Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 1 Rebirth Isolation
Chapter 1Isolation

A few rays of morning light spilled into the room through the thin lattice window paper, and the room was dimly lit, filled with a faint damp and musty smell.

The room was low and cramped. On the wall facing the door, there was a plank bed, and the limping foot was barely supported by the piled bricks.

"Xi'er, are you still asleep? Mother came to see you..." A low, slightly hoarse voice sounded in the dark room, and accompanied by very light footsteps, a blue figure gently entered the room.

The visitor was a woman, wearing an old jacket with floral patterns on a blue background, with wide cuffs, a dark blue belt tied around her waist, a crumpled gray skirt underneath, and a simple bun behind her head. Insert a wooden hairpin to fix it.

The woman sat down next to the bed, and there were still wet tears on her dark face.

Her gaze fell on the face of the little girl lying on the bed, and her eye sockets turned red.

The little girl on the bed was about ten years old, her eyes were closed, and there were two smears of unusual redness on her fair face.Lying there, fine sweat continuously broke out on the forehead, and the thin and yellowed hair stuck to the smooth forehead.

The woman's nose was slightly sore, she turned her face away to hold back the tears that were about to pour out, took out a washed white handkerchief from her sleeve, and carefully wiped the sweat off the little girl's forehead.

"Xi'er, mother has made you a soup, drink it while it's hot, and your illness will be cured." The woman suppressed the soreness in her heart, bent down and whispered in the little girl's ear.In the small bowl she held in her hand, the black soup was steaming.

Jin Xi's eyes were closed all the time, her body was light, her head was swollen and painful, her mouth was dry and she wanted to make a sound, but her throat was sore and her lips were hard to move.

What's more tormenting is that, under such a physical condition, those strange and unfamiliar images surged in like a flood breaking through the dam, mixed with Jin Xi's original memory, and almost burst her painful heart. head!

She vaguely felt that the sudden car accident probably knocked her soul into another strange ancient time and space, and attached to this sickly new body.

Those extra memory fragments in my mind should belong to the original owner of this new body, the girl with the same name as myself.

The woman's appearance interrupted the entangled things in Jin Xi's head.

Jin Xi slowly opened her eyes, and saw the woman in front of her bent down, lifting her from the bed lightly and half hugging her in her arms.

The spoon in his hand was slowly brought to Jinxi's lips, and the hoarse voice patiently coaxed into Jinxi's ear, "Xi'er is obedient, drink the medicine before going to sleep, you won't feel bad after drinking the medicine, mother You, come on, open your mouth..."

Jin Xi cheered up and looked at the woman in ancient costume in front of her. She should be about the same age as Jin Xi in her previous life, probably less than thirty, right?

A typical peasant woman's temperament, her complexion is slightly dark, but her eyebrows and eyes are delicate and beautiful. The slightly frowned willow leaf eyebrows seem to be condensed with unresolved worries. The almond eyes are beautiful, but the eyes are dull.

Especially the two black and blue shadows frowning under the eye sockets made her look particularly haggard and tired, as if she hadn't closed her eyes for many days.But at the moment she is looking at Jin Xi with a soft and loving gaze, full of indelible pampering.

"This medicine will be a little bit bitter, but it is extremely useful. The prescription was begged by my mother from the elderly aunts in the village. If Xi'er wants to get better soon and help my mother with work, don't be afraid." Bitter!" The woman smiled softly and earnestly, scooped up a tablespoon and blew gently, and slowly brought it to Jinxi's lips.

Jin Xi overlaps the woman in front of her with the memory in her mind. This person should be the birth mother of this new body, Sun Shi. The Sun Shi in the host's memory never speaks loudly to her daughters.

At the moment when she was a little distracted, the spoon had already been stuffed into her mouth, and a thick and bitter liquid rolled down her throat. The pungent and bitter taste, like a wire of fire, went straight into her internal organs, stimulating her to cough violently.

"It's useless if it's mother, it's useless if it's mother..." Sun cried, distressed and blamed at the same time, frantically wiping the corners of Jin Xi's lips, disposing of the filth she coughed up, turning around and sitting He hugged Jinxi by the bed, stroking Jinxi's back with one hand.

The mother's gentle caress is really the most pleasant enjoyment in the world for a daughter.

In her previous life, her mother had hugged her and caressed her like this. Ever since her parents divorced and started their own families, Jin Xi was sent to foster care at her aunt's house in the countryside. The aunt's house had a lot of land and more children, and no one had ever treated her so tenderly.

Until now, Sun's embrace made her revisit these things, but she was a little guilty, after all, she occupied the body of another girl, although she didn't know it.

Jin Xi gently rubbed against Sun's arms, and suddenly, the cobweb-covered window pane was slapped from outside, and a woman asked loudly outside, "Third siblings, Are you in there?"

Sun was startled, looked up at the half figure reflected on the window, and said, "Second sister-in-law, I'm here, what do you want from me?"

