3. True and false daughters
Ye Sasa breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Wang Mama said. As long as Ye Yiyi is gone, she will have no worries in the future. Although I feel sorry for Ye Yiyi, in Ye Sasa’s view, Ye Yiyi was born to be a hapless person and did not have that happy life. Thinking about it in a good place, it is still a good thing that she can die sooner so she can suffer less torture.
“Sister, are you asleep?” At this time, the voice of the third young master of the Ye family suddenly came out from outside. Ye Sasa looked up and saw a little boy of six or seven years old, leaning on the edge of the window and looking in. Seeing that Ye Sasa hadn’t gone to bed yet, the boy waved at her with great interest and shouted, “Sister, let’s go out and play with bugs, bugs!”
To catch bugs? What is there to do? Ye Sasa frowned and directly rejected the third brother’s invitation: “No, I don’t want to go.” If Ye Sasa was still a five-year-old girl, she might really run out to catch bugs. But now, her soul is in her thirties, and she has no interest in the dramas that children love to play. Looking at the mud marks on Ye San’s hands, a trace of disgust flashed in Ye Sasa’s eyes.
“Third brother, as the young master of the Ye family, how can you surrender your identity and play with things like bugs?” She ruthlessly accused, “Qin Shizi will make a fortune at the age of seven, why can’t you follow along? If it goes on like this, I’ll tell mother.”
Young Master Ye San has been mischievous since he was a child, causing trouble everywhere, so it’s no wonder that he didn’t achieve much when he grew up, and could only be a playboy who gave the family a headache.
Since she had a new life and knew that the rebel army would change in the future, she might as well educate her brothers so that they can achieve something in troubled times.
“Sister, don’t tell mother, don’t tell mother!” The third young master did not expect that in the past few days, the younger sister who has always been close to him has become like this.
It was obvious that they had made an appointment before to go catch bugs and play together.
Moreover, the younger sister actually disliked him…
Although she didn’t show it clearly, the gaze she looked at him was no different from those annoying adults.
Looking at Ye Sasha’s tender and lovely face, for some reason, a subtle sense of resistance rose up in the third young master’s heart in vain.
“I hate sister, I’ll never play with her again!”
He shouted angrily, turned his head and ran away.
“Miss, this…” Wang Mama, who witnessed all this, changed her face slightly, and couldn’t help but reminded :
“When the third young master gone, should the young lady go see him?” If it spreads out, it will harm the reputation of the young lady.
“It’s okay,” Ye Sasa said nonchalantly, “don’t worry about him.” In the last life, the third brother was the one who cared about her the most.
For her, he even gave Ye Yiyi several looks.
Although her words were a bit harsh, but she was for his own good, how could he not appreciate it?
Ye Sasa didn’t care about the little temper of Young Master Ye San.
…
Lin Xiaotang was not aware of the various situations in Ye Mansion.
After appeasing Lin Yiyi, she left Qinghe Village with her child and walked away from the capital.
The original owner is from the capital. If they stay for a long time, sooner or later, it will be discovered that she is not dead.
Besides, it was too close to the capital, and it was inconvenient for her to do errands.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaotang set off.
Lin Xiaotang was a little worried before, whether Lin Yiyi would make a fuss after seeing the house burnt down.
But fortunately, Lin Yiyi is only five years old now, no matter how sensible and smart she is, she is only a child.
For Lin Yiyi, her mother is everything to her.
As long as her mother can survive, as long as she can follow her mother, Lin Yiyi will be satisfied.
Being taken to an unfamiliar place by Lin Xiaotang, she neither cried nor made trouble but instead smiled timidly at Lin Xiaotang.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaotang felt relieved.
After a few months of running around with her daughter, Lin Xiaotang successfully left the capital and came to a place thousands of miles away.
As the walking distance increased, Lin Xiaotang found that the farther away from the capital, the more desolate it looked and the worse the security environment.
She passed several towns and could clearly observe the increase in the number of homeless beggars.
In places outside the town, there are still bandits and robbers from time to time.
Fortunately, after wandering around in so many worlds and learning a lot of knowledge, Lin Xiaotang didn’t suffer too much along the way.
Not only did she not endure hardship, but she also lived well.
Even if someone sees them as lonely and helpless, and sees Lin Xiaotang as weak and beautiful, they want to bully and humiliate them.
But they often end up being beaten by Lin Xiaotang.
Some households with good conditions will be “robbed” by Lin Xiaotang.
In this way, although Lin Xiaotang had no money and had a child by her side, with her own ability and the help of those “kind-hearted people”, Lin Xiaotang quickly saved enough money to buy a spacious and comfortable carriage.
Apart from these, the food and clothing conditions of the two have also improved a lot.
Lin Yiyi, who was originally black and thin has eaten big fish and meat for a long time, and no longer has to work in the fields. Her body has become fatter and her skin has turned white.
What’s even more rare is that Lin Yiyi’s character has gradually changed, perhaps because she is used to seeing her mother Lin Xiaotang’s tough tactics.
In the past, Lin Yiyi had no opinion was docile and cowardly like a dodder and could only cling to Lin Xiaotang tightly.
