C1 Mysterious Courtyard

In the area of the west side of the city, there were countless ragged refugees that had been surrounding them since early in the morning.

As soon as a carriage stopped, or a well-groomed servant woman arrived, all of them surrounded her with excitement. They all shouted, "Madam, please look for me. I have great strength. Madame, if you want me, I have good eyes and can sew them up. "

Mao Yuxi stood at the back of the crowd, watching this scene with some worry in her heart. However, her mind was still thinking about how to find a vulgar job.

It had been almost three days since she transmigrated. Other than the thin body of a thirteen year old who was currently stunted, there were also six brothers and sisters who were scrap picking outside. and... Three sickly old men who took them in.

Among the siblings in the family, the oldest was only twelve years old. As for her, due to her age of thirteen, she barely managed to act like a big sister among the group of children.

Just as she was thinking, another carriage stopped by.

The woman who got out of the car had a cold look in her eyes. She had a long face and frowned as she glared at the group of people who took the initiative to surround them. Finally, his gaze stopped at some young girls.

Mao Yuxi, who was still deep in thought on how to survive, was also being scrutinized by Nie Tian.

"How old are you?" At this moment, a similarly frail girl in front of Mao Yuxi was asked how old she was.

The little girl's face was slightly red. "Ten …" Thirteen years old. "

"Too small." The old woman grumbled in displeasure. His gaze once again returned to her body.

Mao Yuxi hurriedly straightened her waist. " This grandma … I, I am fourteen years old. " Because the girl from before was considered to be young, she decided to say that she was older.

The woman looked around her once more. In the end, she didn't seem to be satisfied. She pointed at her and said, "Come with me."

"Yes, yes."

The carriage did not leave the city, but headed for the city.

"After stopping at a seemingly unremarkable house, the woman shot a cold glance at her." Have you remembered what I said earlier? "

Mao Yuxi quickly revealed a timid smile. "Reporting to grandma, I've remembered it."

"Yes, as long as you finish all these tasks, grandma will give you a few taels of silver as a reward." The old woman forced out a smile. However, even this smile revealed a hint of chilliness.

He had done it several times already. Mao Yuxi, who had been poor for three days without a proper meal, found these words tempting.

"Yes, grandma. I will definitely do my best."

As a precaution, she gave him her name, which was also a temporary name.

He kept having the feeling that this old woman wasn't a kind person.

"Your job is to sweep through everything in this yard and the cleanliness of the rooms. "Well, you go take a bath and eat something to work."

This woman was rather considerate, knowing that she was panicking due to her hunger.

Mao Yuxi grilled herself clean after eating her meal.

The clothes were also the coarse clothes that the old woman had found. This was much better than what she had! Therefore, his heart began to have a better impression of this woman's donkey face.

It was not too troublesome to only do the chores.

However, when she was about to sweep the room in the middle, the old woman maliciously glared at her and scolded her to leave.

"I can only clean this room at night if I ask you to." As the woman spoke, she revealed an unfathomable smile, causing Mao Yuxi's entire body to turn cold.

"Cough, cough …" A weak cough came from the house. The doors and windows seemed to have been tightly sealed. Mao Yuxi was filled with doubts. Who could it be in this room? Why did they cover up the doors and windows? Besides, from the looks of it, this should also be the courtyard of a rich family, right? However, there were very few people, so many rooms were empty. Forget it, I've been warned not to enter.

It was night, and Mao Yuxi was dozing against the door frame after a meal when she suddenly felt someone lift her chin.

She opened her eyes wide in fright, facing those sinister old eyes. All of her sleepiness had awoken.

The old woman who had brought her in was currently hugging her chin tightly with her left hand. Her wrinkled face was constantly approaching her, and she was currently squinting her eyes as she carefully sized her up. Since the distance was too close, even the pores on the old man's body could be seen clearly. She looked at her with cold eyes and shook her head.

"It's really ugly! But I like it! " As he spoke, the corrosive aura unique to old people assaulted him.

Mao Yuxi was so frightened that she retreated backwards, trying to get out of this predicament. "grandma, I …"

The old woman seemed to be able to see the fear in her heart. She slowly loosened her jaw and said, "Remember, don't ask about things that shouldn't be asked. You have to accomplish what master said."

"Yes …" "Yes …" Mao Yuxi nodded vigorously. They didn't even know what this person was instructing them to do. After that, he had a fragrant wood bowl stuffed into his hands, and the woman forced an ugly smile, "Go in." "If you serve me with all your heart, I will reward you when the matter is done." As she spoke, she grinned and let out a laugh. That rotten smell of hers rushed over once again, almost causing Mao Yuxi to faint from the choking.

"Good …" "Okay …"

Only after her wife had drifted away did she realize that she still had to go to the mysterious room that she was not allowed to enter during the day to do that job.

Trembling, she pushed open the middle door. She had been curious about what appeared to be the master bedroom during the day. At this moment, he didn't know what he had to face.

"Cough, cough …"

A deafening cough mixed with a faint medicinal fragrance and a sandalwood fragrance mixed in.

Mao Yuxi shook her head, her thoughts were somewhat clear under the stimulation of the complex fragrance. He forced himself to open his eyes and saw a huge bed covered in red sheets and hanging from both sides of the bed.

On the bed, a reserved man wearing plain white undergarments was covering his chest and coughing loudly. Every time he coughed, his black hair that was like a waterfall would shake violently.

"Scram …"

Before she could move forward, the man threw a vase at her. Unfortunately, he didn't use enough strength, so he only threw it in front of Mao Yuxi. Even if it was just a roll, but it came out from the man's mouth, it was still as pleasant to listen to as heaven's music.

When the man raised his head, he saw a sickly man with an abnormal blush from coughing, glaring at him with eyes as red as a rabbit's. There was a layer of moisture in his eyes, making him look like a hazy veil. What an exceptional person, Mao Yuxi was once again stunned by the man's outer appearance.

The man on the bed was about twenty-eight years old. Even if she was sick, she could only be described as a dragon and a phoenix. Especially those beautiful peach blossom eyes, bright as the stars.

"Are you sick? Do you want some water?" Mao Yuxi was so handsome that she forgot about the disdain others had for her.

A trace of disgust flashed through the man's eyes. He could only cover his chest and cough continuously.

Mao Yuxi took a deep breath and suddenly stopped.

Puzzled, she looked at the sandalwood in the mouth of the Dual Crane Dragon not far away. Taking a deep breath, she shook her head. No, this aroma was wrong.

He took another two steps forward and his eyes lit up.

After taking a few steps forward, she moved closer to the young man's chest …
