Chapter 73 Confession
Yi Wen walked under the observation tower and was about to say something when he heard Mao Yu and other voices coming down from above. The observation tower was not high, so although Mao Yu's voice was a little trembling, Yi Wen could still hear it clearly.
"It's too cold outside, why don't you go back to the house first? You haven't fully recovered yet, and it won't be good if you have a fever again." Yi Wen took off his coat and gently put it on Mao Yu.
"Thank you." Mao Yu couldn't help but shed tears when she felt the warmth on Yi Wen's coat. No one had been so kind to her since she came out of the private prison in Linfeng City. The last time someone was so kind to her.
It seemed like a long, long time ago that it was so good, and these days were too long for her.
Mao Yu wiped away his tears and said to Yi Wen with a smile: "What kind of crappy place is this? You don't even have a back door, so you can't escape even if you want to."
"How...how did you get here?" Yi Wen asked and then began to regret it. He felt that it was a bit inappropriate to ask this question now.
Mao Yu didn't seem to care, he just looked at the sky blankly and said: "After we returned to Yufeng Kingdom, everything was as usual. However, that day, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly came to the house and arrested everyone in our family.
, saying that we had committed treason. At that time, my parents were still doing business outside, and my grandfather and I pinned our hopes on our parents to save us, but it didn’t take long for my parents to be arrested as well.”
When Yi Wen heard this, he felt really bad. He looked at Mao Yu and said, "I'm sorry, if it weren't for us..."
Mao Yu shook his head and continued: "Grandpa didn't know anything about that batch of goods. He was just a shipment of goods entrusted by the boss, but he didn't expect that it turned out to be a batch of military supplies."
"Then how did you escape?"
"The night I was arrested, someone rescued me from the prison. But when he rescued me, he said that I was the only one in the prison. My grandfather and parents may have..." Mao Yu said here
He sobbed softly again. Although Mao Yu was pouring out his sorrow to Yi Wen, he still kept his agreement with A Wu and did not reveal his identity.
After the mood calmed down slightly, Mao Yu continued: "After that, I followed a carriage to a small town far away from Linfeng City, where I was taken in by a noodle shop owner and worked at that noodle stall. Originally, I thought I
I met kind-hearted people, but I didn’t expect that family to be so cruel and cruel to me. They were very kind to me at the beginning and made me feel at home.”
Mao Yu said and his expression slowly changed.
I became nervous and clutched my clothes tightly with both hands. It seemed like it was not a memory worth recalling.
"Later, I found out that they took me in to be their stupid son's wife. Their son was already in his thirties, and he still had some mental problems. He treated me rudely every day. One day when I resisted, I used
Their son was injured with a knife. Since then, they would take it out on me every day when they had nothing to do but eat and sleep. They even broke a rolling pin. When I was injured, they took me to the doctor, and when I recovered, they started beating me again.
.”
When Yi Wen heard this, his fists turned white and his finger bones clenched.
"One night, I burned down their house while they were not paying attention, and ran out in the chaos. In this way, I escaped from the noodle shop, begging and walking around aimlessly. Some time ago, I saw this
Mountain, maybe I was hallucinating at that time. In the world of ice and snow, only this mountain was full of green, like a paradise. You should know what happened after that. I don’t remember anything about that time, I just remember
I seem to have seen you." Mao Yu said and sighed and became silent.
Yi Wen looked at the poor girl in front of him and decided to keep her here to prevent her from suffering anymore.
"Let me tell you something about me." Mao Yu's crying gradually stopped, and the two fell into silence again. Seeing Mao Yu who had the same tragic experience, Yi Wen couldn't help but think of his parents and Yi Wu again, and couldn't help but
I want to tell her my story.
"A few months ago, our family of five was living in a village not far from here, and we were living a good life. But one day a group of bandits destroyed our village, and our peaceful life was shattered.
It's over." Yi Wen looked at Mao Yu's uncomfortable look and couldn't help but recall the happy life in the past.
Mao Yu squatted quietly and listened to Yi Wen's story. She suddenly felt that the boy in front of her didn't seem like a bandit, but just an ordinary boy.
"Later, the people from Liuyun Village rescued the three of us who had a chance to escape. But at that time, like you, I didn't believe that there were good people among the bandits, so I prepared to take Awu and Qiao'er to escape from this place. Although at that time,
I had no idea what to do in the future, but I just didn’t want to stay in this place. After knowing my thoughts, the boss didn’t force us to stay. He gave us a sum of money and arranged for us to live somewhere else.”
"What happened next?"
"Later, we encountered a riot on the way, and Awu fell off the carriage. What did I do at that time?
I didn’t even think about it. I just wanted to bring Ah Wu back, but I didn’t expect that I would end up harming Ah Wu. Not just this one thing, every decision I made was because of my selfishness. I didn’t ask them what they thought. Everything
Everything was caused by my willful actions. If my parents knew that I had brought Awu and Qiaoer like this... I would have no shame to see my parents." Yi Wen buried his face between his knees and cried loudly. There is no such thing here.
People will hear his cry, and he can finally cry.
Just when Mao Yu wanted to comfort Yi Wen, a pair of trembling hands hugged him tightly. Mao Yu was stunned for a moment. She was so absorbed in listening to Yi Wen's story that she didn't notice when there was an extra person.
"Brother, my parents and second brother will not blame you."
Yi Wen didn't dare to look up after hearing this voice. He was afraid of seeing Yi Qiao's face.
Yi Qiao waited in their house for a while to meet Yi Wen, who had not come back yet. He originally came to see Yi Wen. But when he arrived at Wei Li's hut, he did not see Yi Wen and Mao Yu, so he followed Yi Wen's footsteps.
Got here.
Yi Qiao squatted in front of Yi Wen, held up Yi Wen's face, wiped the tears from Yi Wen's face and said, "I will have to rely on my brother to take care of me from now on."
Only then did Yi Wen realize that Yi Qiao had already burst into tears. Looking at Yi Qiao's face, Yi Wen felt really distressed and held Yi Qiao tightly in his arms. Mao Yu on the side also looked at his brother and sister who were hugging each other and crying.
A knowing smile, but there is also confusion about the future in this smile.
"I'm sorry, I forgot that I came to comfort you and make you laugh." Brother and sister Yi Wen hugged each other for a long time before saying to Mao Yu in embarrassment.
"Sister Mao Yu, why don't you stay? The brothers and sisters here are all very good. They teach us martial arts and literacy." Yi Qiao wiped her tears and sat next to Mao Yu, holding Mao Yu's arm.
Mao Yu thought for a while, since he had nowhere to go, he might as well stay here. There would be no wandering here, and hopefully nothing terrible would happen.
"Um!"
Mao Yu feels much better now. She seems to have seen hope. This feeling may be what Yi Wen felt when he was in the iron cage of the human trafficker!
