[Chapter 310 Living Corpse (seven.)]

Qingfeng is not a special person who fell into the Wangchuan River. Like other ghosts, she came to seek a ghost doctor for medical treatment. She wanted to swim across the Wangchuan River, but was corroded by the Wangchuan River. She struggled in the river, She touched the shore, but didn’t have the strength to go ashore, so when she heard footsteps, she asked happily, “Is it Mr. Wangchuan?”

“No, I’m Mr. Xuehu’s maid, Xuehu.” Xuehu She replied that she was ordered by Mr. Wangchuan to pick the other shore flowers, but she didn’t want to find a ghost struggling to go ashore.

When Qingfeng heard this, he was very happy. He stretched out his hand and asked, “Can you give me a hand? I’m here to find a ghost doctor.

” The fox replied softly, picking the other flowers growing on the shore with his hands.

“…Then I’m here now, right?”

Xuehu didn’t answer, Qingfeng thought that Xuehu had acquiesced. She heard the ghost messenger mentioned the three rules of ghost doctors and wanted to tell her own story, so she asked: “Then I’ll tell you my story now, can you take me to Mr. Wang Chuan? I can’t see it anymore.”

Xuehu still didn’t respond, because there were too many ghosts like this, she was not in the mood to pay attention to it, she continued Picking the other shore flowers, let Qingfeng talk to himself…

Ten years ago, Qingfeng was a little girl, only nine years old. Unfortunately, Qingfeng’s family is not rich, and he has a father who is addicted to gambling. The father even forgot his surname when he gambled, and he always lost everything. In the end, the father even lost his wife and children. His wife was sold to a brothel, and his daughter was sold to a gentleman. A big family is a maid.

What can a little girl in a big family do, nothing more than wash clothes and sweep the floor, and the kitchen thing is not Qingfeng’s turn. Therefore, at a young age, Qingfeng knows how to endure hunger and do one wrong thing. To be starved for a whole day, in her opinion, the clothes of the big families can’t be washed and the floor can’t be swept. In this deep courtyard, no one will sympathize with her, not to mention nine-year-old girls, there are many five or six-year-olds, no one will sympathize with Qingfeng, except for the second young master of the Geng family. The second young master was eleven years old and was born in the third room of Mr. Geng. Because the eldest of the Geng family drowned, the second young master became an only son, so he cherished him very much. Speaking of which, this second young master is not like the rest of the Geng family, but he has a good heart. When he sees Xiao Qingfeng holding the wooden basin, he will smile and stretch out his hands.

“I’ll help you.”

“Thank you, Second Young Master.” Qing Feng replied with a smile.

Unexpectedly, this scene made the second young master’s nanny look at her. This nanny is not a good person. She is bitter and mean. dare not speak.

“Ouch, Second Young Master, how can you touch something so dirty.” The nurse screamed, took the basin from Second Young Master’s hand, put it on the ground, and wiped Second Young Master’s hand.

The second young master pointed to the basin full of clean clothes and replied, “This basin is clean.”

“Yo, little ancestor, don’t care whether it is clean or not, this thing is taken by the servants, the second young master’s hand, it is for It’s used for writing and playing chess.” The nurse said flatteringly, when she turned to look at Xiao Qingfeng, her expression changed, like a mother-in-law. “Why are you still standing here? Take the clothes to dry!”

“Yes.” Xiao Qingfeng bent down to hold the wooden basin, just when she was about to touch the wooden basin, the nurse kicked her ass .

How could a nine-year-old child be kicked by an adult, kicked by a nurse, Qingfeng threw himself on the ground, his palms were scratched, and burst into tears. , why don’t you go to hang your clothes? Next time, let me see you let the second young master give you orders, be careful of your skin!”

When Qingfeng heard this, he didn’t dare to cry anymore, so he used the strength to suckle up the wooden basin, and walked slowly to the yard where the clothes were hung.

At this time, the nurse looked at the angry second young master and smiled and apologized: “Second young master, I am not talking about you, I am talking about her, the servants, you should do the servants’ business, and keep messing with their servants. , didn’t you dirty yourself?”

“You are also a servant!” The second young master is young, but he still has his own opinions. He didn’t like this nurse at all, so he shook his hand and ran away angrily.

If the second young master did this, the nurse would definitely be unhappy. She couldn’t do anything to the second young master, but she was able to sue the second young master. She went back to the third wife and said that there was a little girl who ordered the second young master to do rough work, and Qingfeng was caught by the steward. She came out, knelt in the yard, and ordered her not to eat dinner or sleep until dawn.

The moon is bright in the sky, the children on the ground miss their parents, Qingfeng is kneeling in the yard, and he doesn’t dare to bend his waist. Only when the night is quiet and everyone else is asleep, can the tears be shed.

“Mother…” Qingfeng couldn’t help crying. Although the family was poor in the past, Mother never let her do so many things. Now she has become the maid of Geng’s house, and she will never see her own. Mother, I feel sad just thinking about it.

