Chapter 2. Plans Can't Keep Up with Changes
At the beginning of Youshi.
The sun hangs in the west, turning the sky and the earth into a hazy color, and the air is at just the right temperature, making people feel happy.
Liu Yaoyao was cooking in the kitchen, and when she raised her hands to wipe her sweat, she saw Tian Jiang ushering in two people.
Tian Jiang is Liu Yaoyao's nominal father now.
An inverted triangle face, a broad forehead, and a pointed chin. Liu Yaoyao had seen this face shape in a psychology book...
"Is this your little one?"
The one who spoke was the leader of the two. Although he was wearing a brocade robe, the style was regular and simple, as were all the accessories. He looked like a steward of a wealthy family.
The other one who fell behind him was dressed like a commoner, with his back hunched and his head drooped, moving in small steps, looking like he had been enslaved all year round.
"Yes, Manager Wei."
Tian Jiang nodded and pointed at Liu Yaoyao in the kitchen:
"My little girl is eight years old this year. She has nimble hands and feet and is honest. Can you see her?"
To say that Tian Jiang is a bitch is to praise him.
Liu Yaoyao only glanced at him with a frown, and spent the rest of her mind eavesdropping on their conversation.
Taking out the steamed vegetables from the pot, Liu Yaoyao lowered her eyes with gloominess.
Her plan was disrupted...
In that compartment, Manager Wei squinted at Liu Yaoyao, looked her up and down carefully, and said meaningfully:
"Brother Tian, your girl's appearance is quite good, but she is a little thin and rough."
Tian Jiang rubbed his hands and smiled flatteringly:
"Oh, my girl is restless. Although she is rough, she is smart and capable..."
While Liu Yaoyao was cooking, she listened to her now nominally cheap father trying to add value to her, and she couldn't help but sneer at the corner of her mouth.
Following them into the house, Liu Yaoyao slowly prepared the meal while listening to Mrs. Tian's pretentious voice urging her to drink.
It was carried on a tray and carried back and forth several times into the main room.
During this period, Manager Wei showed appropriate shrinking and fear in his eyes as he looked at the objects.
When she entered the kitchen and closed the door, Liu Yaoyao's face dropped as if she were a different person.
She is only eight years old now.
She originally wanted to strengthen her body and make a living on her own.
But now, there is no such time.
After observing for a while, Liu Yaoyao escaped directly through the large open rear window.
Dawang Village is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and the Tian family is right next to the green forest slope at the foot of the West Mountain. Although there are people in front and behind, who said Liu Yaoyao has a golden finger!
I climbed over the loess wall effortlessly, put on a ghillie suit when I landed, and rolled and climbed all the way into Qingniu Mountain.
When Liu Yaoyao was huddled in a mountain col wearing a ghillie suit and a gas mask, she looked at her watch and let out a sigh of relief.
23 minutes, even if I were to look for her, I wouldn't be able to find her in this mountain for a while!
Liu Yaoyao waited for her breathing to calm down, took out some water and took a few sips before continuing to move forward while wearing the ghillie suit.
…
At this time, at the foot of the mountain, Tian Jiang and others had already discovered that Liu Yaoyao was missing.
But they didn't expect Liu Yaoyao to escape.
Tian Shi pretended to be angry, but did not dare to say anything too unpleasant.
Tian Jiang was holding a wine jar and pouring wine for Manager Wei with a flattering smile:
"You have a few more drinks, and when that girl comes back, I'll ask her to apologize to you."
Manager Wei looked at the wine in the coarse porcelain bowl and smiled:
"If she really falls in love with that person, I can't afford to apologize."
As Manager Wei spoke, he picked up the bland wine and drank it again.
Tian Jiang on the side could not help but think about such a future.
…
Qingniu Mountain.
Dim yellow light shines from among the forest leaves.
Birds were chirping and insects were chirping, and occasionally a pheasant flew past with fluttering wings.
The little squirrel was holding pine cones on the tree trunk and eating them sillyly, and the little rabbit made a "swishing" sound when it walked through the grass.
Liu Yaoyao didn't dare to go deep.
Only at the foot of the mountain, not far from the mountainside.
Although she had learned Kung Fu in her previous life, she was only a half-grown child in this life, and her body was in a state of long-term malnutrition.
She wanted to escape, not die.
There are all kinds of dangers in this unexplored mountain.
Even at this height, she dared not relax at all.
Liu Yaoyao calculated the distance as she hurried on...
The dim sunset above her head gradually gave way to twilight, and Liu Yaoyao looked a little more embarrassed.
The air is much more refreshing.
Liu Yaoyao looked down at her watch and let out a long sigh.
"Seven thirty."
From the perspective of future generations, seven-thirty is the nightlife that is about to begin, or it may be that people are getting ready to get off work.
But in this day and age, it’s not like we can still weave a bamboo basket at half past seven in the dark night.
Maybe you can use the firelight in the stove to paste a few layers of shoe soles.
As for Liu Yaoyao, she had to help the Tian family boil water to wash their feet and coax the Tian family's youngest son to sleep.
Liu Yaoyao still couldn't believe it when she thought of being separated from this hard life!
"I'm sorry, Xiaojuanjuan, I can only wait to see you again later."
While talking, Liu Yaoyao sprinkled some anthelmintic medicine on her body.
The full name of Xiao Juanjuan in Liu Yaoyao's mouth is Du Juan. She is one of the few good friends of the original owner and Liu Yaoyao's child.
The incident happened suddenly, and she hadn't even said goodbye to her little friend yet.
Just when Liu Yaoyao was thinking this, she suddenly heard the pig's cry of "Hmph!" and immediately stuck it in the grass, holding the electric baton in her hand and not daring to move.
Liu Yaoyao has seen wild boars and knows how destructive they can be.
Thinking of those white fangs, Liu Yaoyao subconsciously tightened the gas mask on her face...
…………
Just when Liu Yaoyao was trying to think of a way not to collide head-on with the wild boar.
The Tian family in Dawang Village has become chaotic.
Manager Wei, who was already slightly tipsy, had a dark face and was supported by a servant as he staggered onto the carriage tied to the door.
Mr. Tian was surrounded by the villagers of Dawang Village, screaming, cursing, and full of obscenities.
Tian Jiang's face turned red and he smelled of alcohol.
With both ruthlessness and hatred in his eyes, he held a torch in his hand and led people in the village who were willing to help him around to look for him.
"Little bitch, she is indeed a little bitch, she has no conscience! I raised her to this age, and she does this to us!"
Du Juan was led by her mother to watch the excitement in the crowd. Her little brows knitted into knots after listening to Tian's words:
"She bullied Xiao Yao'er and was not good to Xiao Yao'er at all."
Mrs. Du hurriedly covered Du Juan's mouth and glared intimidatingly.
Du Juan pouted unconvinced, but said nothing more.
But Du Juan didn't say anything, but someone said:
"Juan'er is right. We all know what she does to Xiaoyao. We can hear her spitting shit."
The speaker was the woman who had been chatting with Liu Yaoyao under the tree earlier. She looked at Tian who was broken down by jealousy and anger and thought deeply:
"I'm afraid Wang Linghua is right. This thieving couple really wants to sell Xiaoyao."
The woman’s eyes are complicated:
"I don't know if Xiao Yao really ran away or they were just acting here. Hey... I hope he ran away."
If it is sold, where can it be sold to a good place?
Du Juan's heart tightened when she heard this, and her face turned pale.
Mrs. Du saw her and took her home directly. Along the way, she was scolded by Tian Jiang and his wife.
Liu Yaoyao guessed all this even though she didn't see it.
