Chapter 4: Let Her Go
Sister Hua'er sighed, raised a kick and kicked Xiao Lan's knee, kicked her to the ground, twisted her hand by the way, twisted her pair of frozen and cracked little hands behind her back, she took out a hemp rope from her sleeve, and scolded: "Little girl, you dare to bite me? ”
Xiao Lan's face was full of broken snow, and there were ice chips into her nose, which was so itchy and uncomfortable, she couldn't help but sneeze a few times in succession, tears and snot suddenly flowed all over her little face, she wanted to raise her sleeves to wipe it off, but her hands were pinched by Sister Hua'er, and she couldn't move, so she could only cry: "Who are you? I don't recognize you, why are you holding on to me?" Daddy...... Daddy...... Come and save Xiaolan!"
Hua'er raised the rope, slapped Xiaolan a few times, and said sharply: "Little girl, let me tell you, it was your father who brought me and me this morning, saying that the family is poor and can't support you, let me take you away with fifteen copper plates and seven catties of rice, this is a deal that you are willing to make, and your deed of sale has your father's drawing, do you understand?" Your father has sold you to me----- and you have gone to exchange for copper plates and rice, and you will eventually die with such a father, so come with me, I will take you to a good place to enjoy happiness, eat and clothe yourself, and keep you growing up quickly, tsk, such a good blessing fell in front of you, why are you crying?
Xiao Lan's little face was blown red by the north wind and became pale, she stared at the thin black hemp rope in Sister Hua'er's hand, her eyes showed a light of panic and resentment, she kicked Sister Hua'er's thick leather boots with her little feet wearing broken shoes, and cried: "I don't believe it, you are talking nonsense, my father will not sell me, you let go of me, I will go and ask my father." ”
Sister Hua'er snorted, stepped on Xiaolan's footboard, and stepped hard: "I don't believe you shouted a few words, see if your tuberculosis father can't come out to save you, let me tell you, he is lying comfortably on the bed covered with a warm quilt, he is very conscious, and he has not fainted, little girl, don't be strong, or follow me obediently, Sister Hua'er will not embarrass you." ”
Xiao Lan moved her little body on the snow and shouted, "Daddy save me, Daddy...... Help me, there are bad people bullying Xiaolan, daddy...... You really don't want Xiaolan anymore? Daddy...... Daddy!"
The immature and desolate voice dispersed with the north wind, and the broken wooden windows of two or three houses not far away creaked open, and the people inside poked their heads out to look this way, and then slammed the windows shut.
The Xiucai couple's house was already lit with cooking smoke, and the faint curling light smoke had just risen from the chimney, and it had been blown away by the cold north wind.
Except for the whistling north wind, the whole village seemed to be asleep.
Sister Hua'er waited for Xiaolan to shout for a while, then took out a handkerchief from her arms, stuffed it into her mouth, and chattered: "You don't believe it, you want to shout, shouting will only hurt yourself if you break your throat, what a cheap girl." ”
She leaned over and was about to tie Xiaolan up with a rope, when she suddenly felt a pain in her buttocks, as if something hard was poking hard into it.
"Let go of Xiaolan, no one can take her away without my permission. ”
The boy who was also thin was holding a rolled wood-breaking knife in his hand, the knife was pointing at Sister Hua'er's buttocks, his blue face was full of anger, and the back of his skinny hand was full of green tendons, but his eyes were as clear as a clear spring.
"Okay, you stinky boy with a milky smell, you dare to poke the old lady with a knife?"
Sister Hua'er's eyes were full of time, and she slapped Xiao Lan in the face, knocking her unconscious, and then turned around and snatched the little boy's firewood knife chopping hand, she took the knife in front of the boy's eyelids and brushed three times, and shouted: "Stinky boy, so bold, dare to point a knife at the old lady, now the old lady will shave your eyebrows down, ask if you are afraid?"
Although the boy's face was shocked, his feet were frozen and he did not move.
"Let Xiaolan go, her father thinks she's cumbersome, then I'll take care of her, as long as Xiong Chen lives, you will never allow you, the fat tooth woman, to buy her into that demon cave." ”
Sister Hua'er sneered, kicked the boy away, and said: "That's not up to you, this girl's father has already accepted my property, this girl I want to decide, you are neither his husband-in-law, nor her closest brother, why stand up for him, quickly roll the old lady away, anger the old lady, tie you up, and sell you to Jiudao Villa as a slave." ”
The boy rolled a few laps on the snow, hit a small dirt slope and stopped, he got up with his hands on the snow, wiped the blood from his nose, turned and rushed towards Sister Hua'er.
Sister Hua'er was bending down to tie up Xiao Lan, but she was hit by the boy vigorously, and her fat body suddenly shook a few times, her center of gravity was unstable, and she fell on all fours.
The boy knelt down on one knee in front of Xiao Lan, helped Xiao Lan, who was unconscious, pressed her hard into her person, and called: "Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan ......"
Sister Hua'er has thick skin and thick flesh, and she is wrapped in a thick cotton jacket, although she fell embarrassed this time, but she was not injured, she sat in the snow and gasped for a few breaths, looking at the boy who was constantly shaking Lan Ya's head, her slender eyes looked left and right, and she had a plan in her heart.
She got up from the ground, walked to the two of them, knocked the boy to the ground with an elbow, she picked up Xiao Lan, put her behind her, and shouted with her hands on her waist: "Boy, this girl is mine now, your acquaintance will disappear quickly, angering the old lady, but there is no good fruit to eat." ”
The boy turned over and stood up, his expression was solemn, he took two steps forward, pointed at Sister Hua'er and said coldly: "You get out, I said, no one can take her away without my permission!"
Sister Hua'er snorted, leaned forward with both hands, grabbed the boy's tattered clothes, and said: "I don't know whether to live or die, you hit me just now, I haven't settled accounts with you yet, quickly call your father and mother to come out and comment on it, otherwise I will escort you to the yamen and let the eldest master beat you up!"
The boy held Sister Hua'er's thick arms with both hands, struggled hard, and kept kicking at Sister Hua'er with both feet at the same time, he was very thin, a pair of arms were almost all bones, but the strength contained in the body made Sister Hua'er, who was more than three times his size, quite difficult to deal with.
Sister Hua'er grabbed the boy's wrist with both hands, and after receiving a few kicks from him, she screamed violently, freed her left hand, grabbed the boy's waist, lifted him up, and threw him into the snow.
The boy snorted, and before he could get up, Sister Hua'er had already stepped on his chest, she leaned over and picked up the broken wood knife on the ground, and hit the boy on the forehead with the back of the knife, and suddenly blood splashed, and the boy rolled his eyes up and fainted.
Sister Hua'er threw away the firewood knife, patted the rust chips on her hands, and scolded: "Stinky boy who is asking for his own hardship." ”
