There was fine snow falling in the sky, and the yellow river was boundless as far as the eye could see. She was floating in the water, struggling hard, trying to catch something, trying to breathe freely again, but all she got was the cold river water flowing from her mouth and nose.
It spread into her lungs, like thousands of steel needles piercing it, causing pain and numbness... Lin Jinrong smiled sadly in the midst of ups and downs.
This may be her fate, but she shouldn’t have died, and neither did Lychee. If those ungrateful people hadn’t abandoned them, if that person hadn’t left forever, she shouldn’t have ended up in this situation - in order to avoid being gangsters.
The soldiers insulted them and threw them into the river. She didn't understand why she treated them sincerely and wholeheartedly, but in the end, she became the one abandoned?
A wave hit her, and her vision went dark. She was too lazy to move a finger, so be it. In a daze, she seemed to hear someone calling her name, but she was too lazy to open her eyes. Who could it be? It was nothing more than that.
It was just an illusion. Even he had abandoned her. Who else would care about her life or death.
Lin Jinrong woke up from the nightmare, dripping with cold sweat, and her clothes were soaked with sweat. She desperately grabbed the cold silk quilt under her body, gasping for air, as if she wanted to get back all the breath that had been delayed just now. She gasped for more than ten times in a row.
Only then did she realize that she was still on the small carved and lacquered bed in her parents' home. She had just been dreaming, and she was still alive. She loosened her stiff hands slumped, slumped on the bed, and counted herself in the darkness.
Very rapid heartbeat.
... Her heartbeat never stopped. She reminded herself that she was living well and God had mercy on her. When she woke up, she was back to her childhood. Before everything happened, she still had a chance.
"Did the girl have another nightmare?" Wet nurse Gui carefully placed the green porcelain oil lamp in her hand on the table, hung the half-old rain-stained azure gauze tent on the silver hook, and looked at Lin Jinrong inside the tent.
In the semi-darkness, Lin Jinrong's eyes were bright, with a hint of panic and confusion on her face. The few strands of hair on her forehead were soaked with cold sweat and stuck wetly to her smooth forehead, making her originally thin and white.
The oval face is more delicate and white.
Although Aunt Gui didn't see her answer, she knew that she had indeed had a nightmare. She couldn't help but sigh slightly. She just touched her hand and went to get her a change of clothes in a familiar way. She also asked the outsiders to listen with open ears.
Girl Litchi: "Litchi, bring the hot water from the stove and wipe the girl's body. She's all wet with sweat."
The girl Li Zhi also put on her clothes, brought hot water in, and neatly filled the brass basin with hot water. She also took a piece of fragrant cloth and soaked it in it before going forward to help Granny Gui scrub Lin Jinrong.
Change clothes.
Lin Jinrong sat up obediently and silently let them undress and clean her body. The hot cloth was rubbed on her body, which made her feel slightly cool. She gradually stopped shaking and her heartbeat slowed down.
While wiping the cold sweat off Lin Jinrong's body, Aunt Gui asked her caringly: "Girl, what did you dream about just now? It's so pitiful to be so scared."
Lin Jinrong pursed her pale red lips and whispered for a long time: "Don't talk about dreams at night."
Lychee and Aunt Gui looked at each other, and both saw helplessness in each other's eyes. Lychee lowered his head to tie the belt of Lin Jinrong's obscene clothes, and said with a smile: "Girl, let Aunt Gui tell you a story."
In fact, it was because she was worried that Lin Jinrong would be scared and have nightmares again, so she asked Aunt Gui to sleep with her. But Lin Jinrong always wanted to save face, and the Lin family had strict family rules. As early as when she was four years old, the wet nurse could not sleep with her.
That's why I use such euphemistic words.
Lin Jinrong looked up at Lychee, with extremely complicated eyes. Lychee was two years older than her, silent and steady, fair and clean, and her nose was even more beautiful. Lychee had been by Lin Jinrong's side since she could remember. It was her
Her playmate was also her maid. Later, everyone left her and only Lychee stayed with her until her death. If it weren't for Lychee, she wouldn't even have the chance to jump into the river to die.
Lychee was a little embarrassed by Lin Jinrong's staring eyes. She smiled and touched her cheek, waved her hand in front of Lin Jinrong and said, "What are the four girls looking at? Could it be that you haven't woken up yet and don't recognize the slave?"
The girls and boys of the Lin family are ranked according to their clan, so even though Lin Jinrong is the second daughter of the third wife, she has to be called the fourth girl in order.
How could she not recognize it? She remembers it well. Lychee, I will treat you well. I will never make you suffer like that again in this life. Lin Jinrong withdrew his gaze, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and remained silent.
He lay down on his side quietly, smoothed out the hair scattered on the pillow, and said softly: "It's my grandma's birthday. Everyone is busy tomorrow, so there is no room for carelessness. You can go to bed and leave a light for me."
Aunt Gui looked at Li Zhi worriedly again and said softly: "Girl, you..." Ever since the girl got sick half a month ago, she has been having nightmares at night, crying and shouting.
