Chapter 1 Crossing a small mountain village
Just two days after the winter solstice, the first snow after the winter began to fall in Qingshan Village, and the snow was very heavy for three days, and when the snow stopped, the whole village and the green mountains in the distance were covered with a thick layer of snow.
This year's harvest was good, and even if it snowed so heavily, it did not affect the good mood of the people in the village to have a good year.
Lao Gu's house is at the entrance of the village, and unlike other people's jubilant spirits, it is quiet and a little scary.
Gu Mingzhen, the eldest granddaughter of Mrs. Gu, accidentally fell down a few days ago when she went up the mountain to chop wood, her head broke and her blood flowed, and she lay in the room for three days, and her eldest daughter-in-law Ye Jingrong stayed by her bedside for three days.
In the morning, the second daughter-in-law Li just said a word that the virgin girl didn't know if she could survive, Ye rushed out of the room, ran to the kitchen and chased Li with a kitchen knife, looking like she was going to chop her, she had a knife in her hand, no one dared to go up and pull it, and finally the second Gu Yi beat the second niece Gu Mingyu and beat her to cry, Ye stopped.
The sky outside was already a little dark, there was no light in the room, the youngest daughter Gu Mingyu was taken by her sister-in-law, the eldest daughter was still unconscious, and her husband Gu Sui rarely went home since he was hit by Xiucai six years ago.
Ye sat on the edge of the kang with cold hands and feet, staring blankly at a little light outside the window, I didn't know what I remembered for a while, she stood up and was about to go out, she sat for too long, got up too violently, her legs stiffened and did not slow down, she fell on the kang and pressed on Gu Mingzhen's body, this change made her panic immediately, regardless of the pain of her elbow being hit, she hurriedly stood up on the edge of the kang, carefully checked Gu Mingzhen, and saw that although her face was pale but her breath had stabilized, she put her mind at ease.
Gu Mingzhen actually woke up as early as when Ye was chasing her second aunt Li all over the yard with a kitchen knife, but looking at the gray roof and the sudden extra memories in her head, she never wanted to believe that her modern self was dead, and now her soul lives in the body of a fourteen-year-old rural girl in ancient times.
In modern times, her parents died early, leaving her and her sister to depend on each other, relying on work-study and insurance compensation, the two sisters successfully finished college, worked for a few years, and finally their lives improved and got on the right track, the two sisters worked together to pay a down payment to buy a house in the city where they worked, but Gu Mingzhen found that she followed her colleagues to buy a lottery ticket, and actually won the lottery, coincidentally, on the day she went to receive the award, she happened to be seen by a relative.
Those so-called relatives who didn't reach out and pull the two sisters after the death of Gu's father and mother all came to the door, and opened their mouths to borrow money, Gu Mingzhen was quite calm, but her sister Gu Mingyu was a fierce person, and immediately quarreled with her relatives, there were too many people, the scene was chaotic, and she didn't know how to fight, Gu Mingzhen saw that a relative's slap was about to greet her sister's face, and she couldn't help it anymore, she pushed the relative out, took out her mobile phone and was about to call the police, a group of relatives from her hometown were all panicked, and between the two sides, Gu Mingzhen was inserted into the heart with a watermelon knife, and she was killedใ
When she opened her eyes again, she had become a fourteen-year-old girl in Qingshan Village.
Qingshan Village is a small mountain village under the jurisdiction of the Ningguo Mansion of the Great Zhou Dynasty, because the original body has read for a few years, and he knows this dynasty quite well.
Fifty years ago, the history of this world was the same as Gu Mingzhen's understanding, that is, Empress Zetian was in power, and after Emperor Wu died, it was Princess Taiping who ascended to the throne, and now it is Princess Taiping's second daughter, Princess Changning, who is in power, and is the third empress of the Great Zhou.
And the little girl who was crossed by herself has the same name as herself, also called Gu Mingzhen, from the point that her parents are alive, she seems to be much luckier than herself, but lying in bed for most of the day and going through all her memories, Gu Mingzhen can be sure that she is much more unfortunate than herself.
Although the modern thirty-year-old Gu Mingzhen was very hard and tired in the early stage and had to work hard all the time, she at least saw hope and had smooth sailing in her career, while the future of the fourteen-year-old Gu Mingzhen in ancient times was hopeless.
