Chapter 158 Previous Life

"Sing Ge..."

The courtyard was deep, and a furry little head poked out from behind the flowers. He looked at the direction from which the sound came, and then tiptoed behind the fish tank in the rockery.

"Li Ge...Lu Lige, where have you been? Look, my second brother brought you sugar-coated haws and a windmill after school today."

As the sound got closer and closer, the young man's thin figure appeared at the end of the road.

Lu Henan held a candied haws in one hand and a windmill in the other, walking in the shade of flowers and trees, calling his little sister's name in a low voice.

Lu Xiangge is naughty and likes to hide and seek in the yard for his brothers to find.

She is still young and the places she likes to hide are just those few places.

Behind the rocks in the rockery, behind the fish tank with red carp, or under the table in dad's study.

The rockery in Lujiazhuang is not high, with no pavilion for resting on top and no curved cave below.

It's just a few strange-shaped stones piled together. These stones were dug by Lu Yuanshan from Dayun Mountain.

In Lu Yuanshan's words, it's all just rocks, so it doesn't cost any money.

There is a pomegranate tree in the gap under the rockery. It is quite old and its trunk is much thicker than Lu Shege's little chubby legs.

Under the pomegranate tree, it was built flat with black bricks, and there was a wide-mouthed fish tank with a few lotus leaves in it, and two fat red carps swimming in the tank.

These two red carps were personally caught by Lu Sheige's great-grandfather and Lu Yuanshan's grandfather from Honghu Lake.

When he arrived, he was only as long as a child's hand.

After raising her for so many years, her waist is a little scary.

Their children and grandchildren were raised by the Lu family in the lotus pond in the courtyard.

Children beget grandchildren, and grandchildren beget children. There are countless red carp in the lotus pond of the Lu family. Grandpa, who feeds the fish every day, has to carry wheat bran, bean dregs and other things on a burden to feed them.

Where did these red carp go after that?

Lu Xiangge racked his brains to think about it, but he couldn't remember it.

Perhaps, in that fire, red carp turned into grilled fish.

Or, because they were in the water and were not affected by the fire, they were captured later and either given away, killed, or kept in a pond somewhere.

"Xiaosi, Xiaosi, wake up."

She stared blankly, as if someone was tapping her shoulder hard.

Lu Sheige struggled to push away the person who slapped her. He slapped her with such force that her shoulder was almost dislocated.

She struggled several times but couldn't move. The person she was slapping seemed to be pulled away.

Lu Sheige felt relieved that his shoulder didn't hurt anymore, but he fell into a nightmare again.

This time, it was still the night when the fire was raging.

When the young man with dark horse feathers bent his bow, his lips were slightly pursed, with a coldness that would repel people thousands of miles away.

Is it him?

It must be him, right?

It was because he shot an arrow through the heart and killed Xiao Shengge that his memorial tablet appeared in the Lu family's ancestral hall, and was stolen by Lu Quan and brought back to Xiaoxinzhuang.

My parents hid Xiao Shege's memorial tablet in the stove. They must have wanted to throw it into the stove and burn it while the fire was lighting up.

But she didn't want to.

This black spiritual tablet is the only place in this world that people can remember about Xiao Xiangge.

If she allowed Lu Quan and his wife to burn Xiao Shege's spiritual tablet, then no one in this world would be able to remember her.

Anyone who knows that she is still alive will not miss Xiao Shege.

Thinking that Xiao Xiangge was dead, he wanted to use her early death to imprison her in the Lu family's ancestral hall with a small spiritual tablet.

She would not let anyone destroy Xiao Shege's spiritual tablet. She wanted to hide it, pay homage to her, and remember her.

The fire burned more and more fiercely, and Lu Shege seemed to be lifted above his head and thrown into a black vortex in the middle of the void.

Countless fragments of the starry sky were shining in front of her eyes. She was staggering in the black night, not knowing where she was ahead or where she should go.

"Xie Ge, let's go, don't look back."

It was her father's voice. He was shouting at her to let her go and not to look back. But she wanted to look back. She wanted to see her father, her mother, and her brother. Every time, when she stopped, there was always something magical.

The strength pushed her staggering forward.

She didn't know how long she had been walking, but her vision became increasingly blurry.

Lu Sheige closed his eyes and thought, I'll sleep for a while, just for a little while.

Dad, She Ge is tired, so he will sleep for a while and leave when he wakes up.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw a large yard made of red bricks. The brick wall only reached her chest, and it was covered with straight iron rods.

Through the fence made of iron bars, she saw a dozen children wearing strange clothes playing in the yard.

A few boys were running after a round ball, and a few girls were playing hopscotch on the other side.

Lu Sheige had never kicked a round ball like that, but she had seen the girls in the clan playing hopscotch on the threshing floor.

She stood staring outside the courtyard wall blankly, wanting to go in and play with them, but she was afraid that these children would be like the children of the clan and would scatter like birds and beasts when she came.

Soon, a gentle woman wearing a short dress and a long skirt came out.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Lu Shege."

"Where are you from?"

"No...don't know."

"I don't know!"

The woman who spoke smiled lovingly, touched her silky hair, and said warmly, "My surname is Lu, too. You can call me Mother Lu. This is an orphanage, and the children here either have no parents or are orphaned by their parents."

Abandoned child. If you have nowhere to go, just stay here, okay?"

"No, I have parents and brothers."

Lu Sheige's almond-shaped eyes widened, and he was thinking desperately, but he couldn't remember where his parents and brothers had gone.

"Do you have parents or brothers?"

A strange expression appeared on Mother Lu's face as she looked at Lu Shege in front of her.

Lu Xiangge's perspective turned and he saw himself standing in front of Mother Lu that day, wearing a lotus-colored dress, with a wide skirt embroidered with complicated patterns. The spring breeze carried the fragrance of flowers and softly skirted the corner of the girl's skirt, and the hem of the skirt was slightly

Yang, but the forbidden steps around his waist didn't move at all.

Looking up and taking a closer look, the girl's black hair is as dark as ink, and she is only held up by two lotus pink ties. The remaining hair hangs straight down to her waist. There is no makeup on her small face, and her white skin looks like it has just been peeled.

Eggs, a few naughty hairs

The ground fell on her white and tender cheeks, making people feel love and pity. A pair of almond eyes seemed to fill the entire starry sky, shining brightly. She smiled toothily at the person in front of her, with dimples looming on her cheeks, as cute as a fairy.

Looking at the way he was dressed at that time, Lu Xiangge couldn't tell for a moment whether he saw the appearance of Xiao Xiangge, or whether she was originally Xiao Xiangge who was sent to a thousand years in the future after a disaster at home.

Mother Lu's voice was as warm as her memory: "Then would you like to live in the courtyard, and wait until your parents and brothers come to find you, and then you can go back with them?"

"I do."

Lu Xiangge looked at the little girl and nodded, taking the initiative to hold Lu's mother's hand, "Just keep me for a day or two. My father, my mother, and my two brothers will come here soon."

Later, she lived in an orphanage, went to school with those abandoned children without fathers and mothers, and grew up.

Until she comes back here again.
