from widow to dame

Chapter 3

"Then give me a pair of quilts." Lin Yuyan said firmly, "The room is cold and damp, and people live in it. I will get sick soon, mother, you don't want to spend money to get me medicine."

Pi's face froze when he heard the words, and weighed the gains and losses between a pair of quilts and the doctor's prescription, and then he snorted unhappily, turned and went into the room. After a while, the bed was covered with stains and exposed The blackened cotton mattress was thrown out.

"Pa—" Pishi closed the door heavily.

Lin Yuyan didn't say anything, just rolled up the mattress and walked to her "room". Maybe it was because she behaved pretty well this day, or because Pi Shi knew that she had nowhere to go, so she didn't open the door like yesterday. lock it.

When I entered the room, an unpleasant musty smell entered my nose.It was too dark to see things clearly, so Lin Yuyan opened the door halfway, and began to pack it up under the moonlight. After a long time, Wei Wei made a place to lie down.Looking at the bed with two stones built in front of her and only a wooden plank in the middle, Lin Yuyan sighed slightly, and then spread the quilt she got on it.After a busy meal, the sky was already approaching dawn.Lin Yuyan was tired all day, and she was so distracted at this moment that she couldn't care about anything else, so she folded her clothes and lay down, and fell asleep not long after.But when she was deep in sleep, she didn't know that the door of her room was gently pushed open, and a thin and small figure quietly walked up to her, lowered her head, and there was a twinkle in her eyes. A cold and fierce light.

Just like yesterday, before dawn, Lin Yuyan was tossed about by Mrs. Pi, so she only slept for a mere two hours.She raised her eyes and looked around, and it was obvious that apart from herself, the other rooms were still quiet, that's right, even the chickens haven't crowed yet!It seems that Mrs. Pi still loves those quilts!
The first thing she did in the morning was still to light the fire and cook, so she hastily tied an apron on her body, and Lin Yuyan went to her room (her room was actually the original woodshed) to fill up corn stalks and stuff them into the stove pit. I lit it inside, then added four ladles of water to the pot, sat on the curtain and put the leftover corn noodles and pastry on it to distill, then ran to the vegetable garden in the backyard to pick two cucumbers, eighty-nine potatoes.Cucumbers are cut into pieces, sprinkled with salt and vinegar and mixed well. Potatoes are shredded and fried with hot peppers. These things are very simple, even if you have never cooked, you can understand after a little thought.The only difference is whether it is delicious or not.Lin Yuyan was originally a smart person, except that she didn't have a good handle when chopping vegetables, but the things she made were not bad.

After finishing these, Lin Yuyan went to the yard to collect the clothes washed yesterday. It is midsummer and the weather is so hot that the clothes can be dried in a short time. Of course, thanks to this, Lin Yuyan was not in the "firewood room" was frozen to death.

After the food was ready, the Wang family from over there came slowly.Lin Yuyan could tell that no one in this family was diligent except for the silent Wang Dalang.When Lin Yuyan used to eat, she was very particular about how to hold the chopsticks, how to place the bowls and plates, and even how many times she had to chew each bite. In this war, if you are just a little slower, you will definitely be hungry. Lin Yuyan fully learned the lesson from yesterday, and actively joined in, and finally succeeded in adding a big piece of food to her stomach.

After breakfast, Lin Yuyan voluntarily started to feed the pigs, but found that the vines were used up, so she had no choice but to report to Pi.After digging out an egg and giving it to his grandson, Pi Shi said without raising his eyelids: "The ones in Nanshan are used, just cut them back."

Lin Yuyan asked the direction, and then walked towards Nanshan with a bamboo frame on her back.

This is the first time she has left the gate of the Wang family, and she couldn't help but observe carefully along the way. The Wang family should be considered a relatively wealthy family in this village. It can be seen from being able to hire long-term workers.

"Ugly! Ugly! Marrying a dead ugly!..." Several six or seven-year-old boys, clapping their hands with bare buttocks, shouted happily around Lin Yuyan.And some adults standing or seated at the door also looked over one by one.

If an ordinary little girl was called like this in front of everyone, she must be too ashamed at this time, maybe she jumped into a well, but Lin Yuyan was very calm, not only not angry, but turned towards these children They smiled.

I can't post it, who told me that she naturally likes children very much.

