Rebirth of the little landlady

Chapter 290 The Unforgettable Past
Yuan Bao returned to the seat in front of the window, staring at the "squeaking" river not far away in a daze.

What's in that place?Your own parents?No, it should be only the father, and the mother is the stepmother.Where do they live?Since you can find it by walking along the river, it must be not far away. Unexpectedly, their house is nearby!

In the confusion of thoughts, the carriage stopped unexpectedly, and Ni Yuze said, "Since we are walking along the river, it is more convenient to take a boat." However, the river was too narrow just now, so it took almost two hours to travel in the carriage Fang changed to take a boat.

Yuan Bao was silent. After such a long time, she felt that her mentality had stabilized. Finding her parents was neither good nor bad for her. She planned to accept it calmly, especially since Ni Yuze was still involved What is required must have its feasibility.

However, some things are not as easy as Yuan Bao thought.

After getting off the carriage, Yuan Bao moved his body and looked at the boat parked in the water. On the surface, it seemed that it was just an ordinary black-covered boat, about ten meters long and five or six meters wide. It seems that there should be a relatively spacious cabin in the middle, and the whole boat can accommodate about 30 to [-] people. Such a boat can be said to be a lot of mid-sized docks in the inland.

But since this boat was prepared by Ni Yuze, there must be something special about it, for example, it must be very strong, there is no problem with its safety, the interior must also be well decorated, and its comfort is absolutely second to none... Yuan Bao has no clue Thinking about it, her heart was once again in chaos. At this time, she still didn't know why she was thinking about these things.

Although the boat was not big, it was parked quite far from the shore. It was really a small river, or more precisely, a river fork. Barely a place to board the ship.

The boat is parked far away, and the steps are relatively long. Except for the servants, Ni Yuze took the lead on the gangplank. His steps are steady and quick. As a descendant of the Yu family who started shipping, this boat looks like a grasshopper in his eyes. , he took a few steps forward, then turned around, looked at Yuan Bao with concern and said, "Be careful."

But at this moment, there was a sudden change. Yuan Bao, who was walking behind Ni Yuze, let out a scream before his raised foot landed on the pedal. The voice was hysterically sharp and continuous, "ah! ——Ah——” The voice stimulated everyone’s eardrums like an awl, and pierced into Su Chunsheng’s heart like an awl.

Yuan Bao screamed and ran back, her body swayed violently as if she was drunk, as if she was about to fall in the next step, and she couldn't control her body at all, she simply rushed back desperately, as if stopping at The ship in front of her was not an ordinary ship, but a giant beast that devoured people.

Fortunately, Su Chunsheng, who was closely behind Yuan Bao, reacted very quickly, and hugged Yuan Bao, making her completely off the ground. , "Yuanbao, don't be afraid, we are not afraid anymore, no one can hurt you, I will save you, I saved you the first time, I can save you the second time, I am here, I have always been here, we will not go back It's..."

Even so, Yuan Bao's screams could not be stopped, she curled up in Su Chunsheng's arms, trembling like a leaf about to be blown off by the strong wind.

It turned out that some injuries were so serious, it was deeply engraved in Yuan Bao's soul, it seemed to have been forgotten, but it never disappeared!

It turned out that some fear had already penetrated deep into the marrow of the bone marrow. It formed a knot in the heart over time. It didn't show up on weekdays, but it showed a ferocious face at critical moments. This was Yuan Bao's secret, and it was a huge wound in Yuan Bao's soul. In an instant, it will be dripping with blood.

At that time, Yuan Bao was lonely and helpless, and didn't know the existence of supernatural powers at all. She really had no support at all. Even though she was the soul of an adult, who would not collapse when she experienced two consecutive moments of life and death? !
Before transmigrating, she experienced years of struggle and the pain of losing her loved ones in succession. She faced the coming of death alone in severe pain. It was the desolation of being abandoned by the whole world. Can't describe.

After transmigrating, she was tortured to the point of death in a different world she knew nothing about, and faced an inescapable fate before she realized it. She witnessed the murder scene alone in the dark, and then Abandoned mercilessly as a sacrificial pawn!
Such helplessness, such helplessness, she has no strength to resist at all, and living has become her greatest luxury!

Her obsession with money actually stemmed from all kinds of anxiety, but it was just a little excessive action that made her face life and death crisis again!

Some people may think that she is cowardly, but if it is another person, how can she not be frightened to the point of being frightened by the continuous blows? !
In this regard, Yuan Bao can only escape, she deliberately does not think about it, and deliberately forgets this experience, it is really a self-protection method adopted under unavoidable circumstances!
Just like she just saw the ship that was eight or nine points similar to that day, but she still stubbornly refused to associate or recall, but comforted herself with many, many random thoughts—until she could no longer Ignoring this memory broke through the limit of her psychological endurance and exploded!
Ni Yuze was stunned on the spot. For a moment, he didn't understand what happened. He couldn't even let his doubtful gaze leave the springboard that Yuan Bao was about to step on, as if it was not a wide springboard, but A poisonous snake.

