Chapter 9 Poor Fish
"Miss, didn't you say you should go back to the house and sleep?" I ran rampant in the garden, and Xiaolu trotted after me. Her legs were too short. Suddenly I looked at her feet. Maybe she had bound feet?
"Miss, why did you stop suddenly?"
"Xiao Lu, do you have your feet bound?" I sat casually by the lotus pond. I wonder if there is such a bad custom in this time and space.
Xiao Lu nodded,
"Of course, even though my family background is not good and my parents died early, my aunt still bound my feet." He recalled, "Actually, I was very afraid of foot binding when I was little, because it was very painful and I cried.
I begged my aunt not to bind my feet, but she ignored me and said that I would thank her later. I later learned that a woman without foot binding cannot get married." After saying that, she actually saw me taking off my shoes and wrapping my feet.
Reached into the pond.
"Miss, please put on your shoes quickly. What will happen if a man looks at you in broad daylight?"
I chuckled, seeing Xiao Lu looking like an old scholar.
Seeing that I ignored her and continued to let my feet dangle in the water, Xiaolu became anxious and picked up my feet from the water.
"Yeah!" Xiao Lu exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Following her gaze, it turned out to be the foot in her arms that I had not bound.
"What's wrong, doesn't it look good?" I asked with a smile.
I saw the little girl burying her head and not answering, holding my feet in her arms. After a long while, I heard her voice choked with sobs: "No!"
She raised her head with tears in her eyes, "Xiao Lu doesn't know, I don't know..." Is she feeling sad for me? I saw Xiao Lu sit down, take off her embroidered shoes, tear off the long foot wrap, and put her hand in
In the lotus pond.
"From today on, Xiaolu, like Miss, no longer has her feet bound."
I looked at Xiao Lu. Apart from Situ Qin, she was the second person who was sincerely nice to me in this time and space. It would be a lie to say that I was not moved. But the smell released by these little feet that have been wrapped in layers all year round is really...
It's a bit Hong Kong, and I couldn't help but worry about the fish in this pond. Looking at Xiaolu and smelling the scent of lotus mixed with the peculiar smell in the wind, I accidentally laughed out loud.
"Oh ho ho ho ho ho! Oh ho ho ho..."
Xiaolu also noticed it and blushed with embarrassment.
"Miss……"
After laughing, I said seriously,
"Xiao Lu, thank you. But there is no need to be sad for me. My parents loved me too much and couldn't bear the pain, so they didn't bind my feet. Foot binding is a kind of torture, and it is a man's delusion to imprison a woman's mind and body.
Abnormal behavior. My parents think their daughter is good enough that even if she doesn’t have her feet bound, a man will be willing to marry me.”
"Really?"
"of course it's true."
"Can Xiaolu not have her feet bound? It really hurts."
"Of course you can. The feet are Xiaolu's. Xiaolu can do whatever he wants."
"Little Green can do whatever she wants?" Little Green repeated stupidly.
"Yes, you can do whatever you want."
