108. Untie the footcloth

Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Xiang Yong, and everyone was very happy, but there was one person who was not very happy, and this person was Zhang Yingxian.

When she saw the appearance of the Xiang Yongjun, Zhang Yingxian was actually very happy, she didn't want to enter any Huanglong Mountain, and she didn't want to be the wife of the anti-thief, so when Xu Renjie appeared in front of her with the Xiang Yongjun, she almost had to help Xu Renjie shout cheers.

Next, throughout the battle, she had been hoping that Zhu Yuanzhang would be defeated, and then the township warriors would be able to save her from the chaos. In fact, she knew that even if she was rescued, she was likely to be forced to death by the second young master of the Ma family, that is, her nominal father-in-law, on the grounds of loss of virginity, but the woman is a strange creature, knowing that the road is a dead end, she still doesn't want to be the lady of the village for the defeat.

She prayed silently that the village warriors must win!

Autumn leaves, who were beside her, were just the opposite, and had been silently praying that Zhu Bugling would definitely win!

The result was that one person was happy and one was sad, Zhu Yuanzhang killed the village warrior army like a trick, Zhang Yingxian's heart seemed to fall into the abyss, she really didn't expect that her housekeeper Zhu Ba had such a stake, and easily shattered her little wish.

"Autumn leaves...... Are you happy now? But I'm bitter......" Looking at Akiba's joyful face, Zhang Yinghua couldn't help but want to say a few words: "Alas, your heart is longing for the man you like, and you don't even care about your own young lady, I have really been good to you for so many years." ”

In all fairness, Zhang Yingxian is not bad to the people under the maid.

Autumn leaves were stunned by her words, and hurriedly said, "Miss, no...... I...... I won't ignore Miss's ......"

"You take care of me, how are you going to take care of the law?" Zhang Yinghua smiled bitterly: "The man you like doesn't marry you, but he has to rob me...... What is this? You don't even dare to say a word for me......"

Akiba smiled bitterly: "This matter, the servant has no qualifications to speak at all......"

"Then I'll ask you!" Zhang Yinghua said very seriously: "If after entering the mountain, he wants to force me to sleep in the same bed with him and serve him, what are you going to do?" ”

"This ...... Servant ...... Servant ...... Wow......" Akiba suddenly burst into tears.

The two women were talking helplessly, and Zhu Yuanzhang had already walked over with the soldiers: "Let's go, go into the mountain!" ”

"Can't walk!" Zhang Yinghua said in a dissatisfied tone: "Once I enter the mountain, the mule cart, horse-drawn cart, and ox cart are useless, I don't have a cart to sit on, and I can't walk!" ”

"If you can't walk, you have to go!" Zhu Yuanzhang's brows furrowed, he looked at Zhang Yingxian's little feet, and felt uncomfortable, how can women in this world like to wrap their little feet? They should all be like my big-footed horse queen, maintaining a pair of natural feet, so that they are good-looking.

Zhu Wuzhang's fierce tone startled Zhang Yingxian, and she didn't dare to provoke further, so she had to pout, and two crystal tears hung on the corners of her eyes, but they didn't roll down...... In fact, her surname is stubborn, so she quarreled with the second young master of the Ma family for a year, she really didn't pretend to the man she didn't like, and she never became a real husband and wife.

If it was on an ordinary occasion, in front of an ordinary outsider, she would have quarreled with Zhu Yuanzhang a long time ago, but ...... She didn't dare to quarrel now, the other party held the army, and the killing was decisive and merciless, in the cellar, Zhu Ba waved a knife to cut off the head of the catcher, and the scene of blood spilling was still deeply imprinted in her mind, making her very afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"But I really can't walk...... Zhang Yingxian couldn't help crying: "It's not pretending......"

Now the new social people, although they have heard a lot about the bad habit of binding small feet, but they have an in-depth understanding, or have not seen much with their own eyes, binding small feet is a very torturous behavior, women's feet are tightly wrapped with white cloth from a few years old, so that it is unhealthy, and when it grows up, the feet become deformed and small, and it is impossible to walk normally. Therefore, in ancient times, everyone would have a personal maid to serve, and this maid was actually used as a crutch for the young lady most of the time...... Just like the crutches of a lame man, the difference is that the crutches of the ladies are alive and can also be used to serve tea and water.

You say, is it reliable to let a lame man climb a mountain? Zhang Yingxian was afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang and didn't dare to quarrel with him, so she cried aggrieved.

"What are you crying about? Untie your footcloth and throw it away! Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "You are only sixteen years old this year, and you still have time to recover when you untie the footcloth, and you can't do it when you are older." ”

"Untie?" Zhang Yingxian was shocked: "Don't ...... I don't want to untie it! ”

Ancient women regarded foot binding as beauty, and if you want her to untie the footcloth, it is equivalent to forcing modern women not to wear makeup on their faces, depriving women of the right to pursue beauty, which is more cruel than killing women.

"Give me an explanation!" Zhu Yuanzhang relaxed his tone, even a few soldiers who didn't know much about him could hear that his impatience had reached the extreme.