Gu Mingzhen's grandfather Gu Qizhu's family was poor when he was a child, and his mother gave birth to seven sons and three pairs of twins in six years.
It is said that poor children are in charge of the family early, Gu Qizhu has been smart since he was a child, and after being sold, he worked hard to absorb everything that could be learned, although the owner treated him well, but he thought far, and it was never a long-term plan for the current person to give people the present, so he took all the savings to redeem himself and settled in Qingshan Village.
He can speak well not only literate but also a craftsman, even if he is old, there are many girls who want to marry him, after marrying the girl in this village, life is also going well, two years of marriage and then there is the eldest son Gu Sui, not a few years later added the second son Gu Xi, the third son Gu Huai, and so on when Gu Sui was fifteen years old can say kiss, his daughter-in-law in her thirties was pregnant with another one, because the daughter-in-law read once wanted to eat winter bamboo shoots, Gu Qizhu ignored the cold, went up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots, but unexpectedly slipped and fell down the mountain, and was found when he was already dying.
When she was carried home, Mrs. Gu looked at her husband who was covered in blood with a big belly, she was scared of premature birth on the spot, and gave birth to a daughter, she had to take care of her daughter and her husband on the other, Mrs. Gu seemed to be several years old in just a few days, but even if she was busy in the dark, Grandfather Gu still only had one breath left.
Later, I don't know which person came to visit said a word of joy, Mrs. Gu was sick and rushed to the doctor, and took this as a last resort, the eldest son Gu Sui is very talented in reading, and he is handsome, and the gentleman of the private school, Ye Xiucai, intends to marry his only daughter to him, although it is a little bad to come to the door at this time, but for the sake of her husband, Mrs. Gu still asked someone to come to the door to propose.
Although Ye Xiucai loves her daughter, if she doesn't agree to this family matter at this time, no matter whether Gu Sui's father is good or not, I'm afraid that her daughter and Gu Sui will not be good in the future, so she has no choice but to agree to the marriage.
The wedding wine was in a hurry, in the first two days after Ye Jingrong married into the Gu family, her husband's breath was indeed a lot stronger, but on the morning of the third day, when Mrs. Gu went to check on her husband after feeding her daughter, she found that he had been stiff and dead for a long time.
The death of her husband hit Mrs. Gu very hard, she guarded her husband's body in the house for several days without eating or drinking, and when she finally came out, the whole person was so thin that only a handful of bones remained, the person looked gloomy, living like a dead person, she couldn't accept that her husband died in order to dig bamboo shoots for herself, so she put the responsibility on the youngest daughter and eldest daughter-in-law.
After she named her little daughter Gu Regret, she began to ignore her, the little person was often hungry and cried, Ye Jingrong really couldn't see it, and took the person to her own house to raise it, at that time Ye Xiucai was in good health, and the old lady Gu was no longer happy, and she didn't dare to easily fight Ye Jingrong for the sake of her sons.
Ye Jingrong and Gu Sui gave birth to Gu Mingzhen in the second year of marriage, probably stimulated by the youngest daughter, Mrs. Gu didn't like the girl very much, Ye Xiucai and his wife took the initiative to take their granddaughter to their side, but it was only six or seven years, and the two old people also died of illness suddenly.
The old man is not there, Gu Sui's nature is exposed, he can show off his talent with a little talent when he was young, and the teaching of the old man, as soon as the old man dies, Gu Sui became arrogant, and he did not treat his wife as gently and carelessly as before.
Mrs. Gu even began to torture her eldest daughter-in-law, but Ye Jingrong had to endure it for the sake of her two daughters, and after nearly ten years of hard life, her original delicate skin looked much older than her peers.
Gu Mingzhen opened her eyes slightly when she thought of this, and sighed, feeling worthless for Ye Jingrong and the original two sisters.
As soon as she spoke, Ye Shi, who had planned to go out to fetch hot water to wipe her daughter's body, was stunned all of a sudden, she turned her head in disbelief, glanced at Gu Mingzhen, and saw that the eldest child was looking at her, and there was brilliance in her eyes, and she cried happily, as soon as the tears flowed out, she hurriedly raised her hand to wipe it, and said happily: "Hungry or not, my mother will go and get you something to eat." โ
Without waiting for Gu Mingzhen to speak, the Ye clan had already turned around and ran out.
