Chapter Twenty-Six: Sore Limbs
The other side.
In the dark firewood room, Lu Long tried to open his eyes and look around, it was very dark, and he couldn't see his five fingers.
Presumably, the windows and doors should have been nailed to death, otherwise the moonlight through the window paper would have shone in.
Lu Manman was forced to lie on the ground, her face pressed against Mother Earth.
It is conceivable that the miscellaneous soil and grass clippings on the ground are all covered in her body.
She squirmed, eager to roll over and sit up so she could break free of the rope.
With the last of her strength, she pushed the rag out of her mouth with her tongue.
At this time, her whole face was numb, let alone talking, and she didn't even have the strength to shout.
The rags that fell to the ground were stained with blood and saliva, and God knows how much effort it took her to do it.
Today's events are like dreams.
When Lu Manman thought of her grandfather and grandmother dead, her tears couldn't stop flowing.
I was crying out in my heart, why are you so unfair, God? Tear up my home!
Tears moistened her eyes, sliding down her cheeks little by little, and the wound on the corner of her mouth was so painful from the salty tears.
There was no way to wipe it, so I could only continue to squirm so that I could turn over and put my back against the ground.
She quietly looked at the beams and pillars in the room, and her eyes were full of scenes of her grandfather and grandmother playing happily with her.
Her eyes were already red, and she was tired of crying, but the tears still did not give up.
Daddy had been away from the house for so long, and she couldn't remember what Daddy's smile looked like.
There is only one person in the house who can be so ruthless, and that is Mo Chuqing.
As soon as she thought of this, a hideous expression appeared on Lu Manman's stiff face, she hated it! Hate that poisonous woman who killed her own mother!
She hated her for ruining her happy family.
In this long dark night, she cried silently, she lay on the ground when she was tired of crying, and continued to cry when she came back to her senses, until she was so tired that she fell asleep.
In the early morning, the beams of light that came through the wooden planks seemed to have nothing to do with her.
The light that symbolizes hope has nothing to do with her, what a ridiculous definition!
As the sun rose higher and higher, the firewood room was bright enough.
Lu Long finally saw what he looked like now.
The hemp rope tied up her five flowers, and tied her dress so wrinkled that it was not decent, should she be glad that she wore more? Otherwise, she would have frozen to death here last night.
Lu Chang saw where she was, and when she regained her strength, she could move her body to the edge of the pyre and sit up against it.
What a humble thought!
She is a dignified daughter, and she will be downcast to such a state, and I don't know if she will be able to fill her stomach later!
If they hadn't brought them food, wouldn't they have died here?
She doesn't want to die like this yet, she hasn't found evidence to prove her innocence and accuse Mo Chuqing!
I don't know which eye my father looked at Mo Chuqing when he was blind.
Besides, she fell in love with it, and let her persecute her heirs like this.
Now that his precious daughter is imprisoned in the firewood room, her life and death are uncertain, and her father really can't even think about it, right?
The road is long, and the confused father really makes her have nothing to say.
Lu Changman can vaguely see the blood stains on his face, it should be that he was accidentally scratched by those branches when he moved his body last night, and now he is numb and painless.
By the time the rooster crowed, Lu Manman was almost rested, and she gritted her teeth and rolled herself over to the edge of the pyre, and then endured the pain to hit the wood with her body.
In this way, little by little, she leaned on the inertia of her body hitting the pyre.
At this time, Lu Manman didn't know how big the bag was at the back of her head, she only felt that her hair was wet, it should be sweat.
The scabbed lips of last night were stretched open by the expression just now, and the blood from the torn wound was still warm.
She felt a little happy this time, probably satisfied with the thought of spending so much effort leaning on the pyre.
Happy to be happy, but she didn't know that the back of her head was full of blood.
There was such a big movement in the firewood room, it was impossible for the people outside not to hear it, they just didn't care.
After resting for a while, her stomach had already begun to rumble, but she still didn't see anyone outside bring her something to eat, they didn't really plan to starve themselves to death in this firewood room, right?
Lu Manman doesn't care about anything else now, she only cares about whether she eats this breakfast or not!
The longer she waited, the more hungry she became, and finally, she couldn't help but shout: "Someone! ”
"I'm going to die!"
"I don't believe I'm starving to death, and my father won't avenge me!"
"Come on!"
Seeing that no one responded for a long time, she continued to shout: "If you don't come again, I'll ...... I'll keep shouting! ”
"I don't believe you guys won't be annoyed when you're outside!"
The road is long and shouting without stopping, loud and heroic, which can be attributed to Situ Xiuyuan who has been quarreling with her!
"Come on!"
"If you don't want me to die inside, open the door right away!"
"I'm the eldest lady of the Lu family, you can't do this to me!"
