Chapter 1 Crossing
I don't know how long I slept in my dream, Lin Manfang opened her eyes with difficulty. The sunlight from outside poured in through the wooden window lattice, and fell into the dimly lit room, making her dizzy.
Thinking is also dizzy, Lin Manfang is calm, and her eyes are adapted to the environment that is half sunny and half dark. When I closed my eyes and opened them again, I was surprised to find that the environment around me was not what I was familiar with.
The room can be said to be surrounded by four walls, the floor is dusty and dirty, the windows are papier-mâché, the window lattices are old wood, and a gust of wind creaks and blows. The walls around it are cracked mud walls, and wheat straw is still leaking from them. The bed I slept on was a thick black wooden bed, the rough bedding was covered with patches, and the background color was embroidered with the embroidery of a large red carp, but fortunately, the pulp was very clean. At the head of the bed was a wooden cabinet with a broken leg, barely supported by two bricks, with a notched earthen porcelain cup on it.
What is this place? Although the quilt was full of the fragrance of sunlight, and although the room was clean, Lin Manfang still wanted to get up and quickly fled from this place.
The first thing that came to mind was that she might be sold by traffickers to become a daughter-in-law in a rural village in the west, and this terrifying thought haunted her.
Isn't. A lot of things are coming, isn't she just thrown off the car on the way to see a scumbag in a city in the west?
Tears ran down the corners of his eyes. Lin Manfang lived a very smooth life until the age of twenty-four, born in a well-off family, although her qualifications are ordinary, her parents are not demanding, and her life is simple and happy. Admitted to university, a beautiful campus romance, because of his love for field life, after graduation, he chose to go to the mountain village where his hometown grandmother is located to be a college student village official.
The pain came on his twenty-fourth birthday. found that her boyfriend, who was a graduate student in an ancient city in the west, split her legs, and infinitely magnified her shortcomings to the mistress. She was angry and angry, her liver and intestines were broken, and she was unwilling to pay for four years. Crying, begging, it is inevitable to ask for a result, and the so-called result is that I had a car accident on the way to the west, and now I am lying in this strange and broken place.
Lin Manfang calmed down, and when she thought of that scumbag, she still hated it in her heart.
Suddenly, a high-pitched, desolate, and somewhat hoarse female voice sounded, with irrepressible anger and contempt in her tone.
"If you die, you will die, and if you die, you will be clean. When she was a girl, I was worthy of her as a stepmother in Lao Chen's family, raised her, ate and drank well, and was worried that outsiders would look down on me as a stepmother. When she was older, she was promised to my mother and nephew, and when she entered the Wang family, the Wang family never treated her badly, and she was still worshiped as the eldest daughter-in-law after so many years. If she had been left in a big family, she would have been divorced a long time ago. The blessings of the sea will not be enjoyed, a touch of the neck hanged, which one can be complained? ”
Lin Manfang's eardrums were shaken, and the sound was like a sharp weapon scraping his ears, and it made people have a toothache.
"Isn't this the reason what my mother said, it stands to reason that the Wang family is worthy of the eldest sister. In this life, who has not had a quarrel between the two of them, and their teeth still touch their tongues when eating. She has such a big temperament, and when she dies, this is not only a slap in the face of the Wang family, but also a slap in the face of our old Chen family. A woman answered, her voice soft and melodious, but she could hear the schadenfreude in her mouth.
"She's bigger, bigger than God. Haven't you seen it, she didn't obey him when she promised him to the Wang family, I know that she is thinking about Xu Xiucai in her heart, and Xu Xiucai likes her, and she is a natural lowly embryo and wants to be a talented lady. Dreaming! Xu told the Wang family that I hurt her, I can hurt her, I hurt my mother and nephew, I am sorry for Baozhu. I begged your uncle with a face, my aunt, she is dead, how can I have the face to go to Lao Wang's house in the future. My miserable nephew. The old voice sounded again, and finally howled, accompanied by crackling applause.
"Mother, don't be like this, what can you do if you get angry. Mother, you drink saliva. …… Slow down, I'll give you a thrash. The soft voice sounded again.
"Unmarried to her father, married to her husband, since she chose to die, and died so disgracefully, don't blame me, the old father, for ignoring the old feelings, whether she dies or not, the old Chen family will not have this daughter in the future." An old, muddy male voice sounded, with an irresistible majesty.
Lin Manfang forgot about the pain for the time being, it was wrong to eavesdrop on other people's words, but this is not eavesdropping, who made them so loud, these words were equivalent to a strong wind blowing into her ears.
After the majestic male voice sounded, no one spoke anymore, and there was silence for a while. Lin Manfang's eyelids were heavy, and she wanted to continue to sleep next to the pillow, but suddenly as if she remembered something, she lifted the quilt and sat up.
