Chapter 2
"You should go to bed too, Danniu. Mom can take care of it." Ma Hongmei said.
"It's okay, Mom. I will be cleaned up in a while." Ma Danniu tied on an apron and spread a big table on the floor. The knife in her hand had been sharpened long ago. A boar needs to be handled soon after it is killed; otherwise, the meat will not taste good.
She nimbly removed the pigskin in a few strokes and then cut each part into pieces. She kept working without stopping, almost without any pause.
Ma Hongmei felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. Her father was a famous figure in the surrounding area. He had killed Japanese invaders and bandits. He could shoot at whatever he pointed his gun at. He was a famous sharpshooter in the surrounding vilges. Now it is a new society and peace. The old man no longer uses a gun, but he always wanted to pass on his skills. The Ma family had more than 20 boys, but they were all suppressed by one girl. She felt proud and distressed. If a girl is so capable, it will be difficult to find a partner in the future.
Ma Xiaocui didn't have as many thoughts as her mother, and she absolutely worshipped her sister. She held a basin in her hand and helped her sister.
"Hang these strips of meat under the roof. Dayong will take them to the Fourth grandpa ter. This one will be given to the third and sixth grandpas tomorrow." Ma Danniu cut the pork into strips, each weighing five pounds.
"Don't forget to send some to your great-grandfather's house." Ma Hongmei said.
"How can I forget? It's a bit far. Let Dahuang rest for two days, and I'll go there." The girl knew that the great-grandfather her mother was talking about was her biological grandfather.
Her father was married into the family. Her grandpa had three sons and a daughter. The eldest son and the second son died, one fighting the Japanese and the other fighting bandits. There was originally the third son left, but he died while saving the old man of the Song family. When the old man of the Song family saw that the Ma family was going to be extinct because of him, he gave the eighteen-year-old youngest son to the Ma family as a live-in son-in-w.
Grandpa Ma was also a sensible man. At that time, he was still strong, so there was no urgent need of a man to marry into the family. He decided to just raise the child as an adopted son and see if the two children were willing. If not, they could just be brother and sister.
As you guessed. Obviously, the weak schor and the sturdy tiger girl fell in love with each other. The two families had already agreed that the daughter of the Ma family would marry the son of the Song family and live with grandpa Ma. Later, some detour happened, but the son of the Song family, Song Yuncheng, still married into the Ma family. Old man Ma asked his children to call old man Song "grandfather.". The two families got along very well. The only inconvenience was that the two families were a little far away.
After storing the wild boar, Ma Hongmei took the youngest daughter to the backyard, while Ma Danniu went to the west room. The old man had taught the children step by step since they were young and taught them some tricks of hunting with guns. However, although the boys in the family liked to py with guns, they were not very skilled. Only Danniu was not only perceptive but also very skilled. She could learn everything she was taught and apply it to other situations. As the younger generation grew up, the old man did not hide his abilities and taught all his abilities to Danniu, and she has been living in the west room of the old man.
Back to the west room, she brought a basin of hot water and put her feet in it.
"Hiss--" Ma Daniu took a breath; it was a little hot. After trying several times, she finally inserted her feet in, and the heat made her breathe out comfortably.
She closed her eyes and enjoyed the comfort of the moment. She reached out to take off the yellow transparent rubber band from the end of her hair and used her hands to smooth out her long bck hair. Suddenly, her thick, dark hair fell down, shining with a soft light under the dim oil mp.
If she had to say what she was most satisfied with after traveling through time, it would be her beautiful bck hair. Compared with her dry and sparse hair in her previous life, this bck hair was enough for her to star in shampoo commercials.
Unfortunately, there was no shampoo in this northeastern vilge, and it was good enough to have a piece of soap to wash.
That’s right, Ma Danniu is a time traveler. In her previous life, she was just an ordinary person, like most people, born, went to school, and worked. Of course, she left before she had experienced the ordinary people’s marriage and childbirth . Her departure was not ordinary. Her original name was Ma Xiaowen. After graduating from university, she passed the civil service exam and eventually joined the police station as a civilian staff member.
Although she worked at the police station, she rarely dealt with criminals. When she first started working, she was assigned to the Household Registration Section. She was busy for seven or eight days due to the popution census. When the work came to an end, their leader gave them two hours of holiday in advance. On the way home, she encountered a car hitting several elementary school students. She was close to the car and pushed the children out without thinking, but she was hit and flew away. At that time, she flew into the sky and saw a fsh of light in the blue sky, followed by darkness.
