  Chapter 9 The Way Out

  Huo Xi had a dream again, this time she dreamed that she couldn't run anymore, was chased and taken back, locked in a small dark room, and didn't drink rice for a few days. In just a few days, I was so hungry that I collapsed.

   Then, she died.

  In the hall above Zhuangzi, there are three coffins, large and small, one for the mother, one for her, and one for the younger brother.

   She shed tears all night in her dream. My voice is hoarse from crying.

   "Why is it so hot? I still can't wake up! Xi'er, Xi'er!"

  Early in the morning, Mrs. Yang got up, cooked the porridge early, set out the breakfast food, the whole family got up, even the fishing boats docked around were rowed away, and Xi'er hadn't woken up yet.

   Scared the whole family.

   "Where did you take Xi'er yesterday? Why is Xi'er talking nonsense all night, and she's still on fire today!" Yang was so anxious that she slapped Yang Fu hard.

  Yang Fu's eyes were flushed, looking at Huo Xi who couldn't wake up, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

   Wiping away tears: "We just went to the tea shop to drink tea and listen to others."

   "I must have been terrified after hearing the bad news. At the beginning, Xi'er said that she came to the capital to seek refuge with her relatives, and the relatives were unkind and wanted to sell them, so she escaped. She must have been frightened."

  Huo Erhuai frowned, he should have been with them yesterday.

   "Then what should I do?" Yang rubbed her hands anxiously.

   "We won't go fishing today, we'll send Xi'er to see a doctor now. If the outer city doesn't look good, we'll go to the inner city."

"good."

  The family was in a hurry, rowing a boat and went to the city to find a medical clinic.

  Huo Xi was carried into the city by Huo Erhuai, saw a doctor, was given medicinal soup, and was carried back. Yang changed her clothes and scrubbed her, but she didn't respond.

  Unexamined.

   She didn't open her eyes until the sun was setting and the Qinhuai River was full of the golden glow of the setting sun.

   "Xi'er, Xi'er, are you awake?" Yang Fu was overjoyed, and raised his voice, "Sister, brother-in-law, Xi'er is awake!"

   "Xi'er is awake?"

  The boat swayed from side to side, Yang Shi hugged Huo Nian, and Huo Erhuai got into the cabin from the bow and stern respectively.

   "Great, Xi'er, you finally woke up! You scared me and your father." Yang stroked her face distressedly, almost crying.

  Although the days are not long, I really like this child. Treat her as your own little padded jacket.

  Huo Erhuai watched happily, didn't know what to say, and sat beside him rubbing his hands with joy.

   "Nian'er, sister is awake, take a look."

Yang Shi leaned over holding Nian'er, Nian'er was babbling, Yang Shi pressed his little face to Huo Xi's, Huo Nian hugged her sister's face while hugging Huo Xi's with a small hand the other side of the face.

  Huo Xi suddenly burst into tears.

   "What's the matter, don't cry, don't cry, tell your parents if you feel uncomfortable!"

   Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai moved their buttocks, sat a little closer, and asked anxiously.

  Huo Xi blinked twice, looked at Huo Erhuai: "Father, our boat is broken."

   "Huh? Where?"

   "On top."

  Huo Xi was lying in the cabin, with a small hole on the top, and the afterglow of the setting sun came in through the hole.

   "Oh, it's really broken." Yang Shi, Huo Erhuai and Yang Fu followed her gaze, and there really was a hole on the top.

   "Don't be afraid, Dad will make it up right away, and Xi'er won't get caught in the rain."

  Huo Xi tilted his head and smiled at him.

  Huo Erhuai patted her head, and hurriedly got out of the cabin to find something to fill the hole.

  Yang Shi sat beside her with Huo Nian in his arms, and Yang Fu was on the left and right, and greeted her with care. The haze in Huo Xi's heart suddenly dissipated.

  Huo Xi lay on the boat for two days, drinking medicinal soup three times a day, and he recovered from his illness.

