Chapter 15: Escape
"Huh? Oh. She didn't really care, but now she was worried about another problem.
This room is not very large, the floor is very flat with straw mats, and it will sink slightly when you step on it, and it seems that there is another layer underneath. On one side of the door was a low shelf with straw baskets and wooden chests. On the opposite wall, there is a high horizontal window, and three futons are stacked underneath.
In the middle of the room is a small square table.
The habit here should be to sleep on the floor.
She walked to the corner and sat on the quilt, probably because of the direct contact with the ground, it was as cold as frosted tofu. She snapped and immediately bounced off again.
Hachi put on the doors and windows, moved the table to the side, and picked a clean futon to spread on the ground.
While he was doing these things, Chihiro accosted him.
"What did you say to the man?" She lowered her head, played with the cloth strap on her chest, and added, "I don't understand a word of what the people here are saying. ”
Xiao Hachi paused, and said casually: I told the man that we are brothers and sisters from the next county, and we will stay for one night. I could only understand half of what he said, and the remaining half was even guessed. ”
"That's amazing!" Chihiro applauded him.
"Every time you go to an unfamiliar sub-world, the language barrier is the first difficulty."
"That's right, that's right!" Chihiro's drum is even more energetic.
He glanced back, then turned his head indifferently: "So, before you master the language, you'd better talk less."
"Hmm...... What the? Chihiro's eyes widened, Hachi's turn was too urgent, "I don't even have the right to speak anymore?" ”
How many years will it take for her to learn the local language!
"It's not that I won't let you say it, I'm just afraid that you will be misunderstood by the people here and cause some contradictions." Hachi was worried that something similar had happened to one of his masters before.
The exhaustion of her body makes Chihiro not plan to go deeper into this issue with Hachi, but the upset is indeed real. She sat down on the quilt and lay down on it.
Facing the wall, she closed her eyes and ended today's conversation: "Good night." ”
She was so sleepy.
The cold air in the quilt made the woman hook into a shrimp. Hachi looked at Chihiro sleeping soundly and put his hand into the bed.
The fair-skinned and clean hands quickly warmed up to the right temperature, and the woman's body stretched out.
After doing everything, he pressed the corners of the quilt, turned around and found a corner to sit, took off his gold-rimmed glasses, closed his eyes, and leaned lightly against the wall.
The robot does not need to sleep, but standby requires energy, and today he has consumed too much.
Set the time to turn on, and he fell into a deep sleep.
The thin paper window did not block the strong sunlight, and a large cloud of sparkling light shone directly on Chihiro's face.
Outside the window, the old hen clucked incessantly, and the yellow dog in the yard occasionally responded.
She opened her eyes, yawned, and stared blankly at the roof.
Where is this?
After a while, her IQ finally returned, hugged the quilt, and slowly sat up.
Xu slept too much, Chihiro rubbed his aching head, swept around, and found that Hachi was not there.
"Hachi?" After screaming twice, she quickly covered her mouth as if she remembered something.
Yesterday, Xiaoba also instructed her to talk less.
But really, why did she listen to him so much!
By the door was a neatly folded set of cotton clothes and a pair of brand new cloth shoes.
She flipped through it, confirmed that it was for herself, and immediately changed her clothes.
The size is just right, the silk short coat with the red skirt, this set is much younger than the previous one, and the important thing is that it is also a little warmer than before, she turned around with satisfaction.
But...... Carrying her skirt, she went to the window, opened the window, and looked closely.
"Is Hachi really not here?"
In the courtyard, only the woman from yesterday was chopping chicken food.
After observing for a while, she closed the window and sat back on the covers, contemplating the possibility of a successful escape.
To be honest, she really didn't want to go back to that horrible place without a boat.
She still couldn't help but think about what had happened in the forbidden land, and she didn't think much about going back when she thought of how she had almost lost her life again and again.
It's really evil if you don't tie the boat!
As for the mining task, her teammate who doesn't know anything and only knows how to eat is just dragging Hachi back, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it along the way. So if you run away, you shouldn't have any problems, right?
Sighing, she lay down.
If you run away like this, will you never be able to get your memories back? Who the hell is she? What is your name? Are those painful memories real?
Also, what if Hachi finds out that she has escaped? If she was caught, would he pull her for experiments?
After thinking about it for a while, she didn't figure out anything, but she didn't want to stay here anymore.
She wants to live like a normal person, and when she opens her eyes every day, she can see such sunshine.
Stretching out her hand, the sunlight shuttled through her fair fingertips, hitting her skin and reddening slightly.
It's so beautiful, this color of life.
The warmth of the sun gave Chihiro great courage, and she bounced up, wrapped up her old clothes, put on new shoes, opened the door and rushed out.
She knew that there would be many problems if she wanted to live in this world, such as language, such as shelter, but the opportunity to escape was in front of her, and she was willing to take the risk and try.
When she passed by the pot table, she saw that the side of the pot was still steaming, hesitated, lifted the lid of the pot, took away the only two white-flour steamed buns, grabbed a steamer cloth from the shelf on the side, wrapped the white steamed buns, put them in the package, and went out.
These two steamed buns will be recorded in Xiaoba's account!
The woman in the courtyard happened to have her back to Chihiro, and she had been burying her head in chopping chicken food.
God help me! She thought happily, and cautiously came to the gate of the courtyard, and put her hand on the door.
With a gentle push and then a dodge out, she was free.
Suddenly, the courtyard door opened.
The two people in front of him didn't seem to expect it, and the three of them were startled at the same time.
The little eight-eyed beads behind the man seemed to be quenched poison, and Chihiro was poisoned.
She bowed her head weakly, put her hands behind her back, and took a step back to make way for the two people outside the door.
But the man didn't leave, but stopped at the door and babbled something.
Chihiro felt as if she was saying that to herself.
Hachi babbled in the back, and the two of them entered the door and walked towards the firewood room with a hoe.
I can't run now.
Chihiro nodded to the woman who had already noticed the movement, and ran back to the room.
The woman behind her was babbling something, and it seemed that she was still a little eager!
The eldest lady is embarrassed, she Chihiro really can't understand a word.
When he returned to the room, he took out the steamed bun in frustration, pulled off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
The taste is not good, and you can occasionally eat unground wheat grains.
