Chapter 3 Salvia
Just as she was struggling with hunger and hardship in all kinds of pain, she heard footsteps in her ears, to be precise, the crisp sound of her feet stepping on the dead branches and the broken branches.
But after a while, someone really walked over, she was lying in swaddling clothes, her vision was not very good, she only vaguely felt that there was a figure, she couldn't see clearly, and the other party didn't notice her existence, and she couldn't be sure who the other party was for a while.
"Hahaha, I actually picked a salvia with a good vintage, not bad, not bad." The man said happily.
Just listening to the voice, it seems to be a little old, it should be an old person, salvia, that is the name of the medicinal herb, I am sure that this must be a medicine picker, she has waited here for so long, before she finally waited for someone, no matter whether the other party is a good person or a bad person, this must be her only chance, otherwise, she will really starve to death here.
Immediately decided, opened his mouth and began to cry, this cry, only to feel the hoarseness of the voice, and the discomfort of the throat, this is a lack of water, she didn't know how long she was thirsty before, only she woke up for a long time, yes, if she can't be rescued, there may be a way to die, that is, death by thirst.
In the middle of this deep mountain, suddenly heard a baby's cry, the herb picker could not help but be surprised, looked up, looked around, his eyes soon inquired about the sound, fell on the swaddling clothes of the branches, immediately raised his feet and walked over, very carefully stretched out his hands, carefully took off the swaddling clothes from the branches, held them in his arms, and then lowered his head and looked at the child in his arms.
After being held in the arms of the other party, Yang Yile didn't cry, after all, crying consumes physical strength and spirit, but she raised her eyes to look at the other party, and she could see it clearly at this time, the other party is about fifty years old, her hair and beard are a little gray, and she may be older, she is a little difficult to judge for a while, except for her age, her face is quite kind, and she looks at it as a kind old man, she is a little relieved.
It's just that...... With a slight hesitation in his heart, this old man's hair was tied in a bun on his head, but he was dressed in the costume of an ancient man......
And the old man held her in his arms, and at a glance he could see that her condition was not very good, her lips were chapped, her eyes were blank, her mouth was yawning, all of them were tired, he hurriedly opened the swaddling clothes and checked her clothes, and found that there were no scars, so he stared at her chapped lips twice, and then took off the water bladder he was carrying.
Water bladder, Yang Yile's eyes couldn't help flashing, such a thing with a sense of age, she has only seen it in film and television dramas, but this old man is really used as a daily necessities, she has a bad premonition in her heart, but then she thought that she can change from an adult to a baby, such an unbelievable thing has happened, and in a different era of life, this kind of thing should not be surprising.
The old man probably also knew that the baby was probably not very good at drinking water from the water bladder, so he took out a machete from the back of his back, looked around, cut a thin bamboo the thickness of an adult's finger, broke it into two pieces, barely used it as a spoon, poured some water into it, and fed it to her mouth.
She was already thirsty, the water was fed to her mouth, and she drank it with her mouth open, spoonful after spoonful, people kept feeding, she drank non-stop, and drank for a while, feeling a little full in her stomach, she closed her mouth and turned her head to the side, only to feel more and more sad in her heart, what kind of angry and resentful thing did she do, so that she could only mix with water and be full now.
Seeing that she was so good to feed, the old man had a smile on his face, reached out and patted her on the back, and said with a smile: "I don't have anything to eat for you at this time, and when we get out of the mountain, I am looking for someone to ask for some rice porridge for you to drink." ”
As soon as she heard the other party mention rice porridge, she mixed a full stomach, and then felt hungry again, she knew that this was not physical hunger, the water just now, could make her barely hold on for a while, she was psychologically hungry, because she had been hungry for a long time, she felt that she was probably hungry, and when she heard the food, she couldn't help but want to drool, the feeling of being hungry was really uncomfortable, and she didn't want to be hungry for the rest of her life.
But the old man held her, found a place to sit down, took out a cake from his arms, put it to his mouth and took a bite, the cake seemed to be a little hard, he took a bite with great strength, and slowly chewed it.
Yang Yile's eyes are green, there are cakes to eat, hey!
As if noticing her gaze, the old man couldn't help but smile lightly, reached out and nodded her forehead, and said with a smile: "This cake is too hard, you can't eat this, eating inappropriate things, it's not easy to digest, and it hurts your stomach, you still need to know how to take care of your body." ”
She also knew that she couldn't eat this thing, she was too small, she didn't even have teeth, this thing was swallowed in pieces, maybe she would choke to death, and besides, her current body, it was estimated that she had never eaten anything else except milk, and she ate this rashly, I was afraid that she would be unwell and cause symptoms of illness.
"I see that you have stayed for a long time, and we are not good at staying in this mountain for a long time, so we still have to hurry down the mountain and find something for you to eat, and if you don't eat something hot, you will be hungry." The old man ate the cake in two bites, picked up the water bladder and drank a few large mouthfuls of water, and then put the medicine on his back and carried her forward.
Only along the way, he kept talking: "You said that you are so young, why did you come to this mountain, I don't know where your parents are, why did they leave you behind, look at your swaddling clothes, and holding a hairpin in your hand, it doesn't look like a family that can't afford to raise children, how did you leave you, okay, in such an old forest, I can also meet you, this is also the fate of the two of us, I am alone, I have never married a wife, and I have no children or daughters, since I am so fated with you, you will be a granddaughter for me!" ”
Speaking of this, his face couldn't help but bring out some joy, he had never thought of raising a child before, but after picking up the child, he found that the child was really well-behaved, except for a few tears at the beginning, he has been quiet, staring at him with his eyes open, indescribably cute, but also soft as water.
Even if he wanted to adopt the child, his expression couldn't help but be a little solemn: "Before I found out that you were picking a salvia, I will make a name for you with salvia, Du Danshen, this name sounds good!" ”
Du Danshen, my new name, she listened to this name, her heart was at peace, and she swayed all the way, then closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
