Chapter 1: The First Awakening
"Little sister, little sister! Look, my little sister's eyelids are moving! β
Wu Nuandong was dizzy, and wanted to raise his hand to rub his forehead but was very weak, and then there was a flurry of footsteps in his ears, accompanied by a deep but slightly hoarse voice, "Is Nuan Nuan awake?" β
"Dad, little sister is awake, Nuan Nuan is awake!"
She moved slightly, only to find that her soft body was tightly surrounded by a pair of arms that were not thick but very powerful. Listening to the immature but excited tone of the person next to him, Wu Nuandong couldn't help but open his eyes hard.
However, when I saw the scene in front of me, I was dumbfounded by a buzz in my head.
In the middle of winter, the ground is full of frost and white, and there is a thin layer of white snow hanging on the crisp branches, and the few trees have been gnawed so that there is no bark left, not to mention the weeds on the ground, mixed with the gray-black snow water, have been uprooted.
Needless to say, this is a disaster year for people who are dying of hunger.
Not to mention, the ragter-claded, unwarm, yellow-skinned victims fell to the ground in all directions, sighing and sighing.
Wu Nuandong confirmed that she had crossed over, sadly the day before the wedding.
In front of him was a burly man about thirty years old, the man was dressed in short clothes, and the light cotton clothes were not warm in the middle of winter, relying on the man's strong and good bones. The wheat-colored face is not handsome but very righteous and attractive, the face is tight, and the eyes are slightly red. Wu Nuandong felt miserable in her heart, and when she looked up, she lowered her head indifferently, which made her miss the concern and worry in the man's eyes, and only saw the frowning brows of this man who seemed to be a relative.
Wu Nuandong faintly remembered that the person who hugged her after getting up called the man in front of him his father, and called himself his little sister. The corners of her mouth tightened, did she not only cross over to become a poor victim, but also met patriarchal relatives.
Her heart was so sad that she didn't want to cross over, she wanted to go home, even if it wasn't for her best friend's fiancΓ©. The elders of the family should be enjoying her blessings, so why did they let her wear it.
"Wu Nuandong, don't you admit your mistake this time? The naughty ones are gone, if it's still like this, save dinner! The man's tone was heavy, his eyes were cold and hard, and then he quickly turned away without mercy.
"Daddy......" The voice behind him sounded again, and when he saw that the man didn't stop for half a step, he sighed heavily, and gently blew the wound on Wu Nuandong's forehead, "Nuan Nuan is good, Dad must be too angry, Nuan Nuan will admit his mistake, big brother will help you persuade Dad." β
His face was swept by the warm breath, and his cold skin immediately had goosebumps, Wu Nuandong noticed the severe pain in his head, struggled to get up, and touched it, "Hiss!" He gasped, touched a slimy thing, and raised his hand to see that it was blood and snow fused together, and it turned out that the cold snow blocked the wound and prevented the blood flow from speeding up.
"Little sister, don't touch it!" Wu Chunxi held Nuan Dong's little hand and wiped the blood stains on her hands with the clean snow on the side. chattered in his mouth, "Nuan Nuan, you should also let people save some snacks, fortunately it's okay, otherwise where can I go to the doctor, I can't even eat at home...... Alas, forget it, you don't understand this either! β
The boy was no more than twelve years old, and his face was a rare Qingyue, but he talked a lot but was not annoying, and his blue robe was white, and the patches were a little rough, and he actually wore a maverick taste on him. Holding Wu Nuandong and sitting on his lap, a thick straw mat was placed under his buttocks to prevent the snow from staining his clothes.
Wu Nuandong lowered her eyes numbly, seeing that the size of the bones in her palms was only about four or five years old, and her small hands were black and thin like chicken feet, and she knew that she had not been well cared for at a glance.
"Nuan Nuan, go and apologize to your father." Wu Chunxi swallowed the next words, otherwise his father might not know where to hide and hold the small handkerchief left by his mother and be silently sad.
Who doesn't know that the martial arts family has three treasures, the grandfather treasure, the daughter-in-law treasure, and the little sister treasure. Of course, the last treasure is the most important treasure of the martial family, if it weren't for that, how could the family go out to find medicinal materials for the little sister in this barren mountain and wilderness. This is a disaster year when I can't even eat, the family has been hungry for a day and a night, even if they are preferring the little sister, I'm afraid this time there is nothing to be done. Fortunately, God has eyes and let the little sister wake up, otherwise the family will be in a slump.
