As soon as they heard this, the women around them could no longer hold back and cried out.

The old woman looked at them, and with the help of the moonlight shining into the firewood room, stretched out her slightly trembling hand, and touched them one by one, and her heart was also full of mixed feelings, but she finally held back and did not shed tears. She knew that if she cried along, she was afraid that it would make them even more sad.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the firewood room, and then a woman shouted and scolded: "In the middle of the night, the third watch is crying and crying, do you want to find a fight?" ”

As soon as they heard this, the people in the firewood room hurriedly stopped crying and forcibly suppressed themselves from crying. When the footsteps from outside were gone, the old woman reached out and took a woman in front of her and said, "Child, you are a Jurchen, you could have avoided suffering like this. Today's days are getting more and more difficult, you better draw a line with our Liu family! ”

When the woman heard this, her face changed, and she quickly knelt down and said, "Mother-in-law, you don't need to say any more." Since the daughter-in-law married into the Liu family, she was born as a member of the Liu family, and died as a ghost of the Liu family, and there will never be any change. Besides, they don't let Yue'er go, even if I survive alone, what's the point? ”

"Mother......" Yue'er heard a mournful cry, threw herself into the woman's arms, and cried in a low voice.

When the old woman saw this, she sighed again and said, "This is all owed to you by Xingzuo!" ”

As she spoke, she reached out and stroked the back of her daughter-in-law's hand, turned her head to look at Yue'er and said, "If you can see your father alive one day, you must make it clear to your father that your mother is my Liu family and a good daughter-in-law of my Liu family!" ”

"Grandma......" Yue'er cried again when she heard this, and she also knew in her heart that grandma, mother, and aunts were all dizzy from hunger, but they were reluctant to eat and wanted to keep the food for themselves. If this continues, I'm afraid that within a day or two, there may be relatives who will be gone!

Thinking like this, her heart hurt even more, and she hugged her grandmother's leg again, crying and said, "Grandma, granddaughter knows that you miss them." You talked in your sleep last night, and your granddaughter heard it! The granddaughter doesn't want grandma to die, grandma drink porridge, granddaughter is not hungry! ”

When she was a child, she heard her father tell a story about how before a person was going to die, he would say what was buried in his heart. Grandma dreams of her father and them, I'm afraid it's ...... I'm afraid I know I can't get through it!

Hearing Yue'er's words, the women in the firewood room couldn't help it again and cried in a low voice.

In the past, they were also pampered women. But after the Liu Xingzuo brothers fled back to the Ming Dynasty, their lives plummeted, getting worse and worse, and they suffered even more later. But there are old women watching and cheering, they are like the backbone of the heart, gritting their teeth without shedding a tear.

But now, if nothing else, the old woman has to go first. After years of hard work, years of longing, I finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"You sluts, you are hungry enough to hate, and you still have the strength to cry!" Suddenly, a fierce woman's voice sounded outside, "Tomorrow I won't give anything, see if you still have the strength to cry!" ”

Hearing this, Yue'er's mother stumbled to the door of the firewood room and tried hard to pull the door, but because the door was locked, only a crack was opened. She didn't care, just lay on the side of the gap and begged: "Please, for my sake, let us go this time, we must not cry!" ”

I was already hungry like this, and if I didn't have anything to eat for the day tomorrow, I was afraid that the old woman would not be the only one in the firewood room.

The woman outside the door obviously recognized her and knew her origin, but at this time, she was disdainful and said with a mocking face: "For your sake? What are you? A cheap bone, if you don't enjoy a good blessing, if you marry a Han dog, you think you are also a Han dog, and you will always be a Han dog! ”

"Whatever you want, just bypass us this time, okay?" Yue'er's mother even said to the woman through the crack in the door, "I'm kowtowing to you here!" ”

"Hahaha...... "The grandmother couldn't help laughing, "who do you think you are, tell you, even if you die, no one will worry about it anymore." Kowtow? Please? Come on, kowtow a hundred heads first, and I'll spare you this time! ”

"Okay, okay, I'll kowtow right away!" When Yue'er's mother heard this, she hurriedly agreed.

But at this moment, the old woman's voice came, weak and firm: "Don't kowtow! Our Liu family is dead, it's nothing! ”

Even if she kowtows a hundred times, the wicked woman outside the door may not really agree, and it is not once or twice that she tortures people. And even if you let it go this time, you will definitely find an excuse to torture it next time, and instead of dying in humiliation, it is better to go like this!

"Yo, the Liu family is really hard-boned!" The woman outside the door said mockingly, "Could it be that you are still delusional, waiting for the day when those fugitive slaves will come back with someone to save you?" ”

"Hmph, you still won't bow your head!" The mother-in-law suddenly scolded as she spoke, "You dead old woman, the sons you gave birth to were all turtles, and they all shrank in the Ming Kingdom after escaping to the Ming Kingdom." If you want me to say, they must have forgotten about you, and you are still delusional! Maybe they're eating and drinking spicy food in Mingguo......"

The more she spoke, the more poisonous she became, and she made up her mind that she wanted to hit the confidence of these women and look at the desperate expressions of these women!

The women in the firewood room had stopped crying, and no one had anything to say. In fact, in their hearts, they never thought that the Liu brothers would really be able to lead the imperial army back one day. The only thing that sustained their faith was the old woman!

Hearing that there was silence in the firewood room, the more the woman outside the door scolded, the happier she became. But suddenly, she felt as if there was someone behind her, so she turned her head to look.

Unexpectedly, what she saw was a knife, and under the bright moonlight, the blade was directly on her neck. Behind the knife, a large crowd of people crowded into the courtyard.

Feeling the coldness on her neck, the woman was so frightened that she closed her mouth tightly and didn't dare to move, for fear that the blade would accidentally cut her neck. At the same time, she wondered, who are these people?

I saw that the person in the crowd went straight to the door of the firewood room, with excitement, his voice could even be heard, and he shouted with a little trembling: "Mother? ”

This voice, like spring thunder in winter, exploded in the hearts of the women in the firewood room. They were all stunned, suspecting that they had misheard.

"Mother, are you there?" Liu Xingzhi didn't hear the response, he was a little scared, and reached out to push the door, but found that the door was locked, so he asked through the door again.

He couldn't wait to answer again, and he didn't dare to slam the door for fear of scaring the people inside, so he immediately turned his head and ordered the woman: "Open the door!" ”
