one's door

Originally, Liu Rui planned to go to Yaozu after coming down from Yubei Mountain.But the crisis in Yaozu last time made her still have lingering fears. After going to Xiyuan County, she turned around and then retreated.Then we arrived at Changmen County.

After entering Changmen County, Liu Rui was always restless and wanted to leave several times, because her hometown was in Changmen County.

Changmen County, Dezhu City, is the address of her home.A few years ago, she was sold from here, then sent to the teaching workshop for training, and finally stood out from the teaching workshop to enter the imperial palace.At that time, she didn't understand that if she performed poorly in the teaching workshop, the best end for her now would be to go to a slightly better flower house to sell jokes.With bad luck she might be dead.

Entering the palace was the biggest turning point in Liu Rui's life.Because she entered the palace, she had the opportunity to meet her two senior brothers, and later she had the opportunity to meet the master, and now she has the opportunity to control her own destiny.

But as a human being, how can one erase one's origin?Although the person who sold her was her biological father.She still remembers her father's dark and thin face, as well as the struggle and pain in his eyes.But this will not affect her father from selling her, even if she kneels on the ground crying and begging, it will not change the result.

At the beginning, Liu Rui wanted to ask her father why he sold her, and why she didn't listen to her crying and begging for mercy.

But after more experience and knowledge, Liu Rui understood the reason why her father sold her: poor.

Liu Rui's family lives in the city, but they belong to the poorest category of people.Because living in the city means that you don’t have your own land, and the nearby land has an owner.Doing the most menial jobs for the least wages.

This kind of family doesn't need a big storm, a disease can completely destroy it.

I vaguely remember that it was my mother's serious illness, and the family's meager savings instantly bottomed out. Treatment?I'm going to starve to death.The two younger brothers in the family were too hungry to get out of bed.Liu Rui is just a little bit better.

The reason why you sell your daughter instead of your son has nothing to do with your preferences, it's just that simple daughters are easier to sell than sons, and the price is higher.

Say hate?There must be, Liu Rui is not a saint, she is only a teenager, how can she not hate this kind of thing?

But how deep is the hatred?Liu Rui didn't think so either.Even after going out for a walk this time, she didn't know if she would hate her in the future.

Even compared to "hate", what Liu Rui wants to know is whether her mother was saved after getting the money for the medicine, and whether her two little brothers starved to death.If they all survived, she would still feel that it was worthwhile for her to be sold.

If he still died... Liu Rui didn't even dare to think about it.

The troubles in my heart began when I stepped into Changmen County.She wanted to escape, but in the end Liu Rui moved towards home bit by bit.

Because he remembered the words of the master: everything must have a result, and you can't leave the obsession in your heart until you can't solve it or regret it when you can't make it up, that's not worth the loss.

"The brave are fearless!"

Liu Rui recited these four words silently in her heart, and saw the gate of Dezhu City from a distance.For a long time in her memory, this city gate was the furthest distance.Standing in front of the door again now, I feel quite a sense of vicissitudes.

Seeing that it was a child, the guard at the gate specially came to ask.As a result, Liu Rui immediately put on a smile when he saw the licensed bronze medal in Liu Rui's hand. He knew that this kind of brand was only available to the top officials' children, and it was usually used when playing.Looking at Liu Rui's brocade clothes, he directly classified Liu Rui as such a person.

"Miss, where is your entourage? If you need any help from us, just tell us!"

"No need." Liu Rui shook her head, stretched her feet, and disappeared into the crowded city gate in a few blinks of an eye.The guard was scratching his head, the secret path turned out to be a martial artist, no wonder he didn't need anyone to accompany him, he should have come out to hang out?I don't know if it's the lady from that city, she looks so good-looking!

Liu Rui has never talked to officials from various places, she likes to go shopping by herself.Especially now that Master's reputation has resounded throughout the Huangtian Territory, she doesn't want anyone to recognize her, otherwise it will be very troublesome.

