Chapter 2: Rebirth
Zhou Song dreamed for the first time in a long time.
When she was a child, she always dreamed, and after practicing martial arts, she was tired every day before she could sleep more peacefully. Later, she became the emperor, but her heart did not let go, when she was awake, she found someone to play with her, and when she was tired of playing, she closed her eyes a little to rest, and when she woke up, she continued to call people. At this time, Zhou Song began to feel that dreaming was a blessing.
But the dream now really makes her unhappy-
"Daddy, brother, don't! My daughter was wrong, and my daughter didn't dare anymore! β
In the dream, two burly men were pressing a thin girl to the ground, and in front of the girl was a man with a fierce face. The man had a whip in his hand, his expression was grim, and he looked at the girl with disgust in his eyes.
This man is Zhou Song's father, Master Zhou, and the other two men are her brothers.
"Are you wrong? Where do you know it's wrong! The woman's family doesn't abide by the woman's way, secretly practices martial arts, and even runs to the martial arts conference to lose face, do you still have my father in your eyes? β
After that, the hand whipped down, and the cowhide whip fell heavily on Zhou Song's back, and the skin and flesh were open and blood was dripping at the whip.
Zhou Song was in great pain, lost his strength, and fell to the ground. However, Master Zhou did not mean to stop, but intensified, as if he could regain the limelight that was snatched away by Zhou Song by whipping.
"Daddy, Daddy, my daughter really knows that she is wrongβah!"
This whip hit Zhou Song's ankle, and Zhou Song suddenly felt that his muscles and bones were about to break, and he couldn't use his strength anymore.
ββ¦β¦ Big brother, second brother, I beg you, persuade Daddy! β
If this continued, Zhou Song felt that he would be beaten to death, so he tried his best to crawl forward with his hands, trying to grab the plackets of the two brothers, but was dodged in disgust.
Seeing that no one could help him, Zhou Song couldn't bear it anymore, and yelled at Master Zhou:
"I deserve it! I practiced martial arts hard, I thought that I gave the Zhou family face, and you would become like me, but you only think that I am in the limelight...... Not!! β
Before he finished speaking, Master Zhou viciously kicked Zhou Song in the abdomen, and then kicked after kick, one after another, until Zhou Song curled up on the ground, motionless.
Zhou Song's heart was like ashes, tears and blood were intertwined, and her voice was already hoarse from the previous cry, but in her mouth, she still muttered unrelentingly, like a walking corpse.
"These are the ...... I deserve"
The girl should have given up completely, but she suddenly struggled violently like a dying little beast, and for a moment she couldn't hold down even the two strong men.
Zhou Song seemed to forget the pain in her body, and desperately ran towards the gate of Zhou's house, which was her only chance to escape.
Suddenly, Zhou Song felt a sharp pain in her ankle, and in an instant, blood splashed, and she fell to the door.
Zhou Song looked back in horror, only to see Master Zhou holding a sword in one hand, the sword was cold and stained with Zhou Song's blood.
Master Zhou broke Zhou Song's hamstrings - her biological father turned her into a waste!
οΌοΌ
When he dreamed that Master Zhou was swinging his sword and was going to break her tendons, Zhou Song woke up. She gasped for air, drenched in cold sweat. She moved her hands and feet with palpitations, and found that she could still move, so she put her mind at ease-
Wait a minute! Am I not dead?
Zhou Song sat up suddenly, subconsciously touched herself, feeling stiffer and thinner than before, and looked around, this is the palace where she usually lives, it is clearly a dilapidated thatched house!
What's going on, am I reborn?!
Zhou Song tried to calm herself down, thinking quickly about countermeasures in her mind, when suddenly a sharp knock on the door interrupted her thoughts, and a crisp female voice came:
"Brother Ye, Brother Ye! It's already sunset, haven't you gotten up yet! β
Brother Ye? Could it be that Ye Xingchuan is referring to it?
"I ββ!!"
The moment Zhou Song spoke, she was stunned - although this voice was much greener than the one she heard before she died, she still recognized that this was Ye Xingchuan's voice!
"Why don't you speak? I'm coming in. β
"Don't! IβI'm getting dressed! β
Seeing that the girl outside the door was about to open the door, she hurriedly stopped it. In fact, she had no extra clothes to wear.
