Dark night, like a pair of invisible hands, tightly hold people, that kind of depression and pain seems to suffocate people at any time.
Suddenly, the lantern hanging from the tree in the distance broke the black night. Although the lantern lights are bright and dark, it adds a little warmth to the silent night.
Seeing that Yuxi had been silent for a long time, Yunqing said, "don't say 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 Yuxi's description became more and more detailed, there was a sense of unease in his mind.
Yuxi is pulled back to reality by Yunqing's words. He looks down at Yunqing and says: "when those robbers broke into the villa, I happened to be in the back of the village. I felt it was wrong to watch the village blaze. My mother-in-law and her family are all in the village, so she went back to the village, and I dare not go back, so I went straight out of the village and prepared to go back to the capital. "
Yunqing has now abandoned the two people. They are talking about a dream. They only follow Yuxi's thinking: "as far as you are concerned, how can you go to the capital from Chuang Tzu as a single woman when there are many wars outside?" If it's Yuxi now, maybe it's OK. But Yuxi said that in her dream, she is a timid person who does not walk out of two gates. Such a person, let alone in troubled times, is not safe to be alone outside in peace.
In fact, when Yuxi thought about it now, he also thought it was incredible: "maybe people are trapped 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. All these four days depend on wild vegetables and fruits. Because it's a mountain road, there will be wild animals at night. In order to prevent wild animals from attacking me, I found a kind of herbal medicine with a fishy smell that I knew. It was pounding and smeared on my body, and my face was dirty. The smell of that kind of herbal medicine is very bad, let alone the animals that eat people, even the insects and flies are disgusted. Those days were very hard. I didn't have anything to eat. I had to sleep out in the evening. Fortunately, it was early October, and the weather was not cold. If it had been winter, it would have frozen to death in the wild. "
So love clean Yuxi, in the dream even had to dress up as a stinking beggar woman. Yunqing felt that he had some difficulty in speaking: "what happened later? Do you just walk back to the capital? " Since it's out of the way, it must be a long walk back to the capital.
Yuxi nodded his head and said, "I dare not call a carriage when I come to the town. I'm afraid I will die in case of being noticed. So I used a pair of gold earrings for a package of dry food and left the town. " After a pause, Yuxi explained: "because of the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, there are a large number of refugees pouring into the capital, so the food is extremely expensive. I only got six Jin of dry food for a pair of gold earrings. " She tried her best to keep the six Jin grain. Otherwise, I would have been robbed.
Yunqing also knew that the price during the unrest was too high.
Yuxi thought of the escape experience, and his eyes revealed an unspeakable calm: "because there are too many refugees, wild vegetables have been eaten up. The six Jin grain is only allowed to eat for four days. I'm so hungry that I have to dig roots and leaves to fill my stomach. At the end of the day, there was no root to eat. Some of the refugees were so hungry that they began to eat people. Many of the children of the refugees have been poisoned. " Fortunately, she has a bad smell. These people can't see her. Otherwise, I'm not sure they ate it.
Now think about it, Yuxi thinks that she was tough in her last life. I was not scared to death when I met such a thing. I even went to the gate of the capital.
Yunqing himself has eaten the root of the tree. How can he not know the taste of the root. It's bitter and astringent. It's hard to swallow. But I can't be hungry. In order to survive, I have to swallow no matter how bad it is.
Yuxi said: "I also had a gold necklace and a silver bracelet on my body at that time. I used these things to secretly exchange for food several times, and I also went to the capital. But the gate of the capital city is closed. You can only go out and not enter. I can't get into the capital. " She made several pieces of the gold necklace, and changed each one for something to eat. Otherwise, she must have starved to death on the way.
Yunqing didn't speak. He listened to Yuxi quietly. In fact, just now I know that Yuxi in my dream is not stupid. If he is stupid, he can't walk from Zhuangzi to the capital safely. In the dream, Yuxi will fall into such a miserable situation because she has been raised awkwardly.
