Chapter 493 Dream (3)
The dark night, like a pair of invisible hands, tightly restrained people, the kind of depression and pain that seemed to suffocate people at any time.
Suddenly, a lantern hanging from a tree in the distance broke the dark night. Although the lights of the lantern flickered, it added a touch of warmth to this quiet and desolate night.
Seeing that Yuxi didn't speak for a long time, Yun Qing said, "Don't say it if you don't want to. Don't force yourself." At the beginning, he thought it was just a dream and didn't care. But as Oak-hee's description became more and more detailed, he felt a sense of unease.
Yuxi was pulled back to reality by Yunqing's words, looked sideways at Yunqing and said: "When those robbers broke into the villa, I happened to be in the back mountain of the village. I felt wrong when I watched the fire in the village. My mother-in-law's family is in the village, so she went back to the village, but I didn't dare to go back, so I went straight out of Zhuangzi and prepared to go back to the capital."
Yun Qing has now put aside the fact that the two are talking about a dream, and only considers the problem according to what Yu Xi said: "As you said, there are so many soldiers outside, how can you, a single woman, get a job from Zhuangzi? Going to the capital?" If it was the current Oak Xi, it might be fine. But Oak-hee said that in her dream, she was a timid and timid person. People like this, let alone in the **** world, are not safe to be alone outside in peacetime.
In fact, Oak-hee thinks about it now and finds it unbelievable: "Maybe people are in a desperate situation, and they will try their best to survive! The village is very remote, and I walked from the village to the town for four days. I relied on wild vegetables for these four days. I went to eat with wild fruits. Because I was walking on a mountain road, there would be wild beasts at night. In order to prevent the wild beasts from attacking me, I found a kind of herbal medicine with a fishy smell that I knew, and rubbed it on my body, making my face dirty. Yes. The smell of the herbs is very unpleasant. Not to mention animals that eat people, even insects and flies are disgusted. Those days were very hard, not to mention nothing to eat, and I had to sleep outside at night. At the beginning of the month, the weather was not cold. If it was winter, I would have frozen to death in the wild."
Oak-hee, who loves cleanliness so much, had to dress up as a stinking beggar-in-law in her dream. Yun Qing felt that it was a little difficult for him to speak: "What about later? Are you going back to the capital on foot?" Since it is remote, it must be a long time to return to the capital on foot.
Yuxi nodded and said, "I didn't dare to call a horse-drawn carriage when I got to town, because I was afraid I would die if someone noticed. So I exchanged a pair of gold earrings for a pack of dry food and left the town." After a pause, Yuxi said Xi explained: "Because of the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, a large number of refugees poured into the capital, so the food is ridiculously expensive. I only exchanged six catties of dry food for a pair of gold earrings." She used up the six catties of food. Mind saved. Otherwise, they would have been robbed long ago.
Yunqing also knew that the price of goods was unreasonably high.
Yuxi remembered the escape experience, and his eyes revealed an indescribable calm: "Because there are too many refugees, all the wild vegetables have been eaten up. The six catties of grain are only allowed to eat for four days. I'm too hungry. , I could only dig up the roots and leaves to fill their stomachs. In the end, they didn't even have the roots to eat. Some of the refugees were so hungry that they started to eat people. Many children among the refugees did not eat. Less poisonous hands." Fortunately, she had a stench on her body, and these people looked down on her. Otherwise, it might be eaten by these people.
Thinking about it now, Oak-hee felt that she was actually tough in her previous life. I was not scared to death when I encountered such a thing, and even walked to the gate of the capital.
Yun Qing had eaten tree roots himself, so how could he not know how tree roots tasted? Bitter and astringent, hard to swallow. But I was so hungry that in order to survive, I had to swallow no matter how bad it was.
Yuxi said, "I still had a gold necklace and a silver bracelet on my body at the time. I used these items to exchange for food a few times secretly, and I also ended up in the capital. But the gates of the capital were sealed, so I could only go out and not enter.
I can't get into the capital. "The gold necklace was cut into several pieces by her, and each piece was changed for something to eat. Otherwise, she must have starved to death on the road.
Yun Qing didn't speak, and listened to Yu Xi silently. In fact, just from what I just said, I knew that Oak Xi in the dream was not stupid. If he was stupid, it would be impossible to walk from Zhuangzi to the capital safely. Oak Hee in the dream would fall into such a miserable situation because she was raised crookedly.
