A hint of ominous feeling tightly grasped Yao Hei'er's heart. She suddenly realized that the muddy ground was densely covered with many messy horses' hoof prints, and it was obvious that they were not her own horse's hoof prints. Because these horseshoe prints are going in the direction of the outside of the village. And with only this one horse, it is impossible for him to step on so many hoof prints.

In the village, only his own family has a horse, and a single family has a cow, and other families have no more.

Where do these horseshoe prints come from? Did someone come to the village? On the way into the village, I didn't see a single figure, when did they come? And when did you leave?

Yao Hei'er is not allowed to think too much, she has come to her door. The situation of the Yao family also made Yao Hei'er's eyes darken, in the single family village where the family was closed, only the courtyard door of the Yao family was opened, and some torn clothes, smashed boxes, uprooted flowers and vegetables were thrown at the door, and the iron pot that should have been on the stove was also lying in the mud at the door at this time, and a dazzling black hole was rotten in the middle.

Yao Hei'er's heart jumped wildly, her body couldn't help but tremble, her upper and lower teeth knocked on each other without obeying, she didn't have the courage to call her family out to get things as usual, she jumped out of the carriage and rushed in like crazy.

The room was empty, empty, empty......

There was a whirlwind in his head, a field of Venus in front of him, his ears buzzing, and his heart seemed to stop beating.

The empty room was a mess, the bed had collapsed, the kang had collapsed, the table was rotten, the chairs were falling apart, several books were torn to pieces, and an inkstone was shattered on the ground, splashing ink on the ground, as hideous as a grinning demon with bared teeth.

Yao Hei'er held on to the door frame so that she didn't fall down.

A heavy footstep sounded behind Yao Hei'er.

Yao Hei'er turned around slowly, it was Shan Hulu's honest face, and at this time, this face was full of horror.

"Black ...... Brother Hei ......" The man of Mu Ne hesitated to speak: "Brother Hei, Sister Cuiling and the three children are all in my house, I heard the sound of the carriage, hurry over......"

The three children are fine, Cuiling is fine, great! What about my mother and sister-in-law? After a short fluke, Yao Hei'er was shocked again, and she cast an inquiring glance at Shan Hulu.

Shan Hulu avoided her anxious eyes, lowered his head and said, "You also come to my house...... Everything is clear......"

Yao Hei'er let go of the door frame and stumbled out, and Shan Hulu hurriedly reached out to support her.

In the single family, the three children were lying on Mrs. Shan's kang with a towel dipped in cold water on their foreheads. Second Sister Zhang took off the old towel from time to time and replaced it with a new towel soaked in cold water.

As a result of the fright of the previous night, coupled with the rain, all three children had a fever.

Mrs. Shan hugged the iron pillar who was also frightened and couldn't speak, and touched his forehead from time to time, for fear that he would also get hot.

Zhong Cuiling's clothes were splashed with muddy water, she trembled, sat on the chair on the kang, looked at Shan Hulu and Yao Hei'er who walked in the door with a somewhat dull gaze, and whispered softly: "Sister." ”

Yao Hei'er pounced all of a sudden, grabbed Cuiling's arm, and asked frantically, "Cuiling, what's wrong?" What about my mother and sister-in-law? ”

Zhong Cuiling's eyes fell with tears again, she wanted to say it but didn't know how to say it, she trembled for a long time, as if she remembered something, and hesitantly took out a piece of paper from her sleeve.

Yao Hei'er snatched it and found that it was an official document from Dali Temple: the Wen family and the Liu family, the criminal investigator Yao Dian's family, were originally sold into slavery, but they escaped without permission and were arrested. Diao Min Yao Hei'er, bold and reckless, secretly hid fugitive slaves. should be guilty of the same crime, but God has the virtue of a good life, so Yao Hei'er was only expelled from the border of Anshun Mansion and was not allowed to live within 500 miles of the capital. Within 10 days from today, move out of your residence. If there is a violation, ask the guilty together with the Wen family and the Liu family!

Yao Hei'er's eyes darkened, and she fell down softly.

After waking up, Yao Hei'er pushed everyone away like crazy, went straight to the door, stepped on the muddy road, ran to the outside of Shanjia Village in one go, and picked up the purple embroidered shoe that was stuck in the muddy water - it was indeed her sister-in-law Liu's.

She sat in the muddy water in despair, holding the shoe in her arms, and wept bitterly. It is not difficult to imagine how my mother and sister-in-law were tied to the back of the horse team on that stormy night last night, staggering, stumbling and being dragged in the muddy water; She was full of remorse, if she didn't bring her mother and sister-in-law from Jiyan City, but let them live in Uncle Li's house, maybe there would be no such thing at all.

She lifted the shoe and threw it in her face, slapping it from side to side, until she was grabbed by a strong arm. She frantically shouted at the owner of her arm, "Leave me alone, let me die!" ”

Two days later, Yao Hei'er, who was originally sick and dying, got up from the bed.

Some people are not eligible to get sick. For example, the current Yao Heier.

In two days, she has become skinny, because of emaciation, those already big eyes appear bigger, and the light in her eyes makes people a little frightened and desperate? Fury? Vicious? Hatred? Perhaps, both.

Such a complicated look in his eyes is long on a face as calm as water, which is even more unpredictable.

The first thing she did when she got up was to remove the flower pot in the corner, lift the floor tiles under the flower pot, and open the small box with oiled paper inside, and secretly breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.

It seems that the darkness and heavy rain that night did Yao Hei'er a favor, and although the crazy people turned the house upside down, and the valuable jewelry and clothes were robbed, no one found the secret under the flower pot.

In this small box, there are one hundred taels of gold and two hundred taels of silver.

Yao Hei'er smiled bitterly again, she knew in her heart that it was impossible to buy off those people with huge appetites in Dali Temple to let them release their mother and sister-in-law. However, if you can buy a few officials to meet your mother, there should be no big problem.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile bitterly again, did all her hard-earned money be used to give it to those who made her life worse than death? Why is that? It's not because they hold the power, the life and death of the people! If you want to complain, you can only complain that you are not a powerful person!

It's just, who should this money be given to? In the cold city, is there anyone else who can help you?

No matter what, you have to give it a try, and if you try, there may be a way, but if you don't try, there will never be a way.

She walked into the room with the small box in her hand. In the past two days, the room has been cleaned up with the help of the single family. Only the collapsed kang is still crooked there; For the past two days, they have to sleep in two small beds. The three children slowly subsided their fever, and Cuiling was much better, but because she was busy taking care of Yao Heier's mother and daughter, Cuiling had no time to do anything else, and the meals at home in the past few days were all sent by a single family.

The other families in the village, because they were frightened that night, did not dare to come to Yao's house for the past few days. Yao Hei'er didn't care, after all, the mountain people were all timid people, and they didn't know what mistakes the Yao family had made that would provoke the officers and soldiers of the brigade.

Zhong Cuiling tied Qiong'er's hair while silently watching Yao Hei'er pack her bags, and when she saw Yao Hei'er preparing to go out, she said softly: "Sister, be careful all the way!" ”

Yao Hei'er nodded, took out the white horse, stroked the horse's mane gently, turned over the horse, and galloped away.

At this time, Yao Heier never expected that she would meet someone she didn't expect at all during her trip to the cold city.
