Chapter 2

==Chapter 2==

The rain has been falling incessantly since the morning, pounding on the eaves and making a tinkling sound until the evening.

It was wet everywhere, and there was a hint of icy coolness in the air.

It's already spring, but it's like winter again. Although the spring rain is like oil, it is no less than a disaster for the farmers who are shaving in the fields, and for those whose clothes are not thick enough, and there is no charcoal fire for heating, and the house leak is on a rainy day.

At this time, in a wing room located in the corner of the Lingyuan in the northwest corner of Xiao Mansion, a heart-rending low cough sounded continuously, which made people can't help but worry about this person.

For more than a year, this kind of low cough will always sound from time to time, and people who pass by at first will look sideways, and most of them can turn a blind eye after a long time, at most they will say "That Yueji's tuberculosis has started again".

The room was small in size, with a dilapidated grayish-yellow screen at the entrance, behind which was a large box bed with a blue draperium. The curtains are already very worn, with colorful patches on them, and they are dusty, even so, in this cold early spring, they can also keep out the cold.

In the messy and worn bedding on the bed lay a woman, who was about thirty years old, with a pale complexion, a thin body, obvious bloodshot eyes, and a white skin with chipped lips that had been cracked by long-term dryness. The whole face is completely slimmed out, and a pair of godless eyes appear to be larger.

Who would have thought that this woman who described her withered was the dancing girl Yueniang who swept the entire Chang'an City more than ten years ago? Some people may know, but no one can match the woman in front of her with the Yueniang who has a beautiful appearance like a flower and a 'Hu Xuan Dance' that has made many dignitaries fall in love with her.

The dancing girl Yueniang is like a gust of wind, blowing, and disappears without a trace.

At that time, many people speculated that this moon mother probably let which nobleman be included in the back house, of course, it was only speculation. There are countless dancers in many song and dance workshops in Chang'an City, and Yueniang is just one of them, maybe it is like an epiphany blooming that makes people amazing for a while, but it can't make people do more souvenirs, it's just a momentary chat after tea and dinner.

Another heart-rending cough sounded, and a girl with a double hanging bun hurried to the low cabinet next to the bed, first looking at the cold water in the tea bowl, and then reaching out to touch the crockpot next to her.

Cold.

Looking at the woman on the couch who was coughing breathlessly, she cried helplessly for a while.

The woman on the couch glanced at her little daughter sadly, and wanted to comfort her, but she couldn't help herself. Coughing and coughing, two crystal tears ran down the thin face.

It's all her fault! If she hadn't been confused for a while, she wouldn't have fallen into such a situation now, let alone her two poor daughters.

In fact, if Yueji was to choose, she wouldn't want to live for a long time, but she was reluctant to let her two lovely daughters of ice and snow. In this kind of cannibalistic mansion, how can a child who is not recognized by her father and has no mother to protect her survive, she can only drag her seriously ill body for a day.

The cotton curtain was lifted in a corner, and soon it was closed again, and a girl entered.

She looks like she is about ten years old, wearing a shabby ginger jacket skirt, her hair is combed and her hair hangs down, her small face is big with a palm, her pointed chin is pointed, and her eyebrows and eyes are delicate. She was not tall, thin and slender, but she carried a shabby food box that did not match her physique, and people couldn't help but have a sense of worry that her slender arms would not be able to bear the burden.

When she walked in, she placed the food box on the floor, then opened it and took it out. Two black stoneware jugs, one large and one small, a plate of pickles, a plate of green vegetables that have lost their color, and a plate of coarse noodles and steamed buns. She laid them out on the low table in front of the couch, then went to fetch a bowl of tea, poured a bowl of water from a jug she had brought back, and drank it slowly as she went to serve the woman on the couch.

Seeing this, the crying girl on the side showed a smile, ran to her side and said, "Sister, you got hot water, I was about to pour some hot water for A-Niang to drink, but the water was cold." The girl's thin voice had a hint of crying in it, which seemed extremely cowardly and aggrieved.

"I went to the big kitchen to get some food, and I got some boiling water by the way."

Compared to the crying girl, the girl in the ginger jacket is much more poised than her. If outsiders are present, they can find that the two girls are strikingly similar, not only in appearance, but also in the same age and physique, as if carved out of a mold, but the charm between the eyebrows is different. One is calm and calm, the other is timid, and it seems that he is not very bold.

When the girl in the ginger dress saw that the woman had finished drinking the water, she placed the tea bowl on the low table beside her, and took out a blue cloth from her bosom and wiped the corner of her mouth.

Tsukihime could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and she smiled weakly at her eldest daughter, "Danan, thank you for your hard work." ”

Da Nan didn't speak, went to the low table to set the meal, poured out the gruel in the big clay pot, divided it into three bowls, and served Yueji with the gruel to drink the porridge.

Yueji swallowed the gruel with difficulty, and at the same time instructed her little daughter Xiaonan to eat first. The weather is cold, and their residence is far away from the kitchen, so after a while, the originally hot food is already warm, and if it is delayed, it will be all cold, and when the time comes, I am afraid that it will hurt the spleen and stomach.

was originally a compatriot, but Xiao Nan was born a circle smaller than Da Nan, and she was weak and sick since she was a child, and Yueji didn't bother to think about it. On the contrary, the eldest daughter, Da Nan, has been in good health since she was a child, so she has to take on more responsibilities than her younger sister. For example, taking care of a seriously ill mother, such as taking care of a timid and crying sister.

Yuehime was not feeling well, and she couldn't eat after drinking the gruel, so she looked at her worriedly, and went to the low table to eat her own meal.

