Chapter 245: Steady First
was finally untied, Lin Zhu didn't know how long he had been in a daze, and he almost fainted.
She opened her eyes slightly, and looked miserably at Grandma Lin Qi who helped her remove the soft cloth in her mouth.
"Kid, you're alright. Just take it slowly, and then get up and drink saliva. ”
Grandma Lin Qi was a little unbearable to brush the messy hair on Lin Zhu's forehead and whispered.
What kind of water to drink? Fake. Why do you treat her like this with such kindness. Lin Shu slowly closed her eyes, the donkey cart was too good to be reversed, and she almost turned her internal organs upside down, at this time, her stomach was overturned, and when she opened her mouth, she was afraid that she would come out.
Grandma Lin Qi's smooth and featureless face was slightly embarrassed, she slowly sat on the edge of the car and said, "Zhu'er, it's not that we are ruthless, and we are not bad people. It's just that your stupid uncle, oh no, it's your man in the future, and he's in his thirties. If they don't get married, the children will be delayed. Grandma Seven knows that you are high-minded and smart. We didn't dare to think about it. It was your grandmother who said that you had no father or mother since you were a child, and your father and mother were honest. As long as we are good to you, we can find you a good family. Child, we are being unreasonable with you now. As long as you are obedient, my brother's family is also a good person, and he will definitely treat you well. They used up all their savings to marry you. ”
After speaking, a pair of hands that were a little rough touched her face.
It turned out that he was taken captive by someone else to be his daughter-in-law, and he still sounded like a fool.
There's such a thing! I had only heard of robbing my daughter-in-law before, but I didn't expect it to fall on my head.
Lin Zhang, Lin Yun. You're too ruthless. Without asking, he sold himself like this.
How could such an unfortunate thing happen, it's really too weak. I thought that it was my greatest blessing to meet parents like my father and mother in this life, and I would be unlucky when I met Jin Xiaoguang.
She really wanted to jump up and scold these little landlords who fell into the stone, could she not have a father or mother to fall off the stone, and rob people like this in broad daylight.
But I didn't have any strength in my body, and I didn't even have the strength to think about it for a while. She had no choice but to continue to rest with her eyes closed.
Fortunately, the car did not move at this time, and it was a little more comfortable to lie down for a while.
Now that it's been robbed, I don't know where I'm going to be taken, so it doesn't seem to be in danger for the time being. Or don't be so impulsive, and be obedient first. Let's see what's next. Look for another opportunity.
Grandma Lin Qi sighed when she saw that she closed her eyes and didn't speak.
I heard Lin Laoqi say: "It's in the house." You go and cook with Xiaolan and her mother first. I've been walking all night, and I'm hungry. ”
Grandma Lin Qi seemed to be very afraid of her man, so she reluctantly got up and went to cook.
Walked all night? No wonder it's so uncomfortable. It feels like Grandma Lin Qi is gone. She opened her eyes slightly.
It turned out to be under a big mountain. You can see a small river not far away. There are families on the other side of the river.
The car was parked under a large tree. The donkey was tethered to another, smaller tree. Grandma Lin Qi and her aunt were putting a small pot on a square platform built up of stones. Next to it were two potatoes, a bag.
Lin Zhu found that in addition to Lin Laoqi, Lin Qi's grandmother, aunt and grandmother. There was also an older man. The chubby short ones also wore crumpled robes. Width and length have become proportional, and it looks funny.
This short and fat man is her future "father-in-law".
The fire was lit, and thick smoke drifted over, and the smoked forest couldn't help but cough a few times.
Grandma Lin Qi hurriedly brought a bowl of water, still sitting on the edge of the car, put the water bowl aside, helped Lin Zhu up and said, "Child, drink some water." Your body is too weak, and when you go to my brother's house in the future, let your mother-in-law make up for you and slaughter a hen, your mother-in-law's tea and rice are famous in the whole village. ”
I didn't have a single stroke, and I didn't intend to let this one go out, and it sounded really harsh to be called by someone like this, your mother-in-law, your mother-in-law, your mother-in-law.
But my dry throat is really uncomfortable and disgusting.
She took a few sips of water from Grandma Seven's hand, leaned weakly on the edge of the car and looked blankly.
This mountain road is supposed to be untraveled, and the road is full of dry grass. The trail is lined with wooded mountains on one side and steep slopes on the other. The place where someone's house looks far away, and it will take half an hour to run.
These small rural landlords were quite cautious, and they hurried overnight yesterday. I'm looking for such a place where there are no people during the day.
Escaping doesn't seem to be working.
