Chapter 2: The Girl Who Didn't Appear 2
Li Laosan has not come to Siru for trouble in the past two days, not because he finally got a father-daughter relationship with his daughter who has been raised for more than ten years and was reluctant before she got married, but because he was afraid that he would accidentally break people, and it would be difficult to explain to the fool's family when the time came, and the loss of the bride price would outweigh the loss.
For the sake of money, no matter how powerful the mountain man is, he has to bend his waist.
Moreover, he also has things to be busy, the eldest son is about to get married, naturally it is not as simple as marrying a daughter, he has to treat guests, go through the motions, talk about pomp, he has to calculate whether the food at home is enough, a few dishes on the table, a few meat dishes, a few vegetarian dishes, a few cold dishes, a few stews.
A son is different from a daughter, a daughter is the water that is spilled, and a son is a treasure in the palm of his hand.
Li's wife went silent for a long time, and Li Laosan realized that something was wrong. Hurriedly stood up and ran outside.
When I ran to Siru's firewood house, I saw that the door was wide open, and the old woman was lying on the ground with an unknown life and death, and the person who was supposed to marry tomorrow was gone.
"Boss, second, come out quickly, the dead girl is gone, go find it."
Li Laosan roared angrily.
While walking over, he dragged his mother-in-law's hair and slapped her in the face a few times, and Li's wife's yellow and thin face suddenly had five blood-red finger prints.
She woke up faintly, her head was still dizzy, and Siru's stick was not light, so she was afraid that she would not faint.
The ears are still whining, and the sky is spinning.
The two sons of the Li family were already lying on the bed, and when they heard Li Laosan's roar, they rushed out without even putting on their shoes.
Especially Li Da, his eyes are red in a hurry, he is about to get married, and he is very satisfied with the girl he said, although she looks average, she has big breasts and big buttocks, and she can give birth to a son at a glance. If Siru escaped, his bride price would be a big difference, and the woman who got it would fly.
But it was clear that there was no more Siru in the house. There are all kinds of signs that she really escaped.
Li Da rushed up to his own mother is fist, "What about the dead girl, what about her, aren't you in the same room with her?" How did she disappear. You waste, you can't even look at it well, what are you doing while you're still alive, why don't you die. ”
Li was panting heavily, with bruised tendons on his forehead, the corners of Li's wife's mouth were beaten and bleeding, her cheeks were swollen, her brain was buzzing, her ears were ringing, and she looked at her husband and son who were red and angry in a daze, and muttered, "She ran away, she shouted at me, my head hurt, and I didn't know." ”
"What else to say, don't hurry up and find someone. That dead girl must have run away, she didn't want to marry a fool, I still thought about marrying her off, and it wouldn't look good if she was injured, I knew she was going to run, Lao Tzu should have broken her legs, see what she ran with. ”
Li Laosan's eyes were red with anger, Li Da Li Er ran to call the people in the village, Li Laosan dragged his mother-in-law to search around the yard, but found nothing.
Turning his head to look at the mountain that was already dark, he said hatefully, "That dead girl must have gone into the mountain, and when Lao Tzu finds her, if she doesn't kill her, Lao Tzu will not be Li Laosan." ”
The men in the mountains are short-tempered, and they love to beat women when they have nothing to do, and women are not human beings in their eyes, just tools for giving birth to children and venting, and many women in the village have slap prints on their faces all year round, which is normal.
If Siru is recovered, the end will be worse than before.
Although she was very tired, her body was still very weak, her chest was almost out of breath, her legs were as heavy as lead, and she didn't know how many wounds were scratched by stones on her feet. If you can't stop or run slowly, you'll be caught.
There was a moon in the sky, the stars were shining, and the Milky Way was like a shining belt, but nothing could be seen in the mountains.
It's pitch black, and you may step on a snake, be bitten by a bug, or fall into a trap, and if you are not careful, you may fall under a cliff, and no one will even know if you are dead.
The people in the village rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, they are not afraid of snakes and insects, they are extremely familiar with the mountains, several times Siru has heard the sound of talking, a few hundred meters away is the shining torch, the heart is panicked, cautiously escaped.
The moonlight is very beautiful, but it can't shine into the mountains shrouded by trees, the mountains are pitch black, Siru can't see a little light, can't see the road under his feet, I don't know how many times he has fallen, but he doesn't dare to make a sound at all.
For fear of being discovered.
The fate of being found out is miserable.
Maybe it's going to die, maybe it's worse than death.
When Siru finally stopped, he didn't know where it was, the mountain was very big, it was the same everywhere, there were trees everywhere, towering trees, and he couldn't see the edge.
After escaping for the whole night, Siru was exhausted and her physical strength reached its limit. The body was already extremely weak, a face was yellow and dull, but the lips were as white as paper, and cold sweat broke out on the body.
She squatted down against the trunk of the tree, took a few breaths, touched the ground, broke a piece of grass and tree rhizome, wiped it directly on her clothes, and put it in her mouth to chew.
Immediately, a sweet breath filled his mouth.
Siru closed her eyes and kept chewing in her mouth.
