The orphan girl was sold, and when she saw something strange in the pit in the courtyard, she quietly picked up a broom
In a remote mountain village, there lives an orphan girl named Xiaocui. Her parents died young, and her family was destitute, and she could only rely on the help of her fellow villagers to barely make ends meet. However, fate doesn't seem to favor little Tsui more. On this day, the landlord of the village, Mr. Li, came to the door and wanted to buy Xiaocui at a very low price and let her go to the house to be a maid. Xiaocui knew that this time, I was afraid that it would be difficult to get ahead, but in the face of the pressure of life, she had to tearfully agree.
Master Li's mansion is located in the deepest part of the village, and within the tall courtyard walls, there is always an indescribable eerie atmosphere. Xiao Cui was brought into the mansion, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy in her heart. She looked around cautiously, only to see the pavilions and pavilions in the mansion, carved beams and paintings, but there was an eerie atmosphere. The maids in the house also had solemn faces, as if they were hiding some secrets.
Cui was placed in a remote hut. Her job is simple, she is responsible for cleaning the courtyard of the mansion. Every morning, when the first rays of sunlight shine into the yard, Xiaocui will pick up a broom and start the day's work. She noticed that there was an inconspicuous dirt pit in the middle of the courtyard, and something seemed to be buried in it, but every time she tried to get closer to take a closer look, she was stopped by an inexplicable sense of fear.
On this day, Xiaocui cleaned the courtyard as usual. Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and she couldn't help but shiver. Just then, she noticed what seemed to be moving by the edge of the pit. She cautiously approached to see a pale hand sticking out of the soil! Xiao Cui was so frightened that she hurriedly took a few steps back, and the broom in her hand fell to the ground.
She steadied herself and mustered up the courage to approach the pit again. This time, she could see more clearly, it was indeed a human hand, and it looked like it had been buried for a long time. A strong curiosity swelled up in Xiaocui's heart, and she decided to find out what secrets were hidden in this dirt pit.
She quietly picked up the broom and dug up the dirt lightly. As the soil gradually loosened, a disgusting stench came to my nose. Xiao Cui endured the discomfort and continued to dig. Finally, when the sunlight shone into the pit, she saw a shocking scene - the bones of a human were buried in the pit!
Xiao Cui was trembling with fright, she couldn't believe her eyes. At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and she hurriedly restored the broom and dirt to its original state, and continued to clean as if nothing had happened. She knew in her heart that there must be some ulterior secret hidden in this mansion, and she was afraid that she had been involved in it.
In the following days, Xiao Cui paid more attention to every move in the house. She found that in the dead of night, there were always some strange sounds coming from the house, as if someone was whispering. She also noticed that Master Li's eyes were always gloomy, as if he was hiding something.
That night, Xiaocui took advantage of the night and quietly came to the edge of the pit. She decided to dig again, to find out the identity of the skeleton and the cause of its death. She picked up her broom and dug it carefully. This time, she dug deeper and finally found a wooden plaque next to the bones. There are some faint handwriting carved on the wooden plaque, but it is difficult to read due to its age.
Xiao Cui's heart moved, and she decided to go to the old people in the village to help identify the handwriting. The next day, she took the opportunity to go out to buy and found an old talent in the village. After carefully identifying it, Lao Xiucai told Xiaocui that the wooden plaque was engraved with the words "The daughter of the Li family, who died unjustly here".
Xiao Cui was shocked when she heard this, she realized that this skeleton was probably the daughter of Master Li, and this unjust case was likely to be related to Master Li. She decides to uncover the secret and seek justice for the daughter of the Li family, who died unjustly.
In the following days, Xiao Cui began to secretly investigate Master Li's past. She found out that many years ago, Master Li had a beloved daughter, but for some reason she suddenly disappeared, and no one has seen her since. Xiaocui also learned from some old people that after Master Li's daughter disappeared, some strange things began to appear in the mansion, but everyone dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.
Xiaocui already had the answer in her heart, and she decided to find evidence and make Master Li's crime public. However, she also knows that the road is full of dangers and unknowns. But she is ready, no matter how many hardships and dangers lie ahead, she will seek justice for the daughter of the Li family.
Xiao Cui's heart was full of determination and courage, and she decided to use her identity in the mansion to secretly collect evidence. She carefully observed Master Li's every move, paying attention to the words and deeds of everyone in the mansion. She found that Master Li's study was always locked with a thick ledger, which seemed to hide some ulterior secrets.
In order to get closer to the ledger, Xiao Cui began to work hard to express herself, hoping to gain the trust of Master Li. She wakes up early every day and works late to clean the yard spotlessly. She also took the initiative to help other maids do things, which won everyone's favor. Gradually, Master Li also began to look at her with admiration, and occasionally let her enter the study to help organize the books.
Finally one day, Xiaocui found an opportunity. She took advantage of Master Li's outings and quietly sneaked into the study. Her heart was racing, her palms were sweaty, and she carefully opened the locked ledger. There is also a record in the ledger that mentions that Master Li's daughter tried to escape because she was dissatisfied with what he had done, but he brutally killed her and buried her body in the backyard.