After eating, I feel much better. The seventh grandmother took out a piece of clothing from the car and put it on her and said, "Zhu'er, it's cold here." Wear some clothes. “
After resting for a while and continuing on the road, Lin Zhu sadly found that there was no one on the road, and there was no hope for help.
Basically walked all day in a deserted and populated place. The old donkey kicked and trampled, and gradually got used to it, sitting in the car for a while and drowsy, and then opening his eyes to see.
I don't know how long I walked, but it felt like it was getting dark.
Lin Laoqi's voice came from his ears: "Zhu'er, I'm sorry for you." The words just fell. The sack was put on his head again. His hands and feet were tied again.
Then he was carried into a certain place, and after entering, he was put down.
After her hands and feet were untied, she found herself in a simple room. She was placed on a clay kang.
Where is this? It can't be the family that wants to get married.
Grandma Lin Qi came over and sat on the edge of the kang and said, "Zhu'er, eat first, and then sleep well." I just suffocated. There's really no way around it. When I get home in a few days, I won't have to suffer this sin. “
After the seventh grandmother finished speaking, she saw that she didn't speak, so she kept sitting on the edge of the kang.
She could see that Grandma Seven and her aunt were watching her specifically. Whether she was sitting in the carriage or now, the two old women were not far away.
Two women were cooking in the house, and two men were sitting at a dark and tattered table talking.
Originally, this was a hotel, and the owner was only responsible for providing such a dilapidated house, not for eating. The price is cheap.
Lin Shu slowly sat up straight and looked out. It was already dark, it was dark outside, and there seemed to be no one.
No matter where it is, as long as you haven't arrived at Lin Laoqi's uncle's house, you still have a chance.
Holding a rice bowl, eating the hard-to-swallow yellow rice dry rice, boiled potato chips with little salt and oil, and sour cabbage.
Lin Zhu asked timidly in a low voice: "Seventh grandmother, I passed the door, can I eat enough?" ”
Let's find something to talk about first. Or confuse them. so that they can let their guard down and give them a chance.
Before the seventh grandmother could speak, the short and fat man hurriedly said, "Eat enough, eat enough." Although our family is not a rich and noble family. It's also solid. The food at home is enough to eat if the grains are not harvested for seven or eight years. ”
"So. After I passed the door. Do you want to work in the fields? I didn't do farm work, I only grew vegetables with my father. ”
"You don't have to do your work. There are people in our family who are working, and I and Silly Gen are still doing it. There are also two long-term workers, in the future, you just need to be at home and give birth to a handle for our Yao family. ”
The short and fat man said with a flattering smile on his face.
A stupid son in his thirties can marry such a daughter-in-law, and he has to be coaxed.
"I'm not good at tea and rice, I don't know how to needle and thread at all,"
The short and fat man hurriedly said, "No, no, your mother-in-law will teach you slowly." It doesn't matter if you can't learn. There is an old mother at home. ”
Lin Zhu deliberately asked a lot of questions, whether he would be abused at home, and whether he would do a lot of housework.
The short and fat men all affirmed them one by one, and the meaning was very clear, as long as she obediently went to be the daughter-in-law of the Yao family, she didn't have to do anything. In the future, as long as you give birth to a successor.
Now it is basically clear that he was secretly sold by Lin Zhang's family to the stupid son of Lin Laoqi's wife's uncle's family as a daughter-in-law. This Yao family is a small landlord family who can eat well, and the man to be married is a fool in his thirties. In order to marry this fool's daughter-in-law, the family used up almost all the money in the family.
This person called Silly Root should be the same generation as his father, and he is not ordinary stupid, otherwise he would not be able to marry a daughter-in-law in the countryside at a large price, and he would come to a town so close to the capital.
The short and fat man named Yao Laoshi looked very happy, and tremblingly took out two boiled eggs and a few red dates from his arms. He put his hands on Grandma Lin Qi and said, "Sister." Give it to the child, she is weak. ”
Grandma Lin Qi took the egg with a smile and said, "Shi'er, I know that she is weak." Don't be so economical in the future, this child is used to two roots. ”
Yao Laoshi is the tenth child of the Yao family, his real name is Lao Shi, because he is honest, he is slowly called honest. He can endure hardships and save. I saved up money to buy some land.
Yao honestly smiled honestly and almost stupidly, nodded again and again, and said, "Sister, no." Save depends on whom you want to save. I'm stupid to save my own mother's province, but not to my child. ”
Lin Zhu was half leaning against the smoked black kang wall, and Grandma Lin Qi hurriedly said, "Zhu'er." Don't lean against the wall, it's cool. Sleep when you're sleepy. I haven't had a good night's sleep in the past two days. There is a hot kang today, so get a good night's sleep. ”
At this time, obedience is the best protection for yourself.
