After she finished speaking, another old woman's voice sounded: "You say, will she know that we are going to give her to the daughter-in-law in the next village, and plan to run away on the road?" ”

Hearing the woman's suspicions, An Li was also a little uneasy, so he asked back: "No, this girl is not so bold." ”

The two of them were discussing An Juan's matter, but suddenly heard An Daoping next to him speak: "Mother, since you are worried that the dead girl has run away on the road, go to the second uncle next door to ask for medicine and go down to her meal, isn't it?" ”

An Daoping's proposal was quite popular with An Li's family, and she quickly praised her precious son a few times, and she couldn't wait to frame his words on the wall.

An Daoping's father interjected at this time: "Don't say more, Wan'er is still outside." ”

After that, in the sound of the collision of tables and chairs, An Mu got up, probably to see if An Juan heard anything.

An Wan hurriedly moved to the farthest point from the room, and carefully fiddled with the medicinal herbs on the shelf.

When An Juan counted the medicinal materials, her father An Mu walked out with chopsticks in his hand, supervising An Juan on the side, paying special attention to her expression, confirming that she hadn't heard anything, before he breathed a sigh of relief and said the last sentence: I have calculated these things with my father, a total of ten taels of silver, and you are not allowed to take back one less copper plate at that time. ”

An Wan nodded in fear, but couldn't help but sneer lightly in her heart.

When the pharmacy in the town collects medicinal materials, she often deliberately undercounts some silver taels, An Juan is a woman, and she doesn't dare to argue more, so she can only be pushed out of the house, and go home with that little money, and she doesn't dare to raise her head in the insults of her family.

An Mu saw that An Juan kept her head down, didn't say a word, and felt bored in her heart, so she took the bowl back to add rice, but she didn't notice that her daughter behind her quickly stuffed a handful of medicinal herbs into her pocket.

This herb doesn't look special, but if it is crushed into foam and added with saliva, it will make people itch so much that they can't wait to pick off that piece of meat as a relief.

The original owner bothered to provide for her brother's schooling, but only got such a sentence...... Then An Juan treated his body in the way of others, so that he could also experience the feeling of being drugged.

After the family finished eating, An Juan hurriedly brought water out of the kitchen and took care of their feet.

In fact, everyone else can wash their own feet, and the only one who needs to be waited on by An Juan is her younger brother and the little ancestor of the whole family - An Daoping.

An Daoping is a handsome young man, but in the doting of the whole family, he has developed an arrogant and domineering temperament, and he shouts and drinks to his parents and grandparents on weekdays, and he is completely inappropriate for An Juan, who is located at the bottom of the An family.

Just like now, he felt uncomfortable when he saw An Xuan bending over, so he directly lifted his feet up, and fell on An Xuan's back with wet droplets.

The temperature of the water in the basin was just right, but after taking it out and drying it, it suddenly cooled down, and fell coldly on An Juan's clothes, and through it directly attached to his body, as soon as the wind blew in from outside, it made An Juan's whole body tremble.

An Juan glanced up at An Daoping, and saw that his face was full of indifferent expressions, and when he saw An Juan looking up, he directly leaned over the soles of his feet, if An Juan hadn't dodged quickly, he would probably have been covered by his stinky feet.

She frowned, the expression on her face did not change, but the fire in her heart was already burning.

At this time, An Daoping put her feet on An Juan's hand again, apparently asking her to continue to rub her feet for herself.

Looking at An Daoping's soles, An Xuan's eyes turned, and suddenly thought of something, raised his head, and looked at An Mu and An Li with concern: "Father, my daughter learned a massage craft in the town a few days ago, and now I see my younger brother complaining about her back pain all day long, can my daughter press it for him?" ”

Hearing An Xuan's words, An Mu and An Li both hesitated, but An Daoping's grandmother An Wang suddenly opened her mouth to find fault: "Since you have learned Na Lao Shizi massage, why didn't you give it to Daoping earlier?" I'm afraid I just want your brother to have a backache! ”

Her words were really heart-wrenching, and An Juan lowered her head as a matter of course, and explained helplessly and sadly: "Grandma, I just don't dare to use it on my brother at will, I tried it myself a few times first......" She said aggrievedly, and looked up at her grandparents: "Moreover, this massage is really painful, I'm afraid my brother won't want to ......"

is also a woman, An Wang's family has always been unaccustomed to An Wan's occasional appearance, and this time it is the same.

Seeing An Juan explaining in a low voice, An Wang frowned and drank her: "What are you crying about!" Just know to cry! Hurry up and give your brother a massage, it doesn't matter if it hurts or not, it's good for your body. ”

An Wan nodded, held An Daoping's feet, and began to press the acupuncture points on the soles of his feet.

It is said that the soles of the feet are the most important place for a person, and there are many acupuncture points on them.

When An Juan was in modern times, she went to a massage parlor every once in a while to relax her body. Over time, she and the technician have become familiar with each other, and they can often discuss massage techniques.

The things contained in this small sole of foot are complex and profound, and An Juan has studied it very much.

