Shen Rui's arm was scorching pain, and he couldn't tremble when he endured his small body.

Hao Pozi's subordinates did not stop, and pinched the second handful, getting harder and harder.

Shen Rui scolded his mother in his heart, this old pious woman is too bad. How should I react? It seems that it is inconsistent with the owner's temperament to endure obediently, but if you want to make a fuss, who knows what dirty water is waiting for.

Shen Rui gritted his teeth with hatred, but he couldn't be indifferent, otherwise it would be fake, so he still closed his eyes, frowned, and moaned: "Mother, it hurts ......"

The poisonous hand on his arm finally stopped.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps, the sound of someone leaving.

Shen Rui still didn't open his eyes, continued to murmur "mother" twice, and fell asleep again.

The footsteps at the door started again, and after a while, it was completely silent.

Shen Rui still didn't open his eyes, and he didn't open his eyes until a quarter of an hour later, when the footsteps in the outhouse started again.

The lights had been lit in the room, and it was Liu Ya who came in, and when he saw Shen Rui waking up, he whispered: "The little maid is on night duty for the second brother, and the second brother wants to eat tea?" ”

Shen Rui slept for a while, thirsty in his mouth, so he nodded.

Liu Ya poured a cup of hot water, and took another cup, and the two cups were folded back and forth to let the hot water cool quickly.

Shen Rui had just finished sleeping, the pores on his body were dilated, and he felt more and more that the room was cold, and his body was cold, and he said when he saw this: "I want to drink hot, don't break it." ”

Liu Ya obediently stepped forward with a water cup and hesitated: "Second brother has to eat slowly, but it's hot......"

His tone was full of unease, and he treated Shen Rui as a child.

Shen Rui looked at the water glass, and when she stepped in, she leaned out and reached out to grab it.

He squinted at the hot temperature as it passed through the porcelain cup to his fingers.

Amitabha, what is the feeling of happiness, when it is cool and shady, it is a little hot, it is happiness. When he raised the glass of water and swallowed the slightly hot water, he couldn't help but shudder.

The body was already cold, the stomach was empty, and when a mouthful of hot water was poured down, it was about to boil.

Shen Rui handed the empty cup back to Liu Ya's hand, turned over and got out of bed, and walked to the door.

Liu Ya was a little puzzled and wanted to keep up, Shen Rui glanced at the unopened cover on the ground, and said, "You clean up the cover, I'll ...... More clothes ......"

There was no light outside, and Liu Ya was a little worried: "Lamp, the little maid will hold the lamp for the second brother......"

Shen Rui waved his hand and said, "No, I'll do it myself." ”

This room is very small, and it is only a few steps from the side of the bed to the door, and it is about a dozen square meters. Shen Rui fished out the lampstand by himself and went out to the outhouse. The outhouse was the same size as the inner room, except that there was no bed, only a table and a few square stools. The partition between the inside and outside is a hundred treasure grids, empty, old and dilapidated.

Shen Rui glanced back, and through the gap of Baibaoge, he could still see the shadow of willow buds. She didn't crouch down to clean up the bed, but stood still. It seems that he is listening to the movement outside, waiting to be called at any time.

A half-new red-lacquered toilet bowl is just under the Baibaoge.

Although I woke up for the past two days, I used this toilet, but it was all in front of Wang's mother, and my brain was not very clear. Now that he has changed to a little Lori, and he is in a completely sober state, Shen Rui can't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

But in the end, he was so panicked that he could only twitch the corners of his mouth and put the lampstand on the Baibao grid.

When the water falls into the empty toilet, the sound of "whooshing" is particularly loud, and the partial stomach joins in the fun, and the "gurgling" sounds.

Shen Rui didn't have the heart to think about whether it was obscene for him to release water in front of Xiao Lori a few steps away, rubbing his stomach and glancing out the window. The lights in the wing room had not been extinguished, and when I looked in the direction of the courtyard gate, it was pitch black.

An old mother, a shriveled little maid, and the seemingly unguarded courtyard gate, such a big temptation.

But even if he went out of the yard, who would he tell that this Lao'an person was deliberately hungry and froze himself, with bad intentions?

Who would believe it?

Even if he went out when he was looking for outsiders, crying and making trouble, and telling the truth, as long as the ruthless old man said, "The child is not sensible, and he doesn't know that he wants to be light and defeated in his illness, and he has to eat meat", and the big hat of "unfilial piety and stubbornness" really falls on him.

Although his body is not big, there is an old saying among the people that "three years old looks old", and it is a sensitive period such as a mother's funeral.

But obediently not making trouble, under such hunger and cold, how many days can this child's body last?

The sound of "whoosh" stopped, Shen Rui put on his pants and went back to the inner room with a candlestick.

Only then did Liu Ya lower her head and open her bed.

Shen Rui touched the two horns on his head, and then looked at the bun on Liu Ya's forehead, which looked somewhat similar at first glance. It's just that the horns on his head are small, and the bun on Liu Ya's head is slightly thicker.

Shen Rui walked in and said, "Liu Ya, do you listen to me?" ”

Liu Ya blinked her eyes and said innocently: "The second brother is the little master, and the little maid listens to the second brother." ”

Shen Rui nodded, pointed to the bun on her head and said, "I want to comb such a hair, such a big one." ”

In the past two days, Wang's mother had combed his hair, so he knew where the comb was, and pointed it out to Liu Ya.

