Cheng Yao secretly complained in her heart, these people live in the land of the people, speak the Chinese language of the people, but they have alien thoughts in their heads. Unable to communicate, speaking the same language but unable to communicate, Cheng Yao was filled with an unspeakable sense of powerlessness.
Cheng Yao simply pushed them away and sat on the bed, she had to think carefully about what way to move them.
At this time, a fat woman was carrying a child crying, and the fat woman was busy coaxing it, but she couldn't stop coaxing. I don't eat breastfeeding.
The child was only a little more than a year old, and his little face was red. Hoarse crying. The fat woman was in a hurry. The other people next to him were also in a hurry, and they couldn't help at all.
Cheng Yao walked up and touched the child's little face with her hand, and the child suddenly stopped crying. The fat woman was pleasantly surprised and said: "This child is destined for you, you see, you don't cry when you touch him."
"Did you kid cry inexplicably these days and nights until he had no strength to cry, and then fell asleep?"
"Yes! Yes! It's been three days like this, and every time it gets dark, he starts crying, and it's useless to coax him. The fat woman wondered, "How do you know?" ”
"Where did you take your baby three days ago?"
"No! Isn't every day just about working, cooking, eating, and sleeping? Every day. ”
"Fat sister-in-law, three days ago, wasn't there a man on the other side of the cliff who died? You went to see it with your child on your back! Was it something unclean at that time? Another woman reminded.
"That's right! How I didn't think of it. The fat woman suddenly realized.
The fat woman turned to Cheng Yao, "Sister, you seem to know that the child is because he is stained with evil spirits?" ”
"Yes, I know, and I know that your kid will cry when it's dark."
"What should I do?" The fat woman asked eagerly.
"I know what to do, but I need you to do me a favor."
"How can it help? As long as I can do it. ”
"She doesn't want to be Ah Fu's daughter-in-law, she wants to go out of the mountains." Ah Fu's mother explained.
"The Afu family saved you, you should be his daughter-in-law!" This fat woman is also a dead brain, and Cheng Yao is disappointed again. Maybe these people have never been out of the mountain in their lives, they don't know the world outside the mountain, they don't understand, how can a person who comes in from the outside live in this primitive and backward poor mountain village with peace of mind and live a boring and dull life for decades, what is the difference between this and a donkey that has been grinding all his life.
But Cheng Yao still struggled to explain, "They saved me, and I can thank them in many other ways." For example, money, I can give them a lot of money. ”
"We don't need money here, we eat everything we grow from the ground, and the government will give us seeds, salt and common medicines. And the clothes, you see these padded clothes were issued a month ago. The fat woman pulled the red down jacket on her body.
The clothes weren't new, they were obviously worn by someone else. These people have very low requirements for life, they can be self-sufficient in food, grow some grain and vegetables, raise some pigs and chickens, raise some game, and there are wild fruit trees in the mountains, walnuts, pine nuts, etc., clothing, medicine, salt, and other necessities provided by the government, and they are satisfied. So it seems that they really don't need money. Their major event in life is to marry a daughter-in-law.
"Have you never been out of the mountains?" Cheng Yao couldn't help but ask.
"No, the road is so lucky, and another one they say that people outside the mountain are very bad, will bully people, there have been a few young people who go out to work, very hard, low income, and are bullied, everything outside costs money, I heard that the last thatched house has money, outside, there is no money, even a dog is not as good, for money, and hard work, so it is better to live comfortably in the village. Every year, the village sends a few men out to receive things from the government, and the others never go out. ”
The children of these people are obviously uneducated, and their thinking is so outdated, you can imagine what will happen to them when they go outside. It is inevitable to endure hardships and be bullied.
If it weren't for the drama of being forced to marry, I would be able to go to this kind of place in person, such a group of people, such a village, it can be regarded as an alternative wonder today. If it weren't for her own experience, Cheng Yao would never believe that she was in the same era and that there was such a group of people living in such a way.
But for Cheng Yao at this time, the most important thing is how to avoid forced marriage at night and how to get out of the mountains safely.
"Sister, we will be from the same village in the future, you know what to do, just help my child go to the evil spirit!" The fat woman's pleading tone.
Cheng Yao is not angry, why will she definitely stay? Must be part of this village? But on second thought, why not take advantage of this incident to avoid tonight first?
"Fat sister-in-law, no problem, when the child cries at night, you will come and call me."
It gets dark early in the mountains, because there is no electricity, so there is nothing to entertain, and people are used to the life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. Soon after dark, people yawned and went home.
Ah Fu's mother locked Cheng Yao and Ah Fu in a room
