He was the eldest son, so his father loved him especially, and it was natural for the mistress to treat her own flesh and blood in the same way.

Who would believe me if I told them that I was a concubine's daughter? He would not be punished, but I would be scolded by my mother.

Fortunately, her mother did not come to this hunt, otherwise there was a high probability that her mother would slap her on the other cheek.

For her, compromise is always the first choice.

She shrank back into the team, covering her face, thinking about everything that happened in the cave.

She didn't understand why her brother pushed her. Now she thought it was just someone's words that caused her to do something wrong.

The younger brother behind is dead! He was hit on the head by Ah Shu and thrown in front of the mistress!

She still remembered that when she first fell, she had already fainted. When she woke up, she couldn't see her fingers, which frightened her.

The sound of water dripping down the rocks onto the surface made her shiver.

"Dad! Mom! Are you there?"

She asked in a low voice, but no one answered.

She looked at the slippery wall and curled up.

She usually cries a lot, but now, not a single tear can come out of her eyes.

To be honest, her life didn't seem to be hard. Although her food and clothing were always cut back, at least she had enough.

No matter what, the mistress would not let them starve to death in there. If they died, there would be no one to vent her anger on.

But she was so resentful, resentful of her mother for not knowing how to resist, and why she had to endure those mistakes that were not hers at all.

She sat there for a long time, until finally a ray of light shone into the cave.

But not much, but for her, it was enough.

Above the cave entrance, dense grass and vines surrounded the cave entrance tightly, and only a few torn light spots allowed her to observe the sky.

She looked around, turned around, and was suddenly startled.

Last night she was leaning against, not a physical wall, but a Buddha statue covered with thick moss.

It should be a Buddha statue, after all, it was sitting there, although the face was covered, making her a little unsure.

However, she still knelt down and bowed respectfully.

"Thank you for the blessing of Buddha..."

She kowtowed three times, then climbed up the Buddha statue and cleared the moss off it.

When she saw it clearly, she realized it was a ghost Buddha.

He had a grin and a face as dark as a night demon. He was not at all kind and tolerant like the deities worshipped in temples. He looked rather ugly.

She took it back, saying the offense, but she was so scared that she came.

"Second Miss!"

"Where are you, Miss?"

“…”

Shao Shuxuan suddenly heard someone calling her.

"I'm in here! I'm here!"

"Do you hear me? I'm here!"

"I'm here..."

She responded, and was swallowed by the hole.

The sounds became farther and farther away, and finally disappeared.

She heard no more sound until night fell again.

Shao Shuxuan was in despair. It had been two days since she had had a drop of water, and her forehead and body began to feel hot.

She knew that she must be sick again.

She climbed onto the Buddha's legs and curled up.

"No matter who you are, let me rest here for a while. If I die here, I don't know when anyone will find me..."

Shao Shuxuan murmured and fell asleep in a daze.

It was at this moment that she met Ah Shu.

She was still in the cave, but there was another person beside her, looking up at the top of the cave.

Ah Shu was different from her. He looked majestic even when he stood there in men's clothing, and his whole body was full of hostility. But when he looked at her, there was a flash of heartache in his eyes.

She looked at this girl who looked exactly like her and laughed.

"You are so beautiful. You look so much like me. I want to wear men's clothes. It will be more convenient for me to sneak out of the house without being recognized."

Ah Shu ignored her and walked up to her, hugged her and scolded her.

"You idiot, wait till I take you out!"

At that time, she was so aggrieved that she cried, thinking to herself, what right did she have to scold her! But she was right to scold her.

She was indeed afraid, and would cry silently when she was bullied. She wanted to fight back, but she was always worried about it, and it even became a knot in her heart that could not be untied.

"Okay, what's your name?"

"I am Shao Shuxuan."

"Huh? What a coincidence, my name is Shao Shuxuan. We are really destined to be together."

At that time, she was so dizzy from the fever that she didn't realize there was anything wrong.

"Forget it, I'm A Shu, it's easier to tell."

"good."

There are often bodyless spirits living inside the bodies of ghosts and Buddhas, and in these perennially dark caves, demonic energy often gathers.

She was frail and was infected with demonic and evil spirits, which entered her body. In addition, the grievances and bullying she suffered in her daily life had been pent up in her heart, causing her soul to separate into Ah Shu.

Ah Shu was very powerful. He absorbed the evil spirit and demonic energy that wanted to occupy her, refined it, and made it his own.

At that time, she felt more and more uncomfortable, she could hardly breathe, and her whole body was shaking.

Ah Shu kept talking in her ear.

"You idiot! Hold on! Don't die!"

Shao Shuxuan listened to it. After all, this was what he hoped for in his heart.

Even though it was cold, even though he was holding her in a soul-like manner, she still remembered what Ah Shu said.

"You exist and become me. Go to sleep. I will take you out and hand over the control of your body to me."

For some reason, her words seemed to have magic, making Shao Shuxuan feel at ease.

"Okay, Ah Shu..."

She fell into a deep sleep, and the next morning, when she felt warm all over, she realized that she had come out and was lying not far from the cave.

She felt very strange, as if she had had a long dream.

By the time she came to her senses, she had already been taken back by the servant who came to look for her and was scolded...

She went back with the slap mark on her face. Her mother just glanced at it, sighed, and then came with hot water to clean her.

"Mother, why do they dislike me so much..."

"Because they don't like your mother, remember, your second aunt."

"yes."

Shao Shuxuan often thought that the night before the ghost Buddha was a dream he had.

But many times, she can talk to Ah Shu.

Ah Shu is very cold, but she will remember every person who bullied her.

Occasionally when she was bullied, Ah Shu would stand up and retaliate against the bully, and then she would be punished by the mistress to kneel in the ancestral hall.

As for the things that were confiscated, Ah Shuxiao would argue with reason to get them back, but usually, he failed to get them back.

Ah Shu didn't control the body for long, and every time she acted impulsively, Shao Shuxuan was punished.

But she had no complaints about this, after all, Ah Shu was standing up for her.

But Ah Shu would blame himself, and would awkwardly ask her if it hurt, saying that he would not be impulsive again.

Shao Shuxuan looked at Ah Shu, who looked just like him, with tears welling up in his eyes.

"I'm good, Ah Shu, of course it hurts, but we have the strength to take revenge soon, right? We still remember all these grudges."
