Almost when the Miaocheng soldiers broke in, the girls in the flower building were scared out of their wits. Now it is the daytime rest time, the girls in the building are hiding in their rooms, and the servants are running for their lives in all directions, waiting for the second rush At the front, he directly grabbed a servant who was about to kneel down with a face full of fear.
"Where are you in charge here!"
"Upstairs, upstairs, sir, please don't kill me, don't kill me..."
The servant was so frightened that he almost fainted, he was picked up like a chicken, anxious and frightened, he seemed to be out of breath.
Hou Er didn't bother to look at him, and threw him on the ground, "Take me to find him!"
The servants on the ground crawled a few times, got up with difficulty, did not dare to say anything else, and timidly led the way.
Upstairs, in the side room at the far side, under the large tablecloth, Ya'er carefully protected the girl in her arms, and quietly poked her head to look outside.
Quietly, nothing happened.
"Xiaoyi is obedient, you hide here and don't move, sister go out and have a look."
Ya'er once heard from an older girl in the building that when the Xiongnu invaded the state of Jin, they went wherever they went and killed them. I heard that when the Guancheng was destroyed, the people hid in their homes and dared not go out. The Huns were so tyrannical that they burned the houses one by one, and watched the people of Jin State burn to death in the houses.
Although it was the Miao Cheng army who shouted outside just now, they came in, but no one is sure whether they will set fire to the house like the Huns.
If it really burns, this house can no longer hide.
Thinking that she still had Xiaoyi to protect her, the girl with a somewhat immature face showed determination in her eyes, she lifted the tablecloth and was about to go out, but her clothes were firmly grasped by a pair of little hands.
"Sister Ya'er, don't go."
The child who was less than six years old had tears in his eyes and tried not to choke, so he spoke intermittently, "There are bad people outside... sister, don't go out..."
"Little one, don't make any noise."
Ya'er wiped the tears from her face, squeezed out a comforting smile, and gently touched the head of the little girl in front of her, "My sister taught you, remember?"
Xiaoyi nodded while crying, put her little hand on her mouth, and covered it tightly to prevent herself from making a sound.
She was young, and not long after she was sent to Hualou, she couldn't help crying when she was reprimanded or beaten. When she cried, the original beating and scolding became more severe.
Ya'er is also a Hualou who is about her age, and knows these ways of managing things. Every time she sees Xiaoyi crying, she coaxes her not to cry. As long as she doesn't cry, she can always get less beatings in the future.
The little girl tightly covered her mouth, watching her sister who had been protecting her carefully go out from under the table with tears in her eyes, feeling scared and desperate in her heart.
Although she was young, she had stayed in this devil's cave for a month and understood some things. She knew that there were bad guys in the city.
Sister Ya'er goes out, maybe she won't come back.
Thinking of this, her tears flowed even more fiercely.
She misses her mother, grandma, and wants to go home...
Ya'er quietly got out of the table without making any movement. This is the result of seven years of practice.
When they first came to Hualou, the younger ones were assigned to deliver things everywhere. If they made a big noise and displeased the guests, at least they would be beaten with hands, and at worst they would be beaten with their pants stripped in front of everyone. Bloody.
She saw it twice, and after that, she had nightmares all night long. From then on, no matter how tired she was, how much she wanted to cry, she would not cry, did not make a sound, quietly waited for the menarche, and then hung up a sign .
Ya'er is not afraid of receiving guests, since seeing her mother die before her eyes and being sent to Hualou, she knows that she can't get away again.
If you want to leave the flower building, you have to serve the guests as hard as the ladies in front of you, and save enough money to redeem yourself. Although you may have to live until you are in your thirties, as long as you can go out of this flower building, it seems that you can It's not that hard to take anymore.
She had just had her menarche, and she was allocated a small room, and had just put up a sign, and before she could pick up guests for the first time, Miaocheng rebelled.
The window was closed, Ya'er shrank back carefully, opened the window little by little, and tentatively poked her head out to look.
