Chapter 88
Li Shujing stood in the courtyard and looked around. The old lady was surprised that she did not run or cry, but knowing that she could not run out of the village, she did not care about her.
On the contrary, he felt that she was as pitiful as himself, and at noon, he served her half a bowl of multigrain dry rice mixed with beans and two pickle sticks, "Hey, we are a little poor here, and you are a girl with good conditions at home...... Let's eat, we only have this one dry meal a day, I'm going to deliver food to my son, he's tired from work. ”
A large bowl full of dry rice, plus a plate of fried cabbage, and two thin slices of bacon on top, is a laborious lunch.
This is a little poor, this is simply poor.
The old lady went to deliver the food, and as she was leaving, she pointed outside and said, "Follow this direction, over three mountains, and you will reach the town." If my old lady walked, she would have to walk for five or six hours, and my son would have to walk for three or four hours if he was younger. ”
Li Shujing was a little surprised, what does the old lady mean by this?
Tell her how to escape?
"But," reminded the old lady, "the road in the mountains is not easy to walk, only winding paths, and wild beasts." Over there, there is a road out of the village, although it is also a dirt road, but you can walk on an ox cart, and the people who sent you yesterday are on tractors. But it's on the road, my son is over there, and a young woman like you can't get out. ”
Li Shujing was already sure what she meant.
She nodded to the old lady in thanks.
After resting for a morning and eating half a bowl of dry rice, her physical strength did not recover to its best, but if she ran away and beat someone, it would be no problem.
Yang Yang knew something about her strength, but even when they had a good relationship with An Baiyu, they didn't reveal how much strength she had, so they only knew that she was stronger.
These are all good for her.
Moreover, she could see farther and hear better, but she hadn't told anyone else.
When the old lady was gone, she went to find a rope, tied her trouser legs, and then went into the house, turned over a cabbage, picked up a few leaves, and found a small turnip, washed it, and stuffed it in her pocket.
Fortunately, the down jacket she wears in winter can be carried in her pocket, otherwise she would have to find a way to carry it.
She didn't have a penny in her pocket, and her mobile phone was also searched, and the cabbage leaves and small radishes were her next meal.
After thinking about it, Li Shujing went to find a sickle, and she had confidence in her hand in her hand. She went out of the courtyard, stood at the door, made her way, and went into the woods in the direction the old lady pointed out.
She didn't plan to follow the mountain road all the time, she didn't have a compass, and she wasn't familiar with the road, so it was easy to get lost in the mountains.
She planned to follow the direction of the roadside, away from the village, and then she could get to the road.
However, she didn't want to think about why the old lady said those things if she could go like that.
Li Shujing had a sickle, she had strength, and it was not so difficult to walk in the mountains, and it didn't take long for her to stay away from the village.
It's just that at this time she realized that she wanted to turn onto the road and walk, which was just a fantasy.
Even if she thinks that she is going in one direction, she is actually still far away, and mountain streams, cliffs, and rivers are all reasons that hinder her from walking in a straight line.
Since you can't turn onto the road, let's do what the old lady said, cross the mountain. She is also a person with perseverance, and once she has decided on a goal, she has decided to keep going.
She didn't know how long she had walked, but there was a stream in front of her, and she sat down on the grass by the brook and drank a few sips of the river water with her hands. Immediately, a chill spread throughout her body, making her feel a lot clearer, and even her fatigue was much reduced.
Li Shujing didn't know that not long after she left, before the old lady came back from delivering the meal, two people came to the house, one of them turned around as soon as she entered the yard, and the position of the turn was exactly where Li Shujing had stood before.
"That's right, this is it. I said, Fangzi, your daughter-in-law was brought here. Tsk, this is the bed she has been lying in...... However, now that she is no longer here, she should have run. ”
Qin Fang's face was pale, and he was about to speak, when the old lady came back, she was startled when she saw them, "You, who are you? Why did you come to my house?" she said and went into the house to take a look, of course there is nothing worth stealing at home, what she wants to see is whether the girl has run away?
"Don't be afraid, old lady. Let me ask you a question, what about the girl in front of your family?" Qin Zhou asked.
The old lady was stunned for a moment, "Auntie, girl? What girl?" For so many years, no one has come to the village to find the woman who was sold, this girl is really a good life, just after being sold, the family found it.
"Old lady, don't lie. I know, in the middle of last night, a couple of you came here and brought a girl, did she sell it to your family or did she give it to your family? She slept here, well, and then stood here, here, and here, and here, and now, where are the people?"
The old lady was a little flustered, who were these people? Why did he know where the girl was standing?" "I, I don't know, I went to deliver food, and I just came back." The old lady took a few steps back as she spoke, then turned around and ran outside, "Come on, my girl has run away!"
Qin Fang and Qin Zhou glanced at each other, and Qin Zhou whispered, "It should be right." in this direction. He pointed outward.
"Let's chase!" Qin Fang's spirit was tense, and he couldn't smile anymore, even if he heard her say that he had run away, he couldn't be happy.
In this vast mountain, will she be in danger of a girl's family? Will she be afraid?
In his brain, he automatically blocked the fact that Li Shujing acted neatly in the mountains, and his mind was full of worries.
This is the only friend who can explain him and talk to him, if there are three long and two short, how heartbroken he should be!
When the old lady called someone back, the two of them were gone in the courtyard. "Huh, what about people?"
Someone came and asked, "Ran away?" I see where she can run, so hurry up and chase after her. Auntie, don't worry, Dashan's daughter-in-law can't run away this time. ”
The old lady was busy thanking her, and seeing that everyone was chasing after her, she sighed and said softly, "I have done everything I can, it depends on your own creation." ”
She turned around and walked into the house, someone behind her called "Mom", she looked back and saw that it was her son, she glanced left and right, beckoned him into the house, and whispered, "That girl has run away." ”
Li Dashan nodded with a wooden face, and said loudly, "I know." Mom, I'm going to chase someone, you're at home!"
The old lady saw that her son was leaving, and stretched out her hand to drag him back, but her hand reached halfway and sighed, "Go, it's my mother who is sorry for you." ”
Li Dashan still had a wooden face, "Mom, if she can run, it means that I should be a bachelor for the rest of my life." If she can't run, then she should be my Li Dashan's daughter-in-law. ”
The old lady burst into tears, "I know, I know." ”
