Chapter Twenty-Eight: Peace and Joy, and a Smooth Life

The winter in northern Xinjiang is really cold, and the biting cold wind cuts the face like a knife.

In the winter, the Yanli people were ready to plunder in the city, but they were discovered by the soldiers stationed in front, fought a battle, and knocked them back.

When the eldest brother left, he said that he would catch a snow fox for me and make me a scarf from its skin, and he said that the snow fox's fur was the warmest.

I don't want a scarf, I want to keep the snow fox in the house, let it give birth to a lot of small snow foxes, so that I can have a snow fox big one.

I asked my dad when he would be back, and he said three or five days.

It's strange for adults to talk, three or five days? Is it three days or five days? Or three days plus five days?

My father was not at home, and the second brother and the third brother and I were sent to Master Xi's house by You Lu.

I was very resistant inside.

Because the teacher looks down on people too much.

He taught the second and third brothers the art of war, and also taught them kung fu, but when he came to me, he said, "Miss only needs to learn light skills." ”

I asked him why, and he said that no matter how strong the female baby's martial arts are, the difference in strength between the female child and the man is still too great, so when there is danger, let the brothers resist the injury, I just have to run away to save my life.

This is not in line with the patriotic concept of my family for generations, loyalty, goodness, protection of the family and defense of the country, and the return of death.

I complained to my father, and my father actually breathed out with him in one nostril, saying that life is only once, and you must not be competitive.

I blame my dad for being biased, why all my teaching content is the opposite of my brothers.

Daddy said it was because I was a girl and I was born to be cared for.

Forehead...... This is one of my worries.

It has been more than four years since we moved from the imperial capital to the Northland, and there are only my father and three elder brothers in the family, as well as You Lu and a few nursing homes, and there are some generals who come in and out of the house every day, except for the cook lady, there is no woman.

I didn't like the cook very much, because she always wouldn't let me eat candy, saying that my teeth would break out; He also didn't let me eat fish roe, saying that he would be stupid; He didn't let me climb the tree, saying that he would break his arm; She also forbade me to play with Peach Blossom, saying that Peach Blossom would hurt me if it wasn't light or heavy......

In short, it's just that this is not allowed and that is not allowed, it is really annoying.

I told my third brother that I was the only girl in the house, and I felt depressed.

Well, depression, a word that the Northland military division has recently taught us, says that it sums up the winter scene in the Northland just right.

I think it also describes my state of mind appropriately.

The third brother was very worried, went to his father's study to read a few books, and was pleased to find that there was a method called palace punishment that could make him become a woman, and he swore that I would wait for him to become a woman, so that I would not feel depressed.

He went to the second brother for help, and the second brother gave him a strange look, saying that he was incompetent and powerless, and asked him to go to his father.

The third brother went to his father again with joy, and his father whipped him with a small strip.

Until my father took my eldest brother to the barracks, the third brother ignored him, but after they left, I saw the third brother standing at the door for a long time.

My third brother is just too tsundere.

The third brother and I took advantage of the opportunity to teach the second brother a lesson and sneaked out of the house.

The day before, when I was playing hide and seek with my third brother, I heard You Lu say to the cook: "I heard that a new candied fruit shop has opened in the city. ”

The cook said, "No! Miss is gluttonous, eating too much is not good for your teeth. ”

You Lu hesitated: "Don't worry if you buy less." ”

The cook said: "Miss's teeth are just changed, if the teeth are eaten badly, who else is willing to want her." ”

You Lu was moved by her: "Then don't buy it." ”

She said: "Don't let Master Hou know, he doesn't have a lot of money to spend, and he must buy a lot." ”

Hum! I think the worst person is her.

My third brother and I searched on the street for a long time but couldn't find the candied fruit shop, and the two of us were tired and hungry, so we could only buy two meat buns to nibble.

I was munching on my joy when a girl half a head taller than me stood in front of me.

In the dripping and icy weather, she was only wearing a thin spring coat with patches, her feet were not wearing shoes, and her feet were swollen bigger than steamed buns.

She's so thin, so thin that you can only notice two bulging eyes.

She looked at my bun and swallowed.

I handed her the buns: "Do you eat them?" ”

She was a little timid, and her eyes lit up and said, "Really give it to me?" ”

I nodded, and the third brother's brows furrowed, but he didn't speak.

She stretched out her twig-like hand and took the bun to her mouth, and just as she was about to bite it, she carefully wrapped it in her tattered clothes.

