Grandma Guan is a good caregiver and can handle all the housework easily. She grew up watching Liu Rushuang and treated her like a daughter. She originally wanted to go out to work to support the family, but she was old and no one was willing. Use her. Ever since she came to the old house by the Dongting Lake, Granny Guan didn't like to eat very much. She would find some wild vegetables every day and add them to her mouth after the water had passed.
Little Liu Li asked Granny Guan why she didn't like rice porridge anymore, but Granny Guan said that she was too old to eat it.
Only Liu Rushuang secretly wiped her tears when the two little people couldn't see her.
"Madam, this Central Plains is different from when we left ten years ago. In the past few years, natural disasters have continued, and the country has refused to exempt taxes. Many people's land has been taken over by the gentry. Nowadays, the villagers' homes are lacking. Food, those who are not short of food will not be exchanged. After all, we don’t know what will happen this year. The autumn harvest is coming soon. If the year is not good, the harvest may be the same as last year. Hey, old lady, I have never seen such a depression. Dongting Lake!"
"Grandma Guan, don't talk about this. We still have enough food to last three days, but we don't dare to starve our children!"
"Okay, okay, madam, I don't want to listen to the old woman's nagging, so I'll shut up. I went to see my brother-in-law today. He runs a private school and is living a better life. He finally exchanged ten kilograms of wheat and can eat for a few days."
Grandma Guan took out a rice bag and Liu Rushuang took it carefully, but was a little surprised when she took it.
"This is?"
Granny Guan smiled and said, "Madam's embroidery work is good. My nieces liked it, so they begged their father to give them two more pounds."
Liu Rushuang put down the rice bag and took Granny Guan's hand. Tears began to accumulate in her eyes:
"Grandma Guan, don't fool me. In this situation, no one is willing to give more rice and grain. There are many good people who are short of money. Grandma, are you asking for help again! For me, an orphan and a widowed mother. I can’t wrong you!”
When Granny Guan was about to wave her hands and speak, little brother Liu Xin jumped into the door and shouted at his mother and Granny Guan:
"Mother, mother-in-law! That annoying spirit who came yesterday is here again. Come out quickly!"
Hearing Liu Xin's words, Granny Guan's face changed, and she moved like a rabbit. She picked up the broom beside the door and rushed out, leaving behind a sentence:
"Ma'am, please don't come out. I won't beat that damn trafficker away!"
Liu Rushuang squeezed Liu Xin's little hand into her palm, and then looked back at Liu Li who was still asleep on the bed due to the cold, her eyes full of worry.
Soon, Granny Guan's roar and a man's voice that was irritating were heard outside the door.
"Hey, don't fight, don't fight! You crazy woman! Tell your wife, a little person who was not born by you is going to waste food rations. It's better to sell it. That's only ten taels of silver! It's enough for your family to be comfortable. One year to live! Remember to tell me when you figure it out! Ouch, you damn crazy woman! Ouch, ouch, don’t fight, don’t fight, I’m leaving right now!”
"mother!"
When Liu Rushuang heard Liu Xin's voice, she lowered her head and saw that Liu Xin's face was a little rosy, her mouth was wide open, and she was grinning. Her hands trembled and she immediately let go. Just now, he subconsciously clenched his fists and forgot that Liu Xin's little hand was still in his palm. At this time, the latter's little hand had been squeezed and turned white.
Quickly leaning down, Liu Rushuang stroked Liu Xin's head: "Xin'er, I'm sorry. Mom was lost in thought just now and hurt you. Mom apologizes to you!"
"Mom, you don't need to apologize. The new baby is not afraid of pain. Mom, don't worry too much. The new baby will grow up soon. When he grows up, the new baby can protect his mother and Li'er. He must also protect Granny Guan and Li'er. Xiaoxue!”
Liu Xin looked at the majestic Granny Guan entering the house, holding a broom upside down. She immediately smiled and spoke the last few words in a louder voice.
Grandma Guan repeatedly said that Liu Xin was a good boy, and then took Liu Xin to the kitchen and started making rice porridge. Liu Rushuang was left squatting on the ground and sobbing softly.
