Finally poured out his hand to tidy up the two children, the three of them stood in the courtyard, Pei Yao saw that they were about the same height, a head shorter than herself, and asked, "How old are you two and what are your names?" ”

The elder sister glanced at her younger brother, and then twisted the placket of her hand and whispered: "My name is Yang Man, I am 11 years old, and my younger brother's name is Yang Shu 10 years old." ”

Looking at the emaciated appearance of the two children, at most they look like they are eight or nine years old, and it seems that this hardship began at an early age.

"Do you understand what you're doing, and why you came to my house with me?" Pei Yao asked.

It was still that sister who said cowardly: "We were sold to you by grandma, and we will be your slaves in the future, and you have the final say on our life and death." ”

These are the two children that the old village chief explained on the road when Pei Yao took them out of that house, I am afraid that they will not be sensible and disobedient, and it is legal for a slave like them to be killed by the master.

Pei Yao didn't think about buying them, so she treated them like her own brothers and sisters, and raised them, after all, she was not a relative, and she understood the truth of Shengmien's fight against Mi Hatred.

Anyway, it would be better if she wouldn't harm them to be a little restrained, so when they are older and have their own thoughts, they won't have thoughts that they shouldn't have.

Pei Yao said: "I won't talk about your previous affairs, that day was too hard, would you like to change your name to my surname, and depend on me for your life in the future?" ”

The two siblings are not stupid, of course they know that this sister is a good person, if it weren't for her, they might have both been abused to death.

Seeing the two nodding, Pei Yao smiled and said: "Since you agreed, my sister will be called Wu Man, and my younger brother will be called Wu Shu, okay, keeping your name is to let you remember your parents, and with your sister with the same surname, we will be a family in the future." ”

Seeing that the two were very satisfied with the name change, Pei Yao showed an evil smile, took out her dagger and said, "Come on, two good boys, come and cut off my hair!" ”

The two of them were stunned, but Pei Yao was happy: "You two have lice in your hair, it's hard to get it, shave your hair, and take a hot shower before you can go to bed, you know!" ”

Although the two of them were not taught well, they also knew that it would be ugly to shave their hair, so they covered their heads and didn't do it, Wu Shu hid to the side and said, "Don't shave your head, it's ugly." The sister refused even more.

Pei Yao could only pull down her face and said: "There is only one bed in my house, do you want to sleep outside and freeze to death in the woods, and there are only three of us in this mountain, who will look at you ugly." ”

Seeing that Pei Yao was angry, she also knew that they had no right to refute, so they could only sit on the stone aggrievedly and honestly and let her shave her head.

Pei Yao snorted: "You two little children still know that they are ugly, we don't go out in winter, these months are enough for you to grow very long hair, look at your hair now, it's useless if you don't cut it, it's knotted into a ball." ”

She used scissors to cut off the withered grass-like hair at once, and then shaved off the remaining hair with a dagger, and soon two thin bald heads appeared in front of her, looking very happy! Pei Yao covered her mouth and kept laughing, and the two little guys were about to cry with their mouths in their mouths.

With a straight look, Pei Yao threw some anti-inflammatory and sterilizing herbs left at home into the pot, boiled a large pot of potion, and said to the sisters and brothers: "This basin and towel are for you to use, and you will buy it when there is a flight attendant, you use this basin to scrub and take a bath, you have injuries on your body, and this potion bath is washed quickly." Then the clothes that I changed into were thrown directly into the stove and burned. After saying that, he brought his brother a set of his old short shirt and gave it to him.

The boy went into the cave with a red face and took a bath by himself, Pei Yao asked his sister: "Xiaoman, is your brother doing it by himself, can you wash it well, don't you need to help." ”

Wu Man said: "My younger brother who doesn't need to take a bath by himself at the age of seven or eight, he went to the river to wash, and his father and mother couldn't take care of him at night, so his father taught him to wash himself." ”

"How long has it been since your father died?"

"When I was ten years old, my father was sick for a few days and didn't find a doctor, thinking that I could get through it, but my mother was instructed by my grandmother to go to my father's work, and I was so tired that I didn't know that my father had a high fever at night, so my father went." Wu Man wiped a handful of tears and continued: "Everyone said that grandma tired my father to death, and grandma said that my mother didn't take care of her at night, and everywhere said that my mother died of my father, seeing that my grandmother hated her so much, and I was afraid of tiring our sisters and brothers, so she hanged herself at the gate." ”

Pei Yao shuddered when she heard this, their mother is also a ruthless person, thinking that she had gone to walk through that gate in the morning, Pei Yao suddenly felt a chill on her back. However, the family has hanged people, and it is not prosperous, and the family will have retribution.

Wu Man continued to cry: "But since my father and mother are gone, no one has done the work at home, and I am noisy every day for work, and my brother and I have become punching bags, beating and scolding."

Grandma was angry that we often didn't give us food, sometimes we didn't eat a bite of food a day, in order not to be hungry, or we worked hard, or we went out with my brother to find it, see that we were pitiful, and the neighbors around would sometimes take a help, woo but, grandma heard that we went out to beg for food, and thought we had lost her face, and even lost her temper, saying that we were gluttonous ghosts, and we would die of hunger if we ate less, and beat me and my brother to the grass for two days without getting up, and my brother had a fever and began to talk nonsense. In the end, I desperately called my grandfather, so I gave me a little wine to wipe my brother, and he insisted on coming over.

Since then, we haven't begged for food, and I didn't dare to ask for what others took the initiative to give, and I was arranged to work every day and couldn't go out, so my brother secretly went out to pick up the vegetables that others didn't want, and tried to get them for me to eat, but today I was also beaten half to death."

Wu Man was so sobbing that she couldn't speak, Pei Yao heard that they were also miserable, and she shed tears with them.

She remembered the big quilt cover she saw when she entered the hospital, this is the quilt cover of the whole family for this little girl who has not eaten, when she usually doesn't see it, that day is really embarrassing.

At this time, the grass curtain at the entrance of the cave was lifted, and Wu Shu walked out with red eyes, it seemed that he had heard his sister's words, and he should have complained in his heart.

With a bare head, he took advantage of his thin body to wear Pei Yao's short shirt, Pei Yao was not fat, but he was wearing this dress a little loosely, but the whole person looked more energetic.

Seeing that he was carrying a dirty bucket of water, knowing that he had washed it, let him splash the water into the forest opposite the pond, and waited outside, changing Wu Man to go in and take a bath.

It's already afternoon, the late autumn sun seems to be far from the ground, and I don't feel too hot just by shining on it, plus the breeze gusts, it's really refreshing, and I will feel like lying on the grass, looking at the vast sky, drifting white clouds, and don't think about anything (to be continued.) )
