Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

"Girl, wake up, girl, wake up, drink some water before going back to sleep."

Hearing someone calling her, and feeling someone gently pushing her shoulder, Qingyan opened her eyes in a daze, and saw a big wrinkled face hanging in front of her eyes, she was so scared that she suddenly woke up , and instantly stared at each other with wide eyes.

"You, who are you!? Why are you in my room?"

The wrinkled old face stepped back a little, and Qingyan saw clearly that the other party was an old lady, with thin gray hair combed in a small bun, the grooves on her face were deep enough to trap mosquitoes, and her face was full of complexion. Some of them are sallow, and they are malnourished at first glance. They should be from poor families who are not living well.

There was no malice in the other party's eyes, and the smile on his face was kind.

But the other party was a stranger after all, Qingyan didn't dare to relax her vigilance, sat up with her arms on her back, stepped back, and quickly scanned the surrounding environment from the corner of her eye, it turned out to be a stone house!
what happened?Shouldn't she be resting in the inn?

Subconsciously touched the inside of the quilt, but did not touch the little leopard and Chou Chou. She quickly called it through sound transmission with her mind, but there was no answer after calling it several times.

Qingyan panicked, this was the first time she couldn't contact Chouchou, what was going on?Are you in a dream?As for why she didn't guess that she was kidnapped, of course it was because Chou Chou could follow her by space, so it was impossible not to be in touch.

But pinching the rough quilt in his hands, if it was a dream, it would be too real, right?
Although the quilts in the inn are also made of coarse cloth, they are filled with wool. Wool is produced here, so it is relatively cheap.

And this one is made of wool mixed with some hemp silk, which is much harder and not so comfortable.

In addition, the coarse cloth is also divided into thickness and thickness. The coarse cloth used in the inn is relatively flat, but this one is very rough and has some bumps.

Seeing Qingyan sitting up, the old lady put the pottery bowl in her hand on the small table beside her and said, "Don't be afraid, girl, this is my home. You fainted on the road outside our village. My son saw you when he came back." , I carried you back.

I don't know where the girl is from, how could she faint by the roadside? "

Qingyan couldn't answer, she didn't know how she fainted on the side of the road, she didn't even know how she got here.

Although she guessed that she was in a dream, the real scene made her a little uncertain, so she could only look at the other party in silence.

Seeing that she didn't answer, the old lady thought that she had some difficulties that she couldn't talk about, so she didn't continue to ask, but picked up the bowl on the table again, handed it to Qingyan and said: "Then girl, drink some hot water, this night Some fainted on the side of the mountain, it is easy for the cold to enter the body, we don't have a doctor here, if you get a cold, you have to go to the medical center in the town."

Qingyan took the pottery bowl and said thank you. She lowered her eyes and looked into the bowl in the dim light of the oil lamp in the room. She couldn't see if there were any impurities in it, so she could only smell it calmly to make sure there was nothing in it. It tasted strange, I took a sip first to make sure it was clear water, and then took a big sip.

After drinking the water, he returned the bowl to the other party, and asked cautiously, "Ma'am, where is this place? Is it far from Yunling County? My family is waiting for me in Yunling County."

The old lady smiled and said: "Not far, not far, our place is Qi Nian Village in Qingfeng Town, only twenty or thirty miles away from the county seat, and it takes half a day to get there.

It turns out that the girl is going to the county seat, and the girl's accent doesn't look like ours. Is she here to visit relatives and friends? "

When Qingyan heard the word "Qinian Village", her heart was shocked. This place turned out to be "Qinian Village". Could it be that she was thinking about it every day and dreaming at night?Just heard the legend here during the day, and immediately dreamed about it?

But it's not right, if you are dreaming, how can there be such a vivid character?She has never seen or heard of it, so she can't imagine it out of thin air, right?

Qingyan continued the routine without compromising: "It's not about visiting relatives, it's about settling down. My family just moved here from another place. I was in Youzhou before, and I couldn't live there anymore, so I moved here. It can be regarded as taking refuge in my family. relative."

The old lady nodded, "So that's how it is. Youzhou is really chaotic. I heard that there are frequent wars. It's not a good place. Although our side is close to the border, the enemy has been stopped by General Yang. It is still very safe without entering the pass to harass the people.