You must know that although Yuan Bao is young, her mentality is extremely mature and stable. Not to mention, after arriving in the Ni Mansion in southern Ning, she faced the conspiracy and tricks of the Ni Mansion several times. Rescuing Ni Junfei and Ni Yuze, Ni Yuze saw every performance in his eyes and kept it in his heart, and it became a symbol of bravery and wisdom. How had he ever seen Yuan Bao so panicked? !
Of course Ni Yuze didn't understand. There is a fundamental difference between weak and ordinary people passively facing the crisis of life and death without being prepared, and taking the initiative to bear it selectively. To put it bluntly, it is mentally prepared and unprepared The difference between the two, the damage to the soul will naturally be as close as a thousand miles.

Yuan Bao's screaming finally stopped, leaving only Su Chunsheng's neurotic and chaotic murmurs. To be honest, Su Chunsheng didn't know if such a method would work, but what else could he do now?

Yuan Bao hugged Su Chunsheng's waist tightly, as if drawing strength, even she herself didn't expect that she would have such an outrageous behavior, it was completely uncontrollable, after she calmed down a little, she felt very shame.

Ni Yuze approached step by step. His steps were very slow and light. He recalled many details that were usually ignored in his mind. She has never been on a boat, not even the boat in the lotus pond in Ni Mansion and Hou Mansion. When playing around with Ni Junfei, she will find reasons to avoid it. And comfortable, but she must take a carriage...

At this time, Ni Yuze was extremely remorseful, he was wrong, he thought he was careful enough with Yuanbao and knew enough, but he didn't expect that there would be a mistake that annoyed him so much, he should investigate more in detail!And now he must know what happened on the boat!
In fact, even if Ni Yuze fully understands it, he may not be able to guess Yuanbao's current performance. After all, it is very difficult to empathize with him. Besides, Yuanbao's experience is so complicated, it is the accumulation of two lifetimes. .

Yuan Bao finally raised his head, stretched out his hand and gently covered Su Chunsheng's mouth that was still opening and closing, "Okay, Chunsheng, I'm sorry, I scared you!"

Su Chunsheng's voice stopped, but his gaze was still glued to Yuan Bao's pale face, full of worry and tension, and extremely distressed. Yuan Bao once told him about the situation at that time, but he did not expect that He felt very guilty for such a thing to happen. If he had known Yuan Bao's reaction was so strong, he should have stopped it desperately. But as for him, he only thought about the threat to his marriage with Yuan Bao.

Yuan Bao raised his hand, and gently wiped the sweat off Su Chunsheng's forehead, very embarrassed, "Put me down, I'm fine."

Su Chunsheng stubbornly hugged Yuan Bao even tighter, which made Yuan Bao couldn't help but burst out laughing, and some blood returned to his face.

Ni Yuze's voice sounded not too far away, "Get in the car, the wind is strong by the river." He still kept a distance from Yuan Bao, and at the moment when Su Chunsheng picked up Yuan Bao and hurried back, Ni Yuze suddenly felt that Yuan Bao There seems to be an unknown connection with Su Chunsheng. This connection is so close that it has reached the level of a world of its own. The state of connected fate cannot be broken by any force!
Su Chunsheng didn't speak, and walked towards the carriage step by step with Yuan Bao in his arms, but when he got close to the carriage, Yuan Bao suddenly said, "No, let's... get on the boat!"

Su Chunsheng's eyes widened suddenly, and even Ni Yuze was stunned.

Yuan Bao explained with a wry smile, "I've thought about it, I can't be like this forever, don't tell me I won't take a boat all my life?" His tone turned into grief and anger unconsciously, "What did I do wrong? Ni Yuze said That's right, what am I afraid of?! I'm different now, and they should be the ones I should be afraid of!"

In other words, the clay figurine still has three parts of earthy nature. In the past, Yuan Bao didn't want to take revenge, it was because she didn't have this ability, and she was more afraid of bringing the Su family who rescued her into trouble, so she could only dodge. After all, the purpose of revenge is not to die, and she is more I don't want to be separated from the Su family!

Now that she has this opportunity, she also wants to completely get rid of her inner demons. I have to say that whether it is the result of her own hard work or the wholehearted love of Ni Yuze and Su Chunsheng, she has given Yuan Bao such confidence and let her Finally have the courage to face everything back then!

Su Chunsheng looked at Yuan Bao seriously, and found that Yuan Bao's expression was very firm, so he turned his probing eyes to Ni Yuze again, but Ni Yuze didn't say anything. In fact, it wasn't until then that Ni Yuze felt that Yuan Bao was still the Yuan Bao he knew.

Su Chunsheng walked towards the shore step by step with Yuanbao in his arms, and stepped onto the diving board step by step. He walked slowly and steadily, and was ready to retreat at any time when Yuanbao happened to be abnormal again. However, no, despite Yuanbao's When he first boarded the boat, his complexion became pale again, but after entering the cabin, he recovered a lot.

