Su Qian lived in the Hua family for two years.

During this period, Hua Sanniang entered the Chazi camp.

Zhanjia's Cha Ziying was founded by Mrs. Gao. When Mrs. Gao founded Cha Ziying, the world was undecided, and she had not yet married into a family.

The ancestor of the Hua family was the first batch of female chazi under Mrs. Gao, and even the surname "Hua" was given by Mrs. Gao. Most of these people are orphans, some don't know their surnames, and some people know but are homeless, and don't want to use their original surnames anymore, just like Huo Roufeng named Lan Ying, Mrs. Gao gave new names to these girls who didn't know their surnames.

Therefore, the Hua family has a very high status in the Chazi camp, Hua Sanniang entered the Chazi camp, and trained as hard as others, there are two rests in the Chazi camp every month, and the homeless will stay in the camp to rest, like Hua Sanniang, who has been Chazi for generations, can go back to reunite with their families, of course, the camp also knows that people like them will never let them be at fault when they are resting.

Whenever Hua Sanniang was going to come back, early in the morning, Xiao Su Qian would wait outside the door. Like other Chazi families, the Hua family lives not far from Cha Ziying, Hua Sanniang always comes back at dawn, and every time, before entering the house, you can see Su Qian's happy little face.

Hua Sanniang's parents died in the early war, and the two sisters were also married, Hua Siniang entered the military camp again, usually Hua Sanniang and she were in the camp, and there were only a few old servants and Su Qian in the huge family.

Although Granny Hua is serious, she also has a little more pity for Su Qian, and chose an old servant who is literate to take care of Su Qian, although the old servant can teach Su Qian a few words when he is free, but he is an old man and a child, after all, he has nothing to say, so Hua Sanniang's days of rest are like a festival for Su Qian.

Hua Sanniang would take him to climb mountains, steal oranges, and sometimes take him to the market to buy him toys and delicious food.

One day, when Hua Sanniang was resting, she took Su Qian to the market, and when she came back, she saw a big car going in the direction of Cha Ziying, and she recognized the person who drove the car at a glance, and also recognized the big car.

The cart belonged to Cha Ziying, and it was the old Zhang Tou of Cha Ziying who drove the car.

Chazi camp up and down do not take a car, either riding a horse or walking, this cart is used to pull rice noodles and vegetables, the cart does not have a carriage, it is a flat plate, there is an iron frame on the flat plate, when it rains, it will be covered with oilcloth.

Therefore, if there are people sitting in the cart, you can see it at a glance.

What surprised Hua Sanniang was not Lao Zhang and his car, but the dozen or so people sitting behind the car.

It's all kids, seven or eight years old, and they're all boys.

There are also children in the Chazi camp, but they are all girls, and the whole Chazi camp is all women. Even if there is a man in the family who has been doing chazi for generations, if there is a man in the family who is suitable for this business, he will also be sent to the scout camp, not the chazi camp.

The Chazi of the Zhan family are all women.

What do these little boys that Lao Zhang pulled in do?

Could it be that the above rules have been changed, and men can also enter the Chazi camp?

Hua Sanniang lowered her head and found that Su Qian, who was being held by her, also pulled her neck to look at the carriage that was driving away.

Hua Sanniang suddenly had a thought in her heart, she squatted down and asked Su Qian: "Does Ah Qian want to be a chazi?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Hua Sanniang covered her mouth, the matter of Chazi Camp cannot be told to outsiders, although there is a Chazi Camp here, but there is another garrison outside Chazi Camp, and the people do not know the truth, so they think that this is just an army of Min Guogong.

She was about to change her words, but Su Qian whispered: "As long as she is with her sister, Ah Qian is willing to do anything." ”

Su Qian may not know what her words mean, but Hua Sanniang's heart is warm, she has no younger brother, only a younger sister who was born at about the same time as herself, in her heart, she has long regarded Su Qian as her own brother.

"Okay, then I'll go and talk to my grandmother." She took Su Qian's little hand and went to find Granny Hua.

When she finished speaking, Granny Hua looked at Su Qian, sighed faintly, and said to Hua Sanniang: "Do you know what those children do?" ”

Hua Sanniang shook her head.

Granny Hua said to Su Qian: "Ah Qian, you go outside to play, your mother-in-law has something to say to my sister." ”

Su Qian obediently agreed, and went to the porch alone to watch the birds.

After a while, he walked back and eavesdropped through the crack in the door.

Granny Hua's eyes kept staring at the door, and suddenly, she smiled, deliberately raised her voice, and said to Hua Sanniang: "Those children are going to be sent to the capital for purification." ”

Although Hua Sanniang knows more than ordinary girls, she is only twelve years old at this time, and she is still ignorant about many things, she asked curiously: "What is purification?" ”

Granny Hua said: "Purification is to cut off a man's liferoot with a knife, he can't marry a wife and have children in his life, he can only be in the palace, once he goes out of the palace and walks in front of people, he will be ridiculed, even if he dies, he will be scolded by his ancestors and ancestors." ”

Hua Sanniang was frightened, and hurriedly shook her head: "No, Ah Qian is a good boy, he can't be clean, he can't be cleaned." ”

Granny Hua sneered: "A little child, three years old will follow the abduction to run away, five years old will listen to the corner, this kind of child, what kind of good child, tomorrow I go back to the camp, just take him, together with the capital to clean, he doesn't want to go home, he doesn't have to go back in the future, if he dies, a straw mat is wrapped, thrown to the mass grave." ”

Not only in the Hua family, but even in the camp, Granny Hua also said the same, she said that if she wanted to send Su Qian and those children to the capital to cleanse themselves, it would definitely be.

Hua Sanniang's face was pale, she hated herself to death, why did she come to her grandmother, she knelt on the ground with a puff, and said sadly: "Grandmother, if you want to punish me if it doesn't matter to Ah Qian, you can punish me, or send me to the capital, cut off my hands and feet, don't clean Ah Qian, his family already dislikes him, if he is pure, it will be even more despised, and they don't want him anymore." ”

At that time, Hua Sanniang didn't know what a man's lifeline was, she thought that she might not have a lifeline, so let's cut off her hands and feet, they were all knives, it was the same.

Granny Hua didn't expect that her words would frighten her granddaughter, and she was about to speak, when she saw that the hidden door was suddenly pushed open, and a small person walked in.

Su Qian, like a little adult, hung his hands and walked to Granny Hua step by step, he first wanted to help Hua Sanniang who was kneeling on the ground, but Hua Sanniang refused to get up, so he gave up, raised his head and looked at Granny Hua.

"Mother-in-law, as long as you don't send me home, I am willing to go to the capital to cleanse myself, you don't cut off my sister's hands and feet, and I am a good boy!"

When he spoke, he held his little head high, and he was right.

Granny Hua is right, he is the one who escaped with the kidnapper, and he is also the one who eavesdrops on the corner; But what Granny Hua said was not right, he was a good boy, and my sister said that he was a good boy.

A gleam flashed through Granny Hua's eyes, and she narrowed her eyes and looked at the little girl in front of her again.

Suddenly, she smiled, and she said to Su Qian: "Mother-in-law won't let you enter the palace, that's a pity, you're not wrong, you are a good child, but you are also a ruthless child, you are only five years old, not all children can be as ruthless as you, and they will not have the courage of you, good, very good." In a few days, my mother-in-law will take you to a place, and you will talk about it later. ”
