Tang Yu pursed her lips tightly, but her eyes like a frightened deer still betrayed her helplessness. He Ran gently held her hand and said softly: "I went to the Zhou Family Fort not long ago. The Seventeenth Grand Master Qiu Hou asked for execution. Zhou Zhongliang was stabbed by me. He was already frightened." Tang Yu's tears welled up in her eyes, but she resisted them from flowing out: "It wasn't them, it was my grandfather and my uncle. They, they intercepted my brother and me on the road." He Ran's heart skipped a beat. The grandfather and uncle Tang Yu mentioned were her mother's father and brother!
She had heard Big Fat say before that the reason why Tang Yu and Dong Gua could no longer stay in Zhoujiapu was because they were forced to leave by her grandfather and uncle. "Tell me about it in detail, don't be afraid, just tell me." He Ran said. The Tang Yu siblings got into this unwarranted disaster because they helped her, so she took charge of this matter!
Tang Yu wiped the tears that came out of his eyes with his sleeves, his chest heaved a few times, and finally said: "Grandpa asked us to get out, so my brother and I left Zhoujiapu. We were going to Pingyang. Brother Yue stayed with Big Fatty. An address told Big Fatty to go find his friends when he was in trouble. Big Fatty gave us the address and asked us to go to Brother Yue. But before we reached Pingyang City, we were overtaken by my grandfather and uncle. They also brought seven or eight people from Zhoujiapu. We couldn't beat them, so they covered our mouths and dragged us into a mule cart. We had to cross the road. When people saw it and asked what was going on, my uncle said that the nephew at home was not filial to his mother. He, the uncle, wanted to take us back to admit our mistakes. Haha, my mother was still being used by them after she died. They are not human beings! They didn't take us back to Zhoujiapu, but to Fan County. When we arrived in Fan County, I didn't see the winter melon anymore. They gave me medicine and if I didn't drink it, they pried open my mouth and forced it in. Pour it in." When Tang Yu said this, he was trembling all over and his teeth were chattering. He Ran thought of Cai Qianhu, the patron of the Seventeenth Grandpa in Fan County, and she asked, "They gave you to Cai Qianhu?"
Tang Yu nodded, but could not utter a single word. She just bit her lip hard and it bled. He Ran didn't ask what happened, but just asked: "How did you escape?" Seeing that she didn't ask again, Tang Yu guessed what she was thinking. She tried her best to stop shaking, but her voice was still trembling: "I met a good person, and she saved me." He Ran gave her an encouraging look and motioned for her to continue. "That was a house in the county town, and that person lived in the outer room of the house. She was a sister with a bodhisattva heart, and she was a good person! When I woke up, she was the only one in the house. She told me that I was still clean, and said that the man was very unhappy when he saw me, saying that he had given me too much medicine, and that I was like a dead dog. He was not interested, and asked my sister to lock me up after I woke up. He also said that after being locked up for a few days, he would become obedient, which was more interesting than using medicine to make him half-dead.
I begged my sister to let me go, and she agreed. She avoided the maid and mother-in-law and took me to the corner gate. When we arrived at the corner gate, she handed me the door bar. She said that she was also sent here by her family, but she had nowhere to go and no relatives to worry about. She asked me Go find your brother, and when you find him, leave far away and never come back.
She asked me to hit her on the head, saying that as long as she didn't beat her to death, she said that only in this way could she be safe, and said that she couldn't do it herself. I did so, and she fell to the ground, and I ran away. I don’t know what happened to her. I secretly climbed into a large car heading to Pingyang, but I was discovered before I had gone far. I kowtowed to them and begged them to let me go. The car handlers and the escort tied me up and sold me to Ren Yazi. . " Tang Yu laughed at himself when he said this: "I'm so useless, right? I'm so useless! I can't protect my brother, I can't even protect myself! I even hurt my sister!" He Ran patted her hand gently and said softly: "I can't blame you, you have done your best." Tang Yu shook his head, she was just useless. If she was strong enough, how could she have reached this point?
"Ren Yazi heard that I was a son of a good family and was worried that selling me nearby would cause trouble, so he sold me to another Ren Yazi. That Ren Yazi was helping the Cai family purchase girls to send to Jinyang. Seeing that I was young and tall, It’s not ugly, so I was included in it.” Hearing this, He Ran asked: "Sending people off from Pingyang to Jinyang? Are they all young girls like you?" Tang Yu nodded: "Well, I heard from the girls who were traveling with me that we were a thank-you gift from the Cai family to Prince Jin. There were thirty people in total. This time I was careful and made up a place of origin, saying that I and my family were I got separated, just hoping that they wouldn't pay attention to me and I could find a chance to escape. But I overestimated my ability. Along the way, I didn't find a chance to escape. Later, when we arrived in Jinyang, the palace received other thank-you gifts but did not accept us. The people who sent us here had to persuade us before they accepted us. After questioning each one, they wanted to send us to the military camp in Jinyang. Just then, a man who looked like a general came out. After seeing us, he said that none of their Xinzhou military camps had such good people as us, so he asked Prince Jin for ten people, including me." When he said this, Tang Yu paused, with a bit of awe in his expression: "In the eyes of those people, the ten of us are military masters and can be used as they please. Among the ten of us, except for me, the other nine came from that kind of place. I cut myself with broken pieces of porcelain, let blood stain my skirt, and pretended to be menstruating. I only had this one piece of clothing, so along the way, as long as I turned around, everyone could see the back of my skirt. blood stains. " Tang Yu blushed, which added a bit of life to her withered face, finally giving her the look that a fifteen or sixteen year old girl should have.
He Ran understood that not only those in the military, but also many men in this era were taboo about this. Of course, they are taboo about this not because they pity the woman for being unwell, but because they think it is unlucky, especially for those who are going to fight on the battlefield. Moreover, there are so many women, there is no need to sleep with a woman wearing Gui Shui. woman, so as not to bring about a bloody disaster to herself. He Ran looked at Tang Yu again with a little more admiration. This little girl came to Xinzhou in this way. Tang Yu continued: "They didn't guard against us along the way. Maybe they thought we didn't dare to run away. They would also ask us to accompany them when they were eating. Of course, they wouldn't call me, neither those people nor my companions. The girls all disliked me for being a loser, so they kept me far away from me when they slept, which actually gave me a chance to escape."
