"I, I'm following the third brother. Where is the third brother? I, where am I..." Jiang Yue timidly took her hand out of Hu Yuniang's hand and looked at Nie Zhao anxiously.
The third brother just asked for her opinion. Does he have any plans to keep her?
Jiang Yue thought to herself that she was finally smart. She quickly raised her hands and said: "I, I, I, I eat, I eat very little, I can, I can work, but, I can support myself..."
Hu Yuniang's beauty turned pale: "Are you stupid?"
She was about to say more, but Nie Zhao had already raised his hand in a gesture of invitation: "It won't look good if I beat you out, so you should take the initiative yourself."
Nie Zhao doesn't distinguish between men and women. He doesn't care about women. If he really takes action, he might be embarrassed.
Hu Yuniang snorted coldly, covered her face with a silk fan, and walked away charmingly: "Who would want to come to this shabby place like yours?"
She leaned against the door and greeted Jiang Yue: "If you change your mind, you can go to Ruyifang in the north of the city to find me." She winked at her again.
Nie Zhao pretended to take out the dough and beat her again, so she ran away quickly.
The sound of Hu Yuniang's footsteps gradually faded away, and the fragrance of powder spreads slightly in the yard.
Before Jiang Yue could speak, Nie Zhao asked, "Where's the grass in my yard..."
Rarely, there was a hint of uncertainty in his tone.
Jiang Yue's tone was flattering: "Slave, slave, I've pulled it out~"
There was a slight uptick in her voice at the end.
Nie Zhao pondered: "What about the grass that has been pulled out?"
There was no one in the yard, and there was no one outside the yard. He thought he was not blind.
"Nu, Nudu, eat, eat..." Jiang Yue's tone deepened.
"What's wrong with you? Say it again? What? What happened to the grass?" Compared to Jiang Yue eating the grass, he couldn't believe his ears even more, and he hurriedly leaned over to try to hear more clearly.
"Eat, eat..." Nie Zhao asked. Jiang Yue's heart skipped a beat, thinking that she had done something wrong. She pulled her clothes, lowered her head, and whispered again.
Well, Nie Zhao was indeed neither blind nor deaf. He saw and heard correctly. The grass was not on the ground, not outside the wall, but in Jiang Yue's belly.
He pondered for a moment, bent down and observed Jiang Yue's dirty smiling face, suddenly smiled, and said to Jiang Yue in a brisk tone: "Did you eat? Then you will die soon. There are two poisonous weeds in the yard. If you eat them It would pierce the intestines and cause rot in the stomach, and eventually the person would fester and die. I didn’t have time to clean them up, and those two plants were particularly bitter.”
Jiang Yue was not frightened. When she heard that she was going to die, she started crying silently. When she cried, her face wrinkled into a bun. She looked like she was indeed a child. She stammered and wiped away her tears and said, "Everyone is suffering. No, I don’t remember which two they are…”
Nie Zhao spread his hands: "There's nothing you can do about it. If you don't remember what poison it is, then where can I find an antidote for you?"
Jiang Yue thought so, and shed more tears. She thought this was probably fate. She would die sooner or later to keep her fiancé safe.
When she thought about it, she suddenly became enlightened and wasn't that sad anymore. She was just worried about the pain, but it shouldn't matter. If it hurt, she could be killed, but she didn't know when it would start to hurt.
While shedding tears, Jiang Yue knelt down, picked up the wowotou that Nie Zhao had just used to beat someone, and held it to him with both hands.
"Slave, I have wiped the house clean. Third brother, can I live more comfortably? Will Nunu die today?"
He was indeed well-behaved. He was so well-behaved that he didn't make a fuss when he heard that he was going to die. He only cried silently and even said that he would help him clean up the house.
Nie Zhao felt that he was really like a beast for lying to her, but he was a beast to begin with. There was nothing to say about this. He clearly understood and reflected on it, but he did not repent.
He squatted down, took the cornbread head, and blew the dirt on it: "But it's not impossible. You go wash your hands first, and I'll tell you how you won't die."
When Jiang Yue heard this, she hurriedly ran to fetch water and washed her hands clean. After washing her hands, she came back and showed them to Nie Zhao: "Wash, wash them clean."
Nie Zhao inspected it and found that it was indeed clean. The bony hands had a dark and yellow complexion with scars and bloodshot wounds, probably from cuts while weeding.
