Chapter 3 – Rebirth
Plague, fire.
Duan Qingming finally stopped asking why.
"Hahaha, hahaha......"
"Duan Yulan, do you believe in retribution? Do you believe in cause and effect? Duan Yulan, if there is an afterlife, I will give back everything you have put on me tenfold - Duan Yulan, my present life is your next life...... I will never forgive! ”
Yes, even if she turns into an evil ghost, even if she sinks into the eighteenth layer of hell forever, she, Duan Qingming, will take revenge.
Duan Qingming hugged the faint child in her arms, and tried to open her eyes, looking at the pair of men and women standing watching the fire outside the narrow crack in the door, and blood slowly burst out from her eyes.
The fire, which came from the window, engulfed the house in an instant......
The fire was like a serpent. The smoke billowed into the sky, and it wasn't long before the little girl's cries and the curses from hell were all drowned in the sea of fire, and everything was silent again.
The fire, wave after wave, burned over. The fire, the smoke choked in the throat, in the eyes, and there was a suffocation that was almost desperate.
The fireworks completely surrounded Duan Qingming. As if in the next second, she was going to be devoured alive. Duan Qingming was anxious, and opened his eyes with strength.
It was dark, and it was the eve of dawn. A cool breeze passed through the window and blew on Duan Qingming's face, and her mind became clearer.
In the room, half-lit candlelight, the whole space looks hazy. Looking out again, I saw a small figure, carefully curled up on the pedal in front of the bed, breathing evenly, as if asleep.
"Water ......"
Duan Qingming made a hoarse voice, her throat was extremely dry, and she just wanted to drink water.
"Miss, you've finally woken up......"
Hearing the people in the tent, he exhaled softly, and Xia Cao'er, who was originally lying on the bed and stepping on a light sleep, suddenly woke up. She opened the tent and looked at it, and met Duan Qingming's confused eyes. Xia Cao'er couldn't take care of it anymore, she stepped forward, hugged Duan Qingming, who still looked ignorant, and cried "wow":
"Miss, you've been asleep for three whole days, you're worried about Xia Cao'er......"
"Okay, Xia Cao'er, Miss has just woken up, and her body is still weak, how can she withstand your toss like this...... Xia Cao'er, you don't have anything light or heavy. ”
In my ears, there was a reprimanding voice, not high, but with a vague majesty. Hearing that voice, Xia Cao'er immediately fell silent, hurriedly let go of Duan Qingming, helped Duan Qingming tidy up her wrinkled clothes, wiped her tears with her hands, stepped back from the bed, and stood up in an orderly manner.
The wind blew the shadow of the lamp, and the already dim light in the room suddenly seemed to be fluttering. As soon as Duan Qingming turned her eyes, she saw Mama Ning with a haggard face.
Mama Ning is Mrs. Ding Rou's nurse, since Mrs. Ding Rou passed away, she has been by Duan Qingming's side, and she has always worked hard!
"Miss, the old slave is here to say goodbye to you, little miss." Mama Ning's old voice implied sorrowful tears. In this dawn daylight, it looks extremely sad. She came to Duan Qingming's bed, put down the pitiful burden in her hand, knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times: "Little Miss, you have to take care of yourself-"
Mama Ning's kowtow was very loud, which shook Duan Qingming's heart, and she suddenly hurt. She hurriedly stopped: "Mama Hugh wants to be like this." ”
It's a dream, right? However, Mama Ning's voice is so clear?
However, under the dim light, Duan Qingming froze defenselessly.
No, it wasn't her hand—tiny arms, half as long as usual, with tender skin and a little pale baby fat.
Looking at her body again, Duan Qingming was even more surprised - she was a full 1.6 meter tall, but at this time she was half shorter...... Duan Qingming subconsciously turned her head and looked at the rhombic glasses at the head of the bed, and in the slightly dim light, she only saw a familiar face.
Duan Qingming was stunned for a moment, and then for a moment—in the not-so-clear prism mirror, a small face the size of a palm was reflected—familiar eyebrows and eyes, with some cowardice and uneasy eyes...... So, but my teenage self?
