Chapter 1: Rebirth
Gu Shihan felt a chill in her heart while she was dazed. Something cold was flowing down her face. She slowly opened her eyes.
What do you see? Where are you?
A shabby mud house with a thatched roof with several holes. The gloomy sky outside could be vaguely seen, and the water dripping on the face was rain.
The rain kept falling and there was basically no dry place in the house. Am I lying on a pile of straw?
Gu Shihan was incredulous. How could she be here? Where was this? She was clearly on a plane. The plane must have broken down. She must have crashed with the plane.
Oh! I remember now. Gu Shihan was a mercenary sent to Country S from a base in Country H. It was true that she was walking on the edge of a knife. She was carrying out top-secret missions.
In her memory, she and her companions completed a top-secret mission and solved a drug trafficking case that shocked the world.
This case involved more than 20 countries. The criminals included important politicians, white-collar workers, military officials, as well as low-level gangsters and beggars. In short, many fields were involved.
Today was the day when her ten-year employment contract expired. She left the celebration party and returned home with her boyfriend Yingnuo's ashes, ready to start a new life. Unexpectedly, an accident happened and she must have died.
There are very few people who can survive a plane crash, and I am just one of the lucky ones among thousands?
That’s great. I’m lucky to be alive, but how did I end up lying in a pile of weeds?
Gu Shihan wanted to get up, but she felt something strange in her heart. Before she could figure out what was going on, her head started to hurt. It felt like it was going to explode, so she had to hold her head and fall back again.
A strange memory flooded into her mind. Gu Shihan felt very strange, but she couldn't blame her for feeling this way.
Because Gu Shihan is an out-and-out atheist, she never thought that time travel really existed in this world? Fortunately, she encountered it by chance.
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but the original owner’s surname was Shi and his given name was Han, the same as mine, except that I had an extra surname of Gu. Nine years old?! It seems that my soul has traveled through time and space? And I have become a little kid?
As I recall, Xiao Shihan's father, Shi Zhuang, was bitten by a wild wolf a month ago. He was rescued with only half his life left. He died within two days, leaving behind his wife Liu and daughter Xiao Shihan to depend on each other.
Shi Zhuang is the second son of Old Man Shi from Lingshan Village. The Shi family is considered a wealthy family in Lingshan Village.
Shi Zhuang has six brothers and sisters. The eldest brother Shi Xu is a scholar. He is an educated man and the glory of the Shi family. He has two sons and one daughter. The family lives in the town and basically relies on farming to support his family.
Shi Zhuang's two younger sisters are married, and they are living a pretty good life. Although they are not rich, they have enough food and clothing. In addition, they have a brother who is a scholar, so they have some face in their husband's family.
Shi Zhuang has two younger brothers, Shi Du and Shi Peng. Shi Du is married and has two sons, but the youngest brother Shi Peng is twenty-one and has not yet married or had children.
Well, old people all love their youngest children. Shi Peng is a typical example. He is the apple of the eye of old lady Shi.
Shi Peng had been idle and unlearned since childhood. Old Man Shi wanted to cultivate him carefully, but after ten years of schooling, he had never even taken the examination for a student.
He spends all day stealing and robbing, hanging out in brothels and bars, and getting involved in everything. He's a real scoundrel.
No girl from a good family would marry such a scoundrel.
The Shi family did not split up. The family had more than 20 acres of land, which was managed by Old Man Shi, Shi Zhuang and his wife, and Shi Du and his wife.
Shi Zhuang is an honest but dull man with a bad tongue. He has not been liked by his parents since childhood. He is still unmarried at the age of 25 because his wife, Mrs. Shi, is unwilling to pay a betrothal gift.
At this time, Zhuang was also a lucky man. Once when he was doing odd jobs outside, he rescued the injured and amnesiac Liu Yuwan.
Liu Yuwan has lost her memory and has nowhere to go. Life outside will definitely not be easy and may even be dangerous.
Seeing that Shi Zhuang was an honest and kind-hearted man, she volunteered to marry him and became his wife.
The next year, she gave birth to a daughter, Shi Han, for Shi Zhuang. When she was pregnant again for almost five months, she had a miscarriage due to the torture of Shi's old wife. From then on, her body was damaged and she could no longer have children.
It is said that good people do not live long. Shi Zhuang, who was honest, hardworking and helpful, got into trouble. Once he went up the mountain to hunt and encountered a wild wolf.
