Chapter 287 Running away from home
The old and the young of the Lin family were also breaking the corn in the field. Aunt Qiuxia whispered to Lin Fu while breaking it: "These days, that girl Zhaodi has suffered a lot! It is rumored that Song Laoer's bastard will make her feel better." ?”

They are all from the same village, and they are neighbors. How could they not hear the cries of Song Zhaodi being beaten, and it was no secret that Song Yu beat his wife and daughter. Everyone in the village knew that the second son of the Song family only dared to show off in front of women.

"Then what can we do?" Lin Fu sighed, "It's not up to us to teach my daughter a lesson."

Aunt Qiuxia said: "Yesterday, when I passed by Song's house, I saw Zhao Di washing clothes, and the dirty clothes were piled up in a basin... My stomach is full... What's the use of Song Laoer just beating the child to vent his anger? Don't think about what to do next!"

"I think he doesn't want to recruit this girl anymore." Lin Fu said in a low voice, "A few days ago, I heard someone say that Zhaodi died earlier, so no one would think about this scandal of the Song family earlier. "

Aunt Qiuxia was so frightened that the corn sticks that had been broken off fell to the ground, and she hurriedly picked them up, shaking her head and sighing, "A tiger's poison doesn't eat its seeds!"

Song Zhaodi can't do nothing at home like before, and there are people serving three meals a day. She is busy washing clothes every day, and she washes the clothes of the whole family, but she can't go out, can't go to the river to wash, If she washes at home, she has to draw water from the well. After a day, she is so tired that she feels dizzy and dizzy. She has to feed the pigs and chickens, and find time to help Huang's fire and cook.

After working so hard every day, if Song Yu was unhappy, he would still be beaten violently.

Song Zhaodi didn't dare to live in the west wing, so she voluntarily moved to the east room where Dong Bao's family used to live. Although it was damp and cold, Song Yu usually didn't go to the east room, so she would be less severely beaten by Song Yu.

At dawn, Song Zhaodi was woken up by Aunt Song.

"Mother, it's not dawn yet, let me sleep a little longer." Song Zhaodi said pitifully to Second Aunt Song, "I can't miss breakfast."

Second Aunt Song sighed, brought in a large bucket of water, scooped a bowl of water from the bucket and handed it to Song Zhaodi, "Drink it."

Song Zhaodi touched the bowl, shook her head and said, "This water is too cold, I can't drink it."

"Drink!" Second Aunt Song had a firm attitude, "You can drink as much water as you can from this bucket of water."

Song Zhaodi looked at Second Aunt Song in disbelief, and cried, "Mother, you are trying to kill me!" The well water in autumn is freezing to the bone, and if she drinks this bucket of water, she will lose half her life if she doesn't die .

Second Aunt Song wiped her tears and said: "Zhaodi, don't blame your mother for being cruel, you should drink the water quickly, if the baby has not fallen down after drinking the water, your father will put you in the car and let you go from here Dililabaogu pulled the pole! That would be a bigger punishment!"

Song Zhaodi was so frightened that she couldn't cry, and she didn't dare to cry too loudly, for fear that Song Yu in the west wing room would hear it, and cried softly: "Mother, I was wrong, don't let me drink cold water, buy me a pack of medicine, I promise to drink the medicine honestly, mother, don't let me drink cold water..."

Second Aunt Song hardened her heart, "Your father won't give you money to buy medicine, that bastard is not willing to spend a penny! Zhao Di, it's your fate to have such a father at your stall... Who told you that you couldn't afford medicine at that time?" Drink it, it's too late to regret it now, listen to your mother and drink the cold water quickly, or you will suffer a great crime!" After saying that, Second Aunt Song picked up the bowl and forced it into Song Zhaodi's mouth.

Song Zhaodi struggled, and the cold water spilled on her face and body. The ice made her shiver a few times, crying and begging Second Aunt Song: "Mother, I drink it myself, I drink it myself!"

Second Aunt Song couldn't bear it either, handed the bowl to Song Zhaodi, stood up and said, "Okay, drink it yourself, I won't let go of that hand to pour you!"

Song Zhaodi tentatively took a sip, her teeth were shaking from the ice, and the cold water slid into her stomach, like a cold snake crawling down her throat, devouring her internal organs one by one...

"Mother, go back to the house." Song Zhaodi raised her head and said tremblingly to Second Aunt Song, "I'll drink this water...I'll call you when I'm done."

Seeing how pitiful her daughter was, Second Aunt Song nodded and wiped away her tears. Before leaving, she said, "It's for your own good too. Wait...for two days, and my mother will ask you to tell someone far away. Knowing this, you can still be a good girl and marry!"

"Hey, I know." Song Zhaodi lowered her head and said.

When Second Aunt Song went out, everything seemed blurred in the indigo light of dawn, and the bucket and bowl placed by the bed looked so hideous.Song Zhaodi listened quietly to the sounds outside, heard Second Aunt Song lift the curtain of the west wing, heard Second Aunt Song take off her shoes and go to bed, she lifted the thin quilt covering her body, put on After finishing the clothes, he didn't even dare to wear shoes, and ran out with his shoes and bare feet hugging his belly. He was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe, and he didn't dare to open the door, only dared to get out through the crack of the door.

