Chapter 2 Accidents
Although Butcher Liao was puzzled, he had always been used to carrying out orders, and heard Yu Niang say to pack up his things and go up the mountain.
took the burden in Yu Niang's hand, picked up the packed water bladder, and carried Yu Niang on his back. The group walked up the unknown mountain.
Yu Niang asked Butcher Liao not to follow the stream, let him walk to the road that no one had walked, and asked the second brother to take a wooden stick to re-pull the road he had walked on with a wooden stick, so that no one could see that someone had walked by.
Since Butcher Liao was carrying Yu Niang on his back, he could only let Aunt Liao open the way in front with a big knife.
This big knife is a weapon used by Liao Butcher when he was a soldier, and he usually doesn't use it to kill pigs, but he often takes it out to rub/rub/grind/grind when he is fine, and it is well maintained, and the blade is quite sharp.
Yu Niang, who was lying on the back of Butcher Liao, felt that something was holding her around her neck. Take it out and take a look, this is the purse given to her by her mother before leaving Beijing, and there is half a jade match in it.
In the previous life, this piece of jade was long gone, and I don't know if it was lost or taken away?
Put the jade pair back into the purse and stuff it into his clothes, and continue to lie on the back of the Liao butcher.
The group of four climbed the mountain for a long time, and the clothes on their bodies were wet with dew, and Aunt Liao was afraid that the young master would catch a cold in wet clothes.
He turned to his husband behind him and said, "Xianggong, let's find a place to make a fire!" ”
"Okay, can you see where you can make a fire?" Butcher Liao put Yu Niang on his back and replied.
Aunt Liao used a knife to remove the branches and weeds on both sides, and looked into the distance, trying to find a place where she could light a fire and rest.
After walking for about an hour, the sun had already shone into the woods, and the temperature was much higher than in the morning, at least Yu Niang felt warmer than in the morning. Although her feet were frozen and unconscious.
Yu Niang, who was lying on the back of the Liao butcher, didn't know if it was because she was cold, or because the shoes on her feet were wet with dew.
I just feel that my head is getting heavier and heavier, and I want to sleep when I am so exposed to the sun.
Just when Yu Niang was about to fall asleep in a daze, she heard Aunt Liao's surprised voice: There is a cave in front, let's go there to make a fire.
Then Yu Niang felt that they were walking faster and faster, and then Yu Niang fainted as soon as it was dark.
When the group walked to the cave and lit a fire and put Yu Niang down, they found that Yu Niang had fainted.
Several people were in a hurry, pinching people, pouring water, and Aunt Liao wrapped Yu Niang in cotton clothes and hugged her tightly in her arms.
Because she was leaning against the fire and being held in her arms by Aunt Liao, Yu Niang finally recovered, her head was still a little dizzy, and her body was uncomfortable, but Yu Niang didn't say anything.
Yang Shanyong saw that his sister had woken up, and hurriedly poured some freshly heated water into the water bladder. Let my sister hold it in her arms, and you can drink it when it gets cooler, Yu Niang fainted just now and frightened him.
Yu Niang was holding a warm cowhide water bladder, and she was held in Aunt Liao's arms for so long and roasted on the fire, her body was already a lot warmer, but her head was still a little heavy, and she didn't have much strength.
She was afraid that Aunt Liao would be tired, so she struggled to get off the ground and sit on the stone.
Aunt Liao didn't agree at first, but later saw that Yu Niang insisted, so she asked Liao Butcher to take a piece of clothing and roast it on the fire for a while and put it on the stone, and then put Yu Niang on it, still sitting on the side and watching with anxiety.
Yang Shanyong didn't worry about his sister, poured some hot water, tore some dry food and put it in the hot water to soak, put a little salt in it, brought it to Yu Niang noodles and said, "Sister, eat some hot food!"
He said to Aunt Liao again: "Aunt Liao, I'm coming to see my sister, you and Uncle Liao should also go and drink some hot water!"
Then look around to see if there is anything else to eat, and after eating dry food for a few days in a row, my sister must be tired of eating, so I will find something else to eat to change the taste. ”
After speaking, he handed the water bladder in his other hand to Aunt Liao, and then sat down next to Yu Niang, and fed the soaked soft dry food into Yu Niang's mouth with a wooden spoon.