Follow the road in memory to the direction of home.I don't even remember some places very clearly, so I asked as I walked.

There is Zhuzui Lane in Langyuan City, and Nigou Street in Dezhu City. The names are different, but the scene after entering is the same.A group of people with no land and the lowest income in the whole city huddled here.

Liu Rui remembered that her home was in a more dilapidated place behind the street.

As she got closer, she even heard her own heartbeat.

are they still here

Chapter 469

Liu Rui thought a lot about the reunion.She still remembers everyone in her family clearly.Especially the appearance of the parents.

Walking into Nigou Street, someone immediately followed Liu Rui.But no one hastily came over to strike up a conversation.Because Liu Rui's brocade robe shows that her identity is not simple.Not to mention anything else, just the seemingly simple but invaluable headgear on the head is enough for ordinary people to eat and drink for most of their lives.

But the more "fat sheep" the more risky they have to take.Little thieves don't have the guts, they won't do things like losing their heads or being exiled.And those who are brave will not be impulsive, they need to upload the "fat sheep" to the top, and they will not do it until the plan is completed.

Of course, Liu Rui doesn't care about all of this, she only has the family that makes her feel "concerned" or "resentful".

Turning the corner of the street, in an inconspicuous position on the back of the street, there was a broken door with a small corner missing from the bottom.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Who is it?"

A baby's voice echoed in the room.

"I'm looking for Liu Dagen."

"Liu Dagen has gone to work, and he is not here. If there is a sick person at home, I won't open the door for you." The baby in the room felt very cautious when he heard the voice.

"Are you the third son?"

"Huh? Who are you?"

Liu Rui took a deep breath to calm down her emotions.The third son is the third younger brother in the family, and he is called Liu San if he doesn't have a real name.And her name, Liu Rui, was also given by her father when she was sold, and the steward of the dental clinic said that she had a name that would sell better.There is also a second brother who is naturally called Liu Er.

Liu Dagen is Liu Rui's father.

Hearing that there were people she was familiar with at home, Liu Rui's mood was hard to express for a while.But the excitement is real, too.But I just don't know if my mother is still there.I don't know if Liu San said "there is a sick person at home" is an excuse or is he talking about his mother?However, there is indeed a person with a messy and weak breath in the room of perception.

"I'm your elder sister Liu Rui, I'm back." Liu Rui tried her best to make her voice sound calmer, but she still trembled slightly after she had spoken.

"what!"

There was an exclamation in the room, and then a babble, the door was slammed open from the inside, and a boy three or four years younger than Liu Rui appeared at the door with a look of surprise on his face.

The change between the eyebrows is not small, the baby looks different every year, but under the same blood, Liu Rui still puts the other party and her third brother together at a glance.That's right!This baby is her own brother Liu San!

"You?! Are you, Sister? You are Sister! Mother! Sister is back! Sister is back!" Like Liu Rui, the boy at the door recognized Liu Rui who had been separated for several years at a glance Come out, the kind of memory that has not been dissipated, coupled with the entanglement of blood, even a child under ten years old can immediately feel it.

Halfway through howling, Liu San turned around and ran into the house. It was Liu Rui's mother, Shen Hong, who was in the room.

Liu Rui didn't stand outside the door either, she hesitated for a moment before walking in.

A musty smell that was both familiar and unfamiliar came to my face immediately.There is also a clear smell of decoction.

"Cough cough cough...is that my daughter? Is my daughter back?"

"Sister! Come in quickly, mother misses you so much!" Liu San ran outside, unable to hide the ecstatic expression on his face, and beckoned Liu Rui to go into the back room. At the beginning, he retracted his half-stretched hand again.His hands were dirty, worried that he would stain Liu Rui's brocade robe.

Seeing this, Liu Rui smiled, stretched out her hand to touch Liu San's head, and then responded quickly, walking towards the back room.

