It is recorded in the Zhu family tree that the grandmother of the third uncle of the Zhu family is the eldest daughter of the local Cai gentry in Bacheng. The old people who knew the real situation knew that Cai Shishen was desperate and had no choice but to give his daughter to Zhu Dayan.

It is precisely because of the hardships that the grandmother has lived since she was a child, and she vows not to let herself live a hard life again, so everything in her life is the best, and when she comes and goes, the slaves and maids who have been by the grandmother's side for a long time have also developed some habits, such as bullying.

In fact, there is nothing too excessive, but it will throw some difficult to do, not easy to do, time-consuming, especially the work that I don't want to do to the new girl, Xiaoju is the unlucky girl, although her name is Xiaoju, in fact, the figure is not "small" at all, the archipelago people of this era are probably the cause of malnutrition, and the development is not good, but Xiaoju is also a character who is not willing to live a hard life, and after entering the Zhu family, he has eaten himself fat.

Xiaoju's big figure is very unpopular with her grandmother, so the dirtiest and most tiring work has naturally become her full-time.

The grandmother has been unwell recently, and she has a carbuncle on her back, which was not a big deal, but by chance the carbuncle has not been good after the carbuncle became pus and burst, and she invited a famous doctor, named Su Jicai, Mr. Su has some ability, shook his head and said a lot of "hot air is better than cold", and he prescribed a prescription casually, and a few pairs of medicines went down, and he saw a good thing. It's just that the work of this decoction naturally fell on Xiao Ju.

Xiaoju was reluctant, but helpless. Others have their own command, and they are the commander of the light pole.

Mr. Su prescribes a loose prescription, and needs to cut individual medicinal materials every day, and this medicine will naturally be packed in bulk and weighed in turn, because the grandmother thinks that the taste of the medicine is too strong, Xiaoju had to move the medicine stove outside the yard, make a fire, and helplessly pick and choose among the medicinal materials, more or less, and complain unwillingly.

The boy entered the courtyard with his clothes in his hand, only to see Xiao Ju, he didn't know who to give the clothes to, and called "sister" timidly.

"Put your clothes there!" Xiao Ju Nu pointed to her side and said with disdain, even if she is a slave and maid, in her opinion, it is a heaven and a place, and she can't talk to an inferior cub more.

"Oh." The boy obediently agreed, the boy looked around, he didn't know where Xiao Ju said "there", he saw a dustpan next to Xiao Ju, the dustpan was quite clean, the boy put down his clothes, turned around and was about to leave.

"Stop!" Xiao Ju picked up the medicine dustpan angrily, and put her clothes in it properly, "Who told you to put it in here?" Are you blind? ”

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! The boy was startled, took two steps back, hung his head and hands, and a few tears welled up in his eyes.

Looking at the boy's submissive appearance, Xiao Ju suddenly had an idea, such an obedient helper, no need to be in vain, she rolled her eyes and shouted: "If you stain grandma's clothes, you will be punished!" ”

"I ...... I ...... "The boy didn't know what Xiaoju was going to punish him, and he was a little scared."

Xiao Ju had a little smugness on her face, put down the medicine dustpan, and beckoned to the boy: "Come here." ”

Xiao Ju pressed the boy onto a small wooden stool, put all the loose medicinal herbs in front of the boy, but he moved over a reclining chair and a few packs of candied snacks, and lay down comfortably, while directing the boy to work, while holding the candied snacks.

The boy breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't beaten or starved, it was acceptable to do a little more work.

"Forsythia costs two dollars ......"

"You don't recognize Forsythia? The one over there...... Stupid. ”

"The soaphorn thorn only costs one penny, what are you taking so much for? Will you measure? Will it be a volume? Little idiot! ”

"Mang's ...... for a penny"

"Ephedra a penny ......"

"Honeysuckle is a penny and a penny is ......"

"Smallpox Pollen ......"

"What are you doing?" Xiao Ju was chewing candied fruit dictating the ingredients of the medicinal herbs, but there was no sound next to her, she looked back, the boy was holding a honeysuckle in his hand in a daze, she took off her cloth shoes angrily, beat the boy hard, and kept scolding: "Call you lazy!" Call you lazy! ”

The boy was in pain, but he didn't have time to dodge, and then he wanted to get up and run away, his arm had been firmly pinched by Xiaoju, and he had to bear it alive, his little body kept writhing, and he cried aggrievedly. When he saw the honeysuckle just now, a picture appeared in his mind, and if he didn't look carefully, it seemed to be his own pair of shoes, and he was thinking hard about it, but it attracted this good fight.

Xiao Ju hit until her hands were tired, so she let go of the boy and continued to coax: "You stained grandma's clothes, and it is light to punish you for working!" If you are still not honest and continue to be lazy, I will report to my grandmother. Grandma doesn't have the kindness I have, so she will pull you out and light the sky lantern! ”

The boy suddenly remembered his sister who didn't talk that day, he was so frightened that he stopped crying, hurriedly continued to work, grabbed Xiaoju's cuffs with one hand, and pleaded weakly: "Sister, don't tell grandma, I will work hard......"

Xiao Ju clapped her hands with satisfaction, as if she had a sense of accomplishment in bluffing the little boy with a few words.

The boy didn't dare to wander anymore.

After Xiao Ju instructed him to pick and weigh the medicinal materials in proportion, he instructed the boy to take an urn of rice wine and an urn of clear water, and a piece of wine and water to boil them into a bowl on the medicine stove, until the boy was exhausted.

She picked up the medicinal soup that had been boiled for two hours to become a bowl, and said to the boy, "Clean up and get out!" Today I have gone around you! After saying that, he walked a few steps, and suddenly turned around and said, "No!" Stained grandma's clothes, don't think it's that simple, you'll have to come tomorrow. Only then did he proudly sell the medicine to the eldest grandmother.

