Wu Yinwei's face was confused.
Was she dreaming or dead?
How could a face she had never seen before appear in front of her.
"I'm going to make you a bowl of custard.
You've been sleeping all day and you should be hungry."
Xu Xinyu noticed that Wu Yinwei was awake.
Wu Yinwei said nothing and just looked at Xu Xinyu intently.
Xu Xinyu said in an exaggerated tone: "Hey, don't look at me like that.
It's scary.
I'm a human, not a ghost."
Only then did Wu Yinwei realize that she had seen the person in front of her, and her little cousin.
She saw her little cousin becoming beautiful.
The family had been gone for seven days, and she originally thought she would starve to death in bed.
Suddenly she heard someone talking, and someone said that the yard looked familiar.
She didn't believe her ears and thought she was dead.
Her soul returned to her childhood and heard others mention the conversation between her little cousin and her aunt's family.
She modified this yard according to the layout of her aunt's yard.
Later, she heard someone picking the lock, and her consciousness gradually became clear.
She was not dead, but a stranger came to the courtyard.
She saw someone enter her house, then saw that person exit and bring another person in.
Although the person who came in later was disheveled and had no bright red blood tumors on his face, his eyes were very familiar to her.
Those eyes could speak, and her questioning voice was talking about what happened in the yard of her aunt's house when she was a child.
That voice.
The third aunt said in the letter that the blood tumor on the little cousin's face is gone and the little cousin has become more beautiful.
If the person in front of me cleans her face, she will be very beautiful, as good-looking as the third uncle.
No, my little cousin is a girl, so she should be prettier than my third uncle.
Where is my little cousin?
Why is there only this girl in front of me?
Where is my little cousin?
Wu Yinwei panicked.
Struggling hard to get up.
"Don't worry, your little cousin is sleeping next to you.
Turn your head and look over there."
Xu Xinyu pointed to the side of the bed.
Wu Yinwei's thoughts were all written on her face.
Even though her face was covered in scars, it was hard to see her expression clearly, but with Xu Xinyu's experience, she could still make a good guess.
Wu Yinwei's face turned to the other side, and Ge Kailin was sleeping next to her.
Face towards her.
I couldn't sleep well because of pain all over my body.
I would frown or squirm from time to time.
Her face had been washed clean, and there were scars on her face from branches, but it could not hide her beauty.
"I went to make custard for you, but I could only find eggs."
Xu Xinyu went out.
Yesterday to today.
She and Ge Kailin had eaten countless eggs.

When Xu Xinyu came in with the egg custard, she saw Ge Kailin and Wu Yinwei sitting on the bed, staring at each other.
No one spoke.
Xu Xinyu grinned: "You two are meeting each other.
Get up when you wake up and go out to look for something else to eat.
Dried fruits will do."
He muttered in a low voice: "Just eat eggs.
Nothing else but farts."
"Pfft," Ge Kailin laughed.
"When did you speak so vulgarly?"
Xu Xinyu was dissatisfied: "What is vulgarity?
This is easy to understand."
He also laughed: "You two met suddenly.
There must be a lot to say and a lot of questions to figure out, and I don't know where to start.
Don't worry, take your time.
With the current situation of the three of us, Don’t worry about returning home safely due to your physical condition.
You two have plenty of time to catch up on old times, so let’s solve the food and clothing problem first.”
Ge Kailin calmed down and said to Wu Yinwei: "Fifth cousin, Xin Yu is right.
If you have something to say, let's talk slowly.
Don't be in a hurry.
I've checked it with you.
You are just weak.
There is nothing wrong with your voice.
Adjust it."
It’ll be fine after a while.”
After thinking for a while, he asked: "Can medicinal herbs be collected in this trench?"
Wu Yinwei nodded and slowly got out of bed.
Xu Xinyu helped her sit at the table: "You can drink egg soup first.
When Kailin and I find food, we will make something thicker for you."
Wu Yinwei nodded again.
When the old lady tied her up, she said that if her family didn't come back for more than five days, they would never come back.
She had no choice but to resign herself to fate.
It had been eight days now.
She shouldn't encounter her little cousin when she went out.
That family will not be in danger.
Ge Kailin also got out of bed and grinned every time she walked, but she had to persist and come back quickly to collect herbs.
After looking at Wu Yinwei, she came to a conclusion that was not just what she just said.
Wu Yinwei had multiple fractures, damaged organs, and severe endocrine disorders.
If she didn't correct her bones and regulate her body in time, her body would decline quickly.
It is said that his life is not long.
Ge Kailin had never done bone correction, but Xu Xinyu had learned it from Tan Liuer, and she was ruthless enough to do it without saying a word.
Ge Kailin knew the prescription for regulating the body, and the method of decoction was very clear, but she couldn't distinguish the herbs.
Xu Xin Yuji's prescriptions are not as good as Ge Kailin's, and the method of decoction is always mixed up, but the herbs are never wrong.
Tan Liuer joked that God has a reason for doing things, or else the two of them could work together.
The two of them each ate a bowl of custard, each carried a few boiled eggs, and went out to collect herbs with baskets on their backs.
The boiled eggs were prepared for the pursuers.

