Xudu Dongcheng, the late spring breeze is cool, there are not many pedestrians on the street, relative to the prosperity of the West Market, it seems very lonely and quiet here, a piece of gray houses are scattered here, it is obviously a gathering place for the poor. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 At the end of the alley, there is a broken low wall, inside the low wall is a small courtyard, there is only a dilapidated tiled house in the courtyard, the paint on the wood of the house has been mottled, and you can even clearly see the wood grain underneath, which is obviously a depressed family.

"Sister, you drink the medicine quickly, and then sleep for a while, I asked Lang Zhong, your broken calf bone can be recovered as long as you rest for a few months." A patched woman was laying a bowl of black potion on the low table next to the bed as she spoke.

On the bed made of several broken wooden boards, there was another woman lying at the moment, and only a thin layer of grass was covered on her, so that the temperature was difficult to maintain in the bed, making the lying woman's body tremble a little.

The woman on the bed glanced at the decoction on the low table, and instantly showed an angry look in her eyes, and said sadly in an instant: "Little sister, I really didn't seduce the head of the family, his main house is a shrew, where do I dare to provoke?" I was wronged. ”

After hearing this, the woman covered in patches nodded her head fiercely, and then sighed: "Sister, I naturally know that you didn't provoke the head of the family, but his main house wants to kill us all, and he has to use any tricks, that shrew is so ruthless this time, let the subordinate break your calf, I can't wait to eat her flesh and drink her blood." ”

After the woman covered in patches finished speaking, she sobbed quietly, and the desolate hut immediately became a sad scene, the two women were obviously sisters, and the eldest sister was broken at this moment, but they couldn't find a place to redress their grievances, so they could only endure it silently.

The eldest sister who was lying on the bed comforted the little sister who was crying for a while, and then looked at the black decoction and suddenly seemed to remember something, so she immediately asked: "Little sister, where did you get the money to buy medicine for treatment?" ”

When my sister heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she almost cried again, but she finally endured it, and then shook her head and said: "Sister, don't ask, even if you cure the disease, you will find someone to marry in the future, my brother-in-law died early, and he must not want to see you being bullied like this for the rest of your life, so find someone you can rely on and marry quickly." ”

The eldest sister was not diverted from the topic, and asked forcefully: "Have you already agreed to that Zhang Pi?" Promised to be his concubine? That's when I changed the money and came back to buy these decoctions? Say! Hurry up and give me an honest explanation. ”

My sister's suppressed tears were no longer uncontrollable, and they had rolled down her cheeks again, and she replied sadly after a long time: "What can I do if I don't do this?" Now there are only two of us left in the family, I don't take care of you, eldest sister, who else will take care of it, although that splash skin is not good, but he can always eat with him, I have food, naturally you will not be hungry, so I decided this matter myself. ”

"No! Now that our parents have passed away, naturally my eldest sister in the family has the final say, how can I marry you to that Zhang Popi to be a concubine, this thing is absolutely not good. As the eldest sister spoke, she was ready to struggle out of bed.

The younger sister panicked and immediately tried to stop it, but she hadn't eaten for a day, and where was the strength in her body, so she fell down softly in an instant, and plunged into the arms of the eldest sister.

I don't know how long time has passed, and suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard gate, and it seemed that many people were gathered outside the door, and the sound seemed very noisy.

The younger sister wiped her tears a little, then adjusted her mood, and then said: "Eldest sister, you lie down first, I'll go out and have a look, if it's a door-to-door conscription, we don't have to worry about anything, anyway, there are no men in our family for a long time." ”

The eldest sister was lying on the bed, just nodding with a dull gaze, although she couldn't accept letting her little sister marry that splash, but she also knew very well that only in this way could she let her beautiful little sister live.

The two of them were originally young ladies from large families in the city, but since the death of their parents, the people of the main family have been constantly making things difficult for their sisters, and in the past few years, their sisters have even lost the real estate that originally belonged to their father, and were driven to this shabby little broken courtyard.

In their memories, they once had a younger brother, but in those years the Xudu realm was too bitter, the consequences of the Yellow Turban Rebellion made the whole city starving, and finally the helpless parents made a difficult decision, let a capable veteran take away their only younger brother, at that time thought that only in this way could they save the life of their younger brother, but who would have thought that a monarch named Cao Cao came here, under his governance, Xudu was revitalized, and became the capital of today, and their sisters also survived, but the younger brother can never be seen again.

Every time she thinks of this, the eldest sister will recall the look of her parents, and the pain still makes her heart cut like a knife, and she can't forget it. And now the tragedy is still happening, she feels that she has also entered a dead end, but she has always been strong, and would rather be a lowly washerwoman than compromise, and has been gritting her teeth until now, but just a few days ago, the eldest lady of the main family deceived the door, insisting that she seduced the eldest woman's husband, so she shouted that she broke her calf and couldn't wash people's clothes anymore, and this day will come to an end.

"You're one of the Yuan sisters? What about your parents? A man's voice came from outside the door.

"My father and mother have passed away, and now only our sisters are left, is there anything wrong with the official?" Xiaomei's voice trembled a little.

"Huh?! Passed away? Oops, that's not going to be easy. Forget it, let me ask you a few questions, did you have a younger brother before? The man's voice asked.

"Yes, there is, but that was more than ten years ago, because of the food shortage, my parents gave it to an old Taoist apprentice in order to keep my younger brother alive, and my younger brother was just a baby at that time." The little sister's voice became smaller and quieter as she spoke.

"Ha, that's right, let me ask you one last question, what's your brother's name?" The man seemed pleased.

"It's called, it's called Yuan Yun, it's the name given by my father." After speaking, the little sister fell silent again.

"Haha, that's right, that's right, it's Brother Yun'er's family, I finally found it for us, you guys are really hard to find, you don't live in the Yuan family's compound, why did you come to such a broken yard to settle down, it's really ...... Uh, anyway, I'm here to run an outpost first, your brother is now back to Xudu, but he can't come over yet, he has to go to see my father-in-law's parents first, he can come back later, and then your family can be reunited. The man laughed and said, seemingly very excited and satisfied.

Before the little sister could answer, the man sighed again and said, "By the way, my name is Shi Shen, and I returned from Wancheng all the way this time, and I was mostly taken care of by Brother Yun, so I came to say hello in advance." ”

While speaking, Shi Shen seemed to have begun to say goodbye, and his mouth was still chattering: "Alas, I don't know what Brother Yun will think when he hears that his parents have passed away?" Must be sad to die, alas. ”

I don't know how long time passed, and the little sister returned to the house in a daze, and then glanced at the eldest sister, her eyes were full of doubts, and she didn't know what was going on? And her sister also has a general expression, she can't figure out what's going on, the only thing that can be understood is that the younger brother who gave it to Lao Dao seems to be back.
