Chapter 772 Sitting up startled at night
A neatly folded set of clothes was handed to Huo Xi.
"For me?" Huo Xi pointed at himself.
The girl nodded at her with a smile. Huo Xi looked at the old lady again, the old woman stretched her hands out in front of her.
Really for her! This is for her to change her wet clothes.
She met a nice family.
Huo Xi bowed to them gratefully, followed the girl behind a curtain, and changed her clothes.
The girl's clothes didn't look too small on Huo Xi's body. The blouse was a little too big. The girl tied her waist with a red and black belt, so it fit her right.
The lower body is black and red striped pants, which were worn by Huo Xi as cropped pants. A thin white calf was exposed.
The girl looked at her thin white legs in a daze. Seeing Huo Xi smiling at her, with a little shyness on her face, she turned around and brought Huo Xi a pair of straw sandals.
The shoes on Huo Xi's feet were wet. After walking all this way, they were covered with grass mud. They had already lost their color. They were wet and heavy, and their feet were probably wrinkled.
Huo Xi took off his shoes, and seeing that the soles of them were almost worn out, he might not be able to wear them anymore. Taking the wet clothes and rags he had changed, he wiped the toes of the shoes, took off the beads and gold and silver pieces from the two toes, and handed them to the girl.
The girl stared at her in a daze, until Huo Xi handed the things in front of her.
After realizing it, he shook his head and waved his hands. Seeing that he couldn't do it, he didn't dare to ask for it, so he turned around and lifted the straw curtain and shouted to the outside world.
"This is what I gave you, and it's all I have. Let's accept it, there is nothing to repay, only these vulgar things."
These vulgar things are also a bit shabby, but Huo Xi's whole body is all there is.
As early as when she was taken away, the gang searched for all the accessories on her body.
It may be that the skirt covered the upper of the shoe, making it difficult for people to check, but she left the things on the shoe to her.
The old woman declined, determined not to.
Yilan felt sorry for what had happened to her for saving this good-looking Han Chinese woman, and never thought of anything in return. Besides, she wanted to leave to look for her relatives, and she was afraid that this was all she had left, so she refused to take it.
Finally, Huo Xi kept half of it and gave the girl the gold and silver pieces and beads from a shoe.
Ye Bran handed it to his grandma, who shook her head, and Ye Bran put it away by himself.
Smiling at Huo Xi, looking at the cloth shoes Huo Xi threw away, with longing on his face. Huo Xi understood the look in her eyes, but he couldn't give the other party his worn-out shoes, he couldn't say that.
Just as he was thinking of making a speech, he saw Ye Bulan picking up the clothes and shoes she had changed and carrying them outside, and then saw her coming in with a wooden basin, squatting in the corner of the cottage to wash her clothes.
Huo Xi was moved and wanted to stop her, but Yilan dragged her to the firepit to warm her hair.
It was really exhausting, and when I met a good family, Huo Xi relaxed half of his body and mind. As soon as a person relaxes, he will feel sleepy, and he will nod his head while roasting his hair.
Yilan dragged her to a bamboo couch, pressed her on the bamboo couch, and made gestures.
Huo Xi nodded and saluted her gratefully. Curled up on the bamboo couch, and quickly fell asleep next to the bamboo pillow.
Yilan sighed in unison as the three of them looked at her.
Yilan saw Huo Xi the moment she was in a state of distress. Seeing her gesturing, she also understood that she must have been kidnapped and trafficked. She felt sorry for her and took her in.
Huo Xi slept very restlessly on the bamboo couch, frowning tightly, and curled up, not relaxing at all. Yilan sighed as she looked at her. This Han woman, with her pretty face and demeanor, could tell that she couldn't be raised by a poor family.
Do evil.
"Grandma?"
"Hush!"
The three grandparents and grandchildren arrived in front of the fire pit and sat down. "Grandma, was she kidnapped?" Alek asked in a low voice.
"Abducted by the tribe?" Seeing Huo Xi like this, Ye Bulan felt the same as a woman, and felt a little sad.
"I haven't heard that any family in the clan wants to buy people from outside," Yilan frowned thinking, "It must have escaped into our mountains from outside and bumped into our house by mistake."
"She is so poor."
Alike was a little sad, more pitiful than the deer he hunted, the fawn couldn't bear to leave, and wailed at him beside the mother deer.
He and Sister, although they lost their father and mother, they still have a grandmother, their family is still there, and the tribe takes care of them. But she may not even go home.
"Grandma, shall we keep her?"
Yilan shook her head, "She doesn't belong here."
"Then shall we send her out of the mountain?" Ye Bran asked.
Yilan thought about it for a moment, "Before the sky turns white tomorrow morning, your siblings will send her out of the mountain."
"Yes." Ye Bran and Alek nodded emphatically. They have been outside, and grandma is unwilling to go out of the mountain. They hunted wild animals, picked wild fruits and fungi, and occasionally took them outside the mountain to exchange for salt.
If they know the way, they will be able to send her out of the mountain!
Yilan glanced in Huo Xi's direction worriedly. Even if she is sent to the mountains, can she still find her relatives and return to her home?
Many bought women in the tribe also often sneaked out of the mountains, and some tribesmen took pity on them and sent them back, but what happened in the end? They can't go back home, they don't want them at home, and they can only come back to this mountain.
Give birth here, grow old in this mountain, and finally bury their bones in this mountain.
Elan let out a long sigh. Seeing his grandson looking over, he said, "Go to sleep, go to bed early, and get up early at night."
Huo Xi didn't sleep soundly. In her dreams, she was always being chased by people. She ran and ran, and her legs were broken, but she was caught and returned. The gang beat her severely with whips. Her skin was torn apart, and she felt pain even in her dream.
Being shaken violently, Huo Xi felt that she didn't want to live anymore, she felt being pushed and pulled, pulling her up... Opening her eyes, the three of them looked terrified and gestured in front of her. Feet, said wah wah wah wah, and pulled her again...
In the stockade, Mu Yan and others are searching.
Following the trajectory that Huo Xi walked all the way, Mu Yan and others have found this village. In the middle of the night, the patriarchs of the Wa Yi (Wa nationality) were all alarmed and came out in their clothes.
Mu Yan showed his seal and waited for the introduction by the officer next to him, and the patriarch of the Wa Yi immediately knelt down.
Even though their clan has lived in the mountains for generations and has no communication with the outside world, but as the patriarch of his clan, he is unknown to others, but he still knows about the Mu Mansion in charge of the entire Yunnan.
After giving a big gift, he hurriedly got up again and led the search of Mu Yan's family.
In the village, chickens are flying and dogs are jumping, children are crying, and torches are lit... At this time, Huo Xi has been pushed from the back of the village into the forest by Ye Bulan and his brother.
