Dongli drinks wine after dusk

Chapter 97 Powerless to Resist
There are more than a dozen chickens raised in the yard, and Tian Guang's daughter-in-law Li Shi is touching eggs in the chicken coop.It's hot in summer, and the chickens are also lazy. There are only three eggs in the nest today. Mrs. Li cursed in a low voice, picked the eggs out, and complained to Tian Guang.

"There are two old hens at home and they want to hug their nests, so they can't lay eggs well, let alone expect it now, it's better to kill them to make up for Bao'er."

Tian Guang paused for a while in weaving the baskets, and wanted to justify a few words. As for his child's body, which was almost fatter than him, he didn't need supplements. Thinking about his wife's aggressive temper, he swallowed his words again, and only agreed. Said: "Then kill it." It's just a chicken.

"After eating the morning food, you go kill the chicken and stew it in the afternoon." Mrs. Li walked to the kitchen, and after a while, there was a smell of rice, and a boy's voice sounded in the room: "Mother, mother, I want to eat chicken cakes! "

A fat figure appeared at the door of the house, he took a breath, then turned sideways and squeezed out from the door, his huge belly was almost stuck.

"Yo~ my little one~ why did you come out alone? Where's the lotus?" Mrs. Li hurriedly supported her sweaty son and yelled into the room: "Lotus! Lotus! Are you dead? If you don't come out again, Tomorrow I will send you to Lord Dog!"

A petite figure also appeared, holding the quilt in her hand that was taller than her, seriously obstructing her sight, she staggered out, and when she heard Li Shi's words, she was so frightened that she almost wanted to kneel down.

If you want to cry, you dare not cry, if you want to move, you dare not move.Fortunately, Mrs. Li suddenly remembered that she had asked her to clean up the house. Taking advantage of the sun, she took out the quilt to dry, so she scolded again: "You stupid girl, who told you to clean up now? The house is not ready yet. When you eat, where are you going to put it in the sun? You will be hungry for two meals today, and you will remember it long!"

Lotus had no expression on her face, and quickly hung up the quilt in a sunny place, covering the sunlight under the eaves.

Mrs. Li set up the table and put food on the table. There were three pairs of bowls and chopsticks in total. Obviously not giving lotus rice was more than just cursing.

"Oh, my darling, eat more, you're already skinny." Li put most of the bowl of egg cake into her son's bowl, and gave the rest to her husband, while she scraped the bottom of the bowl and tasted the salt. taste.

Tian Guang's food is very good. Now it is not a busy season for farming, and the sun is poisonous. Most farmers' breakfast is millet porridge that is so thin that it can be eaten, with some pickles. Pick a handful of shallots or two cucumbers in the yard. Okay, let's spread some black flour pancakes.

And his family’s morning food, a pot full of rice porridge, so thick that it can stand up to chopsticks, a small pot of fresh vegetables from various courtyards, oily fried pickle sticks, and golden chicken cakes, with two drops on top Sesame oil, the smell can make people move their index fingers.

Lotus' stomach rumbled in aggrieved manner, but she knew that this meal would not be her share, so she swallowed, went to the kitchen and took out two large wooden buckets, and went out to fetch water.

Staggering out of the house, she suddenly realized that she could fly, and before she could utter a scream, her mouth was covered!
In panic, she rolled her eyes and fainted!
"The subordinate is not good at work, please punish me!" After listening for a long time, I finally found the target person's house, caught the little girl who went out of their house, and wanted to bring her back to ask her confession. Who knew she was so timid.

A normal person would be taken aback by being taken away suddenly, let alone a child!Zhao Dongzhang stared at the mindless guard: "You stabbed the betel, you are responsible for waking them up."

When Lianhua felt the cold water on her face, she opened her eyes again, and saw that she was surrounded by a group of men, and she almost fainted from fright again.

"Girl dolls, don't be afraid!" Jiang Wenyuan signaled the crowd to disperse, put on the most kind smile, and had a good meal to appease.

"Grandpa, please forgive me. I have no money, and I'm worthless. Please let me go!" If you don't hurry back to pick up the water, you may have no food tomorrow.

"Girl, what's your name? Grandpa is not a bad person, so don't be afraid." Jiang Wenyuan took out a dozen copper coins: "I'll ask you some questions, and if you answer them, I'll give you these coins, okay?"

The copper plate is a good thing, Lotus recognizes it, and knows that it can be used to buy food. With the copper plate, she doesn't have to be hungry, so she nodded like pounding garlic, her eyes fixed on Jiang Wenyuan's hand.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Lotus." As soon as the little girl finished answering, Jiang Wenyuan handed over a copper coin. She took it carefully and smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth. "Grandpa, what else do you want to ask?" She was eager to get the remaining copper coin .

"The ones who live in the yard are your parents?" The guards only knew that she was from the family of Tian Guang, the target of this investigation, but they didn't know if she was their own daughter or a child bride.

"I... I was brought back by them." With another copper coin in hand, the little girl put down her guard completely, blinking her eyes and waiting for Jiang Wenyuan to ask the next question.

"Before you, you lived in Jishantang in Anqing Mansion?" Jiang Wenyuan suddenly remembered that Sun Shuanzi had mentioned that his sister had suddenly disappeared, and it seemed that her name was Hehua.

"?" He Hua was at a loss, not knowing how to answer this question, what was the name of the place she used to live in?do not remember.

Jiang Wenyuan had no choice but to put it another way: "Do you have an older brother, both of your parents died, and you live in a place with many old people and dilapidated houses? There is also a beautiful lady who cooks for you?"

Lotus's eyes lit up, and she asked: "Yes, yes, Grandpa, do you know my brother? Can you take me back? They treat me badly, they don't give me food, they always scold me and beat me. Let Lord Dog come and take me away. Woooooooooo~~~"

Although the cost of food and clothing was not good before, she could still eat enough and shelter from the rain, and she didn't have to do a lot of heavy work that was beyond her physical strength. She missed her brother, and she regretted that she was disobedient and had to wash her face clean. To be sold to such a place is to be called heaven and earth.

"Don't worry, tell me what your brother's name is, and what's your name?"

"My name is Sun Hehua, and my brother's name is Sun Shuanzi!" The little girl replied loudly.

"Lotus, who is the dog master they are talking about? Why did you let the dog master take you away?"

Hearing Master Dog's name, Sun Hehua flinched and said tremblingly: "Dog, Master Dog is a bad guy! He, he, he caught, took away, and took away the other sister."

"They said, sooner or later, Master Dog will come to take me away. They raised me for Master Dog. They said that if I feel that life is hard now, it will only be more bitter in the future. Master Dog will sell me to an unclean place. , or kill me."

Little children have already understood what an unclean place is, and also understand the meaning of death.But she was powerless to resist such a fate.