Liu Ya was very supple, and did not question why Shen Rui had to comb his hair in the middle of the night, so she took the comb and honestly combed Shen Rui into two buns. I couldn't find the white head rope for a while, so I untied my head rope and tied it to Shen Rui.

After a while, Shen Rui's hair was loose, and it looked about the same size as Liu Ya's bun.

Shen Rui looked at the bronze mirror, the originally white and tender child, after a few days of suffering, quickly lost weight, his chin was pointed, and he combed this bun, looking like a little maid, but his complexion was too pale.

He stood up, walked to the charcoal basin in the corner of the house, grabbed a handful of charcoal ash, grinned and applied a few handfuls to his face, face and hands, and said, "Do you look like willow buds?" ”

Liu Ya couldn't dissuade her, looked at Shen Rui's dark little face, and laughed twice.

Shen Rui looked at Liu Ya twice, it was rare that the two of them were about the same height, pulled Liu Ya's sleeve, and said, "I haven't worn such clothes, let me wear them and play ......"

Liu Ya seemed to be struggling, but it could be seen that Shen Rui did not change his mouth as if he was determined, bit his lip, said "um", lowered his head and took off his coat, and served Shen Rui to put it on.

Shen Rui changed his coat, like a little maid, and smiled slightly: "Accompany me to play a trick first......

Liu Ya was still confused, Shen Rui had already taken out the straps on both sides of the bed curtain, looked at Liu Ya and said, "Let's make a game." You pretend to be an abducted brother, and I pretend to be an official to save you. ”

In Liu Ya's knowledge, there are only all kinds of housework, where do you know what games are not games.

It's just that I'm used to being honest, looking at Shen Rui with interest, let him fiddle with it.

After a while, Liu Ya was tied with her arms behind her back, her eyes were covered, and her mouth was strangled.

Shen Rui brought Liu Ya to the bed, asked her to lie down on the bed, and said, "This is a temple, you are hidden here, lying quietly." The official errand handles the case, the procedures are complicated, and it will take three watches in the middle of the night to dispatch, so you have to wait a while. ”

Although Liu Ya was a little frightened, she roughly understood what Shen Rui meant, and nodded in response.

After a long time, the sound of bangzi came from afar, and it was the second watch.

The room became more and more cold, Shen Rui pulled the quilt up, covered Liu Ya, put the curtain away, walked to the window and turned off the lights.

The door of the west chamber was pushed open, and a rare figure stood at the door. Seeing that the lights were turned off here, he turned back to the house, and the lights in the west chamber were also turned off.

The room was quite dark, with only a rough light.

Shen Rui looked down at the sackcloth on his body, fortunately it was only white in his teeth, not as dazzling as pure white, and it was now the beginning of the month, there was only a crescent moon in the sky, and the starlight was not clear, otherwise it would be too conspicuous to travel in this body. But if you don't wear it, it's hard to cover up when you meet people.

I can only wait for the dead of night.

Shen Rui relaxed his steps slightly, walked to the outer room, and sat down on the chair in the outer room.

Now, we have to wait.

Under the pressure of hunger and cold, time is extremely difficult.

Shen Rui touched the filial piety clothes on his body, and felt more and more strange. He is the mother of the family and gave birth to a son, and his identity as a filial son, even if he is "recuperating", he should have changed his filial piety clothes a long time ago, and he is still a filial piety. But when he woke up, he only had eighty percent of the new green silk underwear and blue satin jacket on his body, and no one changed his filial piety clothes.

If you dress up and go out, you don't need to say anything from Lao An, you will be charged with one more crime. refuses to mourn for his own mother, but it is not something that can be covered up by the words of a "stubborn child".

Surprised, Shen Rui was in a lot of energy. Is it that this patriarch is busy taking care of the funeral and neglecting the filial piety of the owner, or is there a heart to do so? If there is a heart, is it the old man who treats his flesh and blood harshly, or is the bad heart of "Erniang" fueling the troubles?

Time passed, and the back room was silent.

One watch finally got through, and when the sound of bangs came again, it was already three watches.

Shen Rui got up and tiptoed out of the house.

He walked to the window of the west wing first and listened quietly for a moment. There was the sound of Wang's mother snoring inside, and it seemed that she was asleep.

He didn't know the specific layout of this house, but he had the impression that there were many examples of ancient houses. The ancients also paid attention to feng shui, and the orientation of the kitchen and toilet was almost fixed.

Shen Rui's target is not the kitchen of this house, but the main courtyard of this house.

The main courtyard is the place where the housekeeper and mother live, the ancients paid attention to "the heir is the greatest", the husband and wife Dunlun is the right thing, the hot water before and after the Dunlun is inevitable, even if there is no small kitchen in the main courtyard, there is also a hot water room.

There is a hot water room, and it is common to brew tea soup or something.

Since it is the main courtyard, if there is no accident, it is mostly in the middle of the house, and the direction is there, so Shen Rui touched it.

Why is it pitch black here, Shen Rui stood at the gate of a courtyard on the middle road, surprised.

If it weren't for the fact that the main house was tall enough and the yard was big enough, he would almost suspect that he was in the wrong place.

Even in such a secluded small courtyard, because of Wang's mother's snoring, it has added popularity, why is this main courtyard so quiet, and there is no popularity at all. Even if Sun dies of illness, what about the servant woman who marries? If you can be the head of the house, shouldn't you have a rich dowry, and the people who accompany the marriage should also be men and women to meet the situation?
