Hua Rou woke up.

  Her consciousness was wrapped in desperate pain a second ago, and this second, she is confused to survive.

  She sat up, because the rope had broken, and she was no longer powerless to resist.

  She pulled out the cloth from her mouth, gasping for air, and the sharp pain in her throat made her cough uncontrollably. She was dazed and helpless, subconsciously crawling out of the coffin...

  "Ah!" Among a heap of dead snakes, three corpses were lying on their backs, one of whom was the sorcerer who had tried to bury her alive!

  Frightened and weak, Hua Rou's body went limp in the coffin. She didn't understand why these three people were also dead, but soon she realized that she couldn't stay here.

  She stumbled out of the coffin, covered in bloodstains, and fled from here in a panic...

  Hua Rou rushed desperately towards home in the morning.

  She was flustered and frightened, breathing rapidly, and her footsteps were even more unsteady.

  In the darkness, she couldn't see the road under her feet, and she fell down again and again. But she didn't even dare to cry out in pain, for fear that someone would emerge, cold-blooded and cruel, and send her back to the grave once more.

  Fortunately, it was late at night and the entire village had already closed its doors with no one wandering around. She stumbled into her home's small courtyard through the back door.

  As soon as she closed the door, she couldn't help but kneel down and vomit.

  Her body was trembling, her heart was racing, and her internal organs were churning with nausea! She truly felt the difference between life and death, and even more so, what it means to be helpless.

  "Wow..." She burst into tears uncontrollably.

  Her parents died, and she was treated as an evil spirit by others. She was buried alive, bitten by snakes, her body and mind were full of wounds, those different pains tore at her consciousness...

  However, at this moment, she smelled a pungent smell of fireworks, got up and raised her head to see that there was black smoke rolling in the sky above the front yard...

  "Dad! Mom!" Hua Rou didn't care about being scared, she propped herself up and rushed to the front yard. Her parents' and relatives' corpses were all in the front yard!

  Hua Rou rushed into the front yard and saw flames shooting up into the sky.

  Hua Rou rushed to her father's corpse and dragged it into the house.

  Sweat, tears and blood were all dripping down as she gritted her teeth and pulled with all her might, using up every last bit of strength to finally lay Father's body alongside Mother's.

  Hua Ruo collapsed in front of her parents' corpses, at this moment, she didn't know what else she could do.

  In the courtyard, flames were ravaging her home.

  Hua Rou stretched out her hands and hugged her parents tightly, tears streaming down her face as she looked at them silently.

  She remembered when she was a child, in this very courtyard, her mother taught her how to weave rabbits with straw and fold grasshoppers, while her father dried medicinal herbs on the side. Occasionally, their eyes would meet, and they would all smile sweetly.

  But...

  The flower gently wept and lowered its head: Such a joyful gathering will never happen again...

  Hua Rou resignedly closed her eyes, giving up on escaping. She had planned to accompany her family like this, but she suddenly remembered what happened last night...

  She sat at the corner of the bed sobbing, but her mother pulled up her hand.

  "Xiao Rou, don't cry anymore, it's better if you get married early..."

  "Mother, what's going on? Why am I being married off tomorrow?"

  Her mother didn't answer her question, but instead squeezed her hand tightly and said, "Listen carefully, Xiao Rou. In the south wall of the woodshed in our backyard, there's a hole where I've kept something precious and my savings."

  She didn't understand, she was confused, why did her mother say this to her?

  "If one day, your parents are not by your side, and you... have no one to rely on, just remember to take the things inside and leave this place, find a distant place to live out your days... but you must remember! No matter what happens, this life cannot go to Shu land! Moreover... stay far away from a place called Tangmen, and live a good life."

  Live well.

  Live well!

  Hua Rou opened his eyes and looked at the corpses of his parents, then at the burning courtyard wall. He got up and headed towards the woodshed.

  In her mother's bequeathed place, Hua Rou rummaged out a package. She quickly opened it and found two sets of clothes and a lacquer box inside.

  Flint, a bag of iron coins, half a beaded hairpin, a dagger, and an embroidered waistband.

  This...

  Hua Rou looked at the things inside the lacquer box with some confusion, but soon she picked up her waistband. Because what you are looking at now is only half of Chapter 4 of "Tangmen Du Zong", to read the full version please search on Baidu: () and then search again: Tangmen Du Zong
