Chapter 0290: Maze
Wu Yinwei's face was dazed, was she dreaming, or was she dead, how could there be a face she had never seen in front of her.
"I'll make you a bowl of custard, you've slept all day, you should be hungry." Xu Xinyu noticed that Wu Yinwei was awake.
Wu Yinwei didn't say anything, but looked at Xu Xinyu fixedly.
Xu Xinyu's tone was exaggerated: "Hey, don't look at me like that, it's scary, I'm a human being, not a ghost." ”
Wu Yinwei realized that she had seen the person in front of her, as well as her little cousin, and she saw her little cousin who had become beautiful.
The family had been gone for seven days, and she thought she would starve to death in her bed, but in a trance she heard someone talking, and someone else said that this courtyard was very familiar.
She didn't believe her ears, she thought she was dead, and her soul went back to when she was a child, and she heard others mention the conversation between her little cousin and her aunt's family.
This yard was changed by her according to the layout of her aunt's yard.
Later, she heard someone picking the lock, and her consciousness gradually cleared up, she was not dead, it was a stranger who came to this courtyard.
She saw a man enter her house, and she saw the man withdrawing and bringing in another man.
Although the person who came in later was unkempt and did not have a bright red hematoma on his face, she was familiar with those eyes, those eyes could speak, and the voice of her questioning was the voice that talked about the courtyard of her aunt's house when she was a child.
The third aunt said in the letter that the hematoma on the little cousin's face is gone, and the little cousin has become beautiful, and if the person in front of him washes his face, he should be very beautiful, as good as the third aunt.
No, the little cousin is a girl's family. It should be better looking than the third uncle.
What about the little cousin, why is there only this girl in front of me, where is my little cousin.
Wu Yinwei panicked. Struggling to get up.
"Don't worry, your little cousin is sleeping next to you, and you turn your head to look over there." Xu Xinyu pointed to the inside of the bed.
Wu Yinwei wrote everything on her face in her heart, although she couldn't see her expression clearly with the scars on her face, with Xu Xinyu's experience, she could guess that she was not far from ten.
Wu Yinwei's face twisted to the other side, and Ge Kailin slept next to her. With his face facing her, he couldn't sleep well because of the pain all over his body, frowning from time to time. Or her body swayed, her face had been washed, and there were scars on her face from tree branches, but she couldn't hide her beauty.
"I'll make you egg custard. Only eggs can also be found. Xu Xinyu went out.
Yesterday to today. She and Gordon had eaten more than how many eggs they had eaten.
When she entered the door with the custard, Xu Xinyu saw Ge Kailin and Wu Yinwei sitting on the bed with wide eyes and staring at each other, and no one spoke.
Xu Xinyu grinned: "You two meet each other, get up when you wake up, go out and look for anything else to eat, dried fruits are fine." ”
muttered in a low voice: "Just eat eggs, nothing else, only non-stop fart." ”
"Poof." Ge Kailin laughed, "When did you speak so vulgarly?" ”
Xu Xinyu was unconvinced: "What is vulgarity." It's called plain and easy to understand. ”
He also laughed: "When you two meet suddenly, there must be a lot of things to say, a lot of questions to figure out, and I don't know where to start for a while, don't worry, take your time, with the current physical condition of the three of us, don't think about it if you want to go home safely, you two have time to catch up, let's solve the problem of food and clothing first." ”
Ge Kailin restrained her expression and said to Wu Yinwei: "Fifth cousin, what Xinyu said is right, let's say it slowly, don't worry, I showed you, you are just weak, your voice is fine, just regulate it for a while." ”
After thinking about it, he asked, "Can you pick herbs in this trench?" ”
Wu Yinwei nodded and groped her way out of bed slowly.
Xu Xinyu helped her sit at the table: "You drink egg soup first, and when Kai Lin and I find something to eat, we will make you some thick food." ”
Wu Yinwei nodded again, when the old lady tied her, she said that their family didn't come back for more than five days, but they couldn't come back, she had to resign herself to fate, and now it's been eight days, and the little cousin shouldn't run into that family when she goes out, and there will be no danger.
Ger Kailin then got out of bed and grinned as soon as she walked, but she still had to insist, and she had to hurry back from picking herbs.
After she showed Wu Yinwei, the conclusion was not only what she just said, Wu Yinwei had multiple fractures on her body, her organs were damaged, and her endocrine system was strictly imbalanced.
Ge Kailin has never done it to correct bones, Xu Xinyu has learned from Tan Liuer, and she is also ruthless, and she will do it without saying a word.
Ge Kailin, a prescription for regulating the body, knew that the method of decoction was also the first to be the truth, but she couldn't distinguish the herbs.
