Hongluan pressed against the wall tightly, her head tilted to the side, let her hair hang down to cover her face, and tried to prop up her ears to listen to the sound outside the door, fortunately the crying in the room was not very loud, she could faintly hear a large part of it; And there are only two sentences she cares about the most:

"Master Liu, the kiln has said that as long as you fancy one person, you will give ten taels of silver, and you will see the goods in three days."

"Well, you go and rest, you still have to be careful at night, don't be careless, the house is full of white flowers." As he spoke, he coughed silently, and he couldn't breathe.

"Dead girl, raising you is a money-losing goods, you know how to eat, eat! What is the use of raising a pig and selling it for money? If you don't send me food, you'll die if you don't eat one bite less. The woman's top-notch voice didn't need to be listened to by Hongluan at all, she didn't want to listen to what this woman said.

Hongluan knew that the woman was Liu Da's house-filling wife, but what she was scolding was the eldest daughter Chun'er left behind by Liu Da's dead wife's room; She couldn't hear Liu Da and Wu Monkey's words, so she sat down slowly, lowered her head and didn't move, looking like the other girls in the room.

The door was pushed open after a short time, and I heard Chun'er say viciously: "Don't let me get out of two, you want me to serve you cheap girls." Every time she was beaten, scolded or in a bad mood by her stepmother, she would take out her anger at Hongluan, a girl who had been deceived and stolen.

Hongluan didn't move, and two of the older ones in the room got up and went out, and then she heard the crisp sound of her palms thumping, and when the two who had gone out came back, each of them had red and swollen faces, and the other put down something and stroked his arm: it must have been pinched or twisted.

Chun'er didn't leave, she then came in and glanced at the people in the house, and then went over and pulled Hongluan's hair: "Didn't you see the girl I came in?" You don't even stand up, if the girl doesn't teach you a lesson, you won't know how thick the sky is. After speaking, he raised his hand to Hongluan's face and was about to hit it.

Chun'er's face is very unsightly now, and the two handprints are clear; But she didn't dare to do anything to her stepmother, in front of her stepmother she was like a mouse who had only seen a cat, and she didn't dare to breathe; So she can only vent her anger on Hongluan, the poor girls who are locked up in the house to be sold.

Just as Chun'er's hand was raised high, Hongluan suddenly stretched out her hands and pushed her hard.

Hongluan has been begging for a living since her parents died in the flood, and she didn't want to starve to death, and she fought with the dog - although she was bitten to the blood, she still grabbed half of the cold nest; The life of begging taught her that if she wanted to live, she could not be bullied, otherwise she would either be beaten to death or starved to death.

Chun'er didn't just start bullying the girls who were locked up today, she has always been beaten by her, and people can only cry and beg for mercy: it is that crying sound that can make her feel a little better, otherwise beating people is also extremely tiring, and she is really too lazy to do anything to these girls; But I didn't expect that someone would dare to beat her today!

She was pushed back a few steps back and fell to the ground on her back, although she was not injured, she fell very painfully, and immediately got up and stared at Hongluan and scolded: "You cheap girl dare to hit me? Although her father didn't like her very much at home, and her stepmother beat and scolded her every day, she was the queen in front of Hongluan and these girls, and of course she was extremely angry when she was beaten.

Hongluan didn't answer, just stared at Chun'er viciously; Her gaze was like that of a hungry wolf, exuding a murderous aura.

She has fought with beggars, and she has fought with vicious dogs, and the most powerful opponent is, of course, vicious dogs; And the experience she gained from competing with vicious dogs is that as long as it is a dog raised by people, the more evil it is, the more you can't show a trace of fear.

The dog is staring at you with a fierce gaze, and you have to meet it with an even more ferocious gaze! When it opens its mouth and barks, you have to be louder than it. Many times, the vicious dog itself will leave its nest and run away with its tail between its legs. And this is especially true when you meet a beggar, you must be more fierce than him; It is with these Hongluan that she can survive a year alone, surviving the winter that is so long that she thought it would never pass and spring will not come again.

So when Chun'er pointed at her at this time, she greeted her without showing weakness, never retreating a step, and she had no fear at all.

Although Chun'er has watched her father do evil since she was a child, she has never been out of the house, and she is just an eleven or twelve-year-old girl. was immediately shocked by Hongluan's heart, but after reacting, she was even more annoyed: "You dare to look at me like this, look at me, look at me......" She looked left and right and grabbed a broom and grabbed it: "See if I don't kill you!" ”

Hongluan rushed over one step earlier, pressed Chun'er's shoulders hard with both hands and pushed her backwards, and pushed Chun'er to her back against the wall, Hongluan stared at her viciously and asked, "Who are you going to kill?" She opened her mouth to reveal two rows of white teeth, which she grinded gently.

Chun'er looked at the fierce light in Hongluan's eyes, her eyes were red with fright, and her voice also cried: "No, don't kill anyone." She was frightened by Hongluan's gaze and bared teeth, for fear that Hongluan would bite her if she said the wrong thing.

