The cannon fodder female supporting role wants to run away, and the madly criticizing prince is red-

On a winter night, the earth was white and silent, and the barking of dogs two miles away could be heard in the village.

Inside the house, rice porridge was bubbling in a hanging pot, and the thick firewood below was jumping and burning, illuminating the entire room.

An unconscious woman lay flat on the bed, her black hair spread across the pillow, and her eyebrows twitched uneasily.

Only then did Lin Qianqian feel the warmth little by little.

It was clearly warm around, but my feet felt like they were stuck in an ice hole, cold and painful like a knife cutting them.

Her bones were so cold and painful, and only her skin on the outside could feel a little warmth, but that little warmth disappeared as soon as it was felt.

A pair of rough hands covered with thick calluses scooped up the white snow in the basin and rubbed the soles and insteps of her feet.

Mother Chen raised her head and ordered, "Jingzhou, you also help her rub her hands and face, otherwise she will be frozen."

Chen Jingzhou's face felt hot, and he lowered his head, "Mother, please don't do anything inappropriate."

"Don't follow these rules at this time. Do you want to watch her hands and her beautiful face freeze to death? It's very uncomfortable for a girl."

Chen Jingzhou didn't move.

He just raised his neck and glanced at Lin Qianqian, then his eyes moved to his mother's hands, which were covered with melted snow.

Mother Chen sighed and rubbed Lin Qianqian's feet carefully. "I don't want her face and hands to be frozen. If they are frozen, pus will ooze out, and the pus will come back again and again. If they are frozen, it will take a long time to heal. If her hands are frozen, it will be difficult for her to dress and eat."

"You carried her back on your back. Now you're telling her not to touch you. Isn't it too late?"

Chen Jingzhou took a deep breath.

He faced Lin Qianqian's unconscious face, clasped his hands together cautiously and reverently, and said, "I'm sorry."

"You treat me as a friend, and I treat you as a friend too. I, I won't let my imagination run wild."

"Mother, let me massage her feet. I don't dare touch her hands and face."

It was not until midnight that Lin Qianqian felt that her feet were no longer cold and the warmth finally flowed into her body bit by bit.

She was helped up, fed spoonful of warm rice porridge, and then fell asleep wrapped in a warm quilt.

As soon as the chickens crowed at the entrance of the village, she heard the sound of pages being turned and the low voices of reading.

Lin Qianqian slowly opened her eyes and met Chen's mother's concerned smile, "You're awake, girl."

"Aunt, you saved me, thank you." Lin Qianqian propped herself up, feeling deeply moved.

Mother Chen held Lin Qianqian's hand with her broad and warm hands, and stuffed rice porridge and a boiling-hot egg into her hands. "It's my duty. How could I leave you in danger without helping you? Eat first, and have a bowl of ginger soup later."

After dinner, Lin Qianqian picked up the ginger soup and drank it sip by sip, accompanied by the sound of Chen Jingzhou turning pages of a book.

While spinning, Chen's mother chatted with Lin Qianqian, "I've been looking forward to your coming again. I want to treat you well. The hen you sent last time now lays an egg a day, which can help Jingzhou replenish his body. There are also those precious rice and flour that can be eaten for a while. I heard that you like to eat pancakes, so I will make some pancakes for you later."

Suddenly, there was a noise outside. Lin Qianqian, Chen Jingzhou and Chen's mother raised their heads and looked out the window. They saw a group of people holding sticks and rushing into the house with ferocious looks.

"Great! You're here!"

The leader, Zui Huayin's thug, pointed at Lin Qianqian's face and said to his men, "Take her back to me."

Mother Chen stood up and looked at the people in front of her in surprise, "Who are you?"

She opened her arms and protected Lin Qianqian behind her. "What are you going to do?"

Chen Jingzhou came over and stood in front of his mother and Lin Qianqian and said, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

The leading man sneered at Lin Qianqian and said, "This woman escaped last night. Let's catch her now."

"She hurt our master."

Lin Qianqian said to Chen's mother and Chen Jingzhou, "Yes, I escaped last night and they came to catch me back."

"I don't want to implicate you. Everyone has their own share of responsibility. It was indeed me who hurt someone."

There are six of them, not counting the leader. How can Chen Jingzhou protect these two women alone?

How could she let him get ahead? Their family was just ordinary people, without any powerful background.

……

Lin Qianqian asked someone to tie her hands with a hemp rope. She was pushed by the person behind her and staggered. She took a few quick steps forward and almost bumped into the arms of the person in front of her.