The thatched hut was crumbling and rudimentary, with a set of shabby tables and chairs, a simple stove cooker, and a kang covered with hay mats. Although shabby, it was cleaned up neatly, and it can be seen that the owner of the house loves to be clean on weekdays.
And the clothes on Zhou Song's body have long been out of shape, tight and small, and they are very uncomfortable to wear, they should have been clothes from a long time ago.
Zhou Song cleared his throat, tried his best to follow Ye Xingchuan's example, and opened the door. The moment the door was opened, the girl almost pounced on Zhou Song, it turned out that the little girl had been leaning in front of the door and peeking! Seeing Zhou Song, the girl's face immediately turned red and she stood up.
In his previous life, after Zhou Song announced that he was marrying Ye Xingchuan, Ye Xingchuan's mother and a woman often ran to the palace to cry. At that time, she was in a good mood, and specially sent 10,000 taels of gold to Ye Xingchuan's family, and also ordered the guards to persuade them to leave, and not to be rude. She didn't know what the relationship between that woman and Ye Xingchuan was, but if the relationship was not deep, it would be impossible for this woman to sprinkle in front of the palace for Ye Xingchuan.
Zhou Song recognized the girl in front of him, it was that woman, Duan was stunned. It's just that her impression of Duan Jingjing has always been spicy and smart, and the shy little girl in front of her makes her feel a little strange.
"Ahem, I peeked at you because I was worried about you, don't think about it!"
Duan was stunned to see Zhou Song looking himself up and down, and it was inevitable that he would feel uncomfortable, scratching his head very unnaturally, and his eyes were dodgy.
Zhou Song was speechless, and the vivid sting in front of her made her fall into memories for a while.
The scene of Duan stinging crying and shouting in front of the palace and scolding her for being the "dog emperor" is still vivid. And now she is wearing a double bun, blinking a pair of round almond eyes, and a little baby fat on her face, which is really too different from her previous life.
"Hey, what are you doing in a daze? You can't be stupid! β
Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, Duan was shocked to reach out and pinch her face. This unusually intimate move caught Zhou Song off guard and subconsciously avoided it.
However, this dodge made the atmosphere between the two instantly awkward.
ββ¦β¦ I'm going to wash my face! β
Zhou Song broke the silence and hurriedly opened the door and ran outside the house.
In the same memory, there is a clear stream outside the house, in her previous life, Ye Xingchuan once brought her here to help her wash her wounds with clear stream water.
Zhou Song looked at the familiar face reflected in the water, and couldn't help but gasp - the straight nose bridge, the deep and resolute eyes, and the slightly tanned skin were no different from the memory. It's just that Ye Xingchuan when he was a teenager, because he couldn't eat enough for a long time, his figure was very thin.
Looking at this face, Zhou Song felt that her nose was a little sore, she hurriedly picked up the river water and threw it on her face, even washing away the tears that wanted to drop.
She was born again, and she had a chance to start over.
Zhou Song washed his face and thought about looking for Ye Xingchuan.
Just as she was about to get up, she felt a kick into the stream. The kick was abrupt and savage, and although the water was not deep, she was choked by the water, and before she could stand up, she heard a shrill laugh from the shore.
"Ye Xingchuan, Little Calamity!" "Disaster star! Your mother is a catastrophe, you are a minor catastrophe! "Your father is also a madman, and he deserves to die!"
"You guys!! Get out of here, don't go wild here! β
In the harsh words, there were occasional stings and scoldings. I saw Duan Jingzhen rushing in front of them and wanted to push them away, but the three teenagers pushed Duan Jingzhen into the river as soon as they used their strength.
"Ahh Duan stumbled heavily into the rocks in the river, and was unable to get up in pain for a while.
Zhou Song looked at the three stubborn teenagers in front of him, and remembered that they were Ye Xingchuan's three cousins, who often obeyed the orders of adults, ran to Ye Xingchuan's house to make trouble and grab food, and would unite to bully Ye Xingchuan on weekdays.
In the few days she and Ye Xingchuan got along in their previous life, they often came to find fault, and often snatched their dry food, thinking of this, Zhou Song suddenly became angry, now is different from the past, she and Ye Xingchuan were weak at the beginning, and they couldn't compete with them, but now it's different.
