Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Dumb Girl

Previous Chapter

In the depths of the cemetery, there is an underground cave that no one cares about, and the cave often emits the strange sound of ghosts crying and wolf howls, and since then the disciples of Medicine Valley have stayed away from this place, and over time this area has been forgotten. Ten years have passed, and the entrance to the cave is overgrown with lush thatch, and the rusty iron fence is covered with cobwebs, and it is a forgotten corner.

"Zi Yan, Zi Yan, I won't forget, I won't ......"

Mu Mu jumped off the attic in a panic, his head hurt as if it was about to explode, and he couldn't wait to find a stone tablet and hit it headlong, one foot deep and one foot shallow and one foot rushed into the cemetery, top-heavy, one foot was unstable and planted on the tombstone, and fainted on the spot.

In the distance, the armless old woman took Princess Yingyue out of the valley in a hurry, and before leaving, she looked at the cemetery, where there were many graves, and there was a white curtain as a cover, and the young man fell into the depression by chance, and happened to escape a catastrophe.

"Yue'er go, wait until you come back, and then settle accounts with this kid," the armless old woman shouted angrily.

......

The sky is getting dark, the sun is setting, and there is only a trace of afterglow left in the sky, and the earth is silent.

Mu Mu, who fell into the graveyard, moved his fingertips slightly, the double moon soul pattern in the center of his eyebrows flashed with a streamer, looming, his pale face finally had a touch of blood, his eyes opened slightly, and he struggled to get up.

"Zi Yan, where are you, where are you......" Mu Mu muttered to himself, and suddenly there was a tingling pain in his head, as if someone was pricking him with a needle, clenching his teeth in pain, and the root veins of his temples burst out, regardless of the injury on his forehead, he grabbed his head and slammed it to the ground, as if only pain could reduce the pain slightly.

"Ahh

"Yaa, yaa!"

Suddenly a figure appeared in the graveyard, hiding behind the mound and poking its head out to observe the boy, shouting words that no one understood.

Mu Mu couldn't take care of this, he was crazy, he hit his head desperately, and the pain was deep, and he saw a tombstone hit his head, and his eyes fell to the ground, and he fainted.

"Ahh

......

"Tick, tick"

The sound of drops of water is like the rhythm of percussion, there is only one oil lamp in the dark and damp cave, the wind blows and the lamp beats weakly, and the 'crackling' sound comes from time to time in the wick, the sound is not loud but people can't help but wonder when the lamp will go out.

In the dim light, a ragged figure swayed and appeared, the cloth on her unkempt body was almost strips, and she kept fluttering as she walked, her withered and split hair was worse than a chicken coop, and her face was hidden deep in the thatch-like messy hair, leaving only one eye, an incomparably clear and translucent pupil.

The pupils are black and white, like a clear stream flowing through my heart. Someone once said that the eye is the window to the soul, but this eye was born in a person who is worse than Hanako, and one has to wonder how credible it is.

Her hands were stained and had not been washed for at least some time, but her black hands held a steaming bowl of white porcelain soup, which was thick with a faint medicinal fragrance.

The cave was so small that there was nothing left but an oil lamp and a rockfall.

There was a young man lying on the rock, with a thick cloth wrapped around his forehead, and the quilt covered was already full of holes, and the black and charred cotton in the quilt could also be clearly seen.

The cave is a good place to be warm in winter and cool in summer, but the wind here is different, the wind blows all over the body, Mu Mu circles his body like a shrimp, and his purple lips keep trembling.

She walked to the edge of Mu Mu's stone collapse, carefully helped him sit up straight, Mu Mu was shivering from the cold, she sat on the edge of the stone collapse, blocked the tuyere with her body, picked up the spoon and fed the medicine one by one, and took a white towel from her arms and gently inserted it to remove the medicine stains that overflowed the corners of her mouth.

Don't look at her ragged clothes, but the white silk in her hand is very exquisite, and a pair of mandarin ducks are embroidered on the white scarf, and the two mandarin ducks are playing comfortably in the water, vividly.

After feeding the medicine, she swayed out again, and after a while came back with two lumps of black and slimy things, which seemed to be very hot, she could only wrap them in rags, and rushed to the collapse of the stone and threw the two lumps of things away, twisting the earlobes under the messy hair with both hands, and jumping to the feet.