Hongluan stared at her eyes for a long time: "Who do you really want to kill?" The fierce light did not decrease by half a point, and the fierceness in his tone increased by three points.

Chun'er nodded hurriedly: "Really, really." She was frightened, and her eyes were already a little moist; But she still didn't cry, much better than the girls who were so frightened that they fell to the ground and sat in the pit.

Hongluan finally slowly withdrew her hand, then reached out and gently patted Chun'er's clothes, and then flattened her clothes before saying, "Well, that's good; I'm too timid to hear the dead word, so I didn't scare Sister Chun'er, right? She looked quiet at this time, completely missing the ferocious appearance of wanting to eat people just now.

Chun'er looked at Hongluan, who changed her face so quickly, but she was cold from the bottom of her heart, and she only knew how to shake her head and shake her head again; It's not been a day or two since her father did things that hurt the heavens and reason, and it can be said that she has seen many kinds of girls, but there has never been one like Hongluan.

Hongluan held Chun'er's arm: "If Sister Chun'er doesn't blame me, then sit down and eat me a cup of atonement tea." "She used to be from a scholarly family, but now she thinks about everything in the past as if it was in a dream.

Chun'er didn't want to drink tea and she wanted to leave, but she didn't know why she didn't dare to say it, so she had to sit at the table with Hongluan and look at Hongluan in fear.

Hongluan has lived alone outside for so long, so she naturally knows that it is impossible to survive with only one ruthless word and one murderous word, and now she is still in the hands of the Liu family, although Chun'er is not favored by Liu and his wife, but she can't go too far, so the apology is certain, indicating that she has softened.

Chun'er listened to Hongluan say a few nice words, ate a few more sips of tea to settle down, and looked at Hongluan, who was low-eyed and pleasing to the eyes, and felt three points more comfortable: "Well, I'm leaving, I'm going over there to deliver food." After speaking, he got up and went out, and when he walked to the door, he turned around and glanced at Hongluan again, and there was clearly resentment in his eyes.

But she didn't dare to come in and make a move on Hongluan again, but she couldn't swallow this breath: she had never suffered such a big loss in the hands of a prisoner like Hongluan; The reason why she was not convinced was that Hongluan was almost the same age as her.

Hongluan smiled softly at Chun'er's resentful gaze, but laughed seven points coldly, making Chun'er turn her head quickly in surprise.

Things have been in Hongluan's hands since the beginning: if she had softened from the beginning, Chun'er would never spare her, and she would definitely let Hongluan go until she had enough fun and let go of her stepmother's resentment; But Hongluan took the first action to restrain her - daring to do something to Chun'er was to know that she would not ask for help, because Chun'er's stepmother would definitely beat Chun'er first and then find Hongluan to settle the account.

Next, Hongluan took soft tea again, in order not to let Chun'er hold too much grudge against her, at least on the surface, and not to make too much trouble.

How to say that Chun'er is also a member of the Liu family, and it is certainly not a good thing for Hongluan to make a big fuss; And Hongluan didn't want Chun'er to think about what she thought every day, how to rectify her and take revenge.

Now I believe that Chun'er doesn't dare to mess around for the time being, because Hongluan once said softly in her ear when she apologized: "What would happen if Mrs. Liu knew what Sister Chun'er had done in our house?" ”

Liu Da's wife really learned what Chun'er had done, and she would definitely break Chun'er's leg; Of course, Hongluan is inevitably punished, but Liu Da will not hurt her: because she is Liu Da's silver - Chun'er understands this, and Hongluan also understands; So Chun'er could only leave with hatred.

Hongluan returned to the table, took his own dry food and water, and sat back in the corner, no longer speaking; None of the girls in the house dared to grab food with Hongluan, because they had already learned a lesson, but no one thought that she would dare to fight Chun'er.

Hongluan didn't bother to pay attention to the girls in the house, and now she was full of thoughts: Of course she knew what the kiln was, and if she was sold to that kind of place, how could she be worthy of her parents under Jiuquan? They're all face-loving people.

Even if she has been a beggar, she is still an innocent daughter's family, and she must not let Liu Da and others ruin her life.

She was just forced to survive and beg for a way to survive, and she naturally had to return to her original face in the future, otherwise she would not have begged all the way to the capital; It's not that she wants to come to the capital, and she won't fall into the hands of Wu Monkey, let alone be locked up in this hut by the people of the Liu family.

It's useless to think about the past, and the most important thing at the moment is how to think of an escape; Hongluan glanced up at the girls in the room, and saw their tear-stained faces, and cowering, and knew that she couldn't count on it: if you wanted to discuss the escape with them, you would undoubtedly kill yourself.

Only rely on her own words: Hongluan glanced at the house where there was nothing except the table and the earthen kang, and finally looked at the doors and windows that were sealed outside, not to mention that she didn't have the strength to break the doors and windows, even if she had that strength, she would alarm the people of the Liu family, and she wouldn't be able to leave at all.

Not to mention others, even Wu Monkey can't beat her.

Now that she has offended Chun'er again, looking at her gaze, she also knows that she will not let herself go, Hongluan bit her lip gently: Is there a better way to escape?
