Chapter 47

At midnight, Xiaohua suddenly woke up.

She seemed to hear someone calling her, and she looked around.

The moonlight outside seemed to be very good. It shone in through the window nailed by wooden strips, and you could see clearly around the house. LiuYe and Cuilan seem to be asleep. They hold each other and curl up in the corner.

Xiaohua heard someone calling her softly again, and she slowly found it by the window.

Looking out through the gap, I knew that Grandma Wang had come.

"Granny Wang, why are you here?"

Mrs. Wang's old face was very tight. She seemed very sad and was afraid to cause Xiaohua to be sad.

"You silly girl, I'm worried about you when I hear the wind."

Xiaohua wanted to cry a little, but she was afraid to make the old woman sad, so she smiled, "mother-in-law, you don't have to worry about me, I'm fine."

Mrs. Wang finally couldn't help crying. She was afraid of being heard and covered her mouth. "You silly girl has been sold. How can it be good? Unfortunately, I can't speak, so I can only watch."

Xiaohua looked up, held back her tears, took a deep breath and said with a strong smile, "grandma, you despise me too much. How can I say that Xiaohua has been sold many times? This idea can't pass, and she won't live so long."

Mrs. Wang was teased to cry and laugh, "it's good to think so. My mother-in-law is afraid you can't hold it."

Even if Mrs. Wang couldn't see it outside, Xiaohua raised her small fist and waved, "mother-in-law, don't underestimate me. I'm a small wild flower in the field. The wind can't die and the rain can't die. Even if it falls now, it can still bloom next year." she blinked hard and wanted to blink back her tears, "by the way, mother-in-law, how do you know we're locked here?"

Mrs. Wang wiped away her old tears. "I've been in this house for so many years. I don't know where in this house. Most sellers are locked in this yard. It's a pity that the house is heavily guarded and there are several doors outside the yard. Otherwise, my mother-in-law really wants to let you out secretly."

The little flower tugged at her mouth and made a relaxed gesture: "mother-in-law, you are silly. If you let me out, I will have no shelter. This world, where can I go to live with a little girl? There is no household register. The body deed is still in the hands of the people, and it is even worse to be caught by the escaped slaves."

Mrs. Wang muttered to herself, "yes, alas -"

She stuffed a small cloth bag through the window. "Take this. There's some food and some silver in it."

Xiaohua refused, "mother-in-law, why do you give me silver? I don't want it."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said, "you silly girl, you were sold in a hurry. You must have no silver on you. You really can defend yourself from anything."

Xiaohua thought it was the same, so she took it down and squeezed the small cloth bag tightly with her fingers.

"Thank you, mother-in-law."

"Thank you. It's no use asking for silver, but it's not much. I'll defend you." seeing the stagnant atmosphere, Mrs. Wang said again: "I didn't find out where you were sold, but madam shouldn't sell you to the pickled place. After all, those two were used by the fourth young master."

This idea coincided with Xiaohua. Hearing this, Xiaohua's heart hung all the time.

After they said a few words, Mrs. Wang was ready to leave. When he left, he said with a strong smile: "the old woman is afraid that you can't think of it. If you can have the strength you just had, you can live anywhere."

"Take care, mother-in-law." Xiaohua murmured.

"Take care, little girl."

After Mrs. Wang left, the little flower nest back to the corner. She looked at the Cuilan and willow leaves on the ground. They didn't wake up.

She opened the cloth bag. There were two pieces of broken silver and two cakes in it. The cake is very small. It's only as big as a palm. It's estimated that Granny Wang knew that the window gap was not big, so she handed it so small.

The tears that had been held for a long time came out at once.

She took a cake and broke it into her mouth. He chewed the cake in his mouth and burst into tears.
