Cousin girl's salted fish life

Chapter 1 Last Words
In February, the weather was warm and cold, and the gloomy sky outside took advantage of the remaining snow, which made people feel even colder.The three-headed Huilan girl in heavy mourning was kneeling in a daze on her father's mourning hall, her body feeling cold for a while.Hearing the mixed noise of crying, talking, and chanting sutras and beating bowls, after a long while, he suddenly rolled his eyes and passed out.The sound in the ear gradually dissipated, and finally I only heard Mama Wang screaming in my ear, girl, girl, and finally fell into darkness.

Li Huilan is a literary worker, a third-rate Internet writer who works diligently from dawn to dusk, and is a humble social animal.Staying up late is commonplace, and there is no rule in eating and drinking. As for the content of eating, it is even more random.Finally, in my thirties, after staying up all night for several consecutive nights, I finally fell headfirst on the keyboard.

When I opened my eyes again, there was a silky quilt in my hand, a bed curtain embroidered with patterns on top of my head, a log-colored bed rail beside my head, the dim candlelight coming in from the hanging bed curtain, and a woman lying twenty centimeters beside her arm. A head with a bun and a headgear far away... With the brain of a person who has been coding all the year round, what else can he think of!
She didn't know whether it was the strong stimulation or the strong sleepiness from her predecessor, but after a quick brainstorm, she just closed her eyes and fell asleep.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already dawn outside.The previous suspected dream scene was exactly the same except for the missing head lying beside the bed.Pinching her thigh, Whelan wanted to cry, but she thought she was sleepy and foolish and dreamed of a scene from a novel, but in the end...it hurts! ! !
Who am I, where am I, I... Whelan is more dumbfounded than a fool who fell into a trap at this moment.

There is only time to judge that the age has shrunk seriously, but the gender remains the same.Hearing hurried footsteps from far to near, whether to play dead or play dead, Whelan immediately closed her eyes.

Hearing the voice, it was not alone, and someone was told as he walked: "Hurry up and prepare hot water and clothes, and wait for the girl to get up." The visitor quickly walked to the bed, and gently placed the back of his hand on Huilan's forehead, as if loosening In one breath, "The fever is gone at last, the girl is about to wake up, the master is calling the girl." While speaking, she gently pushed Whelan's small arm.

Whelan opened her eyes slowly and tremblingly, pretending to be sleepy, and was helped to sit up before she saw the person coming.Then a little girl approached with a dress, and the older sister quickly took it and put it on Whelan.This wave of operations made Whelan feel uncertain, why not follow the routine.Her eyes are still smeared, what should she do if she reveals her secrets?
"I..." I couldn't help opening my mouth, but I didn't know what to say. I just looked around anxiously while being put on the top, pants, skirt, shoes and so on by the elder sister... er, the aunt stood on the ground.

"Don't be afraid, girl, the master is in a hurry to call you over, and he must explain something. Even if the girl is afraid and sad, don't show it in front of the master, lest the master..." She squatted down to button up Huilan and put on her shoes, holding back as she spoke. Her eyes were red, she quickly turned her face away and wiped her eyes with her sleeve, then stood up and dragged her to wash up.

Whelan couldn't help but her eyes turned red, it's unclear, what are you talking about, what should I do!

Wiping her face with a hot handkerchief, rinsing her mouth again, and simply brushing her hair into a bun, Whelan was tightly covered from head to toe by a cloak, and then she was hugged by the aunt and hurried out.

After trying to earn a living, Whelan gave up resistance.He must be taken to see the father of this body. The expression and tone of this aunt just now are not right.In addition, even a poor family has to eat some warm food early in the winter before working hard, not to mention that this family is not like a poor family.Could it be that the father is about to do something and wants to confess his last words? ?This... what if she reveals her secrets, she won't be taken away directly!Calm down, take one step at a time.This body was sick before. It was a cold day, and there were children who were still sick. Whelan decided to pretend to be stupid!
While pondering the details, she felt a bright light in front of her eyes, which made her close her eyes.It turned out that he entered the house and the cloak was taken off.Whelan wasn't in the mood to look at the furnishings in the room. She was so choked by the smell of medicine that she couldn't open her eyes, and coughed several times.The aunt finally put her down, and it felt so good to touch the ground with her feet.She was busy stroking her back, and brought water to her mouth for her to drink a few sips.Whelan quickly lowered her head and drank vigorously. She was so nervous that she forgot that she hadn't even had a sip of water since she opened her eyes, and her mouth felt dry and uncomfortable.

