Chapter 4 Escape

Han Dajun buried his head in eating the steamed buns in big mouthfuls, completely ignoring the pleading look from his daughter Han Guihua. Han Jiabao gloated over the half piece of steamed bread that belonged to Yike and put it into his own bowl.

Yike walked out of the door carrying the basket on his back without even looking at those ugly faces.

The grass now has a new soul, so it doesn’t care about this half steamed bun, right? Whoever wants to earn work points can go. She wants to go to the mountain to get some food to fill her stomach first.

As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, his sister Han Guihua came running after him, shouting, so Yike had no choice but to stop and wait.

"Here you go! Eat it when we get to the mountain." Sister Han Guihua took out half a hot steamed bun and stuffed it into her hand.

"No! Eat it yourself. I'll go to the mountain to find food." Yike knew that this was her sister's own ration, and if she ate it, her sister would be hungry.

"Here! I drank an extra bowl of wild vegetable porridge, so I'm not hungry." Sister Guihua stuffed the steamed bun into her hand and turned away. After walking a few steps, he turned around and shouted, "Don't go in, just look around the periphery, it's dangerous inside."

Yike thought that a person like Yang Huaihua could raise such a kind-hearted daughter. Isn't it just like the saying "crooked bamboos become straight shoots"?

With a new heart, Yi Ke worked as a workhorse in Hanjiagou. She earned work points during working hours and went to the forest to collect firewood after work. She also went into the mountains to look for edible wild vegetables and wild fruits, but she knew that there had been droughts in recent years, and she was extremely lucky to find three or two wild fruits. In fact, there was one time when she was really lucky and she hit a pheasant with a stone in a valley. Although the pheasant was skinny and had only two pitifully small pieces of chicken meat, the bones were still delicious when chewed.

I always thought that life would go on like this until that day when my aunt's daughter Xiaoliu brought me a piece of news.

"Sister Xiaocao, I want to tell you a secret. Don't let anyone know that it was me who said it. Especially don't tell your mother." Xiaoliu sneaked up to Yike who was weeding in the field and whispered.

"What's the matter? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Yi Ke said in a low voice.

"I heard your mother tell my mother last night that she wanted to marry you to Sha Da Wang from Honeycomb Village, and that family gave five yuan as a betrothal gift." Xiao Liu said while looking around, afraid that someone would see them.

"Did you receive the money?"

"I took it. Your mother even showed it off to my mother." Xiaoliu made a five gesture.

"I understand. You can go back." Yi Ke said expressionlessly.

"Sister Xiaocao, that's Sha Da Wang, a fool who has beaten people to death! You'd better think of a solution quickly! You can't marry him, or you will die." Xiao Liu was anxious.

"What can we do! The betrothal money has been received, and Yang Huaihua will return it. It's impossible!" Yi Ke said with a sad face.

"Go find the captain, he will help you." Xiaoliu suggested.

"The captain can only help for a while, not for a lifetime. When the captain is gone, she can quietly send me over, it will be the same." Xiao Caoer said. I thought to myself: "Yang Huaihua can definitely do it. When the time comes, it's already a done deal. What else can the captain do?"

"Oh! There's really nothing we can do. She is your mother, how could she do this!" Xiaoliu walked away dejectedly.

As soon as Xiaoliu left, Yike squatted down with his head in his hands, tears rolling down his cheeks. This is the original body's emotion, and Yi Ke cannot control it. I believe that from now on I will be able to let go completely.

"Get over here!"

As soon as Yi Ke returned home, he was dragged over by Yang Huaihua and beaten with a broomstick.

"I'll beat you to death, you lazy bastard."

"You cheap bastard, you shameless lazy bum, you rotten-hearted and unfilial daughter. I work so hard to feed you, but you don't even come home to cook and just slack off outside." The broom handle hit the wound that had not yet healed.

"It hurts so fucking much!" Yike cursed in his heart.

In fact, in her previous life, Yi Ke had learned kung fu from a master. Although she doesn't have the strength to fight now, she can still evade. The last time she was beaten badly was because Han Jiabao caught her. Today she would not be so foolish as to let the stick hit her body. Of course, she would still have to be hit once or twice, otherwise she would not be able to get away with it.

"Mom, stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!"

"Get out of here, don't stop me, I'm going to beat this lazy bastard to death today."

Yang Huaihua took the broom and swung it to hit Yi Ke again and again.

After all, Yike was young and weak, and he hadn't eaten, so he was panting after running a few steps. Yang Huaihua grabbed him and started beating him with sticks like raindrops.

Yike was beaten again, and his already tattered clothes became even more tattered. Drops of blood oozed out of the rotten cloth.

"You cheap girl, you're a sly, lazy bastard. It's dark and you don't come home to cook and wait for me to serve you. I'm going to beat you to death! I'm going to beat you to death!" Yang Huaihua came home from work and saw that the stove was still empty. She instantly became furious and when she saw Yi Ke, she picked up the broom behind the door and started beating him.

