What's going on, Qi Ning tried to open his heavy eyelids, but wondered in his heart, didn't he die? Except for feeling very hungry, there seems to be nothing uncomfortable. Just as she was about to sit up, she suddenly felt dizzy, and her headache made her want to vomit, and her head felt like it had been run over by a wheel.

Holding his groggy head to stabilize his mind, he reluctantly raised his head to look at this strange environment. Now in a dim, dilapidated and low room, a glimmer of sunlight through the half-open old-fashioned lattice wooden window, I can vaguely see myself lying on an earthen kang. A strangely dressed woman stood beside her, looking at her in surprise. This shouldn't be the Yama Palace! Could it be that someone saved him? Qi Ning was in a coma before the May Day holiday, she took her grandmother's ashes back to her hometown to be buried with her grandfather, and when she came back, she fell asleep in a daze on the long-distance bus, Qi Ning opened her eyes in a scream, and saw a big truck rushing from the opposite side, she watched the people and things in the front seat roll and spin, and then lost consciousness.

Qi Ning felt another wave of dizziness, and his arm was temporarily unable to support him and he fell on the bed.

The woman standing next to her looked at her in horror by Qi Ning's actions and asked, "Ning Ning, what's wrong with you?" Don't you scare your aunt? ”

Qi Ning looked at the woman who claimed to be her aunt with a concerned face, her mouth opened, and she asked in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?" Where am I? ”

The woman covered her face and began to cry, and when she finally stopped crying, she sobbed and told what had happened. Qi Ning completely understood that he was not rescued by his fellow countryman, but somehow he came to an unknown space and wore it on a person who was also named Qi Ning. The place where she is now is Youzhuang Village, dozens of miles southwest of Qing'an City, Dajing Dynasty, which does not exist in the history books, and the woman next to her who is still sobbing is surnamed Qi, who is her aunt, who is fifteen years old this year, and her father turned out to be a showman who made a living by teaching in the village school. Qi Xiucai fell ill last year and exhausted all the family's resources, and he died. When food ran out this spring, her mother left her and her sister to leave the country, and before leaving, her mother sold most of the family's valuable belongings and fields, and left her alone in the family's three broken grass houses. The woman next to her, who claimed to be her aunt, heard the letter from her fellow villagers and went back to her mother's house in another county to bring her to her mother-in-law's house in an ox cart and was about to die of illness.

My aunt's mother-in-law's surname is Zhong, my father-in-law Zhong Laoshi and my wife Zhong Su gave birth to two sons and two daughters, the eldest son is Qi Ning's uncle Zhong Dashan, and the eldest daughter Zhong Damiang has been married, and the younger son Zhong Dahe and the second daughter Zhong Erniang have not yet married.

Qi Ning was born on the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, known as Halloween. As soon as she was born, she didn't cry, the midwife slapped her buttocks five or six times and didn't make her cry, looking at her with a pair of hairy and watery eyes in her arms, she couldn't do it anymore, there is a local custom, the child who just gave birth does not cry and is unknown, the parents of the criminal party, the lonely star, not to mention the birth is just in time for the opening of the ghost door in the middle of July. The midwife trembled and washed a few handfuls of wormwood water for the newborn Qi Ning, hastily wrapped it in a small quilt, and didn't even want to say the auspicious words of blessing, so she took the red envelope and said: "Evil." He left in a panic. On the way back, he fell into a ditch and almost fell to his death. So, under the deliberate publicity of the midwife, within a few days, everyone knew that Qi Xiucai's family had given birth to an ominous girl.

As soon as the midwife stepped out of the door, Qi Ning's mother, Wang Shi, pushed the swaddling Qi Ning to the ground, and shouted hoarsely at Qi Xiucai, who had just sent the midwife in: "Throw this monster into the urine jar and drown!" Throw it away! Fast......! Qi Xiu only got married for three years before she got this first child, and she was appeased by good words, and the Wang family cried for a while before reluctantly agreeing to leave Qi Ning. The original body picked up a small life.

