The first rays of sunlight in the early morning shine on the barren and dry earth.
In the dark room, a thin figure was trying to stand up, raising his dry hands to cover the thin man sleeping beside him with a tattered quilt.
She tiptoed out the door and headed towards the kitchen.
Looking at the few grains of rice in the rice jar, Xiaoguo was in a dilemma. The family had already spent the remaining money on the funeral of her mother-in-law, and now they were really stretched to the limit.
Divide the rice into three portions and put one portion in the pot. Although it is a small amount, it can make up a meal.
Sitting on the bench, Xiao Guo lit a fire and looked at the blazing flames, but his heart was still sad.
He glanced at the only brick of a different color next to the stove, hesitated, and finally withdrew his hand.
That was the last ounce of silver in the family. She couldn't touch it. It was for Zhuangzhuang. She didn't know how long she could hold on. If she could survive the disaster, that would be great. If not...
Xiaoguo wiped her tears, what should she do with her strength...
Xiaoguo suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head and leaned on the stove to avoid falling.
It has been like this lately, and coupled with the nightmares she has been having lately, her head is feeling even more uncomfortable.
In the dream, she and her parents lived in a strange place, which was completely different from here. The clothes were different, there were tall buildings, it was bright at night, the women had colorful hair, the men all had short hair, and there were four-wheeled cars...
All kinds of bizarre worlds dazzled her.
There are her parents and her in it, but her brother is not there.
The family of three lived a very happy life and she grew up smoothly.
But the accident happened too quickly. Suddenly, after a weird rainstorm, some strange people appeared on the street and bit anyone they saw. Soon the whole street was covered with blood. Miserable screams could be heard one after another, making people's scalps numb.
Some of those strange people were missing half of their heads, some had no arms or legs, and some had their intestines exposed. In short, they were very weird. People who were bitten by them would soon become like them, as if they had gone mad. Later we learned that they were called zombies.
Fortunately, she was rescued by a person in green clothes and brought to a place where everyone was wearing green clothes.
However, her parents were bitten to death by zombies. In her dreams, she lived a mechanical life like the zombies every day. She had no desire to live and even looked forward to death every day.
Thinking of this, Xiaoguo smiled. What is the difference between herself in the dream and herself now? Both of them are living a life worse than death. However, she is better than in the dream. At least she is strong, and she will live for her strength.
"Mother~"
After Zhuangzhuang got up, he went to find his mother. He knew that his mother would definitely be cooking in the kitchen at this time.
Xiaoguo collected his thoughts, smiled and turned to look at the little man, "Zhuangzhuang is awake~"
…
The days did not get better, and the nightmares came as expected every night. She knew exactly what Xiaoguo in that world had done. As time went on, she even had the illusion that it was not a dream.
In order to verify this conjecture, Xiao Guo found the village prophet, who was already lying on the bed, calmly waiting for death.
Seeing Xiaoguo coming, she was not surprised, but directly told her the purpose of her visit.
Xiaoguo was walking on the way home, thinking about the last words the prophet said to her: this life and the next life are all predetermined...
This life? The next life?
Since she had this idea, she is no longer afraid of dreaming, and even looks forward to dreaming every day.
The food I cook in my dream is delicious, I am very capable, I know a lot, and I can do many things that I cannot do myself.
Watching herself in the dream losing her life day by day, she really wanted to tell her to live and encourage her to live!
The disaster situation gradually improved. God was very helpful and it rained heavily for more than ten days. The rivers gradually filled with water, grass grew on the land, and the trees began to sprout.
Just when she thought she could survive the disaster, she had no time to be happy as she suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground. She closed her eyes and saw Zhuangzhuang crying helplessly.
She had only one thought, please... please... Xiaoguo from another world please come and save our son!!!
Unable to bear the endless crying in her ears, Xiao Guo opened her tired eyes and slowly looked at the child hugging her. The moment she saw clearly, she was sobered up in a flash. Where did this little black monkey come from? ! !
The little boy seemed to be wronged, pouted his lips, and cried to her, "Mom~"
…
–
Xiaoguo opened her eyes again, a little confused about what year it was. She looked at the room that seemed familiar yet unfamiliar and blinked. This room was quite modern. Had Erpang renovated the room for her again?
"I'm not dead?"
As soon as the voice came out, she was so scared that she immediately covered her mouth. Who...who is talking? !
She was the only one in the room, so the sound was most likely made by her???
"Ah~ah~hey~haha~"
After trying it, I found out it was indeed her. I was so shocked that I almost screamed.
"Guoguo~Guoguo~Get up and have breakfast. I'm going to the university to report later. It's already past eight o'clock. Didn't you say you'd go early? If you delay any longer, it will be evening."
Xiaoguo covered her mouth and looked at the closed door in shock. She would never forget this sound!
"Mom!"
"Hey, what's wrong?"
Mother Qin had just left and came back, listening to the noise inside with a strange look on her face. What happened today?
"It's okay..." Xiao Guo wiped her tears and said calmly, "I'll get up right away."
"Hurry up~"
After Qin's mother finished speaking, she went to the kitchen.
Xiaoguo pinched herself and it hurt. She pinched herself again and it still hurt...
Dreamspace? ?
Mom was outside the door just now, so this room was clear. This was her bedroom. There were posters of her favorite idols on the wall. The date displayed on her phone was... the day she started college...
Looking at herself in the mirror, she had a fair face, collagen-filled skin, a curvy youthful figure, strong limbs, 2.0 vision in both eyes, complete and healthy teeth, and a straight back. She looked exactly like an 18-year-old, but she clearly remembered that she had just celebrated her 70th birthday...
Was she reborn? Or did she return to modern society with her memories?
In that life, she died without any illness or disaster, and she lay peacefully in Jiang Shanhe's arms and breathed her last.
Thinking of this, Xiaoguo felt a little upset. After pounding his chest hard a few times, he finally felt better.
At this time, her mother's urging voice came from the door again. Xiaoguo responded hurriedly without thinking about anything else. She washed her face and brushed her teeth swiftly. Her mother's nagging skills were much more profound than hers. If she dared to delay until she urged for the third time, it would not be just verbal urging, she might even use force to catch up.
She didn't dare to go out at this moment, for fear that the two of them would notice something wrong. You know, her parents treated her like a robot scanner, and even a hair that was out of place could not escape their eyesight.
Although it is a bit far away from modern civilization, she still knows how to use these advanced products.
She washed her face and took care of her skin, got dressed and took her bag. She left part of the suitcase outside, which should have been taken to the trunk by her father.
After leaving the bedroom, Xiao Guo greedily looked at every decoration and every floor tile in the house, quickly walked to the kitchen, and looking at that familiar and gentle figure, he couldn't help himself anymore and hugged it.
Mother Qin cried out, and after seeing who it was, she changed her hand to hold the spoon and slapped her on the butt in an unpleasant tone, "Why are you still being lazy at the beginning of school!"
It was obviously a punishment for her being too lazy in bed.
Xiaoguo's face turned slightly red, and she took a step back uncomfortably, but she did not loosen her hand.
To be honest, she was a 70-year-old woman a second ago, and being slapped on the butt was weird. She was used to slapping her sons' butts, so she was a little shy when her mother slapped her like this.
At this time, Qin's father came in from outside and smiled dotingly, "You are so old, but you still act like a spoiled child to your mother. It's a joke for others to see."
Xiao Guo didn't look back, her eyes instantly turned red, she didn't dare to look back...
