Chu Xiaoxiao was thrown into a book, reincarnating as a cannon fodder meant to be drowned shortly after birth. Outraged, she saved herself and vowed to change her family’s doomed fate.
...After he finished speaking, Li Jingsheng, his wife and daughter bowed to Wang Mingkui, then turned and left.
Nanny Honglian showed a vicious smile and took out a bamboo whistle and started blowing it.
As soon as the voice sounded, Li Yutong screamed: "Ah!"
Then he fell to the ground, his limbs curled up, and he kept rolling.
Mrs. Li was at a loss and exclaimed: "Yutong! What's wrong? Yutong! Yutong! What's wrong with you? Yutong!"
Li Jingsheng quickly walked to Madam Honglian, snatched the whistle from her hand, and threw it out the door.
"Honglian! Haven't you committed enough sins of murder? Why don't you just kill me? Let my daughter go."
"No, I won't kill you. I want to keep you here to watch your daughter being tortured by the Gu worm day and night. The heartless Gu has been awakened by me. It attacks at midnight every night, and it hurts like thousands of arrows piercing your heart. It ends automatically after an hour.
This cycle continued endlessly until she could no longer bear it and committed suicide. Li Jingsheng! This is my great gift to you."
"Poisonous woman!"
Madam Li went crazy. She took the knife from the constable nearby and slashed at Madam Honglian. Li Jingsheng hugged her.
"Madam! Calm down. We still have a daughter to take care of. We can't abandon her just because of Honglian, a bastard. Don't worry! Dongsheng is so big, I don't believe that no one can cure this heartless Gu."
“Hahaha! Hahaha!” Nanny Honglian laughed until she was out of breath, “Li Jingsheng! You are still too naive.
The Heartless Gu is the most secret Gu in our village. Not to mention your Dongsheng, even if the high priest of our Nanyun country came, he might not be able to cure it."
Li Jingsheng glanced at her indifferently and said indifferently: "There is always a way out. Nanyun's failure does not mean that we at Dongsheng cannot do it.
Don't worry about it, it has nothing to do with you. If I can't untie it, I will accompany my daughter in pain. As long as she is alive, we have hope. "
After hearing what her father said, Li Yutong looked at Aunt Honglian fiercely and said, "When you die, you deserve to go to a mass grave. I will personally supervise this matter."
Madam Li hugged her and said, "Okay! I will accompany you to throw this vicious woman into the mass grave to feed the wild dogs."
Nanny Honglian laughed loudly, and the devilish sound lingered in the air. Wang Mingkui was annoyed by it, so he ordered his men to knock the man unconscious and send him to jail.
As for Li Xu, he was taken away as well. Although he was not the principal offender, he was an accomplice and would not have a good ending.
Li Jingsheng and his wife left with their daughter Li Yutong.
In a blink of an eye, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th.
In March of next year, many candidates from other places will come to the capital to take part in the imperial examination.
Renting an inn in the west of the city, I saw many new faces from other places appearing on the streets.
The old lady of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion sent someone to be by Chu Lianlian's side, and as soon as they saw her helping a scholar from another place named Lu Qingsu, they would immediately report to her.
Lu Qingsu arrived in the capital at noon on August 15th, and all the cheap inns in the west of the city were full.
He thought that since he still had some money, he might as well try his luck in the south of the city and see if he could share a room with someone. It was a bit expensive, but at least the place he lived in was prosperous and clean.
I ate a bowl of noodles at a noodle stall and looked for several inns, but couldn't find anyone to share a room with. A room for one person costs one or two taels of silver per night, which is really unaffordable.
Then he continued to look around, but he was unfamiliar with the place and was strolling alone on the street, so he was noticed by the thief.
A few of them gestured, pretended not to look as they walked, and bumped into him.
Lu Qingsu was knocked to the ground, and the bag on his body rolled far away. Several thieves took the silver inside and kindly picked up the bag and handed it back to him.
"I'm sorry! I was so busy looking at the lantern that I didn't see you."
Lu Qingsu took the bag, said nothing, rubbed his sore butt, and limped forward.
This is the capital city, and he is a newly arrived scholar. Even if he knows that those people did it on purpose, he dare not do anything and can only suffer in silence.
Knowing that today is August 15th and the streets outside are very busy, Chu Xiaoxiao really wants to go out and play.
Riding a big white goose, he came to the old lady swaying and staggering.
"Gah! Gah! Gah!"
When the old lady heard the goose's cry, she knew it was Milk Balloon coming. She came out with a smile and took her down from the goose's back.
"Xiaoxiao! Come quickly! Grandma has delicious mooncakes here."
The little kid patted his round belly, smacked his lips a few times, raised the back of his hand, and quickly wiped the bubbles of snot that were about to flow out.
She cried out a series of "chui si si si" in a soft and tender voice, and the meaning was very clear: she had eaten the mooncakes and her little belly was full.
Looking at such a cute and clever little granddaughter, the old lady laughed happily.
"Hehehe! Grandma's is different. It's delicious. Do you want to try it?"
As long as Chu Xiaoxiao heard about delicious food, she had no resistance and nodded vigorously: "Angry, angry, angry."
The old lady led her into the house, followed by a large white goose and a willow cry.
Taking out a small piece of mooncake and handing it to her granddaughter, the old lady told her: "This is sent by your aunt."
The milk ball picked up the dough, took a bite, and narrowed his eyes.
[Hmm! Not bad, not bad, sweet but not greasy, and with a refreshing aroma. The cook in my aunt's house is quite creative. But I'm going to the street to see the lanterns at night, and by the way, let Sister Lianlian meet Lu Qingsu by chance. How should I tell my grandmother about this? ]
"quack!"
Dabai saw his master eating mooncakes and had not yet eaten today's share of grass. He barked twice in dissatisfaction, hoping that his master would remember.
After eating the grass, Dabai felt that his brain had become smarter.
It must be a strong goose, able to carry its master no matter how big he is. It doesn't want to be killed and eaten because it is too weak to be its master's mount.
That's too unfair. It's a goose that has eaten magical herbs and is unique and extremely smart.
“Bang!”
The chubby little hand slapped the big white goose on the head, making its newly smart brain dizzy and turning it into a stupid goose in an instant.
[What are you arguing about? There is no more spiritual herbs, and no more spiritual spring water. At the family dinner tonight, I want to give the family members spiritual spring water, so you don’t have to give me your share, but how can I get it? ]
The old lady looked at the confused boy in surprise, thinking that she had heard it wrongly. Spiritual herbs? Spiritual spring water?
Is this the legendary magical spring water that can cure all diseases?
During this period, her old injuries were aching slightly, and so was the old man. The two of them lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep. The snake wine was soaked, but it was not time to drink it.
If there really was some magical spring water, would drinking a cup of it make the pain in her body disappear? Would it also allow her and the old man to sleep soundly until dawn?
"Xiaoxiao! We will have a reunion dinner soon. When your aunt and uncle come back, we will all have a reunion dinner together. After dinner, you can go to the street to watch the lanterns with your brothers and sisters.
Be careful not to walk down by yourself. There are too many people and it is easy to get lost. There are people taking pictures on the street, and they like to take pictures of children as young as you. "