Thinking of what happened under the gate of the capital city, Yuxi's eyes flashed with anger: "The gate is sealed, so I can only live in the refugee camp. The next day I found the officials who sent food to the refugee camp, and begged them. Help me send a message to the Han family, asking my aunt to send someone to take me back to the house. But the official told me that the Jiang family said that I had been killed by a robber and that the funeral had already been done. I didn't expect it from the beginning. The Jiang family came to save me, and I just wanted to ask my aunt to save me. Unfortunately, I was too naive. The official told me that I could still survive in the refugee camp, and I would only have to return to the capital. There is a dead end. Because I have been in exile for half a month, I am not innocent in the eyes of those people. Not to mention that the people of the Jiang family will not let me live, and the Han family, which is the mother of the queen, will definitely not tolerate me like this. As the official said, even if I go back to the capital, there will only be a dead end.”
Yun Qing's face was very ugly: "You mean that Han Yuchen became a queen in your dream? Since she is a queen, why didn't she support you." Oak-hee would not have been so miserable.
Yuxi's words were calm: "I'm a younger sister who can't stand on the stage, she can't live without it, where can I look at the Buddha. But I can't blame her, it's normal that I can't stand up and be looked down upon by others. ." Yuchen was raised by the old lady, like the old lady in her bones, the most important thing is the profit and loss. Of course, Han Jianming, who was raised by the old lady, is actually similar. It's just that Han Jianming is more humane.
Yun Qing didn't know what to say. In Yuxi's dream, except for Qiu's family, there is no kind and innocent person in the Han family: "If you can't go back to the capital, what will you do?" It's hard to survive.
What happened next was the deepest pain for Yuxi: "After half a month of hard work, I suffered such a blow again. My body has reached its limit, and I developed a high fever that night. It happened that it rained again that night. The thatched hut that was not yet tall was leaking water everywhere. On the second day, when the refugee camp saw me in a coma and thought I was dead, they were going to burn me to prevent the corpse from causing a plague. When I woke up, I cried and said I was still alive, don't burn me. But these people ignored my cry and burned me with the other bodies."
When Yun Qing heard this, his whole body froze: "They burned you to death with fire?" Even if he had never experienced it before, he knew how painful it was to be burned alive.
Oak Xi snorted and said, "I beg them, I beg them to bury me. Unfortunately, no one paid attention. The fire burned every inch of my skin, it hurt so much that I curled up in a ball... "
Yun Qing felt that something was wrong when he heard Yuxi's detailed description, and immediately interrupted Yuxi's words, cupping Yuxi's face with both hands and saying, "Yuxi, don't think about it, it was just a nightmare, not real."
Oak-hee's tears fell and she said, "I know it was a dream, but I will never forget the pain that went deep into my bones. And over the years, I've always dreamed that I was burned to death, and every time I had to take that pain out of my head. Experience it again." As long as you are stimulated, you will dream of being burned.
Hearing this, Yun Qing shuddered. Being burned alive, I have had one experience and I don't want to have a second time. And Yuxi often experiences that kind of pain, and she can remain normal without going crazy, because she is tenacious: "Is there no way to solve this trouble?"
Yuxi said in a low voice, "The me in my dream made a poisonous oath before I was burned to death, that I would repay Jiang Hongjin double the pain he put on me, and then smash him to ashes."
When Yun Qing heard this, he didn't want to say: "Then why don't you just kill him? Maybe if he's dead, you won't have this nightmare again." If it was him, even if it was a dream, he would He will also kill Jiang Hongjin. He won't even wait so long, he will find a way to kill Jiang Hongjin. In this way, the troubles are truly eliminated.
Oak Hee lowered her head and said, "What happened in the dream is not reality after all. In reality, he didn't kill me, so I couldn't do anything to him. But when I had this nightmare again, I couldn't take it anymore. , let Yang Duoming teach him a lesson. It can be regarded as revenge for the tortured me in the dream. It is a bit unbelievable to say it. I feel all the things in the dream, and I still remember it very clearly. It doesn't seem like it was a dream, but a real experience." After a pause, Oak-hee said again, "But because of this dream, I dare not be weak again. When the smallpox was healed, I asked my aunt to send it to me. A literate woman gave it to me. After I, I followed the woman to read."
Yun Qing was stunned: "Are you illiterate in your dream?" Isn't that a girl from a big family, she was brought up with a good heart! How could I be illiterate.
Yuxi had calmed down at this moment, and said, "In the dream, because I am stupid, I am not qualified to read and write with Mr. Song with the third sister. It is also because of the experience in the dream that I want to learn more. , learn something close to me. So even if Mr. Song hates me, I still persevere."
Yun Qing knew a lot about Yuxi from childhood to adulthood. In fact, Yun Qing had doubts before, that Yuxi was too good at learning, and it was not normal for him to be too eager to learn. And Yuxi's words today solved his doubts. (To be continued)
