Chapter Thirty-Eight: Calamity and Disaster!
She shouted so well that it seemed that only the woman could hear her.
One of the older women suddenly stopped the other young woman, shook her head, and motioned for her to leave it alone.
As soon as Jiumu saw that they were about to flee with the broken pot, he hurriedly slapped himself twice, and the face of the fan was swollen and red.
For the sake of longevity, fight!
When she approached the border of the village, she pretended to be tripped, crawled with her hands and feet in a panic, covered in yellow sand and dirty into her dress, anxiously shouting "Help! Help me! ”
"I have a poor child! Please, please! ”
Jiumu slapped the back of the head of the shaking four air, "Cry!" ”
Sikong is helpless, do you still want me to act!
He touched the pink beads in his arms, and in an instant, tears burst out of the corners of his eyes, and he also walked and loosened his little clothes while crying.
When the two women saw that there were still children, they put down the pot and rushed over to help Kugi up.
"Girl, get up."
They led the big and the small to their tents, and only gave them enough water to keep their teeth open.
Jiumu pretended that his mother's love broke out, and instead of drinking, he handed it to Sikong, which made the woman's eyes red for a moment.
They had seen enough of the child's bones, but they didn't expect to see the real living again.
The two of them looked at each other for a second, and after a while, the young woman squatted down in front of Jiumu and asked, "Girl, border wilderness, you... What crime was committed? ”
Her eyes fell on Kugi's ripped clothes, and she pursed her lips with a slight hesitation, as if she didn't dare to say the answer.
"I, who committed a big crime, was sent here, but I didn't expect to run into an unscrupulous person." Jiumu covered his face and sobbed, leaning slightly to look weak.
The older woman crossed her hands and looked at her, and said alarmedly, "I don't think the girl is a sinner. ”
"I'm not a sinner, why do I come to such a wild slope?"
The young woman stretched out her rough hand and brushed the back of Kuki's neck, and sure enough, there was no mark of sin.
"Those who have been exiled here have their mark, why don't you?"
"Hey, that's a long story...
The woman picked up the woman who was squatting on the ground, took two steps back, and said fiercely, "The king of Xinjiang has already punished more than 100 members of our Liu family to be exiled here, and now who else is going to be sent here to investigate, phew!" Do you do all the bastard things yourself, and still take away my Liu bloodline with a despicable heart! ”
Jiumu raised his head slightly, although this woman was old, her face was dry and cracked by the wind and sand, and her face could not hide the demeanor of being everyone's daughter, and she was full of confidence when she spoke.
Then he innocently said, "I'm just a dancing girl who dances the sword for the bastard King of Xinjiang, and I didn't want to be mistaken for someone who wanted to assassinate him, so I was exiled here to endure the punishment of life worse than death!" ”
"Dancing girl?" The woman tilted her head to look at the white cloth behind her, and the shape was indeed in the shape of a sword.
Then he asked suspiciously, "Does the dancing girl affect the seal of sin?" ”
"Eh, it's a soldier, seeing that I want to be humiliated in vain, I forgot to stab the sin seal, and I really escaped!" Jiumu gritted his teeth and made up nonsense, or shoddy nonsense.
Suddenly, a man broke into their sight and shouted, "Oh no, no, Mrs. Liu, Ah Zhen... Go check it out! ”
The woman was startled, and hurriedly bypassed the tattered objects that were scattered around her, and plunged into the layers of tents.
The young woman held her hand and said kindly: "Don't care, madam, the eldest sister-in-law was also forced to be helpless, she was not like this before." ”
She squatted down and touched her empty little head, the emotion flowing from her eyes was too strong, and all that was reflected was the childish pear vortex and unkempt hair.
"Ah Zhen is our only remaining hope." She said indifferently.
"Ah Zhen, who is it?"
She shook her head suddenly and opened the conversation, "Little girl Liu Jiangying, it's good for Mrs. to call me Ying'er." I don't know Madame? ”
"Ah, my surname is Nine, you call me...
"Then call Mrs. Ninth Sister, okay?"
Jiumu scratched his head, ah, this girl is really amazing. It can also be seen that she was supposed to be a beautiful young lady, and she spoke gently and softly, without confidence.
