Miss Rong could not hear Lao Qiao's affectionate confession. She was now very busy running between the emperor and the Red Flower Club every day, trying to do as much as possible for him.
It's interesting to say that she was originally a child of the world who had no worries and had experienced a lot of ups and downs. She always thought that she no longer had the heart of an ordinary girl, but she still met her for the first time.
He felt panicked.
She has been an unwanted girl since she was a child. She survived in the village by relying on the pity of her neighbors. She was accustomed to eating hundreds of meals and wearing hundreds of clothes.
I had asked my neighbor Aunt Zhang before: "Where are my father and my mother? Where have they gone?"
Aunt Zhang rolled her eyes angrily: "I don't know where he died a long time ago, but he still left such a little mess like you. Okay, please take that plate of cake back quickly. Don't starve to death here."
It’s my home.”
Miss Rong gave a sweet promise, put the cakes on the plate into a small pocket, washed the plate and put it back in the cabinet, whispered thank you and ran away.
This kind of life lasted until she was seven years old. The seven-year-old girl could mend and wash a few clothes. The villagers would take care of her business if they had anything to wash. Although it was very difficult, fortunately she could survive.
.
Later, there was a flood in the village, which submerged the village, the fields, and the hope and last sympathy of the villagers.
In such a flood, a group of tall and powerful people came to the village. Everyone in the village was afraid that they were robbers and ran away in panic. Only she sat there listlessly.
"Little girl, why don't you run?" the leading man squatted down and asked her.
Miss Rong raised her head and glanced at him: "I am young and I run slowly. If I run, I will be caught. Since we are all going to die, it doesn't matter whether I run or not."
"Why did you die?"
"Aren't you bandits? You have also seen that our village has been flooded this year, and there is nothing valuable to be found at all."
The leader was funny: "Who said I was a bandit? I came here to find someone, little girl, do you know where Qin Yang's home is?"
Miss Rong shook her head: "I have lived here since I was a child, and I have never heard of anyone with this name in the village."
The leader took out a few pieces of broken silver from his pocket and said, "These are for you to buy candies. Can you take me to ask other people? They seem to be afraid of us."
Miss Rong glanced at the man behind him who was carrying a long knife: "Yes, yes, but you can only come with me alone. They can wait here."
"Brother..." The person behind him disagreed.
The leading man raised his hand to stop him: "Okay, let them wait here."
Miss Rong and the man knocked on Aunt Zhang's door: "Aunt Zhang, it's me. I have something to do with you."
The door was halfway open, and Aunt Zhang poked her head out: "What's going on? There's nothing left to eat. It's not easy for our family these days."
Miss Rong shook her head, took Aunt Zhang's hand, and put the pieces of silver in her hand: "Aunt Zhang, I want to ask you something."
Aunt Zhang's eyes widened when she saw the money: "Where did this money come from! You...you little bitch, are you going to steal other people's things?"
Miss Rong shook her head and pulled the person standing next to her over: "This money is not something shady. Let us go in first."
Aunt Zhang let them into the yard doubtfully: "Who is this person?"
"Aunt Zhang, this strong man came to us and wants to find a man named Qin Yang. This is the money he will give you." Miss Rong explained in a low voice.
The man waved his hand: "I'm not looking for Qin Yang, but his family. Are his wife and children here?"
Aunt Zhang was stunned for a while with her mouth open, and then she said calmly: "Who are you, and why are you looking for Ayang's family?"
As soon as the man heard what she said, he knew that he knew Qin Yang, so he must also know where his wife and children were: "I am Qin Yang's brother. He asked me to come over to see if there is anything I can do to help."
busy."
"Look." He said as he took out a letter: "Qin Yang asked someone to write this for him."
Aunt Zhang opened her mouth: "After so many years, people have long since starved to death. There is no longer the person you are looking for here. You can go and take the money back."
The leader stood up excitedly: "I can't leave, I must see them. This is what I promised Qin Yang."
Aunt Zhang looked at him strangely: "If you are really worried, why don't you come and see for yourself? Send you, a brother who doesn't know where he comes from, away?"
The man didn't seem to expect that a woman in the village would have such a question. He hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth: "Auntie, it's like this. Qin Yang had an accident a few months ago and is already dead.
, he asked me to take good care of his wife and children before he died, so I came here specifically to see them."
"Dead? You said Ayang is dead?" Aunt Zhang opened her eyes and seemed unable to understand this sentence.
The man hung his head guiltily: "He got into trouble because he was trying to save me. I must compensate his family. Please help me and help Qin Yang at that time."
Aunt Zhang looked at the men hesitantly, then at Miss Rong who was looking at them with big eyes and said nothing, and sighed: "That's it, that's all, people are dead, there's no point in saying anything."
"Ayang insisted on leaving home to earn money, and said he would come back soon. When he earned money, he took his mother-in-law to live in the city. His mother-in-law's name is Axing. She is not from our village, but she is a very good person.
Beautiful girl. Everyone thought he was just talking casually, saying that he actually sneaked away alone when they knew he was there, so they left a letter asking them to take care of themselves."
"At that time, Ah Xing was several months pregnant and had a big belly. She was about to chase her. It was me who stopped her."
"Later, she gave birth to a little girl. The child was still young, and there was no one in the family who could earn money to support the family. The few acres of land were also robbed, and everything the family could sell was sold."
The man listened to her patiently, feeling a bad premonition well up in his heart.
"There was a rich man who fell in love with Ah Xing and wanted to raise her as a child, but he was unwilling to have the child. Ah Xing was stubborn and refused to do anything. In the end, the servant of the man's family accidentally pushed her away.
He hit her hard, hit her on a rock and threw her to death, leaving behind a little girl who was less than two years old and didn't understand anything."
"Have you helped take care of me all these years?" The man rubbed his hands.
"Take care of her? How can the old woman have time to take care of her? I originally thought of letting her fend for herself, but who knew that this girl is hard-working and lovable. She would share a bite with anyone who had food, and then go fetch water and wash clothes for others.
So many years have passed like this.”
She touched Miss Rong's head with rare kindness: "This girl's name is Qin Rong, and her name was given to her by A Xing."
