In the dimness, a bolt of lightning struck in the air. Each fork is shiny to the extreme, taking on a subtle purple hue. The shape is like the lines in the palm of the hand, and the tiny branches peek out from the long, destined line, chaotic and unpredictable.

The heavy rain that had been suffocating for a long time finally poured down in response to the thunder, and Qin's face became even more sad in the wind, thunder and lightning rain: "My daughter, she has died a long time ago......" Her tears fell on the placket of her black blue clothes, and a dark cloud was blurred. "You...... I picked it up ......."

The thunder roared, and Ji Erlan couldn't believe his ears, and stood in front of the Qin clan in a daze. She has lived two lives as the daughter of the Ji family, suffered a lot in the previous life, and the future of this life is uncertain, and now the Qin family suddenly told her that she picked it up? "How could it be ......?"

She couldn't tell what her emotions were, it was all too unexpected.

"Back then, when I gave birth to my daughter, Lang Zhong said that she had congenital deficiency and couldn't live long at all, I didn't believe it, so I took her to the Nuluo Nunnery alone to pray for blessings, so that God could help me keep this little life. Unfortunately, I couldn't get my wish, and she died after all. ”

Qin's voice was soft and soft, as if he was speaking to a delicate and fragile girl/baby. "It was raining so hard that day, and her little body was so lifeless, and I was so sad that I couldn't do anything. I sat with her in my arms all night until her body was stiff and cold......"

Ji Erlan took a deep breath and asked softly, "Then what?" ”

"Then I remembered that someone had said that if you often listen to the Buddha's words in front of the Buddha, you will be able to cultivate good fortune in the next life, and your life will be safe and smooth, so I hid her in the early hours of the morning and secretly buried her in the plum grove behind the nunnery." Qin Shi raised her eyes to look at Ji Erlan, there were tears in her eyes, and after a while, she said, "At that moment, I suddenly heard the baby's cry. Not far away, I saw you in your swaddling clothes......"

There was a storm in Ji Erlan's heart, and she didn't know how to describe her feelings. She had a lot of questions she wanted to ask, but she didn't know where to start. After a moment's pause, she suddenly remembered the hairpin. "A-Niang has always said that the lotus hairpin is closely related to me, is it related to my life experience?"

Qin nodded: "That hairpin is in your swaddling clothes, it must be a token or thought left for you by someone...... she paused and said: "At that time, I had just lost my child, and I couldn't bear to see you abandoned at such a young age...... But if I take you back to the Ji family, with the temperament of your father and your grandmother, I will definitely not agree to raise an irrelevant child, so I hide the truth and only say that my daughter is cured......"

"Isn't there anyone who doubts?"

Qin Shi shook his head lightly: "No, because you were drenched in the rain that day, and you had a few days of heat, and you looked wilted." The people in the nunnery would not have walked in carefully to see my child, so they did not suspect it. After that, I lived in the nunnery for another three months, and the child grew up fast, and after returning to the Ji family, your father only asked about the child's condition, and he didn't have any doubts at all. ”

Qin's words were filled with a deep sense of guilt: "It was my thought that made you replace my daughter and live in the Ji family, and you have suffered so many grievances with me since you were a child...... It's because I can't stand you...... I sometimes think that if I had left you in the nunnery or sent you to someone else's house, maybe you would have had a good life. ”

Originally, Ji Erlan's thoughts were chaotic, but after listening to Qin's voice of self-blame, she suddenly became clear. What if she is not the daughter of the Ji family, the Qin family treats her as her own and also pays her due affection. Moreover, the suffering in her previous life was not caused by the Qin family, but because she herself did not know people and was repeatedly murdered by wicked people.

Now, she has returned from rebirth, and her life experience is not so important.

There were some things she had already decided to do, and some things she had already put on her list of mortal deaths.

Maybe when the dust settles and she is bored, she will find out who she really is, but this is by no means the most important thing in her life.

"Auntie, you don't have to blame yourself. On the contrary, Erlan should be grateful to you. Even if you are not my biological mother, you treat me as your own daughter, from childhood to adulthood, you have not to pay me as much as my eldest brother and brother Rong. She grabbed Qin's slightly trembling hands and said, "Ah Niang, my life experience is not important to me, in the future, we will still be the same as before, we are a family, you will always be Erlan's Ah Niang, no one can change it." ”

Qin's jaw trembled, tears fell down in strings, and she hugged Ji Erlan's eyes in her arms: "Erlan...... Don't you blame A-Niang? But if your father knows about it, and someone is making trouble, the Ji family may not be able to tolerate you anymore, you ...... What to do? ”

Although the concubine of the Ji family is not an incomparably noble status, she is the cornerstone of Ji Erlan's steady climb. If she loses this identity at this time, she will be completely helpless in the world, becoming an orphan girl who no one cares about, even if she has martial arts, she is not invincible in the world. There are people outside the people, and there are mountains outside the mountains, not to mention that two fists are difficult to beat four hands. "A-Niang, don't worry, I won't let this happen. Those with bad intentions will pay the price they deserve. Mother from now on, just do the same as before, when nothing happens, and leave the rest to me......"