She smiled sweetly at me, "Miss, thank you." ”

The third brother asked her, "Why don't you eat it?" ”

"I'm going to leave it for my brother, who hasn't eaten for days," she said. ”

I said, "No food?" Then you can give him meat. ”

The third brother looked at me with a surprised face, and the girl also looked at me, but her eyes were full of sadness, and she said, "Miss, we have no meat to eat, no food, we have nothing." ”

After a while she said, "But it's okay, it's right away." ”

I asked her why.

She said: "My father is going to sell me to the kiln, and in exchange for the money, he can buy food for my brother." ”

The third brother jumped up in shock, and he said with anger on his face: "Sell you to the kiln? Your own dad?! ”

Looking at him like that, I guess the kiln is not a good place.

At this moment, a scrawny man came over and said to the girl in a vicious voice: "What are you doing here to die, quickly!" Let's go! Come with me and negotiate the price! ”

He shoved her, and the bun rolled to the ground with my teeth marks on it.

The man picked up the bun and took a bite and said, "Little hooves!" Dare to hide food! ”

The girl tugged at his arm and cried, "That's for the big tiger!" Give it back! ”

The man raised his hand and slapped her, knocking her to the ground, the corners of her mouth were bleeding, and he ate the buns indifferently and said: "He's dying what's the use of eating, it's better to leave it to your father and me!" ”

I was so frightened that I burst into tears.

The third brother walked over and said coldly: "That bun was given to her by my sister, not for you." ”

The man looked at me and the third brother with terrifying eyes, just like looking at two commodities, and he laughed: "These two little dolls are a hundred times more handsome than you, it seems that I am going to make a fortune today!" ”

After saying that, he was about to come and catch us, and when he saw that his hand was about to catch me, the girl had the strength to pounce on him and bite him so hard that he bit off a piece of meat!

The man was in pain and began to beat her to death, and she hugged his leg and cried out heartbreakingly, "Miss! Run......"

I opened my eyes, my head was splitting, I rubbed my head and said, "Gentle and soft, I want to drink water......"

Father, eldest brother, sister-in-law, third brother, and Mo Qingran all looked at me worriedly, but they didn't see Qianrou.

Oh, Asarou is dead.

My sister-in-law handed me a glass of water, but I couldn't drink it, so I said to my third brother, "I'm dreaming." ”

The third brother said softly: "What did you dream about?" ”

"I dreamed that the first time I saw Asamu, she said that her brother hadn't eaten for a few days, and I asked her why she didn't give him meat." I saw tears dripping into the teacup, causing a ripple, "Third brother, I'm really stupid." ”

The third brother did not speak.

Daddy said distressedly: "Ah Mo, don't be sad, you haven't treated that girl badly over the years." ”

Asa Rou was not later sold to the kiln. Seeing that my third brother and I were gone, Mr. Jiaoxi took the guards of the palace to the city to find us, so he bought Qianrou and brought it back to the mansion.

Since then, there have been two girls in the house, and I am very happy that someone has slept with me at night.

But the cook forbade Qianrou to sleep with me, saying that I was a young lady and that she was a maid, and there was a difference between dignity and inferiority.

Qianrou's younger brother soon died of illness, and her father gambled all day long to ask her for money, and one day was beaten to death by a creditor.

Qianrou went back to collect his body, and when she came back, she knelt in front of me with tears on her face and said, "Miss, Qianrou has no home, and the Hou Mansion will be Qianrou's home in the future." ”

Qianrou is not a maid, she is a family.

My sister-in-law handed me a box and said, "This is for you by Qianrou." ”

It was an ordinary jewelry box, and when I opened it, I saw a letterhead with soft words on it, which were crooked and particularly ugly: May Miss, be safe and happy, and have a smooth life.

Underneath the letterhead is the pair of earrings I bought on the street last time.

It cost her two taels of silver, fake earrings.

It turned out that she bought it for me.

My tears welled up again.

"Master Hou," You Lu reported outside the door, "someone from Jingzhao Mansion came, saying that he wanted to see the scene of the crime, and asked Miss if she was awake, if she was awake, she wanted to ask a few words." ”

Daddy's brows furrowed into Sichuan characters, and he said unhappily: "Miss is unwell, and it is inconvenient to meet guests." ”

I wiped a handful of tears and said, "Daddy, let me go, after all, Qianrou died for me." ”

When everyone heard this, their faces were as cold as ice, yes, if I hadn't secretly left the house, if I hadn't let Qianrou wear my clothes, the person who killed with a sword would have been me.

Mo Qingran said with a cold face: "You don't have to be happy and sad, the toxin that was just suppressed has dispersed again." ”
