Chapter 2 Escape
Seeing the old woman looking at her face with doubt, Ling Jinsui hurriedly tightened the cloth on her face and said:
"That damn girl is so strong that she scratched my face."
The old woman took out a bag of silver with some suspicion and looked towards Jiang Youzhi in the main hall. Ling Jinsui snatched the purse and pushed her, saying, "You go and take a look too. Don't let that man's rough hands and feet hurt the dead girl's face."
After all, the girl's most valuable feature was her pretty face, so the old woman hurried into the house to take a look.
Ling Jinsui knew that she didn't have much time left, so she reacted quickly and went into the kitchen first, pouring the little oil in the oil lamp onto the pile of firewood.
He took out a fire starter from the stove and lit it. In an instant, flames rose and thick smoke billowed. He put the fire starter into his sleeve and rushed out with a kitchen knife in hand.
He quickly said to Jiang Youzhi who was coming towards him, "Hurry, there's a fire, put it out first."
Jiang Youzhi no longer stopped her from asking for money and hurried to the kitchen in panic. She rushed out to the yard and used a kitchen knife to cut the hemp rope on the big blue donkey.
At this moment, the old woman in the house cried out in surprise: "That girl ran away!"
Just as the old woman and the strong man rushed out of the room, Jiang Youzhi ran out of the blazing kitchen covered in dust and dirt.
Ling Jinsui successfully climbed onto the big blue donkey, pocketing fifteen taels of silver. He laughed loudly, patted the donkey's butt, and rushed out of the village.
She was sure that Jiang Youzhi would not dare to call for help in a big way, and the old woman would not dare to report to the police. It would take until tomorrow for them to find the horses and chase her.
By then she had already gone into the sea like a water and flown into the forest like a bird, and could not be caught up at all.
Of course, it was too cheap for them to just poison Zheng and burn Jiang Youzhi's kitchen and take fifteen taels of silver and a big blue donkey from the maid.
The real Ling Jinsui died in that family!
But she doesn't have the ability to retaliate at the moment, but one day, she will definitely avenge the original owner.
Since she had used someone else's body, she would feel guilty if she didn't do something for the girl!
After rushing out of the village, she realized that she didn't know the road, and the original owner didn't remember any road outside the village.
She could hear the screams of an old woman faintly in the wind. She did not dare to delay, so she identified the north direction and rode her donkey towards it.
The green donkey ran quite fast. When the moon rose over the mountain, it had completely left the village behind and could not even see the thick smoke from the Jiang family's kitchen.
The surroundings were vast, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. A feeling of surviving a disaster surged in my heart. As soon as I relaxed, I realized how weak this body was.
There was a burning pain in the chest and lungs, dizziness, and weakness in the limbs.
But now was not the time to rest, so she lay on the big green donkey, and the only sound in the air was the donkey's "ho ho" cry.
The night wind brought frost and attacked her body from all directions.
She tightened the cloth wrapped around her head, feeling that if she continued running like this, she would collapse from exhaustion.
She didn't dare go to the village. Not to mention that Jiang Youzhi and the old woman would look for her, the original owner's identity as the daughter of a criminal official would easily bring her into trouble.
Looking at the mountains with overlapping dark shadows in the distance, she made a decision.
After entering the forest, she couldn't find a cave for a while, so she found a big tree to tie her donkey to, and touched the fire starter in her sleeve. It was a good thing she brought it with her, otherwise she would have frozen to death in the deep mountains.
She found some dead branches and started a fire, which dispelled the coldness on her body. What made her laugh was that the green donkey was not afraid of fire at all and also moved closer to the warm fire.
This donkey didn't sleep standing up like a horse, but actually lay down like a cow. Ling Jinsui didn't care whether it was dirty or had lice, it was just too cold.
Leaning on the donkey's belly warmed her back, and she finally had the energy to think carefully about her current situation.
At this point, she was sure that she was not dreaming, nor was it a medical illusion, she had really traveled through time.