The Gu family has not been separated yet, and the third child has not married a daughter-in-law, so the cooking business is that the two daughters-in-law take turns, one round every two days, and today it is the turn of the Ye family, but Gu Mingzhen is seriously injured in bed, how can the mother still have the heart to cook.
Old lady Gu's mind is gloomy and always incomprehensible, if the Ye family didn't cook, she would have started teaching people a long time ago, but today she didn't know why there was no sound at all, the old woman didn't speak, and the Li family didn't dare to say anything more, muttering and scolding in the yard, then got something and took it back to the house to eat for her family of five.
Gu Mingzhen thought about it for a long time, felt that the wound on her head was a little painful, and she wanted to reach out and touch it, but she was startled by a red mole in her palm.
It's not right to say it's a mole, it looks more like a birthmark, hidden under the skin.
The original owner didn't have this small birthmark, Gu Mingzhen stared at it and suddenly remembered some time-traveling novels she had read in her previous life, and pressed the small birthmark with her left thumb, very abruptly, a virtual space appeared in her mind, and the layout inside was exactly the same as the house in her previous life.
Gu Mingzhen was completely stunned, this is the legendary space? But the general space can be allowed to enter and exit at will, so what about his own space?
Gu Mingzhen closed her eyes and planned to give it a try.
But as soon as her eyes were closed, she felt that something was wrong, she always felt that something was staring at her in the dark, she thought it was a hallucination caused by her headache, but after a while, this feeling not only did not dissipate, but became more intense.
Gu Mingzhen opened her eyes, endured the pain, and looked at the door, and happened to see an old lady with gray hair and a gloomy face standing at the door looking at her, it was the grandmother of this body, Mrs. Gu.
Gu Mingzhen's new body is very young and energetic, unlike the previous life when she stayed up late to study and broke her eyes, this body's eyesight couldn't be better, even if she was a little dizzy now, and the light in the room was very weak, Gu Mingzhen still clearly saw the undisguised coldness, disgust, viciousness and guilt in the eyes of the old lady Gu?
Guilty?
Gu Mingzhen was stunned, and then thought that this kind of emotion was normal for Mrs. Gu, no matter how much she shirked her responsibility, she couldn't shirk the fact that her husband died on the way to dig bamboo shoots for him.
Gu Mingzhen thought about it and was about to speak, when she heard Ye's voice from outside the house: "Mother, have you eaten?" I cooked some porridge, do you want to drink a bowl?"
Old Lady Gu didn't reply, and after glancing at Gu Mingzhen with a gloomy and cold look again, she turned around and left.
Ye Shi walked in with a porridge bowl, lit the oil lamp first, and confirmed that there was no one outside, before he whispered, "What did she come here for just now?"
Gu Mingzhen took a sip of porridge from Gu's hand.
It turned out that when Ye Shi used honorifics, she was still thinking that this mother was really a bun, weak and bulliful, she had been married for more than ten years and had been succumbing to the obscenity of Mrs. Gu, and she had long been trained and didn't know how to resist, and now it seems that although she is afraid of Mrs. Gu, it is obvious that she is still guarding against the old lady.
After eating a mouthful of porridge, Gu Mingzhen said slowly: "Just stand at the door for a while and leave, where is my sister?"
Thinking of Gu Mingyu, Gu Mingzhen's eyebrows and eyes softened unconsciously, thinking about how good it would be if her sister could come with her, and thinking about her sister at the same age, why come here to suffer, not to mention that she has just been promoted and raised, that is, the money she won the lottery As long as she doesn't spend it lavishly, it is enough for her to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
Ye didn't think much about her, listening to Gu Mingzhen's question, she noticed that it was getting late outside, her eldest daughter was sick in the past two days, she didn't have any extra thoughts about her younger daughter, it was always her sister-in-law who took her, but according to her usual habits, she should have come back a long time ago, but now......
Gu Mingzhen took another sip of porridge, looked at the worry on Ye's face, and took the initiative to take the porridge bowl and said, "Mother, go out and have a look." โ
With the memory of the original body, this mother's cry is not too difficult.
Ye nodded, the doctor said that as long as Gu Mingzhen could wake up, even if she was out of danger, she didn't have to keep guarding.
"Then the mother goes out to take a look, don't move if you're still injured, what's the matter when the mother comes back, you know?"
Gu Mingzhen nodded obediently, and the Ye family went out.
