20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 210
The dinner was extremely lively.

Luo Ji's chef brought the guys to Jiang's house to chop stuffing, roll out the dough, and make dumplings.

The firewood in the stove pit seemed to never stop, and the drawer on the iron pot was lowered and put on again. There was no need to bother picking it up on the plate, and the steaming drawer was directly carried to the east and west rooms. In just a moment, it was eaten. Gotta be clean.

The dumplings are in the cage and the people are on the kang, but underneath they are the same fire.

If you don’t have five cauldrons of food in life, you will be cooked in five cauldrons if you die!
Those who eat people may not be comfortable, and those who are eaten may not be pitiful.

Today we have guests, and tomorrow we have lunch.

The only thing that is certain is that wealth can only be found in danger, without exception.

Everyone ate until their throats were full. Luo Ji's cook made more than a dozen drawers of dumplings and worked until midnight. After receiving the commission and reward from Hu Xiaoyan, he thanked and left.

Two people were left to keep vigil in the yard, and the lights in the main room and the side rooms were turned off one after another.

Si Fengkou led several half-sized small fans into the kitchen, took a small uneven iron basin, scooped some warm water from the pot, and poured out the rotten dumplings that everyone had just eaten. He went in, and then pulled a few cabbage leaves from the window sill. He didn't even wash them, he just threw them in, stirred them up, and took them outside the house.

Several people walked around the house to the backyard cellar.

Xiao Beifeng knelt down, pulled the iron ring, and opened the entrance to the cellar.

There was a "booming" sound, smoke and dust filled the air, and a strong stench hit our faces. People choked and covered their mouths with their noses.

The moonlight was cold and cold, illuminating the two or three earthen steps at the entrance of the cave.

Jiang's house's cellar is not big, with less than one foot into the ground and no more than six feet around. A slightly stronger person would not be able to straighten up even if he were placed in it.

Xiao Beifeng was young, so he walked down with the iron basin, left the food that he couldn't tell whether it was food or slop in front of the steps, then turned around and climbed up.

Everyone gathered around the entrance and leaned over to check, just like standing next to a tree hole, waiting for a squirrel to poke its head out.

After a while, there was a "rustling" sound in the cellar.

Everyone held their breath, but saw an unkempt, ragged, inhuman "thing" crawling out of the shadows hidden by the moonlight. It hurriedly came to the steps and without saying a word, pushed the black face into the iron. In the basin, I used both hands, regardless of whether they were dry or thin, I just grabbed them all and stuffed them into my mouth and swallowed them into my butt.

Si Fengkou saw this situation, but his expressions were different.

Xiao Dongfeng turned a blind eye and remained calm. The scenery in his eyes seemed to be the same as the grass, trees and gray stones. When he saw it, he saw it.

Xiao Nanfeng frowned and covered his mouth and nose. He only looked at it for a while and then said he wanted to go back to sleep first.

Xiao Xifeng sneered repeatedly, assuming the attitude of a winner, with a stern look in his eyes, as if this was the fate that the loser deserved.

Xiao Beifeng put his hands on his hips and curled his mouth. He looked unscrupulous and only used this scene as a mirror to reflect his own strength.

The "thing" in the cellar was lying on the ground, like a wild boar munching on food, and was busy "croaking and tugging".

In a short time, the iron basin was completely eaten away, leaving only a shallow pool of turbid water.

Immediately afterwards, the "thing" turned around, made a few "rustling" sounds, and then dived into the depths of the cellar where the moonlight was hidden, without saying a word.

Under the light north wind, I picked up the iron basin from the cellar, poured out the remaining water, then climbed up the earth steps and closed the entrance barrier.

There is a large white stone in the dead grass next to the entrance. It was originally going to be pressed against the baffle, but it seems that it is not necessary now.

"Let's go, let's go back to bed early!"

Xiao Dongfeng yawned and walked back to the front yard.

Everyone dispersed, leaving only two people to guard them.

Judging from the current situation, it won't be long before there is no need to keep these guards.

"Hey! Let's go, don't stand there stupidly!" Xiao Xifeng hugged Xiao Shitou's neck, "Sister Yao is Sister Yao, how old are you, on the [-]th of the New Year? There will be many beautiful women in the future, don't be depressed all the time! "

"That's right!" Xiao Beifeng echoed, "Follow Brother Dao and behave well. From now on we will walk sideways wherever we go!"