That night, Liu Li's fever finally subsided. Grandma Guan found a job cleaning a shop and had to go back very late. Maid Xiaoxue will not be able to come back until she takes a nap, and after all, it will be three days later.
Liu Rushuang looked at the two children sleeping soundly on the bed, and her heart was extremely strong. She must persevere, for these two children, and for this family!
crunch
Liu Rushuang, who was still asleep, opened her eyes wide when she heard the sound. Because this is not the news that Granny Guan is back.
Grandma Guan would usually open the courtyard door loudly, and sometimes she would cough twice, just to reassure the family. But this time there was just a slight crunch, and then there was no movement.
Liu Rushuang stood up carefully, took a pair of scissors from the bedside and held them tightly in her hands.
Just as she carefully got off the bed, the door to the room suddenly opened, a cool breeze rushed in, and then a dark figure rushed over. Liu Rushuang had never seen anything like this before. She screamed and felt her whole body go limp, but the next moment she thought of the two children on the bed. All the strength in his body suddenly returned. Seeing the black figure approaching, he handed over the scissors in his hand.
But the black figure also had something in his hand. He knocked the scissors out of Liu Rushuang's hand with a single sweep. Liu Rushuang did not give up the action because of the pain in her hands due to the scissors being knocked out. She jumped up and hung directly on the black figure's body. , with no other weapons, he just bit it with his teeth. The black figure grunted and threw Liu Rushuang on the pillar beside him. Liu Rushang fell heavily to the ground.
Another figure appeared behind the black shadow. Liu Rushuang was kicked in the face by this person. Liu Rushuang screamed in pain, and then she heard a scream that made her liver and gallbladder burst.
"Mother! Mother!"
This was Liu Xin's voice. The two men in black were obviously here for the children. When two came, they were prepared to take one each. But they didn't expect that one of the two children would get sick, which would be serious, so the two One of the black figures hugged Liu Xin and walked out of the house quickly, while the other came to Liu Rushuang hatefully and kicked her body.
Although Liu Rushuang was in great pain, she stood up and hugged the man in black's trouser legs. The man in black kicked Liu Rushuang desperately, but Liu Rushuang clung to the man in black and kept saying, "Let Xin'er go." , let go of Xin'er's words.
Three days later, when Liu Xin left a black cloth bag and saw the light of day again, he only felt that he was cold, very cold. An old man with white hair and white beard came up to him, put a cotton-padded jacket on him, and said something to him that he couldn't understand at the time and couldn't remember later.
From this day on, Liu Xin and Liu Li became orphans, the old man with the white beard became his master, and his mother, Granny Guan and Xiaoxue disappeared.
When Liu Xin grew up and returned to the place called Bainijia in Dongting Lake, the Liu family's old house was covered with weeds, and the master said that their house had been burned to ashes. As for why it turned into gray, he didn't know the process.
As for Liu Xin and Liu Li, disciples of the Holy Sect who were walking at the foot of the mountain took them back from the traffickers and brought them up the mountain.
Wow...
All the scenes were covered by wind and snow, and then Liu Xin felt as if his soul had penetrated the sky. He kept flying up to the sky, flying up into the sky, and finally came to the clouds and saw a building built on the clouds.
A man with red vertical pupils on his forehead sat on the throne, his body shrouded in misty light and shadow.
"You're here."
A majestic voice sounded, echoing continuously in the clouds.
Liu Xin was very familiar with this voice.
Then the halo spread, and Liu Xin closed his eyes due to the stimulation of the bright light. When he opened his eyes again, he was already sitting on a section of a stone table. On the table were some pieces of paper with some numbers on them, warriors, and clown.
"The current number is 4092..."
A sweet female voice sounded in the sky.
Shen Lian raised the cards in his hand and smiled:
"King Zha!"
Liu Xin looked at the three threes, a pair of fours, and three cards in his hand that were four, five, and six in silence.
"Don't do it, just do it if you want to, I can't beat you at all!"