Probably because she was too ugly, she looked more like a yaksha when she smiled, the children backed up a few steps in fright, ran away screaming and screaming, Lin Yuyan walked for a long time before arriving at Nanshan, and saw that the mountain was slope The shape of the mountain is not very high, but the two ends of the mountain are far apart, but it looks huge. There are many trees on the mountain. Once one enters, one feels that the sky is covered with sun. Climbing up, it turned out that there were a lot of vines and vines on the mountain as Napi said. Lin Yuyan took out a sickle from the bamboo basket behind her and cut it carefully. It took two hours of busy work. During this time, Lin Yuyan was very lucky to find A wild jujube tree, although most of them are young wild jujubes, but Lin Yuyan happily picked up a lot of them, carefully pressed them to the bottom of the basket and covered them with sweet potato vines, these were her "private possessions".

Sitting on a piece of bluestone, Lin Yuyan raised her arms slightly, looking at those bloody and dirty palms, she sighed softly, not because she couldn't see that the Wang family was not a benevolent family, nor was it I didn't think about it, so I ran away without returning.But without household registration and official referral, where could she go as a woman? If she didn't leave the village for a mile, she would either be caught or starved to death on the way.

Wouldn't her future life be like these hands, always so scarred?Lin Yuyan was thinking gloomily.

"Suspicious?" Suddenly, as if she saw something, her eyes flashed with surprise.I saw that she raised her left hand and put it under her eyelids to look at it vigorously, and then she seemed to remember something, and a look of surprise and joy appeared on her face.She stood up abruptly, thinking about running ahead in a hurry, and soon came to a mountain stream, put her hands into the stream and rubbed vigorously, regardless of whether the scabbed skin was bleeding again Come.It's still the same pair of thick black hands covered with scars, and the only difference is that in the center of the palm of the left hand, there is a plum blossom-like birthmark-like thing clearly printed on it.

A look of joy appeared on Lin Yuyan's face, she forced herself to restrain herself, lowered her head, and licked it gently with the tip of her tongue. In the next second, Lin Yuyan's figure was completely gone by the creek.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw a sea of ​​flowers. They were not ordinary flowers, but exquisite and rare flowers, including peonies such as Weizi, Yaohuang, and Luoyanghong.Begonias of the Chuisi Begonia, Xifu Begonia, and Lige Begonia.The chrysanthemum bead curtain, moon yellow, orchid green cover and clouds are densely planted. If you let a knowledgeable person see it, you will be shocked. So many flowering periods are different, and the growth environment is also different. How do ground flowers survive and bloom at the same time?
Looking at the scene in front of her, Lin Yuyan's eyes were full of confusion. If she is really "returning her soul from a dead body", how can the plum blossom space in her previous life still exist?

Lin Yuyan shook her head, took a deep breath, forget it, this should be considered a good thing!
Looking at the sea of ​​flowers in front of her, Lin Yuyan smiled reminiscently. These flowers were collected in her "last life". In the beginning, she only planted a few flowers, but she didn't know how to make it. The growth rate of plants is extremely fast, the flowers bloom and fall, and reproduce endlessly. After decades, it has become the current sea of ​​flowers.

Lin Yuyan looked around and walked in one direction. Not long after, a pool the size of a hot spring appeared in her eyes. The black part of this pool was shaped like Taiji, and the black part was emitting cold water, while the white part was emitting hot water that smelled of sulfur.Lin Yuyan immediately walked to the side of the white pool, took off her clothes, and slid down slowly. Suddenly, a comfortable feeling that seemed to open countless pores came to her heart, and Lin Yuyan moaned involuntarily. I felt that my heavy girlish body had finally been redeemed.Unknowingly, Lin Yuyan lay down on the edge of the pool and fell asleep. When she woke up again, she didn't know how long it had passed, but she was not very worried. It was all due to the different speed of time in this space. It is only equivalent to a few seconds outside.

The white hot spring water has miraculous effects of coagulating fat, removing scars, and nourishing the body. Lin Yuyan already understood it very well in her previous life. Sure enough, when she looked at her own hands again, she could see all the blood scars, cuts, and so on. Everything disappeared, and even the dark and rough hands became much smoother and brighter.If things go on like this for a long time... Lin Yuyan touched her cheek unconsciously, the red spot of the villain on it should also disappear!

In the final analysis, she still doesn't want to live forever under those disgusting and contemptuous eyes, so it would be best if she could get rid of the incomplete appearance.

The body is clean, but the clothes are dirty, thinking about wearing them again, Lin Yuyan feels shy.

Silver, if only she could have silver!
Lin Yuyan, who has never worried about money since she was born, began to miss those yellow and white things deeply.