And Qi Ningniang gave birth to a girl born on Halloween, and she didn't cry when she was born, and the whole village knew about it in less than a day. Wang's 10,000 did not wait to see the original body, and threw the child on the bed every day, and only went to feed it when he remembered it. The strange thing is that Qi Ning doesn't cry even if he is hungry, he only hums with his big watery eyes open. It wasn't until she was five years old that Wang gave birth to another daughter, and now the red-eyed Wang, who had been looking forward to her son, sprinkled all her grievances on Qi Ning, and Wang decided that she couldn't give birth to a son because of the unknown girl born on this Halloween. Every day, he scolded the thin Qi Ning, and Qi Ning got up early and greedy to chop wood to cook and wash, and if it was a little slow, he would not be given food. When my father came home from the school every evening, in addition to eating, he was holding books and working hard, and he also turned a blind eye to Wang's beating and scolding, Qi Ning.

Because she was not welcomed, Qi Ning didn't give her the name Qi Ning until her father named her sister, and her sister was called Qi Shu. The Wang family has been brooming the star and calling her for so many years. And other people in the village, there are those who call her Qi girl, who call her a broom star behind their backs, and ghosts abound.

Due to Qi Ning's ominous reputation, she has had no other playmates except for playing with her little sister Qi Su since she was a child. The children in the village would only bully her, and the adults in the village also warned their children not to play with Qi Ning, otherwise they would be killed by her.

So Qi Ning has been silent since she was a child, and she has become more and more unlikable. And no matter what bad things happen in the village, or what bad things happen to the Qi family, whether it is losing a chicken or stumbling at the door of Qi's house, it will all depend on Qi Ning's head and confirm the crime of the ominous ghost girl.

Last year, Qi Ning's hometown of Jixian County had a rare natural disaster in a hundred miles, first for several months without rain, the water in the river was cut off, and the crops in the field were not harvested, and then it rained heavily for more than half a month, and flash floods broke out, and many families were washed down by the flash floods, drowning cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks. All the people said that this was brought by the ominous Qi Ning, and the people in the village who had suffered losses and believed that Qi Ning was unknown blocked Qi Ning who had just returned from chopping firewood from the mountains on the road, tied it with a rope and pulled it to the courtyard of the village, and set up firewood to burn Qi Ning alive. As a result, when the fire was just lit, suddenly the wind was fierce and the black clouds were accompanied by lightning and thunder, and they slashed over the village one by one, and the hail and the torrential rain poured down, so frightened that the villagers covered their heads and fled, and Qi Ning picked up another life.

After the torrential rain, a wave of epidemic came one after another, and many young adults in the village vomited and diarrhea overnight and couldn't get out of bed. However, on the sixth or seventh day, some people's homes heard howls, and people successively carried coffins to the ancestral grave forest behind the village. Qi Ning's father was also buried in the back mountain in this epidemic. The village suffered one disaster after another, and those who could walk began to seek relatives and friends, and those who had no relatives closed their doors and closed their homes to wait for death. When the epidemic passed, the village became more and more depressed. In the spring, the family had eaten all the food, and some people in the village went with their families and begging for food with their luggage on their backs. One morning, after drinking a meal of corn flour porridge with wild vegetables that was so rare that you could see the shadow of a person, when Wang sent Qi Ning to the river to wash clothes, he took Qi Shu to flee with a widower in the village who had died of his mother-in-law.

Qi Ning was scared and sad alone, and fell ill in a few days. The people in the village hated Qi Ning for being an ominous person, and no one cared about her life or death, and even wished that she would be sick and whining.

Hearing this, Qi Ning understood that the original body might have died of illness, and he happened to have his soul pierced her. Qi sold the only remaining belongings of Qi Ning's family, and when he took Qi Ning back to his mother-in-law's house, he was blocked at the door and was not allowed to enter, Qi was kneeling and crying, and finally Zhong Laoshi spoke to let Qi Ning enter the door, but Zhong Sushi refused to ask for a doctor, and when everyone thought that Qi Ning was going to die, today she woke up instead of the original body.

Qi Ning looked at the so-called aunt who was crying non-stop, and really wanted to scold the sky. What is this called? Halloween was born unfavorably, her father and mother remarried, and the crying and hiccupping aunt in front of her was obviously a bread, it was not easy for her to bring Qi Ning back and stay, and there was nothing else to expect. How should I live in this unknown dynasty with black eyes!

