In the early morning of September, before the sun has risen, mist hangs over the village. Farmers are always used to getting up early. Although it is not very bright, the cockcrow has already sounded, and people have already gotten up and are preparing for the day's work.
.The smoke slowly rose, and the smell of rice wafted from many people's homes.
There is a courtyard at the foot of Xiaoqingshan Mountain. The courtyard is very large, with an area of three acres, and is surrounded by walls. However, there are very few houses inside. There is a main house with east and west wing rooms. The main house only has three rooms.
The house is quite spacious, with a wing on each side. There is a kitchen and a warehouse behind the main house. There are some divided vegetable plots by the well in the front yard, where some seasonal vegetables are grown, but some are Xixi Lala and some are not.
It is greenish-yellow and looks malnourished, probably because the owner has not taken care of it.
"It's really unlucky. It's easy to get into trouble again. It's really annoying." An impatient voice came from the east room. After a while, the door opened, and a man in blue clothes, about forty years old, with a build came out.
The slightly fat woman had a bad complexion and a bored expression on her mean face. She walked quickly to the door of the west room, lifted the curtain, opened the door and went inside.
The west room is a bit dark. A shabby bed is placed on the west side of the room with a coarse bed curtain hanging on it. There is a table by the window with teapots, cups and other items on it, but they all look simple and crude.
There is a small table next to it, which contains some girls' toiletries. There is a box on the east side of the room. Looking at the shabby condition of the box, you can tell that there is nothing valuable inside without opening it.
Lying on the bed was a little girl of about seven or eight years old, covered with a coarse quilt, lying there quietly. Her hair was withered and yellow, her complexion was not good, some were sallow and dull, her pale lips were chapped, some were peeling, and her eyes were tight.
With it closed, only the slight trembling of the nose can reveal some signs of life.
The woman in blue walked to the bed, her expression of disgust and sarcasm became even more obvious. She pushed the girl lying on the bed with her hand and said, "Sister Zhu, wake up." Looking at the motionless person on the bed, Lan
The woman in clothes panicked a little, and pushed harder with more force. "Sister Zhu, Sister Zhu, wake up, wake up." Seeing that the girl still didn't move, she put her hand on the front of the girl's nose and said,
Her trembling hands did not feel the slight movement. The woman in blue was completely stunned. She hurriedly turned around and walked out. She went out looking for someone in a panic. "Old man, old man, where are you? Come here quickly." Her voice was a little loud.
Trembling, "It's not good, it's not good, old man, where are you?" The frightened scream of the woman in blue could be heard in the yard, as well as the sound of footsteps looking for someone everywhere.
At this time, the sickly girl lying on the bed in the West Room, her eyelashes trembling slightly as she closed her eyes, slowly opened her eyes. But her eyes were full of confusion, "What's going on?" She wanted to raise her hand, but
Finding that her arms were weak, she moved her legs again. The legs were also weak, and her whole body lay flat and stiff. This discovery surprised her. The person who was traveling around the mountains and rivers one second, now looked like a stranger the next second.
Lying like a vegetative person. Looking around again, I was no longer surprised, but shocked. The dilapidated house, simple and old decoration, and the coarse cloth bed tent had reached the point of being scrapped. Under the dim light in the room
, the old-fashioned room decorations were revealed in front of her eyes one by one. "This, this, where is this?" She looked at the items around, looking for something familiar to her, but the fact shocked her again. This was not the place she had once been.
There was nothing familiar to her in the place where she lived. Only scenes that appeared in costume TV dramas appeared in front of her.
The shocking fact made her ignore her weak body and forced herself to sit up. She tried to stand up by holding on to the bedside, but her eyes glanced at the hand holding the bedside and she was startled again. She was small and thin.
Dry, slender, and bloodless, this was not her hand. She looked at her body again. She looked like a seven or eight-year-old girl, but she had a completely malnourished body, similar to the body of an African refugee child that she had seen before.
There was no difference. I saw a bronze mirror on the dressing table, and reluctantly staggered to the front of the mirror. The mirror reflected an unclear image. What kind of person was that? With dry and yellow hair, and a pale face.
Under the sparse eyebrows, a pair of eyes are empty and lifeless. Under the small nose, the white lips are chapped and peeled. The clavicle is protruding under the thin neck. The small body is wearing a washed white green dress.
This is obviously a child who has not recovered from a long-term illness, not the originally healthy, somewhat chubby, rosy-faced adult named Lin Zhu.
The impact of the image in the mirror made Lin Zhu take a few steps back, and she fell down beside the bed, dazed. Her originally pale face turned a little gray. Before she could recover, she thought about what was going on.
Where is her son? A loud shout of "old man" came from outside the house. She was so frightened that she subconsciously got into the quilt, lay down again, and pretended to be asleep.
