Especially on Nini's birthday every year, she simply can't close her eyes.
All night long, all she could think about was Nini circling around her, calling her "Mommy."
"Mom, I want to eat cake."
"The dress Mom bought for Nini is so pretty."
"Mom, doesn't Nini look like Snow White?"
"Mommy, Nini loves you the most."
"Mother……"
She had missed those calls of "Mom" for eight whole years!
Lost in thought, Zhou Chunhua was awakened by the sound of crying.
"No! Mom! I won't leave! I won't go anywhere! I want to stay with you!"
That cry of "Mom!" struck Zhou Chunhua like a bolt from the blue.
She watched as her daughter acted coquettishly towards a strange woman, calling her "Mom"...
In an instant, Zhou Chunhua felt that even breathing had become difficult.
It felt as if an invisible hand was gripping her neck.
"Ni...I...I am...your...Mom..." She reached out her hand and squatted down, just like when she was little. Then she waited for her daughter to rush into her arms and act cute.
However, when Nini saw her bloodstained hands, she burst into tears and hid behind the woman again.
"Mom! I'm scared!"
She longed to rush up to her daughter, hug her tightly, and comfort her, telling her not to be afraid, that her mother was there and that she had nothing to fear.
But the person holding her daughter at that moment wasn't her, but someone else!
Tears welled up uncontrollably and spilled from her eyes, eagerly escaping her eye sockets.
Just like Nini who had just fled from her, she slid down without the slightest hesitation.
"Girl!" the woman holding Nini hissed, "Listen to me! I'm not your mother! You were kidnapped!"
After saying that, the woman forcibly turned Nini to face her, pointed at her and said, "She, she's your mother!"
With tears streaming down her face, Zhou Chunhua nodded repeatedly: "Nini, I am your mother. Come here to Mommy, Mommy will take you home."
"No! I don't know her! Mom! Don't you want me anymore? Mom, please don't abandon me! I'll be good and won't make you angry. Please don't abandon me! Please don't give me to a stranger!"
Each "Mom" and each "Stranger" was like a knife, stabbing deeply into Zhou Chunhua's heart time and time again.
In a mere instant, her heart was already riddled with holes.
It hurts! It hurts so much!
Even the pain during childbirth is less than one percent of what I feel now.
That was clearly her daughter! Her life! Her flesh and blood, which she carried for ten months!
“Nini, I am your mother.” She tried to communicate with her daughter again.
However, her response was: "No! You're not! You're not my mom! My mom is right here! You're a liar! You're trying to trick me into going! I won't go! I'd rather die here than go with you!"
Seeing her daughter yelling at her, Zhou Chunhua felt a blur before her eyes and almost collapsed.
Her vision became so blurred that she could no longer see anything around her, and she also lost her hearing.
Zhou Chunhua felt her body swaying and that she would fall down in the next second.
She kept telling herself, "Stand firm! Don't fall!"
This isn't Nini's fault! She was too young when she was abducted here, and it's normal that she doesn't remember her after all these years.
All of this is Huang Er's fault, Huang Jiabao's fault, Wu Hao's fault... it's Su Mu's fault!
Yes! She hasn't settled this score with Su Mu yet!
Suddenly, someone grabbed her hand, and then a small, thin hand landed in her palm, and she regained consciousness.
Right in front of her, the woman was pressing Nini's hand firmly into her palm.
He grabbed Nini and yelled, "Go with her! Do you hear me? Go with her! Remember, she's your mother! From now on, listen to your mother and never leave her side again!"
"No!" Nini struggled to pull her hand away.
She grabbed the small hand tightly and pulled the person into her arms.
Although she didn't know what time it was, she knew she couldn't linger here any longer.
If other villagers discover what's going on here, all her previous efforts will be in vain.
At that point, let alone leaving, it might not even be possible to survive.
With a determined effort, he hoisted Nini onto his shoulder.
Nini is now twelve years old; she's no longer that tiny little thing.
It's practically impossible to carry someone away by hugging them, so the only option is to carry them on your back.
She glanced at the woman in front of her, then picked up Nini and started walking towards the iron gate.
However, she nearly fell backward after taking just one step.
It turned out that Nini was holding onto that woman's hand tightly and wouldn't let go.
Zhou Chunhua glanced at the sky, which was already beginning to lighten...
She turned to the woman and asked, "Are you Wu Tianqi's wife?"
Judging from her age, she should be Wu Tianqi's wife.
The old woman standing motionless in the distance, with no life in her eyes, is most likely Wu Hao's wife.
The woman nodded.
"Didn't you say that if they die, you'll be buried with them? Do you want to leave? We'll leave together," Zhou Chunhua said seriously.
Time is running out for her.
If she can't leave while the game is running, she might not be able to leave after dawn.
She finally found Nini, and she had to leave this place alive.
"I...you...you're willing to take me with you?" The woman looked at her with teary eyes.
Zhou Chunhua nodded.
"Thank you! I, I..." The woman hurriedly pointed to the house not far away: "Can my son come with me?"
