During a plane crash, Su Li transmigrates into a female-oriented ancient romance novel. She becomes the male lead's early-deceased white moonlight wife and the soft, easily bullied mother of tw...
Su Li was indeed hungry, so he took the steamed bun and started eating. Only when he was full would he have the energy to think about other things.
The steamed buns were not big, and I finished both of them in a short while. After drinking some water, I finally felt full.
After all, she had a high fever for three days, and Su Li still felt a little weak. She lay on the bed again, looking at the thatched roof with some sadness.
She can never go back, right?
The modern one with adoptive parents and younger brother.
But at least, she survived in another way. This might be God's blessing to her. She must live well!
Before she knew it, she fell asleep again.
"Auntie Sang, Sister Mo has fallen asleep."
"I'm not fully recovered yet, I should rest more..."
After an unknown amount of time, Su Li, in a daze, heard someone talking in a low voice and smelled the aroma of food.
She sniffed unconsciously and slowly opened her eyes. It was already dark outside the window.
"Hey! Sister Mo, are you awake?"
Ah Xiu's eyes sparkled.
Su Li curled her lips and stood up: "A Xiu, Aunt Mo, you are back?"
"Yes," Ah Xiu pointed at the food on the table and said, "We brought you some food, Sister Mo, come and eat!"
"Thank you!" Su Li was not polite and stood up and walked to the table.
The meal was a large bowl filled with half a bowl of rice, a green vegetable and two pieces of braised pork.
This food is really good for a place like the Black Mine where people are eaten.
There was no chair at the table, so she could only carry the bowl to the bedside and sit down to eat.
"By the way, Sister Mo, your old things are all under the bed. Aunt Sang put them away for you."
"I understand. Thank you, Aunt Sang..."
After dinner, Su Li dug out the things that Ah Xiu had mentioned that were hers from under the bed.
The thing was wrapped in a piece of whitish coarse cloth. She opened the cloth and found a dress that was extremely dirty.
Ah Xiu said from the side, "That's your clothes. I don't know what it got stained with, but you can't even tell what it was originally. No matter how hard I try to wash it, it won't get clean."
When she changed Sister Mo's clothes, she took them to wash, but no matter how much she scrubbed, she couldn't get rid of the dirt on them.
"It doesn't matter. Just throw it away if it can't be washed off." She looked at the gray coarse linen clothes she was wearing, which were the same as A Xiu and the others. It turned out that this was the one A Xiu had changed for her.
Under the dress is a... hidden arrow?
She picked up the hidden arrow and looked at it.
There are no arrow feathers, and the hidden blade is broken...
Um?
How did she know it was broken?
By the way, in the original novel, the heroine Mo Qingcheng carried a hidden arrow with her.
So she knew the hidden arrow was broken, was it because of the muscle memory of this body?
Next to the hidden arrow was a silver bracelet and a ruby and gold tassel earring.
Aunt Sang explained while folding clothes: "Miss Mo, when we found you by the river, you only had this one earring left on you..."
Su Li naturally understood the implication of her words. She nodded and said, "The other one was probably washed away by the water. I'm lucky that there's still one left."
Seeing that she didn't doubt her intention, Aunt Sang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and reminded her, "These things are quite valuable, right? Don't show your wealth to others. You have to hide it well."
Su Li thanked him: "I understand. Thank you, Aunt Sang, for reminding me."
Su Li put the silver bracelet on his hand, then picked up the hidden sword very naturally and buckled it on his forearm with a "click".
The moment she fastened the button, she was stunned. This skillful technique seemed to have been done countless times before. Was it from the heroine's muscle memory?
After thinking about it, she fastened the ruby earrings to the hidden sword and screwed the ear hooks shut. In this way, the earrings were firmly fastened to the hidden arrow.
Ah Xiu was stunned watching from the side: "Sister Mo, what is that?"
"This?" Su Li knew she was asking about the hidden arrow, so he just replied perfunctorily, "My family bought it for me. It's a little gadget we have on the border, just for fun."
After all, it is a lethal weapon. In the original novel, it is a very powerful hidden weapon. If the manager of the mine knew about it, it would only cause trouble for her.
At this moment, she was very glad that Aunt Sang took away her things as soon as she saw her, thus avoiding some trouble.
Ah Xiu seems to be heartless, so it’s better not to let her know.
"oh……"
Just as he put down his sleeves, two women came into the room, both of them were around twenty years old.
Ah Xiu introduced: "Sister Mo, this is Sister Thirteen, and this is Sister Ying'er."
The woman named Thirteen nodded, and then did what she was supposed to do. She was obviously a person of few words.
The woman named Ying'er tilted her head and glanced at Su Li: "Hey! Mo Qingcheng, you're finally awake. Remember you have to work tomorrow."
Different from the other people in the room who were wearing gray clothes, Ying'er was wearing a brand new peach-pink dress, which made her figure look more curvy.
Her facial features are also exquisite. In short, according to Su Li's aesthetic point of view, she is quite beautiful.
I just don’t know why he would be with them dressed like this. Is he also working in the kitchen?
She smiled back, "It's time to work."
Then he looked at Ah Xiu: "Ah Xiu, where is the toilet?"
Urgent...
"Left side of the door, I'll take you there!"
The two of them went out after talking.
As soon as he walked out the door, Su Li looked around.
It was already dark at this time. In the moonlight, she could clearly see a bare mountain top behind her and a dense forest in front of her.
They were probably halfway up the mountain.
To make sure, she asked, "Are we halfway up the mountain?"
"Yes, do you see that bare area in the back? That's the mine. There are over a hundred people working there right now."
"What about at night?"
"Yes, divided into two groups, one at night and one during the day."
“Oh…” Day shift and night shift.
"What about down the mountain? What's down the mountain?"
"There's a river at the foot of the mountain called Huandu River. Beyond that are mountains, and beyond those mountains are more mountains. I'm not from here, so I don't know anything else."
There was a famine in her hometown. In order to reduce the burden on her parents and to ensure that her younger brothers and sisters had enough food to eat, she voluntarily sold herself into slavery. She originally thought that she would work as a maid in a wealthy family, but she didn't expect to end up here.
But apart from the fact that you can't leave the mountains, this place is pretty good, with enough food and warm clothes.
"This mine is so strictly managed, there must be a lot of people guarding it down there, right?"
"Yes, there are many people watching, Sister Su, you can't move around. This is a confidential mine. If you move around, you will be accidentally injured. Previously, a slave ran down the mountain and was shot by the guards. He almost died."
Su Li curled up the corners of his mouth, probably thinking that he wanted to escape.
While the two were talking, they arrived at the toilet.
The mine has a rule that no outsiders are allowed to wander around in the mountains after dark.
So the two of them went to the toilet and went straight back to the mud house, then blew out the lights and went to bed.
