Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 232: Escape from the Mountains (13)

It rained for several days in a row, and the original land road in the village turned into a sticky mud road. The fishy smell of rain and mud filled the air.

The rain does not affect the villagers' work. Villagers wearing straw hats and oil-paper clothes can still be seen walking back and forth in the village.

Li Yougen, who has always been active, also stayed at home for several days. He had nothing to do at home and slept with Li Yuliang.

Li Yuliang didn't go out for several days. He lay in bed, drank when he was awake, and slept when he was drunk.

Worried that the small dark room would leak and get damp, Xiaocao took her mother into the sleeping room and locked the door.

The rural primary school had an early holiday, so Xiaohua didn't have to go to school. Xiaocao took Xiaohua to Dr. Wang's home to do the homework she assigned.

Finally, the sky cleared up and Dr. Wang looked very happy, as this meant that new medicinal herbs must have sprouted on the mountain.

The grass looked at the sky and thought that the day of harvesting wheat would soon come.

You can start preparing now.

Those who had followed Dr. Wang up and down the mountain during this period had also gotten to know this area of ​​the mountain very well. Coupled with the route map given by Wang Yuanyuan, the day of escape was just around the corner.

...

The wheat waves roll and the golden waves sway.

The ears of corn were heavy and golden, like a layer of gold foil spread on the barren land, but the joy of the harvest was not reflected on the faces of the villagers.

"Damn it, it's time to harvest the wheat again."

"How much can wheat be sold for now? I haven't sold any of the last crop of wheat. I grind it all into flour at home and eat it all."

“City people now eat refined noodles!”

Xiao Cao had three dollars in his pocket, which was the payment for helping the canteen chef harvest wheat.

She worked for the whole afternoon, swinging the sickle so many times that her clothes were soaked with sweat, but she only earned three dollars.

Never mind, even a little bit of meat is still meat.

Xiaocao came to the pond, took a bath, and caught a fat fish to take home and make fish soup.

After returning home with the bamboo basket, Li Yuliang and Li Yougen were not at home, and Xiaohua was boiling water in the kitchen.

Quickly cut open the fish, remove the scales, put it into a large pot, fry it, grind it, and then pour in boiled water to stew it.

Before serving, sprinkle a handful of greens given by the canteen chef into the dish.

The rich aroma of fish soup spread in the yard, and the dog from Aunt Hua's house next door stood outside the yard watching, smelling the scent.

Xiaocao scooped out a bowl and hid it aside, and ladled the remaining fish soup into the two people's bowls.

At this time, there was a bustling sound outside the yard.

"This is my home, hey, come in quickly."

It’s Li Yuliang.

"Little flower! Little flower!"

When Xiaohua heard Li Yuliang calling her, she glanced at Xiaocao standing outside the kitchen and looked in timidly.

As soon as Li Yuliang entered the yard, he smelled the fragrance of fish soup, and his originally smiling face suddenly turned gloomy.

Damn it, I knew these two girls who lost money would eat secretly. Well, they can eat well while he is not at home, right?

Thinking of the person behind him, Li Yuliang held back his outburst and, for the first time ever, smiled and waved at Xiaohua: "Xiaohua, come, come to Daddy."

Xiaohua didn't move.

Xiaocao stepped forward and let Xiaohua eat first.

Li Yuliang said to a middle-aged man wearing a washed-out shirt behind him, "My second daughter is very honest and afraid of strangers."

When he saw Xiaocao, he said, "This is my eldest daughter."

The middle-aged man glanced at Xiaocao and then looked away with disinterest.

The four of them walked into the yard. Li Yuliang saw two people drinking fish soup in the kitchen. He was angry and greedy, but he couldn't show his anger because there were outsiders around.

He pulled the cowering little flower out and lifted her face to show it to the three of them.

"Look, isn't the second girl pretty? She's just too thin. She'll be pretty when she grows up."

The middle-aged man nodded.

Li Yuliang grinned, revealing two rows of yellow teeth, and said happily, "This girl looks like her mother. Her mother was the most beautiful among all the women in her time! I spent three thousand to buy her!"

Xiaocao's face turned cold: "What are you going to do?"

"Go away, what's your business?"

"You want to sell Xiaohua?"

Xiaocao quickly pushed Li Yuliang away and said, "Xiaohua, run!"

