Binding feet also looked through the almanac, and saw the exact date, and it was unshakeable.

Dingyi asked the nanny to pull her out of the hot blanket, and she was only five or six years old at that time before she was enlightened.Rubbing his eyes, he pulled on his shoes and stood in front of the bluestone anvil in the yard.

Her mother looked at her with her hands tucked in, with no expression on her face, "It's time, I can't be fooled today. It was supposed to be wrapped for you when you were three years old. I loved you at that time, so I didn't give up. Look now, and then If you delay, you will suffer even more in the future." While talking, he nodded his head and turned around, and clapped his hands at the nanny, "Go to work!"

Dingyi looked up, and saw two old women with big needles pinned to their skirts came over and squatted down, "Don't be afraid, sister, people are small and soft, just like knocking on mud, you can nest into whatever you want It looks like this." He took out a pair of red embroidered shoes with embroidered gold flowers on the upper, which looked like a pair of small water chestnuts, and held them in the palm of his hand and handed them to her, "Look at them, don't they look good? We can put them on after we finish wrapping them up." .”

Dingyi was still young, and he was afraid when he saw the tip of the rice dumpling protruding from the trousers of the old mothers.The women around her had small feet. Her mother was the wife of Du Yushi, with a very respectable status. She wore a red railing skirt with a cloud-cut pattern on the skirt door. She couldn't even see the tip of her toes when she walked, and she had small feet.As far as the treatment of feet is concerned, the Han army flag is not as good as the Wuyin flag. The Han people pay attention to the three-inch golden lotus for thousands of years.Dingyi's father's hometown is Datong. Datong's feet are thin, small, pointed, curved, fragrant, soft and upright, and are famous all over the world.This is a pain for the girls, and the conditioning is more stringent than other places.

With a sound of "Boom", the girl smashed the porcelain bowl, and picked up the porcelain pieces, what are they doing?Wrapped in a foot wrap.Porcelain slices were cut on the flesh, and the flesh was blurred, rotten, and smelly. The toes were broken and the insteps were arched, so that a pair of small feet could be shaped.

For the sake of looking good, women can do anything, just looking at it hurts so much!Dingyi had tears in his eyes, grinned like a ladle, "I see... let's wrap it up tomorrow!"

It's been two years since today's pushing tomorrow and tomorrow's pushing back.This time her mother was determined, and she had to say anything.

No one paid attention to her, the old lady took off her shoes, rubbed the soles of her two delicate feet together in the palm of her hand, and stuffed them into the belly of the open cock.

It was hot and sticky, and the hairs on Dingyi's back stood on end.The two chickens were still flapping their wings, their internal organs were full of blood, they were not dead, and a certain part was touching the soles of her feet, beating loudly.

This time, I'm afraid it's doomed, and I'm stuck in a dead end, there's no way out.Just being discouraged, the western half was dark and turned into the bottom of the pot, and the clouds rolled and stretched to the top of the head. The girl looked up and hollered: "Madam, it's going to drop a bit, the heavy rain is coming!"

As soon as he finished speaking, raindrops as big as kidney beans fell down without thinking, so he didn't care about anything, he pulled his feet out of the chicken's chest and ran back.The old lady has small feet, she bumped when she ran, and bumped Dingyi so much that she couldn't find her way.

Anyway, the torrential rain was so wonderful that it disrupted the ceremony of binding her feet, Dingyi unloaded her shackles, and Le Diandian rode on the second bench, watching a few slaves who gave birth to children and scolding the children, and they were still booing and kicking the seedlings, "Training Well done, the child has to speak, and the little tree has to be slapped."

Turning the other day, her mother looked at the day again, just as she was about to leave her things, a group of people came in through the door, all wearing official uniforms of the yamen.The leader was a prince, wearing a red-tasseled straw hat, and his voice was full of Beijing rhyme, and he shouted loudly: "The women lie on the floor, and the men are all tied up!"

Dingyi didn't know what happened, so he tried his best to raise his head, but was restrained by the nanny, who covered her mouth with one hand to keep her from making a sound.Her mind was dizzy, her surroundings were chaotic, the portrait fell into the iron bucket, only the white window paper was seen, and the window grilles of magpie and emerald grass were stuck in the middle of the lattice.

