Since his rebirth, Li Muhan has often had dreams that are very real, as if they really happened.
At first she didn't pay much attention to it, because the intervals were irregular and the dream fragments were too scattered. After waking up, she just found it interesting and forgot about it after a while.
But as time went by, there were more and more fragments in the dream. Gradually, she discovered that these fragments could be connected together, like a complete story line.
It's just that the timeline jumped a bit, from childhood to adulthood, and the characters involved gradually became clearer the more I dreamed about it.
For example, I dreamed about the man I married in Suicheng when I was interviewing in Suicheng. The two of them seemed like childhood sweethearts.
There is also a figure who is like a big brother, who takes good care of himself in the dream. In a trance, he also dreams of the scene of the two of them getting together in old age.
But these are just fragments after all. Even if they are too real, they are still dreams and can only be treated as dreams.
It was not until she fell into a coma after experiencing that near-death incident that she completely lived through her dream life. Only then did she realize that everything in the dream had indeed happened, and that it was in Puning Temple. The fortune teller she met there told her about her previous life.

In the early years of the Republic of China, there were two families in Fengtian, the Su family and the Ming family. Because the elders in the family studied in the same place, they had a good relationship and a close relationship.
In this generation, the daughters-in-law of two families happened to be pregnant at the same time. The elders in the family said that if the children born were a boy and a girl, they would become in-laws to make the relationship closer.
A few months later, the Ming family took the lead in giving birth to a baby boy, named Ming Zheng, which means standing upright and moving forward bravely.
Less than a month later, the Su family's daughter-in-law also gave birth to a baby girl named Su Nianjin.
The Su family hopes that she will be as gentle and peaceful as a hibiscus flower, but also full of tenacity!
The two elders did not expect that they would have a son and a daughter as they had hoped. They were so happy that the marriage was officially finalized.
In the blink of an eye, fifteen years have passed. Due to the relationship that their parents often talked about, Ming Zheng and Su Nianjin knew from childhood that they would get married and become each other's husband and wife when they grew up.
At first, when he was young, he didn't understand what it meant. When he was a child, Su Nianjin even pulled his brother Ming Zheng to ask,
"Brother Mingzheng, what is getting married?"
Her delicate and cute little face was filled with curiosity. She tilted her head and looked at Brother Ming Zheng in front of her with bright eyes, who was more than a head taller than her. She waited quietly for an answer.
In little Nianjin's world, her brother Ming Zheng is the most powerful. He can answer everything she doesn't understand and knows everything.
Xiao Mingzheng in front stopped immediately when he heard Xiao Nianjin ask.
Although the two of them are ten years old and only a month apart, Xiao Mingzheng's childish face is full of seriousness, making him feel like a little adult.
At that time, he didn't really understand the true meaning of getting married, but one thing he knew was that getting married meant that little Nianjin would be with him for the rest of his life, just like his father and mother, who would never be separated.
My mother had asked herself before, did she like sister Nianjin?
His answer was yes!
Sister Nianjin is very cute, so well-behaved and soft-spoken. She is not as noisy and troublesome as other children.
The mother asked again, does she want sister Nianjin to stay with her for the rest of her life?
He replied, we were already together, what's the problem?
Don't take it seriously!
Because of their good relationship, the two families were close to each other, and the same teacher taught them knowledge. The two stayed together almost every day.
So Xiao Mingzheng took it for granted that it would always be like this.
However, the mother explained that no, according to normal rules, when sister Nianjin grows up, she will marry like her cousin and go elsewhere to live with the person she marries.
Like my cousin?
Xiao Mingzheng frowned and his expression became not very good.
He hasn't seen his cousin for three years. She married in a far away place and can only communicate through letters!
Thinking of this, he immediately said no, he didn't like it very much, and Sister Nianjin could only stay with him.
"Then if we get married, sister Nianjin will be with me for the rest of her life?"
Xiao Mingzheng asked back.
"Of course! When the time comes, little Nianjin will be your bride, that is, your wife, and we will naturally stay together!"
"Is that what you call getting married? Like you and your father?"
"Yes!"
In fact, although the elders of the two parents have decided on the marriage of the two children, the parents still hope that the children can follow their own wishes and not be forced.
They are not such unenlightened people. The result of doing that is that neither child will be happy and happy.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Ming Zheng answered seriously,
"Getting married means that you will be my bride. We will be together for the rest of our lives and never be separated!"
Little Nianjin nodded her head in seeming understanding and let out a long oh.
In my heart, I was thinking that it would be great to be with brother Ming Zheng for the rest of my life!
also,
"When you get married, do you get to eat sweets and set off firecrackers?"
