"Come in, what are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you even hold an oil-paper umbrella?"

Guo Nian looked at Xiao Huang, who was soaked in the water, and turned aside to let her in. How could this man look thinner than Chen Yu? There were no particularly poor families in the village, so how could he still suffer like this.

Xiao Huang was uneasy and mustered up the courage to ask Guo Nian

"Uncle, is this Zheng Yu's home? I am here to see Zheng Yu."

Was what he said so difficult to understand? Guo Nian's beard looked very scary. His eyes widened and Xiao Huang was so frightened that he immediately turned around and wanted to leave.

"Didn't I tell you to come in? Why can't you understand human speech?"

Doesn't she understand human speech? She was, she was afraid that this man looked nothing like Zheng Yu. How could she dare to come in? It was the first time in her life that she had seen such a fierce-looking person. How could she not be afraid?

"Uncle Nian, who is knocking on our door?"

Chen Yu, who couldn't wait for Guo Nian to come back for a long time, walked out of the door and saw a trembling Xiao Huang standing outside the courtyard gate. Guo Nian was holding her arm with one hand.

"Uncle Nian, what are you doing? Don't bully Xiao Huang. Bring her in quickly. Her clothes are wet. Wearing wet clothes can easily catch the cold."

"That's what I planned, Xiao Huang, right? Are you going to go by yourself, or should I carry you?"

Xiao Huang didn't understand the words of the man named Uncle Nian in front of him, and looked at him with confused eyes.

Guo Nian put the oil-paper umbrella directly into her hand, carried her into the courtyard, and closed the door neatly.

"What are you doing standing still? Let's go."

As he spoke, Guo Nian strode into the rain. When Xiao Huang was stunned, he arrived at the door of the room. Looking at Xiao Huang who was still at the door of the courtyard, Guo Nian reminded her again.

"You should go, what are you doing standing there? Don't you have something to tell Xiaoyu?"

She thought she was here to talk to Xiaoyu, but when Xiaohuang walked to the door of the room, her body became even more wet.

"Oze, take Xiaomi and Uncle Nian to the kitchen and make a fire. I'll make ginger tea later."

As Chen Yu said this, he pulled Xiao Huang into the room and pushed everyone else out.

"Xiao Huang, these are my old clothes. If you don't mind, you can change into another one. Wet clothes can catch cold easily."

"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it. This dress is very good, very good. Thank you Xiaoyu."

Xiao Huang originally didn't plan to take off her clothes in front of Xiao Yu, but she had no intention of going out, and since they were girls, there was nothing she couldn't watch.

Chen Yu looked at the skinny Xiao Huang and didn't say a word for a long time. Why was this person thinner than her body? Her body was due to the famine, so what was the reason for Xiao Huang.

Yong'an Village can't be said to be rich, but no family is so poor that they can't afford food. How could they be so thin? No, why are there still injuries? They couldn't have been beaten.

"Xiao Huang, where did your injury come from? Does it hurt?"

"Injury, you are talking about the place where my brother was whipped. It's fine and doesn't hurt. My brother is weak and it won't hurt when he hits someone. Mom said that he hit me because he was unhappy.

As long as I have fun with my brother, I won't get beaten. "

Xiao Huang's words reminded Chen Yu of the scene she saw today. For her, being beaten was a part of her daily life.

"What your mother said is wrong."

Chen Yu looked into Xiao Huang's eyes and couldn't say the second half of the sentence. You should resist. How could she resist? She ran away from home. There was no way to lead her. Where could a girl go? Where could her final destination be? Even Chen Yu could guess it.

But staying in that home may not be very good, and she might be sold at some point.

Xiao Huang felt sour, she knew what Chen Yu meant

"I know, this is not the case in the village except for my family, but I only have food if I listen to my mother. Food is the most important thing, so it doesn't matter if I listen to my mother.

Don't worry about me, I'm fine. By the way, I'm here to tell you something. "

Xiao Huang opened the window and looked into the yard to make sure no one was there before lying in Ye Fei's ear and saying

"I heard Lan Hua's mother talking to Yue Ji's sister-in-law, talking about your family, as if she suspected that you were from the government.

Are you here to catch Lanhua's father and Yueji's uncle on purpose? "

"No? How can we be from the government? Why did they say that? Where did you hear it? You were not discovered by the two of them.

Don't do such a thing in the future. Eavesdropping is very dangerous. "

Chen Yu picked up Xiao Huang's wet clothes and planned to dry them in the corridor. As soon as she picked up the clothes, two things fell out.

"Where did you get these two things? Gold and silver locks. The patterns on them look like they belong to children of wealthy families. How could you have them?"

Xiao Huang pointed at the golden lock

"Is this called a golden lock? Isn't it a yellow silver lock? I didn't want to get anything, the package flew into my arms by itself. I just wanted a silver lock.

Except for me, everyone in the village has a silver lock, but I don't. "

Package, what package? Is it stolen goods?

"Xiao Huang, what is the package you are talking about? Apart from these two things, what else is in the package?"

"There are many, I don't recognize them. There are silver hairpins, golden hairpins, and rings, rings made of stone."

Xiao Huang carefully recalled the contents of the package. She didn't recognize the contents, only the silver lock. She could only recognize the silver lock because she had seen Sun Yueji's silver lock.

After listening to Xiao Huang's words, Chen Yu was basically sure that it was stolen money.

"This is called a golden lock. Even though it looks like a silver lock, this golden lock can buy several silver locks. Xiao Huang, please tell me what you heard and saw."

Chen Yu put the gold and silver locks into Xiao Huang's hands. Since they were stolen money, what Xiao Huang picked up was hers.

Xiao Huang did not expect that the yellow silver lock was so valuable, more valuable than the silver lock.

After listening to Xiao Huang's description, Chen Yu knew that the package was still in the dilapidated room.

"Let's go to the kitchen and drink ginger tea."

Chen Yu took Xiao Huang to the kitchen and saw the ginger tea that had been brewed.

"Sister, what I cooked was not what Uncle Nian cooked. You can drink it without worry. There is just one bowl for each person. Xiao Huang, you can drink it too."

Xiao Huang stood behind Chen Yu, unconsciously holding the corners of her clothes. It was her first time to eat at someone else's house. Would this be bad?

"No, I'm not hungry, so there's no need to drink."

"Ginger tea is not to ward off hunger, but to prevent wind and cold. If you get caught in the rain, you'd better drink a bowl of ginger tea, otherwise you will suffer if you get cold."

It turned out that this was the first time someone had told her this. Xiao Huang picked up the ginger tea and sipped it slowly. It was so spicy and warm. She liked the taste.

"Uncle Nian, did you hear what Xiao Huang said? Do you think we should do something, such as getting the stolen goods together?"
