Chapter 25 Dark Clouds (1)
After hearing this, Xiaohe couldn't help being a little surprised. She squatted down and looked at the child's black and white eyes: "How come there is no surname? Where does your family live?"

"Live in Chunhuayuan, it's over there." The child pointed to the east of the city, Xiaohe nodded knowingly, Chunhuayuan is the largest brothel in the city, and the children of the prostitutes in it don't know Who is the father, of course, there is no surname.

The child sighed, and lovingly touched A Yu's little face: "Then why don't you go back to Chunhuayuan? What are you doing here?"

"Mother was sick, and Aunt Chun kicked us out," the child said with a smile, "Mother wanted to leave a long time ago, but Aunt Chun refused to let us go. This is good."

Xiaohe suddenly didn't know what to say. Although it had been a long time since she came here, she had been living in Li's family, and then in the nunnery on the mountain, so she had never seen the one described in the history books. Although she knew in her heart that the life of the people would not be stable at this time, she never saw it with her own eyes. It was not until she escaped this time that she really saw all kinds of things.Li Yuanji's arrogance and domineering, Mrs. Wan's ungratefulness, the indifference and cruelty of officers and soldiers, the helplessness of the common people, and the unsecured life and humble social status of the women and children in front of them.Such a cannibalistic society made Xiaohe deeply painful and sad.She is not a wise man who is sympathetic to others, nor is she a sage with noble character, but from the perspective of a modern person, she feels deep disgust and pain for everything in front of her. Although modern times also have status and respect, no one will Like the people here, they have no respect for life and complete contempt. No one will leave with a casual smile after killing someone.How many years will it take to change this cannibalistic society?And she, this person who didn't belong here in the first place, can she still see that day?

She lowered her head to look at the abandoned child, and began to feel sad in her heart. Leaving for such a reason, although she escaped from the sea of ​​suffering, how should she live on.The enemy is about to attack the city, what should such a mother and daughter do?

Xiaohe thought about it, and suddenly laughed out loud, she was too busy to take care of herself, and still had the energy to worry about others.He shook his head and walked out.

"Sister!" The child suddenly ran up and grabbed Xiaohe's hand, "Sister"

Xiaohe turned around, "What's the matter?"

"Sister, can you sell me this dress? Look, I have this!"

The child took out a clay bowl from under his loose clothes as if offering a treasure, but there was half a bowl of clear water in it.

Xiaohe pulled down the child's raised hand and hurriedly looked around, but luckily no one noticed.Now everyone is extremely thirsty, if they see the water in this child's hand, they really don't know what they will do.

"Where did you find it?" The poisonous water in the well was blue and white, but this bowl was so clear that it was clean at first glance.

"There is an abandoned small well in the Chunhua Courtyard. I wash clothes there on weekdays, and I am the only one who knows." The child raised his face happily, "Sister, drink it, I'll get it when it's gone. But Don’t tell those people that it will be gone as soon as they go, there is not much water there, only a little.”

The child tried hard to describe the amount of water with his hands. Xiaohe looked at this child who was only four or five years old, and suddenly felt very sad in his heart. Did he already know how to guard against others at such a young age?
"So, how did you tell me?"

"Mom has been sleeping, it's too cold, and my body is cold. I want my sister's woolen clothes."

Xiaohe was startled, and quickly grabbed the child's arm, "Where is your mother? Take me to see."

The child thought she agreed, and happily dragged Xiaohe to a Guanyin temple.

The woman nestled in the corner motionless, her body was cold and her face was pale, Xiaohe knelt down and reached out her hand tremblingly.

After a long time, Xiaohe's hands began to tremble uncontrollably, she bit her lower lip tightly, her mind went blank, looking at the child's clear eyes and hopeful little face, she suddenly didn't know what to say What, just sitting there kneeling in a daze.

"Sister, do you want to change?" The child urged in a low voice, and then offered a high price as if he had made up his mind, and whispered in Xiaohe's ear, afraid that others would hear, "If you change to Me, I'll take you to that well, drink as much as you want, I mean what I say."

Xiaohe's lips were trembling slowly, and suddenly she hugged the child, tears fell like broken beads and hit the child's small face.Seeing her crying sadly, the child stretched out his chubby little hands to wrap her head around her head, gently shaking her, humming softly like a mother coaxing the child to sleep.

Xiaohe's heart became more and more sad.She burst into tears uncontrollably, and everyone in the temple turned their heads to look at them, then shook their heads and turned around, as if they understood something, but said nothing.

After a long time, Xiaohe gradually calmed down. A Yu stretched out her dirty little hands and wiped Xiaohe's face in a mess. Xiaohe didn't speak, but just let her wipe.After wiping, Ah Yu lowered his head to look at Xiaohe again, "Sister, do you want to change it?"

Xiaohe raised her head and forced a smile: "Change!"

The child cheered and came up to take off Xiaohe's clothes, and blocked Xiaohe who was sitting on the ground with her small body, took out the bowl of water that she had been holding tightly in her hand, and handed it to Xiaohe, urging in a low voice, " Drink fast drink fast."

Xiaohe drank the water and felt that his strength had recovered, so he took off his clothes and handed them to the child. Ah Yu struggled to get over the woman's body, and then put it on for her. The woman's body was already stiff , but Ah Yu didn't know, and only said that his mother was sleeping. Seeing that her body was cold, she took off her little clothes and wrapped them around her mother's body, but it still didn't work, so she thought of that place. Sister in fur coat.The clothes didn't fit very well, Xiaohe's figure was too thin, Ayu's mother couldn't fit it at all, so she could barely cover it, but the child still buttoned it up hard.Then she patted her mother's face with a smile: "It's not cold now."

Xiaohe secretly turned her face to the side, and quietly wiped away the tears that flowed down.My heart was throbbing violently. Such a child lost his only family member and became an orphan all at once. How would he survive in such turbulent times?She suddenly thought of herself many years ago, looking at Ah Yu who was younger than herself back then, the world is so big, where is her place to live and work?

Suddenly there was a sound of noisy footsteps, and then a group of people rushed in ferociously, looking around, but when they saw A Yu who was behind Xiaohe, he suddenly grinned.Looking at their expressions, Xiaohe suddenly seemed to understand something, a word suddenly popped up in his head, eat it after changing it, and cook it after dissecting it!
