Struggle small peasant girl happy in the mountains and forests

Chapter 115 The past is like smoke, shocking (2)
"What are you looking at, go to work quickly, mother-in-law, I see that you are here for the first time today, so I won't teach you, hurry up and start working on machine No. When the piece of cloth is finished, give it to me tomorrow morning, or you won't be allowed to sleep." The woman pushed Pei Wushuang, and pushed her to the loom marked with number ten.

The No. [-] loom was leaning against the wall, and Pei Wushuang was forced to sit on the stool in front of the loom. His body was cold, and Pei Wushuang shivered uncontrollably.

Seeing Pei Wushuang sitting in front of the loom, the mother-in-law turned around and left the house. Pei Wushuang didn't hear the sound of the door being opened, but only heard the sound of a big stone falling.

Pei Wushuang sat blankly in front of the loom, not knowing what to do. After looking at the girl next to him for a while, Pei Wushuang began to study, because he knew nothing about this place, so he could only wait for the opportunity, and he could not act arbitrarily, lest he suffer.

Pei Wushuang looked at his hands. In the boudoir, he could only hold a pen and a needle. The big loom seemed to be a bit awkward.

"Hey, new here, how did you get in?" The girl sitting behind Pei Wushuang began to gossip.

Pei Wushuang turned his head and glanced at the girl behind him. She was pretty and she looked like a lady of every family, but she was a little thin and her complexion was not very good.

"I don't know, what about you?" Pei Wushuang didn't want to say, but when he thought about it, he felt a dull pain in his heart. He didn't know if it was day or night, and he didn't know how long it had been. The family members must be going crazy with anxiety. , Mother must be running around in the palace, looking for herself.

The cousin is a queen, plus she is pregnant, and she is the second heir of the royal family. She has a prominent status and a high status. Who would dare not believe what she said? She is so good at acting. In this deep palace, Pei Wushuang For the first time, I know what conspiracy is, what is power, what is benefit, what is fighting, and even my own brothers and sisters are not spared.

"I was drugged and sent here by my stepmother. Most of the girls here are rich and powerful families from all over the Tianyang Kingdom. They were either hated by their aunts, beaten and killed by their stepmothers, or because of rivalry between lovers, or competition for fame and fortune. ...In short, they are all miserable people."

"I heard that the girl on the No. [-] plane was imprisoned for four years. She couldn't say anything about being tortured. She only knew how to weave, eat, and sleep every day."

The girl behind whispered and looked at the people around, but none of them turned their heads to look at the two of them, as if they were all stupid and deaf.

Pei Wushuang was very scared. The most important thing was that he didn't know anything, and he didn't know where to start.

"Girl, how long have you been here? And how do you use this loom?" Pei Wushuang asked in a low voice, with a sad tone.

"Uh, you must be the daughter of a rich family, right?! I've been here for about half a month, but I don't know, because the rooms here are all the same, you can't see the sun and the moon, and the meals are next door , sleeping next door, one left and one right, it feels like being in a big mountain!"

"This loom is very simple. Just look at other people, and it will be done in a while. It's the same when I first came here, but you have to learn it quickly, otherwise when you check every day in the future, there will not be enough. Not only will you be beaten, but you will also have no food. , I have been beaten many times..." The girl at the back also became silent after saying this, bowing her head and earnestly weaving.

Pei Wushuang looked at the people next to him, and began to imitate their appearance, stepping on the board under the loom, moving up and down for a while, and pressing the thread with the shuttle in his hand... Slowly, he began to feel comfortable.

But after several hours of doing it, Pei Wushuang felt his whole body ached. Looking up at everyone, he was still moving, as if he was tireless and tired.

"Hey, hurry up and weave. You can't rest, otherwise you won't be able to finish weaving. They weave desperately every day, five horses a day. If they can finish weaving one day earlier, the mother-in-law is in a good mood and will let you You rest for a day, or you will be beaten." The girl behind reminded Pei Wushuang.

Pei Wushuang looked at his hands, and then looked down at his feet. He felt that his hands were worn down, the soles of his feet hurt, and his neck was stiff. But when he saw his loom, it was less than three years old. Pei Wushuang felt extremely sad and didn't know what to do. He hoped that his brother and father would find him soon.

"How many feet is this piece of cloth?" Pei Wushuang only knew that there were five pieces of cloth, but he didn't know exactly how many feet each piece was.

"One piece is ten feet. Some of them can weave six or seven pieces a day for two or three years, and the fastest can weave nine pieces, so they can rest every month."

"Ten feet?!" Pei Wushuang was frightened. Looking at the result of his at least two or three hours, it was only less than three feet. Even if he stayed up all night, he might not be able to finish five knitting, at most two would be thankful. .

"Well, hurry up..."

"Crack!" Before the girl behind could say anything, she heard a strange noise, and the girls in the room stopped their hands instantly and began to arrange the cloth.

"It's time to finish eating. Everyone tidy up the cloth, take the cloth to the next door, and eat." It was that vicious woman again.

Everyone hugged their cloths and started to walk to the next door. They all walked in a hurry, did not speak to each other, and went their own way. Pei Wushuang didn't know whether to go or not, but seeing that everyone in the room had left, Pei Wushuang still walked slowly. He stood up vigorously.

The mother-in-law glanced at Pei Wushuang, but didn't speak or stop her.

When they got to the next door, everyone started handing in cloths and logarithms. A woman took a notebook and memorized them. When she arrived at Pei Wushuang, the woman just looked up at her, then turned her head, and ordered a few big men with the woman who told the meal, He carried the cloth and left.

After dinner, everyone went to sleep in the room. Pei Wushuang was afraid, so he had to go back to the weaving room alone to weave. The unique sound of the loom echoed in the empty weaving room. Gradually it overflowed and dripped continuously on the loom.

Pei Wushuang was both cold and fearful, the heart of missing his family and the pain of being framed and imprisoned by his relatives came to his heart at the same time.

The night passed quietly, and Pei Wushuang finally couldn't hold on anymore, and fell asleep on the loom. When the mother-in-law brought everyone to the weaving room, Pei Wushuang was awakened. Horse, panicked.

The mother-in-law came over, not surprised at all, and didn't say much. She walked directly to the wall, took off the whip, dipped the bucket in salt water, and walked back to Pei Wushuang.

"I know that the girl is a lady of every family, Miss Qianjin, who has never weaved. I thought you would take the old woman's words to heart, but unexpectedly you fell asleep. Today I will reward you with ten whips and teach you a long lesson. Remember, If you can’t weave five bolts of cloth today, you don’t have dinner, and you skip breakfast and lunch.”
