In the cold twelfth lunar month, the sky was rustling with snowflakes falling.
In the snow-capped mountains lies a summer resort for wealthy families.
The manor, which should have been deserted in winter, is now unusually crowded.
Aunt Li tucked her hands into the sleeves of her padded coat and trotted all the way into the kitchen with her neck shrunk.
"I got up. I've been cheating and slipping all day. I'll need water for a while, so hurry up."
A unkempt figure sat up on the pile of firewood.
This man's eyes were sluggish, two buns were randomly combed on the top of his head, and several straws were strewn about it. His tanned face had two thick red scabs like many hunters in the north. Sloppy and sloppy can't see the original face.
She flipped down from the haystack, lifted the lids of the two back pots on the stove without saying a word, and filled two large wooden barrels half a person high.
Picking up one shoulder, he walked through the snowy courtyard and followed the veranda toward the east wing.
She is thin in stature, but she walks fast and steadily, and the weight of two large buckets of water seems insignificant to her.
A handsome young servant greeted him in the east wing. The servant nodded at her: "Ajuan, you can bring the general in." The maid put down the pole, held a bucket in one hand, raised her arms, and walked lightly into the room.
"This girl has a lot of strength, but it's a pity that her brain is stupid."
The ear room is connected to the wing room, which is the place for the owner to bathe and change clothes. In the center of the room is a carved bath tub, pancreas, towel screens, etc., smoked with curling cigarettes, and everything is exquisite.
Du Juan put down the bucket, and a pair of bright eyes in the messy bangs looked around. If someone was in the room at this moment, they would be surprised at how this silly girl could have such a graceful demeanor as she usually does.
As everyone knows, three months ago, Zhou Xiaoxiao, a young woman in the 21st century, wore her soul to this point. Du Juan, who had been demented for more than ten years, seemed to be enlightened, and the dull time of the past sixteen years was suddenly enlightened.
The two souls merged into one, and Zhou Xiaoxiao, who merged the memories of the two, often felt confused, not knowing whether Xiaoxiao had crossed over to Du Juan, or Du Juan had awakened Xiaoxiao's memory.
It took three months to get used to it.
Zhou Xiaoxiao poured hot water into the tub, while listening to the whipping and scolding from the next door. I was stunned secretly in my heart, thinking that these ancients are really perverted, and when I find a good time, I will secretly leave this place and find another way to live.
At this moment, the previous servant entered and said impatiently: "But he was so dawdled, he quickly poured the boiling water into the tub, and the uncle was sweating, and he will take a bath later. Eat a good meal."
As he said that, he instructed Zhou Xiaoxiao to move the water tank on one side, and poured cold water into it to adjust the water temperature.
Zhou Xiaoxiao just lowered her eyebrows, acted like a fool, and acted according to his instructions.
While busy, the wooden door connecting the wing room was pushed open with a bang.
A burly man with a naked upper body dragged a man with scars all over his body and strode in. The person who came was Lin Bingren, the eldest son of the Lin Mansion. He threw the man with whip marks on the ground and grabbed his hair again.
The man was forced to raise his face. Although he was in such an embarrassed situation, he could still see the blue eyebrows and jade cheeks. He was a handsome young man.
Zhou Xiaoxiao pretended to be stupid and walked out of the house slowly. As soon as the door was closed, he caught sight of Lin Bingren pressing the man's head and face into the water tank with all his might, while scolding: "If you don't agree again, don't blame me for handing you over to my second brother Bingzhi, your looks are just right. His appetite will be called Tian Tian not at that time, and the ground will not work well, even a man can't do it, he can only use it as a woman, but don't regret it!"
Zhou Xiaoxiao closed the door and walked back to the kitchen with a low brow and pleasing eyes. Lying on the pile of firewood, scolding inwardly, they are really beasts, three fathers and sons, and two perverted brothers. Such a young handsome guy fell into the hands of the two of them, I am afraid that he will not have a good life in a few days.
The Lin clan here is a big family, and there are many nobles in the clan.
Among them, Lin Yuanmao, the master of this other courtyard, is the senior scholar of Wuyingdian and the young master of the prince. He is very powerful in the court. The vast mansion in Linqiong City at the foot of the mountain is the old mansion of Lin Mansion. The courtyard is useless.
