Chapter 111, Cooperation
Su Duo didn't force herself to understand, her heart was empty now, and she didn't know what to do, so she didn't care what the situation was now.
Daddy and mother are no longer there, she suddenly remembered the bag that her mother gave her on her birthday, she touched her body, the bag is still there, she is a little strange, she and Su Li's clothes have changed, but this bag is still there.
After Ah Ci left, Su Duo took out the bag and took out the contents of it, it was a small medicine bottle and a note, the paper was folded into a thousand paper cranes, and the tip of the mouth was a little red, Su Duo was sure that this bag had not been replaced, and a little red on the tip of the mouth of the thousand paper cranes was a unique way for his father, and the size and position of that little red were very particular, and others could not imitate it.
Su Duo opened the letter, but there were only a few words on the letter, and it was written that the medicine bottle was filled with Heart Devouring Gu and the effect of Heart Devouring Gu.
As for what to do, Su Duo read the note back and forth several times, but her father didn't tell her what to do next.
Su Duo sat on the edge of the bed with her head down, and Su Li was already awake, looking at her with her eyes open.
Su Duo frowned and asked, "Su Li, is there anything uncomfortable in your body?" ”
Su Li nodded, her expression still dumbfounded.
"Suri, do you still know who I am?"
"Sister." Su Li said, "Sister, don't we have a home?" ”
Su Duo gritted his teeth, sniffed and said, "Don't be afraid of Su Li, you still have me, I will protect you." ”
"Sister, that person killed our father, right? He killed the people in the stockade, right? Su Li's eyes widened, looking at Su Duo, Su Duo lowered her head and bit her lip, tears still fell involuntarily.
"Sister, let's take revenge!" Su Li suddenly grabbed Su Duo's arm, "Sister, let's find that person and kill him!" Avenge your father and the people in the village! ”
Su Duo will never forget that when the man killed his father that day, he didn't see the action of throwing the knife clearly at all, but just made a hand, and his father had already fallen to the ground and died, and his father didn't even say anything else to her.
"Suri ...... That guy is amazing. ”
"Sister, don't you want to avenge your father?" Su Li asked coldly.
"Of course I want to, but not now, Suri, we can't yet." Su Duo grabbed Su Li's hand in turn, "Su Li, okay if you wait?" Wait until we grow up. ”
Su Li nodded, Su Duo stroked her back and pressed her forehead against her forehead, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I will protect you, Su Li, my sister will protect you no matter what." ”
The door creaked open, Su Duo turned around, wiped the tears from his face, and walked in with him wearing a mask, and a fat woman followed behind him, shaking a Luo fan, smiling flatteringly.
"Master, you see that these two girls are still young, and two taels of silver are actually enough." The old bustard shook Luo Fan and said, the person behind him had already pulled out a knife and put it on her neck, and the old bustard was so frightened that the last word trembled a few times.
Qing Xuan turned to look at the old bustard, and he was still holding a silver dagger in his hand, the two blades of the dagger flashed with cold light, reflecting the old bustard's stunned face.
"Twenty, twenty!" The old bustard immediately raised the price tenfold.
Qing Xuan smiled coldly and said, "I don't want money." ”
"What?!" The old bustard was so shocked that his jaw was about to fall, how could anyone send a girl to a brothel for no money?
"I'll leave them with you, not only don't you need money, I'll give you money, you just have to watch them well." Qing Xuan said lightly, "I have a fake deed of sale here, and I don't actually need this thing, but it's okay to take this thing and disguise it." ”
The man behind took the knife and handed the old bustard a thin piece of paper.
The old bustard hurriedly took the piece of paper, swept it and nodded hurriedly, "The slave family will definitely take good care of them, you can rest assured." ”
Qing Xuan led the people away, Su Duo looked at the old bustard with a writhing look, the old bustard glanced at their sisters with the eyes of looking at the goods, and snorted coldly: "If it falls into my hands, it will naturally take good care of it." ”
The sisters were changed their names, Su Duo was replaced by Peony, Su Li was replaced by Xiao Tao, in order to protect Su Li, Su Duo asked her to pretend to be stupid, and the reason had already been thought of, when she was a child, she was sick, and her brain was not very good, so that the bustard would not let Su Li do anything more.
Ah Ci is very good to the two sisters, Su Duo is very grateful to her, but the more grateful, the more reluctant to tell her the truth of the matter, she doesn't know who the father and mother who have been living in the 80,000 mountains and the people in the village have offended, why they were slaughtered, and why the person let go of the two sisters, she wants to figure out these questions, but she doesn't dare to tell Ah Ci, for fear that she will be implicated.
After staying in Yihong Courtyard for less than half a year, Su Lingling came to take them away, and the old bustard handed over the fake deed of sale in order to protect himself.
"Little Peach, you don't want to be like this!" Peony trembled her hands and wanted to hug Xiao Tao, but Xiao Tao pushed her away.
"Sister Su saved us after all, how can you poison her?"
