1. Rebirth
Guo Mianmian gently leaned his ear to the window, and then heard intermittent voices in the room.
Is it a thief?
She couldn't help but clench the jar in her arms, and stood in front of the door with some uneasiness.
This is Liu Ci's residence, the weather is good today, Guo Mianmian is happy in his heart, thinking that it is better to send Liu Ci some pig's foot soup, maybe he can also know some thoughts.
With such a thought, Guo Mianmian carried the hot and fragrant pig's feet soup to find Liu Ci, but who knew that as soon as she walked to the door of Liu Ci's residence, she found something unusual.
Walking into the courtyard, Guo Mianmian faintly felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, Liu Ci's door was hidden, and someone was talking in a low voice. It's a man's voice, and Guo Mianmian is not familiar with it.
What happened to Xu Shiliuci?
Guo Mianmian thought like this, inevitably uneasy, his feet slipped, and an inconspicuous branch that fell in front of the door clicked and shattered, and Guo Mianmian, who barely stood still, did not notice that because of this sound, the Liuci house fell silent.
Guo Mianmian was shocked, and was about to quietly lean back to the door, but something she couldn't forget and couldn't think of happened.
All she saw was a flash of silver light, which rushed out of the room at an alarming speed, and in an instant it was pressed towards her neck.
Guo Mianmian fell down, the pain came faster than consciousness, and the funny thing was that the first thought that came to Guo Mianmian's heart was: The jar containing the pig's knuckle soup must have been overturned...
She opened her eyes with all her might, the blade was snow-white, stained with her own blood, and the masked man in black was slaughtered, glancing down at herself.
An inexplicable thought urged Guo Mianmian to look behind the man.
In the room, the man sat upright, not in a hurry or in a hurry, just looking at her coldly. Guo Mianmian fell in front of him, and in his eyes, it made people feel that it was not much different from chickens, ducks and livestock being slaughtered.
Guo Mianmian couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and his eyes did become foggy and a little gray.
I don't know how long it took, Guo Mianmian felt the light again.
"Oh!" "Wow, that's really high!"
"Haha, be careful!"
"It's so noisy..."Guo Mianmian opened her eyes with difficulty, but what she saw shocked her.
She was sitting on a sliding pole and was lifted high by the crowd. She was woken up by a few children, shouting around the pole, their tones full of envy and excitement.
For such a scene, Guo Mianmian is no stranger to it.
Guo Mianmian experienced this scene, and the familiarity made her feel frightened. She leaned over to look at the people under the sliding rod, and the people in front of her were intertwined with memories, which made Guo Mianmian wake up immediately.
She saw her father and mother, but the difference was that both of them were high-spirited, much younger than she remembered.
Among the crowd, Guo Mianmian saw the familiar old man at a glance.
The old man should have been dead for many years, but now he stood intact in front of him, looking at her tenderly.
And I clearly remember that early this morning, the old man took her into his arms with a smile and carefully clicked a red mole on her eyebrows, "Little birthday star, you want to grow up safely......"
"Grandmother......" Guo Mianmian couldn't help but read softly.
What's going on? How did you suddenly see your grandmother and daddy?
Guo Mianmian looked around, it was full of festive decorations, and the courtyard was full of relatives and friends of her parents, all of whom were happy.
It's all too familiar......
Guo Mianmian looked down at herself, and was speechless for a while.
She seems to have returned to her childhood, her body is small, and her hands have become small. A memory crashed into her heart, Guo Mianmian gasped, and actually turned over and jumped off the slide.
Everyone didn't expect it, "Little birthday star, don't you raise it high?" β
"Don't play, don't play." Guo Mianmian shook his hand innocently, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Today is her eighth birthday, Guo Mianmian remembers that she thought the skating rod was chic and interesting, and insisted on sitting on the skating rod and letting everyone raise themselves to play.
The result? One accidentally fell off the slide and got a scar on his face.
Guo Mianmian has regretted this countless times, but he never thought that he would have a chance to escape by chance.
"Hehe, you kid, you were so anxious to roll on the ground just now, and now you're clapping and leaving." A woman's clever smile came from behind her, and the man walked slowly towards Guo Mianmian, "Why did you suddenly change sex?" β
This voice Guo Mianmian couldn't be more familiar, but at this moment, he couldn't help but have sour corners of his eyes, Guo Mianmian couldn't help but moisten his eyes, pulled out a simple smirk and turned around, "Mother!" β
Hu's body is weak, even if today is a sunny day, she still has to wear a cloak, she saw this, and rubbed Guo Mianmian's little head, "Silly child..."
