Rebirth Nunnery

Chapter 8
When Ding Jiayi woke up, he found himself lying in a dim room, with faint sunlight coming in from the window, forming a mosaic on the ground.

Ding Jiayi subconsciously sat up and looked around.

She was lying on a hardwood bed, covered with a thin quilt that was filled with patches, and beside the bed was a wooden bowl filled with black concoction that was still steaming.

At this moment, a woman came in from the door, and seeing Ding Jiayi wake up, her face suddenly showed joy.

"Big sister finally woke up, you've been sleeping all day and all night."

The woman stepped forward quickly and touched Ding Jiayi's forehead, feeling that it was no longer hot, then picked up the bowl of medicine and handed it to Ding Jiayi.

"When my old man brought you back, you were terribly hot. Fortunately, the fever has subsided now, so drink up the medicine quickly."

Ding Jiayi nodded, with a shy smile on his face: "Thank you, big sister."

The woman looked to be in her 40s, with big arms and a round waist, and a red face. She looked like a peasant woman.

Ding Jiayi finished drinking the medicine obediently without frowning, which made the woman even more happy.

"Big sister, take a good rest first, I'll go cook a chicken."

"Elder sister doesn't need to be busy." Ding Jiayi hurriedly stopped her, but the eldest sister was so enthusiastic that Ding Jiayi felt a little embarrassed.

Feeling groggy after drinking the medicine, Ding Jiayi leaned against the bed and began to think about the next thing.

Fortunately, she didn't change her clothes, and the things that Lie Yu stuffed her were all hidden in front of her chest.

Ding Jiayi carefully took out the small package from her bosom, opened it, and inside lay quietly a pair of golden hairpin rings, two gold bracelets, some broken silver and a few silver tickets, and at the bottom was the Way guide.

It's just the most important thing, Ding Jiayi thought about it, took it out by itself, carefully folded it into the smallest size, and stuffed it into the undershirt.

As for the rest, Ding Jiayi thought about it, took out the smallest piece of silver, and decided to give it to the eldest sister later, as a repayment for their saving grace.

It's not that she's stingy, it's just that there are farmers and hunters in this mountain, and they are not doing well at first sight. If they give out a lot, it's hard to guarantee that no one will be greedy for money.

Although he was saved, Ding Jiayi was still very cautious.

On the other side, when the woman walked out of the room, she happened to see her man and son talking with their heads down.

"The girl is awake, Daniel, hurry up and kill a chicken."

"Mother, little brother just came back..." the rough man named Daniu said with some hesitation.

The woman snorted coldly when she heard the words, and her friendly face suddenly sank in front of Ding Jiayi: "What is that prodigal son coming back for? What is it you want to do badly again?"

Daniu glanced at his father, and couldn't help but said: "My little brother's life in the county is better than ours..."

"So what if you live a good life? Who will marry their daughter to him when he works in the kiln? If you are good, you will learn as much as you can, and you will be bad! You don't want to follow him, we are honest and responsible people..." The woman chattered for a long time, seeing Daniel's impatient look, she held back her sigh, and suddenly said in a low voice, "The girl you rescued looks very pretty to me. Da Niu, you are my daughter-in-law."

Daniu couldn't help showing joy when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked the woman.

Ding Jiayi didn't know that the Orion family who had saved her had such thoughts in her heart, she still felt a little tired, so she lay down and slept for a while.

After waking up again, it was already dark, the woman eagerly brought a bowl of chicken soup, and sat on the side chatting with her casually.

Ding Jiayi changed her previous experience, only saying that she was married, but her husband passed away half a year ago, and her mother-in-law couldn't tolerate her at home, so she ran out by herself.

The woman couldn't help being a little disappointed when she heard this.

Married before, but still a widow whose husband died, this is quite different from the image of her daughter-in-law in her heart.

Ding Jiayi obviously felt that the woman's enthusiasm had faded a lot, but she didn't care. She didn't plan to stay here for too long, so she took out the small piece of silver from her bosom.

"Elder Sister, your family saved me and let me live here. I feel very sorry... I brought a little money with me before I left the house. I spent almost all of it, and all that is left..."

Ding Jiayi pretended to be reluctant, but still stuffed the money into the woman's hand.

