Su Ling curled up in the corner and looked at Jiang Duanchen vigilantly.

"Little girl, what's your name?" Jiang Duanchen leaned against the door with his arms folded.

He could see that the girl in front of him was afraid of him as an uninvited guest, or that the girl's thin wood-like body was too thin, and he couldn't help but wonder what had happened to her.

"Su Ling." Her voice was as weak as a fledgling.

The white dog outside the house kept barking at the man, Jiang Duanchen squinted at it, slowly got down, and waved to it demonstratively.

At the moment when the white dog pounced on him, Jiang Duanchen threw out the powder from his sleeve and stunned him.

"It's too noisy, be quiet."

Jiang Duanchen squatted and glanced at Su Ling in the corner of the wall, and asked tentatively, "Miss Su, can you arrange a bed for you?" ”

Su Ling buried his head, stretched out his hand, and pointed to the only wooden bed in the room.

Jiang Duanchen stood up and looked at the tattered wooden bed in disbelief, it was already in the cold winter season, but this little girl didn't even have a decent thick futon.

"What about you? You're not going to just stay in the corner, are you? ”

"Hmm." Su Ling replied without raising his head.

Seeing her stubborn appearance, Jiang Duanchen didn't want to say more, he walked into the house quietly, trying not to disturb her.

Then he lay down carefully on the tattered wooden bed, fearing that it would break because it could not bear the weight of the weak-crowned man.

The cold wind vertebrae, the goose feathers and the first snow fell in front of the window of Shuolin Yuan without warning, and the delicate girl in the house shivered in the corner.

Su Ling shivered unconsciously, rubbing her little hands to keep warm.

She looked up at the stove in the corner of the table, and the whole warm stone she had managed to save was almost burned out.

I don't know if I can survive this year's winter.

Su Ling silently revealed such thoughts.

Tiredness gradually defeated the cold, and with sleepy eyes, Su Ling seemed to return to the days when livestock were inferior ten years ago.

Bandit Mountain

This is the largest bandit mountain in the east of the Shangque capital, and the robbers are camped here.

Lu Qiang, the owner of the bandit mountain, suffers from severe child abuse, and he likes to burn and loot the surrounding villages and towns in his spare time, killing all men brutally, and taking women and children for fun.

Su Ling was tragically taken captive when she was six years old, and there were five or six other children who were taken captive at the same time as her.

He lived in a pig pen every day, and grabbed feed with five or six children and livestock.

During the day, they would be pulled out and tied up for Lu to be whipped, and they were not allowed to cry, and if a child couldn't help crying, his limbs would be torn off and thrown to feed the dogs.

Lu Qiang is a four-foot-six-inch cripple, and he usually likes to ride those children when he goes out.

After Su Ling was plundered, he kept kneeling on the ground, and sometimes had to climb two or three miles on a landing, just to satisfy this pervert and please him, so that he could survive.

When Su Ling was nine years old, the wave of children that came with her was left with her and a sister who was two years older than her, Ahuai.

Ah Huai was Su Ling's only light in these dim days.

Ahuai loves to sing the most, and often teaches Su Ling to hum in the dead of night.

It was only when listening to Ah Huai's humming that Su Ling felt that there was hope in life. Su Ling can't speak, and will only express his liking for Ahuai with the most innocent smile.

"Ah Ling, we will definitely escape, and when we escape, Sister Huai will definitely take you to my hometown.

The people there are very nice, singing and dancing all day long, full of laughter, no need to eat pig food, no need to be beaten and scolded. ”

"Ah Ling, do you know that Sister Huai wants to stand in the largest music building in Shangque City and sing songs. Do you have a place you want to go? No matter where you go, it will be a thousand times better than the bandit mountain. ”

"Ah Ling, let's escape."

On that day, Ah Huai wore a pure white cloth dress, and I heard that it was specially brought by Tuo Luqiang.

Su Ling saw Ah Huai stand up straight for the first time, in two years, Ah Huai has been slim, on this day, she deliberately dressed up with Lu Qiang's approval, this is Su Ling's most envious moment.

