NOVEL WEB Chapter 1 Uncle is here!
Afternoon in Anping Mansion
A piercing scream broke the tranquility of a certain mansion, and then several maids and women screamed in panic, and a corner of the mansion suddenly became noisy.
"Someone is coming!"
"Help!"
"Aunt Liu has had a miscarriage!"
"Go and report to the madam quickly, and find someone to inform the master!"
Along with the moaning, a wet red appeared on the skirt of the fallen woman.
A stout woman grabbed the little girl next to her and said, "You actually hit Aunt Liu on purpose and caused her to have a miscarriage! I must report it to you, madam, sir!"
The madam came quickly, covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and ordered, "Bring Aunt Liu into the house quickly!"
Not long after, the doctor arrived, and the young man called the master back.
"What's going on!" Ji Zhong hurried back and saw the little girl kneeling at the door, shivering from the cold, and kicked her down, "Nie Zhan, it's you who caused the trouble again!"
His little body was kicked and rolled around, and he lay on the ground and could hardly get up, but he did not cry and beg for mercy, as if what he was experiencing was the most ordinary thing.
"Master!" Madam stood up.
Ji Zhong hurried past his wife and rushed to the bedside, "Guier, how are you?"
The veil in the lady's hand tightened suddenly, and then she lowered her head to cover the sneer at the corner of her mouth.
At this time, the doctor also finished taking his pulse, stood up, shook his head and said, "The child can't be saved."
Lying on the bed, Aunt Liu's face was pale, her lips were bloodless, and she shed two lines of tears weakly, "Master, our flesh and blood..."
"I can have more children, look how pale you are." Ji Zhong said sadly, about to touch Aunt Liu's face.
Aunt Liu was shocked and quickly avoided Ji Zhong's hand, "Master, don't..."
"Master, Aunt Liu has just lost her child and is very weak. She still needs to rest more." Madam interrupted at the side.
"What's going on?" Ji Zhong stood up and said angrily, "Fugui said it was that little scoundrel who did it?"
"Master, please don't be angry, she didn't mean it." The eldest lady said slowly, "The servants reported that she went to Aunt Liu's place to steal things, and happened to meet Aunt Liu out for a walk. In panic, she took Liu My aunt bumped into something. Isn’t this just..."
"Evil! Evil!" Ji Zhong was furious, rushed out and kicked the little girl at the door again.
If he hadn't been drained by alcohol and sex, he might have kicked the little child to death.
After being kicked a few times, he still couldn't get enough of it, "Here, bring me the whip!"
The martial arts prevailed in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even civil servants kept horses in their homes, and every household had a riding whip.
After getting the whip, Ji Zhong grabbed it and whipped it hard on the child who was lying on the ground and couldn't get up, causing the child to roll all over the ground.
But in just a few moments, traces of blood showed through the thin clothes.
At this time, the lady stood up and pretended to stop her, "Master, if you do this, you will beat the child to death. After all, she is also your daughter."
"What kind of daughter is she? She is just an evil obstacle that harms her father and mother! I have tolerated her for three years. If it were not for that order, I really wish she would die immediately." Ji Zhong was annoyed when he heard this, and he struck a little more cruelly.
He didn't stop until the young body on the ground became motionless.
He was tired after fighting for a long time, panting and said, "Lock her to the woodshed and don't give her food or drink!" Then he strode away.
"Didn't you hear what the master said? Go quickly!"
The two women grabbed the little girl on the ground and left.
"Tsk, tsk, you hit me so hard, what kind of evil did you do?"
"Who made her suffer a bad fate? Her mother is dead, and the eldest lady is a bastard..."
"Hey, let me see, there's a good chance that I won't survive this time."
"If you can't live, you can't live. If you live, you will suffer."
This was not the first time that a child who had been severely beaten was thrown into the straw in the woodshed. Two women who were familiar with the situation barged in the door and left.
That night the cold wind howled and the dark clouds covered the sky, which made people feel heavy in their hearts.
