Chapter 2: I Like You
"Little girl, you must be starving!" Lu Qingyao carried her onto the carriage and skillfully lifted up her clothes.
Jiang Miaomiao opened her little mouth reflexively and started sucking.
It smells so good...Finally I get to drink some milk.
She was too hungry and too tired.
A baby who was born less than half a day ago and had never had a sip of milk walked around the King of Hell for several times.
Who can say they are not tired?
She held the big white bowl of rice and sucked hard.
Lu Qingyao caressed the baby in her arms with tenderness in her eyes, and the joy in her eyes was rubbed into her heart.
The daughter was gone, but this little girl was found at her burial place.
Is it a gift from God?
"Miaomiao, are you back?"
Jiang Miaomiao waved her little fists, not full...
"Nannan, your name is Jiang Miaomiao, Miao means vast and boundless. From now on, you will be my daughter!" Lu Qingyao gently stroked her back.
Looking at his two sons, he said, "Feng'er, Yan'er, she will be your sister from now on. You must protect her well."
"Okay!" Jiang Zifeng responded without raising his head, holding the red bird he had just picked up.
"No, she is not my sister. My sister is dead." Jiang Ziyan turned his head away. He was already seven years old and would be eight after the New Year. He knew everything he needed to know.
The little baby smiled sweetly.
Jiang Miaomiao.
She has a name.
She has a mother...and two brothers...
Happiness comes a little suddenly.
In the following days, Jiang Miaomiao ate and slept, and slept and pooped.
Doing what a little baby should do.
The carriage kept stopping and starting, and it was unknown how far it had gone.
After recuperating for a while, I felt better.
When he was awake, he rolled his eyes, blew bubbles, and looked around.
According to observation, my mother is a kind-looking lady from a wealthy family.
The jade pendant on the ear is made of mutton-fat white jade, and the bracelet on the hand is made of excellent quality bright green jadeite.
The two brothers were also wearing the finest brocade satin.
Jiang Miaomiao secretly felt lucky that her luck was not bad and it was not bad to be a rich second generation.
But he was soon slapped in the face.
Suddenly I remembered why my mother didn’t have any maids or old women to serve her. Weren’t noble ladies in ancient times always surrounded by people when they traveled?
"Uncle Liu, how many days will it take to get to Jiangzhou?" Jiang Miaomiao pricked up her ears and listened to her mother asking the coachman.
Jiangzhou? Is your mother's family in Jiangzhou?
"Madam, please be patient. It will arrive in seven days."
Uncle Liu thought for a moment and kindly reminded her, "Madam, Jiangzhou is located in a desolate and remote area, and is infested with many unruly people and bandits. You and the young master should hide all your valuables..."
"You make sense." Lu Qingyao nodded repeatedly. "When we get to town later, please ask Uncle Liu to take the two children to buy some clothes. It doesn't matter if they are a little worn out."
A desolate and remote place! Unruly people!
Jiang Miaomiao's heart, which had just warmed up, turned cold again.
My mood fluctuates greatly and I get hungry quickly.
My mother’s milk was not enough. After sucking for a while, I couldn’t suck anymore. It was very hard, but I still didn’t feel full.
He cried a few times and then fell asleep again.
The carriage was still shaking, and she felt like she was riding in a rocking car in her mother's arms.
Sometimes I could hear birds singing and people talking, but I was in too deep a sleep to hear clearly.
"Bang..."
The carriage stopped suddenly.
Jiang Miaomiao was suddenly awakened and instinctively opened her mouth to cry, but was blocked by a finger that suddenly appeared.
Oh...it was her own finger.
Started sucking immediately.
My brother is blocking her mouth with his fingers.
"This road is built by me. If you want to pass through here, you have to leave some money for passage." A rough voice came from outside the carriage.
Jiang Miaomiao stopped sucking and looked at the curtain with her round eyes.
It's over! Did we encounter bandits?
Do we still have a chance to live?
The bandits on TV are very scary.
"Feng'er Yan'er, don't come out, protect your sister."