"Why do you want to be a crab?" Xiao Xifeng asked playfully.

Xiao Beifeng really imitated the crab on the spot and took two steps sideways.

Everyone was laughing and joking, and finally returned to the house.

Only Xiao Shitou was in a daze.

There was no anger in his heart, nor did he dare to be angry. He was more filled with fear and self-blame.

Although Xiao Shitou had some ignorant thoughts about Zhao Lingchun, he was still far from the relationship between a man and a woman, especially after seeing his sister-in-law's methods, and he would not risk his life for Zhao Lingchun.

He originally thought that his sister-in-law was a kind and good person, but this was not the case.

After all, he was just a child, and fear was far deeper and more intense than any other emotion.

Precisely because he was still a child, Hu Xiaoyan allowed him to make a mistake once, but only once.

However, from saving people to harming people, Xiao Shitou always felt a little bit guilty.

But then again, the reason why Zhao Lingchun has fallen into this situation is probably because she brought it upon herself.

If we look at it carefully, that night was already nearly a month ago...

…………

In the west wing of Jiangzhai in the north of the city.

"Snapped!"

Xiao Xifeng raised his arm, raised his hand and slapped Xiao Shitou so hard that his mouth and nose bleeded, and stars popped out of his eyes.

The candle on the table flickered twice in response.

Xiao Xifeng was so fierce that he yelled: "You heartless bitch! Let me ask you, who bought you this cotton-padded jacket?"

"Yes... my sister-in-law bought it for me." Xiao Shitou wiped the blood from his nose, tears falling down.

"Who bought you these cotton boots?"

"Also...my sister-in-law bought it for me too."

"You have been able to eat every meal these days. Who gave you the money?"

"Yes...it's the money my sister-in-law gave me."

"Snapped!"

Another big slap in the face!
"You still know that my sister-in-law gave it to you?" Xiao Xifeng grabbed Xiao Shitou's collar, "You can eat and wear my sister-in-law's clothes and don't even think about how to repay them. You're still holding back the bad things. I am still here for a brothel girl! Is that bitch your mother, or is your mother also a bitch?"

The other three vents on the kang and the small fan were silent at first, but upon hearing this, Xiao Nanfeng couldn't help but remind him: "Hey, Xiao Shuanzi, I've said that."

"Who are you calling Xiao Shuanzi?" Xiao Xifeng said angrily, "From now on I will be called Xiao Xifeng! I'm not one of your people. If he comes to me like this, isn't it a slap in my face?"

Everyone smacked their lips, shook their heads and sighed.

Xiao Xifeng's anger was still lingering, he raised his leg and kicked him again, right on Xiao Shitou's heart.

Xiao Shitou was unable to stand firmly and was immediately pushed to the corner, his head banging against the brick wall.

"You're such a white-eyed wolf, I shouldn't have saved you in the first place!"

Xiao Shitou quickly begged for mercy and said, "Brother, I, I was wrong. I really didn't know that my sister-in-law had a grudge against her."

It would have been better not to say anything. As soon as he said this, Xiao Xifeng's anger rushed to the top of his head. He was about to reach out and take out his gun, and cursed: "Fuck you piece of shit, are you still pretending to be stupid? Damn it." I’ll kill you with one shot!”

When everyone saw this, they hurriedly jumped off the bed to stop him.

Xiao Dongfeng hugged him from behind, Xiao Nanfeng clasped his right wrist, and Xiao Beifeng pressed his left shoulder, doing everything he could to stop the jealous mad cow.

"Hey, little Xifeng, what are you doing? Put down the gun! Put down the gun!"

"Are you crazy? My sister-in-law didn't say anything. Why are you so anxious?"

"Hey! Little Shitou, you're still dumbfounded, you should apologize to him quickly!"

After a lot of effort, everyone finally managed to push Xiao Xifeng to the edge of the kang and sit down.

When Xiao Shitou saw this, he didn't dare to show any cleverness anymore. He knelt down and kowtowed, wishing he could say all the soft words he had learned in his life.

"Brother, I was wrong. I never dare to do it again. I really never dare to do it again!"

The veins on Xiao Xifeng's neck popped out, and his chest heaved violently. He panted like this for nearly half an hour before slowly calming down.

This guy is too angry.

Everyone saw that he was gradually calming down, but they still didn't dare to let go. After another quarter of an hour, they felt that the tension in his body was dissipating little by little, and then they released their arms and let out a long sigh of relief.

