Next Chapter

Ancient times.

Lush mountains and forests, ancient trees towering to the sky, thousands of trees vying for glory. A horse-drawn carriage drove sharply on the side of the official road carved out between the mountains.

"Miss, sit tight, the minions are going to speed up. Drive! As he spoke, he raised his whip and quickened the speed of the carriage.

Behind the carriage, several fierce men with large knives in their hands rode fast horses in hot pursuit, and by their attire they knew that they were a gang of robbers who did all kinds of evil.

"No, miss, they're coming after you. Yun'er Xue'er, you quickly help Miss get out of the car, take Miss to hide in the mountains, and the slave drives the carriage to lead them away, you try to hide in a deeper place so as not to be discovered by them. The middle-aged man in a green shirt and cloth driving a carriage said to the three girls who were getting off the carriage.

"Dad, be careful." A little girl in a green shirt said to the middle-aged man with red eyes.

"Don't worry, Dad will pick up Miss and you after he lures them away." After saying that, he hurriedly got into the carriage, and the horsewhip was raised sharply, and drove the carriage forward.

"Miss, let's go into the mountains and forests." The little girl in the yellow shirt reminded. The three girls hurried to run into the forest.

As soon as the three girls entered the forest, the robbers behind came to the place where the carriage had just stopped. Looking at the carriage in front of him, which was about to disappear, he couldn't help but hold the horse's reins and sobswear words.

"Big brother, I see that they seem to be separated. What to do? A younger brother beside him stepped forward and said to the bandit leader.

The robber leader looked at the carriage in the distance and then looked at the mountains and forests on his side, "Divide into two roads, some people go to chase the carriage, and the rest follow me into the mountains and forests to search!" ”

As he spoke, they separated and continued to chase in both directions.

"Miss, they seem to be catching up." The girl in the yellow shirt said as she looked behind her, "Miss, you go first, then run a little deeper, find a hidden place to hide, and the two of us will go and lure them away." ”

"No, I can't run away on my own, leave you alone. Together, we will definitely be able to escape. The young lady in the snowshirt looked anxious, her eyes were faintly moist, and she shook her head and grabbed the arms of the two girls tightly, hoping that they would run away with her.

"It's too late, Miss, run quickly, as long as you're okay, the slaves and maids are willing to die, go quickly!" The girl in the green shirt broke the young lady's hand and pushed her forward, then pulled the girl in the yellow shirt and ran in the other direction.

"Evening clouds, late snow!"

At this time, the young lady's tears couldn't help falling anymore, looking at the figures of the two girls running away, there was no choice but to run in the opposite direction to the depths of the mountains and forests.

The dense mountain forest, the branches are luxuriant, the weeds are overgrown, the roots of the trees are intertwined, and the snowshirt worn by the young lady has been dyed with grass juice in different shades of green, and there is a faint bright red between the green, which is the blood stains that the young lady has been strained by the dead vines. She didn't feel the pain of the strain now, and she didn't know where to hide, only to run up the hill, into the depths of the forest.

Suddenly, accidentally, her foot tripped over something, and she fell down with a tilt. However, she was now on a small slope, and this fall didn't matter, but she fell directly down the slope, rolling faster and faster, and there was no way to stop. Underneath the slope is a towering ancient tree with an angular boulder next to it. She rolled down and was stopped by the ancient tree, but due to inertia, she threw herself at the boulder again, and her head just hit the edge of the boulder, and suddenly a pool of blood appeared under her head.

Dense and deep mountain forest, covering the sky and the sun, a girl in white under the leafy ancient trees lay there quietly, motionless, when her body temperature gradually cooled, a layer of mist faintly rose from the deepest part of the mountain forest, and slowly covered the entire mountain forest......

Nowadays.

"Boss, why don't you go back so early today?" Konishi, a hard-working clerk, asked the boss who was putting on a coat and walking out while cleaning up the table where the guests had just finished eating.

"Well, I'm going back to the orphanage today, it's a bit of a problem." The young boss was a young girl who looked twenty-five or sixteen, with a gentle smile on her delicate little face after hearing the clerk's question.

"Oh, don't worry, boss, we will take care of the store, be careful on the road!" Xiao Xi smiled sweetly and said to his boss.

She is the most admired of her own boss, although she is an orphan, but she is a high-achieving student who graduated from a famous university, after graduation, she borrowed a loan to start her own business, opened this private restaurant, and paid off the loan in less than two years, and then expanded the industry, and the store is a family to open! Her boss is not only a good businessman, but also very kind-hearted, all the employees invited by her store are either orphans or some work-study students, in order for them to concentrate on their studies, the boss not only manages to eat and live, usually anyone who has any difficulties as long as she tells her that she will do her best to help, they feel very lucky to follow such a boss, so they are full of confidence every day to work, clean up the store, they believe that as long as they work hard, they will be able to live a good life with the boss!

"Mother Dean, go back quickly, the weather is getting colder, you have to pay more attention to your body." I just sent this month's living expenses to the orphanage where I grew up, and I want to go back, I said to the director who sent me to the door.

The dean's mother is old, and her health is not as good as before, and there are a lot of serious illnesses and small pains, so I think about it, it is better to take the dean's mother to the hospital for a physical examination recently, check the body, and treat it in time if there is any problem!

"Xiao Ran, if you are too busy with work, you don't always have to come over to send money, there are so many philanthropists in the orphanage, you don't have to worry too much. I also save more savings, and I'm not too young, so hurry up and find a good man, and I will rely on him in the future! The kind dean's mother took Qin Xiaoran's hand, patted the back of her hand lightly and said.

"Good!" Xiao Ran still smiled gently, in short, she agreed to everything the dean's mother said, and it was another matter whether she took action or not.

"Mom Dean, I'll go back first, I'll go to the farmer's market later."

"Well, be careful on the road! Wear more clothes lately when it's cold, don't catch a cold. Okay, let's go back! After touching my face as usual, he smiled and waved his hand.

"Yes, good!"

After taking a few steps forward, I turned around and saw that the dean's mother was still standing at the door looking at me, stretched out her hand and waved, signaling her to go back quickly, and then continued to walk towards the bus stop sign in front, just a bus to the farmer's market, I went up, and sat by the window to look at the door of the orphanage, and saw the lonely figure still standing at the door, I didn't know why my heart was suddenly sour, I moved my eyes back, took a deep breath, forced down the sourness, and sat down quietly.

When I came out of the farmer's market, I found that it was just not far from my apartment, and I wanted to walk back.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Miss Qin, I'm the delivery person of the store where you bought the seedlings just now, and I've already gone downstairs to your house!"

It's already here, I didn't expect the service of this store to be so in place, "Ah, I'm sorry, I haven't arrived home yet, you are like this, go to the first floor to find Grandma Li, let her open the basement of my house, you just put things there!" ”

Since I rarely have time at home, and I like to buy some things that I am interested in, I ask Grandma Li, who lives on the first floor, to help me pick up parcels and express delivery every day, so I am already familiar with dealing with this situation!

As soon as I hung up the phone, I looked at the sky in the distance, and there was a dark cloud that seemed to be coming soon, and it should be raining soon. Thinking like this, he stepped up his pace and hurried back.

"Be careful!"

Just as I was about to listen carefully to what the man was shouting, I felt a pain in my head, and before I could react, I was swallowed up by darkness in front of me.

At this time, a light rain began to fall in the sky, and it seemed to mourn the loss of a young life.