Downstairs, there was a huge crowd of people standing there.
Wearing the same clothes, with the same saber in his hand, with awe-inspiring aura, someone seemed to have sensed something, raised his eyes and looked over, the eyes were as sharp as a sharp sword, and the girl's heart stopped beating in fright , retracting his head abruptly like a little rabbit.
"Ziyu, what's the matter? Is there anything there?"
The people standing next to the boy saw him looking up there, and followed him, but all he saw was the closed window.
"nothing."
Qing Ziyu replied, stood upright, and looked away.
"Sir, why did they come here as soon as they entered Yunzhou? Why don't you let us follow along? Your lord doesn't look like someone who is waiting for fun."
"Mute."
Qing Ziyu's voice sank, "Can we talk about how your lord behaves?"
The man felt a little regretful when he said it, he stretched out his hand and slapped himself on the mouth, "It's my mouth."
Who doesn't know that Qing Ziyu was rescued from prison by the adults, and he is loyal to the adults. If he talks about the adults in front of Ziyu, isn't that just scolding
However, this man is also an exaggerated person. After being quiet for a while, he couldn't help but whispered again, "Ziyu, you said that we took down Yunzhou with great difficulty, why did you open the gates of the city wide and let the people come in and out?" ah?"
"When the time comes, everyone will run away, and it won't be interesting for us to hold an empty city."
"Since the people can leave, of course they can also go back."
Qing Ziyu looked into the flower building, and his pair of slightly raised peach eyes were full of admiration, "My lord will never do useless work. He opened the city gate wide and let the people in and out. Naturally, some people will come back again." grasp."
Iron cavalry entered the city, burned and robbed, committed all kinds of crimes, and the people would naturally desperately want to escape.
But their Miaocheng army never disturbed the people since they entered the city, did not touch the people's belongings, did not touch the people's houses, and even opened the city gate. Everything was like before the city of Yunzhou was broken. It was even better than before.
Perhaps at the beginning some people were frightened and ran for their lives, but when they knew that the other people who stayed in Yunzhou had no loss, who would want to leave their hometown
Inside the house, the profusely sweaty procuress was so frightened that her calves were trembling, she led the way with limp legs.
"There is a girl named Ya'er in the courtyard. She just put up a sign and changed her name. I don't know if the official is looking for it... ah!!"
She was lifted up abruptly, and in front of her was a strong man with red eyes like a ghost, Hou Er's face was cold, and his eerie voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, "You asked her to pick up the guests ?”
"No no!!!"
The whole body of the bustard was shaking, and she quickly denied it, "I just put up the signboard, and I haven't had time to pick up the guests yet, she is still innocent, sir, sir, please calm down, sir..."
"alright."
She was so frightened that she didn't know what to do, when she heard a magnetic and calm voice, with a heroic face, a handsome man in white armor patted her demon's shoulder.
"It's important to find Ya'er first, she should be terrified now, take her back earlier."
That's right, Ya'er is the most important thing.
Regardless of whether she is innocent or not, she is still his daughter, he must take her back to his side, choose a good husband, and marry her off gracefully.
The hatred in Hou Er's eyes slowly disappeared, and he let go of the hand that was holding the madam, "Yes, my lord."
The old bustard led them all the way to the small house on the far side, "Officer, this is the place, this girl lives here."
After she finished speaking flatteringly and fearfully, she stepped forward to knock on the door, "Girl, open the door quickly, it's me..."
There was no movement inside, the old bustard pushed the door a few times but didn't open it, fearing that the two officials would be angry, he suggested, "Why don't you knock the door open?"
"Sister Ya'er..."
Xiao Yi shrank into the girl's arms, his big eyes were full of fear.
"Hush..."
Ya'er looked around, and carried the little girl in her arms to the bottom of the bed, "Get in, don't make a sound."
