Thank you for @ Yiyue Night Song @ Wei Zhen's Dragon Boat Festival zongzi ~ Happy Dragon Boat Festival ~ Dear friends, Happy Dragon Boat Festival ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Let her get out, let her get out of ......" Because Huiya suddenly became sharp, the Dong family was completely in trouble, Dong Taohua screamed for Huiya to get out, and Mrs. Dong was annoyed and embarrassed by what Huiya said, and she carried a feather duster to teach Huiya a hard lesson. But Dong Da and Dong Taoshu felt that what Huiya said was the truth, and they stopped the mother and daughter from rushing out with some unpleasant feelings in their hearts.
At this time, Hui Ya had already run out quickly, her tears flowed down her cheeks, and all the resentment in her past life and this life exploded at that moment just now, making Hui Ya tremble.
Huiya unconsciously ran to the mountain where Mama Zheng was, and looked at the two pine trees planted in front of Mama's grave from a distance, and the tears that had just eased rolled down again.
"Mama, Hui Ya doesn't want to be angry in the Dong family, I found an apprenticeship job in the Lianjia Tea Workshop today, and I'm going to the Lian family......" Hui Ya said while crying, kowtowed to Mama Zheng's grave three times, and dug out the gold and silver buried next to the grave bag.
The mountain road is rugged, although Huiya walked back and forth to the backing mountain, but she didn't really know the road, and walked forward according to the memory of the morning, the more Huiya walked, the more she felt that she was too impulsive just now.
Now that I have fallen out with the Dong family, what should I do when I become an apprentice with Dong Taoshu and Dong Youcheng in the future? How awkward it must be to meet! I rushed out in such a fit of anger, what if I got lost in the mountains? Even if you don't get lost in the mountains, what if the teahouse doesn't take you in?
Huiya's heart was full of confusion, but she stubbornly refused to turn her head and go back to Dong's house, looking at the sunset in the west, and walked in the direction of the teahouse with an empty stomach.
The mountain road is already rugged and difficult to walk, and Hui Ya has just cried and made a fuss and her body is a little weak, so she walks even slower, and when it gets dark, Hui Ya has not yet reached the backer.
The night wind whined, and the birds fluttered their wings and flew up violently, so frightened that Huiya hugged the burden in her hand, shrunk her shoulders and rushed forward. The mountains at night are already terrible, although Huiya is an adult in the core, but the body is still just a child, if there is any danger in the mountain, it is not a chance to survive at all.
Thinking that she might get lost in this deep mountain, and that she might be buried in the belly of a wild beast, Huiya's heart was even more afraid, and she secretly regretted why she ran out on impulse.
Even if he is angry again, it is better to stay up all night at Dong's house, and leave after dawn. If you get lost in the mountains and encounter some wild beasts or something, you will not only be wronged, but you will die here.
Thinking of death, Huiya is afraid, but more unwillingly, if she dies so unexplained, what will her mother and brother do in the future, do you want to let Xiao Zheng's femme fatale woman kill and mutilate, and then live a sad life?
No, it must not be like this, Huiya shook her head desperately, even if she encounters a beast, she has to fight hard, and she can't wait to die.
The howl of an unknown animal in the distance made Hui Ya, who was like a frightened bird, jump up in shock, and the little courage that she had gathered just now disappeared in an instant. Huiya hurriedly quickened her pace and walked forward, her teeth already pounding up and down unconsciously, making a gurgling sound.
I don't know how much time passed, and when Huiya was almost desperate, she suddenly saw a yellowish light in the distance.
The light seemed to be a guiding light, which gave hope to Huiya, who had been frightened to the extreme, and she staggered towards the warm light, not caring about the stones under her feet, and the leaves and weeds scratching her face, so she wanted to hurry to the place where the light was.
Under the quiet night sky, the small courtyard is not quiet, and the warm laughter is endless, and it is time to eat. Huiya looked at the familiar courtyard, smelled the aroma of the food, and listened to the long-lost laughter, only to feel that her heart suddenly relaxed, and her feet fell to the gate of Lianjia's courtyard as soon as she was weak.
"Who is it?" The sound of Huiya falling to the ground was heard by the people in the courtyard, and after a short silence, someone walked to the gate with a stick.
"Who is it?" The man inside pushed the door open a small crack, but did not lower the latch, and saw a teenage girl lying in the doorway, so he exhaled lightly and opened the door.
"Which kid are you, why do you run out at night?" When the man had pushed the door shut again, he opened the latch, and when he looked out with his shrewd probe and found no sign of the beast, he beckoned the people in the courtyard to come out and helped Huiya inside.
"Isn't this the apprentice recruited today?" It was the girl named Xiangmo who was holding Huiya, and after taking Huiya into the house, she put it on the edge of the kang in the house.
Mrs. Lian's family was eating by the kang, and when they saw Xiangmo helping a little girl in, they all gathered around, and Mrs. Lian immediately recognized Huiya as the apprentice she recruited today.
"Good boy, don't cry......" Mrs. Lian looked at Huiya's face full of mud and tears, and when there were many scratches, she hurriedly washed a clean handkerchief and helped Huiya wipe her little face.
Huiya walked nearly fifty miles of mountain roads a day, quarreling and scared, and now she was very weak, she saw Mrs. Lian's kind and considerate appearance, saw everyone's concerned eyes, and the children on the edge of the kang looking at her motionless, only to feel that her heart instantly settled down.
"Husband...... Madam...... I have nowhere to go, can I stay in the tea shop first? I will work hard......" Huiya said with some stumbling, although Huiya has suffered a lot in her past life and suffered a lot, she is a little arrogant in her bones, and she is really worried about this kind of soft-spoken begging.
"You are an apprentice in our tea shop, of course you can stay, you can eat and change your clothes first, and let Xiangmo arrange a place to live for you later, okay?" Mrs. Lian looked at Hui Ya's palm-sized little face, which was not much older than her own girl, and said with a gentle smile.
"Thank you, madam...... Hui Ya whispered her gratitude, and her emotions were so excited that tears were about to pour out again.
"Don't cry, don't cry, girls' tears are golden beans, and it's worthless to cry all the time." Mrs. Lian gently patted Hui Ya on the back and personally brought Hui Ya a bowl full of food.
Huiya took the steaming meal, and looked at the white rice, meat and vegetables in it with teary eyes, only to feel as if her heart was ironed by this meal, and began to eat it with gusto.
After all, she was young, and Huiya was a little sleepy after eating, and was taken to Xiangmo's room by Xiangmo, because she was full of food and relieved, Huiya fell asleep after a while.
