Chapter 1: Soft Smoke
Between the carved windows covered by the soft smoke of the rain, a ray of warm sunlight shot out of Xiao Ling's immature face, and finally pulled her out of the dark and sweet country. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yu Xiaoling opened her eyes, and she didn't know what time it was, but she felt that her body was still in pain, and she didn't want to move a finger.
There was the sound of small footsteps, and in a few moments the door creaked softly, and people pushed it around.
Yu Xiaoling crooked her little head, saw the willow yellow inlaid with blue edges and embroidered twined lotus skirt of the visitor, and curled the corners of her mouth.
"Ling'er woke up, does it still hurt in your body?" a gentle voice asked in surprise, took three steps and two steps to the bed, and gently touched Yu Xiaoling's forehead.
"Mother. Yu Xiaoling moved his mouth and shouted softly.
But even if she only moved her lips and called "mother", her body still felt indescribable pain, and her sparse eyebrows wrinkled.
Yu Xiaoling's mother-in-law, Cheng, felt her daughter's pain, and her heart throbbed and throbbed, and she couldn't help blaming herself.
If it weren't for the fact that he took his five-year-old daughter to fly a kite in the courtyard, her daughter's unsteady running at a young age was suddenly planted in the pond, and she broke her head, not to mention, and was bitten by a snake that came out of the pond, how could she not be so offended.
It's strange to say.
The house found a lot of people to check the biting water snake, but everyone said that the snake was not poisonous at all, and even the imperial doctor said that the most important thing for the daughter was to hurt her head, since she could wake up, she would be fine, and the others were frightened and cold at most, and they were not poisoned.
But my daughter has been in unbearable pain, pouring out cold sweat, and she can't sleep well at night, let alone deceiving. The imperial doctor had no choice but to take a few pairs of medicine and observe for a few days.
"Don't talk about it, the doctor said, take medicine well, and you'll be fine in two days." Cheng covered the quilt for her distressedly, afraid that the cool breeze of the March sky would freeze her again.
Yu Xiaoling looked at Cheng's melancholy eyebrows, but his thoughts flew up.
No wonder Qingtan gave Cheng a hexagram, saying that she died depressed at a young age, she counted her daughter's accident on her own head, thinking about it every day, blaming herself every day, how could she still live her life smoothly?
Yu Xiaoling shook her head secretly, although her real daughter is dead, she has been reincarnated, and she doesn't know if she can rewrite Cheng's hexagram and let her live a good life.
Someone knocked on the door and replied, "Second wife, the medicine is cold." ”
Yu Xiaoling was excited, and then there was another burst of acid reflux in his stomach.
She has been in this world for seven days, and she is peaceful and smooth everywhere, but there is only one thing that makes her cry bitterly, and that is the scary decoction that is bitter from smell to taste.
Cheng seemed to feel his daughter's resistance, so he had to ask someone to bring the medicine in, and patted her lightly and comforted: "Good medicine is bitter and good for illness, and if Ling'er drinks it, it won't hurt in her body." ”
It's really dumb to eat Coptis chinensis, and I can't say what I suffer, Yu Xiaoling couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
The pain in her body is of course not due to snake venom, nor is it any other disease, but it is just Yu Xiaoling's body, which rejects her soul as a carp spirit.
In other words, she has spent a lot of cultivation to resist the rejection of these alien bodies, but the pain can't resist it, and she has to endure seven days alive before she can live like a mortal.
This can be regarded as God's punishment for her to change her life against the sky.
Cheng took the sweet white glazed porcelain bowl in the hand of the maid Bingli, and the bitter breath wantonly penetrated into Yu Xiaoling's nostrils.
"Well, whoever told me to take the body of someone else's daughter will also have to suffer the sin that someone else's daughter deserves. Yu Xiaoling pondered in his heart.
But she really couldn't stand the pain and suffering slowly spoonful by spoonful, so she had to speak again: "Don't use a spoon, drink directly." ”
Cheng Shi was taken aback at first when he heard this, then turned his face away, put down the medicine bowl, took a handkerchief to wipe his eyes, and after a few breaths, he stood up and called out to Bingli, who was standing aside: "You can feed the girl the medicine in a while." ”
But Cheng put his hand under Yu Xiaoling's neck, slowly lifted her up, and half-hugged her in his arms.
Yu Xiaoling enjoyed Cheng's warm, soft and sweet embrace very much, wouldn't it be perfect if she didn't have to drink bitter medicine?
But that's impossible. Yu Xiaoling had no choice but to turn his heart sideways and pour the medicine with a grunt.
Naturally, there was honey water waiting for her, Yu Xiaoling drank half a bowl of honey water again, ate a piece of osmanthus sugar cake, and Cheng gently put her down again, covered her with a quilt, and patted her to sleep.
Of course, Yu Xiaoling couldn't destroy this harmonious atmosphere, and closed his eyes as if he were kind. But after a while, Cheng and Bingli left lightly.
Yu Xiaoling opened his eyes again, looking at the rosewood carved stepping bed in front of him, and was satisfied.
It's good to be a lady, there is a steady stream of delicious food and drink, the maid and the mother-in-law are around, and the parents and brothers are well cared for, there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.
Compared to cultivating lonely and lonely for another 600 years before it was possible to ascend to the ethereal immortal realm, now with 200 years of cultivation to be reincarnated as a human being, it couldn't be better.
As long as she can live peacefully in the world like a mortal for ten years in this life, pass on her ancestry, and finally exhaust her mana and die, she can completely get rid of the animal and animal path, and enter the human reincarnation instead.
As soon as she thought of this, she couldn't help but want to sing!
Yu Xiaoling was proudly thinking about the situation when he turned over as an adult in his later lives, but he heard the sound of "kicking" and running in the courtyard.
Yu Xiaoling frowned and thought about it for a long time.
As a carp spirit, although she has seen many people, it is a little difficult for her to distinguish these people one by one. Nowadays, she can only roughly judge by the sound of walking and talking and the clothes of each person, if she recognizes people's faces, I am afraid she will have to practice for a few days.
But she thought about it for a long time, but she didn't figure out who owned the running sound.
The voice got closer and closer, and with a squeak, the door was vigorously pushed open, and Yu Xiaoling saw a little girl about five or six years old step in.
She quickly pretended to be asleep again, and with only a little slit in her eyes, she secretly watched what the little girl who had come in was going to do.
When the little girl entered the house, she saw her lying on the bed, and ran over again.
When Yu Xiaoling was wondering what she was going to do here, she suddenly felt a heart-rending pain on her body.
Suddenly, the little girl raised her hands and hit her on the arm and stomach.
"You nasty ghost, your grandfather and grandmother have come to care about you, no one pays attention to me at all, and my mother is angry!" she shouted, aggrieved again, muttering to herself: "Didn't you just step on the ...... lightly"
Before she finished speaking, she withdrew the hand that hit Yu Xiaoling and covered her mouth: "Can't say it, can't say it...... You must have jumped off on your own, it has nothing to do with me, you bad girl!"
After she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her hand again and smashed it towards Yu Xiaoling.
Yu Xiaoling couldn't avoid it, and took another beat.
She curled up in pain, her nose was sore, and tears welled up, and for the first time, she heard her own "wow" cry.