It was quiet when the light was turned on. I thought she was gradually getting better, so I listened to the third wife and turned off the light, but I didn't expect that she would have another nightmare immediately.
Lin Jinrong closed his eyes tiredly: "I'm not young anymore, I know it."
Although she was only twelve years old, she was no longer a little girl. Aunt Gui had no choice but to leave the lamp for her, put down the tent, and quietly walked out with Li Zhi. After closing the door, Aunt Gui whispered
Said: "It's terrible if this goes on. The green shadow under the girl's eyes is getting heavier and heavier, and she has lost her energy. From what I can see, I'm afraid she was very frightened that day. I have to tell the third wife and think of something else."
There is a more effective way." Then he cursed a few times in a low voice: "It's true that the second wife did such immoral things in broad daylight and didn't know how to hide it, which frightened us four girls.
"
Lin Jinrong's eyelids moved slightly.
Auntie Gui was talking about the fourth young master whose second wife was not yet married - her fourth cousin got pregnant with the girl next to the second wife. The second wife aborted the fetus with a bowl of medicine but did not clean it up. Lin Jinrong happened to bump into her.
This frightened her. In her previous life, she was in a trance for nearly a month. She had to ask a doctor and a god at home to get better. But this time, she was not afraid of that thing. This kind of
Things were nothing compared to those things she encountered later! Only those who have witnessed banditry with their own eyes know what life is like!
Li Zhi sighed: "My wife is in trouble, and the third master doesn't care about anything."
Lin Jinrong's biological father, Mr. Lin Sanye, was indifferent and was a loose immortal. When the fourth girl was frightened like this, he just paid a visit twice at the right time. The third wife, Tao, had a strong personality and could not rub the dust out of her eyes.
Be patient and bow your head. The couple is a bitter couple. They have never spoken more than ten words to each other when they were together. They had a big fight over this matter, and they were still in a stalemate without speaking for half a month.
Aunt Gui sighed heavily and was silent for a moment, then excitedly said to Lizhi: "Did you hear that? My aunt will be back tomorrow." She said with a bit of gloating, "You said it's all over now.
It's been several years, and I don't know if the young master she adopted has matured. The child was too old when he was adopted."
"No matter how old he is, he is just a child. He has been away for six or seven years. As long as my aunt treats him well and his heart is full of flesh, I'm afraid it will be about the same." Lychee replied in a low voice.
Lin Jinrong said almost numbly, "No, Lu Yan will never be familiar with him. In his heart, he only has himself and his biological parents, and no one else."
Lin Jinrong felt uncomfortable when she thought of Lu Mian. She tried her best to think of other things, not wanting to think about this name and everything related to it. She looked at the celadon oil-saving lamp on the table through the half-old gauze curtain.
Thinking hard, when I was younger, the family used copper lamps or candles. Later, my grandfather became idle, and there was no outstanding person in my father's generation. Although he had fame, he had never been an official, let alone ran a business. They were all just people.
She is a person who knows how to eat, drink, have fun, sing about the wind and the moon, but her family only has money to pay but not money to pay. However, there are many brothers and sisters in her generation. People in the world talk about wealth when it comes to marriage. After a few happy events, the family has only the old man and the old lady in their room.
, you can only use celadon oil-saving lamps that can save half the oil compared to copper lamps.
She sighed softly, and it turned out that one generation was worse than the other. So at that time, when she got that marriage, the sisters at home were so envious that their eyes lit up with envy. She also thought it was a good marriage... a beautiful marriage, sneer... how?
Thinking of this again? She sneered and shook her head unconsciously. If she remembered correctly, Lu Yan was coming tomorrow too. It was the first time she and him had met since they grew up. Tomorrow, in Lin Jinrong's heart
Suddenly he felt a bit angry and bit his lip so hard that it hurt.
Although there were many things on her mind, she was young after all, so she soon felt that the light was getting darker and darker, and getting further and further away. Gradually, she fell asleep. This time, she slept peacefully.
The sun had just shown half of its head, and a slim figure gently pushed open the carved door leaf with a pot, filled the copper basin by the window with hot water, walked to the bed, opened the curtain, and put his cold hands in
The lotus-colored silk quilt was removed from Lin Jinrong, who was still sleeping.
Lin Jinrong woke up with a start. He squinted his eyes and looked at the Yi Xi Yi Ang face in front of him with a slightly naughty face. A trace of impatience and ridicule flashed in his eyes, but the corners of his lips gently curved in a nice arc:
"Longan."
The girl Gui Yuan is Grandma Gui’s biological daughter. She and Lin Jinrong grew up on Grandma Gui’s milk, and they have been with Lin Jinrong since childhood. When it comes to closeness, Lychee is far behind. Therefore, Gui Yuan is very close to her.
It can be said that Lin Jinrong's attitude was so intimate that it went beyond the ordinary affection between master and servant. Lin Jinrong's treatment of her also exceeded the affection between master and servant. He only wanted to find a good future for her. However, this kind of longan ended up like that.
People who are ungrateful and greedy.
