Chapter 1 The beginning of the story

As time goes by, there are gaps in the way of heaven. Zhuang Zhou dreamed of butterflies, a dream of life and death.

On July 8, 1994, the Year of the Dog, a child suddenly cried loudly in the central hospital of a small county in Jiangnan Province.

I don't know whether it is the memory of the past life or the prediction of this life, but a vague memory keeps lingering in Gu Yi's mind.

He knows that his name is Gu Yi, he knows that his father is Gu Jinnan, his mother is Zhou Xiaoying, his grandfather is Gu Yunsong, and his grandmother is Jiang Yuezhen.

In his memory, he had a plain and warm life. In the first half of his life, he struggled for his career, which was good or bad. In the second half of his life, he retired leisurely. He wanted to regain his youthful dream, write and draw, and he gained something, but it was limited after all.

I had the regrets of my youth, but also the freedom and ease of my old age. I missed it, but finally let it go. With my children and grandchildren at my knees, and someone waiting on me in front of my sick bed, I finally closed my eyes with peace of mind.

As his consciousness gradually fell into darkness and silence, a sigh lingered faintly in his heart.

In a warm package, Gu Yi's consciousness faintly woke up again.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand in the darkness. Before Gu Yi could figure out his current situation, the space around him contracted, and a huge pressure pushed him in a certain direction.

Gu Yi reacted immediately, and with the push, he squeezed out with all his strength. Suddenly, his whole body relaxed, and a chill came over him. Several big hands immediately dragged him back, and his lungs seemed to be blocked by something.

There was a general feeling of suffocation, and Gu Yi instinctively wanted to cough.

"Wow~! Wow~! Wow~!" The baby's clear cry echoed throughout the delivery room.

Gu Yi, who had just been born, seemed to have exhausted all his strength. After a while, he was exhausted and tired, and fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, but when Gu Yi woke up again, he found that he was already in a white ward, his body wrapped in a warm blanket, lying next to a frail woman, surrounded by people full of joy and joy.

There was another chaotic discussion.

With just one glance, Gu Yi knew that the woman caressing him tenderly was his mother Zhou Xiaoying.

The familiar figures in my memory, the two old men in plain clothes, full of joy and good looks, are my grandfather Gu Yunsongsong and my second grandfather Gu Yunqing. The two grandmothers are sitting at the bedside caring for their mother, and the uncle and aunt are taking the young ones with them.

The eldest sister stood quietly aside, while her cousin looked at her curiously.

"Since it's a boy, let's call him Gu Yi!" Grandpa Gu Yunsong's loud and steady voice came next to his ears.

The wheel of fate seems to have returned to its original trajectory. Gu Yi is still called Gu Yi, so will the life in his memory be the trajectory of his life?

Even the same soul will never flow through the same river of life twice. The meaning of coming again may be for change.

Perhaps because the newborn soul is still relatively weak, in the next month or two, Gu Yi still sleeps for a long time and wakes up for a short time every day.

Although he doesn't have much waking time, whenever he is awake, Gu Yi always pays careful attention to everything happening around him.

"Jinnan, Jinping, what do you think about your uncle Han Xi's plan to replace the land in front of our house?" It was his grandfather Gu Yunsong's voice, and Gu Yi faintly woke up from his sleep.

"What's going on!" Gu Yi glanced around.

Something seems to be wrong. Isn't this in the main house of my family? My grandfather Gu Yunsong, my uncle Gu Jinping and my father are all here. The men in charge of the family are all here in front of the Eight Immortals table, as are the female relatives of several families.

Standing quietly aside.

One look at this posture, it must be something big.

"What did grandpa ask just now?" Gu Yi suddenly remembered what grandpa Gu Yunsong seemed to have said when he woke up just now.

"Change the place? Change the place!" Gu Yi woke up suddenly.

"Replacing the land is a big deal, and it is also related to your own interests in the future, so I specially called you here this time to ask your opinions and see what you think."

