Chapter 184: Helplessness (Five Watches)
"It's a shame."
"Come on! What is a pity? People still have to worry about being a full ghost, you are the hungry ghost! ”
Tao Qini took the food box in Han Jinhu's hand and looked at the people in the shed, "Let's give her a ride, it should be fine!" ”
"Go ahead!" The butcher pointed to the curtain and said, "Hurry up." ”
Tao Qini pulled the second girl around the shed and walked in front of her.
As early as she heard their voices, she took the ragged clothes and put them on, covering her upper body.
"Why are you here?" She looked at the cleanly washed Qiao Erniu and said.
"The second girl wants you to eat this bowl of noodles." Tao Qini opened the food box and handed it to her eyes.
She looked at the black noodles in the food box and burst out of her eyes.
"Mother, eat!" Qiao Erniu took two steps forward and held the food box.
"Hmm!" With tears in her eyes, she swallowed the bowl of sorghum noodles with difficulty, "Thank you! ”
"Erniu, Miss will be your master in the future, and she will do whatever she asks you to do!" She looked at Qiao Erniu and admonished.
"How do you know I'm a woman." Tao Qini looked at her in surprise and said.
"It's very simple, men avoid me when they see me like this." She looked at Tao Qini with a calm gaze and said.
Tao Qini knew that she was referring to Tao Liuyi and them, like frightened rabbits.
"But those people outside the shed don't dodge!" Tao Qini looked at her and said.
"There is no evil in your eyes." She looked at her with clear eyes and said, the implication was that those men outside the shed did not forget to take advantage of them when they were hungry.
A woman who was observant carefully, Tao Qini pursed her lips and thought for a while, "That, in fact, I can ......"
"No!" She looked at her calmly and said, "I can see that you are a good person, and I can't drag you down." "Looking at their plain clothes and rough hands, they are also hard-earned money, and it is already a great favor for people to be able to sell their second girl.
"Let's go!" She squatted down and hugged Qiao Erniu tightly and said, "Erniu should obediently listen to Miss's words and live well." ”
"Hmmm! Mother, I listen to you. Qiao Erniu nodded heavily, and the tears in her eyes fell down with a click.
"Miss, take her with you!" She stood up and put Erniu's hand on Tao Qini's hand and said.
"Don't worry, Erniu will definitely live well, I will teach her martial arts, and she won't be bullied." Tao Qini looked at her and promised, "I will teach her to read and write, and plan to support herself." ”
She looked at Tao Qini in disbelief with a shocked face, looked at Tao Qini's clear eyes and didn't seem to be fake, knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you!" ”
Tao Qini pulled the second girl out of the shed, went around to the front, looked at the butcher and said, "Please take care of the burial, we have to let her be buried in the ground." ”
"This ......" the butcher looked at the pile of graves not far away, and they all threw it away.
"Trying to kill evil is against heaven and harmony, and accumulate more yin virtue for yourself." Tao Qini looked at the two of them with a slightly cold look and said.
"Okay, okay. You see, we are also helpless, so we can only sweep it with grass. The butcher looked at her in embarrassment.
"Okay." Tao Qini pulled the second girl to look at Tao Liuyi and said, "Let's go!" ”
Tao Qini and the others walked quickly, and with her sensitive ears, she clearly heard the heavy sound of the axe being chopped down, and the muffled snort of the woman.
She was afraid that her daughter would hear her cry, so she held a branch in her mouth.
The people waiting outside the shed had different expressions, but they all avoided Tao Qini's sharp gaze in the same way, and a trace of shame may have flashed in their eyes, but instead the smell of blood made them excited.
Tao Liuyi's ear power is not too bad, although it is not as clear as Tao Qini's hearing, but it can also be heard.
It was obviously the sun shining, but my heart was shivering with cold.
Only Qiao Erniu's expression was as usual, so she knew why her Nier walked so fast, because she was afraid that the child would hear it!
The five of them returned to the inn and sat at the square table, their emotions still unable to calm down, which had too much impact on them.
Zheng Tong and Han Jinhu have seen a lot, but they haven't seen it with their own eyes, and the impact is extraordinary.
In the past, the attitude was that it was not about oneself to hang high, and I didn't eat it, but in fact, I had no money, but now I read too many books, and I am very ashamed.
"Don't do that." Yao Changsheng looked at them and said, "It's just another interpretation of the troubled world, human life is like a mustard." "Swallowed the saliva and suppressed the nausea in his chest," it can be seen from the "Zuo Chuan" that the cannibalism can be traced back to the Xia Dynasty or even a longer time ago, during the Spring and Autumn Period, human sacrifice became a trend, and the Sui Zhu Cang, a history book that is a little closer to us, ate countless women; Tang Zhang patrolled the three armies of concubines; Fan Wen of the Northern Song Dynasty called the girl's meat an unenvious sheep; During the Sixteen Kingdoms, Shi Di raped the nuns first and then ate; Sun Sihao of the Eastern Jin Dynasty ate the wives and daughters of the captured county commanders; At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Zhuge Ang steamed the concubine and feasted guests; Wang Jixun of the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Zanhua, King of Dongdan, Lin Qianzhi of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Shan Shizai's killing of women and children is not enough to write at all. ”
It was the records in these history books that made Yao Changsheng feel less guilty in his heart and spend the first few years, otherwise he would have almost driven himself crazy.
"This doesn't happen until you're full." Tao Liuyi looked at them and said suddenly.
"But now it's impossible to even farm Ansheng." Han Jinhu pouted and muttered, "Who wants to leave their hometown and be displaced, who doesn't want to be fed, clothed, and live and work in peace and contentment!" ”
"Now in this world, I hope to beat him up too ......"
Before Tao Liuyi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Tao Qini, "Eat, eat." ”
My stupid brother, I don't look where it is, and I still have a peaceful and prosperous world, and we will be finished if someone listens to it.
"Only when you have enough to eat can you farm well." Yao Changsheng hurriedly agreed.
"The noodles are here, please use them slowly." Xiao Er took the freshly made sorghum noodles and put them on the table.
"Two girls! Eat! Tao Qini's chin tapped the ground in front of her.
"Miss, I gave the bowl to my mother just now, and I said I wouldn't eat it." Qiao Erniu, who lowered her head, raised her eyes to look at her when she heard the voice, plucked up her courage and said.
Tao Qini looked at her with clear eyes when she heard the words and said, "Do you listen to your mother's words?" ”
"Listen!" Qiao Erniu looked at her with red eyes and said.
"Then your mother asked you to listen to me, and you will do whatever I say? Right! Tao Qini looked at her tenderly and said, "Then eat noodles now." Her eyes looked at the sorghum noodles in front of her.
"Hmm!" Qiao Erniu had tears in her eyes, picked up the chopsticks, lowered her head, and the tears fell into the bowl and splashed.
"Eat noodles." Tao Qini raised her eyes and looked at them.
The taste is like chewing wax, and I ate the cold sorghum noodles in front of my eyes.
Xiao Er took away the empty dishes and chopsticks and put on a pot of water.
"Introduce yourself...... Tao Qini, they introduced themselves.
"Mr. Yao, teach us to write, starting with Qiao Erniu's name!" Tao Qini looked at Yao Changsheng and said, diverting attention like this.
In the middle of the afternoon, Tao Qini buried Qiao Erniu's mother.