……
She screamed so much that her throat was about to burst, and she could only lick her lips with her tongue as she moved, so that the corners of her lips would not be too dry and tear.
According to the long road shouting, it is impossible for no one to pay attention to her, but they can only follow Mo Chuqing's instructions to prevent her from dying of thirst and starvation.
Finally, someone's footsteps sounded, very hurried.
The sound of opening the door was as good as the sound of fireworks on Chinese New Year's Eve, and from behind the door came a man who had never seen each other for a long time.
The two of them had thick arms and legs, and their bodies were very burly, with a dissatisfied look on their dark faces.
One person felt that the road was long and annoying, so he said perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, Madame ordered not to let you go hungry, how dare we make you hungry?" ”
The other man looked embarrassed and added, "If you die, then we won't be able to deal with Madame!" ”
"You just stop for a while, you're better, we're better, okay?"
The two strong men said a word to me, and while talking, they brought hot meals to Lu Manman.
A strong man took out a plate of delicious food and put it on the ground, and then said: "Hey, although we are not subordinates of your mansion, I don't know how you offended Madame, I will untie you, you eat well, don't scream and make trouble." ”
The two looked at each other and decided to untie Lu Manman.
The man who spoke more pleasantly said: "If you don't speak, I'll take you as a promise, hello, I'm good, everyone, I hope you can understand that it's not easy for us." ”
Lu Man stared at the vegetables and meat on the ground on a delicate plate, as well as the bowl of white rice, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, not hearing what they were saying clearly, just thinking that he could break free from the shackles and pick up the dishes and chopsticks to fill his stomach.
The moment when the two of them untied Lu Manman.
Lu Long Man was like a crazy cow, rushed directly to the front of the meal, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and didn't feel hot, and kept picking up the rice in his mouth, for fear that the hot meal would be gone in the next second.
The half day I spent here was really like a dream, one heaven and one hell, just like grilled fish.
The two strange men consciously stepped aside, and they saw that the road was long, and they devoured it, for fear that she would be hungry for too long, and this little thing would not be enough for her to eat, so they would swallow the two of them alive!
It's scary to think about!
The man smiled and comforted Lu Long, "You eat slowly, don't be afraid that you can't eat it, and we won't rob you." ”
Lu Manman didn't listen to persuasion, and directly stuffed a large mouthful of rice into it, and now she was choked.
The other man shook his head and said helplessly: "I have advised you to eat well, but you don't listen, you really deserve it." ”
"I'm going to get some water, you watch her, don't let her run."
"Okay, you go and get back quickly."
"Hmm."
The man who shook his head left quickly after speaking, he was also afraid that this stupid girl would choke him to death, in this case, Mo Chuqing would have to blame them for not doing well!
After a while, the man who shook his head hurriedly ran to the firewood room with a copper-colored iron kettle.
He didn't care about resting, and hurriedly poured white water into Lu Manman's bowl for her to drink.
He was so angry that he threatened her, saying, "Drink quickly, and then eat slowly, and if you dare to eat so quickly, I will beat you!" ”
The kind-hearted man persuaded: "Okay, don't be angry with this girl, let's eat first, you eat slowly." ”
After speaking, the two strong men walked out of the firewood room one after the other, and then "bang" is that the door of the firewood room was closed.
It's been a long walk, and while eating, you can hear the sound of them locking the door.
She divided a plate of green vegetables and a pot of fragrant braised pork ribs by two, and she didn't know whether this meal was breakfast or lunch.
I guess it's lunch with vegetables and meat, otherwise no one would take this dry rice for breakfast.
She put the chopsticks down and stood up shaking her arms and thighs.
Who knows how long she was tied up?
Now she had some difficulty even standing up, and her limbs were sore and weak, as if she had been run over by a carriage.
No, it must have been run over by the carriage back and forth to cause such an injury.
She turned around slowly, and saw the blood stains on the pyre, and she didn't know where it came from.
It wasn't until she scratched her head and thought about it that she felt something was wrong with the back of her head.
It's sticky, it's thick, maybe you just had a hallucination of hunger and didn't feel it.
She touched it again, and her neck was also very cold, and the hard blood stains on her neck made her feel a little stiff when she twisted her neck.
She came back to her senses and collapsed to the ground, why was there so much blood?
Why didn't she feel pain?
What's wrong with her?
Is she dying?
She didn't want to die yet...... She hasn't avenged her mother, grandfather, and grandmother......
As soon as Lu Manman thought of this, she burst into tears again.
The choking sound was heard outside.
Those two strong men were really worried about her.
They thought to themselves, "What's going on here?" Why did you get into trouble again? Do you want to open the door and go in and have a look?
They are very entangled in the matter of whether to open the door or not.