Little Stone didn't dare to say anything anymore, but just knelt on the spot, trembling all over.

Everyone gave a few more words of advice.

Xiao Xifeng lowered his head, glanced sideways at the little stone, pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Is your head okay?"

"Ah? No, it's okay..."

"If it's okay, just stand up and don't be an eyesore! Get out of here, apologizing to me is useless, go kneel down for my sister-in-law!"

"Oh! Okay, I-I'll go right away!"

Xiao Shitou stood up hurriedly, patted his knees, and walked towards the door tremblingly.

"Hurry the fuck up! You're whining like a bitch!"

Xiao Xifeng raised his leg and kicked Xiao Shitou hard on the buttocks.

Xiao Nanfeng said: "Hey, it's almost done. He's just a child. Don't let it go on forever. Just wait for the sister-in-law's instructions!"

Xiao Xifeng cursed and took off his cotton boots and said, "Looking at his cowardice makes me angry. What the hell!"

……

In the east room, the jewelry on the Kang table was neatly placed, glowing with layers of golden light under the candlelight.

And these flickering golden lights were reflected in the eyes of the master and servant on the kang.

There is no one in the little girl's family who doesn't like gold and silver jewelry.

However, some people regard it as the icing on the cake; some people regard it as an indispensable part of their lives.

What you can put down will be gained; what you hold tightly in your hand will become a handful of quicksand.

Xiaohua's eyes were full of joy, but she only dared to enjoy it and never dared to play with it.

When Hu Xiaoyan saw this, she smiled and said, "Xiaohua, you're old too. Let's choose two of them depending on which one you like."

"Really?" Xiaohua was overjoyed.

Hu Xiaoyan nodded, moved back, and let her choose.

Xiaohua stretched out her hand and hung it in the air. She thought for a while, then retracted it. She smiled a little shyly and said, "Young lady, you choose first. If there is anything you don't like, just give it to me."

"I don't care about these things. If you like, just take two."

Seeing that Xiaohua was still a little hesitant, Hu Xiaoyan pretended to say: "If you don't choose, I won't give you any!"

"No, no, no!" Xiaohua said hurriedly, "I choose, I choose!"

After careful consideration and repeated weighing, Xiaohua's finger finally landed on a golden hairpin, and she asked confidently: "Young lady, is this okay?"

"Okay." Hu Xiaoyan said without even blinking, "Choose another one."

Xiaohua picked at her lips, put her fingers on a jade bracelet, and still asked, "Is this okay?"

"Row."

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door—a small stone.

"Sister-in-law, I, I know I was wrong." Xiao Shitou made a "pop" sound and fell to his knees.

Hu Xiaoyan tilted her head, looked at his face, opened her mouth, and asked, "Did Xiao Xifeng hit you?"

Xiao Shitou was startled and said quickly: "No, no, I just fell down by myself."

Hu Xiaoyan said coldly: "I'll give you another chance, think about it before we talk."

Xiao Shitou was so anxious that his whole body felt hot, and he felt wet and cold with a cotton jacket wrapped around him. He hesitated for a while and then said: "Sister-in-law, Brother Xifeng was angry that I went to tell the truth, and I was ashamed of how good you were to me, so I beat you." I’ll say it twice, I really have no other meaning.”

Hu Xiaoyan was very satisfied with this answer. She pointed to the back window and said, "Little Shitou, you don't have to blame yourself. With or without you, it won't delay us from catching her. You think of her good and want to save her, but in fact It’s okay. But remember next time, it’s none of your business, don’t get involved. If you dare to make mistakes again, just go down and accompany her.”

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I definitely won't dare to do it again, never again!"

"Yeah, little flower."

"I know, I'll get the medicine."

Xiaohua quickly turned over and got off the bed, took out the medicine box in the drawer, and applied medicine to Xiaoshi to reduce the swelling.

Hu Xiaoyan ignored it, just turned her head and looked silently at the cellar outside the back window.

The dark glass window reflected her own profile at the same time, which overlapped with the entrance to the cellar in the backyard and merged into one.

Hu Xiaoyan inevitably recalled her childhood...

……

At this moment, in the cellar in the backyard.

Zhao Lingchun was in the darkness, squatting on the dirt steps, pressing his shoulders against the cellar baffle, kicking his feet on the ground, desperately trying to open up a glimmer of hope for himself.