I think the girl's complexion is a little pale, it should be because of the wind and cold entering her body, you just have a good rest here for a night, and then go back to the county tomorrow. "

Qingyan nodded following her words, and the old lady said again: "I'll go to the village tomorrow to ask if there is any shopping in the town, and take the girl there by the way, and then the girl can make a bullock cart in the town and go to the county seat. There are often oxcarts going to the county to do business, you can take people, just pay a few pennies for the fare."

"Then thank you, aunt. When I return to the county, I will definitely bring my family to thank aunt's family for their kindness."

Qingyan thanked the other party again, no matter what, I still have to say good things.

"Girl, you don't need to be so polite. It's inevitable that you will have difficulties when you go out. If you can help, please help. You have a good rest. I'll go out first."

After the old lady finished speaking, she took the bowl and left the room. There was no door in this room, and there was only a cloth curtain hanging on the door. After the old lady went out, there was a sound of opening and closing the door outside. There should be a door outside.

Qingyan tried to call Chouchou a few more times, but she still didn't get any reply, so she had to give up.

Frowning, he observed this house again. The walls of the house are all made of stones, and the roof is a mixture of wood and grass mud. It seems that it must be quite old.

In addition to the bed, there is a long wooden table against the wall, and an oil lamp is placed on the table, and there are no other furniture decorations.

There is a window on the opposite side of the bed, which is not very big, only about two feet square.

Qingyan threw off the quilt and got out of bed, looked at the pair of embroidered shoes under the bed, and frowned again.

She was sure that after taking a shower in the inn yesterday, the embroidered shoes had already been put into the space by Chouchou, and what she took out was a pair of black clip-on shoes.

Looking at the clothes on his body now, it turned out to be the same three-layer singlet he wore before taking a shower yesterday.

She couldn't help pinching herself, and the sharp pain came, which meant that she was not dreaming, which made her feel a little dazed for a while, could it be that the scene in the inn was a dream?
wrong!There are ugly and little leopards in the inn, but there are none here, which only shows that this place is abnormal!

She walked slowly to the window with her embroidered shoes, and gently opened a gap. It was pitch black outside, only a gust of wind came in.

She closed the window, turned around and walked back to the bed, and sat down on the bed again.

It would be great if I also have spiritual consciousness, even if it is dark, I can detect the surrounding situation.

Chou Chou and Little Leopard were not around, leaving her alone, she was still a little timid.

The man heard a sound from the room next door, no, it should be said that it was the next door, there should be a room in between, the sound was a little far away and not very clear.

This is also due to her superhuman hearing ability, otherwise ordinary people would definitely not be able to hear it.

"Mother, is the little girl awake?" A voice deliberately lowered her voice.

This is a man's voice, the voice is very clear, it should be very young, without the sense of vicissitudes of the middle-aged and old people.

Then I heard the voice of the old lady just now, "Wake up, take a sip of hot water, and I let her rest. She said she moved from Youzhou and settled in the county. I said I will ask tomorrow. When someone comes to town, take her there."

"It turns out that they are from Youzhou, so I said that they don't look like people from our side. I think my family should be quite rich, otherwise I wouldn't be able to raise such a delicate-skinned and tender-skinned person.

But, can he really send her away tomorrow?Tomorrow will be the day, this little girl looks juicy, and her age is just right, the ancestors must like it, and I am afraid she will be kept. " said the man.

"Hush~ Keep your voice down, be careful not to be heard by your ancestors, we can't make up our minds about this, if the ancestors don't let her go, we have nothing to do, it can only depend on her own luck.

Hey... why did she faint at the entrance of the village? I don't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing you did to save her. "

The old lady's voice was lowered, and there was a hint of regret in her tone.

"Mother, don't think so much. We have nothing to do about it. We can only resign ourselves to fate. It's already very late, so you should take a rest too. Let's talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow."

Hearing this, Qingyan's brows were already furrowed into knots, old ancestor, who is the old ancestor?It can't be an old whore, can it?

