Chapter 001: Rice Soup

Next Chapter

Lin Wei was woken up by hunger.

Her stomach was rumbling, she felt weak, her whole body was like a ball of cotton, and she didn't know where she was.

The aroma of rice soup lingered on the tip of her nose, and it seemed to ripple in circles, and her whole stomach roared.

He closed his eyes and looked up for the smell, but he fell back again, the back of his head hitting the pillow full of wheat bran, and something seemed to buzz in his ears.

This time, I really woke up.

The room was warm, but it didn't feel the slightest heat.

There is a casserole pot on the stove below the edge of the kang, and the rice soup in the pot is bubbling with sticky bubbles.

Lin Wei sat up with difficulty, the unfamiliar environment made her panic a little, but the fatigue and hunger all over her body made her panic slowly reduce a little, she didn't have time to look carefully, and her eyes were already uncontrollably stuck to the casserole on the stove.

"Ahem...... cough cough cough ......"

She couldn't help but swallow hard, and the dryness of her throat made her cough heavily.

As the cough sounded, there was a rush of footsteps, and someone lifted the curtain and came in front of her in a few steps, patting her on the back with one hand to help her breathe.

The rough palm swiped, and Lin Wei could even feel that the hand seemed to be covered with thorns, and every friction with the clothes brought a subtle sound.

When she was still stunned, this person had already howled in surprise: "Wei'er! You're finally awake, but you're scared to death! How's it going? Still want to cough? Don't be afraid, my mother will pat you, and you won't cough if you pat it. ”

Lin Wei raised her eyes and saw that this was a black thin woman in her thirties, with sallow skin, sparse eyebrows, a pair of eyes that were very godly, high cheekbones, a hooked nose and a long face, thin lips without blood, and deep nasolabial folds on both sides, which looked a little mean.

At this time, the woman who should be mean gently took Lin Wei in her arms, and while caressing her chest to help smooth her breath, she kept chattering: "Mother's baby girl, you have slept for three days, but your mother is frightened, if you really have three long and two short!" My mother doesn't want to live anymore! ”

Lin Weigang's brain, which was a little more sober, began to get confused again, and his ears seemed to be stuck by something, which was very uncomfortable.

"Water ......"

Lin Wei exerted all his strength and finally spit out what he was about to say.

The woman, who was still talking noisily, reacted when she heard Lin's weak shout, stuffed a pillow behind her, sat down against the wall, and then hurriedly turned around and went to the table in the middle of the room to pour hot water.

I carefully tested the water temperature, and after confirming that it was the right warmth, I brought it to Lin Wei with a smile on my face, and handed it to her mouth to feed her to drink: "My mother is so happy, I forgot it for a while, are you thirsty?" The water is lukewarm, so it's just right to drink it now. ”

Lin Wei lowered his head slightly and drank it slowly, one by one, until he drank the whole glass of water, then he took a breath of relief and looked at the strange woman again.

The woman raised her hand on Lin Wei's forehead for a while before saying, "Thank God, I finally don't burn it, drink some water to moisten my throat first, my mother boiled rice soup, it's very fragrant, isn't it?" Wei'er must be hungry, my mother will go and get a bowl to feed you, wait. ”

After the woman finished speaking, she went out without looking back, leaving Lin Wei to sit alone against the wall, her mouth slightly open, and her chest was floating up and down at this time, showing that she had not completely eased up.

But her eyes did not stop, and she began to look around the furnishings in the room.

The room is small, square, with a half-worn wardrobe at the foot of the wall and a locked old box next to it.

In the middle was a round wooden table, with a lame leg and a stone cushion, and a few wooden benches scattered around it.

There was half a candle on the table, and the wax was dripping everywhere, and next to it was a small embroidered basket, and a teapot, and four cups.

The stove on her side was connected to the earthen kang, and the kang was very warm, and under her was an old mattress made of several pieces of red broken cloth, and a few small patches were made, and the edge of the mattress was against the edge of the kang to expose a small half of the broken straw mat.

She was leaning against the wall of the kang at this time.

The walls are pitted, and some fine pieces of dry thatch can be seen in a few sunken places, and I think this wall must be made of thatch and mud.

Some resemble the mud houses where she lived in her grandmother's house in the countryside when she was a child.

Lin Wei looked down at what he was wearing at this time, and thought about the dress of the woman who had just gone out, and couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.

The clothes look like they were from ancient times, and she didn't study history well when she was in school, so she couldn't tell which era it was.

But it's certain that this isn't the era she lived in before.

Lin Wei gently closed his eyes and gasped.

Why is she here?

The woman called her Wei'er, and claimed to be her mother.

But she was sure that she didn't know her, and that she hadn't been to this place, or that she could have been.

Her memory is clear.

Before waking up, I was sitting on the bus, on the way to visit relatives in Jiaocheng with my parents.

She has a good relationship with her parents, and the family talks and laughs along the way.

Afterward......

In a car accident, the entire bus flew out of the bridge and rushed directly into the sea.

She can swim, but she can't stand the long period of lack of oxygen and the freezing cold sea water in winter.

Coupled with the pain caused by the car accident, she saw her parents close their eyes in front of her one after another, and finally couldn't hold on to fainting.

I woke up and appeared here.

She thought, she must have crossed over.

And what about her parents?

Did you come to this world too?

As an atheist, she actually has some disbelief.

However, the facts are in front of us.

Lin Wei reopened his eyes, raised his hand, and carefully looked at the back of his palm and hand a few times.

It was indeed not her hand.

The hands in front of me are very slender, the skin is also very tender, and the nails are very neatly trimmed, revealing a ruddy and translucent color.

These are a pair of children's hands, these hands are very beautiful, and they should not have done rough work.

She looked at the room again, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

It seems that such a pair of hands should not appear in this place right now.

The woman came in with the curtain lifted again, and a tray in her hand.

When he got closer, Lin Wei saw that there was an empty bowl and spoon and two small plates of pickles on the plate.

The woman placed the tray on the edge of the kang and scooped a large bowl of rice soup from the casserole on the stove.

"Mother blows it for you, and then feeds you when it's cooler."

Lin Wei looked at the woman quietly, saw that she blew away the hot air of the rice soup very seriously, and carefully handed it to her mouth.

She lowered her head and put it in her mouth, swallowed it slowly, and once again looked expectantly into the bowl that the woman was holding.

The woman handed over another spoonful, and couldn't help but admonish, "Drink it slowly, it's still a little hot." ”

Lin Wei nodded slightly, and ate a few spoonfuls in succession, swallowing slowly and savoring carefully.

The fragrant rice soup was warm and soft and glutinous, and she felt that her stomach was screaming as if it was about to be twisted into a twist, and it slowly unfolded with this mouthful of hot soup.
