Chapter 1 Rebirth

　　A burst of heartbreaking cries came from far and near in her ears, and Shaman felt a splitting headache, not knowing where she was for a moment. What had happened, what was wrong with her? 　　She remembered that she had just finished attending the dissertation defense meeting and went to find her boyfriend in a hurry. She ended up finding her boyfriend passionately kissing someone, a girl from their department. 　　The thoughtful boyfriend who usually claimed to love her had cheated on her, and Sha Man was a bit confused for a moment. 　　Then came the girl's long narrative lyric. She then realized that her boyfriend was secretly having an affair with this girl while he was dating her. Now that he was about to graduate, the girl proposed to her boyfriend that the girl's father was a village chief somewhere. The girl vouched to her boyfriend to let the boys follow the girl's hometown as a village official, and then you can rely on the girl's father's accumulated contacts to rocket to the top, become a so-and-so rising star, and then both fame and fortune. 　　The boyfriend agrees, and the two are in the process of turning their adulterous relationship from underground to above ground when Shaman comes running and finds out. 　　"You keep asking me what my dad and brother do," a quickly calmed down Shaman completely ignored the smug girl and just turned to her boyfriend, "I was born over my mom and dad, so I took my mom's last name and used my dad's last name as my first name. You're so concerned about what's going on in that city of my family, you don't need me to tell you, you should know who he is." 　　The boyfriend quickly hid the sudden excitement in his eyes and quickly shook off the girl's hand and walked towards her. 　　"Mamoru, it's a misunderstanding. It's her who has been secretly in love with me and confessed to me just now. I saw that she was pitiful and had a moment of weakness. You should know that I only have you in my heart." 　　The boyfriend walked over to her, tall and handsome, with a bright smile, just like when she fell in love with him. 　　But that was in the past, she had fallen out of love and recognized someone at the same time. 　　"But I don't want you anymore, you ...... were dumped by me." 　　Shaman announced loudly, turning around with panache. Boyfriend, no, by that time it was already an ex-boyfriend, immediately chased over. That girl at this time but to the hair crazy, from the back to pounce over. 　　"You go to hell, I no longer want to be an underground lover." That girl gave a hard push, not to the bitchy guy, but to her. 　　Then she heard the sharp sound of brakes, the gasps of the people around her. The last scene that fell into her eyes was the girl's hideous face, and the cheating ex-boyfriend's face that could be described as a wonderful expression. 　　She had been given a shove by that bitchy third and had gotten into a car accident. Damn bitchy guy, damn mistress, and damn campus speeders. Shaman felt a headache, and the fact that she could feel the pain meant that she wasn't dead. By now, then, she should be in the hospital. Mom and Dad must have rushed over, and her brother, too, must have taken time off work to come over. 　　"It's been three days and three nights, it's long been dead, the oldest four daughter-in-law you hold a corpse crying what crying, don't hurry up to cook to go there, a family of young and old more than a dozen people, can all be hungry." A woman's loud voice said, "the old four you hurry to go to the cart, her milk said, children can not enter the ancestral graves, before the day is not dark, the girl pushed the south mountain side buried. The family big girl to go out, our family Erlang also want to say marriage, don't let you this girl blocked the good luck signs." 　　Shaman suddenly felt herself being held tightly, and drops of hot, wet liquid fell on her face. 　　"Her Second Uncle Mother, my Mang'er is still hot, my Mang'er is not dead yet." 　　"Lao Si you control your daughter-in-law, why so stubborn, people are dead, still hugging what, a moment we still eat not to eat her cooking." With a clang, that loud voice seemed to slam the door and go out. 　　The surrounding cries are getting louder and louder, men's women's and children's. The doctors and nurses at the hospital thought she was dead. Did the doctors and nurses at the hospital think she was dead? Shaman thought, she had to open her eyes quickly and tell her mom and dad that she was still alive. Otherwise, it would be horrible to be carried to the morgue as a dead body. 　　Shaman's fingers moved slightly and slowly opened her eyes. What entered her eyes were unfamiliar faces. 　　The woman holding her, wearing a blue coarse cloth jacket with a large lapel, her hair pulled back at the back of her head with a hair coddle, inserting a silver hairpin, a pair of silver lilacs on her ears, and her eyes swollen like peaches. 　　"Shaman, Shaman can move, Shaman opened her eyes!" 　　