The more I thought about it, the more unwilling I felt, Qi Ning suddenly shouted out, and slapped her head fiercely with her hand: "God, you play with me, I fell asleep in the car, I didn't know what was going on, I was knocked down in the ditch all of a sudden, even if you let me get a slight injury, it's okay to lose a few hairs and break a fingernail, I just got promoted, and I don't have a boyfriend yet!" I'm about to make a down payment to buy a house, and you don't say hello to me and bring me to this broken place where birds don't lay eggs and rabbits don't, what's the matter with this grandma? You have the ability to kill me, ahhhhh......h

Qi stopped crying, and the niece who was scolding in front of her made her a little strange, and hurriedly asked, "Ning Ning, what's wrong with you?" Don't you have a headache? Or is there something uncomfortable? Auntie doesn't have the ability to ask you for a doctor, woo woo......" Qi said and cried with a handful of snot and tears.

Qi Ning was even more angry when she saw it, the aunt in front of her didn't look like an adult, she would only howl when she encountered something. Qi Ning hates others crying at every turn, and they can't solve the problem and make people have a headache.

"Sister Ning, mother's ......" just when Qi Ning couldn't help but shout: Shut up. A timid female voice came in, Qi Ning raised her head and saw that a little girl about ten years old with dry hair and sallow and thin hair was standing at the door looking at Qi Ning and Qi Shi.

Qi Shi hurriedly wiped his sleeves and eyes, stood up and said to the little girl at the door: "Big girl, come and meet your sister Ning, you haven't seen each other for four or five years, remember?" This is your uncle's eldest cousin. "The cowardly Qi family hasn't been back to their parents' house for several years. This time, when he heard that something had happened to his mother's family, Qi knelt and begged his mother-in-law to beg his father-in-law to go back.

Qi Ning suppressed the anger in her heart and looked at the little girl who cowered and approached the bed.

"Sister Ning, why did you cry when you just woke up?" Zhong Daya leaned on the side of the bed and asked with concern, "Are you hungry?" But it's only past lunch, and the rest of the food is locked in the kitchen by grandma, so bear with me first, and I'll bring you the food in the evening. ”

Qi Ning took a deep breath, secretly thinking about the rickety tables and chairs in the dilapidated house in front of him, this would not be all the belongings of the family, this is also poor, and there is no food to eat. God! What kind of family is this, how can he be so poor, Qi Ning almost looked up to the sky and roared. God, I was wrong, I shouldn't have scolded you, you let me go back! As long as I am allowed to go back, I will kill pigs and sheep every day to worship you, okay!

"Auntie, you accompany your cousin, my mother went to work in the field, and in the evening, you washed the rice and put it in the pot to cook porridge, and the vegetables will be fried when I come back." Qi Shi said and tucked the quilt for Qi Ning, turned around and went out.

The eldest girl brought a bowl of water from the table and handed it to Qi Ning: "Sister Ning, drink some water first, your voice is hoarse." ”

Qi Ning's hungry chest was pressed against his back, and he lowered his head and took a few mouthfuls of water from the bowl at the fork, and his mood calmed down a little.

The eldest girl looked at this hard-working cousin and couldn't find any words of comfort for a while, so she sat on the edge of the kang and looked at Qi Ning.

Qi Ning was depressed for a while and thought about it, forget it, let's do it first, since I have already come, I will find a way to live first. This hard-working original body, this pair of thin chicken paws seems to be successful, and it is estimated that the face and body are not much better. has such parents and an unknown identity, and the previous days can be imagined. In the future, I will live a good life for her.

"Big girl, I'm fine." She took the initiative to take the eldest girl's hand, forced herself to squeeze away a smile and said, "I, my sister just woke up and was a little dizzy, but it's much better now." ”

"Sister Ning......" The eldest girl has heard her mother talk about some of her cousin's life experience, and knows that she has had a difficult life since she was a child. Now she is lonely and helpless, her grandmother and father don't like her, and they can't wait to kick her out immediately, even if she barely stays, I'm afraid that there will be no good life in the future.

Qi Ning was about to speak, when a shrill cry came from outside the door: "Big girl, you lost money and ran to the house to hide again, why don't you hurry up and fight when the pigweed is gone, didn't you hear the pig's hungry scream?" Regardless of what you eat and how you wear, you know how to be lazy every day, and forget about eating for nothing, and get me back a person who eats white food, a group of white-eyed wolves. I'm embarrassed to see a doctor, do you know how much money it costs to see a doctor? Even if I sell you all, it's not enough. I'm telling you, that broom star is clean when it's dead, don't be half-dead and eat food in vain, hum! The more he scolded, the louder he became, and finally he snorted coldly.