Shen Lian chuckled and threw the last five cards in his hand on the stone table:
"Shunzi! I won again, hahahaha! This is the first time I have seen someone with such bad luck, hahahaha!"
Liu Xin had a black line on his head and reluctantly dropped the cards in his hand.
"No more fun, my number was called again just now, how long until it's my turn?"
Shen Lian said while packing up the cards:
"You are 4192, and there are exactly one hundred more. If you calculate that it takes ten and a half days to call a number, when will it be your turn."
Liu Xin couldn't help but clenched his fists, and the veins on his forehead were beating:
"There are still more than two years and I can't wait any longer!"
Shen Lian packed up the cards and shuffled them smoothly. Then he glanced at Liu Xin's face and said with a relaxed expression:
"What's the rush? I've been waiting for several years. Don't be afraid of being late for a good meal! Come on, let's continue!"
Liu Xin waved his hand and said:
"Not in the mood!"
Shen Lian reluctantly put the cards into his storage space, patted them and sat down.
"Since you're not in the mood, let's chat and drink some chicken soup!"
Liu Xin rolled her eyes at Shen Lian:
"Those who always say they drink chicken soup have never seen the real chapter!"
Shen Lian chuckled:
"You've been here for so long and you still haven't learned enough. This chicken soup is not that chicken soup!
Okay, seeing how miserable you are, I’ll give you a chance to ask me three questions! "
There was movement on Shen Lian's face, and he took a deep look at Shen Lian. Although this guy was a god, he had an out-of-touch personality and was not a serious god.
But his mouth is very tight. Over the past few years, he hasn't been able to get much out of his mouth.
I don’t know what happened today, but I suddenly felt so kind.
Liu Xin's bad mood immediately dissipated a lot. After thinking for a moment, he asked his first question:
"Why can I be reborn?"
Shen Lian seemed to have been waiting for this question for a long time and answered almost without thinking:
"Because you are not the first to be reborn!"
This answer surprised Liu Xin.
Then I heard Shen Lian continue to say:
"Actually, I could have told you this matter a long time ago, but if you didn't ask, I can't tell you directly due to the regulations. Please listen carefully to me!"
As he spoke, Shen Lian fetched a cup of tea and several plates of snacks out of thin air, and looked like he was going to have a long speech.
In fact, in the final analysis, what Shen Lian is talking about is a gamble in the divine world.
The two sides in the gambling fight were the Eastern and Western God Realms. The content of the second gambling fight was said by Shen Lianwu, but the method of the second gambling fight was based on the world where Liu Xin existed, and the ending of the East and West as the entire gambling game.
Shen Lian didn't say much. He just said that the West has great innate advantages, so he gave us three chances to come back again. There are also three conditions that can be mentioned.
"Who is responsible for raising the conditions? Me or?"
Shen Lian smiled and pointed at himself, and Liu Xin stopped talking.
Shen Lian pointed at Liu Xin and continued:
"The conditions I proposed are very simple. Combined with the performance of the two people before you, I chose to let you recall some content at certain moments, such as a memorable moment in your previous life, or our current conversation.
Of course, there is a limit to the number of times this kind of memory recall can occur. I have won three chances for you.
You can set three keywords or key trigger mechanisms to allow you to enter a state of memory recall when you activate these keywords after rebirth.
Of course, because we are the weak side, in addition to opening the memory, we will also receive gifts from me immediately. "
"Who are those two in front of me?" Liu Xin asked curiously.
It seems that I am the third one to be reborn, so why is it my turn? Did the first two fail?
Shen Lian looked at him curiously and asked with a half-smile:
"Is this your second question?"
Liu Xin shook his head repeatedly.
Shen Lian chuckled and then said:
"This is a rare opportunity, so you should seize it. This conversation is actually the result of high-level discussions.
You can only ask three questions, but there are no rules on how much I should answer, so just listen.
Regarding my gifts, this is the key point I want to talk to you about this time. I will give you three gifts based on your abilities. With these three gifts, you may be able to regain some disadvantages.