She was too scared, with tears rolling in her eyes, and with a choked voice, she told Xiaoyi, "No matter what you hear, don't come out, wait until there is no one outside, and then run out quietly, understand?"
The little girl hid under the dark bed, looked at her sister who had been protecting her outside, cried and nodded, "Xiaoyi remembers."
Ya'er blocked the box outside to make sure that she couldn't see inside, then walked towards the door step by step with fear in her heart.
She opened the door and saw the bustard outside, "Mom, I..."
"Yeah!"
Hou Er, who was wearing a suit of armor, saw her.
It's almost exactly the same as I remember, just a little bigger.
He finally found it.
His daughter!
He stepped forward excitedly, his expression was even a little ferocious because he was too excited, "Ya, ya, dad has been..."
"-ah!!"
"Don't come here, go away!"
Rao was prepared before opening the door. The girl who was too nervous at first saw such a tall and strong man with a knife coming in front of her viciously, she subconsciously screamed and hid back.
The story of how the Xiongnu dealt with girls from the Jin State told by the sisters of Hualou rang in my mind.
The calmness he had been trying to maintain all this time finally collapsed when the incident came to an end.
"Girl, I'm dad..."
Hou looked helplessly at the daughter who was crying and screaming in despair to escape from him, his eyes suddenly turned red.
"I, don't you remember dad? I'm dad..."
The screams suppressed Hou Er's voice. This man, who was secretly evaluated by his brothers, faced his terrified daughter. He didn't know where to put his hands and feet, let alone figured out a way to comfort her.
He was asking the assistant to speak clearly, when a childish and youthful voice burst out full of anger.
"You are not allowed to bully sister Ya'er!"
The little girl who had been obediently hiding under the bed heard Ya'er's screams, and finally couldn't help it, pushed open the box with great effort and got out, her little arms spread out, blocking between Hou Er and Ya'er.
Wei Mingyan looked at such a little Douding standing here who didn't even reach his thigh, and stepped directly in front of her.
"Little guy, you're quite loyal."
A pair of slender hands directly hugged her whole small body, Xiaoyi's desperate struggle seemed to Wei Mingyan to be playing around, he gently restrained the little girl in his arms, "Look, that's you Sister Ya'er's own father, how could he bully her?"
When the old bustard heard this, her eyes lit up, she suppressed the fear in her heart, her legs were no longer weak, she rushed over, and hugged the terrified girl, "Girl, don't be afraid , your father is looking for you."
"Look, that's your father, do you still recognize it?"
Dad...
The girl whose thoughts were in confusion finally heard these words, her eyes gradually became clear, eyes full of tears, timidly and unbelievably, she looked at Hou Er.
"Girl...you don't remember dad?" Hou Erhong carefully took out a hair rope from his bosom with eyes wide open.
"When Dad was leaving, didn't you say to ask Dad to buy you a hair tie when he came back?"
"Look, I bought it, I bought it back..."
The dark red hair rope fell into Ya'er's eyes.
She was stunned, looking at Hou Er with misty eyes, her voice hoarse, "Father..."
Ya'er ran over and bumped into his arms.
Hou Er started his hands stiffly, tears fell, and gently patted her on the back.
Just like when Hou Er came back from the field when she was a child, she also coquettishly wanted to eat the wild fruit he brought down from the mountain. At that time, Hou Er would deliberately tease her daughter and lift the fruit to a height that she couldn't reach. Seeing her tiptoeing to reach it but not being able to reach it, I laughed out loud.
Ya'er couldn't reach the fruit, so angry and fussy, she burst into tears, and Hou Er was in a hurry, so she hurriedly stuffed the fruit to her daughter before her wife came back, hugged her and coaxed her, "Don't Don't cry, your mother will say me again after seeing it..."
Now, his daughter is still crying as she was when she was a child, and he is coaxing her like before.
But, there is no more a woman who scolded her and made her daughter cry again.
"Girl, don't be afraid..."
Hou Er patted his daughter's back lightly, "Father is back."