Qi Ning looked up from the crack in the window when he heard the sound, and an old lady about fifty years old, wearing a cyan coarse cloth skirt and an earthy yellow blouse, with a silver hairpin on her head, stared at them menacingly.

Thinking about it, this is the grandmother of the eldest girl, Zhong Sushi, her black and yellow face like a knife handle has a mouthful of big yellow teeth, her eyes are prominent, with a forehead embroidered with yellow silk thread, about one meter five tall, thin and thin, and a tricky and mean appearance.

"Sister Ning, you rest first, I'll go hunt pigweed." Before the words fell, the big girl ran out of the smoke.

Zhong Sushi squinted and glanced at the eldest girl: "The lazy man on his back can't eat enough for tomorrow's pigs, so don't think about eating at night." ”

"Well, I'll go now." The big girl carried the bamboo basket on her back and ran away in a panic.

Zhong Sushi then turned back to the window and said, "Our family will not leave a mourning star in the neighborhood. Now that I'm awake, get out of here, and if I die one day, I don't want to put on a coffin. Then he spat hard and turned around and went back to his room.

Silver! I still have silver! Qi Ning ignored Mrs. Zhong's scolding, and what she thought in her heart was that the Qi family seemed to say that if she sold her belongings, she would be able to leave here if she had money, and she would go out to rent a house first, and study the rest slowly. If you stay here any longer, you will be angry sooner or later if you don't starve to death.

looked down at the patches and patches on his body that were washed and couldn't see the original color, and then looked at the broken quilt with cotton wool on his legs, and smiled contemptuously.

God is too unkind, kicked Qi Ning to this inexplicable place, and let her cross it, but let her wear it on this orphan girl who has no six relatives to rely on, and her father is dead and married. Well, an orphan girl is an orphan girl, or an ominous person that everyone avoids! Qi Ning sat helplessly on the edge of the kang and pondered if there was any way to go back, maybe he could wear it back if he committed suicide? But Qi Ning didn't have that courage, what if he wore it back, what if he was already dead in that time and space? The state stipulates compulsory cremation, and if you go back and lose your body, won't you become a wisp of wandering spirit! I searched up and down my body, and there was no jade ring or anything like a gold finger with space. Qi Ning scratched her hair in annoyance, God! Hit me with a thunderbolt and kill me! Qi Ning spent the afternoon in a daze for a while, and then spent an afternoon frantically.

When the sun was about to set, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl walked outside the courtyard gate, with five or six red and green silk flowers on her head, walking with a handkerchief and twisting three times in a big red dress.

"Mother, I'm back, I'm starving. Cook for me. He shouted at the main room as he walked.

Zhong Sushi hurriedly walked out of the house: "Erniang is back, you go and rest, Niang will go and lay two sugar water eggs for you." ”

Qi Ning estimated that this was the eldest girl's second aunt, Zhong Erniang was back.

Zhong Erniang pointed in the direction of Qi Ning's house and asked, "Mother, has the broom star rolled?" ”

Zhong Sushi glanced in Qi Ning's direction and snorted: "Your father and your eldest brother will let her go when they come back from the ground, a ghost girl born in the middle of July, living in our house, will not ruin the reputation of our Zhong family, and the marriage between you and your second brother will be difficult in the future." ”

Zhong Erniang flicked her sleeves and snorted, and said in a weird manner: "I don't care if I have to let her go today, I will go to Xingzi's house to play, and everyone laughs at my house for living with a ghost girl." As he spoke, his eyes glanced contemptuously at the window.

"Bah, what the hell, this shabby house begs the old lady, and the old lady is not rare." Qi Ning couldn't help but stand up angrily when she heard this, forcibly endured the discomfort on her body, walked to the door in a few steps, and said to the two of them, holding on to the door frame.

"If you don't want to live, get out of here, don't dirty our old Zhong family's house." Zhong Sushi hurriedly pulled Zhong Erniang's sleeve as he spoke, and said, "Go into the house, don't quarrel with this broom star, you are a girl who has not been out of the pavilion, and it will not be good to ruin your reputation." ”

Zhong Erniang snorted proudly, squinted at Qi Ning with the tips of her eyes, and said, "If you want to get out, it's early, you get out, let's hurry up and smoke Ai to get rid of bad luck." ”

"You...... Do you think the old lady loves to come, bring the old lady's silver, and the old lady will leave your broken house without delay! Qi Ning was angry, and pointed to Zhong Erniang and stepped into the courtyard.