During the wedding ceremony at Uncle Shen's house in the front street, they set off firecrackers and had all kinds of delicious food. It was very lively.
Ming Zheng replied,
"All of them!"
Little Nianjin was so happy that she clapped her hands.
"Being able to be with brother Ming Zheng all the time, eating sweets and watching the fun, getting married, little Nianjin will be brother Ming Zheng's bride!"
They were still at an ignorant age, so the two of them made an agreement!
————
Back in time when they were fifteen years old, both of them had understood the true meaning of getting married, and both had different feelings for each other.
This is what the two of them have gradually discovered during this time. It is a kind of friendship that is different from the previous ones, like little companions and friends.
For Ming Zheng, he felt an even stronger desire to possess the sister Nian Jin next to him, who had gradually grown and become bright and dazzling.
Not just to simply stay by her side and never separate, but to stay together for a lifetime. He wanted to protect her for the rest of his life.
As for Su Nianjin, after realizing her feelings, when facing her brother Ming Zheng, she became more shy than a little girl, but she was not as clingy as before.
Not to mention holding arms and holding hands as intimately as they used to do.
At first, Ming Zheng was not used to this sudden alienation, which made him feel empty and began to think about why this happened.
After thinking about it, he found a time to test it out deliberately. He was worried that his sister Nianjin didn't care about him in that way and was worried about the baby kiss they had made since childhood, so he deliberately alienated her. .
If that was the case, he didn't know what to do, he couldn't bear to let go, and he couldn't bear to force it.
Fortunately, the results are gratifying!
After some insinuations, through the red cheeks and the look in his eyes, he was sure that Sister Nianjin had him in her heart.
While feeling proud, he directly made his feelings clear.
Under Su Nianjin's dual emotions of shock and shame, the two made an agreement to get married on their twentieth birthday.
————
After the elders of the two families learned the news, they were overjoyed and began to prepare for their wedding.
Although there are still five years left before their 20th birthday, the two families cannot resist the excitement and look forward to the time passing by quickly every day.
But what I didn’t expect was that the unexpected happened first!
The war suddenly broke out, and the government forced "military conscription". Men from Ming Zheng and other surrounding families were forcibly enlisted.
Although the situation at home is good, it is not up to the standards of a wealthy family, especially in the current situation, with a large family to live on.
He's not from a powerful family, so there's no way he can escape.
In the end, the two families, especially Su Nianjin, followed the team to the front line amid worry and reluctance.
————
After Ming Zheng left, the two families lived on tenterhooks every day, especially when they heard the battle report and the casualty list, they were afraid of seeing Ming Zheng's name in it.
But they couldn't write letters, because even if they knew the location of Ming Zheng now, by the time the letter passed, they would have gone elsewhere.
Occasionally, Ming Zheng would get letters sent back to report that he was safe, but it was only occasional, after all, the conditions were limited.
In the letters, in addition to reporting safety and greeting family members, there was always a separate letter written to Su Nianjin, telling the secret conversation between the two of them, and more about missing her.
There were only two things left in Su Nianjin's life, one was waiting for letters, and the other was reading the letters sent back.
She prays every day, hoping that her brother Ming Zheng is safe and returns soon.
————
The elders of the Su family didn't want Su Nianjin to stay like this, and hoped that she could do something to distract her attention.
They are all afraid that she will be imprisoned in her heart for a long time and develop a heart disease, and she will not be able to wait until the next day to come back.
At this time, Uncle Fu, who was working at home, mentioned in time that one of his relatives at home had a nephew who was good at painting and was worried about making a living at this time.
After all, the current situation was turbulent, and such impractical abilities as painting were completely useless, so it was difficult to find a livelihood.
But the Su family thought it was just right. After all, Su Nianjin had talked about wanting to learn painting before, but he couldn't find a suitable painter.
Right now, Su Nianjin had another thing to do, which distracted her from focusing on Ming Zheng.
The elders of the Su family immediately asked Uncle Fu to send a message to his nephew to come over.
In this way, Wu Sheng came to Su Zhai and became Su Nianjin's painting teacher.
At first, Su Nianjin was not very interested in learning painting because she was concerned about Ming Zheng.
But he also knew the intention of his elders in the family to do this at this period, and he didn't want to worry them, so he quietly followed suit.
Gradually, she found a way to make her miss Ming Zheng, and she became more attentive and serious.
And since Wu Sheng's arrival, another story has begun.
At this time, no one knew that this man, who did not speak much and had an even too reserved personality, would accompany Su Nianjin for the rest of his life.