  During the past two days, Yang Shi and Yang Fu were all around her, and Huo Erhuai did not go fishing farther away, fearing that the heavy moisture would make her condition worse. I just wandered in the inland river, but naturally I didn't catch any catches, and the small fish and shrimps couldn't be sold at a high price, so I just kept them and dried them at home.

  Huo Xi lay in bed for two days, thinking of his own way out.

  She was born through birth, and she has no memory of her previous life. It was not until she witnessed her mother being poisoned that day that some memories of her previous life were aroused.

  She originally thought that a new dynasty would be established, and her father, who was guarding the border in the north, would always return to the capital. When the time comes, she will hold her younger brother to find him.

  However, now the Wu family has been righted.

  Even if she and her younger brother were taken back and raised in the inner house under Wu's eyes, they would definitely not live long. The mother died, and the grandfather who loved her also died.

  That day, Mrs. Wu grabbed her mother tightly and poured poisoned wine into her mouth. Mrs. Wu wanted her mother to die.

  Even if she and Nian'er survived, if Wu knew about it, they would definitely be wiped out.

   There is still a nanny, I don't know if she is still alive. Still got killed.

  Huo Xi bit her lip tightly, not letting herself cry out. The snot flowed down, and he didn't dare to let go. He just wiped it off with his sleeve and covered his face under the quilt.

  Huo Erhuai heard the movement, and just about to back away, he was held back by Yang, shaking his head at him.

  Huo Erhuai lay down again.

   The husband and wife looked at each other and sighed together. This child is heartbreaking.

  The next morning, Yang woke up early and wanted to make medicine for Huo Xi, but when he got to the bow of the boat, he was stunned.

   "Xi'er? Why did you wake up so early? Washing clothes? Mommy, mommy."

   Quickly walked over to **** the clothes from Huo Xi's hands, rubbed them twice, turned to her and said, "I'm not fully recovered yet, go into the cabin and rest."

  Huo Xi cried a lot last night, covered with a quilt, sweat and snot all over his clothes.

   "Mom, I'm ready." As she said that, she turned around to add firewood to the small clay stove.

   "My mother, my mother." Yang was about to get up, but Huo Xi held her down.

  Mr. Yang saw that the stove was turned on, and she was afraid that the child would get up early in the morning to cook breakfast for the family.

   "You child."

  Qian Sanduo's family next door also got up, "Boy Huo, have you recovered from your illness?"

   "Uncle Qian, I'm fine." He said with a smile to the other party.

   "That's good, you don't know that when you get sick, your parents are as anxious as ants on the hot pot, running around."

  People on several adjacent boats also got up one after another, greeting Huo Xi one after another.

  Huo Xi looked at the unfamiliar fishermen all around. Everyone greeted her early in the morning, and her dead heart came back to life, and she also strengthened her thoughts.

   She will let her go wild, and let her do it for a few years. When Nian'er grows up, when she is capable, she will return to the capital to avenge her mother.

   "Uncle Qian, Uncle Yu, you have caught crabs these days, can you sell them to my family? My family's harvest is 10% higher than the market price."

   Yang's subordinates paused.

   "Huh? From the Huo family, does your family accept crabs?"

   "Ah? Ah, yes. Take it, call me." Yang Shi glanced at Huo Xi, saw her smiling at her firmly in her eyes, and nodded at Qian Sanduo and the others in a mysterious way.

   "That's fine, if we get it, we'll sell it to your family at night."

   Selling is not selling, it is 10% more than the market, and selling to Huo's family also saves the time of going back and forth to the city to sell goods. This back and forth, most of the day's work is gone, and fishing is delayed.

   Those with fewer people are more willing. They all nodded in agreement.

Huo Xi happily thanked them one by one: "Uncle Qian, Uncle Yu, Grandpa Zou, Xi'er, thank you all. If you meet someone else you know well, please help me and ask them to sell crabs to my family." .”

   "Okay. Remember it."

  When Huo Erhuai and Yang Fu got up, they found out that Xi'er had brought such a business for the family this early in the morning, and they were all stunned.
