Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 253 Sleeping in the rough
Everyone stood up one after another, and stared at the past with their torches in unison.

The little girl in the old dog's hand was illuminated by the flames, his eyes hurt and tears welled up, but he shut his mouth all of a sudden, hugged his head with his hands, and curled up.

The old dog froze for a moment, his eyes flickering.

He knew this position. If a person is beaten often, he will usually involuntarily learn these little ways to avoid injury.

The old dog has been hanging out on the street since he was eleven or twelve years old, and being beaten is commonplace.

A dozen torches lit up the night sky.

The little girl's face was dark, her hair was disheveled, and her body was covered in mud. Her exposed neck and hands were covered with bloodstains and scars.

The old dog was a little at a loss, and glanced back at his little lady: "... San Niang."

Gu Xiang sighed: "Let the brothers take a look around. Qiuli... you and Xueying take her to wash her well first."

Although Gu Xiang's eyes can hide secrets, I'm afraid there are very few, but when you go out, you should be more careful. She looks like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old doll, and she is born as thin as a stick, which is pitiful, but Who knows if there are other things hidden under this immature skin.

In about a quarter of an hour, the soldiers under the old dog returned from patrolling around and returned to their orders.

"This little girl came from the east along the river, [-] to [-]% are from Dongwa Village and Dahe Village, and I haven't seen any traces of it."

The old dog nodded.

Although these soldiers are just from the brave army, in the eyes of the elites of the imperial army, they are useless, but to be honest, the old dog picked these few, they are all covered with fur and monkeys Excellent master, especially when it comes to this meticulous work, even ten imperial guards can't match one of them.

Qiuli and Yingying boiled three big pots of hot water in one go, and they barely washed the little girl clean.

It is said to be clean, but it is still gray, the weather is not good, she is hiding in the mud pile, she is like a whole, no wonder the brothers who patrolled at dawn did not find her in the first place, and they have to wait until the old dog comes shot.

After the little girl was washed, there was really no way to tidy up her hair. Qiu Li was so cruel that she shaved all of her hair.

"This little girl actually didn't cry, I still have to work hard."

Qiuli pulled out her own jacket and dressed the child neatly, until it covered the child's ankles, it could be worn as a robe.Then he led her to send people outside Gu Xiang's tent.

The little girl stared at the porridge in the pot, and Gu Xiangsheng was afraid that she would grab it directly, so he hurriedly asked Cherry to serve her a small bowl: "Taozi took care of the child, let her eat slowly, not too much, at most give her more Add half a bowl."

Cherry responded quickly.

Xue Ying suddenly said: "Add a few dates and cook for her to eat."

She laughed and said again: "At this time, it will be very happy to eat something sweet."

Gu Xiang was taken aback.

Cherry's hands trembled, and she looked around in a daze: "The sun is really..."

Hit the west and rise.

Since Xue Ying came to his little lady's side, he is really capable, and has good manners, but he is a boring gourd. He doesn't talk about business all day long, and doesn't go anywhere when he is free. He is either meditating or in a daze.

Cherry and Qiuli admired Xue Ying 120,000 points, and felt that she could compare all the maids in the world to dust.

But with Xueying's temperament, they also knew that apart from the little lady, even the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu didn't care about her in her eyes, as if there was nothing in this world worth her looking at except Sanniang.

"I just found out today that our sister Xueying is also a real person after making a fuss for a long time."

Qiu Li sighed, while she went to dig out the red dates that her little lady personally beat, removed the pits, cooked them with the porridge, cooked for a while, and served them to the little girl who happened to meet by chance.

Seeing the child eating, Gu Xiang suddenly felt very uncomfortable, like a lump in his throat.If her diners were all people who looked like this child, she would have died long ago.

After the child ate half of the bowl, and then another half, Gu Xiang hardened her heart and asked her to put the bowl down. At this time, the little girl couldn't hear or understand the words that she said that she was hungry for a long time and should not use more. After scolding a few times with a sullen face, she withdrew her hand and looked over timidly.

Gu Xiang eased his face, and said softly: "You have been hungry for too long."

She smiled: "Let's take another hour's rest and let Qiuli bake you a piece of soft pancake and have a small bowl of porridge, okay?"

The little girl's eyes were wide open, tears rolled down, she quickly raised her hand to wipe it off, but she didn't wipe it off for a long time, she only knelt down on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed several times to Gu Xiang.

"My lord, Zhao Di will not eat your food for nothing."

As she spoke, she pulled out her sleeve for a while, and took out a small piece of silver with black stains, and handed it over.

"My eldest sister gave it to me. It is said that it can only be used when it is fatal. Now is the time to die."

The little girl said solemnly, "I would like to buy two...three cakes from the nobleman. Is this enough?"

Gu Xiang was silent for a while, the little girl was not enough, and the expression on her face suddenly became a little decadent: "I have to walk for six days before I can reach Guzhuang, and I need three yuan for half a cake every day."

Qiu Li was suddenly surprised, looked at her little lady, and asked with a sullen face: "You little girl is alone, and you still want to walk for six days in the wilderness by yourself? What are you going to do?"

The little girl whispered: "I want to go to the imperial envoy."

Gu Xiang looked back at Zhao Ying.

The little girl's voice became weaker and fainter in the wind, "Ms. Li's former man in our village has been dead for three years... that man is dead. Why can't Mrs. Li want to marry someone else? Why not? Because of this, Mrs. Li must be drowned in the pond? The ditches in our village are so dirty, and the bamboo cages are so small, how uncomfortable and painful it would be to be trapped in the sinking water?"

"They say that Mrs. Li is not a woman... When Wang Dabiao was still alive, he beat Mrs. Li every day, even when she was pregnant, and beat a girl who was in shape...Everyone in the Wang family complained. Lady Li didn't leave a seed for that bastard...why?"

The little girl said angrily, "I, I'm going to seek justice for Mrs. Li!"

Qiu Li looked at her dark face with anger, as if there was a knife in front of her, and she would rush through it.

"In these years, my mother has been too busy and always forgot to leave food for me. When Mrs. Li sees me every day, she always distributes her rations to me. She eats rice bran by herself and cooks porridge for me. Pancakes with fine flour... Even during the two years of the famine, I didn't starve to death, it was because of Lady Li who helped me... There is no one better than her in the village."

"I heard that the imperial court encourages widows to remarry. Not only will they not refuse, but they will also reward them. Our lady Li is a widow, and the county magistrate will beat me even if she doesn't care about it. But the imperial envoy, the imperial envoy is a high-ranking official. I heard that it is an official sent by the emperor. , he should take care of it."