"Erniang, you go into the house." Zhong Sushi opened his mouth and said: "What kind of silver, the old lady didn't take a penny of silver from you!" Don't try to slander people. Uneducated things, dare to call my old lady and old mother, is this how your Qi family's tutor is? No wonder your mother threw you down when she ran. ”

"Hmph, the Zhong family's upbringing is nothing more than that." Qi Ning snorted coldly, he was really too lazy to entangle with this kind of old shrew, and turned around and came back to the room just now. He sneered in his heart: "The mad dog bites you, is it possible for you to bite back?" Why bother with all this shit? Like a mad dog. ”

Zhong Erniang was not angry, stood at the door of the main room, pointed to Qi Ning's house and asked with a hideous face: "You have come since yesterday, and everything you eat and drink must be counted as money, and you must keep the food money for these two days." Don't try to eat food for nothing. ”

"I've never been asleep, I haven't seen a grain of rice, I just drank half a bowl of water, can't you give you money for water, this water is from the well in the river, not you planted it and you harvested it, there is no such reason in the world." Qi Ning opened the window and looked at Zhong Erniang coldly.

Qi Ning's sharpness and sharpness, as well as the cold eyes, made Zhong Erniang, who was bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, shrink her neck and turn around and go back to the house.

Seeing Zhong Erniang being angry, Qi Ning had a feeling of pleasure, and couldn't help but sigh: "The wicked still have to grind evil." ”

Zhong Sushi glanced at Qi Ning with an inquiring gaze, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to brush the pot and cook for Zhong Erniang.

Qi Ning picked up the bowl and drank the remaining half of the bowl of water in one go, threw the bowl on the table, and sat on the creaking broken wooden bench to look at the room.

This room is probably the eldest girl's house, a small half room, and under the window is a plate of earthen kang, and the wood along the kang is bad. There was a dirty and hard quilt on the tattered kang mat, and there was not even a cupboard for clothes, only a few old patched dresses were stacked on the kang head, and the door was under the kang, a table in the corner of the wall, and a broken wooden stool. The walls are adobe, not even white-plastered, and grass stubble is exposed.

Seeing this, he touched his face with his rough hand and sighed: "I don't know what this original body looks like, if it's an ugly monster, it will be bad, although my sister is not a shameful flower, but from college to work, there has always been a little brother who secretly poked and poked flowers and sent notes." When I was in school, my grandmother told me that the shelf life of love in school is too short, but the sequelae will last a lifetime. I really didn't meet the heartbeat, but I didn't wait for the prince to ride a white horse to pick me up, and I fell into this inexplicable place. ”

In his previous life, Qi Ning's parents died when she was less than seven years old, and she was brought up by her grandmother, who was a thin and kind old lady since she could remember. Before her grandmother retired, she was the director of an orphanage under the civil affairs department of her hometown, and after her parents died, her grandmother retired early and came to the city where Qi Ning's parents worked to take care of her life full-time. Half a year before the crossing, my grandmother had a heart attack and fainted in the vegetable market, and when Qi Ning rushed to the hospital, the doctor shook his head at the panicked Qi Ning and said; "Let's go in and see you one last time, and if you have anything to ask, just ask."

When Qi Ning rushed in, her grandmother opened her eyes, touched Qi Ning's hair as if she was in good spirits, and said, "Ning Ning, grandma is afraid that she won't be able to wait for you to get married." Back then, your parents' accident compensation money was not touched, and grandma kept it for you. And grandma's salary card also has some money, and you can live well with this money. Send your grandmother back to her hometown and bury her next to your grandfather. And grandma's things, if you don't use them, send them to old people's homes and orphanages, and whoever is useful can use them....." Grandma struggled to sit up.

"Grandma, don't move, you're fine, the doctor said you can be discharged from the hospital in a few days, grandma, don't scare me." Qi Ning pressed her grandmother's hand in a panic.

