22. Dream within a dream
"Sangxi, come and choose these dishes, and then go to the village to fetch buckets of water and come back, and then ......"
A familiar voice, a familiar salutation, Sanhi opened his eyes in disbelief-
Is it Mom?
Sanxi's hands had begun to tremble uncontrollably.
She looked around in fear and realized that she was in her hometown.
"How is that possible? When did I come back? Sanhi asked in disbelief.
"Sanhi!" Mom stood in the yard, crossed her waist, and looked at her angrily: "Did you listen to me?" What are you doing there? After fetching the water, wash your brothers' clothes, hurry! ”
Mother's irascible tone and unquestionable command seemed to have been engraved in Sanxi's DNA, and she hurried over to hear the words, squatting next to the large bundle of leeks, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, she was stunned: the hand in her sight was red, small, and looked very immature, but it had some calluses. This is not her hand at all!
Mother had already returned to the house, and Sanxi quickly stood up and ran to the water tank, where there was a little girl with two pigtails, her face was round and red, and she was a little dirty.
This is what she looked like when she was ten years old!
Did she cross over? Could it be that she had to do it all over again?
The thought of this sends a chill down Sanghi's spine.
No matter how it ends, she must resist this time.
After making up her mind, she washed her face directly with the water in the tank, and when her mother heard the sound and came out of the house and saw her, she immediately widened her eyes, and walked towards her with a curse and raised her hand to hit her.
Sanxi was so frightened that he ran out of the house, along the small dirt road in the village, and ran out of the village.
There was a railroad track outside the village, and she followed it all the way, but she felt colder and colder after walking for a long time.
When she looked up, the sun was about to set, and she just wanted to sit down and rest for a while, but suddenly her eyes turned black, and there was a roar in her ears, followed by the familiar voice:
"Sangxi, come and choose these dishes, and then go to the village to fetch buckets of water and come back, and then ......"
Sanxi suddenly opened his eyes and saw that he was back at home, and it was that time of the afternoon.
What's going on? Could it be that she couldn't escape like this?
Sanxi felt fear like never before.
"Sanhi!" Mom stood in the yard, crossed her waist, and looked at her angrily: "Did you listen to me?" What are you doing there......"
She reacted immediately and hurriedly interrupted her mother: "I heard it, and then I washed my brothers' clothes!" ”
Sanxi ran over quickly and picked up the leek.
Mom couldn't scold her anymore when she looked like this, so she turned around and went back to the house like last time.
Sangxi hadn't done the work of choosing vegetables for a long time, and she was a little rusty, because Tanwang never let her do this. Thinking of the talk, Sang Xi's heart rekindled his fighting spirit: "There must be a way to go back, I have to find a way, the talk is still waiting for me." ”
When Sangxi finished choosing leeks, she had a new idea in her heart.
She decided to do what her mother told her to do this time, and then steal the money and get out of here at night when they were asleep.
Stealing money and leaving is something that Sanxi has fantasized about countless times, but has never dared to do.
Because she knew that if the matter was revealed, she would definitely be killed.
At that time, she didn't have a way out, but now it's different, she has a talk, and talk is like a sedative in her heart, a countless way out for her, and a protective shield for her. Thinking of the conversation, Sanxi was not afraid of anything.
Everything is going according to plan.
After dinner, Sanxi was washing dishes in the kitchen, listening to the sound of his parents talking and laughing with his brothers in a soft voice.
Sanxi has two younger brothers, the eldest is 5 years old, and the younger is still babbling. Mom and Dad are very good to both younger brothers, but to her, like to a wild child.
If it had been placed in the past, Sanxi would definitely be unable to wipe her tears while washing the dishes now, but now she doesn't care about it.
Talking is the confidence that she doesn't care about.
Soon it was late at night.
Mom and Dad and two younger brothers were asleep, and they could still hear Dad snoring slightly from outside the door.
Sanxi tiptoed open the door they had hidden, and little by little by the moonlight outside the window touched the door of the closet where the money was kept.
She always knew where her mom and dad's money were.
Sanghi's heart was about to jump out.
Not only the nervousness of being discovered, but also the excitement that something she had fantasized about many times was about to come true.
Probably because I had the money to buy a large bundle of leeks today, my mother forgot to put the money in the back of the cabinet, so Sanxi didn't have much effort to touch the handkerchief that was full of money.
It's a thick bunch.
Sanhi put the money in his pocket and gently closed the door of the cupboard.
It's good that no one is woken up.
As he passed his two younger brothers, Sanhi stopped.
In fact, she likes her two younger brothers very much, but her mother never lets her younger brothers spend more time with her. Since she ran away from home as an adult, she has often missed her younger brothers, but she has never talked about it.
The moonlight shone on the faces of the two younger brothers, and Sang Xi looked at it reluctantly for a while, and finally left. It was at stake, and she was afraid to wake them up.
After leaving the house, Sanxi ran wildly in his bulging pockets, and did not stop until he had left the village for a long time, gasping for air.
She finally did.
The place where Sanhi stopped was a deserted orchard, and next to it was a small abandoned house, which was supposed to be the one who had watched the fruit trees.
She didn't think much about it and walked in, she wanted to stay here for one night, and then get up tomorrow and continue on her way.
Probably due to the relaxation after the high tension, coupled with the fatigue after a long run, Sanxi casually lay on the firewood and grass on the floor of the hut, and after a while, he fell asleep.
In a daze, she seemed to have a dream, and in the dream she heard a familiar voice again:
"Sangxi, come here and choose these dishes......