When the woman saw the silver, her eyes lit up immediately.

These poor people in their world usually use copper coins, and silver is not something that the casual poor can afford.

Ding Jiayi didn't know this, otherwise, she definitely wouldn't have given it to her as a thank you gift.

The woman's cold heart became hot again.

This is silver!She only had a piece the size of a fingernail when her youngest son came back to please her last time.

Seeing this, Ding Jiayi said again: "Sister, where is the nearest county to here? I want to leave early tomorrow morning, so as not to disturb you."

The woman came back to her senses immediately, and asked with some uncertainty: "Big sister is leaving now?"

Ding Jiayi nodded, staying here, who knows if people from Qinglian Nunnery or the Mo family will find out?She didn't want to take the risk.

The woman hastily tried to persuade her, but seeing Ding Jiayi's look of making up her mind, she had no choice but to shut up embarrassingly.

Although she failed to leave her son as a daughter-in-law, she still got money anyway, and the woman didn't feel too disappointed.

"In this case, my youngest son happens to be working in the county, why don't you let him send you away tomorrow!"

Ding Jiayi did not refuse the woman's suggestion.

She is not familiar with the place here, even if someone tells her how to get there, she doesn't know the way, and it is best to have someone lead the way.

Ding Jiayi then drank another bowl of chicken soup, ate half a chicken, drank medicine, and fell asleep again after a short rest.

Ding Jiayi woke up early the next morning and tidied herself up.

She lost her shoes, so the woman found her own pair of shoes for Ding Jiayi to put on. As for the clothes, although there were some tears, they were not too exaggerated.

As soon as Ding Jiayi walked out of the room, she saw the youngest son in the woman's mouth.

The youngest son, Er Niu, doesn't look like the woman or Da Niu, he is long and thin, his eyes are always rolling around, he doesn't look like an honest person.

Ding Jiayi frowned slightly, but there was no other way.

As soon as the two cows saw Ding Jiayi, a gleam of light flashed in their eyes. Originally, they were impatient with the old lady's suggestion, but they suddenly became attentive.

Afterwards, the woman and her family sent off all the way, and Ding Jiayi followed the two cows on the road.

Along the way, the Er Niu kept inquiring about Ding Jiayi's situation. Ding Jiayi was vigilant and didn't want to say more, but just responded to him casually.

The county is not far from the foot of the mountain. Ding Jiayi followed Er Niu for about half a day, and arrived outside the county at noon.

"Did the lady come to this county to seek refuge with relatives?"

Er Niu asked tentatively, his eyes flickering.

Ding Jiayi shook his head and said, "I want to come here to see if I can find a job."

Naturally, Ding Jiayi would not say what was in his heart, and just found a seemingly reasonable excuse.

What she didn't notice was that when she heard her words, a gleam flashed in the eyes of the two bulls.

"Since the lady has no acquaintance here, and has nowhere to go, why not come with me? Brother, I work in a restaurant, and the salary is good, including food and lodging, and at least three or four dollars a month. ,"

Ding Jiayi has no concept of money, and it is hard to refuse when the other party is so enthusiastic.

The Er Niu persuaded him a few more words, repeatedly reassuring him, which sounded very sincere.

Ding Jiayi thought, if the Mo family found this place, it would be easy for him to find out if he stayed in the inn. To avoid attracting attention, this is also an idea.

Thinking of this, Ding Jiayi nodded in agreement.

The Erniu secretly rejoiced in their hearts, and then brought Ding Jiayi into the county.

This Fengdou County is not small in the vicinity, the county lord is quite talented and shrewd, and the county is very prosperous.

It was the first time for Ding Jiayi to really see the ancient streets. Looking at the hawkers and small shops around, he put aside his worries about being chased for the time being, and his eyes sparkled with interest.

As he walked, Ding Jiayi suddenly found that the yelling around him had decreased, but the number of pedestrians remained unabated.

The two cows suddenly stopped in front of a tall building, turned their heads suddenly, showed their true nature, and looked at Ding Jiayi with malicious intentions.

Ding Jiayi was taken aback, and immediately realized that something was wrong, before the two cows could speak, she hurriedly turned around and wanted to run away.

But at this moment, five or six men suddenly rushed out from the side and surrounded her in an instant.
