Uncle Ya looked suspicious.
How come he doesn't know about this?
When he and his master found Su Qiao's Father who had been bitten by a wild beast in the mountains, they had nowhere to go anyway, so they sent him back.
But that night, he died.
Uncle Ya recalled that night carefully, and the master really went out.
Later, the master was determined to stay in the team and refused to leave.
Could it be that it was because he and Miss Su were already engaged at that time?
In other words, before Su Qiao's Father passed away, he promised to take care of Miss Su?
When Uncle Ya was hesitant, Little Xiucai had already pushed him out of the house. "Cousin, it's late at night. Go back and rest quickly. My wife and I have to rest too."
Uncle Ya opened his mouth, wanting to say something, and finally sighed, turned around and left.
Little Xiucai didn't care about him at all. After he left, he quickly put down the door made of straw mats at the door, and then ran back to the corner happily.
Su Qiao spread out the hay pile and used some old clothes as a layer. He lay down outside and patted the place inside. "Hurry up and go to sleep."
Throughout the whole day, she not only had to guard against others, but also had to make up stories with him. She was also very tired.
Little Xiucai Quickly take off your shoes, crawl over and sleep obediently.
Thinking of something, he sat up again, took a quilted jacket from himself and covered Su Qiao: "Madam, I will cover you with a quilt, so you can't catch the cold anymore."
Su Qiao also picked up a robe left by his original father and covered him, "Well, go to sleep."

The next morning, Su Qiao took Zhao Jingting to the river to fetch water, washed their faces, picked branches to wipe their teeth, and combed their hair with a simple homemade wooden comb dipped in water.
When they tidied up and came back carrying water, the open space usually used for training was in chaos.
There were scoldings, cries, curses and comments.
"What's wrong?"
Su Qiao poured water into the tank used to hold water, put down the barrel and walked over.
[Something happened. When a girl went to the woods to look for wild vegetables early in the morning, she was dragged into the woods and raped. Now the girl identified it as a big man named Chu San who raped her.]
[Chu San refused to admit it at first, but later said that this woman took the initiative to seduce him, just so that he could protect her and find food for her in the future.]
Su Qiao squeezed in from the crowd and saw a girl on the ground in a mess, crying so hard that her eyes were like peaches.
The girl must be fifteen or sixteen years old at most. Although she is very thin, she is very delicate and looks like a quiet girl.
There was no one around her at this time. The expressions on the faces of the people around her were either suspicion or contempt. Occasionally, there were a few people who clearly disagreed, but they just looked at her with pity and did not say a word for her.
The girl's face was full of mourning, and her tears seemed to have burst through the dam. She pointed at a strong man in black in the crowd with tears in her eyes, trying hard to explain:
"It's really not me. I didn't. I didn't seduce him. It was him... who covered my mouth and forcibly dragged me deep into the forest."
"I really didn't sell myself for food. It really wasn't of my own free will. I..."
The girl cried uncontrollably, but it only attracted indifferent, suspicious, mocking, or unbearable looks from everyone.
A hunchbacked man with some gray hair walked over and kicked her over. "Shut up, aren't you embarrassed enough? If you don't kill yourself, why are you coming back?"