It is said to be a back room, but where does such a small house come from a real compartment?Or maybe a straw mat was pulled in the middle as a wall, and the inside was the parents' small bed, and after nightfall outside, bamboo boards were used to spread the bunks for the two brothers.In the past, when Liu Rui was here, she would squeeze outside.

The mother looked very haggard, lying on the narrow bed, her hair was disheveled, her face was pale and even bruised, she looked like she had been ill for a long time.

"My daughter! Woooooooo..."

The moment she saw Liu Rui, Shen Hong, who was lying on the bed, suddenly gained strength and wanted to sit up with her body up.Her condition has gotten worse in recent months, and she hasn't been able to sit up for more than a month.Now I don't know where the strength comes from.

Liu Rui stepped over to support Shen Hong, and at the same time put the palm of her left hand on Shen Hong's back, a soft aura penetrated into Shen Hong's body, bumping around along the meridians.This made Liu Rui's mood plummet from the moment of reunion.For a while, I felt a little sad.

"Mother, my daughter is back."

"Wuuuuuuu... my good girl! Mother is sorry for you! Mother didn't know that your father would sell you, mother is sorry for you..."

The cries were piercing.But how could Shen Hong's body withstand such emotions?After crying a few times, he passed out.The breath is as thin as a gossamer.

"Mother! Mother, what's wrong with you?!" Liu San was crying and laughing at the same time, but he was frightened immediately after seeing Shen Hong unconscious, remembering to run out to find a doctor.

"Don't worry." Liu Rui took out a small jade bottle from her waist bag, poured out a green elixir, and put it directly in the mouth of Shen Hong, who was in a critical situation. Dispersed in an instant, dragging back the crisis caused by over-excited emotions.Soon Shen Hong's breath stabilized, but she didn't wake up.It was Liu Rui who used spiritual energy to comfort Shen Hong to sleep.Wait for a while to talk, and let the medicine continue to exert its effect.Otherwise, what if something goes wrong when I wake up now?

Seeing that Mother's complexion was a little rosy, and she was not out of breath, Liu San, who was used to seeing his mother when she was sick and knew the priorities, was relieved.

"Has Mother's illness never recovered? Didn't you get money back then?"

"Not enough. At the beginning, the money was enough for half of the consultation fee and medicine fee. The doctor agreed to pay for it with my labor. So I couldn't get rid of the root cause after being saved. The medicine was too expensive, and the hospital couldn't avoid it. So mother Just dragging on like this. There is a pair of medicines that I grab and drink, and it will be good for two days and bad for two days...

Sister, in fact, my mother really didn't know that my father would be like that.She wanted to die later, but my brother and I kept her in check so we didn't die.My biggest job at home is to watch her.Woooooo, sister, don't blame your mother, okay? "

As he spoke, Liu San began to twitch.He has a pitiful expression, although he is small, he is also sensible.Sister's matter is the biggest cloud in this family.After the sister's incident, no one in the family laughed again.

Liu Rui pulled her brother over, patted his head, and said with a smile: "It's not strange, it's not strange. I'm back, and everything will be fine."

Liu San nodded vigorously when he heard the words, then thought for a while, and said, "Sister, you stay here and watch your mother. I'll go to the quarry to call brother and father, and tell them you're back."

"Okay." Liu Rui didn't hesitate.She came back every time, so she should see each other.

Chapter 470 Destiny

Liu Er has grown taller, but is still very thin. He is covered with a broken sack, which is standard equipment for coolies. It is wear-resistant, and it doesn't hurt if it breaks.It's just that the sack will hurt when it sticks to the meat.Even people who often work hard have worn down the flesh on their shoulders for a long time because of this reason.

Liu Dagen was still dark and thin. When he came back, he took a look at Liu Rui and wanted to drive him away without saying a word.But he was surprised to find that he couldn't move the seemingly petite Liu Rui at all.

Musha?Liu Dagen reacted quickly.His complexion was even worse, and his heart was even more anxious. He closed the door and asked Liu San to guard it so that no one could enter.