And this start is comparable to hell mode, with Jiang Youzhi and his wife chasing him from behind, government soldiers investigating him from the front, and his relatives exiled to Yan area thousands of miles away.
Not to mention whether her small body could make it to Yan, she was also worried that the original owner's mother or grandfather would find out that she was possessed by a ghost.
She couldn't even call someone else's mother "Niang".
He touched the silver in his arms, looked at the big blue donkey, and decided to find a big city to live alone under an assumed name.
With her medical skills, it is not a problem for her to support herself. After she recovers, she will slowly inquire about the situation of the original owner's relatives and see if there is anything she can do for the original owner.
You can't just occupy someone's body for nothing...
Just thinking about this, Ling Jinsui, who was cold and hungry, gradually fell asleep. It was not easy to sleep well in the mountains.
While half asleep and half awake, I heard the crying of a young woman like a ghost or a fox spirit in the wilderness.
The sound was blown far and near by the wind, sometimes like an echo from the other side of the mountain, and sometimes like it was right next to her ear.
The sobbing sound was intermittent, and she kept calling out: "Grandpa, Grandpa..."
The voices shouted from her ears into her heart, and for a moment, she even felt that it was her soul crying.
One sound after another, like an invisible net enveloping her.
Ling Jinsui was crying and shouting, feeling frightened. His hair stood on end and cold sweat ran down his face. It was like he was having a nightmare. His body seemed to be controlled by something and he couldn't move.
It seemed that if she didn't break free from the web of this voice and obey the obsession of the owner of the voice, she would be entangled forever.
She was originally a staunch materialist, but now that she had even encountered something like time travel, how could she not believe in ghosts and gods?
She concentrated her mind, opened her eyes suddenly, and said to the windy mountain:
"Grandpa, you are the Calabash Brothers!"
"I'm going to find your grandfather, stop crying!"
He was weak and vulnerable during his lifetime, and was bullied to death by Jiang Youzhi and Zheng. After his death, he could only cry.
Ling Jinsui felt sorry for the original owner's misfortune, but was also angry at him for not fighting back.
In an instant, the sound seemed to be blown away by the wind, and even her own feeling of fear that had penetrated deep into her bones disappeared instantly. Her body did not fall into coldness, but instead felt a little warm.
After all, she is a kind-hearted girl who can't even bear to scare people.
Ling Jinsui stroked the big blue donkey, whose eyes were wide open but dared not make a sound, and said with a self-deprecating smile:
"It seems that she can't hide away in the city anymore. She won't rest in peace until she finds her grandfather."
There is no free lunch in the world. She is living a new life in another body, which is much more valuable than lunch, so she naturally has to pay more.
She closed her eyes and tried hard to find the part related to Grandpa Ling from the original owner's memory.
The original owner had been in poor health since childhood. Before her mother gave birth to her younger brother, she accompanied her father to work in another place and left the original owner in her hometown.
From then on, the grandfather and grandson lived together in the town. Grandpa Ling was a naughty elder who was not strict at all and treated the original owner very well.
My memories are full of warm moments spent together as a grandparent and grandchild, eating roasted rice cakes together in the winter and chilling fruits and vegetables in the well in the summer.
When she was little, her grandfather braided her hair into crooked braids, and every time he went to the market, he would bring back small gifts.
A silk flower, a piece of brightly colored cloth, maltose and rice cakes...
Ling Jinsui gradually fell into these warm memories, and at a certain moment, she really felt that Grandpa Ling was her biological grandfather.
Even without the original owner's obsession, she wanted to see the old man again.
In her previous life, she was an orphan and had never experienced family love.
The last time the original owner and Grandpa Ling saw each other was in Jiangjia Village. Grandpa Ling sent her to the door of Jiang Youzhi's house and said with loving eyes: "Wait for Grandpa to pick up your mother and brother, and then take you home.
Just stay at your uncle's house and don't worry. You are not in good health, so don't worry too much and don't catch a cold..."