After hastily drinking a glass of water, Whelan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally came back to life.

"You take people down, and prepare Hui'er something that she likes to eat and is easy to digest. You can eat it when you go back. Let Li Zhou clean up all the people in the yard, and he will take people to guard The gate of the courtyard." A weak young man who was sitting on his back said softly, finally attracting Whelan's attention.

"Yes" the great god who carried her bowed in response, hugged her and sat on the edge of the bed, then backed out.

Whelan watched her close the door, sitting on the edge of the bed nervously, not daring to move, her heart fluttered and her mind went blank.

"Mother Wang reported that your fever has gone down. I'm so thankful. How do you feel now?" A big hand with protruding knuckles gently grabbed her small hand.The cold big hand made Whelan startled, and finally couldn't help looking over it.Entering the eyes is a skinny young man with a sallow complexion but a gentle smile, looking at her in the same way as her father looked at her.Whelan suddenly felt sad, this is also a father who loves his daughter deeply, and he is still a patient.She couldn't help but put the other hand on his, "Hui'er is fine, you, don't worry, take care of yourself." How should I call it, father, father, Aye...? ? ?
"Good boy, cough, cough, cough..." Before he finished speaking, he coughed a lot.Seeing that he was coughing uncomfortably, and his body was being moved non-stop, Whelan couldn't reach him even if he wanted to pat him on the back, so he could only caress his chest non-stop.Finally stopped coughing, he leaned against the pillow with sweat profusely and panted non-stop, feeling that it might happen at any moment... Whelan hurriedly got out of bed, ran to the small table next to the bed, poured a glass in a hurry He tiptoed to hand the water to his mouth and fed him little by little.

After drinking half of a glass of water and spilling half, she finally stopped panting, and Whelan heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing his face turn rosy, Whelan was not happy but surprised, this must be some kind of flashback, right? "I... I'm going to call someone." As he said that, he was about to run out, but his hand was grabbed.Although there is a patient on the bed, she is just a short-legged pea diced one or two centimeters higher than the bed.

"Father is fine, Hui'er don't worry." Finally knowing how to address her, Huier was not at all relieved.

She couldn't climb up, and her father had no strength, so she stood on the steps and exposed her head.He finally saw his father's appearance clearly, with soft brows, bright eyes, ruddy complexion, thin cheeks, blue lips, somewhat messy withered yellow hair, and the big hands in his hands were hot.With this appearance, Whelan couldn't help feeling sad and her eye circles turned red, but she still bit her lip so as not to cry.

"Hui'er, good boy, don't cry and don't be afraid. My father was in poor health since he was a child. He was born into a family of generals but he couldn't practice martial arts. He often regretted it. Huier should not forget to learn some boxing and kicking to keep fit. Father doesn't expect you to be honored and honored in the future, but only hopes that you will be safe, happy and live a long life." Father smiled lovingly.

Whelan didn't care about this situation, she nodded with a smile and agreed, "Father, don't worry, my daughter will never forget. She will practice martial arts to strengthen her body, and she will be healthy and healthy; she will be happy and live a long and long life."

"Okay..." Father smiled gratifiedly.He tilted his head and coughed a few times before continuing: "Originally, this title was handed down to me as the last generation of Xiangcheng Bo. If you have a brother, you will be downgraded. Your mother left early, and I have no intention of continuing it." , I should be lucky now, or else I have cheated another girl. My son has suffered only because he has no brother to support him, and he has no real uncle. In the future, even his mother’s family will almost disappear."

What a good man, Miss Hui is also very miserable, no father, no mother, no brothers and no uncles, it is not easy in modern times, let alone this ancient time, what a miserable girl!The father who loves his daughter in front of him is almost dying, and he is still worried about his daughter. No wonder the aunt told her not to cry in front of her face.As an adult, she should let him go with peace of mind.She smiled and comforted him: "Father, don't worry about your daughter. My daughter is a daughter of the Jiangmen Tiger. She has a blood lineage. She is born with a strong body and can take care of herself. There are cousins ​​without brothers and uncles. My daughter is so lovable. They are all My backer."

