Chapter 1 Traveling Through Time
late at night.
The cold wind is howling.
There was a charcoal fire burning in the house.
It was snowing heavily outside.
It's chilling.
The midwife shouted, "It's born..."
The pale woman on the bed raised her eyelids, took a look, and then fainted.
Jiang Miaomiao felt like she was being lifted up and slapped on the buttocks twice...
I subconsciously opened my mouth and burst into tears, "Wuwaa ...
Then he fell into a warm embrace.
I tried hard to open my eyes and vaguely saw a fat, round face.
The round-faced woman whispered to the person beside her, "Madam, that person fainted after taking one look at the child."
The old woman who came over glanced at the baby with disgust and said, "Don't worry about her. Hurry up and take this bastard out and throw it far away. Don't let anyone find it."
Jiang Miaomiao: “….”
Bastard? Thrown away?
The baby was startled and stopped crying.
The curtain was opened and a cold wind blew in.
Along with the cold wind came the loud cry of a baby.
Passing by her...
Jiang Miaomiao only realized at this moment that she had traveled through time.
The fetus was transformed into a newborn baby.
I can't believe that someone wants to throw this body's mother away while she's still unconscious...
Could it be that he would die within two hours of reincarnation?
Mother, wake up... Mother...
Jiang Miaomiao kicked her short legs hard, trying to wake her mother up.
Mother... there are bad guys... there are bad guys trying to switch your child! Wake up!
All the words I wanted to say turned into weak cries when I opened my mouth.
“Wow wow wow…”
She cried heart-wrenchingly, but her mother still didn't respond.
Is it possible that we can only leave it to fate?
Suddenly, a big fat hand covered her mouth and nose.
Woo…I can’t breathe!
This is.......
This is going to suffocate her to death!
Jiang Miaomiao had to stop crying and looked at the fat-faced woman with tears in her eyes.
"Oh! You're quite smart, little girl. If you cry again...if you cry again, I'll strangle you to death." The fat-faced woman glared at her fiercely and gradually let go of her hands that were covering her eyes.
He threw her into the basket, opened the door quickly and walked out of the house.
Jiang Miaomiao shuddered.
A piece of cloth was covered up, and everything in front of me suddenly became dark.
She didn't dare to speak again.
Afraid of being strangled to death.
If there was any poop or pee, it would have been held back by now...
As it grew quieter outside, with only the sound of a woman's footsteps, a deep feeling of powerlessness came over me.
The basket rocked and swayed, making her drowsy and she fell into a drowsy sleep.
I don’t know how long it took, but I woke up from hunger!
The basket's shaking became weaker, the footsteps died down, but the scene before him was still pitch black.
There was a whirring sound in my ears.
Like the sound of the wind...
Suddenly a white light shone in.
The cloth on the basket was blown open, revealing a delicate little doll.
“Ah~~!”
Jiang Miaomiao felt the biting cold wind blowing towards her, and the hairs on her body stood up instantly.
When I opened my eyes again, all I saw was green with white snow hanging on the green.
ah!
That fat woman...actually hung her on the tree!
She is afraid of heights!
I subconsciously burst into tears, and the urine that I had been holding for a long time came out in shock.
I cried and cried until my voice became hoarse...
It's snowing.
Snowflakes fell on the swaddling clothes, on the baby's tender pink skin, and on her cherry-like little mouth.
The baby subconsciously opens his mouth to suck.
Ugh! It's cold...it freezes my tongue!
Gradually, her face and hands became numb.
My consciousness started to blur...
She thought of several ways to die: freezing to death, falling to death, or being suffocated by the snow...
......
"Mom, look, what's that on top?" The young man in brocade clothes lifted the curtain and pointed to the woods beside the road.
Lu Qingyao looked ahead with empty eyes, tears still hanging on her cheeks, and the baby in her arms had long lost his warmth.
She came to her senses when she heard her son calling out.
I looked out the car window in the direction my son pointed.
In the wind and snow.
A basket hung precariously on a tree.
A wry smile played at the corner of her mouth.
There were actually people who had the same idea as her and buried their deceased children under trees.
Then let’s bury her here, it will be a companion for our daughter.
"Uncle Liu, stop the car."
Lu Qingyao got off the carriage, held the baby and went to the woods, and her two sons followed behind carrying a small wooden box.
"Mom, why did you leave my sister here?" Jiang Zifeng looked at her mother with tears in her eyes.
"Your sister... is gone!" Although Lu Qingyao was unwilling to accept it, her daughter had already passed away.
She cried for two days, shedding all the tears in her life.
The person is gone, but the living are still here. She still has two sons, and her parents, brother and sister-in-law who are exiled to the barbarian land.
She has to live well.
I put my daughter into a small wooden box, and also put her favorite rattle and doll in it, and then put it on a tree branch and tied it with a rope to secure it to the tree.
"Mom, the teacher said that people should be buried in peace after death, so that the deceased can rest in peace..." Jiang Ziyan was puzzled.
Lu Qingyao bit her lip and said, "It's dark and there are bugs underground. My sister will be scared."
Her son was taught Confucianism, but she did not want to be bound by worldly principles and only wanted to do what she believed in.
"Things in this world cannot be generalized. Burial in the ground is the burial custom of the Han people, but it is not the same everywhere. In this world, there are tree burials, sky burials, and pagoda burials, all of which are filled with the most sincere blessings of their loved ones..."
Her father was a general guarding the border, and she grew up with her parents at the border since she was a child.
I heard from the elders there that babies who died young are clean and pure, and tree burial can allow them to enter reincarnation as soon as possible. In the next life, they can thrive like trees and protect the children in the family.
If that is true.
She also wanted her daughter to stop being attached to the human world, to reincarnate as soon as possible, and to be born into a good family.
After burning the paper money, the mother and her two children stood in the cold wind, looking at the wooden box on the tree in silence...
"Mom, I seem to hear my sister crying."
It's not my sister, it's the baby crying...
Jiang Ziyan nervously grabbed his mother's hand.
"It seems like... it came from over there..." Jiang Ziyan pointed to the basket hanging on a tree not far away.
I saw a scarlet sparrow squatting on the basket.
Against the backdrop of white snow...it's very dazzling.
Lu Qingyao suddenly felt her scalp tingling.
How could there be sparrows in such a cold day?
Still red...
Although she didn't believe in those supernatural things, this voice really made her spine cold.
There was also the cry of a baby as weak as a kitten.
"Mom, I'm scared!" Jiang Ziyan shrank behind his mother.
"Mom, I heard it too."
Before Lu Qingyao could reach out to stop him, Jiang Zifeng ran over quickly.
Swirl under the basket.
"Come quickly! There's a baby crying." Jiang Zifeng waved to his mother and brother.
.......
Hiss...it hurts!
Jiang Miaomiao felt a tingling sensation in her hand, as if something was biting her.
I seem to hear someone talking...
Is it a human?
Someone is coming, she is saved!
She used all her strength to cry, even louder.
However, she has never had a sip of milk since she was born.
I'm so hungry now! I have no energy!
After a while, she felt herself being lifted down from a height.
Through the tears, she saw a thin oval face looking at her.
Their eyes met.
Lu Qingyao looked at the tearful baby in the basket, waving his little hands and feet, and crying until his lips turned purple.
The half-open swaddling clothes were wet.
The originally delicate little baby's face and hands were now red from the cold.
It's a miracle that I survived!
At this moment, Lu Qingyao's heart melted.
Jiang Miaomiao then fell into a warm embrace and was wrapped in a cloak.
So warm, so warm...
She was saved!