It's just that...... Secretly glanced at Wu Nuandong's wooden little face, and Wu Chunxi's handsome and thin face hung a trace of worry. Why do you think that my little sister is a little stupid, isn't it stupid to kowtow and fall!
I really couldn't bear to force Wu Nuandong to apologize, Wu Chunxi asked quietly, "Nuan Nuan, let's go back to the broken temple to find Sister-in-law Tian and Shanhe!" "The mountains and rivers are too sick, and I don't know if I can survive the winter. Immediately, as if he was afraid that Wu Nuandong would misunderstand, he hurriedly explained, "It's too cold here, and your body will freeze." β
Freeze bad? I'm afraid that the cold won't go bad. Wu Nuandong pursed the corners of his mouth silently, if only he could freeze her back to modern times at once.
Wu Nuandong is not a person who is greedy for enjoyment, she doesn't dislike the situation at this time because of poverty, she just misses the old people at home too much, and now this crossing, she is walking neatly, but what should the relatives who really care about her do? The white-haired person sends the black-haired person, and who can afford it.
Go home! Definitely going home!
At this moment, Wu Nuandong had no other thoughts, he just wanted to kill himself silently.
Anyway, this adult doesn't seem to care about the little girl in her predecessor, it seems that in addition to the eleven or twelve-year-old boy in front of her, this little bun with the same name and surname as her is still not loved by her father, and she is dead, and it makes no sense for her to survive instead of her, if she dies, she can wear it back, so as not to worry her family.
"Nuan Nuan, don't talk nonsense in the temple and don't provoke Sister-in-law Tian and Shanhe, my brother will go find you something to eat, he won't come back too late, and your third brother will accompany you." Wu Chunxi slowly coaxed, hoping that Wu Nuandong would not say anything to make Sister-in-law Tian dissatisfied.
After all, Wu Nuandong has lived for thirty years, how could she not hear the words in the young man's mouth, she pursed her lips, and wanted to feel that she didn't need to pick a child, the little bun couldn't even say more about people who didn't want to see dogs, she couldn't be her own annoyance!
In fact, Wu Nuandong really thinks too much, the Wu family regards Wu Nuandong as a treasure, where do they dare to dislike her, looking forward to several generations of only this one girl, and she lost her mother early, so she will be arrogant and arrogant, not to mention scolding, even roaring softly, the old man doesn't do it. Wu Nuandong's status is even higher than that of the great-grandson of the old man of the martial family, Wu Shanhe.
Tian's sister-in-law - Tian Huilan originally didn't care that her child was ignored by her great-grandfather, but Wu Nuandong was too arrogant and willful, and even repeatedly bullied the sick mountains and rivers, and hurt people, and these were all perfunctory by the old man of the martial arts family because the child was still young, how could she not let Tian Huilan secretly complain, but because of Wu Nuandong's status in the martial family, she silently swallowed the bitter water into her stomach, and naturally she didn't like Wu Nuandong.
Wu Nuandong didn't have the heart to explore these truths now, she was full of how to die quietly, and finally decided that if she wanted to die, she didn't look amazing, so she could only not eat or drink, anyway, the rations were difficult in the disaster year, she saved a mouthful of no score and let her brother who was good to the original owner eat more, which can be regarded as her dedication to the martial arts.
All this was well considered, and Wu Nuandong implemented it, and he really didn't drink a sip of water. The thin boy, who was not a few years older than her, burst into tears.
Wu Qiuzhi coughed while holding the broken bowl and begged bitterly, "Nuan Nuan, third brother please, take a sip, just take a sip." The red flames dyed the nine-year-old boy's face pink, but he could still see the blue and gray in his complexion, obviously nine years old, but not much taller than the five-year-old Wu Nuandong.
Wu Shanhe, a five-year-old boy nestled in the corner of the broken temple, had a high fever, and vaguely heard Wu Qiuzhi's words, and barely opened his eyes, "Uncle Qiuzhi, the mountains and rivers are thirsty...... Mountains and rivers thirst ......"
Wu Qiuzhi looked at the steaming water in his hand, and then looked at the small mountains and rivers lying there that were a little delirious, frowned in embarrassment, and finally relented, "Mountains and rivers are ......."
