Chapter 15 Awakening
Liang Xinxin had a long dream.
In the dream, there was a slim woman, wearing an apricot-colored embroidered satin cheongsam, small leather shoes of the same color, and a lake blue cashmere shawl. She was chatting and laughing with a man in an exotic manor.
She couldn't see the woman's facial features, but her voice was very special, like a lark, melodious and pleasant.
The man seemed to be very humorous and funny, making the woman laugh all the time, and in the end, she directly snuggled into the man's arms.
The affectionate posture was a couple in love at first glance.
Unfortunately, she couldn't see the man's facial features, but she was willing to think that the man must be very handsome.
At the end of the conversation, the man affectionately called the woman's nickname.
It seems to be Nan Nan?
But it could also be Nan Nan.
Some areas in the mainland, such as the Wu language area, like to call girls like this.
It is a very cherished and intimate nickname.
Liang Xinxin has never been called like this before, so she has a strong intuition that this should be her mother!
She wanted to get closer, but there was a huge ravine in front of her, and she couldn't see the bottom at a glance.
There were no bridges on both ends, so she could only try to go around from other places.
While walking, she looked back at the other side behind her, fearing that the two of them would disappear in the blink of an eye.
As a result, she missed a step and fell off the cliff.
She thought she was dead, so she could only open her eyes wide, wave her arms wildly, and grab whatever she could.
Although she was born passive and had no control over anything, she didn't want to accept her fate.
She tried her best and was rewarded - someone grabbed her hand.
She was saved!
She looked up excitedly, but there was nothing in her hand.
Strangely, she didn't continue to fall.
She stared at her outstretched right hand in surprise and asked curiously: "Who are you? You saved me, why don't you show up? Are you a fox spirit?"
A pretended deep chuckle came to her ear.
A thin but clean-haired orange cat appeared on the edge of the cliff.
It was this furry guy who grabbed her.
Liang Xinxin stared at the other person in a daze: "Who are you?"
"I am a pet raised by Fox. I am here to inform you that your grandpa will not be a human in his next life. He will become a cockatiel. In exchange, you will have a magical power." The orange cat pulled Liang Xinxin up.
Liang Xinxin stood up and patted the dust off her body.
Compared to some magical power, she was more concerned about where her grandpa went.
He quickly asked, "Has my grandpa been reincarnated?"
"That's right. The moment you got the superpower, he was reincarnated as a parrot. Now your superpower level is level one. If you want to upgrade, then find a way to find your grandpa. This is the simplest cause and effect search, and he is your relative." The orange cat reminded, "Don't forget the dream just now. There is not much I can do for you, I will do my best. Who made the fox spirit violate the rules of the office and spit out so much blood. I can't bear it, meow. Okay, wake up!"
The orange cat plucked his little whiskers, pulled out one with a howl, and waved it at Liang Xinxin's face.
Liang Xinxin woke up. He
subconsciously touched his mouth.
Hiss, I always feel that the orange cat was in pain.
Looking around, she found herself in an unfamiliar room.
The completely Chinese-style decoration and layout made her almost think she had returned to ancient times.
She slept on a rosewood canopy bed with intricate patterns carved on the headboard railings.
Some of them did not seem to be simple decorations. Looking at the direction of the claws and teeth, they seemed to be some kind of runes.
On the right side of the bed was a bedside table made of the same material. From the bedside table to the window, there were a desk, a bookshelf, a treasure cabinet, and a chair.
There was also a similar bedside table on the left side of the bed, and next to it was a row of wardrobes along the wall, parallel to the vertical direction of the bed, and as high as the ceiling.
There was no dressing mirror on the wardrobe.
At the end of the wardrobe was a closed door.
Wait!
Liang Xinxin moved her eyes back and finally noticed the orange cat squatting on the bedside table on the left.
It was the one she had seen in her dream!
She stared at the orange cat in surprise.
The orange cat tilted its head and looked innocent: "Meow?"
"Can't you speak human language?" Liang Xinxin poked the orange cat's whiskers, "Does it hurt?"
The orange cat dodged and meowed in protest, as if it was really just an ordinary cat.
Liang Xinxin didn't believe it, so she simply held it in her arms. When she looked at it, she found that the left side had one less whisker than the right side.
Liang Xinxin was sure that it was the cat in her dream, but she had to go find her grandfather now and didn't have time to talk to the orange cat.
She wanted to ask her grandfather what her mother's nickname was, and whether it was the girl in her dream.
She simply got out of bed and looked around, and found her old clothes on the seat by the window. They must have been washed clean, without any dirt or sand.
She shook the clothes, ran back to the bed, and kidnapped the cat who dared to do what he did but did not take responsibility.
The clothes were wrapped around the kitten so tightly that they just wrapped it twice. When it struggled to stick its head out, Liang Xinxin had already tied the sleeves of the clothes around its waist.
Orange cat: ...
"Okay, you are so cruel!"
Liang Xinxin succeeded, but she refused to let it go: "You are pretending to be cute."
"Nonsense, I am cute!" The orange cat protested!
Liang Xinxin did not argue with it: "I will go to my grandpa, do you know where to sell birds?"
"You are stupid! Even if he has been reincarnated, it is at most just a bird's egg!" The orange cat rolled his eyes.
Liang Xinxin suddenly realized: "Then where should I find it?"
"I don't know either. Go to the Liang family first and find some of your grandpa's relics. Your ability is only level one, and you must have something he used and touched when he was alive in your hand to see through his afterlife." The orange cat patiently explained.
There was no way, who asked its host to open this blind box.
It has the responsibility and obligation to guide this mainland girl to adapt to life here as soon as possible.
