9. Missing

In the evening, Li Fengchao really came, he took a small bag and secretly stuffed it to Meng Yuchu, and said to her: "Sister Yuchu, it is cold at night in this mountain, and this shoulder is made of animal skins to keep out the cold, you must wear it if you don't dislike it, you must take care of yourself here, Master and Master are still looking forward to your return!" ”

Meng Yuchu nodded tearfully and took it, choked up and said to Li Fengchao: "Thank you, senior brother!" 'M afraid... There's no going back..."

If my father knew that he was willing to sell himself and go up the mountain to join the bandits, I am afraid that he would rather die than recognize himself again!

"My sister is too worried, no matter how much Master renews his name, he is also your father, and the father in the world doesn't love his children? Besides, you are also for the whole family...", but Li Fengchao's expression was still in a trance.

After settling down, Li Fengchao looked at Meng Yuchu again and said: "The most important thing for my sister now is to take care of herself and protect herself, so that she can plan for the future!" Of course, Meng Yuchu understood the meaning of these words.

Protect yourself... This is like a floating life, how can there be any "future" to talk about...

But he still tried to calm his mind, and calmly said to Li Fengchao: "Brother, don't worry, I will!" ”

Li Fengchao nodded, as if he thought about it for a while, and said to Meng Yuchu: "I will be your brother in the future, I will do my best to protect you, and my sister must tell me no matter what happens in the future!" ”

In order to repay the teachings of the teacher, I tried my best to protect the flesh and blood of the teacher, especially in this wild place, although no one knows what difficulties and dangers will be encountered in the future, but what should be done still has to be done!

"Thank you... Brother! Meng Yuchu was already in tears.

When she signed the document of selling her body, Meng Yuchu had silently decided not to let her father have any concern for her, so when she quietly put the money she got from selling her body next to her sleeping mother's bedside, she left a note: The world is difficult, it is difficult to live for peace, it is difficult to repay the breastfeeding, and the next life will be fed! He cut off a strand of green silk and put it on his father's desk, telling his father to repay them for their nurturing kindness in the next life. It is estimated that her father has now committed suicide thinking that she can't bear the current hard life.

And now she met her father's protΓ©gΓ© again, and ignited her extinguishing fire of life again, did her father save her again? Shouldn't she live well?!

Saying goodbye to Li Fengchao, Aunt Zhang took the two of them to Mrs. again, and sent some food and supplies to Mrs. This time Mrs. chatted with them a few more words, and rewarded each of them with a piece of clothing, so that they were more down-to-earth.

After helping Aunt Zhang finish her work, the two returned to the accommodation arranged for them. Although it is simple but complete, at least it will not be frozen in this mountain, and Aunt Zhang also burned a kang for them, and it was very warm to lie on it.

Although the wind outside was not strong, the paper on the window still blew, and the faint moonlight reflected the dappled shadows of the trees swaying on the window.

Although they tossed for a day, neither of them could sleep, and they both stared at the shadows of the trees on the window.

I remember that when I was at home, I had to say goodbye to my parents before going to bed every night, and I didn't know what happened to my mother in the past two days, and my father must have hidden her from my mother, but how long could my father hide it? Would her mother be heartbroken if she knew that her fate was uncertain? Mother, you must get better, father, you must cheer up, there is a younger brother to be raised...

Mother... Father.... Two lines of tears slipped from the corners of his eyes onto the pillow.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Mei Sheng asked

"Sister, I... I... A little homesick," Meng Yuchu said with a little choked up.

This was the first thing the two said to each other, from being tied to the carriage to being robbed up the mountain, the two of them were shocked and panicked by what was in front of them, so that they did not say a word.

"Sister, don't be sad" Mei Sheng didn't know how to comfort people, and after finishing speaking, he didn't know what to say and stopped talking.

After a pause, Mei Sheng asked again, "Are you really willing to sell yourself?" ”

Meng Yuchu paused and said, "Yes... I just want to raise some money for my family..."

Mei Sheng hesitated for a moment and said, "You are better than me, at least you have a home to think about, but I don't even have someone to think about." ”

"Sister, don't blame your parents, they can't help it." Meng Yuchu looked at Mei Sheng.

I don't know when Mei Sheng's face was also full of tears, she choked up and said: "I actually got married last year, but my brother and sister-in-law thought they couldn't get a dowry... Just sell me" Mei Sheng sighed heavily, and continued, "My mother died early, my father was timid, my brother treated me very well when he didn't get married, but since my sister-in-law entered the door, no matter how I looked at me, it didn't like me." Recently, the family ran out of food, and my sister-in-law came up with the idea to send me to a big family as a maid, in fact, I knew that I was going to sell me, my brother didn't say anything, my father would just hide in the house and sigh..."

Meng Yuchu looked at Mei Sheng fixedly, and stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from her face, but Mei Sheng turned his head and dodged Meng Yuchu's hand.

"Sister..."Now it's Meng Yuchu's turn to speak.

Mei Sheng turned his head at this time, with tears on his face and a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were very firm, and said: "Actually, I think it's good now, at least I'm not hungry here, and I'm still being looked at, I must make myself stronger, and I'll never be afraid of being bullied in the future..."

"Sister, it's going to get better, it's going to get better!" Meng Yuchu was also infected, and said with a pair of translucent eyes.

"By the way, sister, you are from a big family, you have to teach me in the future, I don't know a single big word."

Mei Sheng's serious expression also made Meng Yuchu laugh: "Sister, don't say anything about your background here, let's just help each other in the future!" ”

"Well, help each other!"

After a pause, Mei Sheng asked again, "Sister, your name is so nice, did your father give it to you?" ”

"Hmm" Meng Yuchu fell into memories and muttered: "At the beginning of people, nature is good. My father taught us that we should have good thoughts in our hearts, treat others with gentle words, and never forget our original intentions in everything. So I named Yu Chu, the eldest brother Yu Ming, so that he could remember his duty; The younger brother encouraged him to be diligent in encouragement. ”

"It's so good" Mei Sheng turned over and said, "It's good to read, and I know so many truths." My name is relatively simple, my mother gave birth to me just in time for the plum blossoms to bloom in winter, and my family name is Mei, so my grandfather called me Meisheng. ”

"Actually, your name is very good. Among the hundred flowers, only the plum blossom is the most fearless of the cold, and it still blooms in the middle of winter, and the pride of the body is independent of heaven and earth. Your family has Mei as its surname, and it should be that the ancestors hope that their children and grandchildren can be as tenacious as Mei! And life is the meaning of endless life, your grandfather must hope that you will be like plum blossoms, the more difficult it is, the more you have to bloom your own beauty! Meng Yuchu looked out the window and said.

"Well, when you say that, my name is really a good name!" Mei Sheng smiled, no one had ever told her so much about her name, she used to complain that her grandfather named her too casually, but now she knows how valuable her name is!

The wind outside was a little lighter, and the moon was obscured by a layer of dark clouds at this time, and the shadows of the trees on the window instantly dimmed, and the whole room also darkened, and the two girls stopped talking, thinking silently about their hearts, and after a while, only the sound of calm and even breathing remained, and they both fell asleep...
