Chapter 119： Hit the face with the ancients

It looks like a kind of straw weave, but after touching it, it is still so strong after a thousand years.

There is no sign of weathering, which is really strange.

Is this kind of grass special? Or is it special treatment?

"Look, there is a portrait here." Aunt Joe turned her head and said to me.

I walked over and looked up at the portrait on it, a little surprised.

I didn't expect these thousand years to pass, the portrait is still so clear, the colors are still so bright, and the portrait is obviously realistic.

What surprised me the most was that the person in the portrait was very similar to me.

It's like I'm wearing ancient costumes myself.

"This...I'm not mistaken, right?" I rubbed my eyes vigorously and looked at the portrait.

"You read that right, the person above looks very similar to you."

"My face is probably too popular. It's fine to bump into people frequently. Now I even bumped into an ancient person." I touched my face and muttered silently.

"Your face is popular?" Aunt Joe looked at me in surprise.

I nodded.

"Maybe it's fate, or maybe she is your ancestor! There are so many mysterious things in this world."

Speaking of this, she looked at me and asked, "Who else are you similar to?"

"Just the two sisters of the Xia family, one of them is Qiao Liang's current wife." I said awkwardly.

"It turns out to be from the Xia family." Aunt Qiao mumbled.

"Do you know the Xia family?" I couldn't help asking.

"Xia Ling and I are classmates. Her husband joined Xia's family. Xia Ling is a relatively strong person, but her heart is not bad."

After hearing Aunt Joe's comment, I don't know how to reply.

We only dealt with Mrs. Xia a few times, and each time we broke up unhappily, and we even had such a sordid relationship between the two of us. It would be impossible for us to turn an enemy into a friend.

But I didn't expect that Mrs. Xia's husband would be a parent.

Ancheng’s mother seems to be sisters to Mrs. Xia, and Ancheng and Xia Xiaoyu are cousins.

And this time I was kidnapped and sold to the mountainous area. I think the Xia family is most suspected.

Even Qiao Liang's text message is probably fake.

As for the people who can get Qiaoliang's cell phone, no one else except the Xia family.

"I was kidnapped here this time, and the biggest suspect is from the Xia family."

Aunt Qiao was silent for a while, looked at me and asked, "Is it because of Qiao Liang?"

"There is a part of the reason, but the more likely it is to hate me for escaping."

Immediately, I told Aunt Qiao about the fact that I had signed for a bone marrow transplant and later ran away because of pregnancy.

"Now I heard that Xia Xiaoyu's health is not good, it should not last long, and Mrs. Xia should hate me very much."

Speaking of this, I smiled bitterly: "If allowed, I think she would like to let me be buried with Xia Xiaoyu."

I am afraid that there are too many grievances between me and the Xia family. Maybe it is like some mutual restraint in the dark.

"When I first saw you, do you know why I insisted on buying you?" Aunt Joe asked me.

"Isn't it to help escape together?"

"Because you look very similar to Xia Ling, I thought you were the daughter of the Xia family." She looked at me and said.

Hearing this, I understand that even if the Xia family was more than 20 years ago, it was still a big family with some influence.

So, if I were from the Xia family, as long as I escaped, there must be a way to rescue her.

From a rational point of view, what Aunt Qiao did is not wrong, even deliberate.

But even so, my heart is still a little bit sour and uncomfortable.

"But I am now very grateful for my decision at the time." She looked at me and smiled.

"Is it because I am Youyou's mother?" I looked at her and asked.

"Because of your kind heart." She looked at me seriously.

"That's you saving me first." I replied with a little embarrassment.

"There are a lot of stories about the farmer and the snake. If you are grateful, it means you are a good boy, do you know? I have been here for so many years, what is the saddest thing?" She looked at me and asked.

"What is it?" I couldn't help but follow her and asked.

"What I hate most is the women who were abducted and trafficked back then. Many of them turned out to be perpetrators. Many of them started buying wives for their children and then became the mother-in-laws they remembered."

From a victim to becoming a perpetrator, this change is indeed embarrassing.

"I know it is not them that I should hate most, but the demons who have assimilated them."

Listening to Aunt Qiao's words and thinking about her experiences over the years, I feel distressed.

I couldn't help but stepped forward and held her hand, giving her silent comfort.

In such a place, having been trapped for so many years, she can still maintain her own character, which is commendable.

Especially, after this encounter, I realized that she was a person who was smart, brave, and persistent.

"Auntie Joe, we will definitely leave here."

"You see, at least here, we are not afraid that those people will find us."

With that said, I helped her sit down on the stone bench, and then took out dry food for her to eat.

"Auntie Joe, it's safe here now. Let's eat something first. When we are full, we will have the strength to think about other things.

"I only prepared your own portion of these dry food, and it will only last for two days. If you add me, it will be eaten in one day."

"It's okay, after eating, we can think of other ways."

I think it’s okay, the big deal is that I eat less every time.

Aunt Qiao broke a steamed bun in half and handed me half: "We have to stay here for at least two days. Let's eat less each time! After that, we will have to save up energy to drive on."

Hearing what she said, I took out the half and silently began to eat.

Although my family background was not good, I had never been so poor. I really did not expect that I would fall to this point.

Even eating has become a luxury, and I have to endure hungry...

"Auntie Joe, the temperature here is not as cold as it is outside, so why not lie there and rest for a while."

I pointed to the bed and said.

It's a pity that the mattress on it has long been unusable.

Aunt Qiao shook her head: "Let's sit on the futon and rest!"

Speaking of this, I have a lot to say: "I always find it a bit strange here."

"Look, since this is not an ancient tomb, where did the owner go?"

It seems very simple here, but it takes a lot of work to arrange this stone room like this.

Moreover, the priceless things like the Ye Mingzhu on this place have become lighting fixtures here, which shows that the status of the owner here is very high, and even these valuable things are not worthy of.