"Good boy, don't be afraid, everyone has this day, the only regret is that grandma can't see my condensation put on the wedding dress..... Your temper is too strong, and you must endure more when you encounter things in the future. You have to remember that being kind is harder than being smart. Being smart is a gift, and being kind is a choice. Kindness is the most precious quality, it cleanses and melts away all calamities. ”

"Grandma, grandma......." Qi Ning shouted hoarsely while trying to wake up her grandmother, who had slowly closed her eyes. Thinking of this, Qi Ning slowly closed his eyes, and two lines of tears rolled down and dripped down his cheeks.

"Mother, we're back." Qi Ning was raising his hand to wipe away his tears, when he heard a rough shout from outside the hospital.

"Big brother, let me tell you, if you don't drive that ghost girl out today, don't blame me for not recognizing you as a brother." Zhong Erniang pointed her voice and said behind a man in his thirties standing in the courtyard, "Dad, you don't care about the second brother, that ghost girl lives here, and the people in the village are laughing at us, who will dare to propose marriage to me and the second brother in the future." ”

"Is she awake?" Zhong Dahe asked with wide eyes.

Zhong Erniang nodded, pouted and said: "I've woken up a long time ago, that Mourning Star Hades Palace is not rare to want her, and just now she came out and crossed her waist to scold me and my mother." Qi Ning looked at the Zhong family in the courtyard, this group of snobbish so-called relatives, why bother to bother, everyone is human, why does my sister deserve to be abused? Why do you still use hot faces to stick to their cold butts, and they haven't gotten good yet?

"Give me my stuff and I'll go right away." Qi Ning frowned and looked at the people in the courtyard.

"Ning girl, you're awake, since you want to leave, I won't stop you." Zhong Dashan put down his hoe and looked at Qi Ning and said, "Why don't you wait for your aunt to come back and say, your things are in her custodian." ”

"Ning Ning, why did you come out...... As she was talking, Qi walked in with a bundle of firewood on her back from outside the courtyard gate, in fact, she had heard it all outside the wall, but she gave birth to a daughter after marrying for more than ten years, and a woman who could not give birth to a son in this era could be abandoned, and she had been a cow and a horse in the Zhong family all these years, and she had no right to speak at all. In charge, Ning Ning woke up in a coma for several days, and she was still weak and ruthless, not to mention that she was a girl who had not left the pavilion, alone, and there was really nowhere to go. ”

Over the years, the Qi family has been living very silent and inferior, marrying the father-in-law of the Zhong family who doesn't care about the trivial matters of the family, her mother-in-law is fierce, her sister-in-law is domineering, and her husband is foolish, she has always been a transparent person. And Qi Ning in her previous life has been spicy since she was a child, climbing the wall and going up the house like a boy, she is the head of the children in the community, and the grandparents in the community shook their heads when they saw her.

"Auntie, you're back." Qi Ning looked at Qi's low-voiced face, and the big girl who followed in was like a frightened rabbit, put down the bamboo basket on her back and secretly ran back to the house along the corner.

"Is my stuff with you? Give it to me, and I'll go. ”

"Just a few clothes in my room." After Qi finished speaking, he glanced at Zhong Dashan and immediately lowered his head cowardly. Qi Ning sighed deeply, this woman is cowardly like this, it was really embarrassing for her to be able to pull herself into this house yesterday, I guess she didn't dare to tell her in-laws about the silver.

"Give it to me now, this is not my home, and it can't accommodate me. I won't bother you here. ”

"You ....." Qi Shi stole a glance at Zhong Dashan, and saw that he didn't speak, so he took a deep breath and said boldly: "How can you, an unmarried girl, go out and live by yourself, what if you meet a bad person?" ”

"Qi Clan, either let this broom star get out today, or you roll with her. After all these years, you can't even give birth to a son just by eating and not laying eggs, when will it be your turn to call the shots in this family! Zhong Su said viciously.

"Don't embarrass my aunt, I will definitely leave if I say go, give me my things." Qi Ning said as he walked over to Qi and stretched out his hand.

"Daddy!" Qi threw the bundle of firewood on his back and knelt down in front of Zhong Laoshi: "Dad, please, stay Ningning, she is so old, she can do any job, or she will get married in a few years, please Dad!" ”

"Ahem." Zhong Laoshi, who had been silent all the time, turned his head and spit out a mouthful of old phlegm, looked at Qi Ning and sighed: "Ning girl, it's not that the Zhong family doesn't keep you, it's true, everyone I met along the way to work in the field today is talking about you...... Your second uncle and your sister-in-law haven't decided to marry yet, I'm afraid I'll be ...... if I leave you," Zhong Laoshi's swarthy old face flashed with a hint of embarrassment.