Of course, whether it is memory recall or my gift, everything is two-way. When I give it to you, the West will also receive the same gift.
But we all agree that they are not afraid of bites if they have too many lice, and it makes no difference to them if they have more or less lice. "
After Shen Lian said this, Liu Xin still couldn't restrain his curiosity and decided to use up the opportunity to ask questions:
"I want to ask, who is our opponent? I remember you said that my rebirth will bring about the rebirth of a being who is deeply involved with me. Is the opponent him?"
Shen Lian looked at the third Shen Lian's son he had chosen with satisfaction.
"Yes, as expected of you, you are indeed smart."
Liu Xin looked at Shen Lian in surprise: "That's it? I wasted an opportunity to ask a question, and this is how you answered me?"
Shen Lian scratched his head in embarrassment:
"There is really nothing to say about this matter. Even if you ask for the answer now, you will definitely not be able to take this part of the memory with you when you are reborn. On the contrary, it may affect your judgment. It is better not to tell you."
Liu Xin looked at Shen Lian and said stubbornly:
"It should be up to me to judge whether you treat me well or not!"
Shen Lian stared at Liu Xin for a long time, and finally said helplessly:
"Well, actually, your first two predecessors were both very capable people. It can be said that they were people in your world who could change the world easily."
Liu Xin interrupted: "Such a person is not the emperor... No, he may also be the prince, the governor of the Five Army Governor's Mansion, the four princes of the Northern Barbarians, or even the head of the sect of the Jianghu..."
Shen Lian stretched out his hand to stop Liu Xin's words:
"Yes, these are all the people you mentioned, but the ones I selected are dragons and phoenixes among people, even more powerful than the ones you mentioned. Maybe you just don't know how powerful they are. The real monsters are all hidden. Those who stand up will only show their prowess to those they recognize."
Liu Xin thought for a while and said, "If you say that, then I have something to tell you!"
Shen Lian smiled and continued without saying anything more:
"You just need to know that this is your last chance. If you lose, you lose."
“You can set your own anchor, and when this anchor appears, you will enter memory recall.
Of course, don't set too common anchors for yourself, as they will easily become invalid.
It must be enough and profound enough! "
Liu Xin was silent for a while, then suddenly looked up. He had already decided what his first anchor would be.
"Xue Sheng's spear!"
Shen Lian nodded and said: "Indeed, its appearance has a strong memory point. I have traveled across the world for so many years, and I have never seen such a top-notch weapon. Tsk, tsk, tsk, I can only say that creation is a trick. .”
Liu Xin ignored Shen Lian. He was still racking his brains to think about the next two anchors.
An hour later, when Shen Lian fell asleep, Liu Xin finally set three anchors.
"Okay, I'm going to ask you the third question!"
Shen Lian woke up suddenly, with a trace of translucent liquid still left at the corner of his mouth.
"Ah, it's time to eat. Let's go for a walk. Don't forget to bring your card!"
Liu Xin: "..."
While eating, Liu Xin asked:
“What will it look like after the set anchor is triggered?”
Shen Lian started to think while pulling his big bowl of wide noodles until it filled his mouth.
After he swallowed the noodles with all his strength, he picked up the water on the table and took two gulps, and then said:
"Based on previous experience, it may be that when your conscious mind falls into a deep sleep, the anchor in your subconscious mind will be activated, the lock will be opened, and these memories will surge out like waves. As for how you can get out of your memories? What you capture depends on what is most profound about you. So when I ask you to set your heart anchor, you should choose something as profound as possible."
"So, by activating the heart anchor, I will think of these memories while dreaming?" Liu Xin plucked at the big bowl with his chopsticks.
Shen Lian had already taken another big bite, as if a prisoner who had not had a big bowl of wide noodles for several years had been released.
After a long while, he said:
"Well, it might be when you're asleep, or it might be when you're in a coma. In short, it's when your consciousness is at its vaguest that your subconscious can come to the surface and be captured by you."
Liu Xin was confused when he heard it, but he finally understood it roughly.