He took out a steamed bun and gave it to her along with the one he had blown clean: "Eat it, you won't die after eating it."
Jiang Yue couldn't believe these words alone, but Nie Zhao had vowed so firmly that she had no choice but to believe it.
She held it over reverently and took a bite...
Hiss, it was so hard, so she started grinding it with her teeth in small mouths.
Well, there's also sand.
I can eat all the grass in the yard, but I don’t know how hungry I am.
Nie Zhao touched a wowotou himself, climbed up the tree lightly, his clothes were flying, and leaned on the branch. While eating, he asked: "How many days have you not eaten?"
Jiang Yue didn't remember very clearly. She clasped her fingers, thought for a while, raised her head and answered: "Just now, the day I arrived in Fuxi, it rained. After drinking, the cabbage became mushy..."
The last time it rained in Fuxi was three days ago, which meant that she hadn't eaten in three days.
That old poisonous insect is really ruthless.
Nie Zhao asked her when she had eaten last time. Jiang Yue suddenly thought of Aunt Ding. She hesitated for a while and then whispered: "Third brother, that... Aunt Ding..."
Nie Zhao said "Oh" with no meaning, and suddenly said: "Don't worry, the person has been buried in a grand ceremony, and even the wild dogs within twenty miles have come to visit."
Jiang Yue giggled twice and said that he was so nice.
This is a weird analogy, why does it say that even wild dogs are coming to the Scenery Funeral?
She was not smart to begin with, but now she is squatting on the ground with a painted face and a nest in her hands. She looks like she has a brain problem. She is like a stupid little beggar. She believes everything they say and says "Okay, okay". Nie It seemed that this person sometimes had a different point of laughter than others. When she saw Jiang Yue like this, she felt inexplicably funny, angry and funny at the same time.
"Third, third brother, laugh, what are you laughing at?" Jiang Yue saw that he never lowered the corner of his mouth, touched her face, and asked weakly.
Nie Zhao tossed the nest in his hand twice and shook his head: "Nothing, I just think that although you are stupid, you are still smart today."
Jiang Yue continued to look at him with clear eyes, waiting for his explanation.
"Do you know who Hu Yuniang is?"
Jiang Yue shook her head when she heard this.
Nie Zhao: "She is the head of Beisifang. Although the people in Zhucheng are poor, there are many troops stationed nearby, and her Goulan and gambling houses are full of money. It is not an exaggeration to say that Hu Yuniang is the richest man in Zhucheng."
Jiang Yue opened her mouth wide with a look of shock.
"What, do you regret not leaving with her?" Nie Zhao teased.
Jiang Yue shook her head: "I just think it's strange that she is a woman. Can she also do business? No, won't she be said to be in the public eye?"
"People are dying one after another in the city like cutting leeks. Being alive is all you need, so why should you care about men and women?"
Nie Zhao's words had a big impact on Jiang Yue. She didn't quite understand it for a moment and felt confused, so she silently lowered her head and ate the nest.
"However, she is a vicious person with countless lives in her hands. She will do anything to achieve her goals. If you follow her, you will probably not learn anything good. I will find a suitable family to raise you." Nie Zhao added that he felt that he was already very good. Be merciful.
"You, you want to send me away?" Jiang Yue was caught off guard by the news. She originally thought that the third brother would stay by default. She was stunned for a moment, at a loss.
Nie Zhao raised his hand and motioned for her to look around: "These three houses are already very barely occupied by people. Needless to say, at your age..." He paused and said, "How old are you now?"
"Eleven." Jiang Yue said blankly.
"Oh, you're only eleven. It's a lot of trouble to raise you at your age. I don't want to bother with you. Besides, you have to abide by your three obediences and four virtues. You and I are different between men and women. It's inconvenient to live together. Let others do it. Feeding is the best arrangement." Nie Zhaozheng said, and when he lowered his head, Jiang Yue's mouth was dripping with blood, which fell on Wowo's head.
He suspected that the other party was attacking her heart with anger, fearing that it would hurt her inside. She had been tortured to the point of becoming a human being, and if she hurt her heart at such a young age, she would suffer a lot in the future.
Nie Zhao quickly got down from the tree and pinched her wrist. He only found weak Qi, weak blood, and signs of irritability, but no other abnormality was found.
Jiang Yue's mouth was still open, and blood was dripping.
Was he biting his tongue in an attempt to commit suicide?