Zhou Song tried to mobilize the internal force in his body, and found that the cultivation in his previous life had disappeared, but he didn't care, the martial arts he practiced in his previous life went deep into the bone marrow, and it was more than enough to deal with these gangsters.
She got up indifferently, straightened up and walked towards the teenagers, and the one who took the lead saw that she was not as tolerant as before, and also became interested, and said mockingly:
"Yo, what are the little cubs doing here......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Song punched the leader in the face, and a small minion next to him watched his boss being beaten, and immediately rushed forward to vent his anger for the boss, Zhou Song grabbed the man's wrist with his hand, and fell over the shoulder, slamming the man to the ground.
Seeing this, the other also rushed over, and for the sake of face, he also wanted to beat Zhou Song.
However, Zhou Song knocked them to the ground with three strokes and five divisions, and she pressed against the young man who took the lead, and asked viciously:
"Say, will you dare in the future?!"
"Ye Xingchuan! You're waiting for me......"
Zhou Song smashed another punch into his face, and the young man shook his head desperately, and changed his words instantly:
"No, no, no, I don't dare, I don't dare."
"I tell you, if you dare to find fault in the future, I will make you unable to even go home!"
After that, Zhou Song got up and didn't forget to make up for him, and the three thugs slipped on the ground. Looking at their backs and fleeing, Zhou Song couldn't tell how happy she was in her heart, and at this time, she remembered Duan Jingjing on the side, and hurriedly ran over to check.
Duan Jingzhen was still sitting in the water, looking stunned, until Zhou Song asked her if she could stand up, and she came back to her senses:
"Oh my God, Brother Ye, you were too handsome just now, did you secretly learn martial arts?"
Zhou Song denied: "Where do I have time to practice martial arts." β
After she helped Duan Jing up, she suddenly felt a little vague in her steps, as if she hadn't eaten a full meal for a few days.
"Looks like we're going to have to hurry up and get some food."
Zhou Song hurriedly shook his dizzy head and thought.
"Come, Brother Ye, you haven't eaten much in the past few days, you eat this first."
Duan was stunned to see Zhou Song standing dizzy, so he took out a scone from his arms and handed it to Zhou Song. Last night, her family baked cakes, and she originally came to deliver cakes to Ye Xingchuan's house.
However, the scone was dry and hard, Zhou Song was used to eating good meat and good vegetables in his previous life, and it was difficult to eat this dry scone for a while, so he excused himself and said:
"I'm fine, you might as well keep it for yourself."
Duan shook his head: "I'm not hungry, you have the strength to work after eating!" β
Zhou Song wanted to say something, but he was really hungry, and he couldn't bear to live up to Duan Jingjing's kindness, so he stuffed the baked cake in a few bites, and after eating, he said that he was going to find a job, and left Duan Jingzhen and ran away.
Ye Xingchuan's family lives in a small mountain village outside the capital, the whole village is very poor, Ye Xingchuan's father was originally a small catcher in the city, and then died in an accident, and his mother ran to his mother's house outside the city, but his mother's family felt ashamed and did not want to associate with them.
Ye Xingchuan's mother took him to live alone when he was young, working for people in the city during the day, and became ill from hard work, Ye Xingchuan also worked with his mother when he grew up, and the salary was already meager, and he was often robbed by the gangsters nearby, resulting in the two of them not having enough food and clothing, and living an extremely hard life.
"I was reborn into Ye Xingchuan, then Ye Xingchuan should also be on me now, go to the martial arts hall to have a look first."
Zhou Song brushed his thoughts and found the mansion with his memory.
Located in the east of the capital, the Zhou Martial Arts Hall is large in scale and is extremely prestigious in the city, making it easy to find.
Looking at her former home, Zhou Song hooked the corners of her mouth mockingly, full of the pleasure of smashing the plaque from her previous life.
She walked around to the back door of the martial arts hall, climbed up to a crooked neck tree at the back door, looked up, and easily saw the boudoir back then. After finding her target, she gently stepped on the eaves, and after a while, she walked into her small courtyard.
Zhou Song cautiously observed the surroundings, and after making sure that there was no one in the small courtyard, he quickly entered the bedroom.
As soon as she entered, she was suddenly grabbed by the collar by a hand and pressed to the ground!