"Hasn't the village relaxed its policies now? Your cousin Han Xi is also planning to move out of the old house. He plans to exchange the two pieces of fertile land at the foot of the back hill for the land in front of our house to use as a homestead. This matter

I mainly rely on your opinions." Grandpa Gu Yunsong said quietly while looking at the two of them.

"Sure enough, this is what happened!" Gu Yi was shocked.

The Gu family's house is built in an east-west direction, with eight two-story adobe houses connected together.

To the east is an open space with a few plum and peach trees and a small pond, covering an area of ​​about 200 square meters. There are bamboo forests on three sides. There is a path that is used by other families to walk from their own fields to the vegetable fields.

To the west, there is an old willow tree connected to a small soil slope of dozens of square meters, and a wide gravel road connects to the pond road in the village.

There is a drying field in front of the house, and under a small ridge across an aqueduct is the Gu family's ten acres of fertile farmland. Next to the farmland, there are several village fish ponds, some large and some small, and now they seem to be in full swing.

Contracted by other people in the village. At a glance, the fragrance of rice in the lotus pond is all that can be seen.

The old house has a wide view, is surrounded by mountains and rivers, has plenty of sunshine, and is transparent from north to south, making it an excellent place to live.

"You must not change it!"

After the land was replaced in later generations, Uncle Han Xi's family built a three-story building, which blocked most of the lighting in his home. It blocked the wind in summer and the sun in winter, and the sunbathing area became a decoration.

Later, they even circled the land and built a wall to cut off their home and fields. If you want to go to the fields, you have to go around it.

In the following years, the old willow tree in front of his house was cut down. Gu Yi didn't know why the old willow tree was cut down. He only remembered that when it was cut down, the old willow tree was already half a meter in diameter, which was taller than his small building.

The vitality of the old willow tree is always very strong. Every year in March and April, a clump of new green covers the treetops, and green threads are like waves. In May, catkins are flying all over the sky. When I was a child, I liked to run around the old willow tree chasing the flying catkins.

Later, the orchard to the east was also bulldozed, and several fruit trees were cut down and burned. The small pond was filled in with the screws and loaches stocked in it, and a red brick factory building was built to house several of the family's things.

Textile machine.

A cement road was poured in the village, and a concrete floor was poured in front of his house. The surrounding area was much cleaner and tidier, but Gu Yi always felt that something was missing, maybe it was just the familiar earthy smell.

When their parents grew old, the Gu Yi brothers and sisters suddenly came up with the idea of ​​building two villas as a manor for the elderly of the two families to provide for their retirement. However, it was extremely difficult to take back the land in front of their door.

Fortunately, the brothers' development was pretty good. When the two elders of Uncle Han Xi's family passed away, they spent a million dollars to take back their original land from their sons.

In retrospect, this is one of the worst things that happened to Gu Yi's family. Now at the critical turning point of this incident, if Gu Yi doesn't do something, then God will really give him this opportunity to live a new life.

Yi himself could slap himself to death.

"Is it the small area at the foot of the hill behind Cousin Han Xi's house? There must be seven or eight acres of land, all fertilized by the waiter!" The surprised murmur of his father Gu Jinnan came to his ears, interrupting Gu Yi's words.

remember.

"It turns out that the culprit is my father!"

Looking around, Gu Yi saw his uncle Gu Jinping's excited eyes, his grandfather Gu Yunsong's frowning expression, his aunt's solemn expression, and his mother's look of confusion.

Gu Yi felt that he had to do something. Maybe the baby's spiritual sense was more sensitive. Gu Yi felt that in fact, his grandfather Gu Yunsong and his eldest aunt Yang Yan had different views on the matter of land replacement.

It can be done!

“The area behind the mountain”

"Wow wow wow wow"

Gu Jinping was about to speak, but before he was halfway through his speech, Gu Yi burst into tears and interrupted his speech. His crying was so heartbreaking!

Gu Yi's strong penetration instantly interrupted the thinking of several people, and several people focused their gazes. Seeing that everyone was focusing on him, Gu Yi decisively remained silent and lay quietly.
