At the end of the afternoon, the sky was getting darker and darker, as if I wanted to skip the middle hours and jump straight into the night.

The happy handlebar style, reminded again by the speechless condensation, reined in the horse with an embarrassed face. The car slowed down, turned slowly, and drove steadily towards the small intersection outside Zhuangzi.

Wang's Zhuangzi is located in the middle of Kyoto and the ancestral tomb of the Cui family, the location is average, the annual harvest is not good, but there is a lot of work to do. I don't know if it's because it's cloudy and about to rain, and I can't see anyone in the fields in the distance.

Ning Zhu asked the handlebar to come early tomorrow, and when he saw him leave slowly, he took Meng Hui and Ning Lu along the path and came to a small farm yard.

The middle-aged woman who came out had messy hair, a horse face, and the flesh was about to overflow from her face, and a pair of hanging eyes looked very shrewd. She was dressed in a dark blue cloth covered in oil, with a wide body and a fat body, and her hands and face were shiny, and she looked like she was working in the kitchen.

"I heard the magpie chirping early this morning, it turned out to be the third girl! Ouch, the two girls of Condensation and Condensation, the longer they grow, the more handsome they are! ”

Meng Hui found in his memory that this woman was the wife of Zhuangtou Lao Zheng, and she was a little close to Mama Li next to the Wang family, and the people in Cui's Mansion called her Aunt Zheng.

Cui Yuzhen didn't have much memory of Aunt Zheng, and she didn't have a good impression, Meng Hui simply pursed her lips and didn't speak, nodded reservedly, and walked to the empty courtyard next door under her greeting. As long as there is a master in the Cui Mansion, they will live here.

"The third girl is here to relax? Originally, the flowers on the back mountain were blooming well, but now it is going to rain, and the girl is afraid that she can only stay in the yard to play. Aunt Zheng was very enthusiastic on the surface, but her eyes swept over the simple old clothes of the three of them, and the corners of her mouth were slightly mocking.

Ning Zhu saw that Meng Hui had no intention of opening his mouth, put down the few small burdens he brought, and opened his mouth according to Meng Hui's instructions on the road. "We originally went to the ancestral grave to offer incense to the eldest girl, but we walked halfway and saw that the sky was not good, so we temporarily decided to settle here. It's inevitable that I'm going to bother Aunt Zheng tonight. ”

"Ouch, Miss Ningzhu, don't be so polite." Aunt Zheng stood up with a grin, her eyes rolled, and after waiting for a long time without a reward, her face fell. "What, I still have something to do in the kitchen, so I won't sit with the girls."

"Aunt Zheng!" Ning Zhu was still smiling, completely ignoring the other party's disdainful expression, and stepped forward to stop her. "I heard that Biqing and Bilan are on Zhuangzi, can you let them come over? I haven't seen it in a long time, and it's weird. ”

Aunt Zheng pursed her mouth without a trace, and she didn't bother to maintain her enthusiasm on the surface.

"They...... Hehe, too, you have enjoyed happiness together in the high family, where is there anything that you don't remember. I'm going to call them, but Miss Ningzhu, don't delay too long, they still have work to do. ”

Aunt Zheng strode away, Ning Zhu grimaced at her back, and turned back to the house. didn't wait long, there was a knock on the door outside, and Ning Lu opened the door to take a look, with surprise on his face, and brought the greatly changed Biqing and Bilan to Meng Hui.

Meng looked back at it, and almost didn't match the two people in front of him with the two people in his memory.

In the past, in Cui's Mansion, even if you didn't have enough food and clothing, at least you didn't have to do rough work and bask in the sun, and it looked white and tender, delicate and lovely.

Now, the soles and trousers of the two seventeen or eighteen girls are all dry yellow mud, their black and yellow hands are hidden in their sleeves and they don't want to show people, their pretty faces have become black and rough, and even their backs are not as straight as before.

"Turquoise, Turquoise, you ...... Sit down! "Ning Zhu wanted to say that you have suffered, but after thinking about it, what is the meaning of saying this? It's better not to mention it.

Ning Lu pursed her lips, glanced at the two of them melancholy, and went to another room to boil water and make tea.

Bi Young is a little older, with a round face, wet almond eyes, and looks like he wants to cry; Bilan was originally a melon seed face, but now she is thin and out of shape, and she works hard, so she has a lot of wrinkles at a young age.

The two of them greeted Meng Hui, and in front of familiar people, they finally came to their senses and were no longer so restrained.

"I heard Aunt Zheng say, the third girl is going to incense the eldest girl? Is the third girl well? It's time to go back slowly. Bi Qing wiped the corners of her eyes with her cuffs and squeezed out a smile, which was sad to look at.

Meng Hui nodded, not deliberately pretending to be cowering, but just lowering his voice. "I'm fine, out of the way. It's just that I didn't expect the weather to be bad, and I can't go this time. But I feel better to see you two. ”

Biqing and Bilan thought of Cui Yuying again, and silently shed tears for a while, and then heard Meng Hui open his mouth again.

"Biqing, I have something I want to ask you, it's about big sister and big brother, are you willing to talk to me in private, or just say it here?"

Bi Lan's eyes were confused, and Bi Qing's face changed when she was asked. "Three...... Three Girls...... I do not know...... Not sure what you're talking about. ”

Meng Hui raised his eyes and stared at her tightly, only to see Bi Qing's face with a complicated expression, biting her lip as if she didn't want to admit it no matter what. But her performance like this shows that she does know something.

"You and your big sister have been together since childhood, don't you want to find out the real culprit and let her feel at ease?"

When Bi Qing heard this, tears fell down, and she sobbed and said, "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't!" If we do, our girl's reputation will be ruined! Whimpering cries echoed through the hut, adding to the dead silence.

Condensation and Condensation stood aside at a loss, Bi Lan's face was full of surprise, and she stared at Bi Qing speechless. Meng Hui's hands tightened, and a terrible, disgusting thought flashed through his mind. "You mean...... Cui Da...... He ......"

Biqing's cry was very poignant, with unwillingness, and when she heard Meng Hui mention Cui Da, her eyes burst out with strong hatred. She gradually stopped crying, turned to look at Meng Hui, and finally nodded weakly.

"That beast is not as good as that! He began pestering the girl half a year ago, saying something out of tune, and ...... Also move your hands and feet! The scared girl didn't dare to leave the hospital easily, and she had to be with the third girl every time to dare to breathe the wind by the fish pond. ”

Half a year ago...... Meng recalled that it was when Cui Yuying's mood began to change. It turned out that her heart was so heavy and so unspeakable, no wonder Cui Yuzhen didn't know the reason.

No matter what era it is placed in, once you are entangled in this kind of thing, no matter how innocent and scared the woman is, the world will always say with disdain that "flies don't bite seamless eggs". This is the case in modern society, not to mention the dynasty in which Cui Yuying lived.

Meng Hui looked at Biqing, who was crying silently again, and finally knew why she wanted to take the wishful knot away.
