109. Not a dream
Seeing me frowning, she consciously interpreted my doubts: "Do you want to ask me if I cried at that time?" I must have to cry, I was only sixteen years old when I was robbed, and I cried all night, but it was useless to cry, the more fiercely and energetically the men cried when they pressed the women under them, and the more they suffered, and then I learned to be obedient. [The old chief took a fancy to me because I was well-behaved and obedient, and let me do whatever I wanted, so he kept me by his side.] ”
She paused and came to persuade me again: "So you should serve now while the chief likes you, so that no one will dare to sleep with you in the future." She seemed to be about to say something, but she looked at me and retracted it.
I didn't ask about it, I'm leaving tomorrow anyway, if it's a good word, let her keep it and say it to the next person.
I wandered out not aimlessly, and followed my memory to find the direction of the cell, but when I was about to walk over, I was stopped by Maya. She shook her head and said, "Don't go over, it's all captives over there." ”
Even though there was no trace of affection in her tone, I suddenly became angry: "I am one of them, and you were also a captive back then. She was stunned, her mouth slightly open and she didn't know what to say.
I broke free of her hand and strode towards the cell, and at first glance I saw Ah Niu curled up in the corner, and I saw Huzi in the same cell as him, and I was slightly surprised. thought that the one Lu Feng said to escape must be Huzi, after all, Huzi was the most courageous among these people. They all seemed to look decadent, and no one looked up at me standing here.
He didn't go any further, stood for a moment and then turned away. Maya had come back to her senses at this time and continued to follow me, but when she was about to reach the stone house, she suddenly came and grabbed my sleeve, "Auntie...... Girl, I didn't mean anything else just now, I just thought it wouldn't be nice for you to go over there. Can you please not tell the chief about it? ”
"You're afraid of him?" I was a little surprised by the timidity in her eyes.
She also admitted directly: "Afraid. Not only since he became the leader, but also from the time he was brought into the village by the original leader, he was afraid that he did not have the temperament of a man here, but his eyes were so cold that it made people tremble when he looked at people. ”
I looked at her silently for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "I won't tell him." ”
Maya immediately smiled with a sigh of relief, pulled me closer and whispered, "Actually, I just wanted to tell you, if you are not very good at serving men, I can teach you, whether it is with your hands or ...... mouth, they will be comfortable. ”
My face flushed to the base of my ears, and I hurriedly dropped a sentence: "No need." He tore her hand away and walked away, until she pushed open the door of the stone house and walked in, calming down a little, feeling sad for Maya, and in order to survive, she had made herself humble.
This place is so horrible that even humanity will gradually be corrupted, and I must leave tomorrow.
But I didn't wait for tomorrow, and something happened that night. Lu Feng was not there when there was an alarm outside the house, and I listened carefully for a while and felt that the movement outside was not quite right, not like the noise of a party.
When I walked to the door and looked out through the crack in the door, I was shocked to see a fire outside the door, and there were still people, is this a fire?
I think that most of the grass huts in this mountain are built, and if the fire starts, it will be flammable, although this is a stone house, but it is easy to burn over the grass piles all around. Lu Feng didn't come back, I couldn't wait for the fire to spread here, and I was about to open the door and go out, but I suddenly heard a voice as thin as a mosquito and fly behind me: "Big girl." ”
I turned my head and looked at the furnace, where there was an extra slab at the bottom, which pressed down on the original pit.
Laboriously moved away the slate, and sure enough, he saw Chen Ergou below, but he hadn't left yet.
"Big girl, there's something big going on outside, don't you really think about coming with me?"
"What's wrong?"
Chen Ergou deliberately lowered his voice: "Did you see that there was a fire outside?" Let me tell you, there is a thief in the mountain, this fire was put by the thief, and all of them are masters, and I saw a black shadow flashing. ”
Although he said it vividly, but I didn't think it was funny for no reason, he was a tomb robber, and those in the village were mountain thieves, and now there are thieves all the way, and the real thieves are all gathered in one nest.
Chen Ergou said a little anxiously when he saw that I was silent: "Big girl, if you don't leave, you can say something, I came to you at a great risk." I looked back at the door, gritted my teeth and nodded, "I'll go with you." ”
Yesterday was because Lu Feng killed the big boss for me, and he ventured out to inspect the situation, life and death are unknown, and he can't leave out of conscience or morality; But at this moment, Lu Feng has become the leader of this cottage because of yesterday's incident, and he has the ability to protect himself.
The decision did not hesitate any longer, and followed Chen Ergou into the ground. To be honest, the hole under the bottom was very rough, and I could only crawl forward a little bit on the ground, and my nose was full of moist earth.