Xu Xinyu's prescription is not as good as Ge Kailin's, and the decoction method is always confused, and the distinguishable herbs are never wrong.
Tan Liuer joked that it makes sense for God to do things, otherwise why don't they get together.
The two of them each ate a bowl of egg custard, each carried a few boiled eggs, and went out to collect medicine with a basket on their backs.
The boiled eggs were intended for the pursuers, and they stayed in the cave for a day and a night, and I don't know if those people froze to death.
The two of them walked back the way they came, but they couldn't find the entrance when they came from when they turned around.
Xu Xinyu was puzzled: "In broad daylight, how can it be like a ghost hitting the wall." ”
Ge Kailin shook her head: "It's not a ghost hitting the wall, it's a maze here, you can't get in lightly, and it's hard to get out if you come in." ”
"How do you know?"
"I read it in the book, and Brother Xiang also mentioned the maze to me, if you can't find the eye of the array, you can't break the maze."
"Yes, my brother is a general, and it's normal to understand the maze, alas, it's also those people who are unlucky, so they have to chase us so hard."
"There's no way around it, let's find food and herbs first, it's important to take care of your own body, your body is broken, even if you find the array eye, it won't help, you still can't get out."
The two of them gave up the entrance when they came to find it, and devoted themselves to finding food and herbs.
There are hundreds of chickens in the trenches, which are nimble and swifter than the average domestic chicken, and can fly to trees or cliffs at every turn.
There is also a lot of arable land, the corn cobs in the field have not been broken, and small abandoned sweet potatoes can still be dug up in the sweet potato field.
There are also a lot of small animals. The most numerous are hares.
This trench was really a treasure trove, and Ge Kailin had all the herbs he needed, and the basket for the two of them was quickly filled.
The two of them returned to the courtyard. Wu Yinwei has already boiled hot water.
Ge Kailin put down the basket and said to Wu Yinwei: "Fifth cousin, we got some corn and sweet potatoes, let's cook sweet potatoes and eat them first, and when we grind the cornmeal, let's mix it and drink it, you eat more, your body can withstand it." Xinyu and I will treat your legs. ”
Wu Yinwei's leg joints were misaligned, her leg bones were inverted, and she had a hard time walking.
Conditioning the body is a long-term job. This can be done as long as there are herbs.
Wu Yinwei looked at her legs, shook her head, paused and nodded, and took out a few sweet potatoes from the back basket to wash.
Ger took the sweet potato from her hand: "I'll wash it." You just sit down. If you feel like you are in a panic, boil more hot water, Xinyu and I are afraid of cold water, you should also be less cold, which is conducive to conditioning your body. ”
Wu Yinwei's hands are also deformed, there are bone misalignment, and there are also arthritis factors, Ge Kailin doesn't know how Wu Yinwei has lived in the past few years.
"Yes, look at our dirty bodies. You boil more hot water, let's all take a hot shower. Xu Xinyu agreed. Pick out the cob from the basket and sit there and rub the kernels down.
There is a stone mill in the west wing, and the corn has been dried thoroughly, and the corn kernels can be directly ground into cornmeal.
The well is also in the west wing, which is convenient for this house.
Ge Kailin asked while washing sweet potatoes: "Fifth cousin, are you alone in this family?" ”
Wu Yinwei shook her head, gestured with her hand to four, and then pointed to herself, meaning that there were four people including her.
"Are the three of them out?"
Wu Yinwei nodded.
Ge Kailin asked one question after another, and sometimes Xu Xinyu would interject, and the two tried their best to ask in a way that Wu Yinwei could gesture or shake her head and nod her head to answer, and when the sweet potatoes were cooked and the corn kernels were peeled, the two learned the general situation.
Wu Yinwei was adopted by this family in the year of the flood.
She took advantage of the abduction and the two maids to pay attention, and after escaping, she went to the county government to ask for the news of Ge Kailin's family, and the official said that she was looking for someone who had no money, and she had no money, so she took out the pearl mortgage, and the pearl was robbed, and she was also beaten to death by the county government.
The scars on her body fell at that time, and the bones were broken at that time.
When she woke up, she was already in a mass grave, and it was the stupid son of the family who pulled her out and had to pick her up and go home to be a daughter-in-law.
The family's surname is Wei, the old couple has a son, everything is as the son wants, Wu Yinwei saw it at the time, and the old couple picked up a toy as a son, and threw it away when he died.
After coming here, the old couple didn't care about her, Wei Baoer kept feeding her, and also took medicine for her to put on the wound, the old couple thought she would die soon, but she survived, just like a tattered doll, deformed badly.
