Value peace

Chapter 3 The Strange Girl

Gu Xiyan was shocked when she heard that, she was very disgusted, and couldn't help but said: "Don't say that, it's not easy for everyone, just come out to eat..."

The little girl is very smart and very clever, she immediately felt Gu Xiyan's displeasure, before Gu Xiyan finished speaking, she interrupted: "Okay, okay, sister doesn't have to teach me, otherwise, I want to make you my second wife!"

If the little girl makes a thousand mistakes, she will be disciplined by the adults in her family. Gu Xiyan didn't say anything, just smiled calmly, and led the little girl through the woods.

The little girl held Gu Xiyan's arm tightly, as if she was very scared, while looking around, she chatted with Gu Xiyan: "Sister, I like your voice, it's clear and clear, just like my sister... …However, I am very afraid of my sister. Every time I see her, I don’t dare to talk to her. She always stares at me, so scared that I dare not make a sound. If one day my sister can be like you , that would be great!" In his tone, there was infinite sadness.

Gu Xiyan entertained her: "What's good about being like me?"

She bit her lip lightly, revealing her tiny teeth that were as smooth as shells: "She never praised me..."

Gu Xiyan smiled and said: "Did you do something wrong, so your sister is so tight with you?"

Embarrassed, she said, "My sister is really smart. Every time my sister stares at me, it's either that my shoes aren't put on properly, or the knot at my waist is tied wrong... In short, she catches me every time."

Love is deeply responsible!This is what makes having loved ones different...

The little girl asked Gu Xiyan curiously: "Why is sister here, and who else is at home?"

It may be because this little girl is a stranger, and if she walks out of this forest, she may never see her again. The defense line in Gu Xiyan's heart has completely collapsed. She said frankly: "My mother passed away when I was very young, and my father died. Married again, has a half brother, stepmother is very shrewd, treats me very politely, makes me feel like I am a guest... I really want to get married early and have my own home, but after thinking about it, I also feel that it is unrealistic, who wants to always give for no reason, or financial independence is the kingly way... I know it in my heart, but I still want to have a shoulder to lean on when I am tired, and vomit when I am wronged... ..."

"My sister not only has the same name as me, but she also experienced the same experience." The little girl burst into tears, and the conversation became heated, "My mother passed away when I was very young, and my father also died, and I gave birth to a child. Brother... I live in the countryside of Shuzhou, and only Duan Niang is with Gu Xiyan. She is afraid of me and dare not take care of me. The servants are also afraid of me. It's not fun...Father, stepmother, and younger brother live in Shengjing ...This spring, my sister brought me a letter saying that I am too old to stay in the country all the time, and that my father should take me to Shengjing and find a famous teacher to learn etiquette so that I can get married..."

Gu Xiyan was really surprised, and suddenly understood why this girl with a quiet temperament like a white lotus would show a haughty expression from time to time.A pair of pearl earrings the size of lotus seed rice are nailed on the little girl's earlobes. Gu Xiyan has seen this kind of pearls before, and they seem to be so-called Tahitian pearls. Each one of this size costs at least more than 1000 yuan. The two are exactly the same size, and the price may be more expensive.But no matter how superior the material environment is, it can't replace the grief of losing a mother and the pain of being ignored by a father!

Gu Xiyan couldn't bear it, thinking of the heart-wrenching journeys she had come here, she couldn't help comforting the little girl with a smile: "You are better than me, and you also have a sister, if you have anything to discuss with your sister, it's not like me. It's just a pair of hands!" After saying that, she herself felt a little bit embarrassed.

The little girl lowered her head and said in a voice like a mosquito: "... my sister... is not my real sister. She was born to my father's first wife. At that time, my father sent me from Shengjing because she thought I was annoying. Back home in Shuzhou... I haven't seen her for seven years..."

How complicated!

Gu Xiyan's first reaction was the grievances of wealthy families... This is too different from her life experience, Gu Xiyan has no way to comment, and it is hard to comfort her, so she has to change the subject and ask a safe topic: "What are you talking about today?" How old?"

The little girl continued to lower her head: "Today I will be 13 years old on the tenth day of October."

"Ah!" Gu Xiyan felt that today was full of surprises, "I was also born on the tenth day of October, and I will be 26 years old in autumn, 13 years older than you."

"Really? Really?" The little girl's mood changed quickly, and she immediately became happy, and said pleasantly, "Sister, why don't we become sisters with different surnames?"

Gu Xiyan was also a little excited and kept nodding.

The little girl said: "When we got out of the forest, I asked Duan Niang to prepare incense tables for us... But why have we not gotten out of the forest after walking for so long!"

Yes, they have been walking in this forest for a long time, why haven't they come to an end yet!
Gu Xiyan raised her eyes and looked around, secretly feeling that something was wrong!

Although the footpath is still paved with cobblestones, the carved benches along the road are gone, and the camphor tree seems to be much thicker than what she saw just now, and there are shades of moss under the trees, revealing a simple and simple atmosphere everywhere.

