Chapter 1: The Tragic Crossing
On the seventh day of July, the light rain kept falling, and legend has it that this day was the day of the reunion of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl in the sky, and the rain was the tears of the Weaver Girl.
And in Nanshan Village in the northeast of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a little girl named Bai Ling has just been dismissed today, and she has locked herself in the house and cried for a day, and no one can open the door.
In the east room, an old lady in her fifties, with inverted triangular eyes, said a lot, and didn't care that her daughter-in-law was about to be out of breath, and looked at her son who was anxious around her daughter-in-law with disgust.
"Third child, hurry up and clean up for Bai Ling, and follow me to the town. When you get the money back, your mother will give you ten ...... Five taels of silver, that's it. Old Lady Bai said conclusively.
"Mother, just let our family go! No matter how poor I am Bai Sanshu, I will not sell my sons and daughters! Bai Sanshu shouted in pain.
"It's capable, it's just been a separation, so you dare not listen to the old lady, right?"
The old lady stared at the triangular eyes, picked up the broom on the edge of the kang and beckoned to Bai Sanshu.
"If it weren't for your eldest brother's brotherhood, this good thing could fall on your three houses? You don't pee on yourself, a sick family, don't sell that girl, what do you eat and drink? What's the matter, your big girl shamelessly took the initiative to sell herself, and the cheap goods that were returned to her relatives couldn't be sold? ”
Bai Sanshu's heart hurt when he was poked, and he didn't dodge when he was beaten, he always protected his sick and weak daughter-in-law, looking at his brother who was out of the way, but there was despair in his eyes.
"Don't say anything, I'll take Bai Ling to the town, I don't have to pack up my clothes or anything, can I be a young grandmother without her wearing gold and silver?" The old lady Bai was tired after a few beatings, threw the broom casually, and walked on tiptoe towards the West House.
In the west room, a thin figure was lying at the door, and when he heard the old lady Bai's shout, his face was pale and terrible.
Plugged the door with her backhand, covered her mouth and cried for a while, and in despair she untied her belt and put it on the beam.
"The head of the house, can't!" Bai Liu shouted anxiously and coughed violently.
"Daughter-in-law, don't worry, I'm going to stop my mother, let's not sell our daughters, don't sell them!" Bai Sanshu was also panicked, dragging his lame legs and running in the direction of Westinghouse.
The old lady Bai couldn't push the door open, kicked the door angrily, and scolded in her mouth: "Little hoof, don't you open the door quickly?" Sending you to be a young grandmother, that's a great blessing, don't be embarrassed, come out quickly, and follow me to the town. ”
The little girl in the room trembled, closed her tearful eyes, and shouted: "Daddy, my daughter is not filial, and I will repay you for your kindness in the next life." ”
As he spoke, he kicked the stool under his feet and hung himself in the air, with a pained expression on his face and a look of fear in his eyes.
When Bai Sanshu rushed over, he happened to hear his daughter's words, and he was so frightened that he banged on the door and shouted vigorously to tell his daughter not to do stupid things.
Old Lady Bai didn't expect that her granddaughter, who had always been timid and afraid of things, would dare to seek death, and she suddenly panicked and shouted: "Big tree, come quickly, Bai Ling has hanged himself." ”
Bai Dashu's face stiffened in the east room, and he quickly walked towards the west house, and followed Bai Sanshu to knock on the door.
Bai Liu, who was lying on the kang, heard the words of the old lady Bai and shouted: "My hard-working daughter! ”
Then, Bai Liu's eyes rolled and he fainted, and a pair of children were frightened to cry.
However, no one knew that an orange light suddenly flashed in the gloomy room, and the little girl hanging on the beam of the room, her stiff body moved slightly, and her clear eyes were no longer the godless of the past, but full of confusion.
Bai Ling didn't have time to observe the environment, and found that he had difficulty breathing, so he hurriedly pulled the belt hanging from his neck, trying to buy time for his rescue.
However, there was nothing around, and Bai Ling's thought of stepping on an object to support his body could only rest, and his mind was quickly thinking about how to save himself.
Pulling the belt at the back of the neck with one hand, letting the body go up, to avoid the rope strangling the neck, and groping the rope under the neck with the other hand, Bai Ling's eyes lit up, and he tried his best to pull the slipknot on his head.
But he couldn't breathe well, and he had to support his body with one hand, where did Bai Ling have the strength to pull it open?
"Bang!"
The door fell to the ground, Bai Sanshu was limp and couldn't support his body, and the whole person fell to the ground.
Seeing that her daughter was struggling, Bai Sanshu didn't care about the pain in her legs, gritted her teeth and got up, hugged Bai Ling, who was rolling her eyes, and held her up.
"Big brother, save people!" Bai Sanshu looked at Bai Dashu at the door with difficulty, and shouted loudly.
Bai Dashu narrowed his eyes, strode forward, and untied the belt around Bai Ling's neck.
"Bang!"
There was another sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, this time it was Bai Sanshu who failed to hold Bai Ling, and the two fell to the ground together.
"My money!" Old lady Bai slapped her thigh in distress, pointed at Bai Ling and scolded: "Sure enough, it's a money-losing goods, if you want to die, you will wait until the little owner is gone, and then you will go to the funeral!" Just dying at home like this, this is looking for bad luck! ”
Bai Sanshu looked at the girl with a miserable face, and felt distressed, and when he heard the words of the old lady Bai, his eyes were even more red.
"Mother, this is my own daughter, and I am also your own granddaughter!" Bai Sanshu roared, like a trapped beast in the mountains and forests, revealing infinite sadness.
The old lady Bai stared at Bai Sanshu with an ugly face, pointed at Bai Ling, who had not eased her breath, and scolded: "This girl doesn't want to live anymore, it's better to go to the little proprietor to rejoice, if the little proprietor is gone, Bai Ling will be buried with death again, maybe the proprietor can still read her good, give us more silver!" ”
Bai Sanshu wanted to beat people angrily, but he couldn't do anything to his mother, so he could only tremble and hold the unresponsive girl and shake it vigorously.
But listening to the heart-rending crying of the two children on the other side of the East House, Bai Sanshu had to carry Bai Ling on the kang first, and staggered towards the East House.
At this moment, Bai Ling was in a state of shock, but he could hear the sounds around him clearly, and he only had disgust for the grandmother of the original owner, and wanted to yell and let her shut her mouth.
However, the soul and body are in harmony, and it is up to Bai Ling to decide.
Bai Dashu glanced at the old lady Bai, looked at her warningly, and said in a deep voice: "Mother, don't talk nonsense, the little owner is going to live a long life." Bai Ling is not dead yet, she will be obedient. ”
Old Lady Bai's eyes flashed, and she knew that she had said the wrong thing.
But as soon as he heard that the person was not dead, he immediately became angry, kicked at Bai Ling, and scolded: "Little slut, don't die soon, pretend to be dead in the old lady's place, and find a beating, right?" Hurry up, the little proprietor is still in a hurry to rejoice, if you delay the hour, see if the old lady doesn't kill you, who kills a thousand knives. ”
Bai Ling couldn't wake up after holding her breath, but when she was kicked by Mrs. Bai like this, she burst into tears in pain, covered her neck and coughed, but her mind was chaotic.
One is his own thinking, he was obviously rescuing an injured red-crowned crane, and accidentally fell into a swamp, how did he become hanged?
Is it possible to buy a house, car, or ticket in the 21st century?
The other is some memories that do not belong to Bai Ling, which continue to pour into Bai Ling's mind, she frowned in pain, and also felt how sad and desperate the owner of this memory is.