Halfway through Ji Erlan's words, he suddenly looked up at the top of his head. There seemed to be some discordant subtle sound in the sound of rain hitting the tiles. She quickly rushed out of the room, climbed up the roof along the pillars, and saw a masked man in black moving a tile back into place.

"What people!"

The man in black was extremely sophisticated, he didn't pay attention to Ji Erlan's questioning, and jumped without even looking back, trying to escape! A dangerous glint flashed in Ji Erlan's eyes, and he really said whatever he wanted. If her background is revealed, many of the things she is about to do will be stumped and unable to perform!

Ji Erlan didn't care about the Qin clan who was looking at him, and flew after him.

The masked man did a good job and was not affected in the heavy rain at all, Ji Erlan was surprised in her heart, who was it that ordered such a master to peep at her when she had not yet shown her edge?

The sky was low, and the night had not yet come, but the surroundings were already extremely dark, but fortunately, the purple thunder flashes in the air lit up the surroundings from time to time, allowing Ji Erlan to see the masked man's escape route.

The masked man didn't seem to expect that the other party's skills were not weaker than him at all, and he wanted to look back in surprise to see who the person chasing was, but the moment he turned around, Ji Erlan sneered, and the fan bone that had already been drawn out in his hand flashed with a cold cold light and shot out quickly.

The masked man's complexion changed, and the bone knife was extremely ferocious, and the strength of the wind and rain did not decrease at all. His mind raced, but he realized that he couldn't avoid the blow completely without incident.

The bone knife struck out in a zigzag shape, locking on almost all the space he could dodge!

The masked man was shocked, but his years of experience in fighting made him make a decision in an instant, he turned around and rolled to avoid the vital point, and a bone knife stabbed through his shoulder blade with a slicing force! The pain struck, and he didn't care about anything else, and desperately ran into the woods. At the same time, he took out the whistle in his arms and blew it.

The low whistle was not very loud, but it was heard far away in the cacophony.

Ji Erlan frowned, she had to kill the masked man in one fell swoop before he could attract his companions! Otherwise, endless troubles await her. Thinking of this, she lifted the strength of her feet and sharply accelerated her figure.

After all, the masked man was wounded, and he had no time to pull out the bone knife, and he was already weak under the rapid loss of blood. However, after a cup of tea, he was stopped by Ji Erlan with a knife. She tore off the other party's face cover, and a blank face appeared in front of her. Ji Erlan frowned. She hadn't seen this man. "Who the hell are you? Why do you want to inquire about me? ”

The masked man's eyes flickered but he didn't say a word.

Ji Erlan was about to give him a taste of bitterness, but there was a sound of rustling around him. She spun around and imprisoned the masked man in her arms, holding a bone knife against his neck. At the same time, a number of black-clothed people had appeared in the woods, surrounding her.

One of them took a few steps, and a pair of cold phoenix eyes looked straight at Ji Erlan.

Ji Erlan looked at this person suspiciously, although this person was tall, he had a soft body, and he was obviously a woman. Moreover, the hostility faintly revealed by the other party made her feel inexplicably familiar. She stared at the only eye that was the only one that was exposed, and that look...... Could it be her?

Yan Lingtian.

Ji Erlan suddenly understood what this inexplicable snooping was for. In her previous life, she had more than one confrontation with Yan Lingtian, which made her understand the other party's temperament very well, and Yan Lingtian was definitely a person who would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one.

At that time, they fought because of the dispute between the Yan family, but this time, was it because of King Du?

Ji Erlan was surrounded by everyone, looking at the dozen or so black-clothed people around, and guessing from the skills of this black-clothed man, how could she escape? I kept thinking about it in my heart, but I didn't show it at all in front of me, but I seemed to be smiling instead of smiling, and asked, "Where is the demon?" ”

Yan Ling's eyes narrowed, but he was indifferent to Ji Erlan's ridicule, and his gaze moved to the man in black under Ji Erlan's knife. Since Ji Erlan can pursue this place and try to kill people, then she must have revealed some secret, if she can use this secret to restrain Ji Erlan, of course she will not take the risk to kill the daughter of a court official.

However, just when the black-clothed man opened his mouth to say the word 'she', Ji Erlan smiled evilly, and the bone knife pierced his throat mercilessly, blood gushed out, and the heat splashed onto Ji Erlan's hand, and was instantly washed away by the rain. How could she let Yan Lingtian grab her handle so early!

Yan Ling's eyes seemed to be shattered, and the coldness was close to people's hearts. She gritted her teeth and said word by word: "It seems...... You are bent on dying! ”
