Gu Linhuan was woken up by the pain. She rubbed her left cheek and sat up.

Then she saw the small wooden table beside the bed.

Startled, she looked around again.

He found her sitting on a kang with an old flower mattress underneath. The walls were painted white and there was a portrait of a star on the wall.

The wooden table beside the bed was slightly shorter, and a kettle was placed on top of it.

When she looked down again, she saw some potholes on the concrete floor beneath the bed.

This... It was obviously the room she lived in when she was young.

What's going on? Didn't she grab Gu Xiaomian and Wang Hongying and jump off the building with them?

Gu Linhuan got off the bed in a daze. When she raised her head, she saw a calendar on the wall beside the bed: July 10, 20XX.

How, how is this possible?

It was on this day that Lin Susu died. Was she dreaming?

Gu Linhuan was stunned for a moment before she dashed toward the wooden table in a frenzy. There was a large mirror in front of the table, and she was able to see the person in it with a single glance.

It was a fifteen-sixteen year old girl. Her hair was black, her eyes were bright, and she was tall. Only, her left cheek was wrapped in a piece of white gauze.

There was still a hint of red on the gauze.

This was how she looked when she was fifteen!

She clearly remembered that it was on this day that her mother, Lin Susu, went to the county. After that, the next thing she saw was her bloody corpse.

"No!" Gu Linhuan called out.

She lowered her head and snatched up an alarm clock on the table. It said 8: 15.

She raised her hand again and looked at the watch on her right wrist. It was also 8: 15.

Lin Susu was hit about 10 o'clock.

Was this a dream? Even if it was just a dream, she had to stop this tragedy from happening!

Gu Linhuan's heart was thumping hard. She pushed open the curtain and rushed into the yard.

She wanted to go to the county town, she wanted to remind Lin Susu, she wanted to hold her back, she wanted to tell her: "I don't want to reunite with my real parents, you are my mother that I will always love the most!"

Gu Linhuan glanced around and saw that the yard was empty.

This is the Gujia Village, near the border, a particularly remote and well-known village. We have to walk a dozen miles to get to the nearby road before we can catch a bus to the county city!

From here, it would take them about 30 minutes to get to the highway, and another 30 minutes to get to the county city. From there, it would take them around 10 minutes to get out of the car and get to Lin Susu's car accident.

Time was very, very urgent!

She needed to ride her bicycle to the road intersection first!

Gu Linhuan anxiously scanned the courtyard with her eyes. She remembered that a few days ago, Lin Susu had bought her a bicycle to coax her. But, where was the bicycle?

Don't be impatient!

Gu Linhuan tried her best to calm down. After a moment of thought, she dashed out of the yard.

There was another one next to her house. The door was ajar, so she quickly pushed it open. Sure enough, she saw the bike she had just bought in the yard.

This is aunt Wang Hongying's home.

With Wang Hongying's family's personality, they would snatch whatever good stuff their family had. Well, her new bike was right here, so they remembered Gu Xiaomian borrowing it from yesterday.

Without hesitation, Gu Linhuan rushed to the bicycle and pushed it away.

Eh? She didn't move. She looked down and found that it was locked.

With a creak, the door creaked open and a person walked out of the room.

It was a young man, about twenty-two or twenty-three years old. He was short, had a dark, thin face, and the corners of his eyes were drooped. No matter how one looked at him, he was despicable.

He was still holding a cigarette in his mouth as he slowly tightened his belt by pulling up his pants. At the same time, he mumbled a question.

"Hey, it's Linhuan. Where are you going?"

This was his aunt's son, Gu Xiaofu, who was already over twenty years old. Because he was short and ugly, he was idle and could not marry his wife.

"What about the car keys?" Gu Linhuan couldn't be bothered with him and extended her hand to ask.

"You still haven't told me where you're going!" Gu Xiaofu exhaled a mouthful of smoke, took out the cigarette, and looked at Gu Linhuan with a slanted eyes.

"None of your business, hurry up and give me the car keys!" "Don't forget, this is my car!" Gu Linhuan said impatiently.

Her time was short, she didn't have time to waste on him.

Gu Xiaofu held a cigarette in one hand, and with the other, he fished in his pocket. He took out a bunch of keys: "Here, here. Want to take it yourself."

Gu Linhuan rushed over to snatch it, but Gu Xiaofu suddenly turned his hand and dragged it behind him. Gu Linhuan tried to snatch it again, but Gu Linhuan stopped several times and glared at Gu Xiaofu.

She noticed that Gu Xiaofu was looking at her with a more presumptuous gaze, with a trace of lust in his eyes.

"Linhuan, speaking of which, you're not a member of our Gu family, are you?" Gu Xiaofu giggled and suddenly made a move as fast as lightning. He touched Gu Linhuan's perfectly fine cheek.

Gu Linhuan was making a ruckus, and Gu Xiaofu knew he had made a mistake.

Gu Linhuan shivered. She wiped Gu Xiaofu's right cheek with disgust and said coldly, "Give me the key!"

He then slowly scanned the area and found a sickle not far away.

There were few people who used a sickle now, but Wang Hongying's yard was a mess, with everything scattered around. The sickle had been there for a long time, but the blade still flashed with a cold light.

"Linhuan, your waist is so thin. Let your big brother hug you …" With that, Gu Xiaofu wrapped his arms around her.

Disgusting!

Gu Linhuan couldn't hold it in any longer.

She turned around and rushed over. Then, she picked up the sickle and put it on Gu Xiaofu's neck.

"Give me the key!" Gu Linhuan's eyes were cold. With a little force, a red line appeared on Gu Xiaofu's neck.

"Ah, don't... "Don't be reckless!" Gu Xiaofu was so scared that he didn't even dare to move.

"Key!" Gu Linhuan shouted.

Gu Xiaofu was so scared that his legs trembled, and a fishy smell came over.

His pants were wet.

"Here!" Trembling, Gu Xiaofu reached his hand out and took out the key.

Gu Linhuan snatched the key, threw away the sickle, and spat, "Coward!"

He walked to the bike in big strides, turned on the bike, and got on it. He then rode out the door.

Gu Xiaofu sat down on the floor and muttered, "Madman! Gu Linhuan has gone mad! "

Gu Linhuan rode very fast. Very quickly, she left the Gujia Village and followed the path as she rode very quickly.

There weren't many people on the road. Occasionally, they would walk to work in the fields or ride out on bicycles.

Gu Linhuan pedaled with all her might. It was July, and although it was still morning, it was already extremely hot. In just a short while, her hair had been torn apart and beads of sweat dripped down her cheeks.

His left cheek hurt even more!

Gu Linhuan was so drenched in sweat that her eyes almost popped out of their sockets. She simply wiped the sweat off her face with her arm and continued pedaling with all her strength.

She raised her wrist and looked at her watch again. She had been delayed at Gu Xiaofu's place for a while. It was already 8: 30. She really didn't have much time!

Gu Linhuan was furious. She exerted all her strength with her feet, causing the car to fly.

Faster, a little faster, must stop the tragedy from happening, must save mother!

As if she had gone mad, Gu Linhuan stepped on the bicycle crazily.

Suddenly, with a "kacha" sound, the car's speed gradually slowed down. Gu Linhuan's feet had no more resistance. With a "hualala" sound, the car fell down.

This is bad!

Gu Linhuan's heart skipped a beat. She quickly got off the car and looked down. Sure enough, the car's chain was broken!

It's over!
