Chapter 3: Complete the hidden mission
But at this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Gu Nansang only felt in a trance, and after being dizzy, what appeared in front of him was the dilapidated beams and roof tiles from yesterday.
For a while, I couldn't tell if the person who claimed to be the system just now was just a dream.
"Third sister, you're awake!" But I heard a crisp children's voice.
Gu Nansang slowly came back to his senses, and as far as his eyes could see, he saw a little boy with vivid eyebrows and immature facial features lying on the head of the bed, curiously reaching out and touching his forehead.
“…… Gu Beihuai, what are you doing? Gu Nansang frowned, rolled his eyes, and took his hand away.
Gu Beihuai is the bear child who had to pick the lotus pod before, if it weren't for him, the original owner might not have died.
"Sister......" Gu Beihuai took two steps back timidly, and knew that it was his own mess last time that he let the third sister fall into the lotus pond and has been sick until now.
His eyebrows and eyes are seven or eight points similar to Gu Nansang, when the Xu family gave birth to the eldest Gu Dongqing in the first year, and gave birth to a daughter Gu Xizhou the next year. After that, there was no childbearing, I originally thought that it was just this son and a daughter, but five years later, I actually gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, which were Gu Nansang and Gu Beihuai.
Gu Nansang was born with a stick of incense, he was gentle and demure since he was a child, and he also took a lot of care of his younger brother, so he was eaten to death by him.
Gu Beihuai knew that she had made a mistake, but before, her sister would never be so unfamiliar with herself, let alone speak with such a cold face, she was frightened for a while, and she didn't dare to speak.
Gu Nansang was sweating profusely, and he felt much better. She turned over, found a copper basin, and washed her face by the well in the courtyard, barely showing her appearance against the calm water.
Although it is a dragon and phoenix fetus, it seems to be fraternal twins, and she and Gu Beihuai, a bear child, are only similar in their eyebrows and eyes. Although this face is completely different from his previous life, he is young and young, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and smart facial features.
Gu Beihuai followed Gu Nansang all the way out, and then turned around and walked in, earnestly, but he didn't dare to speak again.
"What are you doing with me?" Gu Nansang is not angry, this is not her younger brother, she is not familiar with this family yet, not to mention that this is an out-and-out bear child, she is really too lazy to pay attention to it.
Who knew that Gu Beihuai was frightened, his little chin trembled twice, and tears accumulated in his clear eyes, and he was about to cry, so he said aggrievedly: "Sister...... I, I know I'm wrong. ”
Gu Nansang really felt a headache, and she said perfunctorily: "Oh. ”
After that, go.
Gu Beihuai saw that she was about to leave again, so she really cried out now, rushed over and hugged her sister's trouser leg, and cried: "Woo...... I was wrong sister, woo woo woo ......"
A handful of snot and a handful of tears.
"......" Gu Nansang's eyebrows trembled three times, resisting the urge to kick him away, and asked coldly: "What are you doing wrong?" ”
"I ...... I don't want a lotus pod! Gu Beihuai, a nine-year-old child, how could he say anything big, so he just dragged her and cried.
"You stand up for me." Gu Nansang grabbed him by the collar.
Gu Beihuai was still crying: "Woo woo, I don't, I don't!" ”
"If you don't stand up, I won't play with you in the future, and I won't pay attention to you anymore." Gu Nansang clasped his hands around his chest, completely unmoved.
"......" The bear child was stuck and wanted to cry again, but he still held back, looked carefully at his sister's cold expression, and there was no trace of softening, so he had to stand up.
"I'll tell you, what's wrong with you."
Gu Nansang turned around and sat down by the well, his eyes were cold, and his tone was flat: "First, if you want something, you should fight for it yourself, instead of crying to achieve your goal." Although I am your sister, we are the same age, and I am not much better than you. If I can do it, so can you. Second, if you want to get something, you must know what you can do, and you don't want to think about what lotus pods to pick with your and my body? Thirdly, when I fell into the water because I was picking a lotus pod for you, your reaction should not be to cry, but to immediately seek help from an adult. I survived this time, what about next time? What if I die? ”
Her tone was cold and cold, Gu Beihuai was just a nine-year-old child, although his father had also enlightened him when he was there, but he didn't know much about what Gu Nansang said, but when he heard her say that she was going to die, her eyes widened, and she said hurriedly: "Bad sister!" No nonsense! ”
Gu Nansang said in his heart, your sister has died a long time ago, am I still talking nonsense?
What she didn't know was that Gu Congzhi had only been dead for a year, and for the young Gu Beihuai, the shadow in her heart was still very big.
But seeing Gu Beihuai's eager reaction and concern, her face finally eased a little, this kid is a bear, and the essence is not bad.
"One last point." She stood up, hesitated slightly, but still gently touched Gu Beihuai's head, and said softly: "As the saying goes, men don't flick when they have tears." Beihuai, you are a boy, when you grow up in the future, your mother still needs your protection, how can you cry first? ”
Gu Beihuai and Gu Nansang were about the same height, he rubbed his red eyes, threw himself into his sister's arms, and whimpered: "I know, Beihuai knows that I am wrong, sister...... Sister, don't die, don't ignore me......"
His little hands hugged Gu Nansang's waist tightly, and the soft hair rubbed against her neck, which felt strangely soft to the touch.
Gu Nansang was about to push his hand away but also paused, she was an orphan in her last life, this strange emotion had never been perceived, and she was a little at a loss for a while.