They stayed in the cave for a day and a night.
I wonder if those soldiers froze to death.
The two of them walked back the way they came, but they couldn't find the entrance they came from.
Xu Xinyu was confused: "It's broad daylight, how come it's like a ghost hitting the wall?"
Ge Kailin shook his head: "It's not a ghost trying to beat the wall.
This place is simply a maze.
It's hard to get in.
Once you get in, it's hard to get out."
"How do you know?"
"I've read about it in books, and Brother Xiang also told me about the maze.
If you can't find the eye, you can't break the maze."
"Yes, my brother is a general, so it's normal for him to understand the maze formation.
Alas, it's those few people who are unlucky enough to have to pursue us so closely."
"There's nothing we can do about it now.
Let's find food and herbs first.
It's important to take good care of our bodies.
If our bodies collapse, even if we find the formation, it won't help.
We still can't get out."
The two gave up the entrance where they came from, and focused on finding food and herbs.
There are hundreds of chickens in the trench.
They are more flexible and faster than ordinary domestic chickens and can fly to trees or cliffs at every turn.
There is also a lot of cultivated land, and the corn cobs in the field have not been broken off completely.
In the sweet potato field, small and discarded sweet potatoes can still be dug out.
There are also many small animals, the most common ones are hares.
This trench was really a huge treasure house.
Ge Kailin had all the herbs she needed, and their baskets were quickly filled.
The two returned to the courtyard.
Wu Yinwei has already boiled hot water.
Ge Kailin put down her backpack and said to Wu Yinwei: "Fifth cousin, we got some corn and sweet potatoes.
Let's cook the sweet potatoes first and then grind the cornmeal and mix it into a paste.
You can eat more and your body can withstand it." .
"Xin Yu and I will treat your legs."
Wu Yinwei's leg joints were dislocated.
The leg bones are indented, making it difficult to walk.
Conditioning the body is a long-term task, and it can be carried out as long as herbs are available.
Wu Yinwei looked at her legs.
Shaking his head, he paused and nodded, taking out a few sweet potatoes from the basket to wash.
Ge Kailin took the sweet potato from her hand: "I'll wash it, you just sit down.
If you feel too busy, boil more hot water.
Xinyu and I are afraid of getting cold water.
You should also get less cold water, so that you can Good for conditioning your body.”
Wu Yinwei's hand is also deformed, with bone dislocation and arthritis.
Ge Kailin didn't know how Wu Yinwei had been living in the past few years.
"Yes, look at how dirty we are, please boil more hot water.
Let's all take a good hot bath."

Xu Xinyu agreed, picking out corn cobs from the basket.
Sit there and rub the corn kernels down.
There is a stone mill in the west wing.
The corn has been completely dried, and the corn kernels can be ground directly into cornmeal.
The water well is also in the west wing, so it is convenient for this family to use water.
While washing sweet potatoes, Ge Kailin asked: "Fifth cousin, are you the only one in this family?"
Wu Yinwei shook her head, made a sign of four with her hand, and then pointed at herself, meaning that there were four people including her.
"Did the three of them go out?"
Wu Yinwei nodded.
Ge Kailin asked one question after another, and sometimes Xu Xinyu would interrupt.
The two of them tried to ask in a way that Wu Yinwei could gesture or shake her head and nod to answer.
After the sweet potatoes were cooked and the corn kernels were peeled, the two of them understood the general situation. .
Wu Yinwei was adopted by this family the year of the flood.
She took advantage of the kidnapper and the two maids to pay attention, and after escaping, she went to the county government office to ask for news about Ge Kailin's family.
The government official said that she was looking for someone who had no money, so she took out her pearls as a mortgage, but the pearls were She was beaten to death by the county government officials.
The scars on her body were made at that time, and the bones were broken at that time.
When she woke up, she was already in a mass grave.
It was the stupid son of this family who pulled her out and insisted on taking her home as his wife.
The family's surname was Wei, and the couple had only one son, and they would do whatever the son wanted.
Seeing Wu Yinwei's behavior at that time, she couldn't help it, so the couple just treated it like their son had picked up a toy and threw it away when it was dead.
After arriving here, the old couple didn't care about her.
Wei Baoer kept feeding her and picking medicine to apply on her wounds.
The old couple thought she would die soon, but she survived, just like a tattered doll. , deformed terribly.
There is a family named Wei in this trench.
Every year, the three members of that family leave for a few days, without her every time.
She had tried to go out many times, but the result was the same as Ge Kailin and Xu Xinyu today, wandering around and unable to find the exit, beating the wall in broad daylight.
Wei Baoer told her that this was a maze, and even he couldn't get out without his parents.
She asked Wei Baoer why he wanted to live in a maze.
Wei Baoer said it was for his master.
Who the master was, Wei Baoer couldn't tell.
In the past, when the Wei family left, although they did not take her with them, they did not restrict her freedom, but this time it was different.
This time, the Wei family not only tied her up, but also took away everything she could eat.
Old Mrs.
Wei said that if she was lucky enough to be freed from her bondage, these hundreds of chickens would be enough for her to eat for a while.
If she managed well, she might be able to live to the end of her life, but she would only be able to live here for the rest of her life, unless there were gods.
Come and save her.
"That Wei Bao'er really thinks of you as his wife?"
Ge Kailin asked tactfully.
"Rag doll."
Wu Yinwei made a difficult voice and wrote these three words on the ground with a branch.
Xu Xinyu said for her: "In other words, when he calls you wife, he only treats you as a doll to play with.
He hugs you during the day and cuddles at night.
It's just a cuddle.
There is no real action."
Wu Yinwei nodded.

