In the middle of the night, Xiaohua woke up suddenly.

She seemed to hear someone calling her, and she looked around.

The moonlight outside seems to be very good, shining in through the window cracks nailed by wooden strips, and you can see clearly around the house. Liu Ye and Cuilan seemed to be asleep, and they hugged each other and curled up in the corner of the wall.

Xiaohua heard someone calling her softly again, and she followed the voice to find the window slowly.

Looking outside through the gap, I realized that it was Grandma Wang who had come.

"Grandma Wang, why are you here?"

Mrs. Wang's old face was tense, as if she was very sad and afraid of making Xiao Hua sad.

"You silly girl, I heard the wind and worried about you."

Xiaohua wanted to cry a little, but she was also afraid of making the old woman sad, so she smiled, "Mother-in-law, don't worry about me, I'm fine."

Finally, Mrs. Wang couldn't help crying, covering her mouth for fear of being heard, "You silly girl has been sold, how can it be good, but unfortunately I can't speak, I can only watch."

Xiaohua raised her head, held back the tears she was about to shed, took a deep breath, and forced a smile: "Grandmother, you look down on me too much. No matter what, I, Xiaohua, have been sold out many times, and I can't get over it. It won't last that long either."

Grandma Wang was so teased that she cried and laughed, "It's good if you can think like this. Grandma is afraid that you won't be able to hold on."

Even though Mrs. Wang couldn't see it outside, Xiaohua raised her small fist and waved it, "Mother-in-law, don't underestimate me. I am a little wild flower in the field. I can't be killed by wind or rain. It can still be opened." She blinked her eyes hard, trying to blink back the tears, "By the way, mother-in-law, how do you know we are locked here?"

Mrs. Wang wiped away her old tears, "I have stayed in this mansion for so many years. I don't know what places in this mansion are. Generally, sellers are locked in this yard. It's a pity that the mansion is heavily guarded. There are still a few doors to go through outside, or mother-in-law really wants to let you out secretly."

Xiao Hua pursed her lips, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Grandma, you are stupid, even if you let me out, I have nowhere to go, where can I live as a little girl in this world. I don't have a household registration, no identity certificate It is still in the hands of the people, and it will be even worse if it is caught as a fugitive slave."

Wang Pozi muttered to herself, "Yes, ah—"

She stuffed a small cloth bag in through the crack of the window, "You take this, there is some food and some money in it."

Xiaohua refused, "Grandma, why are you giving me money, I don't want it."

Mrs. Wang said anxiously: "You silly girl, you were sold in such a hurry, you must have no money on you. If you bring some, you can really have something to defend yourself."

Xiaohua thought about it, so she took it, pinching the small cloth bag tightly with her fingers.

"Grandma, thank you."

"Thank you, it's useless for the old lady to ask for money, but it's not much, so let me protect you." Seeing the stagnation in the atmosphere, Mrs. Wang said again: "The old lady didn't find out where you were sold. But one thing, madam probably won't sell you to pickled places, after all those two were taken in by the Fourth Young Master."

This idea coincided with Xiao Hua's. Hearing this, Xiao Hua's heart was relieved.

The two spoke a few more words before Mrs. Wang was about to leave. Before leaving, he forced a smile and said: "The old woman is afraid that you will be overwhelmed. If you have the energy you have just now, you can live anywhere."

"Grandma, take care." Xiaohua murmured.

"Little girl, take care too."

After Mrs. Wang left, Xiaohua nestled back into the corner again. She looked at Cuilan and Liu Ye on the ground, but neither of them woke up.

She opened the cloth bag, and there were two pieces of silver coins and two cakes in it. The cake is very small, only the size of a palm, and it is estimated that Granny Wang knew that the window slit was not big, so she handed it such a small one.

Tears that had been held back for a long time came out all at once.

She took a cake and stuffed it into her mouth. Chewing the cake in his mouth, tears streaming down his face.