She didn't care about the heat, she broke open the black and mushy things, it turned out to be two large sweet potatoes, the yellow core of the sweet potato was steaming, tore the thick black skin, took the white porcelain soup bowl and blew it cold for a long time, and fed it to the boy one by one.

Mu Mu swallowed something in a daze, she found a cyan clay pot, the jar was full of water, and when she was feeding the water, a pair of eyes suddenly opened, and found that there was a stranger beside her, so she pushed it violently in a panic.

There was a "clang" sound, and the jug fell to the ground, and the good end of the clay pot was torn apart, and the water inside was scattered all over the ground.

Anxious and as if she was afraid of something, she crouched down to pick up the tiles, glared back at the boy fiercely, and then silently picked up the pieces.

"No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to" Mu Mu knew that the other party was kind, and quickly apologized.

But she turned a deaf ear, and only buried her head in picking up the tiles, carefully and earnestly picking up each one.

"Or, I'll help you!" Mu Mu jumped out of bed, her eyes were dark, and she turned to her in a whirlwind.

She was also alert and turned around and hugged the boy, opening her mouth to scream "yaa, yaa".

"You're dumb, I'm sorry, don't you know how to speak?"

She nodded, helped Mu Mu to stand up, pointed her finger at the stone collapse, and shouted, Mu Mu had an idea, and said, "Are you letting me lie back?"

The dumb girl nodded, Mu Mu lay back on the stone collapse again, glanced at her, and said, "Do you know how to write?"

The mute girl nodded again, and gestured for a long time, Mu Mu stared at her for a long time and didn't know what she meant, spread out her palm and pointed to her palm, and said, "Why don't you write the words on my hand, so that I can understand." ”

The mute girl suddenly realized, quickly grabbed Mu Mu's palm, and wrote crookedly with her fingers, as if she was very unfamiliar with writing, almost unrecognizable.

"You, sick, no, okay, no, want, get down, bed, understood, you let me rest in bed, but do you know what kind of illness I have?"

The mute girl thought for a moment, and then wrote, "No, yes, miss her, head, no, pain." ”

Mu Mu shouted casually, and suddenly realized that it was because of his thoughts that he had a splitting headache, and when he thought of this, a shadow appeared in his mind, followed by a tingling pain.

The dumb girl was anxious, and hurriedly wrote in his hand: "No, yes, I want", and after writing, she grabbed Mu Mu's hand tightly and held it tightly.

"Okay, okay, I don't want to, I don't want to" Mu Mu screamed in pain, but the more he didn't want to, the more he would think, the blurred figure of the girl flashed in her mind from time to time, the pain was all the time, and her face was twisted and painful.

The dumb girl was also in a hurry, she couldn't care about writing one by one, she screamed "yes, yes, yes", Mu Mu was drenched in cold sweat, and she grabbed her hair in pain, and she couldn't wait to pull it off one by one.

"Bang" a loud ear scraper, the dumb girl slapped it hard, so that Mu Mu seemed to wake up, leaving a deep five finger mark on her cheek, which never faded.

The mute girl grabbed Mu Mu's hand, clutched it tightly, and wrote on her fingertips: "Does it hurt." ”

Mu Mu, who came to his senses, only smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The mute girl wrote, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

"My name is Shen Mumu, you can call me Mu Mu, by the way, what kind of place is this?" Mu Mu asked.

The mute girl looked deeply and frowned, but still wrote in the palm of his hand: "Medicine Valley." ”

"Medicine Valley, why did I come to Medicine Valley, who brought me here!"

Mu Mu was completely stunned when he heard this, this was a completely unfamiliar place, what kind of place was the Medicine Valley? Who brought me here to do what? Who was the person who harmed me just now? How should I get out? Question marks flashed in his mind, a series of question marks.

"What should I do, what should I do, who will save me!"

The mute girl looked at Mu Mu, who looked like she was crazy, frowned, let go of his hand, and swayed towards the deeper part of the cave.

"Girl, what are you grinding outside, is my food ready, you are going to starve me to death!"

There was an old cry from inside the cave, and the voice was weak, as if he was really hungry.