"Needless to say, Grandpa Zhong. Thank you for taking me in yesterday, I'll leave now. I won't bother you. ”

"It's not bad for this night, let's leave tomorrow after dinner, and talk to your aunt in the evening." Zhong honestly waved his hand into the hall.

When the others saw Zhong honestly said so, they all went to wash and cook. Even Zhong Erniang only glanced at Qi Ning proudly and didn't say anything more.

Qi Shi looked at Qi Ning with tears worriedly, she was only fifteen years old, she was still a child, she was too incompetent to be an aunt, she couldn't give her a support, and she couldn't suppress the sadness in her heart.

Qi Ning returned to the house and saw that the big girl with red eyes and didn't dare to cry was hiding behind the door, Qi Ning walked up to her and gently stroked the big girl's dry hair, and then looked around the dilapidated house. Hey, now I am a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and when I have the ability in the future, I will definitely help this cousin and aunt Baozi who are sincere to her, although Qi Ning is not the original body, and she has no feelings for them, but this is the first love she felt when she came to this world. Since you can't go back, find a way to live well, and if you come, you can be safe, and it is already the greatest luck to be alive. Other traversers are all mixed up, and they must be able to do the same. In modern times, his parents died early, and there is only one relative, and grandma is very fond of Qi Ning, and she is never willing to reprimand loudly, and here, only this little girl and her bun mother are sincere to themselves, and they will protect and love the eldest girl as a sister in the future.

When Qi Shi came back with a coarse porcelain bowl, Qi Ning took the opportunity to explain his plan again.

"My aunt is useless, I can't keep you, but where can you go to a girl's family?" Qi Shi looked worried, and pulled out a smile with difficulty, she reached out and stroked Qi Ning's thin pointed little face, sighed, and said, "It's all my aunt who is useless, and let you two sisters suffer." ”

Qi Ning blinked and suppressed the impatience in her heart and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I'm no problem alone, I'll take you and the eldest girl over to live for a few days when I'm settled." ”

The eldest girl also said: "Mother, don't be sad, Sister Ning is better to go out and find a way to live than to stay here as a cow and a horse." When we are free, we will go and see Sister Ning. "

Qi sighed and shook his head helplessly, and finally went back to the house and took a gray coarse cloth purse.

"Ning Ning, fortunately, my aunt didn't tell her mother-in-law the truth, I only said that your mother sold the things at home and ran away with Qi Shu. Although your house is broken, but the yard is large, plus more than two acres of vegetable garden, a total of thirty taels of silver were sold, and I originally planned to secretly keep it for you as a dowry, but my aunt was incompetent......" Qi said and cried again.

"Auntie, don't cry, don't worry, I'll be doing well, and when I stand still, I'll ask someone to bring you a letter." Qi Ning said helplessly, after all, she is not a deity, and she doesn't have much affection for Qi, although she understands that Qi's is really worried, but what can she do.

Qi Ning took the purse and opened it to take a look, she had really never seen such silver in her previous life. Leave a small silver ingot, and some broken silver horns of different sizes, the size of a dime and a coin on the copper plate, greasy at a glance, I don't know how many hands have been groping.

"I didn't dare to take out the silver yesterday, and if I did, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to keep it. This one is about forty taels in total, and there is a bit of copper plate. Most of them are secretly saved by my aunt doing embroidery work over the years, don't be too little, take it to rent a house first, and then my aunt will find a way to make it up for you. ”

"No, auntie. Even if I borrow this money from you, I will return it to you when I have it, and it will not be easy for you to save some money. Qi Ning put her purse in her arms, she is poor and white now, and it is difficult to say whether it will be good or bad to step out of this door tomorrow, so I will not push it now, and I will definitely double her in the future.

"Auntie, you don't need to return it, are you going to go?"

In her previous life, Qi Ning lived in the city since she was a child, and the countryside and mountains were unfamiliar to her, so she felt that she should go to a prosperous place to see if there was any way.

"I want to go to the city, but I don't know how?"

"I know in the city, I used to follow my father and grandfather to deliver mountain goods, and tomorrow morning I will send you to the village entrance to take an ox cart, and the three pennies will be paid, and it will arrive in about an hour." The big girl eagerly grabbed the road.