Needless to say, all this was in vain.

It seemed that every inch of skin on the chest, back, head and limbs was tingling, and every joint was unbearably red and swollen.

Zhao Lingchun didn't have much strength left, not to mention that there was a lock on the cellar's baffle and a big stone outside.

"Help! Is there anyone? Help! Jiang Xiaodao promised to let me go!"

The shouts were muffled underground, and they didn't sound as loud as the wind outside.

After shouting for a long time, his throat was dry and his head was dizzy. Zhao Lingchun finally sat down and sobbed softly.

She couldn't see her fingers everywhere, and even though she couldn't hear any sound, she always felt that there was another person squatting in the far corner, staring straight at her in the darkness and smiling evilly at her.

There seemed to be many snakes, insects, rats, and ants around, densely packed, crawling on the body unscrupulously.

Zhao Lingchun shuddered subconsciously and kept slapping his hands around.

She had been awake for a long time, but she didn't realize that all the gold and silver jewelry in her arms had disappeared.

It can be said that I forget to hold back my hands when I have enough time behind me, but I want to look back with no way out in front of me!
Perhaps, only at this moment could she realize that those things were just things outside her body.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

The air was turbid, and Zhao Lingchun felt dizzy. Only a small gap near the top of her head allowed her to breathe a refreshing breath.

The line between waking and dreaming is becoming increasingly blurred...

……

In the early morning of the next day, while the lingering dream was still lingering, a "rumbling" sound suddenly came from above my head.

Immediately afterwards, there was another "crunch", and a blinding white light rushed straight down, illuminating a bloodless face.

Zhao Lingchun raised his hand to cover his forehead with his arm, squinted his eyes, and looked up, only to see half-sized heads in a circle, looking down expressionlessly.

Zhao Lingchun subconsciously wanted to escape.However, as soon as she showed any signs of it, a big foot stepped on her face and kicked her in.

There was a burst of laughter from above.

Someone leaned down with a smile, stretched out his hand towards her, and said with a smile: "Come, I will pull you out."

Zhao Lingchun grew up in a romantic house. He had heard many sweet words from men, but he never took them to heart, let alone got emotional for them.

But now, such a simple sentence made her so moved that she almost cried.

She hurriedly and excitedly climbed up, took the man's hand, and climbed up. As soon as half of her head was exposed, five or six feet stepped on the top of her head and kicked her down hard.

Zhao Lingchun fell to the ground on his back, but he couldn't care less about the pain and was stunned.

Above the head, the man just now was shouting curses at the left and right: "Hey! Stop fucking making trouble! My sister-in-law wants to see her!"

The others curled their lips and found it boring.

The man leaned down again, stretched out his hand, and said, "Come on, don't be afraid. They don't dare to do anything anymore. I'll pull you up."

Zhao Lingchun nodded blankly. Although he was a little timid, he mustered up the courage to step forward and hold the man's hand.

However, the result remained unchanged. As soon as he climbed to the two extreme steps, he was immediately kicked and punched again and fell back into the cellar.

After coming down again and again, everyone enjoyed it.

Finally, it was still the same person who once again leaned down and lowered his head, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Come on! Stop making trouble, I will pull you up. This time it is true!"

Zhao Lingchun's eyes were empty, and he sat slumped on the ground, staring at the stretched out hand. He was stunned for a moment, and his expression gradually became frightened. He moved back on his hands and feet while shaking his head desperately.

"No! I won't! I won't go up, I won't go up!"

The man gave a few more words of advice.

Zhao Lingchun muttered to himself as if he was possessed by a demon, and occasionally screamed miserably.

"I can't go up...I can't go up...Help! Help!"

Seeing that he could no longer be persuaded, the man finally retracted his hand, laughed twice, and said to the people around him: "It's over, she's practicing adultery."

After he finished speaking, there was another burst of laughter from above his head.

The mocking laughter was extremely harsh, playing on Zhao Lingchun's tense nerves wantonly.

She suddenly broke down and cried: "You... what are you doing! Jiang, Jiang Xiaodao promised to let me go, help me..."

After crying for a while, another voice finally came from above, a woman's voice.

"Okay, it's almost done. Bring her here."

So, a few young men at the entrance of the cellar bent down and shouted: "Hey! Come out! This time it's true!"