Duan Qingming's heart jumped wildly, she looked greedily at everything in front of her,
The old furnishings, the dim light, and the white bouquets of flowers that she could see blooming in the wind under the window as soon as she looked up...... How can all this be so familiar, so familiar that you almost want to blurt it out?
Duan Qingming took a deep breath, and just as he was about to say something, he heard a sharp voice at the door: "Mama Ning, weren't you driven away by Madame in the middle of the night last night?" What dog, a daring minion, would dare to keep you here? If I let Madame know, I won't break your legs......"
Listening to that voice, Duan Qingming's heart suddenly tugged together, and her internal organs stinged. She will never forget until she dies, it was Mama Tian's voice, and she was also her nurse, but she personally handed over her child to Duan Yulan's hands, and was strangled to death by Duan Yulan!
Duan Qingming closed her eyes tightly, and Ren Ren's long nails were deeply embedded in her palms, until she pinched out one blood mark after another, and the blood flowed out, she gently breathed a sigh of relief-Mama Tian, okay, really good......
Outside the house, there was a sound of arguing, it turned out to be Duan Qingming's big girl Xia Cao'er, after hearing Mama Tian complain to Mama Ning, she finally couldn't help it: "Mama Ning is Madame's nurse, and she grew up watching Miss." Come and say goodbye to the young lady, what's wrong? It's not like some people, who are still nurses, but they leave their masters alone and run to Aunt Liu and the second lady's house every day......"
Xia Cao'er has long been tired of seeing Mama Tian's ugly minion face. Now, with the support of the young lady, what is she afraid of?
Xia Cao'er made a slap-sized little face, and "spitted" at Mama Tian fiercely: "Anyway, Miss is also awake, the matter is a big deal to get in front of the master, maybe you can find out the thief who stole things——"
Duan Qingming looked at the imposing Xia Cao'er, and her pale face showed a knowing smile. In her previous life, why didn't she find out that Xia Cao'er, who had never been loud, was also so sharp-toothed? It can be seen that this rabbit is forced to be anxious, and it will also bite!
Xia Cao'er turned her head and blessed Duan Qingming. Her little face turned red, she looked at Duan Qingming, and said angrily: "Miss, you have also seen it, this Mama Ning is clearly wronged...... Miss, when you are unconscious, it is black and white, this is at their disposal, and now, Miss is awake, you look at it, what should you do! ”
Mama Tian's eyes were full of slyness, and she quickly weighed it in her heart.
As long as Mama Ning's eye thorn is driven away. In this Ning Shu Garden, isn't she still in charge? At that time, if you want to take care of Xia Cao'er, isn't it a piece of cake?
Mama Tian took a step forward, and that angle just blocked Duan Qingming's sight. Mama Tian shook her face and said to Mama Ning arrogantly: "You have also seen this young lady, and the etiquette is complete, Mama Ning, you should also leave...... Go, go, and if you don't go, I'll tell Madame to go—"
Mama Tian's mouth is fast, and people are faster. She took two steps forward. picked up Mama Ning's little baggage, stuffed it into Mama Ning's arms, stretched out her hand and pulled Mama Ning's clothes, and was about to throw Mama Ning out of the door.
As long as Hengzhu is out of Miss's eyes, does this Mama Ning want to live or die, not all by Madame's words?
"Little Miss, ......"
Mama Ning was pulled by Mama Tian, and glanced back at Duan Qingming again, her old eyes were full of sadness - this time out of the house, I am afraid that I will not be able to see the little lady again in the rest of my life......
"Stop."
An icy voice came from the tent. The voice was not too high, nor was it violent. However, Mama Tian only felt a chill coming out of her heart.
Mama Tian was stunned, she couldn't help but let go of Mama Ning's hand, turned around and came to Duan Qingming's face, bent over, and cried: "Miss, the old slave is also for your good, you know, Mama Ning has made a mistake, she is already an unclean person, and she is no longer worthy of serving Miss You...... This expulsion from the house, Madame is already in your face...... If you protect Mama Ning again, if Madam knows, she will definitely be sad......"
