Chapter 13: Marching into Dragon Mountain 5
In the morning, Yike's biological clock was off for the first time. When she woke up, she could already see the sun above her head. The sunlight penetrated into the woods through the gaps in the trees. Sometimes it was like a naughty child swinging on the branches; sometimes it was like a nimble loach drilling into the gaps in the thorn bushes; sometimes it was like a kind mother gently stroking the back of her bare hand.
In her previous life, Yi Ke started practicing martial arts at six o'clock every morning. From then on, her biological clock was set to six o'clock on time. She thought that she must have been frightened and tired yesterday, so she was able to sleep until dawn in the forest. Fortunately, there was no danger in the thorn bush, otherwise I wouldn’t have known that I had been taken away by a wolf in the middle of the night.
Yike suddenly thought of the tiger. Where there is a tiger, there must be a wolf. What if he encounters a wolf? Still have such good luck? Besides, wolves are social animals. Not to mention that Yi Ke has small arms and legs now, even when she was at her strongest in her previous life, she did not dare to challenge a pack of wolves. Isn’t there a saying that a hero cannot stand against numbers? She began to regret her decision to go to Longshan to escape from the world! The previous thought of "the feasibility of going to Longshan" really needs to be seriously considered.
However, at the beginning, I did not take into account that this world is different from the previous life. In the previous life, these ferocious beasts were becoming fewer and fewer, so they were protected by the state and were almost invisible in the mountains. But in this world, there are many ferocious beasts.
"What should I do? Should I move forward or retreat? How come this question is even more difficult to answer than the college entrance examination back then?" Yi Ke said to himself.
well! It's really a dilemma. If she doesn't go in, she has to find a suitable place to live. She can't go back to Hanjiagou. She would rather face the danger of animals than face the ugly human nature.
"Forget it, let's go in! Even if I really die, I'll live a few more days." After comforting himself, Yike put on the backpack, put on tree bark on his feet and continued to move forward. The bark is very tough and hard, otherwise it would have broken long ago, and there is no way Yi Ke could walk on the top of the thorn bush like he was on skis.
Moving on the top of a thorn bush is not faster than moving on the ground. When moving, you have to test the bearing capacity of your feet first, and choose a place with branches to climb. In some places, the thorn bushes are not dense enough, and the top cannot bear Yi Ke's heavy pressure. At this time, Yi Ke has to go down to the ground and use a machete to clear a way. So Yi Ke sometimes moves forward on the tree like a swing, and sometimes moves on the ground like a mole, and moves forward step by step like a snail.
Yike walked carefully for a whole day, but the sun seemed to dislike her slow pace and left her without any regrets. The light in the woods was getting darker and darker, and Yi Ke was getting more and more anxious. He had finished drinking the water in several bamboo tubes and had eaten the last two eggs in the morning. He started to eat raw wild vegetables at noon. He couldn't make a fire on the tree, and even if he could, it would be useless without water. If you can't go out at night, you can still bear the hunger. At most, you can eat the unripe banana fruit, but it is unbearable to be without water. When will it end? I’m so anxious!
I was hungry, tired and anxious. I regretted not taking a detour. If I got lost, I could just find a cave and survive. Why did I have to go to Longshan? Why was I so stubborn at that time?
Yike complained as she walked, blaming herself and the time-travel god. Others had all kinds of benefits when they traveled through time. If she wasn't given the space, it would be good to give her a superpower. If she had the water power, she would have water to drink and wouldn't be so thirsty. The wood power would be even better, because she could communicate with these thorns and ask them to make way for her to escape.
If you can't give her superpowers, or a space with spiritual spring water for upgrading, then you can just give her a space to store things. She can put the thorns into the space, and she can also get out quickly, allowing herself to travel through time without being given anything. Is it possible that the time-travel god was jealous of her happiness in that world, so he deliberately brought her here to suffer?
