Chapter 1: Encounters

In the ninth year of Daqi Zhengping, midsummer.

On the west bank of Lujiazhuang under the fork of the north water tributary, cicadas are singing.

A group of naked and black-painted village children played in the water, and the villagers who enjoyed the shade of the trees on the shore talked about the income from the fields and pointed to the footers who came and went in Jindu not far away.

Lu Lu comfortably took a lotus leaf and covered her face, lying on a smooth stone by the river, just a verdant tree helped her cover most of the sun, and a little light spots leaked down the branches.

Listening to the cicadas singing, the children frolicking, and the cows mooing far away, she felt that her encounter in the third year of Shengyuan was just a nightmare, a real nightmare.

Yes, the moment she jumped into the well, the tengu swallowed the sun, and there was a vision in the sky, and then she opened her eyes again, but it was a thin fourteen-year-old girl.

If it was just that, she wouldn't be so entangled.

What's even more strange is that her body is also stationed in another soul, a soul from the unknown world, and the part that is gradually cowardly and originally belonging to Lu Lu is being invaded by the other party little by little.

She has two memories at the same time.

I actually remember the part about Lu Lu, and I also remember the memory of a person named Cheng Zhu.

"Miss, Miss!" A crisp, shrill voice called out to her.

Lu Lu was still motionless, she knew that this was the voice of serving the girl Chuncao, who was only one year younger than her, but she was like a little adult, staring at her very closely.

"Miss, did you run out of Zhuangzi again?" Chuncao came over, and smiled bitterly and couldn't take away the lotus leaf that covered his face.

Lu Lu squinted, sat up slowly, and said unconcernedly: "What's the matter?" It's much cooler outside. ”

"But you're the eldest lady of the Lu family! Look at you......" under a glance of the spring grass.

Well, the eldest lady also rolled up her trousers, revealing her thin white ankles, and hurriedly helped her smooth them out.

"Miss, if you are not in good clothes, you will be pointed at, and this will be sent back to Yicheng to let the master know that the slave and maid will not survive."

It turned out to be Lu Lu and Cheng Zhu's eldest lady who patted Chuncao's thin shoulder casually and comforted: "It's okay." There's no one here, so I dare to roll up my trousers. ”

"Miss......" Chuncao flattened her mouth.

"How can this village village be as particular as those in the city." Lu Lu stood up, patted his buttocks, put on his shoes and said, "Go back." ”

Chuncao shook her head and sighed.

Look at the clothes of her own young lady, not like a boy but also like a girl's family, this must let the old lady of Yicheng know that she has to pick the skins of the people who serve them.

"Miss......" Chuncao was about to cry.

"Stop." Lu Lu hurriedly raised his hand.

Although it has been less than a month since she wore it here, she can see that as long as Chuncao shows this expression, she will have to start a long story again. is more nagging than her mother Wei, who is following her.

In her previous life, she was used to being independent, she didn't like to cry and didn't like to see women crying and crying at every turn.

Can just crying solve the problem?

"Where's Natsumo?"

"She's going over there looking for you." Chuncao heard her mention another personal ring, and pointed in the opposite direction.

"Oh. Go tell her to go home. ”

"Miss, then you ......"

Lu Lu handed her a reassuring smile: "I'll walk back slowly, you guys hurry up and catch up." ”

This arrangement didn't seem appropriate, Chuncao hesitated, but saw that the eldest lady had already strode away, so she had to chase and advise: "Miss, slow down." ”

"It's okay, you go and find her back."

"Yes, miss."

Before being reborn, Lu Lu was carried into Duan Mansion at the age of fifteen in the name of Chongxi, because he was born in a merchant, although he visited the church, he was not a wife, and he was just a concubine. Who knew that not only did she not see her husband Duan Mian on the wedding night, but even the hall was made by the sister-in-law holding the rooster.