Aunt Liao glanced in the direction of Butcher Liao, and when she saw Xianggong nodding, she sat down on the other side with a water bladder.
The husband and wife drank some water and ate some dry food, told them not to run around, and went out of the cave with the big knife.
Yu Niang slept on the back of the Liao butcher before, ate hot food again, and is now much more energetic.
looked at the second brother who was dozing off while eating dry food next to her, and said, "Second brother, you can sleep here for a while! I will call you when Uncle Liao and Aunt Liao come back from hunting the prey." ”
Yang Shanyong listened to his sister's words, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "I can't sleep, I want to accompany you and wait for Uncle Liao and Aunt Liao to come back." ”
"Second brother, you're tired, hurry up and rest for a while. I'm here watching the fire, not running around. ”
Later, Yang Shanyong was so tired that he leaned against the stone and wanted to sleep. Last night the carriage was so bumpy that I couldn't sleep.
Today, he has been on the mountain road for most of the day, and his sleepy eyes are almost unable to open.
In the past two days, I saw that my sister was a lot more sensible, so I wanted to rest for a while, and then get up to accompany my sister when I woke up, so as to prevent my sister from being afraid if she was not accompanied by her.
Yang Shanyong fell asleep on the big stone next to the fire, and when Yu Niang saw that the second brother was asleep, she took out another cotton coat in the bag and covered him to prevent him from catching a cold.
In order to prevent the fire from extinguishing, Yu Niang went out of the cave and found some dry firewood nearby to prepare.
Yu Niang sat alone in front of the fire, adding firewood to it, while thinking about her father and eldest brother who stayed in the capital, and I don't know what happened to them?
In my previous life, I never heard any news from the capital until I died, and I had been on the way to escape for my life before, so I didn't have time to think about my father's mother.
Now that she is free, Yu Niang thinks of her parents who have held her in the palm of her hand since she was a child.
If she has the opportunity, she must go to the capital to inquire about the news of her relatives. I hope I'll see them again in this life.
Thinking of this, Yu Niang turned her head to look at the second brother who was sleeping, the second brother was only twelve years old, and like herself, she didn't talk about brocade clothes and jade food, but she had never suffered hardship.
Since leaving the capital, I have never slept well after a hungry meal, a full meal, and a good night's sleep.
In his previous life, he lived to the age of sixteen, and he must take good care of his second brother in the future.
After making up her mind, Yu Niang added another handful of firewood to the fire, tucked the covered clothes for the second brother, and then went out of the cave.
When I came to the entrance of the cave, I looked up at the sky, and it was getting darker, and I don't know if there were too many trees, or if it was getting dark? In short, it was already dark on this side of the cave.
Uncle Liao and Aunt Liao went out very early, and they didn't know if they had hit their prey, or did they encounter other troubles? Why did they go for so long? Yu Niang was both worried and anxious in her heart.
The sky was getting darker and darker, until it was completely dark, and there was only the sound of the wind "whirring" and "whirring" except for the crackling sound of firewood.
The second brother was still sleeping, and Yu Niang was a little scared in her heart.
Just as Yu Niang was anxiously waiting for Uncle Liao and Aunt Liao, she heard a wolf howl in the distance, and the frightened Yu Niang's body trembled and almost fell to the ground.
Yu Niang was even more worried in her heart, worried that something would happen to Uncle Liao and Aunt Liao, and if Uncle Liao and Aunt Liao had an accident, the two of them would definitely not be able to get out of this mountain forest.
Thinking of this, Yu Niang hurriedly ran to Yang Shanyong's side and shouted: "Second brother, hurry up, Uncle Liao and Aunt Liao have an accident." ”
Even screamed several times, Yang Shanyong didn't wake up, Yu Niang reached out and touched it, the second brother's forehead was so hot, I knew that it was a fever, and now Yu Niang was even more worried.
Uncle Liao and Aunt Liao haven't come back yet, and the second brother has a high fever again, so Yu Niang can only pick up the water bladder next to the fire and half-hold the second brother's body, and send water to his mouth, hoping that the second brother can drink some hot water to get hot.
Yang Shanyong, who was burning in a daze, had a dry mouth, and found that someone was feeding him water, so he took a few big sips with the water bladder, and fell asleep in a daze after drinking.
