Several servants gathered around Yu Ma, looking curiously at what Yu Ma was working on in her hands.
Gradually, girls came over there.
"What is this?" a servant asked.
Last night, Yu's mother removed all the fish bones from the fish, cut it into small pieces, rolled it in flour, added some sauce, and left it to marinate.
Now she takes out the marinated fish meat and continues to process it, so that others cannot recognize it as fish meat.
"I'll give it to you later," Yu's mother said, "it's meat."
"Meat!" a servant girl yelled.
The girls' eyes also lit up, but they did not dare to make a sound.
"Where did it come from?" asked another servant girl.
Mother Yu lowered her head and was busy with her work, and seemed not to hear.
"Aren't you even going to work anymore!" Aunt Fang shouted loudly when she saw a group gathered around.
Everyone looked at her.
Several servants murmured and left first.
Aunt Fang looked over from that side and frowned when she saw what Yu Ma was holding. She wanted to come up and ask questions, but remembering Aunt Feng's appearance, she gave up and coldly withdrew her gaze.
They say they are working, but in fact there is no work to do now.
On weekdays, they usually have to get up early to prepare meals, and also set aside some maids and girls to wash clothes or clean toilets for those people, which is almost too busy.
But the situation was different yesterday. For fear of wasting food, they only prepared half of it, and sure enough, they didn't send it out.
Even so, these foods will not be separated just like that. Even though they were left overnight, they can be processed and there is no peculiar smell.
So today, they have nothing to do.
Everyone tried their best to pretend to be busy, and some people simply hid in the vegetable garden.
"Sister, did you hear that there is meat?" Xiao Wu sat by the well and whispered.
Xiaorong's eyes were lost in thought and a little dull.
"Sister?" Xiaowu stretched out his hand and pushed her gently.
Xiao Rong was slightly shocked and looked back.
"What?" Xiao Rong asked.
"Sister," Xiao Wu said uneasily, "what's wrong with you."
Xiaorong was restless and didn't want to speak. She lowered her head and looked at the clothes and water in the basin.
"I heard them say just now that it seems to have meat." Xiao Wu said again.
"Well," Xiao Rong responded casually, "I'll help you get more."
"Hehe." Xiao Wu smiled.
But seeing Xiao Rong like this, Xiao Wu's smile froze again.
I can't laugh anymore.
But Xiao Rong refused to tell her what was on her mind.
Xiao Wu turned away and looked elsewhere.
She glanced at the two figures coming down from the northwest mountain, and her eyes lit up again.
"Sister, look! We can get more meat!" Xiao Wu shouted happily.
Xiao Rong frowned: "What?"
Following Xiao Wu's gaze, Xiao Rong was stunned and his eyes widened.
"That fool Qian Qianqian and Ah Li have been on good terms recently. We asked Ah Li to give us meat, and by the way, Qian Qianqian gave us his share. Wow, there's a lot." Xiao Wu said happily.
Xiao Rong hurriedly looked away, her heart beating so fast that it was about to jump out of her chest.
Not dead!
Not only did he not die, he was still with Ah Li!
She stared blankly at the basin in front of her, clutching the edge of the basin with both hands, unable to help but tremble slightly.
Xiao Wu blinked and looked towards her.
The more Xiao Rong thought about it, the more panicked she became, but soon she had an idea.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Rong tried to stand up in the calmest manner: "Follow me, I'll go get something from the house."
Her voice still betrayed her uneasiness and fear.
Xiao Wu said "Oh", stood up, and looked back at the figure over there.
She didn't know why, but she felt a little envious in her heart.
That Ah Li, I haven't seen her doing anything in the past few days. She looks free every day and can go wherever she wants.
very nice.
However, it was actually not a good thing for her to be beaten like that.
Thinking wildly, Xiao Wu withdrew his gaze and followed Xiao Rong.
After closing the wooden door, Xiaorong hurriedly rummaged through the wooden cabinet, looking panicked.
Xiao Wu looked at her and said uneasily: "Sister, what's going on?"
"We want to escape." Xiao Rong said in a deep voice.
"escape?"
"right."
"Run away..." Xiao Wu finally realized what he was doing and exclaimed in a low voice, "Sister, why!"
Xiao Rong didn't speak and was still searching.
It's not sure whether Qian Qianqian saw that she pushed her down, but this uncertainty is scary and unsettling.
What if you see it?
Then there will be no way to escape.
Yu Ma loves Qian Qianqian so much and is close to Aunt Feng. She and Xiao Wu will never end well.
Not to mention, there is another even more terrifying key point, which is Ah Li.
Even if Qian Qianqian didn't see her, Ah Li might have seen her from a distance?
The intense uneasiness brought Xiao Rong to the point of collapse and she was helpless.
Only escape.
Staying is a gamble, and running away is also a gamble.
But if you stay and lose the bet, you will die immediately. You will be trapped with no hope and no escape.
By escaping, you can at least take the initiative in your own hands, and you can also fight for it.
After rummaging for a long time, I finally found a small dagger in the corner.
Xiao Rong hurriedly stuffed it into her clothes and hid it, then pulled Xiao Wu up: "Let's go to the vegetable garden first."
They didn't have much clothing to begin with, it was tattered and tattered, and they were burdensome, so they simply didn't care.
Xiao Wu was flustered by her, but he still followed her.
"Mom Yu is over there." Qian Qianqian said happily.
Xia Zhaoyi's face was gentle and gentle, and she held a long wooden branch picked up from the ground in her little hand without looking up.
"Ah Li." Qian Qianqian called.
Xia Zhaoyi looked at the road ahead and said, "Huh?"
"I don't know why, but I feel very happy now. Is it because the weather has turned sunny?"
"It is said that the weather can indeed affect people's mood." Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, "But you are in a good mood right now, probably because you survived the disaster."
"Then can the weather affect you?"
"Me?" Xia Zhaoyi smiled and shook his head, "No, I rarely have a bad mood."
"Real or false, why?"
"What could be the reason for this? I'm just rarely in a bad mood."
"But there are always reasons."
Xia Zhaoyi laughed: "Who would bother to find the reason why they are in a bad mood? There is too much salt in the food, is it salty?"
"Then you rarely get angry?" Qian Qianqian asked again.
"Of course not. The life of a person is the accumulation of Qi. When it gathers, it leads to life, and when it disperses, it leads to death. How can you live without anger?"
Qian Qianqian was stunned: "Ah Li, what did you say?"
"If you don't understand, then don't ask again." Xia Zhaoyi said.
As she said that, she raised her head to look at the sky, and said: "However, the sunshine this time is a bit short-lived, and the heavy rain will become worse two hours later, so if you are in a good mood now, you should feel better as soon as possible."
"Huh?" Qian Qianqian also raised his head, "Will it rain again?"
"Yes," Xia Zhaoyi said, "it will be bigger."
"That's fine, you don't have to do anything. I'm almost dead, tired and hungry." Qian Qianqian said.
