Chapter 13 Parting
After treating the wound, the group did not stay here more and planned to leave for Luotian City immediately. Li Wei and Qing'er, a young man in white, got on their horses separately. Only Mo Ziyao squatted on the ground, holding her delicate little chin in her hands, tilting her head, and staring motionlessly at the distance.
"Azi, what are you still doing there? It's time to go." Qinger said to Mo Ziyao with a slightly unpleasant tone.
Mo Ziyao heard the sound, patted her legs and stood up. She scratched her head and looked at Qing'er and the teenager. Her eyes stayed in front of the teenager for a long time before turning to Qing'er again. He said timidly to her, "Well, miss, I have something to ask for."
Qier looked at the teenager and said slowly, "What's the matter? Say it and listen!"
"Oh, it's not a big deal. I just want to go back with you this time, and I may never have a chance to come back here again. I want to go back to meet my parents and younger brothers, and I hope you can do it!"
Qing'er looked up and narrowed her eyes to look at the sky and said, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate? It's almost noon. We have to hurry up. We have wasted a lot of time for you. If we don't hurry up, we won't be able to catch up to Quanling Town before dark.
"This?" Mo Ziyao turned her eyes and pouted her little mouth. I don't know if I should continue to ask.
"Go ahead!" At this time, it was the teenager who spoke.
"Brother..." Qinger was very puzzled and couldn't help talking. The teenager raised his hand to stop her.
"Go, go, we'll wait here, but we have to come back within an hour." Although Qinger was full of reluctance, it was not easy to go against the teenager's will and finally relieved.
"Thank you, miss, thank you, son. I will be back within an hour!" Mo Ziyao bowed slightly to the two of them, turned around and ran in the direction of 'home'...
This is the second time that Mo Ziyao has come here. This is another home that belongs to her. Although she has no feelings for it, she is still home after all. When Mo Ziyao walked to the door, she saw that the open space in front of her door was full of colorful clothes. The breeze blew, and the clothes were gently dancing in the wind.
Mo Ziyao was a little surprised and couldn't help looking at the scene around her. This is the first time she saw this scene in her eyes. Last time she hurried out, she didn't pay much attention to the scene around her. In fact, the scenery here is still very good. The houses are built in the mountains surrounded by mountains, and there are only five families here. There is a small river in front of the house, which extends from the mountain to the outside. Although it is a little far from the town, it is quiet and pleasant without the noise in the city.
Mo Ziyao withdrew her eyes and smiled, as if she felt that such an environment could calm her down. She walked to the cabin, but saw her brother Pan when she was about to arrive at the door. At this time, he was struggling to hang clothes on the high bamboo pole. He held his clothes in his hand and threw them on the bamboo pole several times, but failed.
Mo Ziyao walked over, took the clothes from his hand, gently dried them up, and smoothed them with her hands.
When Paner saw that the things in his hand had been taken away, he looked up and saw that the person was the sister who had not returned last night. His little face suddenly showed a bright smile and suddenly jumped into Mo Ziyao's arms and said happily, "Sister, you're back!"
Mo Ziyao stiffened and recovered, because she soon remembered the picture of her brother bravely helping herself last time. I thought that the relationship between their sister and brother must have been very good before. So he also smiled, held his brother's back with his back, gently sorted out his hair blown by the wind with one hand, and whispered, "Well, sister is back, but where is Pan'er, mother? Why didn't I see her?"
Pan'er poked her head out of Mo Ziyao's arms and stared at Mo Ziyao crisply and said, "My mother is washing clothes by the river. Er, I'll call her back!" After saying that, he loosened from her arms and jumped towards the river. Mo Ziyao looked at his departing back, shook her head with a smile, and ran over.
"Mother, mother, my sister is back!" Pan'er shouted at a woman who bowed her head and beat her clothes by the river. The woman stagnated when she heard the sound, and then looked up this way. Suddenly, a kind smile appeared on her calm face. She stood up, wiped her wet hands around her waist twice, and quickly greeted her.
