The horse's hooves step on the frost, and the speed is like flying.

On the official road from the capital to Huainan Road, a group of more than ten horses rode away.

The man at the head was thin and frightening, but he was very tall, followed by a man with a face like black coal, galloping his horse, and at the same time alerting the movements around him.

It was night, and the pedestrian passed by the outskirts of Jincheng.

The black charcoal asked, "Your Highness, did you go into the city to repair overnight?" ”

The thin man shook his head: "More is better than less, I'll wait here, you take two people into the city to change a few horses, and simply replenish them." ”

"Yes."

…………

Golden City, in an inconspicuous corner.

The clear sky is silent, and the stars are shining, illuminating the saliva on Shen Qiutan's cheeks.

Shen Qiutan, who was lying in the pepper pile and eating seastuffs in a dream, was picked up and locked in a small courtyard with a hanging mountain.

The dumb woman poured two or three bath buckets full of water, and threw seven girls ranging from four or five to eight or nine years old, including Shen Qiutan, into the bath buckets.

The dumb woman slapped the edge of the tub so hard that the crying girl didn't dare to cry anymore.

In the past three days, they have learned a lot.

Shen Qiutan was also held by those rough old hands, she made a look of not repulsion, but she didn't expect that as soon as the two skin touched, she seemed to see a new world.

She sees:

A woman in her thirties was sewing and mending her clothes, and the wick of the oil lamp was picked and picked up, reflecting her face becoming more and more gentle and loving, and her hands were slender and slender*** mending a round neck robe, which seemed to be sewn for small children.

Sure enough, as soon as the picture turned, a five or six-year-old child jumped in, the woman gently coaxed the child to sleep, carefully looked at the oil lamp for a while, and seemed to be reluctant to use the lamp after all, so she also turned off the light and fell asleep with the child in her arms.

The dumb woman's hands kept scrubbing Shen Qiutan, and Shen Qiutan "saw" that the first "picture scroll" ended, and the second one began:

The woman went to the river to wash her clothes, and the child was left to be taken care of by her mother-in-law, but when she returned, she found that the child was gone! When the woman went to question her mother-in-law, she was scolded by her mother-in-law, and she searched the whole village, and a one-eyed old man at the head of the village whispered to her that her son was afraid that he had been abducted by a kidnapper.

From then on, the woman's life was turned upside down, and she began to look for the lost child, and for several years, her in-laws ordered her to have another child, and locked her up, but she escaped quietly at night, and never went back to the small mountain village that gave birth to her and raised her.

And she was a woman walking alone, looking for another three years, her son was not found, but she found another kidnapper, that is, Zhao Wen and Zhao Wu brothers.

At that time, she was more than twenty years older than three years ago, and she looked sluggish and stupid, and she couldn't speak.

This woman who has suffered a lot actually believes it, and she still believes that the Zhao family brothers are like the last straw held in the rolling torrent to her.

However, she helped her to commit crimes for another ten years, but she still failed to find her son.

Shen Qiutan looked at the dumb woman in a daze, and let those big rough hands rub her whole body red.

It turned out that this dumb woman was not yet fifty years old, and it turned out that her name was Ganlu, Lu Niang.

The rough hand took Shen Qiutan out, asked her to change into the clothes prepared next to her, and then continued to rub the next one.

Shen Qiutan was still staring at the side face of the dumb woman, it turned out that she was not born dumb.

The dumb woman glared at her, and she began to dress, this time the "ability" came a little big!

I can see other people's past.

It's so domineering, no wonder he even took back his strength and space, and he became a rookie.

The half-old door was knocked three times, and Zhao Wu's voice came: "Okay?" Visitor. ”

The mute woman dressed the youngest child, opened the door, and Zhao Wu led the person to the largest room in the middle.

In the past three days, Li Chong has also learned to be obedient, and when he saw Shen Qiutan, who was as round and white as glutinous rice dumplings after washing, his eyes lit up, and then a touch of melancholy appeared.

Shen Qiutan stared at Zhao Wu's exposed wrist, well, let's find a way to grab it in a while! Look at how many hurtful things this guy has done.

"Distinguished guests, please." Zhao Wen bent his head and led a group of people into the house.

The leader wore a crown of three mountains, stepped on foundation soap boots, covered his face with thin powder, bowed his back slightly, but his head was raised high, and he looked proud.

Shen Qiutan licked his lips, this is a eunuch, right?

Bending over and arching the back is a habit that has been dyed over the years, and being arrogant is probably a one-time achievement, and once you are arrogant, you can't control it.

"Your Excellency, please take a seat!"

Zhao Wen and the eunuch sat together, Zhao Wu and the two people behind the eunuch sat on the left and right, and there were four strong men who seemed to be guards standing beside the eunuch.

"Tell them to come closer, and give me a good look!" As soon as he spoke, his voice was slightly sharp, and he was undoubtedly a eunuch.

Zhao Wen gave him a look, and Zhao Wu and the dumb woman drove the dozen and a half old children to the middle.

Shen Qiutan shrank behind Li Chong, but Li Chong did not rashly appear at this time, but hung his head a little to dodge.

The eunuch looked at the people one by one carefully, looked at them three or four in a row, shook his head and said, "This product has not been trained, but it really can't be done." ”

Zhao Wen accompanied him carefully, and motioned to Zhao Wu to push Shen Qiutan and Li Chong forward: "You can take a look again...... There are several more to come! No, when I go back to Yangzhou, I'll send you a few more trained ones, and they can still stand up to blasphemy. ”

"Humph! Yangzhou? You can wait, my dad can't wait! But the eunuch didn't bother to look at the rest of the boys.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhao Wen wiped his sweat and took out a palm-sized yellow pear bird pattern square box and a purse embroidered with eight treasure gourds: "The items in this box ...... It is the villain's filial piety to Father-in-law Qiu...... Please also ask your father-in-law to forward it on your behalf, this purse is for Xiao Qiu's father-in-law, and please ask your father-in-law to accept it with a smile. "The eunuch recognized the big eunuch Qiu Yuanzhen as his godfather, and even changed his surname, so it is more appropriate to call him Father-in-law Qiu.

Xiao Qiu's father-in-law took the thing, first pinched the purse that he said was for him, there was not much in it, like only one or two thin pieces of paper, needless to say, it must be a silver ticket, hum, it was an acquaintance, he couldn't help but be a little satisfied, and then looked at the small square box of Huanghuali: "This is ...... But ......"

Zhao Wen nodded, Qiu Yuanzhen is a eunuch, but he likes to play with six or seven-year-old boys the most, and he can start a business as a kidnapper, relying on the pills researched by the medicine woman, and the small square box contains the things that the medicine woman developed for these rootless people.

The two of them tacitly agreed, Xiao Qiu's father-in-law felt comfortable, and he was a little satisfied when he saw people, he touched Li Chong's face:

"This is good, but I look at it a little kind......
