In late spring in Huaxi Village, it is the busy farming season, and the villagers are working in the fields.
Apart from the chirping of birds and the chirping of insects, the only sound left next to the river flowing through the village is the sound of gurgling water - and the faint intermittent calls for help.
The cry for help came from near a trestle across the two banks. In the center of the river, a woman was struggling in the water. Her black hair was as messy as seaweed and spread over her face. Her appearance could not be seen clearly, but when she heard her cry for help, she was very young, no more than the age of a nutmeg.
On the trestle, just three steps away from the girl who fell into the water, there was another girl of similar age standing quietly.
Although the girl on the trestle still has some cute baby fat on her face, her eyes are fierce and sinister. It is hard to believe how a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl can have such a creepy expression.
"In this life, I will not let you become a stumbling block for me, Xu Linlang, again..." She murmured to herself, "It would be best if you disappeared forever."
When the water surface calmed down, Xu Linlang swept away the evil look on her face, put on a panicked expression, and hurried towards the busy villagers, shouting in a sad and desperate voice: "Here comes someone! Help! Someone fell into the river!"
'It's so uncomfortable, I feel like I'm suffocating! '
In the darkness, Su Qingluan wanted to call for help, but felt that she had taken a large gulp of cold water. The survival instinct made her swing her limbs desperately to swim upward - she didn't want to die!
Using her last bit of strength, she swam to the shore, and then everything went dark, and she didn't know who was going on.
While half asleep and half awake, Su Qingluan felt that her body was hot and cold. There seemed to be many figures shaking around her, buzzing and saying something, but she couldn't hear it clearly.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Qingluan opened her eyes.
She felt so weak and weak all over, her field of vision was almost completely dark, with only a slight swaying light coming from her side.
Su Qingluan struggled to turn her head to follow the light source and saw a thin woman sitting in the candlelight, patching up a dark-colored robe?
The style of the 'robe' was a bit strange. It was stacked in the woman's arms and could not be seen clearly under the dim candlelight, but it did not look like the common cheongsam or similar styles of clothes on the market.
'Why doesn't this person turn on the lights at night...Is there a power outage? ' As soon as she said this, Su Qingluan's eyes froze - the cross-collar style on the woman's body is clearly the traditional Hanfu style!
Is this cosplay?
Su Qingluan wanted to get up and ask what was going on, but her movements also alarmed the woman sitting under the candlelight. She turned her face when she heard the sound. Her face, which looked friendly and endearing because the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, was stunned at first, and then overflowing with surprise. He came out: "My dear girl, are you awake?!"
Excited, the needle in the woman's hand pricked her finger, and big drops of blood came out, but she didn't seem to feel the pain, she still smiled and hurriedly inserted the needle back into the pin board, and first leaned over and touched Su. Qingluan's forehead, and then let out a long sigh of relief: "The fever has finally subsided, but I was so scared that I lost my soul. Are you hungry? I'm going to get you some food."
Su Qingluan looked confused: "...Who are you? Where is this?" Also, she was already twenty-six years old. The woman in front of her who was smiling with tears looked like she was no more than thirty years old at most. How could she still be there? Call yourself "mother"?
The smile on the woman's face froze when she heard this, and she thought in her heart: Oops, could it be that she had been having a fever for a few days and was so feverish that she went crazy?
In the blink of an eye, it has been five days since Su Qingluan woke up. Although he still lies in bed most of the time due to his unrecovered illness, he can now sit up and is in much better spirits.
After repeated confirmations in the past few days, she made one thing clear: the woman sitting under the candlelight was not cosplaying, but she had traveled through time.
The family she traveled to was a farmer. Her father and mother had three children.
Su Qingluan's body is that of the family's eldest daughter, Su Daya, who is thirteen years old this year. There is also a seven-year-old brother Su Erzhuang and a younger sister Su Sanya who is less than four years old.
His father, Su Guangfunong, was a man of few words and a pragmatic character. He farmed during busy periods and hunted and did carpentry in his spare time. My mother-in-law Su Yang has a cheerful and enthusiastic personality. In addition to helping with farming, she also does some female labor to support the family.
If there is anything unusual about this family and other places, it is the romantic relationship with the Anning Marquis Mansion in the Imperial Capital.
Originally, a small peasant family like this would never have anything to do with princes and nobles. However, by chance twelve years ago, the two families happened to go to the popular Longjue Temple to seek fortune-telling and pray for blessings. However, they encountered heavy rain on the way down the mountain in the afternoon and had to huddle together to take shelter.
At that time, there were so many people, regardless of whether they were high or low, they were in a mess. Yang and the nanny of Anning Hou Mansion took the wrong child in their arms in a panic.
When Yang discovered that the quality of the swaddling clothes was wrong the next day, she went back to the shelter from the rain, but she could not find any trace of him. Yang had no choice but to take the baby girl home and raise her as if she were her own. It was not until a few days ago that her adopted daughter became acquainted with An Ninghou Mansion again with her swaddling clothes.
After punishing the wet nurse who concealed the truth for fear of being blamed, the real lady recognized her ancestors and returned to her clan and left with infinite glory. The original fake lady who occupied the magpie's nest couldn't accept her fate of falling from the clouds into the mud for a while, and couldn't think of jumping into the river. Suicide gave Su Qingluan, a lonely soul from another world who had not lived enough, a chance to return to life.
It is said that the daughter of the Zhenhou Mansion found out that she had thrown herself into the river and called for help. She also sent her maids to visit him twice in the past few days when Su Qingluan was in a coma due to high fever.
Su Qingluan saw the maid after she woke up, and it seemed that she should have recognized her. However, Su Qingluan did not inherit the memory of the original owner, and just took advantage of the "high fever" to use the amnesia method - anyway, it is not uncommon for people to become stupid and disabled after a high fever for many days, so it is not surprising that she has forgotten all her past, right?
Unexpectedly, everyone seemed to accept her "amnesia" well. And I don't know if it was her misunderstanding, but Su Qingluan felt that the maid in An Ninghou Mansion seemed a little relieved and happy when she knew that she had forgotten her past?
Maybe it was her misunderstanding.
But after that time, the maid never came again. After asking around, it turned out that he had followed the real lady from the Hou Mansion back to the Imperial Capital.
In contrast, the Su family's parents were really worried about her burning out her brain, but they didn't want her to recall too many past events.
Probably because he was afraid that she would think of something and commit suicide - Su Qingluan sighed in her heart: That kind of worry in the eyes but not knowing where to start can only be said to be pitiful for the parents in the world.
According to the current situation, the original owner probably died after drowning in the river. Now that she has taken over the body of the original owner, Su Qingluan decided to accept the fate of the original owner "falling into the clouds" and try to live in this strange time and space.
In her previous life, Su Qingluan was not a few years younger than the Su family's parents when she died. But since he planned to start over, Su Qingluan was thick-skinned and spent a long time mentally building himself up. He decided to give Old Cucumber a fresh coat of paint and called out softly to Su Guangfu and his wife: "Dad... Aunt..."
Hearing the eldest daughter, who had been silent since waking up, timidly call her father and mother, the couple looked at each other in relief and smiled in unison.
Compared with the honest and dull Su Guangfu, Yang has a cheerful temperament. She touched Su Qingluan's temples tenderly and kindly: "What's the problem, Da Ya? Now that you're home, don't be heretical. If you have anything to say to your parents, as long as your parents can do it!"
Su Qingluan thought for a while, looked at the Su family's parents, and said seriously: "I want to change my name."