She looked in the direction the woman had left and asked, "Who is Mrs. Fangcai?" ”
"She is Zhao De, my brother's wife."
"What about your brother?"
Liu Jiangying lowered his head slightly, and said indifferently: "My brother's bones are not preserved, and he died on the battlefield." ”
Jiumu scolded himself for being stupid, and the two women were exiled here, and they were squeezed to the edge of the village, naturally without the support of men.
As for the so-called more than 100 people, it is estimated that there are no more deaths and illnesses left along the road.
But since he died on the battlefield, it can be regarded as meritorious, why was he still punished so far? Could it be a rebellion?
"I'm sorry, it's me who talks a lot, Ying'er understands."
"It's okay, I've been used to it for a long time, basically no one has asked about this in the past few years, and Sister Nine can be regarded as the first one."
"Huh? Well. ”
"Who is worse off in a place like this?" She suddenly led her empty hands into the tent, rummaged through the broken boxes, and finally pulled out a rattle without beads.
"Sister Jiu, in this kind of place, most children will not live to adulthood, if you have the chance, you should run away."
Jiumu looked along the yellow sand below, and wondered: "There are still hundreds of miles away from the nearest border city here, if Ying'er doesn't mind, can you leave a place to stay?" The soldiers over there were staring at me, and I was so scared. ”
She had already tried her best to pretend to be scared and frightened, trying to moisten her eyes to win Liu Jiangying's trust and soft-heartedness.
Liu Jiangying looked at the tent, stuffed the rattle into his empty hands, and pinched his little meat hands.
"I have the intention, but the eldest sister-in-law is afraid that she is unwilling."
Seeing this, Jiumu threw himself to the ground and whimpered: "I know that she is worried that the soldiers will come to find trouble, but I really have nowhere to go, my children are still young, if they fall into the hands of which soldiers, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
"It's better to take in my child, I can go, I'm not afraid to become their plaything or anything else, just please make sure he stays here!"
Sikong pinched the rattle and looked at Jiumu in a daze, her words, these tones, really didn't look like she was acting.
He felt his eyes red inexplicably, and his face was sore from the sand thorns where he had just rubbed.
The aggrieved appearance of the child in front of him was distressed in Liu Jiangying's eyes, and he directly decided that this ninth sister was not a miscellaneous sent by the capital.
Liu Jiangying pursed her lips and said in a little panic, "Ying'er really admires Sister Jiu's love for her son, you stay here first, and when she comes back, I will definitely ask my eldest sister-in-law to agree to take you in." ”
"It's just that the sword of the ninth sister, why hasn't it been confiscated, and it can still be brought to the border?"
Jiumu was stunned, how to make this up! Of course, this kind of sword will be taken away as soon as it is caught!
Liu Jiangying suddenly grabbed her shoulders and comforted, "I think it was Sister Jiu who endured the insult and brought it desperately." ”
"That's right, that's right! Those soldiers are really brutal and ferocious, and they do it without saying anything! "Ah, finally I didn't scold in my heart, but I could say it.
"Sister Nine, don't worry, we will definitely protect you from those soldiers! I'll go to my sister-in-law now to explain. ”
Kugi grabbed her hand and said, "I'll go with you, maybe I can help somewhat." Akong, stay here and don't run around. ”
The two of them had slipped through the dilapidated and smelly tent for four miles, and finally came to the very center of the tent.
I saw the eldest sister-in-law in Liu Jiangying's mouth kneeling upright in a clearing, tears flowing through the rough wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, turning into a deep ditch.
Jiumu tilted his head slightly, and found that there was an offering table in the small tent facing her head, the only few rotten apples left, and a statue of a god who didn't know who it was.
When Liu Jiangying saw this scene, she knelt down directly beside her eldest sister-in-law, held her shoulders and asked, "Ah Zhen, Ah Zhen is about to die?" ”
The figure who slammed his head deep on the ground slowly got up, looked at Jiumu with a fierce look, pointed at her and shouted heartbreakingly, "It's all you!" It's all you! As soon as you come, Ah Zhen won't be able to! Scourge Star! ”
Jiumu was caught off guard and was scolded with a roar, frowning, I really don't know what this has to do with her.
