At this critical moment, there was another horse bell in the distance.

Three white horses heard the wind, and the horses were carrying three women wearing hats, and when the Marquis of Dingyuan saw it, he immediately turned the horse's head and went to the woman at the head.

"Master Hou, what's going on?" the woman on horseback spoke, her voice soft and weak, as delicate as a lark.

Under the hanging net, I couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly, but I saw that she was wearing a tooth-white narrow-sleeved shirt, with a sandalwood wide belt around her waist, and her posture was graceful. Looking at her size, Ruo Mo is about the same age as Su Ning.

Marquis Dingyuan said softly to the woman: "There is a Diao Min who picked up my prey and refused to return it. ”

The woman looked at Su Ning, and she said softly: "She did this, there must be a reason for it, did Master Hou ask for a reason?"

The big man beside Dingyuan Hou hugged his fist to the woman and said: "Miss Zhen, this Diao people are unscrupulous, trying in vain to deceive Hou Ye, she claims to be friends with the fox, and also said that the fox has just given birth to six cubs, and it is really hateful to want to deceive the fox on this ground." ”

Zhen Xiuli looked at Su Ning again, and she asked, "This girl, is what you said true?"

Su Ning saw that there was a turning point, and hurriedly replied: "What the folk girl said is the truth, the fox's nest is in the hillside not far from here, and the six cubs are inside. ”

Zhen Xiuli was convinced when she heard her emotional, and she persuaded Ding Ninghou: "Master Hou, if this is the case, you will let the fox go." ”

Dingyuan Hou said in a low voice: "I promised to send a fox to you to make Zhaojun's suit." ”

Zhen Xiuli said: "Thanks to Hou Ye's love, Xiuli is grateful, but Xiuli hopes that Hou Ye can spare the life of the blue fox to show Hou Ye's kindness and compassion." ”

Zhen Xiuli is the wife of Dingyuan Marquis who has not passed the door, and Dingyuan Hou is obedient to her, and this requirement is not a problem. However, he is young and vigorous, and the prey in his hands is now being given away, which makes him unhappy.

Dingyuan Hou snorted unhappily: "Anyway, the mountains are full of prey, and Benhou is not short of this one." ”

Zhen Xiuli smiled: "Hou Ye is wise. ”

Su Ning was overjoyed, and kowtowed a few more times: "Thank you Master Hou, thank you Master Hou ......"

The Marquis of Dingyuan clamped the horse's belly, whipped the horse, and continued to hunt for other prey, and the rest of the people also evacuated. Zhen Xiuli explained a few words to the maid behind her, and the maid turned over and dismounted.

The maid came to Su Ning, who was still kneeling on the ground, and handed her a white porcelain vial.

"This is the gold sore medicine that my young lady gave you to heal the fox's wounds. ”

Su Ning thanked and took it, and the white fox in the grass saw it all the time, and then quietly retreated. Uncle Niu and others, who were watching the excitement outside, also dispersed.

Su Ning took the gold sore medicine, hugged the dying Huahua, and returned to its cave. It took a lot of effort for her to remove the arrow from Flowey's body, and then she powdered it and tore off her sleeve to bandage it.

The little foxes squeaked with hunger, and they all squeezed on Flowey by smell, stretching out their little pointed beaks to suck milk. Now that Huahua's life is in danger, where is there still a little milk to supply? The little foxes sucked and found that there was no milk, and squeaked again.

While crying, Su Ning took the bamboo tube she brought with her and fed Huahua water, but Huahua was so weak that she couldn't even open her eyes. Su Ning was very worried that it would die, and stayed by its side until after noon, before she had to leave with a basket on her back.

When she was far away, there was a rustling sound in the grass in front of the fox's hole, and the white fox came out of it. It glanced in the direction Su Ning had walked, and then walked towards the fox hole step by step.

As soon as Su Ning walked into the village, she felt the people around her pointing at her, and she walked home uneasily. As soon as Su Ning entered the door, Li, who was sitting in the courtyard pulping clothes, suddenly stopped her hand, she ran to Su Ning with an arrow, picked up the wooden mallet in her hand and hit it.

Su Ning hurriedly held her head to dodge, and the fruit on her back basket spilled and rolled to the ground.

Li scolded angrily while whipping: "You cheap hoof! You still have the face to come back! You have caused such a disaster! You dare to come back? Why don't you die outside!"

The second sister and younger brother saw their mother beating the eldest sister on the side, and they were so frightened that they hid in the house.

