[Red Mansions] The big maid struggles daily

On this day, Xiaoyan'er has been fidgeting since she got up early, which caused Hua Zhenzhu to look at her several times.

Stealing a little time, Zhu Xiu took her hand to the base of the corner wall and asked: "What's wrong with you?" While speaking, she tapped her pulse, the little girl's pulse rate was rapid and chaotic, it was a frightened pulse.

With a bitter expression on his face, Xiaoyan grabbed Zhu Xiu's arm with his backhand, and said stammeringly, "I don't know, it's just... I'm just terrified and panicked."

Really scared, Zhu Xiu was puzzled: "You had a nightmare last night, did you have a nightmare?"

Smiling eyes swallowed, looked around, then licked his lips and said with difficulty: "Xiu'er, let me tell you, the last time I panicked was when Aunt Chai was going to sell us to the old bustard; This is when my father and my grandma are going to sell me while my mother is not at home. I...I am really scared now. Xiuer, Xiuer! What should I do?"

Zhu Xiu was also a little nervous about being infected, and quickly motioned her to shut up, and pricked up her ears to see if there was anyone around, but she heard a thin breathing sound not far away.Zhu Xiu turned around abruptly, turned around in three or two steps, and saw Hua Zhuzhu tiptoing along the base of the wall and slowly approaching here.Seeing Zhu Xiu rushing out, she was taken aback for a while, and then laughed to explain.

The smiling eyes over there were almost scared to death, Zhu Xiu didn't have the time to fight Huazhuzhu, so she gave her a look, pulled the smiling eyes that chased her, turned and went down to the big locust tree in the middle of the yard.

Fortunately, Zhu Xiu woke up early, and Hua Zhenzhu didn't listen to her.

The big locust tree is in the center of the courtyard, the surroundings are spacious and bright, and there is no place to hide. As long as the two of them speak in a low voice, they will not be overheard.

"Tell me in detail, aren't you frightened by a dream? Are you startled by something?" Zhu Xiu asked, wringing her forehead.

Xiaoyan'er sobbed softly, "No, it's different, and I can't tell, but this time I was more panicked than those two times, and I was even more scared!"

Zhu Xiu's complexion became serious, thinking that she had dreamed of entering the red building, and there was still nothing to believe: "Don't panic, come on, take a deep breath, follow me and exhale slowly... one more time..."

Smiling eyes fell on Zhu Xiu's shoulders.Zhu Xiu's mind was spinning quickly, but she is now the most inconspicuous little maid, she is too far away from the axis of Rongguo Mansion, she can't get any information at all, and she can't think of being in this mansion even if she thinks about it. What life-threatening event can happen here.

For the first time, Zhu Xiu gave birth to the idea of ​​going up.

…………

Since she came to this world, she used to be a pampered and spoiled rich second generation, first she struggled to survive under Ren Yazi's hands, and tried her best to avoid falling into a brothel. , she even comforted herself that she had vented her anger; now that she is in this deep mansion, she comforts herself from time to time, at least it is a dream of Red Mansions and Rongguo Mansion. It’s not bad, take your time, it will be a good start to quit your citizenship in the future...

But in fact, she was flustered and afraid in her heart, and she often felt like a duckweed, without an anchor in this world.It's just that I never dared to think deeply, and I quickly suppressed any thoughts, and kept myself so busy every day that I didn't have time to think about the past.

She was like a spring, she was always tensed and did not dare to relax, fearing that once it was loosened, she would not have the courage to continue to live. If she stretched for too long, she was already reaching the limit.

Xiaoyan'er was crying so much that he started to hiccup, and the clothes on Zhu Xiu's shoulders were wet.

Suddenly, Zhu Xiu didn't want to bear it anymore, and her tears fell down one by one, hitting the cocoon in her palm. —She misses the old man so much.I also really miss my stinky brother who always hugs her legs and looks up to show off his cuteness.Even her stepmother's face, which is neither salty nor dull, feels kind to her now...

Her tears were falling down, but there was no other movement, but it was more sad than crying.

Hua Zhenzhu was peeking out of the room, and saw two big fools crying with their heads in their hands, pursing their lips, not thinking about any inquisition, and stroked the half-rusted bronze mirror until it grew to the length of a knuckle. When they got stubble, they left the hospital and went to talk to their daughter-in-law who was in charge of them.

After crying for a while, Zhu Xiufang felt better, she shed too many tears, she pulled back the thoughts of Xiaoyaner, sobbing and comforting her, for fear that she would cry again and get sick.

"I'm fine, I feel better after crying a lot." Before the tears dried, Zhu Xiu laughed.

