Chapter 2 Wake up

Chapter 2 Wake up

When Qin Hanzhen woke up again, she returned to the original room and lay on the original kang. There was also a woman sobbing in a low voice, but she was not the one who had been before.

The woman looks older, in her thirties, with a small round face, small eyes, and a kind face. She is wearing a brown cloth dress, wearing a black skirt, and her hair is tied into a round bun behind her head, wrapped in a cloth towel of the same color as her clothes, neat and simple.

When she saw Qin Hanzhen awake, she stood up and was extremely excited: "Sister is awake? Amitabha! He has woken up!" Then she rushed to the square table beside the kang to pour water, then helped Qin Hanzhen sit up, hugged her, and picked up a wooden spoon to feed her water: "Sister, be good, I'm drinking water, the wet nurse feeds you, be careful, don't be choked..."

Do you also need to use this tone to coax a six or seven-year-old child?

Qin Hanzhen took a few sips of water and felt her throat finally felt more comfortable. She soon found that she seemed to be able to understand what this woman said. It's so strange. The other party's accent was almost the same as the one before, why did she not understand it before, but now she can understand it?

While wondering, the woman suddenly started to cry: "That's great! The master is right, my sister is really getting better. Before, my sister couldn't even drink saliva and couldn't eat rice, so she could only rely on her big grandma to feed a few mouthfuls of rice soup. A bowl of rice soup, and once it poured it into half a bowl. The doctor said there was nothing he could do, so she could only watch her starve to death... If it weren't for this, my grandma wouldn't be able to think it out..."

Qin Hanzhen froze and asked her in a hoarse voice: "She has hanged, have she been saved?"

The woman didn't notice that Qin Hanzhen's accent was wrong, but she became even more sad. She hugged Qin Hanzhen and cried, "Poor sister, big grandma, the eldest grandma went there like this, the old man was killed again, what should I do if I leave one of my sisters behind? I don't even have a brother. Could it be that I will look at the second wife's face in the future?"

Qin Han felt really sad and slowly became sad. Obviously, the woman could not be saved. It was right. She didn't know how long it took for someone to come over. It took a long time to go, right?

Qin Hanzhen trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but think, if she had thought about the unknown meaning revealed in the woman's words earlier, she would have gone to find the other party earlier...

Or maybe she didn't hesitate because of her weak hands and feet, and if she could climb to the next room faster...

Even if she spoke and made a sound before the woman left, she stopped the other party's actions...

All kinds of thoughts lingered in her mind, and her head hurt again for some reason, and her body trembled even more. The woman soon discovered this and panicked: "Sister? Are you okay? What's wrong with you? Is it a headache?"

The curtain suddenly lifted up, and a teenage girl walked in with pretty facial features and maid dressed up. She looked at Qin Hanzhen's situation and scolded the woman: "Mom Zhang, you're going to die! The master told me that when I woke up, I called someone, but you were just looking after you howl!" After scolding, she threw the curtain out and went out. After a while, there were chaotic footsteps outside.

Qin Hanzhen only felt that everything was shaking in front of her. Zhang Ma, who was holding her, quickly gave up her position. Then the one who hugged her was an old man, a gray-black cloth robe, not the one she had seen before, but the nice rosin on the cloth robe was consistent. She felt that the pain in her mind was much less, giving her the extra energy to look up - it was indeed the old man who was pulled by her sleeve.

The old man's eyes were full of love and worry: "Sister Sang, what's wrong with you? Tell my grandfather."

It turned out that the other party was the grandfather of this body. Qin Hanzhen answered vaguely: "Heart is a headache..."

The old man quickly looked at the kang. A middle-aged man wearing blue silk and a goatee came over, gently pinched Qin Hanzhen's thin and lonely wrist, and took a pulse.

After a while, Goatbeard fell off her schoolbag with the old man, and there were a lot of people. Qin Hanzhen felt that she understood every word, but she felt that she didn't understand a word. Fortunately, after Goatbeard fell off her schoolbag, she finally said something that she could understand: "I have not recovered from my granddaughter's old injury and was frightened again. When I was young, I opened the prescription for peace of mind, and I took two doses first."

The old man nodded politely to him: "It's time for medical officer Zhang."

"You are polite Mr. Qin." Goosebeard bowed and stepped back. An old servant standing by the door respectfully raised the curtain and sent him out.

The old man lowered his head and gently stroked Qin Hanzhen's forehead, comforting her lovingly: "Good child, you have heard what Medical Officer Zhang said. As long as you take the medicine well, you will get better soon, so be obedient, do you know?"

Qin Hanzhen grabbed the old man's sleeve, thought for a while, and asked tentatively: "Where is my mother?"

From Zhang's words, it was not difficult for her to guess that the hanging woman should be the mother of this body, so she tentatively tested this sentence and wanted to find more information.

The old man indeed showed an unbearable look and hugged her tightly: "Good boy, your mother... is going to reunite with your father..." Before he finished speaking, he choked up, "She mistakenly thought you wouldn't be fine, so she would be unable to think about it... Don't blame her. Your parents are now watching you in the sky, so you must be fine so that they will be happy."

Qin Hanzhen was nestled in his arms blankly, thinking that the physical experience was really miserable. At only a few years old, his father lost his mother. Although he had a grandfather, he looked not young. The one who asked her to be wary of her before committing suicide was "Second Aunt"? Zhang's mother also said, "Can you always look at the face of the second wife in the future?"

