The spring rain fell overnight, and in the early morning, the rain stopped, and Gu Bainiang also opened her eyes.

The top of the tent is blue and gray, and the tent of this kind of material has not been used by the people even when their Shen Mansion is most difficult.

Wrong, not them ....

Gu Bainiang's hands that were flat at her side couldn't help but clench.

Shen Fu .....

has nothing to do with her, if it has anything to do with it, it is an enemy relationship, and it is not shared.....

"Eighteen mothers.. Eighteen mothers..."Someone pushed her arm, and her voice was soft and full of concern.

The sound of concern made her nose sour, and tears welled up in her eyes.

The woman in front of the bed was startled by her, "Eighteen Niang, what's wrong with Eighteen Niang?" But the head hurts again? ”

The woman reached out and picked her up, rubbed her forehead, and lifted the curtain to show where the bruises remained.

Gu Bainiang snuggled in the woman's arms, and the greedy enjoyment came from her mother's unique taste.

"Eighteen mothers?" The woman called to her with some concern.

Ever since he had woken up from a coma after falling from the mountain that day, the child had become more reticent and in a daze from time to time.

"I'm fine..."Gu Bainiang rubbed her head in her mother's arms and said in a thick nasal voice.

Feeling the wetness of the placket, a smile appeared on the woman's face, and there was a hint of helplessness.

"Why are you crying again? Well? She held her daughter's long hair and said in disgust.

"Mother.." Gu Bainiang hugged her tightly again, felt her mother's true existence, and murmured, "I miss you so much....."

The woman smiled, helped her up, stretched out her hand and gently scraped her nose, "You eat and sleep with your mother, is it possible that you think like this because you can't see your mother when you close your eyes when you sleep?" After that, don't sleep at all. ”

The woman had a smile on her face, and the thin lines at the corners of her eyes suddenly appeared.

At this time, her mother was only twenty-eight years old, but she looked like she was thirty-eight years old, and it was the difficult days that prematurely engraved the traces of time on her original beautiful appearance, and when she had money, her mother couldn't enjoy it......

Gu Eighteen Niang's tears welled up again, she nodded, and said in a hoarse voice: "If you can look at your mother forever, Eighteen Niang is willing not to sleep." ”

The woman laughed and tapped her nose, "Don't say anything stupid! ”

Gu Bainiang looked at her and did not speak.

"Okay, Eighteen Niang, I'm hungry, I'm going to serve you food.." The woman smiled and stood up.

"Mother." Gu Bainiang called her and moved to the side of the bed, "I'll get up and eat." ”

A trace of worry appeared on the woman's face, and she hesitated, "Are you alright?" ”

"Alright." Gu Bainiang nodded and looked at the woman.

It's time for her to be fine, there's no time.

It is now March 28 of the fifth year of Jianyuan, which means that she has returned to ten years ago, and this year she is thirteen years old.

The father, who had only been a county magistrate when he was a year old, had just died of illness on the way to his post.

In the summer, her mother took her and her fifteen-year-old brother back to their ancestral hometown of Jiankang and joined their clansmen.

In the early winter, his mother was insulted by a prodigal son in the clan and committed suicide, and his brother was falsely accused and imprisoned for revenge.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, my brother was released from prison and died in his arms due to the epidemic.

That is, this year, she will lose these two relatives, and she will be alone and at the mercy of others from now on.

Fate began this year, so now, she wants it to change from this year.

Seeing that the daughter's eyes instantly lit up like a flame, the woman couldn't help but be stunned, this child .......

"It's okay, after lying down for a long time, the bones are soft, get up and move." She immediately smiled and said, crouching down as she spoke.

Gu Bainiang lowered her head, looking at the white hair mixed between the hair of the woman who was wearing shoes for herself, and couldn't help but have a sour nose again.

“… Just walk around the yard, and then lie down for a while after eating..."The woman dressed her in a short garment of arrowroot, and whispered, "You didn't sleep well last night....Did you have a nightmare?" ”

Yes, nightmare, Gu Bainiang bit her lower lip and nodded, but fortunately she finally woke up.

"Eighteen mothers.." The woman bent over her shoulder and smiled softly at the faint bronze mirror, "Don't be afraid, my mother is here." ”

Yes, my mother is still there, and she will always be there.

Gu Bainiang pursed her lips and smiled slightly at the small childish face of the brass mirror, and the slightly pale cheeks of the girl in the mirror showed two small dimples.

"Okay..."The mother poked her head out from behind her and smiled in the mirror, "Our eighteenth mother looks so good when she smiles....."

The wooden door was slammed open, and the sound not only startled the two people in the room, but also the intruder.

The thick-eyed, big-eyed, somewhat tiger-like boy hurriedly held on to the wooden door to stop it from creaking.

"Brother Hai!" His mother looked at him with a bit of disgust.

Gu Hai stuck out his tongue and saw the little girl sitting in front of the mirror looking at him in a daze.

“… I scared my sister..."He smiled with a little self-reproach, and before his words fell, he saw the little girl's tears flowing down her pale cheeks, and immediately raised her hand to beat her shoulder, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, my sister don't be angry...."

Gu Bainiang ran over a few steps from the mirror, reached out and hugged his arm and cried loudly.

This is her brother, her brother who is two years older than her, the brother who has protected her since she was a child, but she watched him die in her arms.......

After crying, Gu Bainiang, who was sitting under the eaves and eating coarse cakes, was much quieter, she ate in small bites, and the coarse cakes with a piercing mouth seemed to be a delicacy in the world.

took a big sip of gruel, swallowed the chewed cake, and her throat hurt hotly, this pain made Gu Bainiang very happy, it hurt, indicating that this is not a dream, she is really alive, and she is not alive alone.

Cao Shi and Gu Hai, who were standing in the courtyard wringing wet clothes, never left Gu Bainiang.

"Mother.." Gu Hai whispered, "My sister is crying more and more... My eyes are swollen ......"

Cao nodded, his face was full of hidden worries, not only did he cry, but since he woke up that day, he was in a daze during the day, and he had nightmares in the night, crying and screaming every night......

"Brother Hai, don't go to fetch firewood first, stay at home with your sister, and I'll go to Mapozi's house in Dongxiang." Cao Shi made a decision and said.

Ma Pozi is a famous goddess here, Gu Hai frowned, he is a scholar, he is always a little disgusted by the gods and witches sought after by these women, and said hesitantly: "It's better to find a doctor to take a look.....

"I'll go to the doctor after noon." Cao replied.

"Mother, I'm done eating." Gu Bainiang said under the eaves, standing up and cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.

Cao Shi had already stepped over, "Hold, I'll come." ”

When Cao was pregnant with Gu Eighteen Niang, he was catching up with Gu's father to catch the exam, in order to raise money for the journey, the family sold a lot of things, and the food naturally declined, resulting in Gu Eighteen Niang not only being born prematurely but also frail, almost dying, Gu's father and Cao's sought countless medical treatments, and also listened to the words of the goddess and recognized a beggar as a godmother.

The name Eighteen Niang came from the mouth of the godmother, when the beggar godmother was dividing half of the black cake into eighteen pieces, chatting to comfort the five internal organs temple, so she gave her the name of eighteen.

Because of the guilt of the eighteenth mother's weak body, her parents are very spoiled, although the family is poor, but she also raises her clothes to reach out for food to open her mouth.

It is precisely because of this that as a child of the poor, Eighteen Niang not only does not have the ability to be in charge early, but is weak and ignorant of the world.

"Mother, I'll come." Gu Bainiang held Cao's hand and said firmly.
