When the sky is bright, the backyard of the windmill gambling house is already noisy, and the kitchen is steaming.

"Hey, hey, wake up, wake up." The thugs in the gambling hall came to the porch in twos and threes, and with sticks in their hands, they woke up everyone on the ground one by one.

Niu Er, who was lying on the bend with his dying breath, was naked, like a scrawny dead dog, and when the thugs passed by him, they all covered their noses and hurriedly jumped over.

They were disgusted with the smell of urine on him.

But in fact, in the second half of the night, Dingsheng and Juan'er had already fetched a few basins of water in the well to help him clean his head and face, and Dingsheng took off his coat and let Juan'er wash it and dry it on the trees in the courtyard to blow the wind.

Now the smell on his body is actually very light.

But the thugs hated him for being dirty, and thought he was about to die, so they didn't want to come closer, lest they get their bad luck on him.

"Hey, is he dead?" A thug just jumped over, stabilized his figure, looked back at Niu Er who was motionless on the ground, raised his chin to Dingsheng next to him, and asked with a wink.

"What is alive or dead, okay?" Juan'er was making a basin of water, wiping the blood on Dingsheng's head and face one by one. Dingsheng, who was leaning against the wall, stared at the thug coldly and replied angrily.

"Okay?" The thug glanced at Dingsheng, pouted his lips with a smirk, and then shook his head and walked away.

Juan'er rinsed her handkerchief in the basin, looked at Niu Er next to her, and said worriedly: "Brother Dingsheng, this, this brother...... It's, it's too thin, and those demons are so heavy. Even... I'm afraid it's ......."

"As long as there is one breath left, we will take him away...... If he stays here, he will surely die. ”

Dingsheng looked left and right, and seeing that no one was paying attention, he lowered his voice and said, "Juan'er, you must promise me, no matter where you are sent, you will definitely ...... Find a way to ...... To live, only if you live, I, I have hope. ”

"Brother Dingsheng, Brother Dingsheng, when you get to that mine, you have to be very careful."

Juan'er's eyes, which were already red and swollen, turned red again at this moment, and tears burst out of her eyes, "I heard people say that in the mine, they all go into the hole to work...... In the cave, there was poisonous gas everywhere, and there were two landslides in three days. This is not the most terrible, the most terrible, is those foremen, as long as you have the slightest disobedience to their wishes, it will attract a beating, many people are killed on the spot, some of the injured are not dead, even if you are covered in blood, you still have to go into the cave to work, if you refuse to do it, let a group of vicious dogs come out, bite people alive. ”

"I'll be careful, you don't have to worry......... The escort team who sent you this time was a member of my distant uncle's clan, and when I saw him go to the thatched house just now, I followed him and sent two pieces of ocean, and he said......"

Dingsheng looked left and right, and suppressed the voice so low and thin that only the two of them could hear it.

He said that this group of people was first sent to Xiangling, sold to the rejuvenation building, and then caged for a while, until they were tamed one by one, and then sent north...... It is said that the bustards over there have already arrived. ”

When Dingsheng said this, he paused, looked up at Juan'er's delicate face, and continued,

"When you get there, you have to pretend to obey them, I, I will get out as soon as possible and come to Xiangling to find you."

"Brother Dingsheng," Juan'er was shocked when she heard this, and was about to say something, when there was a commotion outside the corridor, and when she turned her head to look, she saw Le Wantong's son Le Bainian, who was coming in with the armor protection team proudly.

Dingsheng knew that they were all eating in the kitchen in the backyard of this gambling house. It's breakfast time.

Passing through the middle of the courtyard, the people of the Baojia team turned their eyes one after another, and two or three of them were neighbors from the same village as Dingsheng and Juan'er, and they all grew up together. At this time, the eyes of the two sides met, and Juan'er panicked for no reason, and her face was stunned.

The two team members were also stunned, obviously very surprised...... But for a moment, they stopped looking away, laughed and laughed casually, and continued to walk to the kitchen.

Juan'er had mixed feelings in her heart, turned her head to pick up the handkerchief in the basin, wrung it out, raised Dingsheng's hand, wiped the red and swollen place on his arm, and said softly, "Brother Dingsheng, don't always remember me......"

When Juan'er said this, she saw Niu Er next to her waking up and turning around, her eyes that were swollen like peaches opened a slit, her lips moved, and she muttered a plea: "Water, water......"

"Not dead. He's not dead. The two glanced at each other, their faces were full of surprise, and they sat up and went to check on Niu Er: "Brother, you are alive, alive...... Juan'er, hurry up to the kitchen to get some water and give him a drink. I...... I think this brother's life is very hard and hard, and since he can't die, he will definitely get better. Quick, go get some water. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away." Juan'er hurriedly put the handkerchief in the basin, washed it, wrung it out, then poured the water in the basin and hurried to the kitchen.

In the courtyard of the kitchen, the armor team was eating, and when they saw Juan'er coming in, most of the people's eyes fell on Juan'er, squeezing their eyebrows.

The two armor guards from the same village only lowered their heads and hurriedly picked up the rice, as if they didn't see her at all.

Juan'er's face was stunned, and her heart was mixed, so she hurriedly glanced at them, walked into the stove room quickly, begged for a bowl of hot water, and hurried out. Just as he was about to walk out of the kitchen yard, he was stopped by a person behind him: "Juan'er! ”

Turning around, I saw that it was Le Wantong's son Le Bainian, and I saw him put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, stood up, paced closer, looked at the water bowl in her hand, and asked with a smile:

"What's the matter, Dingsheng is so injured that he can't even walk? Alas, why do you only pour clean water? ”

Juan'er glanced at him expressionlessly and did not answer.

"Juan'er, alas, you said you...... How can such a girl family have such a gambling drunkard father, and they still take a fancy to the poor ghost in Dingsheng...... What is it good to say? Le Bainian shook his head, sighed, his eyes brushed, and he glanced up and down Juan'er unscrupulously.

Seeing that although her sideburns were messy and her face was covered with blood at this time, it was still difficult to hide her delicate face and fair complexion...... He couldn't help but laugh and said, "If I didn't have a tigress at home, I could save you...... Alas, it's too late to say anything now...... Alas, why did you only pour a bowl of clean water, how did this come about? There is porridge and nest heads in the stove room, and meat and vegetables,"

As he spoke, Le Bainian stretched out his hand, snatched the bowl in Juan'er's hand, splashed the water, and turned his head to the stove room, "Let's go, go and get two bowls, it's a long way to go...... How does this work? ”

Juan'er followed into the stove room, and Le Bainian asked the two old women who were cooking rice to make two bowls of porridge, made a plate of meat dishes, put them on the end plate, and handed them to Juan'er with both hands.

Juan'er picked up and left, and as soon as she walked to the door, Le Bainian's two arms came from behind her back, and she couldn't help but hold her, and arched her mouth to her neck while going up and down her hands.

If she wanted to put it aside in the past, Juan'er would definitely even cover his face with food, but today, she saw the injured Dingsheng brother and the dying rib essence in front of her eyes, she didn't dare to move, and after a while, she snorted and raised her voice: "Young master, can I go?" ”
