Bian Yuanxue was almost used to Bian Yuanfeng looking like this, so she spoke.
Bian Yuanfeng said nothing and waved his hand angrily, signaling her to leave quickly.
Where have I seen it?
Bian Yuanfeng looked at the bookcase with few books, where it was.
It wasn't until three quarters past nine o'clock that Aunt Feng came back with the servants.
It was already half daylight, and the child slaves were not allowed to go back yet.
Several younger slave children sat side by side on the stone in the corner, closing their eyes and taking a nap, their little heads dotted together.
The bigger ones fell directly to the ground in the yard and huddled up in a ball.
Qian Qianqian sat on the steps in front of the kitchen, her eyes full of tears, and she yawned. After rubbing her face, she continued to hold on and looked at the mountain road over there.
The mountain wind was carrying cold dew, sweeping in waves. The mud road with unknown stone steps was wet and slippery, and no one returned.
The sun was already rising at the top of the mountain in the distance. Qian Qianqian held his chin in his hands and looked across the dense forest to the several barren graves on the top of the mountain.
In the white morning mist, the tombs were quiet and quiet, and the whole mountain seemed to be covered with a layer of green gauze. When the wind was slightly stronger, this layer of gauze would rise up and go back with the wind.
Finally, I vaguely heard some movement.
Qian Qianqian looked back, unable to regain her energy. It wasn't until she saw the servants walking in front of her that she stood up in a daze.
"Mom Yu."
Seeing Yu's mother, Qian Qianqian was happy in his heart, but his words were weak and he called out again: "Yu's mother."
After climbing the mountain all night, everyone was covered in sweat. When they reached the top of the mountain, they could no longer tell whether the sweat was cold or hot.
Mother Yu leaned on the bamboo stick with all her strength. When she saw Qian Qianqian sitting there, she said tiredly, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Don't let me sleep," Qian Qianqian said.
Aunt Fang and Mrs. Liang don't let everyone sleep. In the current situation, they don't know what will happen. They can always be on standby if they are awake.
Mother Yu nodded, she was really tired.
Qian Qianqian reached out to help her sit there, but Yu's mother shook her head: "Wait a minute, I have to give her a ride."
"You still want to give it away?" Qian Qianqian was stunned and said sadly, "But Mama Yu, how tired you are."
"I can't help it, I have to give it away." Yu's mother replied.
Qian Qianqian's eyes turned red: "Otherwise, I will deliver it to you and you can rest here."
This sentence comes from the bottom of my heart. The only person on this mountain who can treat her well is Yu's mother. Or should I say that, no one has ever been kind to her since she was a child, only Yu's mother.
Seeing Yu's mother in such a state of exhaustion, Qian Qianqian felt unspeakably distressed.
"Do you still want to send it?"
The servants over there were sleepy, tired, and uncomfortable, so they asked.
Aunt Feng couldn't bear it anymore and looked back towards the mountain road.
"I would rather jump off the cliff and die than give up." A servant girl said directly to Aunt Feng.
I am so tired that my mind is confused and I have no time to worry about what should be said and what should not be said.
Mother Yu let go of Qian Qianqian, took a step closer to Aunt Feng, and whispered: "If we send him off again, someone might really die, so it's better not to send him off."
Aunt Feng thought for a while, then shook her head: "Send it to me, no one will survive if I don't give it to you."
She turned and walked towards the stove.
Yu's mother followed up: "I've sent you off this time, but what about the ones I'm going to pick up today? We all have to rest and it's too much to bear."
Aunt Feng stopped.
Yes, it's already midnight, and in a few hours, I'll have to send it off again.
And now at this hour, we have to start preparing today's meal.
No rest?
She looked at the group of maids, who also looked at her.
Some of them were sweating so much, as if they had just been caught in the rain, and their hair was stuck to their foreheads.
Aunt Feng sighed softly and said: "We still have to send it away. We have agreed with Mrs. Bian before that she will send someone to wait for us at the bottom of the mountain. We will send it to the foot of the mountain and those people will carry it back by themselves."
"But we have to come back. This road is not easy to walk. Half of your life will be lost if you climb the mountain." A servant woman complained in a low voice, her tone was a little irritable.
Another servant woman followed: "What if they don't come? When we pick things up, should we pick them back up or go over a mountain and send them to the other side?"
Everyone's hearts trembled at these words. After all, what kind of people those bandits were, they all knew that the possibility of waiting for them at the bottom of the mountain was really slim.
Aunt Feng looked up and searched, but couldn't find Aunt Fang.
Aunt Feng cursed secretly and said coldly: "Is this person named Fang going to dig wild vegetables in the mountains now?"
The young servants over there really nodded: "Well..."
"If you send someone to look for her, you probably won't find her," Aunt Feng continued to mock, "She's really hard-working."
It was already daybreak, and there was not much time left. Aunt Feng made up her mind and said, "Let's go, let's make this trip again."
"Don't give it away," a maid who usually spoke softly also said, "I really don't have the strength, Aunt Feng, you have to think about it for us. Didn't you say you would give us meat?"
Mrs. Liang was washing vegetables in the vegetable garden to the west. After listening to them talking for so long, she suddenly frowned when she heard these words.
"If you continue, you will die. Let me choose. I would rather die here in peace." The servant woman continued.
Mrs. Liang threw away the vegetable leaves in her hand, turned around and walked out.
"You don't have the energy to do this kind of work? When your life is gone, you really don't have the energy. People of their status know who is spoiling you!"
Everyone was stunned and turned to look at Mr. Liang.
"You still look at me like this!" Ms. Liang's eyes widened and she said to the maid, "Do you think I made a mistake? Oh, you are lucky. You are a young lady or a daughter of an official family, right? Look.
Look at the clothes you're wearing now. They're tattered and don't look like ghosts. If you don't have a life, don't breathe like that!"
As she spoke, she roughly started to pull the servant girl's clothes.
"If you really have the guts, jump down and die. Maybe your whole family will be killed by those people, but you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and live here to serve those people! You just don't have the guts!"
The servant girl's eyes widened and she was trembling with anger.
Yu Ma wanted to step forward, but Aunt Feng held her wrist.
"Yo yo yo, I'm shaking with anger," Mrs. Liang looked at her funny and continued, "What are you capable of? You're getting older. I advise you to just go and give things away. If you don't give them away, you'll die.
Okay! Each and every one of you has put yourself in front of those people! Let me tell you, you are all worthless! You will kill your husband, kill your parents, and maybe even kill your own children..."
"Shut up!" The servant girl suddenly stretched out her hand and scratched Mrs. Liang with her claws.
Mrs. Liang was scratched in the face and said angrily: "How dare you hit me!"
Then he also pounced on her and grabbed her hair.
Yu Ma wanted to step forward again, but was pulled back by Aunt Feng again.
The other maids were all angry at what Liang had just said, but no one went up to fight with this maid.
They beat her so hard that they even gouged her eyes, and she was beaten into a ball on the ground.
His hair was shapeless, his clothes were more torn, and the skin on his face was covered with scratched fingernail marks.
"Go and have a rest, we have a reason not to go down the mountain." Aunt Feng said to Yu's mother tiredly.
Mother Yu was stunned for a moment: "What?"
Aunt Feng gave the servant a pitiful look, then turned and walked towards the house on the other side. She had to prepare some medicine for the great hero Liang.
