Chapter 1: Escape
"Wow, wow, wow......" Mu Xiu was woken up by a baby's cry, and when she opened her eyes, the intense pain made her reach out and touch her forehead, which was emitting pain.
"Shhh Mu Xiu gasped, she actually touched a hard bag bigger than an egg, and when she was still in a daze, a strange and anxious female voice called: "Xiu, Xiu......"
Before Mu Xiu came back to her senses, the female voice sounded over her head again, but it sounded very weak.
"Xiu, are you alright? Elegant! Come here! ”
Mu Xiu raised his head.... Her posture was in intimate contact with the earth......
The first thing that caught her eye was a clay kang made of dirt, which looked very shabby, and on the clay kang was now sitting a thin woman with a pale face, messy hair, and sweat on her forehead.
Mu Xiu just glanced at it, and she was sure that she had never seen this woman.
But how did she know her name? Before Mu Xiu could ask, the woman's voice rang out again.
"Xiu, come to my mother's place, quickly hold Xiao Nannan and find a place to hide, go quickly, Xiu, whether your sister can survive or not depends on you." Zhou Shuilian's eyes fell on Mu Xiu eagerly, with a hint of panic in her tone.
Just now, Mu Xiu fell to the ground as soon as she entered the door, she called a few times, but there was no movement, Zhou Shuilian dragged her weak body and just moved to the side of the kang, Mu Xiu woke up, and Zhou Shuilian was slightly relieved.
It's just that Zhou Shuilian can't care about comforting Mu Xiu, who is carrying a big bag on her head, because she has more important things to do.
A baby wrapped in a torn dress that couldn't be seen clearly was held by Zhou Shuilian and handed it in the direction of Mu Xiu.
Mother?? Younger sister?? What is this??
Mu Xiu's brain was blank, but he involuntarily got up from the ground and reached out to take the baby, as soon as Zhou Shuilian let go, Mu Xiu felt that his hand was sinking, and he was about to drop the baby to the ground.
This baby is so heavy? Mu Xiu didn't prepare for a while, her entire upper body leaned forward, and she was almost pressed to let go of her hand.
No way! Mu Xiu looked down at the baby in his arms, the baby wrapped in his old clothes was not an inch, thin and pitiful, and there was not a few taels of flesh on his body.
It's just that as his gaze shifted, Mu Xiu's eyes widened suddenly, and his eyes fell on the arms holding the baby, is that still called an arm? It is clearly two bones wrapped in only one layer of skin.
What made her even more ridiculous was that it turned out to be her arm! When did she become so thin? What the hell is going on?!
"Xiu, it's all bad for your mother, let you fall so hard, you hurry up and take the little girl to hide first, and when your father arrives home, you will come back, go quickly, hurry up!" After the woman who had just given birth on the bed said this, she was anxious and tired, her eyelids rolled, and she fainted.
Mu Xiu hugged the baby, dumbfounded, she was dreaming, yes, she must be dreaming.
But soon a shrill female voice came from the back window, reminding her that this was not a dream.
"Mother, I heard the cry of a child just now, shouldn't it be the second child?"
"How is it possible, can she not cry pain when she gives birth to a child?" Another old voice rang out.
"Mother, the second family has given birth to a few girls, and regeneration is not as simple as laying eggs, let's go and take a look, lest the second uncle come back and blame us."
"He dares!" The old female voice was a little sharp.
"Mother, let's go take a look, don't let you give birth to another money-losing goods, you are too scared to squeak." When the sharp female voice said this, there was a faint schadenfreude in her tone.
"Yumei, you're right, if you really give birth, if you're still a girl, you have to drown quickly, and there is no extra food at home to treat the freak."
As soon as the words fell, Mu Xiu heard the footsteps of the two of them walking towards the door from back to front.
Mu Xiuzheng was surprised, what age is this, and there is still patriarchal thinking, and ...... Isn't it illegal to kill someone? She looked at the woman who had fainted on the bed, and she didn't know anything at the moment, but listening to the two women didn't look like good people, so she should listen to her first, after all, this mother would never pit her own child, so Mu Xiu ran towards the door with the child in her arms.
Just when Mu Xiu ran to the gate, he didn't forget to look at the back, and saw the figures of the two women turning from the back of the house to the front of the door, they didn't find Mu Xiu who had left with the child in his arms, but walked straight towards the house.
In a few moments, two screams rang out in the room.
Mu Xiu hugged the baby in her arms, rushed out of the door, looked around, and ran forward along the path not far away, so that even if she didn't know the road, when it got dark, she could sneak over the same way to see if the woman said that her father had returned.
Finally walked out of the path, Mu Xiu gasped and squatted on the ground, she really couldn't walk.
Mu Xiu panted and looked around, and she noticed that there was a broken grass house with half of the roof missing not far ahead.
Such a dilapidated house, there must have been no one to live in it for a long time, Mu Xiu took a deep breath, stood up, and walked towards the house slowly, hiding in this dilapidated grass house first, and waiting until it was dark.
Mu Xiu pushed open the dilapidated door, and suddenly there was a "squeak" sound in the silence, which startled Mu Xiu, it turned out to be the sound of the door.
Mu Xiu settled down, slowly put his head into it a little, and looked inside, the inside of the house was different from the outside, the inside was quite clean, it was now noon, and the bright sunlight shone into the house along the broken part of the roof, dispelling the fear in Mu Xiu's heart.
Fortunately, there is sunshine, otherwise she is still a little scared to let Mu Xiu stay in this kind of house, at this time, Mu Xiu is very tired, her steps are very heavy, and there is a dull pain in her head.
Mu Xiu didn't care to think about why in such a dilapidated house, the house was not only very tidy, but also had daily necessities...... She just wants to rest now.
Mu Xiu walked into the house panting with the baby in her arms, first gently placed the baby on the neat bed in the middle of the house, and then turned around to cover the broken door.
It was only then that Mu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, she looked at the baby lying on the bed, and saw the baby's wrinkled face, eyes closed, silent.
In Mu Xiu's cognition, a baby is a creature that cries non-stop, how can it be so quiet, should it be ...... Mu Xiu's trembling fingers slowly approached the lower end of the baby's nose, and when he felt the faint breath, he breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that the baby was just asleep.
Mu Xiu sat on the edge of the bed, and it took a while to regain his strength, and finally had time to start thinking, who I am, where I am, and what am I doing......
