Crying While Filling the Pit I Dug - Chapter 4
Right! Song Miaomiao had an idea—the cowshed! The first time she appeared in this world was through the cowshed! The word “cowshed” left a deep impression in her heart!
Song Miaomiao sprang to her feet. There were two cowsheds around there. The first one was in the backyard of Lao Wang’s house next door. At that time, Lao Wang rented out the cattle for others to plow, and the yard was empty. Song Miaomiao searched everywhere there, not letting go of any straw, but she didn’t find anyone.
The second cowshed was in the backyard of the restaurant, which was where Song Miaomiao first appeared in that world. She, who was full of weeds, couldn’t wait, and ran all the way.
Male lead, wait for me!
As soon as she stepped into the backyard, the lady lord walked towards her with a stick, “Where did you go? I just scolded you a few words, and you dare to run away?!”
She was on the verge of striking her, but Song Miaomiao swiftly dodged, frantically waving her hands around. The lady lord was not polite. A full-grown woman, accustomed to a meat diet year-round, attacking a girl resembling a chicken. No matter what, there was always a little advantage, “You still dare to run?”
The lady lord vigorously swung the stick towards Song Miaomiao who was dodging, landing a hit on her calf. She gasped in pain, babbled, and fell to the ground, unable to continue dodging.
The lady lord scolded her while beating her, “You are still hiding, do you still dare to break the bowl?”
Song Miaomiao twitched in pain. It was the first time she had experienced such anger. In the 22nd century, in a society ruled by law, who would dare to beat her? When she first came to that world, although she was a bit naive, she remained cautious. The worst punishment she faced was not being allowed to eat, but she was never subjected to physical violence. Moreover, at that time, the boss was still alive and had a better temper, so he wouldn’t resort to beating her. Since the boss passed away, the lady boss had become increasingly irritable.
The cook and waiters in the backyard watched Song Miaomiao being beaten like that, but none of them dared to persuade the lady boss.
“Ah!” The lady boss suddenly wailed, and the stick in her hand fell to the ground. She covered her right hand with her left, exclaiming, “What’s wrong with my right hand? Why can’t I move it?”
Song Miaomiao looked at the lady boss, who had suddenly become immobile, in surprise. What had happened to her?
Seeing the strange behavior of the lady boss, a waiter came over courteously. “Madam, do you have hand cramps? When I was growing up, I would be unable to move for a while after leg cramps.”
The lady boss was stunned for a moment. “Probably so. It’s all because of this damn girl!”
The younger waiter suggested, “You can go to Doctor Wang at the east end of the village for acupuncture; it might help clear it.”
Before the lady boss left, she didn’t forget to instruct the waiter, “Put her in the cowshed for me, and she is not allowed to eat tonight.”
“Okay,” the waiter nodded. After sending the lady boss away, he helped Song Miaomiao up. “Why did you run? The beating wasn’t for nothing. Can you still walk?”
Song Miaomiao understood that the younger brother had sent the lady boss away to help her. Unable to express her gratitude, she nodded to the waiter.
The waiter said, “The lady boss told me to lock you up in the cowshed, so why don’t you go there and rest for a while?”
Song Miaomiao limped and dragged one leg towards the cowshed. The cowshed was her destination!
Looking around, in addition to the cow’s manure in the cowshed, there was hay. Song Miaomiao carefully sat on the hay with the support of the pillar and quietly rummaged through the haystack.
Suddenly, her little hand touched another cold little hand. Song Miaomiao pushed aside some hay, and a little muddy face with closed eyes appeared in front of her.
Male lead, Ling Qianyi!
Song Miaomiao was overjoyed and touched her left earlobe with her right hand. “[System Oppa, I found the male lead!]”
A mechanical and electronic male voice responded, “[Congratulations, once the task is completed, the bonus points will be 100 points.]”
“Nine-year-old Ling Qianyi had been hungry for countless days. He didn’t know where he was, surrounded by hay in what seemed like a weed shed. He opened his eyes in a daze and saw a middle-aged woman beating a little mute girl who looked eleven or twelve years old. He picked up a stone and threw it at the woman’s hand with all his strength. As soon as the stone was thrown, he passed out again…”
Song Miaomiao shook Ling Qianyi’s arm, but he couldn’t open his eyes no matter what. Trembling, she tested Ling Qianyi’s breath with her hands. Fortunately, although his breathing was weak, he was still alive and must have passed out. Carefully examining Ling Qianyi’s face, even though it was covered with mud, she could still discern a rough outline, summed up in one word – thin.
He must have fainted from hunger!
Fortunately, the cowshed couldn’t be seen from the outside, so Song Miaomiao closed the door and quietly went to the kitchen to find something to eat. With the lady boss gone, the cook in the lobby, and the waiter an orphan who turned a blind eye when serving dishes, she was given leftover vegetarian buns and a bowl of rice soup from two guests. Although it was leftovers, it was obviously untouched. Its skin was a little gray, just needing the skin to be torn off. She had no right to be picky. After all, in ancient times when productivity was underdeveloped, every grain of rice was very precious.
