Chapter 2: Bitter Life

"Mother?" Ziran tried her best to restrain the discomfort in her heart, and opened her mouth cautiously. Although she had just met this "mother", Ziran couldn't see this weak woman sad.

"Am I going to be sent to Mrs. Wang's house? Don't worry, mother, I'll live a good life if I go. After all, it's not really "Ranran", and for Ziran, the road ahead is unpredictable. Whether it is guarding this beautiful lady to spend a hard time, or entering the high-gate mansion to be a subordinate, it is a new life, and she has to face it carefully.

Moreover, her heart has long been as solid as a rock, what did she not experience in the previous life? No matter what kind of life she will face in this life, she doesn't have much fear in her heart.

"What a good boy", the mother stroked Ziran's forehead. "It's just that you don't know the suffering in the deep house of the evil door. My mother said that she couldn't send you to that sea of suffering. The mother wiped the corners of her eyes, "It is still the mother who has affected you, and you have had such bad luck at a young age." ”

As if unwilling to say anything more, the mother packed up a few clothes at the head of the bed. "Ran Ran lie down, my mother will go to wash the clothes." Ziran looked at her slightly sad back, although she didn't really regard her as a mother, but her heart was a little sour.

She herself was shocked by this emotion, could it be that borrowing someone else's body affected even her heart? In her previous life, how could she have felt this way?

In addition, Ziran was also a little confused, looking at the words and deeds of this "mother", as well as the embroidery work under her hands, it seemed that it was incompatible with this poor family, on the contrary, there were some young ladies who did it.

"Also, where is this little Ranran's father?"

Ziran was originally fatherless and motherless since he was a child, and he was not familiar with his parents' affection. Now, after receiving the care of this beautiful woman, I don't want to owe her favors, thinking that I should always repay her affection to be at ease. It's just that I have no strength in my little arms and legs, and I still have a body injury, so I really can't do it.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was another knock on the door from the courtyard.

……

"Ranran, Aunt Wang is here, thank you Aunt Wang, thanks to her for saving your life that day." "Mother" spoke, and helped a middle-aged woman walk in. The aunt Wang had a white face and a white forehead, and the blue skirt on her body was still patched everywhere, and she seemed to be a poor person. It's just that her body is quite sturdy, and her eyes are also bright. In Ziran's opinion, this is the real woman in the market.

"Don't thank me, alas, who made us poor people not afford to hire a doctor. I didn't expect that the three-legged cat's kung fu for bruising and injury that I learned from people when I was young really snatched this child back from the ghost gate, and it is also the creation of this child. Aunt Wang's hands and feet were not idle, she quickly untied Ziran's small clothes and checked the injury.

Ziran was very disgusted with being close to people, not to mention being undressed without even saying hello. But now she also knows that she can't resist, otherwise she is afraid of being recognized, so she has to endure the discomfort in her heart again and again.

Listening to Aunt Wang's meaning, although Ziran's small body and bones have improved a little, and his life has been saved, he still has to raise it for a few days before he can hope to really recover.

In fact, Ziran couldn't be clearer about his current injuries. When he was a killer in his previous life, the first thing he learned was not how to kill his opponent, but how to save his own life, so Ziran studied the body structure and the treatment of various injuries quite deeply. In fact, if this little injury is now the self in the previous life, there is no need to even rest. But now the foundation of this body is too weak, and as Aunt Wang said, it still needs to be recuperated.

"Evil, such a little child, how can they endure it." From Aunt Wang's intermittent thoughts, Ziran also knew the ins and outs of her injury.

It turns out that although the "mother" has always been low-key, her demeanor is different from that of the small people in the market, and it still attracts the coveted of some ruffians and hooligans. In order to avoid trouble, she tried to keep her door closed, but the embroidery work she did had to be sent out of the door after all. Those hooligans came up to entangle them every time, making the "mother" unbearable.

Later, Xiao Ran saw that the "mother" was worried, so she automatically took over the work of sending embroidery. Fortunately, this Sanyang Town is not big, and there are only a few high-ranking families, and it is not enough to get lost, so the "mother" was originally relieved.

Which Cheng thought, the ruffian of heaven and earth tried to block the way of "mother" several times, and he was a little annoyed and angry. That day, when I saw that Xiao Ranran was going to send embroidery work again, he surrounded him, and said some foul words insulting the "mother's relatives".

Xiao Ran was humiliated, after all, she was still a child, and she didn't know the disparity in strength, so she collided with these hooligans. As a result, the child was beaten viciously.

Fortunately, there were quite a few well-wishers in the market, and when they saw that the hooligans had dispersed, they hurriedly carried her home. It is said that she was already more out of breath and less in at that time. Everyone thought that she might not be able to come back to life. The first time she saw her covered in blood, she almost fainted. Fortunately, Aunt Wang arrived in time, which can be regarded as barely keeping Xiao Ranran's breath.

Listening to Aunt Wang, this Xiao Ranran was originally a strong man, which was very much in line with Ziran's intentions. She doesn't want to pretend to be "Lin Daiyu" who cries and wipes tears every day.

"I heard that the royal mansion came up to ask for someone?" After settling down, Aunt Wang pulled her mother to sit aside and asked in a low voice. The mother nodded helplessly.

