Chapter 16: The Girl Who Escaped from the Desert

"Girl! Girl! I lowered my voice and called softly, for fear of being discovered by the group in the front yard.

And in the house, there was soon movement, and as soon as the other party opened the door, he called "godmother".

I looked at her, this girl's round face was ruddy, and she looked as big as her senior sister.

Seeing me standing outside the door with my senior sister on my back, I showed a suspicious expression: "Who are you?" Is it a guest of the godmother? ”

"Your godmother is not a good person, what kind of girl did they lie to you? Anyway, you can run away with me. I looked at the girl and said.

She frowned when she heard this: "Who are you?" ”

"Hey, I originally stayed overnight, but none of this matters, the important thing is that your godmother is not a good person, they just want to use the incense to stun me and my senior sister, me?" I didn't know if the other party could understand what I was saying, but I still told her what had happened.

The girl seemed to have an expression of disbelief, she shook her head, and said to me: "The mother-in-law you are talking about is my godmother, my godmother is very good, three months ago, I escaped from the famine and came here, the godmother not only kindly took me in, but also treated me as her own daughter, and now I have found a good family for me, and I will never have to freeze and starve again in the future." ”

As she spoke, a heartfelt smile appeared on her lips.

I know that in the past few years, there have been disasters and famines everywhere, and the imperial court has enacted many new laws, exacting taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the people are living in dire straits.

Naturally, this girl wanted to live in peace, but I could tell from the actions and words of those people that they were not good people.

Not to mention anything else, the patriarch is all old and has lost his teeth, right? I still want to keep my senior sister as a continuation.

"You?" I was about to open my mouth to continue persuading, but I heard a sound of footsteps.

"Go back!"

And in my ears, there was also the cold voice of the North Lin.

"Go back?" I couldn't help but be stunned.

"Quick!" Stygian was visibly impatient.

And I glanced towards the backyard, the courtyard wall here was at least nine feet high, and there was no way but I could only quickly carry my senior sister back the same way.

As I left, I was a little worried, wondering if the girl would tell her godmother about my visit to her.

I hid inside, and as soon as I closed the door, I heard a "click" sound coming towards the backyard.

Through the crack in the door, I saw four old men, carrying a large sedan chair with a magnificent flower, into the backyard, and stopped in the middle of the backyard.

I squinted, thinking that I was really just choosing an auspicious day to marry the girl who was passing by to the villagers? Isn't it murder for money?

If that's the case, then the girl is also willing, I really shouldn't bother with her affairs, as long as I think about it, just protect my sister and get out.

"Hexiang, what are you doing standing at the door of this room? The auspicious time is coming, and if you have washed your body, go and put on this garment. "An old man took out a wooden tray from the palanquin, and on it was a red dress, which I thought was a wedding dress.

"Thank you, Third Grandpa." The girl named Hexiang immediately pursed her lips and smiled very happily.

"Your godmother should have said it, don't put on makeup." The old man admonished.

Hexiang seemed to nod at them, and then the old men turned and left.

I watched them go, and I wondered, don't brides all have to dress up? Why do you say you don't need to wear makeup?

"Leave your senior sister behind first and go to hide in the sedan chair." In a commanding tone, Beilin said to me.

I frowned, although I was curious at the moment, but I didn't want to be called by him like this.
