Chapter 182: Su Ying (Part 1)

"Tweeted!"
Su Ying heard the familiar cry and couldn't help but smile, "Wait for a long time, there is a lot of family affairs, I have time to come over now. What do you think I brought? Two loquats, this is what four My mother’s loquats are so sweet, I secretly hid two and brought them to you."
She put down the back basket she was carrying, took out two yellow loquats from inside, and then sent them to the bushes in front of them.
There was another chirp from the dense trees, and then a few red feathers appeared. Su Ying saw the red feather and stretched out her finger to touch it. Then she put the loquat into the bush, got up and took the hatchet to cut wood around.
A pair of small black eyes appeared in the bushes, staring at Su Ying closely. The two loquats that Su Ying had sent over were just under a furry head.
Su Ying chopped the firewood for a while and started talking, "Little bird, I may not be able to come often in the future...My family, my brother owes a lot of money in the gambling house, and my parents said that they would sell me to a big family. Be a maid."
She cut the wood intensively and said softly: "Fortunately, your injury is almost healed. You must be careful when you are on this mountain in the future."
Before Su Ying finished cutting the firewood and preparing to go down the mountain, she came to the bush again and talked for a while, and then she went back down the mountain step by step.
When she left, the tweeting bird in the bush came out. The bird is very small and can fit with one palm, but it is very beautiful. Its feathers are red, the hair on the top of the head is orange-yellow, and the tail feathers that are longer than the body are getting deeper and deeper red.
The bird had a pair of dark eyes, looking at the direction Su Ying had left for a long time, then he returned to the bushes and pushed out a billowing loquat. When he pushed the loquat, he showed paws that were different from ordinary birds. He had three claws, one more than ordinary birds.
Su Ying went down the mountain and saw two aunts from the village talking at the door of the house. One said, "Poor girl, sensible and obedient, a hundred times better than her brother. Why are the Su family's eccentrics? ."
The other said: "No, I really want to marry. The days after that..."
Seeing Su Ying coming over, the two stopped talking, and the aunt carrying a basket of beans said to her: "Ying, you go home quickly, the yellow matchmaker is at your house."
Su Ying was taken aback, nodded to the two aunts, and hurried back to the village's home with chai behind her back.
She walked into the courtyard and heard someone talking in the hall, the voice of her parents, and a woman with a high-pitched voice. Su Ying knew that it was Huang Matchmaker, and her reputation was not very good. As long as she had money or wickedness, she would match up.
At this moment, the voice was screaming: "Oh, your daughter, she doesn't look very good. She is a village girl who can marry to Xu's house in the city. That is because her ancestor burned high incense. If the third young master of the other family had not suddenly become ill and urged someone to be happy, it would not be your girl's turn."
"Yes, yes, Aunt Huang, thanks to you for this. When the matter is done, we will thank you again and give you a generous thank you match."
"If there is anything that can't be achieved, since you have agreed, then this matter will be covered by me, and you will be able to reply tomorrow, so be prepared to marry your daughter."
"Oh oh oh, thank you Aunt Huang, thank you very much!"
Su Ying stood in the yard with the firewood on her shoulder falling to the ground. The day before yesterday, my parents told her that the eldest brother owed a debt outside and was beaten. If he didn't have his leg cut off, there was no money in the family, and he wanted to sell her to a big family as a maid. Su Ying was unwilling, but she had nothing to do. She still thought in her heart that maybe it would be better to be a maid at a big family than at home, so she acquiesced.
But today, how did it suddenly change? Her parents want to marry her to the third young master of the Xu family in the city?
Who is the third young master of the Xu family? Ten miles and eight townships all know that the man was a lunatic. If he married a few wives, he forced a few to death. The pregnant wife was killed if he said that he was killed because his family had something to do with the county grandfather, and no one dared to sue him. For him, those who had their daughters died took the pension money.
His reputation has long been bad, and now, let alone the same big family, even the most serious people are unwilling to marry his daughter. Su Ying didn't expect that her parents could be so cruel. Didn't they know that asking her to marry Young Master Xu San meant to send her to death?
Su Ying gritted her teeth and rushed into the main room. She stood at the door and saw an uncomfortable look on her parents' faces for a moment. Then her father quickly said with a grimace, "What are you doing? It’s so late, don’t hurry to cook! Useless girl!"
Su Ying almost dripped blood in her heart. Why, just because she is a daughter? Because she is a daughter, her elder brother can do nothing since she was a child, but she has to work at home, go to work in the fields, and have endless things to do every day. Even so, she can’t get a parent. Good face.
Since she remembered, her parents always loved her elder brother in every way, and to her, apart from reprimanding her, it seemed that everything she did was wrong. If you hate her so much, why give birth to her?
Su Ying choked and shouted: "Father, mother, I don't want to marry Young Master Xu San."
"Crap! Don't marry or marry and stay at home to lose money! No matter where it's your turn, you don't marry! The reservations are all booked, you just wait for me to marry." Su Ying's father stood up cursingly.
Su Ying burst into tears, "I am your child too! Why are you doing this to me!"
"You still know that you are our child, then we are parents and let you marry, what are you still crying about here, which girl's marriage is not decided by your parents." Su Ying said her mother.
Su Ying stood there and shook her head firmly, "I will not marry."
Su Ying's father glanced awkwardly at the Huang matchmaker next to him, who had a bad face, and took the broom in the corner of the house and drew it at Su Ying: "Let you not marry! What's the use of having you! If you don't marry me, you will kill me. you!"