Thinking of what happened under the gate of the capital, Yuxi's eyes flashed with anger: "the gate is closed, I can only live in the refugee camp. The next day, I found the officer who sent food to the refugee camp. I asked them to send a message to Han's house for me. I wanted my aunt to send someone to pick me up. But the official told me that the Jiang family said that I had been killed by robbers and that all the funerals had been done. I didn't expect the Jiangs to help me at the beginning, I just wanted to ask my aunt to help me. Unfortunately, I think too naive. The official told me that I could still live in the refugee camp, and there was only one way back to the capital. Because I've been living in exile for half a month, I'm not innocent in the eyes of those people. The people of the Jiang family will not let me live, and the Han family, as the Queen's mother, will not tolerate such a stain. As the official said, even if I go back to the capital, there is only one way to die. "
Yun Qing's face was very ugly: "do you mean that Han Yuchen also became Queen in your dream? Since she is the queen, why don't she support you? " Han Yuchen as the queen, as long as a little Buddha, the dream of Yuxi will not be so miserable.
Yuxi's words were very quiet: "I am such a sister who can't stand on the stage. She hates not to have it. Where can she still shine on the Buddha. But I can't blame her. I can't stand on my own and it's normal for me to be ignored. " Yuchen was raised by the old lady. Like the old lady, the most important thing is profit and loss. Of course, Han Jianming, raised by the old lady, is almost the same. It's just Han Jianming, more human.
Yunqing doesn't know how to say it. In Yuxi's dream, except for the Qiu family, none of the Han family has a kind and pure person: "if you can't go back to the capital, what do you do?" In troubled times, it's hard for a weak homeless woman to survive.
The next thing was Yuxi's deepest pain: "after half a month's hard work, I was hit like this again. My body had reached its limit, and I had a high fever that night. However, it rained again that night, and the thatch shed where I lived was not so tall was leaking everywhere. The next day, when the people in the refugee camp saw the comatose man, I thought he was dead, so they prepared to burn me to prevent the body from being left for a long time to cause pestilence. I woke up and cried that I was still alive. Don't burn me. But these people ignored my cry and burned me with other bodies. "
When Yunqing heard this, his whole body froze. "They burned you to death with fire?" Even if I haven't experienced it, I know how painful it is to be burned alive.
Yuxi said with a sound, "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... "
When Yunqing heard Yuxi's detailed description, he felt something was wrong. He immediately interrupted Yuxi's words, holding Yuxi's face in his hands, and said, "Yuxi, don't think about it. It's just a nightmare, not a real one."
Yuxi's tears came down and said, "I know it's a dream, but I will never forget the pain. And all these years, I always dream that I have been burned to death by fire, and I have to experience that pain again every time. " As long as it is stimulated, it will dream of being burned.
Hearing this, Yunqing shuddered. Burned alive, I don't want to have another experience. And Yuxi often experiences that kind of pain, not crazy to keep normal, also because of her tenacity: "there is no way to solve this problem?"
Yu Xi whispered: "I in my dream, before being burned, made a poisonous oath to repay Jiang Hongjin twice as much as the pain he suffered in me, and then I will defeat him."
When Yunqing heard this, he didn't want to say, "why don't you just kill him? Maybe if he died, you will never have this nightmare again. " If it was him, even a dream, he would kill Jiang Hongjin. He won't even wait so long. He will try to kill Jiang Hongjin. In this way, we can really eliminate the future troubles.
Yuxi lowered his head and said, "after all, the dream is not a reality. In reality, he didn't kill me, so I couldn't give him a hand. But when I had this nightmare again, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I asked Yang Duoming to teach him a lesson. It's also revenge for the one I suffered in my dream. I can't believe it. I feel all kinds of things in my dream, and I still remember them clearly. It's like it wasn't a dream, it was a real experience. " After a pause, Yuxi said, "but because of this dream, I dare not be weak again. When smallpox was ready, I asked my eldest aunt to send me a literate woman. After me, I followed the woman and she read. "
Yunqing is shocked: "can't you read in your dream?" It's not that the girls of big families are all carefully cultivated! How can I not read.
Yuxi's mood has calmed down and said: "in my dream, because of my poor aptitude, I am not qualified to follow Mr. Song to read and write with her. It's also because of the experience in my dream that I want to learn more and learn something about myself. So even if Mr. Song hates me, I will stick to it. "
Yunqing knows a lot about Yuxi's growing up. In fact, Yunqing also had doubts before, that is, Yuxi is so easy to learn, so good to learn is not normal. And Yuxi's words today have solved his doubts.