The wind is really strong, blowing over the corners of the eaves and branches, humming and humming, it is frightening.Her mother knelt in front of Prince Zhuang and kowtowed, "There must be some misunderstanding here. Wen Lu's loyalty to the master can be learned from heaven and earth, and his promotion was watched step by step by the prince. Over the years, he has worked hard and devoted himself to the court. Where there is an omission, it is inevitable for people to live in the world. My lord...Your lord, you are a living Bodhisattva, you will transcend life, save our lord's life!"

Prince Zhuang looked down and ordered Geshiha to help him up. He frowned and said, "It's not that I don't want to help. This matter was ordered by the Lord Long Live, and I can't be the master. Since the palace has issued an order, I will take care of it first." It's important to hand over the errand, and it's not too late to discuss later. Just wait until the case is cleared, and if you are wronged, you will naturally be fair."

Dingyi's father works in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Zhang Jing is quite a big man. He has always been the only one who takes care of people. I didn't expect the feng shui to turn around today.Mrs. Wen begged for a long time, "Where did it come from? Tell me, you are the one who has done good deeds."

The prince tucked his nose, "Last year, the Metropolitan Procuratorate judged a case, which was the matter of Master Wen Lu. Several high-ranking officials were involved in it, and they were all executed. Now that the case has been brought up for retrial, someone has to take the lead... Our two families are friends, what am I talking about? Don’t try to make things difficult for selfish interests, he promised, but he didn’t listen to me after all. Something bad happened right now, whether you can save your life depends on fate! "

Her father and elder brothers were taken away, Dingyi felt that the sky was about to fall, all the women in the room were shocked, no one could think of a way out.Although Ding Yiren is young, she actually understands everything. She shook her mother's leg with tears in her eyes and tried her best to comfort her, "Madam, don't worry, the master will come back as soon as he blows a fox whistle." midnight.

Some things can't be turned around, just like holding water with your hands, no matter how hard you use it, the flow will flow.Dingyi was holding a small fishing rod, sitting on the edge of the pond fishing for goldfish, with people coming and going behind her, she didn't dare to look back.The family can't support so many people, the wife has to do the oil bowl, and she sells the pot and sells the iron to go out the back door to fill it out. Her father was sentenced to be executed and jailed. He thought it was embarrassing to go to the vegetable market, so he untied his belt and hanged in prison.As for her three elder brothers, the imperial court thought that her father "has a little work", and sentenced her to exile with mercy, and sent them to Changbai Mountain to dig ginseng.

Such a good home, it was scattered in a blink of an eye, how terrible!Fortunately, the crime is not as bad as the three clans, and the female relatives are still safe.She raised her head and looked at the sky, two chirps flew over, her father and brother were gone, what was left of the Wen family now?Dou Da's tears fell down, making two circles of ripples on the water.

The population is getting smaller and smaller, the house is getting smaller and smaller, and the big house is replaced by a small one. In the end, there are only three people left in the family. She sleeps in the west wing with the nurse at night, and the wife sleeps in the main room alone.

Sweat crawled across her cheeks like worms. She raised her arm to wipe it off. She couldn't sleep because of the heat, so she rolled over and sat up.The beeping sound of firewood burning was still in my ears, and I looked back suddenly, the flames were burning outside, the upper room was on fire, and her mother was still inside!She was so frightened that she cried loudly, as if the nurse had fallen asleep, she was so anxious that she slapped her big ears and woke her up.It didn't help when I woke up, I got garlic under my feet on the kang, and fell on the pedal.Carrying her out to find his wife, the fire in the main house was too high, the eaves were twisted in the heat wave, and his wife could not be seen.

There is nothing left, and I can no longer be without a mother!She broke free and rushed forward with all her might, but the nanny grabbed her and wouldn't let her go. She stomped her feet and cried hoarsely, "Ma'am... come out..."

His chest felt like it was being crushed by a millstone, and it hurt so badly that he couldn't scratch it.Surrounded by hot flames, she felt that she should die here. In despair, a cool hand covered her forehead and called her quietly, "Tree, is this a dream about whose wife? That wife is pretty, look at this burning face!"