Liang Xinxin understood, but she couldn't go back empty-handed, she had to buy something for the memorial.
So she went to the desk next to her and picked up the handbag she had used before.
When she opened it, the 10,000 Hong Kong dollars inside were still there. Well, it was given to her by the fox spirit.
Anyway, it should be enough.
She pushed the door open and went out.
As soon as she reached the corridor, she saw a man in a police uniform coming up the stairs.
She nodded politely: "Hello."
Chu Xiangfeng went to bed early yesterday and got up late today. He was almost late for work and didn't know there was someone at home.
He couldn't help but press the birthmark, with an impatient look on his face: "You are here!"
"..." Liang Xinxin didn't understand and didn't know where this was.
But it was not difficult to guess, she only knew a few people here, she should be at her beautiful sister-in-law's house.
In this case, there is no need to worry about anything.
She smiled as a response and passed by Chu Xiangfeng.
Chu Xiangfeng stretched out his hand to stop her.
Fortunately, Chu Lingyue came out and quickly called out in Cantonese: "Brother Afeng! This is Brother Azheng's girlfriend!"
"Oh?" Chu Xiangfeng couldn't help but sneer, "You're pretty quick!"
Chu Lingyue hurried over to stop him: "Xinxin, are you going out?"
"I'm going back to the Liang family." Liang Xinxin didn't know that she was almost assassinated, nor did she know that Zhuo Ying was accidentally injured. She didn't even know that Chu Lingyue said she was Chu Weizheng's girlfriend.
She just felt that this Chu Xiangfeng was a bit annoying.
Chu Lingyue quickly pulled her to the bedroom and reminded her how dangerous it was outside.
Life is important, Liang Xinxin is safest staying in the Chu family now.
But she needs Grandpa's relics.
What a headache.
I can only think of a solution slowly.
Chu Lingyue went out and lay on the stairs, asking the kitchen downstairs to send up the food.
Then she pulled Chu Xiangfeng and went to his room.
After closing the door, she warned him sternly: "Brother Afeng, don't play a prank! Xinxin is very pitiful! She has no parents. Uncle Liang just took her back to the Liang family, and Uncle Liang and Grandpa Liang died one after another! She is alone now, and only we can protect her! Besides, she is Brother Zheng's girlfriend. A brother's wife should not be bullied. I forbid you to hurt her!"
Chu Xiangfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the people outside really thought that Liang Guoxing was dead.
Wait! This beautiful woman is actually from the Liang family?
He hurriedly asked what was going on.
Chu Lingyue told everything she knew.
Chu Xiangfeng curled his lips: "What's so hard about this? Her father must have changed his mind and found another woman and a new family. As for her mother, maybe she was killed by her second uncle's family. It wouldn't be a big deal to send a killer to the mainland more than ten years ago."
Chu Lingyue also had such a guess, but unfortunately she had no evidence.
In any case, Xinxin is her future sister-in-law, and it was her mother who took the initiative to bring her back. She will protect Xinxin as a distinguished guest.
She warned again: "You know what kind of temper A Zheng has, don't provoke him."
Chu Xiangfeng couldn't help but sneer and touched his neck subconsciously.
Being deceived and being knocked dizzy. It's vivid
in my mind.
His brother is so vicious.
He can't just let it go.
But he knows very well that Yue favors A Zheng.
He didn't want Ah Yue to see anything, so he said impatiently, "Shut up! I'm not that shameless!"
Really? Ah Yue didn't believe him.
She turned around and went out, knocking on Liang Xinxin's door.
Liang Xinxin opened the door herself: "Sister Yue, I have an idea!"
Chu Lingyue closed the door and asked curiously: "What is the idea?"
Liang Xinxin pointed to the orange cat squatting at the second-floor window: "It helps me run errands."
Chu Lingyue thought she was daydreaming, but she couldn't bear to discourage her, so she smiled and said: "Okay, I'll wait for your good news. By the way, Xinxin, I have something important to tell you--"
Liang Xinxin pulled Chu Lingyue to sit down: "You go ahead."
"You just met my brother Afeng, my brother Azheng looks exactly like him. Since you are my brother Azheng's girlfriend, you must learn to distinguish between the two of them." Chu Lingyue had no better way for the time being, and could only describe it in terms of temperament.
Liang Xinxin blushed, what girlfriend? This is a big misunderstanding.
But before she could explain, Chu Lingyue started talking about herself: "My brother Zheng is arrogant and cold in nature, but he is different to his family. Especially when facing my parents, he is very gentle. My brother Feng, on the other hand, is a dog instead of a tiger. He is arrogant to everyone, including my parents. As long as you observe carefully, you will not make a mistake."
Liang Xinxin blushed and smiled: "Don't worry, your brother Zheng and I have a secret code. Even if I can't recognize him at first, we can still use the secret code."
"That's good! Xinxin, you are so smart! No wonder my brother Zheng likes you. You don't know that he is so arrogant outside and looks down on everyone. I didn't expect that he would be successful! I am so happy!" Chu Lingyue was very excited and hugged Liang Xinxin's neck directly.
Seeing Chu Lingyue's enthusiasm, the orange cat in the window felt relieved and jumped down to Liang's house to look for relics.
By the way, he took back the photo that Liang Xinxin hid under the pillow.
This was what she specifically told him.
That was the only photo of her parents.
*
In the resettlement center, Chu Weizheng did not meet Chu Xiangfeng.
Liang Guoxing explained: "He said he was dizzy, it should be the sequelae of you beating him before."
Chu Weizheng didn't respond, and asked: "Does the death of the Shao family's youngest son have anything to do with your second brother's family?"
Liang Guoxing looked at him in a daze, obviously a little surprised.
