Chapter 48 (1/2)

Chuoshui village is a place with peculiar terrain. The whole village is similar to the shell of a snail. It turns into a circle from the outside and gradually becomes smaller to the middle. It is also a place almost isolated from the world, with a population of only a hundred.

However, the village is close to the mountains and the water in front of it. On the 15th day of the first day of every day in the village, someone drives an ox cart to the nearest town to sell and buy things. The villagers either take the ox cart to the town or ask the driver to help them buy and sell things.

There is a family in the village. Now there are only two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The little daughter-in-law was eighteen years old, graceful and picturesque. She didn't look like a gorgeous woman who could be raised in such a small village.

”Niang, I went out to collect herbs. The day after tomorrow, I asked Daniel to go to the town to help us sell and buy some rice.” The little daughter-in-law, carrying a basket on her back, yelled into the room before going out.

”It's so dark. I always feel it's going to rain. Don't go today. My mother will go with you tomorrow.” A woman came out of the room with a coarse eyebrow and big eyes. She looked tired but worried.

”It's OK. I'll be back soon.” The little daughter-in-law shook her head, ”mother, you rest at home. When it rains, your legs hurt. I'll go myself. I don't have much rice at home

”Then you can come back quickly and pick less.” My mother-in-law asked.

”Well.” The little daughter-in-law nodded, and then walked out with a basket on her back.

Out of the door, the little daughter-in-law bowed her head and tried to go where there were few people. She didn't want to meet the people in the village or even say hello to them. She didn't like the way people in the village looked at her.

Up the mountain, the little daughter-in-law bowed her head and began to look for herbs. Xu Shi was very lucky today. He found a lot of them. Before he knew it, his daughter-in-law went deep into the mountains. When she recovered, she found that she had gone a lot farther than usual.

Looking at the more and more gloomy sky, the little daughter-in-law quickly turned around and went back.

At this time, however, there was a thunder in the sky and a torrential rain.

The little daughter-in-law rushed to find shelter from the rain, but her sight was getting worse and worse. If she didn't pay attention, she slipped and fell down. It was a steep slope.
