[Falling off the cliff. A thread between life and death.]
” Ling’er, brother remember, I will never say it.”
Zi Xuan pondered for a moment, then said: “Ling’er, brother has an idea, we wait until your health is better, then let’s leave the village together and live-in other places. What do you say?”
Su ZiShuang’s eyes lit up and said, “Okay, let’s live somewhere else.” It is not easy for Zi Xuan to make such a decision, the so-called food is the most important thing for ordinary farmers. Farmland is the most important thing for ordinary farmers. The farmland and family businesses that the Zi family has cultivated for generations are all nearby. If they leave, they will become refugees outside and life will be extremely difficult. Zi Xuan decided to leave the village because of his sister’s safety.
Since the accident two years ago, Zi Xuan has already seen through the descent of the world. If he continues to stay in this village in the future, he can’t guarantee his family safety, even his life will be difficult to preserve.
And Su ZiShuang simply agreed, because she remembered a lot of opportunities in the book. As long as she leaves this village, her destiny will be rewritten. At that time, she will find a way to find a chance, not only can she have a good time, hers and her brother safety could be secure.
This village called Mei Lin Zhuang was like a cage and staying here made Su ZiShuang breathless.
“In any case, I must get rid of the fate that the author arranged, I really want to curse you a hundred times, a hundred times!” Su ZiShuang quietly put up a middle finger and sent out complaints to an unscrupulous author who exists in another time and space.
Su ZiShuang talked with Zi Xuan for a while, feeling sleepy, Zi Xuan went back to his room to rest.
Su ZiShuang leaned on the bed alone. This was the first night she came to this life. At this time, it was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the bright moon was shining outside, and the moon was frosty.
Su ZiShuang raised her small face and looked at the dilapidated eaves with a forty-five-degree angle, but she could not help feeling a little melancholy and longing in her heart.
Coming to this world inexplicably, she faced many difficulties as soon as she came. She was just an ordinary student. Although she had fantasized about coming to another world, she realized that she did not want to leave her family at all when the fantasies became a reality.
The night mood was heavy, and Su ZiShuang shed tears silently. While thinking of her family, she gradually got heavy eyelids and fell asleep on her side…
“Krikkkk…”
Su ZiShuang suddenly woke up, the sunlight outside the house shone through the door and window lattice and felt warm. It felt very comfortable.
The crunching sound just made was the sound of Zi Xuan pushing the door and closing it when he went out. There were still tears in the corners of Su ZiShuang’s eyes, and the sun was shining all over, and a lot of the sorrow in her heart dissipated.
Since she has come into this world, she can be at ease and tried to survive. Thinking too much will not change anything.
Su ZiShuang puts on her clothes and stand up. Fortunately, the walls made of mud and soil block the view from the outside. She can lean against the corner of the room and get some sun. Time is like running water, day after day.
After nearly half a month of recuperation, Su ZiShuang’s face also showed a bit of rosy, and gained a little strength on her body. Although the overall appearance is still very thin, she can walk normally, and this is not a small progress.
Zi Xuan went out early and returned late every day. He was busy working. He used his limited wages to buy some eggs and other food to supplement Su ZiShuang’s nutrition. Of course, Zi Xuan didn’t know that the soul in Zi Ling’er’s body was no longer the original one. Zi Ling’er was replaced by a soul from another world. But with the passage of time, Su ZiShuang became more and more nervous, because it was getting closer and closer to the time when the Wang family came to captured her in the book. It was only three to five days at most, and this would happen.
“Is there anyone in the house? This is Aunt Yang, please open the door quickly.” At noon that day, there was a rapid knock on the door.
Su ZiShuang was basking in the sun in the yard. Hearing the knock on the door, she walked into the room with her waist up, then lay on the bed, covering her body with a quilt.
At this time, her uncontrollable heartbeat accelerated.
Aunt Yang kept knocking on the door, and it is very likely that she has already had doubts.
For a long time, Zi Xuan had concealed it from outsiders, and Su ZiShuang had never been out for activities for half a month, so Aunt Yang should not have known it.
But at this time, Zi Xuan must be working outside. Aunt Yang knew this, and still came and knocked on the door. It was obvious that Aunt Yang suspected that Zi Ling’er had regained consciousness.
“Ling’er, are you awake? Don’t be afraid. I am Aunt Yang. Auntie will give you some eggs to help you.” Aunt Yang stood outside the door, shouting loudly.
Aunt Yang has already noticed, what’s going on?
Su Zishuang’s mind was confused, and she remained silent. After a while, she heard the sound of Aunt Yang’s footsteps drifting away. But what Su ZiShuang didn’t know was that Aunt Yang had already rushed towards the Wang family. This day, Su ZiShuang felt very unreliable in her heart, and felt frightened.