The family surnamed Wei in this trench has to leave for a few days every year, and they don't take her with them every time.
She tried to get out many times, but like Ge Kailin and Xu Xinyu today, she couldn't find an exit when she turned around, and the ghost hit the wall in broad daylight.
Wei Bao'er told her that this was a maze, and without his father and mother, he couldn't even get out.
She asked Wei Bao'er why she lived in a maze, and Wei Bao'er said that it was for the master, and who the master was, Wei Bao'er couldn't tell.
In the past, when the Wei family left, although they didn't take her, they didn't restrict her freedom, but this time it was different.
This time, the Wei family not only tied her up, but also took away everything they could eat.
Mrs. Wei said that if she was lucky enough to get rid of the shackles, these hundreds of chickens would be enough for her to eat for a while, and if she managed well, she might be able to live to the end of her life, but she could only live here for the rest of her life, unless a god came to save her.
"That Wei Bao'er really thinks you're a daughter-in-law?" Ge Kailin asked tactfully.
"Ragdolls." Wu Yinwei made a difficult voice and wrote these three words on the ground with a tree branch.
Xu Xinyu said for her: "That is to say, when he calls you daughter-in-law, he only plays with you as a doll, holding you during the day and hugging at night, and he just hugs him, and there is no substantive action." ”
Wu Yinwei nodded, Wei Baoer is already more than ten years old, and her intelligence is only equivalent to the age of playing at home.
"That's enough," Ge Kailin recalled, "When I was a child, I slept with my fifth brother, and when he fell asleep, his arm pressed me, and I couldn't stand it. ”
Wu Yinwei shook her head.
"Why, he loves you so much that he can't bear to crush it?" Gordon guessed.
Wu Yinwei nodded.
Xu Xinyu sighed: "It seems that your life is not bad, Wei Baoer is mentally retarded, but she retains her innocence." ”
A few small boiled sweet potatoes per person, even if they had eaten a meal, Xu Xinyu and Ge Kailin went to grind corn.
Ge Kailin had never done this work before, and before she had been grinding for a long time, her arms were already sore, and her hands were blistered.
"You rest, I'll do the rest." Xu Xinyu pulled her aside.
"You're not much better than me, let's follow the old rules and come in turns." Gordon sat down to rest.
The two of them have consumed a lot of body in the past few days.
The corn picked up was enough to eat for two days, and after the corn was ground before dark, the two of them were too tired to move.
Wu Yinwei boiled two large buckets of hot water.
She was too thin, and her clothes didn't fit Ge Kailin and Xu Xinyu, so she found other clothes for the two of them.
"This is Wei Bao'er's?" Gordon unfolded her two robes, which she had more than she had.
Wu Yinwei shook her head.
"What kind of eyes do you have, this is clearly what a woman wears." Xu Xinyu teased, but her tone was not sure.
Unexpectedly, Wu Yinwei nodded.
"This is Bao'er's fucking clothes?" Ge Kailin was surprised, "It's weird, how tall and big this person is." ”
Xu Xinyu asked her: "What about Bao'er's father, is he also so tall?" ”
Looking at Wu Yinwei's gesture, she is half a foot taller than Bao'er's mother.
Ge Kailin remembered Zhou Ruofa and asked Wu Yinwei: "Are our eldest cousin and eldest cousin high?" ”
Wu Yinwei is more than half a foot taller than Zhou Ruofa's two children.
"Giants." Ge Kailin and Xu Xinyu spoke in unison.
Wu Yinwei was stunned for a moment, and then nodded vigorously.
asked him about Wei Bao'er's size again, and her gesture startled the two of them.
Wei Bao'er is already a head taller than his father and mother, and she is still growing.
Xu Xinyu suddenly remembered: "No, I have turned over all the places, except for no food, I have not found any clothes." ”
Wu Yinwei motioned for Xu Xinyu and Ge Kailin to follow her to her room, and lifted the quilt spread on the bed, revealing the clothes spread under the quilt, some of which were her own, and some of which were obviously much larger than her clothes.
"Bao'er, Bao'er." Wu Yinwei said with difficulty, pointing at herself.
"You mean, they took all the clothes, and Bao Er hid some clothes for you under the quilt?" ”
Wu Yinwei nodded vigorously, tears flowing.
Once a year the family had to leave, only this time they took all the food and clothing and tied her up.
At first, it was the fear of being abandoned, then despair, and while she was quietly waiting for death, Ge Kailin and Xu Xinyu came to save her again.
But what can this be, this is a maze that can't be escaped, and she still has to die here. (To be continued.) )
