Chapter 1 Bloody Crossing
"I spent twenty taels of silver to buy a wife for my second brother. I didn't expect it to be so troublesome!"
"Isn't that right? Don't they say that when you marry a chicken, follow the chicken? When you marry a dog, follow the dog. My second brother is still a scholar. Why did he wrong her and think about running away?"
"No, just now I saw my mother bring dozens of copper coins to the doctor, saying she wanted medicine. I think this money will be used to pay for water stamps! It's..."
Su Xiaomu felt as if there was a fire burning all over his body, and his headache felt as if it was about to explode. There were also a group of people chattering around him.
Last night, she remembered that she was editing a video and fell asleep on the table without realizing it. She was the only one living at home, so how could there be any sound?
Could it be that he was hallucinating?
But then, a long and complicated memory came into my mind.
After digesting this memory, Su Xiaomu took a breath of cold air.
Has she traveled through time?
She actually time-traveled into the body of the child bride of a down-and-out scholar?
What kind of human suffering is this?
And this down-and-out scholar is famous throughout the country.
Because the Li family gave birth to three sons and one daughter, the youngest of them, Gu Jingcheng, could read hundreds of books at the age of three, and could easily read a thousand-character essay at the age of five. Now that he is only fifteen years old, the master threatened that he had a high school diploma.
talent.
But three years ago, Gu Jingcheng suffered from an emergency and could not be cured after long-term treatment. Li listened to the fortune teller's words, read the zodiac signs, and looked for people with similar horoscopes.
The original owner's father was a generous person. After hearing about this incident, he directly changed the original owner's horoscope and sold the original owner for two taels of silver.
After the original owner Su Xiaomu married in, Gu Jingcheng's illness miraculously healed.
After waking up, Gu Jingcheng was furious when he found out what happened to Su Xiaomu. How could he, a self-proclaimed scholar, believe in such a thing that had strange power and chaos, so he directly asked Li to send him back.
But the illness was strange, and the recovery was strange. Mrs. Li didn't dare to joke with Gu Jingcheng's life, so she kept him.
However, this family is really too poor, with only four walls and no walls, and they simply can’t get enough to eat wild vegetables and cornstarch every day.
He cut down on food and clothing, and all the money he saved was used for Gu Jingcheng's education.
In addition, buying her cost two taels, which made the family's situation worse. Food had already been reduced to a point where it could no longer be reduced.
And Gu Jingcheng didn't want to see her, so Su Xiaomu's status at home was also very embarrassing.
The original owner, Su Xiaomu, wanted to leave, so he ran away while there was no one at home when the farmers were busy in the afternoon.
The result was unexpected. He accidentally fell into the river and burped when he was fished out. The modern Su Xiaomu passed through.
"Boil these medicines and give them to her to drink! Send them back when she wakes up!"
Mrs. Li walked into the house, and the dim vision hit her face.
Because of half a lifetime of hard work, the wind and frost have stained my temples white, and my face looks particularly sharp and mean.
Mom seemed very angry. The sister-in-law Yin who was chattering at first exchanged looks with Chen and didn't dare to say anything.
Can Ms. Li not be angry?
When I bought Su Xiaomu, all the family money was used to buy him. I originally thought he would be a worry-free person. Although he was a little thinner, he had a good skin. Unexpectedly, he failed to escape and fell into the water. Now the Gu family has become a
It became a joke to the whole village!
Su Xiaomu was originally thinking about how to solve this dilemma. When he heard this, he pursed his lips and suddenly opened his eyes.
It is absolutely impossible to send him back. After all, the Gu family is a farming and studying family, so he still has a chance of survival here.
But if he is sent back and the original owner turns around and sells him, he will not be able to escape with his current weak body!
"Mom, don't sell me out, I'm not running away, cough cough cough..."
Su Xiaomu sat up with his body half propped up, his long hair scattered on the back of his head, and his palm-sized face was extremely pale, which made me feel pity for him.
Seeing that the person was awake, everyone in the room had different expressions.
The second sister-in-law, Ms. Chen, was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes angrily, "You've already been caught and lied! The Gu family has been completely disgraced by you!"
"No, I just want to see my husband. If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, marry a dog, follow the dog. I don't want to run away.
I want to bring some food to my husband, he hasn’t been back for a long time, I want to go and see..."