If Lin Xiaotang left for a short while, she would be in a state of anxiety and would not even be able to eat.
But now, Lin Yiyi’s character is much more lively.
When Lin Xiaotang is “fishing for law enforcement”, she will cooperate with the acting.
When they are almost entangled with flowers, Lin Yiyi will even take the initiative to observe the surroundings to see if there are potential fat sheep.
Just like now, when Lin Xiaotang was still eating at the inn, Lin Yiyi stretched out her hand, tugged at her sleeve, and whispered, “Mother, at the table behind you, there is a man watching you all the time .”
The little girl remembered the roast chicken she had eaten a few days ago, and her tone was very excited: “He doesn’t look like a good person, do you want to kill him?”
Lin Xiaotang: “…”
Feeling Lin Yiyi’s excitement, she fell into brooding.
If she remembered correctly, Lin Yiyi in the original book is a gentle and soft girl, right?
What has happened to her, why is it like this?
Looking at her daughter, Lin Xiaotang felt a little complicated.
She even began to reflect on herself, whether she raised Lin Yiyi crookedly.
After all, children’s personalities are unformed and easily influenced by their parents.
The original owner has a gentle personality. As her daughter, Lin Yiyi will naturally become gentle when she gets along with her day and night.
But now, the original owner has become Lin Xiaotang.
How could Lin Yiyi be soften after seeing the way Lin Xiaotang pressed those burly men to the ground and beat them violently?
Not to mention, part of Lin Xiaotang’s source of income came from “anti-robbery”.
In order to be able to eat meat Lin Yiyi can’t wait!
“Mother, he’s looking at you again,” the little girl shook Lin Xiaotang’s sleeve and said coquettishly, “Mother…”
“…” Lin Xiaotang felt helpless, “Yiyi, stop doing this.”
She stretched out her hand and patted patted Lin Yiyi’s head and said, “Our destination is coming.”
Lin Xiaotang left the capital, not to travel around the world.
Running around for a long time is not a thing, even she can’t bear it.
Now, they are far enough away from the capital.
It’s time for her to pick a place as her own.
“Are we there?”
Hearing Lin Xiaotang say this, Lin Yiyi’s face showed a curious look: “Mother, where are we going?”
Lin Yiyi couldn’t remember exactly what happened that night.
She only knew that their home was gone, and her mother Lin Xiaotang took her away from her hometown.
“You’ll find out soon.” Lin Xiaotang said.
Instead of answering Lin Yiyi’s question, she beckoned and called the guy in the inn.
“Excuse me, where are there bandits and bandits around here?”
“Bandits?” The man was slightly taken aback when he heard this.
But soon, he reacted.
The mother and daughter must have wanted to find out where the bandits were, and then avoided them specially.
“Thirty miles to the south, there is a Hulu Mountain,” said the man. “I heard that a new group of bandits has appeared there, and a passing caravan has been robbed.”
Hulu Mountain?
Lin Xiaotang smiled slightly: “Okay, I got it.”
A new batch of bandits also met her expectations.
After leaving the inn, Lin Xiaotang did not hesitate at all, and immediately took Lin Yiyi to Hulu Mountain.
And her beautiful and luxurious carriage, unsurprisingly, became the robbery target of this group of bandits.
It’s just…
“You are also considered bandits?”
Looking at these ragged, yellow-faced and thin people, Lin Xiaotang only felt that it was different from what she imagined.
In her impression, bandits are a group of vicious people.
But what about these robbers?
The weapons in their hands were actually sticks and hoes.
There were a few frail men, even shorter than her.
Looking at these trembling people, Lin Xiaotang regretted a little.
What she was looking for was a younger brother, not a burden.
Knowing that they were so weak, she might as well try another hill.
What Lin Xiaotang didn’t know was that these miserable bandits in front of him were also very regretful.
They saw that Lin Xiaotang was an orphan, widowed, and rich, and they thought it was a fat sheep.
Who knew that this woman’s force value was so high that she easily overturned them!
“How can you big families understand?” After hearing Lin Xiaotang’s words, someone couldn’t help but retort, “If we can survive, who would want to rob?”
Now, which of the “so-called bandits” and “bandits” is not ? I couldn’t get along in my hometown, so I had to run up the mountain?
Those in power made violent levies and made them miserable, which forced the resistance of these common people.
The person who spoke seemed to be the leader of this group of people.
His phrasing is quite elegant, and the dialect accent is not heavy, which is obviously different from ordinary people.
“Have you read?”
Lin Xiaotang realized this and asked.
The man denied it at once: “No, I can only recognize a few words.”
Hearing this, Lin Xiaotang was not very surprised.
In this world, scholars can live much easier than ordinary people, how could there be a situation where “can’t live” in his mouth.
However, just because he hasn’t read books doesn’t mean others haven’t.
The person who taught them to speak and read must have a lot to do with this group of bandits.
Most likely, he was the one who persuaded them to go up the mountain.
How could a scholar come to take care of the bandit?
Lin Xiaotang suddenly became interested in this group of people.
“Do you want to have a full meal?”
she asked after glancing at these people.
They nodded.
“I will support you,” Lin Xiaotang said lightly, “As a price, your stock is mine.”
