"Miss, Miss, the Chen family from Xiaogujia Village is here, saying that there are 100,000 urgent matters, go and take a look!" Xiaojuan ran in with a kitchen knife in her hand.

Qing Shu, who was writing a letter with a pen, looked up and saw the kitchen knife with a shredded sauerkraut in her hand, and was speechless for a while.

Xiaojuan couldn't do it in a hurry, "Miss, you'd better hurry up!" Listening to Chen's tone, it seemed to be a fatal thing. ”

As soon as she heard that it was a fatal thing, Qing Shu didn't have time to count her, so she quickly put down the ink-stained brush, and asked as she walked out, "What happened?" Panic like this. ”

Xiaojuan followed closely behind Qing Shu, "Specifically, the slave doesn't know." Su's mother was taking us to cut sauerkraut, and someone knocked on the door at the back door. Ding Jiabao went over to look, and brought in Chen Shi, who was anxious, and Gu Zhesi, who was crying tears and snot. When Chen saw me and Xiaoyu, he spoke incoherently, saying that he wanted to see Miss, what killed someone, what else did he want to sue Miss. ”

What a mess. Qing Shu frowned when he heard this, and then quickened his steps, "Where are the people now?" ”

"Mother Su took the person back to her house and said that she wanted to calm down Chen first."

By the time Qing Shu arrived, Chen had indeed calmed down a little and stopped talking incoherently. Gu Zhesi was pulled away by Xiaoya, Zhou Xing and Maizi to eat snacks, and he stopped crying.

Seeing Qing Shu, Chen hurriedly begged Qing Shu and asked Qing Shu to help find a life-saving doctor, saying that the second girl was seriously injured and was about to run out of gas. The Tzu Chi Pharmacy was not open today, and they had nowhere to find a doctor, so they put all their hopes on Qingshu.

Qing Shu didn't dare to be vague when he heard this, and ordered someone to hurry up to the carriage to invite Dr. Zhou, and then asked, "Where is the injured person?" She didn't know who the second girl was, because it was Chen who came to the door, thinking that she was a relative of Chen.

"In the back, I asked Ah Qin and them to wait outside the back door." Chen said in a hurry, even they were cold all the way, not to mention the injured and unconscious second girl.

"Outside the back door of our house?" Qing Shu asked.

"Yes, miss." Chan replied uneasily.

It was freezing on this day, Qingshu hurriedly asked Su's mother to arrange a subordinate room to come out, and asked Xiaojuan to send a message to Ding Jiabao to bring in the people outside the back door.

After this arrangement, Qing Shu had time to ask what was going on.

Chen then told the story from beginning to end. Things have to start from the first day of junior high school.

He from Dagujia Village went to the door of the third grandfather's house on the afternoon of the first day of the new year and scolded the eight generations of the third grandfather's family. Then, she ran to Xiaogujia Village, stood at the door of Gu Dashu's house, and scolded Gu Dashu's ancestors for eight generations. By the way, he also scolded Gu Dashu's niece Aqin, what a little slut, what a little prostitute, what an ugly scolding.

Gu Dashu is very respected in Xiaogujia Village. Now that Li is being scolded, the villagers of Xiaogujia Village have quit, and four or five sturdy women have come out and pushed and driven He out of the village.

This matter has passed in the past, and no one has paid attention to it, because the mixed name of the He family is not only today. However, something happened a few days later.

Early this morning, He took his granddaughter and second girl to Xiaogujia Village and scolded him at the door of Aqin's house. scolded Aqin for being shameless and indecent, he was a little slut, and he gave shoes to Gu Yuanhe without face and skin. also said that Gu Yuanhe is the man of the second girl, and if he can't run away, which shameless person dares to rob her second girl, she will scratch whose face.

Miss Aqin is not a vegetarian, she scolded He for being shameless and ignorant, and if there is a benefit, she will stick to the ancient mansion, and when there is no benefit, she pretends not to know, and she deserves that the ancient mansion does not have anything to do with her family. also shook her old bottom, saying how she abused her third daughter-in-law to death, and how she abused her granddaughter and second girl.

The second girl's face and hands were bruised, and anyone could see that she had been beaten.

He couldn't deny it, but he also confidently said that Erniu was her granddaughter, and she could fight if she wanted to, even if she killed anyone, she couldn't care about it.

Miss Ah Qin pointed at He's nose and scolded viciously, and sooner or later she would be punished.

He began to shout and snatch the ground, and grabbed the hair of the second girl and beat her head and face.

Ah Qin couldn't look at it, and stepped forward to pull away the second girl.

