Chapter 264: Calm the Hearts of the People
Xiao Shi looked at Xiao De, and the urgency was beyond words. "Husband, the slave family guards the virtue of the girl, and he will give birth to a fat boy soon."
Hearing this, his expression relaxed slightly. "Come here!" Xiao looked over there and sat down at the table, eating carefully.
At night, Shode closed the door and locked it hard. "It's the moment of the Spring Festival." He grinned, pressed Xiao hard, and the two of them lay down on the bed. Xiao De tossed with her for a long time, Xiao Shi just stood there like a piece of wood, no longer moving.
It's hard to put into words, but the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable it becomes. She folded the quilt gently and sighed. "Let's rest first, and come back tomorrow night."
Shaw looked at her like that, and suddenly became angry again. She walked back helplessly, was slapped in the face, and fell to the side.
The thick arm slapped her cheek heavily. While fanning, he scolded. "You woman is too presumptuous, you can't teach you a lesson."
She had now become a helpless puppet, numb to let him swing. I tossed for two hours in a row, but my head was sweating.
Shawd patted her body, sweating on her head, staring at her straight eyes, and scolded loudly. "That's it, leave me an incense too."
Xiao felt that his whole body was hollowed out, and the feeling of weakness and roughness was always stuck in his heart, lingering, like a soft thorn, bending against her body, a bent, frizzy pain. It's just that she has no way to go except to endure it silently.
After a few moments, he punched her the nose and vented his anger. "Get out of the way, I'm going to the Qinglou, be happy."
Xiao Shi covered his body, his body trembling and chilling. Xiao De grabbed the copper coin and silver in his hand, and slammed it shut the door.
"You wild woman, don't think about going out." He hung the railing heavily and locked it outside. Humming an out-of-tune song, he walked towards the Qinglou in the distance.
Xiao was stunned for a long time before running down. Looking at the brilliant lights in the distance, the beautiful Danfeng eyes, helplessly shed tears.
I don't know how long it took, but she was just about to go back, and she was hugged by a warm embrace. "Little sister, guess who I am, hehe."
Xiao's eyes were tightly covered. That smell is so familiar. It was a long time before she replied shyly and timidly.
"Maybe it's the same sir from last time." She was half expectant, half nervous, if her husband found out, she wouldn't be able to see anyone.
If it was really that person, neither of them spoke, hugged her, and when they arrived behind the rockery, there was a gentle and presumptuous lingering, and the two of them were happy.
The man smiled kindly and hugged her together. "I've always been uninhibited and uninhibited, don't worry about me, take this ingots and use them first."
As he spoke, the man stuffed her with a golden ingot. "That dog thing is not good for you, so you must keep a few eyes on it in the future."
Like a loving father, he comforted Xiao gently. The warm current in her heart, which she couldn't hold back any longer, kissed his neck heavily.
After a while, the man reluctantly left, and disappeared into the backyard. Xiao took a few steps forward, looking into the distance stupidly.
There was a lot of stuff mixed up in her mind. It's like a pot of porridge, all kinds of humiliation and happiness are kneaded together, and the mind is confused and distressed.
Before she could wake up from that hallucination, there was a heavy knock on the door. Xiao hurriedly grabbed the gold ingots and carefully stuffed them into the skirt.
Shawd walked in bulkyly, muttering. "You woman, how can you have fun and comfort with the flowers and plants outside."
Xiao smelled the smell of wine on his body, very foul and disgusting. I grabbed lice in my hand, put it in front of my nose and sniffed it, and chewed it with a mouthful.
She suppressed the disgust in her heart, took his arm, and kept going. "Husband, the slave family is going to serve the decanting soup."
Xiao ran quickly to the stove, but felt a strong push behind him. "You little, grandpa is not drunk."
She felt a lot of pain in her back, and she couldn't support it, and she almost fell to the stove. The left hand was burned with a hot bubble.
Her face was also covered with dirty ashes, choking her nose. She coughed heavily, then slowly stood up, and was slapped on the cheek again.
"Stop me." Shaw rode her and tossed for a while, crushing her body in great pain, before pulling up her skirt.
She let out a long sigh of helplessness. "Maybe that's my life." He served Xiao De with breakfast again, for fear that he would be angry again.
Shod muttered nasty words and went upstairs to sleep in a heavy voice. After a while, there was a heavy snoring sound from upstairs, like thunder.
Xiao hid in the boudoir alone, holding the gold ingot in his hand and looking at it. There was a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
"Maybe I can get out of here and leave him here alone, even though he saved my life, it's enough to serve him for so long."
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. "No matter, leave quickly, don't let him find out, otherwise I really won't be able to get out."
Xiao changed out of his skirt, put on a short dress, wrapped his beautiful hair, and dressed up as a man.
"If a woman dresses as a man, even her eyes can't find me." Thinking of this, Xiao Shi was also very happy in his heart and walked to the back garden.
It was a long time before she climbed over the wall next to her, and there was a lot of dirt stuck to her body. Outside is an alley that leads directly to the market.
She was holding the gold ingot in her hand, and she felt that if she wanted to get out, she had to exchange the gold ingot for copper coins, otherwise it would be very dangerous to meet bad people.
Xiao walked through the market for a long time, and his heart was never so happy and happy. "It would be nice to be with him."
