Peach Blossom listened to Xiao Ju's question, hesitated for a while, and then glanced at Xiao Ju with sympathy, which made Xiao Ju's heart rise a bad feeling. There was a kind of despair in his eyes looking at the peach blossoms.

Peach Blossom looked at Xiao Ju's eyes that suddenly became lifeless, because she was young, she didn't know what was going on, but she also knew that Xiao Ju was worried about her mother and brother. I didn't dare to hesitate now, and hurriedly said: "Xiaoju, don't worry, your mother and Zhuang Zhuang met at the entrance of your cave years ago, but I haven't seen you again. But listening to Hu Tian, it seems that it is because your father wants to sell your brother Zhuangzhuang, your mother refuses, in front of many people, your mother and your father fight, your father is angry, beat your mother, and then I heard that your mother is crazy, and ran away with Zhuangzhuang!"

Xiao Ju heard the news that Peach Blossom said, and only felt that the world was spinning for a while, no wonder Niang and Zhuang Zhuang didn't come to her, it turned out to be so. She couldn't hold back her tears anymore and just ran down her face. When Peach Blossom saw Xiaoju's pale face, tears flowed endlessly, and she looked like she was about to fall, and turned around and shouted into the house with some fear: "Mother, mother, come out quickly!" Xiaoju, she's not good!"

Peach Blossom Niang heard Peach Blossom's anxious and frightened voice, she had already hurried out, and when she saw Xiao Ju outside the courtyard wall, she didn't care about asking what was going on, so she hurriedly opened the courtyard door, helped Xiao Ju into her house, and lay down on the kang.

The peach blossom and peach blossom girl who have been looking at Xiaoju anxiously breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of my heart. As soon as Xiao Ju heard the news from Peach Blossom just now, she only felt like she was falling into an ice cave, so cold that she didn't feel anything. At this time, as soon as he warmed up, he was busy pulling Peach Blossom's hand and asked hurriedly: "At that time, my father was going to sell Zhuangzhuang, who knows?" Who else sees?"

"Xiaoju, I saw this with your own eyes with your Uncle Hu, because our family was also selling peach blossoms at that time! And Hu Tian's father and mother and the other people in Hu Zhuang who were preparing to sell people witnessed this scene with their own eyes." Peach Blossom Niang's tone was a little sad.

"But how could my mother be crazy? She doesn't agree to sell strong, but shouldn't she be crazy?" Xiao Ju asked. In her heart, she didn't understand that her mother could take Zhuang Zhuang and secretly go to the county seat to find her. How can you go crazy?

"We don't know! At that time, your father and your mother fought, and your father was really ruthless, no matter how thick your mother was, how could she beat a man? In addition, there were many people present in the village at that time, and your father may also be for his face.

I remember that your father slapped your mother to the ground, and when she landed, your mother's head just hit a big rock, and the scene at that time was chaotic enough, I only remember that your family climbed on your mother's body while crying and screaming for your mother, and your mother's head was constantly bleeding!

Now that I think about it, my heart is uncomfortable! Alas, women, in such a year of calamity, the most pitiful are us women and children!" Peach Blossom Lady sighed as she spoke.

"Hu Dazhuang, you are ruthless enough! I don't care that you have a million reasons, but you drove your crazy mother and wanted to sell your brother, these can't be forgiven!" Xiao Ju thought silently in her heart.

"Xiaoju, I can't blame your father, this person is going to starve to death, and selling it to other families can be regarded as a way to live! You've got to open something!" Peach Blossom Niang looked at Xiaoju's small body and after listening to her words, she couldn't stop shaking, and hurriedly comforted.

"How did my mother go crazy?" Xiao Ju didn't answer Peach Blossom Girl's words, but asked a little stubbornly.

"After your mother knocked unconscious, I carried your mother back to your house with Hu Tian's mother, and tried to help your mother stop the bleeding with soot from the place where the stone broke her head, but after your mother woke up, no one knew anyone except Zhuang Zhuang. Holding Zhuang Zhuang all day long and crying and laughing, no one can touch Zhuang Zhuang, whoever touches her will be crazy and desperate with that person. That's it, your father didn't sell Zhuangzhuang. Your mother is really a mother who protects calves!" Peach Blossom Lady sighed and said.

"Auntie, does this mean that my mother is not crazy?" Xiao Ju asked with hope in her eyes.