She regained her breath, opened her eyes, the lights were like beans, and in front of her was the backlit face of her senior brother.

"Having a nightmare? Crying and shouting, so scary!" Seeing that she was short of breath, the brother opened the cabinet door to find a medicine gourd, poured two Rongxin pills to feed her, and stood in front of the kang and said, " Do you know that Anba Lingwu? It was drawn by the previous son, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice handed over the book, and the old man Long live made a delimitation, and asked to be executed immediately at noon tomorrow. I don’t think you will be able to be a job, so I’d better return to the master. Rest at home!"

She said no need, "I'm not here, who will hold the knife for the master?"

After listening to the smoky teeth, the senior brother said, "You are capable, you can't get out of this red job without you!"

She heard him and looked at him, "Why don't you come?"

Her elder brother turned his back with shy eyebrows and drooping eyes, covering half of his face and muttering, "Why do you have a toothache..."

It's not a toothache, it's a rib fork pain!It's not unreasonable for this kid to wilt when he mentions holding a knife.Eating this kind of food, the face and ability are all on the knife.This knife is evil, and it is usually worshiped on the gate of Xuanwumen, and it is more difficult to serve than the uncle.Please ask for joss sticks and paper horses to worship and kowtow before. If you are not clean, you can’t get close to them. They are either extremely yin or extremely yang. Those who have lost their virginity cannot touch them.No matter how well the blade is sharpened, if it is curled in an emergency, the flesh and blood will not be separated when it is cut off, and if it gets stuck on the neck and cannot move, the reputation of the knife and axe will be ruined.

Having said all this, I turned around and said that I was on a red mission.What is a red mission?The prisoner who committed a crime was beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market, and that one was called a red messenger.The prisoner himself is reluctant to leave Yang, and he needs someone to give him a ride on the way. It doesn't matter, there are people waiting on the execution ground. The one who wears a red scarf and fast boots does this, and is commonly known as the executioner.Executioner, it sounds like a scary job, but in fact, it is also for a living.Dealing with Lord Hades in this kind of business is very vicious, and most people dare not provoke him.The work is light and the salary is high, so he won't change it for any master, and now Dingyi worships under Wu Changgeng, the most famous knife head in Shuntian Mansion.

How did a good girl get into this business? It's a long story to say.To put it simply, her mother was burned to death at that time, and the small courtyard was also burnt to the ground. The nurse took her to the two relatives, and they all said that the family was dead, the exile was exiled, and she was left alone. It can be seen that fate is hard, and no family is willing to take her in.The tree fell and the monkeys scattered. It has been like this since ancient times. There was no other way. In the end, I had to follow the nanny back to Sanhe County.

The nanny's family is not rich, the old man is gone, and the family room is next to the brother's room, the sister-in-law often quarrels, the man is not good enough, and life is very difficult.Fortunately, the nanny was a shrewd person, so she took her back to raise her as a boy, and changed her name to Xiaoshu after their family name was Mu.Everyone knows that girls are inconvenient in many places and are easy to be picked up by others, but boys are stronger.That's it, the man in the nanny's nest was still muttering, "Brother She, thanks to you for being a treasure. The head of the village has no sons, so I can send my brother to their house to live a good life, and we can exchange Two bags of cornmeal, isn't it nice?" You know she's a girl, and sooner or later she'll do harm to her.Selling it to someone as a child bride is at best, but at worst it is selling into a kiln.My own flesh hurts by myself, and other people's daughters don't take it seriously when they are cut into pieces.

The nurse is really reluctant to part with her. In the past two years, her son has lost all her flowers, and the nurse is half a boy.It's a pity that the longevity is short, the old emperor fell ill the year he abdicated, and the new emperor changed his life in spring and left.Counting with your fingers, five or six years have passed, and Dingyi was only 12 years old at that time. It's time for the 12-year-old half-grown child to make a living. She has a wink, knowing that staying in Mu's house will bring no good fruit, so she carries water and grinds for Wu Changgeng's old mother with her tail between her legs.People saw that the child would be shrewd, so he let go of his disciples and brought them back to Beijing.