She went to a pawnshop and deliberately made her voice hoarse. "Shopkeeper, exchange me for gold for copper coins, or break silver."
The old shopkeeper walked over slowly and looked at Xiao. "Little girl, you really know how to dress up, and you are almost old, and I don't even recognize you."
Hearing this, a cold sweat broke out on Xiao's head. I was stunned for a long time before I said perfunctorily. "The shopkeeper, the little woman is like this, and it is also taboo to be pranky."
The shopkeeper exchanged a few more words with Xiao Shi and exchanged the gold for broken silver. Xiao Shi looked around his eyes, as if he was thorned in his back.
"It seems that I really shouldn't have done this, if those people know, I won't be able to run far, and besides, people live for a lifetime, right?"
Thinking of this, Xiao Shi felt a pang of shame on his face. "I'm also sorry husband, these things are over, let's go home quickly."
She hurried back to the shop, where the customers who bought cloth were bustling, and several large carriages were parked on the side with cloth on the side.
Xiao De crossed his waist, holding an abacus in his hand, looked at her, and smiled at the corner of his mouth. "You little girl, I didn't expect to be so capable."
Xiao's legs were together, and he didn't know what to do. Shawd stepped forward, twisted her ears hard, and shouted.
"Help the uncle carry the cloth." Xiao Shi looked at the customers around him, and thought that he was a joke, and his expression was very complicated.
She carried the heavy cloth with both hands, and felt a sore pain, and her nails almost wore out. "I'm so tired, I didn't expect it to be so heavy."
It was a long time before they finished moving the cloth. Xiao's body was so tired that he almost hollowed out, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks, and the broken silver was scattered from his body.
Shodd narrowed his eyes, looked at the white silver, knelt down on his knees, and put the silver together, revealing a meaningful sneer.
"Cut the cotton silk over there." He pointed to the side with his finger outstretched. Xiao walked over quickly and picked up the sharp scissors.
The sharp blade almost hurt her fingers, and she stared nervously at the texture on it, her hands were very skillful, and with a few clicks, the cloth was neatly cut.
She looked at the cloth in her hand, it was so neat. "Husband, no matter how much work there is, the slave family will do it happily, and I dare not be sorry for my husband."
Shawd ordered her loudly to cut the cloth, and then asked her to hold the needle and thread, and put the cloth of different textures and patterns into neat sections.
"This woman is really ingenious." The customers on the side looked at the gorgeous cloth and admired it. The corners of Xiao's mouth also glowed with joy.
And the cloth was sold for a great deal of silver, and it went on for a long time, until it was dark, and the gate was slammed shut. Shawd looked at her with a hideous expression.
"You stinky bitch, why did you do such a thing, go out alone, and still have silver hidden in your hands, I'm afraid it's not for an adulterer?"
As he spoke, his fist slashed at Xiao Shi with his head covered his face. She felt a burst of blood spit out of her mouth, hugging the pillar, her body trembling.
"It's such an unscrupulous thing as you, the evil uncle is like this, if you dare to do this again, I will sell you to the remote desert."
Xiao endured such swearing and insults, closed his eyes tightly, and the pain and helplessness had been deeply reflected in his bone marrow.
"Husband, that's not the case." It's just that Xiao really can't explain the origin of those broken silver, and the more he talks about it, the more suspicious he becomes.
After a long time, Shawd pushed her aside and locked her directly in the cellar. "Just here to reflect happily and see where you are going."
Xiao Shi looked at the darkness around him and felt a sense of depression. The sound of rats running around was constant. She held her breath and walked forward.
I don't know how long I walked, but I found a bright light in front of me, and it turned out to be a small dirt slope. Curious, she leaned forward.
Her upper body passed through the gap, which turned out to be the end of the garden. But the waist was stuck, and he was in a dilemma for a while.
A cold wind blew on Xiao's face, and her lovely face was red from the cold. Feel that gap, the more you struggle, the tighter it gets.
"What to do?" Seeing the dark clouds drifting by, it rained heavily. A flash of lightning and thunder poured her head wet.
At that critical moment, a person suddenly walked over, and it was the familiar handsome face. With a flash in his hand, he pulled her out.
That handsome face, looking at her, although she had a lot of beard on her face, still couldn't stop the heroic spirit. "I didn't expect you to be like this."
Xiao couldn't hold it anymore, tears flowed out of his eyes, and he cried loudly. The man listened to her tell her what had happened, and comforted her gently and kindly.
"You don't have to worry about this, I'll come later, in this way, no matter what, there will always be a happy time in your heart."
Looking at the man's beautiful face, Xiao's heart moved, and he said in a heart. "Either way, the little girl will follow you."
The man smiled heartily. "That's right, I'm also a heroic person, born between officials and bandits, and I like a woman like you."
He put Xiao's body on his back and quickly climbed out of the courtyard wall. took out a flower cloth umbrella in his hand to shield her from the wind and rain.
Xiao just leaned on his body tightly, and the joy in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and he kept kissing the beard on his chin.
"Husband, the slave family will love you forever." Xiao Shi thought of the hateful Xiao De, gritted his teeth with hatred, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.
The man didn't say anything, just smiled. The two of them walked to the door of an inn with a bright red lantern in front of it, and it was lavishly decorated.
