After a long while, Xue Ruifang stopped whimpering and sobbed, "Yes...... I'm sorry, I'm ...... for a moment I felt a little uncomfortable for a while. Her tears were still falling, but her voice was more coherent: "My grandmother is dead, I am alone, I ...... I didn't even know where she was buried, and no one told me when I asked. I'm scared...... I'm afraid, I'm afraid that if I die, I'll be the same as Mama, I don't know where to be thrown away......"

Her body trembled violently, her face turned pale, and she stopped crying.

Chen Ying sighed silently.

If Xue Rui hadn't fled by himself, if Chen Ying hadn't appeared, the final disposition of Xue Rui by the Zhongyong Mansion, I'm afraid it would be like this.

There are many ways to let a girl with a dirty body die silently.

Escaping, giving up the identity of a noble girl, and seeking shelter from outsiders, Xue Rui made this decision, which was not so easy.

Many times, it takes more courage to live than to die.

Xue Rui has come all the way, and the difficulty of his road and the pain of his heart are difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Chen Ying stood up, walked to her side, gently hugged the poor girl, and said softly:

"Miss Xue, don't be sad, don't be afraid. As long as I'm here, as long as the shelter is there, you'll always have somewhere to go. You won't be left behind, and you'll not be cornered. Don't worry, I will protect you and those like you. ”

She said this very softly, as if she was saying it to Xue Rui, and as if she was talking to herself.

Dedicated to the protection of the whole life.

Chen Ying didn't know if she could do it.

Perhaps, one day, the girls' school will become an outlier of the Great Chu Dynasty, and she will not be tolerated in the world, and she will be physically and mentally exhausted and return to her original place; Or, for a small reason, the shelter would be shattered, along with herself.

However, if he gave up halfway just because of the possible results, Chen Ying asked himself if he couldn't do it.

She's going to have to give it a try.

She always wants to see where the end of that road is, and she always wants to see where she can go, and she wants to know where she will end up.

As Mr. Detective once said, no matter how difficult and foggy the case is, you should not give up easily, because when you give up, it is likely that you are only one step away from the truth.

This single step is the driving force, supporting Chen Ying to continue to move forward.

"After a while, when the matter is over, you can go to the shelter, where there are also female masters, and they will teach you some skills." Chen Ying continued, her voice becoming softer and softer:

"If you want, when you feel better, you can also be a teacher in the kindergarten and teach those children to read nursery rhymes and learn to write."

Xue Rui is literate, and needlework is also good, on the way to Yantai, Chen Ying has seen her read and do needlework. For Chen Ying, this is another possible candidate for a teacher, and she is actually a little happy about her appearance.

"Actually, in my opinion, you yourself have the ability to support yourself. When you become a teacher, I still have to restrain you, and if you do well, at the end of each year, the school will give bonuses to the masters. Chen Ying said again and gently patted Xue Rui's shoulder.

This is not an illusory consolation, but a future that can be expected in reality.

Xue Rui is not without a long body, at least, here in Chen Ying, she has enough ability to live.

And as long as you live, there's always hope, isn't it?

I don't know if these words played a role, or if she was attracted by the prospect depicted by Chen Ying, Xue Rui gradually became quieter, snuggling up to Chen Ying and not crying anymore.

Chen Ying patted her again, then helped her sit down again, pushed the teacup on the table over, and said softly: "Drink some tea first, and when it's time to eat, you should eat more." ”

Xue Rui nodded, her eyes were red, and she wanted to cry again.

It's been a long, long time since she was defiled, and no one has treated her like this.

calmly and kindly, not looking at her in a strange light, but seeing her as an ordinary person.

It turns out that sometimes, it is also a great happiness to be able to be an ordinary person, live an ordinary life, and exist inconspicuously in the crowd.

Xue Rui sniffed hard, endured the tears, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.

The warm tea slid down her throat into her chest and abdomen, making her heart ache, her nose was slightly sore, and her eye circles were red again.

Chen Ying didn't seem to notice her emotions at the moment, sat back safely, and drank tea from the teacup, while talking to her leisurely:

"I have already told Sister-in-law Shen in the village that there are just two girls in their family, both of whom are over ten years old, so I transferred them over to serve you for a while. Besides, the female guard who came with the girls' school, I also asked her to stay and protect you, do you think? ”

Xue Rui has a very serious psychological trauma, in addition to some emotional manifestations, she also has an extraordinary dislike, or fear, of men, and often falls into deep self-blame.

This kind of self-blame is also the most common symptom of women who have been injured by violence, and if they are not properly managed, it will eventually lead to depression.

Chen Ying was very worried that Xue Rui would eventually self-blame and self-destruct, so she kept Zhishi.

This girl is very careful, and she acts steadily, and having her by Xue Rui's side can somewhat comfort people's hearts.

In addition, Yantai Orchard is not a paradise, and Xue Rui is in the most sensitive and fragile period, so Chen Ying transferred a guard from the girls' school, hoping to relieve Xue Rui's tension through her presence.

"Thank you, Miss Chensan, I think...... I think it's good. Xue Rui's voice was not much louder than that of a mosquito, and she said with her head hanging low.

She still doesn't want to make eye contact, and Chen Ying has never made direct eye contact with her.

Her eyes are actually pretty good.

Chen Ying hopes that one day, she will be able to see the real smile in those eyes.

"When the meal is over, I'm going to leave for Penglai." Chen Ying said softly: "But don't worry, this orchard is privately placed by me, outsiders don't know that I have this property, you are very safe here, no one will find you, you can rest assured." ”

Xue Rui nodded, and the expression on his face was much more natural than before.

Chen Ying's arrangement is very thoughtful, and she has nothing to be dissatisfied with.

Seeing that her emotions had finally stabilized, Chen Ying's heart was slightly relieved, and after comforting her a few more words, she left.

At lunchtime, she was not with Xue Rui.

Xue Rui is still a little autistic now, and she is usually reluctant to see people, so Chen Ying asked someone to bring the food to her room, and called Zhishi again, and told her many things in detail before leaving the orchard.
