Chapter 55 The Eight-Bearer Sedan Chair (1)
Lin Chujiu opened her eyes, not knowing how much time had passed, but felt dizzy and found the moment particularly unbearable.
Unlike the previous two dungeons, which were relatively smooth, the teleportation in this dungeon seemed particularly tricky. It felt like being spun around in space for a long time, until you were completely dizzy before finally getting out.
Lin Chujiu lay curled up, her chin resting on her knees, utterly exhausted.
One by one, the viewers in the live stream entered and were pleasantly surprised to see Lin Chujiu.
Honey, I've missed you so much these past two days!
[Upstairs, that's my wife, Gibber, get him out of here!]
Something's not right. Who is this child?
[What? The kid's actually pretty good-looking, where's Jiu Jiu?]
Holy crap, this kid looks so much like Jiu Jiu!
Lin Chujiu suppressed her dizziness and looked down, realizing that she seemed to be sitting on a stool, and the stool was quite large.
She sat down with her whole bottom, but it didn't even take up half of the space.
Moreover, she seemed to be in an ancient wooden house at the moment, and there was a lot of firewood in the house, which seemed to be a woodshed.
Lin Chujiu subconsciously tried to find the rules.
The door to the house was suddenly pushed open!
Lin Chujiu was startled and quickly remained in the position she had been in when she came in, not daring to move.
Two women dressed in ancient costumes entered; one wore hemp clothing, and the other wore brocade.
The woman in hemp clothing was holding a basin, while another woman was holding some porcelain shards and a white cloth.
Lin Chujiu didn't quite understand what they were trying to do, so she sat there, staring blankly at them.
The woman in brocade spoke, "Let's begin."
Lin Chujiu was completely bewildered. This instance didn't give her time to figure out the rules, so she knew nothing at the moment.
The two women were sitting on two other wooden chairs in the woodshed. Only then did Lin Chujiu realize that they seemed to be much larger than herself.
Lin Chujiu looked at her hands and feet in a daze, only to find that they were incredibly small.
Just like a child!
Lin Chujiu was shocked. Could it be that she had turned into a child in this instance?
The two women, unaware of her panic, continued fiddling with the things in their hands.
The woman in hemp clothing placed the basin at Lin Chujiu's feet, and Lin Chujiu then realized that it seemed to contain herbal soup.
The soup was very hot, and steam was still rising from it.
A strong, unpleasant smell of medicine wafted over.
Before Lin Chujiu could react, the woman suddenly grabbed her feet, took off her shoes, and stuffed them into the basin!
The screen was instantly filled with exclamations of "Holy crap!"
My God, is this crazy woman insane?
Is this boiling water? How painful would it hurt to put your foot in it directly?
I can feel the pain even through the screen.
【Ugh, what are they doing? Are they binding their feet?】
Let go of Jiu Jiu, let go of my daughter!
The stinging pain from being scalded by boiling water struck instantly!
Lin Chujiu instinctively let out an "Ah," but the lady in brocade covered her mouth from behind.
"Keep your voice down, don't disturb your father and brother!"
Lin Chujiu was in so much pain that she wanted to bite her. She tried to break free, but the woman in hemp clothing pressed her foot down firmly!
Lin Chujiu felt like her feet were being scalded.
She trembled in the arms of Lady Brocade, tears silently streaming down her face.
However, something even crueler awaited her.
It's unclear how long her feet were soaked before they were finally taken out.
Just when she thought it was over, Lady Brocade suddenly blindfolded her.
Lin Chujiu was puzzled; the woman in hemp clothing seemed to be fiddling with her feet.
The next instant, a sharp pain shot through my foot!
"Mmm!" Lin Chujiu's mouth was covered, and she bit down hard on Madam Jinduan's hand!
The woman in brocade slapped her and continued to cover her mouth.
That woman in hemp clothing, fold your four toes inward again!
Lin Chujiu suddenly realized that they were binding her feet!
The excruciating pain in her foot did not disappear; on the contrary, it intensified with the movements of the woman in hemp clothing. Lin Chujiu trembled as she summoned the system in her mind to use painkillers.
Because she bought cheap painkillers, the painkillers only relieved 70% of the pain, leaving her to endure the remaining 30%.
After taking the medication, the severe pain in my foot was greatly reduced.
Yet it is still unbearable.
Lin Chujiu slumped on the stool, her body limp and covered in cold sweat.
She felt her feet being pressed, wrapped, and squeezed, and something seemed to be stuck between her feet, causing a stinging sensation.
Lin Chujiu was powerless to struggle and endured the pain.
For the next few days, Lin Chujiu lay in bed, forced to get out of bed and walk during the day, and unable to sleep at night due to excruciating pain.
The two women gradually tightened the lining of her feet, securing it with needle and thread, forcing her feet to arch.
Then, she put her feet into a pair of small, exquisitely crafted embroidered shoes.
The embroidered shoes were exquisite, with a brocade surface, hibiscus pattern, and lotus flowers carved on the soles.
With every step, lotus blossoms bloom.
The woman in hemp clothing laughed as she stuffed the cloth into her feet: "Miss, your feet are bound so well. You'll definitely have plenty of men to marry you in the future."
The woman in brocade chuckled as she twisted the thread, "With feet like these, I was originally planning to marry her off to royalty, but alas—"
The woman in brocade spat out the thread from her mouth.
"Her father betrothed her to the Zhou family at a young age!"
Upon hearing this, the woman in hemp clothing quickly comforted him, "The Zhou family is good too. Can't the Zhou family's young lady marry our young master?"
The woman in brocade looked indignant: "I don't know what he was thinking. With those feet, I wonder how high Chu Jiu can marry?"
"The bride price will be plentiful, then Cheng'er won't have to worry about not finding a wife!"
Lin Chujiu sat in the chair, numb from the pain, and listened quietly to their conversation.
Through the conversations over the past two days, she had a general understanding that she seemed to have arrived in a feudal dynasty.
The dynasty was so feudal that foot binding was widespread, and it was also so feudal that she was already betrothed as a child.
Moreover, she has already been betrothed to someone, specifically the Zhou family.
She also has an older brother; the two families were engaged in an arranged marriage.
Lin Chujiu looked at her deformed feet and felt they were ugly no matter how she looked at them.
I simply can't find a trace of beauty in it.
But the two women said that with those feet, she could marry royalty.
Lin Chujiu sighed helplessly. She had been searching for the rules for the past few days, but she couldn't find them.
The scary parts of the dungeon didn't appear.
I wanted to start a live stream, but the system told me that it was not during the permitted live streaming time.
Lin Chujiu was now completely helpless, and when she received the news, she almost thought she had really time-traveled.
Fortunately, my feet are almost completely bound now, so I won't have to suffer this torture anymore.
Lin Chujiu lay on the chair, looking like she was dead.
They looked like they had no other options.
Just as she was feeling relieved, a white light suddenly flashed.
The system's announcement suddenly rang out—