In this strange time and space, facing such an unfavorable environment, how should she deal with this child's body?

Qin Hanzhen had no choice but to pretend to be melancholy and autistic from that day.

A little girl who just lost her biological mother also saw her own eyes and died. How much stimulation should have been. Even the medical officer said she was frightened, so it was normal to have such a reaction. The people around him did not have any doubts at all, but felt very relieved.

Because Qin Hanzhen is just unwilling to speak, she doesn't care about others, and doesn't scold anyone when she sees them, but she reacts to the outside world, can understand others' words, and can take the initiative to ask for rice porridge, and her face looks much better.

You know, Sang Jie'er, before, was like a living puppet, stupid, unable to speak, and had no reaction to the outside world. She couldn't even drink water herself. In addition, she was seriously injured, had been unconscious for a long time, and was overly hungry. The whole family thought that she couldn't survive for a few days, and it was already a surprise to survive. In contrast, what is it that she is unwilling to speak and not caring about others?

In fact, Qin Hanzhen had no choice. After she came through, she had no memory of her predecessor, and everything around her was unfamiliar to her. Except for her grandfather Mr. Qin, everyone she had seen seemed to speak in dialects. She can understand this dialect now, but she can't speak. She didn't know what her predecessor's usual style was. Now, she used the name of a sick person, and she could still talk a few words vaguely, and she was afraid that someone around would wake up and find that her tone was too far from her original body. Isn't that a mistake?

She had to keep silent for a while, avoid others practicing pronunciation quietly, and wait until she can fully master this dialect and learn the way the ancients spoke, and then talk to others, she will surely be foolproof.

Maybe Qin Han was really in trouble and God couldn't stand it, so not long after she pretended to be an autistic child, luck came.

Grandfather Mr. Qin thought she was too sad for her mother's death and was unwilling to talk to others. She had been bad for her for a long time, so she asked the people around her to enlighten her more and talk to her more. The person who took on such a heavy responsibility was naturally her wet nurse, Ma Zhang. Ma Zhang was with her side all day long, and she was also a woman who likes to talk. As she often talked about many past events, it contained a lot of useful information, allowing Qin Han to quickly grasp the information that was relevant to her.

His original surname is Qin, his nickname is Sang Jie'er, and his name is not yet available, and he is already seven years old this year.

The Qin family is located in Mizhi County, about ten miles away from the county town and is close to the riverside. Therefore, the Qin family servants can often get fresh river fish, cook them into milky white soup, and deliver them to Sang Jie'er.

The Qin family mansion is a cave courtyard built on the loess high slope. The courtyard where Sang Jie'er lives is the upper courtyard, with five main houses, and the grandfather, Mr. Qin and his grandmother. The east and west wings are brick and tile houses, and the east and east wings are Mr. Qin's eldest son's family, namely Sang Jie'er and her parents, and the west wings live with the second son's family, which is what Zhang Ma calls "second house".

The second wife has a son and a daughter. The eldest daughter is nine years old and her son is only three years old.

Sang Jie'er's second uncle works in Datong as a hundred families, and the family is away for many years and rarely comes back. In the early summer of this year, Sang Jie'er's father was killed while stationed in Yulin. Second aunt He and his children rushed back to attend the funeral, but the second uncle has the responsibility and never comes back.

Mr. Qin is a teacher who runs a private school at home and has taken in many students. Although there is a funeral at home, there are still students who stay by his side to serve. According to Zhang Ma, Mr. Qin should be a very famous teacher.

Sang Jie'er's mother, Guan, was a young woman who hanged that day. Her father was also a master. She had a scholar and had a fame and fortune. She lived in the county town. Guan had a brother and a sister. Her elder brother had married and had a son, who was one year older than Sang Jie'er.

After the news of Sang Jie'er's father's death came, Guan was still sad, but he could hold on. At that time, his grandfather, Mr. Qin, was so sad that he almost fainted. His grandmother vomited blood directly and had been ill until now. The family was completely supported by Guan. It was not until He, the second wife, brought his children home that he had a helper.

But He was used to being an official wife in Datong. He was very stylish and out of line with his in-laws' style. He got along well with Guan at first, but later he became more and more disagreeable. In the words of Zhang Ma, it was "the big grandma recognized the second grandma's character." The sister-in-law had a quarrel at the time.

However, what really deteriorated the relationship between sister-in-law was half a month ago. Sang Jie'er and her cousin were playing in the village together. Somehow, she fell off the slope and had a bloody head and was unconscious. The family hired a doctor and finally woke the child up, but found that she had become a fool and could only drink rice soup. In a few days, she lost weight to skin and bones. The doctor said that she could not hold on for a few days.

Guan was unwilling to give up, so she pursued the reason why her daughter fell off the slope. At that time, the only one who was on the slope with Sang Jie'er was the nine-year-old cousin, Zhang Jie'er, except for the second and three-year-old son Zi Ge and the maid Xia He who served him, was the only one who was nine-year-old cousin Zhang Jie'er.

After Sang Jie'er fell off the dirt slope, Xia He hurriedly carried Zi Ge'er down the dirt slope to check. The villagers nearby also rushed over to save people. At the same time, they heard Sang Jie'er whisper, before fainting, "She pushed me."

Although I don’t know who “she” or “he” is, Sang Jie’er said to Xia He and Zi Ge’er, so naturally it’s not the two of them.

Then the only possibility is Sister Zhang, who had been reluctant to go down the dirt slope at that time.