Therefore, when she massages An Daoping, she can now secretly press on the acupuncture points that will cause long-term illness.

Her massage seemed to outsiders to be troublesome, and when the massage was over, An Daoping shook off his aching feet, which were already a little numb, and felt that there was really a hot current surging up the soles of his feet, making him sigh comfortably.

An Juan gave An Daoping a massage tonight, and An's family let An Juan go for the time being, no longer letting her do things, just pack up her things, and then go back to sleep.

An Juan lay in the firewood room, feeling the wind blowing from all directions.

She looked up at the stars through the cracks in the firewood room, listened to the movements around her, and felt that the atmosphere was quiet and bleak.

There was a rustling sound on the side of the main house, and occasionally a sentence or two was blown by the wind and spread in An Juan's ears.

She sighed and waited for all the lights to be blown out.

After about an hour, An Juan quietly walked out of the firewood room, touched An Daoping's window, and made sure that An Daoping was asleep, so he opened the door and climbed in, stopped at the door and looked at it for a quarter of an hour, before he cautiously walked over, broke An Daoping's mouth by the moonlight, and slowly sprinkled the fine powder she had just ground into it.

After doing this, An Juan hurriedly left An Daoping's room, returned to the firewood room and lay on the bed, pretending to be sleeping, while pricking up his ears to listen to the movement over there.

After about two quarters of an hour, a burst of screams came from An Daoping's room, desperate and dazed, and it sounded abruptly in the night, and it sounded very terrible.

The An family was so startled by this voice that they got up, rushed to An Daoping's side, and asked about the situation of the little ancestor with concern.

An Wan got up one step later, first lowered his head and messed up the clothes on his body, and then took the opportunity to quickly go under the bed of An Li and An Wang to collect all the silver savings they had snatched from the original owner into the space, and then ran to An Daoping.

At this time, the lampstand in the room had been lit, and An Daoping was holding his neck with both hands, opening his mouth and sticking out his tongue, "ahhhhhhhh

An Mu and An Li hurriedly put their ears to An Daoping's ear, waiting for what he had to say, but they didn't expect him to wail for a long time, and finally only spit out the word "water" with difficulty.

An Mu turned around and wanted to get water for An Daoping, but saw An Juan standing at the door in a panic.

He vented all his anger on An Juan: "Look at what! Your brother is uncomfortable like this, and your sister doesn't know how distressed! ”

His words startled An Juan, his lips opened and closed, and he didn't know what to say.

The more An Mu looked at it, the more angry he became, and he directly stretched out his foot and kicked the corner of the wall: "Hurry up and get your brother a scoop of water!" ”

"Good, good." An Juan made a nervous expression, and glanced in through the figures of everyone, making sure that An Daoping was indeed sad now, so he put his mind at ease and turned around to bring him water.

An Juan originally thought about whether to put a handful of powder in the water, but she felt that it was too easy to be discovered, so she didn't do anything more, just took a bowl of water and sent it to An Daoping.

Seeing An Juan coming over with water, the An family hurriedly made way for her, watching her hand a bowl of water to An Daoping's hand, and then poured it into his mouth by himself.

The icy water relieved the itching from his lips to his throat a little, and An Daoping sat on the bed with the empty bowl in his hand, and began to breathe heavily, like a fish out of water.

After drinking the water, he explained his situation intermittently: "I'm sleeping...... Suddenly I felt a lot of itching in my mouth......"

As he spoke, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and felt that his throat was starting to itch again, so he hurriedly grabbed An Xuan's arm and ordered her to bring him another bowl.

After drinking a lot of water back and forth like this, An Daoping felt that the itching in his mouth and throat was not so serious, but he found that his whole body began to feel slightly uncomfortable.

But An Daoping's situation The An family has never seen it, and they asked the neighbor next door who was woken up, but they didn't know about this situation.

Several of them were frightened and frightened, so they could only surround An Daoping until dawn.

On the second day, An Juan went to pack up the medicinal herbs with dark circles under her eyes, and by the way, An Mu asked her to ask the old doctor in the town about An Daoping's situation.

When An Juan sorted out the medicinal herbs in the yard and carried them on her back, intending to leave the house completely, she suddenly felt some dull pain in her chest.

The pain was not particularly intense, but it was like an appendage, embedded deep into her flesh and blood, and haunted in the deepest depths.

She sighed, put down the things on her back, and then turned to face the small courtyard of the An family, letting the emotions of the original owner churn in her body, and at the same time said to herself in a persuasive tone: "This family treats you so badly, why do you keep struggling to remember it?" You did what you had to do, and even gave your life back to your parents...... Let me live in your place, okay? I'll show you everything you've never seen. ”

An Xuan's voice was calm, but it miraculously calmed the restless heart of the original owner.

After saying this, An Juan reached out and touched his chest, and found that the emotion just now had disappeared, and only a sudden warm current spread throughout his body.

"Thank you." She lowered her head and whispered out the words, then turned around and picked up the bag and walked towards Uncle Wang's house next door.