"Why are you still coming back! Hurry up! Just pretend you don't have this home! Hurry up!" Liu Dagen roared in a low voice with red eyes, but his eyes kept dodging, not daring to meet Liu Rui's gaze.He even felt that the petite person opposite had an oppressive force that he wanted to avoid.

"..." Liu Rui didn't speak, just stood by her mother's bed and looked at him, watching him anxious and restless while suppressing his voice.

"Go! You go!"

Repeatedly is the words to drive people away.But Liu Dagen's clumsy words did not allow him to achieve his goal, and even the "strength" he thought could work in front of the little girl was completely useless.Feeling helpless, he squatted in the corner and stopped talking.

After waiting quietly for half an hour, Shen Hong woke up leisurely on the bed.Liu Rui quickly entered the spiritual energy to calm Shen Hong's emotions, and only then could the mother and daughter have a normal chat, accompanied by Shen Hong's sobs.

After one elixir was applied, Shen Hong's condition improved a lot, and she looked very gratifying.Liu San triumphantly explained to his father and second brother that it was all due to the elder sister. The mother almost had an accident before, and it was all saved by the medicine of the elder sister. Now it seems that the effect of the medicine is also the result.

Liu Er was also very pleasantly surprised. His mother's illness has always been the top priority of this family, and now it seems that it has improved, even if it is only a little bit, it is enough to make people happy.What's more, my sister is back.It seems that he is doing well outside, at least better than at home, that's good, at least the guilt in his heart is a little less.

In fact, not only Liu Er thinks so, why not Liu San and Liu Dagen?

"You live better outside than at home, so why do you come back? Mother is fine, you sit for a while and go away, people will see you getting close to poor people like us, and you will be in trouble."

There are some words that Liu Dagen can think of but can't say, but Shen Hong can say some.There are still some things that they are hard to say, for example, the source of their worry is Liu Rui's slave status.No matter how good life is, being a slave after all depends on the face of the master's family. If you lose someone to the master's family, then it is no surprise that you will be killed with a stick or sink into the well.

"Don't worry, I'm not someone else's slave as you think..." Liu Rui didn't say much, but only vaguely told her family about her current situation.Let's just say that she has long been a slave and is free, and has a very powerful master to take care of her, so she is living a good life.

Such a general description does not take a few words.Moreover, with the knowledge of the Liu family, they would not understand the meaning hidden in it at all.

The Liu family was very pleasantly surprised after hearing this. No one thought that Liu Rui, who was supposed to be sold, would end in a dismal end. They each felt guilty, but now they are living a different scene.

Liu Rui's mind has always been on the family, not just the kind of reunion, but also observation.People's hearts are changeable, and she can feel that this sentence is also reflected on the faces of the Liu family at this moment.

"Mother's illness has been cured with the elixir given by Master, and I just need to rest for a while to recover." The joy in Liu Rui's heart has gradually calmed down.A elixir from Master cured her mother Shen Hong's old illness.But it is only a cure.

The trauma and the loss of vitality left by Shen Hong's suffering from illnesses over the years are real, and there is no way to make up for the general disease-removing elixir given by Liu Rui.This kind of loss will keep Shen Hong's body in a weak state, and her lifespan will be severely reduced.

To make up for Shen Hong's old hidden dangers and wear and tear, ordinary pills are useless.As far as Liu Rui knows, only Biqing Dan, which is used to make up for Yangshou in the mountains, can do it.

A green pill increases life span by ten years.This thing can only be taken once per person in a lifetime, even in the cliff mountain, it is considered a very rare treasure.

Liu Rui has one in her hand.It was given to her by her master when she went out, and the three of them had three senior brothers and sisters, and it was used for them to repair after desperately performing the god descending technique in a critical moment.

