Chapter 1: Crossing or Rejuvenating
In June, the small door on the southeast corner of the Dingyang Hou Mansion creaked open, and a pretty girl wearing a bright green dress and a silver bracelet on her wrist walked in.
"Miss Beth is back. In the shadow of the porch, three or two idle mothers-in-law, who were grinding their teeth, saw the girl, and all of them stood up, with some flattering smiles on their faces.
Hearing the greeting, the girl named Beth nodded with a hint of arrogance, and said casually: "Well, come back and see Daddy." "Don't stop, just walk forward.
It wasn't until the girl's back could no longer be seen that several mothers-in-law sat back and began to talk about it.
"It's different to be able to serve by the young master's side, look at this all-round style, it's not far from the ladies of those small families outside!"
"The eldest young master of our Hou Mansion, that is a very elegant character, the four big girls around him, all of them are this!" The woman gave a thumbs up with cigarette stains.
"Mrs. Li's life is good, you said, she and her old face are ordinary people, but the children born are very smart, not to mention this Miss Bisi, even the second daughter of her family, is also a good appearance like white onions. ”
"It's just that I went to climb a tree some time ago, but I fell off the tree, and I broke a big hole in the back of my head, and my life was almost gone......"
***
"Mother......" Beth cried.
The middle-aged woman who was sitting on the kang and was holding the pestle in her hand immediately turned around when she heard this: "Chun'er, did you smash it back?"
"My name is Bisi now, don't always call Chunchun, it's hard to hear. Beth said in disgust, and put the food box she was carrying on the eaves of the kang, and at this time there was still a little girl lying on the kang, looking not too old, with a medicine belt to stop bleeding tied on her head, and she was sleeping grogily.
Seeing that her sister was sick like this, Bess felt distressed in her eyes, but she said: "How many times have the dead girl told her to be quieter, but she still went to climb some big tree, and it's good to lose half of her life now!"
Rong Niangzi always knew that her eldest daughter was a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and when she heard the words, she also said: "Fortunately, when it was an emergency, Lang Zhong said that as long as people can wake up, the rest will be better to be raised." ”
"How hanging, not to mention that I almost lost my life, but I broke my face, and I will never be worse in front of my masters in the future. Bisi looked at her sister carefully, and saw that her face was like white paper and she looked angry, and her eyes began to astringen: "I heard that there was a sprinkler in the courtyard of the third young lady, and she wanted to make some silver, and Seasya went in, but now it can't be done." ”
This Bisi was originally called Rong Chun, and the girl lying on the kang was her sister named Rong Xia, who was only ten years old this year. The mother-in-law of the two is surnamed Li in the kitchen behind the Hou Ye's mansion, and his father is called Rong Huaishu because he has the ability to serve flowers and plants, so he received the work of the flower house and the greenhouse, and the family of four is the son of the Dingyang Hou Mansion. Sure enough, Mrs. Li also showed a regretful expression after listening to her eldest daughter's words, you must know that these minions are also three, six, nine and so on, among them, serving in front of the masters is undoubtedly the most decent and promising way.
"Forget it, let's talk about it when we have a chance in the future!" Seeing that her mother couldn't hide her disappointment, Bisi changed her words and said: "Anyway, as long as I stand firm in front of the eldest young master, our family Axia will not worry about having no way out in the future." "The eldest young master used to have four close-fitting big maids in front of him, one of them was called Huang Ying, a few days ago somehow got a sore, he actually got a sore, such a person must not be able to stay, he has been moved to the Zhuangzi outside, Rong Chun got this opportunity, and he went up, so he became Bisi.
Mrs. Li really smiled when she heard this, the mother and daughter talked for a while, Bisi estimated that the young master should wake up from a nap at this time, and didn't want the other three to get a chance to get close to the young master, so she got up and said that she wanted to leave: "Mother, you take these five taels of silver, go outside and buy two fat hens and kill them to make up for Axia." ”
Mrs. Li and Lao Rong can only get a dozen taels of silver all year round, and they can't help but be startled when they see their daughter take out five taels at once. asked again and again about the origin of the money. "Mother, don't worry, this silver is rewarded to me by the eldest young master. Beth laughed, a slight smug look on her beautiful features, she raised her hand to pull the broken hair from her ears, and the silver bracelet on her wrist smeared with a shiny light.
"My son is really out of breath!" Li Niangzi stuffed the silver in her hand into the kang cabinet three or two times, and used the lock to drop it finely. Just got off the ground, the mother and daughter laughed and walked outside.
When the room fell into a brief silence, the little girl lying on the kang quietly opened her eyes. It was a pair of eyes similar to those of a kitten, round, black, warm as water, but with a hint of horror.