Xiao Tao snorted, "Didn't I let you pour it?" ”
Peony sighed, picked up the pot, and poured it into the waste water pool on the side.
"Xiao Tao, you tell my sister, who gave you that poison?"
"My mother-in-law gave it to me."
"Why does my mother-in-law use poison?" Peony couldn't help but be curious.
"Mother-in-law is amazing, she can not only make poison, but also refine incense, and her martial arts are also very powerful, last time a bad person wanted to bully her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law drove him away!" As soon as Xiao Tao talked about the mother-in-law, she couldn't help but dance with her eyebrows, "But my mother-in-law can't speak, but she can write, she told me that she will teach me martial arts, teach me to refine poison, teach me to make incense, sister, as long as I follow my mother-in-law, I will be able to avenge my father and mother in the future!" ”
Peony frowned and looked at her, she lifted the old woman very dangerously.
"Sister, you come with me, the two of us will study with your mother-in-law, you have always been likable, and your mother-in-law will definitely like you!" Xiao Tao grabbed Peony's hand, but Peony broke away, "Little Peach ......"
Xiao Tao's expression turned cold again, "Sister, are you used to being comfortable in the Hou Mansion, so you don't want to leave?" ”
"That's not the case...... Peony shook her head, "I always think that old woman is very dangerous, the last time you said that someone was going to kill that old woman, did you ever think that the old woman is a bad person?" ”
"How is that possible?" Xiao Tao argued, "The bad guys are the ones who killed our fathers and mothers, the old woman not only gave me money to buy food, but also took me in, and never did anything bad to me, how can she be a bad person?" ”
Peony didn't know how to tell Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao was too obsessed, and she wouldn't listen to how she persuaded her, so she could only follow and see it herself.
"Alright, I'll go with you to the old woman."
Xiao Tao immediately laughed when she heard this, and Peony uneasily straightened the broken hair around her ears, put the pot back on the stove, and said, "Wait until I cook a bowl of sobering soup for Sister Su first."
At midnight, two small figures appeared in the backyard of the Hou Mansion, although Xiao Tao did not stay in the Hou Mansion for a long time, but she understood the structure of the Hou Mansion better than Peony, she took the Peony out of the Hou Mansion smoothly, Xiao Tao pulled the Peony and ran wildly on the deserted street, Peony looked behind her from time to time worriedly, and no one caught up, she was determined in her heart, telling herself to protect Xiao Tao no matter what, even if she died.
Little Peach took her to a small alley, and there was a small dim light in the deepest part of the alley, and Little Peach pulled Peony and walked over, and Peony saw that there was a small shed in the deepest part of the alley.
Did Little Peach live here during this time?
"Mother-in-law, I'm back!" Xiao Tao shouted as she lifted the curtain, and there was a gray-haired and clumsy old woman sitting inside, Peony frowned, although the shed was small and simple, but it exuded an intoxicating fragrance.
"It's so fragrant......" Peony couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Xiao Tao pointed to the bottles and jars on the table and said, "These are all incense refined by my mother-in-law." ”
The mother-in-law turned her head to look at Peony, who was slightly startled by her eyes, how could an old man who looked seventy or eighty years old have such clear and translucent eyes?
"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law." Peony nodded to the old woman, and the sharpness in the old woman's eyes flashed, and she stood up with a smile and walked over on crutches, looking at Peony carefully.
Peony looked at her a little stiffly, and the old woman patted Peony's shoulder, looked at Xiao Tao again, stretched out her thumb and nodded repeatedly.
Xiao Tao took Peony's hand and said, "I knew that my sister would definitely be liked by my mother-in-law, my sister was born with a well-behaved appearance, and I guess I will fall out of favor when my sister comes!" ”
Peony couldn't help but have some heat in her eyes, Xiao Tao hadn't spoken like this for a long time, it seemed that she was living with this old woman during this time, and she was actually living very fast.
"Sister, are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat. Xiao Tao pulled Peony and sat down at the table, and Peony said, "I'm not hungry, it's so late, let's go to bed quickly." ”
Xiao Tao thought about it with a pout, and nodded, "It's okay, it's good that I can sleep with my sister again!" ”
There is no bed in this small shed, Xiao Tao usually sleeps with the old woman on the ground, Xiao Tao took out a quilt from the side and spread it out, enough to sleep three people.
Peony is not a squeamish person, but she can't fall asleep like this, the little peach next to her is already asleep, Peony sighed softly, turned over, and just saw the old woman's clear eyes, looking at her.
Peony was so frightened that she almost screamed, and the old woman stretched out her index finger and put it in front of her mouth.
Peony covered her mouth, frowned, and looked at her.
There was an unknown aroma wafting in the air, and Peony looked at the old woman like this, and I don't know how long it took, the old woman suddenly spoke: "Peony, are you willing to cooperate with me?" ”
Peony's eyes widened, "Can you speak?" ”
The old woman snorted, "Let's go out and talk." ”
