Xinghua Village, April, rainy night.

The lightning in the sky slashed down one after another, like a purple snake winding across the curtain of night, illuminating the world.

The wind was blowing all around, and the rain crackled down on the sleeping village, driving away the sweltering heat that had risen on the ground in the summer.

Located in the westernmost part of Xinghua Village, the house is lit with lights, hung with white cloth, and two white lanterns are hung at the door.

Tonight is the first seven of the owner of this family, Gu Shan, he died seven days ago in the road robbery, his body fell from the cliff, missing, only two of the people who traveled with him escaped, and three days ago informed the news to Gu Shan's wife Yang Huiyun.

Yang Huiyun didn't expect that Gu Shan would be separated from her heaven and man forever, and fainted the moment she heard the bad news.

At that time, there were several women who were friends with her in the Gu family, and everyone hurriedly helped her to lie down in the back room and let her relax.

And Yang Huiyun didn't say a word since she woke up, she kept sitting there and bowing her head and weeping, and the tears haven't stopped in the past three days.

At this time, she was holding her body strongly, kneeling in the main hall of the South House with her son, burning paper money for Gu Shan.

The tears had already dried up in the past three days, and at this moment she looked at the brazier in front of her with dull eyes, and the light of the fire reflected on her pale face, which made her even more haggard.

Gu Huai'an, who looked like this, couldn't help but lower her head, feeling uncomfortable, and wanted to appease A-Niang, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only face the brazier and endure the grief in her heart and continue to throw paper money into it.

"A-Niang, you go back to your room to rest first, I'm watching here, and I won't let the lights go out." Gu Huai'an put the yellow paper in his hand into the brazier, was quiet for a long time, and finally persuaded him.

"No, I'm not tired, your father is coming back tonight, I have to let him take a look......" Yang Huiyun came back to her senses, and when she heard Gu Huai'an's words, her eyes, which had dried up her tears, were slightly red again, and she choked up and said.

Gu Huai'an was silent after hearing this, and continued to move forward, but a trace of worry rose in his heart.

A-Niang is still pregnant, and she has only been three months old, and when she heard the news of her father's death, she was already over-frightened and red, and she should have been lying in bed to recuperate, but she insisted on guarding here, and she couldn't stop herself, so she could only take care of it carefully, for fear of any accidents.

In addition to A-Niang, my sister's situation is not very good.

When his thoughts turned here, Gu Huai'an thought of his sister Gu Changning, who was lying in the east room of the South House, and sighed again in his heart.

Since the news of Daddy's death came back, Ning Ning also couldn't accept it, she was originally lively and loved to laugh, and she cried like a tearful person these days.

He even launched a high fever this afternoon, his whole body was hot, his face was red, his eyes were misty, he and A-Niang panicked, and the six gods had no master, and they forgot to react for a while.

Fortunately, in the afternoon, several aunts and aunts in the village did not shy away from coming over to help, and when they saw this situation, they quickly cooked the medicine and fed her to drink, so as not to let them delay Ning Ning's illness in a panic.

And now she is lying in the east room behind Gu Huai'an, and she doesn't know if the fever has subsided a little, thinking of this, Gu Huai'an frowned, and was about to get up and say, "A-Niang, I'll go and see if Ning Ning's fever has subsided." ”

Yang Huiyun was stunned when she heard this, woke up, and remembered her daughter, who was in a fierce condition in the afternoon, and a trace of worry appeared on her face full of grief: "It's better for me to go, you are the eldest son, you should stay here, just let me go." ”

"Yes." Twelve-year-old Gu Huai'an had already begun to look like a little adult, and nodded solemnly when he heard this.

Yang Huiyun slowly stood up, dragged her somewhat weak body into the east room, saw the little person lying on the bed, reached out and touched her little face, and felt that the temperature in the palm of her hand had returned to normal, so she put her mind at ease, sat on the edge of the bed, stared blankly at her daughter's sleeping face, and her nose was sour.