"Mother" Mo Ziyao called the woman and quickly ran to hold her arm. When the woman saw Mo Ziyao's clothes, she suddenly frowned and said, "Yaoer, where did you go last night? What's wrong with this dress?
Mo Ziyao took the woman's hand with a smile and chose a piece of grass to sit down. Mother, I followed my father to the town yesterday. My father insisted on arresting me yesterday and selling me to 'Chunxiangyuan'..."
"What?" The woman was shocked. Mo Ziyao quickly stroked the back of her hand and said softly, "Mom, don't worry, am I not here? Listen to me slowly."
Mo Ziyao saw that the woman's mood calmed down a lot, and then said, "At that time, I was also very scared, so I ran away. Later, I met a kind-hearted son who helped me get rid of my father. Seeing my poor appearance, he kindly accepted me as a slave. Later, I thought that although my mother was very kind to me, my father could not tolerate me, and I also knew the situation at home. If I had one more mouth, your mother would be more tired, so I promised him. He also bought this dress for me. Yesterday we stayed in a high-end inn. I know they will definitely treat me well.
When Mo Ziyao said this, she couldn't help but remember that he ruthlessly gave herself to Qing'er, and Qing'er made trouble to her. Gradually, his expression became dim.
"Silly boy, how can my mother think you are a burden? It's just that you are so sensible that I feel sorry..." The woman said and covered her face and cried.
Mo Ziyao hurried forward to hold her hand and comforted her softly, "Mom, don't be sad. I will take care of myself. Well, and working there, there are also some wages every month. I have food and accommodation there, and I don't think I need it. I'll have it brought back to you at that time. When I get better, I'll pick you up and my brother to enjoy happiness together.
"So where do you work?" The woman eased her mood a little and asked.
"I... I don't know yet, but I don't know it's in this city. I heard them say it seems to be in Luotian City, called 'Gu Xian Villa'."
"Guxian Villa?" The woman muttered and then shook her head gently. It seemed that she had never heard of this place.
"Don't worry, it's a big villa with hundreds of people in it! And the masters are also very good-hearted, and I won't suffer. Well, you can see it by looking at this dress. Mo Ziyao patted her clothes and comforted her.
At this time, the woman let go a little and sighed slightly, "Then when will you leave?"
Mo Ziyao let go of the woman's hand, got up and stood up, staring at the distance. "I'm going to leave in a while. The road is far away. We still need to go today. I came back to say goodbye to you.
"Go now?" The woman also stood up and looked in the direction Mo Ziyao looked at, with a faint sadness in her eyes. After a while, he smiled bitterly and took out a washed white handkerchief from his arms. She slowly unfolded, revealing a string of copper coins in it and handed them to Mo Ziyao and said, "Mom, there is nothing good. These are a little money earned for washing and sewing clothes for people. Take them and use them on the road!"
Mo Ziyao looked down at the copper coins, quickly stretched out her hand and pushed them back, saying, "I don't want it. You'd better keep it for yourself!"
But the woman didn't seem to hear it and insisted on stuffing it into Mo Ziyao's arms. Mo Ziyao smiled helplessly, took it over, and then took off her coat as if she remembered something. She took off her coat twice, two coats in total.
The woman looked at Mo Ziyao's strange behavior doubtfully. Mo Ziyao took off her clothes and handed them to the woman with a smile and said, "You can take these two sets of clothes as you. You should be able to exchange some money. As for me, anyway, I'm a maidservant, and I can't dress like a lady!"
The woman was stunned with her clothes in her arms. At this time, Mo Ziyao was only wearing a white underwear. She looked at herself, then frowned and said to the woman, "Mom, where are the clothes worn by people around here? I want to buy one to wear.
"Yes, there is, there, isn't her daughter-in-law specially made clothes for the girls of the big family in the village! You often go to her house to play, why do you forget it? The woman clapped her hands and said with a little excitement.
"Oh, yeah, I forgot it as soon as I was in a hurry. Let's go and have a look together!" Mo Ziyao blinked and said with a smile. In fact, she really doesn't know anything about the Erniu family, the Sanniu family, and she almost didn't wear it.