This is by no means the climate that a garden in the middle of the street can have. It has not been decades or centuries old, and it is absolutely impossible to have this kind of simplicity and antique flavor.

Have we gone in the opposite direction?
Gu Xiyan thought about it carefully, there was only this possibility.She sincerely apologized to the little girl: "Xi Yan, I'm really sorry, maybe I led the wrong way!"

The little girl pouted and complained: "Sister, my feet hurt!"

Gu Xiyan lowered her head and saw that the little girl was wearing a pair of very retro green soft shoes embroidered with yellow twigs. Then she looked at the cobblestones all over the floor. She must have given herself some face by being able to walk so far!Gu Xiyan immediately said apologetically, "Then let's sit here and go!"

When the little girl heard it, she immediately smiled and sat down on the ground.

Gu Xiyan hurriedly said: "The ground is dirty..." Gu Xiyan stopped halfway through her words, thinking that she was sitting on the side of the road drinking beer just now!
The little girl said disapprovingly: "Anyway, I've been wearing this dress for several days."

Gu Xiyan sat next to her and said casually, "Isn't it good to wear pajamas for a few days?"

The little girl let out a long sigh, and said, "You don't know, I'm living very poorly in Shuzhou."

Gu Xiyan just laughed.

The economic circumstances of the two are different, so the little girl's poverty may be considered a luxury in the eyes of others?

How can women not talk together.

The little girl complained: "Hengyue and Talang only listen to Duanniang, the two newly selected girls, Moju and Xinghong, are about the same age as me, and they were expected to be my companions. What did Duanniang say, they hid away when they saw me, and Deacon Ding also said that if they didn't like it, they would sell them all..." Then, as if thinking of something, he laughed, The look turned a little fierce, which made Gu Xiyan's heart tremble.

Although the little girl was in the same situation as her own, her mentality...was too problematic.

Gu Xiyan said mildly: "Hengyue and Talang are your servants. If there is anything wrong, just teach them more. If you don't teach, how will they know?"

When the little girl heard it, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Yes, I will teach them myself, so that they will only listen to me... Duanniang will have to stand aside..."

Gu Xiyan shook her head in her heart. She was 13 years old, not too young. At that time, she was still practicing the practice of squirrel and live fish in the kitchen in order to please her aunt?The children of the really poor are already in charge of the family!But when she saw the childish face of the little girl, Gu Xiyan did not give up, put her arms around her shoulders and said: "Xiyan, if you treat the people around you better, they will treat you better. "

The little girl was taken aback, her face showing confusion, innocent and pitiful like a lost lamb.

The essence should not be bad!Gu Xiyan's heart softened, and she reached out and hugged the little girl in her arms: "You are so beautiful and smart, you must understand what my sister said."

The little girl's body was stiff, as if she was very unaccustomed to being hugged like this.

There was a sour taste in Gu Xiyan's heart.

When she was her age, she had imagined that someone would love and hug her!

After a while, the little girl's body slowly softened, and she stretched out her arms and hugged Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan told her in her ear: "When you arrive in Shengjing, if you don't know the place where you live, it's better to have Duanniang and the others by your side than strangers... If you have any good things in the future, take care of them... As the saying goes, it's good." , the soft mouth of eating people, the short hands of holding people, although you have this layer of identity, but you have something to manage others, after all, it is different..."

The little girl leaned on Gu Xiyan's shoulder, and said in a dull voice: "Sister, you are so kind to me... No one has ever taught me this..." Gu Xiyan felt her shoulders a little wet.

Could it be crying!Gu Xiyan felt pity in her heart, and hugged her even tighter

In this way, they embraced silently, absorbing each other's warmth.

Slowly, Gu Xiyan felt something was wrong.

The little girl was not hugging her, she was pinching her so hard that her nails went through her clothes and got into her flesh.

Gu Xiyan patted the little girl's back lightly, and called her: "Xiyan, Xiyan, what's wrong with you?"

The little girl made a "grunt" sound from her throat, as if there was phlegm stuck in her throat.

problem occurs?
Gu Xiyan immediately pushed the little girl away forcefully.

The little girl's face was pale, sweat was dripping from her forehead, and her teeth were chattering slightly.

Gu Xiyan had received simple first-aid training in the company, and her first reaction was that the little girl had epilepsy, and now she was having a seizure.Immediately she flattened the little girl to the ground, and looked around to see if there was anything suitable to put in the little girl's mouth, so that she would not bite off her tongue.But there were trees all around, so Gu Xiyan had no choice but to put her hand into the little girl's mouth, and said to her, "Bite my hand, don't bite my tongue, do you hear me clearly, don't bite!" Tongue……"

The little girl looked at Gu Xiyan with pain in her eyes, and she kept scratching her chest with her hands.

Gu Xiyan's forehead was sweating immediately, and she really regretted why she didn't go to medical school in the first place.

Suddenly, the little girl opened her mouth tremblingly: "Sister, sister, sister, I, my heart, my heart hurts..."
