In the thirty-sixth year of Zhengyuan, the seventh little princess of Emperor Renzheng came to the world, and a birthday banquet was held in the palace, and the officials of the court and China went to the banquet regardless of the size, and the head of the Cen family should also have brought his wife to go, but at that time, the wife of the Cen family was seriously ill and could not attend, so the head of the Cen family went to the birthday banquet with a side room.

Cen Yufen, the second daughter of the Cen family, is also a concubine, so naturally she wants to stay with her mother to take care of her. But at that time, she was only seven years old, and she was still playful, so she sneaked out of the mansion when the servants at home were not looking.

On the way, she chased the butterfly to the mountain forest, got lost, and tried to find a way out, but it was a wild forest, very few people set foot on it, and there was no road at all.

Although she was a little panicked, Cen Yu was optimistic by nature and felt that she could always find her way home, so she drilled everywhere in the forest, of course, she couldn't drill anything.

She was a little tired from walking, and her stomach began to protest, so she found a piece of grass and a relatively clean and soft place to sit down, took out the pastry she had prepared for herself, and when she was about to open it and prepare to eat, a dark shadow in the distance made her stunned for a moment.

Just a little ahead, there was a dark figure behind the tree, as if staring at her.

"Anyone?" Cen Yufen wasn't sure if it was a man or a beast, so she asked tentatively.

The shadow didn't answer her, just seemed to move slightly.

Cen Yufen handed over the pastry in his hand, "Do you want to eat a little?" ”

The black shadow still didn't answer, and was silent for a long time, just when Cen Yufeng was about to think that he was actually mistaking a stone for a human, the black shadow suddenly rushed towards her, fast like a hungry beast, it pounced on Cen Yufen's side and back, startling her, and the pastries in her hand were scattered all over the ground.

Cen Yufen finally saw the appearance of the black shadow clearly, it was a person, a child who was even smaller than her, very thin, with a disheveled hair, wearing only a tattered shirt, dirty, he was facing away from her, and he couldn't see his face.

"Hiss-" A small but clear voice attracted Cen Yufen's attention, her scalp tingled, it was a snake, brightly colored, it was in front of the child, it raised its head high, hissing and spitting snake letters.

She had always been very afraid of things like insects and snakes, and she couldn't help but feel creepy at the thought of such a "cute" little creature just now, just behind her diagonally.

The snake spat out the snake letter and swam away gently, as if trying to bypass him, but no matter how the snake went around, he would stand in front of the snake, and he also let out a low beastly roar in the face of the threat of the snake spitting the letter.

Cen Yufan realized that the dirty child in front of him was protecting herself and protecting her from being harmed by snakes.

He fought with the snake for a long time, and finally the snake was defeated, put down his head, turned and crawled away, turned into several arcs, and disappeared into the grass.

Forcing the snake away, he didn't look back and left, as if he had only come here to help her get rid of the snake.

"Wait a minute!" Cen Yufen picked up a piece of pastry that didn't fall to the ground and handed it to him, "Do you want to eat pastry?" It's delicious. "With a friendly smile on his face.

The ragged child of "......" stopped, looked back at her, and then at the pastry in her hand, which he had never seen before.

Cen Yu saw him staring at the pastry, so he took two steps forward and sent it directly to him.

He leaned in and sniffed with his nose, licked it tentatively, and then ate the whole pastry, and licked the residue from Cen Yufen's hands. The slightly itchy touch on his hand made Cen Yufen couldn't help laughing, "Why are you as greedy as a puppy~"

They shared the rest of the pastries, and he led Cen Yufan to find a clear spring water to quench his thirst.

They played together again, and she washed the stains from his face, and found that "he" was actually a girl, beautiful and sweet, but the eyes were cold and bloodthirsty, like wild beasts.

Cen Yufen washed her body again, took off her coat to wear for her, and braided two crooked pigtails for her.

She can't speak, she can only understand part of the language, she doesn't have a name, Cen Yufen called her, Ah Ran, and told her that her name is Fen'er, but Ah Ran resolutely called her Ah Fen, and she didn't want to change it.

An hour later, it was already dark, and the servants of the Cen family finally found Cen Yufen in this wild woodland, she was lying on her side on the soft grass and sleeping soundly.

After returning home, Cen Yufan's father and mother were very angry, and when his father heard the news of her disappearance, he withdrew halfway through the birthday banquet and came back, but fortunately, the emperor was also a loving father who loved his daughter, and did not blame much, but his mother was so anxious that her condition worsened, and she coughed up blood several times.

After being reprimanded, her father locked her in the firewood room to reflect, but she was released after not being locked up for long, and her father personally carried her back to the room, cared all the way, and finally coaxed her to sleep before leaving.

Since then, although she will still find time to go to the wild forest every day, go to see Ah Ran, bring her food, clothing, play, and teach her the words and phrases she has learned. But she didn't stay long each time, she remembered the way home, and within half an hour, she would be home and no longer worry her father and mother.