Her mother put her in her brother Jiang Zifeng's arms, bent down and pulled out a red tasseled spear from under the carriage, lifted the curtain, and jumped out of the carriage.
The baby's heart was pounding so hard it seemed about to jump out.
"Oh, it's a pretty girl. Brothers, you are in for a treat." The rough voice sounded again, followed by the loud laughter of several people.
“Go to hell!”
It's my mother's voice...
Before anyone could react, Lu Qingyao's red cherry spear pierced the chest of the laughing man, and blood gushed out from the tip of the spear.
Lu Qingyao took advantage of the situation to pull out the gun and stabbed at the people next to him.
It is not advisable to stay here for long, she needs to make a quick decision.
The man's smile froze on his face. He looked down at his chest, his eyes full of horror. Fear and despair spread to every part of his body.
Suddenly fell to the ground...
"Swish, swirl, clang, clang..."
It was the sound of metal colliding, the sound of someone kicking.
After a fight, there was dead silence outside the carriage, with only the sound of the wind whistling past.
The two brothers hugged their sister tightly and looked at the curtain with burning eyes.
I didn't dare to make a sound.
Jiang Miaomiao opened her mouth wide, drooling uncontrollably, and her eyes were wide open.
Suddenly, a slender white jade hand lifted the curtain, revealing an oval face.
"Mother..." the two shouted in unison.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Mother opened her arms and hugged them.
Lu Qingyao ate some steamed buns and fed Jiang Miaomiao again.
The smell of blood...
Jiang Miaomiao smelled the blood on her mother's body, and the milk tasted strange too.
She looked up at her mother with gentle eyes, and there was still blood on her face.
Her mother seems to be something special, not just an ordinary lady...
Seeing that Jiang Miaomiao didn't drink milk, Lu Qingyao stared at her with her big round eyes, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.
Look around...
She actually saw such a look in the eyes of a little baby.
I must be dazzled.
I rubbed my eyes...it was indeed my eyes that were blurry.
Miaomiao was wrapped up and placed in the arms of the two brothers, and some pillows were stuffed around them.
Stroking his son's head, he said, "Feng'er Yan'er, Uncle Liu is gone. We have to leave here as soon as possible. Mother will go drive the carriage now. You two can take care of your sister, okay?"
"Mom, we will take good care of my sister." Jiang Zifeng patted his chest and promised.
Uncle Liu is gone.
Uncle Liu, who had kindly reminded them just now, is gone...
Jiang Miaomiao felt a pang of pain in her little baby heart.
I couldn't help but burst into tears and cried until I was out of breath.
The brothers also began to sob.
"Sit down!" Lu Qingyao glanced at her son and daughter, wiped her tears, and resolutely turned around to leave.
He whipped the horse hard, "Go!"
The carriage galloped forward.
The sound of the wind, the crying of children, the crying of women...
Jiang Miaomiao was tired of crying, so she lay in her brothers' little arms, sleeping and waking up, eating when she woke up, and sleeping again.
She dreamed that she was riding a roller coaster, flying through the clouds.
When I opened my eyes again, I was in my mother's arms again.
Her brother leaned closer and took her hand, "Sister, we are home."
Arrived home?
No more bumps, no more in the carriage.
"Nannan, are you hungry?" Lu Qingyao lifted up her clothes, and Jiang Miaomiao naturally stuck to the white piece, opened her mouth and sucked, but her eyes looked around.
Outside the house, there are the sounds of insects chirping and birds singing.
Inside the house, there were bare walls, broken windows... and a hole in the roof.
Looking out from the cave, there is a blue sky.
In an instant, the milk in Jiang Miaomiao's mouth no longer tasted fragrant.
Is this... their new home?
If it rains, they will have nowhere to stay, right?
Her heart sank to the bottom again.
"Miaomiao, don't you like it here?" Lu Qingyao frowned slightly as she looked at her daughter who was obviously hungry but not in a hurry to eat.
Jiang Miaomiao sighed softly, if she likes it, then damn it...
