Under the recommendation of the old lady, Yao Heier and Cuiling slowly became familiar with the people in the village.

This village is called Shanjia Village, in addition to Yao Hei'er's family, there are eight mountain people in the village, all of whom have the surname Shan. There are terraced rice fields in the low part of the mountain, and there is a small river to the east of the village.

These eight families all rely on planting terraced fields, and when the farming is not working, they catch some fish in the river, or collect firewood and game in the mountains to make a living.

Mrs. Shan, Tiezhu's grandmother, is very popular in the village. Everyone heard Mrs. Shan say that the new family had nothing to eat for a while, so they sent some food one after another, and most of them were just black-faced nests like Mrs. Shan's house.

In the eight or nine days before the market, Yao Hei'er's family lived on the gifts of these eight mountain people.

In the past eight or nine days, Tie Zhu came every day to take Qiong'er and a few children in the village to collect firewood and grass in the dry woods. Qiong'er also gradually faded away from the delicate nature of Miss Qianjin, a pair of small hands have been pierced countless times by wooden thorns, and small blisters have been constantly grinding out on her hands, but she never sheds tears. Her soft shoulders can also carry a heavy bundle of firewood and grass.

Tie Zhu's father, named Gourd. He was a strong, sturdy but taciturn mountain man. Zhong Cuiling often walked around their house, and occasionally ran into him, he immediately blushed and avoided him from afar.

Tie Zhu's mother, whose maiden name is Zhang, is called the second sister because of the second line in the family. This second sister Zhang is also very kind-hearted, that is, when she talks, it is endless. After getting acquainted with Yao Hei'er, he often came to Yao's house to walk around, and admired Yao Hei'er and Zhong Cuiling's clothes, shoes and socks from time to time, which were exquisite and smacking.

Second Sister Zhang learned that Yao Hei'er had gone to the mountains alone to look for wild fruits, so she smiled and said: "Sister Yao, you don't know where there are good fruits, it is inevitable that you will have to run the wrong way, tomorrow the family will be fine, wait for me to go with you, it is now the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, although there are not as many fruits as in late autumn, there are many ripe ones, and I will let you pick a big bag back." ”

The next day, Yao Hei'er also left Zhong Cuiling to take care of Pei'er and Jiu'er, and arranged for Qiong'er to go to collect firewood with Tiezhu, and she and Second Sister Zhang went up the mountain again. Second Sister Zhang took a small basket from home. When they went down the mountain in the evening, the two picked a basket full of sour dates, raspberries, mulberries, etc., as well as some wild fruits that even Second Sister Zhang couldn't name.

This made the children who had been gnawing on the nest for a few days all happy. After a while, he ate and his mouth was full of red juice.

Watching the children happily eating, laughing and making trouble, Yao Hei'er's heart was happy and bitter.

In the next few days, Yao Heier went to the mountains every day, picked some wild fruits, and opened "meat" for the children.

On this day, Second Sister Zhang and Yao Hei'er, while picking wild fruits on the mountain, couldn't help but ask: "Sister Yao, we are also acquainted, I always want to ask you something, but I'm embarrassed." ”

Yao Hei'er knew in her heart that this second sister Zhang was probably curious about her origin, and it was no wonder that the clothes and jewelry in her home were all extremely gorgeous, but she couldn't even eat, who could not have a question in her heart? It's better to take the initiative to say it yourself, so she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, our family was indeed a big family. Just because my husband died, I gave birth to three more girls, and my in-laws couldn't tolerate me. And they sent me into this mountain. It's just that I've never worried about firewood, rice, oil and salt, so I can't touch the edge for a while, and everything is not complete. Let my sister-in-law smile. ”

Second Sister Zhang nodded and sighed: "It turns out that you are also a poor person, sister. You girls, how handsome they look, and it's a shame that their family can afford it. Having said that, I still didn't understand in my heart, when they moved in that day, they faintly heard a few children crying and shouting "Dad", what was going on?