It is not like other courtyards of dignitaries and dignitaries, which are used for summer entertainment. Zhou Dujuan, who has lived here for a long time, knows that the courtyards of Lin Mansion are always used for some private activities.
For example, Lin Bingren, the eldest son of Lin Yuanmao, is torturing a prisoner who has been secretly detained here for more than ten days in the next wing.
Zhou Xiaoxiao, born in a modern society with a stable legal system, came to the backward and barbaric ancient environment, and naturally disliked this kind of careless life.
This Lin Yuan is an official in the court, and the eldest son Lin Bingren seems to be dignified and dignified, but in fact he is sinister and vicious, and he has done many sinister things for his father in secret.
The second son, Lin Bingzhi, who lives in the neighboring Qiongcheng, is a playboy with a tendency to cut sleeves. This person is extravagant and promiscuous | abuse, relying on the power of the family, bullying men and women all day long and harming the village.
Zhou Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh at the thought of all the abuse that the young man was going to suffer.
However, at this time, it was still difficult for him to gain a foothold, and he was unable to worry about the life and death of an ancient man.
Zhou Xiaoxiao died unexpectedly in a previous life. Disappointed with human nature, conscious that his heart is dead and his blood is cold. Being cynical, I only want to be a cold-hearted person in this life.
Therefore, after sighing a few words, she told herself to keep her own business aside, put the matter aside, and began to deduce her own escape plan. Naturally, she did not want to pretend to be crazy and sell stupid in such a sinister family for the rest of her life. Slowly planning to escape from here long ago.
The two servants dragged a comatose person over, the one who had just been tortured.
This man was covered in stains and wounds. He was dragged on the snow in front of the back kitchen, motionless, and he was washed with cold water by two puppies.
Seeing that he didn't say a word, the boy kicked him and muttered, "Won't he die?"
"It doesn't matter if he's dead. It doesn't matter if he's dead. Are there still few people who walk under the uncle's hands?" Another person replied.
"It's really cold in this mountain, don't care, you and my brother will go get some hot wine first, and enjoy it."
"Du Juan, wash this fellow, go into the house and watch, the brothers will come in a little while."
"It's freezing cold, and Zhuang Li is guarding so many people. What are they doing, and they're afraid of running away? Hurry up and go."
The two left while talking. Zhou Xiaoxiao jumped off the haystack and turned the person on the snow over.
The snow and ice swept away, revealing a face as bright as the bright moon, like the moon god of Quanxian.
Everyone has a love for beauty, and the sick and weak are even more pitiful, and Zhou Xiaoxiao is no exception.
Seeing his pale face and frowning eyebrows, Zhou Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, and his movements were much gentler.
With amazing arm strength, she gently picked up the person and placed it in a warm place near the stove.
Call warm water and carefully wipe away the blood all over your body. It's just that he was covered in bruises and bruises, leaving nowhere to go. Zhou Xiaoxiao tried her best to clean up.
He saw his wrists were tied with hemp ropes, and they were bruised and swollen. Then he gently untied the rope and took off the blood-soaked hemp rope, revealing a pair of horrific wrists.
Zhou Xiaoxiao drenched a hot towel and carefully placed it on her wrist.
Suddenly hearing a deep guttural sound, she raised her head and bumped into a pair of eyes that were slowly opening. Those eyes were like the heart of a river soaking in the moon, and they glared at her like this.
She was swept away by this gaze, and suddenly felt that her heart skipped two beats.
Oops, this looks is too high.
Zhou Xiaoxiao knew that he was a face control.
Busy in my heart, I recited it silently several times: Don’t be fooled by beauty, and don’t be fooled by beauty.
Remind yourself that this is the ancient times when the legal consciousness is indifferent, don't lose your life for irrelevant people inexplicably.
Only then did he clean up his cold heart.
He imitated the way people spoke when he said, "I'm just letting you relax a bit, and I'll tie it up for a while, don't give birth to the idea of running away, this yard is guarded like an iron barrel, and there are thousands of miles of snow forest outside, and it's hard to fly even with wings attached. Don't be unable to run by yourself in the end, you won't have to tire me out and boil water, girl." The man didn't answer, his eyes turned around, he frowned and closed his eyes.
