Chapter 1Chapter 1 Lying on the board

"Pinch her mouth, and I'll drink it for her!" The man's voice threatened fiercely: "Damn girl, if you don't get better, don't blame me for throwing you away!"

  Xiao Xiaomi In a daze, I felt that my chin was being pinched hard, and my mouth opened involuntarily, and then a medicine that was so painful that it made me question my life was poured into my mouth.

  Xiao Xiao suspected that someone was trying to poison her. She opened her eyes and saw a tall, middle-aged man with an unshaven face. Before she could save herself and resist, a lot of unfamiliar news poured into her mind, causing her to faint again.

  When Xiao Xiao opened her eyes again, she woke up from hunger.

  In the pale moonlight, she found herself lying on the wooden board.

  Could it be that arrangements have been made to lie down and be buried in a mountain?

  Although she was top-heavy and weak, she still felt that she could save her again. After struggling to get up, she stepped on 'Cotton'.

  "Ouch!" Xiao Xiu screamed in pain, then lowered his voice, unable to hide his surprise: "Little sister, you're awake!"

  Xiao Xiu touched her back first, and realized that the sweat had soaked her clothes, so she lit it with a fire stick Oil lamp: "You will be fine if you sweat. Sister, I will bring you hot water to wipe it off, and drink some gruel!" She

  vomited out the medicine she had poured in earlier, and the little girl seemed to have lost her breath, and her face was gloomy. It was so scary that she thought she was going to lose her sister.

  Later, my father gave me some medicine again. Unexpectedly, I didn't vomit this time. Now I was sweating again and I looked a little more alive.

  Xiao Xiao sat on the wooden board, breathing the fresh air and sorting out the information in his mind.

  The biological father of the owner of this body, Xiao Youfu, was a casino watcher in Yi'an County, Yuzhang Province, commonly known as a gangster and a thug.

  My mother, Liu Shi Mingyue, was originally the daughter of a scholar in the county. Unfortunately, my brother wanted to make a fortune through gambling, but he didn't have the chance to get rich suddenly.

  When the loan shark he borrowed came to his door, his father was so angry that he went to heaven.

  Xiao Youfu, who happened to be leading a team to collect the debt, fell in love with the delicate and delicate Liu Mingyue, so his brother paid off the debt.

  Therefore, it is true that nine times out of ten bets, one loses, and one can enjoy the feeling of losing everything.

  Originally, Liu's father had planned to give his daughter to his son who had passed the Tongsheng examination in the same year.

  Compared with the elegant and elegant scholar, Xiao Youfu, a tall and rough man, has no place to trim his bones and have plastic surgery.

  Unfortunately, Mrs. Liu's biological father drove away from Hexi, and her biological mother was so angry that she fell on the bed. Her little arms could not hold up her thighs, so she was forced to marry him home by Xiao Youfu.

  After giving birth to three daughters in a row, Xiao Youfu of course still wanted a son. Unfortunately, after trying hard for several years, there was no good news.

  Seeing that Ms. Liu was still lukewarm towards him, and even caught her talking to a scholar who had discussed marriage, he also got angry and fell in love with a young and beautiful widow.

  When Ms. Liu found out, she was so angry and embarrassed that she simply took her three daughters back to her hometown in the countryside and stayed out of sight.

  Xiao Youfu couldn't persuade him to go back after several attempts, and he could only come back every ten days and a half.

  Unexpectedly, there was too much rain this year, and the plague that came from nowhere also came to join in the fun.

  People today are as afraid of the plague as a tiger.

  After the incident, several villages where the disease occurred were sealed off. Officers and soldiers were guarding outside. People outside were not allowed to enter, and people inside were not allowed to leave.

  When we return to the countryside from the county seat, we are surrounded by mountains on three sides and a reservoir on one side.

  Come to think of it, there is only one mountain road and one dock.

  Therefore, if there is an epidemic here, the officers and soldiers can just stay at the outer end of the reservoir.

  Because it was easy to defend and difficult to get out, the county magistrate simply drove in more than a hundred people who were infected or suspected of being infected with the disease from the county town and other villages and towns.

  The people who originally lived in Shangchen Village on the outermost side were so frightened that they all retreated to Xiahuang Village and Linkou Village in the back.

  Xiao Youfu came back quietly in a boat the night before in the pouring rain. He even found a way out and bought six pairs of medicinal materials for treating fever from the medical center at a high price.     The epidemic started with fever, and the doctor insisted that his medicine could cure the epidemic.

