Song Tantan was only thirteen years old after the New Year. Although Afeng and Daya were fifteen, they were often hungry, so they were shorter and much thinner than Song Tantan.
So when the three of them finished washing by the stream and changed their clothes, Ah Feng and Daya were dressed loosely, while San'er was dressed more tightly, because her breasts were quite ample, and she was also half a head taller than Song Tantan.
San'er looked quite awkward walking over in such tight clothes. Song Tantan stared at her chest for a long time, feeling a little depressed. Over the years, she had eaten well and had good nutrition, but she hadn't grown much. She was almost thirteen and still less than 1.6 meters tall, and her breasts weren't very noticeable.
It's not even a third of what San'er got. It's so frustrating. Should she eat more papaya and drink more milk later?
Song Zhuiyan's eyes were unreadable. She got up, went to the carriage, took out one of her own clothes, and handed it to San'er, saying, "Wear mine. Go change in the carriage."
Wearing such tight clothing in modern times wouldn't be a big deal, since it's a long robe and trousers made of thick, opaque material. But in ancient times, it wouldn't look good. It would give off a cheap, vulgar vibe, and people would think you were deliberately dressed like that to seduce someone.
Besides, it's not appropriate to have Ye Moxun present.
Ye Moxun leaned against the tree trunk, his eyes lowered, not looking at anyone. His expression was cold and aloof, as if he wanted to keep his distance. He had no interest in the lawsuit between the women.
After San'er washed up and changed into clean clothes, she was revealed to be a rare beauty. She had slightly upturned phoenix eyes, fair skin, and a shapely figure. Her beauty was quite aggressive. In the eyes of the ancients, this kind of appearance was considered that of a vixen, impure and disreputable.
She exudes a strong air of sophistication; even without doing anything, every movement seems to be alluring.
Tsk tsk, with looks like that, no wonder she was forced to serve customers as soon as she was sold to a brothel. But appearances can be deceiving. Although San'er looks like a woman of the night, she is not willing to do that kind of business. She is eager to escape and wants freedom. She is a girl with her own opinions and a strong will.
Song Tantan watched as Ye Moxun treated San'er's wounds, using a dagger to cut off the festering, rotting flesh from the other's arm and scraping it clean. San'er was in so much pain that his face turned pale, his whole body was trembling, and he was covered in cold sweat.
"Ah Xun, did you use anesthesia on her?" Isn't there anesthetic powder? Why didn't you use some on her?
"I forgot." Ye Moxun continued working with his hands, his tone nonchalant.
Seeing that San'er was about to faint from the pain, Song Tantan gave her some anesthetic and gave her a clean handkerchief to bite on. This girl was quite stubborn. Even though she was in so much pain that her eyes were rolling back, she stubbornly bit her lower lip with her teeth until it bled, but she didn't utter a sound of pain.
"If it hurts, just yell it out. Why hold it in?" Song Tantan softened her tone and advised her.
"Don't make a sound, you're being noisy." These words were spoken to San'er. Ye Moxun finally gave her a glance, as if it were a favor, his eyes filled with coldness and warning.
San'er was suddenly stunned by his glance, her mind went blank. She didn't hear anything, but she looked into a pair of unfathomable black eyes, the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen, and the owner of those eyes was the most beautiful person she had ever seen.
No one knows what took root in San'er's heart at that moment, something that she could not uproot no matter how hard she tried for the rest of her life, nor did she want to.
After treating San'er's wound, Ye Moxun then examined Afeng's foot. In fact, she had twisted her ankle and dislocated it, but it had not received any treatment, which was why it had become so serious. Her entire ankle was swollen like a bun, and her sole was blackish-purple.
Ye Heixun took out silver needles and drained the dead blood from her foot. Then he helped her set her dislocated ankle. He didn't give any instructions when setting bones and just started. With a crack, Ah Feng let out a long, heart-wrenching scream of pain.
The surrounding animals scattered in fright, and even Song Tantan and Song Zhuiyan were startled. The screams sounded worse than if their parents had been killed. What was A-Xun up to?
"Waaaaah..." Qiu Ping was startled awake and burst into tears.
"Don't cry, don't cry, it's okay, your brother is saving people, don't be afraid." Song Zhuiyan patted the little girl's back and coaxed her softly.
Ye Moxun gave Ah Feng a bottle of medicinal wine and said in a cold voice, "Apply it three times a day, and take it with a few doses of medicine."
"Too noisy." He looked impatient. After treating the two wounded, he got up to walk away, but stopped when he passed Daya.
"Do you have any injuries? If so, tell us now." This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Daya shrank back and said weakly, "I'm hungry, my stomach hurts." Who said she was a simpleton? This girl is shrewd.
Ye Moxun didn't care whether he was hungry or not. He turned around and walked to the carriage without looking back. He untied the rope tied to the tree and looked at Song Tantan, saying, "The sun is about to set. Let's go."
This means he's going to abandon San'er and the others. He's never liked trouble, and his face was incredibly sour after showing his injuries to someone.
Song Tantan didn't care, shrugged, and bent down to help Song Zhuiyan up. "Auntie, let's go. Qiuping, get up quickly, we need to continue our journey."
Without even saying goodbye, they just left. This left the three girls completely bewildered. Just a moment ago, they were helping them with their injuries and giving them medicine. Why did they act like they didn't know them anymore and just leave?
San'er reacted the fastest. She knelt down in front of Song Zhuiyan and Song Tantan with a pitiful expression and pleaded, "Benefactors, please take us in. We are willing to serve you like cattle and horses. Please take us with you."
Ah Feng and Da Ya also ran over and knelt down, kowtowing desperately. In no time, their foreheads were bleeding from the banging. They were determined to cling to them.
Song Tantan took a package out of the carriage and tossed it to them. "There are a dozen or so cornbread buns in here. Take them. We still have a long way to go. We're not a wealthy family. It's not worth it for us to take you in and then have to feed you."
“We can do anything. We can help with chores and farm work. Just give us a place to stay and some food so we don’t starve. We have no other choice.”
There are still people chasing after them. No one knows who is behind that brothel, but their power is astonishing. They are relentlessly pursuing the three of them, as if they will not rest until they are killed.
San'er cried with tears streaming down her face, clinging to Song Tantan's sleeve and refusing to let go. "Young hero, please have mercy and take us in. We are willing to sell ourselves into slavery and serve you for the rest of our lives. We will be loyal to you. If we ever wrong you in the slightest, may you die a horrible death, be struck by lightning, and never be reincarnated."
Song Tantan: "..." What does she need such a loyal maid for? She doesn't seem to need her much.
But since she's already made such a solemn oath, isn't it a bit much if she still won't back down?
She seems to be easily swayed; if someone plays the victim and begs, she's helpless.