He took the opportunity to hit Ah Qin several times.

Ah Qin's mother is gentle and gentle on weekdays, but she is also strong for her mother. The men in the family were not there, and when she saw that her daughter was beaten, she went up and grabbed He's hair and wanted to tear He apart.

This was broken, and He's three daughters-in-law rushed up and surrounded Miss Aqin and her mother and scratched them. The women in Xiaogujia Village couldn't stand it, so they also started it, and the scene was chaotic at that time.

The second girl never fought back or scolded back, and it can be seen that Ah Qin's mother and daughter were beaten, as if they were a different person, they frantically kicked away Wu's family, protected Ah Qin tightly behind her, and almost bit off He's fingers, not to mention, and bit off a piece of flesh on Wu's wrist.

When Gu Dashu arrived, and Gu Hoe arrived with several sons and grandchildren, he pulled the red-eyed women away. And the flesh and blood on the second girl's face were blurred, and she couldn't see her original appearance for a long time, and she lost consciousness and fell to the ground like a rag doll.

Ah Qin, who was disheveled, sat on the ground, holding Erniu and crying Erniu's name, but Erniu didn't react at all.

A bold woman stepped forward to probe Erniu's snort, and immediately changed her complexion, saying that Erniu was dying, and she was about to run out of breath.

Gu Zhesan pulled the doctor from the village over, and the doctor stepped forward to check the pulse, shook his head, and said that he would either resign himself to fate, or take him to the Tzu Chi pharmacy in the town to see the doctor. Doctors in the countryside only know fur, they can't cure serious diseases, and if their character is not bad, they will say the same when they encounter serious diseases. The doctor diagnosed that the second girl had fainted and would not die immediately, but she was very weak and the granddaughter of the He family, so she didn't dare to touch her hands.

Gu Erfeng wanted to carry Erniu to the town to see the doctor.

He and Wu and others did not let it, and He said that Xiaogujia Village killed her granddaughter, so that she lost her life and made a fuss again. They are thieves crying out to catch thieves. Later, for some reason, the He family scolded Gu Ye and Gu Qingshu, saying that he wanted to sue their mother and daughter for disrespecting their ancestors and their mother and daughter for being unfilial, and shouted for Gu Hoe and several sons to hurry up to the yamen and inform their mother and daughter and Xiaogujia Village to the yamen lobby.

Gu Dashu and the new Li Zheng of Dagujia Village both stepped forward to persuade him, and the He family made more and more trouble.

It was originally a fight between women, but somehow after that, as they spoke, the men of the two villages blushed and quarreled with each other, and they were about to make a move. If there is a fight between the two villages, then it will be fine.

Gu Dashu can control the people in his own village, but Xinli in Dagujia Village is not familiar with the villagers, and he can't control it at all for a while.

The movement was so loud that the third grandfather asked his son to come over on his back, he counted the ancient hoe down, and persuaded the ancient hoe to send the second girl to see the doctor quickly. In this way, the battle between the two villages that was about to break out was finally quelled.

The ancient hoe drooped his head before and didn't squeak, and when he heard that he was sending the second girl to see the doctor, he quarreled with the third grandfather, saying that you are pretending to be a good person, your legs can be good, you can go to the ground, and you are not borrowing the light of the descendants of the old Gu family. He helped from the side, scolding Gu Qingshu's mother and daughter from head to toe, what elbows turned out, what brains couldn't distinguish between inside and outside, and some ugly swearing.

Later, Gu Dashu couldn't stand it, and signaled Gu Erfeng to take the opportunity to carry Erniu away. Gu Erfeng ran away with the help of A Qin on his back and the second girl. Ah Qin ran into the house and took his private room on weekdays, and ran behind.

Wu's sharp eyes saw it, and cried for his son to come back. There was another burst of chaos, stopping people, helping people, persuading, and somehow moving again.

Originally, the little guy Gu Zhesi stood far away, but in the chaos of Gu Erfeng rushing out with his cousin and the second girl on his back, he was swept into it at once. Chen was frightened and rushed into the crowd to protect his youngest son; Ah Qin tightly protected the unconscious second girl on Gu Erfeng's back. Gu Zheda and Gu Zheer also rushed in, protecting their mother and younger brother, as well as their cousin Aqin. The young people who were good with Gu Erfeng on the Peace Day of Xiaogujia Village also joined, trying their best to stop the people on Gu Hoe's side.

