The girl huddled in the corner was startled, trembling and struggling to wake up from the darkness as long and chaotic as ancient times.
"stand up!"
The bucket was also smashed down and dropped on the girl's small body.
Liu Sanniang put her hands on her hips and looked at the girl angrily: "You're so lazy, why don't you want to do the work in the yard? Just tell me if you don't want to do it, and I'll send you to death right now!"
The girl raised her head, her eyes were a little dazed, and the mist gradually focused on the woman in front of her.
"Can't you hear that?" Liu Sanniang knelt down, grabbed the girl, raised her hand and slapped her, "Do you know what time it is now? Let me tell you, another group of refugees will come in a few days. If you don't do anything, just
Forget it!"
The girl was slapped so hard that her already confused eyes became even more blurry.
Seeing that her face was extremely rosy, Liu Sanniang frowned and raised her hand to put on her forehead, which was burning hot.
"You're so sick!" Liu Sanniang spat and let go of her, "Let me see how long you can live. If you don't have a good life, you will end up with a delicate body. Just wait for death."
Liu Sanniang stood up and took a few steps away. Before leaving, she turned back and said, "I'm going to clean the toilet tomorrow morning. I don't care whether you are sick or not. It's up to you if you can't clean it well."
The girl looked up at her. In her blurred vision, the woman cursed a few more times and turned around to leave.
With a "squeak" sound, the wooden door closed, and the room became quiet again.
The girl blinked her eyes blankly, leaned on the wooden board behind her and fell asleep again.
After a long time, the closed wooden door was pushed open again, and a small figure looked around and slipped in from the outside.
"Ah Li?" Xiao Wu reached out and pushed the girl.
Who is Ah Li...
Xia Zhaoyi opened her eyes, and a little girl in cloth was looking at her with a somewhat impatient expression.
"I'm calling you." Xiao Wu said displeasedly and put the two small porcelain bottles in her hands into her hands. "Here, these are what Mother Yu asked me to give to you."
The porcelain bottle is cool to the touch, which is very comfortable.
Xia Zhaoyi couldn't help but hold them tightly.
"Just now I washed the wild vegetables and sent them to the kitchen. I heard Liu Sanniang saying that you were sick and that she would hand you over to Lu Tanlang. You'd better get well soon." Xiao Wu said again.
Xia Zhaoyi was still very dizzy and didn't have time to think about the current situation, so she didn't answer.
She turned her head and looked around.
"Hey! You should answer." Xiao Wu called.
We were in a dilapidated wooden house, empty, with uneven dirt on the ground.
Xia Zhaoyi stretched out his fingers to dig out some soil on the ground and rubbed it gently in the palm of his hand. It turned out to be brown soil.
In addition to the damp and sour smell in the air, there is also a faint fishy smell, and there are even large areas of dull brown stains in many places on the walls, which are old and new blood stains.
torture chamber?
It's not like that, it's sunny outside, and no torture chamber is so polite as to open several large, bright windows.
It's not like a big family, no one dares to kill so openly and brutally.
Recalling that the woman before had always said the word "death" and was very violent, and she had mentioned refugees in her mouth, I am afraid that this is a black shop in the wilderness, or a bandit's stronghold that takes human life seriously.
"Hello!"
Xiao Wu shouted again, raising his voice a little higher.
Xia Zhaoyi looked back at her. The girl in front of her looked about ten years old.
His eyes are not big, but extremely bright, his nose is upturned and his mouth is small, and the bun on his head is a little loose.
The cloth on his body was very thin, and there were several blisters on his hands. One of the blisters was punctured, leaving some pus on it.
Some whip marks can be vaguely seen on the back of the neck. The wounds are healing, but it can still be seen that the wounds were not shallow at first.
Xia Zhaoyi lowered his head and looked at his hands, which seemed even more tragic.
I was dizzy when I woke up, so I didn't notice the condition of my body. Only now I realized that all the bones in my body seemed to be pulled out one by one and stuffed back one by one.
She climbed up holding on to the wooden wall behind her, walked to the side with the best sunlight, and opened the window with all her strength.
"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Wu watched her walking over, feeling something strange in his heart.
The wind blew in, refreshing and cold. Xia Zhaoyi raised his hand to take off his wet clothes, wring them out with all his strength, and hung them on the window sill to dry in the sun.
The sunshine outside the house is very good, and there is a big tree not far away. The leaves are more lush on the side of the wooden house where she is, which is the south side, and the sunlight comes from the left, which is the west side.
Looking at the tilt angle of the sun, it's getting late now, probably around midnight.
But the sun is still warm, and the cold sun quickly drives away the coldness on the body. It must be June or July now.
"What day is it today?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.
"June 12." Xiao Wu replied.
Xia Zhaoyi stretched out his left hand and gently tapped his index finger, middle finger and ring finger with his thumb.
Da'an.
The best of luck.
Xia Zhaoyi narrowed his eyes. Although he was proficient in the mystical sciences of Qi, he still found it somewhat unimaginable to be resurrected from the dead and reincarnated as a human being.
But, once it comes, let’s make peace with it.
"What's your name..." Xia Zhaoyi turned around and asked, then stopped.
"Call me Xiao Wu." Xiao Wu replied, not having any thoughts because he didn't know her.
Xia Zhaoyi nodded: "Yeah."
"Wu Tong's Wu, do you know how to write it?" Xiao Wu asked again.
She knew, but she didn't know whether Ah Li knew it, so she didn't know how to answer.
Xia Zhaoyi retracted her gaze and looked out the window, opened the small porcelain bottle, put it under her nose and smelled it.
"Why are you so weird..." Xiao Wu muttered, and then said, "I have to go back to work. You'd better get better soon, otherwise if Liu Sanniang doesn't let you go, Aunt Feng and Aunt Fang will also cause trouble for you.
."
"Well," Xia Zhaoyi nodded and looked back at her, "Thank you for sending me the medicine."
"You have to thank me. I came here secretly. If it weren't for Mother Yu's sake, I wouldn't care about you. You have to remember this favor of mine. I want you to pay it back in the future."
"Okay." Xia Zhaoyi responded.
Xiao Wu looked at her and wanted to say something. He moved his mouth but didn't know what to say.
I just feel that this Ah Li in front of me is indescribably weird. Although I never have any contact with him in the backyard, something is wrong.
"Xiancai," Xia Zhaoyi took the initiative this time, "I didn't ignore you on purpose. My head hurts too much and my ears are still ringing."
Xiao Wu pursed his lips and nodded: "Okay."
She took another deep look at Xia Zhaoyi and said, "Then I'm leaving."
"Um."
Xiao Wu left, the wooden door creaked, and the cabin returned to silence.
Xia Zhaoyi sat down on the ground and looked up at the sky outside. Several birds flew by, and it seemed that she could hear the sound of flapping wings very softly.
She closed her eyes tiredly, raised her hands to support her head, and massaged it gently.
