Chapter 114: Confinement
Dong Xiao'er saw He Xinmu's expression was abnormal, a little heavy, and she didn't know where she had wandered, so she didn't respond after calling twice, no longer bothered her, and waited quietly after filling her with tea.
After a long time, He Xinmu came back to his senses, knowing that he had been distracted for a long time, and even the tea was cold.
Dong Xiao'er didn't mind, and called the maid to make a pot again.
He Xinmu saw that Dong Xiao'er was a little different from before, and asked casually, "What are your plans for the future?" β
Dong Xiao'er smiled bitterly, "Plans to ...... I don't even know what I am now, what else can I do? β
He Xinmu wanted to ask her if she had explained anything when she was sent out at home, but when she thought about it, mentioning these would hurt her heart, so she changed her mouth and laughed: "Then eat and drink here for the rest of your life and be a little lazy pig." β
Dong Xiao'er turned her head sideways, looked out the window, lowered her eyelids and said: "When I used to read the book, I always thought that I would be like the people in the play, and I would find a wishful husband in the future and live happily for a lifetime." But I'll never have that day......"
He Xinmu didn't expect to touch her heartache, and the Dong Xiao'er she saw now was indeed different from what she knew, she thought she would only shrink in the corner and cry unreasonably, but now there was sadness and confusion on her face that she had never seen before. Perhaps, she is just trying to attract attention in that way, her father married a new wife, gave birth to a young son, and she was forgotten in the corner countless times, ignored, and even ignored by her biological father. Therefore, she can only find ways to remind others of her existence, even if it also makes others hate her.
But in the end, she became an outcast, and she was forced to leave the home she had so desperately sought attention, and perhaps she was naΓ―ve enough to think that her crying could bring back her father's conscience, how pathetic. When she finally recognizes everything and knows that she will never be able to return home, the girl who can only cry can also learn to grow up and learn to hide the pain in her heart with quietness.
Just like at this moment, he obviously doesn't cry or make trouble, but his eyes reveal endless sadness.
This made He Xinmu feel like a stone in his heart, and it was better to let her hold and cry.
Under He Xinmu's emotional ups and downs, he clenched her hand and said with a firm look in his eyes: "One day, one day, one day......"
At this point, he choked up.
Someday I'll take you out of here, who will believe that?
Things that even she herself is not sure about should not be easily promised to others, maybe she can't do it at all. Even if she had managed to complete that difficult task in the end, it would have been many years later. At that time, not only Dong Xiao'er, but also many women here, their best youth had been exhausted, they had nothing, they couldn't do anything, they had no support, and they had no one to support, and letting them leave here would send them to a dead end.
Why does she think that what she is doing is saving others?
Could it be that she is wrong?
"What's wrong with you?" Dong Xiao'er saw that her face changed again and again, and asked with concern.
He Xinmu shook his head and said that it was okay, but his mood became more and more heavy.
Realizing this, she became more and more uncertain about what she wanted to do, no matter what, it provided a sheltered environment for many people to survive, and if they left here, they might have a worse life.
She hated the Black River League, hated everything here, but forgot that there were still too many innocent people here, they had to live dependent on the Black River League, and maybe one day in the future, they would lose their shelter because of her hatred alone.
And then will they hate her too?
So is she still going to hold on?
He Xinmu was disturbed by this thought, what should she do is right......
In the end, she could only force herself to tell herself that it was precisely because of the existence of the Heijiang League that so many innocent people would be involved, and she must do everything she could to prevent the Heijiang League from persecuting and involving more people.
stayed until the evening, refused Dong Xiaoer's retention, and left.
She has been gone for a day, and the green grate should be anxious, and some people should also be anxious.
Back to the Hongluoxuan in Xunyuan, Hongluoxuan is the name of the small courtyard where she lives, because she can't recognize the whole word, she lived for a few days before knocking on the side of the green grate to the name of the courtyard.
When I entered the house, I saw that dinner had been delivered, and there were other things in the house.
"What is this?" He Xinmu looked at the piles of these things on the ground and asked.
Green Grate replied: "Some food and use, Mama Pang said that it was sent from outside." β
He Xinmu thought to himself, he really said Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive, and just when he was still talking about when Xue Mu would come to the news, the result was really here.
Xue Mu sent snacks, clothes, and a box of jewelry powder, I wonder if there will be something like a note hidden in it?
He Xinmu was a little hesitant when she looked at the things, and she simply looked at her heart, no matter whether he passed the news or not, she didn't want to deliberately look for it, so she took the lead in opening the snack box, and her eyes couldn't help but light up.
She recognized it at a glance as a dim sum from the Peak Building!
Dingshenglou is a famous restaurant in Suzhou City, overcrowded on weekdays, she once passed by and was attracted by the liveliness and fragrance inside, so she went in and touched some food, and then became obsessed with it, every time she went out, she went around there to order something to eat.
It is best known not for a certain dish, but for all kinds of small pastries, which she must order every time. I didn't expect Xue Mu to send in something so appetizing to her.
I didn't think about whether there would be any news hidden in these things, and I didn't care about dinner, I twisted my heart and put it in my mouth, and beckoned to the green grate, "You can come and eat too." β
Good things should be shared.
Green Grate has been with He Xinmu these days, knowing her temperament, what she says is what she says, so she didn't shirk, and the dim sum does look delicious and tempting, it is rare to be able to eat outside food, and the two of them are very happy.
The green grate really exclaimed, "It's delicious!" β
After tasting enough, I started the meal.
He Xin and Mutong are the two masters and servants, so they don't pay attention to those rules, and they sit at the table and eat together for the past few days. After eating, He Xinmu went to rummage through the things sent by Xue Mu, but it turned out that he really just sent things in, and didn't bring any news to her, unless he was intercepted.
He Xinmu thought that there was such a possibility, but even if there was news, it was nothing more than Yunyun who made her fight for some anger, don't forget to let her do something, maybe she would urge her to find a way to get close to Lin Xia quickly, I don't know these things.
She hadn't even thought about how she could see Lin Xia, what could she do now?
Why did Xu Yidie get in, what was it about her that met Lin Xia's appetite, except for hearing that Lin Xia praised her for "having courage", she hadn't heard of anything else special.
Not only He Xinmu is puzzled, but many people have this kind of puzzlement.
The next day, He Xinmu stood at the door of the courtyard again.
"Confinement? Why? β
