Chapter 7: The Nightmare Returns
Back home, Qin's cried again, Gardenia brought hot water, washed her face, and let her drink some hot tea, only then did she calm down a little, and found that her daughter Qin Nuan was still by her side, looking at her worriedly, and hurriedly urging Qin Nuan to rest.
Shi Erlang also muttered loudly that the child can't be tired, and he will drive out of the city early tomorrow morning, so that Qin Nuan can go and rest quickly.
There were too many things that happened on this day, and Qin Nuan was indeed very tired, so he went back to his room to rest as he said.
After freshening up, lying on the bed, Qin Nuan thought that he would have insomnia, but he didn't expect to fall asleep with a pillow!
-
After Qin Nuan opened her eyes, she found that she was still staying in the hospital ward, with white walls, white beds, and white futons, standing by the bed, fluttering lightly without a trace of weight, her body was lying stiffly on the bed, as white as blood, and the nurse in a white coat covered her body from her feet to her head with a white cloth.
Next to the bed were her parents, the two leaned on each other, crying so much, and the seven-year-old little brother, holding her mother's arm and crying so much that her little body twitched, she wanted to comfort them, but she could only float around them silently and without a trace, trying to touch her brother's head, but her hand passed through his head like air......
She's dead! All she could do was float around them in vain!
Later, she thought, it's okay to float like this, she can accompany her parents, she can accompany her little brother, and she can go home, isn't it just that she has no body?
However, it didn't take long for a white whirlpool to suddenly appear around her, and although the whirlpool was small, there was a great attraction that sucked her in!
Qin Nuan was suddenly frightened awake! I didn't expect to dream of the scene when she died in her previous life, in her previous life, she died of heart failure less than a month after her eighteenth birthday!
Although he was frightened to wake up, his head was still dull and chaotic, but he soon fell asleep again in a daze.
Then she woke up again, she struggled to support her body, leaning weakly against the head of the bed, the wooden bed was very old, looking around, all the furniture and utensils in the room were very simple and old, she saw her hands, dry and yellow, crumpled and not at all like the hands of a young woman, a strand of hair hanging down in front of her eyes, dry and sticky, coarse cloth quilt patches stacked patches, hard and dirty, but she just looked indifferently at the dirty quilt, and her chaotic head was thoughtless.
An old woman dressed in a coarse gray dress walked in, sat down in front of the bed and began to chatter, she could not hear a word of what the old woman said, and although she tried very hard to listen, she could only watch the two wrinkled lips turn incessantly, and she did not know why she was so disgusted, but she was full of fear......
In the end, the old woman seemed to have finally become impatient, stood up angrily, directly reached out and ripped open her shirt roughly, and grabbed a white jade ring tied with a red rope from her chest, and was about to untie it! Qin Nuan suddenly became angry, shame and anger overwhelmed fear, and snatched it back! The vicious old woman was so angry that she raised her hand and gave her a slap, scolding "little slut!" and "disobedient ......" or something, scolding and pinching and twisting Qin Nuan's arm and body......
The movement in the house seemed to alarm the people outside the house, a young man ran in, without saying a word, grabbed Qin Nuan's long hair, and dragged her to the ground, the pain of the scalp tearing made her scream, she was thrown to the ground, and before she could breathe, the man kicked her in the stomach, "Little slut!
Qin Nuan lay on the cold ground, shrunk into a ball of pain, her eyes turned black, and the man immediately kicked one kick after another on her already fragile body, Qin Nuan only felt that the internal organs in her body were kicked and scattered, her eyes were black for a while, and the pain was so painful that she didn't even have the strength to convulse, and the hot and thick liquid gushed out of her chest, and then gurgled out of her mouth......
The resentment in her heart also gushed out like gushing blood: she hated, hated her mother for being stupid, hated her stepfather for being vicious, hated the two cheap/slaves in front of her...... It's useless to hate herself! She's only eighteen years old! She used to be a pampered and expensive rich little lady, but now she's going to be ruined and insulted to death by a cheap/slave! She's unwilling, unwilling! She must take revenge!
"Don't kill your son! It's a trouble to get someone's life!" the old woman reached out and grabbed the violent man.
