Chapter 1: Rebirth from the Ashes

June day, baby-faced, said to change. It was still a sunny sky just now, and it suddenly became gloomy.

Suddenly, a bright light streaked across the gloomy sky, "pop-la-la-", and lightning tore through the sky one by one. The deafening thunder of "Boom ---" followed, shaking the entire heaven and earth of Yulin Town.

Then, as if suddenly a crack opened in the sky, bean-sized raindrops poured out of it, crackling and pouring out, and then pouring down like a waterfall. In a short time, the ground became a stream and a ravine.

A bolt of blue lightning pierced the sky, shining through the oiled paper lattice on the equally pale faces of the unconscious mother and daughter on the bed. The little girl's delicate brows frowned, muttered weakly, and slowly opened her eyes.

Where is this? Isn't she dead? Cousin Ke Ling found seven or eight men to spoil her, and just as they were stripped naked and approached her, she overturned the two large baskets of cotton that Xiu Tao had just brought back, and the two fire candles on the platform behind her, connected to the pile of clothes on the ground, and immediately ignited a raging fire.

Her own clothes and hair were also on fire, and she was brandishing a sharp dagger in her hand, and no one of the seven or eight stout men dared to approach her.

She ran as fast as she could, using the fire on her body to set fire to everything she could, the curtains, the curtains, the curtains......

She likes to decorate her house with brightly colored silks, so her bedroom is mostly hung with drapes.

She knew that Ke Ling had the window nailed from the outside and locked the door, and Ke Ling said that he wanted to watch her run around like a slick mouse, but was eventually torn apart by several cats.

She rushed to Ke Ling, who was banging on the door hard, and hugged her, how could Ke Ling, who had just had a miscarriage and was beaten by Li Muhai, earn her? The sharp dagger stabbed into Kling's lower abdomen.

She didn't seem to feel the burning pain in her body. Looking at the men who cried for their father and mother, fled around naked, and banged the doors and windows to shout for help, her eyes were burning and shining, and she smiled: Let the fire burn faster, and the fire will be more ferocious, hahaha.

She remembered that after making sure that Köring was not breathing, she also collapsed.

Is she going to hell now? She subconsciously moved her hands and feet and touched someone beside her? Is it Colling? There was an immediate focus of hatred in her eyes, and she turned her head vigorously......

Mother? How can it be a mother? Can she really reunite with her mother underground? But why did my mother close her eyes and seem to be unconscious?

She anxiously reached out to touch her mother's face, but stared at her hand in surprise and opened her mouth wide, almost not exclaiming. Small, fleshy, and fleshy nests, this is obviously a pair of little girl's hands! The pair of twisted silver bracelets with two beeswax beads embedded in her hand were bought by her father on her sixth birthday, and then, less than a month, her father was gone, and her mother soon collapsed......

Didn't this pair of bracelets be snatched by the second sister of Shangshu Mansion? How did it get back to my wrist?

She hurriedly sat up and looked around, and everything in front of her seemed to come out of a distant memory: the bow and arrow on the wall was a treasure treasured by her father, which was later presented to Murong Shangshu by her eldest uncle, and later Murong Shangshu presented it to the crown prince.

On the lattice of the window hung a piece of oiled paper that had been half blown off by the wind, the oiled paper was freshly pasted by the eldest brother this morning, and it turned out to be black. Thinking of her eldest brother, she burst into tears, the person she was most sorry for was her eldest brother, but her eldest brother still loved her so much, and she was killed because of her.

On a wooden table not far from the window was a windmill made of thin bamboo slices, which the eldest brother had made for his younger brother. The younger brother, her lively and lovely twin brother, not long after going to her uncle's house, contracted a cold and high fever, burned out her brain, and the day before she "returned" to Shangshu Mansion, the younger brother ran to the river alone to play and drowned.

She turned her head sharply and looked at the small cabinet next to the bed, and there was indeed half a bunch of hawthorn fruits on it, which was bought by the eldest brother, and the younger brother was reluctant to finish it, so he kept half of it for her.

"Boom ---" was another loud noise, which woke her up in a daze, she pinched her lotus-like little arm hard, "It hurts to sneer--- it's really painful", she couldn't help but come out.

It's not a dream, she went back fifteen years ago, back to the day when the nightmare began when she was six years old, she is still Xia Shuyao, not some ridiculous Shangshu Mansion eldest lady Murong Yao.

She suddenly pounced on the mother lying beside her: "Mother...... Mother...... Wake up...... Niang ...... "She remembered that she was also awakened by these two consecutive thunders in her last life, and her mother was not dead at that time, until Cuizhu came back, and her mother glared at Cuizhu before she held her breath.

She shook her mother's body vigorously: "Mother...... Wake up...... Mother......"

Donnie Yen, that is, Shu Yao's mother, finally opened her eyes with difficulty: "Yao'er...... Key ......" her trembling fingers landed limply on her collar.

Shu Yao understood that her mother wanted her to take a very small key and hang it in her mother's underwear. In her previous life, she only knew that she cried vigorously, and she didn't listen to what her mother's already weak voice was saying, and it took her mother a long time to pull out the key for her.

Shu Yao's little hand reached into her mother's collar, took out the dark and shiny key, carefully put the red rope hanging the key from her neck, and then put her ear close to her mother's mouth, and struggled to hear her mother's words clearly: "Utility room...... Cellar...... Silver...... Make-up box...... Key ......"

Shu Yao cried: "Mother, did you say that this key is a dowry box, in the cellar?" I'll go to the cellar and fetch it for you. As he spoke, he was about to climb out of bed.

Donnie Yen grabbed Shu Yao's sleeve and gasped for air. Shu Yao didn't dare to move, and gently patted her mother's chest to help her calm down.

After a while, Donnie Yen held back her strength and said vigorously: "Cuizhu...... Don't believe it, listen to your big brother...... Words. As soon as he finished speaking, his head tilted and his eyes closed.

"Mother's ......" Shu Yao cried heartbreakingly, she finally knew what her mother was doing in her previous life, and she stared hard at Cuizhu until she held her breath for a long time, and her eyes were wide open. The mother wanted to hold on until the eldest brother came back, but she didn't expect the eldest brother to be trapped in Langzhong, and he arrived a little later than Cuizhu.

In this life, my mother explained everything, so I closed my eyes with peace of mind.

No, you can't patronize and cry anymore, otherwise your mother's intentions will be in vain. Shu Yao knew that in about two quarters of an hour, the rain was light, and Cuizhu would come back, and then soon, the eldest uncle and aunt would arrive. She had to go to the cellar first to see if the dowry box was hiding silver. She had to find a way to hide first. In her previous life, she didn't know what was in the cellar of the road, nor what was in the road. It was only the next day that the eldest aunt and Cuizhu asked her if she had seen her mother's key, and she gave them the little key.
