In the water was a pockmarked face, and on one side of his face was a hideous scar like a centipede that spread from the corner of his eye down to the top of his nose with red spots.

Not only that, but there were shiny blisters and abscesses on the scars, red, purple, and black, indescribably hideous and terrifying.

Even people like her, who have seen a lot of corpses, chuckled in their hearts.

It took a few gasps to suppress the shock.

The blisters and abscesses on the scar in front of my eyes, I think I didn't feel any pain or discomfort when I washed my face just now, except for some pimples on my face.

Lin Qingqian couldn't help but look at his face at the water, "This face ......"

Just as she was studying her face, Tian's shout came from the direction of the main house, "Shallow, what are you doing?" Quickly washed your face and ate. ”

"Here we are." Lin Qingqian responded, washed his face casually, and wiped it back with the cloth on the bamboo pole next to him.

On the small table where they usually eat, there was a small basin of burnt corn tortillas with oil, and two bowls of porridge.

"Eat it. It's been a long time since I've made tortillas. Tian said, first brought her a fragrant steaming tortilla and handed it to her.

After taking it, Lin Qingqian directly blew and took a big bite, "It's so hot, it's delicious." ”

The fragrance in her mouth made her eyes slightly confused, "It's so fragrant." ”

Although this tortilla is not freshly juiced, it does not have much oil, only a little salt, and it tastes very pure.

I don't know if it's because of the unpolluted air here or because the deity hasn't eaten this cake for a long time, she only feels that the tortilla in her hand is surprisingly fragrant.

After eating a piece the size of a palm, she saw that there were still some on the plate, and she took another one, so she slowed down and asked Tian Shi if she had nothing to say, "Mother, do you still have the medicine that I usually rub on my face?" ”

The deity remembers that every once in a while her father and mother would rub some ointment on her, saying that it was to cure the pus and blisters on her face, and then they would rub her and fall asleep quickly.

Before, the deity only thought that the pus and blisters on her face would not hurt if she rubbed the medicine, but just now she not only pinched but also touched it.

It hurts to the touch, and it hurts to pinch it, but those blisters and abscesses, which look like that on the surface, there is water flowing out of the pinch, but she doesn't feel the pain, which has to make her wonder.

Tian was eating a tortilla with his hand, and quickly came back to his senses, "What is that medicine for?" Is there any discomfort in your face? ”

"It's a little ......," Lin Qingqian touched his face and said.

Tian looked at her face and asked, "Itching also hurts?" His eyes were full of nervousness, but he just sat there and didn't move.

Lin Qingqian didn't understand why the tension in her eyes was.

I really love my daughter, and when I heard my daughter say this, I immediately stepped forward to inspect it. But she just stared at her face nervously, and she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, "It's a little painful, it seems to be running water......"

"This, I'll take a look......" Tian put down the things in his hand and lowered his body to check in front of her.

"It's really watery, but it's okay." Reaching out and caressing the abscess on her face, seeing that she frowned because of her own touch, Tian Shi hurriedly withdrew his hand and asked carefully, "It hurts a little bit?" ”

"It hurts, but it's bearable. Mother ......" Lin Qing pretended to be stupid to the end, and asked her about the ointment before.

"The medicine was found by your father, and it happens to be no longer available at home." Tian explained apologetically, and saw that she followed with a look of loss in her eyes, "But I do know who to go to get the medicine." ”

After speaking, Tian ate the cake and drank the porridge in the bowl in two bites, got up and walked to the room where she was resting, groping in it and explaining, "I'll go to the market town later, and the last trip to the market town shouldn't have left yet." ”

"Okay," Lin Qingqian replied inarticulately, and couldn't help but ask about her previous words, "Mother, what are you doing in the market town?" Take the medicine? ”

"Well," Tian paused, and after a while, he groped for all of his thoughts.

I changed into clean clothes and came out, and explained to Lin Qingqian, who was eating, "I still have some money hidden at home, so I'll go to the market town to buy you a few meat buns, and by the way, buy some needlework and thread and come back to embroider something and sell it." After you have eaten, you will be at home after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and your mother will come back when she finishes her errands. ”

"Mother, I'm ......" Lin Qingqian wanted to call her to go to the market town with him. But seeing that Tian was in a hurry, he had to stop.

I also cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks after eating.

The courtyard looked up at the sky, it was not yet noon, and the weather was a little warm.

Thinking that there was a mountain behind the house, she wanted to go to the mountain to try her luck.

Hide the little food at home, and put twenty dollars on your body.

Lin Qingqian found a basket and followed out with a small hoe in his hand. For fear that she would be hungry at noon, she also deliberately carried two tortillas in her arms.

Closing the door and window, she went out and headed straight up the hill behind her.

There is a narrow bridge made of stone slabs at the bottom of the mountain, and under the bridge is a river with rolling waves.

The river is not big, but it is not small, and she can see the rolling waves on the surface of the bridge and hear the sound of rushing water downstream.

Walking across the bridge, she reached the foot of the hill on the other side of the river.

Walking up the path of many people in the village up the mountain, I had just walked a short distance when I heard a sneering voice coming, "Yo, who am I talking about?" It turned out that the ugly monster of my third uncle's family, who died early, came out. This person, it's better to hide at home if he looks ugly, and it will be troublesome if he scares people. What do you say? ”

Lin Qingqian raised his head.

She saw a young girl dressed in pale yellow with light flowers on top of it, a long coat and trousers, with two young girls, coming down the path with a basket in their hands.

The girl's face was as pink as pink, and she looked pretty, but this harsh words still had the meaning of her words, and Lin Qingqian recognized that it was Lin Xiaocui, the daughter of the hateful aunt Wang Guihua. She didn't know much about the two girls who followed her.

But the sarcastic smile on her face when she came to her made her face froze and her eyebrows furrowed.

"Yo, look at this ugly bastard and I'm still angry. Do you think her face is scary? Lin Xiaocui didn't care about Lin Qingqian's face at this time, came down to her side in a few steps, pointed to her face and asked the two girls beside her.

One of the two girls is fatter than Lin Xiaocui, with very white skin and a little round. The other one is younger than Lin Xiaocui, and they are also small, giving people a sense of petite and exquisite.

Both of them focused on Lin Qingqian, and when they saw her close her mouth, her brows furrowed and her head lowered.

The younger girl unconsciously stepped forward and gently tugged Lin Xiaocui's arm and whispered, "Alas, Xiaocui is your cousin no matter what......"

"I said, Erya, you don't know. You don't know. Lin Xiaocui pulled back the sleeve that was pulled by the girl, and said mockingly with her eyebrows, "My sister used to be beautiful, but now she ...... What's the matter, if the third uncle is here, her family has a bit of a family background, maybe she can buy her a mountain slave as a father-in-law. Now it seems ......"

The fat girl was directly amused by Lin Xiaocui's words, and her fat hand covered her mouth and sneered, "Mountain slave? Xiaocui, you can say this. She looks like this, if I am a mountain slave, I can't even look down on it, and it would be strange if I didn't get scared to death when I got up in the middle of the night and saw it......"

The younger girl saw the two of them say this about Lin Qingqian, and wanted to persuade them, but after all, she only stomped her feet helplessly, and crossed Lin Qingqian in front, "Xiaohong, Xiaocui, you ...... I went down. ”

Missing Lin Qingqian's ear, she whispered, "Don't be like them, you should go to the mountains quickly." ”