"That's a hell of a door! Alas, many girls and children were sent to the house well, and they were all spoiled to the point of not being human. The dead die, the sold sell, hasn't there been enough evil done in the royal family over the years? Now that he doesn't even let go of a girl as young as Ran Ran, it's really a loss of conscience. Why doesn't God have long eyes and let the wicked be in charge? Aunt Wang said with some righteous indignation, and her voice unconsciously raised a few points, so her words fell into Ziran's ears word for word.

Ziran smiled bitterly in her heart, she really had a thin life! Others have encountered infinite scenery, but they will once again fall into the tiger's den in Longtan.

It's just that she has no fear in her heart, but she plans that when her body is better, it will be time to temper it. When the time comes, the soldiers will cover up the water and soil.

Although she lived a domineering life in her previous life, she was not arbitrary and too cautious.

Now, since God has given her another life, she doesn't want to miss it.

The tears of the "mother" were already like pearls with broken threads, but she was afraid that she would take care of Ziran by the side, so she didn't cry.

"Aunt Wang, I've already thought about it, since you have worked hard to save Ran Ran's life, I definitely can't watch her enter the Wang's Mansion at a young age and give her life in vain." As the mother spoke, her tone lowered a little, and she almost whispered a few words in front of Aunt Wang's ear.

Aunt Wang sighed after hearing this, and said, "Yes, now it has to be like this." If you are blessed, maybe you can still run out of some creation, which is better than entering the Wang's Mansion and giving your life for no reason. It's just that I'll suffer you in the future. ”

After chatting softly with her mother, Aunt Wang got up and said goodbye.

Zi Ran's heart was clear, and from the conversation she heard, she knew that the "mother" had already decided where she was going in her heart. But judging from the embarrassment of the "mother's parents", I am afraid that it is not a good place either.

It's a pity that she can't let this bitter woman know her inner calmness, but if the "mother" really knows Ziran's current thoughts, she will be frightened.

On this day, my mother was busy sewing something all day, and she barely said a few words. The two meals I ate, in Ziran's opinion, couldn't be simpler. It seems that this family is really a little unsustainable.

After lying down all day, Ziran took a few naps in a daze. The pain on his body has not subsided, and occasionally he wants to turn over, but he can't help but grin his teeth. Ziran sighed secretly in her heart, with a different body, could it be that even her mind was a little weaker?

The night came quite early, but it was not until Ziran felt that she couldn't see her fingers, and then the "mother" lit a dim oil lamp and came to Ziran's bed. Under the swaying light and shadow, the mother's tired face is even more obvious. Zi Ran really felt some sympathy for this woman who might have been a peerless woman.

"Ran Ran", the mother shouted Ziran's name, and paused for a while. Ziran couldn't help but say nothing, she knew that her mother should be about to announce her future fate.

"Mother will take you to a place in two days." It seemed that she had made a lot of determination, and the mother finally spoke again. "Although my mother will not be able to take care of you by your side in the future. But compared to going to the royal family's mansion, if you are attentive, and with your little cleverness, it is unknown whether you will be able to make a little difference in the future. ”

Ziran didn't ask the "mother" where he was going. Because she saw that the "mother" seemed to have something to say, and what the future was, in Ziran's opinion, it didn't matter so much.

"However, before you leave, my mother wants to tell you about your life experience. You have asked your father many times where he has gone, but his mother has not told you. In fact, my mother doesn't know if your father is dead or alive now. ”

To Ziran's ears, it was just another clichΓ© story. It turned out that the "mother" was originally the daughter of the prefect, and because of the gentleman who loved teaching, he finally did not hesitate to abandon his rich future and eloped with him. The scholar vowed to get ahead and treat his mother well for the rest of his life.

When the "mother" was pregnant with Liujia, the scholar said goodbye and went to Beijing to take the exam, but he was never heard from since. The "mother" gave birth alone, and then, she lived by sewing and mending every day, and she was still thinking that her husband would be able to return home one day. She didn't expect the scholar to return to his hometown, she only hoped that he would return safely and live with their mother and daughter.

However, a year later, before the husband returned, there was a rare flood in his hometown, and the few belongings in the family, plus the two dilapidated houses, were all washed away. With Ran on her back, her mother reluctantly walked to this Sanyang Town, and has settled here since then.

In order to prevent her daughter from being bullied, she always claimed to be widowed. So, the mother and mother carried the identities of orphans and widows, and with the sympathy and support of their neighbors, they survived improvisedly in Sanyang Town.

"Your father's surname is Xue, and he personally named you 'Clear' before leaving, I just hope that you are a smart child who understands the world and can live a smooth and healthy life." Recalling the past, the "mother" was no longer crying, which shows how much pain she has hidden in her heart over the years.

Only then did Ziran know the real name of the little doll he had replaced - Xue Liran. It's okay, a new life, it's not bad to change a new name, and the name of Clear, Ziran still likes it a little, so I'll call myself Ran in the future!

"It's just that you have to promise your mother, no matter where you are in the future, what the situation is, don't change your name. If there is a day when your Father seeks you, you will know you. ”

"I remember", Ziran nodded and solemnly agreed to "mother". In fact, whether he will see the father he has never met in the future is not important in Ziran's opinion. Ziran speculated that the poor scholar might have long since lost his soul and was no longer alive.

It's just that in front of the bitter woman in front of her, Ziran can't bear to break her only glimmer of hope.