"Master of time travel, listen carefully. I don't want it if you don't give me the golden finger. You are jealous that I was so happy in my previous life, right? I want to be happy in this life as well. I am so jealous of you!" Yike started his daily compulsory course - cursing the Master of time travel.
The God of Time Travel: Who did I offend?
"Ah--" Yi Ke accidentally got his foot stuck in some thorns. The long thorns pierced into his flesh, causing him to scream in pain.
"Oh my God! Please don't leave me a way to live. I just want to live, why is it so difficult?" Yi Ke carefully, slowly, and gritted his teeth as he pulled his foot out of the thorn bush, and inevitably got pricked by a few more shots.
Yike found a tree, sat on the branch, took off his shoes, and saw a few bleeding wounds. He discovered that there were only wounds and no thorns. It seemed that the thorn was really hard!
"I won't negotiate with you. It's impossible for you to stay here." This was what those thorns were thinking, but Yike of course couldn't hear it.
After treating her wound, Yike started her "Long March" again. She wanted to find a big support - a big tree to hug, so that she could at least sleep more comfortably at night.
The sun ruthlessly left without leaving any light, and darkness took advantage of the opportunity to sneak in, running to greet enthusiastically with "Hello!" I was too annoyed to bother to pay attention, and climbed up the thigh I found - a tree that required two people to hug together, to take a rest.
Fortunately, there are many things in this mountain, except for trees. Yike leaned against the tree and rummaged in his backpack. He took out a banana. The fruits, eggs and pancakes had been eaten long ago, but fortunately there was still banana fruit. Yi Ke ate a banana fruit, then took out some wild vegetables, chewed them and swallowed them. The green and astringent taste was too bad. After eating the wild vegetables, quickly take out two pieces of mint to remove the astringency.
The branches of this tree are very large. Yike crossed the ropes between the branches to make a net-like shape, then half of her body lay on the branch with her legs placed on the net. She then took out the sheet and covered herself with it. Yike's eyelids covered her dark eyeballs, and her breath was long and distant, as if it was there and not there. She had no idea that there was someone in this world who was missing her.
In Hanjiagou Village, elder sister Han Guihua has become depressed since her younger sister disappeared. Yang Huaihua, her mother who used to be quite nice to her, seemed like a different person. Not only did she not allow her to go to school, she also required her to do jobs that required higher pay points.
I get up at dawn to cook breakfast, come back from work at noon to cook lunch, and wash clothes for the whole family after dinner in the evening. All the work that her younger sister used to do is now taken over by her. The only difference is that before, her younger sister only had work to do but no food to eat. As for her, she could eat and be full. Even if it was wild vegetables or bran cakes, Yang Huaihua still allowed her to eat her fill.
Han Guihua still remembers that on the tenth day after her sister ran away, Sha Dawang's family from Fengwo Village came to her home. Sha Dawang's mother didn't know her sister had escaped at first, and as soon as she entered the door, she shouted enthusiastically: "My dear relatives, our whole family is here to pick up my wife. Please call the child out so that we can take her back."
Yang Huaihua was shocked to see Sha Dawang's family suddenly coming. She didn't dare to hide in the room and didn't come out. She could only greet them with a wry smile: "Auntie, you are here. You see my house is so narrow. Let's talk outside the yard."
"My dear relatives, our home is far from here. It is better to pick them up early and leave early so that we can get home before dark. There is no need to talk any more."
Yang Huaihua cursed Xiaocao'er to death in her heart, but no matter how much she cursed, it couldn't solve the problem at hand. She could only say in a gentle manner: "Aunt, this is what happened. The money-losing kid in my family was disobedient a few days ago, and sneaked into the mountains alone. He never came out again. He might have been taken away by a wolf." Of course, Yang Huaihua didn't dare to say that she had chased him away.
"What did you say? He was taken away by a wolf? Are you trying to coax a three-year-old child?" As soon as Sha Da Wang's mother heard this, she knew that the plan was doomed.