Just now, I just listened to people and didn't pay attention to what was said, but now I think about it carefully. What hanged him, divorced his wife, showed his talent, did not marry his father, and married his husband. What is this? Lin Manfang has lived so long and has never heard of similar languages, and these disappeared languages are only available in ancient TV dramas.
Is this a TV series or what? There's nothing like filming a TV series, and it's impossible to shoot in such a place. In a flash of inspiration, Lin Manfang's eyes widened, and she would not cross by herself. Who did he cross over, could it be the woman who was about to be hanged by someone who was about to be hanged by Hugh just now, but it was really sad.
This idea can be described as a bolt from the blue, and it is even more heartbroken than finding out that her boyfriend is splitting her legs.
"Second sister, second sister is awake, second sister is awake." A crisp child's voice pierced the brief silence.
Before Lin Manfang could react, a group of people rushed in hulala, standing in front of the bed or looking at her with surprise, sadness, or love.
Seeing that they were all dressed as ancients, Lin Manfang was sure that she had crossed over 100%.
"My son, Xuejiao, you woke up, but you are scared to death...... a woman walked up, sat on the bed, and hugged Lin Manfang and choked.
What Xue Jiao, it turns out that she is called Xue Jiao in this world. The woman in front of her was dressed as a peasant, wearing a washed white royal blue cardigan with trim. There is a nest of green silk on his head, and a plain silver hairpin is inserted. It seems that this woman is the mother of the deity.
When she woke up, she didn't have time to observe herself, and now she was hugged by a woman, Lin Manfang lowered her head and saw her tiny hands and feet, and her tiny body, like an eleven or twelve-year-old little girl who had not developed.
"Sister-in-law, don't cry, didn't Xuejiao wake up? You're crying and scaring the child. Behind her, a woman with a long face in a blue dress stepped forward and persuaded her, her voice was so loud that Li Manfang was dizzy. Then he turned his head and glanced at the girl with tears in her eyes behind her and said, "Xueru, your sister just woke up, you go get her some water to drink." The girl named Xueru answered, turned around and walked out.
"Third aunt, I'll go with the eldest sister to bring water to the second sister." A crisp child's voice followed, and then he took the earthen porcelain bowl with a gap on the bedside table. It was the boy who first found out that Xue Jiao woke up just now, and he looked like he was only five years old, and he was the youngest brother.
After a while, Xue Ru came in with a porcelain bowl with a gap. Xue Jiao looked at her steadily, her sister in this world was about fourteen years old, wearing coarse green clothes, the patches were cleverly covered by embroidered peonies, her eyes were big, her skin was white, but her face was vegetable, and her long hair was a little yellow. Xue Ru was stared at by Xue Jiao, and when she thought of her sister's suffering, her nose was sour, and tears came down again.
Xue Jiao's mother saw Xue Ru crying, and her eyes turned red again. The youngest boy couldn't help but choke when he saw his mother and sister crying.
"Look, Xuejiao woke up, what a happy event." The blue-clothed woman who was called the third aunt by the boy snatched the bowl in Xue Ru's hand and handed it to Xue Jiao's mouth: "Xue Jiao, come, the third aunt feeds you water." Xuejiao was also thirsty, so she drank a few sips from the bowl.
"It's good to be able to drink water, sister-in-law, don't worry, Xue Jiao's body is guaranteed to be a big beauty after she bumbles and leaves no scars. Yes, your family is close to each other, I'll go to the room to have a look. The third aunt shoved the bowl into Xueru's hand, twisted her body and left.
Lin Manfang, no, it should be Xue Jiao who saw the so-called mother, sister, and younger brother in front of her, thinking of her parents in another world who would be separated forever, and couldn't help but feel sad, and tears slid down like beads with broken threads.
"It's all useless to make you suffer. Don't worry, even if your mother dies, she won't let you change your parents. Xue Jiao's mother stroked Xue Jiao's hair, and her tears became more and more uncontrollable.
Swap parents? Xue Jiao didn't understand a word, but she knew that now was not the time to ask.
"Xuejiao, do you still have a headache?" Mother asked as she pulled out the handkerchief from the outer pocket of her cardigan and wiped her eyes.
"It doesn't hurt anymore". Xue Jiao saw the loving eyes of her mother in front of her, and her heart churned with indescribable feelings, and her subconscious answer was not painful.
"Mother, isn't Xue Jiao awake now? Don't be sad and be ...... It's a mess again. Xue Ru went up to the room outside, although she tried her best to comfort her mother, but when she saw her sister's sallow face, her eyes were still red after all.
"Mother......" the younger brother director shouted.
The mother looked at the three sensible children, and was sad again, but in the end she held back her tears, flattened Xuejiao, and pulled the corners of the quilt.