What's even more unfortunate is that Chong Xi didn't succeed, but Old Lady Duan died instead, so she was moved to a remote cold garden and spent five years of silent invisible life, until the war and Chuncao escaped and died tragically.

Thinking of the tragic death of Chuncao's loyal protector and his last death by jumping into the well, Lu Lu's heart ached and his steps stagnated.

Because of the Duan family's posting to marry, knowing that a merchant girl could not sit in the position of the main wife, the Lu family was very rich in marriage, and the girl was equipped with four. Thinking of the other three who gave up their lives in the end, Lu Lu smiled bitterly.

It seems that they can't all blame them for abandoning their master and escaping, at that critical moment, except for the simple girl Chuncao, who would take care of a silent and cowardly master?

Alas! In this life, we must not teach the tragedy to repeat itself.

Lu Lu secretly made up his mind.

Not marrying Duan Fu and avoiding chaos in Jiangnan are the two major goals she will solve.

If she remembers correctly, in a few days, Father Lu in Yicheng will send someone to take her back, not to enjoy the joy of family, but to get married. Pick a family that is most conducive to the interests of the Lu family and marry her.

The Lu family in Yicheng is not as simple and casual as Lujiazhuang, which is far away near the Iron Gate Pass!

Lu Lu turned around the information he had sorted out these days, and picked a small path to return home.

The water is murmuring, and the wildflowers are blooming.

If it weren't for the confirmation that this place belonged to the ancient Qi Kingdom, Cheng Zhu, who was attached to Lu Lu, would simply linger and never want to return.

How blue the sky, how white the clouds, how green the mountains, how green the water.

Air...... Shrugging his nose, the floral vanilla scent, it seems to still smell of cow dung, not very fresh.

Looking up, my eyes fell on the river below the slope.

Hey? In addition to the white swaying water waves, how can there be a patch of red?

Lu Lu is no longer the real timid and fearful Lu Lu.

Curious and cautious, she jumped forward and took a look: the red half was soaked in water and built on the shore, so big.

Seems to be an individual?

Standing a little closer, I saw clearly, it was a man.

Lying on his back, his beard was unshaven, his face was pale and a little swollen. And red is his robe.

Shirt? Lu Lu was shocked.

It's not close to the Iron Gate, but it's not far either. Outside the customs is the sworn enemy of Qi and the border of the country, and the people of the country are extremely vicious and practice martial arts, so they are proper militants.

There are always about 20 cases of harassment of neighboring countries and forcible occupation of border residents every month.

Lu Lu doesn't know anything anymore, and he has heard Zhuangzi mention that the soldiers of Heguo seem to be red armor?

"Humph!" Lu Lu still has a sense of family and country.

So, she rolled up her sleeves and sniffed first.

There is even a hint of breath.

Don't worry. Lu Lu looked at him and was seriously injured, his leg seemed to be bleeding all the time, staining the river red, and there was also a cut on his chest, not to mention a stab wound on his arm.

Anyway, people who are dying have nothing to fear.

She reached out and began to search the upper body of the wounded.

The focus is on silver and gold leaves, and the second is secret documents or something...... None of them!

Then aim at a quaint saber at his waist, not long or short, just for her self-defense.

Neatly took his hand and pulled out the sunlight, the cold light flowed, and the smell was bloody.

"Alright, you can die."

Lu Lu hung up the saber he had collected, raised his foot and kicked at the red-robed wounded.

Motionless!

At a glance, although the lower body is soaked in water, you can still see that the body is tall, slender and sturdy.

"Huo, can't help you half-dead bastard?"

Lu Lu will not forget who is the enemy who forced her to death and Chuncao? It's already civilized to call a bastard.

She kicked hard, but still didn't move.

Considering the time and Chuncao's patience, Lu Lu had no choice but to roll up his sleeves and trouser sleeves high, stand at the edge of the shallow water, and drag the injured man's legs into the water.

"Hmm~" a muffled moan of pain came from his throat.

Lu Lu was caught off guard, let go in fright, and almost fell into the water.