Of course, she can leave easily, however, Siru can fly, but Ah Shi is just an ordinary person.
Siru feels that she is really a dedicated and conscientious person.
Give yourself a thumbs up.
After resting, Siru continued to walk forward.
She didn't think that the people in the village would just give up, after all, they were all people who were very familiar with the mountains, and arresting Siru and killing the chickens and monkeys was just right to deter those who wanted to escape, and let them see the punishment they would suffer if they dared to escape.
Li Laosan will not give up, Siru represents a large amount of bride price, Siru is gone, the fool's family can't marry a daughter-in-law, so naturally he won't give money, if he doesn't give money, Li Da's bride price will be poor, and the daughter-in-law will fly away.
If you don't have a daughter-in-law, you can't have a son, you can't pass on the lineage, and you have to cut off the incense.
However, it is not realistic to go into the mountains every day without stopping to find people.
If you want to grow food, you have to work, you have to run around for a living, who has so much leisure and time.
It's good to be able to see people, and the whole village can't catch a thin girl together, but in this big mountain, the mountain is so big, their ancestors haven't finished exploring it for generations, who knows where Ah Shi fled to, maybe he is dead.
There are so many poisonous snakes in the mountains, and some of them will die if they bite it.
Time passed, and Ah Shi was still not found, and the people in the village shook their heads when they saw Li Laosan's family, all sympathetic and compassionate.
“…… You should have been kind to Ah Shi at the beginning, Ah Shi is diligent and capable, eats less, and is obedient, what is that fool, you are looking for a family that can be seen by her, she will not think about running, now it's okay, people have run away, and the money has not been fished. People and money are empty. ”
Not only that, because the bride price of Li Da's daughter-in-law was not enough, the girl had already made another promise.
The daughter-in-law flew.
Li Laosan looked angry, squatting at the door and smoking a cigarette made by the mountain people.
I thought that when I found the dead girl, I would tie her up to the fool's bed.
He was still thinking about the fool's family's lot of bride price.
Some people are just stubborn, and the more they don't get it, the more they want to get it. If you can't get it, you will be unwilling, and your heart will be on fire, once you get it, you will think about how to kill it, the more miserable the better, in order to calm the anger in your heart.
Siru hid in the mountains for more than two months.
Hide from spring to summer.
The life in the mountains is really not a human life, when you are hungry, you can only eat some wild fruits, and when you are thirsty, you can drink mountain spring water.
It's still good. If you can't find wild fruit, you can only eat tubers, tree roots, and thatch roots. Without fire, even if you can catch rabbits and pheasants or something, you can't eat them. You can't eat raw fruits like wild fruits.
And a little fire will definitely have smoke, and if someone finds out, it will be miserable.
Siru is very cautious, she is on the road every day. There are many insects and ants in the mountains, the air is humid and hot in summer, and there are more mosquitoes in the mountains and forests.
Siru felt that her body was much better and more flexible, and the clothes on her body could not be seen at all, and she was a wild man.
She became more and more like a fish in water in the mountains and forests, and when it got dark, she would find a cave to rest and absorb the pitiful aura between heaven and earth, and that little aura was not enough for her to repair the wounds in her body, but it was better than nothing.
As the saying goes, relying on the mountain eats the mountain, there are many treasures in the mountain, and Siru, as a wood spirit, is born to know many plants and their efficacy.
She made a small basket out of vines and packed all the medicinal herbs she had collected along the way.
She has no money, and if she wants to find the biological parents of the original owner, she has to go to a bigger city first, and these medicinal materials are capital.
After climbing to the top of a mountain, Siru finally saw a city.
The city looked not far away, but Siru walked for more than ten days.
I didn't know where it was, so I had to hide and hide.
I used the money from selling medicinal herbs to buy a bus ticket and two steamed buns, and when I ate something hot for the first time in such a long time, Siru was so moved that she was about to cry.
But I don't have much money in my pocket.
It's nothing, and getting out of the city as soon as possible is the most important thing.
Siru saw several people suddenly rushing out of the crowd and grabbing a young woman, the young woman panicked, and a thin old woman next to her pointed at the young woman and said that she was her daughter-in-law, and hooked up with the wild man outside to escape. One of the middle-aged men raised his slap and slapped a few times in the face of the young woman, who was beaten so that the corners of her mouth were bleeding, her whole face was swollen, and she cried out that she was not their daughter-in-law, she was abducted.
But no one saved her, they all watched from the sidelines.
In the end, the woman was dragged away.
She had a ticket in her hand and was ready to get on the bus.
Siru broke out in a cold sweat.
Quickly sat down in her seat, and someone came to talk to Siru and asked her if she was alone.
Siru ignored him, but stuck out her head and shouted goodbye to a woman who was looking outside.
Very authentic country sound.
The original owner's long-term malnutrition looks like a little girl, and if such a young girl can speak an authentic vernacular, it must be a local.
No one here abducts locals, and locals know where to buy abducted girls.
The young woman just now spoke authentic Mandarin, which was out of place here.
The man laughed and walked away.
Siru breathed a sigh of relief.
It was only when the car started slowly that I finally put my mind at ease.