When Shi Zhuang got into trouble, the two elders of the Shi family put all the blame on Liu and Shi Han, calling them unlucky stars and unlucky for their husbands and fathers.
The old woman had long been dissatisfied with Liu's mother and daughter. As soon as her son died, she drove them into this mud shed.
I have lived in this mud shed for more than a month.
Before the seventh day after Shi Zhuang's death, Shi Peng had already set his sights on Shi Han, wanting to sell her for silver.
How could Liu agree to this? She begged the village chief and clan elders to split the family. After the family was split, they would be two families and it would be difficult for them to do anything to Xiao Shihan, as it would be illegal.
Dong'an State has clear regulations that human trafficking is legal, but the trafficking of children must be agreed upon by their parents. If there are no parents, the consent of their grandparents is required. If neither of them is available, then the consent of blood relatives such as uncles and aunts can be sought.
The Shi family initially disagreed with the division of the family. The two elders of the Shi family were the heads of the family. Liu was afraid that her daughter would encounter an accident, so she had to take her daughter and leave the house.
Haha, it’s not called leaving the house with nothing, this mud shed is the property of this mother and daughter.
This bit of property was fought for by the village chief and clan elders for the mother and daughter. After all, Xiao Han is a girl.
Liu was a hardworking person, and with help from villagers from time to time, the mother and daughter lived a relatively comfortable life. Although they often did not have enough to eat, it was a blessing not to be beaten or scolded.
Just a while ago today, Shi Peng passed by the mud shed drunk and secretly saw Liu wiping her body. His desire was rising, and he pounced on her without hesitation.
Although Liu Yuwan's life was hard, she was pretty. Her appearance was so beautiful that it was hard to find one in the surrounding area. Her skin color didn't look like that of a farm lady at all. Her skin was white and tender. Shi Peng had been coveting her for a long time.
He had come to peek from time to time these days. If it weren't for the fact that his brother's body was still warm and he was afraid of being criticized, he would have...
When Xiao Han saw his uncle bullying his mother, he shouted for help and grabbed Shi Peng and started beating and kicking him.
But how could Shi Peng take a little girl like her seriously? Shi Peng grabbed her and threw her to the ground. Her head hit a stone, blood flowed all over the floor, and she fainted.
When Liu saw her daughter being beaten, she went crazy. How could she fight against a young man? Soon, Shi Peng pinned her down and tore her clothes violently. Just like that, Shi Peng…
The more Liu resisted, the more violent Shi Peng became, and he seemed to be getting more and more excited. Her hands were tied with cloth strips, and she was forced to obey him, her heart dead.
Shi Peng looked at the lifeless Liu, cursed and kicked her, and said angrily: "Bitch, it is your honor to let me sleep with you, be honest, you are a member of my Shi family in life and a ghost of my Shi family in death.
If I didn't think you were good-looking, do you think I would sleep with you? Let me tell you, I had found a good thing for your good daughter, but you guys didn't know what was good for you and wanted to split up the family. Humph, serve me well, and I can let her go and let her stay with you. Otherwise... Humph."
When Liu heard that her daughter was in trouble, her gloomy face changed. She didn't know where the strength came from, but she struggled to free her bound hands.
She didn't care about her naked body, she rushed over, hugged her unconscious daughter, put her trembling hands under her nose, and tried...
She was no longer breathing, dead! She cried out to the sky, "Han'er, how could you abandon your mother? What's the point of living without your mother? Shi Peng, you bastard, give me Han'er back my life!"
Liu carried her daughter to the straw, glanced at the man who was getting dressed nearby, picked up a stick and hit him.
Shi Peng was hit by a stick out of the blue, and he became furious. He grabbed the woman and slapped her several times.
Liu didn't care anymore and used her hands and feet to leave several scratches on Shi Peng's face, with blood flowing out.
Liu was eventually beaten to the ground and began to twitch. Shi Peng was still not satisfied, so he picked up a stick and started beating her.
I don't know how many times I hit her with the stick, but Liu vomited blood several times and passed out.
Shi Peng's face and body were covered with Liu's blood. He was so scared that he didn't even bother to put on his clothes. He dropped his stick and ran away.
Gu Shihan woke up slowly and saw the woman lying beside him. He realized that this was the mother of this body.
She wanted to get up, but the pain all over her body made her grit her teeth, and she fell into a coma again, unconscious.
The rain was still falling. Shi Peng was very scared when he escaped. He returned home trembling and covered in blood.