Xiao Cui's eyes were dark, and she almost fainted. Holding back her grief and anger, she wrote down the contents of the ledger one by one. Then, she quickly restored the ledger to its original state and quietly left the study.
She knew that she had mastered Master Li's crimes, and the next thing was how to make these evidences public. Xiaocui began to plan how to escape the mansion and bring the evidence to the county office. She decided to take advantage of a shopping trip and escape.
However, things didn't go according to Tsui's plan. The night before she was about to escape, Master Li suddenly called her to the study. He looked at Xiao Cui with a gloomy face, as if he had sensed her intentions.
"Xiao Cui, you have performed well in the mansion during this time, I originally wanted to promote you to be my personal maid. Master Li said slowly, "However, I found that you seem to be very interested in my affairs." ”
Xiao Cui's heart tightened, but she pretended to be casual on the surface, and said: "The master said that he was laughing, I am just a maid, where can I dare to be interested in the master's affairs?"
Master Li sneered, took out the ledger from the drawer, and said, "Then what do you look at?"
Xiao Cui's heart sank, she knew that her plan had been discovered. She took a deep breath and decided to confess everything.
"Sir, I know that you have committed many crimes, including the murder of your own daughter. Xiao Cui's voice said firmly, "I have written down all your crimes, and I am ready to take them to the county office to denounce you." ”
When Master Li heard this, he was furious, he stood up suddenly, grabbed Xiao Cui's collar, and roared angrily: "You cheap, you dare to betray me, I will kill you!"
Just as Master Li was about to make a move, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door. It turned out that the villagers learned of Xiaocui's plan and were worried about her safety, so they spontaneously organized themselves and prepared to come to rescue her. They rushed into the study and subdued Master Li to the ground.
Xiaocui took the opportunity to break free from the shackles of Master Li, she took the account book and ran to the county office to report the case. The county magistrate was shocked when he learned of the incident, and immediately sent someone to arrest Master Li. After the trial, Master Li's crimes were confirmed one by one, and he was sentenced to a heavy sentence.
Xiaocui's bravery and justice spread throughout the village, and she became the object of admiration of everyone. However, for Tsui, this is just the beginning of her new life. Leaving that gloomy mansion, she began her own independent life, and although the days were hard, her heart was full of hope.
She used her diligence and wisdom to open a small grocery store in the village. Although business was not prosperous at first, Xiaocui was never discouraged. She was hospitable, honest and trustworthy, and gradually her grocery store won the trust and support of the villagers.
One day, a passing merchant came to the village. He buys some items at Tsuime's grocery store and is impressed by Tsui's honesty and kindness. The merchant tells Cui that he has a distant relative who is looking for a reliable person to help with the family's business. He thinks Cui is a good candidate and asks her if she's willing to go.
Xiao Cui hesitated in her heart, she knew that this was a rare opportunity for her to get out of this remote mountain village and see the wider world. But at the same time, she was worried that she would not be able to do the job and that she would fail the businessman's good intentions.
However, with the encouragement and support of the villagers, Xiaocui finally decided to accept the challenge. She said goodbye to her fellow villagers and followed the merchant on a journey to a distant land.
After several days of trekking, they finally reached the merchant's relative's house. It is a large shop that handles a variety of goods. Cui was assigned to manage the day-to-day affairs of the store. Although the work is busy and trivial, Xiaocui enjoys it. She used her diligence and wisdom to keep the shop in good order, and won the appreciation and trust of the owner.
During her time in the shop, Xiaocui not only learned more about business, but also made many friends from different places. With her kindness and sincerity, she has won everyone's love and respect.
One day, a special guest came to the shop. He was a young son, richly dressed and with an extraordinary temperament. After selecting some items in the shop, he chatted with Xiao Cui. It turned out that this son was the son of a famous family in the nearby county, and he heard the story of Xiaocui and came to visit.
Childe admires Tsui's bravery and wisdom, and he invites her to his home, hoping to be friends with her. Xiaocui was moved by Childe's sincerity and followed him to the county seat.
In Childe's home, Xiaocui saw a more prosperous world. Childe took her to visit the places of interest in the county and taste a variety of delicacies. Amazed by the vastness and colorfulness of this world, she decided to study harder and keep improving herself.
In the interaction with Childe, Xiaocui also gradually discovered the deep emotions in her heart. She developed a deep respect and affection for Childe, and Childe was also attracted to Xiaocui's gentleness and kindness. The relationship between the two gradually warmed up and eventually came together.
After Xiaocui and her son got married, she did not give up her career. She continues to work in the shop, using her diligence and wisdom to create a better life for her family. At the same time, she also actively participates in public welfare activities in the county to help those in need.
Under her leadership, the business of the shop became more and more prosperous, and she also became a respected figure in the county. Her story has been told by more people and has become a legend in the hearts of generations after generations.
And Xiaocui has always maintained that kind and brave heart, and used her own strength to add beauty and warmth to the world.