"No, I won't! I won't go out!" Zhao Lingchun sobbed and retreated deeper, "I won't go out, I, I want to see Jiang Xiaodao, and he promised me."

"Stop talking nonsense and come out happily!"

"I don't...you, you lied to me..."

"Damn you, you are so damn annoying! Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Xiao Xifeng cursed and pushed away everyone, bent down and walked into the cellar, grabbing Zhao Lingchun's hair in the corner.

Zhao Lingchun whined and screamed, but Xiao Xifeng was also a strong young man in his late teens, so he was so cruel, how could he not be able to manipulate her?
After pulling and kicking him, in a short time, Xiao Xifeng pulled Zhao Lingchun out of the cellar and threw him on the ground. When he let go, there was already a ball of hair in his palm.

Zhao Lingchun was pressed from left to right and knelt on the ground.

The bright light was dazzling, and she waited for a while before she could clearly see the person in front of her - sitting on a wooden wheelchair, a woman of similar age to her and a somewhat familiar look, holding a white rabbit velvet sleeve in her arms.

Hu Xiaoyan tilted her head and looked at Zhao Lingchun's profile. When she saw a pink-white scar on her eyebrow bone, she suddenly understood.

"It's really you."

Zhao Lingchun was a little surprised. It wasn't until he glanced at Hu Xiaoyan's disabled legs that the memories of the past came to mind.

"Is...is it you? You, are you Jiang Xiaodao's wife?"

Hu Xiaoyan nodded: "Jiang Xiaodao is my husband, Hai Lao Owl is my father-in-law, and Chuan'erhong is my aunt."

Zhao Lingchun swallowed, knowing that he was doomed, but he still said with luck: "Sister-in-law, there must be some misunderstanding here! I... Jiang Xiaodao, my brother, he has promised to let me go, really, really, don't believe it , you can go ask him and let me go."

Hu Xiaoyan corrected her: "No, Xiaodao promised not to kill you. He never said he would let you leave Fengtian."

"Then...then I won't leave Fengtian, I beg you, don't lock me in there. By the way, I, I can go back to 'Huifangli', really, sister-in-law, I can make money for you, really Yes, I don’t dare to have any other ideas anymore, you believe me.”

"No, I don't believe you."

Zhao Lingchun was suddenly stunned.

This answer was so direct and simple that she didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Sister-in-law...I, uh..."

Hu Xiaoyan directly raised her hand to interrupt: "You don't have to say anything, I don't want to hear anything. I came to see you, just to confirm whether you were the girl I met back then. I have seen you now, Xiao Xifeng, please Take her back."

Hu Xiaoyan felt a little guilty.

If she hadn't been disabled and could have seen Zhao Lingchun with her own eyes earlier, maybe there wouldn't have been so many things later.

Xiaohua pushed the wooden wheelchair to turn her head.

The other boys immediately escorted Zhao Lingchun back to the cellar.

Zhao Lingchun struggled to no avail, but now he became anxious, crying and yelling: "Wait! Don't touch me! Don't touch me! Jiang Xiaodao and the others killed my whole family, and I seek revenge from them. What's wrong with me?" ? What's my fault? Ah! Wow! Yeah!"

Hu Xiaoyan suddenly asked Xiaohua to turn around for her, looked at the other party, and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Lingchun, at this time, you are like the daughter of an escort agency. But - there is only victory or defeat here, what does it have to do with right or wrong?"

"I!"

"The three of us are all children who grew up in Liaoyang. You are the eldest lady, and Xiaodao and I are both dead. Why do you think you have to be your eldest lady forever? I have been like this and I have never complained. , what are you complaining about? There are also those little fans like them. If we really want to elaborate, who is more miserable than the other? "

Zhao Lingchun felt like there was a lump in his throat and was speechless for a moment.

Hu Xiaoyan went on to say: "To say the least, your He family's Changfeng Escort Agency is clean? Your father He Lishan is brothers with Laobanzi from the thieves' den in Liaoyang City, and your father He Xinpei is befriended by Huzi from Green Forest Hill. , after all, isn’t it for your own business? Your family is doing less of this by cooperating with thieves and beards to defraud the boss’s money? You can hate it if you want, but if your He family dies, don’t blame others! "

"You are not allowed to talk about my father!" Zhao Lingchun struggled, "If you can, just kill me!"

"Okay!"

Hu Xiaoyan responded and took out the pistol from her arms. Her father and Xiaodao had taught her how to use it, but they had never tried it on a living person.