Guo Mianmian then got into her mother's arms and leaned on her. Hu Shi only thought that the little girl was idle and coquettish, and he didn't care, but Guo Mianmian felt sour in his heart.
The mother is now a slightly convex lower abdomen, just pregnant, the whole family is immersed in the joy of the mother will give birth, grandmother and father are even more careful, can make people...
Guo Mianmian clenched her little hands, her mother couldn't survive after all, in the end, it was one corpse and two lives...
Burying his head in Hu's arms, Guo Mianmian's voice choked, "Mother, I won't mess around in the future." β
Hu just chuckled, his eyes full of pity.
"I'll help you go back to rest." , Guo Mianmian sorted out her mood and helped Hu Shi into the house and returned to the room.
Coincidentally, the two passed by a firewood pile, Guo Mianmian had no intention of glancing, and saw a sickle standing next to the firewood pile, the knife light flashed, extremely sharp.
Guo Mianmian immediately fought a cold war.
Hu Shi noticed it and asked, "Mianmian, what's wrong?" β
The blade slashed across his neck, the pain was still circling, Guo Mianmian trembled a little, "Mother, we might as well move out of here." β
To be honest, Guo Mianmian would never have imagined that he would end up like this, even if he did everything.
Liu Cigui is a talent, high in Guojiawan, dignified and indifferent, and at the last moment, he doesn't even care about the most basic feelings.
And what are you thinking? Is it worth it? How sad is that......
Now that she has a chance to start over, she no longer wants to follow the old path of powerlessness and absurdity, and she must protect her parents and relatives.
Liu Ci, between you and me, there is no cause and effect.
Now that Guo Mianmian has just passed his eighth birthday, if you think about it carefully, it has been a few years since Liu Ci came to Guojiawan, as long as they don't see each other again, the relationship between the two will end here.
As long as you avoid seeing each other again, it's always good.
What's more, the mother's family will have one corpse and two lives because of the heavy snow in winter, and there is no way to invite a doctor to come up, even Wen Po can be rushed. If not, my mother wouldn't be gone.
Hu Shi was quite surprised by Guo Mianmian's sudden words, and only comforted him for a moment: "Mianmian, since you have passed your eighth birthday, you must no longer make a child's temper, what happened, just face it calmly, forget about moving." β
Hu's refusal fell to Guo Mianmian's expectations.
Moving is a big deal, she can't say why, adults just think it's nonsense and jokes.
But how can this ghost and god thing be spoken, and no one will necessarily believe it, but I am afraid that it will be regarded as dementia. If Guo Mianmian hadn't experienced such an experience herself, she wouldn't have believed it.
After thinking about it, Guo Mianmian said a little seriously: "I also want to move to the town to be closer to the medical center, so that it is more convenient for my mother to do anything when she gives birth." Otherwise, although our family lives at the foot of the mountain, after all, there are still some slopes, if the snow is heavy in winter, it is estimated that people will not be able to come over if they want to find a doctor. β
Hu Shi looked at his girl with a serious look, a little surprised, but Mianmian's words did have some truth.
secretly calculated, isn't his birth period just in the cold winter?
Hu Shi glanced at Mianmian and felt that his daughter seemed to have grown up and knew how to think about things.
This demon king of Guojiawan was the master of going crazy everywhere in the past, but now he knows how to be considerate.
In the end, it's the one who wants to be a sister, and she's really sensible.
"Don't think about it, adults will worry about these things, your little head, just take care of yourself."
Hu touched the back of Mianmian's head and said softly.
"Mother, how can I just think about myself...... Ahem, ahem..."
Guo Mianmian was anxious and coughed again and again.
"It's a little dry this day, my mother will boil you that winter pear water, and add some sugar to it. It's sweet and delicious, and it's good for your throat. β
Hu Shi patted Guo Mianmian on the back, and said softly, seeing that his daughter stopped coughing, he put down his heart and walked towards the kitchen.
Guo Mianmian reluctantly looked at her back, and didn't greet the guests until she couldn't see it.
β¦β¦
His eight-year-old birthday ceremony was busy all day, and at night, Guo Mianmian lay in bed thinking about what happened to him.
The pain of the blade cutting through his neck, Guo Mianmian can't forget it now, and what is deeper than this is Liu Ci's cold gaze.
After a few years of marriage, respect each other is like ice, cold ice.
Unexpectedly, he ended up like this.
Since he is a person who has gone through the ghost gate, he naturally doesn't want to go to that one again.
Now that she has a chance to start over, she no longer wants to follow the old path of powerlessness and absurdity.
Now I want to live a different life from before!
β¦β¦
The dew is heavy in late autumn, and the night is as cool as water.
Guo Mianmian, who had a lot of thoughts, casually put on a thin shirt and came out of the room.
