In the early morning, rays of sunlight shone brightly on a little girl. Soon, her skinny little hands, as thin as chicken claws, moved, and a pair of bright, large eyes on her sallow, skinny face slowly opened, filled with a vigilance and composure that didn't suit her age.
Her hair was dry and frizzy, sparse and tied in two ponytails on either side of her head. She was so thin she could easily fall over in the wind. The girl slowly sat up and surveyed her surroundings, realizing she was on a large mountain. Surrounded by pine and cypress trees, her first impression was of a drought, with everything she saw being dry and yellow.
Looking out into the distance, the overlapping mountains stretched out like a landscape painting. It was very quiet, with only the occasional chirp of an unknown bird. The fresh air was mingled with the fragrance of the earth. I took a few deep breaths and couldn't help but sigh at how good the air was.
She slowly stood up, a strong feeling of dizziness washed over her, accompanied by a burning pain in her stomach, an indescribable cramping pain that felt like it was about to explode. She immediately lay down again and closed her eyes. After about five or six minutes, her brain absorbed all the information from the original owner, and she slowly opened her eyes again. This time, the dizziness was gone.
From what she had just experienced, she realized she had traveled back in time to a small mountain village in the 1960s, into the body of a 12-year-old named Guan Shuishui. Because she was a girl, her grandparents disliked her, so she had never left home since she was a child. The farthest she had been was the mountains. She had a younger sister, and because she was a girl, she wasn't favored. All the boys born in those families were named according to the five elements: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. But when it came to her family, they just called her Shuishuixingxing casually. Old Guan hadn't even bothered to give her a proper name.
At Lao Guan's house, I have to work as soon as I open my eyes every day and I can't rest for a moment. Because my mother was adopted and gave birth to two girls but no son, I have to work non-stop every day, otherwise there will be no cousin to take care of my parents in their old age.
Thinking of this, the corners of the little girl's mouth rose slightly, and her bright big eyes blinked. Now that this aunt is here, let's see how these rubbish people from your Guan family can continue to bully the second branch!
She tried to get up slowly again, but her wobbly little body looked like it would be blown down by the wind at any moment.
The little girl looked up at the sky and estimated that it was about 6 or 7 o'clock in the morning. Then she walked around and observed for a long time. She found a corner of black clothes dozens of meters away from her. She walked over quickly and saw two people lying in front of her, a man and a woman. Judging from their faces, they were about 40 years old. According to her memory, they were the parents of this body.
The two men looked like they'd been doing farm work year-round. Their weathered faces were devoid of any radiance, their gray, gaunt faces revealing skinny bodies. Their knuckles were unusually swollen from years of hard work. They wore straw sandals that showed through their toes, their feet covered in scars. How could I describe it? It felt like walking skeletons. Shui Shui approached them and felt their veins. Only then did he feel relieved when he realized they had fainted.
According to the original owner's memory, it was the 1960s. The original owner's father was a simple and honest farmer. He was very good to his wife and two daughters, but he was too foolishly filial. No matter how the Guan family treated him, he accepted it and always advised the original owner's mother to be patient.
According to her analysis, this adopted father should not be the biological son of the Guan family, otherwise how could he treat his own child like this? She will definitely find out when she has the chance in the future.