At dawn, Tagouji was still in a deep sleep, not even a dog barked, Song Zhaodi was walking fast on the deserted road, her heart was beating like it was going to explode, she didn't want to run away from home , but she also knew that the bucket of cold water alone could kill her, and if the cold water didn't work, what was waiting for her, she didn't know what it would be.

She didn't dare to put on her shoes until she got out of Tagouji. The village is full of cobblestone roads, and if she walks in shoes, the hard cloth soles will make noise.

Out of the village is a main road, the sun has not yet risen, and the surrounding area is shrouded in a thin morning mist, Song Zhaodi looked around blankly, immediately tightened his clothes, and walked to the town, father is such a ghost , she had to find a way out for herself.

Song Zhaodi didn't walk slowly. When she arrived in the town, the east had just turned pale. Because it was the autumn harvest season, there were very few shops open in the town, and even fewer shops opened so early.Song Zhaodi walked for a long time before she came across a store that was open, and the clerk was yawning and unloading the door panel.

"Brother, do you know where Mr. Yan's family is?" Song Zhaodi stepped forward and asked, "It's Mr. Yan who is an official!"

The man looked at her suspiciously for a long time before asking, "Why are you asking this? Who are you?"

"I'm a relative of their family!" Song Zhaodi said, "There is an urgent matter at home to find them... I haven't been here for a long time... I got lost... I can't remember where their home is!"

The clerk still didn't believe it, but subconsciously regarded Song Zhaodi as a relative of Mr. Yan, and said to her, "I'll show you how to go to the town office. You can go directly to the town office to find Mr. Yan!"

Song Zhaodi burst into tears. The longer the time dragged on, the more likely the Song family would take her back, "Brother, I really need to find them urgently! Please show me the way!"

Seeing Song Zhaodi crying with snot and tears, the clerk was really pitiful, so he pointed out the way for Song Zhaodi and said, "I only know the alley where Mr. Yan lives, but I don't know which one it is. You can go there and wait." Inquire about it."

Song Zhaodi was so happy that she even forgot to say thank you, and hurried to the alley pointed by the clerk, but there were quite a few families in the alley, all of which were high-end courtyards, Song Zhaodi was cruel, and directly knocked on the door of the first family .

After a long time, an elderly woman came to open the door, squinted at Song Zhaodi several times, and asked, "Who are you?"

Song Zhaodi laughed and asked, "Ma'am, is this Master Yan's house?"

"No!" The mother-in-law shook her head, pointed to the house in the innermost alley, and said, "That's Lord Yan's house!"

Hearing these words, Song Zhaodi felt that she was alive again, and hurried to the end of the alley, banging on the door desperately.

"Who is this?" The mother-in-law frowned at Song Zhaodi, "How can there be such a knock on the door, like a debt-collecting enemy!"

Mr. Yan had already gone to the town office at this time, and the person who answered the door was Mama He, and when she opened the door, she saw a poorly dressed peasant girl, she didn't recognize her face, so she asked: "Girl, did you go to the wrong door? "

"Is this Mrs. Yan's house? Does Song Dongning live here?" Song Zhaodi asked anxiously, and looked back, afraid that Song Yu had already chased her over.

Mother He nodded and said, "Who are you? Are you looking for our lady?"

Song Zhaodi felt a soreness in her heart. She was also a peasant girl who was born in Tagouji and grew up in Tagouji. She was the hero who recruited two sons for the Song family. Dongbao is a hard-fated tiger girl. How did she end up , Dong Bao became a "Miss" served by servants, and she became a bereaved dog who ran away in panic?
"My surname is Song, and I'm Dong Bao's cousin." Song Zhaodi said, "I...I have something to ask my aunt."

Mother He understood that Song Zhaodi was the daughter of the Song family in Tagouji, and how the Song family behaved. Mother He didn't know, and now she looked at Song Zhaodi less politely than before, and said, "Then you wait at the door first. "

At this moment, it was just dawn, Mrs. Li hadn't got up yet, Dong Bao was washing up in the backyard, Mama He went directly to the backyard to find Dong Bao, and said that there was a girl who claimed to be Dong Bao's cousin.

The comb in Dong Bao's hand fell to the ground in surprise, "What is she doing here?"

Regardless of whether to keep the child or not, given Song Zhaodi's physical condition, if there is something wrong with the Song family, it is unlikely that she will be asked to come here so early, it seems to be something else.

Song Zhaodi ran out of the house at dawn, and has not taken a breath until now when the sun came out. She was very tired. When Dong Bao came, she was sitting on the steps of the gate, leaning against the stone lion at the gate of Yan's house , Hearing the door opened behind him, he immediately stood up and looked at Dong Bao in embarrassment.

It was early autumn, and the weather was still very hot. Dongbao was wearing a white shirt with blue flowers, a blue high-waisted skirt, and a butterfly-shaped golden hairpin on her black hair. She stood at the gate, The golden sun shone on her body, her clean and fair face, her black eyebrows and eyes, made her look indescribably beautiful.

Song Zhaodi glanced at herself, her hands were rough and flaky, and the patched coat and trousers were left over from Song Yu's wear. Her hair was not combed, and she could touch a lot of grass on her head with her hand. Dumb, compared to Dong Bao, she is like a beggar on the street.
