Chapter 2 You are only a junior!

When she woke up again, she lay on a hard bed.

The quilt covered by his body was washed white and exuded a clean smell. The soft sunlight shone in through the yellowed window paper, shining on a mottled wall of the earthen wall.

It can be seen that the owner of the house tried his best, but the environment was not satisfactory.

She blinked and swallowed her saliva hard. A stinging sensation came from her throat, and she couldn't bear the thirst.

Unfamiliar environment.

It took a lot of effort to remember everything before and the last scene before she fell into a coma. She was rescued, right? Although the house looked penniless, compared to being trapped in that well, it seemed like heaven.

Light footsteps sounded outside, and the mute woman lifted the curtain and came in, holding a stone pottery cup in her hand.

Seeing that she had woken up, she was excited and quickened her pace and helped her up to feed her water. The warm liquid entered her throat, with a sweet and sweet taste, which immediately relieved all her discomfort.

After drinking the water, the mute woman brought a bowl of millet porridge and a bowl of soup for her to drink.

Outside, a sharp female voice came from a swearing: "I said that mistress, since she woke up, don't pretend to be delicate! Just asking the doctor for a few hangs of money and paying for a few eggs!"

"Damn girl! Money-losing guy! I've been sleeping for two days, but why don't I get up quickly! The pig grass is gone, and my clothes are still waiting to be washed! How many work is waiting to be done? Are you embarrassed to lie down and pretend to be dead?!"

Is this scolding me?

Her face was blank and she looked at the mute woman with inquiring eyes.

The mute woman wiped her hands on the hem of the apron, gave her a reassuring smile, and left the room. She didn't know how she solved it, but after a moment, a fat woman came in.

Compared with the old and haggard face of the mute woman, the woman was glossy and shiny. She put on her oily hair and tied a round bun, inserted a shiny silver hairpin. She wore a huge silver ingot ring on her fingers as thick as a carrot.

I saw her trembling her chin and trying hard to squeeze out a smile and said, "Since my sister said she was working for you, mistress, you should lie down with peace of mind. Whatever you want to eat, just tell your aunt, don't be polite for the family."

The title of "miss three" made her brow jump.

What a mistress, you are just a mistress, your whole family is a mistress! She glared at the fat woman who claimed to be her aunt in anger.

Besides, if she is so arrogant at first and then respectful? There must be something wrong, and she is suspicious. If she hadn't been here for the first time and could not figure out the situation in front of her, she would have to give her some color!

When the fat woman went out, the mute girl quickly gestured to her for a long time, which roughly meant to let her have a good rest and not make the fat woman angry.

She smiled self-deprecatingly and responded.

What can she have with her current situation? First, take care of this small body and figure out the situation clearly. The medicine surged, and she fell asleep again with full of doubts and injuries.

Fortunately, she was young and recovered very quickly. In a few days, the minor injuries on her body healed and scabbed, and she recovered most of the disease and had the strength to walk around.

However, no matter how she managed to find any memory of the original owner.

No matter how brave she is, she is alone in a completely unfamiliar environment, surrounded by strange things, and strangers. Uneasiness and uneasiness always linger in her heart, forcing her to be careful.

In the past few days, she learned that her name was "Xu Sanchun", and called the mute woman "Mummy", which was the orphan that the mute mother picked up when she was joining her brother and sister-in-law, so she raised her like her biological daughter.

The language here is completely different from the Mandarin she is familiar with. Fortunately, perhaps because of the original owner's body, she could understand the words here.

Now it is the late spring of the 48th year of Songlie in the Great Shang Dynasty. This place is called Tiantai Township. However, this "Shang" in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties that she knew would never have cotton coats and silver jewelry. This place is remote and in order not to be suspected, she dared not ask more.

The fat woman is the mute girl's sister-in-law Wang. Her man Xu Jinshui is the mute girl's brother. She works as a manager in the salt field and is a big and small leader, with more than ten people under her charge.

In this family, there are two sons and one daughter born by Wang, and a mother and daughter who are working in short-term labor.

However, she understood that the mute lady and she were slaves who did not need to pay for their wages in this family. When she fell ill, the burden on the mute lady's shoulders became heavier and heavier.

The brother and sister-in-law did not treat the mute mother as their own sister at all. They thought that if they provided a place for their mother and daughter to settle down, they deserved to be a cow and a horse to repay their kindness.

The mute girl brought a stone pottery bowl in and placed it on the table, and gestured: "I'll eat it and replenish my body."

After spending these days together, although Xu Sanchun does not have the memory of the original owner, he meticulously memorizes and ponders the mute girl's gestures, so that he can see clearly.

This bowl of egg custard was steamed golden, with a small spoonful of lard onion on it, and a few green onion were sprinkled on it, exuding a fragrant smell, which made Xu Sanchun's stomach craze.

It’s so unpromising! When can a bowl of steamed eggs make me greedy like this? Thinking back then, my sister, I thought the braised pork in the cafeteria was too greasy.

Xu Sanchun sighed, what's the use of these now?

"Thank you, mute lady." She thanked her and ate all in a few strokes.

Just after putting the bowl, Wang's daughter Xu Lan came in, looked at the empty bowl, and raised her voice and said, "Oh, I said you don't work in broad daylight, why are you doing secretly in the house? You turned out to be stealing eggs."

"What are you stealing?!" Xu Sanchun's anger that had been suppressed for several days was ignited and he glared at Xu Lan: "What's wrong with eating a few eggs? Are we doing less work?"

She watched with her own eyes that the mute girl got up before dawn and stopped in the middle of the night, busy from morning to night. It is not difficult to speculate that they have been here in this way over the years.

Xu Lan was stunned, then furious, pointed at Xu Sanchun and screamed loudly: "Okay! Miss San, you are so ill, you are so angry!"

"Don't call me mistress again!" Xu Sanchun patted her fingers and said, "I am your cousin. If you don't have big or small things like this, I won't be polite to you."

In terms of etiquette, she is indeed Xu Lan's cousin.

She spoke so fiercely, and she really scared Xu Lan. She touched her fingers that were hurt by her. Xu Lan showed timidity on her face, and she flattened her mouth and ran out.

Xu Sanchun looked at the mute girl with a worried look on her face and smiled, "Mom, don't worry. She is a little girl, but she is used to bullying the weak and afraid of being a tough guy, so she dare not be like that."

The mute girl waved her hands repeatedly, meaning: "Don't call me mother."

Xu Sanchun smiled helplessly, not understanding why the mute girl who worked hard to pull her up was not allowed to call her "mother".

Although this was just a few days of getting along, the mute girl treated her meticulously. With more than ten years of grace to raise her, why can’t she be regarded as the word “mother”?

However, this was always what her mute mother meant, so Xu Sanchun had to laugh: "Mummy mother, don't worry."
