Chapter IV
In the Xiaoleiyin Temple, Qu Muge did not sleep peacefully this night, as if he had fallen into hell.
In the dream, after she was captured by the Cao family, she was forced to marry Zeng Kang, the son of the Zeng family.
She didn't like Zeng Kang, but in the first three months of marriage, because Zeng Kang liked her beauty, everything was fine, just when Ye Taohua thought that life was going to go on like this, Zeng Kang lost the field because of gambling.
In order to repay the money, the Zeng family father and son tied her to the gambling house in Jinling City and used her body to pay off the debt.
Since then, the Zeng father and son will bring different men home, and she has completely become their money-making tool and the laughing stock of Momiji Village.
She ran back to Ye's house for help, but was beaten out by Ye's father, and the Cao family even asked her for money.
Not only did she suffer, but the child she gave birth to did not have a good life.
Zeng Kang either beat or scolded the children, saying that they were wild seeds, and they were not given food or drink, and finally in a quarrel, she picked up a knife and stabbed Zeng Kang.
She didn't know if she was dead or not, but she was thrown into prison and sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn......
The hellish dream made Qu Muge wake up crying, everything in the dream was too real, as if it had happened.
"Is that you? Was it your experience in a past life? Qu Muge asked Ye Taohua silently, no one answered her, but she already had an answer in her heart.
Qu Muge sat at the head of the bed and cried for a long time, stroking the two documents that Liu Jing gave her, so that she had a little sense of security.
Qu Muge couldn't imagine what she would do if she fell into a situation like Ye Taohua.
She may choose to fight to the death earlier than Peach Blossom, but she doesn't have the ability to defy the sky, and she will still suffer a lot of crimes.
In contrast, she is more and more grateful to the Gu family mother and son, they are her nobles, who have brought a major turn in her life.
Thinking about all the things in her past life and this life, Qu Muge's head became more and more confused, and in the morning bell of Xiaoleiyin Temple, she fell asleep deeply.
She slept until noon, and did not wake up until an old woman came to call her to dinner.
Qu Muge jumped out of bed suddenly, got dressed in a panic, and apologized: "I'm sorry, I overslept, I don't like to sleep lazy...... Sorry ......"
It was so exaggerated that she was late on the first day of "work", Qu Muge thought about repaying Mrs. Gu before going to bed, but she didn't expect her body to be so unlucky, she felt very sorry!
The old woman who woke her up was Mrs. Gu's nurse, Mother Xin.
Xin's mother originally left with her husband's family after Mrs. Gu got married, but not long ago, Gu Nanye found Xin's mother again and asked her to come back to take care of Mrs. Gu.
Mother Xin is a very kind old man, she had already heard Mrs. Gu talk about Ye Taohua in the morning, so she didn't blame her for sleeping lazy, but said with a smile: "Poor child, Madam knows that you haven't rested well for many days, so she deliberately didn't call you." It's just that now it's time to eat, and you must be hungry, so eat and sleep. ”
No matter how thick-skinned Qu Muge is, he is embarrassed to eat and sleep!
Mother Xin brought Qu Muge clean new clothes, Qu Muge neatly packed herself up, and went to Mrs. Gu's courtyard with Mother Xin.
Although the opening ceremony of Xiaoleiyin Temple is over, the Gu family's soup kitchen shed and free clinic will be held for seven consecutive days, and Mrs. Gu even went to the shed to help in person in the morning, and then returned to the small courtyard to rest.
In contrast, Qu Muge, who was sleeping lazy, felt even more blushing.
Mrs. Gu looked at Qu Muge, who had changed into clean clothes, with a smile, and beckoned her to have lunch together.
I thought that Mrs. Gu was the housewife of a wealthy family, and there must have been many rules for eating and wearing, but I didn't expect her to eat quite simply, three dishes of vegetarian dishes and a bowl of porridge.
