Chapter 4: Stay Alive
Hua Rou woke up.
The first second in her consciousness was the pain of despair, and this second, she was confused and survived.
She sat up, for the rope had broken, and she was finally no longer powerless to resist.
She pulled out the cloth ball in her mouth, took a big breath of air, the tingling sensation in her throat made her choke and cough, she was dazed and helpless, and subconsciously crawled out of the coffin......
"Ahh In the pile of dead snakes, there were three corpses, one of which was the wizard who still buried her alive!
Frightened, Hua Rou collapsed in the coffin, she didn't understand why the three of them were also dead, but she soon realized that she couldn't stay here.
She trembled, crawled out of the coffin with her hands in a hurry, and fled in a panic with a bloody wound......
Hua Rou ran desperately in the direction of home.
She looked flustered, frightened, short of breath, and staggered on her feet.
In the night, she couldn't see the road under her feet clearly, and she fell one heel after another, but she didn't even dare to cry out in pain, she didn't know if anyone would come out, and sent her back to the grave again indifferently and cruelly.
Fortunately, in the middle of the night, the entire cottage was already closed and no one wandered, and she stumbled through the back door into the small courtyard of her house.
As soon as she closed the door, she couldn't help but vomit on her knees.
Her body was trembling, her heart was beating wildly, and her internal organs were disgusting! She really felt life and death, and even more felt what helplessness was.
"Wow......" couldn't be suppressed, and she burst into tears.
Her father and mother died, she was treated as a demon, buried alive, and bitten by a snake, her body and mind were full of wounds, and those different pains were tearing at her consciousness......
However, at this time, she smelled the choking smell of fireworks, and when she got up and looked up, she saw black smoke billowing in the sky above the front yard......
"Daddy! Mother! Hua Rou didn't care about being afraid, she stood up and rushed to the front yard! The bodies of her parents and relatives are all in the front yard!
As soon as Hua Rou rushed into the front yard, she saw the flames soaring into the sky.
Hua Rou rushed to her father's corpse and dragged his corpse into the house!
Sweat, tears, and blood were dripping, she gritted her teeth, dragged hard, and used all her strength to finally let her father's body and her mother's body lean together.
Hua Rou collapsed in front of her parents' corpses, and at this moment, she didn't know what else she could do.
In the courtyard, tongues of fire are wreaking havoc destroying her home.
Hua Rou stretched out her hands, hugged her parents, and watched silently with tears in her eyes.
She remembered that when she was a child, in this courtyard, her mother was teaching her to use thatch to weave rabbits and fold grasshoppers, while her father was drying herbs on the side, and the family occasionally looked at each other, and they would smile sweetly.
But......
Hua Rou sobbed and lowered her head: there will never be such a joy again......
Hua Rou closed her eyes in resignation, she gave up her escape, she planned to accompany her family like this, but she remembered the events of last night......
She sat on the corner of the bed and sobbed, but her mother took her hand.
"Xiaorou, don't cry, it's better if you got married earlier......
"Mother, what's going on? Why are you letting me marry tomorrow? ”
The mother didn't answer her question, but just squeezed her hand hard: "You listen to Xiaorou, there is a hole at the foot of the south wall in the firewood room in our backyard, where the things and savings that my mother values are placed." ”
She was puzzled, she was confused, why did her mother say this to her?
"If one day, Daddy is not by your side, and you ...... If you are alone, remember to take the contents and leave here, and find a place to live your life away from here...... But you have to remember! No matter what happens, you can't go to Shu in this life! More importantly...... Stay away from a place called Tangmen and live well. ”
Live well.
Live well!
Hua Rou opened his eyes, he looked at his father's corpse, looked at the burning courtyard wall, got up and went to the firewood room.
At the place where her mother confessed, Hua Rou rummaged through a bag, which she quickly opened, and inside were two sets of clothes and a lacquer box.
Flint stone, a bag of iron money, half a beaded hairpin, a dagger, and an embroidered belt.
This......
Hua Rou looked at the contents of the lacquer box a little confused, but she quickly picked up the belt because she felt that it was a little familiar.
After a few breaths, she wrapped everything except her belt around her back, grabbed it and quickly rushed back to the front yard.
In the courtyard, the fire was not small, and she rushed to the corpses of her relatives regardless of it, holding the belt in her hand and comparing it with theirs.
Thick smoke, fire, choking and smoky tears, she endured the comparison, and found that the belts of the four relatives were all exactly the same style and pattern, and the one in her hand, except for the different patterns inside, was exactly the same.
What does that mean? Why are their belts all red droplets, while their mother's is white-flowered vine?
Flying sparks landed on her arm, the burning pain and scorching stench making her realize that she couldn't stay here for long.
Hua Rou quickly got up and rushed back to the hall, at this moment the fire had spread in, and the doors and windows were contaminated by the raging fire.
She rushed to her parents' side, pulled out a dagger from her baggage, cut off a strand of her parents' hair, and put it in the peace blessing bag she was wearing.
"Father, mother, my daughter will definitely find out who killed you and avenge you!"
Hua Rou knelt in front of her father's corpse, kowtowed three times, wiped a handful of tears, turned around and ran out to the back door......
Dad, Mom, I will live well! Certain!
……
Mother's confession gave Hua Rou the desire to survive, she couldn't just die casually, she had to live, only the soul of her father and mother in the sky could rest in peace, and only when she was alive could she find out the truth and avenge her father!
She ran desperately, although she didn't know where to go, but she remembered that her father had said that she would leave this cottage after crossing the Swallow Ridge, and she naturally left this place that regarded her as a demon first.
Crossing mountains and forests, flowing rivers, and crossing mountains and mountains, she did not dare to stop.
When you are hungry and pick wild fruits, when you are thirsty and drink mountain springs, those snake bite wounds are itchy, so you pick herbs and smear them for treatment, and when you are tired, you will find a tree branch to climb up and squint for a while, and when the rain is pouring, you will hide in the cave and pinch the peace blessing bag in a daze.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and a town finally appeared in front of Hua Rou, who had been moving forward.
At this time, in a mansion thousands of miles away, an attendant knelt in front of the bamboo curtain in panic: "Master, something went wrong, Tang Die...... Didn't bring it back. ”
Inside the bamboo curtain, a cloud is hammered on the chessboard.
The attendant took a deep breath nervously and said, "However, King Qi's side has already arranged according to your wishes, and he will definitely be able to succeed." ”
The attendant held his breath and cautiously awaited his master's reaction.
After a while, the master's voice came from inside the bamboo curtain: "If you mess up this, I want your head!" ”
