Chapter 2 2. Crossing
When Xin Changning woke up, it was already a day later, and this Changning was no longer that Changning.

Feeling the soreness and stiffness of her body, and straightening her buzzing head, it took her a while to understand what had happened to her.

She is a well-known jewelry designer who founded her own studio and was invited to take her most proud works to a certain country for exhibition, but she was robbed in the hotel.

Not only were all the jewels worth hundreds of thousands taken away, but she was also brutally shot to death by gangsters.

"Am I already dead?"

Thinking of the bloody scene before coma, Xin Changning couldn't help but shudder.

She can clearly remember the severe pain of the bullet entering her body, the despair that could not be covered by the hot blood gushing out, the panic in the surrounding environment, and how quickly she fell into the boundless darkness...

But what's going on now?

Xin Changning tried his best to open his eyes, only to find that his face was covered with a white cloth and he couldn't see anything.

"Could it be that I'm in the hospital now? I was saved?"

Thinking of this, she immediately felt a huge surprise, and was about to call the nurse when she suddenly heard a burst of crying from around her.

A woman cried out hoarsely: "Mother, mother, you can't do this, Changning can't be rationed to Yan's family! Yan's fourth son died violently, and he had a lot of resentment. Besides, he was 25 when he died, and Changning was only [-]!" "

"What can't be done!" A shrill old woman's voice sounded afterwards; "Yan Laosi was killed, and Ning girl committed suicide. Neither of them died a good death. They are a good match. Age is not a problem."

"But mother, I heard that the fourth son of Yan is lame and ugly, and he is really not a good match for Changning! Besides, my husband loved Changning the most when he was alive. If he knew that his daughter was matched with such a yin relative, I am afraid it will be in the nine springs. It's not safe to live."

The woman continued to cry and stop.

"Ah bah, don't mention that rebellious and unfilial thing to me. Back then, because of Changning's bitch mother, he was so mad at his father. Now he must have gone to hell and is being tortured by the king of Hades!"

The old woman's voice was full of anger, obviously she didn't take the woman seriously, she yelled: "I'm doing this for the sake of Ning girl, she died young as an unmarried girl, according to the usual practice, she can only be buried in a mass burial. Gang. Now that I go to the Yan family, at least I can enter their ancestral graves, and some people will burn incense and worship in the future."

"But it's not a good match, mother, it's really not a good match!" The woman still cried out relentlessly.

"I don't know what's good or bad! You're dead, so what's the point of matching? If it wasn't for the sake of leaving behind for the Xin family, you would have been beaten out with a big stick. Ning girl was not born by you, so it's not your turn to be here. Heck, the second and fourth family members, hurry up and drag this bitch who killed Xiaowu away."

The old woman seemed to have become angry from embarrassment, and the surrounding area suddenly became noisier after she spoke.

Listening to the chaotic footsteps, Xin Changning clearly felt that someone was approaching him.

what happened?When did I turn 12?

She was confused when she heard it, and when she was extremely surprised, someone swiped off the white cloth on her face and said loudly: "Sister-in-law of the Yan family, this is my granddaughter Changning. It's not my boast, you can't find it in ten miles and eight villages." To such a beautiful..."

A few strange old women's faces suddenly appeared in front of Xin Changning's eyes. At first glance, they looked like people who had worked hard for many years; all of them had dry, black and yellow skin, wrinkled and spots, rough like old tree bark.

They were all wearing rough cloth shirts with cross-collared right lapels, some blue and some black, the colors were all dull and gray, and some of them were patched.Her hair was all tied up in a bun and piled behind her head, some with silver hairpins, some with wooden hairpins...

Well, ancient costumes are still the kind worn by poor people in TV dramas!
What kind of dress is this, is it difficult for me to wear it?
Xin Changning stared blankly at the other party, and subconsciously blinked vigorously.

"Ah! It's a scam!"

Looking at each other, the old women froze for a moment, then let out a scream, crying and scrambling back.

There was a timid man who fainted on the ground with a thud, and others rushed to help him, and the surroundings suddenly became a mess.

"Changning, Changning, my daughter!"

In the chaos, a middle-aged woman rushed over recklessly, reached out and touched Xin Changning's face tremblingly.

The woman looked to be in her forties, and her clothes were torn, almost patch upon patch.

The woman's hair was yellow and disheveled, her face was thin and skinny, her cheekbones were high, her complexion was sallow and dry, her lips were chapped and white, and she was obviously malnourished.

Her two eye sockets were deeply sunken, and her dark circles were severe. Her eyes were red and swollen, filled with tears, and even bloodshot. It was obvious that she hadn't rested for a long time.

The woman looked at Xin Changning with tears streaming down her face, almost overflowing with concern.It's just that the palms of her hands are full of calluses, as rough as bricks, and Xin Changning's face hurts when touched.

Xin Changning was about to escape, when he suddenly heard the other party's throat crackling, trembling and uttering a sentence: "Changning, my daughter..."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly hugged her in his arms, and Xin Changning, who hugged her tightly, was almost out of breath, only to hear the woman wail loudly: "My daughter, God has eyes, God has eyes...

Xin Changning was frightened by the maniacal expression of the other party, just wanted to ask who are you?Suddenly there was a dizziness in his head, and countless memories that did not belong to him flocked to flash.

It turned out that she had really time-traveled. Although this body is also called Xin Changning, it is a 12-year-old girl from Dayu Chaojiao Mountain Village.

Dayu Dynasty?I haven't heard of it, it seems to be a different time and space.

The girl's mother died and her father died, and she was rejected by her family since she was a child. Now she lives with her stepmother Liu, and her life is very difficult.

Mrs. Liu is the middle-aged woman who is holding her and crying.

Wear it, wear it!
Xin Changning looked around in a panic. In addition to Liu's and his own tattered clothes, he also saw pure natural soil, cracked and peeling mud walls, uneven bamboo fences, and broken wooden tables with missing corners and legs. The stool, the crumbling rotten wooden door... and the half-broken straw mat lying under him...

All in all, this home embodies one word everywhere, poor!

This is really hard work for decades, and once returned to the old society.

Raising his hand to look at his skinny wrist, Xin Changning didn't feel the joy of rebirth after the catastrophe, he just wanted to vomit blood.

"Changning is alive, my Changning..." Liu hugged Xin Changning, crying and laughing happily.

"What, it's alive, isn't it a fake corpse?" Hearing this, half of the people in the yard changed their faces instantly.

A strange old lady wearing a blue cloth shirt, with a black and yellow face, a horse face with a bulbous nose, small eyes protruding from her mouth, and a very ugly face screamed immediately: "Old lady Xin, didn't you say that your granddaughter is dead? We strictly The betrothal gifts have been paid, and we agreed to carry the corpse today, what should we do now?"

"Yeah yeah."

Another peasant woman in her 30s, with a dark complexion, very similar to Mrs. Yan, and the same ugly monkey cheeks, also stepped forward and shouted: "My mother is right, everything is ready at my house, my brother's coffin They all went home from the fields, and they are waiting for the ceremony. Now that they are alive, they can’t form a yin relationship, so hurry up and cancel the dowry gift and pay for it!”
