In the dilapidated log cabin, the old man with gray temples, smiling at the corner of his mouth, was working as the man in his hand, and Lian'er was helping at the side.
This kind of manual work requires not only sensitive fingers, but also higher requirements for experience. The so-called practice makes perfect. When Lian'er was in the palace, she didn't often do these tasks, but after a short while, her The hand was scratched by the bamboo stick, and it was stained with bloodstains.
The old man glanced at her, stopped her movement, and said with a smile: "Lian'er, you still can't do such a job, look at your hands!"
"I'm a slave and maidservant, so there are other jobs that I can't do. It's just that my daughter is useless, and I can't do a little thing well!" She held the bamboo stick angrily, and there was another scar on her fingertip.
"Ah! Lian'er doesn't seem very happy, what happened?"
"Lian'er is useless. She failed to protect her father's savior. Miss Yaoguang, she was sent to the palace by the prince!" After finally spitting out the words in her heart, her heart seemed to be even more serious. It was uncomfortable, like being crushed by a big rock.
The old man still had a smile on his face, and the movements in his hands did not slow down at all, "Lian'er has been grimacing all day, I thought something big happened, even though that girl entered the palace, but This has never been her blessing, everyone is free and individual, so you don't have to worry too much!"
The bamboo stick in Lianer's hand was snapped off by her. With tears in her eyes, she asked: "Didn't Daddy teach Lianer to repay his kindness when he was young? Why is he doing this to Daddy's savior now?" Attitude!"
The old man is like a wise man, his eyes are somewhat cloudy, but there is no wave or ripple in the slightest, and his expression seems to be calm. His expression didn't look like he was treating a rude adopted daughter, but rather a child who had lost his way in life.
The old man said slowly: "I didn't expect you to remember those words when you were young. You are right. To be a human being, you must know how to repay your kindness. Since you have made a decision in your heart, let's do it!"
His body was already aging, and speaking coherently almost exhausted most of his strength, so he stopped talking, lowered his head, and did the work in his hand at a leisurely pace.
Lian'er's cheeks turned red after being told, she suddenly raised her head, her gaze was firm, and she said to the old man: "Daddy, Lian'er has decided to sneak into the palace during the draft. Lian'er can still protect Miss Yaoguang in the deep palace!"
The old man nodded slightly, but remained silent.
"Daddy, Lian'er swears here today that Lian'er will swear to protect Miss Yaoguang to the death. She is not only Daddy's savior, but because she represents the best in this world."
Maid Lian'er, she will never forget that day when she was pushed down the abyss of despair, those hands stretched out in front of her, those hands pulled her back from the abyss, those hands made her believe that the world is , not as dark as she saw.
It was that immature little girl who saved her faith.
"Okay! Now that you've decided, let's go! Daddy can do it alone. Daddy wants to see such a good person. It's a pity that there will be no chance in this life."
In this cabin, Lian'er put all the silver on her body in front of the old man.
"Daddy! You must take care of yourself in the future. My daughter will hire someone to take care of you. If there is a chance, my daughter still wants to bring the girl out."
When the last ray of golden sunlight disappeared on the horizon, Lian'er carried her burden and set foot on the road to the palace.
At that time, the general election of the palace maid had already started ahead of schedule, and the twenty-eight-year-old Lian'er had already lost her qualification to be a maid in the palace.