Later, Ah Ran would also wait for her at the place where she came every day, and he would also watch her leave. She had a special friend and she was very happy.

It wasn't until half a year later that her father suddenly locked her mother in a dilapidated house in the middle of the house and beat her mother, at that time she thought it was her fault, thinking that she was secretly out to play and was discovered, and her father would be angry.

So she pleaded for mercy, trying to get her father's forgiveness, but her father, who had always doted on him, kicked her aside and said, "Get out, bastard, I'm not your father." ”

She was driven into a side house with her mother, and she was no longer treated as before. Although the father still came to visit his mother every once in a while, he left angrily each time.

My mother's illness was already serious, and after being driven into the side room, the medicine was still delivered every day at first, but slowly, the medicine was delivered intermittently, and in the end, the medicine was directly gone, and the father did not come to visit my mother again.

For a moment, it was as if you were falling into hell.

She always thought that it was her fault, and she always thought that it was because she became friends with Ah Ran that her father would be angry, and even her mother would be affected.

She begged her father, but her father treated her like a mouse, beating and scolding at every turn, and the favor of the past was like a cloud of smoke and foam, when the wind blew, there was nothing, and it seemed that it had never existed.

There was no medicine, and she wanted to fry it herself, but when she was rummaging in the kitchen, she was caught by the little maid of the lady in the side room, saying that she was stealing.

She was beaten to the board, but fortunately she was not killed, but was saved by her kind aunt, and helped her steal the prescription used by her mother, and gave her a hosta, saying that she could only help her.

She exchanged the hosta for some broken silver, and went to the pharmacy to grab the medicine, but there was a taste of Luo Shengzhu, no matter which pharmacy, there was no such medicine, saying that this medicine was too little, and only occasionally there was a little bit.

After all her pleading, a little healer from a pharmacy finally told him that there might be one in the wild forest in the mountains, and drew her a picture of Rasheng strain.

She stepped into the forest again, where Ah Ran was still waiting for her, sleepy, and I don't know how long she had been waiting.

She didn't want to alarm her, but the moment she got closer, she suddenly woke up, saw her, and pounced happily.

"Ah Fen~" She happily wanted to hug her.

"Don't come here!" Cen Yufen shouted and took a few steps back, "Don't come here......"

Ah Ran was frightened by her, she had never done this to her, and for a while, her eyes were full of confusion and incomprehension, "Ah Fan? ”

"Stop following me, I can't be friends with you." After saying that, she went into the wild forest without looking back, looking for Luo Shengzhu.

She has to find it, her mother is critically ill, she has to find Luo Shengzhu!

Looking around aimlessly, Cen Yufen could feel that Ah Ran had been following her, quietly, and learning what she was pulling from the grass.

After looking for a long time, she still didn't find Luo Shengzhu, it was slowly getting dark, and she had to go back to take care of her mother......

Cen Yufen's body trembled, walked out of the wild forest, and went to the direction of "home".

Ah Ran stood there watching her, and after a long time, when her figure disappeared, Ah Ran walked out of this wild forest for the first time, followed her taste, and found her home.

She lingered at the door for a long time, and finally walked back to the wild forest in a gray way.

On the way, she picked up a drawing, which was the paper Cen Yufeng was holding when she was looking for something in the wild forest, and a grass was drawn on it, which she was very familiar with, and she knew where this grass was.

The next day, when Cen Yufen was about to set off to look for Luo Shengzhu again, he suddenly found that her drawings were missing, and when he was thinking about whether to ask the little doctor in the pharmacy for a copy again, he found a grass pressed with a stone next to the back door, as well as a drawing.

The drawing is the drawing of the Rasheng plant, and the grass, exactly like the one on the drawing, is the Rasheng plant.

There is no one nearby, and the back door of Cen's house is located in a remote and empty area, and there are few pedestrians on weekdays.

Cen Yufeng looked around, but she didn't see anyone, she didn't know who put it here.

But it doesn't matter, with Luo Shengzhu, she can decoct medicine for her mother!

She grabbed Luo Shengzhu tightly and ran to the kitchen, she wanted to make a fire to decoct the medicine, but the cook stopped her and told her that she couldn't touch anything here.

She was kicked out, and there was no choice but to pick up a broken crockpot, wash it, and build a stove out of stones.

Just as she picked up the twig and was wondering how to start a fire, her father appeared. He kicked over everything she had prepared, trampled on the Rasheng plant, and said, "Where did you get this precious medicinal herb?!" Is it stolen! ”

Her rebuttal was useless, she was beaten, beaten by her father, and the medicine did not make a frying.

The next day, Rasson appeared again at the back door, and there was still no one.

Day 3 too, day 4...... Day 5......

Cen Yufen wanted to know who this kind and kind person was, so she waited at the back door one morning, before dawn.

When it was dawn, the sound of sighing sounded, and she rushed out and saw the person who had been giving her Luo Shengzhu.
