Chapter 110: Seeing may not be true
I stood on the edge of the bed, staring out the window to one side.
Outside the window, it was already pouring rain, and I wonder if the people on the mountain have come down safely now, or are they still kneeling in front of the stake?
"Madame Hades, the Divine Monarch should have his reasons for doing things, so don't be angry with him." Rat Xiangxiang stared at me and persuaded me softly.
I just pursed my lips and let Rat Xiangxiang rest, but I was upset, I wanted to go back to the room to calm down, but now that Beilin is in the room, I can only go to the front hall.
Sitting in the hall, looking out at the pouring rain, I fell into deep thought again.
I don't know, after thinking about it for a long time, this rat Gui came to invite me to dinner, and I had no appetite and shook my head at him.
Rat Gui stood aside, pursed his lips, and said to me, "Madame Hades, are you blaming the God Monarch?" ”
"I don't know." I lowered my eyes, but my heart was very confused.
"Why don't you, Madame Hades, come with me to Rongyong's house?" Rat Gui opened his mouth and said this to me.
I raised my eyes and looked at him, his little eyes rolling slightly.
"Before, when we sent the silver two, we had already been to Rong Yong's house." I remember that at that time, I saw not only Rong Yong's wife, but also his children.
At that time, I felt that Rong Yong's disappearance had nothing to do with Ming Beilin, I looked at their orphans and widows, and felt very pitiful, and now that the matter is confirmed, it was Ming Beilin who harmed that Rong Yong, I really don't have the courage to see his wife and children again.
"Madame Hades, after seeing it, you will be able to know that all the reasons and things are not what you think, sometimes, this eye can deceive people." Rat Gui looked at me and persuaded.
I heard and stood up.
Now, sitting like this in the house is also tormenting, since the rat Gui said so, then I will go out with him to take a look.
When the rat gui saw that I agreed, he immediately prepared a carriage, and this carriage was brought from the gate of Fucheng before, and it was much larger than our own one.
I sat in the carriage and listened to the sound of the rain outside, and my mind went blank.
I was a little apprehensive in my heart, because, this time, I went to see Rong Yong's wife, which was different from the last time.
"Little Gui'er, when you get to the pastry shop on the street, you will stop." I think back to the images of the children sitting on the floor, and I want to buy some delicious food to bring to them, and now, it seems that all I can do is such trivial things.
"Good!" Rat Gui immediately responded, and when we arrived at the market, we not only bought pastries, but also bought a lot of meat and vegetables, and grain, and sent them together.
The carriage was so big that I couldn't enter the alley of Rong Yong's house, so I got out of the car and ate the dry food with the rat Gui, carried it, and sent it to Rong Yong's house.
"Lady Hades, slow down." Seeing that I was walking fast, he didn't have time to help me hold an umbrella.
I held the things in my arms and rushed to the door of Rong Yong's house, but standing here, I suddenly lost the courage to knock on the door.
"Anyone? Is anyone there? ”
It was the rat Gui behind him who immediately shouted a few times at the house.
Immediately after, the wooden door was opened from the inside.
It's just that this time, it was not Rong Yong's wife who was hiding behind the door, but Rong Yong's eldest daughter.
The little girl was extremely thin, so thin that her cheeks were sunken.
Moreover, she should have only been twelve or thirteen years old, but those eyes were extremely dim, as if she had lost the innocence of a child.
When she opened the door, she just showed half of her head, staring at me, not saying a word.
"Little girl, is your mother there?" I squeezed a hard smile at her.
She shook her head at me, but her eyes quickly fell on the pastry in my hand.
I immediately held the food and sent it to her, and she did not hesitate at all, and immediately stretched out her thin hand and hugged all the pastries.
Immediately after that, he turned around and walked towards the house.
Rat Gui put a few bags of rice and noodles in his hand in the house, but there was no place to put the meat and vegetables.
It's full of stuff and it's cluttered.
"Little girl, where should I put these meat dishes?" I looked at the room where there was almost nowhere to stay and asked her.
The little girl turned to me and looked at me.
I found out that she took out all the boxes of pastries and gave them to her younger siblings, but she only licked her fingers and didn't take a bite.
Looking at her actions, I suddenly felt sour in my eyes, and I remembered that many years ago, my senior sister took the only string of sugar gourds and handed them to me to eat, and she herself just licked her fingers and said that she didn't like to eat.
Now that I have grown up, I know that it is the eldest sister's forbearance and love for her younger siblings.
"Why don't you eat it? And many more. I looked at her, still smiling.
"I don't like to eat this." After she finished speaking, she walked up to me and took the meat and vegetables from my hand, with no expression on her face, but she whispered thank you to me.
She put the meat and vegetables on the edge of the stove, and then covered her brother and sister with a very tattered coat.
Her younger siblings were all gobbling up pastries, and the youngest brother was eating too quickly and coughing vigorously.
I didn't think much of it, so I hurried in, scooped a spoonful of water from the small tank on one side, and brought it to the boy's mouth, so that he could drink it.
"Brother, eat slowly, it's all yours." The tone of this little girl's voice is like that of an adult.
I looked at the little girl and asked, "When will your mother come back?" ”
"My mother went to work in the restaurant, and I guess she won't be back until late at night." After she finished speaking, she raised her eyes again and looked at me, her dark eyes full of gloom.
It must be this difficult life that makes this young child feel hopeless.
She asked me to sit down and wait, and poured us two glasses of water.
This water cup is missing a corner, but it can be seen that it is already something that they can get their hands on.
I took the water and immediately took a sip.
"Little girl, what's your name? It's twelve this year, right? I looked at her and asked casually.
"Rong Chunmei, it's fifteen years old this year." She said, lowering her eyes.
Fifteen? This was a bit of a surprise to me, after all, she looked so thin that she didn't look like a girl in her prime.
I nodded, and tried to ask her what was missing in the house, but she said something that surprised me greatly.
"You know, so, that's why you're here again? You, you, will you take back the money? As Rong Chunmei spoke, her body actually began to tremble.
"Chunmei, what are you talking about?" I didn't understand the meaning of her words.
Her father was doing errands for us, and then "disappeared", and we paid the silver taels, and of course, there was no reason to get the money back.
