There was no meat in the past, and life was not much easier.
Xiao Rong shook his head: "No."
Moreover, she still doesn't know what meat tastes like. She picked all the minced meat she was given here into Xiao Wu's bowl. She only knows that it is very fragrant.
Every time she brought big fish and meat to the horse thieves in the front yard, she really wanted to take a bite secretly, but she had to endure it.
"I really want to eat meat now." Xiao Wu looked at the tasteless gruel in his hand, "I wonder if we can eat it again when the dilapidated house over there is cleaned up."
"There will be more, but when the time comes, remember to ask that Ah Li to give you all the meat she gets." Xiao Rong said.
"Huh? Why?" Xiao Wu raised his head.
"Mom Yu asked you to deliver medicine to her before, but you risked being discovered by Liu Sanniang. This is a great kindness. She has nothing to repay us, so let her give us the meat she gets every time.
."
"Yes, I told her at the time that she would repay this favor to me, and she agreed." Xiao Wu smiled, "That's great, we have a lot of meat to eat!"
"Yeah." Xiao Rong also smiled slightly, blinked her eyes and looked towards the yard, "But, why don't I seem to have seen her all day today."
"She was beaten badly by Liu Sanniang." Xiao Wu thought of the injuries on her body and said, "My body is still feverish, so I might not be able to get out of bed."
"Speaking of Liu Sanniang," Xiao Rong said thoughtfully, "Speaking of which, why did Liu Sanniang hit her? A few days ago, she seemed to be specifically targeting Ah Li."
Xiao Wu paused, remembering what he saw that day, and there was some hesitation on his face.
"Xiaowu, do you know something?" Xiaorong asked looking at her expression.
"Sister, I don't know whether I should tell you or not."
"Say." Xiaorong's expression became serious.
"A few days ago, Yu's mother and I went to the front yard to deliver washed and clean clothes. When we came back, we saw Ah Li and Liu Sanniang arguing back and forth. Yu's mother hurriedly took me to hide beside them."
Xiao Rong was stunned: "Ah Li dares to quarrel with Liu Sanniang?!"
"Yes," Xiao Wu looked confused and said, "I thought I was wrong, but Ah Li was really quarreling with her. She said a lot of unpleasant things, scolding the old woman Liu Sanniang for being shameless, and even scolding her.
...Call her a slut.”
"Oh my God." Xiao Rong reached out and covered her mouth.
"Liu Sanniang started to beat her, and the beating was very fierce. After a few moments, Ah Li knelt down and begged for mercy. But it was no use. Liu Sanniang slapped her in the face until her mouth started to bleed, and also pulled her away from the little baby.
Lock him up in a wooden house and beat him."
"You deserve it." Xiao Rong said, "Ah Li asked for it."
"And that night, sister, I don't know if you still remember. After Ah Li was released from the cabin for the first time, she became less and less serious about her work, and then she was taken back by Liu Sanniang and locked up. You told me at the time
, Ah Li seems to have done it on purpose..."
Xiao Rong nodded: "Yes, I remember."
"Later, Ah Li was severely beaten and kept in jail. Mother Yu quietly found me and asked me not to tell the story," Xiao Wu sighed, "but now Liu Sanniang has been arrested and locked up in the basement.
It’s gone, I think it’s nothing.”
"It's better not to say anything," Xiao Rong looked around cautiously, "You can only tell me about this matter. Mother Yu did the right thing, she is protecting you."
"Yeah." Xiao Wu responded.
Xiao Rong frowned, still feeling shocked after thinking about it in her heart, and then said: "But Ah Li's mouth is so bad, we should have less contact with her in the future."
"Sister, are you afraid that I will be a bad learner?"
"No," Xiao Rong looked at her sister seriously, "She can cause trouble with her mouth. If we get close to her, we will be easily implicated."
Xiao Wu was very smart and understood it immediately, and said softly: "Okay, sister, except when I go to find her when dividing the meat, I will ignore her at other times."
"Um."
The girls gradually came back, took the porridge and went to find a corner by themselves.
Xiao Rong and Xiao Wu saw several girls coming over and didn't want to stay any longer. They washed the dishes and sent them back before returning to the house.
The Datongbu they slept in was the smallest one, with only five beds. Originally, three people slept, and two were empty. Now that Ah Li was barged in by Yu's mother, the quietness in the room became even less peaceful.
Fortunately, the place Ah Li chose was a bed away from them. The two girls in the beds were beaten to death just last month, and one of them was literally thrown into a pig cage.
As for what mistake they made, they didn't even dare to ask.
When he entered, Xia Zhaoyi was already sleeping on the bed.
Because her right foot was severely twisted, she slept on her side with her back facing outside.
Xiao Wu saw her lying down, looked at Xiao Rong, and pointed at Xia Zhaoyi.
Xiao Rong didn't like her sister's exposed temperament very much. She frowned and shook her head to express her dissatisfaction.
At this time, the door on the other side was pushed open, and Qian Qianqian walked in holding a small bowl.
Seeing Xiao Wu and Xiao Rong standing over there, Qian Qianqian was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, blocking some bowls in his hands with his body, walked quickly to Xia Zhaoyi, and called out in a low voice: "Ali."
Xia Zhaoyi slept very lightly and opened her eyes quickly.
"Ah Li." Qian Qianqian called again.
Xiao Wu and Xiao Rong looked at each other and then back at Qian Qianqian.
For little child slaves like them, there are basically no small oil lamps or candles in the room. Fortunately, the firelight and moonlight outside the house are very bright, and you can faintly recognize the bowl in Qian Qianqian's hand in the dim light that comes in.
There was half a bowl of white porridge inside, which was very thick.
Xia Zhaoyi smelled some rice fragrance and looked at Qian Qianqian: "For me?"
"It's mine and Yu's mother, Yu's mother asked me to bring it to you." When she said this, Qian Qianqian felt her face burning, and the looks from Xiaowu and Xiaorong made her very uncomfortable.
"No need." Xia Zhaoyi smiled lightly, "I'm not hungry."
"How come? You haven't eaten anything today."
"I won't eat it." Xia Zhaoyi looked at her gently, "You can take it back. Thank you very much."
"You really don't want to eat..."
Xia Zhaoyi nodded and replied firmly: "I really don't want to eat it."
Xiao Wu and Xiao Rong wanted to eat meat very much, but Xia Zhaoyi had already made herself a meal of game and ate two wild fruits.
She didn't want to be the one who served the bowl and scolded her when she put it down. What's more, the food in the bowl was stolen by thieves, so she didn't want to touch a grain of rice.
In fact, Xia Zhaoyi can leave now. She walked around the mountain today. This mountain is very big. It will not be difficult to hide here or escape.
She had grown up in the mountains since she was a child. Compared with the ancient forest sea and turbulent sky clouds in Liling, the area around Zhaoyun Mountain was simply not good enough.
The reason why she didn't leave was because she thought of Qian Qianqian's words.
From the first moment she came here, everyone who got close to her came to care about her.
Regardless of whether it was out of concern for the original owner of this body, at least she, Xia Zhaoyi, had accepted this kindness.