A few days ago, she drove to the post office in the county to deliver a batch of goods, who would have thought that she had a car accident halfway through, and when she woke up, she found that she was not in the hospital or at home, but in an antique room. It was not my brother and sister-in-law who accompanied me, but a woman who was dressed strangely and had never seen before. What's more important is that Li Yaya found that she had shrunk. No, it would be more accurate to say that I became a little child.
Li Yaya didn't know what "crossing" was, so she thought she was dreaming. Thinking about sleeping more, sleeping again, and waking up will return to normal, however, after three days have passed, she still can't wake up from this "dream".
Looking at the rough wooden beams in a daze, Li Yaya suddenly shed tears.
Li Yaya is a child from the countryside, her parents died very early, leaving only her and her brother, and to add insult to injury, Li Yaya was born mute. The friends in the village like to call her Li dumb, although life is difficult, and her body is still disabled, but Li Yaya still feels very happy, because she has a very good big brother, the eldest brother is eight years older than her, in order to provide food for her sister, she learned all kinds of farm work very early. The brothers and sisters depended on each other, relying on the meager relief funds of the town government and the help of the villagers, but they also grew up bumpily. And when Li Yaya was fourteen years old, there was an incomparably wonderful change in her body. I don't know why, there is a red mark of the word "well" in the palm of Li Yaya's palm, as long as she looks at this word intently, she will inexplicably go to a place, it is a room with a hundred ordinary meters, gray and abrupt, there is only a well in the middle of the room, it is a real well, the kind that can be touched and drunk. This frightened Li Yaya, it took her a long time to accept her change, and later, she found that with the water flowing from this well to water the crops, the crops would grow very well, almost planting anything, relying on this God-given spiritual well, Li Yaya and her brother slowly got rid of poverty. They have not forgotten the villagers who helped them, relying on the transportation of vegetables and various natural agricultural and sideline products, the relatively poor Xingye Village began to gradually prosper, before Li Yaya's accident, their family had even built a mountain villa, ready to vigorously develop farm tourism. However, all of them are now in vain.
Li Yaya can no longer see her brother and sister-in-law, and she can no longer see those familiar villagers.
She's dead.
Then, came this place.
"Well, why are you still crying? But my head hurts? As soon as Mrs. Li sent her eldest daughter away, she saw her little daughter wake up as soon as she came back, and the little girl was lying on the bed crying silently, as if she had endless grievances and pain, which made her feel distressed all of a sudden. Li Niangzi quickly got on the kang and carefully hugged her daughter into her arms, deliberately avoiding the medicine strap on her head, and hummed while shaking gently: "Mother pat, mother pat, Ah Xia doesn't hurt." ”
Li Yaya buried her head in the woman's warm chest, and gradually, she stopped crying.
She has not had a father and mother since she was a child, and now she is treated so gently that she begins to feel at a loss.
I don't know if it's because Li Niangzi's arms are too comfortable, Li Yaya's feelings began to slowly calm down. Mrs. Li saw her nested in her arms, with a well-behaved and pitiful look, so she thought that the baby had suffered a danger, and it was easy to pick up a small life from before the ghost gate was closed, and she must have been greatly frightened. Immediately, he decided to grab two pairs of calming drugs to come back, after all, children are the least frightened.
Li Yaya didn't know when she fell asleep again. When she woke up again, it was already dark outside, Mrs. Li fed her medicine, and opened the food box sent by her eldest daughter, which contained two dishes, a meat, a vegetarian, and a plate of white bean cake. Mrs. Li specially cooked her a bowl of millet porridge again, and Li Yaya reluctantly used a few sips, and then fell asleep again.
The days went by page by page, and half a month later, the wound on the back of Li Yaya's head had basically healed, and she could wipe it with her hands, and she could feel the hard scabs. Li Yaya began to be able to get off the ground and walk around the outside of the house. Looking at the surrounding Qiē, Li Yaya was undoubtedly nervous, apprehensive and full of great uneasiness. She didn't know why she came back to this strange place, and she didn't know why she had become a child, but she would never dare to tell anyone what had happened to her, she was afraid that she would be treated like a monster.
"Never tell the three of you about your physical abnormality!!! After stumbling to tell her brother the secret of the tic-tac-toe in her hand, after experiencing a series of unbelievable - verification - the facts are right in front of her, Li Yaya's brother grabbed her shoulder and warned her: "You will be burned to death as a monster, and you will be pulled over by the research institute and cut into slices for study." For these words, Li Yaya was scared and didn't get a good night's sleep for half a month.
In the same way, it can be proved that the matter of "borrowing the corpse to return the soul" to a little girl must never let anyone know.
Even if you are afraid, you can't do it!!
