Du Juan didn't understand, so the old woman became anxious, stepped forward and whispered, "Take her away quickly, or they'll be in trouble if they catch her!"
"Okay!" Du Juan took the little girl's hand and walked forward quickly. Listening to the sound of boots getting closer and closer, the old woman stepped forward to deal with the officers and soldiers, but before she could open her mouth, she was scolded by the officers and soldiers.
"If you want to interfere in this matter, don't set up a stall here tomorrow!" The old woman was speechless. Du Juan probably knew a thing or two. The old woman had been setting up a stall here for several days. The officers and soldiers could have rewarded her with some thin noodles, but today's situation
It's a little different, "We received a notice from the shop that there is a beggar outside the door and has been staying here for several days. What kind of place is this? Do you still want to protect the beggar?"
Step by step, walk slowly, just pretend I don’t exist. Du Juan’s plan was pretty good, but she was still stopped!
Looking at Du Juan's back and seeing her holding the little girl's hand, the leading officers and soldiers stepped forward and said, "Stop! Did you run out of the workshop and miss the start of work? And this beggar, because
He's here, the aunt in charge has been angry for a long time, you'd better be more sensible and go in to receive the punishment yourself!"
"Hurry up, hurry up!" As soon as the old woman finished speaking, Du Juan felt a chill on her back, and a white light flashed in front of her eyes. Looking back, she saw that the swords drawn by the officers and soldiers had been placed on the old woman's neck.
The little girl had never seen such a scene. Du Juan wanted to protect her eyes, but what she didn't expect was that the little girl broke away and shouted, "Grandma Tanghulu is a good person, don't hurt her!"
"Running toward the officers and soldiers, she bit the leading officer's hand fiercely. The officer and soldier screamed in pain, and the following people all drew their swords. Du Juan pulled the little girl back and held her in her arms.
The bitten officer pointed his sword at the old woman and said, "Go! This is none of your business!" The old woman could only leave in a hurry and looked back at Du Juan and the little girl, her eyes full of powerlessness and apology.
"What's your name! Report it quickly!" The leading officers and soldiers were already irritated. Looking at their posture, they would not give up until they were captured. He could deal with them for a while, but the fate of this little girl would be determined.
How about it? Should I save her?
Wait! No, why should I save her! This should be a dream! All this is fake, but this time, why did she make me feel so real? Is this dream really different from usual?
Dreams come from the heart! If you think about it every day, you will dream at night. Du Juan has had such a dream more than once. She closed her eyes slightly, feeling a little sleepy. The night light was dim and sprinkled on the curtains, making the originally bright white
The moonlight was no longer cold, but instead felt a hint of warmth. However, in Du Juan's view, there was nothing in front of her eyes, only this dim yellow light.
Since Du Juan started running Jinghuafang, she has had more and more dreams about those small objects. She doesn't know when she will fall into a dream, nor what will happen in her dream, but in her dream she is awake, as if she is only just one step away from reality.
There was a wall between her and she knew she was dreaming, but where did this dream come from? Was it day-to-day thinking or a gift? Du Juan had pondered this question more than once. Now, should she save this little girl?
"What is the relationship between you and this little beggar!" Du Juan was pulled back to the dreamland. The dim yellow light was the dazzling sun above her head. Seeing these officers and soldiers pressing hard, if she didn't make a choice, the little girl's fate would be worrying. She knew full well that
This state is a dream, but everything comes to life. Everything here is like reality, and Du Juan wants to find out why the little girl does this. Furthermore, this is my dream! I make the decision myself!
The sunlight was dazzling, and the light reflected from the swords held by the officers and soldiers had already dazzled Du Juan so hard that she could not open her eyes. Under the strong light, Du Juan's eyes were red, and there seemed to be tears hanging from the corners of her eyes. She simply squatted down and said nothing.
He gently stroked the little girl's cheek. This operation made the officers and soldiers not sure what to do.
"I've made you suffer, and you shouldn't have suffered this." After saying this, Du Juan hugged the little girl in her arms and whispered, "Cooperate with my sister, and I will take you home."
The little girl was smart, holding a doll in her hand, "I'm useless, I'm useless."
