Gu Erbai's Pastoral Life

Chapter 300 Everyone Thinks You Are Smooth Sail

Bluestone Riverbank.

Leading to the desolate Baitu Mountain, two thin figures stumbled and walked forward without bounds.

Stepping on the fine and dry leaves under your feet, a full moon shines in the sky above your head.

Xiao Taozi slowly opened her eyes, revealing a slit, and what caught her eyes were two pairs of slow footsteps, the light was dark and blurry, making it difficult to see clearly.

The pain in the back of her neck was still there, but she could feel that her body was being supported to move forward slowly.

And the smell of this person was something she was all too familiar with.

She stopped abruptly, and shakily pushed away the person beside her. The blurred scenery in front of her eyes gradually became clearer.

Xiao Xingzi was suddenly pushed a few feet away, her legs and feet were weakened, and she staggered forward and fell down.

Reflexively, she stretched out her hands to protect her stomach, and finally fell on half of the dead wood. The blood on her pale face lost all color, as if she had walked such a long distance, exhausted all her strength, and was hit hard again.

Xiao Taozi rubbed her forehead and looked up at the sky high and vast, with a bright moon hanging above it, crows singing, surrounded by barren fields, and beside her was a quiet Qingshi River.

"Where is this?"

She shook her head and asked.

Xiao Xingzi pursed her dry rawhide lips, and said weakly, "I don't know."

"Apricot."

After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly called out to her, lowered her head to look at Xiao Xingzi who was paralyzed there, her eyes were slightly red, and her tone was pleading, "Shall we go back?"

"Go back, where are you going?" Xiao Xingzi was paralyzed there, looking at her with a foolish smile, "Sending her to death?"

Her smile was cold and thin, as if everything didn't matter anymore.

"……why why?"

Xiao Taozi whispered softly in her mouth for a long time, as if she didn't understand very much, and finally frowned slightly, and two lines of hot tears rolled down like this, "Tell me why!"

She suddenly broke down emotionally, and ran over fiercely, clutching her skirt tightly with both hands, the backs of her hands turned red with force.

From the bottom of her eyes, Xiao Xingzi could see the scarlet color that hated iron.

It is a thousand times more resentful than when she said she was insensitive.

"Tell me first...why does everyone like you?"

Xiao Xingzi slowly raised her head, with a smile on her pale face, all the moonlight in the dark night was reflected in her cold eyes, it was so bright, but there was no content.

She looked at her indifferently as if looking at a stranger.

At this moment, she didn't know the sisters who had been with her for more than ten years.

Xiao Taozi suddenly let go of her, and took a few steps back.

At night, the cold air from the Qingshi River swept across the body, icy cold from the soles of the feet to the top of the head.

"What? Disappointed?"

The smile on Xiao Xingzi's mouth widened, and at the end there was something cold about it, "You can go back at dawn, it's not safe now."

"Xingzi, I didn't expect, I didn't expect that you always cared so much about other people's opinions. I thought our relationship was just a matter of two people, and we didn't regard her as a heart-to-heart person anyway..."

"Sister Taozi, stop talking, I'm just jealous of you."

Xiao Xingzi raised her head and looked at her with alienation.

Xiao Taozi couldn't see a trace of emotion from her face, and the tears that flowed down became a joke, as if something had faded long ago without her noticing it.

Her heart seemed to be hollowed out in an instant, powerless and speechless.

"We are different and will never be true sisters."

she says.

Xiao Taozi squatted on the ground, crying with her head in her arms, shaking her head while crying.

Xiao Xingzi turned her face away, touched two stones from the ground, rubbed them lightly, knocked them hard, her arms shook, each stroke seemed to be desperately grinding.

Finally, a cluster of sparks suddenly bloomed on the dry reed leaves, gradually illuminating the clear tears on her face.

Sister Taozi, from the beginning to the end, I am not worthy.

The fire was gradually set up by the branches of the trees, and the warm light of the fire reflected on the face of the person, scalding hot.

Xiao Taozi had cried enough, and gradually sat down towards the fire, her eyes lowered, she did not look at her, and she held the wooden stick in her hand, "Do you think they can't find you?"

"I didn't want to look for it." Xiao Xingzi rubbed her hands, her face still untouched, "The host should wait for Madam to wake up before making a decision."

"wake up?"

Hearing this, Xiao Taozi's eyes lit up instantly, a little brighter than the fire in front of her.

Ma'am, is there anything wrong?
"It's okay, the princess missed."

Xiao Xingzi shook her head and said nothing more.

"Then it's all right, Madam is very soft-hearted, you go to beg her, just say that you were infatuated for a while, you were held hostage by Princess Jiang, you..."

Xiao Taozi ran over and grabbed her arm, her eyes were full of eagerness.

Xiao Xingzi didn't listen to what she said, but calmly raised her head and looked at her, "Sister Taozi, I beg you one thing."

"what's up?"

"Help me delay for four months."

"...You really don't want to turn back?"

Xiao Taozi frowned, tears fell down again unknowingly, this is her dearest sister.

"There's no going back, you know that."

Xiao Xingzi pulled out a stiff smile. She looked like she was crying, but she kept laughing, "I can't turn back a long time ago."

"Okay, I'll help you, I'll help you drag."

Xiao Taozi nodded, she knew her better than anyone else, and no one could pull back her expression.

"Can you tell me why?"

Xiao Xingzi shook her head, and sat there silently, her eyes had no fire, as if she was about to fall asleep due to extreme exhaustion.

"Okay, then I'll tell you why everyone likes me."

Xiao Taozi wiped away the tears from her eyes, and sat quietly aside, letting the fire light dry the tears on her face.

"I'm a concubine, and the mistress of the family can't tolerate me, so I knew since I was a child that I have to try my best to please everyone around me in order to survive, but I was eventually sent to Gu's mansion to be a maid.

Yes, Gu's Mansion is a place that shines, and ordinary girls would feel extremely honored to be a maid.

But who doesn't want to be with their biological parents, who doesn't want to grow up under the care of their loved ones, even if their life is ordinary, who wants to be sent to a rich family to be a maid when they are young, to put it bluntly, is to be Parents abandoned.

When I was six years old, like everyone else, I liked to hang around behind the radiant owner, but after following for several years, the owner didn't even remember my appearance.

That day, I was forgotten on the ice, I was so scared, I felt that I was abandoned by the world, and there was no one to rely on.

Later Ah Shen passed by, he saved me, and from then on I regarded him as my god.

I pestered him all day long, stayed with him, and tried every means to make him happy. Even if he was in a bad mood and scolded me sometimes, I would always smile.

But all these years, he has always had the princess in his heart, and you know, it was the princess who didn't give him a chance, so he chose me.

When the old lady chooses her servant, you don't know..."

As Xiao Taozi said, she raised the shawl on her arm, revealing a large area of ​​burns on her shoulders, "Qiang'er poured it, a whole basin of hot water."