The two guessed back and forth, but they couldn't guess what would happen, so they discussed to ask Lao Song's mother for a vacation, saying that they were a little uncomfortable because of the wind blowing when they got up early.

Old Song's mother was not with them, walked out of the courtyard gate and walked up a hundred steps along the narrow path, there was a small rockery, around the rockery and then turned around to the place where Old Song's mother usually rests.This place is more remote than their small courtyard. There are two or three small houses alone, only Old Song's mother lives in one, and the rest are empty.I heard that Lao Song's mother felt light at night and couldn't hear the slightest disturbance, and she often couldn't sleep well, so she changed this place.

Old Song's mother was not in any trouble, she glanced at the two rotten walnut-like eyes, and said casually: "Then don't come out today, just stay in the room and rest, and hurry up to be quiet, if you are assigned an errand in the future The time is not good, so I fell into the ground." After a pause, he said: "The old lady wants to deliver something to Shihou's mansion, so I followed the cart, and I can't take care of this end today. We didn't hire a doctor for the servant either. That's right, there is no medicine in this courtyard, you two should take care of each other, if you really can't get up, don't pretend to lie."

The two of them thanked Old Song's mother, took four steamed buns and a teapot of water from the tea room in the small courtyard, went back to the room and closed the door tightly, put down the curtains, and lay down on the same bed together, making up their minds to stay here today. Those inside the tortoise shell will never get out even if they die.

At noon, Hua Zhuzhu didn't come back, so they ate two steamed buns under cold water, and fell asleep in a daze while lying down.

"Where are the people? Where have they all gone?" In the middle of the afternoon, a voice that had never been heard before suddenly shouted in the courtyard.

The two of them woke up suddenly, someone pushed the door outside, but they didn't open it twice.

The two of them didn't dare to say anything, and the door of the opposite room creaked open, "Stop pushing, I heard that the person in that room was sick and couldn't get up for dinner at noon. Sister-in-law, what do you do?"

The person outside the door said with a smile: "I'm running errands for someone. I'm going to assign errands in the future. The mother who is in charge of this matter asked the two children in this room to go to her. When will the illness get better?" , I am ill at this time, I am really unlucky."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but the little girl opposite hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Is it Pearl and Zhuxiu? What do you want them to do?"

The man was not willing to talk to him, so he just walked out.The little girl was older and knew some ways of the world, so she hurriedly stuffed a newly embroidered purse into the man's hand, and the sister-in-law stopped and said with a smile: "I don't know, but I didn't look for these pearls. She said she was looking for those pearls." There are two other little girls in the room besides Pearl."

After finishing speaking, she wanted to leave again, but the little girl just stopped her, and the other person in the room also ran out, and the two of them were all smiling: "Maybe it's the job of the mother who is in charge, if they can't go, we can go too ah."

The sister-in-law hurriedly waved her hand and repeatedly declined.

The two little girls just entangled, "Those two are only seven or eight years old, and they can't be handled! We are three or four years older than them, and we will be more capable in the future. Sister-in-law will help out this time, and we will also be able to do it in the future." Remember sister-in-law."

Hearing this, the sister-in-law was a little moved. I heard that these two are going to go inside. The two in front of me are pretty neat. I can't say what will happen in the future, but it would be good to have a good relationship.On the other hand, if Mrs. Xie kicked out these two, Hang Luo wouldn't be able to eat her.Then he readily agreed: "What's your name?"

The two little girls rushed to each other and said, "My name is Zhaodi, and her name is Qiya."

The sister-in-law gave a 'puchi' smile, and asked as she walked with the two: "Isn't there another one in your house, where is that one?"

Zhaodi said sourly: "That one is better than Pearl, we went to climb high branches together."

After walking too far, Zhu Xiu couldn't hear it.

Zhu Xiu and Xiaoyan'er looked at each other, the person who came here spoke and acted quite normally, what could be going on here?

"Maybe it's not this. Let's get through it and talk about it today." Zhu Xiu comforted her with a smile, "Don't worry about it, if you miss it with the mother in charge, you will miss it. Anyway, we are not going to grab the hot pot. meal."

Xiaoyan'er doesn't care about this, she doesn't even want to get out of bed today, she just wants to rely on Xiu'er to get over her flustered peacefully.

After they finished eating the remaining two steamed buns with cold water, Hua Zhenzhu and another little girl also came back.Lights were turned on everywhere, but the two hadn't come back yet.Another little girl was also curious, and came to ask specifically, and Hua Zhenzhu was also busy inquiring.

Zhu Xiu drooped her eyelids and said: "We both were cold and dare not see the wind. We didn't go out of the house all day, and just fell asleep. Now we are still sore and uncomfortable. You ask me, who should I ask?"