"No...... Indissoluble! Zhang Yingxian is still insisting.

Zhu Yuanzhang was angry, and shouted softly at Qiu Ye next to him: "You go, give me her footcloth." ”

If it was Akiba yesterday, maybe he would have listened to his orders, but Akiba was just passed by Zhang Yingxian, saying that she took care of the man and didn't care about herself, how could she bear to come out to deal with her own young lady at this time. She took a step back...... shook his head: "Brother Zhu, spare Miss...... Please...... You can do whatever you want me to do, stop bullying Miss, she's really pitiful. ”

Qiu Ye is disobedient, Zhu Yuanzhang is really not good at forcing her, because Qiu Ye really loves him and treats him well, he doesn't have a bad habit of bullying women who really love him.

He turned his head: "Ma Xiaotian, you go!" ”

"This ......" Ma Xiaotian Khan: "Brother Zhu, it's not appropriate for me to do this, she was robbed by you to be Mrs. Zhai, that is, my sister-in-law, how can I touch my sister-in-law's feet." ”

Ancient women's feet were not something that anyone could touch, let alone touch them, and they couldn't even look at them. Because at that time, a woman's feet were a very private thing, just like the breasts and buttocks of modern women, and could never be seen by outsiders. If Ma Xiaotian really touched his sister-in-law's feet, the brothers' fingers could make him commit suicide by jumping into the river.

Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order to let Ma Xiaotian fold the cloth, because he didn't treat Zhang Yinghua as his own woman, and deep down he forgot that she was snatched by himself to be the wife of the village. When Ma Xiaotian said this, he suddenly woke up, only I can do this thing?

He is a person who does things vigorously and resolutely, since he is the only one who can do this, he will not shirk, nor will he hesitate, and walked straight towards Zhang Yingxian.

"Don't ...... Don't come here......" Zhang Yingxian felt what he was going to do, and his heart suddenly became anxious.

In later life, a man who walks towards a woman in a posture of touching his chest will also make that woman also panic, which is a very normal reaction.

"Don't let me lose my patience!" Zhu Yuanzhang threw out a sentence fiercely, grabbed Zhang Yingxian's hand, and dragged her behind the tree.

"Help me...... Autumn foliage ...... Help me...... You said you wanted to help me...... Woo...... "Zhang Yingxian is in a hurry, this is really a rush to the doctor, and even Autumn Leaves want to be pulled out as a rescuer, but how can Autumn Leaves have the ability to save her?" In front of Zhu Yuanzhang, Qiu Ye was obedient like a little sheep, and the resistance just now was already exhausted, but now he really can't move a finger.

Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinates, Zhang Yingxian's maids, all stared at her with wide eyes and remained motionless, watching Zhu Yuanzhang drag her into the back of the tree, Zhang Yingxian's low crying voice came from behind the tree, but there was not much struggle, she was really afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang, so afraid that she only dared to cry, and did not dare to resist. He obediently pushed him to the ground and ripped off the footcloth......

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang dragged Zhang Yingxian out from behind the tree, she had already put on her shoes, and her long skirt hung down, covering the instep of her feet, everyone couldn't see it, but they could guess that her footcloth had been torn off. Her walking posture was lighter than before, and seemed to be a little more difficult.

This is also a very normal reaction, after a woman has been wrapped for a long time, she can barely walk with her small feet, but once she takes off the footcloth, she can't walk at all, because after untying the cloth, the bones that have been tightened up are loosened, the stress point has changed, and the posture and action of walking should be refamiliarized, so women usually have to adapt to a long time before they can walk again.

Zhang Yingxian cried whining, she couldn't walk anymore, and the focus of the whole person was on the hand that Zhu Yuanzhang was dragging her, otherwise she would fall to the ground, which was really miserable.

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have the spirit of pity and cherishing jade at all, he was a complete machismo, and snorted coldly at Zhang Yingxian: "I will untie this cloth for you, and you are not allowed to wrap it in the future, if I find out, you will wrap it again...... Hmph......"

He didn't say anything threatening to "beat you up, kill you", he just "snorted", but this kind of halfway talk is the most terrifying, because you don't know what method he will use against you, the more you think about it, the more terrible it becomes.

Zhang Yingxian couldn't help but think of the two heads flying up in the cellar again: "Woo...... I don't pester...... Don't pester......"

Poor Zhang Yingxian, she didn't know that Zhu Yuanzhang ripped off her footcloth for her good, and after a long time, women would be liberated from the bad habit of footbinding and get a free body and mind. And when Zhu Yuanzhang threatened her, he "hummed", just because he didn't think of any way to threaten this woman, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like to beat a woman, and it was not necessary to kill her, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't think of a way to threaten her, so he had to "hum" helplessly, but he didn't expect this "hum" to frighten her when he heard Zhang Yingxian's ears......

It can be seen that between people, the most important thing is to understand each other, if you don't understand a person, his words and deeds, you may think in a bad direction, in fact, people don't think so at all! If it is replaced by Autumn Leaves, he will not be afraid of this "hum" at all, because Autumn Leaves knows that Zhu Yuanzhang is a good person!