In the crowd full of wild men, Ah Huai slowly walked towards Lu Qiang, who was sitting in the tiger skin.

She hummed a moving song all the way, staring at Lu Qiang with beautiful eyes, her slightly powdered face accompanied by red lips, and her every move and smile provoked the hearts of the men present.

Su Ling knelt down and watched the white streamer gently slash in front of her eyes.

Today's Ahuai is so beautiful.

Lu Qiang greedily grabbed Ah Huai's waist, and his subordinates dismissed everyone with interest.

When Su Ling crawled away, she turned her head and saw Ah Huai smiling sadly at her, she didn't understand why Ah Huai showed such eyes, but before she could think too much, she was kicked away.

"What doesn't have long eyes, don't get out of here. Don't disturb the king's interest. A man with an eyepatch viciously drove Su Ling away.

That night, Ahuai returned to the pig cage and gently woke up Su Ling, who was sleeping.

"Ah Ling, let's go with my sister, my sister will take you home."

Su Ling opened his eyes slightly, and was about to get up, but was interrupted by the sudden arrival of the blindfold robber.

It was the robber during the day, Su Ling's eyes widened instantly, and he came to his senses under Ah Huai's shout.

"Want to escape? It's also called grandpa Shuangshuang, and all the benefits are taken up by that cripple, which is really a tyrannical thing. ”

"Ah Ling, run away!"

"Ah...... Ahhhhh

Su Ling had never learned to walk upright, let alone run, she tripped and stumbled when she ran, and the two girls finally failed to outrun the blindfolded bandit.

Ah Huai pushed Su Ling into the deep grass on the side of the road, and told her to crawl away quickly, the farther away the better, and then stopped the man with his body.

Ah Huai bit the man hard, and the man in pain shouted, "Wow, damn stinky girl, let go of me!" Loosen! ”

"Ahh

A miserable scream alarmed the birds in the forest.

Su Ling hid in the grass and watched her favorite sister die in front of her eyes. She struggled to hold back her tears, choking silently.

"Ahuai!"

Su Ling suddenly woke up from her dream. also woke up Jiang Duanchen, who was asleep.

Jiang Duanchen sneezed, sat up and rubbed his body.

Why is it so cold?

Is this little girl okay? Jiang Duanchen glanced at the girl who was cowering in the corner and sobbing.

He frowned and asked, "What did you dream about?" ”

Su Ling looked at Jiang Duanchen with teary eyes, only knowing how to cry, crying and sobbing, crying until he couldn't breathe.

Jiang Duanchen was really afraid that her small body would cry to death because of this, so he came to her and squatted down in front of her with a quilt.

"Miss Su, I'm offended." Jiang Duanchen wrapped Su Ling in the quilt, regardless of the resistance of the person in his arms, he picked her up by the waist, carried her to the side of the bed and put it down gently, and carefully tucked the futon.

A pair of warm hands held Su Ling's face tightly, as if holding an ice ball without temperature.

Jiang Duanchen couldn't help but snort at the ice.

He meticulously wiped away the tears from Su Ling's face. coaxed Su Ling softly, "Don't cry, I'm crying, I'll kill you, what a noisy girl." ”

Hearing this, Su Ling suddenly thought of Lu Qiang, and didn't dare to cry anymore.

She choked up and said, "I won't cry, don't kill me." ”

"Poof" What a stupid girl, Jiang Duanchen smiled secretly in his heart, he had never seen such a strange girl.

Obviously scared to death during the day, he bravely stood up to protect others, and now he is so obedient.

Su Ling, what kind of person are you? Also, who is Ahuai. Just now you dreamed about something and cried like this.

Jiang Duanchen was full of curiosity about the girl in front of him, but he couldn't bear to ask, it must be some bad memories.

Everyone will have something they don't want to remember, even if he is invincible, he was deeply involved in officialdom at the age of five, and became the youngest prime minister in Shangque City at the age of sixteen, and there is an untouchable taboo in his heart.

Su Ling, sleep well, let's get along slowly in the future.

Jiang Duanchen decided to stay here again, at least, to spend the year here in peace. Anyway, there is nothing to worry about at home, so it is better to accompany this poor little girl.
