Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

After Zhou Xinyue arranged Erdan and Sandan to take care of the lady, she searched left and right in the bushes nearby.

Zhou Xinyue remembered that when she was a child, she went to her grandmother's house with her mother. They took a rural bus. At that time, it was a dirt road and she often got carsick due to the bumpy ride. Her mother often picked a few flowers from the bushes for Zhou Xinyue. Every time Zhou Xinyue smelled the flowers, her carsickness would be greatly relieved.

Zhou Xinyue just didn't remember the name but she remembered the appearance of the flower, pink, with round leaves, small flowers, three or five of them growing together, very low-key little flowers.

Zhou Xinyue bent down, peeled away the grass to see if there was anything there, then ran a few steps forward to look for it. She walked and looked all the way, and unknowingly walked into the depths of the dense forest.

Zhou Xinyue was so absorbed in her search that she didn't realize she was slowly moving away from the convoy.

Zhou Xinyue thought to herself, could it be that this plant didn't exist in the country of Longding? How come she hadn't seen it after searching for so long? It was really strange.

While she was hesitating, Zhou Xinyue suddenly saw something red in the grass. She was overjoyed, thinking it was the wild flower she had been looking forward to. But when she got closer, she saw it was actually a piece of rag with blood drops on it. Zhou Xinyue lowered her head to study it.

The moment Zhou Xinyue lowered her head, an arrow shot over her head and hit a tree in front of her.

Zhou Xinyue only felt a breeze blowing, and before she noticed anything, she suddenly heard a sound from behind. She turned left and saw no one. In an instant, an arrow passed by from the right. Zhou Xinyue felt it was very strange. There was nothing there, so how could there be a strange sound?

Zhou Xinyue turned right and saw no one. She saw an arrow shot from the left in an instant and hit the big tree in front.

Zhou Xinyue looked forward following the sound and saw several arrows hanging on the tree.

Zhou Xinyue's scalp suddenly went numb, and the hairs on her back stood up. She felt something was wrong, and immediately turned around and prepared to run back. At this time, someone in the back said faintly: "He's here!"

At this time, several men in black came running from the left and right rear and cut off Zhou Xinyue's retreat. Zhou Xinyue was so scared that she ran forward.

Zhou Xinyue ran while shouting, "Did you recognize the wrong person? Help!"

Zhou Xinyue didn’t know whether these people heard it or not.

Unexpectedly, her foot hooked and she fell, with countless arrows flying over her head. Zhou Xinyue was very scared and thought: I am definitely finished, I will die here today.

Zhou Xinyue got up, bent her back and ran as fast as she could, running in an S shape, making it impossible for the archers to aim.

The man in black behind was chasing her relentlessly. Zhou Xinyue used to love running to exercise, so her running speed was no problem. She ran forward with all her strength, but her foot slipped and she rolled down the steep slope.

After a while, several men in black were searching carefully. Zhou Xinyue quietly hid from them and retreated backwards. Unexpectedly, she stepped on a dry branch which made a creaking sound. Several men in black immediately ran towards her direction with knives raised.

Zhou Xinyue was shocked. She was exhausted at this moment, with wounds all over her body. Her clothes had been torn by the thorns. She could only stand up again and continue to escape. Due to the dense forest with many trees and bushes, Zhou Xinyue accidentally sprained her foot.

Zhou Xinyue really wanted to die, but her foot twisted and she rolled into a crevice in a hill. In the blink of an eye, several arrows flew over her head. Seeing the man in black coming over immediately, Zhou Xinyue was stuck in the crevice and was in a panic. Suddenly, a big hand covered Zhou Xinyue's mouth and nose, and another big hand hugged her waist and lifted her up with force. She was lifted up like a chicken.

The gap is relatively small, and there are dense bushes outside, so it is not easy to notice the gap from outside.

At this time, Zhou Xinyue was very nervous. She didn't know whether the person behind her had any ill intentions or whether he would kill her. She didn't know anything.

It's just a wild guess. If this person had the intention to kill, he would have done it long ago and would not have waited until now.

At this time, there were about seven or eight men in black wandering outside, and one of them asked, "Where are the people?"

One person replied: "Just now, I saw that guy running here, how come he suddenly disappeared."

Another said: "Idiot, if you can't complete the task, you will all die."

The others said timidly, "Yes, we will search immediately and complete the task."

After saying that, several men in black quickly searched the surroundings.

I don't know how long it was, the sky gradually darkened, and the men in black had not given up yet. They kept searching nearby until it was completely dark. Then they stopped making any sound, as if they had gone to search somewhere farther away.

Zhou Xinyue's heart finally settled down, and she heaved a sigh of relief. While the group of men in black were desperately searching, Zhou Xinyue kept staring outside, not daring to move. She also knew that the person behind her must be the one they wanted to kill, but Zhou Xinyue didn't know why a girl like her would become their target. Could they be bandits?

While Zhou Xinyue was thinking, the hand that was covering her hand and holding her finally loosened.

Zhou Xinyue turned around slowly, and couldn't see clearly who the other person was. The entrance to the cave was narrow, neither too big nor too small, so two people could barely move around.

Zhou Xinyue could probably feel that the other party was relieved and immediately fell back, probably because he was injured.

Zhou Xinyue was scared and immediately stepped back and sat down in another place in the cave, trying to stay away from that person. It was dark in here and who knew who this person was. What if he tried to molest her in the dark? She would not dare to shout and would be powerless to resist.

Zhou Xinyue stared at the person opposite her. Although there was a faint moonlight tonight, she couldn't see much in the cave. In order to prevent the other party from doing anything wrong, Zhou Xinyue could only endure it and at least wait until dawn.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Xinyue woke up wiping her saliva from her sleep, feeling pain all over. This guy was already weak, and she ran so hard yesterday that she got scratches all over her body and twisted her foot. She was speechless. After this incident was over, she would work hard to exercise and improve her physical fitness.

Zhou Xinyue twisted her neck and shoulders, feeling pain all over. Only then did she look at the big man who covered her mouth yesterday.

This is not a big man at all, he is actually a handsome guy. Looking at this guy from a modern perspective, he is definitely a handsome guy, with very fair skin, sword-like eyebrows, high nose, picturesque features, and delicate facial features, like a boy who walked out of a painting. A few strands of black hair on his forehead flutter in the wind, but his lips are a little dark, as if he was poisoned.

Looking again, she saw a black wound on his left shoulder. Zhou Xinyue quickly stopped being obsessed with him and crawled over to take a look. Indeed, there was a poisonous arrow still in his body.

Zhou Xinyue thought, this is bad, her lips have turned black, I'm afraid that soon the poison will go into her heart through her meridians and it will be the end of her. Zhou Xinyue suddenly remembered that her grandmother was a witch doctor from the Tujia ethnic minority in the mountains of Guizhou, and she had often taught her some medical skills in the village since she was a child.

In the past, I only thought that I would go to college, work after college, or continue my studies, or get married and have children. Those folk medical skills, especially the strange medical skills in the village, were useless and I never learned them seriously. I only learned a little bit at the strong request of my grandma and mother.

Now it is used. Zhou Xinyue looked at the wound. Fortunately it was not deep and the arrow head could be seen. The arrow body might have been chopped off by this young man.

Zhou Xinyue observed the wound for a while before she realized that the clothes he was wearing were exactly the same as hers.