I thought that since Chen Ergou came to take me out, the pit must have been dug outside, but he actually dug the passage into the tomb. Looking at the stone coffin, he suddenly became angry, and asked in a bad tone: "Why did you get here?" ”
But Chen Ergou said cheekily: "There is no way, there are too many underground rocks, so you can only dig into here." Don't be afraid, big girl, it's just passing by, and I've dug through the other side, so I can get out. ”
He wasn't lying, he had made an opening on the other side of the chamber, but it was so small that we had to walk through the coffin, and I couldn't help but glance back when I was about to get through the hole on the other side.
"Chen Ergou, what did you steal?" A sudden inquiry made the figure crawling in front of him stagnate, but soon heard a reply: "Big girl, you think too much, we just happened to pass by." ”
Where is such a coincidence? The thief had dug the pit here after a long time, and it must have been to steal what was inside. And the thought that flashed through my mind just now was that this tomb would not be the old leader in Maya's mouth, it was obvious that the tomb was some years old, and there was a stale smell in it.
didn't go out of his way to debunk Chen Ergou's lame lies, and now he just wants to climb out of this pit as soon as possible. When I felt that there was a foreign object lying under me, I subconsciously reached out to touch it, but I touched a string of round balls, and the cave was pitch black and I couldn't see clearly, thinking that it was very likely that Chen Ergou had fallen. I casually stuffed it into my sleeve, and after crawling for about half an hour, I finally heard Chen Ergou shouting in front of me: "Big girl, we can be regarded as escaping." ”
When I got out of the pit and looked back, I had to admire Chen Ergou, he actually dug the exit in the middle of a stone, which means that we were drilled out of the crack in the rock. There was no moon tonight, it was pitch black all around, and the shadows of the trees were shivering in the wind. I asked Chen Ergou if he was sure he had left the cottage, and his answer was very affirmative, saying that he had already come out and slipped around.
It didn't take long for him to walk out of the woods, and his eyes suddenly opened up, and at the same time, the fire in the distance was not extinguished, and the distance was indeed very far away. Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief, and finally Chen Ergou, a half-hung tomb robber, was reliable.
When I turned around and left, my steps were a little heavy, except for saying goodbye to Lu Feng, I didn't think about Ah Niu and the others when I agreed to run away with Chen Ergou, and I couldn't predict what their fate would be. Although they were the ones responsible for the robbery, they did not want this man-made fire or killing to reach them.
The only consolation is that Lu Feng should not be as ignorant as the original leader to kill people indiscriminately to vent his anger. When the fire was extinguished, he returned to the stone house, and when he saw the stone slab that I had pushed away, he should know that I was gone.
That's probably the best way to go.
Wu thought about what was on his mind when he suddenly heard Chen Ergou shouting behind him: "Wait a big girl, I seem to have dropped something." ”
When he stopped and looked back, he saw that he was looking for something on his waist, and asked more: "What has been dropped?" He raised his head as if he was stunned, and immediately said, "It's not particularly important, just lose it." Then after walking a short distance, he proposed again: "Big girl, go all the way to your village, it's not good for me to go back with you so late, I'll come to you early tomorrow morning, do you think it's okay?" ”
I knew what he was thinking, and I didn't break it, so I just whispered and turned away.
Hearing him say that I will go straight ahead to Ginkgo Village, my steps are a little eager, and the feeling of returning to my heart is the first time to experience, knowing that Ah Ping is not at home, but it is home, and it is a place where I can go back.
When I opened the lock and pushed the door into the house, my nose couldn't help but be sore, I was just a woman, and I experienced these inevitable and vulnerable times. If someone in the house could leave me a lamp, if Ah Ping should be so good, then I could throw myself into his arms and cry and pour out my fear of the past few days. But at this moment, it was pitch black, like the gray in my heart.
Walking in the dark, I just want to get back to bed and sleep, I can hardly sleep comfortably in these nights, and every time I close my eyes, I wake up from a nap. I first went to the stove room to touch the fire fold and candles, lit the fire, first washed the cold water face, and then washed off the mud on my hands, looked down at the dirty robe on my body, I still wore Lu Feng's, and went back to the room to change it first.
As soon as I took off my robe in the room, I suddenly heard the sound of eager footsteps outside, and I was so frightened that I immediately pulled my clothes and wrapped myself around. As the door slammed open, a dark shadow rushed in, and I exclaimed, "Who is it?" ”
But seeing that the figure stopped abruptly, the door was full of blockages, and there was not even a little gap, and I lamented in my heart that I was carrying to what point, and finally escaped home, and even encountered a burglary?
But the thought only flashed and immediately denied that this backlit figure ...... How do I look so familiar? Am I hallucinating? Before I could react, I felt a black nose hit a wall of flesh in front of me, and the smell between my nose made me confused: "Ah Ping? "How is this possible?
A deep sigh in his ears was accompanied by a single word: "Lan." ”
My whole body froze, this voice was so familiar that it was almost calloused, he was the only one who could call it that, and his nose was full of a unique intoxicating breath, was it my dream? How could he be at home?
The hug was so tight that I felt suffocated, and at the same time told me that it wasn't a dream.
