Chapter 10: Waiting

Xiao Tao was anti-guest, grabbed one of the man's wrists with both hands, and used all her strength to pull the man away from the village.

But her strength was too small to pull him at all.

"You stay here, don't go near the village no matter what happens, and wait for me to come to you." The man's expression became nervous, and he placed the little peach on a tree and flew down the tree.

Xiao Tao has been trembling, she doesn't even dare to speak, her eyes are full of uneasiness, and the whole person is very anxious, these reactions seem to be Xiao Tao is scared in the eyes of men.

The man left, and he put the little peach on the tree and left.

Xiao Tao hugged the tree trunk alone, silently shedding tears, just looking at her appearance was enough to make people feel distressed.

The village in the distance was surrounded by raging fires, and it was supposed to be a big night, but it was as bright as day.

The fire was not extinguished until dawn, and the man carried the two people back to the tree where Xiao Tao was with black faces.

When Xiao Tao saw the man coming back, she directly hugged the tree and slid down from it.

"Brother Qi......" Xiao Tao stepped forward anxiously, and she was relieved to see that the man was not injured, but when she saw the person lying on the ground, she was stunned.

There were two people lying on the ground, one was the man's cousin Zirou, and the other was dressed in black, with black and gray marks on her face, probably where she got something, but her general appearance can be seen by others, she is a symbol of beauty.

"This ......" Xiao Tao was stunned for a while and reacted, she looked at the woman in black on the ground, and her brain was blank.

"This is my other cousin, Ziyan. Let's get out of here, and you'll be with me later. The man said in an unmistakable tone.

Little Peach trotted after the man, and left the vanished village with him.

A few people came to a cave, and Xiao Tao still waited for them as before, looking for water to wash their faces, and helping them collect firewood, and when they were fine, they sat quietly on the stones in a daze.

"Cousin, what do we do now? The family is gone. Zirou woke up and cried for a long time, and now she can stop.

Most of the people in the village were killed by a fire, but they had already been killed by a sword before the fire.

"I'm 100% sure about what happened back then, and I'll gather people to avenge my grandfather and father next month." The man said firmly.

"When is next month?" The rescued Purple Smoke Girl asked.

Hearing the purple smoke girl speak, Xiao Tao glanced at her, Ziyan immediately noticed, she glanced at Xiao Tao, there was inquiry and warning in her eyes, and the frightened Xiao Tao quickly withdrew her gaze.

"The exact timing is not yet known." The man said conservatively: "You two stay here, I will take Xiao Tao out to run errands, and I will come here to find you when the time is confirmed." ”

"I'll go with you." The purple smoke girl immediately said: "This maid doesn't know martial arts, it will only drag you down." ”

Xiao Tao looked up at the man timidly, she didn't have any hope that she could follow the man.

"Let's take her with you." The man did not say why.

The Purple Smoke Girl glanced at Xiao Tao again, and the Little Peach lowered her head, not daring to let the Purple Smoke Girl notice anything.

Xiao Tao, who lowered her head, was very shocked, she didn't expect the man to agree to take her with her, and she refused the woman's request, which she didn't even dare to think about before.

Sheep intestines, green trees, little peach farts followed behind the man, she looked at the man's tall and mighty back, she felt very satisfied, just want this kind of time to be a little more.

The man stopped suddenly, and he glanced at Xiao Tao behind him.

"You're curious about Purple Smoke? Tell me why. The man asked in a chatting tone, but Xiao Tao's feet were numb.

"I ...... Miss Ziyan is very beautiful......" Xiao Tao said timidly.

"You seem to be a different person, and I think you're more curious." The man said directly, and the meaning of inquiry was directly revealed, he was very curious about Xiao Tao, very curious.

is obviously an inconspicuous little girl, only eleven or twelve years old, looks like bean sprouts, although she is clean and neat in doing things, but she looks really mediocre, her face is sallow, and she has nothing outstanding.

But he was just curious about her, and even he couldn't understand this curiosity.

Xiao Tao stopped talking after listening, she bit her lip tightly, and her thoughts were in a mess.

At the end of the sheep's intestine was a big road, and the man bought a horse, let Xiao Tao sit in front of him, and rode a horse to the west.

Bandits in the west are plagued, and many city lords have organized people to eliminate bandits, but the situation has not improved at all, but has become more and more serious, and the common people feel that officials and bandits are colluding to oppress them as poor people.

Xiao Tao, who was sitting in the front, was blushing, she never thought she could be so close to him, as if she was embraced by him.

When she arrived at the inn, Xiao Tao's face was red, as if she was drunk, and the road to the room was fluttering, and the man kept paying attention to her, afraid that she would accidentally fall down the stairs.

