Chapter 1 Selling
In Qinghua Town, Yan Xiaoyue shouted loudly in the courtyard of the Yapo Qian family, "Stop, Tian Chunhua, you can't go." ”
I saw a thin and black little girl, wearing a shabby dress full of patches that could not be seen as it was, combing two braids, stepping on straw sandals to catch up with a young woman, grabbing her sleeves, "Sister-in-law, why did you sell me?" What qualifications do you have to sell me? Aren't you afraid that grandma will know about trouble? ”
Tian Chunhua flicked her sleeves vigorously and shook Yan Xiaoyue off.
"Hmph, why can't the old lady sell you? Your father died in battle five years ago, and your mother ran away with someone last year, and now she is the eldest sister-in-law like a mother, I raised you for more than half a year, and now the army has come over, what are you still doing with it? If you don't think it's good here, I'll sell you to the kiln when I go back? Tian Chunhua looked proud, holding the four taels of silver she had just gotten tightly in her hand, staring at Yan Xiaoyue greedily, she really didn't think that such a cheap girl would be so valuable, if only she had known, she could save a lot of food for their family.
Yan Xiaoyue took a big step back, although she didn't get along for a long time, it also made her think about Tian Chunhua's temperament almost, this is definitely a shameless master who asks for money. But is it really going to be sold like this?
Yan Xiaoyue looked at the man who had been shrinking back with a pleading face, "Big brother, are you going to sell me too?" I'm the sister of your mother! ”
Da Niu looked up at Yan Xiaoyue, and looked at Tian Chunhua with a cower, and said with a weak heart: "Four girls, there is chaos outside, you are here, maybe you can follow the rich and noble family to enjoy happiness?" After speaking, he refused to look at Yan Xiaoyue again, holding his mother-in-law with one hand and the child with the other, wanting to leave quickly.
"No, big brother, you can't do this, grandma asked you to take me to escape, if you can't see me when you go back, how can you pay for it?" Yan Xiaoyue caught up, jumped up, grabbed Da Niu's arm, and hugged him desperately.
The child in the arms of the big cow was frightened by Xiao Yue's action and cried "wow", Tian Chunhua rushed up from the side and pushed hard at Yan Xiaoyue, Xiao Yue was hit hard and slid on the ground and slid out a long way, the hot sun in August shone on her body, but Xiao Yue didn't feel a trace of warmth, she seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, and her whole body was cold and cold.
"Do you think Grandma really likes you? The old lady will tell you this stupid girl today, she is using you as a rough maid in our house, look at you in our house, can you have a hot meal? Can you do one less thing? Didn't you have to get up and cook last time when you were sick? If it weren't for the fact that you were really burned, do you think you would be able to rest for three days? Say you're stupid, you're really stupid to the point of home, when the time comes, we'll say you're lost on the road, if grandma asks for half a word more about the old lady and your surname. After saying that, he spat and pulled the big cow away.
Yan Xiaoyue sat on the ground in despair, yes, she was a superfluous person in that home, her only role was to keep working, and no one would care about her life or death. If they had cared a little bit, the four girls would not have been dragged into a high fever because of a small cold and finally returned to the underworld, and she would not have come to this strange world. Maybe Tian Chunhua won't sell her this time, maybe the second aunt will sell her next time. Aren't there several families in the village who have sold their daughters?
"Girl, are you alright?" Yan Xiaoyue heard the voice, raised her head, the dazzling sunlight sprinkled down as if covered with a layer of golden sand, Xiaoyue squinted her eyes and looked at this strange boy, wearing a cyan shirt, her fifteen or sixteen-year-old face was full of greenness, but the warm and familiar smile on her face made Yan Xiaoyue stunned, through Xiao Liuzi, Xiaoyue's eyes stared at the void, as if she could still see the lover who had been by her side.
shouted in his heart: "Lin Feng, is it you?" Are you here to comfort me? But what should I do now, what should I do? I don't want to be a maid, I don't want to. ”
Yan Yue'er hugged herself and cried, "I don't want to be a maid, don't do it." The miserable and sad cry told Xiaoyue's fear, confusion, unwillingness, and loss during this time, and she didn't know how she came here from a celebration party? I don't know if she is in China's historical dynasties? Can she go back? Will you ever see him again? Why was she so unlucky to come to such a cold-blooded family? Isn't it enough for her to make cows and horses for that family? Still want to sell her? Can blood relatives do this to her?
It wasn't until she was hoarse that Satsuki stopped crying and slowly quieted down in the constant sobbing. Jing Li, who was in the orphanage since she was a child, told Yan Yue'er that crying could not solve anything, but would only make herself fall into a bad mood and find it difficult to extricate herself.
Yan Xiaoyue stood up and pounded her numb legs with her hands, suddenly paused her left hand, slowly opened her palm, looked down at the small purple mole in her palm, her eyes were full of burning brightness, ha, why did she forget it? That mysterious space has only been given her infinite surprises for just two days, will this time be her lifesaver? If it weren't for someone around her, Yan Xiaoyue would have wanted to go into the space immediately to take a look.
Yan Xiaoyue, who felt that she had something to rely on, her brain was also alive, if, if her luck was extremely bad and there was nothing valuable in the space, then she could still rely on the space to escape, anyway, she would just starve to death.
Seeing that Xiao Yue finally quieted down, Xiao Liuzi handed over a handkerchief from the side, "Are you in a better mood?" Don't worry too much, Mother Qian is the best tooth woman here, you are so young, Mother will definitely keep you for a while, don't worry. ”
Xiao Yue took the handkerchief, wiped her face, glanced at the handkerchief, and put it away embarrassedly, "The handkerchief is dirty, I'll wash it and return it to you." ”
Xiao Liuzi looked at the girl who only reached his waist, and she was a poor person, during this time, the situation outside was getting tighter and tighter, and there were more and more poor people who sold their daughters. "Your name is Four Girls? Didn't the family give you a name? My name is Xiao Liuzi, and Mother Qian instructed me to take you to familiarize yourself with the environment first. ”
"Well, what about Mother Qian?"
"Oh, today, Li Yuanwai's family wants to buy a maid, and my mother took someone to Li's house. You can come with me to your room and get some rest. ”