In the yard outside the house, the woman in blue was still searching anxiously and kept shouting. A man in Ge Yi who was about forty-five years old and holding a cigarette pole walked in from outside the yard: "Here we come, stop shouting, from now on."
Your voice can be heard in the outer courtyard, what's the big deal, you have to shout so loudly and furiously." The man in Geyi complained, putting down his cigarette rod and looking at the woman in blue.
"Oh, why are you wandering around like you have nothing to do? Sister Zhu is not well again. She looks like she is going to die. You should go and have a look. Maybe you have to go find Dr. Zhang."
The woman in blue grabbed the man's hand and walked towards the west room.
"Okay, let go first," the man broke away from the woman's hand, "Don't make a fuss, isn't she always like that? The doctor also said, just rest and rest."
"It's not that simple this time. Didn't we tell her that? She got sick after hearing it, and now she is lying there without any movement. I pushed her, but there was no reaction. If it is true,
It's not good, what should I do? I can't explain it even when I go back." The woman in blue said anxiously.
"What else do I need to explain to? Who should I explain to? Now the matter is a foregone conclusion. She is no longer the eldest lady in the house, and there is no hope of going back. The government has severed ties with her. We are just doing our best here.
It's just a split. Besides, we have to go back in a few days. She can only resign herself to fate." The man said nonchalantly, "Okay, let's go in and take a look."
The man entered the west room first, followed closely by the woman in blue. When Lin Zhu, who was pretending to be asleep in the room, heard the sound, her heart skipped a beat, fearing that they would notice something was wrong. She also understood.
Her current situation is the legendary "time travel", but what bothers her is how she came over without any problems, did not die in this world, and just traveled through time, what will happen to her own body?
Yeah? And it seems to have been worn in ancient times.
Even though she understands the current situation, she has no memory of the original owner at all. If she faces someone who is familiar with the original owner and is found to be too different from before and after, she may be treated as a monster and can be captured, then it will be a serious problem.
The sound of the two people entering the room was approaching, and Lin Zhu continued to pretend to be asleep. The man in Ge Yi and the woman in blue approached the bed. The woman stepped forward and pushed the person with her eyes closed on the bed, "Sister Zhu, Zhu
Sister, wake up, Manager Lin and I are here to see you." There was still no movement on the bed. The woman looked at the man helplessly, but this time she found that Lin Zhu was still breathing, which reassured her a lot.
"Old man, it seems to be getting better now. Why don't you ask Dr. Zhang to come and take a look at it soon?" The woman looked at the man with some worry.
The man in Ge Yi, also known as Steward Lin in the woman's mouth, was originally a steward of the outer courtyard. More than seven years ago, he and his wife Wang were sent to this village to take care of the eldest daughter who was just one month old.
Manager Lin looked at the sleeping person on the bed and couldn't help but think of what happened the night before.
"Old man, what do you mean just now is that there is news from the house? Is it good news or bad news?" Wang looked anxiously at Manager Lin who had just returned from town, "There is news. Today
I went to town and received a letter from the government." Manager Lin said a little seriously, "What did the letter say? Oh, please tell me quickly, why don't you let us go back? How long are we going to stay in this wretched place? Huh?
"Ms. Wang was a little flustered when she saw Manager Lin being silent, and kept urging her.
"We can go back." Manager Lin looked at Ms. Wang and said softly.
"Really!?" Wang's voice was full of surprise, "We can really go back? It's great, it's great, we can finally go back. God bless us." "But..." Although she was happy, she was a little incoherent.
, but Mrs. Wang still found that something was wrong with Manager Lin, "What's wrong with you? Are you not happy to be able to return to the house?"
"No, of course I'm very happy to be able to go back, but we can go back, but Sister Zhu can't go back." Manager Lin's voice was a little low, "The government said it was severing the relationship with Sister Zhu, and she is no longer
She is the eldest lady in the mansion and she is not allowed to go back."
"What do you mean? Are you not going to let Sister Zhu go back with us? Then where will she go? Didn't it mean that her mother has always disagreed with her going there?" Ms. Wang was a little at a loss and a little anxious.
She no longer wants to stay in this small village in the countryside. "The government means that this village was originally given to her by her mother, so she should stay here and put her household registration here. From now on, she will stay here."
We must fend for ourselves. However, we can’t tell Sister Zhu what’s going on in the mansion, not even a tiny bit. The person who sent the message was the chief manager of the mansion, and he specifically told us that if Sister Zhu knows what’s going on in the mansion,
, when the time comes, we won’t be able to eat and walk away. You have to keep your mouth shut and don’t say anything that shouldn’t be said. Do you understand?” Manager Lin seriously warned Mrs. Wang, for fear that she would not usually do so.
Be careful, if you accidentally say something out of your mouth, it will cause serious problems.
