In the silent night, beside a pond of water, in an antique mansion, there were swords and swords everywhere, and there was a glimmer of magic, and two groups of people and horses fought together in this house, one of which was a group of black-clothed people with cyan masks.

The goal of the man in black seems to be very clear, they are all aimed at a little girl who is four or five years old, but the little girl is closely protected, and those men in black can't help it for a while.

"Mother-"

Suddenly, a heart-rending cry of a child pierced the sky.

"Ayin!" The man who was fighting with someone turned his head and saw the injured woman who fell to the ground, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Little sister!" Not far away, another man was distracted and stabbed in the right shoulder by a sword from the man in black.

"Qian'er ......" The injured woman had a hideous knife wound in her abdomen, which was bleeding, she covered the wound in her abdomen with one hand, and pulled a little girl who was four or five years old with the other, comforting: "Qian'er is not afraid, my mother protects you!" ”

"Mother." The girl cried and tugged at the woman's sleeve, with fear in her eyes, she didn't understand why she stayed at home so well, but so many terrible people came to their house to kill people and set fires, she saw the familiar nurse, the maidservant sister who served her, one by one fell in a pool of blood, and her father and uncle were also covered in blood, and she trembled with fear.

"Ayin, you and Qian'er hurry up." The red-eyed man slapped the black-clothed man in front of him with one palm, and took a sword in his chest, shaking all the black-clothed people around the woman and the child, and shouted at those black-clothed people: "Today, I will fight for my life, and I will not let you hurt Qian'er at all." ”

"Brother Yuan! Third brother! The woman who was called Ayin looked at her husband and brother with tears in her eyes, then looked at the daughter beside her, and finally gritted her teeth and said to the girl: "Qian'er, go with my mother." ”

The woman turned her head and glanced at the two men who were struggling again, stood up with the pain of the wound, picked up the little girl and ran to the inner house, and the injury was a little more serious because of several fights with people along the way.

The little girl nestled in the woman's arms, and when she saw her father and uncle cut down to the ground by the man in black from above the woman's shoulder, she cried out, "I want my father, I want my third uncle." ”

When she arrived at the inner house, the woman took the little girl to the bedroom, opened the dark room, took out a jade bottle from the dark compartment of the dark room, and fed one of the pills in the jade bottle into the little girl's mouth.

A trace of uneasiness rose in the girl's heart: "Mother's ......"

"Good girl." The woman reluctantly touched the girl's cheek, and tears couldn't help but flow out again: "My mother will send you to a place first, and when it is safe here, my mother will go to you, okay?" ”

"Really?"

"Really, you're just waiting for your mother in that place, okay?"

"Then mother, you must talk and count."

The woman smiled and nodded, her breath became weaker and weaker, she forced her breath and endured the sharp pain in her abdomen: "Qian'er, my mother will accompany you every night in the future, and my mother will sleep during the day, and I will come back to accompany you at night, okay?" ”

"Mother, don't leave me." The woman's words made the little girl even more frightened, and she couldn't help but pull the woman's sleeves tighter.

"Qian'er, promise your mother, you have to be obedient, you must live well, okay?"

The woman choked up with words, and saw that the little girl was still sobbing, but she grabbed her sleeve tighter, and couldn't help but say urgently: "Qian'er, quickly promise my mother." ”

"Shallow...... Qian'er promised her mother. ”

The woman's bloody hand gently stroked the little girl's cheek, gently held the little girl in her arms, took a deep breath, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and sacrificed a thousand miles away from the land, pasted it on the little girl's body, and then tore off the sleeves that were pulled by the little girl.

In a flash, the little girl only felt that her mother was getting farther and farther away from her, and she wanted to grab her mother's hand in fright, but she didn't catch anything, only the figure of her mother was getting smaller and smaller in front of her eyes......

"Mother-"

The little girl only felt a sharp pain in her heart, and couldn't help coughing, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the jade bead she had carried on her wrist since she was a child, and then she lost consciousness.

