Chapter 1 Waterborne

Next Chapter

Lian Sheng was feeding the chickens in the yard, and Xue Su was the only one in the house.

She walked to the door, and when she made sure that the deadbolt was in place, she moved very eagerly, and ripped open the coarse cloth garment she was wearing, revealing her slender neck.

Xue Susheng's skin is pale, but the peasant woman is not as particular as in the city, she usually neglects maintenance, her body is a little dry, even in summer, she will peel, and there are still some goosebumps on her arms.

The fingers rubbed against the neck, and the skin under the hands was smooth, leaving no scars at all.

Obviously, when she followed Wang Xiucai, she was bitten on the neck by that person, and red blood gushed out of the wound, which frightened Xue Su at that time, even if she rubbed a lot of ointment later, there were still deep tooth marks on the skin and flesh, how could it suddenly disappear?

Looking around the dilapidated and gray hut, whether it was the oily tables and chairs in the corners, or the dilapidated and deformed copper basins, Xue Su was familiar to the point of being incomprehensible.

At first, she couldn't believe that she was reborn, but now that the scar hadn't appeared, what else could there be if she hadn't gone back to the past?

When Xue Su was a child, she heard the old people in the village say that there are ghosts and gods in this world, but a woman like her, who is not honest and shameless, should go to hell and be tortured even if she dies.

Could it be that God saw her pitiful, so he gave her another chance and let her be reborn three years ago?

Thinking of this, she was very excited in her heart.

The thin body trembled like a sifting chaff, and he smashed his mouth with his backhand, covering it tightly, so that his face turned the color of pig liver, for fear of making a sound, so as not to alarm the people outside the house.

After arranging the clothes, Xue Su reached out and took off the door bolt, pushed open a thin slit, glanced out secretly, and looked at the little girl who was working in the yard, this is Chu Qinghe's niece Liansheng, who is only twelve this year, before being reborn, how filial the little girl was to her uncle, how much she disliked her as an aunt.

Chu Qinghe is a hunter in Anning Village, and he has not married a daughter-in-law at the age of twenty-seven. In a poor and remote area like Anning Village, the hunters can be regarded as a good livelihood, but it is a pity that the man is blind and lame, even if he has the ability to pick up a gun and bend a bow and shoot arrows, he can't bring back much prey.

Xue Su's stepmother took a fancy to this, so she locked her in the courtyard of the Chu family for a whole night, and shouted in the village the next day, saying that she was ruined by Chu Qinghe and had to marry this man.

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl is full of fantasies about life, Xue Su hopes that her Ruyi Langjun can take her away from the place of Anning Village and live a comfortable and prosperous life, but the sky does not obey people's wishes, she was forced to marry a blind and lame man, her heart is both aggrieved and sour, and she always feels that she has fallen into the dung pit for the rest of her life, and there is no hope anymore.

At this moment, Wang Youqing appeared, a young, handsome and talented man, who opened his mouth to write poetry and songs, and sweet words could melt people's hearts, even if Xue Su was married, Wang Youqing still didn't care.

How many women in the world can refuse such an affectionate man?

Xue Su couldn't step through the hurdle in his heart at first, and always avoided Wang Youqing, for fear of meeting him and doing unforgivable mistakes.

But later, she thought about the man, as if she was blinded by lard, and gave her body to Wang Xiucai behind the grain pile, and the two ignored the world's eyes, and also lived a comfortable life of mixing oil in honey.

It's a pity that the beautiful scenery is not long, Wang Youqing is the top student in high school, and Xue Su's mother and son have become the biggest stain on the man, hindering his future, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a stumbling block.

The champion of the new department has a noble temperament, how can he communicate with a married woman. Traitor?

Wang Youqing wanted to marry the princess of Jin Zun and Yugui, and when Xue Su came to the door with the child, he mercilessly let the mother and son drive them out of the door, if he hadn't driven him away, Xue Su would not have been crushed to death by a carriage.

The man's words are the most unbelievable, but fortunately, she came back in time, and she is still complete, and she has not done such an irreparable wrong.

Glancing down at her thin and rough hands, Xue Su was no longer as disgusted as in her previous life, she pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, her emotions had calmed down, she pushed open the door and walked out.

Lian Sheng, who was feeding the chickens, heard the movement and glanced up at Xue Su, with a little fear in his eyes.

Today's Liansheng is only twelve years old, and she is still an introverted child, and she is not disgusted with her as an aunt to the core.

"Auntie." Seeing that Xue Su was awake, Liansheng hurriedly stood up, wiped the dirt on his hand three or two times, and whispered: "There are still hot cakes in the kitchen, Liansheng brought them to my aunt, you haven't eaten in the morning, don't be hungry......"

"No, it's not like I don't have long hands and feet, I just came by myself." Xue Su pressed the little girl's thin shoulders with both hands, Liansheng was half a head shorter than her, thin like a firewood stick, touching a handful of bones in his hand, sunken cheeks and hair were yellow, this appearance made Xue Su's heart rise for a while.