  In fact, it was fortunate that he came back with the medicinal materials.

  When he returned home, he found out that both Liu and Xiao Xiao had been having fever for three days.

  Now the eldest daughter Xiao Xiu takes care of the younger daughter Xiao Xiao, Xiao Youfu takes care of Liu herself, and the second daughter Xiao Lian is in charge of the kitchen, making porridge, boiling water, cooking and washing.

  Xiao Xiao had a splitting headache and was still weak, so she could only let Xiao Xiu clean her body, change her clothes, drink another bowl of porridge and a bowl of medicine, and then she was arranged to lie down on the bed again.

  Phew, it's not a plank, it's a simple wooden frame bed.

  Xiao Youfu, who had been having trouble sleeping, heard the commotion and came in. When his eldest daughter said that the younger daughter could drink the medicine and eat porridge without vomiting, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Your mother is feeling better too. Let's take care of the house tomorrow." Pack up your things and we'll leave tomorrow night."

  Xiao Xiu responded a little nervously: "Okay!"

  She hadn't spent much time with her father in the past few years, so she didn't know what to say.

  But in her heart, she was very happy that her father could come back. Seeing him come back, she felt that she had a backbone.

  When Xiao Xiao saw Xiao Youfu turning around to leave, she endured her headache and asked, "Dad, can people enter the county?"

  She was afraid that the county would become more tightly controlled, so she was inclined to go to Shitan Town to seek refuge with Mr. Xiao and Uncle Xiao. .

  The most important thing is that although Shitan Town is just a town, it is geographically connected in all directions, bordering Zhijiang Yuhang in the east, Nanyue in the south, Sanxiang in the west, and Jingzhou in the north. It is convenient to escape no matter where you go.

  Unfortunately, she was only fifteen years old and didn't know much about these things. If she brought it up rashly, she was afraid that her family would suspect that she knew too much.

  The Wu Kingdom was different from the ancient times she knew. It was said that there was glass, also called colored glaze. She didn't know if it was made by time travellers, or if there were really capable people from ancient times.

  The worst thing is that the female senior who tore out the glass was eventually killed by the powerful adult on the charge that she was possessed by an evil spirit.

  She finally understood what it means to inflict a crime without excuse.

  She just wanted to say, that is not an evil ghost, but an unlucky ghost.

  She must have learned a lesson.

  Xiao Youfu was immediately flattered.

  Maybe it was because a few years ago, his youngest daughter saw him dragging Mrs. Liu back to her room. The younger daughter thought that she had bullied Mrs. Liu and drove her away with tears.

  He couldn't explain to his little daughter that he was 'bullying' Ms. Liu, which was perfectly justified.

  What's even more regrettable is that she didn't know that Liu was pregnant three years ago. After they got together, Liu suffered a miscarriage and became ill.

  The youngest daughter, Lianniang, was deeply afraid that Mrs. Liu was gone. When she saw her again, she would not be angry with her, but would be like a red-eyed bullfight, wishing to fight her to the death.

  Turning a blind eye to him is considered good treatment.

  In the blink of an eye, it has been three years since I heard my little daughter call me daddy.

  He felt in his heart that his daughter was frightened and became sensible.

  Now that the youngest daughter asked this question, she thought she was scared, so she comforted her: "Don't be afraid, mistress, daddy has a way to take you in."

  Then he urged them: "Where is Cai Yinshi? You go to bed quickly!"

"Really? Or is it because last night affected you so much that you couldn't stand being around me?" "Don't flatter yourself, Snow. You didn't affect me at all." He smirked, stepping closer. "Is that so?" His fingers brushed my chin, tilting my face up. My pulse quickened. "We're at work," I snapped, swatting his hand away. "This isn't professional." "You're my wife," he murmured. "You're supposed to obey me at all times." I bit back a retort, a hint of rebellion flaring within. Slowly, I stepped closer, letting my fingers graze his chest. His smirk wavered for a second when his wolf reacted and Snow bit his lips. "Careful, Boss," I purred seductively. "Don't hurt those lips. I'm sure plenty of girls would love to kiss them." Snow leaned down, his lips brushing my ear. "And you? Are you dying for a taste?" Caught off guard, I hesitated, then regained my composure as I looked him in the eyes. "Unlike other girls, I have strong resistance against—" I didn't get a chance to finish when Snow's lips crashed onto mine with a fierce kiss that left me breathless. *************** MATURE CONTENT Participating in the Viral Book Call Contest.
