It was also winter, and she was rescued from a serious beating because she accidentally set the kitchen on fire while cooking.

After that, her father locked her in a small room with walls on three sides and used to throw miscellaneous items, saying that he wanted to punish her, and he didn't give her food for five days.

When she was almost starving to death, Vision saw Lord Ryujin, who had saved her once.

At that time, he also spoke to her so gently.

But as soon as she reached out and touched him, he would spread out like smoke, unable to catch the entity.

This time, she thought, she was just a little uncomfortable from being frozen, how could she see him again?

The emptiness and numbness in Qiao Mei's eyes looked very terrifying, and the pain in Ao Cang's heart spread densely to all four limbs, grabbed her wrist again, and took her into his arms, guessing why she said this, and said emphatically: "Look at what is on the water?" ”

Those who see with vision will not have a shadow.

Qiao Mei slowly turned her head to look at the lake.

There is a figure shrouded in white smoke clearly reflected on it, which means that this time, she did not have visual hallucinations?

Realizing this, Qiao Mei's eyes were gradually filled with light.

She pursed her lips aggrievedly, and the mist and tears in her eyes filled her eyes, blurring her vision.

She seemed afraid that she would not be able to see Ao Cang clearly because of this, so she quickly wiped her tears with the back of her hand, and whispered in a crying voice: "Is it really you?" Vicissitudes? ”

Ao Cang wiped up her tears with his fingertips and nodded: "It's me, if it's a dish, don't worry about it yet, I'll help you treat the injury on your hand." ”

As he spoke, Ao Cang carefully picked up her swollen hand like a small carrot and slowly injected divine power into her fingers.

He didn't have much divine power to use, just helping her improve the frostbite on her fingers by half, he couldn't hold it anymore, and his body began to shake.

Seeing this, Qiao Mei quickly withdrew her hand and asked what was wrong with Ao Cang?

Ao Cang shook his dizzy head, not quite understanding why his divine power would be reduced so much as soon as he arrived here.

But now is not the time to dwell on this, after he lied to Qiao Mei that he was fine, he wanted to help her treat again, but she avoided her directly.

"Cangcang, don't lie to me, although I can't see your situation, but after you treated me for a while, my body can't stand steadily, you must be in trouble!"

After Qiao Mei finished speaking, she didn't care about washing the dishes, pulled Ao Cang to the side, took out a dirty plastic bag from the thin pocket of her clothes, and unfolded it layer by layer.

There seemed to be a few pieces of candy in it that she didn't know what the flavor was, and after she tore open the wrapping paper of one of them, she handed it to Ao Cang's mouth as if she was offering some treasure.

"Cangcang, take one and see, are you a little anemic to be like this? This candy is something I haven't been willing to eat for a long time, and although it's not as delicious as the sugar in the big city, it should be of some use. ”

The sugar in her hand was pale yellow in color and mixed with some impurities.

Just looking at it, I don't have any desire to eat.

But Ao Cang didn't dislike it, he opened his mouth and ate the candy, and by the way, he took another one from the cloth bag in her hand, tore it open and fed it to her.

Really said that anemia, he thinks, she is.

As for him, it's just that it takes too much divine power to do this.

"Hmm"

After being suddenly stuffed with a piece of candy by Ao Cang, Qiao Mei was stunned for a moment.

There were only three pieces of candy in the plastic bag, and now that she was suddenly eaten two, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious and panicked.

She wondered, the next time she was locked up by her father, would it be enough to rely on the remaining one?

But she didn't think long before she heard a rush of footsteps coming from not far away.

She subconsciously protected Ao Cang behind her, completely forgetting that others couldn't see him.

It was her father, and on a cold day, he himself was wearing three layers inside and three layers outside, and he also pedaled a pair of black cotton boots under his feet.

His face, which had always been ugly and fierce when he had treated Qiao Mei, had suddenly become much gentler.

Qiao Mei looked at the joy in his eyes, and subconsciously had a bad premonition in her heart.

"I can be regarded as finding you, go home with Lao Tzu, there is a great good thing waiting for you!"

She seemed to have guessed in advance what the great good thing he was going to say, and she didn't move her feet.

Seeing this, the man impatiently attacked her directly.

After grabbing her by the hair, the big hand dragged her back like a beast, and slapped her twice.

This kind of embarrassed appearance was displayed in front of Ao Cang so loudly, so that Qiao Mei's eyes couldn't stop the tears flowing out, and she didn't dare to look at him.

Although she couldn't see the specific expression on his face, she still felt very embarrassed, and even had the idea that it would be nice if he hadn't shown up today at such a moment.

Ao Cang didn't know what Qiao Mei was thinking at all, he saw her being treated so rudely by a man, and wanted to reach out and pull the man's hand away, but he passed directly through him and couldn't touch anything.

Qiao Mei didn't look at Ao Cang anymore, she didn't have much to eat, and her strength couldn't compare to her father who killed fish, so she was dragged back by him all the way like a dead dog.

Ao Cang followed closely behind, and he was relieved to find that after the man brought Qiao Mei home, he only threw her a set of clothes that looked new and beautiful, and did not do anything to her again.

"This is the clothes sent by Boss Wang, as long as you wear it and go out with him for a few days, you can get a lot of money, he is in the coal mining business, and others can't get a big deal if they want to, don't make trouble for Lao Tzu, hurry up and change your clothes!"

When Qiao Mei was washing vegetables and washing clothes and picking up garbage outside, she had heard of this kind of coal boss.

Knowing what kind of goods they are, very resistant.

For the first time, she rebelled in front of her father: "If I really don't want to go, can you force me?" ”

As she spoke, she took out a pair of copper scissors beside her and pointed them at her neck, the meaning was obvious.

But Father Qiao didn't lift his eyelids as if he knew that she would have such a reaction, and he didn't know where to get a rope, looked at the boy who was cowering in the corner, and walked towards him.

"You're really the opposite? What's in it here? Hurry up, if you don't go, Lao Tzu will let your brother go, anyway, your brother looks very similar to you, and he is a little more tender than you, Lao Tzu heard that the coal boss is not so particular, and it is the same to send your brother there!! ”

"Sister, sister, I don't want to go, sister save me."

While the boy was crying, Qiao's father also came to him and wanted to tie him up with a rope.

Seeing this, Qiao Mei glanced at Ao Cang, who was following her side and anxiously asked her not to agree, and after being entangled for a long time, she still said with numb eyes: "I'll go." ”

Little Qiaomei: Woo, I must be hallucinating.

Ao Cang: No. (distressed face)
