Chapter 59: The Maiden
Hearing Shen Boling's question, Yang Yu didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately told his life experience, after all, it was not something worth keeping secret.
"Although our family was not a wealthy family, it was also rich among the neighbors, and our parents were kind to our sisters, and the family lived happily.
But last year, the two countries of Qi and Tang were at war, and they were passing through where my house was, in order not to suffer from the unwarranted disaster, my parents could only take us to flee and escape the war, and there were a lot of refugees along the way, and there were more and more people who could not eat, and it was common to sell children and daughters, but when my parents came out, they brought a lot of softness, although the life was poorer than when they were at home, and they lived in peace, at least the family was safe. When Yang Yu said this, there was still a smile on his face, obviously yearning for the day when the family would be reunited.
But these are long gone, and it is impossible to go back again, his face changed, he couldn't hold back his sad feeling, and then said, "But who knew that later the Tang State troops were defeated and retreated, they ran fast, but the people of Qi also chased after them, where would those officers and soldiers care about our life or death, they ran away, but left us refugees who couldn't go fast at all."
Qi people saw that they couldn't catch up with the Tang soldiers, so they took the refugees to be angry, plundered property, killed people and set fires, thousands of refugees were not left in the hundreds, although our sisters escaped, but they were also separated from their parents, and now I don't know how they are, whether they are safe, I hope to escape like us, so that there will be hope that there will be a day to meet in the future. ”
"Without the protection of your parents, you can only be sold around?" Qi Kexue also understood what happened to them when she heard this, although she had some sympathy, but in this era, human life is as cheap as grass, and there is no such history of blood and tears, they are lucky in this way, at least until now, they have not been sent to the fire pit, and the fire pit is not only a place in the Qinglou.
Yang Yu nodded when he heard this, "The two of us are separated from our parents, and it is difficult to eat every day, but this is not bad, at least our sisters are still together, and we have gone all the way, sometimes people pity us and give us some food, and sometimes we help people do short-term jobs in exchange for some silver to get by."
But then my sister got sick, and I saw that I was going to die, and I didn't have a penny of silver in my hand, and in the end I had no choice but to sell the silver I got to them to treat my sister, and then my sister's illness was cured, and we didn't have a free body. ”
"You are good to your sister, you really don't care about anything for her, you are not afraid of being sold to the Qinglou, then this life will be ruined, I believe your parents will not want to see you like this." Before Qi Kexue could say anything, Shen Boling opened his mouth and said, although he admired her behavior, he didn't agree with it in his heart.
"I didn't want to do this, but there was really no other way at that time, I couldn't watch my sister die like this, then I really didn't have the face to see my parents." Yang Yu said helplessly, she didn't know how dangerous it was to do this, but she had no other choice, otherwise she would not have taken this path.
"And if your parents are still alive, have you ever thought about going to them?" Qi Kexue listened to Yang Yu's words, and suddenly felt a little envious of her, at least they had the experience of being with their parents, but they didn't even know who they were, and their parents in this life were even more unbearable, what was the difference between selling themselves, so she never thought of going to them.
Yang Yu couldn't help but be a little silent when he heard this, and when he raised his head again, there were tears in his eyes, "I don't dare to deceive my sister, although my sister saved me, I also sincerely want to stay by my sister's side, but if there is news from my parents, I still want to find them, at least know whether they are safe and healthy, and I will be content."
But please rest assured, since our sisters are following our sister, even if we find our parents, we will not leave. ”
"You're really good, I didn't look at the wrong person, I hope you can continue like this in the future, don't let me down." Qi Kexue was not angry when she heard this, but nodded.
"Sister, please rest assured, we two sisters are not ungrateful, we will definitely work hard in the future." Yang Yu said immediately after hearing this, but this time he didn't kneel, obviously remembering Qi Kexue's words, his head was raised high, and his eyes revealed respect.
"Don't worry, as long as you do it well and don't betray me, I will treat you as my own, and when I have the ability, I will definitely help you find your parents, and if you want to reunite with them then, I will not stop you." Qi Kexue saw her expression, but said.
She may not understand the feelings of parents and children, but that doesn't mean she doesn't want to see others reunite with their parents.
Sure enough, after hearing her words, Yang Yu burst into tears immediately, bowed her head and cried a little, maybe it was because she had suffered too much these days, and she was suddenly so concerned that she was so moved that she couldn't even speak.
"Okay, don't cry, it'll be fine later." Chu Liyue looked at her and walked over to comfort them with a smile, "Don't worry, Sister Xue is very good, you are home when you get here." ”
The two of them cried and nodded, but they also knew that when they were crying at this time, they slowly endured and retracted their crying.
Qi Kexue didn't say anything more when she saw it, the purpose of their coming out today was just to find two maids to go back, but it was still early to see the time, so she glanced at Chu Liyue, "Xiaoyue, you take the two of them back first, and Ruo'er will give them a bath and change their clothes first, and when I go back, I hope to see two neatly dressed little maids, not two little beggars, and then teach them some simple things to do, and you two slowly let them do everything you want to do now." ”
"Sister, rest assured, I'll definitely let you see the two little beauties." Chu Liyue didn't refuse when she heard this, and immediately said with a smile.
"As long as you talk a lot, go quickly." Qi Kexue listened to it and gave her a roll of her eyes.
Chu Liyue didn't care, and looked at the two sisters with a smile, "You guys come with me, let's go home." ”
When the two of them heard the word home, they suddenly felt a little emotional, and their eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Looking at the backs of the three of them, Shen Boling suddenly smiled and said, "You always say that you can't be a good person, look at it, the three of them were all rescued by you, if it weren't for you, they would definitely be captured by the enemy now, even if they don't die, the people who torture are not ghosts, or they are sold into the Qinglou, and it is better to die than to live."
Although you haven't saved too many people, at least you have saved people within your ability, which is much better than those who are full of benevolence and morality, but actually do disgusting deeds. ”
