Chapter 174: Old Woman

When Chu Jiayin was put down, he squatted on the ground and vomited for a while, his face turned blue. Chu Liangshan stood aside in ecstasy.

"Brother Chu, where are we going next?" Fang Min asked.

Chu Jiayin hurriedly pricked up his ears and listened carefully. Whether these two people are here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, or have some errands, it may be clear when they see where they are going.

Chu Liangshan smiled lukewarmly, looked into the distance, and said, "Go to the capital of Xiliang Kingdom to have a look?" ”

He glanced at Chu Jiayin again, and asked with a provocative meaning: "What about you, you want to go with us?" ”

"I'm not going." Chu Jiayin felt that it was more reliable for her to stay here, and the second brother and they might not be back soon. Follow Chu Liangshan, I don't know what grievances to suffer!

Chu Liangshan smiled and bent his eyes, and said, "Okay, then you have to be careful." Let's go Fang Min. ”

"Good!"

……

Chu Jiayin hid around the leader's mansion nearby, planning to wait to see if he could wait until the second brother came back. Xiao Ceyu and Murong Han both knew that the leader was going to harm them, and it stands to reason that it was impossible to venture back.

But Chu Jiayin left the Chief's Mansion with Chu Liangshan when he couldn't tell them to leave. What if the second brother turned back to her? If not......

If he doesn't come back, Chu Jiayin is in his heart, I'm afraid it's worthless, right? Thinking about it like this, Chu Jiayin was still a little sad.

However, compared to the safety of the second brother, Chu Jiayin still hoped that Xiao Ce would not come back.

Where are they now?

Chu Jiayin was hiding in an inconspicuous tea stall drinking tea, covering her face tightly, and she had to lift the curtain when she drank, which was extremely troublesome. She inadvertently turned her gaze to the street, and found that some of the slaves she had almost saved had been taken by Xiliang soldiers again.

Well? This chief, how can words not count? Also, there were more than 1,000 people who went to see the fighting beasts that day, and more than 10,000 people came and went in this market. Isn't it, even the people of Xiliang acquiesced to the chief's mansion to capture the people of South Vietnam as slaves?

Chu Jiayin pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought that the slave den where he was imprisoned that day didn't seem to be quite like a military camp. The tents set up are all the same, and one tent can accommodate more than 50 people.

At that time, she saw a lot of tents, but she rarely saw Xiliang soldiers. I saw it occasionally, that is, those familiar faces. If there were really Xiliang soldiers in the tent, Chu Jiayin would probably see a lot of soldiers at that time, right? Even if it wasn't, it wouldn't be possible to see only those faces.

Perhaps, the people sleeping in the tent are all slaves! It's just that they were sent out in batches and sent back in batches, and they couldn't see each other.

The place was near a large field and produced almost half of the people in the small border town of Xiliang every year. More than 1,000 slaves work there day and night, does it mean that the people here in Xiliang do not have to work?

In that case, the people of Xiliang naturally felt that what the leader did was worthy of praise and praise. In human nature, laziness is an inevitable problem, and who wants to be busy sweating in the sun all day long?

But in this case, it would be too unfair to the people of South Vietnam.

Chu Jiayin's current body, it is not easy to walk freely, and if he wants to investigate something, he is undoubtedly looking for death. It's better to be restless, wait a while, or wait until the second brother to talk about it.

Chu Jiayin paid for the tea and planned to go to other places to see if there was any whereabouts of Xiao Ceyu and Murong Han. I haven't seen you all night, so you can't leave somewhere, right?

Xiliang Border City, the market is not as good as Nanyue Kyoto City, but compared to the northwest of Nanyue, it is too prosperous. Chu Jiayin walked in it, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The same people, why were the people of South Vietnam forcibly sent to be slaves of Xiliang, and the officials in the northwest did not care?

"Ouch, ouch, my old bones are falling apart!" On the road ahead, there was an old woman's voice, which seemed to have fallen.

The person who bumped into the old woman looked around in a panic, turned his head and ran. Many people stood and watched the play, some accusing the young man who ran away, and some saying that this old woman, the only thing is that no one will bend over to help people.

Chu Jiayin stepped forward, and just wanted to go over to help someone, but was reminded by a kind passer-by and said, "Girl, you can be careful." These old women and husbands, because their children are unfilial and have no one to support, often blackmail people on the street. Don't be deceived, this mother-in-law looks very strong and strong, where does she look like a person who can't get up after being knocked down? ”

Chu Jiayin took a good look, and it was indeed as he said. This mother-in-law has bright eyes and a plump body, which can be said to be still stormy. made a weak and sick look, no one would believe that she really couldn't get up.

Obviously how to look at how healthy a person.

