Ruixue, who had cried in the room for a long time, woke up after fainting in pain. She only felt that her feet hurt terribly, like a fire, and tried to turn her feet slightly, but she felt a convulsive pain.

She struggled to sit up, her hands tearing at the strips of cloth on her feet. It's a pity that the sewing is too tight and dense, and she can't untie it at all.

"Daddy! Daddy! ”

Ruixue cried helplessly.

My feet hurt so much that I couldn't even touch the ground with my feet, but I didn't feel the stinging pain when I put them on the ground before they were stressed.

gritted his teeth and propped himself up, but he didn't stand at all, and fell directly to the ground. The cone-like pain stimulated Ruixue's young body and heart, and tears couldn't help but flow out again.

"Daddy, Daddy! My feet hurt. ”

The hoarse and dry voice couldn't help but be delicate, but there was no response.

Ruixue sobbed, wondering why her father ignored her. In the past, as long as she was a little unhappy, her father would coax her in every possible way, and if she cried, her father would be even more sad. She heard others say that when she was half a year old, her father wanted to take her away from the Zhao family. It was because she cried that she was reluctant that her father stayed. But why doesn't my father hurt her today?

Ruixue, who had been crying for a long time, had a dry mouth, and she stared at the teapot on the table.

I really want to drink water. After crying for a long time, my throat and eyes began to smoke. She swallowed her saliva, pursed her parched lips, and crawled to the table leg little by little, holding the table leg with both hands and trying to stand up a little bit, but she didn't want her feet to hurt and struggle.

"!" Ruixue fell to the ground for the third time, and she sobbed.

My feet hurt, I was thirsty, but my lower abdomen was getting bigger and bigger, and I wanted to go to the toilet, but I was so uncomfortable. She pursed her lips and tried to tighten her legs, but it was really uncomfortable.

"Daddy, Daddy! Ruixue wants Daddy! ”

Ruixue cried again, and she slowly crawled to the door, banging on the door, trying to get someone's attention.

*

Zhao Xihou ran wildly at any cost, and he began to doubt the purpose of reading. He thinks he can't do anything by reading, so what is he doing with reading? He thought about being a good official who was the master of the people, and the book said all about benevolence, righteousness, and virtue, but the book didn't say what to do when he encountered a foot binding! He can't even solve this, how can he still make decisions for the people, and what books do he still read.

The more Zhao Xihou thought about it, the more disappointed he felt in the book, so many books were useless.

He kicked the wall in disgust.

I faintly heard someone crying, why are so many people crying! He was depressed and wanted to turn his head, but he heard:

"Daddy, my feet hurt, come and save Ruixue!"

It was as if his feet were pinned and he couldn't move. He seemed to hear Zhao Xiyun's cry, he hated him, he hated! hating herself for not being able to save her alone; I hate that I have read so many books and written so many words, but I have no way at all.

"Daddy, Ruixue don't wrap her feet, come back quickly!"

Foot binding. This is another kid with bound feet? Zhao Xihou hated to death. He can't save his sister, he can't save his sister, can't he save this child?

Following the sound, Zhao Xihou found the place where the voice came from.

The closed wooden door, from which the child's muttering cry came.

"Daddy! Hurt! Daddy! Ruixue wants Daddy! ”

The girl's cry broke Zhao Xihou's heart, he patted the door locked from the outside, and shouted inside, "Who are you?" ”

When Rui Xue heard someone outside, her spirit was shocked, and tears flowed out again: "I'm Rui Xue." Help me, my feet hurt! ”

"The door is locked, how can I open it!"

As soon as the words came out, Zhao Xihou felt that he was extremely stupid, how could he say such a thing.

Sure enough, as soon as Rui Xue heard Zhao Xihou's words, she cried again.

Suddenly gave himself a head door, Zhao Xihou searched around, found a stone and smashed it towards the door lock. Unfortunately, the stone was too small to be of any use.

Zhao Xihou looked around, and finally looked at the window. However, the windows here were different from those in his place, and they were divided into small lattices from top to bottom, and his hand could not reach into them at all to open the windows.

He poked open the window paper, pressed against the window and looked inside. I saw a small figure leaning against the door, shrugging his shoulders and crying.

"Little sister, here, here."

Ruixue turned around and struggled to move a little, and saw a big boy in the window.

