The steward felt a chill run down his spine when he was looked at, and he flattered the Third Master Yan, "It's just a personal indenture. If you want it, just take it away."
"How much silver!" Song Yuehua said, "Give them as much as they should, but remember one thing, from now on they have nothing to do with this place anymore."
"10 taels!" Bai Shu said, "10 taels for two people."
Song Yuehua asked, "Is that so?"
"Not less, not less!" said the manager hurriedly.
Song Yuehua took out 10 taels of silver and exchanged it for the indenture in the manager's hand.
This was the first time Song Yuehua had done such a thing. She asked Yan Fengjian again, "Can we go directly to the government office to cancel this indenture and restore our status as a good person?"
Yan Feng nodded upon seeing this.
Bai Shu hurriedly said, "Sister Song, don't sell it! Please, don't sell it."
"Master..." Liu Xue opened her eyes with great effort, her voice as soft as a mosquito.
Song Yuehua could probably guess what the brother and sister were thinking. Instead of being restricted by family ties, it would be better to use shackles to protect themselves.
Yan Fengjian turned to Song Yuehua and asked, "You also accepted a disciple?"
Song Yuehua nodded and asked Yan Fengjian, "Can it be transferred to my name?"
"Can."
Yan Feng saw that Da Mao had finished speaking, and continued, "Next time you come, bring your household registration book with you, and I will ask the people from the government office to transfer it for you."
Song Yuehua folded up the indenture and handed it to Bai Shu, saying, "Come over with Master Duan tomorrow and transfer it to my name first."
Bai Shu took the bond with trembling hands and murmured hoarsely, "Thank you, Sister Song..."
Song Yuehua asked Damao to pass a message to Hou Wu, telling him that the person had been found and to stop looking for him.
Several people came to the clinic again. Bai Shu was just hungry for a few meals and was frightened, but had no external injuries.
The one who was most seriously injured was Liu Xue.
When the old doctor saw the few people, he immediately called his wife.
After treating Liu Xue's injuries, he examined Bai Shu again and prescribed medicine for both the siblings, one for Liu Xue to treat her injuries and one for Bai Shu to calm her nerves.
When Song Yuehua was paying the bill, the old doctor sighed and said, "It's not easy for you either!"
In response, Song Yuehua hummed with a slightly nasal tone.
When the three of them were about to go back, it was already dark, so Damao specially arranged for a coachman to take them home.
Song Yuehua lay straight in the middle of the carriage.
Just as the carriage was about to leave, Yan Feng saw the curtain being lifted and asked, "What's your name?"
"Song Yuehua."
Yan Feng nodded and said, "Song Yuehua, I will come to compete with you another day."
"Okay." Song Yuehua responded.
There were occasional bumps and shakes along the way.
After a long time, Liu Xue said weakly, "Master, I'm sorry..."
Song Yuehua was not angry, nor did she feel that Liu Xue had treated her unfairly. She just wanted to have a place to live, just like herself and Xiaoyu did in the past.
If it weren't for Grandpa Zhou's fairness and strictness, Song Yuehua's situation wouldn't be much better than Liu Xue's!
"I never blamed you." Song Yuehua said.
Now think about it, why would an eleven-year-old girl work so hard to learn archery and practice to a level that even Song Yuehua admires.
There were 11 taels of silver in the box, and she took 5 taels. She just wanted to live.
Bai Shu huddled in the corner of the carriage, sobbing softly, and then he burst into tears uncontrollably, his whole body shaking.
Liu Xue closed her eyes and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
Duan Yidao outside stuck his head in and looked at Song Yuehua.
"It's okay, let him cry." Song Yuehua said.
It’s okay to cry. After so many days of humiliation, it’s good to vent.
Duan Yidao and the groom, who were sitting outside, looked at each other and said nothing more.
After returning home, Xiaoyu and Xiaoyu were still asleep. Song Yuehua drove them to another room, carried Liu Xue to the stove, and was about to leave.
"Master, don't go..." Liu Xue's voice was very soft, like she was talking in a dream.
Song Yuehua simply lay down beside her, patted her hands, and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I will always be here."
Two days passed before Liu Xue woke up.
"Sister!"
As soon as Liu Xue opened her eyes, Bai Shu quickly ran to the next room and called out, "Sister Song, Sister is awake! Sister Song..."
Song Yuehua came over from another room, touched her forehead, and asked, "How do you feel?"
Liu Xue nodded.
As long as she doesn't have a fever, Grandma Wang asked Bai Shu to look after the two Baos, and then brought a bowl of rice porridge and fed it to Liu Xue.
After drinking the porridge, he went to boil medicine for the two of them.
Song Yuehua said, "I've already changed the medicine on your back this morning. It should scab over in a few days. Don't take a shower recently. After you drink the medicine, lie down for a few more days."
"Master..." Liu Xue opened her mouth, her voice very hoarse.
Song Yuehua did not interrupt, but sat aside and listened quietly.
Liu Xue's tears fell quietly, and she whispered, "I thought I could be like you."
Song Yuehua knew what Liu Xue was referring to. She left that cannibalistic home, lived alone with her younger siblings, went hunting in the mountains, supported her family, and lived her own life without having to worry about others.
If it was Song Daya, it definitely wouldn't work. If it was 11-year-old Song Yuehua, it wouldn't work either. It's normal that Liu Xue can't do it.
"I overestimated myself and others. I thought my grandparents' house was a den of wolves, but unexpectedly, my uncle's house was also a den of tigers. Master, what should I do?"
Song Yuehua said anxiously, "I just spent 10 taels of silver, you are not planning to run away, are you?"
Silence.
Liu Xue burst into laughter and said, "I won't run away. I will be Master's man for the rest of my life."
"Life is long, and no one knows what will happen in the future," Song Yuehua sighed, "If you don't want to leave, just stay here. The house is big enough, and you won't make a difference."