Suddenly, there were several rumbles of thunder, making everyone's hearts jump.
Snow in June and thunder in winter are not good omens.
Ji Zhong had people make ginseng tea and stew chicken soup, and personally fed it into Aunt Liu's mouth one spoon at a time. Suddenly he heard thunder outside, which frightened him and spilled chicken soup on his hands.
While calling for help, he stood up with a sullen face and cursed, "This disaster! It must be her who caused this winter thunder!"
At this time, the disaster star in Ji Zhong's mouth was lying on the straw pile, no longer breathing.
As the thunder rolled, a shadow that looked exactly like the little girl, surrounded by dragon-shaped lightning, was staring blankly, looking left and right.
Amidst the thunder, a whisper seemed to appear in the little girl's ears.
[Why did you come out? 】
[Go back quickly, return to your body! 】
【The calamity of life has passed, all the hardships have ended and the joys have come. 】
The faint murmurs made the helpless little girl gradually calm down and get back in again.
The body that was already frozen stiff gradually gained warmth as it was surrounded by dragon-shaped thunder and lightning, and the internal bleeding internal organs were slowly healing.
The wounds on the body were also healed by a stream of colorful light, and in just a few moments, those wounds had scabbed over.
But in the darkness, no one noticed what happened in the woodshed.
In the darkness, there was still a small army that was marching quickly.
"Dad, there are still dozens of miles to go, and we will arrive just in time at dawn!" A young general in white robes rode forward to report.
"Okay, let's take a short rest and then continue on our way!"
"Great, I'm about to meet my sister!"
General Xue's originally cold face suddenly became even colder when he heard the word sister.
More than ten days ago, a terminally ill old woman came to him and told him that his long-lost sister died in childbirth three years ago, leaving only a daughter. Now she is bullied and abused by the family every day, and asked him to save her life.
He and his sister have been separated for many years, and his search for her is well known. Countless people have recognized him over the years.
But only what this old lady said was reliable, and she also told her that her sister had a red mole behind her ear.
This information was never told even to his wife and children.
In addition, there was a very old wallet that also awakened all his memories.
There were two such purses back then. His one was embroidered with pine trees, and his sister's was embroidered with lotus flowers. Just because their brother and sister's names are Qingsong and Yuhe respectively.
That is undoubtedly his sister!
General Xue couldn't bear the thought of his sister dying at a young age and his niece being bullied and abused.
It took them only ten days to travel from the capital to Anping Prefecture, which was more than half a month. But General Xue was still burned inside and out, for fear that something would happen in the next ten days.
*********
After getting up early in the morning, Ji Zhong went to see Aunt Liu again after washing up. After reading it, he became very angry and asked, "Where is that little bastard?"
Ji Zhong rushed to the woodshed angrily, grabbed the little girl who was unconscious on the straw, and threw her directly into the thick snow outside.
The cold ice and snow made the little girl shiver all over, but her whole body was so hot that she couldn't open her eyes at all.
"You bastard! You slept soundly!" Ji Zhong picked up the thick hemp rope on the side, folded it into several folds, and slapped the little girl on the head and face.
While I was smoking, a boy stumbled over and said, "Master, it's not good! Outside..."
Before the boy finished speaking, the door had been kicked open from the outside, and then a group of dusty soldiers rushed into Ji's house.
The leader was a very tall man. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the little girl who had been whipped in the snow and was covered in blood. He immediately rushed over, kicked Ji Zhong away, and took the little girl into his arms.
The birthmark like a peach blossom petal was faintly visible on the left shoulder where the whipped collar was torn. The man's eyes suddenly filled with tears and he said with a trembling voice:
"Long'er, are you Long'er? Don't be afraid! Uncle is here, no one can bully you anymore!"
The little girl reluctantly opened her eyes and glanced at the tall man in front of her. She felt trustful and close to him for no reason. She fell into the man's arms and completely lost consciousness.