Su Ying held her head and stopped talking. She has given up her heart. In her parents' heart, she is probably no different from a dog in the family. At this moment, she even hoped to just be beaten to death so that she would never have to face such a pair of parents again.
"Oh oh oh oh, I said the Su family father, if you break the girl like this, the Xu family doesn't want it, the third young master is in a hurry. Maybe he will be married in two days. The bride is wounded, like something~" Huang Matchmaker said unhappily.
Su Ying's mother took Huang Matchmaker's good words and laughed for a while, then she pulled her own man, "It's OK, what if it breaks!"
The broom was heavily thrown at her feet, and Su Ying closed her eyes.
In the dimly lit room, Su Ying sat on the edge of the bed in a daze. Suddenly she heard a clear chirp. Looking up suddenly, Su Ying saw a beautiful red bird standing by the narrow window.
"It's you? Can you fly?" The despair on Su Ying's face was covered by a layer of surprise. She grabbed her belly and got up, limped to the window, looked up at the bird, her voice was very gentle "How did you find it?"
She turned to look around and sighed, "I have nothing to eat here, and I can't go out. I will give you nothing to eat."
"I'm going to marry tomorrow. From now on, I may really not see it." Su Ying reached out to the bird with a dazed expression, "If I can, I really hope I can be buried on that mountain after I die. , I will always be with you."
The bird suddenly waved its wings and lightly landed on Su Ying's finger. Su Ying trembled in her hand, she held the bird in front of her to take a closer look, and suddenly smiled, with tears in her eyes, "You are so beautiful, more beautiful than when I first saw you."
She saw this bird for the first time almost half a year ago, in the winter, and snow covered the entire mountain forest. She saw this bird half buried by snow in the snow in the mountains. The gorgeous red feathers were like blood in the snow, making Su Ying's heart trembled for no reason, and her mind went blank. When she woke up, she had already rescued the bird.
After she rescued the frozen bird, she raised a fire nearby and put the bird in her clothes to warm it. When the bird woke up, Su Ying realized that the bird was still injured.
After that, she would often go up the mountain to look at the bird and bring it some food. This bird will always stay in that fixed place. Many times, Su Ying will have the illusion that this bird can understand her words, so gradually, she starts to get used to what she thinks in her mind when she encounters it. Tell this bird all.
It is like a secret to her.
The bird's red feathers seemed to glow in the dimly lit room. Su Ying rubbed his feathers with her thumb, "You know I'm leaving, so the one who came to send me off, right?"
"Tweet." The bird crowed softly.
Su Ying stood holding the bird for a long time. When the sky got dark, she put the bird in her hand on the window, "Okay, you go back, be careful not to be caught."
The bird tilted its head and flew away.
"Goodbye, I will miss you." Su Ying beckoned to the night.
The next day, Su Ying hurriedly put on her wedding gown, was sent into the sedan chair, and carried to the Xu family in the city. Before she left, she saw that there were only two red paper lanterns at the door of her house. She didn't prepare anything, it didn't look like marrying a daughter. Her parents were married, and her face was beaming with no trace of sadness.
Just pay them back, Su Ying thought. She felt like she had become a corpse, listening to the people next to her let her get off the sedan chair, pay her respects, and hurried away.
In the process, Su Ying heard many people around her whispering. They talked about her in pitiful sympathy, or in a malicious tone-"Maybe it will become a corpse tomorrow morning." "It's just a gadget bought with a few taels of silver. Is it true that she is what she is? Grandma?" "Although the third young master is very sick, she is even more crazy. Look at it, she is guilty and suffer." "It's so pitiful..."
Su Ying covered her head and walked in a strange place, her eyes were red, and someone behind her was pushing her forward. Then, she was sent to the wedding room.
There was a man in the same rushed room. Su Ying felt that the man raised her hand and pulled her hijab away, and then she caught a pale face unexpectedly.
"It's okay." The man's eyes were sticky, and he gasped as he spoke. He was lying on the bed, obviously sick.
Su Ying's face was pinched by him, and then she was pushed to the ground.
"Go and bring me the candle, then kneel on the ground and take off my clothes." The man on the bed said with a grin.
Su Ying stood up from the ground and did not move. The man got angry and hit Su Ying on whatever he touched from the bed. Then he stood up, panting and struggling to stand up, approaching Su Ying with a fierce face, "Why, can't you hear my command from Master? Ah! "
Su Ying showed a look of panic and stepped back. As the man got closer and closer, Su Ying kept stepping back, and suddenly she felt something in her hand.
"Do you dare to run?" The man rushed over, and Su Ying closed his eyes and grabbed the contents in his hands and waved forward.
With a bang, the man fell, he fell on the ground and twitched twice, staring at Su Ying. Su Ying held the vase and sat staggered on the ground. After a while, she recovered, crawled to the silent man, and tried his snort.
"Ah!" Su Ying exclaimed shortly, and drew back.
He died, was beaten to death by her!
The happy candle in the room burst out with two lanterns. When Su Ying looked at the corpse on the ground in despair, she suddenly heard the sound of a familiar bird.
The red bird was standing on the table, looking at her condescendingly. Su Ying looked at the bird silly, a little dazed.
"Why are you here? You..." Su Ying's voice suddenly choked in her throat, and she covered her mouth, her eyes widening.