In the next room, Bai Jing was holding the last piece of osmanthus cake with a smile in his eyes, and the person sitting opposite looked at the pastry in his hand with blank eyes.

"Master, when will you teach me spells?" Bai Jing shook the osmanthus cake, as if he was thinking about where to take it.

"Teach now, what are you going to learn?" Hua Chen said very positively.

"I suddenly don't want to study now, and I'll learn it later when I'm in the mood." After speaking, he swallowed the osmanthus cake in one bite, and he was quite happy.

Hua Chen slapped the table directly, and was about to punish this unfilial disciple when she suddenly sensed that Xiao Tao was approaching, she slowly sat down and used a spell to see every move in the next room.

When he saw Hua Chen's hand wave, the wall opposite was like a void, Bai Jing silently put away his surprise, he knew that she was very powerful, not ordinary, but he didn't understand what she was.

In the next room, Xiao Tao brought water and put it at the man's feet, and took the initiative to help take off her shoes, which was something she was used to doing in her heart, but it made the man startled, because he had never let her serve her like this.

"I've never treated you like a maid." The man's face was a little displeased, he didn't like Xiao Tao's attitude towards him now, as if he was the master.

Xiao Tao was very hurt, she shook her hand and picked up the copper basin, lowered her head and brought the copper basin to the wooden shelf, and stood aside and stopped talking.

This night, Xiao Tao leaned on the chair next to her and fell asleep, she was used to sleeping in such water, but she never thought that she would wake up in bed the next day.

The man left a note saying that he was going out for some activity and asked her to wait in the inn.

After waiting for a day, the man didn't come back, Xiao Tao was slightly worried, she didn't know what would happen next, and she didn't know what the man would encounter, she stayed in the room for another day, packed some things, made a bag, opened the door on her shoulder and went out.

It's summer, but it's surprisingly cold in the early morning, and Xiao Tao is carrying a backpack, but she doesn't know where to go.

It's the height of summer now, and the general should be preparing to attack Mobai Town with manpower at this time, as long as she waits near Mobai Town, she will definitely be able to see the young master.

After making up her mind, Xiao Tao carried her backpack and walked to Mobai Town.

Mobai Town is a good place, the town is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there are several rivers running through the city, it is a rich place.

She hadn't set foot on this land for a long time, and Xiao Tao felt that everything was very strange, and everything here was very different from the town she remembered.

The eleven or twelve-year-old girl was targeted as soon as she walked into Mobai Town, and some people hiding in the shadows couldn't help but come out of their crooked thoughts when they saw this little girl's fine skin and tender flesh, and she was walking around alone.

Give the meat to the mouth, don't eat it for nothing.

Xiao Tao walked into a small alley, trying to find a place to do something through the alley and wait for the general to come.

A pair of black hands covered Peach's neck and mouth, and she didn't want to say anything, her feet desperately kicked the ground, and her eyes seemed to be on fire.

As soon as the sack was covered, Xiao Tao's eyes turned black and she couldn't see anything.

Struggling, but to no avail. The mouth was stuffed with cloth, slightly salty, and I didn't know what it was used for before.

When she could see again, Peach was taken to a small dark room, where a large, shirtless man with a whip and a doorframe looked at her.

"Are you listening?" The whip swung in the air, rattling wildly.

Xiao Tao nodded in fright.

"Very good, don't try to escape, we will find you a good customer, if you dare to escape, I will break your legs and throw you into a mass grave, understand?" There was a strong aura in the man, and he wasn't joking.

Xiao Tao was so frightened that she only nodded her head, and she didn't know what else to do.

Probably because Xiao Tao looked very well-behaved, they quickly found a family for Xiao Tao, and the family paid a hundred copper coins to buy Xiao Tao.

signed the deed of sale and took Xiao Tao home.

knew that this was an unknown person, and the mother-in-law at home did not make much of a fuss.

"If it weren't for the poor people, they would never come here to be a house slave, I know you must have what happened to you, but you can rest assured when you come here, as long as you don't make a big mistake, no one will punish you." The person who bought the peaches was a delicate girl, who looked to be twenty years old, but she was very old in doing things, and she had a light smell in her bones.

Obviously bought Xiao Tao from a human trafficker, but she didn't pity Xiao Tao, and she didn't think Xiao Tao was stupid, listening to her tone, it seemed that everyone had their own lives.

"Sister, let me go, I still have important things to do, and I can't waste time here." Xiao Tao suddenly grabbed the girl's wrist and begged bitterly.

The little girl was not distressed at all, she grabbed Xiao Tao's hand and held it tightly, "In the future, you will be the maid of Ningfu, I will send you to the inner courtyard, you remember, you are the maid I bought for a hundred copper dollars, and you will be a person from Ningfu in the future, and you will be in this life." ”