When the sky gradually dimmed, there was a strong wind from the horizon, and the sycamore tree leaves in the yard turned yellow and fell, full of depression.
Suddenly, Su ZiShuang heard the noise from the outside, she immediately ran out of the room, came to the wooden door of the yard, and looked forward through the gap.
At a distant intersection, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe walked over. This man had thick eyebrows, a thin face, and a domineering look in his eyes. Behind the middle-aged man, a dozen or so men followed. The servants, all holding sticks, followed by a middle-aged woman next to the middle-aged man, with a sharp-mouthed, and small eyes wandering around very quickly. At first sight, she can know that they are the bad guy.
“If Zi Ling’er is not at home, this master will break your leg, you understand?” the middle-aged man said.
“Third Master, Zi Ling’er must have woken up. Her brother is very happy nowadays. He also bought a lot of new winter clothes for women in the town.” The middle-aged woman said.
Su ZiShuang’s heart was cold, she already knew the identity of the group of people.
The middle-aged man was Wang ZiFeng, the third oldest of the Wang family brothers. He was very domineering. He was a one-man in the village. It was a pity that he gave birth to a stupid son with a muddled mind. And that middle-aged woman was Aunt Yang, and she went to inform them, causing Wang ZiFeng to bring a group of slaves to captured people.
This was a few days earlier than the plot in the book, and Su ZiShuang was caught off guard.
Seeing that gang of murderous men like wolves and tigers was about to rush over, Su ZiShuang was extremely anxious. For now, she had to escape through the back door and ran away.
But, what if her brother Zi Xuan comes back?
Su ZiShuang hesitated, but immediately took the prepared small package from the room and went to the back door. There is a road leading directly to the back mountain from the back door. If she can escape into the back mountain, it will be safe for the time being.
As for Zi Xuan, Su ZiShuang will think about it later.
Originally, Su ZiShuang suggest that they have to leave a few days ago, but Zi Xuan insisted on waiting a few days to settle the monthly wages, and then set off after having money.
Su ZiShuang couldn’t persuade Zi Xuan, so she could only agree. But there seemed to be an invisible hand controlling everything between the heaven and the earth, and what should happen still happened.
Su ZiShuang just opened the back door and walked a long way along the mountain road. From a distance, she could hear the sound of the door being kicked open from behind.
“Zi Ling’er ran from the back door, hurry up and catch up with her, whoever caught Zi Ling’er alive will be rewarded with great rewards.” Wang ZiFeng shouted.
The dozen servants behind were all tall and strong men. At this moment, when they heard that they will be rewarded, all of them screamed and rushed up as if they had taken a spring or medicine.
Although Su ZiShuang had been running along the path of the back mountain, and the strong men behind were still far away from her, with her already thin body, it was a matter of time for an eleven or twelve-year-old girl to be overtaken.
“The only way to survive is to follow the plot in the book.” Su ZiShuang bit her lip, her eyes flashing firm.
According to the plot in the book, Zi Ling’er was forced by Wang ZiFeng’s silly son to escape in the second half of the night after the rape and ran towards the back mountain in the dark.
Because it was the latter half of the night, the Wangs were negligent and allowed Zi Ling’er to escape successfully. But later, the Wang family found out that Zi Ling’er panicked and fell off the cliff.
The people of the Wang family thought that Zi Ling’er was dead, but they didn’t know that Zi Ling’er had survived and encountered a key opportunity to start the path of immortality.
Su ZiShuang ran along the rugged mountain road, accidentally kicked a stone, and fell to the ground, rolling a few times. Su ZiShuang immediately got up from the ground, accidentally cut her palm with a stone, and blood flowed out, Su ZiShuang endured the pain and continued to run forward.
After a while, Su ZiShuang has seen the clouds rising in the front, and as long as she run forward, she can reach the cliff and at this time, those fine and strong men were also chasing up, the Third Master, Wang ZiFeng quickly followed from behind.
“Zi Ling’er, stop quickly, as long as you are willing to marry into our family, you will have endless glory and wealth in the future.” Seeing Zi Ling’er rushing to the cliff, Wang ZiFeng had to say something to comfort her, after all, he wanted a living Zi Ling’er, for his silly son. If Zi Ling’er dies, he will be beaten up and there will be nothing left.
Su ZiShuang had already retreated to the edge of the cliff and glanced sideways. The clouds and mist were lingering below, and her eyes could only see for a short distance. The visibility was very low, and her heart was beating rapidly.
In the book, Zi Ling’er fell unintentionally to get rid of the difficulties. But Su ZiShuang was not sure at all, if she jumped down, she would fall directly into the deep valley.
This deep valley is very mysterious. It is said that there are terrible demons and monsters in the valley. No one in the village dares to go deep into the valley.
T/S: I feel quite sad that she left her brother tho. He is such a nice brother but we will see if they will meet again in the future.