"Ningning, what can you do when you go to the city? Food and housing cost money, it is better for you to rent a house in the village, and I beg your uncle to rent you a few acres of land to plant, and you can barely eat. ”

"Auntie, do you think I can plant the land with this body?" Qi Ning stretched out his little hand like a chicken claw.

"Hey, my aunt won't let you go hungry, I'll figure it out when the time comes." Qi looked at Qi Ning, who was thin and unshapely, and had no idea for a while.

"There are many people in the city, there are many opportunities, maybe I will find a job soon, aunt, don't worry, I will definitely do it." Qi Ning comforted Qi in a firm tone, and also cheered himself up.

"Hey, think about it again, I'll wash the dishes." Qi hung his head and went out.

At night, Qi Ning and the eldest girl lay on the hard kang mat, wrapped in a bed of tattered quilts with a peculiar smell, chatting in the east and west.

"Big girl, are there many shops in the city?"

"That's it, I'm dazzled." The eldest girl said with a yearning face: "There are so many delicious foods, and there are many shops selling beautiful clothes and satin, but my father won't let me go in to see them." ”

"Is that expensive?"

"It should be expensive, my father and grandfather both went with dry food, and they ate a few mouthfuls of dry food on the way, where are they willing to eat in the city."

"Big girl, when I earn money, I will take you to eat all the delicious food in the city."

"Really?" The big girl sat up excitedly and asked loudly.

"Really, trust me." Qi Ning smiled and dragged her to lie down.

"What are you howling in the middle of the night, what is a dead thing, don't you hurry up and put out the lights." Zhong Sushi had just come out of the latrine, and when he saw the lights in the big girl's house, he was immediately angry.

The big girl sat up in fright and blew out the dim oil lamp with a pop.

Listening to the sound of Zhong Su's door closing, the two of them muttered in a low voice until late at night.

The next day, as soon as the sky leaked out of the white belly of the fish, the eldest girl woke up the dizzy Qi Ning, the two of them washed briefly by the well in the yard, Qi Ning had a somewhat swollen face, took the package with dry food and a few clothes handed over by Qi, and stepped out of the gate of the Zhong family.

The rest of the Zhong family didn't know whether they were pretending to be asleep or not waking up, and there was silence in the courtyard. Yesterday, Qi Ning was the best who had seen this family, and she was mean and unkind, these people were not worth saying goodbye to in her eyes, especially Zhong Su and Zhong Erniang.

Qi Ning patted Qi's back soothingly, and followed Erya along the dirt road in front of the door to the entrance of the village. Just after walking a few steps, he heard a cry coming from inside, Qi Ning's face sank, and he ran up with Erya. What if you are reluctant, instead of crying and crying, it is better to quickly find a livelihood to stabilize your footing.

The eldest girl frowned, and hurriedly led Qi Ning to the entrance of the village, she also knew that this cry belonged to her mother, but in her opinion, it was better to go out and find a way to live than to suffer as a cow and a horse in this family. She can't leave, and if she can, she will leave this indifferent home, and she will no longer be beaten and scolded by her grandmother and aunt.

Seeing an ox cart parked at the entrance of the village from a distance, there were already a few women who had entered the city on the car, Er Ya stopped and said to Qi Ning reluctantly: "Sister Ning, you can enter the city by taking this ox cart, he will send you to the city gate, you just give the car owner three cents, you must come back to see me." After Erya finished speaking, she wiped her tears and ran away, she still had to go to hunt pigweed, and when she went back, her grandmother was going to scold again.

Qi Ning sighed and walked towards the ox cart.

There was a woman standing by the ox cart, who had also just arrived, and beside the woman, a boy of five or six years old with two slug tubes was pulling at the placket of her clothes, looking at Qi Ning curiously with a pair of big innocent eyes.

Qi Ning took out three cents from his purse and handed it to the car boss, then got into the car and found a place to sit down, the car boss pulled the reins and threw a whip, and the ox cart swayed towards the city.

Looking at the gossiping eyes of the women in the car, Qi Ning turned his head to look at the scenery along the way with a cold face, not giving them a chance to find something to say. The road was full of potholes, and the ox cart had no shock absorption, and Qi Ning, who was bumped up, was about to fall apart, and finally got on the pipeline, which was slightly better.