Just as Yuan Bao estimated, the decoration in the cabin is simple and comfortable with low-key luxury, every arrangement and every utensil is elegant and expensive, and there are Ni Yuze's habits and traces everywhere, which are similar to the ones that Yuan Bao rode in back then. That ship was simply a world apart.

It was past noon, and the servants served lunch, and naturally everyone lost their appetite, Yuan Bao reluctantly ate half a bowl of porridge, but couldn't eat any more, but drank a whole pot of hot tea.

After the meal, Yuan Bao slowly walked out of the cabin and walked to the stern. Because they were going up against the current, and there were no sails, they all relied on manual punting, so they didn't go far for half an hour. Still in that small river fork.

Yuan Bao was not in a hurry, she simply sat down at the end of the bed, watching the river in silence.

Ni Yuze and Su Chunsheng didn't bother her, they just asked the servants to bring hot tea, put a thick cloak on her, and put a warm cage in her arms.

When the setting sun hung over the nearby treetops, their boat finally came to the place where several river forks meet. In fact, this is not the first time such a place has appeared, but when they arrived here, the current in the south suddenly increased. The imposing manner of the big river, I think this is not an unknown river.

Yuan Bao stood up, feeling some numbness in her legs, she moved a little and asked, "What is this place?"

Ni Yuze, who had been sitting behind Yuanbao, immediately said, "This river is called Lian Shui, and it got its name from the many forks. However, our current location is just one of the many tributaries at the end of Lian Shui."

Yuan Bao nodded. Their boat has come here. Back then, the boat was much smaller and dilapidated, so it was almost enough to get here. She walked to the bow and said to the servant at the helm, "Find a Stop in the middle of the river where there are no people within a ten-mile radius." She remembered that was what the boatman said back then.

Ni Yuze and Su Chunsheng were taken aback, and looked at each other. They didn't expect that Yuan Bao remembered it so clearly!To be honest, Ni Yuze chose such a boat that looked similar to that of the past because he was afraid that Yuan Bao would not remember what happened back then, and hoped that he could use this scene to remind Yuan Bao of something.

Thinking about it again, yes, if Yuan Bao didn't remember it very clearly, how could he have such a big reaction when he boarded the boat?But this can also show how strong the injury was to Yuan Bao back then!

After hearing Yuan Bao's words, the servant paused, "Miss Biao, most of the places we have traveled this way are uninhabited, and even now it is suitable for the place Miss Biao is looking for." Flooding, so many places near the river are actually not suitable for farming, and the villages built along the river are also scattered, separated by a long distance from each other.

Yuan Bao nodded, then turned to Ni Yuze and asked, "Then I have nothing to look for, and I'll listen to you next."

Ni Yuze's face showed hesitation, Yuan Bao stepped forward and took Ni Yuze's hand, "It's okay!"

Ni Yuze sighed, Yuan Bao said so, and he has no reason to give up halfway, I hope that Yuan Bao's surprise when he sees his old friend will make him feel less guilty, but he doesn't know, what awaits them is only "shock" But there is no "hi".

The boat didn't turn around, but under Ni Yuze's arrangement, it no longer went against the current, but went down the current, but it entered another river fork, which had less water than the one when they came. It was much more abundant, but it didn't take long before it became shallower than the Sujia River, and because it was downstream, the boat traveled very fast, and it took almost one-fifth of the time it took to get here, and the boat couldn't leave.

So, the group of people abandoned the boat and went ashore again, and Ni Yuze had already arranged a carriage here.

Before boarding the car, Ni Yuze said in the cabin, "Seven years ago in the spring, a woman was washed here by the river. Because she was naked at that time, it caused a sensation. Even if you ask now, There are also many villagers who clearly remember," he looked at Yuan Bao's face, and found that the latter's expression hadn't changed much. Because of her beauty, she was spotted by a widower, rescued ashore, and asked for medical treatment. She really hoped to get a daughter-in-law for nothing, but she didn't want to. Three days later, this woman who had just recovered disappeared, and she took it with her. He took away two strings of copper coins from the house."

"Because it was only two hundred copper coins, which was not much, the widower didn't sue the officials, but just said bad luck, but was ridiculed by the villagers, saying that he would steal a handful of rice instead of stealing chickens. It didn't take long for the widower I just couldn’t live in the village, so I moved to a nearby village.” Because of this change, Ni Yuze took a lot of effort.

After hearing this, Yuan Bao smiled, but it was a sneer.

Not long after the carriage left, it gradually became dark. The three of them ate something casually in the carriage. Even though the dishes were exquisite, they still had no appetite. Yuan Bao hadn't even eaten the grains of rice, so they just drank tea.

After getting off the boat this time, instead of walking along the river, they headed southwest. They didn't go far and came to a town. Ni Yuze said, "I planned to rest here overnight."

Yuan Bao looked around, she had some impressions of this town, and it wasn't the first time she came here, it seemed to belong to Qing'an County, it's just that because it was two directions from going to Sujia Village, it was relatively far away and there was nothing special about it That's why she just passed by twice but didn't take it seriously.

"Is the place far to go?" Yuan Bao thought for a while and asked, she would rather find the answer directly than hang up and down like this. drum up."
