MTL - A Lucky Wife Born Again From a Farm Family

Chapter 2 Wake up

 Gu Jinli's head hurt very much, and his ears were filled with noisy sounds, including the sound of people's voices, rushing footsteps, shouts, curses, and the sound of banging clappers and gongs and drums.

Gu Jinli was confused, how could she still hear voices and think normally after she was dead?

She wanted to open her eyes to see the current situation, but she couldn't. Her mind was like a revolving door, with many memory scenes flashing through her mind, including hers and that of a little girl wearing tattered linen clothes.

 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 meant.

  She was reborn, and after death she was reborn into this little girl.

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

Father Gu Dashan, mother Cui Shi, eldest sister Gu Jinxiu and eldest brother Gu Jinan are twins. They are fourteen years old this year. They have a younger brother Gu Jincheng. The family is on the road to escape from famine.

 Lao Gu's family has four households. Her father is the eldest, and there are two uncles, three uncles and four uncles below.

In addition, there are three aunts, but there is only one biological aunt named Gu Daya. She is the twin of father Gu. She married in Linxian County and did not escape the famine with them.

Mrs. Gu is a widow who married for the second time. The eldest aunt was brought by Mrs. Gu. The sister-in-law is the old daughter of Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu. She is very favored. Now the eldest aunt and the whole family are fleeing the famine with them.

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

 During the three days when she was in coma, it was Gu Daddy and Gu Jinan who carried her all the way. Many victims on the road advised them to throw her away, and Mrs. Gu even cursed them with unpleasant words and mocked their family for dragging a dead person, but Gu Dashan and his son did not listen, and they carried her along no matter how difficult it was... She remembered this kindness. If you live here, you will definitely repay them.

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

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

What you can see are bonfires. Around each bonfire is a group of ragged and skinny victims. Some of them are extremely tired and are already lying on straw mats to rest. Some are eating dry food, and some are chewing dry beans. Some families have no food and can only eat boiled leaves to satisfy their hunger.

Gu Dashan's family didn't even have the boiled leaves, they only chewed them dry. The leaves were obviously bitter and astringent, but they were very satisfied with the food.

The youngest brother Cheng still smiled and said: "Mom and Dad, the leaves tonight are half green and have water." Unlike yesterday, the ones I found were all withered and yellow, they tasted dry and had a smell of dead leaves. The rotten smell.

 Gu Jinli felt sad, opened his mouth and shouted: "Dad... mother... big brother, big sister, little brother."

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

When Cui heard her voice, she was so shocked that she dropped the leaves in her hands to the ground. She looked back and saw Gu Xiaoyu sitting up with her eyes open. She cried and came forward to hug her: "Mother, Xiaoyu, finally woke up."

Gu Dashan was so excited that his hands were shaking, and the little fish finally came to life.

Gu Jincheng was very afraid that the second sister would die. When he saw her waking up, he threw himself on Gu Jinli and cried: "Ugh, 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." , there is no need for Second Sister to find food for Brother Cheng."

The second sister was knocked unconscious by the Niu brothers just to protect the sweet potatoes they bought for him.

"Xiaoyu." Gu Jinxiu's voice was choked with sobs. She had been worried about Gu Xiaoyu for the past three days, fearing that she would not wake up. Gu Jinan was the happiest. The fourteen-year-old boy was so thin from hunger and his face was tanned and peeling, but he smiled happily and asked: "Are you hungry, little fish?"

Gu Jinan glanced at Old Gu's house and saw that everyone in Old Gu's family was already asleep, so he dared to take out a small bag of beans he had secretly hidden and handed them to Gu Xiaoyu: "Eat quickly, these beans were left by my brother for Xiaoyu." , has been buried under the fire and cooked."

　　Everyone is short of water. In the past few days, few people have cooked anything. They only bake and eat it.

After trying to save his life with food but not being able to do so, Gu Jinan learned to be smart and began to take risks to hide food, but not much, and could only hide a little at a time.

Gu Jinli looked at more than 20 soybeans, mung beans and black beans wrapped in a few dead leaves, and then looked at the extremely skinny family members surrounding her. He grabbed the beans, divided a few beans each, and said, "We, Let's eat together." His voice was still dry and hard to speak.

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

On the way out, water was as precious as food. There was only half a tube of water left in the bamboo tube. They dared to take a sip only when they couldn't hold it anymore. They were afraid that the water would run out and the small fish would not be able to survive without water.

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

Gu Dashan and others couldn't resist her, so they had to eat the beans, and everyone drank another sip of water. Gu Jinli then ate the remaining 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 look for water tomorrow. Our family will not run out of water, so you can drink without worry."

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

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

“Dad, I’ll go with you to invite him.” An Ge’er was only fourteen years old, so he, as a father, should come forward to invite the doctor.

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

In the past three days, Dr. Du came every day to give Xiaoyu acupuncture to remove blood stasis. The family only gave him half a bowl of grains on the first night. Now he can only ask for water as a consultation fee.

This was the only water left in the house, and it was related to their lives. Gu Dashan did not hesitate, took the bamboo tube, and took Gu Jinan to ask Doctor Du.

Doctor Du heard that Gu Xiaoyu had woken up and rushed over quickly. He took Gu Xiaoyu's pulse and checked her pupils. He then took off the gray cloth bandaging her wound and checked the wound. He asked her a few questions: "Are you dizzy?" ?Do you have a headache? Is there anything you can’t remember?”

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

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