Chapter 37: Memories Kill (3)
At that time, even if this grass was a treasure of tens of millions, it was better to use it to save lives than to exchange it for so-called money.
Hua Luo was about to say something, but suddenly felt a surge of qi and blood, frowned slightly, and covered his chest.
Xiahou Qian hurriedly said, "Your Highness, how do you feel?" ”
As he spoke, he wanted to check the state of the flower.
Hua Luo pressed Xia Hou Qian's hand to be pinched, and Xia Hou Qian only felt that Hua Luo's hand was cold and cold.
"I'm fine."
After Hua Luo finished speaking, she began to enter a state of meditation, and after a while, her breath returned to stability.
Hua Luo opened her eyes again and glanced at the abrasions on Xia Hou's face: "Okay, you go back and take care of the wounds, don't care about me." ”
"But Your Highness, ......" Xia Houqian was still about to say something, Hua Luo had already gotten up and walked to the inner room.
Xiahou Qian had no choice but to give up and leave here.
Hua Luo was lying on the soft couch in the inner room, holding her cheek with one hand and pretending to sleep, but she couldn't help but think of the scene when she was demoted to Yanzhou by the empress, and to this day, the conversation between Xia Houqian and his mother still echoes in his ears.
"Qian'er, Qiaonu is a baby for you since childhood, a few days ago, Qiaonu's parents fought with others for a little ration, and were beaten to death, even Qiaonu accidentally rolled off the cliff and broke a leg, now she is lonely, I'm afraid we have to take her home to take care of."
"Mother, this is how it should be, what you say you should do." Xia Houqian's voice has always been gentle.
"Mother has one more thing to tell you, the little girl you brought back has been living at home for ten days, and she should be almost recuperating, right?"
Look at the meaning, it is to issue an eviction order.
Xia Houqian heard his mother say this, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the room where Hua Luo was staying, he had just gone to see it, and Hua Luo was already asleep at this time, so he shouldn't have heard it.
But Xiahou Qian still lowered his voice: "Mother, do you mean to send her away?" She also looks homeless, where do you let her go. ”
Xiahou Qian's mother shook her head helplessly: "If your father is still here, our family can still have food and clothing, my mother may consider letting her stay, but now that our own family is too busy to take care of ourselves, it is barely enough to save her back, how can we take in an irrelevant outsider?" ”
"Didn't you find two tapioas the day before yesterday? You steam one of them and give it to her and let her go, it's not that the mother is ruthless, and you have to measure your ability to help others, Qiaonu is here, and our family has one more mouth to eat. ”
Xiahou Qian sighed: "But what do I want to say about such a thing." ”
"Then I'll go and say okay."
Xiahou Qian's mother made up her mind.
Knowing that what his mother said was not unreasonable, Xiahou Qian didn't dare to refute, and felt a little unbearable: "Mother, I saw her just now, she is asleep now, no matter what, wait for her to wake up." ”
"Okay." Xia Houqian's mother took a deep breath, "Then wait until she wakes up, you steam the cassava first." ”
Now their family's only food is two lobbins, and Xiahou Qian's mother still decided to give one of them to Hua Luo to satisfy her hunger and then send her away, so that their family has done their best.
Neither Xia Houqian nor his mother knew that these words were heard by Hua Luo in the room.
About half an hour later, Xia Houqian's mother estimated that Hua Luo should wake up, so she pushed open the door and saw Hua Luo sitting at the head of the bed, already wearing her shoes.
She wore two hairstyles that resembled double ponytails, her bangs parted, revealing a smooth forehead, and her snake-bitten skin had regained its fairness and softness, and her eyes were clear.
Xia Houqian's mother thought to herself, this little girl didn't know whose lovely daughter she used to be, and her family background would definitely not be too bad, but now she has fallen into this field.
Just as she was thinking about how to open her mouth to drive a homeless girl away, Hua Luo took the initiative to speak: "Leave me, I won't be a burden to you." ”
The flower poll originally has a fruit-like sweet temperament, with a sweet voice, which is very moving.
Xia Houqian's mother was shocked, Hua Luo had already known in advance what she meant by coming to her this time, and she didn't know how to reply.
Hua Luo, I saw that Xiahou Qian's mother didn't speak, and thought that she doubted the credibility of this sentence, and added: "I promise, give me three days, within three days I will prove that what I said is true, I can skip meals for these three days, and if I don't do it, I will leave on my own." ”
As she said this, Hua Luo's gaze was calm throughout, looking through the wooden window at the barren mountain peaks in the distance.
Seeing that the little girl spoke clearly and with a maturity that did not match her age, Xiahou Qian's mother sighed.
That's it, what if you take in this girl for another three days, and you won't talk about driving Hua Luo away for the time being.
Although Hua Luo said that she didn't eat, Xia Houqian still sent the steamed rabia to Hua Luo with her mother's approval.
Instead of twisting and refusing, she took them and ate them all, she needed to maintain enough energy and sleep now, and then went to bed and closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.
The next day, Hua Luo went out.
Everyone looked sideways at this obviously temperamentally eight-year-old girl, but Hua Luo didn't seem to notice it, and didn't look at them doing their own thing, looking left and right, as if they were looking for something, and as if they were observing.
Finally, Hua Luo walked to the entrance of the village and saw several beautiful women standing under a tree at the entrance of the village, which looked incompatible with the desolate and barren village.
Several villagers took a girl in their hands and brought it to the women.
Then, the flamboyant women took the little girls brought by the villagers on their chins and looked at their faces carefully, and then looked at their heads and feet as if they were looking at a commodity.
When he was satisfied, he nodded, took out a lot of fine rice and white noodles from a small bag on his waist, handed the fresh vegetables to the villagers, and left the girl behind.
Hua Luo carefully observed from a distance, and found that the girls who were left behind had very good facial features, although the current famine and rice grain could not keep up, and they all looked a little dull-eyed, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and it was not difficult to see that they were all beauties.
Hua Luo casually found a villager watching from the sidelines and asked, "Who are they?" ”
The villagers looked at the eight-year-old girl alone in front of them with some surprise, but still answered her question truthfully: "They are from the Hehuan faction, and they have been to the village several times in the past few days. ”
"Hehuan pie? Is that the sect that is full of female cultivators and is good at using charm to confuse the opposite sex? Hua Luo asked.
The villager waved his hand: "I don't know about this, but it seems that I heard that they do often tempt men everywhere, anyway, it is not a serious sect, it is said that they came here to expand the number of disciples in the sect, and they want beautiful girls under the age of ten, but who is willing to send a good girl from an ordinary family to the Hehuan faction?" ”
