Chapter 4 Pendants
Looking at Xiao Baozi's red eyes, Gu Anning reached out and hugged him. Maybe Xiao Baozi's crying voice was too weak to hear it just now.
Holding the child, Gu Anning kissed the delicate skin on his forehead, and whispered: "Good Xiaole, are you hungry?" Sister, this is for you to eat. After saying that, she sat on the edge of the bed with the child in her arms, took the bowl with the rice soup and fed it in small bites.
The child was very well-behaved and fell asleep shortly after eating.
Putting down the sleeping child, Gu Anning rummaged through the cabinets to find a few clean cloths and then carefully cushioned them under the child, so as not to wet the bed after he fell asleep.
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door, and Aunt Lihua's voice came from outside the door, saying, "An Ning, everyone is almost done with your mother's funeral, and you will be sent out for funeral in a while."
Hearing this, Gu Anning, who was inside, stood up and walked lightly towards the door.
When she opened the door, she saw Aunt Rikwa's malnourished and sallow face.
"Okay, thank you, Aunt Rika."
"What is there to thank, let's hurry to the front hall." Aunt Pear Blossom was a little embarrassed to be thanked, and then quickly changed the topic.
Gu Anning nodded, and the two of them walked towards the front hall.
Halfway through, Aunt Lihua suddenly stopped and looked at her, and said, "An Ning, don't you take your brother to your mother's funeral?"
Gu Anning shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Xiaole, he just fell asleep after drinking rice soup, and he was just born, so he can't toss so much." When he grows up, I will take him to visit my mother. ”
When Aunt Pear Blossom heard this, she thought about it, and then nodded.
The two came to the front hall, because everyone in the village was very poor, there was no way to buy a coffin, originally wanted to use a straw mat to wrap it and bury it, but the village chief's family thought that they were pitiful, so they paid a few hundred dollars to order the cheapest coffin.
Now, Gu Li is lying in this coffin paid by the village chief.
Gu Anning, who had just come here, knew in everyone's words that this coffin was bought by the village chief, so she stepped forward, bowed a little to him and the many villagers in the field, and thanked him from the bottom of her heart: "Thank you to the village chief for your mother's business, thank you to the uncles and aunts in the village, An Ning will keep this love in her heart, and she will definitely repay the uncles and aunts if she has the opportunity."
Seeing that this child was so sensible, the villagers in the village couldn't help but sigh and sigh.
This child is only fifteen years old and has no father, and there is this newborn brother to raise, and it seems that he will be sad in the future!
These people in the same village are all poor, and they can't help anything, so they can only help their sisters and brothers with their strength.
……………………………
The small funeral procession soon set off, and Gu Anning walked at the front holding her tablet.
The group came all the way to Gu Zhinan's tomb, and they wanted to bury Gu Li in the coffin next to her father-in-law.
An hour later, there was a small grave bag next to Gu Zhinan's tomb.
The vast majority of the people in the village are illiterate, and the wooden tombstone of this tomb was written and carved by the village chief.
Looking at this tombstone and the grave bag behind her, Gu Anning, who inherited the memory of the original owner, had red eyes, and tears rolled down her face.
I don't know why, although I inherited the memory of the original owner, I didn't inherit the feelings of the original owner, and this body actually cried uncontrollably. Presumably, it is estimated that this is caused by the feelings of the original owner of the dead himself.
The villagers silently retreated to the side, and Gu Liushi, the village chief's mother-in-law, stepped forward and handed the basket in her hand to Gu Anning.
Seeing the contents of the basket, Gu Anning glanced at this Gu Liu clan gratefully.
This basket contained the paper and incense candles, Gu Anning knelt in front of the grave and lit the incense candles, and then burned the paper one by one.
The many villagers who silently retreated to the side saw that they had nothing to do with themselves, so they left one after another, so as to leave this space for An Ning's girl.
inherited the body of the original owner and was able to continue to live, she Gu Anning naturally should be filial piety for the original owner, so she stayed in front of Gu Li's grave and spoke for a while, and then put incense on the father next to her and burned some paper money.
Worried about Xiaole at home, after worshipping them, Gu Anning hurried back.
After tossing all day when she first came here, Gu Anning was both tired and hungry.
looked at the child in the room and found that he had woken up, Gu Anning coaxed him, and then went to the kitchen to bring the warm rice soup over and feed him to drink.
Xiao Baozi is very well-behaved, although he cries occasionally, he doesn't cry a lot, and he doesn't have to worry about coaxing.
changed his diaper and coaxed him to sleep, Gu Anning could take care of herself.
After doing all this, she was already so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back, and it was already evening, so she hurriedly went to the kitchen to cook two sweet potatoes and eat them.
Filling her stomach, because of this hot day, after tossing for so long, her body was already sweaty, so she boiled some water in the pot to scrub her body.
When night falls, there are no kerosene lamps or expensive candles in the destitute home, and it is pitch black.
According to the memory of the original owner, when it was dark at night, they had already gone back to their rooms to rest.
Now, she looked at the darkness, and she couldn't help it, she could only use a wooden stick to light the fire.
After scrubbing her body, she came to the bed with a dry face, carefully checked the child's condition, and then changed his diaper, and lay down beside him.
As soon as she lay down, she felt as if something had slipped around her neck a few times, and reached out to touch it, and it was a rope.
When she was scrubbing just now, she found a pendant around the neck of the original owner, but what pendant? She didn't pay any attention either.
Because at night, it was pitch black all around, and she couldn't see what the pendant was. Now that she had time, she reached out and began to fumble with the shape of the pendant.
After fumbling with the shape of the pendant, she also remembered the small wooden pendant she used to make in modern times, that pendant was extraordinary, and there was a space inside.
However, the more she fumbled now, the more excited she became. After some inspection, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the wooden pendant hanging around her neck was the same space pendant she had in her previous life.
Suppressing the excitement in her heart, she searched her mind for the memories of the original owner to see if there was any origin of the pendant.
After some searching, it turned out that the pendant around her neck had been found in a crevice under the river when she was young.
