Qi Yue closed the door and walked out. Soon, I heard the sound of a car engine outside.
I tried to get off the ground, but I was so dizzy that I didn't have much strength. I could only hold on to the head of the bed and stand for a while. Then I fell back on the bed due to the general weakness of my body.
There were three gentle knocks on the door.
"Who?" I stared at the door of the room warily like a frightened animal.
"Young madam, I am Mrs. Chen. When the young master left, he told you that you were awake. I made some porridge and served it to you." A strange female voice came from outside the door.
I breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "Come in!"
Now I don't even know where I am, and my body is extremely weak. Maybe eating something can give me some strength, and maybe I can find a chance to escape.
Mrs. Chen opened the door, holding a mahogany tray in her hand. On the tray were a small bone china bowl and a small leaf-shaped green plate.
I looked at the woman who came in. She was in her forties, with a fair complexion and a yellowish complexion. Her hair was neatly and meticulously combed back, revealing a few wrinkles on her forehead.
The corners of her eyes were slightly drooped, making her look honest and simple. A black mole the size of a mung bean on her chin added some joy to her ordinary face. She was dressed in dark blue clothes and trousers, with a white apron tied in front of her.
Clean and neat.
He doesn't look like a very shrewd and cunning person.
"Young Madam, you have been lying down for two days. The Young Master is very anxious. Fortunately, you are awake now." Mrs. Chen put the tray in her hand on the bedside table. There was vegetable and lean meat porridge in the bone china bowl, and vegetable and lean meat porridge in the leaf plate.
It's some side dishes like pickles.
"Sister-in-law Chen, I'm not a young lady. Just call me Hu Ling. Has Qi Yue left?" I asked Aunt Chen tentatively.
"Well, I just left. There seems to be something going on at the company. Please tell me to take good care of you." Mrs. Chen picked up the bowl, scooped it out with a spoon, and handed it to me. "You can try it to see if it suits your taste. If you don't like it, I'll give it to you."
I’ll get you something else.”
I gently pushed the bowl in her hand and said, "Put it down first, Mrs. Chen, where are we? Can you call a taxi for me?"
"The young master said that you are not well yet and not suitable to go out." Mrs. Chen looked at me, paused and said: "Young madam, you look at how thin you are, so you should eat something. No matter what you are arguing with the young master,
What’s the contradiction? The body is always your own, and if you eat something, you’ll be more energetic, right?”
I looked at her without saying a word, then thought about it and took the bowl from her hand.
She is right, my body is my own. No matter where I am now, I am so weak that if I don't eat something, it will be delusional to escape.
After eating the porridge in one mouthful, Mrs. Chen looked at me and smiled happily: "That's right. People are like iron rice and steel. If you don't eat for one meal, you will starve. You are still young. Although you have suffered some injuries,
You recover quickly, so I'll go down first and stew a grass chicken for you to eat at night, which can nourish your qi and blood."
I nodded towards her.
Mrs. Chen walked out of the bedroom with a happy face and closed the door.
After eating something, my stomach felt a lot warmer. My head was still a little dizzy, but sleepiness also came over me. I slowly lay down on the head of the bed. No matter what, I had to take good care of myself before I could make any other plans.
It was already dark when I woke up, and it was pitch black outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.
I reached out to fumble for the switch on the bedside, turned on the light, and found that my strength seemed to have recovered.
I tried to get off the ground again. Although my head was still a little dizzy, I was able to walk well.
When I opened the door, I discovered that this was a villa, with a crystal chandelier hanging on the high dome, and the light was very bright.
This is a bedroom on the second floor. Outside the bedroom is a corridor. You can see the layout of the lobby on the first floor. A staircase with a mahogany escalator winds in an arc leading to the corridor on the second floor.
I walked along the stairs to the first floor and found a large kitchen on the side of the hall. Mrs. Chen was busy in the kitchen.
Hearing the noise, Mrs. Chen turned around and saw me. She said with surprise: "Madam, you're up. I'm right. You feel better after eating. Are you hungry? I
I'm giving it to you, it'll be ready soon."
Sister-in-law Chen speaks with a strong Jiangzhou accent, speaks very fast, and has a boldness unique to Jiangzhou women.
I smiled at her, walked towards the door, and opened the metal carved door.
It was pitch dark outside the door, and there were no lights near or far, but through the light from inside the house, one could see a large courtyard and a vaguely high courtyard wall.
"Young Madam, it's very cold in the mountains. If you want to go out in the yard, you'd better put on some clothes." Mrs. Chen's voice came from the kitchen.
It turns out this is in the mountains.
No wonder there was no light at all. I stood at the door for a moment, then closed the door again, returned to the living room, walked to the dining table and sat down.
Mrs. Chen quickly brought the chicken noodle soup, put it in front of me and said, "Try to see if it tastes like it. I stewed that grass chicken for four hours, and the meat melted into the soup. It's best to eat it like this."
Replenish the body.”
I lowered my head and looked at the bowl in front of me. The snow-white silver noodles, the light yellow chicken soup, and the oil slick had all been carefully skimmed off. Sprinkled with chopped green onions, the delicious aroma of the chicken soup lingered on my nose. Just looking at it made people feel delicious.
And not boring.
I am indeed a little hungry.
"Thank you, Mrs. Chen, the food you cooked is delicious." I took a few mouthfuls of noodles, raised my head and looked at her and said sincerely.
"It's fine if you think it tastes good. You haven't eaten for two days, so I just made these easy-to-melt dishes for you today. I'll fry you two appetizers tomorrow and keep them for you to keep fat.
"Sister-in-law Chen tilted her head and looked at my face and said.
"I'll be out of here soon." I said softly.
Mrs. Chen looked at me with some pity and said: "No matter what, before you leave, you must take good care of your body, and don't stop skipping meals. In fact, the young master is really good to you. He even gave you a nap in the afternoon."
I made two or three phone calls to ask."
I smiled bitterly and turned to ask Sister-in-law Chen: "Sister-in-law Chen, where is this place? Is it just the two of us?"
Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting me to ask this question.
"Why, Qi Yue won't you tell me where this is? Then forget it, I can't embarrass you." I stopped looking at her and lowered my head to continue eating noodles.
"Oh, that's not the case. I'm just surprised that you don't even know where this place is. Madam, haven't you and the young master been here before? The young master said that this is your new house, and that you like it very much and will never come here again.
I'll go out soon." Mrs. Chen said.
I looked up at her and said, "I have never been here, let alone his wife. I am only nineteen years old and was kidnapped by him."
When Mrs. Chen heard what I said, her mouth suddenly opened wide. After staring at me for a long time, she suddenly stood up and said: "Young lady, please eat slowly. I still have a lot of things to do in the kitchen. Let's go to work first."