Long.
“…… I say. Gu Nansang picked up Gu Beihuai's collar, wrinkled his little nose, and said in disgust: "Don't wipe your snot on me." ”
"......" Gu Beihuai didn't understand, my sister was seriously ill, how could it be like a different person? In the past, she was always very gentle, and when she was coquettish, she also comforted her gently, how could she have such a reaction......
He couldn't figure it out for a while, and when he saw Gu Nansang walking towards the kitchen, he immediately put his thoughts behind him and followed step by step.
The kitchen was busy.
Gu Dongqing was adding firewood to the stove, turned around and added salt to the pot, and took a spatula to turn the greens in the pot.
Xu was at the back of the kitchen, squatting next to a small stove, fanning the stove with a puff fan, and the strong smell of medicine wafted out from the small casserole.
In such a situation at home, it is also difficult for this woman to try her best to find a pair of medicinal herbs for her daughter.
Gu Nansang sighed silently, raised his eyes and looked around, walked to the old wooden cabinet, and wanted to take a few bowls out to clean.
"Sang'er, what's wrong?" But hearing Xu's gentle and half-disgusted voice, she stood up, took the bowl in Gu Nansang's hand, and said, "It's better?" ”
Before Gu Nansang could answer, she asked again, "But what else is uncomfortable?" This time you will get up, but you are hungry? ”
After that, he pushed her to the door again, and said softly: "You go to the house and wait first, this place smells of smoke, don't choke." ”
The mother's kind face, gentle tone, and concerned expression all made Gu Nansang feel extremely strange.
She had never had such an experience.
The homes are large, there are a lot of children to take care of, and the staff are busy, and even if there is no abuse, they are never able to cover everything. Maternal love and family affection are not even extravagant hopes for Gu Nansang.
Because she had no idea what kind of existence it was.
Xu's tenderness and concern made her flattered, and at the same time, she could not suppress a slight warmth and envy in her heart.
Such a family, although poor, is certainly overstretched, but the feelings in this predicament are the most moving.
She sat at the table in a daze, and still didn't come back to her senses until Xu put a bowl of hot vegetable porridge in front of her.
"Silly boy, why are you stunned?" The mother's warm and dry palm gently stroked the top of her head, and Xu chuckled: "Drink the porridge and then take the medicine." ”
Gu Nansang's eyes involuntarily heated.
She took the bowl of porridge with both hands and said in a low voice, "Thank you...... Mother. ”
Xu didn't seem to see her abnormality, and continued: "This medicine was asked for by your eldest brother to the doctor in the west of the village, and this doctor Zhong is also a strange person, and he always sees no one, so it was easy for us to make up a little money for the medicine and take it, but he didn't want it, and he drove your brother out of the house without saying a word." ”
Gu Nansang has been here for four or five days, and it is the first time that he can eat a mouthful of hot food by himself, snoring and drinking all the fragrant vegetable porridge in one go, putting down the dishes and chopsticks, and feeling comfortable all over.
"Maybe there are people with medical skills, but they all have some quirks." She smiled, and there was already a warm color in her eyes.
Gu Beihuai waited on the side for a long time, and when he saw that his sister had eaten first, it was rare that he didn't cry, but instead helped Gu Nansang blow the black-brown medicinal juice in the medicine bowl, pinched his little nose, and frowned tightly.
"You're rare today." Xu touched his head and sent him to the kitchen to help Gu Dongqing.
"Sang'er, drink the medicine and go to rest again, your eldest brother will come back this time, you have to rest for a while, you can also relax with him at home." Xu Shi said, and sighed again: "Your second sister got married a few months ago, and you are the only daughter by your mother's side, so you can always bear to work as a farmer outside. ”
Even if the family already has such a field, the Xu family still measures the current situation of her daughter by the standard that she raised in the boudoir.
Gu Nansang pondered for a moment, her second sister Gu Xizhou is only fourteen years old this year, the concept of ancient times is really ......
She sighed and said, "Mother, the family is poor, and my daughter, as a member of the Gu family, should do her part, and there has never been any grievances." ”
Xu Shi was stunned, and for a moment, he smiled bitterly and said: "You are seriously ill, and my mother always feels that you wake up a little different, but she can't say it." It's useless for your mother, so that you are young, and you have to run around for firewood, rice, oil and salt. ”
When she said this, she reminded Gu Nansang that if she wanted to integrate into the life of the Gu family, her changes must not be too obvious, so she said softly: "When my daughter was sick, I had a dream, and there was a white-haired old man in the dream, and I said a lot of things, and my daughter couldn't understand it. It is said that what blessings and misfortunes depend on, and what blessings and misfortunes lie ......"
These words greatly comforted Xu's family, she couldn't help muttering these words, and remembered Gu Congzhi who had been dead for a year, when she was crying, she took care of her daughter, touched Gu Nansang's head again, and sighed softly: "Blessings and misfortunes depend on, and misfortunes and blessings lurk." I think that with the blessing of the Bodhisattva, Sang'er will not die in a catastrophe, and there will be a blessing in the future. ”
"The system prompts, congratulations on completing the hidden mission and appeasing the Xu family." Before Gu Nansang could reply, the cold voice of the system sounded in his head.
"Congratulations on getting a cluster of rose seedlings, please go to the back mountain to get it."
"...... "What the hell?"