Then he looked at his hands, what about the camouflage on his body?She painted her face and hands black before taking a bath yesterday. If it was a dream in the inn yesterday, then she should still be black, but this is obviously the situation after washing.

Qingyan's heart was in a mess, and she felt a little uneasy. She pinched herself hard, trying to wake herself up quickly, always feeling that something would happen if she stayed here.

But apart from the pain from being pinched, the scene didn't change in any way.

If it wasn't in the dream, it would be dangerous to run outside in the dark, but if it was in the dream, it probably wouldn't be possible to get out of the village.

Preoccupied, he took off his shoes and returned to the bed. The wind outside gradually became louder, and the howling wind seemed to permeate people like howling wolves.

But the strange thing was that there was obviously only a thin layer of window paper on the window, and the wind outside was so strong that the window paper didn't even move.

You must know that when we were in the inn, the window paper was much finer and thicker than this, and it was rattled by the wind, but here we only heard the sound of the wind outside, as if the inside of the house was cut off from the outside.

It might be a psychological effect, Qingyan felt that the room was gloomy, and she had goosebumps, she couldn't help shivering.

He lifted the quilt and got in, covering himself under the quilt, only then did he feel a little bit safe.

She didn't dare to sleep at all, her eyes were wide open, staring at the direction of the curtain, there wasn't even a door, and she felt that someone might come in at any time, so she didn't dare to relax a bit.

Moreover, there was nothing in the house that could be used as a weapon. She didn't even find the window stick in the house. It felt like it was guarding against her.

Just keeping her eyes open like this, the soreness would go away after a while, she blinked vigorously, rubbed her eyes, and continued to stare there.

I don't know how long it has passed, but I fell asleep unconsciously.

When I woke up again, there was already light outside the window, but I didn't hear any dogs barking and chickens barking, which was even more unreasonable.

Even if there are no dogs in the village, they should also raise chickens. Whether they lay eggs or eat meat, these are the standard equipment of farmers.

Eggs can be exchanged for money, and can also supplement the nutrition of the family members, so it is unreasonable not to have chickens.

There was movement slowly outside, the sound of people greeting each other, and the creaking sound of buckets being carried by poles, which should be carrying water.

This family should be relatively close to the well, and many people passed by here, and the words of greeting were, "Are you up? Are you going to dive?"

Basically these two sentences, but the voices are different.

The two people in this family also got up. She heard the sound of walking in the house and opening the door, but they didn't bother her or speak.

The voice of the old lady's walking was a little dragged, with the sense of powerlessness of the elderly, while the young man's walking was very powerful.

After a while, I heard the man's footsteps getting farther and farther away. He should have left the yard, and he came back after a while. To come is also to carry water.

Then the old lady said: "Pour another bucket into the pot, I want to boil water for cooking."

"Hey, good." The man agreed, and then there was another sound of pouring water.

If it is not known that there are some problems, this is a very normal life scene of rural people getting up early. It is very common and there is nothing strange about it.

Qingyan didn't hide in the house anymore, she could see through the window that the sky was already bright outside, she first tidied up her clothes, spread her hair out, combed it with her hands, and then braided it into a braid. The head rope is tied.

She doesn't know how to do any complicated hairstyles, anyway, braids are definitely fine, it won't be too garish or ugly.

Put on the embroidered shoes, fold the quilt on the bed, and then opened the curtain and walked out.

After leaving the bedroom, there was indeed a main room outside. There was only an Eight Immortals table, two benches, and a dusty cabinet with an earthen pot and shallow earthenware bowls on it, and nothing else.

There is a door in the main room, but the wooden door looks like it is old, the lines on it are very deep, and there are no edges and corners on the four sides, and they are all smooth.

Qingyan looked at the closed door a little strangely, it seemed that she only heard the sound of opening the door just now, but not the sound of closing the door, so how did the door close properly?

I looked to the side, but I didn't see another door. This one bedroom in the main room turned out to be separate!
She opened the door, stepped over the threshold to the outside, looked to the side, and sure enough, there were two rooms next to the main room, and the next room also had a door.

There are a total of four rooms in this main house. This layout is very similar to that of a family where two brothers live in separate houses, or the old couple live in two rooms, and the young couple live in two rooms. Together, without disturbing each other.
