"Begonia, you go and prepare some loose silver and some dry food." Thinking of this, Xiaoru looked straight at the shaking wick and commanded lightly, but as he spoke, a touch of firmness quickly flashed under Xiaoru's eyes.

As the saying goes, there is no turning back when opening the bow, and now I can only follow the pre-set route, step by step, step by step.

After Haitang turned to leave, Xiaoru slowly sat down at the table, her eyes were deep, flashing faintly and coldly, raised her head, and looked at the sky with a smile.

At this time, the sunset has been hidden in the mountain stream for a long time, and when the last afterglow is about to dissipate, I think that the night is coming, and under the cover of the wings of the night, there will always be some restless people who will choose to wait for the opportunity to move!

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed in an instant, and it happened that at this time, the sun faded, and the whole heaven and earth were irrepressibly turned into a gray patch.

After hastily having dinner, Xiao Xiaoru walked towards the back wing room with the begonia, and then stood firmly at the door of a very inconspicuous room in the corner. Begonia raised her hand and pushed the door open under the gesture of Xiaoru, and then the master and servant slowly walked in.

came to the bed and stood still, smiling as if condescending, looking at the bamboo that was in a coma, after a moment of silence, he smiled like a head and did not look back, and directly ordered Haitang: "Begonia, wake her up!" ”

"Yes, Miss!" Hearing this, Begonia flashed out directly from behind Xiaoru, and then came to the bed, Xiaoru didn't see it clearly, Begonia took out something from his arms, and then waved his big arm directly, and Begonia took the thing and shook it directly in front of the tip of the bamboo's nose.

Just such a simple action, it quickly had an effect, only to see that after blinking, Bamboo subconsciously frowned, and after a few twitches at the corners of her eyes, she made a few unspoken mutters, Bamboo slowly opened her heavy eyelids, and then woke up faintly.

"Miss...... How could the slave be here? Bamboo, who had just woken up, suddenly saw a smiling face with a light smile appear in his sight, Bamboo stared at his eyes, and subconsciously asked in a daze.

"Zhuzi, after you finished drinking tea, you suddenly fainted, there was no way, I had to send someone to carry you to the wing room and rest for a while!" Xiaoru looked at the bamboo that was struggling to sit up, and subconsciously reached out to help her.

"Slave, fainted?" After listening to Xiaoru's words, Bamboo was subconsciously stunned, but at this time she was even more confused, and briefly recalled it in her mind, but Bamboo couldn't remember the reason at all, and her brain was blank.

"Lately, have you been too tired, and you have to worry about your grandmother's condition from time to time!" Seeing that the bamboo suddenly fell into a deep groan, he smiled like a slight flash in his eyes, and hurriedly diverted the topic.

Sure enough, after listening to Xiaoru's words, Bamboo's attention was successfully attracted, and she nodded in confusion while getting up, anyway, she couldn't figure out what happened to faint before, but fortunately, Bamboo accepted Xiaoru's seemingly very reasonable explanation.

"Bamboo, there is something I must tell you, just when you were unconscious, your fellow countryman came to you, she said...... She said...... "Looking at the bamboo that had just stood up straight, a hint of worry suddenly appeared on the face of the smiling ru, and she moved her lips, and said without saying anything.

"What, she came to look for me, but my grandmother's condition ......" As soon as she heard this, Bamboo was anxious at that time, it was about her only relative, how could Bamboo be stable at this time.

"Your fellow villager said that your grandmother's condition has deteriorated now, the situation is very serious, and at the end of her death, her only wish is to just see you one last time." Xiaoru raised his eyes, glanced at the bamboo deeply, and then said slowly, word by word.

"What, my grandmother is critically ill, how can this be?" As soon as he heard this, the bamboo stumbled under his feet, his legs weakened, and he almost couldn't stand. In an instant, her eyes were red directly, and the panicked bamboo said in a choked voice while wanting to rush out, "No, the slave maid has to go to Aunt Qiu quickly and beg her to let the slave go back to see my grandmother." ”

"Wait!" Just when she was about to take the door out, Xiaoru suddenly stopped her, and at the same time, Xiaoxiao glanced at Begonia, and after Begonia understood, she hurriedly moved and stopped in front of Zhuzi first, blocking her way.

"Eldest Lady......" Seeing that the road ahead was blocked, Zhuzi's heart was so anxious that she couldn't do it, her nose was sore, and tears flowed down at once.

