Chapter 36 The Village of Sanctuary
In front of a few small thatched huts, some freshly picked wild vegetables were hung on some bamboo racks, some of which were already dry. A woman in her thirties and forties brought a basin of water into the house.
The afterglow of dusk came in through the bamboo window, just shining on An'er's pale face, making people look more and more caring.
The woman walked over and pulled the curtain. An'er opened her eyes, looked at the figure by the window, and asked, "Where is this?"
Hearing An'er's words, the woman turned around and walked to An'er's side. Her voice was disproportionate to her age, and it was so crisp and pleasant. She said, "This is Xi Village, why did you faint? What do you think now?"
"It's much better. Maybe it's because I haven't eaten for a few days." Indeed, An'er has been hungry for several days.
After hearing this, the woman felt relieved, but the girl's body was very cold, but she didn't ask in detail, and said, "Miss, please rest first, I'll bring some food for the girl."
"It's good that my wife calls me An'er. I haven't thanked her for saving you."
The woman turned around, smiled sweetly, and said, "Call me Liu Niang, your clothes are a little torn, there are some clothes that can be changed there, and the fabric is not very good. I hope Miss An'er will not dislike you."
"How could it be!" An'er smiled back.
When Liu Niang came over with food, An Er had just changed her clothes. She was wearing light blue clothes, beige cloth spikes tied on her waist, and a jade pendant with a red belt hanging around her waist. Her face was a little more bloody than before. Looking at her, Liu Niang was slightly stunned. If she grew up for a few years, she would see who else could compete with her for beauty.
Liu Niang asked where An'er came from again. An'er said that she was chased by a group of people and unfortunately fell into the water. Her elder brother also fell into the water. However, Liu Niang said that she had never heard of anyone in the village from the shore. However, she said that the people here moved here to avoid war, so no one has visited this place for more than ten years. No wonder An'er walked along the river for so long but did not see anyone. It turned out that this place was far away from the crowded place.
An'er stood on the big stone in front of the house, just worried about the official position, and didn't know if she could be as lucky as herself and could save her life.
"Who are you?" a strange voice.
An'er retracted his thoughts and looked to the left. He saw a man in his twenties calculating himself curiously. He was still carrying firewood on his shoulders. An'er guessed that he should be one of these people who were away from the world, so he replied: "My name is An'er. I was rescued by Liu Niang today, so I am here."
"How did you come here?" He still stared at An'er with a sceptical look on his face.
An'er felt that she was standing high and seemed a little inappropriate, so she went down to the ground and replied, "I was chased and unfortunately fell into the water. Then she walked along the river bank for three days before she got here."
He was not nervous and strange. The source of the river was indeed a big river. However, it flowed very strongly with the fork in the source, and the fork in the river was very narrow, so it was difficult for anyone to be washed into that river. Most of them were rushing to another fork in the river. Even if it rushed down, there were many reefs there and it was difficult to survive. But she seemed to have not suffered any serious injuries. He wanted to ask, but Liu Niang shouted: "Wu Weng, put down the firewood quickly, I have left you food, why haven't the foundation come back yet?"
His surname is Lin, his name is Yin, his name is Wuweng
"Genji has gone to deliver it to Uncle Feng and will be back soon." Lin Yin glanced at An'er and stopped asking her.
Jiang Genji came back soon. He was also very curious about why there was a girl at home, but he didn't care much. He just felt that this girl was different, and it made people feel very comfortable when they saw her.
After staying here for three days, An'er asked how to leave here, but no one seemed to want to tell her how to leave here. They seemed to be worried that once An'er left here, the place would be known to the world, which they didn't want to see.
But An'er had to leave here, she couldn't stay here forever. She had to go to the Shejia family to fulfill her promise to the old man.
An'er sat on a rock by the river, thinking that since they didn't tell them how to leave, then think of a way out for themselves. Walking down the river should have a way out.
When Genji saw her staring at the river alone, he knew that she wanted to leave here, but he didn't know how to leave here. Apart from the elderly in the village, only Lin Yin knew about it, but how could he sacrifice the whole village to tell her the way he left?
"Why are you in a hurry to leave here? I have been here for three or five years. Brother Wuweng knows that you are not a bad person, so he will definitely be willing to take you away." The outsiders who came here can only leave after three or five years of observation by the whole village and confirmed that this person would not be in danger to the village.
"I promised someone to deliver things to him. Although he didn't say when he would definitely deliver them, I really can't wait for three to five years."
"Why?" Since I didn't talk about time, it doesn't matter if I want to be late.
An'er smiled bitterly, looked at the passing river in front of her and said slowly: "I have internal diseases. I'm afraid I won't have three to five years of life. That thing is very important, so I have to hand it over to them in person."
Not three to five years' life? How could this be possible? Looking at her in front of her, she didn't look sick? She couldn't speak for a long time. Seeing him like this, An'er said again: "If you are lucky, you may have seven years."
I felt very sad when I thought that she was about to die when her youth was just right.
Another day later, An'er was helping Liu Niang dry vegetables. Lin Yin suddenly appeared in front of her and said, "Who are you going to give to, and what are you giving?"
