Past 8
Hearing this person's words, Sun Wuya was stunned. She never expected that this was the reason. When she went back dejectedly with the untouched vegetable pancake, her elder sister was a little confused and asked.
When Sun Wuya heard her elder sister's question, she looked at her gentle face and thought of the dirty words those people said behind her back. She could only force a smile and comfort her elder sister, saying that too many people have been making vegetable cakes recently and her craftsmanship is not good, so she can't sell them. She will think of other ways later.
When the eldest sister heard this, she thought it was nonsense, but she did not continue to question Sun Wuya. Instead, she made an excuse that she had to go out to do something and asked her to rest and sleep well at home.
Sun Wuya was lying on the bed, wanting to sleep but unable to. While she was thinking about what to do next, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open.
Sun Wuya looked out through the window and saw that it was her elder sister who had returned, but she was covering her face.
Just when Sun Wuya was thinking about whether to go out and ask, she heard faint suppressed crying sounds.
Hearing her elder sister crying, Sun Wuya immediately jumped up from the bed, dragged her shoes and went out of the house, where she saw her elder sister sitting in the corridor crying.
The eldest sister felt someone touching her head. She looked up and saw that it was Sun Wuya. She immediately wiped the tears from her face in a hurry and said, "I'm sorry, I woke you up."
"What are you talking about, big sister?!"
Thinking of what she had heard, and looking at Wu Ya standing in front of her to comfort her, the eldest sister could no longer hold back and cried out while hugging Sun Wu Ya, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault that I've dragged you down. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been subjected to so much gossip!"
Seeing her elder sister getting so stuck in her ways, Sun Wuya quickly said, "Sister, how can you say that? If it weren't for you, I'm afraid the grass on my grave would be so tall right now."
"No, I'm afraid I don't even have a grave," she was randomly abandoned somewhere in the mountains, waiting to be devoured by wolves and tigers.
The two of them cuddled together and cried for a while. When their emotions had calmed down, Sun Wuya expressed her thoughts, "Since we can't stay here any longer, let's move to another place. A tree that doesn't move dies, but a person who moves lives."
The eldest sister nodded, knowing that she couldn't stay in this place anymore.
Just where to go?
Sun Wuya leaned against a pillar nearby and began to tell her elder sister about her plan. She planned to take her elder sister south. "Sister, let's go south, stop in the next city to make some money, and then continue south."
"Let's go to Jiangnan, sister, do you know Jiangnan?"
"Misty towers, apricot blossoms in the drizzle, small bridges over the harbor..."
"Sister, you will definitely like Jiangnan." Sun Wuya has always felt that her elder sister's temperament is particularly suitable for Jiangnan since she was a child. She has picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and is extremely gentle.
The eldest sister was also moved by Sun Wuya's words. If she had not been sold to a brothel in the city, she would probably have rarely left the village in her life. Now, listening to Sun Wuya's words, she was surprised to find that she could actually go so far.
After this encouragement, the sadness on their faces disappeared, especially the eldest sister, who stood up and wanted to pack her luggage.
Sun Wuya did not stop her. After all, the longer she stayed in this city, the more depressed she would have to be. In order not to be recognized, she rarely went out after coming here, and even if she went out, she had to wear a veil.
Sun Wuya had made a plan to take her elder sister to Jiangnan, far away from here, so that she would no longer have to suffer from rumors. It would be worth it even if it took five, ten or even longer years.
Listening to Sun Wuya's plan, Li Ping'an's originally frowned brows relaxed a little. After all, what she said was so beautiful. They were not bound by worldly constraints. The two of them could go together to enjoy this beautiful land.
How great it would be if it were really as she said!
That night, there was a knock on their gate. The two of them didn't want to pay attention at first, after all, they were leaving the next day.
Even though the person outside the door kept knocking, which was annoying, the two of them had no intention of opening the door, and didn't even ask a question.
Just as the knocking on the door subsided and the two thought the person outside had left, there was a noise in the yard.
Sun Wuya and her elder sister went to the window and looked out, their eyes widened immediately. Several strong men were climbing over the wall.
Seeing a group of people like this in the middle of the night, whether they were robbing money or trying to quit sex, made people's scalps numb. Sun Wuya quickly moved to the door of the house and locked it, then picked up a bench and handed it to the eldest sister.
"It's okay, we just need to hold on until dawn." As long as the rooster crows, this group of people will be scared away.
The moonlight that night was a little dim. Sun Wuya couldn't see the faces of those people clearly, but she could hear their dirty words, "Young lady, where are you?"
"Are you cold sleeping alone? Do you want your brother to accompany you?"
As he spoke, he walked towards the room where Sun Wuya and the other person were.
Looking at several dark figures standing in front of the door, Sun Wuya was so scared that her hands holding the bench were shaking.