After hearing what Xiaoliu said in the afternoon, Yike was sad for a long time. She finished the farm work assigned to her late, so she got off work late and had no time to cook.

The furious Yang Huaihua whipped Yike desperately. Yike broke free from Yang Huaihua's grip and dodged here and there. He didn't dare to fight back but also wanted to avoid being hit in the vital parts. His skinny body was beaten horribly.

"Mom, you must beat her to death. This damn girl stole chicken in the mountains that day and didn't even say she would bring it back for you. She is an unfilial daughter who eats alone and should be beaten to death." Han Jiabao remembered that day when Lai Pi said he saw Yi Ke roasting a pheasant in the mountains. He was so greedy, but the damn girl didn't even bring it back for him.

"What! You're still stealing chicken! Why don't you go to heaven? You steal chicken and your whole family has nothing to eat, and you still dare to steal chicken. Why don't you just die!" Yang Huaihua chased and beat Yi Ke even more frantically.

Although her body is only thirteen years old, her soul is already several dozen years old. It is obvious that Yang Huaihua has lost her mind and is almost like a mad woman. If she continues to fight like this, she will be dead soon.

"Help! Help!" Yike cried and shouted while hiding.

I really don't want to be beaten to death like this, what should I do? It would be great if Baidu’s confidant sister was here, I can wait for you online!

Suddenly, Yike saw her sister who was very memorable next to her, and a plan immediately came to her mind. She said "I'm sorry" in her heart and hid behind her sister Han Guihua.

"You dare to run!" Yang Huaihua chased after her and hit her with a broom handle. Her sister Han Guihua stood there in a daze, unable to come to her senses for a while. When she saw Yang Huaihua's broom stick coming at her, she didn't know how to dodge. Seeing that the stick was about to hit her on the head, Yang Huaihua was afraid of hurting Han Guihua, so he turned the hand holding the broom in abruptly, and with a "bang", it hit the backpack next to him. The backpack was hit so hard that it rolled far away, and the broom handle broke with a snap.

If this stick really hits someone, he will be skinned alive even if he doesn't die.

Sister Han Guihua was so scared that she burst into tears for a long time. I don’t know if she did it on purpose or she was really scared. She threw herself into Yang Huaihua’s arms, hugged her tightly, and cried loudly.

"Escape!" This is a rare opportunity. If I don't escape now, my life will be over.

So Yike rushed to the door, rushed out of the gate, and immediately turned left and ran towards the back mountain.

Only by running into the mountains can Yang Huaihua be lost, and this home can never be returned.

"Where are you running, you money-loser? Stop! I'll break your legs if you run again!" Yang Huaihua saw that Yi Ke had run away. She didn't care about her baby anymore and immediately rushed out with a broom to chase her.

Yang Huaihua chased him and cursed: "You money-loser, you unfilial thing, you are so bold that you dare to run! This is outrageous, I will catch you and break your legs. Let's see if you dare to run away again?"

"Yang Huaihua, he hit your little Cao'er again! He's such a good child, why don't you like him?" An aunt saw it and shouted to Yang Huaihua.

"It's not that I don't like you, I just treat you as my enemy. Yang Huaihua, did Xiaocao'er take your life in your previous life? You should take revenge in this life. You are so cruel to Xiaocao'er, aren't you afraid of retribution in your next life?" Another aunt also looked down on Yang Huaihua's behavior.

"Hey! Xiaocao'er ran in the wrong direction. The team leader is over there." A member thought that Xiaocao'er was going to find the team leader and hurriedly pointed in the direction.

"You shameless bastards, what do you have to do with my family affairs? He's my own child, I can beat him if I want. You're meddling too much, you're not good people." Yang Huaihua scolded the members.

One can run as fast as he can, but his calves are short and he can never outrun an adult with long legs. I heard the shouting and cursing getting closer and closer. With a blink of an eye, he lowered his head, protected his head with one hand, and pulled aside the thorny bush with the other hand, then crawled into it. Then he pushed the bushes together, curled up into a ball, and hid in the bush. Even though he was grimacing with pain all over his body, he dared not make a sound. Yi Ke secretly hated in his heart: "This is really a case of a tiger in plain land being bullied by a dog."

As soon as he hid, Yang Huaihua chased him to the edge of the woods, dragging the broom while chasing him, shouting and cursing, as if she would not stop until she caught up with him and killed him. People who don’t know would think there is a huge hatred and grudge between them.

Yang Huaihua walked through the thorn bushes and chased into the woods, cursing all the time.

When Yi Ke saw Yang Huaihua running away, she didn't dare to come out and still hid motionlessly in the bushes.

Sure enough, Yang Huaihua chased for a while, and when he didn't see anyone, he walked back, slapping the surrounding grass with a broom handle and cursing as he walked. "You hid in the bushes and thought you had escaped. You were dreaming! I'll find you and twist your tendons. Let's see if you dare to run again. Tomorrow I'll let Da Wang from Honeycomb Village take this money-loser back."

Yike curled up even tighter.
