It's so old-fashioned!
This is still my first impression.
Not only the furnishings and furniture in the house are full of old-fashioned, but even the woman standing in front of me is very old-fashioned!
This is a woman who looks about 18 or 19 years old. She wears black cotton shoes, blue-gray cotton pants, and a cotton jacket with oblique buttons on her upper body. She has no makeup on and her black hair is tied into a braid. She has no makeup on and an oval face. She looks pretty. She is not stunning, but she is very attractive. She is not wearing any makeup. Her eyes are clear and pure. Even if her clothes look quite poor, she at least gives people a very clean feeling.
Yes, it's clean! !
The kind of cleanliness that only women in old black and white photos of the last century can have! !
Perhaps she was embarrassed by my gaze. The woman in front of me blushed, lowered her head and laughed, saying, "Why are you yelling so loudly? Most of the village can hear your voice. You are quite interesting. Who among ordinary people is not struggling to survive? Who is like you, looking forward to death? If I had known this, I would not have saved you."
To be honest, I was not staring at her because she looked pretty.
She really looked too old and didn't look like a modern person, which made me think of other things involuntarily.
After hesitating for a moment, I asked, "You saved me?"
"Yes..."
The woman came over without thinking: "When I went to the mountains to pick pine nuts, I heard you yelling, so I just picked you up."
Then she walked in front of me and pressed me down on the kang, saying that I was not flexible and needed to rest.
Her fingertips were cold and her breath was as fragrant as orchid.
At least, the exhaled breath is hot.
In other words, this is a living person?!
The woman held a plate in her arms, with a bowl of corn paste and some pickles in the plate. She put a pillow behind me and helped me sit up. She was going to pick up the bowl to feed me, but I immediately refused. It's not like I can't move now, and it's weird to let a strange girl feed me...
I was really hungry, so while I was slurping the corn paste in the bowl, I took the opportunity to ask about the situation here.
The woman said her name was Anru, and this small village was called Heixiazigou.
However, this village is too poor. There are only two families left now, and they all rely on a few acres of thin fields on the hillside to make a living.
I roughly understand that it is called a village, but it is probably not included in the public system, and it cannot be found on the map. It has been isolated from the world for many years.
A very strange village!
Humans are social animals. How could there be such an isolated and desolate place in today's society?
If I hadn't been sure that An Ru was a living person, I would have suspected that this was a ghost village.
I said, it's so lively outside now. If you go out, you can always find a way to make a living. Why do you have to stay here?
An Ru smiled and said that everyone has left, so there is no one to look after the house. She grew up here and never went out. Her parents are now dead, and she is left alone. She doesn't want to go out even more. At least she can keep the two little graves company here. If she goes out, she won't even have the slightest thought of it...
I smiled and said that she was born with a good appearance. If she goes out, she can always find someone to marry, right? Wouldn't she have a family again?
An Ru smiled and didn't say anything.
After roughly understanding the situation, I asked again how An Ru saved me.
Indeed, this is a very strange thing.
I have burns and carbonization all over my body. If it were someone else, I would have died long ago. I was cursed by the heavens, tortured constantly, and hung on for my last breath. The King of Hell just wouldn't take me, but now I am intact. No matter how I think about it, it's something I can't understand. I guess even if Hua Tuo was reborn, Bian Que couldn't do it, right?
An Ru agreed immediately. She said that her father used to be a doctor, and he was best at treating burns, because he found a very strange herb in the mountains, which looked like bean sprouts, with blood-red roots and smelled a bit stinky. After crushing it and applying it to the burn area, it felt cool and it wouldn't take long for the skin to grow again, so he called this herb Qingliangcao.
That day, after she carried me back, she saved me with this Qingliangcao.
I thought about it for a long time, but I really couldn't figure out what this Qingliangcao was. I guess it was some treasure grown in the mountains? Just based on this thing, it must be priceless. It can do something that modern medicine cannot do. How powerful is it?
"This can be considered an unexpected surprise, right? A person who wants to die has waited for a chance to live..."
I sighed, but couldn't think of how to repay this girl for saving my life.
"But your fever is too serious. You have been in a coma for more than half a month. It's troublesome to treat you. I have to remove the burnt area first, and then apply medicine to you. The key is that you always say some weird things..."
An Ru lowered her head and muttered casually, and took out an egg from the porcelain plate, crushed the eggshell with a "click", and peeled it down piece by piece.
My eyelids twitched, my whole body was uncomfortable, and my scalp felt numb. I seemed to have guessed the treatment process vaguely...
"Here, eat it, you need to replenish your body."
An Ru handed the egg to me.
Looking at the white and tender eggs, I sighed silently, as if thinking of myself...
Under the gaze of the other party, I had a hard time eating every bite.
Seeing that I had finished eating, An Ru clapped her hands in satisfaction, stood up with a smile, took out a set of clothes from the box, and then put a package in front of me.
She said that my clothes were all ruined, almost all stuck to the burnt flesh, and she just picked them off. This set of clothes belonged to her father, and should be a little smaller, so I had to make do with it. As for the package, it contained some of my things.
"You are still very weak. You need to rest for a long time after using the cool grass. You have slept too long. You should adapt to it in the next two days. When you are better, I will send you away."
Before leaving, An Ru smiled and told me: "It is very dangerous in the mountains. Don't run around if you have nothing to do. We call this place Black Blind Valley because there are black blinds in the mountains. If you run out, be careful to be eaten by the black blinds!"
After that, she left.
I hesitated for a moment and opened the package in front of me.
Inside was the Tianguan Blade and the wind chime!
At this point, I suddenly remembered that when I was planted like a carrot in the lightning wasteland, neither Cang Yao nor Yin Nu made any movement!
Thinking of this, I picked up the wind chime and rubbed it in my hands, calling each other constantly.
"Blood..."
"Blood..."
A series of low voices echoed in my heart.
After hesitating for a moment, I pressed my finger on the sharp protrusion of the Tianguan Blade and pierced it, squeezing out a drop of blood and dripping it on the wind chime. A strange scene appeared, and the blood "sizzled" into the wind chime. However, when I dripped the second drop of blood, the blood rolled down the wind chime, as if it was saturated.
"God damn it, it killed me..."
The Yin slave cursed from the wind chime: "The master is still sleeping, and has been scolding you, a son of a bitch, saying that you are pretending to be a hero for no reason and almost killed her..."
I was stunned for a while, and when I was about to ask, the Yin slave told me bluntly that I should not harass it, or it would be dead if I harassed it again.
Then it ignored me.
I thought about it, thinking that it might be that when the thousands of thunders were added to it, it and Cang Yao were also affected, no wonder there was no reaction...
As An Ru said, I was indeed extremely weak now. I just sat up for a while and sweated all over. I had to lie down like a sickly person and spent the whole day on the kang.
At noon and in the evening, I saw An Ru again. She talked to me for a while and then left.
The next day, my spirit and physical strength recovered a lot. I put on my clothes and walked on the ground for a while. As a result, An Ru rushed in soon and pushed me back to the kang without any hesitation, saying that I needed to rest.
It was not until the third day that my physical strength was finally similar to that of a normal person. At least I would not have to stop and rest for a long time after walking a few steps.
This time, An Ru did not appear again. Maybe she was busy outside...
I hesitated for a moment, pushed the door and walked out of the room. In fact, I still felt that this village was too strange from the bottom of my heart, and I wanted to go out and take a look...
