Chapter 21: Niushan Village (1)
Qin Han's whole body jumped straight, pouring all his energy into his eyes and ears, not letting go of a trace of wind and grass. Her hands clenched into fists at her sides, trying to overcome the fear in her heart and keep her mind clear.
A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, three quarters of an hour......
There was not a single change in the four strokes, except for her own gradually accelerating heartbeat.
As early as she stepped into this darkness, she tried to see if she could enter the meson space, but she failed.
"Is there anyone here?"
In the end, Qin Han couldn't help but ask, and as soon as she spoke, she found that her voice had changed, turning back into the girl's immature voice. She hurriedly touched her face and body, and sure enough, it was all turned back.
Is there nothing to hide here?
After waiting for a long time and there was no response, her voice seemed to be a mud cow entering the sea, and there was not a trace of waves on the calm sea.
I don't know the way out, but sit here and wait, then wait for old age to die. Either way, I'm going to give it a try.
As if to encourage her to try, when she just stood up, she saw a glimmer of light in front of her, was it a hallucination?
Qin Han tried his best to run towards the light, but it was only half a cup of tea that came to the end of the darkness.
Through the light, you can see several villages among the mountains.
The ancients wrote that "the ancient trees are high and low, the sun is far and near the mountains, the forest tops are like smoke, and the water outside the village is like a ring" is just such a scene.
The yearning for this peaceful world was just a momentary thought, and in the next second, the ground under Qin Han's feet began to collapse.
She was horrified and tried to stabilize her body, but found that she couldn't move at all, and at most she could only close her eyes as her body fell.
"Bang!" Qin Han fell from the sky and smashed into a pond, splashing a large splash, startling the flocks of ducks playing in the water and fleeing with their wings.
"Ah, Aunt Li, what do you think is that?"
Zhang Erniu threw the mallet in her hand, pointed to the huge wave in the center of the pond, and opened her mouth wide.
"I think...... Should...... It should be a person! Oh, it's broken! Save someone!"
Aunt Li threw away the brush and clothes in her hand, plunged into the water, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving only a few ripples on the surface of the water.
"Eh, Aunt Li, your clothes!"
Zhang Erniu saw that the Li family's aunt had long been gone, so she had to help her get the clothes that had drifted away.
A quarter of an hour later, a little pale girl lay in a humble hut.
"Whose child is this? Fall from such a high place and do evil!"
"That's it, thanks to Aunt Li, you are washing clothes in the pool, otherwise this will be the consequence. ”
"I don't know which father and mother killed a thousand knives to let such a big child suffer this kind of crime. ”
"If I push harder, I should be able to spit the water out. After Aunt Li finished speaking, she immediately raised her fan-like palm and pressed the little girl's chest.
"Ahem, cough, cough!" Qin Han opened his eyes in a daze, and spit out all the water in his stomach with difficulty, accompanied by a burst of retching, "Vomit and vomit!"
"Child, you're awake. ”
The first person Qin Han saw when he opened his eyes was this Aunt Li.
"Where is this?"
A young woman next to her hurriedly said, "This is Niushan Village, where is your home, little girl?
"My name is Qin Han, and my home is in the Shanyuan Continent. ”
Seeing that everyone in the room looked confused, she asked again, "...... you You should know about the Shanyuan Continent, right?"
Aunt Li helped Qin Han up, "Child, we have never heard of the Shanyuan Continent you said, we only know Zhao Guo." ”
"Yes, there are many villages in Zhao Kingdom, maybe people from other villages know about the Shanyuan Continent?" a middle-aged man patted his head and said with a smile.
"Yes, child, you can live here in peace. In a few days, the young people of the village will go to the market to sell firewood, so you will go along and ask the people from other villages. ”
As she spoke, Aunt Li turned around and took out a few clean clothes from the little girl from the closet and put them next to Qin Han's bed, and went to help her prepare the bath water.
When they saw this, they all dispersed.
The night in the countryside is not only surprisingly quiet, but also surprisingly dark. Except for a few bits and pieces of starlight in the sky, it was almost all pitch black.
