Chapter 3: Selling Women

Hearing the touch lotus, the barley desperately wanted to open her eyes, but she couldn't touch the lotus, and the sister in the previous life froze to death in the pear blossom lake, and it turned out that the sister in the previous life gave her life because of her. I remember that a few days after my sister's death, my mother, who was in a trance, rolled down the slope while going up the mountain to cut firewood...... I also followed, my sister can't die, my mother can't die, if she dies, let her die, anyway, she thought she had died once!

After fighting all his strength, "don't", the barley finally woke up. "Sister, don't go ......," he said with all his strength.

Gu Zi heard a voice: "Mom, Dad, look, my sister is awake"

"Well, I'm awake, Guzi, quickly bring the porridge, his father will bring some more ice, and give the child another ice......

Gu Zi had red eyes and brought a bowl of corn porridge

"Sister, don't go, I'm fine, sister, don't touch the lotus root...... Then you will die, I don't want you to die, eldest sister" Qing Barley lay with tears in her eyes, and told her eldest sister again and again

"Well, sister won't go, as long as you're well, sister won't go anywhere, sister will accompany you......" Gu Zi saw her sister crying, and immediately echoed while wiping her tears.

Qing barley, holding Gu Zi's hand to death, was afraid that as soon as he let go, his sister would die in Pear Blossom Lake.

The next day, in the morning, Qing Barley felt a warm hand on her head, which made her wake up instantly, and she saw her mother's concerned eyes, her head didn't hurt at all, although she didn't have much strength in her body, but it was much better than yesterday, and she smiled at the moment, "Mom, I'm fine"

"Well, good boy, it's okay, Mom put the urine bowl in the outhouse, your head is broken, you can't blow the wind, don't go outside when you pee,, just put the scarf on your head, and then go out, today, Mom is going to send your little sister to your grandma's house, after a while, your eldest sister gets up, let her cook for you to eat, me and your dad, go and go back"

Only then did the barley see that Millet was wrapped in a quilt to be held in her father's arms.

The father who shrugged his head didn't say a word, but there was sadness in his eyes that couldn't be dissolved, and this sadness made the barley want to shed tears.

The barley came back to her senses steeply, and she was about to give away her little sister. In the previous life, didn't the little sister disappear at this time? It wasn't until she got married and knew her life story that she walked around with herself.

Qing barley's eyes were wet in an instant, and tears kept falling, in the previous life, the four-year-old daughter died, and her heart was also dead, and now her parents are going to give her sister away, at this time, how much their hearts should hurt, don't, she doesn't want her parents to bear such pain. She doesn't want to give her sister away, even if she is tired to death in the future, she must let the family stay together, after a lifetime, she regards family affection as more important than life.

After the birth of her sister, her parents, who lost their smiles, always felt like a dwarf in the village because they had no son, and now she couldn't be ridiculed, and her parents couldn't even afford to raise their children.

My sister gave it away, my parents, I won't be able to hold my head up for the rest of my life......

"Mom, is it okay to send my sister away in a few days, I used to be wrong, I always bullied my sister, I'm sick now, and no one accompanies me, I want to play with my sister for two days" Qing barley, crying and shedding tears

Looking at her mother's embarrassed expression, Qingli said again, "Or one day, will my mother send her away again?"

Lu Xiaohong was also reluctant to send her little daughter away, but she reluctantly agreed to other people, and took other people's food, how can this talk not count, it will make people poke their backbones.

These two girls have not liked the old girl since they were children, and they have never given the old girl a good face, what's wrong with it now. Could it be that the head is broken, and he is sensible. Looking at the second daughter who was crying and the little girl who was about to give away, Lu Xiaohong, tears couldn't help but fall

"Dad, look ......"

Wang Dazhi put the little girl on the kang, put his hand on his head, and squatted on the ground at once: "Alas! Then stay for two days, anyway, within three days, we don't break our promise, but I'm afraid that you will feel uncomfortable, so I want to send it over quickly" After saying the last sentence, his father's voice can be heard by anyone A little changed, Wang Dazhi immediately turned his head and walked out of the inner room, not wanting the child to see his reddened eyes.

Looking at her sad husband, Lu Xiaohong's tears were even more like tap water, and she immediately followed out.

Watching her parents go out, the eldest sister poked her head out, "Second sister, Dad, sold the little sister, the food we ate last night was exchanged for the little sister" The eldest sister's cry came from the bed, the cry was not loud, maybe the eldest sister was afraid that her parents would be sad to hear it.

With tears in her eyes, she climbed to the eldest sister's bed and patted her eldest sister, the eldest sister, who was only ten years old, was also a big child after all. The eldest sister who had been pumping for a long time said, "Second sister, after a while, I will dig lotus roots, earn money, return the grain, and redeem the little sister, I don't want millet to leave our house."

When Qing Barley heard that the eldest sister was going to dig lotus roots, she was immediately so frightened that her soul almost flew away. Tears flowed back in fright.

I couldn't help but think about it, so I interrupted her loudly, "Eldest sister, you can't dig lotus roots," maybe it was too loud, and suddenly the eldest sister stopped crying, and stared at her in disbelief, "Second sister, sister knows that you don't like Si'er, but Si'er, it's also our own sister, you just don't like her, and you can't watch it, she is given away."

Qing Barley suddenly came to her senses, and while helping the eldest sister wipe her tears, she said: "Eldest sister, you can only earn a few dollars by digging lotus roots, what year will you be able to bring your little sister back, we have to find a way, we can't send my little sister away."

Gu Zi listened to the words of the second sister, and looked at the second sister with a look of disbelief, "If you don't send the little sister, there will be no food at home, and my mother said, we all have to starve to death without food."

Qing Barley thought about it, but she had lived twenty years longer than her, and she couldn't have thought of a way.

"Second sister, if we don't dig lotus root in Lihua Lake, what else can we sell for money?" Hearing that the eldest sister always mentions Pear Blossom Lake, Qingli suddenly remembered something that should happen in ten years, and her eyes suddenly lit up!

The hillside on the north side of Lake Ewha Lake is a cemetery, and one of the tombs seems to have belonged to a high-ranking official, and it was repaired to the bottom of Lake Ewha Lake, and a lot of gold and silver treasures were brought out of it at that time. If you find the tomb yourself, as long as you get a gold ingot, your sister won't have to give it away.

Thinking of this, the barley involuntarily clenched his fists. yes, I'm going to find the cemetery.

"Children, get up and wash your face," came the mother's cry from the outhouse.

Gu Zi and Qing Barley glanced at each other, did not speak again, sat up at the same time, put on cotton jackets and cotton pants, and woke up the two sisters, and after she helped Millet get dressed, Maizi also put on her clothes.

The eldest sister Gu Ziyi came in with a hot water washbasin and helped Xiaomi'er wash her face first, and the three sisters washed it one after another.
