Snails Village is a place with very strange terrain. The whole village resembles the shell of a snail, which rotates into a circle from the outside and gradually becomes smaller to the middle. It is also a place that is almost isolated from the outside world, with a population of less than a hundred people in the village.
However, the village is backed by the mountains, and the front is by the water. Every 15th day of the first day in the village, someone will drive an ox cart to the nearest town to sell and purchase things. The villagers either take the ox cart to the town, or ask the driver to help buy and sell things.
There is a family in the village, and now only two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law depend on each other. That little daughter-in-law was eighteen years old, with a graceful posture and picturesque eyebrows.
"Mother, I'm going out to collect herbs. The day after tomorrow, I just asked Big Niu to go to the town to help us sell it and buy some rice back."
"It's so dark, I always feel like it's going to rain, otherwise don't go today, and tomorrow will come with you." A woman came out of the room with thick eyebrows and big eyes. She looked a little tired, but she looked worried. .
"It's okay, I'll just come back soon." The little daughter-in-law shook her head, "Mother, rest at home. Your legs hurt when it rains. I'll go by myself. There's not much rice at home."
"Then you can come back soon, and it's okay to collect less." The mother-in-law instructed.
"Yeah." The little daughter-in-law nodded, then walked out quickly with the basket on her back.
Going out, the little daughter-in-law lowered her head and tried to go to places with few people, not wanting to meet people in the village, let alone say hello to them. She didn't like the way people in the village looked at her.
Going up the mountain, the little daughter-in-law looked down and started looking for herbs. Xu Shi was lucky today and found a lot. Before she knew it, the little daughter-in-law went deep into the mountains. When she regained her senses, she realized that she had walked much further than usual.
Looking at the increasingly gloomy sky, the little daughter-in-law hurriedly turned around and walked back.
However, at this moment, there was a thunderstorm in the sky, followed by a torrential downpour.
The little daughter-in-law hurriedly looked for a place to hide from the rain, but her vision was getting worse and worse. There was a steep slope below.
The little daughter-in-law screamed, but the first thought that flashed through her mind was that if she didn't go back in time, her mother would be worried to death.
After the little daughter-in-law stood firm, she was surprised to find that she was unscathed, not even a scratch, when she rolled down the steep slope. The heavy rain was still falling, drenching her all over. It was dark in front of me, and I didn't know where it came from.
The little daughter-in-law looked up, looked at the steep slope, and gave up her plan to climb up. It seems that the only way to return is to find another way. Wiping the rain dripping down her face, the little daughter-in-law walked forward with difficulty.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and the little daughter-in-law is also a little flustered. Because she couldn't tell where she was at the moment, in other words, she was lost.
In such a wilderness, it is troublesome to get lost.
When the little daughter-in-law was in a panic, she suddenly saw a light appearing in front of her.
In the wind and rain, that lamp is so bright and warm.
The little daughter-in-law subconsciously walked in the direction of the lamp.
When she got closer, she found that the lamp was hanging high on a tall building.
Her husband had taught her to read before, and she recognized the sign hanging in the tall building in front of her.
Everything is there.
