As soon as the door opened, a panicked woman ran out quickly.

She looked back at the giant wolf that had suddenly jumped into the yard.

I didn't notice that there was a little guy standing in the doorway.

Shen Ningning hurriedly ducked to the side and was almost knocked down by her!

"Don't be afraid, this wolf is my family, and it won't hurt you easily!" The little one shouted at her.

The woman's feet softened, and she sat on the ground, her eyes shining in horror.

At this moment, Shen Ningning finally saw her appearance clearly.

In his twenties, he looks white and delicate.

Jet-black braids, and a little bit of the vermilion cherry.

Probably frightened by the Black Wolf King, with frightened tears in his eyes.

"This, this ......" she trembled and couldn't speak.

The Black Wolf King walked next to Shen Ningning and sat down obediently, looking at the woman calmly like a human.

At this time, the old village chief, father and son, hurriedly ran out of the house.

The two of them looked panicked, and only after seeing that it was Shen Ningning did they breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ning Ning, it turned out to be you, hey, it scared me." The old village chief patted his heart.

Shen Ningning blinked his big moist eyes: "Grandpa the village chief, what's going on, your house has been closed for more than a month, is it just for the Tibetans?" ”

The woman hurriedly stood up, patted the snow on her body, squeezed in through the crack in the door, and hid behind Uncle Deng without speaking.

Uncle Deng raised his arm as if to protect her, and glanced back at her.

Seeing them like this, Shen Ningning scratched her little face.

The old village chief knew that he couldn't hide it, so he sighed: "Ning Ning, you go into the house and talk about it." ”

A moment later.

Inside the warm house, the old village chief frowned and kept chewing on the tea stalks.

Uncle Deng sat silently on the chair beside him.

Shen Ningning was treated as a guest, and took the Black Wolf King to sit on the highest kang and watch them.

The woman stood silently beside her with a cup of brown rice tea.

The old village chief spoke at this time: "Ning Ning, her name is Ah Hua, and she is a hard-working person we rescued. ”

Subsequently, the old village chief explained the cause and effect clearly.

It turned out that she was sold by her own brother to a wealthy merchant in the town as a concubine.

The rich merchant likes to toss women, and several concubines were killed by him after they were sent to the door.

But he was generous and willing to pay five hundred taels to buy Ah Hua.

Ah Hua's brother agreed without saying a word for the sake of silver.

But Ah Hua didn't want to die like this, so the day before she was sent to the rich merchant, she managed to escape.

Afraid of being caught by her brother, she kept hiding outside and almost froze to death!

was kindly brought back by Uncle Deng, who was passing by.

Ah Hua begged Uncle Deng to take her in, not to drive her away, and to be a slave for the Deng family's father and son, washing and cooking.

Uncle Deng is a kind-hearted person, and after hesitating repeatedly, he discussed with the old village chief and left Ah Hua behind.

But they were afraid that Ah Hua's brother would report to the official, so the three of them rarely even went out.

Fortunately, they listened to Shen Ningning's words and hoarded a lot of winter clothes and bedding, as well as firewood.

There is no shortage of rice, flour and cured meat at home.

Usually, Ah Hua lives in the firewood room, helps cook and wash clothes, and occasionally dares to come out to sweep the snow when it gets dark.

After Shen Ningning listened, he looked at Ah Hua with complicated eyes.

"Is your surname Dong?"

Ah Hua immediately raised her head: "You...... You got it. ”

Seeing her eyes, Shen Ningning immediately confirmed that Ah Hua recognized her!

The little guy remembered that the last time Grandma fell, Ah Hua also immediately came out of the yard and helped Grandma Qin up.

Shen Ningning pursed her lips: "Dong Aniu has disturbed me three or four times for your business, if he hadn't been put in prison, my grandmother and I would not have a peaceful birthday." ”

Uncle Deng looked at Ah Hua in surprise: "You are actually Dong Ah Niu's sister?" ”

Dong Sanhua suddenly cried.

She got up and hurriedly knelt in front of Shen Ningning.

"County Lord, please don't arrest me and report to the official, my eldest brother and second brother are not the same thing, they all want to exchange me for silver, if I go back, there is only a dead end."

The old village chief was very surprised: "But you are also a relative of Grandma Qin, why didn't you ask her for help, but let us take you in?" ”

On Dong Sanhua's ruddy cheeks, tears rolled: "I'm afraid of ......"

Shen Ningning knew what she was afraid of.

"You're worried that grandma will know your identity and will persuade you to go back with Dong Aniu."

Dong Sanhua nodded silently.

Knowing her life history, Shen Ningning couldn't blame her.

said: "Actually, you don't need to worry, Dong Aniu was arrested and put in prison, and he can't be released for three months." ”

Dong Sanhua paused when she sobbed, and raised her teary eyes happily: "Really? ”

Immediately, she became worried again: "But my family ...... There's no going back. ”

Uncle Deng immediately said: "What are you afraid of, if you continue to live with me, I don't have any opinion." ”

The old village chief coughed twice, his face was serious, and he glanced at Uncle Deng with a stern gaze.

Shen Ningning blinked his watery eyes and saw it.

It seems that the old village chief is unwilling to continue to take in Dong Sanhua without explanation.

However, Dong Sanhua has nowhere to go, if she lets her grandmother know, she has to take her home.

But......

Shen Ningning felt compassion.

She didn't know Dong Sanhua's temperament, and she didn't know if she would be the same kind of person as Dong Aniu and Dong Ermu.

She spends a lot of time away from home, and if she is not at home, she will cause trouble for her grandmother.

Shen Ningning quietly handed the bowl to the old village chief.

"Grandpa the village chief, this bowl was given back to you by the madman."

The old village chief was about to take it with a smile, but Dong Sanhua stretched out his hands very brightly and took it.

Then she turned and went to the kitchenette, and in a few moments she was all washed up.

Refill a small bowl of fried peanuts and put it on the table.

Looking at her movements, Shen Ningning said softly: "Grandpa the village chief, although you don't go out much, the house is clean and tidy." ”

The old village chief only smiled, which was a response.

Uncle Deng couldn't help but praise: "This is all the credit of Sister Hua." ”

"Usually when I come with my father, she has already made breakfast, don't look at her youth, she can cook too many meals, and the taste is not lost to the sister-in-law Liu in our village at all."

Uncle Deng also pointed to the window flowers on the window, as well as the cold plums that Dong Sanhua went out at night and folded back.

"Look, that's all on her mind."

In the past, when Wang Qiaoer was there, she was lazy and lazy, and it was the first time Uncle Deng met such a diligent and virtuous woman as Dong Sanhua, and when he talked about it, his eyes were full of light.

Dong Sanhua was very embarrassed by what he said, lowered her head, and only touched her braids and smiled quietly.

The old village chief, who had not spoken, said: "Ning Ning, you should invite Grandma Qin over, and discuss where Dong Sanhua will go next, after all, it is her own niece." ”

Dong Sanhua's face froze, and the hand that touched her hair also hung down silently.