The woman hugged Shaman tighter. Shaman was a little out of breath from her hug and coughed sadly. The woman was busy letting go of Shaman, and only then did Shaman look at her surroundings. 　　Earthen kang, reed mats, wooden beams and purlins, a straw roof, and wooden lattice windows glued with window paper. 　　This reminds her, when she was very, very young, she followed her mom to the old house of her grandmother's house in the countryside, which was left behind in the Republic of China. 　　It can't be ...... 　　Thinking of some kind of possibility, Sha Man's eyes widened instantly. 　　"Man'er, look at Mother, Mother is here." The roughly clothed woman waved her hand in front of Sha Man's eyes. 　　Shaman's eyes slowly focused once again. 　　Mother? This woman was her mother, bullying her into losing her memory from the car accident? 　　"Mang'er ......" Three small faces crowded together in front of her eyes. The largest is a girl, but the appearance of twelve or thirteen years old, combing two braids, hair yellow, but the eyebrows are very clear, next to the boy, slightly shorter than the girl, eyebrows and eyes and the girl is very similar, there is a the shortest, tiger-headed little boy, blowing on her face. 　　"Second sister, you say something, in the future I will not grab sugar with you, there are delicious are for you to eat." The little kid said. 　　"I'll go tell my parents that Man'er has woken up, so that they don't have to follow and worry." A man with red eyes stood up from the woman's side and said in a hoarse voice. 　　"Mother said she's going to bury Man'er that." The woman sobbed. 　　"Second sister-in-law speak when there is accuracy, do not believe her, our parents are not that kind of person." The man turned around and went out. 　　Man, the accent of the few people who spoke just now was exactly the accent of her grandma's side of the family. What's going on here, who's kidding her? It couldn't be, she was hurt, her mom, dad and brother wouldn't not come to see her. 　　Shaman bit her bottom lip hard, it hurt. It wasn't a dream, this was real. 　　"No ......" there really was such a thing as traveling back to life, then she was going to wear it back. 　　Shaman wobbly sat up and summoned up enough courage to slam towards the pillar next to her. She was going to wear back while it was still hot. But she overestimated the strength of this body and underestimated the mobility of the adults and children around her. The three children formed a wall of flesh in front of her, and she was again held in the woman's arms. 　　"Mang'er, my poor Mang'er, it's all mother's fault. Don't you seek death, mother is selling her own son, but she will never sell you again." 　　Shaman was confused again amidst the cries of the woman and the child. 　　This family's situation was not too good, but they were dressed neatly, but they wanted to sell their daughter, what was going on? This girl was unwilling to be sold and took her own life? 　　She didn't want such parents. 　　Shaman didn't get what she wanted, she opened her eyes again once more, and realized that she was still on that dirt bed, a few waves of people came to see her, and they all quickly left. Her mind is now completely clear, no longer have the courage to seek death to wear back, and there are some memories belonging to this body slowly came up. 　　This little girl's name is called Man Er, Man is the vine of the melon vine (wan, the fourth sound), only ten years old this year. This family's surname is Lian, and the head of the family is the Lian family's old man, Lian Fang. Lian family old man and old lady Zhou gave birth to many sons and daughters, the last to stand down there are four sons and two daughters. 　　Her father was the fourth son of the Lian family's oldest son, named Lian Shouxin, in his early thirties this year, and her mother, Zhang, was the same age. She is the third oldest, above an older sister, called Lian Zhi Er, this year fourteen years old, an older brother, in the Lian family ranked fifth, this year thirteen years old, she also has a younger brother, only seven years old. 　　Because there is a outside to do the pavilion of Xiucai great uncle, she this countryside little girl also only roughly know, this dynasty with Ming as the number, now is exactly Xihe twenty-one years. The year number was so unfamiliar, it should not be the Daming Dynasty that she had read about in the history books. 　　Most importantly, Lian Man'er's death was closely related to her eldest uncle's family, specifically her eldest cousin. 　　The eldest cousin was sixteen years old this year, and her name was Lian Hua'er. As her name suggests, she is very beautiful, and because she has always followed her parents to live in the town, her every move is very different from the girls in the countryside. Once Lianhua Er went to the county big aunt's home to visit relatives, somehow met the county a rich merchant's son of the Song family. The two fell in love at first sight, and from then on they secretly communicated with each other and made a private marriage. 　　