After washing, Qin Han picked up the clothes next to the bed and was about to put them on, and found that these clothes were all newly sewn, presumably these were prepared by Aunt Li for her grandchildren.
She put on "someone else's gift" with a little weakness, and wanted to habitually use internal force to dry her hair.
Originally, she just tried it, but she was pleasantly surprised to find that she could use internal force here, but when she wanted to enter the space, she failed.
Helpless, she had no choice but to sit on the bed and think about what to do now. It seems that I only hope to get the news I want at the market tomorrow.
"Tuk tuk. ”
Aunt Li's voice sounded outside the door, "Little girl, it's time to eat." ”
"Oh, I'm coming!"
Qin Han hurriedly got out of bed, walked to the bathtub and scooped a spoonful of water, drenched his hair slightly, and then went out with confidence.
This courtyard is not big, and it is not dilapidated, but it is indeed the first time that Qin Han has lived in such a humble courtyard again.
"Come and eat. Aunt Li set up a table of food, and looked at Qin Han again, "The little girl is really handsome, girls should wear lively clothes, those boys' clothes are too dull." ”
Qin Han touched his nose, he was still wearing the clothes of "Qin Gongzi" during the day, which was obviously not easy to explain.
"The meal is so sumptuous, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it. She quickly diverted the subject. I've been hungry for a day, even if there is only one cold steamed bun Qin Han at this time, he can swallow it in one bite, let alone a hot meal.
In the past, I basically ate delicacies from the mountains and seas in the house, but now I have a special taste when I try this small dish. In just a few breaths, she finished a bowl of rice.
Aunt Li stretched out her hand to take the empty bowl in Qin Han's hand, "Eat more if it's delicious, I'll give you another bowl." ”
Noticing that Aunt Li's bowl was always empty, Qin Han had some understanding of the family's economic situation. The sumptuous dishes on the table in front of you may only be able to be tasted once a year and a half.
She hurriedly hid the rice bowl in her hand, waved her hand and said, "No...... No need, I usually eat a bowl of rice, and you can eat it too, auntie. ”
When Aunt Li saw the little girl in front of her, her eyes were unconsciously full of water, and she said softly, "Okay, good, Auntie will eat too." ”
After eating, Qin Han habitually took out a brocade handkerchief to wipe her mouth, fortunately, she still had two or three handkerchiefs that were not in the space, and it was okay to change them during this time.
Aunt Li looked at the fine brocade that was used to make a handkerchief, and then looked at the coarse cloth clothes she gave to Qin Han, and her face suddenly became embarrassed, "Presumably the girl's family background is excellent." ”
Qin Han didn't know what she meant, "Auntie, although my family background is good, I am also from the army, and I am not the kind of squeamish daughter." During these days, I don't eat and drink in vain with you, and although I am too young to do anything, I can still do the work of washing dishes. ”
In the end, Aunt Li couldn't resist Qin Han, so she had to promise to wash the dishes by her from tonight.
Looking at the silhouette of the woman reflected in the window, sewing stitches and threads, her clothes that had been torn in the wind during the day, a soft place in her heart was slightly sour.
That can probably be called a memory before her death, children love to play, and clothes are easy to break, so grandma helps her sew and mend clothes at night, and she fights with lights in the study......
"Whew-whew-"
A gust of wind blew, blowing the old trees in the courtyard non-stop, as if they were about to bend their waists in the next second, and at this time, Qin Han also finished washing the last plate.
"Little girl, it's windy, get inside!"
Aunt Li had already thrown away the needle and thread in her hand and hurriedly ran to the courtyard to close the courtyard door.
Taking advantage of the fact that Aunt Li didn't pay attention at this time, Qin Han moved into the kitchen with a slight movement of his internal force, put down the dishes in his hand, and immediately entered his room.
The wind outside is getting louder and louder, and you can faintly hear the voice coming from outside the door, "Little girl, don't come out, it's windy outside, turn off the lights and go to bed." ”
Qin Han turned off the lights as she said, and it wasn't until she heard that the door next door was also closed, and she closed her eyes with confidence.