It's not easy to ask clearly, so he said again: "Your mother-in-law probably has already had this thought." After the New Year, that is, on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, they began to build houses here. ”

"The eighteenth day of the first month?" Yao Hei'er couldn't help but ask.

Second Sister Zhang hurriedly said: "That's right, it's the eighteenth day of the first month." It was our family's birthday and I got up early and boiled two eggs for him. My mother-in-law has one, and the iron pillar is one. Tie Zhu was determined to show off to a few children in the village, so he happily took it and ate it outside, and after a while, he ran back in a panic, and told me that a group of people came outside, all of them were menacing, and when they saw the children watching from the side, they yelled at the children. I saw that the child was a little frightened, and hurried out to look, and saw that the group of people were all dressed very generously, and they were measuring the ground there. There was a cart in the back, pulling bricks and wood and other things. ”

"The eighteenth day of the first month? The eighteenth day of the first lunar month? Yao Hei'er kept repeating the four words, and she didn't hear the words of Second Sister Zhang at all.

Second Sister Zhang was a little strange, tilted her head to look at Yao Hei'er, and said, "Sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

Yao Hei'er was taken aback, and hurriedly covered up: "It's nothing." He smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know, they started planning this matter so early." ”

Yao Hei'er said it lightly, but she was quickly calculating in her heart, King Zhen's Mansion was copied on March 16, and Yao's house was copied on March 17. On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Dusin was ready to go out by himself. In other words, he already knew that the Yao family, and even the Zhen Wangfu, would be copied soon.

Why?

King Zhen's mansion and Yao's family were copied, were the two families framed, or did King Zhen and his father really deliberately rebel? This is a question that I have always had in my heart, I was too sad some time ago and didn't think about it seriously, but it seems to have an answer at this time.

If King Zhen and his father really wanted to rebel, why didn't Du Xin and them do it immediately when they found out the news, but first ran to the capital away from the capital - how far away from the capital is here, Yao Hei'er didn't know - ran to such a distance from the capital to build a house for Yao Hei'er? Ready to send Yao Hei'er?

No! They were premeditated! Premeditated to frame King Zhen and the Yao family, and premeditated to take away Yao Hei'er!

Since King Zhen and the Yao family were framed, Du Xin, who had been plotting to get him out for a long time, must be the most important participant in it! Perhaps, the processing of this case took longer than Dusin's budget. But no matter what, one thing is certain, at the beginning of their premeditated planning, they had already found this place for Yao Hei'er!

This is a conspiracy between the new emperor and Du Xin, the Yong family, and several other powerful families, the purpose is King Zhen, the Yao family is the foil, and she Yao Hei'er is just the smallest appendage.

His father was the founder of Xu Guo, but he was framed for rebellion!

This matter is no longer as simple as being taken away by oneself and the dowry being embezzled! Hatred, the hatred of killing his father, and the hatred of destroying his family, tightly grasped Yao Hei'er's heart, and it hurt and hurt. She bit her lower lip hard, desperately restraining herself from screaming in pain.

Second Sister Zhang suddenly exclaimed, "Sister of the Yao family, what's wrong with you?" ”

Yao Hei'er woke up suddenly, only to find that her hand was tightly holding a thorny branch, and the wooden thorns on the branch had pierced into her palms and fingers, and the bright red blood was sliding down the branches to the ground drop by drop.

A sharp pain struck.

What if you know the truth? She Yao Hei'er is just an abandoned woman who has no power to restrain the chicken, and now she can't even sustain three meals a day; On her opposite side is the new emperor, the general Shenwu, the general Yunlu, and the important ministers and high-ranking officials in the court! Hold the power of the army, and respond to every call!

Yao Hei'er felt a despair that she had never felt before, more desperate than hearing that her mother's house had been raided, more desperate than hearing that her father and brother had been beheaded, and more desperate than on the eve of being expelled.
