Chapter 1: The Soul Returns
Syllable!
The roaring and rushing river slapped on the boulder on the bank, scattering water splashes all over the sky, watering the brains of the little man lying on the stone, and slightly relieving the little man's splitting headache.
Syllable!
Lin Ruyu struggled to lift her snow-white and tender but scratched paws, and pulled away the wet hair stuck to her face. I just wiped the water off my face and was about to open my eyes, but I slapped my face with water foam again.
What's so ......
"Big girlβ"
Before Lin Ruyu could scold, a loud shout came from afar, accompanied by the roaring river, which looked particularly cheerful. The corners of Lin Ruyu's mouth twitched, and she secretly said in her heart, "Why am I still a little daughter-in-law!" β
But when she squirmed back a few times like a caterpillar, avoiding the enthusiastic and unrestrained river, she looked sideways in the direction of the sound, and saw a tall and thin young man who looked like a chicken in soup like herself, barefoot, clumsily holding a pink embroidered shoe running towards her, but tears involuntarily flowed down.
This young man, Lin Ruyu was sure that it was the first time she saw her, but the memories that did not belong to her just stuffed into her brain clearly showed that this young man's name was Lin Dafu, and he was a member of the same surname as the little girl. The little girl's family called him a fool because he was a fool.
But it was this fool who jumped into the surging river after Lin Ruyu fell into the water and rescued her. It's just that it was Lin Ruyu, a fourteen-year-old long-room girl from the Lin family, a wealthy businessman in Xuanzhou, who fell into the water, but it was Lin Ruyu, a seventeen-year-old orphan girl who died of illness in the flower family thousands of years later, who was rescued.
The little girl with the same name as her had drowned. On the way back to his maternal grandfather's house with his mother Fang and his five-year-old brother Ah Heng, he encountered robbers and fell into the water and drowned.
Lin Ruyu closed her eyes that were scorched by the blazing sun, and called out to the poor little girl in her heart. She didn't get any response from the little girl, but the scene of Silly Fu running wildly in the woods with the little girl on his back suddenly flashed in her mind, followed by two wicked men with knives.
Fear and headache hit at the same time, if it weren't for the fact that Lin Ruyu had been tortured to get used to the pain, she would have to exhale in pain at this time.
"Big girl, shoes!"
Click, click......
The cool droplets of water dripped on Lin Ruyu's little face that had just been warmed by the sun, and the coolness soothed her headache slightly, she opened her eyes with difficulty, and looked up at the simple young man in front of her who blocked the sun with tears.
Lin Dafu, who was dark-skinned, grinned with a mouthful of big white teeth, put the embroidered shoes on Lin Ruyu's face, and said happily, "Shoes." β
Lin Ruyu tried to open her mouth and commanded directly in a hoarse voice, "Let me go." β
In the orphanage where Lin Ruyu grew up, there are several outcasts with low IQs, and she has known how to get along with such children since she was a child - she must speak directly, otherwise they will not understand.
"Oh."
Lin Dafu replied humbly, put the wet embroidered shoes on the stone, and pressed them against Lin Ruyu's nose.
The cross-eyed Lin Ruyu twitched the corner of his mouth.
Very good, Lin Dafu understood and did so, which shows that his situation is mildly mentally handicapped in professional terms, to put it bluntly: a smart person among fools.
"Big girl, shoes." Lin Dafu saw Lin Ruyu lying on his stomach and did not move, so he reminded him.
A sense of nervousness and shame that didn't belong to her struck, the two white and tender little feet with injuries trembled, Lin Ruyu gritted her teeth and endured the pain all over her body and turned over, lying on the boulder with a big grin, breathing a sigh of relief, and said hoarsely, "It's wet, dry it and wear it again." β
The little girl's shoes, socks, and hairpin rings were all washed away by the turbulent river.
Washed away...... In another headache that made people can't help but scold their mother, something flashed through his mind. Lin Ruyu raised her hand and touched her waist, and when she touched the obvious shape, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the little girl's guides, silver tickets, and tokens were wrapped in oiled paper by her mother, Fang, and sewn into the ties of her dress, so that they were not washed away by the water.
Half a month ago, when he was about to leave for his grandfather's house to visit relatives, Fang asked the little girl to tie this tie just in case, disgusted with the little girl who did not match the heavy tie and the beautiful dress, and pouted for a long time to be unhappy.
Thinking of the little girl's mother, countless pictures flashed, and the pain struck again, Lin Ruyu, who was in tears like a surging river, simply closed her eyes and asked, "Brother Da Fu has seen my mother and Ah Heng?" β
Lin Dafu, who had just changed his position not to block the sun so that the embroidered shoes could be dried as soon as possible, was stunned for a moment after listening to Lin Ruyu's words, then got up and ran barefoot.
"Daifuku is back !!"
"Ahem, ahemβ"
Lin Ruyu shouted, pulled the choking lung tube, and coughed uncontrollably.
Hearing the shout, Lin Dafu ran back again, stood by the boulder and stared straight at Lin Ruyu, and said eagerly, "Big lady!" β
Lin Ruyu suppressed the churning internal organs, and pointed to the position next to him, "Sit there, dry your clothes first, let's ...... Go and find it. β
Lin Dafu sat down obediently, and laughed out loud after a while, "My name is Dafu, and my father said that I have Dafu." β
Because he called him "Dafu" instead of "Silly Fu", he was happy to be like this, which shows that he is smarter than he thinks.
Lin Ruyu just hooked the corners of his mouth, and suddenly another scene flashed in his mind: in the woods, a wicked man smiled lewdly and slashed Lin Dafu's skin and flesh with a knife. Lin Dafu cried out in pain while crawling towards the little girl who was being pressed and bullied by another wicked person, trying in vain to pull her out from under the wicked person.
"Hiss......" Countless memory fragments pulled in his mind, Lin Ruyu sat up, holding her head in her hands in pain.
"Big girl?" Lin Dafu crawled over and raised his hand to pull Lin Ruyu's arm, but suddenly remembered that he had been slapped on the arm, and retracted his hand.
After a while, Lin Ruyu raised her head with a slight gasp, but saw two faintly visible points of light beating in the distance behind Lin Dafu and on the bank of the upper reaches of the river. A fragment of memory told her unequivocally that it was the knife in the hand of the wicked man reflecting light! Lin Ruyu's heart tightened suddenly, and she just stood up, but because of a heart-piercing pain in her ankle, she fell on the slippery stone again.
Time was pressing, Lin Ruyu glanced at the red and swollen left ankle, stretched out his arms to the stunned Lin Dafu, and decisively ordered, "The wicked man is coming, Brother Dafu will carry me!" β
Lin Dafu didn't ask anything, turned around and let Lin Ruyu lie on his back and carried her up.
Lin Ruyu pressed the back of his head with his left hand, and pointed in the direction with his right hand, "Bend over and run over there, fast." β
Lin Dafu obediently bent over, followed the direction of Lin Ruyu's finger through the reed forest more than half a person high, and rushed into the forest. Hearing Lin Dafu's panting voice getting heavier and heavier, the same scene flashed in Lin Ruyu's splitting head, and what was about to happen soon was a scene that made the little girl deeply afraid!
Lin Ruyu gritted her teeth and endured the pain and fear, forced herself to calm down, looked left and right to find a good position, and then calmly ordered, "Okay, stop slowly and put me down." β
After Lin Dafu, who was panting, slowly stopped, Lin Ruyu held his shoulders and landed on one foot, his eyes firm.
This forest was once a desperate and sad place where Lin Dafu was killed and the little girl was humiliated. But now that she is here, this is the place where the two wicked men die!
