The days passed like a stagnant water, and in the blink of an eye it was a month later.
None of the three five spirit roots detected chose to go to Lingxiao City. There was no way, it was too far. The people in the village had only been to Pingwu City. If Lingxiao City was not the location of the immortal gate, the immortal masters who came to recruit disciples would occasionally go there.
Mentioned it, they would not know this place.
I just sighed that my luck was bad for a few days. If I didn't have this fate, the matter would be over.
That day Xia Ya left her clothes behind and was beaten up by her parents. She was ridiculed so much that she didn't escape until she reached the foot of the mountain. She lay in the house for more than ten days, watching her parents look at her.
His eyes were all wrong, so he had to push himself up and get up, feeling scared and worried. ωωw..net
That day, while she was hunting pigweed at the entrance of the village, she suddenly saw a strange man staring at her as if he were looking at a piece of pork. She was so satisfied that she ran to the village chief's house in fright.
The village chief went to drive the people away and said to her with complicated eyes,
"Xia Ya, please be more careful these days."
Xia Ya's suspicion was verified: they were really going to sell her!
Just like when she sold her eldest sister!
When she returned home, Xia Ya had already resigned herself to her fate. She just hoped that her parents could choose a better family for her, just like her eldest sister. Being a child bride would be busy from beginning to end, but she would at least have food to eat, clothes to wear, and wait for her eldest sister.
After giving birth to a son, his behavior is no different from that of a serious married woman.
A few days ago, the eldest sister came to see her and brought her some peach cakes. She looked much better.
She kept comforting herself in her heart, but Xia Ya made a pot of steamed buns with a shake of her hand and made a pot of steamed buns. Naturally, she was scolded again. Her father raised his hand to hit her, but her mother persuaded her to stop.
"It doesn't look good if it's broken."
Xia Ya lowered her head.
At night, Xia Ya quietly got up and came to her parents' house, pricking up her ears and listening to the conversation inside.
"Then Chunyi Tower is really willing to give you one hundred taels?"
"Of course, our Xia Ya is good-looking, has inherited the good looks from you and me, and has also been tested for immortality. Although the Immortal Sect does not want it, it is an immortality after all, and it must not be more expensive than others?"
"You have to give me sixty taels of the one hundred taels. I gave birth to Xia Ya, and you have never cared about her."
"No, I can only give you twenty taels."
"Back then, you took 20 taels of Chunya's gift and gave me 5 taels. Now you must give me 60 taels, otherwise I will make a fuss until the whole village knows about this scandal and people will laugh at you for selling your daughter as a child.
Enter the brothel!"
"you dare!"
"Do you think I dare?"
After a moment of silence, Mrs. Zhang's voice became softer again, "I have the head of the family again. This time it is different from the one in Huaichun Ya and Xia Ya. It must be a son. I have to take good supplements. What I eat is also what your son eats."
"
…
Xia Ya could no longer hear the rest. She leaned against the wall and slowly slid to the ground. She covered her face with her hands and tried her best to control her crying.
Half an hour later, when the early spring weather gradually chilled Xia Ya's blood, she calmed down and a look of determination flashed in her eyes.
She quickly returned to her room, wrapped her only clothes and copper coins in a tattered bedcloth, and then went to the kitchen to pack the leftover cornstarch and pickled fish and bacon that could only be eaten during the New Year, etc. She also carefully moved the cabinets
, there is a hole here.
Mrs. Zhang didn't dare to put the money in her room because her father would dig through it, so she kept it in two places, both outside the house. This was an advantage for Xia Ya at the moment.
Xia Ya carried her baggage and ran all the way up the mountain.
She saw a sister from her village who was also sold to Chunyi Tower. She died within a month. She was thrown out of the city by the people from Chunyi Tower. An old beggar kindly carried her to Yizhuang. Who knows what happened?
Such a woman was filthy and despicable, and she was not allowed to pollute the land of Yizhuang, so she united with many villagers and threw her into the back mountains to be fed to the wolves.
Xia Ya was in the crowd at that time. She took a look from a distance and felt cold all over her body.
It was winter at that time, and people died slowly. Xia Ya could see that the other party's body was covered with wounds, with pus flowing out, and his face was ferocious, which was enough to show how painful he was during his life.
At this point, all the girls in the village are extremely afraid of Chunyi Tower.
Within two years, another person wanted to sell the niece of the eldest brother's family. The niece heard the news in advance and ran away secretly. She originally planned to find a way to make a living elsewhere, but she was caught back on the seventh day. The person from Chunyi Tower
They even escorted the half-beaten people around their village, warning them that this would be the consequences for escaping.
Xia Ya knew that she was younger than her sister, so she couldn't escape to the town or county. She could only go to the mountains. There were wolves on the mountains, so she might not dare to enter Chunyi Tower.
And the reason why she ran up the mountain that day was because she heard an uncle from the Orion family said that she could go to other counties through the mountains and forests.
If it was really that bad, Xia Ya would rather die in the mountains and be eaten by wolves than suffer another round of torture in her lifetime!
Xia Ya ran up the mountain desperately.
The dark forest looked like the mouth of a ferocious beast, but she was not afraid at all. She just ran as hard as she could, fearing that if she ran too slow, her parents would find out and find someone to catch her.
He sat down on the ground until he couldn't run anymore.
Xia Ya fumbled and started a fire with flint and steel. The fire warmed her and gave her a sense of security.
My uncle once said that ferocious animals are afraid of fire.
Xia Ya squinted for a while, not daring to sleep. Fortunately, she usually had to work and didn't sleep much.
On the way, he heard the howl of a wolf approaching, so he didn't dare to delay, and quickly climbed up the tree. While beating it with a stick, he pulled out a snake. Xia Ya, who was a little confused, woke up and used a stick to check the tree.
, Fortunately, the trees here are not very dense, and the moon is quite bright, so Xia Ya can see it.
This was due to the animal livers she had tried her best to obtain for herself.
This lasted until dawn.
Xia Ya ate two cold and hard steamed buns, hesitated for a moment, and did not go deeper. Instead, she tried to cross the forest sideways to go to the other place that her uncle had mentioned.
At noon, Xia Ya found a water source, but she also bumped into a tiger drinking water. She almost quickly climbed up the tree and hid in the tree, hoping that the tiger would not see her.
However, the tiger slowly drank the water and then arrived at the Xia Ya tree exactly.
Xia Ya's heart was lifted.
The tiger circled the tree and actually started to climb the tree.
Xia Ya tried her best to climb higher. She ate less and was very light. The villagers usually talked about her with a regretful tone, asking her to eat more, otherwise she would not grow well and her husband's family would dislike her.
Xia Ya once felt very inferior, but now she is extremely grateful for this.
Although she was ready to die on the mountain, Xia Ya still didn't want to die. In extreme fear, she didn't know if it was Xia Ya's illusion, but she seemed to see a hint of amusement in the tiger's eyes.
Uncle said that the tiger was a big cat, and cats are good at climbing trees, but now the tiger climbed slowly, especially like the old cat in the village chief's house that played with mice.
Xia Ya quickly climbed to the top of the tree. The branches here were very thin, and even though Xia Ya was light, they were swaying as if they were about to fall. Xia Ya knew she couldn't go on like this, so she stretched out her hand to grab the leaves and threw them at the tiger.
This won't hurt the tiger, but it is a very provocative move.