The Song family did not like this marriage, but the Song son is not even flowers do not marry. The old lady of the Song family loves her son, can't stand her son's pestering, but finally agreed to the marriage. The Song family sent someone to make a decision, Lianjia boss family moved back from the town, in the old house over the ceremony. 　　In order to show the solemnity of the Song family, sent the final gift inside, there is a piece of jade pendant, is the Song family's heirloom, said to be worth a lot of money. When the time comes, Lianhua'er will wear this jade pendant to marry into the Song family. 　　The problem lies in the jade pendant. 　　In this village, Lianhua'er was already the best of the best, and with this marriage, she is even more star-studded. Lianhuaer at home, invited a few little sisters to, naturally, to give them a look at the fixed gift to open their eyes, and finally also took out this piece of jade pendant. 　　"This jade pendant is more than enough to buy the city of Jinyang County." Lian Hua'er said to the several little sisters. 　　The little sisters had long been subdued. One of them, in order to show that she had a few insights, said that this jade pendant was meant to be worn on a gold collar. Inside the Song family's customized gift, there was no gold collar. Lianhua'er said that this jade pendant was used to press the corner of the skirt and demonstrated. As a result, her feet tripped and hit the edge of the bed, Lianhua'er's person is fine, but the jade pendant was broken into two pieces. 　　Just down the fixed, smashed people's ancestral jade pendant, this let the Song family know, Lianhua'er still how to enter the door of the Song family. Lianhuaer dumbfounded, good in her mother Gu's much more than her old-fashioned, at that time, cautioned Lianhuaer a few little sister, can not tell the matter, or let them pay for this jade pendant. 　　Then, Gu and Lian Shouren went to the capital city together, and finally found a similar piece of jade in a pawnshop, which could be mixed up. Only, that piece of jade would cost at least five hundred taels of silver. Even if the Lian family sold their house and land, they couldn't come up with that much money. 　　In this way, they hit the head of Lian Man'er, who was only ten years old. 　　Sha Man slowly gathered Lian Man Er's memories, the original world can not return, then we must live well in this world. 　　From now on, she is Lian Man'er. (From here on out, the female lead will be referred to as Lian Man'er.) 　　At this time, Zhang came in from outside with a large bowl. 　　"Man Er, eat something, mother specially asked your milk for white noodles." 　　Lian Man Er scanned the bowl, very ordinary white noodle lumps, less noodles and more soup, with a few green onions and oil stars floating on top of the soup. She was very hungry, this usual, if she was Shaman when she would never eat the food, now very appealing to Lian Man Er's appetite. 　　But Lian Man'er still moved her eyes away, only giving her back to Zhang. Her great-uncle and great-uncle were going to sell her, and her parents had nodded their heads. 　　Zhang of course saw Lian Man'er's resistance to her, and her eyes moistened again. 　　"Man'er, you haven't eaten for three days, eat some, mother put two extra drops of oil in the soup, your milk didn't see it. Usually, isn't this your favorite food, always fussing for mother to make it for you." Zhang sat down beside Lian Man'er, holding Lian Man'er and turning to face herself, "Man'er, mother feeds you." 　　Is it fun to pretend to do this now? To sell her own daughter for the sake of someone else's daughter, she doesn't want such parents. 　　Lian Man Er raised her hand, wanting to knock the bowl of noodle lumps over. But as soon as she looked down, she saw Xiao Qi leaning against the edge of the kang, blinking her eyes and looking at the bowl of noodles. Lian Man Er's raised hand fell back down, only to twist her body again, not looking at Zhang Shi. 　　After Zhang's coaxing for a long time, the noodle lumps had cooled down and the oil stars on top of them had formed lumps, but Lian Man'er clenched her teeth and wouldn't eat. Lian Shouxin and a few children came over to persuade her, but Lian Man'er didn't waver. 　　"I won't eat, starving to death is clean. Eat enough and wait for you guys to sell me again?" Lian Man'er finally opened her mouth. 　　Zhang's tears poured down. 　　"This can't be helped, it's all my fault, how could I be so stupid." 　　"Carry it to the upper room and show it to her grandparents." Lian Shouxin said after a long moment of silence. 　　In order to live well, first of all, you can't be sold. Lian Man'er thought to herself, in this family, it seemed to be Old Master Lian and Old Mrs. Lian who were in charge. Then, in order to not be sold again in the future, it was necessary to make these two people nod their heads. 　　Father and mother can't be relied on, they can only rely on themselves, Lian Man Er secretly clenched her fist.
