Village after the war fire
October is supposed to be a harvest season, but what enters the eyes in Lao Langtou Village are scars everywhere.
Jun Yu lay on the worn kang, struggling to digest someone else's memories.
Liáng Tiántián is the daughter of Liáng Shǒushān from Lǎo Láng Dòng Village. She is seven years old. Above her, she has two older brothers, one eight years old and one nine years old. Below her, there is a three-year-old younger brother.
Father Liang Shoushan went out for four years and didn't come back, mother took them four originally lived with grandfather and step-grandmother who married in later, last year a serious illness grandfather passed away, only left their mother and grandmother Liang Wangshi living together.
Father never came back after he went out, this time the Turkic army came to raid, grandma took two uncles and their four children hiding in the cellar, but let mother alone deal with those Turkic soldiers who came to rob food.
The mother, who was less than thirty years old, almost got killed by the Turkic soldiers and finally died by her own hand.
And she, Chun Yu Shan Shan, no, should be called Liang Tian Tian now, was pushed by Hou Nai after stepping on Er Shu's foot in the cellar and bumped into the wall of the cellar.
The real Liang Tian Tian has left, and this lonely soul has crossed over into Liang Tian Tian's body.
Jun Yu lay on the kang, feeling as if everything was just a dream.
A sudden commotion outside pulled Liang Tian Tian back from his thoughts into reality.
"Grandma, grandma, my mother is gone, can you buy a coffin board to bury her?" A childish voice cried out.
Liáng Tián Tián remembered this voice, it was big brother Liáng Mǎn Cāng's.
He was called Big Brother, but he was just a nine-year-old boy who had just lost his mother.
Liang Tian felt a bit amused. Having lived for over 20 years without any relatives, suddenly a bunch of little radish heads popped out, and to make matters worse, they were her brothers.
"What coffin board can I buy? Where would I get the money to buy a coffin board for her? The grain at home was all taken away by those damned Turks, and we're barely managing to stay alive ourselves. Who has time to worry about the dead?" A loud voice echoed from the courtyard, and Liang Tian Tian curiously got up, thinking that it sounded like the voice of the old lady-in-waiting.
"Grandma, my mother is dead, can't just leave it like this." The eldest son, Liang Mancang, argued. "If you hadn't let Mother go out to fight against the Turkic soldiers, maybe our whole family would have died. Now that my mother is dead, you still won't buy a coffin for her? When Father comes back, I'll tell him about this."
"Go tell whoever you want to tell." The voice of Liang Wangshi in the courtyard was full of energy, with a tone that was quite domineering. "You little rascal, I'm telling you again, this is my home, if you don't like it, get out! That woman is already dead, why does she still want to drag us living people down?"
"My mother can't just be left like this even if she's dead, whose family doesn't buy a coffin for their deceased? Otherwise, Second Brother Liang Man Tuan's voice rose, also filled with indignation."
"Little rabbit, that's my mother's coffin, what more do you want?" Another male voice, this time a figure flashed into Liang Tian Tian's mind.
It's that Second Uncle Liang Tiechui's.
"You said you wouldn't give it, then what's my mother supposed to do?" Liang Mantou shouted in a hurry.
"Roll up the broken mat and dig a hole to bury it, what else can we do?" Liang Tietou's voice was filled with schadenfreude. "In my opinion, since your mother has been molested by the Turkic soldiers, she should be thrown into the pauper's graveyard, lest she disgraces the door of our Liang family."
"You...". In the yard, nine-year-old Liang Mancang's face turned red with anger, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire. "Your mother was molested by someone, my mother died by her own hand, and there's still a blood hole on her head...... Waaah, mom..." The sound of the boy's aggrieved crying echoed through the yard.
"Big brother, don't cry. Watch me take down this beast." Liang Mantou's voice was filled with grief and indignation. "He dares to scold our mother? Watch me take him down."
A commotion broke out in the courtyard with people and horses toppling over.
"You little scoundrel, what do you think you're doing? You even dare to hit your own uncle! Ungrateful wretch, the world has turned upside down!" Liang Wang's voice was laced with panic.
"Don't you dare mess with me, a life for a life." Liang's voice.
"You little rabbit, dare to take an axe and chop me? Just you wait, I'll beat you to death today!" Liang Tiechui's voice was full of rage.
Liang Tian quietly got out of bed, and the memory of a seven-year-old girl faded away many sorrows from her past life. The memories of two lifetimes intertwined, leaving her somewhat bewildered.
Is it Chun Yu Shan Shan or Liang Tian Tian?
Turning his head, he saw a woman's figure beside him and Liang Tian was startled.
However, a woman in her thirties lay there with a pale complexion but serene expression, as if she had fallen asleep.
Mother?
A warm phrase crept into his mind, and Liang Tian inexplicably felt no more fear.
Gently kneeling beside the woman, Liang Tian Tian quietly looked at the woman's face.
The girl's skin was very fair, not like the usual dark and swarthy complexion of a farmer's family, with delicate and small features, even when her eyes were closed, she exuded a warm and gentle aura.
This is her mother in this life, and just like in her previous life, she looks so gentle.
Alas... A tear fell on the woman's face, and Liang Tian Tian bit her lip tightly. Whether in past life or this life, mother had left so early.
"Mom..." Liang Tian Tian gently touched the woman's cheek.
"Second Uncle, you dare to hit my brother! Just wait till Father comes back and he'll kill you!" Suddenly, the courtyard was filled with Liang Man Cang's panicked voice.
Liang Tian suddenly woke up with a start.
Yes, she is already Liang Tian Tian, can't continue to be sad, there are still three children waiting for her to take care of.
Although she had only been here for a short time, the children in this house made her feel warm, and the memories of Liang Tian Tian from just a few years ago also began to melt the icy heart of her past life.
Since she had become Liang Tian Tian, she decided to take on all the responsibilities of this family.
Wiping away her tears, Liang Tian Tian jumped down from the bed and ran out, completely forgetting that she was just a seven-year-old child.
"Who dares to hit our family members?" Liang Tiantian casually grabbed a fire poker and glared angrily.
Outside, a half-sized boy was holding a bamboo pole and waving it wildly. On the other end of the pole, a thin boy was constantly swinging an axe, but unfortunately, the axe was too short. The bamboo pole kept falling on his body with a loud thud, making him grit his teeth in pain.
Liáng Tián's appearance stunned everyone in the courtyard.
"Little sister, how did you get up?" Liang Mancang was still hugging Liang Tiejun's waist and exerting himself, and he also stared blankly at her.
In the corner, a small figure was shivering with fear and when she saw Liang Tian Tian, she let out a "wa" and burst into tears. "Sister, I'm scared... waaah..." At that moment, Liang Tian Tian's heart melted.
My nose turned sour and tears fell uncontrollably.
"Ball ball well-behaved, sister is here, no one dares to bully you."
