When Yan'er watched her father become more and more prosperous because of his big business, her mother was infected with a serious illness, and it became heavier and heavier, Yan'er didn't know what to do, she stayed by her mother's side every day, her father searched for famous doctors, and even a famous doctor in the capital was invited, and she only said one sentence: "Unable to return to heaven" Yan'er didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at that time, and asked her father, but her father just had tears in her eyes and told her to play by herself, and didn't tell her, until her mother touched Yan'er's head one day and told her word by word:" Yan'er, be obedient in the future, follow your father well, my mother can't take care of you anymore in the future," Yan'er remembered the dead fish in the garden pond when she was a child, thinking that her mother might also be dying, and wanted to cry, but she was afraid that her mother would see it, so she could only let the tears roll in her eyes, and nodded, and her mother took her father's hand again, and said to him with great effort: "After I die, you can find a virtuous woman to take good care of her," Daddy didn't say anything, his mother pulled his hand again, Daddy held back the grief in his heart and nodded, Mingfeng finally swallowed his last breath, and his soul went to the west.

Cheng Ru didn't want to marry again, but looking at Yan'er as if she had been taken out of her soul, she didn't move for a day, except for eating, sleeping, just sitting by the pond and watching the fish in the water, getting thinner and thinner, Mingfeng's personal maid Cui'er also comforted countless times, but it didn't work, I felt that it was really not a way, I heard that there was a young lady in Liuzhou who was very virtuous, and didn't care about filling the house, so she gave a dowry, and married back on the second day, Cui'er took Yan'er's hand and came to the new daughter-in-law, the new daughter-in-law looked very beautiful, and Mingfeng was a little similar, Yan'er looked at her timidly, Chengru told her to walk to the new daughter-in-law and tell her that she would be your mother in the future, I will take good care of you, Yan'er didn't respond, the new daughter-in-law smiled and said, "Don't worry, it'll be fine in the future, I will take good care of you, and it will be the same if you call it in the future," Yan'er lowered her eyes, nodded, and went out with Cui'er.

Sure enough, since the new daughter-in-law married in, the family has been arranged in an orderly manner, and the subordinates respect her very much, and they are also very good to Yan'er, just like her own, Yan'er's face finally has a smile, Cheng Ru has slowly had feelings for her, a year later, gave birth to a son, Cheng Ru felt that the family situation is now very stable, so he decided to go out to do business, and after arranging the affairs of the family, he set off for Yangzhou.

On the third day of Cheng Ru's departure, the bride called Yan'er in, and said to her with a smile: "Do you still refuse to call me my mother?" Yan'er opened her mouth and didn't scream, the bride looked at it indifferently, and said with a smile: "This is the recipe made by our family's ancestral secret recipe, eat it to strengthen your body, I specially boiled it for you, drink it," Yan'er smelled a pungent sour smell, but she obediently drank it, in drowsiness, she seemed to see the bride's face showed a hideous expression that she had never seen before, but she couldn't think too much, she fell to the ground, ten minutes later, Yan'er's face became jet black, the bride slowly stood up, read a few words to her, a bowl-sized scar appeared on her left face, the bride's face appeared with a satisfied look, the corners of her mouth twitched, and said: " The master actually wants to give you half of the family property as a dowry, but fortunately, my family has this, and when the master comes back, he won't see you again, hahaha......"

When Yan'er woke up, what appeared in front of her eyes was no longer the familiar scenery at home, people came and went on the unfamiliar street, and the eyes that looked at her were frightened, there was a boy who beat her with stones, and scolded her for being a monster in a dialect she was not familiar with, as more and more people threw her stones, she had to run, and when she ran out of the city, there was no one behind her to chase her, she shed tears, wiped the blood on her head, didn't understand what was going on, when she walked to the small river on the outskirts of the city, she wanted to wash the blood with water, when she was close to the water, what was reflected in front of her was a pitch-black face, and there was a rather ugly scar on her left cheek, Yan'er exclaimed, "Ghost, ghost" Later, after her mood calmed down, she remembered that she was looking at her own face, she trembled all over, and wanted to scream, but the great fear made her unable to scream, what was going on, why couldn't she remember anything, where was this? Where is Daddy, what should I do? Her tears fell down like beads with broken threads, but the silence around her was terrible, and only the cicadas kept screaming and knowing, knowing.

Time flies quite quickly, people say that there is a strange beggar in Shezhou City, not very old, only 6.7 years old, but quite ugly, the face is black like carbon, and there is a scar on the left side of the face, but never like some other beggars to be as strong as force, she just curled up in the corner, sometimes also help others a little favor, slowly, the people here also accepted her, gave her some shabby clothes, and leftover meals, when she finished the day's life to eat back to the broken temple, a beggar next to another beggar said: " Hey, have you heard? Zhou Guojing held a spinning top contest, the winner can get a hundred taels of silver, and you can also arrange a good errand for you," "Really, there is such a good thing," "There are fakes, the notices are posted to us, I have seen it with my own eyes, how can there be a fake," followed by their laughter, saying what if there is money, Yan'er's heart moved, clenched her fists, her eyes flashed, she pumped the top, the sweetest and most beautiful memories, she touched the scar on her face, and thought to herself, but will they give me an errand to do? No matter what, even if you go for a hundred taels.

Half a month later, Yan'er who begged along the road finally came to the capital of Zhouguo, the bustling streets were lined with shops, the crowd was surging on the street, I finally arrived, Yan'er thought happily, she asked for directions while walking, and finally found the registration location, there was a long queue in front, she touched the neat clothes given by the well-wishers she had changed the day before, and her own washed and combed hair bun, she was still a little uneasy, because her face was too ugly, as the row got closer and closer, she became more and more worried, and when the queue arrived, the official who signed up only asked her name and registered her, she was overjoyed, and waited for the game to start。

The sun is shining, the people who shine are a little flustered, the game field is five to one to start the game, come on, shouts one after another, people continue to lose, the royal family of Zhou also came to watch the game, one is to have fun with the people, the other is that the idea was originally put forward by the princess of Zhou Guo, she is not fun to play by herself, she wants to find a folk master to learn from her, but the people on the field play too badly, she sent herself down, Yan'er looked at the people in the stands, and suddenly heard someone shouting, Chen Guoyan'er, she is about to play.