"It's true, he really didn't come back. He didn't come back because he was eaten by wolves in the mountains. I didn't lie to you." Yang Huaihua looked at Sha Da Wang and his brothers, and then looked at her only son. Her son was hiding in the room timidly and didn't dare to come out. Of course, she didn't think so. Instead, she thought her son was smart. He hid when he knew he couldn't win. She also wanted to hide.
"I don't care. Whether she's dead or alive is your family's business. Since you accepted the betrothal money from my family, you must give me a wife." Before Sha Da Wang's parents came, they had heard that this family had two daughters. If one died, there was still one.
"Auntie, my family really can't give you a wife. How about this, I go out and find a wife for you? They are all women anyway, so they are all my daughters, right?" Yang Huaihua was reluctant to part with her daughter Han Guihua, mainly because she felt that Han Guihua was educated and cultured, and it would be a loss to sell her for five yuan. She thought that there were so many girls in the village, so she could just trick any girl into sending over. Yang Huaihua suddenly felt that she was so smart. Why didn’t she think of this idea some time ago? It was because she was scared by that dead little grass.
Sha Da Wang's parents thought about it and felt that since they were going to get married anyway, it didn't matter where the girl came from, as long as she was a girl. Their silly son would not be picky, so they were about to agree when they were stopped by an angry shout.
"You bastard!" The team leader just happened to be walking over with the members. Hearing what Yang Huaihua said, he shouted angrily, "Yang Huaihua, do you want to be a human trafficker and kidnap girls?"
Yang Huaihua quickly denied it, "Captain, you can't accuse me of anything. When did I ever traffic in people?"
"Didn't you just say that you wanted to kidnap a girl to marry this family? We all heard it, and you still dare not admit it?"
Yang Huaihua: "No, no, Captain, I really didn't. It was them. They wanted to marry Xiaocao as their wife. I told them that Xiaocao was eaten by wolves, but they didn't believe me and kept asking me for a wife. How could I give them a wife when she's dead? Captain, it's just right that you're here. Tell them that Xiaocao is dead, really dead."
The team leader said to Sha Da Wang's parents, "You are from Fengwo Village. Are you here to marry Xiao Cao'er?"
Sha Da Wang's parents nodded and said yes. The team leader said, "Xiao Cao'er is dead. He was beaten by his mother and fled to the mountains and died. You should go back and don't listen to Yang Huaihua's nonsense. How can she find another wife for you?"
Sha Da Wang's father said, "Captain, Yang Huaihua received our betrothal money. She said she would definitely give my family a wife. Since that girl is dead, doesn't she have a daughter? I heard that she is older than the dead one, so she is just the right wife for my child."
"No, mother, please don't marry me! Mother, I beg you!" Han Guihua, who was hiding in the room, heard it and ran out to beg Yang Huaihua, fearing that Yang Huaihua would agree.
"Wife, wife, my wife! Kiss, kiss!" Sha Da Wang, who was standing aside, saw Han Guihua and shouted with a silly grin, and went over to hug Han Guihua.
"Ah! Go away, go away!" Han Guihua was so frightened that her face turned pale. Oh, no, not pale, but her face turned pale and she screamed.
The captain hurried forward to stop Sha Da Wang and told Han Guihua to go back to her room quickly and not come out. Han Guihua hurriedly retreated back to the room and closed the door with a bang.
Han Guihua's heart still pounding when she thinks back on it. She was almost sold to a fool, a fool who had beaten two of her wives to death. Although Yang Huaihua finally returned the betrothal money and paid three yuan in compensation under the mediation of the team leader, the matter was resolved, but she was still frightened. At the same time, she was glad that her sister had escaped. Although she didn't know whether she was alive or dead, it was better than watching her sister marry into such a family. Deep in her heart, she didn't believe that her sister was dead. She believed that her sister was alive and well in some corner she didn't know. She silently wished her sister to live a happy and happy life from now on!
