On a moonlit night on the island, the moonlight is bright.
After finishing the porridge, Grandma Lu cleared the dishes and chopsticks by the moonlight to save money on lamp oil.
An old man and a young man were sitting next to each other, bickering, and there was no lack of excitement.
"Strange, how could the old man come to such a place where chickens don't lay eggs and birds don't poop? The place where I live is obviously not like this. Who threw grandpa here?" The old man crossed his legs and repeated his daily routine after meals. Confuse.
Aunt Lu was tired of answering, "Didn't I tell you? You fell into the sea with Tianbao and were washed here."
"Impossible! Can a person survive after falling into the sea? Even if he washes up on the shore, he will be dead! You little girl, tell me, am I right?"
"not dead."
The woman's faint words made the old man so angry that his triangular eyes drooped, "It's boring! The old man won't play with you anymore!"
Grandma Lu shook her head helplessly, put the cleaned dishes and chopsticks into the small cupboard, and looked around the room in the dim light.
They have lived here for two years, and the house is still the same as when they first arrived, without adding anything new.
The place is so simple that there is no bed, so you can only sleep on a mat on the ground.
The only thing left was a small iron pot with a missing handle and a few sets of bowls and chopsticks found in the corner.
The small dining table and stools in the room were given to them out of kindness by the people next door who felt sorry for them.
Two years ago, she woke up and was in mid-air when she opened her eyes. Before she could realize what was going on, she fell down and hit Tianbao right next to her.
The place where they fell was a remote beach not far behind. Both Tianbao and the old man were lying there, half of their bodies still immersed in the sea water, as if they had been washed up on the beach by the waves after falling into the water.
At that time, Tian Bao was so angry that his whole body was covered with scars cut by the blade. After the wounds were soaked in water, his skin turned white and turned out, which was very scary.
With such a serious injury, she almost thought the little girl wouldn't survive.
The old man's injuries were not serious either. He may have hit a rock while in the sea, and the back of his head was swollen. This was probably the reason why his memory was confused after he woke up.
Thinking of this, Grandma Lu glanced at the unattractive old man. When she first discovered the two of them, the old man's hand was still holding Tianbao's wrist tightly, as if he would not let go even if he died.
It's a good time now, I woke up, my memory is messed up, I don't even recognize my beloved granddaughter.
"It's getting late, let's all get some rest early. Get up and go fishing with me tomorrow morning." Grandma looked at the poisonous old man when she spoke. This was an order to expel the guests.
The old man said with a sad face, "It's already getting late? The moon is still in the sky, why are you sleeping so early?"
"Tianbao just woke up three months ago and is very weak. It's not good to go to bed late." She explained patiently.
"I told you she is not Tianbao. Tianbao is my granddaughter's name! Look at the stinking look on her face all day long. How does she resemble my granddaughter? My granddaughter is beautiful and has a good temper. Look at her. The old man always has a smile on his face and never keeps a straight face. My granddaughter is loved by everyone, and there are many people lining up to ask for her hand in marriage——"
Before the old man finished yelling, he was carried by the woman and put at the door, and the small wooden door of the house slammed shut.
The old man stared at the broken door that could be knocked down with one finger, "..."
Can such a few broken boards stop him?
The poisonous old man has a good heart, so he won't argue with the smelly girl this time. Next time he throws him out, he will have to get her something delicious!
snort.
Speaking of which, why is this girl so strong that she can actually lift him up?
What about showing off? Just give her some musk powder!
"Hey, hey, where are my medicines? Where have the old man's medicines gone?" The old man walked in the moonlight to the small shabby house next door. He murmured as he walked, his hands reaching into his armpits and hair, "It must be Which doge coin stole the old man’s medicine! Don’t let me catch you!”
After the old man left, Grandma Lu quickly walked to the small basket where clothes were piled in the house, removed the basket, took out a small box from the back corner and handed it to Tianbao.
"This is the little bug I found on you when I rescued you two years ago. I saw that it was as white as jade. Although I have never seen it before, I can tell that it is a very precious species. It should be something you treasure. Fortunately. It was not washed away by the sea water. At that time, this little thing was hiding in your clothes and curled up... Now that you have woken up, I leave this thing to you to keep."
Tianbao took the small box and walked to the small window to open the lid. The moonlight fell into the box. Inside, there was a bug as thin as cotton thread curled up quietly. Its body glowed with a very beautiful white light, like feathers and jade. .
The moonlight also fell on her pale face, revealing her true appearance.
There are centipede-shaped scars running vertically and horizontally from the cheeks to the bridge of the nose and between the eyebrows. They are pink and raised, ugly and ferocious.
The neck that cannot be covered by the collar is also covered with scars, which is shocking.
"Mine?" Twisting the little bug between his fingers, Tianbao frowned, with a hint of disgust in his eyes, "I know how to raise such a thing?"
"Mommy used to learn Gu. She has seen hundreds of bugs. You can spot this precious and rare bug in your hand at a glance. This kind of bug is not easy to encounter. Once it is found on you, it is yours. You Keep it, maybe you can still use it later when you have remembered everything." Aunt Lu smiled lightly.
Fortunately, she was a poisoner and was extremely sensitive to bugs, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to find this little bug and it would have been easily wiped out.
After listening to Mammy's words, Tianbao pursed her lips and put the box in her arms.
When she woke up three months ago, she didn't even know her own name. Her grandma told her that her name was Tianbao.
In fact, she didn't feel much about her amnesia.
It doesn't matter if I can't remember the past.
She had a vague feeling that she lived alone a long time ago.
It's not a good memory, full of coldness, loneliness and pain.
It’s okay if you can’t remember it.
Aunt Lu had already laid out the bedding on the ground, "Go to sleep quickly. Although you have been awake for three months, you are still too weak and your bones and joints are not very flexible yet. You need to take good care of yourself. When you take good care of yourself, I'll try to find a way to see if we can return to the Central Plains."
After finishing speaking, the old woman sighed silently, with a cloud of worry between her brows.
As an old woman, she didn't have many ways to make money. The copper she earned every day was only enough for three people to live on. How could she have any money left to buy medicine for Tian Bao to replenish her health?
Let alone return to the Central Plains...she couldn't even save a fraction of the expenses.
She had to find a way to earn more money. She would go to sea tomorrow and look deeper into the sea, maybe she could catch more fish.
The moonlit night was quiet and silent all night.
Early the next morning, the old man next door was woken up by Grandma Lu and drove him to go fishing together.
"You can fish as long as you want. Why should I call the old man every time?"
"Let me tell you, my poisonous old man has only played poison and never fished in his whole life! You have found the wrong person! See if I can catch fish when I go out with you?"
"Sister, you can go alone. Can you let grandpa go back and take a nap?"
Tianbao woke up to the old man's shouting going away, and smiled unconsciously. Grandpa Du still spoke like that regardless of seniority.
This thought flashed through her mind, and she was startled.
Poison Grandpa?
Why did she call him like that?
When she was about to delve deeper, a slight pain immediately shot through her head. Tianbao hurriedly pressed her head to stop herself from thinking further. When the pain dissipated, she got up and walked out of the house.