Gu Erfeng and the others finally rushed out of Xiaogujia Village. The niece was there, and Chen was not at ease, so he also took his youngest son out. Later, they took an ox cart from another village into the town and found the Tzu Chi Pharmacy. Unexpectedly, the doctor who sat in the hall did not come back until the eighth day of the new year, and the owner of the pharmacy who was originally temporarily in charge of the pharmacy went out yesterday and returned two days later, and they couldn't find the doctor at all.

Gu Erfeng and his party were in a hurry. Chen suddenly thought of Gufu, so he begged to come to the door, hoping that Qingshu could help find a doctor and save the second girl.

What is this called? Qing Shu immediately frowned. If she had known that Erniu was the granddaughter of the He family, she would not have been allowed to enter the mansion. It's not that she doesn't want to save people, but she can arrange people elsewhere. With He's kind of bastard temperament, let the second girl see the doctor in the house to recuperate, and she must not let He rely on it. Even a year doesn't make people stop and annoy.

As soon as the carriage of the ancient mansion passed, Dr. Zhou came with a medicine box on his back.

After checking the pulse, Dr. Zhou's eyebrows wrinkled, "Who is so vicious?" Actually tortured a girl like this. They will be unconscious, half of which is caused by serious injuries, and half of which is caused by not eating for two or three days. ”

Ah Qin has already wiped her face for the second girl, and the bruises on her face and the broken forehead can be seen as long as she is not blind.

Hearing the doctor's words, Gu Erfeng immediately lowered his head, squatted on the ground, and said nothing.

Ah Qin didn't care about tidying up her appearance, "Doctor, how is the second girl?" Her grandmother and her aunts beat her every day, and they worked all day long, and they didn't have enough to eat. She'll be fine, won't she? ”

Doctor Zhou's face sank, "You take off this girl's clothes and see where the injuries are serious, you can tell me if you look at it." With that, he took the medicine box and went out.

Xiaojuan asked Gu Erfeng to go out too, closed the door, and signaled that Ah Qin was okay.

Ah Qin trembled her hands and untied the clothes on Erniu's body. Xiaojuan saw that she was too slow, so she wanted to get started. Ah Qin blocked Xiaojuan's hand, "I, I'm coming, I have to take it off slowly, she has too many injuries on her body, and if she doesn't slow down, it will hurt her." ”

Xiao Juan looked suspicious, but when Ah Qin untied the second girl's clothes, Xiao Juan covered her mouth tightly.

There are two layers of clothes on the second girl's body, the outer layer is a white coarse cloth clothes with patches and washes, and the inner layer is a thin old cotton clothes that can't be thinner, and nothing else. In the cotton clothes, not only did there be no undergarment, but there was not even a belly pocket, and the bruised and purple body came out directly.

The sixteen-year-old girl, thin and not developing normally at all, had a clear rib cage. On the shoulders, chest, abdomen, and arms, there are either scarred wounds, or bruises, purples, and pinching marks.

Ah Qin wiped her tears, beckoned Xiaojuan for help, gently turned the second girl's body over, slowly pulled down the clothes on the second girl's back, and then gasped.

I saw that on the back of the second girl, from the left shoulder to the right waist, there were two long whip marks. The appearance of the skin and flesh, and the blood stains that dried up not long ago, proved that this was a new injury.

"He's an old calf, she's not human." Ah Qin cried and scolded.

Xiaojuan was stunned, and then began to regret it, regretting that she had acted too lightly on He that day.

Ah Qin dressed the second girl, followed Xiaojuan out, and told Dr. Zhou about the whip wound on the second girl's back.

Doctor Zhou pondered for a while, handed the prescription to Gu Erfeng, and instructed: "Boil a bowl of gruel, find a way to let the girl drink it, and cushion her stomach." The medicine went to the Tzu Chi pharmacy to catch it. ”

Gu Erfeng looked embarrassed, "Doctor, the door of the pharmacy is closed, this ......"

"You just knock on the door, and when the guy sees my words, he will naturally let you in and grab the medicine."

Gu Erfeng was relieved now, and he was going to grab the medicine.

Ah Qin stopped him, took out his purse, and poured out all the copper plates inside, "Take it." ”

Gu Erfeng then remembered that he had no money on him, and Ah Qin's private room was only about a hang, and whether it was enough to repay another question, he looked at Dr. Zhou and wanted to ask if these copper plates were enough to catch medicine.

Doctor Zhou sighed, the medicine he prescribed was naturally not something that could be caught back with a penny. He just wanted to take out the money bag, but Xiaojuan handed over a tael of silver to Gu Erfeng first, "I borrowed you from the house, remember to pay it back." ”

Gu Erfeng felt ashamed, took the silver, thanked him, and left with the prescription.