Su Ning knew that it must have been reported that she had offended Dingyuanhou, so she didn't dare to resist, so she could only squat on the ground and hold her head and be beaten.

Li Shi was panting, she stopped for the time being, and scolded: "You have eaten the courage of an ambitious leopard! Dare to go and grab prey from Hou Ye! You are afraid that you will not be able to kill our whole family! You have raised you for 12 years! You slut! Pigs and dogs are not as good! I want you to die in front of me! I can't beat you to death a stinky bitch with no face and no skin!"

After she finished scolding, she picked up a few more sticks and went down, and at this time, an old voice trembled and trembled:

"Fight! Fight well! Beat me to death first......

Li Shi paused, and Su Ning also endured the pain and looked up.

Grandma stumbled by the wall, and fell down before she took two steps, and Su Ning crawled over to help her. Grandma cried and hugged her, shouting nonsense:

"I picked up my eldest sister back...... I'm the one who hurt your whole family! You beat me to death first!"

Grandma and Su Ning's grandchildren hugged each other and cried bitterly, attracting many villagers to gather outside the house to watch the excitement, all pointing and poking the ground inside, Li was so embarrassed that she couldn't hold her face, she shook the stick, and ran into the house angrily to cover the door.

Su Ning and grandma supported each other and returned to grandma's house.

Grandma was in tears, and while sitting down, she muttered: "Big sister...... Grandma hurt you...... It's grandma useless......"

Su Ning cried and shook her head: "No, grandma...... It's my bad ......."

Su Ning pulled her tattered sleeves to wipe her grandmother's tears, and her grandmother read again: "My old bones are useless...... I can't save you a few times...... Big sister...... If you can't stay in this home, don't stay, one day you will be beaten to death......"

Su Ning knelt on the ground, hugged her grandmother, and whimpered:

"Grandma, I don't want to go, I want to take care of you......"

"Silly child...... grandma touched her head distressedly and cried, "How many years does grandma have to live...... Your mother hates you, if you don't leave, she will also get rid of you......"

Su Ning just shook her head and said, "Unless my mother wants to drive me away, I won't leave!"

Although the Li family has always been harsh to Su Ning, her father Yu Jinfu treats her well, and several younger brothers and sisters are greedy for food and play, but they don't embarrass her, and then there are Yu Wande and grandmother who have loved her since childhood. If she could, Su Ning really didn't want to leave this home.

Grandma howled again: "It's so stupid, you kid, it's so stupid......"

The grandfather and grandson have been hiding in the backyard room, and they didn't even dare to go out during lunch, for fear that the Li family would be angry and beat Su Ning again.

During this period, there seemed to be a guest coming in the front yard, and Su Ning faintly heard human voices, but she closed the doors and windows, so it was not easy to go out to check.

Grandma was worried that Su Ning was injured by Li's family, so she asked her to find some medicine to apply it, but Su Ning didn't go. Su Ning has been injured every time she has been a child, and the wound has always healed very quickly, and she has never been sick since she was a child, she doesn't know what the reason is, but her body bones are relatively strong.

Towards evening, hundreds of birds returned to the forest, and the smoke of cooking was everywhere.

Grandma was sitting on the kang and napping, Su Ning was learning to do embroidery with a flower bandage in her hand, and the second sister knocked on the door and came in.

"Sister, my mother asked you to go to dinner. The second sister said to Su Ning, she also brought her grandmother's meal in advance, which should have been ordered by the Li family.

Su Ning was stunned, she thought that she would have nothing to eat today, but she didn't expect that the Li family would be very compassionate. She didn't think too much about it, put down the embroidery, and followed the second sister to the front yard house.

Su Ning walked into the house, Yu Wande had already returned home, he learned from his second sister that Su Ning was beaten by her mother in an accident, and he originally wanted to secretly send her food and medicine.

Yu Wande asked quietly, "Are you okay?"

Su Ning shook her head: "It's okay......"

She went to the kitchen to help serve porridge, and what she ate today was not thin corn, but steamed dry rice, in addition, Li also stewed old hen soup and fried a plate of fungus mushrooms and winter sunflower vegetables.

When he sat down to eat, the six-year-old second brother had to reach out and grab the chicken leg on the plate, the family could not eat two meals of chicken a year, and the chicken leg was always eaten for him and his younger brother. Li Shi hit his hand with the head of the chopsticks, she turned to Su Ning, and said with a smile:

"Big sister, you can eat a chicken leg. ”
