Just like when she escaped from Qinglou six years ago, Yu Yao ran on Qianmo in Longzhong.

She ran fast, even though her face was full of tears, but she didn't wipe them away.

She ran for two days and two nights, crossed the stream, crossed the ditch, and went around and around to return to Licheng.

The difference is that this time she has no package, no entanglement, no nobles and no shelter.

She walked the streets of Licheng, the streets she knew no longer familiar, the places she had wanted to escape. There seemed to be Ning Qing's voice in her ears: "...... Just run, run out and be free. ”

Where do you go? Yu Yao smiled bitterly, in the end, she was still pushed away by everyone.

She dragged her tired body and planted it on the street, what she didn't pay attention to was the building next to her, and there were three big characters written on the door plaque, "Xiaoxiang Building".

It's really ironic, the small green building that Yu Yao escaped from back then is now thriving, and it has become the largest green building in Licheng, and it has been decorated several times, and now it has changed its name, if it weren't for the familiar fat face of Qinglou's mother when she opened her eyes, Yu Yao would never believe it.

"Yo, the girl woke up, I saw the girl fall in front of my store, and when the others saw it, they thought our family was doing a black business, so they moved the girl in privately." With a smirk as always, Yu Yao turned her head away, and when she saw that her clothes had been changed, she hurriedly covered herself and looked at her in horror.

"Ouch, don't worry, girl, I asked the mother-in-law below to change the girl's clothes, the girl's original set is unwearable, all broken."

"Thank you ......"

The mother narrowed her eyes and said, "The girl is so familiar, haven't you seen it?" In the early years, a thick girl escaped from our store, not to see the girl, but the girl is a little similar to the girl. Come to think of it, that girl is about the same age as the girl now. ”

Yu Yao was silent.

The mother continued to laugh and said: "How can a girl dare to run around alone without some entanglements, is it looking for relatives?" Or looking for a job? Listen to my advice, it's better to go home early, if you are looking for relatives, how can you find it if you don't have money; If you are looking for a job, all the shops on this street will not accept women......"

Na Yuyao didn't listen much, got out of bed straight, and walked outside without looking back.

Mom smiled contemptuously in the room and muttered, "Come back sooner or later." ”

Yu Yao asked one shop after another, and sure enough, none of the shops were willing to accept female workers, and even the only embroidery room waved her hand and said that there was no shortage of manpower.

So she crouched in the corner, trying to learn from the beggar. But what she didn't expect was that when people saw that her clothes were newer and her body was clean, they only thought that she was just a charlatan, and even made faces at her and threw vegetable leaves.

I have to say that the beggar gang in Licheng is still well-trained, almost every beggar has divided his own territory, seeing Yu Yao rashly inserted, he directly threw the rice bowl, picked up the stick and wanted to hit her head, and the frightened Yu Yao crawled and rolled away.

I also thought about selling songs, calligraphy and paintings, but I didn't have the money to buy pen and paper, and secondly, I came to patrol the city every day, and when I saw begging and selling art, both men and women had to beat, and those beggars knew the rules, if people came, they would run, and if they were caught, they would be released if they were caught. This Yuyao didn't understand after all, so she was directly caught and punched and kicked.

She had not eaten, and she had been beaten, and she was so weak that she fell to the ground, her eyes wide open, and she could not speak anything.

After all, she was rescued by Qinglou's mother and fed liquid food, and after about an hour, she finally had the strength to speak.

"What, don't you run? Wasn't it possible to run six years ago? The mother saw that Yu Yao had regained some blood, so she went up and slapped her, and Yu Yao's face instantly left a terrifying red mark, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.

Yu Yao didn't resist, she didn't have the strength to resist, she just used a faint breath and said repeatedly, "Let me stay......"

"Stay? Why? Are you better than an animal or what? Leave you? I have to watch out for one more mouth to eat, will I run away? The mother was about to slap her again.

"I can...... Let you ...... Earned ...... It's a lot of money. ”

The mother's hand was stunned in the air, then she took it back and smiled.

"Clean up a clean house for the new girl."

Three months later, "Caged Bird" was sung on the stage of Xiaoxianglou, and on that day, the audience was full, but wherever there was a gap were spectators, and the name of Li City was shocked.

People remembered this girl named Yu Yao, her singing voice, her piano skills and her "Caged Bird".

sighed at the caged bird, who didn't know that it was Yu Yao.

...

...

Yu Yao died in the spring of her twenty-seventh year, made a rope out of clothes and bedding, hung herself on the beams of the house, and hanged herself.

...

...

She returned to Xiaoxianglou, the food and accommodation were the best, the guests liked her, and the old slave also treated her as a daughter. She's been on fire for five years! This is unprecedented, just by virtue of her song, five years! The girls in the building are all eating youth meals, and after twenty they can still make the guests worry about them, which is really rare. After speaking, my mother took the handkerchief, as if wiping her tears, and then felt that it was not realistic enough, so she shrugged her shoulders and snorted a few times.

Yin Xian counted with her fingers, "Twenty-three years old, Yu Yao left at the age of twenty-seven, so what have been the past few years?" ”

Mom sighed, "No matter how popular you are, the guests are always fresh, every year there are new girls in Xiaoxiang Building, and the teenagers are more pleasing." Twenty-somethings are considered old for us. If there is no one to redeem and no one to marry, the rest of your life will rot here. Yu Yao couldn't let go of her figure, and the old slave persuaded her that if she wanted to keep the guests, she had to make the guests happy and comfortable, there was no need to put it on the shelf. This girl is stubborn, she just doesn't listen. ”

Mom took a sip of tea and continued, "Hey, this girl, the old slave felt sad when she said it. There are fewer people who name her later, she is not as beautiful as before, those new girls are young and noisy, and they will make fun of her when they see that she is not majestic, Yuyao still can't hold her breath, who has to suffer some grievances here, she just can't think about it, it's really a pity......"

Yin Xian asked again, "What about the future?" ”

Mom hurriedly replied, "She didn't have any relatives, she only rolled it, and she was buried outside the city a few days ago, and the old slave wanted to give her some scenery, after all, it was a ...... to watch her grow up."

"Let's go." Duan Huanian pulled Yin Xian and went straight out.

The mother who left behind her waved a handkerchief and shouted in her voice, "The idle downstairs haven't come to deliver it yet!" Father! I'll come here again next time! ”

Out of Xiaoxiang Building, the sun has not yet set. The daily newspapers that had been all over the ground were swept away, and the shouts of the shops were still there.

Yin Xian tilted her head to look at Duan Huanian and asked, "What do you think of Mom's words?" ”

"Seven points true, three points false."

Yin Xian was a little lonely, "Most of the time this mother said hello to Xiaoyun Pavilion, Yuyao went, and she didn't forget to pull it out for a walk." Then he sighed,

"I don't know when she's gone, but she's still peaceful."

"It must be peaceful," Duan Huanian said, "do you know why she is a caged bird?" She had been trapped all her life, and now that she was gone, she finally became herself. ”
