Chapter 557: Who Cut Your Tongues?
From this day on, Bai Qianfan was trapped in the cave, and only the woman and her mother-in-law came in and out every day, delivering food, cleaning up the house, emptying the commode, incense, and doing repetitive and boring work, but never saying a word.
Bai Qianfan still took the trouble to ask all kinds of questions, and the woman only showed surprise on the first day, and then she looked calm, as if she was not used to seeing it.
The owner here has never shown up, so much so that Bai Qianfan wonders if he has forgotten about them.
Forgetting can't be forgotten, it's just hanging her, slowly wearing off her spirit and fighting spirit, and then coming to clean her up.
The other party recuperates, she can't be idle, she turned out a tough dress in the cabinet, and used it to tie Xiao Shizi to herself, the child is getting heavier and heavier day by day, and it is more and more laborious to hold it, in this place full of unknowns and dangers, she doesn't dare to leave him half a step, and she ties him to her body when she sleeps at night.
Xiao Shizi is also good, when he came here, he didn't cry a word, he didn't make noise when he was hungry at night, he lifted his mother's clothes to feed, and when he was full, he knew to tear off her clothes, and obediently closed his eyes to sleep.
Bai Qianfan secretly lowered his eyes to look at him, feeling relieved for his understanding, and at the same time a little sad, it was she who was not good enough to let such a young child suffer with her.
Trapped in this ghost place, he didn't know the time, and there was no day or night, so Bai Qianfan used his fingernails to mark on the wall, and set the day according to the number of times the food was delivered. The wall was hard, and it took a lot of force to scratch the mark, and after a few cuts, her neatly manicured nails became jagged. But that's nothing, hard dirt has its own merits.
The curtain rang, the woman and the mother-in-law brought food in, Bai Qianfan didn't need them to greet her, she consciously sat down at the table, picked up the chopsticks and began to eat, the mother-in-law stood by the door with her hands down, and the woman made dishes for her as usual, there were not many dishes, but they were quite exquisite, and the taste was good.
She was eating, and suddenly there was a sound, the chopsticks fell to the ground, holding her stomach and bending over, looking very painful, the woman was startled, and asked her what was wrong with the gesture?
Bai Qianfan thought to herself, grandma's, can't you talk well if you're still playing dumb riddles with her at this time?
The woman did not speak, and she resolutely did not speak, for fear of nesting the child, so she simply sat on the ground with her butt and wrinkled her brows tightly, looking extremely uncomfortable.
The woman was a little anxious, so she ran to the bookcase and took a brush and wrote a line of words and handed it to her, which read: Where are you uncomfortable?
The characters are well written, and they are very regular and regular, as if they have been practiced. Bai Qianfan glanced at it, bared his teeth and asked, "Why would you rather write than speak?" ”
The woman opened her mouth very calmly, Bai Qianfan looked at it, and gasped, it turned out that it was not that the woman didn't speak, it was that she didn't have a tongue and couldn't speak at all.
She felt that her tongue was also knotted, and stammered and pointed at the woman: "She, she, too, can't speak?" ”
The woman nodded, pointed to the words on the paper, and insisted on asking her what was wrong?
Bai Qianfan looked indignant, "Who cut off your tongue?" Is it the master here, who is he? ”
Woman: "......"
"Why? Are you afraid that you will leak your mouth? ”
Woman: "......"
"Are the guards outside mute too?"
Woman: "......"
"Forget it," Bai Qianfan asked behind, he was also a little depressed, and climbed up on the table, "I know you won't say, I'm tired, I want to rest, you go out." ”
The woman gestured to her mother-in-law, and the two of them packed up the dishes and chopsticks together, and soon went out.
After a while, the woman came in again, patted Bai Qianfan, who was already lying on the bed, and stretched out her hand to her.
Bai Qianfan was inexplicable, "What do you want?" ”
The woman gestured, Bai Qianfan shook her head, she looked very dazed, the woman had no choice but to go to the bookcase and write and show it to her.
There are two words written on the paper: spoon.
Bai Qianfan asked, "What spoon?" I don't have a spoon. ”
The woman took the trouble to point to the words on the paper over and over again, telling her to hand over the spoon.
Bai Qianfan was very helpless, spread his hands and said, "I don't have a spoon, how can I give it to you?" After saying that, he ignored her, lay down on his side, and turned his back to her.
The woman stood quietly in front of the bed for a while, then turned and went out.
Bai Qianfan lay down and didn't move, pricked up her ears to listen to the movement, and after a while, the curtain rang very softly, it seemed that someone was peeking at the door, she closed her eyes, motionless, for a long time, the curtain rang very softly, and it seemed that the peeking person was gone.
The nights here are always very long, Bai Qianfan has no intention of sleeping, quietly sat up, untied Xiao Shizi and put him on the bed, stayed for a few days, she knew that no one would come in at this time, she had to take the opportunity to do something.
Xiao Shizi couldn't get too far from her, just within reach, her cat was on the ground, lifted the buffalo skin on the ground, and dug the dirt underneath with the spoon she had stolen from the chaos. The soil was solid, she tried it with her hands, but she couldn't dig it, she could only find something hard to dig up, it was still difficult, she got some water to soak it in, and when the soil was a little soft, she quickly took a spoon and dug it out.
This soil is also a little interesting, it is a little warm in her hand, although it seeps into it, it will soon become dry again, she puts the soil dug down into her sleeve one by one, as lead bullet, which can also come in handy at critical moments. The spoon is broken in two with a foot, revealing a sharp edge, and can also be used as a weapon.
There was only one lamp left in the house, and from the number of lamps it could be inferred that it was night, and combined with the time of the three meals, it was basically the same as the days she counted, although the days were like years, but she had been here for seven days.
There is a question, she has always been unable to understand, in the cave, there are no windows, the only exit is the door, and there are heavy curtains all year round, but why doesn't she feel panicked?
There should be a vent, otherwise you'll suffocate to death if you stay for a long time.
She took the lamp and looked around, and when she looked around, it was all thick walls, and there were no holes the size of fingers. She sighed, went back to the bed to fold the quilt for Xiao Shizi, leaned over and kissed him, looking at her lovely son, her strength came up again, she couldn't sit and wait for death, she had to find a way.
But what can I do, I sighed silently to the sky, and when I saw the top, my eyes lit up, and I looked at the four walls and the ground carefully, only the top is not there, will it be ......
The furniture was made of sour wood, very heavy, she could move it, but she couldn't stack the small table on the big table by herself, it was not high enough, how could she reach the top?
She stood on the ground and sighed, touched her chin and thought, and in a blink of an eye saw the pillar rising from the ground, and had an idea, she was a good hand at climbing trees, although she had lived a good life of fine clothes and food for two years, but she did not throw down these skills. Rubbing his hands, he climbed the pillar and slowly moved up with his legs between them.
The top is not high, you can touch it with your hands after climbing for a while, the top is covered with small bamboo, revealing a small square pit, she raised her neck to look carefully, and touched it with her hands, and finally found a vent for her, but it is not big, only the size of her arm, it is impossible to get out.