She lost her mother when she was a child, and she and her father depended on each other, Yang's father was a showman, and he made a living by starting school, and his life was still passable.

However, not long after the age of Jilu, my father fell seriously ill and died.

As soon as her father died, the Yang family came to the door and seized all the property in the name of the clan, and she was also kicked out of the house with nowhere to go.

At that time, she had already made a marriage with Gu Shan, and the custom stipulated that if there was a funeral in the family, the marriage should be completed within 100 days, otherwise it would only be a year later.

Yang Huiyun was alone, and she could only marry Gu Shan within 100 days.

Although Gu Shan has a dull and little-talking character, he is hardworking and capable, and he doesn't have those flowery intestines, he is very good to her, the point is that although he has been begging for a living under his stepmother for many years, he has not developed a submissive temperament, which is very rare.

The two days of the young couple are also harmonious.

Gu Huai'an was born a year after marriage, and Gu Changning was also born in another four years, the husband and wife worked together, one inside and one outside, although the family was not rich, but there was never a shortage of food in food, and the family was filial to the father and son, but it also made many people in the village envious.

She thought that she would always live so smoothly in the future, but she didn't expect that she was less than thirty, and Gu Shan passed away because of a road bandit, Yang Huiyun thought of the past, and was disheartened for a while, and couldn't help but think about life and death.

Fortunately, Gu Changning's sudden high fever woke her up in the afternoon, and now the pillars of the family are gone, the eldest son is still young, and he can't support a family, if even she is gone, what should the two brothers and sisters do?

Not to mention that she still has one in her belly now, this child hasn't even come to the world to walk once, hasn't seen his brothers and sisters, and hasn't even opened his eyes to see the world, he is going to follow her to the underground, what face will she have to see Gu Shan under Jiuquan at that time?

Thinking of this, she tried her best to cheer up and eat well, although she didn't eat much, but she finally figured it out and was ready to support the family.

Being a mother is strong, and Yang Huiyun is in this situation now.

After being silent in the eastern room for a long time, she saw that Gu Changning was breathing steadily and was still asleep, so she got up gently, quietly left the room, and returned to the main hall to continue to watch Gu Shan's first seven nights with her eldest son.

When she went out, she didn't notice that the next second after she got up to leave, the little person lying on the bed suddenly frowned, breathed rapidly, and large beads of sweat came out of his forehead, and his face was full of panic, as if he had fallen into a nightmare, and as if he had fallen into a quagmire, he couldn't wake up and couldn't extricate himself.

After a while, Gu Changning finally calmed down, his body no longer trembled, the hair on his forehead was wet with sweat and stuck together, and his brows gradually relaxed, and the whole person entered a quiet sleep again.

If someone is paying attention at this moment, you will find that her temperament is slowly changing, and the immature atmosphere that originally belonged to a child is gradually receding, replaced by a calm and dignified look, as if she has grown ten years old overnight.

The wind and rain stopped, the sound outside the house gradually faded, the night was gradually retracting its body little by little, and the sky covered with ink gradually had light penetrating, and after a few rooster crows, the sky finally dawned.

Gu Changning slowly opened his eyes, his black and bright eyes reflected a calmness that did not fit his age, and the delicate facial features that had not yet grown could already see the shadow of a little beauty, and he could imagine his beautiful face in the future.

She had just woken up from her sleep, her mind was not yet clear, and she was now looking at everything in the room with her bright eyes, the roof, the roof, and the window lattices were already furnished with the tables and chairs in the room, and her face was detached and indifferent to which she had long been accustomed.

After a moment, after Gu Changning saw the appearance of this room clearly, the expression on his face changed suddenly, he sat up in shock, and carefully scanned the complete furnishings in the room, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he stared at the room without blinking, his eyes were full of doubts.

Is she dreaming? How did you end up in your home more than a decade ago?
