Chapter 297: Living in a Mountain Village
It is a small village built on the mountain, with only a few dozen families, and each house is separated by a distance, ranging from hundreds of meters to several kilometers.
There is only one path hanging next to the cliff that leads to the outside world.
Young people have gone to other places to study or work, and only the elderly and left-behind children of all sizes can be seen in the village.
The old lady and the little boy helped Lin Wei back to their home, a simple three-room tiled house with low stone walls.
Lin Wei felt very kind when she saw it, because this house and layout were quite similar to Li Xian's home in Banpo Town.
The old lady was called Lao Shanmao by the villagers, and the little boy was a little over five years old, and his name was Shishi.
The life of the people in the mountains is hard, and the meals prepared by the old mountain milk for Lin Wei are just vegetable dumplings and corn paste.
But for the hungry Lin Wei, it was a rare delicacy in the world, and she was not polite, she grabbed it and ate it.
"Sister, this is the candy I saved during the Chinese New Year, you eat it!"
"Sister, this is the assembling toy that my father gave me when he came back from work, you can play!"
"Sister, are you a fairy on TV? It's so pretty! β
Xiaoshi was still shy in front of Lin Wei at first, but he got acquainted with her very well, chattering around her, eager to give her all the fun things.
Seeing that the old mountain grandmother was cleaning up the yard, Lin Wei hurriedly walked over to catch the broom in her hand and said, "Grandma, I'll come!" β
The warm courtyard and the simple grandparents and grandchildren all made her restless heart more and more calm.
"Girl, where is your home? What about your family? The old mountain milk asked again.
"Grandma, I don't have a home, and I don't have a family anymoreβ" Lin Wei said gloomily, "I have nowhere to go." β
"If that's the case, then you'll live in our house first." Lao Shanma said generously, "My daughter-in-law thought that the family was poor a few years ago, and she ran away from home, and her son also went out to work, and she didn't come back all year round, only me and Shishi." β
"Thank you so much grandma!" Lin Wei said happily.
In any case, there is no need for a person to stumble around like a fly without a head.
She is afraid of being alone, she is even more afraid of her demonized self, and she cherishes this feeling of "being a new person".
From this day on, Lin Wei tried to maintain a relaxed and happy attitude, not thinking about her past life, especially Li Xian - she knew that she couldn't stand a little stimulation now, and once she was stimulated, she might be demonized again.
That night, the old mountain grandmother arranged for her to sleep in a simple but clean hut.
"Sister, if you are scared at night, hold it to sleep." Little Stone ran in with a big rag doll.
Looking at the shabby but cute rag doll, Lin Wei took it in her hand and stroked the little stone's brain and thanked her repeatedly.
"My mother bought it for me, and I named it Mom, and I held it every day as if Mom was still with me." "But now I don't need it, so let's give it a name that my sister likes." β
"Well, let's call it Li Daxian." Although she deliberately wanted to forget about Li Xian, she couldn't help but blurt out.
Li Daxian is the name of the little villain.
Li Xian is with Li Daxian every day, and she is also with "Li Daxian" every day, so that it is as if they also live together every day - Lin Wei thought of this, her cheeks were slightly hot, and between her eyebrows and eyes, a happy smile unconsciously appeared.
"Sister, you look so good when you smile, you must like Li Daxian very much, just like Shi likes his mother." Small Stone Road.
"Go to sleep, my sister is going to take a bath." Lin Wei said with a smile.
It was inconvenient to take a bath in the mountain village, but the old mountain grandmother saw that Lin Wei was in the dust, so she boiled a big wooden basin of hot water for her, and took out the clean clothes that Xiaoshi's mother left at home for her to wear.
Sitting in the wooden basin, Lin Wei took a bath comfortably, it was the first time since the demonization that she took a hot bath so happily.
When she wiped herself, Lin Wei picked up the mirror and looked at her back, she remembered that in the no-man's land, poachers had shot her in the back...... At a glance, Lin Wei was dumbfounded, not only did there be no injuries on her smooth back, but there were no slight scars.
Puzzled, Lin Wei was busy inspecting other parts of her body, for a period of time, she had been injured almost every day, bleeding was a common thing, but now, those injuries were healed, and there was no trace.
While it was a good thing that she wasn't hurt, she still felt a heaviness in her heart - the more of this anomaly on her body, the farther away she was from her "human" identity.
Maybe I'm not human anymore!
Since she was a child, she has not been an unconventional person, she doesn't like to be in the limelight, she just wants to be the one who stands in the crowd and will not be discovered at a glance, she just wants to be an ordinary person, live an ordinary life, and have ordinary happiness - but this ordinary dream is becoming more and more difficult to achieve.
After taking a shower, Lin Wei changed into the ill-fitting clothes of Mother Stone, and sat in front of the mirror and combed her long black hair.
At night, the mountain village is exceptionally quiet, only the whistling wind from the mountain beams can be heard, and the occasional old dog barks like a dream.
Hearing this, Lin Wei felt very down-to-earth for no reason.
"It's a pity, it's a pity, it's the first time I've seen such a stunning beauty, it's a pity that I missed watching her take a bath!" A voice sounded behind Lin Wei.
Lin Wei was startled and hurriedly turned her head to look.
Next to the large wooden basin that had not yet been emptied, there was a miscellaneous ghost in his fifties, muttering to himself with a regretful expression.
He was in a state of nothingness, thinking that humans couldn't see him, and he didn't panic when he saw Lin Wei turn his head, but stared at Lin Wei's face and commented: "This face is too peugeot!" β
"Hey, what do you want to do!" Lin Wei said vigilantly.
At this point, the half-ghost still didn't believe that Lin Wei saw him, he looked back behind him, and after confirming that there was no one else at the scene, he said incredulously: "You, you can actually see me?" Can you hear me?! β
"Get out of here!" Lin Wei reprimanded, "I have incendiary pills and magic weapons, be careful that I burn you!" β
"Oh my God, this is a master! Disrespectful, disrespectful! The half-ghost was so frightened that he went straight through the wall and fled.
From Lin Wei's hands, I don't know how many half-ghosts she tore apart, so she wasn't afraid.
What she was afraid of was that when she encountered such a half-ghost with bad intentions, she would not be able to control her demonization again...... It's so easy for me to settle down here, but I'm afraid that I'm going to get into trouble again, and this kind of life can no longer be maintained.
Just now, she had already felt some heat in her shoulder, but fortunately, after the half-ghost escaped, the shoulder area returned to normal.
Lin Wei let out a long sigh of relief.