But after hearing her howl for a long time, Chu Jiayin was still shaken. This mother-in-law looks about the same age as her grandmother, she hasn't been home for two years, and Chu Jiayin doesn't know how her grandmother is doing. Grandmother's body is not as healthy as the mother-in-law in front of her, but the same age is placed there, which makes Chu Jiayin's heart soften.

It's not easy for the elderly, so how about helping them? Chu Jiayin really didn't believe that he could be so unlucky, he was really blackmailed.

"Eh, why don't you listen, girl?" The passers-by who had spoken to Chu Jiayin earlier made worried voices.

Chu Jiayin had already squatted down, took the old man's arm, helped the person up, and said, "Mother-in-law, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine." The old woman looked at Chu Jiayin with a smile, her eyebrows were kind and kind, her eyes were bright, and she looked very good.

Chu Jiayin's arm was also very energetic.

"Thank you, girl, I've been sick lately, and I'm useless." The old woman said regretfully, with a little helplessness.

"I look at you, mother-in-law, you are much more energetic than ordinary old ladies. Go back and recuperate, it will be much better than someone your age. Chu Jiayin comforted.

The old woman patted Chu Jiayin's hand and said, "I've borrowed the girl's auspicious words." ”

She was leaving, and as soon as she took a step forward, she was about to fall. Chu Jiayin had no choice but to step forward, support her again, and say, "Where is your home?" Why don't I send you back? ”

"Oh, at the foot of the hill not far ahead." The old woman pointed to the mountain she had spoken of, which was not far away, and could be reached in a quarter of an hour or two.

Chu Jiayin is nothing to do now, the second brother is so smart, presumably even if he goes to the chief's mansion, he will not embarrass the chief. Thinking of this, Chu Jiayin was a little relieved, and at the same time, she was able to spare her mind to send this mother-in-law.

"Okay, then I'll help you go back." Chu Jiayin walked forward cautiously, for fear that the old woman would fall again.

Although her current body is estimated to be worse than the other party.

"Thank you, you're such a good girl." Mother-in-law said.

Most of the onlookers dispersed, and several mouths said that Chu Jiayin was about to be deceived again. Chu Jiayin was bored of listening to them, and avoided their voices on his own.

How can they say it so seriously?

The old woman pointed to a stick in front of her and said, "That's mine, girl, can you pick it up for me?" ”

Chu Jiayin looked in the direction she was pointing, and it was an ordinary bamboo pole, hollow. She nodded, went up and picked it up, and gave it to the old woman.

The old woman took it with a smile, used it as a crutch, and walked forward contentedly. Chu Jiayin still had to hold on to her, her walking posture, she knew that she was going to fall at a glance!

"Girl, why are you wearing a veil?" The old woman asked.

Chu Jiayin hesitated for a while, thought of several words, and finally said: "I'm a little uncomfortable, and I can't blow the wind." Take it with you for the time being, and when you get better, you will pick it up when the wind blows. ”

"Oooh."

What kind of mountain, a glance at the past is really not far away. But if you walk on the road, the road is winding and winding, and there are all kinds of houses and ponds built in the middle, and so on.

What was not a long way has become a length of exhaustion. By the time Chu Jiayin finally sent her mother-in-law home, she was already tired at the door.

"Mother-in-law, your house is so far from the market!" Chu Jiayin stuck out his tongue and said, it was still a little hot.

The threshold of my mother-in-law's house was quite high, and she couldn't find a stool or anything like that to sit down, so she sat on the threshold at will. There is no rule that she can't sit on the threshold at home, and she didn't react for a while, and the threshold of some people's homes can't be sitting.

Fortunately, the mother-in-law was the only one in the house, and she sat down on it, and the mother-in-law didn't say anything.

"Mother-in-law, where are your children?" Chu Jiayin didn't dare to mention his wife or anything like that, her mother-in-law lived alone, her wife was similar in age to her, and most of the time she died.

The mother-in-law was groping for something in the house, and she didn't know what she was looking for, so she finally poured Chu Jiayin a cup of hot water and handed it to her.

"I don't have children." When the mother-in-law said this, she showed a little regret.

Chu Jiayin couldn't help but ask: "Mother-in-law, are there no others in your family?" ”

She actually wanted to ask if this mother-in-law had a wife or something. But it seems to be a little uncomfortable to mention, and it is not good if it pokes someone's sore spot.

"No, I'm the only one." The mother-in-law seemed to be down-looking, "Earlier, I also wanted to start a family with the person I liked and have children." But after all, it's creation that makes people. ”

"What happened next?" The mother-in-law took the initiative to mention it, and Chu Jiayin saved her heart of evasion.

The mother-in-law said, "The one I fancy doesn't seem to have any thoughts about me, and I can't force it." The one who took a fancy to me was really annoying. One of them is afraid to come to see me, and the other is unwilling to come to see me. ”