"Hey, I'm not trying to stop you!" She couldn't bear to look at the pitiful appearance of the bamboo, and then sighed lightly, and then explained with a smile, "Zhuzi, think about it, even if you go to Aunt Qiu to intercede now, will she be able to agree to you?" Even if you go, it's just a waste of time! ”

"But...... But what then? Xiaoru's explanation did not make the sadness in Zhuzi's heart any better, but even more sad, standing in place, Bamboo's tears crackled and fell, I don't know what to do.

"Time is of the essence, I see...... You might as well leave the house first and go home directly! Xiaoru took two steps and came to the bamboo, then took her hand, held it in her palm, and after gently patting it a few times, Xiaoru said lightly with thin lips and full of charm.

"But...... It would be a great sin for me to leave the house without permission! At first glance, Bamboo's heart was beating for a moment, but after a moment, her head shook like a rattle, because she knew that as a slave, once she escaped, it would be a capital crime to be caught.

"Is your grandmother's life important, or the so-called rules and precepts important, bamboo, you should think about it yourself!" Looking at the bamboo with a sad expression, Xiao Ru stood calmly, and he didn't rush to urge her, just waited patiently.

"This ...... What a good way to do that! Bamboo bean-sized tears couldn't stop falling, her voice was intermittent, choked up, and at this time, she was in a dilemma, and her body and mind were tormented.

"Hey! Look at you, it's also pitiful, I can't bear it, so let's do it to the end, and send the Buddha to the west. Xiaoru sighed inaudibly, and then waved towards Haitang, after seeing this, Haitang directly handed a burden to Xiaoru's hand, "There are some broken silver and dry food in this baggage, you take it, take it while it's dark now, and leave secretly!" ”

Zhuzi lowered her head in a daze, looking at the burden that smiled like a handover, as a subordinate, for so many years, it was the first time that someone had been so good to her, and this person's identity was still a master.

For a while, Zhuzi gratefully didn't know what to say, and at this time, her whole person was in a state of war between heaven and man, whether to go or not to go, thinking about it, she couldn't make up her mind at all.

Seeing that Zhuzi just stared blankly at the burden in her hand, but refused to take it over, even if she understood her concerns, it was no wonder that she was so hesitant.

Deep servility has long been ingrained in her blood and marrow, and in her subjective consciousness, some are just unconditional obedience to her master, where will there be the evil idea of running away.

If there is enough time, Xiao Xiao Rushang can calmly persuade her, but today, in such urgent conditions and environments, there is no such phenomenon as wasting time.

Thinking of this, Xiaoru had to take the initiative to take Zhuzi's hand, while putting the burden heavily in her hand, she said earnestly: "Zhuzi, don't hesitate, you have time to waste here, but how many opportunities do your grandma have to wait patiently, in this world, the saddest and most irreparable thing is that the tree wants to move and the wind does not stop, the child wants to raise but the parent is not there, do you really want to miss the last moment of your stay with your grandmother because of your timidity and fear, Leaving her alone and sadly dying? ”

Laughing like these words full of sincere emotion, it finally became the last straw that pressed the bamboo, and I saw that the expression on her face, after changing and changing, finally flashed irrepressibly with a touch of firmness.

"Miss, your kindness, bamboo has no way to repay it in this life, only in the next life, do cattle and horses to repay your great kindness!" After making up his mind, the bamboo carefully held the burden in his arms, and then bent his knees, and knelt in front of Xiaoru with a poof, with red eyes, the bamboo voice choked, and sincerely expressed his gratitude word by word.

"Where are you talking about this, hurry up!" He sighed inaudibly, and then hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help the bamboo up, "As a child, when you see your loved ones in disaster, where is there anything that is not heartbroken, just like my nurse Su's mother ......"

After saying this, a sincere smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and after a pause, Fang continued: "After being whipped, although there is no worry about my life, but the criss-crossing whip marks are enough to make me sleep, in the end, I can help you like this, not only out of sympathy for your situation, but more empathy, because in this world, there is always a deep affection that we can't give up, right?" ”

"Well, every word of the eldest lady is all said to the heart of the slave maid, the slave must have done some great good deeds in her previous life, and she was fortunate to meet the eldest lady in this life, and she can get the help of the eldest lady!" Xiaoru's words, even though they resonated with the bamboo, at the same time, also strengthened her determination to leave.

"Hehe, how can I be as good as you say, I just hope that the decision you made today will not regret it in the future." After listening to Zhuzi's words, Xiaoru was stunned for a moment, and then her expression became a little unnatural, and after taking a few deep breaths, Xiaoru said in a light tone, and sighed with deep meaning.