Wei Baoer was already over ten years old, and his intelligence was only equivalent to that of playing house.
"That's enough to bear," Ge Kailin recalled, "When I was little, I slept with my fifth brother, and he pressed his arms on me while he was sleeping.
I couldn't bear it.
With your body, a teenager and a half-year-old would use you as a pillow. , then it shouldn’t be crushed.”
Wu Yinwei shook her head.
"Why, he loves your rag doll very much and is reluctant to crush it," Ge Kailin guessed.
Wu Yinwei nodded.
Xu Xinyu sighed: "It seems that your life is not bad.
Wei Baoer is mentally retarded, but he retains his innocence."
A few very small boiled sweet potatoes for each person was enough for one meal.
Xu Xinyu and Ge Kailin went to grind corn.
Ge Kailin had never done this kind of work before, and even after grinding for a while, her arms were already sore and her hands were blistered.
"Just rest, I'll do the rest."
Xu Xinyu pulled her aside.
"You're not any better than me.
Let's just follow the old rules and take turns."
Ge Kailin sat down to rest first.
Both of them have been very exhausted these past few days.
The corn they picked up was enough for two days.
After the corn was ground before dark, the two of them were too tired to move.
Wu Yinwei heated up two large buckets of hot water.
She was too thin and her clothes didn't fit Ge Kailin and Xu Xinyu, so she found other clothes for them.
"This is Wei Bao'er's."
Ge Kailin unfolded the robes that she could fit into two robes.
Wu Yinwei shook her head.
"What's your look?
These are clearly worn by women."
Xu Xinyu teased, but her tone was uncertain.
Unexpectedly, Wu Yinwei nodded.
"This is Bao'er's fucking clothes."
Ge Kailin was surprised.
"It's strange.
How tall and big is this person?"
Xu Xinyu asked her: "Where's Bao'er's father?
Is he as tall as that?"
Judging from the way Wu Yinwei was gesticulating, she was half a foot taller than Bao'er's mother.
Ge Kailin thought of Zhou Ruofa and asked Wu Yinwei: "Are you as tall as our eldest cousin and eldest cousin-in-law?"
Wu Yinwei gestured and was more than half a foot taller than Zhou Ruofa and his wife.
"Giant."
Ge Kailin and Xu Xinyu said in unison.
Wu Yinwei was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously.
Asked him again about Wei Bao'er's height, her gestures startled the two of them.
Wei Baoer is already a head taller than his parents and is still growing.
Xu Xinyu suddenly remembered: "That's not right.
I've looked through every place.

Apart from no food, I didn't find any clothes."
Wu Yinwei motioned for Xu Xinyu and Ge Kailin to follow her to her room, lifted the quilt on the bed, and revealed the clothes spread under the quilt, including her own clothes, and some that were obviously much larger than her clothes.
"Bao'er, Bao'er."
Wu Yinwei said with difficulty, pointing to herself.
Ge Kailin guessed: "You mean, they took away all the clothes, and Bao'er hid some clothes under the quilt for you."
Wu Yinwei nodded vigorously, tears streaming down her face.
The family leaves once a year, but this time they took away all the food and clothing and tied her up.
At first it was the fear of being abandoned, and then it was despair.
When she was quietly waiting to die, Ge Kailin and Xu Xinyu came to save her again.
But so what, this is a maze that she can't get out of, and she will still die here