Zhao Xihou was afraid that she wouldn't be able to see herself, so he hurriedly waved his hand and signaled to her: "Here, here." You open the window, and I'll save you. ”

The windows over there can be opened. Ruixue struggled to get up, climbed onto the chair, then onto the table, and opened the window.

I only saw the girl fall, and her feet were not strong at all, and she couldn't stand up at all.

"Are you alright?!"

Ruixue, who wiped her tears, blew her broken palm and sobbed: "No ...... It's okay! She said that it was okay, tears flowed uncontrollably, and her palms were cut, and her hands trembled in pain.

"Broken hand? Is there any bleeding? You don't move. ”

Ruixue slowly knelt up with her hands on the ground, gritting her teeth, gasping and propping her right foot on the ground in pain.

"It hurts!"

His body shook slightly, almost unable to hold on, and his palm rubbed the ground again.

The scorching pain burned again.

Zhao Xihou heard her cry out "pain" and asked, "It's broken again?" ”

"Hmm!" Ruixue answered weakly, snorting in pain.

Thinking of the feeling of his palm being scratched, Zhao Xihou felt a special pain, and he hurriedly called Rui Xue: "Don't move, I'll think about it." ”

Ruixue didn't listen to Zhao Xihou.

Prop yourself up, kneel again, use your strength to prop your right foot on the ground, endure the pain of your heart, and wait for the soles of your feet to adapt. Slowly, I was able to prop up my left leg. I've already had an experience, so be careful and careful.

When she was able to squat on both feet, she put her hands on the wall and slowly stood up. With a shake, she fell to the ground again.

"Be careful!" Zhao Xihou, who was standing in front of the window, could only cry out anxiously.

"Hmm!" Ruixue's forehead still hit the table leg, and she cried again in pain.

Zhao Xi asked anxiously and loudly, "How is it, how is it?" I told you not to move, I'll think about it, why don't you listen! What the hell, don't cry! ”

Ruixue just covered her forehead and cried.

Zhao Xihou hurriedly said: "Don't cry!" Don't cry! Sick of it! ”

Ruixue was frightened by his loud scolding, and hurriedly shut down, but she didn't want to burp, one after another. Ruixue looked at Zhao Xihou at a loss and cried again.

At this time, Ruixue wanted to find her father quickly: "Daddy, daddy." Not! ”

"Don't cry! Don't cry! ”

But where did Rui Xue listen to him, his little shoulders shrugged and shrugged, so thin.

Zhao Xi was anxious, thinking about how to coax her. His eyes fell on the purse on his waist. By the way, there were candy seeds here, and he hurriedly untied his purse and stuffed it into the little compartment.

"Little sister, give you candy. It's sweet and sour, but it's delicious, and it won't hurt if you eat one. ”

Sugar. Rui Xue looked at the purse thrown in by Zhao Xihou with tears in her eyes, and then met the anxious and bright eyes, she stopped crying, said "um" softly, slowly crawled over, and took the purse in her hand.

"I've never tasted such delicious hawthorn candy, you can taste it." Zhao Xihou suddenly saw the little girl's eyes, with tears in them, watery, it could speak, telling him how much she hurt. He just felt that he couldn't make this little sister hurt a little more.

Zhao Xihou said as he spoke, but his two eyes looked around, hoping to find something that could be used quickly. Seeing that Rui Xue was just holding the purse and not opening it, he urged: "Open it quickly!" It's delicious. There was a pause, and then he said, "You eat ....... uh...... Eat four ...... Three, you eat three, and when you eat all three hawthorn candy, I can open this window! ”

Rui Xue opened the purse according to her words, picked one and put it in her mouth.

As soon as she entered her mouth, she knew that it was hawthorn candy, which was a gadget she often ate. The sweetness and sourness in her mouth immediately stimulated the saliva in her mouth, and she only felt that her mouth was full of freshness.

"How? This candy is not bad! ”

Ruixue nodded: "Sweet and sour." ”

Zhao Xihou smiled and said, "I knew you would definitely like it." ”

Ruixue swallowed the sugar, nodded, and looked at Zhao Xihou outside the window in a daze. She felt that this brother was very good, not only rescued herself, but also gave candy to eat.