Lin Zhu obediently lay on the kang, covered with a heavy quilt that smelled unpleasant and had been covered by an unknown number of people, and lay on the hot kang.
The two men went outside, sounding like they were going to sleep in the car.
Lin Zhu was sandwiched between Grandma Lin Qi and Grandma Lin.
In the past two days, I have been a little sleepy by the bumps, and I have also figured out that although these people are very despicable and take her away, they are honest and responsible croppers, as long as she is obedient and stabilizes them, there will be no danger for the time being.
Stabilize them first. Listen to them, and it will take at least five or six days to reach the place called Linjiagou Yaojiapo. After so long, I must be able to think of a way to escape.
Lying on the kang, I touched the pocket hidden inside the clothes. There was the silver she brought with her to the town to see the Shehuo, but fortunately she still maintained the habit of bringing some money when she went out, and now there are one or two.
If she has money, she doesn't panic, and one or two pieces of silver should be enough for her to eat steamed buns and pickles for a month. As long as you promise to escape without starvation, you are not afraid.
She was holding the silver in her arms in the bed, and her mind was trying to think about the road she had walked.
It should be for safety and to prevent her from escaping, and she walked on deserted paths. Except for being put in sacks, all she could see was mountain roads.
The two women on either side slept and snored loudly. The noise made Lin Zhu's ears uncomfortable. She tossed and turned, afraid that the silver would fall out, and always covered it with her hands.
Suddenly, I pinched something like a rope at the bottom of my pocket, and pinched it along the rope for a while.
I suddenly remembered that this was not some line of fire that Young Master Jin Zhen handed over to him when he was leaving. He told her to take it with him, as well as a fire sickle. When there is any danger, it will be ignited.
What Young Master Jin Zhen said was absolutely trustworthy, and he said that he could see these lines of fire when they were lit.
It seems that there is no endless road, and hope is instantly ignited in my heart.
I was happy for a while, and suddenly it occurred to me that the fire line was brought, but not the fire sickle.
It's also strange that although she trusted Young Master Jin Zhen very much, she didn't realize that she would be in such danger. Just listened to what Young Master Jin Zhen said, put the fire line into his pocket of his clothes, but did not bring a fire sickle with him.
She lifted herself slightly to look at the windowsill.
It was the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, and the moon was very bright, shining through the black window paper.
She could clearly see a fire sickle on the windowsill, and a ball of velvet next to it.
She moved tentatively, trying to get the scythe.
The seventh grandmother and aunt beside her woke up instantly, and the seventh grandmother sat up vigilantly, rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked, "Zhu'er, what are you doing?" Isn't it to be relieved, there is a urinal on the ground. ”
My aunt and grandmother sat up too.
These two women simply have donkey ears, really long.
It was obviously snoring like thunder just now, but he moved his body slightly, and he was heard before the rat was loud.
She hurriedly said, "Seventh grandmother, I drank too much at night." ”
I pretended to go to a small solution, but I was still caught in the middle. But she was able to see where the fire sickle was. Close your eyes slowly.
Get a good night's sleep. Ming'er got up early in the morning and secretly took the fire sickle away. As long as they don't leave their sight during the day. Not many people will pay attention to this detail.
I slept until dawn.
Grandma Seven's breakfast is ready.
"Zhu'er, drink some millet soup, the unique millet in the mountains, the butter is yellow, you will grow fat after drinking it, see how thin you are."
My aunt and grandmother carefully brought her a bowl of millet porridge with a layer of oily skin floating on it. Wear a plate of sour cabbage on top.
Lin Zhu drank it in one gulp, but did not move the sour cabbage.
The taste of sour cabbage is one and a half points different from that pickled by Cai Erniangzi, which is really difficult to swallow.
Drinking rice porridge and staring at the fire sickle on the windowsill, it has been moved behind the oil lamp.
"Zhu'er, come down and comb your hair, let's go." You have to hurry up, the cost of the road is big. ”
Grandma Lin Qi quickly put the small pots and pans into a bag and put them on the wheel. took out a small wooden comb and a small round mirror and handed it to Lin Zhu, picked up a bowl, took some water and said, "Zhu'er, comb your hair." I was in a hurry, and I didn't take the lead oil. ”
It's disgusting, the bowl that I ate just now.
Lin Zhu frowned slightly, let's just leave it at that. She took the comb, mirror, and water bowl and put it on the windowsill, sat on the edge of the kang, and combed her hair very carefully. (To be continued......)
