The sky was gray, with a bone-chilling coldness, and the dark clouds squeezed the sky, hiding the scarlet eyes just now, as if they were about to fall, and it was so depressed that it seemed that the whole world was quiet. The indifferent wind shuttled violently, leaving the exclamations behind them, and gloating at the wolf bèi of the group not far away.

"Let's go! What are you doing slowly, you still think you are a nobleman, if you fall behind, be careful of the whip of the master! The meaty-faced soldier raised the filthy whip the thickness of a baby's wrist in his hand and shouted viciously at a group of women walking by.

These women from old to young are all deficient, walking in the forefront is a fifty or sixty-year-old woman, the body of the Shoushan Fuhai pattern of Yunjin narrow jacket has been cut several times, has long been restored to the original luxury, the expression on the old woman's face is forbearant and numb, a messy silver wire hangs on the shoulder, making the wind more and more messy.

On the left and right of her was a young woman of about thirty years old, holding the old woman with her hands, and moving forward with difficulty, the two young women were also dressed as wolves, their clothes were messy, and they could hardly see the original pattern, and their red and swollen eyes and cheeks full of stains covered their usual beauty, and they did not seem to dare to cry, but could only cry silently, and occasionally let out a few whimperes.

Suddenly, the last girl of about ten years old in the group fainted straight to the ground, her pale face as if she had died.

"Get up for me, play dead!" The soldier's whip was thrown mercilessly on the little girl's body, and the little girl twitched slightly, but still did not respond.

"Stop! You still have no humanity, she's just a child, are you going to kill her!? The old woman who was at the forefront was furious because of the soldier's actions, and shouted hysterically, as if to vent all the suffering she had suffered today.

"Miss, woo, Miss, wake up, what's wrong with you, don't scare the slave!" A maid-like girl standing beside the little girl fell on top of her, crying out in dispossession.

The soldier didn't make any more moves, just spat rudely, looked at the old woman and sneered: "Old Madam Lu, don't forget your identity, you are just a prisoner now, but you are not qualified to be as arrogant as before, I killed this little girl today, what can you do to me." ”

Listening to the arrogant tone of the soldiers, the old woman who was called Mrs. Lu trembled with anger, and kept saying: "The tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs!" The tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs! ”

Although the soldier had never read a book, he could understand that Mrs. Lu was scolding him enough, his eyes widened, and he was about to have a seizure, but the little girl who was lying on her back on the ground unconscious coughed a few times, and then slowly opened her eyes.

What kind of eyes are they, as deep as a well, unable to see the bottom, as if all the despair and pain of the world are crumpled in it, as long as you touch it, there will be a catastrophe in an instant.

The maid kneeling beside the little girl was obviously frightened by her eyes, and stammered and asked, "Miss...... Miss, you're okay, don't scare the slaves......"

Miss? How long has it been since I've heard others call her like this, Lu Yanwan's mind stopped for a moment, she looked at the hazy sky overhead, and had an urge to laugh out loud, she thought she was dead, but she was alive again, and her body was still in pain, but compared to the pain that tore her body and mind before she died, what was this pain?

"Miss! Miss ...... "The noisy voice of the maid next to her still lingered in her ears, Lu Yanwan turned her head and looked at her numbly, a little familiar, but it was too long, she ...... I can't remember it, it seems to be called green seedlings or green grass?

"Smack!" Another crisp sound of the whip exploded in Lu Yanwan's ears, and his cheeks suddenly felt a hot pain, and Lu Yanwan, who was already extremely immune to the pain, didn't even move his eyebrows.

The soldier had already seen her wake up, so he walked up to her and scolded: "Since you are awake, don't continue to pretend to be dead for Lao Tzu, hurry up!" ”

Lu Yanwan was very aware of the times and got up with her hands and feet, the maid who was crying with pear blossoms and rain next to her tightly held her arm, compared to Lu Yanwan's expressionless face, people who didn't know the truth would definitely think that it was this crying maid who was about to get angry when she was whipped.

After this episode, the female dependents still struggled to move forward, and soon walked to the prison of the Criminal Department.

Walking through the gloomy and damp aisles, all the female dependents couldn't help but cry, for the desperate future they were about to usher in, making this dark and terrifying prison even more ghostly. Lu Yanwan's face still had no expression, if she hadn't endured it desperately, she would have almost laughed out loud, this nightmare of the previous life had become her dream of this life, if she hadn't lived those hellish lives, how could she feel that staying in such a cell was a kind of happiness.

