Untouchable Cute Baby

"Could you please help me get rid of these things?" Zuo Xiran sincerely said that only by ensuring that there is no poison in her meal, can she look for opportunities in the dark and take the opportunity to escape.

Linfeng looked very embarrassed when she heard that. But seeing Zuo Xiran's pleading eyes, she softened her heart and said, "OK, I can help you, but you must not let the village head find that you have recovered your strength. You must be weak."

Zuo Xiran nods abruptly. She and Linfeng look at each other and smile. Zuo Xiran can't help but think that meeting such an angel in this place is really a dead end. Otherwise, he will probably die in this place.

Zuo Xiran tells Linfeng that she didn't use Nangong Feng's name, which is really eye-catching. After that, Linfeng left with the food. She said that her room was next door to her. If you need anything, you can tell her.

Late at night, Zuo Xiran was lying in bed alone, and she couldn't sleep. Chi Xi was too quiet at night, and there was no TV or computer. She was very upset.

There are two urgent tasks at present. One is to find out what ghost exists in this village. The other is to find a chance to send letters to Yuanlai and let them know their situation. However, the possibility of success is too low. Zuo Xiran made a face in the dark.

In the next few days, Zuo Xiran really realized what it means - uncivilized mountains, what it means to stay away from the hustle and bustle, what it means to live a primitive life, no electricity, no network, which can kill any modern people.

This place is a living prison. Sometimes the prison can watch TV dramas or something. But in this mountain, light is a candle, and there is no electric light. Linfeng said that this place used to be electrified, but the village head thinks that this place is a bamboo house, and there is a safety hazard in using electricity, so he still uses candles. Moreover, people in Chixi go to bed early at night, so they have to go to bed early So I'm not hungry for electricity.

No electricity, no network! Are these people not curious about the outside world? Zuo Xiran couldn't understand it. Linfeng explained that many people here had never read a book, and their understanding of the world only existed in Chixi and Xiangxi, because sometimes they would go shopping, and they didn't care or curious about other places.

"There are still a few people like me who read books. Most of them are more concerned about their own family affairs."

Linfeng explained helplessly.

There are not many people in Chixi. According to the family, there are more than ten families. The men are all outside. There are only women in this place. It is strange that Chixi has no women. The children born are boys, most of them are girls. These men are not from Chixi village, they are from Xiangxi. When a woman reaches the age of marriage, she will go to Xiangxi to "look for her head" -- also known as blind date. After finding a spouse, she will live in Xiangxi for a period of time. When she is pregnant, she will return to Chixi to have a baby. When a man works outside, he will send money regularly, come back to see her once a few years, or never come back.

"God, this is..." Zuo Xiran thought to himself that Chixi village as a whole is full of women. In other words, it aims to reproduce under the guise of men. This place is so terrible that Zuo Xiran would like to leave immediately.

When Zuo Xiran asked why all the people here didn't resist, Linfeng asked strangely, "what is resistance? We listen to the village head's arrangement and eat well in this place. Our whole life has passed like this."

Linfeng said vaguely. It seems that she doesn't quite agree with her own view. Zuo Xiran patiently said, "there are many other wonderful things in life. We can't just look at our eyes, not to mention your eyes remain unchanged."

However, no matter what Zuo Xiran said, Linfeng deeply believes in her village head. When she says that she wants to go out, it's just a flash of thought. When she calms down, she still has a distrust of the outside world.

"You've been brainwashed by success!" Zuo Xiran said helplessly, turning to Linfeng, she was still puzzled. Her Putonghua level was not very high, so when Zuo Xiran said many words, she couldn't understand them. Zuo Xiran didn't bother to explain. She just felt more sympathy for this place. She came from the outside world and naturally knew that the outside world was wonderful and dangerous.

But even so, she wanted to go back. It's not a place where you can see your future at a glance.

However, according to Linfeng, people here usually die when they are 40 years old. Apart from the village head, it is because of this that people think that the village head is capable. For example, Linfeng's mother just died a month ago and was only 42 years old.

"What?"