Mo Ziyao walked behind the woman and stopped there. There is a long table at the door with several clothes worn by maids. Mo Ziyao stepped forward and tossed.
At this time, there was a voice in the room, "Yo, it's Cui'er's sister-in-law. Come into the room and sit down. Ziyao is also here!" This woman still looks very young, slightly fat, with only one pair of eyes on her ordinary face, shining inexplicably.
She walked to Mo Ziyao and patted her little shoulder. He said, "Why doesn't Ziyao talk? Are you unhappy?"
Mo Ziyao didn't look up, because she didn't know what to call this woman, so she tried not to speak. It was Cui'er who stepped forward and took the woman's hand and said, "Sister Wen, we came here today to buy a suit of clothes for maids, my Yaoer..." Cui'er stopped talking at this point and looked a little lonely.
The woman was also a smart person, busy holding Cui'er's hand and saying, "Sister-in-law, this is a good thing. Ziyao went to be a girl for others. It's good! It's better than her washing and cooking at home every day. Besides, your mouth has not always been... that or something, hehe!"
Mo Ziyao listened to their conversation without any interest. She picked a water-red dress and put it on, and walked to Cui'er to stand still. Mother, does it look good? I want this one."
"Good-looking, good-looking, everything Yaoer looks good in!" Cuier tilted her head slightly, looked at Mo Ziyao with a smile, and then asked the woman, "Sister, how much is this dress?"
"Sister-in-law, Ziyao likes it, just let her wear it first, just one or two pieces of silver, let's talk about it later!" The woman waved her hand, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said with a smile.
"This...all right!" Cui'er frowned gently and thought to herself, why this dress was 20 cent more expensive than usual. Seeing all the words, she had to smile and respond.
Mo Ziyao looked up at the sky and said to Cuier, "Mom, I'm leaving. They are still waiting for me!" Take care! I'll write to you when I arrive!"
"Write?" Cui'er and the woman showed a strange look at the same time. Mo Ziyao thought that she must not have had a chance to go to school and should not be able to read, so she changed her words and said, "Oh, I mean, I asked other literate girls to help me write it. When you receive the letter, you will find someone who can read it to read to you! All right, I'm leaving."
Mo Ziyao waved to Cuier and the woman with a smile and quickly turned away...
......
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Qinger, who was sitting on horseback, looked up. Seeing that Mo Ziyao came back, her face suddenly sank. When Mo Ziyao approached, she said unhappily, "Didn't you swear just now that you would come back in an hour? It's almost two hours now. What do you think?
Mo Ziyao wiped the sweat on her forehead and quickly knelt down and said, "Miss, I didn't calculate the time, so I came back late. Please punish me!"
Hearing what she said, Qing'er was centered, slightly picked up the corners of her mouth, pulled out the whip from behind, and threw it at Mo Ziyao. I thought that she would feel good this time, but she didn't think that the teenager suddenly grabbed her hand as soon as the whip was thrown out.
"Brother...you..."
"Well, she already knows what's wrong. What else do you care about? Hurry up!" The young man in white did not look at Qinger beside him, but just stared at Mo Ziyao on the ground, and a strange sight flashed in his eyes.
"Brother..." Qing'er kept looking at the teenager. Seeing that the teenager just looked at Mo Ziyao on the ground, he didn't look at her. She twisted her body immediately, pouted her mouth and hummed slightly. He looked down at Mo Ziyao with a fierce light in his eyes, with the smell of gritting his teeth.
"Ziyao, you and Li Wei ride a horse together, and we will go on the road immediately." After saying this, the young man in white clamped his horse and galloped towards the road ahead.
Mo Ziyao also got on the horse with the help of Li Wei and quickly chased after him. Only Qing'er bit her lip fiercely and said, "Little bitch, wait for me!" After Dao, he also raised the horse whip and beat it fiercely. The horse was in pain, raised its front hoof, and ran away like a sword...