Mother Xin brought a cup of chicken soup from the side and said, "Peach Blossom, this is specially given to you by Madame, drink it while it's hot." ”
Qu Muge was very embarrassed and said, "Madam and Mother Xin don't have chicken soup to drink, how can I drink it, the elders should drink it first." ”
Mrs. Gu smiled softly and said, "Mother Xin and I both vowed to be vegetarian in front of the Buddha, but you are still growing your body and can't live a hard life with us, drink it quickly." ”
When Qu Muge signed the living contract yesterday, he thought that he would live a working life like a maid, but he didn't expect the master's family to be so good!
After feeling that she had met a good person for the Nth time, Qu Muge drank all the chicken soup in one go, and I have to say that the pollution-free local chicken soup was really fragrant, so delicious that she was about to cry.
She didn't cry here, but Xin's mother wiped her tears.
Mrs. Gu asked with concern, "Mother Xin, what's wrong with you?" ”
Mother Xin took Qu Muge's hand and said to Mrs. Gu: "Madam, when I just saw Peach Blossom changing clothes, I was all injured on my body, and I didn't have a piece of good meat, which is really distressing." ”
Mrs. Gu sat up straight and asked, "Are you also injured?" She thought that the injuries on Ye Taohua's hands and feet were shocking enough.
At the insistence of Mrs. Gu and Xin's mother, Qu Muge was pressed by them on the soft collapse and took off her clothes.
On her chest, there are traces of bamboo whipping on her arm, and the wound on her back is even more serious, not only from fresh whipping, but also from a large bruise from being beaten, and there are even traces of being scalded with a soldering iron on her waist!
"It's just ...... Beast! Mrs. Gu's years of cultivation were also a little unbearable, so she scolded.
Mother Xin held back her tears and found the wound medicine to apply to her, while Mrs. Gu held her hand and said, "You child is so stupid, the injuries on your body are so serious, why didn't you say it yesterday?" I should have drugged you last night...... It must have hurt......
Qu Muge was indeed in pain, but she didn't dare to say it.
finally met a kind host's family, not only took her in, but also solved her troubles, how dare she be delicate and annoying?
"Madam, Mother Xin, don't worry about me, I'm really fine, the skin injury will be fine in a few days......"
She was lying on the couch and was persuading softly, when Mrs. Gu suddenly stood up and shouted in surprise and reproach: "Ah, you kid! ”
Mother Xin also hurriedly put her clothes on Qu Muge's back, and said with a smile: "Hey, blame me, blame me, I didn't close the door......"
Did someone break in? She didn't hear the footsteps.
Qu Muge was confused, she got up and looked back, but she didn't see anyone except the shaking door curtain.
Mrs. Gu coughed a little embarrassed, and explained that Xin's mother continued to apply medicine to Qu Muge, and she took the door and walked out.
Gu Nanye stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed slightly on his face that had always been expressionless.
Mrs. Gu went over and patted her son's arm, and scolded in a low voice: "Why didn't you knock on the door when you came in, so reckless!" ”
Gu Nanye felt very wronged, it was noon, it was time for lunch, and the door was not closed, who would have thought that the girl inside was not dressed?
Mrs. Gu said again: "The little girl is thin-skinned, she may be too shy at this time, you can go in later." Hey, if you want me to say, you shouldn't always stay in the barracks and forget about the defense of men and women. ”
Gu Nanye said helplessly: "Mother, she is only thirteen years old and still a child. What's more, she is covered with scars, and no one will have any thoughts when they see it. ”
Speaking of the scars, Mrs. Gu said indignantly: "How can the Ye family's parents do it, it's their own child!" ”
"Yes, if it's your own child, how can you do it?" Gu Nanye said as if unintentionally.
Mrs. Gu was extremely smart, and immediately realized, "You mean? They are not ......"
Gu Nanye glanced at the room, and Mrs. Gu was immediately silenced and sighed in a low voice: "It's really pitiful!" ”