"Heh... cough cough..." finally smiled.Whelan poured another glass of water, and his father drank it cooperatively.

"You're right, if you don't get along well, blood relatives will become enemies; if you get along well, strangers will become best friends. Good boy, father doesn't have much time, so I have to tell you something. You don't care if you understand Keep in mind what you don't understand, don't tell others, and think about it slowly in the future." Father said seriously.

Whelan nodded solemnly.

"Our Li family was born in a poor family, and our blood is weak. Your great-grandfather was an orphan back then, and he earned the title after fighting with the great-grandfather for more than ten years. It's a pity that the descendants were unworthy and couldn't keep it. Fortunately, the grandfather was open-minded and never gave the title to the nobleman. High position is the lifeline. Our Li family now only has our family and your uncle's. Uncle is a concubine, and the title and public property have nothing to do with him. When the family was separated, your grandfather did not treat him badly. Our two families It’s also considered harmonious. When my father leaves, the position of patriarch must be taken by them. The money is touching, and my father has to do something for you.” He paused and continued, “I’ve already written After I die, please ask the imperial court to deprive the title of Earl of Xiangcheng and the world position, and all the things bestowed by the emperor will naturally be taken back. Without this big bait, the plan of the uncle's family against you will definitely be five years less Cheng. Your aunt is a sibling of mine, and she loves you very much. She married into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and she is a first-class family. She raised you, and you gave birth to [-]%. In the memorial, I ask your aunt Raising you, this is just a detail, I think you won't be left in trouble. If His Majesty is kind, maybe he will give you a favor, so you will be safe as a child."

Whelan finally couldn't help crying. He is a seriously ill person, and he is only trying to protect his daughter. How can he not make people feel sad.

"Don't cry, remember, my resignation is beneficial to the court and you, but it will also offend some people. You must be more careful in the future and protect yourself." Father lowered his voice, bent his head and whispered in her ear edge warned.Whelan nodded again and again, she understands, she touched someone else's cake.

"In the future, no matter whether they want to adopt me or not, you don't have to worry about it. When a person dies and the lamp goes out, the sacrifice is nothing more than deceiving the living. Except for the property of giving land and house that will be taken back, I will divide the property into two , one of which is for you, and one for the clan to take care of. And your mother’s dowry, I entrusted it to your aunt for supervision, and it will naturally be yours in the future. Don’t have to argue with them about the rest. Don’t worry too much, the reputation of you and your aunt is important. Your grandparent’s home is far away in Guanzhong. Although I sent the letter, I’m afraid it’s too far away to quench my thirst. My grandparent’s family is withered and there is no one left. If I leave again, you and your aunt almost have no natal family, you are close relatives of flesh and blood, you should support and live well!" Her father entrusted her earnestly, and Whelan was so moved that she could only nod her eyes redly, "I respectfully obey your benevolent orders. , father rest assured."

Seeing his father let out a sigh of relief, the red light on his face gradually dissipated, turning into dust, and his whole body was almost softened.Whelan was so frightened that she almost screamed out, not knowing what to do in a hurry.

But my father smiled faintly, "Go back and have breakfast, it's just getting better, don't worry about getting sick again. The calligraphy, painting books and those pens, inks, papers and inkstones that my father collected over the years will be sent to your room later, all for your father Remember to make good use of this nerd's favorite thing, and don't waste it." After he finished speaking, he turned to get a carved wooden box from the bed and handed it to Whelan, "This is a book of the mean, which was my father's teacher in the past. Give it to my son, I hope you will study hard and learn some principles of life when you grow up, so that you will benefit from it for the rest of your life. Go and ask Uncle Li to come in."

Whelan held the wooden box, got up obediently with tears in her eyes, looked at the emaciated and sickly father on the bed smiling lovingly, forced a smile on her face and nodded and went out.She didn't dare to open her mouth for fear that she would cry out loud. Even in modern times, it is unlucky to cry in front of the bed of a seriously ill person, let alone now.
