Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 304: Eighteen Bends on the Mountain Road (9)

"By the way, didn't you say you would give me a shoulder massage? Why don't you come over?"

As she was speaking, Old Mrs. Dong lifted the quilt on her bed, sat down on it, squinted her eyes, and looked like she was waiting to enjoy herself.

Jiang Qiuchen curled his lips in a corner where she couldn't see him. Although he was unhappy in his heart, he still had to go forward attentively in order to confuse her.

"Okay, mother-in-law, I'll help you right away."

Jiang Qiuchen's hands deftly wandered over Old Mrs. Dong's shoulders, sometimes pressing hard, sometimes kneading gently.

Her movements were both professional and gentle, and she controlled the strength just right, which relieved a lot of the pain in Mrs. Dong's shoulders and neck.

As Jiang Qiuchen massaged her, Mrs. Dong's frown gradually relaxed, her breathing became more even and deep, and she looked drowsy.

After a short nap, she came to her senses and yawned sleepily.

"Okay, it's getting late now, so make your own arrangements for bed."

After saying that, he turned around and fell down, falling into a deep sleep.

Jiang Qiuchen shook his sore wrist, looked at Old Lady Dong expressionlessly, turned back into the darkness, and fumbled to make his bed.

Although they were close, the resentment from the original owner suddenly emerged.

If possible, she really wanted to get rid of this vicious old woman right now and be done with it.

It’s a pity that it’s not the right time yet. The village is so small. If Old Mrs. Dong is killed, she will be the first one to escape.

The more isolated the place, the more united the people are. There was no need for her to let her momentary anger affect her subsequent escape plan.

As night falls, everything is silent and darkness silently covers the whole world like a thick velvet cloth.

In this boundless darkness, a ray of bright and cold moonlight, as if it was the tenderness that God inadvertently sprinkled on the world, penetrated the sparse clouds and the eaves covered with spider webs, and quietly shone into the dilapidated house.

The light in the room was dim and mottled, the moonlight dancing with the dust floating in the air, and the surrounding walls were slightly yellowed due to moisture, with water stains showing.

In the dark corner of the room, there was a subtle but heart-wrenching sound. An unknown small animal was moving secretly under the cover of darkness.

After a tiring day, Mrs. Dong has now fallen into a deep sleep, and her light snoring is particularly clear in the quiet night.

Jiang Qiuchen lay quietly on the cold ground, wrapping himself tightly in an old, yellowed quilt.

The edges of the quilt were worn out, revealing the cotton wool inside. I wonder how long it had been used repeatedly.

Jiang Qiuchen had no room for criticism. To her, this was the only source of warmth.

It was already very late, but she still didn't feel sleepy at all. Her mind was in a mess and she was thinking about what to do next.

Can she do it? Escape from this hellhole in a month?

Jiang Qiuchen curled up like a wounded kitten, trying his best to minimize his presence to resist the cold and loneliness around him.

The soft moonlight poured down beside her, illuminating her scattered hair. Beneath her tightly closed eyes, there was a hint of sadness and endless fatigue.

Her long eyelashes cast a light shadow on her cheeks, and her breathing was trembling imperceptibly.

After a period of free movement, her originally stiff wrist regained sensation. Although it was a little painful when turning it, it was still bearable.

Taking advantage of the time when no one was watching, Jiang Qiuchen fumbled around and checked his body.

Because the original owner had been performing acrobatics in a juggling class for a long time, her body, although thin, was not lacking in strength.

There are muscles hidden under her slender arms. As long as her nutrition can be improved, her strength can be increased. Moreover, most of these acrobatics are high-altitude technical performances, which have high requirements for the flexibility and body coordination of the actors.

It can be said that now it is not a big problem for her to climb a tree or go up high.

There are mountains and trees all around, maybe this little skill of mine can come in handy when escaping.

However, running into the mountains is not a good idea. The situation in the mountains is complicated and contains many dangers that are difficult to detect with the naked eye.

She no longer possesses the extraordinary abilities she had in other worlds.

We are all mortals, and if we are not careful, it can really cost someone's life.

Unless you are forced into a desperate situation, you must never go into the mountains.

She had to use this time to build up her physical strength, expand her range of activities, and go to the village to get some information.

Find out how this place is connected to the outside world. Since they have a way to do this kind of business with people like Zhang San, it is naturally not completely isolated.

No matter how remote the place is, there are always people walking out. The mountain road is winding and you can't get out by walking.

……

Amidst these chaotic thoughts, Jiang Qiuchen slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, before daybreak, the chickens in the pen in the yard began to crow.

It stood under the old tree with its head held high, its feathers shining like metallic in the morning light. It suddenly opened its beak and let out a loud and long cry.

Jiang Qiuchen subconsciously felt a little irritated, turned over and wanted to continue sleeping, but before a few seconds had passed, the quilt on his body was pulled away.

"Hurry up, there's a lot of work to do today."

Old Mrs. Dong urged him on without any hesitation, not even giving him a second to buffer.

For fear of upsetting her, Jiang Qiuchen did not dare to complain and just yawned and got up.

Old Mrs. Dong casually threw over one of her old clothes and motioned for Jiang Qiuchen to change into it.

"I don't have any fashionable clothes from the city, so it's good enough to have a piece of cloth to wrap you up."

"When you come back from the field, you will wash the clothes you change into. Got it?"

Jiang Qiuchen lowered his eyes to glance at the flowered shirt in his hand and said "OK" obediently.

Having had a good rest last night, Mrs. Dong was in a good mood early in the morning. She didn't say much to Jiang Qiuchen and went to the kitchen to make breakfast for Dong Dajun.

……

"time to eat!"

When Old Mrs. Dong was calling for help, Jiang Qiuchen was observing the surrounding environment. When he heard the noise, he quickly walked into the kitchen.

Each person had a bowl of semi-dry porridge with a few pieces of sweet potatoes in it, a bowl of steamed potatoes in the middle, and a little salt sprinkled on it. There was nothing else.

If there was any difference, it was that Old Mrs. Dong turned back and put a fried egg in Dong Dajun's bowl.

Jiang Qiuchen glanced at the egg in Dong Dajun's bowl with some envy, swallowed, and then looked away unnoticeably.

Jiang Qiuchen hadn't had a full meal in the past few days, so now he had no time to complain about anything.

After sitting down, he started eating potatoes without saying a word.