"My mother told you to cook in the kitchen as soon as possible. After the men had breakfast, they still had to go to the fields in the south to pull cotton stalks, so don't delay!" Yang said loudly.

Sun wiped the corners of her eyes, and said hurriedly: "Second Sister-in-law Lao, tell Mother that Xi'er will go as soon as I finish feeding Xi'er here, and there will be no delay."

"Oh, look at my memory, I was so busy urging you to cook that I almost forgot about another matter!" Yang paused, knocked on the window edge and said loudly: "Mother said, there are still ten days left for our family ceremony." Hui is engaged, and the family has to set up a few banquets for the new in-laws. The situation of girl Xi, how unlucky it is to leave the house! What the parents mean is, let you clean up for her these few days, and you have to send it out before then! "

Sun's body froze suddenly, and Jin Xi could feel Sun's body trembling, and she couldn't speak fluently: "Second, Second sister-in-law, what her grandma meant...Where are you going to send me, Xi'er?" go?"

Outside the window, Mrs. Yang pursed her lips and said, "Why are the third younger siblings so confused? Where do we send the strange diseases in our area that cannot be cured? Isn't it just the area behind the willow forest!"

The kiln behind the willow forest?
Sun's head was coaxed, and his mind went blank!
The earthen kiln was built in the deepest part of the forest, behind the majestic mountains, where adobe bricks were fired in the early years, but later a landslide killed people, and the earthen kiln gradually fell into disuse.

Later, at some point in the village, those who died in vain and could not enter the family graves, children who died prematurely due to illness, and those who suffered from strange contagious diseases that could not be cured, would all be sent to that kiln!
In the end, the place became more and more deserted, and people in the village rumored that it was not clean at night.

Because it is backed by mountains, hungry wild wolves in the mountains often go there to look for food.

Doesn't it mean that girl Xi is waiting to die if she is sent to the kiln?

Sun's face was already pale, his whole body was drenched in cold sweat, his lips were trembling and he couldn't speak a word.

Instinctively, the arm tightly hugged the daughter in his arms, lest she would disappear if she let go!
Mrs. Yang did not wait for Mrs. Sun's response outside, so she sneered twice, patted the window impatiently, and raised her voice again: "I have already mentioned everything, so you can figure it out yourself!"

After saying this, Yang covered her nose and ran away with the wind on her feet.

It took a long time for Sun to regain his senses from the shock, and saw the daughter in his arms looking at her with blank eyes. Sun felt that a big stone was pressed on his chest, and he couldn't breathe.

"Don't take what Second Mom said seriously, your grandpa...your grandfather is not such a cruel person..." Sun patted Jinxi's head and muttered, not knowing whether to tell Jinxi or herself Listen, these words sound unfounded.

In Sun's eyes, Jin Xi saw a mother's deep fear and despair. Although Sun tried her best to hide it, Jin Xi was no longer a pure ten-year-old girl in her heart.

After Mrs. Sun was urged away by Mrs. Yang, Jin Xi was the only one left in the dark little room.

Jin Xi no longer has the intention to close her eyes, staring straight at the dilapidated beams on the roof that are covered with cobwebs in a daze.

From Yang's words just now, she heard that she was in a very bad situation during this trip, at most ten days, she would be thrown into the kiln behind the woods to wait to die.

Think about it too, in the rural areas of this era, medical care should be backward.The host is another little girl who is suffering from a strange disease in the eyes of everyone, and the medicine stone is ineffective, and even contagious!

The host's lobby brother, Liang Lihui, is the eldest grandson of the old Liang's parents, and also the first scholar from the old Liang's family. He must have taken a lot of care in the engagement banquet. How could he keep such an unlucky person at home?

Being sent by the family to wait for death in an earthen kiln is probably taken for granted in the eyes of everyone. Even if there is Sun's objection, it is definitely weak enough to be ignored.

Jin Xi sighed secretly, then thought again, since medical care is backward in this era, there should be some misdiagnosis!Regardless of whether it is a strange disease that is incurable in everyone's eyes, Jin Xi can't just wait to feed the wolves in the earthen kiln without doing anything, at least be reborn, and let others control her fate like this, that's not okay!
Her eyes were a little sore, Jin Xi closed her eyes again, and began to search in her mind for some fragments of life before the host's illness, trying to find some clues from them.

The sun had just risen at this time, and it was hanging in the east, and the hills in the east were shining red.

The kitchen in the backyard of Lao Liang’s house.

Mrs. Sun hurried to the backyard, but before she had time to enter the kitchen, the door of the east wing opened with a creak, and Mrs. Yang came out of the house with a basin of water. She had just finished serving Mrs. Tan to comb her hair and wash her face, and was about to come out pour water.

"Hey, isn't that the third younger sibling? You are finally expected. Now our family can have breakfast!" Yang called Sun to stop, and greeted happily.

Mrs. Sun had a bad idea, paused her footsteps, lowered her head, gave a low hum, and was about to enter the kitchen, when a thin and thin figure rushed out of the room behind Mrs. Yang.