Nie Zhao pinched her cheek and forced her to open her mouth wide. He looked into her mouth and saw that there was a blood groove somewhere inside and blood was oozing out.
...She lost her teeth.
Nie Zhao: "..."
Lowering his head, Jiang Yuezheng looked into his eyes innocently and horrified.
Nie Zhao squeezed out the words through his teeth: "It's the eleventh day and your teeth haven't fallen out yet?"
Jiang Yue twirled her fingers and reminded with a trembling voice: "Men, men and women are on guard, third, third brother..."
Nie Zhao angrily flicked her head. Jiang Yue cooperated and covered her forehead before being hit to the ground.
——
Jiang Yue was sent away anyway, and Nie Zhao acted quickly. He released the news at noon, and in the afternoon he chose a couple - an old, weak and childless couple. The husband was called Xu Dalang and the wife was called Yao Jindi.
The couple are honest and honest people, both know a little bit about words and are reasonable people. They fled famine and came to the city a few years ago. Because they are too honest and honest, they are often bullied.
Nie Zhao felt that such a family was just right. Not rich, but warm and harmonious. With him taking care of him, life was stable.
The couple got a daughter at an old age, and got protection from Nie Zhao in disguise. They quickly thanked Jiang Yue profusely, promised to treat Jiang Yue well, and then happily took her away.
It is true that as Nie Zhao found out, Xu and Yao were honest and honest people, but they were too honest. Because of Nie Zhao's entrustment, although Jiang Yue was their daughter in name, in fact they wanted to kneel down and treat her as their daughter. Serve like your ancestors.
As soon as Jiang Yue entered the house, she couldn't stop crying when she thought about her twists and turns in her life and being kicked out by Nie Zhao. The two of them thought they had done a bad job, so they kowtowed to her with pale faces in fear.
The two elders kowtowed to her. Jiang Yue could not bear it. She didn't know what to do, so she knelt down and kowtowed to them opposite each other. Seeing this, the old couple kowtowed even more violently.
Jiang Yue couldn't bear it at first, and after knocking twice, she fell straight down as soon as she closed her eyes.
The couple became even more panicked and looked for doctors and medicine.
The doctor said that she had many symptoms, most of which came from the heart. She had stagnant Qi and poor emotions. Her liver fire was reversed, she had headaches and red eyes. The fire evil was strong internally and the poisonous evil was external. In addition, she was exposed to wind and cold due to the lowering of body temperature. It's violent, but the body is weak and the blood is depleted, so I can't take medicine easily. It's better to feel comfortable.
Yao Jindi wiped Jiang Yue's body. Jiang Yue lay on the bed coughing intermittently, her eyes were red, and she cried in a daze and said to her: "Grandma, my body hurts."
Yao Jindi was so distressed that she burst into tears, and Jiang Yue cried again: "Grandma, Nunu's husband's family has kicked out the slave, and Nunu will be poisoned to death." She was still thinking about eating poisonous weeds.
Although she was not her biological flesh and blood, she was so skinny and pitiful that she had been abused. When she cried, her heart and flesh felt as if her heart had been ripped out. Yao Jindi cried bitterly and ran to her husband: "Mr. Nie, please take her back." Come on, my poor child."
Xu Dalang was sitting on the steps outside the house. When he heard the cry of the child inside, he sighed a few times, fanned the medicine stove in front of him and said, "Then I will go and beg him. Yueniang has no fate with our family after all."
——
It was a good thing that Jiang Yue had never appeared. When she left, the yard seemed empty and missing something. Nie Zhao could only blame this feeling on Jiang Yue because Jiang Yue had eaten all the grass in the yard, which made it look empty and long. It will be fine when you get up.
He went to the kitchen to get a bowl of water to drink, and he couldn't help but feel lost when he saw that the bowls had been wiped clean, the stove was brand new, and the floor was spotless.
Sure enough, she had cleaned up everything. She hadn't eaten for three days and was so thin, but she still had the strength to clean up the house. She was like a doormat. The couple were already honest, and if they took care of them, they would be more soft and easy to bully. ?
He was still thinking about whether he had found the right adopter. "Dong dong dong..." A subtle knock on the door brought him back to his thoughts.
He put down the bowl and slowly opened the door. Xu Dalang was sweating heavily, rubbing his hands with his left foot and his right foot, with a cautious and unspeakable expression.