Gu Zhu sat on the couch with his legs spread wide open and one foot high. He waved to the people beside him leisurely, "You guys go down."

"Yes."

The men all went down.

There were only two people left in the huge room.

He stood up and walked in front of Lin Qianqian. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand to pinch Lin Qianqian's chin and stared at her face. "How dare you hit me?"

"very good."

"Do you know what will happen if you offend me?"

Suddenly, he made an eagle claw shape with his right hand and pinched Lin Qianqian's throat fiercely. He used force with his index finger and thumb nails, digging deeply into Lin Qianqian's larynx.

Lin Qianqian was pinched so hard that she opened her mouth and breathed in pain.

"Why don't you accept a toast from a woman like you and drink the wine for punishment?"

"I've been good enough to you. I've been very patient with you."

"I give you this and that. You are so greedy. Isn't this enough?"

Lin Qianqian shook her head weakly, "No, no..."

Seeing that she was about to speak, Gu Zhu let go of her throat.

I only heard her covering her neck, coughing a few times, and saying in a hoarse voice, "Don't you know what rejection means?"

"If you were forced to be with a woman you didn't like, what would you do? If you were forced to do something you didn't want to do, what would you do? Don't you know how to put yourself in someone else's shoes? If you don't like someone, then you don't like them. There's no point in forcing them."

Gu Zhu narrowed his eyes slightly, "What do you mean by rejection?"

He seemed to be lost in thought. After pausing for two breaths, he said, "I had a woman I didn't like. She was once my wife. It was a matchmaking by my parents. What does it have to do with me? So what if I didn't like her? I still married her."

"Will you not refuse?"

"Reject?" Gu Zhu thought for a moment and sneered, "Why should I refuse? These are all given to me by others, and I am not at a disadvantage. I don't like those concubines and women that much, so I just sleep with them, and I am not at a disadvantage."

Lin Qianqian massaged her uncomfortable throat and said, "You don't know how to refuse, you don't know how to choose, do you want whatever others put in your mouth?"

"This is irresponsible to yourself and others. If others could have made better choices, then you are wasting their lives."

"Do you think that if you don't refuse, you can accept all the benefits and take all the advantages? You are wrong. The more you want to grab everything, the less you can grab anything."

Gu Zhu heard this and shook his head with a smile, "You woman... seem to want to tell me something."

"And what I want to tell you is that this is a world dominated by men. As a woman, you'd better find a man to rely on."

"I am willing to protect you, you should feel lucky."

He reached out his hand to touch Lin Qianqian's cheek, but was dodged. He stretched out his arm and turned Lin Qianqian's face back.

"You are special."

"I said I would marry you, and I will marry you. Even if you hurt me, I still want you."

"I don't want to marry you, even if I die." Lin Qianqian looked into his eyes and said, "I don't belong to anyone but myself."

"I know that in this world, you men have three wives and four concubines. It's very easy for a rich man to marry a woman. Some can even spend some money to take her away from her parents if they see a woman they like on the street. It's as easy for a man to get a woman as drinking water. Under such conditions, it's not an honor for a man to express his desire to marry. That's the upper class looking down on the lower class, that's looking at pets like cats and dogs, wanting to buy them back to play with."

"So I don't feel honored, or happy."

"In this world, being married to a man means you become his property, his possession. Rather than being a free person."

"You are such a talkative little mouth," Gu Zhu held Lin Qianqian's face with his hands, "Although I don't quite understand what you are saying, I really like listening to these new words."

"Before, I only knew that the purpose of a woman's mouth was to give a man a blowjob. Now you've let me know that in addition to serving a man, a woman's mouth can also say something sweet and interesting, and chat with people to relieve boredom."

Lin Qianqian stared at him sternly. "You don't want me. You just want to collect a different type of doll. Maybe like the beauty tarot cards, collect a whole set of types."

"You don't respect me and never treat me as a human being."

Gu Zhu laughed, "Isn't it good to be a pet? How many people want to be a pet, to be raised by rich people for a lifetime, isn't it good to let me spoil you?"

Lin Qianqian looked at him coldly, "People who keep pets will keep more and more."

"There is another phenomenon that I don't understand: why the more pets people keep, the more pets are abandoned."

"Why are there so many abandoned animals? Stray dogs and cats all had owners before, right? Why are they abandoned? When their owners first adopted them, they must have loved them and wanted to have them."
