The girl named Wei Yao brought A Xiu and Lan Shuang back home.

The family was a family of three. The man was a hunter in the mountains. They lived on the edge of the Yuguan Mountains.

After listening to Wei Yao's introduction of the two people's experiences, the man and his wife were very sympathetic. There was still a lot of food in the house. They made some food for A Xiu and Lan Shuang, and then settled them down temporarily.

Lan Shuang and A Xiu were like weeds on the roadside. They could survive with some water. After a few days, the two of them regained some vitality.

They also knew that they would be grateful if they had given them something, so they often helped with firewood and water. They did not dare to slack off.

Wei Yao also became familiar with the two. They were of similar age and naturally got along well.

"Wei Yao, come!"

From a distance, the man's voice came, and the three girls who were working and playing in the yard ran over.

The man handed the two hares in his hand to Wei Yao and said with a smile.

"Give it to your mother, we'll have meat tonight."

"Yeah."

Wei Yao ran happily towards the house. Ah Xiu and Lan Shuang were about to follow, but were stopped by Wei's father.

"Uncle, let's go and help."

A Xiu said unnaturally when the man stopped her.

"No, let them do their work. Uncle just wants to ask you something."

"Yeah, uncle, go ahead."

A Xiu and Lan Shuang stood there obediently, waiting for the man to speak.

"Uncle is not chasing you away, but you two have been living here for a while. What are your plans for the future?"

"We..."

Lan Shuang was about to speak, but was interrupted by Ah Xiu.

"We were just about to tell you that we have been bothering you here for so long, and it's time for us to go home. We will be ready to leave tomorrow. Thank you so much for your help during this period."

"Heh, go home? Where are you going?"

The man smiled and said.

"You two little girls are refugees, right?" Ah Xiu was startled, then took a half step forward, silently protecting Lan Shuang behind her, and said with a little caution.

"Uncle, what do you mean? Why don't I understand?"

"I saw it on the first day. You don't have to pretend. If I really wanted to harm you, would I have kept you for so long? I felt sorry for you, so I wanted to help you find a way out."

Lan Shuang wanted to say something, but Ah Xiu pulled her clothes, and the two of them looked at the man in front of them in silence.

The man said to himself.

"My relative opened an inn in the street market, and he just needed two errand boys. I think you are also hardworking children, and you are also diligent. If you can go, you will avoid the suffering of wandering. If it works, I will go and inform my relative, just as a good deed."

"This..."

Ah Xiu fell into hesitation.

Before she answered, the man patted her shoulder.

"It doesn't matter. Whether to go or stay, I won't force you. You two sisters can discuss it today and tell me tomorrow. That's all."

"Sorry, uncle, we..."

A Xiu was interrupted by the man before she finished speaking.

"Okay, okay, the water tank is out of water. Please help fill it up. We can eat in a while."

......

At night, in the woodshed.

Lan Shuang and A Xiu lay on the bed made of haystacks, facing each other in silence.

After a while, Lan Shuang whispered.

"Sister Xiu, do you think we can stay here?"

"Well... I haven't thought about it yet, Xiao Lan, let's talk about it tomorrow morning. Sister is very sleepy now."

A Xiu rubbed her eyes and yawned, as if she was about to fall asleep.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable? You just vomited so much. Are you okay?"

"Maybe the water got cold when I was fetching it. I ate too much at night, so I felt sick and vomited. It's okay."

"Okay..."

Lan Shuang was a little helpless. It's not that she didn't worry about A Xiu, but what Wei's father and the two said today made her hesitate and fantasize. Her mind was full of that matter.

If she could stay, even if she was just doing odd jobs, it would be much better than continuing to wander.

"Sister, why don't we stay? We finally met a kind person. We can have a home and continue to be together."

Lan Shuang said unconsciously.

A Xiu turned over and said very sleepily.

"Let me think about it again, Xiao Lan. People's hearts are unpredictable. Although wandering is hard, if we stay, if we are cheated and caught, we won't even have a chance to escape... Xiao Lan, I'm really sleepy. Let me think about it. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Shh... Sister, sister."

Lan Shuang suddenly made a gesture to silence, pushingHe pushed Ah Xiu beside him, and Ah Xiu also resisted the sleepiness and sat up.

This is a habit that the two have developed after wandering for a long time. They are very sensitive to sounds, and they can't sleep well even when they are sleeping.

There was a rustling sound of footsteps outside the woodshed, and Lan Shuang heard it clearly.

Ah Xiu was very sleepy just now and didn't pay attention. Now he also heard it. Most of his sleepiness has dissipated. He sat on the bed and listened carefully.

The footsteps stopped until they reached the door of the woodshed.

There was nothing valuable in the woodshed, so it was not locked. There was only a bolt inside, and it would be opened by inserting a wooden board through the crack of the door.

The two people in the house had heard something scratching the door outside the door, as if it was going to be inserted through the crack of the door.

The two did not dare to make a sound, and they walked down to the ground at the same time and became alert.

But at this moment, the sound of scratching the door stopped, and a woman's voice came from outside the door.

"Hey, are you sure? Don't make a mistake."

"You bitch, I've said it before, there's no mistake, these two kids are refugees, otherwise why did you take them in?"

"I'm just afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? I'm afraid that you'll still lay so many black vines, bitch. I've already tested it today. The two kids can't hide anything. They got scared when I told them they were refugees. They must be, they can't run away."

"That's great. The slaves we usually cheat are rough people. These two girls are white and tender. It's really rare for them to run here. They can definitely be sold at a good price."

"Haha, otherwise why would I say to keep them at home for a while? They can't eat a few pounds of food. You bitch are short-sighted and don't let me. What do you think? Now that they are well raised, can they be sold at a high price?"

"Yes, yes, the head of the family is still far-sighted."

The woman said happily.

The man smiled.

"Don't worry, Wu Tengzi, you put a lot of meat in the soup. The two kids have eaten a lot. They must be sleeping soundly now. Let's just tie them up. I'll send them to Lord Ling Yu tomorrow morning."

Inside the house, Lan Shuang was stunned.

Outside the door were the voices of Wei's father and mother.

The couple looked extremely kind and kind-hearted.

They were discussing how to tie themselves and Sister Xiu up and how to sell them for a good price.

Why?

Why is this happening?

Are they going to sell themselves to slave traders?

But Sister Xiu said that if they were caught by slave traders, it would be worse than death.

They...don't they know, why do they still do this?
