Chapter 1 Crossing

Next Chapter

Bai Mingxuan changed into a simple and capable suit, sat in front of the mirror and began to put on makeup.

Foundation, Block, Eyeshadow ...... Finish with lipstick.

Looking at herself who was becoming more and more beautiful in the mirror, Bai Mingxuan showed a satisfied smile and went out with her bag happily.

Today is a good day, the sky has swept away the haze for a few days, the blue is like a lake, and the breeze blows gently, bringing the fresh breath of the grass and trees, making people smile unconsciously.

Bai Mingxuan took a deep breath, looking at the cars in front of her, the voices of people were numerous, and she couldn't hide her excitement in her heart.

I have lived in a backward mountain village since I was a child, my parents died when I was a child, leaving only myself and my grandmother to depend on each other.

Now that I have graduated from college and found a good job, when I have saved enough money, I will take my grandmother out to live together, so that my grandmother can enjoy her happiness.

And today is my first day on the job.

On the first day of work, Bai Mingxuan wanted to arrive early to leave a good impression on everyone, so she got up early in the morning and walked on the road in a hurry.

Suddenly, the mobile phone rang, Bai Mingxuan took it out and saw that it was grandma's mobile phone number, early in the morning, what did grandma do to find herself? Thinking so, I quickly answered the phone.

"Hello? Grandmother. ”

"Hey, is it Mingxuan?" The phone came from the slightly hoarse voice of the neighbor Uncle Wang.

"It's me, what's wrong?" Bai Mingxuan was even more puzzled and slowed down.

"You...... Your grandma went. ”

What the?!

"I found it this morning, maybe I accidentally fell when I got up at night......"

The news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and she froze in place, unable to hear all the words behind her, and her mind went blank.

Just then, a heavy truck came speeding up.

"Bang-"

Bright red blood flew everywhere, and Bai Mingxuan's body was knocked into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.

......

Pain –

This was Bai Mingxuan's first feeling after regaining consciousness, the pain all over her body seemed to be crushed, and her head was so painful that it was about to split, and even breathing would involve the pain.

It took a while for Bai Mingxuan to recall what had happened.

"Grandma......" thought of grandma, and tears silently poured out again, and in a row, wet the pillowcase.

A pair of rough hands held her tightly, "Oh, grandma is here." Someone replied.

Grandmother? Grandma is still there?!

No, it's not grandma's voice! So who is that?

Bai Mingxuan frowned, opened her eyes with difficulty, and finally opened a slit in her eyes with great effort.

What greeted me was a dilapidated room, a little light penetrated through the windows covered with broken window paper, and spider silk hung on the beams and walls of the mud-tiled house, and a thick layer of ash accumulated on it, making it look gray.

There are only a few simple pieces of furniture in the house, which are mottled and look like they have been used for many years. The stiff quilt covers him, and the quilt cover can no longer see the original color.

An old woman sat in front of the bed, her hands clasped tightly and her eyes looking at her with concern.

She wore a faded turban, her face was full of wrinkles and vicissitudes, but she was in good spirits, wearing gray-blue clothes, her hands were covered with thick calluses and subtle wounds, and she looked like a good hand at farm work.

"Xuanxuan! Awake? What's uncomfortable? Tell grandma! ”

Xuanxuan? Are you calling me? Bai Mingxuan looked at the unfamiliar environment, strange people, her eyes were full of confusion, and she couldn't figure out why she was obviously hit by a car on the road, and how she woke up not in the hospital but in a dilapidated room.

Looking at the furnishings, I don't know where it is backward, and there are not even a few modern products. The clothes worn here are also strange, like the ancient people, and the words are different, and it is strange that they can understand.

Look at your hands again, they are dry and thin, and why have they become smaller?!

Outside the door walked a young woman of nearly thirty years old, with thin eyebrows and fine eyes, a goose egg face full of haggardness, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows full of traces of life, and wearing navy blue patched clothes.

As soon as she saw Bai Mingxuan, she rushed over, shouting "Xuanxuan" and "poor daughter" in her mouth, and tears fell like beads with broken threads.

When she had calmed down, the old woman asked her to bring a glass of water.

Bai Mingxuan's mind was in chaos, and with the help of the old woman, she got up and drank a bowl of water, and not long after, sleepiness hit her, and she fell asleep again.

Bai Mingxuan didn't sleep peacefully, and kept dreaming, first dreaming of her parents when she was a child, and then dreaming of her grandmother.

In the dream, my grandmother sat under the osmanthus tree in front of the house, smiling kindly, shaking a pu fan, fanning herself and repelling mosquitoes. As soon as the picture turned, he was carrying his schoolbag and was about to go out, when his grandmother called out to him, took his hand, stuffed a warm egg over, and told himself to eat on the way, hurry up and go to class and don't be late. The picture turned again, and it was I who received a call saying that my grandmother had passed away, and then I was hit by an out-of-control heavy truck......

Finally, the dream is a memory of a little girl from childhood to adulthood, the little girl has the same name as herself, also called Bai Mingxuan, is the granddaughter of the Bai family in Peach Blossom Village, and she is different from herself, her parents and relatives are there, father, mother, grandparents, uncles, aunts and brothers and sisters, a large family of relatives, lively and lively, but also because there are too many people, living a life of not enough food and clothing.

Through these memories, Bai Mingxuan judged that she lived in the countryside in ancient times. In ancient times, productivity was low, and as a farmer, it was not surprising that there was a lack of food and clothing.

Wait, isn't her grandmother the old woman she is today? The young woman she sees today is her mother?

What the hell is going on? Thinking about everything, and then thinking of my smaller hands, a terrible thought came to me - could it be that I had crossed over?!

I don't know how long it took, Bai Mingxuan was woken up by a burst of talking.

"Big sister, when will the second sister wake up? She's been sleeping for two days! A little girl's voice asked.

"It should be soon. I heard my mother say that Xuanxuan woke up once yesterday, drank a bowl of water and fell asleep again. Alas, falling from such a high place must have hurt badly, and it would be good to rest more. A gentle female voice replied.

The head was still very painful, Bai Mingxuan frowned and slowly opened his eyes.

The little girl immediately found out that Bai Mingxuan was awake, pointed at her happily, and patted the girl: "Big sister, second sister is awake!" ”

A gentle and beautiful girl came over and said in surprise: "Xuanxuan, you are awake!" Hungry? My sister will bring you breakfast! ”

Bai Mingxuan looked carefully, this little girl had a double ponytail, her eyes were big and bright, bright and bright, and her eyes were smart and lively.

The girl on the side has a thin layer of bangs on her forehead, and the hair at the back of her head is tied in a bundle without looseness, hanging low on her back, with thin eyebrows and fine eyes, and a gentle expression, coupled with a goose egg face, she looks like a young woman I see today.

According to memory, this little girl with a double ponytail should be Bai Mingxuan's sister Bai Mingwei, and the gentle girl is her sister Bai Minglan - no, now it's her sister and sister.

Bai Mingxuan is not at all comfortable with the matter of crossing.

Not long after Bai Minglan went out, she came back with a coarse porcelain bowl, which was missing a small opening, and it contained gruel made of beans and brown rice. She held the bowl in one hand, but the other was hidden behind her.