Du Juan took over the conversation and said, "You can't talk about yourself like that, you know? There will be a long time to come. You should follow your words and do your deeds. You have done a good job. However, in this world, you and I..."
"It's no use, don't act coquettish. Our commander won't do this! This little beggar has been here for many days. If this continues, what should we do?" The one who spoke was a soldier who said this.
, Du Juan simply started sobbing. It didn't matter if she cried. The little girl cried, "I'm not a beggar, I'm not a beggar! I just want to sell a few more dolls to supplement the family income. Could it be... Is it really not good-looking if I do it?"
?”
Du Juan picked up the doll in the little girl's hand and wiped the doll's face with her sleeve. "You did a good job. Look at it. It's all dirty. We don't want it to be dirty. Let's make it clean together." She looked around.
Next, the water bag on the waist of the leading officer and soldier was very eye-catching. Du Juan pointed directly at it and said, "Hey, can you get your water bag?"
"How dare you!" Several people stepped forward and pointed their swords at Du Juan and the little girl, "What kind of place is this? How dare you make such a mistake!"
The little girl cried loudly, "Sister, I'm scared!"
"Do you really have the heart to bully us two weak women?" Du Juan hugged the little girl tightly. The look of the officer and soldier at the head changed slightly. After a while, he took off his water bag and asked his subordinates to pass it over.
Du Juan took the water bag and nodded to the leading officers and soldiers. This weak look made anyone look at her with pity. The officers and soldiers did not speak, but looked straight at Du Juan as she wiped the little girl's dirty face first.
She was fair and clean, and then wiped a few silk children. The leading officers and soldiers walked around the two people, thinking back and forth: Although Jinghuafang is a wealthy family, most of them are knowledgeable and polite, but this woman is
Her strong style is not like that of a woman in the house, but her clothes are no different from those of other women. Could it be that her status is higher than that of all the women in the house, and she comes here incognito, so she can't figure it out, it seems that we are still
It's better to be careful.
"Look, how can you treat such a fair and beautiful woman like this? You keep saying that she is a beggar, but if you look carefully, how can she look like a beggar?"
After wiping off the dirt on the little girl's face, it was indeed much whiter. Coupled with the big twinkling eyes, even the toughest heart should be softened.
"Okay, okay, let's go!" The commander took back the kettle and waved to the two of them.
"Where is your home? Take your sister there and I will take you home." Du Juan said to the little girl gently, but there were still some things that were not clear here and she still had to find out. "Don't worry, I will take you home after I send her off."
, I will come back."
Du Juan refused to say anything and took the little girl to leave quickly, fearing that something might happen to these officials as time went on. The little girl also understood what Du Juan meant, so she took Du Juan's hand and walked in the opposite direction of Jinghuafang.
The little girl looked behind her. Du Juan realized that the little girl was afraid of them. The name of the little girl she had rescued was not yet known. Du Juan slowed down and said, "Little girl, can you tell me your name?"
?”
"Sister, my name is Du Xiaoniang."
Such a coincidence, they are all from the Du family, Du Juan was secretly happy, "Miss Du, that's a good name."
"You cooperated well with your sister just now." Du Juan still admired her ability to deal with things. In this dynasty, when she first arrived, she had to learn to survive first.
Du Xiaoniang didn't say anything, she just lowered her head and took Du Juan's hand and walked forward. Jinghuafang was not far from the downtown area, a few streets and alleys passed, and it was much more lively than before. However, seeing that the little girl was preoccupied, Du Juan didn't ask any more questions.
, I’ll probably have the answer I want to know when I get to my mother’s house later.
The girl's steps quickened, and Du Juan simply followed her with big strides. She didn't know what was going on. But after walking through another street, she felt uncomfortable all over, and all the passers-by who passed by the two of them felt uncomfortable.
They all looked at Du Juan in unison. With such a sense of depression, Du Juan didn't know what to do. She was a complete drama queen in front of the officers and soldiers, but she seemed a bit shy under the gaze of everyone.
"Is this the embroiderer from Jinghuafang?"
"Yes, why did she come here?"
"Who is that little girl next to you? How can she be with the embroidery lady of Jinghuafang?"
It made sense for Du Xiaoniang to speed up. Jinghuafang was so popular among the people that Du Juan couldn't help but asked, "What's going on?"