But at this time Liu Rui is not going to use Biqing Dan for her mother.Because the mother's body has not yet recovered, using Biqing Dan may affect the efficacy of the medicine and cannot reap the full effect.So I have to let my mother raise it again, and wait until my body recovers a little bit.

"Liu Er, take the money and go to the market to buy some rice oil and meat, preferably fish, and make soup for mother to replenish her body."

Liu Er was stunned when he saw a money ticket and some loose coins that Liu Rui handed over.This amount of money is not a small amount to him, and he has never seen so much money put together.For a while I didn't know what to do.

"I can't! I don't want your money!" Liu Dagen pulled his son. Although he felt less guilty now, he still didn't dare to look into Liu Rui's eyes.It's just that I stubbornly feel that I shouldn't take the money.

But Liu Rui beckoned, and Liu Er was pulled in front of her by her magic power.And Liu Dagen couldn't stop it at all.At the same time, Liu Rui said to Liu Dagen: "What I owe you was already paid off when you sold me. The money is not for you, but for my mother's health. I owe her. I haven't paid it off yet. So if you don't want to, you can just stop using the rice oil you bought with this money later.

Liu Er, take it, go buy it now, and buy all kinds of seasonings. "

After looking at my sister, and then at the slumped Lao Tzu, Liu Er decisively chose to take the money and run out.And I didn't take the main road, but went to the city by the small road.This way you can avoid those ruffians on the street.

Shen Hong fell asleep again, sleeping very soundly, she hadn't felt so relaxed in several years, not to mention her good health, the daughter she always cared about was better than her best vision.The worry is gone, and the two things are combined, so it is naturally more comfortable.

Not long after, Liu Er came back with a basket covered with black cloth.Inside are rice oil, two fish, and some seasonings bought by Liu Ruirang.

Liu Rui learned cooking skills from the cooks in the imperial dining room of the Nanyuan Palace, and later she even taught Wang Nian how to cook, a meal of fish soup was not difficult for her at all.

Liu Rui waited for her mother to finish the meal, and the two younger brothers dared to pick up the bowl to eat after seeing Liu Rui's greeting.But Liu Dagen held his own bowl and did not touch the fish soup and fish meat in the clay pot.Perhaps for him, a large bowl of white rice with a few vegetable leaves is already a rare meal.

Chapter 471

For the next three months, Liu Rui stayed in Dezhu City and bought a small yard in the city, a very small one, with five huts and a small vegetable garden in the backyard.

This kind of courtyard is the general condition of a medium-sized family in Nanyuan Kingdom.The ones closer to the market will be more expensive, and vice versa.

After buying the yard, Liu Rui moved in with her two younger brothers and mother.And his father Liu Dagen also followed.

There was a small episode in the meantime, that is, some bastards wanted to fight Qiufeng, and under the banner of "catching escaped slaves", they wanted to spread the story of the Liu family's prostitution, which everyone knew in Nigou Street, in order to Make up your mind to say that Liu Rui is a fugitive slave, and then get rough.

As a result, needless to say, the bastards ran out inexplicably like "crazy", and then stabbed each other with short knives from their waists in the street where people were coming and going, and finally they all fell into a pool of blood and died cleanly .

This scene is not small, what's more, these bastards dare to attack Liu Rui because they have reliance. They called a few warriors. It is said that they are some kind of "Kui Ye" from these streets, but it turns out that they are just a small character in the Kaiyuan Realm. Liu Rui's soul-suppressing sound directly sent this Kui Ye to the street to stab those bastards.also died.

It was thrilling outside, but the Liu family quietly bid farewell to Nigou Street after everyone's attention was drawn away.

"Mom, didn't you say that you are the best at making pancakes? You also said that your grandma taught you the unique skill, right?"

"That's not right! My daughter, it's not your mother's bragging. The pancakes baked by my mother are much more delicious than those stalls in the city!" Shen Hong's body is already in good shape, especially after she ate another one. After Liu Rui gave her the elixir, she felt even more healthy, as if she was young or in her teens.
