Chapter 6 Survival in the Cracks 1

Chapter 6 Surviving in the Crack (1)

"Thank you."

He leaned closer to the door and whispered: "Thank you, aren't we friends? I have a big appetite. When I couldn't eat enough before, you were the only one who would share the food with me."

She always remembers whoever treats her well.

"Eat quickly, I brought you some water."

While talking, Guihua, who was standing at the door of the woodshed, stuffed a bamboo tube filled with water through the crack in the door.

Seeing Yu Lan take the water, Osmanthus fragrans whispered: "You eat first, and I will go back first."

Yu Lan nodded, "Okay, be careful on the road."

"knew."

Guihua responded and left quietly.

Yu Lan stood by the door of the woodshed. It wasn't until she heard footsteps leaving outside that she turned back and sat down by the bean grass.

The woodshed became quiet again.

Outside the window there was the whistling of the wind and the rustling of leaves, and in the woodshed there was the chirping of mice.

In such an atmosphere, people will always think of something else, so being locked up here is a test of your mental endurance.

Yu Lan is not very courageous. Being locked up here alone, she would be lying if she said she was not scared. But compared to those who are less timid, she is quite calm after being locked up here.

Sitting next to the pile of beans and hay, Yu Lan ate steamed buns and drank water. It wasn't until she finished eating the steamed buns that she felt stronger.

Two steamed buns were not a small amount, and with the addition of water Yu Lan was barely full.

After covering the remaining water and hiding it in his sleeves, Yu Lan lay on his side next to the bean grass and rested.

Obviously very tired.

But she couldn't sleep.

Instead, he started to think wildly.

Yu Lan was originally a peasant girl from a remote mountain village in Ding'an County. Her parents were ordinary farmers living at the lowest level, and they usually made a living by farming and chopping firewood.

My family was very poor when I was young, and my mother was very fertile. She gave birth to five daughters in succession, until the last one gave birth to a son.

And she happens to be the fifth one.

At home, her grandma is the head of the family, and her father is a bit foolish and filial. Grandma doesn't like them granddaughters very much. She even talks about them as losers and cheap girls.

Beating and scolding are commonplace.

Several times, when she was too poor to eat, her grandmother would pay attention to the sisters. Either she wanted to send the second sister to be a child bride in exchange for money, or she wanted to marry the eldest sister to an old man in the town as a concubine.

.

Fortunately, Lan's parents are both good people.

Even when he was too poor to take the blame, he never thought of selling them or marrying them off for money. In Yu Lan’s memory, the eldest sister and the second sister were both of marriageable age, so their parents looked after them and got married.

of.

I am undoubtedly lucky to have such parents.

However, Yu Lan was still sold.

She was only eight years old when she was sold. The person who sold her was none other than her own grandmother.

Yu Lan remembered that day, her grandma cooked her a bowl of egg drop soup for the first time. She was a little flattered, but she drank it happily.

At that time, eggs were rare items in the village and had to be kept in exchange for food. Usually, only the younger brothers could eat them. As for the sisters, who were what her grandma called money-losing goods, they naturally did not receive that kind of treatment.

After drinking the egg drop soup, Yu Lan fell asleep in a daze. When she woke up, she was already on the Renyazi carriage. Apparently, her grandmother secretly took her while her parents were working in the fields.

sold.

Yu Lan will never forget what Ren Yazi said to her when he took her deed of betrayal.

"Your mother has already sold you to me. You are pitiful for being so young."