It's too strange, Zuo Xiran thought. There's no haze and pollution in this place. The food we eat is original without pesticides. According to the truth, we should live a long life. How can we live a short life.

"I don't know. It's always been like this." Linfeng said helplessly, "so, I don't want to go out. Now I'm 22 years old, and I'm about to get married. After that, I became a mother and brought up my child. My life has come to an end."

Zuo Xiran frowned and looked at her. She was a girl as old as herself. Now she looked like a wise man who had experienced many vicissitudes and had seen through the world. Once again, Zuo Xiran felt that this place was poisonous and very poisonous. The village head was not a good man. If he could brainwash so many people, there must be some secret in this place.But she has been here for five or six days, and has not seen the village head. But Linfeng said that all the blood she sent will be sent away, and she doesn't know where to send it.

However, the people here are still very hospitable. They know that Chi Xi came to an outsider. The next day, they all curiously came to Zuo Xiran's room to see her. They also brought many local products of their own home to Zuo Xiran. Because only Linfeng in this village can speak Mandarin, she became Zuo Xiran's interpreter.

"Thank them for me."

Zuo Xiran gratefully said that although the life here is really painful, this kind of warm atmosphere is very easy to infect people. Next, many people bring food to Zuo Xiran, and every time they do it, they will think about bringing her one. Over time, even Linfeng says: "you are so popular. Every time I eat the food they send you, I am full. ”

Zuo Xiran patiently explained, "this is not popular. Although it means that, we usually don't use it to describe people. I'll teach you a word, fire, which also means very popular! "

Although Linfeng is the only person who can speak Chinese in this village, her Chinese is also very bad. When she is worried, she has a Chi Xi flavor. When she is free, Zuo Xiran will become her Chinese teacher and ask her to speak Chinese.

Life is really boring, but after a period of time, she is also used to it. Maybe it's really like what Linfeng said. When she is bored, she chats with her neighbors and amuses her children. She eats three meals a day according to the order. When it comes to the evening, she will naturally be sleepy. The day is so simple that it is full.

However, Zuo Xiran would read the books in Linfeng's room when she was bored. She likes reading books, so she has a lot of books, which are not available outside. It's interesting to see these things occasionally.

Linfeng said that she liked to read books with her mother. She was the most knowledgeable person in the village before. She once wanted to go to the outside world to have a look. When she was a child, she would tell Linfeng about the tall buildings and neon lights she knew. But her mother died so early. Linfeng was very sad, but there was life and death, and no one could decide.

Zuo Xiran still thinks it's very strange. She thinks that people can't die for no reason. There must be some reason. But Zuo Xiran and they ate and lived together for more than a week without any discomfort. And the village head's life expectancy is normal, so the disease obviously doesn't make sense.

She guessed that there were huge problems in this village, and there were many secrets about the village head. Zuo Xiran was not willing to meddle in her own business, but she felt that if she knew that there were many situations in this village, she might have a chance to escape.

According to Lin Feng, no one has come back to see these "left behind" children and women for nearly a year, so it is estimated that no one will come outside in the short term, and her hope of escaping is too slim.

"When it's dark, no one can see outside at all. Can I slip out and be found?"

Zuo Xiran asked tentatively. Linfeng said she couldn't, but then she added, "although you can't, you can't see the exit yourself. With your own strength, you can't climb out of the exit. You will starve to death on the cliff."

Seeing her serious expression, Zuo Xiran decided to believe it. It would be a shame if she really ended up starving to death. Then he gave up.

Sometimes, she would think of Yuanlai and Tiki. I don't know what they are doing, are they still looking for themselves, or have they given up? However, to her surprise, she occasionally thought of song Chenyi. There was no reason. Zuo Xiran and song Chenyi were just nodding friends. Why did she Miss Song Chenyi in this deep forest?

The blank in the heart is still raging in Zuo Xiran's heart. She still can't find what her missing memory is, but as time goes by, she doesn't care.

When she woke up on the eleventh day, Zuo Xiran saw that there were many people gathered outside. She just wanted to go out to have a look. She saw Linfeng come in flurried and said to her anxiously, "Xiran, village head, village head is back!"