With a "click", the safety is opened, and with just a slight movement of the finger, a life is saved.

To die generously and achieve success with a knife is a saying on the stage. How many people in the world can do that?
There are so many people in the world who live worse than pigs and dogs, but they still grit their teeth and just live like that, living like animals.

Until he saw the dark muzzle of the gun with his own eyes, the instinct to survive immediately overshadowed the arrogant will.

Zhao Lingchun's bones instantly went numb, and with a "pop", he knelt down and begged for mercy: "Sister-in-law, I was wrong, don't kill me, don't kill me! I, I will go back by myself, I will go back by myself, and I will go back right away!"

Hu Xiaoyan snorted coldly, but did not embarrass her. He just allowed her to run away in panic amidst the laughter of everyone, and finally got into the cellar...

……

At night, meals in iron basins were placed on the earthen steps.

"Hey! Come here for dinner!" Xiao Beifeng shouted into the dark corner, "Why are you wasting your time! Hurry up!"

Zhao Lingchun walked out of the shadows tremblingly and looked down at the warped iron basin. The food in it was turbid, almost like a basin of dishwater.

"What...what is this?" Zhao Lingchun frowned, with the word "disgust" written all over his face.

"The leftover cabbage and tofu soup, there are two pieces of steamed buns in it. Huh? What's your expression?" Xiao Beifeng said dissatisfied, "What? You still picked it? When I was a child, I was begging for food on the street. If I can eat it, Such a meal, it’s just in time for the Chinese New Year, and you still dislike it, you are really shameless!”

Zhao Lingchun's stomach growled, but he still shook his head and said, "I don't want to eat it. You can take it back."

"Whether you want to eat it or not! My sister-in-law said, it's okay if you don't eat it. Anyway, this pot of food is just sitting here. When you eat it, you will have the next meal. If it takes more than three days, I will force it into your mouth. go!"

After saying that, Xiao Beifeng turned around and went up the steps, covered the baffle, fastened the padlock, and pressed down the bricks.

Early the next morning, Xiao Beifeng went over to check and found that the iron basin was still full.

He didn't say anything, just closed the cellar.

Early on the third day, Xiao Beifeng went over to check again and found that the food in the iron basin had not decreased.

Early on the fourth day, when everyone was about to rush in and force their way in, they were surprised to find that the iron basin was empty.

Xiao Beifeng hurriedly rushed into the east room happily and announced: "Sister-in-law, the kiln sister has eaten it!"

Hu Xiaoyan's mood was not affected in any way. She just responded casually and said lightly: "Remove the padlock on the baffle."

"Ah? What will happen if she runs away?"

"Withdraw." Hu Xiaoyan repeated.

Xiao Beifeng nodded: "Oh, I understand."

At first, Zhao Lingchun did not notice that the padlock on the cellar baffle had been removed.

She was getting weaker, both mentally and physically.

Many times, she couldn't even tell whether she was sleeping or awake.

Until one day, Zhao Lingchun dreamed of the past life in "Huifangli", with beautiful curtains, exquisite jewelry, delicious food...

These things that once pulled her into the abyss have now become thoughts that make her rise up and try to climb out of the mire.

She climbed up to the dirt steps in disbelief, and just like the first time, she squatted on it, lowered her head, supported the board with her shoulders, and pushed her feet on the ground, trying to open up a glimmer of hope for herself.

After trying this for a long time, the baffle still didn't move at all, and even she began to shake her head and smile bitterly.

In vain!

However, just when he was about to give up, Zhao Lingchun suddenly felt a cold wind blowing across his neck.

Her eyes lit up instantly - there was hope!

With this rush, Zhao Lingchun seemed to have regained his strength. He immediately clenched his teeth, not caring about the pain all over his body, and just pushed up with all his strength.

"crunch..."

The gap in the baffle is getting wider and wider, and my hands and feet are shaking violently as they are on the verge of exhaustion.

"Gollum..."

The big stone overhead rolled down, and the cellar's baffle suddenly became light!
Zhao Lingchun emerged from the ground, silently looked up at the crescent moon in the night sky, and exhaled a hot breath.

She didn't have time to breathe, and seeing no one around, she clawed at the snow, crawled out of the cellar, and stumbled to her feet.

I originally wanted to climb over the wall and escape, but I had no energy left, so I had to whisper around the house, glanced at the empty courtyard, and immediately rushed to the door of the house.

