Chapter 1: Tragic Girl

The smell of charcoal fire lingered in the cell, and in the charcoal basin, the three pieces of iron were already burned red, and the rising temperature distorted the air.

She watched in horror as the prisoners approached with iron blocks, and across from her, her fiancé was sitting there, cross-legged and drinking tea.

None of this is true, why did things turn out like this, didn't they love each other?

She begged for mercy, and kept begging for mercy.

The fiancé smiled and said to her: As long as you die, I can be king, of course, my princess, your father and queen mother, they also have to die......

The hot iron that can burn people to death burns on the body, and the pain is unbearable.

The screams of pain to death were accompanied by the hearty laughter of the fiancé, piercing the heart over and over again like a knife blade.

She paid her heart and sent him straight to Qingyun without regrets, in exchange for such an end......

"No, don't, don't...... Ah......h

With a scream, Zhang Yanchen opened his eyes violently.

Her eyes were wide open, but she didn't have any hint of light, and she woke up from a nightmare, and she hadn't been able to come back to her senses.

I just feel that my body is so weak that I can't even move my hands, and my heart is so tired.

In the quiet little broken hut, the simple and cold bed, the cold wind kept blowing in on the broken window lattice, and the force seemed to scrape people to death.

There were a few rooster crows faintly outside the window, Zhang Yanchen stretched out his hand to rub his eyes, and got up to put on his shoes and dress.

The shoes were torn, the ten toes were almost exposed, the clothes were in tatters, the patches took up most of the clothes, and there were a few holes that had not been repaired.

The hair like a chicken nest was grabbed back, revealing a yellow-skinned face, and a pair of eyes that I don't know if it was because of the thinness or the original, big and round.

Zhang Yanchen walked out of the door and washed his face with the stream in front of the door to refresh himself.

had a dream of being abused, and Zhang Yechen felt that she was drunk.

Today she still has to finish her work to have food, and there are many things waiting for her, such as washing clothes, sweeping the floor, chopping wood, and feeding the horses......

Resigned to her fate, she could only vaguely see the road in the sky before dawn, she was used to walking, and she didn't feel any difficulty.

After walking for a hundred meters, he stopped in front of a dark door, and someone opened it from the inside after knocking.

The door was opened by an old man, with gray hair and a gray beard, hunched at the waist.

It is Grandpa Hua who is responsible for watching the small back door, and he has shown this small back door to the Li family all his life, he is over sixty years old, and he has no children and no daughters.

Zhang Yanchen greeted with a smile: "Grandpa Hua, it's early." ”

Grandpa Hua took out a steamed bun from his gray sleeve and stuffed it into Zhang Yanchen's hand, and rubbed her chicken nest-like hair lovingly and pityingly: "Ember dust is also early, eat the steamed bun first and then go over." ”

The steamed bun in his hand was cold and hard, and there was no soft fragrance of the steamed bun when he took a bite, Zhang Yanchen didn't eat it quickly, and took a few bites and put it in his arms.

Grandpa Hua looked at it and said, "Why don't you eat it, there is a happy event in the house today, and everyone's food will be added, you don't have to keep it." ”

This child is lonely and helpless, and he is only ten years old!

Zhang Yanchen smiled and said, "Didn't Brother Dog next door be injured by the third lady yesterday, I'll keep it and go back to feed him." ”

It was already dawn, Zhang Yanchen didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly walked to the courtyard.

This is the Li family's backyard, a place where people like them who do odd jobs and hard work work.

The well was already full of clothes from the ladies of the Li family, Zhang Yanchen came early, and there were few people around.

After quickly rubbing his clothes with water, Zhang Yanchen washed quickly, and his hands and feet were neat.

After a while, other handymen came, and there were several girls who were similar to her.

After washing the clothes, we have to go to chop firewood and feed the horses. After feeding the horses, Zhang Yanchen was so tired that he couldn't move.

But she still has to sweep and wipe the floor, wipe the floor, Zhang Yanchen thought, if she can, she hopes that she will not have to work for the rest of her life, lie in bed and sleep a lot every day, and have food to eat when she is hungry, how good it would be.

It's a pity that the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

The back was kicked abruptly, and the force was so great that Zhang Yanchen lay on the ground and broke his forehead.

It hurt so much that she almost burst into tears.

Behind his back, Li Qin looked at Zhang Yanchen who sat up and covered his forehead with disdain, and sneered: "Zhang Yanchen, why aren't you dead yet?" ”

Her eyes were cold: You are not dead yet, how can I die.

The brutal and vicious third lady Li Qin likes to find trouble with her the most, and she has to trouble her once every three days.

Everyone here combs their hair, but the main reason why she has messy hair is because she used to tear it once she saw it, and it made her hair unsightly.

After a few times, she simply stopped combing.

Under the fence, there is no way to do it.

Zhang Yanchen picked up the cloth and bypassed Li Qin to get away from her.

Can't be provoked, can't she still hide?

Li Qin was angry when she saw her like this, this disgusting slut had lived in their house for three years, if it hadn't been for her father saying that she couldn't kill her, she would have been beaten to death with one palm.

"Slut, you stop for me." Li Qin said angrily.

The twelve-year-old is more than half taller than the thin and malnourished Zhang Yanchen, and this drink is full of momentum.

Zhang Yanchen continued to be his own unheard of, Li Qin was angered by her like this, and it was a slap in the past, knocking Zhang Yanchen to the ground.

ordered a few mothers-in-law behind him: "Come here, beat me, beat me hard, kill me and be responsible." ”

Several mothers-in-law were ordered, and it was not the first time they had done this, so they naturally went up to Zhang Yechen on the ground to punch and kick.

Li Qin scolded beside him: "Slut, if it weren't for my father, you would have died a long time ago, who do you think you are, shameless." ”

Zhang Yanchen held his head, motionless, and did not hum.

But there are countless resentments in her heart, and one day, she will let these bullies return her.

After fighting for a while, Li Qin felt relieved, and didn't want to offend his father by beating people to death, so he called a few mothers-in-law to leave arrogantly.

The few people next to him didn't dare to take a breath, nor did they dare to help Zhang Yanchen.

Dongshengzhou respects the strong, and the Li Mansion is a big family in Rongcheng, and I heard that it has a relationship with the royal family, and people who are idle dare not provoke it, let alone these ant-like people.

Zhang Yanchen relaxed her body, waited for the pain in her body to ease, and then slowly got up and continued to do things, it was not that her body was not painful, but she had no leisure to cry out for pain now, so she could only endure it.

It wasn't until he shouted to eat that Zhang Yanchen relaxed and almost fell to the ground.

I took my share and ate half of it, and it was already dark.

There is only one meal a day, and I can just fill half of it, but fortunately, the amount of food today is half more than usual, and I don't know what is happy in the Li Mansion.

She didn't bother to know, but she hoped that such good things would happen more and they would be fed.

Holding the remaining half of the meal to Brother Dog, Zhang Yanchen returned to the broken thatched hut and took a wooden basin to wash his face, and lay down to sleep.

It was very cold in February, and she was injured so much that she couldn't sleep.

Get up and sit on the stone in front of the door and look at the stars in the sky in a daze, the weather in February is not good, it is really good to have stars tonight.

In a month, it should be her birthday.

She is now an orphan, and her father and mother have been killed by thieves.

Father's world friend Uncle Li has taken her in here for three years, and after three years of surviving, Zhang Yanchen is a little numb.

But at least he was alive and not dead.