Zhou Xiaoxiao saw that there was no change in him, thinking that even if he wanted to run in this state, he could not be his opponent, so he felt relieved.
In the kitchen, I found a piece of ginger that was smashed, and turned over the cabinet to find a piece of brown sugar, and boiled a bowl of thick brown sugar ginger water together.
Serve it in a hot bowl and help the man up: "Come on. Dispel the cold and invigorate qi. Before anyone sees it. Drink now."
Feed him and drink slowly. After the man finished drinking, he sighed and glanced at Zhou Xiaoxiao without saying a word.
Zhou Xiaoxiao ignored him, took an ice-cold handkerchief, put on a hot towel, and applied alternating hot and cold on the man's wrist to activate blood and remove blood stasis for him.
While busy, I suddenly heard a low voice: "Thank you."
Although her voice was extremely low and soft, Zhou Xiaoxiao was sure that she heard it. Her face was not showing any expression, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "These ancient people are just different. In this case, you can still remember to be polite."
It is estimated that the guards are coming back soon. Zhou Xiaoxiao picked up the hemp rope again and tied it back as it was.
These hands are tied like this again, and the blood will not flow, I am afraid that it will be abolished.
Thinking like this, Zhou Xiaoxiao couldn't help loosening the hemp rope, just about tying it up.
She filled the stove with wood and left the man lying beside the warm stove. Lying back on the pile of firewood in the corner, he said, "Seek yourself for more happiness, this is the only thing I can do."
Not long after, someone came to take this person away.
Zhou Xiaoxiao was lying on the haystack in the corner with a straw in her mouth, her legs crossed, and sleeping with her eyes closed. While scolding the dark old society in my heart, I silently begged various gods and Buddhas to put myself back into the beautiful era of the new century.
The father of Zhou Xiaoxiao's body was originally a nursing home surnamed Zhou Zhou in Lin's house, and he had a daughter named Du Juan in his later years. Who would have thought that this woman was mentally incompetent, stupid and stupid, but one of the peculiar things was that she was born with divine power.
Old Zhou’s wife died early, and he was bored in his later years. He took pleasure in teaching his daughter to practice martial arts. Although Du Juan is stupid, he has a special talent for martial arts. Although he can’t learn profound and mysterious things, he is very handy in going through forests and off-roading, hunting and collecting treasures. .
Zhou Lao only taught her some superficial moves, and often took her hunting in the forest to comfort her loneliness in her old age.
After Zhou Lao passed away, the host family still allows her to do some superficial work in other courtyards, and she also runs around the mountains in her spare time. She can always catch some game and rare birds back, which is amazing .
Rhododendron has been in this forest since childhood and is very familiar with this snow-capped mountain.
Previously, she found a cave on the mountain by chance. The entrance was small and hidden, and there was nothing in the cave. No one knows about this cave.
After Zhou Xiaoxiao crossed over, she merged Du Juan's memory. There are no arrangements for this cave.
She smuggled a small amount of grain and rice from the kitchen many times and hid it here, because Dujuan is a fool who usually goes unnoticed, but she was never found, and accumulated a lot of materials in the cave over time.
Zhou Xiaoxiao was lying on the haystack, calculating silently in her heart. In the past three months, she has also learned and imitated the living habits of the locals for a few months. It seems that the ants have moved a house and accumulated a lot of food and some daily necessities in the hole.
Since she came, she has deliberately hunted down a lot of rare beasts.
Most of the valuables are hidden in the caves, peeled and dried, or simply tanned. Now there are many deer antlers, mink skins, and even tiger skins and tiger bones in the caves. Just pick up a little and bring it back to the villa.
Now I just need to be patient until the evil young man Lin Bingren leaves. Usually, if the owner of this villa leaves, a few servants will be left behind.
At that time, I will choose an opportunity to go into the mountain alone, and I will hide in this hole and never come out.
The villagers couldn't find her, so she should have died unexpectedly in the mountains, but she was a foolish orphan girl, no one would care.
After hiding for a few days, he came out of the cave, disguised himself as a hunter in the mountains, went to the village at the foot of the mountain to sell the fur and prey, exchanged some money, and entered the hinterland of the Central Plains through Qiongcheng to make a living.
Get out of this filthy place and live a life where ordinary people are at ease.