As if knowing that the people inside had woken up, a man outside said in a muffled voice: "Open the door quickly, or you will have to pay for the door."
Sun Wuya listened to the shameless words of the man outside and shouted, "Get out of here now, or I'll report you to the police tomorrow and make you suffer."
Hearing Sun Wuya's words, the people outside laughed out loud, "When the brothers are happy, even getting beaten is comfortable."
"To die beneath the peony flowers, even as a ghost, one can still be romantic."
Sun Wuya glossed over what happened next. The door was broken and she was tied up and thrown into the yard. Listening to the screams coming from the house, Sun Wuya was so angry that her eyes were about to bleed.
She saw that some people living nearby heard the noise and came out to take a look, but when they heard Sun Wuya's cry for help, they all shrank back.
She had never felt that dawn came so slowly.
Apart from the eldest sister's scream at the beginning, there was no movement afterwards. All that could be heard was the man's heavy breathing and disgusting words.
Sun Wuya dug her hands into the ground and clenched her teeth. She wanted to call the police. She must call the police. She wanted to kill these beasts.
At daybreak, the group came out of the house and saw Sun Wuya staring at them with bloodshot eyes. They squatted down and touched her face with their dirty hands. "She looks good, but she's a little young."
"Brothers are waiting for you to grow up."
"I want you to die, we want you to die," Sun Wuya screamed loudly, but her eyes were fixed on them. She wanted to remember the appearance of these people.
They walked away laughing as if they had heard a joke.
After a long time, an old lady finally untied her when no one was around.
After Sun Wuya thanked him with tears in her eyes, she rushed into the house.
Seeing her elder sister lying on the bed, Sun Wuya's eyes were bloodshot.
After helping her elder sister put on her clothes and a veil, Sun Wuya carried her to the yamen and complained about the evil deeds done by those people at night.
But Sun Wuya knelt at the door for a long time and her voice became hoarse. Then a yawning constable came out of the yamen and motioned Sun Wuya to lead the way.
Sun Wuya quickly carried her elder sister to her residence. The constable first looked at the damage to the door, then asked the people around about the situation, and then came to Sun Wuya and extended his hand.
Sun Wuya was stunned. The constable didn't expect Sun Wuya to be so rude. He made an impatient "tsk" sound. Sun Wuya reacted and hurriedly took out all the money on her body and handed it to him.
The constable glanced at the copper coin in his hand with disdain, then put it in his arms, "There is no villain at all. It was your sister who was careless and provoked others."
Sun Wuya didn't expect him to come to such a conclusion and was stunned on the spot.
After the constable finished speaking, he turned around and left, but after taking two steps, he turned back and said, "That's right."
The hope in Sun Wuya's eyes had not yet ignited when it was extinguished by the next sentence, "Remember to fix the door."
Sun Wuya reacted and wanted to chase after him, but she saw that the constable met a man after turning a corner. The man handed a bag to the constable. After weighing it twice, the constable left with his arm around the man's shoulder.
Sun Wuya clenched her hands so tightly that her palms bled.
However, the most urgent task now is to take care of the eldest sister first. Sun Wuya turned around and put the eldest sister on the bed, boiled some warm water, and cooked some porridge to feed her.
Seeing her elder sister's eyes rolling twice and then opening, Sun Wuya breathed a sigh of relief and asked quickly: "Elder sister, how are you? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
The eldest sister didn't say anything, but tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. Sun Wuya hurriedly wiped them away, but the more she wiped, the more tears flowed.
"Sister, I'm sorry." As the sister spoke, blood began to come out of her lips.
Sun Wuya quickly turned around, brought the warm water over, and fed it to her elder sister. "They will die. Don't worry, elder sister. I will make sure they die."
Sun Wuya could not accept others humiliating her elder sister in this way. Since the government would not do anything, she would do it herself.
The eldest sister thought she was just saying that in anger, patted her hand, and fell asleep again.
When the broken ceramic pierced the man's neck and blood splattered on Sun Wuya's face, she didn't react. It turned out that people were so easy to kill.
Watching the man covering his neck and twitching, his eyes wide open, his face full of surprise, and finally gradually losing his life, Sun Wuya felt a sense of relief in her heart. It was a pity that the other men were not left alone.
Seeing that someone seemed to be coming, Sun Wuya quickly crouched down and ran away. While running, she wanted to shout out loudly, but she could only try her best to suppress herself.
When Sun Wuya returned home, her elder sister was still sleeping. Sun Wuya took off her clothes, washed them clean overnight, and hung them in the yard.
Then, she climbed onto the bed and slept beside her elder sister. Looking at her elder sister's frown in her sleep, Sun Wuya reached out and gently smoothed it away. "Eldest sister, don't worry, those people will definitely die."
Sun Wuya slept very uneasily tonight, and the scene before the man's death kept flashing through her mind.
