Mu'er lowered her head and leaned her back tightly against the tree. She grabbed the skirt of her clothes with one hand and put the other hand behind her back to dig at the tree trunk.

"Master, don't..."

The third master laughed in a low voice, and his laughter was gloomy and lewd.

"Why don't you say goodbye? It's not like this has happened before." The third master took away her hand that was protecting the skirt of her clothes. "Why are you so embarrassed? Come on, otherwise you will be the one to suffer."

Mu'er cried: "Master, I'm afraid... if Madam finds out..."

"How could she know if you don't tell me? Besides, now I'm even more afraid of her knowing than when I was at home?" The third master said in a scornful tone, "When I get to Sucheng, I will be well-off and prosperous. If you are obedient, maybe I can also take you in as my aunt."

"No, no, sir, I don't dare. Madam, she..."

"Madam, what kind of lady? It's not certain whether she will be a madam then, it depends on whether I am happy or not!"

After the third master finished speaking impatiently, he pulled open Mu'er's clothes with force, lowered his head and bit it.

Mu'er groaned and her body tensed.

Just at this moment, something hit the Third Master's leg socket. He was already slightly hunched over and had no strength on his feet. The impact made him unsteady and he fell to his knees.

It was like kowtow to Mu'er.

The third master was ashamed and angry, and looked back: "Who?"

no one.

The sky has darkened, the shadows are shaking, and nothing can be seen clearly.

But after such a scare, he lost interest and felt a little weak, so he stood up in a hurry.

"Watch your mouth, if even a word is leaked..."

"The slaves dare not."

The third master hunched over and walked back in a hurry.

As I was walking, I seemed to have kicked something. I lowered my head and took a closer look. It was an oil paper bag. I don’t know who accidentally dropped it.

Open it and look, there is half a cool steamed bun inside.

Although it was cold and half of it, he was as hungry as a wolf at this time. He looked around and hid in the grass. He ate it in three or two bites before getting up and going back.

Mu'er cried silently and looked at the night sky in despair.

My brother fell into the water and his body was not even found. Most of the family members had already known about their exile. Without support and frightened, they would definitely have a long life.

It's a pity that they, a family of three, didn't even see each other for the last time.

She once begged the third lady to let her live, even if she was sold like other people, but the third lady did not agree.

Over the years, the third lady has often used her mother to scare her and manipulate her.

Others thought the third lady was gentle and kind, but Mu'er knew that the third lady was the most vicious one.

Yan Ruyu watched in the dark. She observed Mu'er for a while. This little maid was silent and had a low sense of presence.

perhaps……

Just as she was thinking about whether to go further, a wild pheasant came running out of nowhere.

Mu'er heard the noise, wiped away her tears, and turned to see her.

"...Young Madam, it's you."

Yan Ruyu nodded slightly, said nothing, and turned to leave.

Suddenly, Mu'er said from behind her: "Young Madam, you must be careful of the Third Madam and the young lady."

Yan Ruyu turned to look at her with cold eyes: "What should I say?"

Mu'er pursed her lips hard: "I don't know the specific slaves, I only know what they are planning, and it should be related to you."

"Why tell me? If you tell me, I may not miss you well."

Mu'er smiled sadly: "What's so good about being a slave? I drag my body with only one breath left, and I don't expect to go to the northwest. It doesn't matter where I go."

"I just want to do my best for the young lady. That day, my brother was forced into the water by the third lady, but he was washed away by the water... No one save him except you."

Two lines of clear tears welled up in Mu'er's eyes: "You have no interaction with me, and you don't even know who my brother is. I think you are a good person."

She lowered her head and walked out: "Good people should be rewarded."

Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment: Is she a good person?

"Wait a minute," Yan Ruyu stopped Mu'er and took out two pieces of sweet potatoes for her. "Here's this for you. Take it with you."

Mu'er looked up, her eyes surprised and grateful.

"Don't eat it," Yan Ruyu handed her two eggs. "Eat this before going back. Remember, don't eat sweet potatoes."

Mu'er burst into tears: "It's not my turn to eat."

After she finished speaking, she knelt down to Yan Ruyu and kowtowed several times.

Yan Ruyu waited for her to go out and lead Pheasant into the space.

This guy got very happy as soon as he came in, screaming and running to the pond to find something to eat.

Yan Ruyu had become accustomed to it, so she didn't care. She was about to take stock of other things when she suddenly heard a duck call.

Yes, it's a duck.

Looking back, not only the ducks, but also the pheasants took the lead, holding their heads high and chest high, followed by chickens, ducks and a few geese.

Isn't this...the ones she bought in the town last time?

When I brought it in, it was frozen, as if dead. Why is it now alive and kicking?

She went to the pond again, and the fry she bought were not only swimming, but also growing bigger.

Turning around to look at the pheasant, the pheasant seemed very proud. The red crown on its head had grown longer, and it was bright red, like a cluster of flames.

Yan Ruyu saw this guy looking like he was asking for credit, and secretly laughed: "Okay, wait, I'll reward you."

He rummaged through the looted things and found a bracelet.

I don’t know what the material is, like small stones, each one is a circle of different shapes, in three colors: black, white and red. They look pretty when strung together.

Especially the red one, which is the largest and most dazzling, and looks very similar to the comb of a pheasant.

If you test it, you will find that it is either a rare precious gemstone or something like a pebble by the river, which is not valuable.

Yan Ruyu didn't care about money, but she didn't want to cause any trouble.

Hanging the string around the pheasant's neck, the guy became even more impressive, strutting back and forth several times.

When the time was almost up, Yan Ruyu took it out again and returned to the fire.

Passing by the fire in the third room without turning his eyes, Huo Yunran wanted to say a few words of polite politeness, but held back.

What if, like last time, Yan Ruyu unceremoniously goes to take things away?

Still not taking the risk.

Yin Ding just finished cooking the rice. He heated the steamed buns, stewed the fish and boiled the eggs, and also added some wild vegetables. It was simple but full of flavor.

Huo Changhe is now considered an invalid, and the eldest lady feels guilty and keeps letting him eat.

It wasn't until Yan Ruyu said that he couldn't eat too much fish because of his injury that he gave up.

Huo Changheng has Yan Ruyu on his left and Huo Changhe on his right. Now he admires Huo Changhe very much, second only to Yan Ruyu.

"Sister-in-law," he put his little hand on Yan Ruyu's shoulder and whispered into her ear, "can I give the red fruit to my elder brother?"

"Okay," Yan Ruyu agreed.

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Huo Changheng smiled brightly and quietly leaned into Huo Changhe's ear, "Brother, I'll give you something, quietly.

Don't let others find out. My sister-in-law gave it to me and I'll keep it for you. But I also asked my sister-in-law and she agreed. "

"Oh?" Huo Changhe held him in his arms and whispered in his ear, "What good thing is it?"

Huo Changheng was tickled by what he said and couldn't help but giggle.

They were whispering, talking and laughing.

The accountant noticed that Yin Ding's eyes were wide open, staring at the pheasant.

"What are you doing? You want to eat it? Didn't you just finish eating?"

The pheasant noticed it and looked back at the silver ingot with its little eyes.

One person and one chicken look at each other.