Obviously, when she first married into the Chu family, no one was sorry for her, but Xue Su was greedy and ambitious by nature, and always felt that she could have a good future, when the imaginary dream was broken by reality, she vented all her resentment and unwillingness on Chu Qinghe and Liansheng's uncle and nephew, which was a little too selfish.

From beginning to end, she did something wrong, a married woman was pregnant with an adulterer's child, and Xue Su and Chu Qinghe had never had sex, as long as they were not fools, they knew that a woman was pregnant with a wild seed in her belly.

However, Chu Qinghe neither divorced his wife, nor did she publicize this matter, if she didn't want to be prosperous and rich, she went to the capital to find Wang Youqing, who was already a high school champion, and she would not have died tragically under the wheel.

Without looking at the worried little girl, Xue Su walked into the kitchen, lifted the lid of the pot and picked up a still hot coarse grain cake from it, and chewed it in a big gulp.

In the days when she was begging in the capital in her previous life, because the child was small, most of the food that Xue Su begged was fed to her son, and she didn't eat a few bites herself, and she was hungry.

She hadn't eaten this kind of steaming meal for a long time, and she was in a hurry, but her throat was small, and it was a little difficult to swallow, so she swallowed the food into her stomach with cold water.

Finally satisfied, Xue Su made a basin of water, rolled up his sleeves and was about to wash his hands, when he saw his wrist hanging with a thin red rope out of the corner of his eye, and the whole person was suddenly stunned.

I saw that there was a light pink mole on the woman's fleshy left wrist, only the size of a fingernail, and the color was light and close to flesh color, but it was slightly raised.

The fingertips with a thin callus pressed the mole, and there was no numbness and itchiness at all, and the pink mole that appeared out of thin air made Xue Su couldn't help frowning, she originally had a peach wood bead hanging on her wrist, which was worn on the red rope, and now the red rope that has been with it for many years is still there, without the slightest trace of breakage, but the peach wood bead is gone, and there is an extra pink mole.

Closing her eyes, Xue Su thought that when she first woke up, she seemed to smell a shallow smell of peach wood in her nose, could it be that the reason why she was reborn was related to the disappeared peach wood bead?

The heart was pounding and beating, Xue Su licked his dry lips, and the whole person was like a stone sculpture, sitting in place, not moving.

Suddenly, she straightened her rolled up sleeves, took the pickaxe at home, and rushed out in a hurry.

The June day was really not cool, it was the hottest time in the afternoon, and there was not even a shadow of a person in the back mountain, and the thin woman walked quickly to an old peach tree at the foot of the mountain, staring straight at the peach tree close at hand.

The green fruit hangs on the branches, the peaches are not yet ripe, they are sour and astringent in the mouth, and the mouth is numb, and after more than a month, the peaches will grow soft and sweet, full of juice, and the taste is so good.

The reason why Xue Su came here was because her mother left two things for her before she died. One is a mahogany bead hanging from his left wrist, and the other is a book.

When she first married Chu Qinghe, she was illiterate, and she was afraid that her mother's relics would be snatched by her stepmother, so she buried them under this old peach tree.

In his previous life, Xue Su and Wang Youqing were mixed up, and after they could read and write, they dug up the book and prepared a kind of willow dew according to the recipe above.

At that time, Xue Sucai gave birth to a big fat son to Wang Youqing, she was pregnant in October with confinement, and the whole person was fat twice, and her originally small and delicate face had been squeezed and distorted by fat.

The book says that Yang Liulu can make a woman's waist slender and light as a swallow, Xue Su thought of his lover in his heart, and naturally he didn't like his stupid and fat appearance, so he concocted it according to the method above, but he didn't expect it to have a miraculous effect, and he lost more than a dozen catties after drinking Yang Liulu for less than two months.

Those secret recipes Xue Su can memorize them backwards, knowing that in addition to Yang Liulu, other recipes are also worth a thousand gold.

It's a pity that one day the book was lost, and soon after, there was a woman who opened a private museum in Jingyang City, it seems to be called Cheng Sanniang, the main sign in the private hall is Yang Liulu, every time she receives a female guest, she successfully makes people lose weight, and she has to charge a high price of hundreds of taels of silver, and the snow-white silver is pouring in, relying on her secret recipe.

The silver was supposed to be Xue Su's, but a thief stole it, thinking of how prosperous the private business was, she reddened with jealousy, and scolded the shameless woman in her heart, panting.

The soil on the edge of the peach tree was soft, Xue Su had turned over the ground with a pickaxe half a year ago, and now he didn't have to make much effort to easily cut the black mud all over the ground.

After digging for a quarter of an hour, the pickaxe seemed to have touched something hard.

Xue Su couldn't help laughing, his eyes narrowed into a thin slit, he gently wiped the beads of sweat on his head with the back of his hand, and hurriedly squatted down and dug out the rag bag that exposed a corner from the soil.
