When she woke up again, she was lying on a hard bed.

The quilt covered with his body was washed white and smelled clean. Soft daylight shone in through the yellowed window paper, shining on the mottled skin of the earthen walls.

It can be seen that the owner of the house has tried his best, but the environment is not satisfactory.

She blinked, swallowed hard, and there was a distinct tingling sensation in her throat, and she was thirsty.

Unfamiliar surroundings.

It took her a lot of effort to remember everything that had happened before, and the last scene before she fell unconscious. Yourself, this is rescued, right? Although the house seemed destitute, it was heaven compared to being trapped in that well.

Outside, there was the sound of light footsteps, and the mute woman came in with the curtain lifted, holding a stoneware cup in her hand.

Seeing that she had woken up, he excitedly quickened his pace and helped her up to feed her water. The warm liquid entered her throat, with a sweet taste, which immediately relieved all her discomfort.

When she had finished drinking the water, the mute woman brought her a bowl of millet porridge and a bowl of decoction for her to drink.

Outside, a sharp female voice scolded: "I said that little three, since you woke up, don't pretend to be delicate!" It cost two dollars just to hire a doctor, and I also lost a few eggs! ”

"Dead girl! Lose money! I've slept for two days, and I don't hurry up yet! The hogweed is gone, and the clothes are still waiting to be washed! How much work is waiting to be done, and you are embarrassed to lie down and pretend to be dead?! ”

Is this scolding me?

Her face was blank, and she looked at the mute woman with an inquiring gaze.

The mute woman wiped her hand on the hem of her apron, gave her a reassuring smile, and went out of the room. I don't know how she solved it, but after a while, a fat woman came in.

In contrast to the old and haggard face of the mute woman, the woman was oily, and her oiled hair was slick into a bun with a shiny silver hairpin. On his carrot-thick finger, he wears a huge silver ingot ring.

I saw her trembling chins, and she struggled to squeeze out a smile and said, "Since my sister said that she will work for you, Xiaosan, you can lie down in peace." If you want to eat, just tell your aunt, don't be polite to the family. ”

The title of "little three" made her frown.

What a junior, you are only a junior, and your whole family is a junior! She glared angrily at the fat woman who called herself her aunt.

Besides, so condescending? Something must be wrong, she wondered. If she hadn't just arrived and couldn't figure out what was going on, I'd have to give her a little color!

When the fat woman went out, the dumb lady hurriedly gestured to her for a long time, roughly meaning to let her rest well and not make the fat woman angry.

She smiled self-deprecatingly and agreed.

In today's situation, what else can she do? Let's take care of this little body first and find out the situation clearly. The power of the medicine surged, and she fell into a deep sleep again with doubts and injuries all over her body.

Fortunately, she is young and recovers quite quickly. After a few days of hard work, the minor injuries on his body have healed and scabbed, and most of his illness has healed, and he has the strength to walk.

However, no matter how she tried, she couldn't find any memories of the original owner.

No matter how bold she was, alone in a completely unfamiliar environment, surrounded by strange things and strange people, uneasiness and apprehension always haunted her heart, so that she had to be careful.

In the past few days, she learned that her name was "Xu Sanchun", and she called the mute woman "Dumb Niang", an orphan that the dumb lady picked up when she went to her brother and sister-in-law, so she raised her as her own daughter.

The language here was completely different from the Mandarin she was familiar with, but fortunately, perhaps because of the original owner's body, she could understand the words here.

Now it is the late spring of the forty-eighth year of Songlie of the Great Shang Dynasty, and this place is called Tiantai Township. It's just that this great Shang Dynasty is not the "Shang" of Xia Shang Zhou that she knows, and that Shang Dynasty will never have cotton clothes and silver jewelry. It was a poor and remote place, and in order not to be suspected, she didn't dare to inquire about anything more.

That fat woman is the dumb lady's sister-in-law Wang, and her man Xu Jinshui is the dumb lady's brother, who works as a steward in the salt factory, and is a small leader, with more than ten people under his hands.

In this family, there are also two sons and a daughter born to Wang, and a mother and daughter who work for a short time.

However, she can see that the dumb lady and her two are slaves who don't need to be paid for work in this family. When she fell ill, the burden on the shoulders of the dumb lady became heavier and heavier.

The brother and sister-in-law didn't treat the dumb girl as their own sister at all. thinks that if they provide a place for their mother and daughter to stay, they deserve to be repaid by making cattle and horses.

The dumb lady came in with a stoneware bowl and put it on the table, gesturing: "Come and eat to replenish your body." ”

After getting along for the past few days, although Xu Sanchun has no memory of the original owner, he has worked very hard to remember and figure out the gestures of the dumb girl, and he can understand that he is not far from ten.

This bowl of egg custard is steamed to a golden brown, and a small spoonful of lard is rarely placed on it, and a few verdant green onions are sprinkled on it, exuding a fragrant smell, and Xu Sanchun is full of cravings in his stomach.

It's so unproductive! When will a bowl of steamed eggs make you hungry like this? Back then, my sister thought the braised pork in the cafeteria was too greasy.

Xu Sanchun sighed, what's the use of thinking about this now?

"Thank you, dumb girl." After thanking her, she ate it all in a few clicks.

As soon as the bowl was put aside, Wang's daughter Xu Lan came in, glanced at the empty bowl, and raised her voice and said, "Yo, I said that you don't work in the daytime, what are you doing secretly in the house, it turns out that you are stealing eggs." ”

"What stealing?!" Xu Sanchun's anger, which had been suppressed for a few days, was ignited suddenly, and he glared at Xu Lan angrily: "What's wrong with eating a few eggs, do we still have less work?" ”

She watched with her own eyes that the dumb lady got up before dawn and rested in the middle of the night, busy from morning to night. It is not difficult to speculate that they have been like this all these years.

Xu Lan was stunned, then became furious, pointed at Xu Sanchun and screamed: "Okay! Little San, you are a dead girl, you have a big temper when you are sick! ”

"Stop calling me a junior!" Xu Sanchun slapped her fingers away and said, "I'm your cousin." No matter how big or small it is, I won't be polite to you. ”

In terms of etiquette, she is indeed Xu Lan's cousin.

She spoke so violently, which really scared Xu Lan. Touching the fingers that were hurt by her, Xu Lan showed timidity on her face, and ran out as soon as her mouth was flattened.

Xu Sanchun looked at the dumb lady with a worried face and said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry. She is a little girl, but she is used to bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and she doesn't dare to do anything. ”

The dumb lady waved her hand again and again, meaning: "Don't call me mother." ”

Xu Sanchun smiled helplessly, not understanding why the dumb lady who worked hard to pull herself up, did not allow herself to call her "mother".

Although this is just a few days of getting along, the dumb lady is kind to her, plus more than ten years of nurturing grace, how can she not be a "mother"?

However, this was always what she meant by her dumb girl, Xu Sanchun had no choice but to smile: "Dumb girl, don't worry." ”

It's not a way to go on like this, at least we have to think of a way to improve the situation. Not to mention anything else, this life is too poor and aggrieved.