The food is not delicious, although the amount is sufficient, but it is not nutritious. Ah Niang's body was already weak, the weather was cold last winter, and the charcoal fire was limited, Ah Niang fell into the wind chill in order to cling to her and her sister. The wind and cold finally got better, and it caused the cough disease in the past, so that I couldn't afford to get sick and was sick for a whole winter.

The situation of the three of them in the Xiao family was already embarrassing, and when Ah Niang was in good health in previous years, as the dancing girl of Sile Pavilion, although the distribution of the money could not make the mother and daughter worry-free, they would also be able to live. Since Ah Niang's body collapsed, their situation has become more and more difficult.

If you can't dance, you can only serve as a handyman in the courtyard. How much can a miscellaneous servant have for his daily use, if it weren't for the fact that everyone in this courtyard knew that the identity of the mother and son was unusual, they would have been kicked out of the Xiao family's mansion, and even so, no one would look at them differently from the mother and daughter, at most, they would not starve to death, let alone ask a doctor for medicine, Yueji's illness would have been dragged out day after day and year after year. Up to now, she is terminally ill, and Yueji knows it in her heart, and she knows it in her heart.

She remembered that her mother had died on this rainy spring, and that the day she died was as rainy as today.

Thinking of this, Da Nan tightened his thin little hands, and suddenly couldn't swallow.

"Danan, are you not feeling well? Come over and let A-Niang see the wound on your head. ”

Seeing her daughter frowning and unable to swallow, Tsukihime remembered that the child was pushed down and injured his head a few days ago because of a dispute with someone.

That Yun Ji is really, Da Nan is just a girl under the age of ten, and she actually cares about a child. But I don't complain about others, if it weren't for her inability to be a mother and couldn't protect her children, why would she let her children suffer like this in vain.

Thinking of this, Tsukihime couldn't help but tears in her eyes and sobbed again.

Da Nan obediently went to Ah Niang's side and let Ah Niang look at her head injury.

That day, the big girl was injured and dizzy, but the moon was scared stupid, but fortunately, the god cherished the hard-working people, and the child did not have any problems, and after waking up, he did not say anything uncomfortable, and the moon Ji was relieved. Looking at it again today, the swollen bag has also disappeared a lot, and Yueji asked her daughter again if she was uncomfortable, and if she got the answer, she carefully wrapped the strip of cloth on her head back.

"You have to eat more, A-Niang is not in good health, and your sister is timid, so you have to take care of her more. If something happens to you again, A-Niang doesn't know what to do. ”

Yueji cried heartbroken, and Xiao Nan cried when she saw A-Niang crying. Da Nan was upset for a while, stood up and said that I was fine, and went to clean up the dishes on the low table.

Sent the food box back to the big kitchen, and when I came back, I saw that Xiao Nan had fallen asleep next to Yuehime, and Yuehime was also half-closed and seemed to be asleep. Da Nan bolted the door with a light movement, and went to a small room on the right.

This cottage is small in size, with a bed on the left and right, a low cabinet in the middle, and nothing else. This is the room of the big girl and the little girl.,But the little girl has been sticky since she was a child.,Most of the time she sleeps with the moon hime.,It's an empty room for the big girl to be alone.。

Due to the dampness of the rainy day, there was a strong musty smell in the house. Da Nan ignored it, took off his shoes and went to the bed, and after lying down, he put a thin futon on his body.

Xiao Jiuniang didn't expect that she would come back to life and return to her childhood.

On the day she came back, Xiao Jiuniang was stunned when she opened her eyes, if it weren't for the face engraved in the depths of her soul in her distant memory, she couldn't believe that she had actually lived again.

Two days later, Xiao Jiuniang was nursing a head injury while being familiar with various things, only to find out that she had actually returned to her own mother Yueji before she died.

Is it for her to experience the pain of losing her mother again?

In her previous life, Xiao Jiuniang was not good at medicine, but she learned some poison techniques by chance, and she also let herself understand some pharmacology.

Yueji is no longer cured, when she gave birth, because of the twins, she fell into dystocia, and luckily survived the two children, but she has hollowed out her entire body, so many years for the sake of her two daughters, she has been strong, and because Xiao Nan has been weak and hard work since she was a child. Everyone thinks that Yueji's health has become worse and worse in recent years, only Xiao Jiuniang knows that Yueji has long been strong on the outside, and the previous illnesses are just the inner scabies gradually revealed, and now it is just dragging the days.

After understanding this qiē, Xiao Jiuniang was devastated, but she had experienced so much in her previous life, which was enough for her to take it lightly.

It's a long time since you got used to it, shouldn't you? That feeling of having more than enough heart and not enough power!

No, how can you get used to it!

In her previous life, from the daughter of a lowly slave who lost her mother and father without a name, to making the entire Xiao family jealous of her, Xiao Jiuniang paid countless efforts and costs, and no one knew what she had experienced. Many people are afraid of her, and secretly scold her for being a poisonous woman, but on the surface, they are only willing to say more.

Xiao Jiuniang has been standing on a high place for too long, but she didn't expect that when she closed her eyes and opened her eyes again, she would be beaten back to her original form and return to the most difficult moment of her childhood.

Thinking back to what happened when she was a child, Xiao Jiuniang couldn't calm down for a long time.

As long as she is unwilling, as long as she wants to come out, as long as she wants to get her own thing, the crisis and suppression will come head-on, until she completely tramples herself to death.

She hasn't forgotten that her name is Da Nan at this time, and she is just a child with no name and no surname.

The surname Xiao is still far away from him.
