This blow was too violent and the servant girl was unable to hold the girl.
The girl's script alone was unstable, and she was suddenly pushed and fell out.
His cheek brushed against the dirt and gravel, and his right elbow also hit the ground.
The rain fell, and the girl blinked her eyes in the rain, as if she was stunned, then opened her mouth, and cried harder and harder.
"You're still crying," Liping ran over and kicked her in the body, "Don't cry!"
The girl huddled up and cried, looking at Aunt Fang with a cold face, and then at Aunt Feng, who was looking indifferently into the distance.
"Why are you crying? Why are you crying? You're so annoying!" Lian Ping stepped down harder and harder.
"Mom!" The girl couldn't bear it anymore and cried loudly, "Mom, where are you!!"
Yu Ma couldn't bear it anymore. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears. She didn't dare to look at it and turned around.
Several girls also cried, and the cries could be heard from the crowd.
"It's no use even if your mother comes, she'll have to be beaten by me even if she comes here!" Reping was tired of beating him, so he pointed at the girl and cursed.
"Okay, bring this embarrassing thing in." Aunt Feng finally spoke.
"Yeah!" The servant woman held the wooden basin in one hand and picked up the crying girl with the other, "Let's go."
Reiping watched her being taken away, spat, and then looked at the girls standing under the eaves: "Let me see who else wants to cry!"
The crying in the crowd gradually subsided.
"We're going to bully me together, right?" Liping scolded, "Then we'll see!"
She turned around and left. Her beautiful yellow coat and skirt got soaked and stuck to her body. Her figure had begun to show its charm, and she was slim, graceful and graceful.
Xia Zhaoyi sat in front of a sheltered slope near the mountainside to hide from the rain, watching Lian Ping cross the stone bridge, then cross a flat open space, walk toward the vast and continuous houses to the east, and soon disappear among the stacked houses and pavilions.
.
"Why haven't you gone back yet?" Qian Qianqian's voice sounded.
Xia Zhaoyi turned around.
Qian Qianqian walked from the other side of the path holding her stomach, holding a tree stick in her hand to prevent her from falling, and her clothes were wet.
"Why are you here?" Xia Zhaoyi said.
"I really have diarrhea this time." Qian Qianqian looked at the backyard across the river, "I seemed to have heard a lot of crying just now. What happened?"
Xia Zhaoyi turned sideways, rummaging through the grass with her fingers, and said, "A girl from the front yard is beating the girl in the backyard, and she's beating her more fiercely."
"Du Xiang? Lian Ping? Chen Tang? Xiao Shu?"
"I do not recognize."
"How come you don't know them?" Seeing Xia Zhaoyi rummaging in the grass, Qian Qianqian asked curiously, "What are you looking for?"
"There are some flat-carved trees here." Xia Zhaoyi replied, "You have diarrhea and you've been caught in the rain. It's better to drink something instead of nothing."
"Ah Li, you still know these things."
"It's strange for a farmer's child to know this. It's not a rare herb in front of the cart. It can be found everywhere in the mountains, rivers and fields."
"That's right." Qian Qianqian nodded as if he didn't understand, and said with inferiority complex, "I don't understand."
Xia Zhaoyi paused and looked back at her.
"But it doesn't matter," Qian Qianqian suddenly smiled again, "It's not too late to understand now, Ah Li, you can teach me more in the future!"
Xia Zhaoyi's expression was calm, but a smile appeared in his eyes, as gentle as a stream or landscape, and he nodded and said, "Okay."
Qian Qianqian put down his crutches, sat down next to her, and watched her turn around and continue pulling weeds.
"Ah Li," Qian Qianqian said after a while of silence, "Aren't you afraid of running out like this?"
Just now, when she was squatting there with diarrhea, she had been thinking about what Ah Li said before.
"It's not safe for you to hide here. I just saw you when I looked up."
"Because I'm watching you too."
It’s clear that he doesn’t worry about being seen at all…
How can you be so bold?
"Why should I be afraid?" Xia Zhaoyi said, "I'm sick. Can't I even pick some herbs for myself?"
"They'll say you're lazy."
"There is no paid work, why should I be diligent?"
Qian Qianqian looked at the bruises on her neck and said in a low voice: "But if you are not diligent, you will be beaten and punished. If you meet them in a bad mood, you may be beaten to death."
Xia Zhaoyi stopped what he was doing and looked at the soil brought up by the roots. It was so moist that it would fall back into the soil if it couldn't be hung.
"You're right," Xia Zhaoyi nodded and said slowly, "Just pretend you didn't hear what I just said."
"Okay, just pretend you didn't say it." Qian Qianqian smiled, feeling that she could still be saved.
"No, I said it." Xia Zhaoyi looked at her seriously, "I can tell it to myself, but you can't listen."
Qian Qianqian frowned slightly: "Ah Li, why can't I understand what you are talking about?"
"I can do whatever I want, but I can't ruin your way." Xia Zhaoyi said, tied the front of the cart with a long piece of grass, and put it into Qian Qianqian's arms.
"Bring more back with you. Those little girls were also caught in the rain. I have some things to do. I'll come back later." Xia Zhaoyi stood up and said.
"Where are you going?" Qian Qianqian hurriedly stood up, "Do you still want to escape? If you are caught, not only will you be executed, but others will also be implicated."
"Implicated? Why?"
"They will blame others for not noticing and not reporting it in time."
"Then, even if I successfully escape, you will still be implicated?"
"yes……"
After a while of silence, Xia Zhaoyi said, "Then there's nothing we can do. If we really want to be implicated, I'll prepare some more herbs for you before I leave."
"ah?"
"I won't leave for the time being," Xia Zhaoyi continued, "but you just said that you will be punished if you don't report in time. So, if you know that I am going to run away now, will you still report me?"
Qian Qianqian blinked, his tanned face filled with doubts and thoughts.
Indeed, if you knew she was going to run away, then why should you report her?
If there is no report, and she does escape in the future, although she will definitely be caught, will she be implicated?
Xia Zhaoyi looked at her quietly, waiting for her to think.
The rain has become lighter and the coolness has faded a lot.
Qian Qianqian shook his head, with a firm look on his face: "No, Ah Li, you won't run away. I will keep persuading you these days, and I will stop you when the time comes."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled, revealing two shallow dimples on her lips, and her eyes were bright but gentle.
"You haven't seen the wonders of the outside world," Xia Zhaoyi said in a clear voice, "If you could know how beautiful the mountains, rivers and rivers outside are, then even if you die, you will want to bury yourself there.
Side."
"I've seen it, Ah Li, we were all caught from outside, and it's not good either."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled again and said no more. He looked up at the top of the mountain in the distance where the rain started first. The clouds had stopped and the rain had stopped.