Doctor Zhou didn't leave, and went to talk to Gu Qiang. His son was still playing in the ancient mansion, and before going out, the Zhao family told him to wait for his son to play enough before going back together, so he was not in a hurry to leave.

Xiaojuan went to the front to talk back, and when she talked about the injuries on Erniu's body, even Chen was scared.

Qing Shu also listened to it and felt uncomfortable in her heart, and thought to herself: How can there be such a vicious grandmother in this world.

The kitchen boiled soft gruel, Ah Qin and Xiaojuan used chopsticks to pry open the mouth of the second girl, and poured the porridge into the second girl's mouth little by little. At first, it was very difficult, and how much to feed basically overflowed from the corners of her mouth, and then the second girl swallowed unconsciously, and then it became smooth.

There was warm porridge in the hungry stomach, and the second girl's body slowly warmed up. When she slowly opened her eyes, they were staring at the roof without focus.

Ah Qin whispered to her as she took a warm towel and covered her frostbitten and scarred hands.

The medicine that Gu Erfeng caught back was just boiled, and Ah Qin helped Erniu up and asked Erniu to drink the medicine. Xiaojuan immediately took out a piece of candy and stuffed it into the second girl's mouth.

A sweet smell spread in her mouth, and the tears of the second girl suddenly fell.

Ah Qin carefully avoided the wound on her face, and gently wiped her tears, "Don't cry, don't cry, good second girl don't cry, this is not a dream, it's real sugar, what you eat is real sugar." ”

Gu Erfeng, who was squatting under the window outside the house, had red eyes, wiped his face with his sleeve, and hesitantly glanced at Gu Yuanhe who stayed outside with him, and finally seemed to have made an important decision, stood up, and shouted Brother Yuanhe.

Gu Yuanhe: "Hmm. ”

Gu Erfeng felt that it was difficult to speak, but he had no other way to protect this girl now, and this was the only way he could think of. "Brother Yuanhe, this mansion is ...... Buy...... To buy or not to buy a maid? ”

Gu Yuanhe frowned, "What are you doing here?" ”

Gu Erfeng rubbed his hands, "I, I have to do work, I can't be at home every day, I can't protect Erniu." That, that, the second girl is alive now, but go back, I milk her......" He couldn't say anything, and squatted back on the ground in pain, "Go back, it's not that I was beaten to death by milk, but also the life of letting my milk take out and exchange for silver." That, Brother Yuanhe, if the kind-hearted young lady and young master are missing, you can say good things and buy the second girl. ”

Gu Yuanhe's face changed, "Nonsense." ”

"Brother Yuanhe, this is something that can't be done. The second girl is already sixteen, and sooner or later my grandmother will push the second girl into the fire pit and exchange it for silver flowers. I, I'm in charge, sell the second girl, and let her eat a full meal, and she doesn't have to be beaten. Brother Yuanhe, don't be angry, I sell the second girl, not for silver. That, the silver that the second girl saw the doctor take medicine was regarded as her body sale money. Look, can you help beg your master to accept the second girl? ”

Gu Yuanhe had to admit that what Gu Erfeng said was right. However, he snorted coldly, "Can you be the master of the second girl?" Your grandmother is not worry-free, if you come to the house and make the masters unhappy, your whole family will not end well. ”

Everyone has seen the fate of the former village chief and Li Zheng, and Gu Erfeng naturally knows that Gu Yuanhe is reminding him. "Brother Yuanhe, don't worry, I did the master's thing. I sold people, and my grandfather and my grandmother beat me a few times at most, and I didn't dare to come and make trouble. ”

Gu Yuanhe walked back and forth irritably, "You don't want to ask Erniu's wishes?" ”

"Brother, I'm ......" Gu Erfeng was asked.

The people in the room heard the conversation of the people outside the window clearly, and the second girl lying on her side struggled to get up, and her mouth was eager to read willing, willing, willing......

Ah Qin hurriedly held her down and didn't let her move.

Xiaojuan was a little at a loss, but she also said loudly: "She said yes." ”

Gu Erfeng and Gu Yuanhe both heard it.

Gu Yuanhe was stunned, and finally patted Gu Erfeng's shoulder, "You wait, don't get too hopeful." Then he left.

Gu Erfeng understands that which big family buys a maid without buying a maid who is in good health and good looking, how can he buy someone like Erniu who is injured and thin. He also has no way, if the second girl enters the ancient mansion, at least he will not be hungry and will not be beaten for no reason. In his opinion, the second girl is better than being a slave under his milk.

Gu Yuanhe first looked for Su's mother, and told Gu Erfeng's request and the meaning of Erniu.