When she woke up again, it was still dark. Her body was squeezed out of a small pce, and there were chaotic noises outside. Then a cold air rushed into her mouth and nose. The discomfort from the inside out made her cry uncontrolbly, but the sound that came out was that of a baby. She became a baby and was given a nickname, Daniu (big girl). Although she ter given a real name, Ma Shun, few people called her that.
There are many things to adapt to from an adult to a baby. Newborn babies have poor eyesight, and everything is blurry except light. Their bodies are out of control, and all they can do is think. When she found that her memory had also declined, she became a little anxious and began to recall her previous life while lying in bed every day.
She recalled all the good and bad things. That was her life. Even if it was ordinary, it was of great significance.
This was how she got through the initial uncontrolled infancy period.
When she was a little older, she was carried out of the house more often, and she knew more from the adults' words. She traveled from 2022 to 1947. This world was simir to her previous life, but many pces, people, names, and events were different. Fortunately, she lived in the rural area of ??Northeast China, and many things were far away from her, so she didn't need to worry about them.
It was now 1964, and she had lived here for seventeen years.
Her grandpa, Ma Desheng, was a very capable man in their local area. The old Ma family was the rgest ndlord in the entire Qingshan brigade. Later, the world was in chaos. In order to protect his home, the old man sold a lot of nd and got a lot of guns. He himself was a sharpshooter, and his three sons were also good shooters. Unfortunately, they all died at the gunpoint in the end. The old man sold all his property in order to get revenge.
Because he saved many vilgers during that period, the old man was respected both inside and outside the vilge.
All the property of the old Ma family was sold, and only the Ma family compound was left, which was also very dipidated. However, the old man could still hold a gun and hunt, so the children never went hungry. When the eldest girl was ten years old, the old man went up the mountain and was injured in the leg by a blind bear. Because he came back te, although his wound healed, he was not well enough to go into the mountains again, so he stayed at home to look after the nd and tidy up the fields.
Ma Daniu traveled through time. She lived a life like a salted fish in her previous life. She was not ambitious and had no room to show her talents. She thought that when people grew up, they would be busy with this and that so she should enjoy herself while sshe was still young.
In this way, Ma Da Niu enjoyed herself leisurely every day. She ate well every day. Some fine grains at home were given to her. Every three or five days, her grandfather would bring back prey, or the uncles from the third and sixth grandpa's families would bring some good things from the mountains to satisfy her; anyway, she was too young to do anything. She could bask in the sun in the morning to supplement calcium and take time in the afternoon to recall the memories of her previous life. When she was bored, she would tease her sister, elder and second brother. Life was very happy.
As she grew older, Ma Danniu found that her memory was getting better and better. Perhaps it was because she had been using her brain to recall her past lives since she was a baby, which activated the memory cells in her brain. When she was three years old, she could remember what she had seen and recall it when she needed to.
She once experimented with her father's books. After reading a book once, she would remember the general idea and would not forget it after reading it two times. After several attempts, she found that it was reted to her occasional recollections, which seemed to have improved her memory.
When she was about five years old, a grandson of her third grandpa went missing. She recalled her memories of the day, and those memories that she had never paid attention to emerged from her mind, as if pying a movie, clearly presented. Using this ability, she found the child who had fallen asleep in a tree hole while pying hide-and-seek.
Her brain became stronger and stronger over time, but since her brain gained new abilities at the age of five, she found that her memory was a little out of control. She could remember anything she saw, and the more she remembered, the more confused her brain became.
Gradually, those memories became a burden to her. At that time, she wondered if she would feel better if she didn't look or think about it. Later, she found that this was not the case. The smells she smelled, the sounds she heard, and the touch of her hands were all recorded. Her brain was out of control.
With her memory out of control, her mind was constantly popping up memories of the past, memories of her infancy, knowledge learned in school, and every person she passed by in her previous life. That feeling was driving her crazy, and she can't sleep. The high-intensity use of her brain made her always hungry. She was often in a trance and said things that didn't suit her age.
Her family noticed that something was wrong with her and took her to see a doctor, but there was nothing they could do. Medical research was still very backward in that era, not to mention that she couldn't describe her condition.
It was Sixth Grandpa who came up with an idea and asked her to live in the mountains for a while, away from people, to see if it would work.
For that glimmer of hope, Ma Desheng took her to Daqing Mountain.