Carefully pushing open the half-foot gap, Zhao Lingchun did not forget to turn around to check what was going on, his whole body trembling due to excessive excitement.

Just as he was about to turn sideways and escape, a faint voice suddenly sounded outside the gate - "Ling Chun'er, what are you doing?"

Zhao Lingchun's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly took two steps back.

The door suddenly opened, and Hu Xiaoyan was seen sitting in a wooden wheelchair with a stiff face. Behind her stood Xiaohua, four vents and seven or eight half-sized small fans as usual. She was holding a whistle stick in one hand, smiling but not smiling. Staring at her, he blocked the door tightly.

"You... you..." Zhao Lingchun was cold and stuttering.

The little boy of [-] or [-] loves to tease people with his foul mouth. He immediately laughed at her and said, "Hahahaha! You have been fooled!"

Zhao Lingchun screamed and turned around to run, when a gust of wind suddenly hit his ears.

"Boom!"

The whistle stick struck diagonally on his back, as if it had been struck on the quilt, and there was only a muffled sound.

Zhao Lingchun immediately tensed up his limbs and arched his upper body, tears welling up in his eyes. He stretched his neck and opened his mouth, but there was no sound - this was really painful.

However, with no father or mother behind her, how could anyone care about her?
Before the pain here can be swallowed, it hits him again there.

Zhao Lingchun cried and howled loudly. He couldn't even open his eyes under the stick and could only run away with his head in his arms.

These little fanboys were all vying to show off their skills in front of their sister-in-law.

But upon closer inspection, it was clear that they were definitely not attacking randomly, they were coming prepared, just like the herdsmen herding sheep, driving Zhao Lingchun into the cellar in the backyard.

When Zhao Lingchun got back into the cellar, the few people stopped in unison and stood at the entrance holding whistle sticks, looking down at her fear with a smile.

After watching like this all night, everyone finally closed the cellar and laid down the bricks.

The most bizarre thing was that when the cellar door closed, Zhao Lingchun breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he was finally safe.

Next, for more than ten days, Hu Xiaoyan repeatedly lured Zhao Lingchun into taking the bait, either by asking people to pretend to be soldiers from the patrol camp and falsely claiming that Wang Yanzong had sent people to rescue him, or by deliberately leaving a loophole to make her think that she could rise up and resist. .

And all this is just to smooth out her edges.

Every time, Zhao Lingchun was inevitably beaten.

However, every time, when she returned to the cellar, everyone stopped beating her.

Hu Xiaoyan is familiar with all this, because this is exactly her past life.

She personally weaved a trap for Zhao Lingchun, then set the bait herself, and finally captured him herself.

Every time Zhao Lingchun received a severe beating, Hu Xiaoyan would personally give her medicine and ask her whether it hurt, whether she regretted it, or whether she complained.

All these fierce and gentle contradictory behaviors made Zhao Lingchun increasingly confused. The boundaries between grudges, love and hate were gradually blurring like the boundaries between waking and sleeping.

When she was shocked for the first time that she seemed to be expecting Hu Xiaoyan to give her the medicine in person, she saw the sickness deep in her heart.

This is a process.

The length of this period varies from person to person.It can take as little as a few months, as long as three to five years, or even longer, but one thing is certain - mortals can be tamed.

Losing her legs was certainly unfortunate for Hu Xiaoyan; but precisely because she had no legs, it was inconvenient to escape, but she retained some embers of hope, which rekindled after meeting Jiang Xiaodao.

Most recently, Zhao Lingchun had one of his legs broken because of his escape.

When she crawled back into the cellar covered in dust, she subconsciously closed the exit door for herself.

From then on, Hu Xiaoyan ordered the little fans to remove the masonry of the pressure plate. To prevent accidents, she also sent people in pairs to watch in shifts at night.

However, the strange thing is that since that night, Zhao Lingchun never took the initiative to open the cellar door.

While the little boy admired Hu Xiaoyan's methods, he also became more and more afraid of his sister-in-law, just like Zhong Yushan and others became more and more afraid of Jiang Xiaodao.

Jiang and Hu have taken shape, both inside and outside.

It can be said that everything is ready, all we need is the east wind!

Zhao Lingchun is about to collapse - it's only a matter of time.

Hu Xiaoyan personally regulated a new world for her.

In this world - hope is a trap, only the cellar is safe...