"Little boy, what happened to you? Why are you covered in blood? What's wrong with your face? Who scratched you? Did you encounter a wild wolf?" The old woman of the Shi family loved the youngest boy the most, so she asked hurriedly.
"Mom, please save me, I killed someone! I killed someone! I don't want to go to jail! I never thought they would die, how could... they just die?" Shi Peng's face turned pale, his whole body was shaking, and he could hardly speak clearly.
Although this man has done many bad things, this is the first time he has killed someone.
"My dear, what did you say? Don't scare your mother. Killing someone will result in the death penalty. Why are you so disobedient? What should I do? My dear... who... who did you kill?" The old mother of the Shi family was also shocked and asked in a low voice.
The old lady of the Shi family looked around, stood up and closed the door, then she pulled her beloved son up with trembling hands.
"Mom! I accidentally killed that little loser, and what about Liu? I don't want to go to jail, and I don't want to die. Mom, you must save me."
"What? Why would you provoke those two unlucky guys?" The old woman glared with her triangular eyes and raised her voice a degree.
"Mom, I drank a little wine and passed by the mud shed. I saw Liu wiping her body. You know, Liu has a good figure and fair skin. My son... my son has wanted to play with her for a long time. Before my second brother was still alive, I didn't dare.
My second brother is gone, how can her body be given to other men? If I want her, she can't remarry, and I can still have fun from time to time, how cool is that? !
I didn't expect that the little bitch came to help her mother, but I accidentally threw her to death. Liu... Liu was also beaten to death by me. The blood on her body is hers.
"Mom, what should I do? Someone's dead, I don't want to die, I don't want to go to jail." Shi Peng sobbed, holding his head.
"What a sin! How come our Shi family has to be beset with those two unlucky stars? They killed the second son, and now they are harming my youngest son. Youngest son, has anyone found you?" asked the mother of the Shi family.
"No, it was raining and the cowshed was behind the house, so no one should have seen me." Shi Peng thought for a while and said.
"That's good. Mother has a plan. We will throw those two unlucky girls into the Wild Wolf Valley to feed the wolves and say that they ran away with a wild man. What do you think?" A flash of hostility passed through the old woman's eyes.
Shi Peng swept away his fear and became energetic again: "Mom, your idea is really good, go and call Dad over, the two of us can't drag those two bitches. Let's go now. It would be bad if we were discovered. Fortunately, it's raining, even God is helping me."
The old woman of the Shi family found the old man Shi who was weaving baskets in the main room, and brought him back to the room without saying a word.
When the old man saw the youngest son covered in blood, he was also shocked and asked hurriedly, "Youngest son, where are you injured? Come on, old woman, take the money and ask the third son to go get a doctor."
"Dad, I'm not hurt! Mom, you tell me!" Shi Peng walked to the side, took off his bloody clothes, took one of his father's clothes and put it on.
"Old man, go get the cart quickly. The youngest son has beaten those two unlucky guys to death." The old woman whispered.
"What? Kill..." The old man was so scared that he was about to scream.
The old woman of the Shi family rushed over and covered the old man's mouth tightly, cursing in a low voice: "You are still shouting loudly, are you afraid that others don't know?! Go get a cart and throw those two unlucky people into the Wild Wolf Valley to feed the wolves. If anyone asks later, just say they ran away with someone."
"You...you guys..." The old man of the Shi family had a look of fear on his face, and his hands and feet became a little weak.
The old woman of the Shi family glared at him and said, "Old man, do you want the youngest son to go to jail? If the youngest son goes to jail, how can the second son take the imperial examination? Do you want to destroy the Shi family for these two unlucky people?"
Yes, there are still some rules in Dong'an State. For example, if there is someone who breaks the law in a scholar's family, then the scholar will lose the possibility of continuing.
"No...no...I'll get it right now, I'll get it right now!" said the old man, shaking his body.
"Remember not to let anyone see it. Not even the people in that room! You know it, I know it, heaven and earth know it, remember?!" The old woman of the Shi family glanced at the third son of the West Wing, Shi Du and his family, and warned.
"Remember, for Xu'er's future, I'm not worried, I'm not worried!" The old man went out from the east wing and came to the back room to take the cart out.
He met up with Shi Peng and his wife, and rushed to the mud shed in the rain. When he saw the blood on the ground, he was so scared that he almost fell to his knees.
When Mrs. Shi saw Liu Yuwan, naked and covered in blood, she looked at her coldly and dragged the bed sheet over her, cursing at her.
I hope it catches your eye!
