The night is like ink, and the mountain village is silent.

Liu Shisu held her forehead and kept suppressing her crying, and the oil lamp printed her sad face, and her eyes were full of sorrow.

"My son, it's my mother who didn't protect you. You stay up first, and when your father wakes up, I will ask him to find you and find a way to redeem you. ”

The taste of being a slave and a maid was experienced by Liu when she was a child, she was lucky, she was sold at the age of eight, met her husband at the age of fourteen, and was redeemed at the age of fifteen.

But whether her luck can be reflected in her daughter is another matter.

Liu touched Ayu's face, although he was worried, he still insisted on a trace of good yearning.

"Ayu, the outside is not as good as your own home, remember not to be noticed by others if you sweat with a strange fragrance. Remember what my mother said, don't be greedy for wealth and don't come out. If you can't protect yourself, your life is the most important. ”

Liu said and choked again, although his daughter's face was still a little childish, but the color was too good, and there was a strange fragrance, if he wasn't born in this kind of rural and rough family, maybe there would be a good marriage, but unfortunately fate was not good.

She knew that Mrs. Su would not send her daughter to a place like Fireworks Willow Lane, but even if she was a maid in a big family, she couldn't help herself.

"Mother, I remember it all."

The white jade head was bowed, and the round face rubbed the palm of his mother's hand, greedy for that trace of warmth.

That night, the mother and daughter curtst their knees and talk until late at night.

The next day, Ayu got up early, she boiled porridge first, pasted coarse grain cakes, hurriedly filled her stomach and went back to the house to carry a small baggage.

Originally, she wanted to go to her parents' house to say goodbye, but when she came out, she found her mother waiting at the door of the hall.

"Mother will send you."

Ayu said "um", looked at the back room where the three younger brothers were, and followed her mother out.

The hour was still early, the sky was not bright, the path was empty, and the mother and daughter walked very slowly.

Ayu took care of Liu's body and asked her to go back early.

Liu's only walked defenselessly, walked halfway to the road, and only stood on the small slope when the sky was bright, watching his daughter go away.

Ayu walked out of the distance, and when she turned back, her mother was still standing there. She waved her hand and asked people to go back, remembering the words that her mother had just asked her to bring the letter home, and tears flowed.

All the way to the gloomy, by the time Ayu went to the town, the shops on both sides of the side street were already open.

When Su heard that she was coming, he asked her to take her to a small room to rest, cleaned up himself, and asked the coachman to set up a car and go into the city.

It was not too far from here to Liangzhou City, the carriage could reach it in two hours, and now they could arrive at noon.

The unpretentious carriage is just Ayu and Su.

Ayu hugged the little burden in her arms tightly, and the confusion in her heart was even stronger, and she whispered, "I thought there would be someone else going over." ”

Su Shi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Ayu relax, although I am doing this for a living, my family is still in the town, and my mother's family is also in Luoxi Village, even if I push others, I can't arrange you casually." ”

Ayu said "um", "I know." ”

The carriage staggered into the city and then stopped at the gate of a small courtyard.

Su Shi went down first and asked the coachman to call the door.

The one who opened the door was a hunchbacked old woman, she and Su obviously knew each other, and they said a few words when they met, and then looked behind Su with those cloudy eyes.

Ah Yumo opened his mouth and bowed slightly.

The hunchbacked woman laughed, and quickly led the two in, and as soon as she stepped into the threshold, a thirty-four-year-old woman with a sharp face greeted her and greeted Su simply, staring at Ayu with eagle-like eyes.

It's not like the woman's casual look, this gaze is shrewd and vicious, as if it wants to see people through.

"Look up."

In an unslow voice, Ayu clenched her hands and looked at her.

Looking at each other, the woman who was called Aunt Zhang by Su was slightly stunned, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Seeing her reflection, Su knew that the first level had passed.

"Auntie, people are selected according to your conditions, if that family can't be chosen, you can also arrange a suitable place to go, and you must not place it casually. It's a girl from my mother's village, and my family has suffered, otherwise I would have gone this way. ”

Zhang Yayu bowed his head, let the hunchbacked woman lead people in, and took Su Shi to a small room next to him.

Ayu didn't know what other transactions the two had in private, and she understood it, and she passed her eyes and came to the Zheng'er Bajing City through the hands of the Su family, waiting for the next family to choose.

The ordinary courtyard is not big, looking at it only once, Ayu secretly glanced twice, the doors of the left and right wings were locked, and there were some people peeking at the window.

The little girls in it were of different heights, all of them had thin and small faces the size of palms, and their eyes were open and scrutinized, lifeless and uneasy.

Among these people, there should be some people like themselves, who have no choice but to leave home, or are forcibly sent out.

Before this, Ayu didn't have much self-consciousness, but now she is completely awake, and now it is different from the past, and her future fate is not up to her.

"Let's go in, stay here for the next few days."

The hunchbacked woman opened the door, and Ayu stepped into the small fragment, which was not empty, and there were already three people living in it.

These three people are not as thin as the ones seen earlier, they are old and young, but they all have one thing in common, their faces are round and slightly fat.

Think about yourself like this, and you are the same as them.

The door of the room was soon locked again, and Ayu looked at the two rows of shops against the wall, and found the innermost place to put down the baggage.

The musty room and the bedding seem to have been abandoned, old and trendy with stains.

Ayu tidied up silently, and when everything was cleaned up, she found that the other three were staring at her without blinking for a moment.

In their eyes, the new girl was a bit weird. When they come here, they will first secretly feel sad, how can this person accept it calmly.

"Hey, what's your name?"

Zhao Xuan, who was sitting by the window, spoke, her age was similar to Ayu, her body was the thinnest among several people, except for the round face, she could only be said to be slightly plump in other places.

This has nothing to do with fat, but looks noble and rich, full of blessings, like the daughter of a rich family.

Ayu couldn't understand why such a person appeared here, she replied softly, "My name is Bai Yu, everyone can call me Ayu." ”

"Bai Yu, this name is quite worthy of you." Zhao Yu's tone was a little picky, "I said, how did you get here?" ”

"The family is poor."

Ayu didn't want to answer her, but she wasn't used to causing trouble, and these three people came before her, so it's hard to say whether they have been grouped, so it's better to keep a low profile if you think about it.

"You're still poor like this?"

Zhao Yu couldn't help laughing, and the eyes that looked at Ayu were a little weirder.

Ayu has nothing to say, and she has no intention to explain that she has been able to eat vegetarian food since she was a child, and the life of a natural fat rabbit doesn't make sense to ordinary people.

The one in the corner of the wall was like a stuffy gourd, and Zhao Hua didn't look for anything behind him, sitting on the bunk in a bored daze.

At noon, the previous hunchback woman brought food in.

One steamed bun per person, plus half a jar of cold water.

In the next few days, the days are also like this, and the people are afraid that the little girls will run away and cause trouble, unless they are brought out, they will easily not open the door and let the wind out, and they will eat and drink Lazar inside, and the taste will not be mentioned.

These days, there are also three people in the house where Ayu is located, not only the color is good, but they are also slightly chubby.

When I came here before, I saw the situation in the other house, and Ayu thought to herself, they were specially classified.