Lu Xiwan walked at the end of the team, because she was the only concubine of the Lu family, Lu Chengwan's father Lu Chenghai used to be the squire of the military department of Zheng Sanpin, but he stood on the wrong team when he won the heir, and supported the five princes who seemed to be beautiful, but in the end, it was a bad move, so that the seven princes who had always been unknown seized the throne, and as soon as the new emperor Pu ascended the throne, he first dealt with the old department of their five princes, and overnight, the Lu family building that had been inherited for a hundred years collapsed, and the direct male of the Lu family survived except for a seventh young master Lu Qingcang who was studying abroad. The others have been beheaded, and the fate of their group of female dependents is not much better, if there is no one from their mother's family to ransom them, the younger ones may still be able to enter the workshop, and it is better to be a geisha than to be a cheap prostitute with a pair of jade arms and pillows, and the old and broken can only be sold to the brothel, and live a life that is worse than death.

Lu Huiwan walked leisurely at the end, as if he was strolling in the garden, in the dirty and damp cells on the left and right, there were constantly unkempt, and the prisoners who couldn't see clearly stretched out their hands like ghost claws, pulling the gorgeous dresses on the female dependents, and the female dependents in front of Lu Huiwan all let out frightened, hysterical screams, only she looked at this qiē coldly, her eyes flashed slightly, like a dormant young beast.

Finally the group walked to a vacant cell, the opposite cell has been held a group of female dependents similar to them, Lu Yanwan only glanced slightly, and saw a familiar face inside, eight or nine years old little girl, a small face is pale, the big wet eyes glow with extremely frightened light, although they are still young, but they are already quite graceful, that pitiful look and posture, people can't help but want to take it into their arms and cherish it.

Shi Jingyao, we met again, who would have thought that we would have the opportunity to meet again, she really wanted to chant loudly at this time, "Where do you not meet in life", in this life, she will repay this former "good sister" well, and it will not be in vain in her "kindness" in the previous life!

The Shi family is the former squire of the Ministry of Rites, and he is an ally of the Lu family, but now he can be said to be a difficult brother.

The soldier who escorted them all the way grinned at a jailer in the cell with a long knife on his waist and said, "There are a total of twenty-three people in the Lu family, all of them are here, there are a lot of good goods in it, and the brothers can have a good time at night!" ”

The jailer with the knife glanced at the female dependents behind the soldiers, narrowed his slightly bulging eyes, touched his chin with his right hand and smiled: "It's really good, but it's a pity that those masters and young ladies may have someone to redeem them when the time comes, as for the maids...... If you are young and not broken, don't move first, you can charge a good price when you sell it to Zuihualou, and as for those who are old, they will be distributed to the brothers to be happy first. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the jailers behind him erupted in a lewd laugh, full of excitement, and their wolf-like gaze swept over the women who were already trembling with fright.

The jailer with the knife ordered his subordinates to pull those maids and maids to the side compartment and detain them first, and the ladies suddenly let out a burst of screaming and crying, Lu Huanwan was in a daze, but he felt that his arm was suddenly grabbed by a strong force, and he frowned slightly, and saw the green seedling shouting at her with tears in her eyes: "Miss~~~~ Miss~~~~~ slave don't leave you, Miss~~~~"

Lu Yanwan just patted her hand very calmly and said, "It's okay, you can't die." ”

Qingmiao obviously didn't show that his young lady would react like this, and he was stunned, so he was broken off by Lu Yanwan and dragged away by a jailer.

Lu Yanwan said this to Qingmiao not to comfort her, but she remembered that this maid who used to say that she was very loyal to her later seemed to be saved by an official wife, and Lu Yanwan met her again a long time later, but that encounter was not so beautiful, so don't remember it.

Old Madam Lu and the personal maids and mothers-in-law beside the eldest lady and the second lady have also been taken away, and the three of them staggered into the cell by the jailers, their faces became more and more pale, and they were crumbling, as if they would faint at any time.

After entering the cell, Lu Huiwan had the leisure to examine her "former" relatives one by one.

The eldest lady Yao gritted her teeth and sorted out a fairly clean place with the second lady Li, spread the straw on it, helped the old lady Lu to sit down there, and said with sadness: "Auntie, bear with me, my father should send someone to redeem us soon, and then you won't have to suffer......

Yao is the niece of Mrs. Lu, the relationship between the two has always been close, and Yao's maiden family is not as noble as the Lu family, Yao's father is sixty years old, but he is still only a five-grade Dali Temple Shaoqing, a real idle job, but because of this, the Yao family was able to survive in this catastrophe.