"I don't know, but think about it, if you don't go crazy, how can there be a normal person who goes out barefoot and in a torn jacket on a cold day?" Peach Blossom Lady looked at Xiao Ju with some sympathy and asked.

"Isn't my brother Zhuang Zhuang dressed like this? Then won't my mother and Zhuang Zhuang both suffer from frostbite? What did my dad do?" Xiao Ju's tears flowed out uncontrollably, and she almost gritted her teeth and said the last sentence.

"It's strange that your mother is wearing only a jacket, but she wraps your brother tightly. Maybe it's the nature of mother and child! Your dad? I don't know! In fact, your father is an honest man, but he is too filial, and I heard that selling strong and strong for food is also the idea of your grandparents! In fact, as a parent, when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, who is willing to sell their own flesh and blood?" Peach Blossom Lady thought of the pear blossoms that her family had been sold, and sighed helplessly.

"But I didn't see my mother and Zhuang Zhuang at my house today!" Xiao Ju looked at Peach Blossom Lady with some hesitation.

"Your father may have gone out to look for a job, but your mother has no one to guard, and nine times out of ten she may be holding Zhuang Zhuang and not knowing where to run! A few days ago, when I went to the back mountain to dig wild vegetables, I seemed to have seen your mother and Zhuangzhuang, both of whom were no longer human!

Your father is also pitiful, the daughter-in-law is crazy and can't take care of the house, and he has to go out to find a job, and when he comes back, he has to take care of your crazy mother and such a young brother, which is difficult enough!" Peach Blossom Niang actually said with sympathy Hu Daring, which made Xiaoju raise her head and look at Peach Blossom Niang with strange eyes, could it be that a woman in this era thinks that being beaten and sold or even eaten in the future is all natural and natural?

No wonder some people in later generations talked about women in the feudal era, mourning their misfortunes, and forgiving them! It turns out that the biggest misfortune of a woman, the most fundamental reason is because of her own indisputability!

But Xiaoju heard Peach Blossom Niang say that she had seen Niang and Zhuang Zhuang in the back mountain a few days ago, which means that Niang and Zhuang Zhuang are wandering around here, so she has to quickly look around, otherwise because of her late search, Niang and Zhuang Zhuang have an accident, wouldn't that make her hate for life?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ju hurriedly got up from the kang and put on her broken shoes and was about to walk out of the door. Peach Blossom Niang didn't know Xiao Ju's thoughts, and she didn't stop her, she originally wanted Peach Blossom to accompany Xiao Ju to look around, but before she could speak, Xiao Ju's girl had already run away.

She had no choice but to sigh and say, "Peach Blossom, wait until noon, you go to Xiaoju's house to see, did she find her mother and brother!" Q: Is there anything we can help with? ”

Peach Blossom said: "Mother, Xiaoju's mother and brother are so pitiful!" Now Xiaoju is so pitiful! ”

Peach Blossom Niang sighed: "In this disaster year, is there any family that has not sold their sons and daughters? Xiao Juniang just can't think about it, it's good now, a good home, all of them are scattered! Peach Blossom listened to her mother's words, although she didn't approve of it, but because of her young age, she didn't know how to refute it, but she went out of the room a little depressed, and still went to the yard to clean up those bitter vegetables.

Xiao Ju went out of the peach blossom house, and ran towards the back mountain that Peach Blossom Niang said, running all the way to erect her ears, listening to the little sounds around her ears, and her eyes were also searching around, in the back mountain that Peach Blossom Niang said, she searched several times, and she didn't see any trace of Niang and Zhuang Zhuang at all.

Xiao Ju simply searched around Huzhuang for several miles, but there was still no trace of Niang and Zhuangzhuang. Xiaoju's hopeful heart was hit again, where will Niang and Zhuang run away? I used to hear adults say that there are wolves infested in this back mountain, so it shouldn't be eaten by wolves, right? Thinking of this, Xiao Ju was worried, scared, and tired!

It's all audacious, my mother is crazy, and my younger brother is young, so I go out to look for a job regardless of it! It's okay to go out and look for a job, at least you have to bring your mother and Zhuangzhuang, right? This father, she won't recognize it anyway! This kind of heartless man, admitting it is simply a scourge to himself and his family! Xiao Ju thought about it while looking at the sun that was about to go down, and finally decided to have the courage to go into the depths of the back mountain to have a look.