The moonlight sprinkled down, plating a layer of silver on the trees in the yard, and Guo Mianmian bathed in the moonlight, looking forward to a new life.
"Mianmian, why did you come outside the house at night?"
The sudden voice made Guo Mianmian tremble, and he almost didn't fall off the steps, and when he turned around, he saw that it was his grandmother, and the furrows on his face under the cold moon were more obvious, and there was kindness in the old age.
"Because your mother doesn't move, you're angry with her?" Grandmother didn't feel naΓ―ve, so she sat side by side with Guo Mianmian on the steps, and put the jelly beans that she had pinched in her palm for a long time into her granddaughter's hand, Guo Mianmian felt that her palms were warm.
"Grandmother, how can I be angry with my mother. Didn't I look at the moon and come out to admire the moon? β
Guo Mianmian didn't want the old man to be too careful, so he said obediently.
My grandmother is old and old, and she can't hide anything from her.
Seeing Guo Mianmian pretending to be relaxed, not to mention how distressed he was, he used to have no heart and lungs, but now he doesn't know what's wrong, and suddenly he is so well-behaved.
"Mianmian, I heard your mother say that your throat is a little uncomfortable, so do you want to go to the town to find Lang Zhong to take a look? The scenery is good, there are springs and water everywhere, and your throat will not be uncomfortable. β
Hearing her grandmother's words, Guo Mianmian's mind suddenly opened.
That's right, Izumi!
Guo Mianmian's eyes lit up and he had an idea.
Seeing that Mianmian was silent, when she acquiesced, she got up and said, "Okay, Mianmian, the night is cold, you are already uncomfortable, if you get the wind cold again, it will be terrible, go back to the house early." β
Guo Mianmian waved her grandmother and was still sitting on the steps. This time she looked at the moon, the corners of her mouth already curled.
Since he is a plague god, he hides by himself, and if he doesn't see each other for the rest of his life, he won't have any more bad fate.
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, Guo Mianmian was waiting for Hu and Guo Orion in the courtyard.
"Mianmian, why did you get up so early? Still uncomfortable? Guo Orion hurriedly ran over and looked at his girl's face, which was still ruddy.
It's just that in the past, this girl couldn't afford to be on the sun, and she hadn't even seen the sun in the morning.
"Dad, mother, I have something to say to you."
Guo Mianmian's expression was firm, and he stood straight, and his originally delicate appearance showed some heroism.
"Ouch, what makes Mianmian so serious, tell my father."
"Don't you be serious, I dreamed of the grandfather last night, and the grandfather said that the one in your belly is the Wenqu star in the sky, and you will have a great future in the future!" Guo Mianmian said with a look of amazement.
As soon as these words came out, Hu Shi and Guo Lihu's faces were a lot more relaxed, and their eyes were also smiling.
Seeing the appearance of his father, Guo Mianmian continued: "But the grandfather said that my younger brother is short of water in his life, and he has to rely on water to have a smooth flow and avoid disasters, otherwise I am afraid that he will even have problems with birth." β
"Did you see anything?"
"Really, mother. Didn't I tell you yesterday that the town is close to the infirmary? That's because I dreamed a few days ago that you had a big belly covered in blood, and I thought about it for many days before I thought about moving to a place near the hospital. β
"Dad, mother, my grandfather is amazing. He was lying in the rocking chair with a pipe, and the room was full of white mist, and he knew my recent dream at a glance, and told me that it was because my brother's temperament was too heavy, and our family couldn't hold it down, and we had to rely on water to solve it! β
Guo Mianmian said eloquently, and compared the appearance of the old lady holding a pipe, which was somewhat similar to the old lady when he was alive, and Guo Orion was stunned when he heard it.
"The old lady even chose the location for us, saying that Yuxi Town is a good place, and there are hot springs in the town, so it is convenient for my mother to raise the baby with peace of mind!"
Guo Mianmian also knows how much her father and mother are looking forward to the child in her belly, whether it is true or not, she can't take risks.
When my grandmother heard this, she couldn't be excited, "Son, you see that the old man has given us a dream, or we will follow the old man's wish and move to Yuxi Town." β
Guo Orion has always been a filial master, and the Hu family also felt that this statement was somewhat credible, and the family made up their minds and decided to take time to go to Yuxi Town to have a look.
Taking advantage of the good weather, Guo Orion sent a few pairs of wolf skins stored at home to the town to buy, although the money was not much, but in the end there were twenty-five taels of silver.
As long as the sun is good, Guo Lihu will go to the town and run back and forth with the people who rent houses, and look at houses everywhere, after all, there is not much money, and it will naturally take more effort to buy a better house in the town.