Xiaohua, freed from her shackles, quickly ran away and out of the yard.

Seeing this, Li Yuliang grabbed Xiaocao by the collar and slapped her in the face. The bloody curses came through the buzzing tinnitus.

"You filthy bastard! If you weren't ugly, I would have sold you out long ago!"

"You're such a traitor! I've kept you guys for so many years, and you're eating and drinking for free! You should have made money for me by now!"

Xiaocao kicked Li Yuliang's good leg hard, using all his strength to kick it several times, causing Li Yuliang to scream in pain.

Li Yuliang shook Xiaocao away with force, and her head immediately hit the stove, knocking a bowl of fish soup to the ground, with fragments scattered all over the floor.

"I think you've really rebelled! You dare to kick your father? You're as shameless as your mother, you bitch!"

Li Yuliang's legs hurt and he could hardly stand. He held onto the door frame, picked up the vegetable basket next to him and threw it at Xiaocao.

The three people outside the door shook their heads when they saw this.

"Old Li, your girl isn't cooperating. Bring her here when she cooperates."

Li Yuliang endured the pain in his legs and hurried after him.

Xiaocao stood up by the stove, and when she loosened her hand, her palm was covered in blood.

"I should have thrown you into the river when you were born!" Li Yuliang cursed angrily. If it weren't for the pain in his legs, he would have beaten this rebellious bitch to death today.

Li Yuliang walked into the house cursing.

[Host, calm down. Killing is prohibited in non-special worlds.]

"I know."

"I'll let him destroy himself."

Xiaocao wiped the blood off her face and brought the fish soup to feed the children.

While eating, the seeping blood dripped onto the back of the woman's hand.

The woman, who had not reacted in the past half month, trembled her hand and looked up at Xiaocao.

The woman's eyes were indeed beautiful, very standard diamond-shaped eyes, and her pupils, which had been out of focus before, were now focused on the wound on her forehead.

“Blood, blood…”

The woman's body was trembling, and she kept shrinking into the corner.

"it's okay no problem."

The grass comforted her.

“Blood, blood…blood!”

Xiao Cao frowned and coaxed softly, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."

She watched as the woman's eyes focused on her forehead, her expression frightened, but at least more human than her previous dull look.

Xiao Cao stared intently for a moment and said, "Chen Shanshan."

The woman's body trembled.

"Chen Shanshan, Chen Shanshan?"

The woman's reaction became even stronger. She started crying loudly, tears instantly covering her entire face.

Seeing this, Xiaocao quickly put down her bowl and spoon and hugged her shoulders to comfort her.

"It's okay, it's okay."

"No one will bully you anymore."

...

After feeding her, she took advantage of the last ray of evening light to go to Dr. Wang's house.

Doctor Wang was shocked when he saw the bloody hole on her forehead.

"Hey, Nier, what's going on?"

Xiaocao didn't say anything. Doctor Wang guessed that it was Li Yuliang who was beating someone again.

Doctor Wang sighed and took out the hemostatic powder to apply on her.

"Why don't you hide? Even if your father hits you, you should know to hide."

Xiaocao is not stupid, but the strength gap between a child and an adult is too big, and this body is malnourished.

On the way back, Xiaocao saw Xiaohua.

Xiaohua ran towards her quickly, and when she saw the wound on her sister's forehead, she started crying again.

Xiaocao patted Xiaohua on the head and said, "Don't be afraid. He won't sell you out."

Xiaohua sobbed, "I, I don't want you to get beaten."

"I won't do that again. Come on, take me to take a bath and brush my teeth."

"But Dad..."

"Don't worry, his legs hurt, he won't come out."

When they walked out of the yard, Xiaohua was still frightened and held Xiaocao's hand tightly.

The grass said, "Don't be afraid."

The yard was quiet, and Li Yuliang didn't make a sound in the house.

Xiaocao walked into the kitchen and saw that all the remaining fish soup in the pot had been eaten up.

"Xiaohua, are you hungry?"

Xiaohua was very sensible: "I'm not hungry."

Xiaocao cleaned the pot, boiled some water, and put two sweet potatoes in it to steam.

She walked downstairs, preparing to grab a handful of dry mugwort and put it in the pot to boil water. When she passed by the vegetable garden where the mountain peach pits were buried, she saw a hint of tender green sprouts emerging from the barren land.