"What are you afraid of! Half-dead broken goods! Annoyed to look at it! Worry-free when you die! If you tell others that she is sick and dead, it will be over! When the noble man gives us money, it is just time to change to a new daughter-in-law! And say that the daughter of the prince and grandson is the useless broken goods!" The man who was pulled away by his mother-in-law said nonchalantly, stretched out his leg and stepped on Qin Nuan again.
Qin Nuan's heart was full of resentment, she fell to the ground, watching the blood in her mouth flow out, spreading and becoming a puddle of blood on the ground, she tried her last bit of strength, held the jade ring on her chest, and slapped it on the green brick ground!
"Bang!" There was a soft sound, and in a pool of blood, the jade ring shattered into three petals!
At the same time, she heard the exclamation of the mother and son, "Ah, how can I explain this to the nobleman!"
"Oops! Oops......"
And Qin Nuan's own consciousness drifted away, and he saw in a trance that the jade ring in the pool of blood turned into a white whirlpool, sucking her in......
-
Qin Nuan had a dream all night, one dream after another, every time she thought she had woken up from the dream, she didn't actually wake up, she just entered the next dream.
Nightmares are like this, they want to wake up but can't wake up, and they keep dreaming one dream after another...... Even if you can't remember the contents of the dream at all, the frightening and uncomfortable feeling is real, and when you wake up, you can't get rid of it.
Qin Nuan hadn't been in a nightmare for eight years.
As for the scene of the previous life, she had never dreamed of it in the past eight years, although when she first came to this world, she was very worried about her parents and younger brother in the previous life, but she still couldn't dream even half a shadow.
But last night I actually relived the experience of dying in the previous life!
After the nightmare of being abused and beaten to death, when she just woke up in this body eight years ago, she did it for two or three days in a row, and every time she was scared to wake up with sweat, and then she saw the Qin family who was guarding the side hugging her with a distressed face, comforting her, and feeding her medicine and water.
However, it was only for those three days, and she never had any more nightmares after that.
Qin Nuan lay on the pillow embroidered with spring flowers and rubbed her stomach, the severe pain of being abused and beaten in the dream seemed to still linger on her body...... Luckily, it's just a dream!
Then she touched out the white jade ring tied with a red rope on her chest, and rubbed it in her palm, although the sky was not yet bright, and the room was very dark, but she had worn this jade ring for eight years or more than eight years, and the appearance of the jade ring had already been engraved in her mind: a delicate white jade ring, white and warm, extremely smooth on one side, but densely engraved with many crooked words on the other, not any kind of font in history she knew, was it some kind of charm? What puzzled her even more was that there were three extremely fine red broken lines on this jade ring!
Well, these three broken lines are what the jade ring in the dream looks like when it is broken into three petals!
Could it be that this jade ring was broken and then renewed on its own? Is this too unbelievable? Is it because of the blood soaking? Or is it because of the resentment of the original owner?
Eight years ago, she also thought about this strange nightmare, thought about this strange jade ring and the three strange red broken lines on the jade ring, and never understood it, the only thing she could guess was that she could come back to life in this body in this world, it should be the magical effect of the jade ring, and it was no wonder that the mother and son forcibly asked for this jade ring.
Thinking of the mother and son in the dream, Qin Nuan's heart jumped suddenly, this time she woke up from the nightmare, she actually remembered the appearance of the mother and son! Eight years ago, every time she woke up, she couldn't remember the appearance of the mother and son, but she remembered that the old woman in the dream seemed to be her mother-in-law, and the man who abused her was her husband!
That vicious old woman feels very familiar, it should be someone she knows, Qin Nuan thought about it, as long as this mother-in-law appears in front of her in the future, she will be able to recognize her!
Thinking of this, Qin Nuan's mind suddenly appeared: Since the old woman really existed here, and the jade ring was also really hung around her neck, then this nightmare was actually what happened to the original owner of this body when he was dying? Because of the powerful resentment of the original owner when he was dying, or because of the soaking of blood, it stimulated a certain wonderful function of this jade ring, and took the soul of Qin Nuan, who died in the twenty-first century, back to the body of the young Qin Nuan in this medieval time and space? Or was this Qin Nuan originally the previous life of that Qin Nuan?
If this is the case, then she must do her best to avoid her future tragedy, and she must not die so miserably, let alone die so shortly, and die again at the age of eighteen!