At this time, a hand suddenly patted Qingfeng’s shoulder lightly, Qingfeng turned around and saw that it was actually the second young master.

“Second Young Master…”

“Shh…” Second Young Master gestured and took out a steamed bun from his clothes. “I specially reserved this for you tonight.”

Looking at Bai Shengsheng’s steamed buns, Qingfeng’s stomach growled. After thinking about it, he shook his head: “I can’t have it.”

“Why? Are you not hungry? “Second Young Master looked at the steamed bread, and then at Qingfeng.

Qingfeng bit his lip and replied, “It’s not that I’m not hungry, I’m afraid that the nurse will find out, and she should beat me again.

” I want to fix her.” After speaking, the second young master saw Qingfeng pulling his clothes, and hurriedly asked, “She always bullies you, don’t you want me to fix her?”

“Second Young Master, you’d better go back to your room and sleep. If you repair her, she will beat me.” The nine-year-old child, who has been beaten a lot, can see things clearly. Qingfeng understands that the nurse is here It hurts to be beaten, so she doesn’t want to be beaten again.

The second young master froze in place, the steamed bun in his hand was crushed into powder… He ran away in anger.

Since then, the second young master has never spoken to Qingfeng again. Despite this, Qingfeng is still being scolded and beaten. Whenever this happens, Qingfeng will think, fortunately, he did nothing wrong, otherwise he will be beaten. worse.

For the poor, life is to get through day by day. Nine years have passed, and the little girl has grown up. At the age of eighteen, Qingfengchuan is very slim. However, this kind of life of working day and night still does not exist. away from her.

One day, when she was drying clothes in the yard, the steward of the Geng family came over and said with a smile, “Qingfeng, I’ll go to the street later.

” Is it?” Qingfeng tugged at the clothes on the drying pole, and after smoothing the clothes, wiped the sweat from his face.

The manager of the Geng family, a middle-aged man in his forties, smiled and said to Qingfeng, “It’s not grocery shopping.” ” What

is that?”

Will I sell you?”

“Would you like to ask your wife?” Qing Feng wiped his hands on his clothes.

The steward replied: “No need.”

“Oh.” Qingfeng nodded without thinking about it for a bit. After finishing the work in hand, he went to the street with the steward.

The street is bustling with everything, and Qingfeng is also very happy to be able to come out for a walk, walking all the way to see, suddenly, there is a red gong on a stall selling jewelry, like a wood carving, Not expensive.

The steward’s eyes were sharp, and he turned around and found it, so he asked with a smile, “Do you like it?”

“Well…” Qingfeng shook her head, how dare she say she likes it, as a maid, and she has no money, the word like is something that the poor can’t say to her.

The steward didn’t say a word, and walked around the long street with Qingfeng to a silk and satin shop. The owner of the silk and satin shop knew the steward of the Geng family and greeted him with a smile.

“Yo, Steward Geng is here, what do you want today?”

“Take a piece of fabric and make clothes.” The steward nodded and replied, his eyes fixed on the colorful materials.

Qingfeng reached out and touched the few pieces of fabric on the counter. They were very slippery and comfortable. At first glance, he knew that they were worn by high-class people.

After a while, the person in charge chose the material, and after saying a few words in the ear of the satin shop owner, the silk and satin shop owner took out a rope and gestured on Qingfeng’s body. Qingfeng was puzzled and quickly asked: “This is what What?”

“This is to make new clothes for you.” The satin shop owner replied with a smile.

new clothes? Qingfeng has never worn new clothes since she was a child. She used to think about it when she was a child, because her father always said to her, Qingfeng, when father has money, I will make you new clothes… This promise, her father Not honored.

Qingfeng stared blankly at the manager, how could he make new clothes for himself? Could it be… Qingfeng thought of her mother. She thought that she was wearing new clothes on the day she left. According to neighbors, her mother was sold into a kiln. Qingfeng didn’t know where the kiln was, and she wondered in her heart whether she would be sold into the kiln like her mother. Thinking of this, Qingfeng didn’t say a word, only a kind of happiness in her heart, maybe she went, she I can see my mother.

After measuring the size, the manager took Qingfeng back to Geng’s house. When Qingfeng was going to help in the kitchen, the manager suddenly stuffed something in her hand. She took it out and saw that it was the red one. bracelet.

Qingfeng was both happy and puzzled. She didn’t understand why the steward was so kind to her all of a sudden? Is it because she is going to the kiln? or something else? But she accepted the bracelet, waiting day by day, waiting to wear new clothes, waiting to be sold into the kiln.

A few days later, news came. It turned out that Qingfeng was not going to enter a kiln, but that he was going to be betrothed by his wife to be the wife of the steward… This news was like a thunderclap on Qingfeng’s head, and the steward was already forty. Several, can be her father…
