Chapter 2 Wake Up

Gu Jinli's head hurt very much, and his ears were full of noisy voices, people talking, footsteps on the road, shouting, scolding, and the sound of banging gongs and drums.

Gu Jinli wondered, she was already dead, how could she still hear voices and think normally?

She wanted to open her eyes to take a look at the current situation, but she couldn't. Her mind was like a revolving lantern, flashing a lot of memory pictures. These memory pictures belonged to her and a little girl in tattered sackcloth.

At first she didn't know what was going on, and it wasn't until three days later that she figured out what the memories in her mind represented.

She was reborn, reborn into this little girl after her death.

The little girl's name is Gu Jinli, and she has the same name and surname... But people in the village call her by her nickname Gu Xiaoyu, who is from Gujia Village, Gaoshui County, Long'an Prefecture, northwest of the Great Chu Dynasty.

Father Gu Dashan, mother Cui Shi, elder sister Gu Jinxiu and elder brother Gu Jinan are twins. They are 14 years old this year, and they have a younger brother Gu Jincheng. The whole family is on the way to flee the famine.

There are four people in Lao Gu's family, her father is the big one, and there are two uncles, three uncles and four uncles below.

In addition, there are three aunts, but only one of the aunts is called Gu Daya. She and Gu's father are twins, married in Linxian, and did not escape with them.

Mrs. Gu was a widow who married for the second time, the eldest aunt was brought by Mrs. Gu, and the younger aunt was the old daughter of Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu.

The little girl was injured by the five brothers of the Niu family because of a sweet potato, and she died just like that. She was reborn and was in a coma.

During the three days when she was in a coma, it was Dad Gu and Gu Jin'an who carried her along the way.Many victims on the road persuaded them to throw her away, and the old lady Gu even scolded ugly words, mocking their family for dragging a dead person, but Gu Dashan and his son didn't listen, and they carried her along no matter how difficult it was... This kindness, she Remember, you will definitely repay them.

As for the five brothers of the Niu family, since she took over the body of the original owner, she will avenge her!

Gu Jinli was a military doctor in her previous life. She knew that her brain becoming more and more awake was a sign that the blood clot in her brain had dissipated and she was about to wake up. Sure enough, on the third night, her heavy eyelids finally opened.

There are bonfires one after another, surrounded by a group of ragged, scrawny victims, some of them are very tired, they have already rested on the straw mats, some are eating dry food, some are chewing dry beans, Some people have no food and can only eat boiled leaves to satisfy their hunger.

Gu Dashan's family didn't even have boiled leaves, they only chewed on the leaves, which were obviously bitter and astringent, but they were very satisfied.

The youngest brother Cheng also smiled and said, "Mother and father, the leaves tonight are semi-green and there is water." Unlike yesterday, they were all withered and yellow, they tasted dry, and there was still a dry leaf. rotten smell.

Gu Jinli looked sad, opened his mouth and shouted, "Father...Mother...Big brother, big sister, little brother."

Her voice was dry, her throat hurt as if it was split open when she spoke, but she still insisted on calling out.

When Mrs Cui heard her voice, she was so startled that the leaves in her hands fell to the ground, she looked back and saw Gu Xiaoyu sitting up with her eyes open, she cried and hugged her: "Mother's little fish finally woke up."

Gu Dashan was so excited that his hands trembled, and Xiaoyu finally came back to life.

Gu Jincheng was very afraid that the second sister would die. Seeing her wake up, she threw herself on Gu Jinli's body and cried, "Wuwu, the second sister is alive, the second sister is not dead... The second sister doesn't want to die, Brother Cheng can find food by himself. Now, there is no need for Second Sister to find food for Brother Cheng."

The second sister was knocked out by the Niu brothers just to protect the sweet potatoes that she had exchanged for him.

"Xiaoyu." Gu Jinxiu's voice was choked, she had been worried about Gu Xiaoyu for the past three days, for fear that she would not be able to wake up.

Gu Jin'an was the happiest. The 14-year-old boy was starved and thin, his face was tanned and peeling, but he smiled happily and asked, "Is Xiaoyu hungry?"

Gu Jinan glanced at the old Gu family and saw that everyone in the old Gu family was already asleep, so he dared to take out a small bag of beans that he had hidden and handed it to Gu Xiaoyu: "Hurry up, these beans were left by my brother for Xiaoyu. , has been buried under the fire and cooked."

Everyone is short of water, and few people have cooked food these days, and they are all roasted and eaten.

After going through the things that he wanted food to save his life but couldn't, Gu Jinan became shrewd and began to take risks to hide food, but he didn't hide much, and he could hide a little at a time.

Gu Jinli looked at the more than 20 soybeans, mung beans, and black beans wrapped in a few dead leaves, and then looked at the emaciated family members surrounding her, grabbed the beans, divided a few pieces each, and said: "We, together Eat." The voice was still dry and unspeakable.

Gu Dashan hurriedly took out the bamboo tube, opened the stopper on the bamboo tube, and handed the bamboo tube to Gu Jinli: "Hurry up, little fish, this is our water."

On the road to escape from the famine, water is as precious as food. There is only a small half of the water left in the bamboo tube. They dared to take a small sip when they couldn't hold it any longer. They were afraid that they would run out of water and the little fish would not be able to survive without water.

Seeing that they didn't eat beans or drink water, Gu Jinli insisted, "Let's eat together."

Gu Dashan couldn't beat her, so they had to eat the beans, and everyone took another sip of water. Gu Jinli then ate the rest of the beans, drank two sips of water, and then returned the bamboo tube to Gu Dashan.

Gu Dashan said: "Xiaoyu, drink a few more sips. Dad will go to find water tomorrow. Our house will not run out of water. You can drink it with confidence."

Gu Jinli knew that the water was precious now, and there were only a few mouthfuls of water left in the bamboo tube, which was for life-saving use, so he shook his head: "Dad, I'm not thirsty, I don't need to drink too much water."

Gu Jinan worried about Gu Jinli's injury, and said to Gu Dashan, "Dad, I'll go and invite Doctor Du to show Xiaoyu."

"Father will invite you together." Brother An is only 14 years old, and it is only right for him, a father, to come forward to invite a doctor.

Cui Shi handed the bamboo tube to Gu Dashan: "Take this water and give it to Doctor Du."

For the past three days, Dr. Du has come every day to give the little fish acupuncture to remove blood stasis. Their family only gave half a bowl of grains on the first night. Now that they go to ask for it, they can only use water to pay for the consultation.

This is the only water left in the house, which is related to their lives, but Gu Dashan did not hesitate, took the bamboo tube, and took Gu Jinan to invite Doctor Du.

When Doctor Du heard that Gu Xiaoyu was awake, he came quickly, took Gu Xiaoyu's pulse, checked her pupils, and then took off the gray cloth bandaged her wound to check the wound, and asked her a few questions: "Are you dizzy? Does it have a headache? Is there something you don't remember?"

Gu Jinli replied one by one: "I'm not dizzy, my head still hurts... Some things I don't remember clearly."

She had Gu Xiaoyu's memory in her mind, but she had not experienced those things in her memory. She was worried that she would be exposed, so she followed Doctor Du's question.