Su Xiaomu clutched the corners of the quilt, and the hands under the quilt pinched her thighs hard. Her eyes instantly turned red, and tears fell down.
"I didn't expect that I fell into the river, cough cough cough... Mom, if you don't believe it, you can go and take a look at my parcel. It contains a few pancakes that I brought for my husband. I usually don't bear to eat them when I eat.
, saved..."
Everyone who looks like this becomes a little soft-hearted.
Mrs. Li's eyes flashed, and she motioned Mrs. Yin to go over and take a look. Sure enough, she found only three dry pancakes.
"this……"
Mrs. Yin took the cake and looked at her mother-in-law Mrs. Li's face.
Mrs. Li's eyes flashed slightly. Although these two pancakes were not worth much money, they would only make such pancakes that lasted a long time and could withstand hunger when the farmers were busy.
She must have been saving these three cakes for a long time.
For a moment, Zhou's heart was filled with mixed feelings. She never thought that this was the reason why Su Xiaomu fell into the river.
Su Xiaomu sat on the bed and cried silently, pitifully.
The end of his eyes swept across Zhou's face, a little uneasy, not sure if he could be deceived.
Fortunately, the original owner was timid and didn't even bring any clothes, otherwise it would be really hard to tell.
After pondering for a long time, Ms. Li slowly spoke, "You'd better not lie. If you do something stupid again, I'll sell it to you right away. I won't show any mercy!"
Li's attitude was very harsh, but looking at Su Xiaomu's pity, she softened her tone a lot.
Su Xiaomu pursed her lips, knowing that Mrs. Li still didn't believe her, but she still spoke seriously and gratefully.
"Mom, since you bought me, then I will be born as a member of the Gu family and die as a ghost of the Gu family. I know that I have only been here for two months, and my mother still doesn't believe me.
But don’t worry, mom, I will definitely work hard and earn money to buy meat for mom and my husband to replenish their health!”
As soon as these words came out, Li's expression softened a lot again.
When Mrs. Yin saw this, she stood by to smooth things over.
"Haha, brothers and sisters, it turns out that this is the case, I never wanted to cause such a big misunderstanding.
You have a good rest. Third brother takes a month off on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Counting the days, he will be back in three days. You can rest assured and nurse yourself back to health. By then, when third brother comes back, you will be able to see enough. Let me tell you, Xiaomu will be back this year.
I’m fifteen now, so I can consummate the marriage..."
Mrs. Chen also covered her mouth and smiled, joking, "When the time comes, I will give birth to a big fat boy, which will make my mother happy too."
There was a smile on Zhou's rigid face, "Okay, let's go out and let Xiaomu have a good rest. After drinking the medicine, get up and eat."
"Well, mother, I understand..."
Su Xiaomu lowered his eyes, a blush appeared on his face, as if he was a little embarrassed.
Mrs. Zhou was very satisfied. Everyone went out and the house finally became quiet.
Su Xiaomu was lying on the bed, looking at the dilapidated house, feeling depressed.
Why did you travel through time?
Moreover, he is a king from the beginning. He is only fifteen or sixteen years old. He is a child himself, right?
But now, where else can she go besides the Gu family?
There was famine in many places these days, and she was penniless, and the deed of betrayal was still in someone's hands!
What are you running for? Where are you running?
If she runs back, her father may sell her again.
Forget it, let's make peace with it now. Let's quickly think about how to make money.
If nothing else worked, she could think of a way to eat, save some money to get back the deed of sale, and then leave this place and find a house with beautiful scenery to live in.
After all, money is the fundamental thing!
After leaving the house, Mrs. Li went directly to the main room. Her sister-in-law, Mrs. Yin, followed behind her and said quietly, "Mom, what Xiaomu said..."
She also didn't expect that Xiaomu didn't run away, but went to see Gu Jingcheng.
Li was still holding the pancake in her hand, so she naturally knew what she was going to say.
"This kid doesn't look like he's talking nonsense, but you should keep an eye on him lately and tell me if you have anything."
Mrs. Yin nodded, turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare for food. Farming has been busy recently, but she just wanted to eat this lunch.
Su Xiaomu, on the other hand, felt a bit bitter in his mouth after taking the medicine. He happened to hear dinner being served outside and hoped to eat something to suppress the bitter taste in his mouth.
As soon as it was served, I was stunned when I saw the food on the table.