The boy came out of the grandmother's yard exhausted, and his stomach grumbled with hunger when he missed his meal. However, with Baya's temper, he naturally can't eat.

The grandmother's courtyard is to the west, and at this time it is already dark, the sunset is about to sink, and the shadows on the road are long.

The little boy turned the corner, and came to the vicinity of the small building, and suddenly a crow crow sounded in the sky, and the boy seemed to see something he didn't want to see, and the picture flashed in his mind that made him afraid, the boy covered his ears with both hands, closed his eyes tightly, gritted his teeth, and simply ran on the road.

Suddenly, his feet lifted off the ground, the back of his neck tightened, and the boy was so frightened that he hurriedly opened his eyes, and saw the cruel smile on Jia San's face, and he had already lifted it in his hand.

"Let go of me, bastard!" The boy suddenly felt a cloud of anger in his heart, and he scolded as soon as he opened his mouth, and he was stunned after scolding, as if this sentence was not scolded by himself at all.

Jia San was startled at first, then looked at it, and laughed and said, "Little thing, you still want to fool me!" Now the little master of the sixth room has been locked up in the firewood room by the old lady, and he hasn't been released for more than half a month! If the third brother wants to kill you now, it is no different from pinching an ant to death, who else can save you? ”

The boy didn't know this Steward A, and he didn't know where to offend him, for most of the month, Jiasan instigated Baya to bully and scold him all day long, he didn't understand, and cried urgently: "You...... You let go of me, and I don't recognize you......"

Jia San thought that the boy would use some kind of tricks, but at that time he was more interested in torturing himself, and he chuckled in surprise: "Ho! Is this still the little Liu brother in our sixth room? Why is the white flag erected today? ”

"Please let me go! Please......" The boy was carried in the air, and he had long since stopped crying.

Jia San seemed to be disappointed, and laughed: "The third brother hasn't played enough!" You admit it so quickly, the third brother is not fun! Raising his eyes to see the small building where the second master lived, he remembered the appearance of seeing the boy at noon, and thought that the children were afraid of ghosts, and the second master had just died, thinking that this little cub was afraid, and suddenly had a vicious thought, bowed his head and said to the boy face to face: "The third brother is happy today, don't beat you, don't scold you, play a fresh game with you." After that, seeing that no one was passing by, he threw the boy on the ground and dragged him to Hanbi Garden.

The boy trembled with fright and stammered, "Rao...... Spare ...... I...... Let's do it! ”

Seeing the boy's expression, Jia San laughed excitedly, and without letting go, he dragged himself into the yard.

The boy hooked the courtyard door with his foot, Jia Sanyi forced, the boy's whole body stretched into a "one" word, Jia San dragged it several times without moving, raised his leg and kicked the boy's calf, the boy's foot was out of the courtyard door, and he could no longer hook anything.

Jiasan excitedly dragged the boy up the stairs and kicked open the door of the original second master's residence, the boy hugged the stairs and didn't let go, Jiasan laughed, slashed the back of the boy's neck, and the boy's whole body softened.

The blood stains had been wiped dry, the screen that had fallen to the ground was badly damaged and thrown away by the fourth grandmother's speech, and now the whole room was empty except for the coffee table and wooden chairs.

Jia San carried the boy into the room and threw him directly on the floor, the boy was hit by this fall, woke up in a daze, opened his eyes and saw that the environment seemed familiar, and he was at a loss.

Kosan locked the door on the outside, leaving only a window, and he leaned on the windowsill, observing the boy's reaction with interest. How did the boy look around, as if he was ignorant, A San was disappointed, and suddenly had another plan in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Little bastard, do you know where you are now?" ”

The boy shook his head without knowing anything, looked at him strangely, Jia San learned to have a strange voice, and said faintly: "There were people who died here before, and the second master was stabbed to death in this room, and every day as soon as the sun sets, the soul of the second master will wander around the room, to pinch the child's neck......"

"Wow......" The boy's eyes widened, and he instantly changed from sobbing to crying, hugging his shoulders, grazing the roots of the wall, and quickly running to the window, crying and wailing: "Please let me go...... Let me ......"

Jia San laughed, patted the window and held the frame, and was addicted, and then said viciously: "Little bastard, who let you offend the third brother and me, and do a good thing to me, the third brother might as well tell you clearly, the second master is here, it will be quiet at night, and no one dares to come to save you." ”

The boy hugged his head and cried, crying hopefully, "Brother Gaosheng, come and save me!" Brother Gao Sheng, come and save me......"

Jia San sneered and said, "The one who chopped firewood in the room? Don't dream, that little cub dared to instigate the little young master to run away from home, was beaten half to death by the old lady, and thrown into a mass grave outside the city, at this time eighty percent has become a pile of minced meat in the stomach of a wild dog! ”

The boy stopped crying in shock, slowly stood up, and said distractedly, "I don't believe it...... I don't believe ......"

Jia San proudly wanted to intimidate, and when the words came to his mouth, it turned into a "ahhh

A cool breeze blew, and the window frame made a "squeak" sound, and Jia San noticed that the sun had gone down, and remembered the terrifying scene when the second master died, and shivered all over.

"Little bastard, if you dare to bite your third brother, just wait here for your life...... "shouted, and ran downstairs.

The boy still stood in place, his lips trembling silently, his eyes glazed and drifting away, his whole body seemed to be fully retracted, his face became very pale, his eyes were slightly closed, his lips moved, and after a while, the boy opened his eyes suddenly, staring at his hands, as if he had just woken up from a deep sleep.

Through the window, the distant back of Jia San downstairs flickered, and a gleam appeared in the boy's eyes......