"Mother-"

In Linzhou, in a remote small courtyard of the Du family in Fuyang City, the sleeping girl who was lying on the desk in front of Xiaoxuan's window snorted softly, and then opened her eyes suddenly.

The girl is thirteen or fourteen years old, although her face is still a little childish, but she is already bright eyes and bright teeth, curved eyebrows and nose, extremely beautiful, she is wearing a white dress, the cuffs and skirt are outlined with a light cyan moon shadow cloud pattern, and there is only a light cyan wooden hairpin inserted on the black cloud temples, and there are no other ornaments.

Having just woken up from a nightmare, the girl was still a little dazed, and she slowly stroked her heart, where there was still a dull pain.

She had that nightmare again, in the last year or two, as soon as she closed her eyes, the boundless blood light in the dark night would appear in front of her eyes, but the dream before was not very clear, but today's dream was so clear that she felt like she was there, and even, she could clearly see the faces of those people in the dream, and clearly hear everyone's words.

What is that place, and who are those people?

In that nightmare, she seemed to be the little girl, crying out for her mother, father and uncle in fear and helplessness, watching them being hurt by those men in black, she couldn't see the appearance of those men in black clearly, only in a trance, she saw a strange pattern of red under the sleeves of one of the men in black who were cut by sword qi.

Qian'er is the name of the little girl in the dream, just like her name: Du Qian.

"Bang dang", before the girl could come to her senses, the courtyard door of the small courtyard where she lived was kicked open all of a sudden, and a bright girl about the same age as Du Qian swaggered in with a few maidservants.

"Yo, our Du Qian girl is really laid-back." The girl who walked into the courtyard sneered, slowly walked into the house, looked at Du Qian by Xiaoxuan's window and said, "Do you know what people outside say about you?" said that you are a white-eyed wolf, our Du family kindly took you in, a helpless orphan girl, and the old lady raised you as her own granddaughter, but now that the old lady has passed away, you don't even show your face. ”

The girl who spoke was the girl in the second room of the Du family, Xingsan, named Du Ting, and everyone called her the third girl on weekdays.

And Du Qian is the adopted daughter of the Du family, who was picked up by the old lady of the Du family when she was incense.

This Mrs. Du is the stepmother of Master Du, has not given birth to children, the grandchildren in the family are not very close to her, after picking up Du Qian, she saw that the cloth she was holding in her hand wrote the word "shallow", so she named her Du Qian, and raised Du Qian as a granddaughter under her knees.

For Du Qian's existence, most of the Du family has an indifferent attitude, anyway, it is a female baby, so she should raise a kitten and a puppy, and the one who dislikes Du Qian the most is the third girl of the Du family.

There is no other reason, before Du Qian did not come to Du's house, Du Ting was the most beautiful girl in the family, but since Du Qian came, everyone who has seen Du Qian has praised Du Qian's appearance, except for her father, but no one said that she was the most beautiful.

Because of this reason, Du Ting almost hated Du Qian to death, it was this Du Qian who took away the praise and attention that should have belonged to her.

"Why didn't I show up, didn't the people of your family say that I am not your Du family, and I am not qualified to guard the spirit of the old lady?" Du Qian's shoulders were straight, his face was cold, and there was no fear in his eyes when he looked at Du Ting.

Three days ago, after Mrs. Du passed away, she was sent to this small courtyard by the Du family, and there are usually people guarding outside the courtyard, not to mention keeping a wake for Mrs. Du, but she can't even get out of this small courtyard.

"Hmph, so what." Du Ting snorted coldly: "You are not from our Du family, so I won't let you go, what can you do." ”

Du Ting raised her chin proudly and looked at Du Qian with disdain: "But...... Others don't know, anyway, in the eyes of everyone, you are a white-eyed wolf, and besides, you are an orphan girl with no father and mother, maybe your fate is hard, and if you can't figure out my grandmother, you are the one who killed you, you evil spirit. ”

Du Ting reprimanded Du Qian as much as she could, she wanted to see Du Qian crying weakly, over the years, what annoyed her the most was Du Qian's cold and alienated appearance.