When the old woman who was in the class locked the courtyard door, the two still disappeared. At this time, Zhu Xiu and Xiao Yan'er felt that something was wrong.

After a while, Zhu Xiu suddenly said: "I have to go to the latrine, I'm so overwhelmed." Xiao Yaner immediately reached out to hold her, "Then I will go too."

"It's so cold, what are you going to do? What should you do if you catch a cold after you've finally recovered?" Seeing that her smiling eyes didn't intend to let go, Zhu Xiu hurriedly laughed and said, "Besides, if you follow along, I won't be able to get out. I was so cold that I panicked." " As he spoke, he squeezed her arm hard, pointing at the bed curtain of Huazhu with the faint light coming in from the outside behind his back, and signaled that Xiaoyan'er had to help her look at it.Smiling eyes let go.

Zhu Xiu put on her big clothes and said as she walked, "Thankfully the moon is shining today, otherwise I would have to light the candles." Going out, she went straight to the latrine in the northeast corner. The disrepair was cracked, and there was only a seam of less than two palms. Fortunately, she is now thin and small, and she can barely squeeze it out.

After being squeezed out, Zhu Xiu put on her clothes, and ran to Lao Song's mother along the shadow of the road. She thought that Lao Song's mother was kind to them, and wanted to ask Lao Song's mother to help find out, after all, they belonged to Lao Song. My mother is in charge, she will be fine if something goes wrong.

Zhu Xiu didn't know what to do, even though Zhaodi and Qiya rushed over by themselves, they were more or less the fault of Zhu Xiu and the others.If something happened to the two little girls, she would really feel bad.

Zhu Xiu ran fast, and with a few snaps of her fingers, she bypassed the rockery. Before she could get close to the three small houses, she heard several people murmuring in Lao Song's mother's room.

I only heard an old hoarse voice cursing: "You little girl, you can sleep as soon as you sleep, what is it worth!?"

Zhu Xiu was so excited that she didn't dare to breathe heavily, she approached the room quietly on tiptoe.

At this time, candles were lit in the two rooms at the two ends of the three huts. Zhu Xiu licked the window paper of Old Song's mother's room, and dared to look in: she saw Old Song's mother with a livid face, sitting facing the window, An old woman stood in the middle, panting with her back to the window, she was the one who said what she said just now, and a man who looked like a servant was hiding behind the woman with his head drooping.

That old lady is Mrs. Xie, the person in charge assigned by the little girl.

The man muttered, "So it's because I drank wine, it's not serious."

Old Song's mother said angrily: "Isn't that serious! Ah?! You drank two mouthfuls of cat urine, became lustful, and harmed the people on my side! The conscience was eaten by dogs! A girl who hasn't grown up yet Thank you for being able to talk about it! This matter won’t make your mother’s errand work, and I’ll follow suit!” His chest heaved in anger, and he said again: “Tell the truth! How did you trick someone into coming here? Occupy this place! Can people still live in this place in the future!"

"Fuck! Two hairy girls are so tired of coming up and doing something to me!" The old woman howled sternly.

Zhu Xiu already roughly guessed what happened in her heart, she was angry and hated, and her heart felt uncomfortable.How old are those two girls?brute!Kill! !

She sneaked towards the other end, never expecting that the scene she saw was a thousand times more dire than what she had imagined.

The house was not inhabited before, and there were many holes in the window paper.

Looking in from the hole, I saw Zhaodi lying on the broken mat with her limbs wide open. There were bruises everywhere, and there was no good place on her body. The most frightening thing was the black and purple pinch on her neck Mark - she has been dead for a long time.

Zhu Xiu's heart almost jumped out of her throat, and she bit her mouth so that she could not yell out.Reluctantly, I looked for Qiya with my eyes.

Turning to the base of the wall and looking in obliquely, I saw Qiya.Qiya was sitting on the ground, with one arm drooping on a long bench, and her face was bent on the bench.She was wearing a coat indiscriminately, and the ground was so cold in early winter that she didn't wake Qi Ya up...

Zhu Xiu stretched her neck to look, her heart was already cold—on the back of Qiya's head, a short hair stubble was glued together, the bench and the ground were full of blood, listen carefully to the sound of blood dripping onto the ground.Zhu Xiu is a medical student, and Qiya will not survive, and even a god can't save such a large amount of bleeding...

Zhu Xiu's limbs were stiff, and the coldness in her heart made her feel like she couldn't live.Fear to the extreme is hate!Her eyes were red, and now she only wanted to find the person who had hacked the room over there with a knife.Cut to pieces!Chop into meat sauce!