Zhao Xihou saw that she was just looking at herself, a little embarrassed, scratched her head, and asked, "What do you like to eat the most?" ”

Rui Xue raised the purse in her hand and said, "I like to eat hawthorn candy the most, and my father makes it delicious." ”

"Really? Let me taste it. However, the cook at home is not very good, and today's crab roe soup dumplings are unpalatable. ”

Ruixue shook her head and retorted. If she talks about eating, she is the first one, her father will make so much food, she has eaten everything, of course she knows what is the best to eat.

Zhao Xihou just said this, but he wanted to coax Ruixue not to cry, but he didn't want to meet someone who could talk to him about food, so he suddenly became discouraged, and said with a smile: "That thing will change its flavor when it is cold." If you like it, Ming'er is fifteen, I will invite you to eat, and then let people make fried crab roe again, but ......" he scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Wait until I open this window!" ”

Zhao Xihou's actions provoked a burst of crisp laughter from Ruixue.

His face flushed, and he hurriedly looked around for tools to open the window. But in my heart, I thought that the little girl's voice was so good.

What should I use?

Hatchet! He finds an axe.

Zhao Xihou, who moved a small wooden bench, cut the window on the ground at once, as long as he cut that one, his hand could reach in and open the window pin, and he could climb in.

Rui Xue suddenly said with an embarrassed face: "Little brother, can you hurry up?" My feet hurt. Hiccup~"

Zhao Xihou nodded and slashed hard. The axe in his hand was fast, but he could barely move it, and it took a lot of effort to swing it.

Zhao Xihou was becoming more and more disappointed with books at this time, what should I do if he didn't even write about such an important thing in the book, what kind of book is it called, bullshit!

Somehow, he thought of Sima Guang smashing the cylinder. It is said that Sima Guang smashed the cylinder and wrote the Zizhi Tongjian, and he cut down this window today and didn't know what big things he could do.

He laughed at the thought of this.

Rui Xue could laugh when she saw him cut a window, and said suspiciously: "Little brother? ”

"It's nothing, I just think of the things in the books. Do you have a terrible foot pain? ”

Ruixue nodded, she wanted to go to the toilet more now.

Fang Cai didn't want to be okay, but when she thought about it, she only felt that her stomach was uncomfortably swollen, and she couldn't help crying.

Zhao Xihou saw that he had provoked Ruixue to cry again, so he hurriedly stopped, and said embarrassedly: "Little sister, don't cry!" I didn't mean to make you cry. Don't cry, I'll compensate you. Belch...... Punish me. Penalize...... I'll tell you a joke. ”

Rui Xue has always liked to listen to stories, and when she heard him say this, she wiped her tears and stared at Zhao Xihou.

Zhao Xihou thought for a while and told a joke he saw in a book: "In ancient times, there was a man in the country of Lu who entered the city gate with a long pole, and at first he erected it and held it, but he couldn't enter the city gate, and he came over to hold it, and he couldn't enter the city gate, and the man was in a hurry. After a while, an old man came here and said, 'I am not a sage, but I have seen a lot of things, so why don't I cut off the rod with a saw and enter the gate?' So the Lu man followed the old man's method and cut off the long pole. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Rui Xue said, "Why don't you hold it straight in your hand?" Hiccup~ That's it, so don't you have to cut off the rod? Belch! ”

Zhao Xihou looked at Rui Xue's gesture and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up: "You are so smart, the first time I heard this story, I didn't expect it, and I thought that old man was very powerful." ”

Ruixue said dissatisfiedly: "It's not funny at all. ”

Zhao Xihou was a little stunned: "Isn't it funny?" Why don't you tell me a joke? ”

Rui Xue swallowed the hawthorn candy, tilted her head and thought about it, clapped her hands and smiled: "Let me tell the old lady what the old lady said." It is said that there is a person who learns to read. The father and son taught him to recognize one, so he drew a horizontal line on the paper, saying that it was a ......."

Zhao Xihou knew what story Rui Xue was telling at the beginning, but he still listened patiently, and laughed twice cooperatively: "It's funny." I have another one here. When someone suddenly fell ill at night, he hurriedly called the servant to make a fire and light a candle. In the middle of the night, it was pitch black, and the servant was busy for a long time without lighting a fire, but the master asked questions over and over again. So, the servant said angrily: It really makes no sense for you to ask so urgently. Now it's pitch black, why don't you bring fire to me? In this way, wouldn't it be easier for me to find a drill machine? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Rui Xue "giggled" and laughed: "This person is really interesting." ”

"Interesting! Say it again! ”
