The Red Chamber Collection

Daiyu hurried on the road in the starry night, with one foot deep and the other shallow, stumbling and not daring to stop.I ran until morning, not knowing where I was.She privately thought that the county magistrate would definitely not relax his vigilance easily in the past few days, and would send people to spy on her everywhere.Besides, she is such a young lady, so beautiful, she is eye-catching everywhere.She searched and found a deserted cornfield to hide.Walking at night, with few clothes, the cold always followed.She didn't feel it when she was walking, but now that she stopped, Daiyu felt dizzy.She told herself that she dare not get sick, who will take care of her when she gets sick?Though thinking so, my mind is still dizzy.She didn't care about cleaning either, she sat on the corn leaf with her buttocks down, and fell asleep unconsciously.The very good sun shines on her through the corn stalks, making it warm.I lowered my head for a while, feeling a sore neck.She simply collapsed, lying on the half-dried corn leaves, stretched out, and fell asleep.I don't know how long it has passed, Daiyu woke up, her head was still dazed, she felt the pain in her stomach unbearably, she looked around, but there was no one there.

Daiyu didn't expect that the diarrhea would be endless.This is because of the cold last night.Caught a cold and pulled up the stomach again, how can this body bear it?Just die, Daiyu thought, it's not like she never died before.The parents have gone; Jia's family is also in trouble, whether they are dead or alive, and they can't take care of so much.It's really like what is said in the play, now I really "have nothing to worry about".Although she thought so, her stomach didn't think so, and hunger struck.She held the yam in her hand, wondering whether to eat it or not?If you eat it, you will have diarrhea.She sat there, her mind was in turmoil.What should I do?If you want to die, come quickly, mother-in-law, what do you mean? !Otherwise, she thought, what should I do with this stomach, where can I find a doctor?Find a doctor, no money, who is willing to prescribe medicine for you?Medicine, Daiyu thought about it, medicine... Daiyu suddenly remembered that it was said in medical books that purslane can cure diarrhea.She recalled the appearance of purslane in the book.She searched on the ground.After searching for a long time, I found a wild vegetable called big car ear by the locals.This thing is really a good thing to cure diarrhea.The local people cut it home, grinded the bean and wheat paste with a mill, put the big car ears in a pot, cooked them and ate them.The locals call it vegetable rice, which is very delicious.They don't finish eating the big car ears they cut, but they will gather some, wash and dry them, and hang them up.As long as anyone eats something bad, or has diarrhea from the cold, take some and boil it in a pot, drink a bowl of soup, and wrap it up.Tried and tested.Daiyu has never been in contact with the countryside since she was a child, and she doesn't know how many varieties of vegetables there are. She can't even tell the difference between spring wheat and autumn leeks.The first time Jia Yucun took her to Jia's mansion, she made such a joke.She saw a large piece of wheat seedlings through the car window, and said in surprise, there are so many leeks!Xueyan collapsed laughing at that moment.

She picked up some big ears, not sure if it was purslane.I washed it by the river and sent it to my mouth to chew.This dish is not bitter when eaten raw.She thought, it doesn't matter if it is purslane or not, if it is poisonous, it will kill you if you eat it.She kept the two yams, and lay down again on the corn leaves when she was hungry.Fell asleep.She didn't sleep last night and was frightened again, so it was night when she woke up.The cold air penetrated her body, she curled up and woke up.Her stomach pain was gone, and her head was not so cloudy.But the stomach was hungry like it was suffering, and it was growling.She took out the yam and bit into her mouth. It was very sweet, but it was colder.She looked at the sky full of stars, but her body was still a little cold.If I do this again at night, I'm afraid I'll get sick again.She wound the sun-drenched corn leaves into ropes and wrapped them round and round around her body.After wrapping it up, tie a knot in front of it again.She lowered her head and took advantage of the moonlight to see her own appearance, and burst out laughing.If Zijuan Xueyan and the others saw this, they would not know how to laugh.She thought of Zicuckoo, and felt sad.I don't know how she is now?Forget about her, let's talk about living first, there will always be a time when two people meet.She was happy again, and her body became much warmer.Inspired by her masterpiece, she turns out that as long as she uses her brain, life is not so scary.Diarrhea, isn’t it cured in the same way? !Cold, not the same Figure out a way to come!

She ate a yam and felt that her stomach was not full.Keep it, she thought, the days are long.Good things can't be eaten all at once.Now she knows that it turns out that good things are not delicacies from mountains and seas, but just a bite to eat when you are so hungry.And this stuttering is better than eating delicacies with a full stomach!

She now knows that wild vegetables can also be eaten raw.God can't starve a blind bird to death, this is what Grandma Liu said, it's really good!

Daiyu walked under the moon more carefully than yesterday.Yesterday, because she was afraid that the government would take her, she left in a panic, and had no time to take into account the fear brought to her by the darkness.But tonight is different, alone, no one around.She cheers herself up, what are you afraid of after all this? !

What are you afraid of?She thought, I am not afraid!She walked in one direction and kept going.There was the sound of frogs on the road, the barking of dogs in the village, and the croaking of old crows.Emboldened by herself, Daiyu shouted loudly in the night sky, "If you have the ability, you will take my life, and I will obey you. I am not afraid of death, but are you still afraid of you? Ghosts and gods, come out, come out, I Then." But there was nothing, she looked back and forth, left and right, and the bright moon was shining, but there was nothing.The sound of the frogs continued, and the barking of the dogs became even more joyful.

She walked and walked to a river.She followed the river again, changing direction.Finally came to a bridge.She wondered whether the official road could be taken tonight.But what would she do when she met someone who delivered urgent documents on horseback in the middle of the night?She was originally a woman, which was already surprising, and she looked like this again.Wouldn't it scare people to death?The legend of the ghost fox has never stopped among the people.She lowered her head again, looked at the corn leaves wrapped around her body, and smiled.This appearance is really weird, not to mention night, even during the day, in the wilderness, it will scare a big man to death.Daiyu decided to take the path and the field ridge.Although bumpy, but at least safe!

······

Daiyu is like this, walking at night and stopping during the day.During the day, untie the corn rope and put it in one place.Stay in the temple when you meet the temple, live in the nunnery when you meet the nunnery, and hide in the fields far away if there is no temple nunnery.When she met a farmer, she deliberately messed up her hair, disheveled her hair, and her clothes were soiled by dirt and grass, making her look like a beggar.The farmer ignored her, so what to do.Sometimes I see her planing a nest of yams or something, but I don't talk about her!Let her go.Daiyu added a lot of fun to such a day.

I don't know how many days I walked, but on this day, Daiyu went to a town.She dared not wash her face and comb her hair along the way.Following the crazy look of others, I went back to a sesame seed stand for the first time and stretched out my hand.

She hasn't asked for food yet, and she ate a lot of raw food along the way.Wild vegetables, yams, corn, leaves, etc.She really wants some cooked food!

"Fuck off, I haven't opened yet, and meeting you is such an unlucky thing! It's ruined my luck for a day!"

After hearing the scolding, Daiyu ran away as if to run away, looking down at the angry boss from afar.It turns out that begging for food is not so easy!
