In July 1974, Xishui Village, Xishan Mountain foot of the Xishui River at Wangdakeng Commune.

Two ragged children were blocking a boy wearing a red, old, tattered shirt. He was thin as a bean sprout but still his handsome features shone through.

Shen Danluo, give me the wild duck eggs you just found!

Little Danluo, 7 years old, clutched two wild duck eggs in her hands and said in a sweet voice: These are for Mama and my younger brother to make up for. You can't have them, Big Flower Sister, Second Flower Sister, you should find some yourselves, okay?

No! 10-year-old Shen Dahua looked at them with disdain, saying that people like those two were not qualified to eat delicious food. Give me the wild duck eggs!

As he spoke, a black, skinny, dirty hand reached out to grab the wild duck egg from Xiaodanluo's hand.

Little Dan was already angry at her mother and brother for scolding her, seeing them still trying to take things from her, of course she wouldn't stand for it, so she ran away.

You little loser, you dare to run?! Shen Dahua saw him run and was so angry that he chased after him, pushing him hard into the small river beside him.

Oh!

Xiaodan never expected that Shen Daflower would be so ruthless today. She was caught off guard and plopped into the water with a splash. The river current was swift, and she was swept far away in no time.

The 8-year-old Shen Erhua was stunned and trembled with fright. Sister, you pushed Danbao down, won't he die?

After pushing the person away, Shen Dahua panicked for a moment, but then she thought about her parents whispering in bed at night, and she was no longer afraid.

My uncle was killed by three unlucky stars, now we won't have any food to eat anymore, so even if I drown, it serves me right!

After finishing, he glared fiercely at his younger sister. He said today's matter must not be spread, or else... you!

Shen Erhua shivered and nodded repeatedly, not daring to look at the river. She took Shen Dahua's hand and said, "Sister, let's go! If someone finds out, it will be bad!"

Shen Dahua, upon hearing this, also ran away, pulling the person along.

As I passed by the foot of the mountain, I almost bumped into a young man carrying firewood down from the mountain.

Shen Dahua saw that the young man looked extremely handsome, she blushed at first, but then remembering this person's status, she spat in disdain and ran away with Shen Erhua.

Even a glance wasn't given to Xiao Nian by the Qinhuai scenery.

With a cold, indifferent expression, he carried a bundle of firewood that was almost too heavy for him on his back as he walked down the path towards the river.

Grandfather fell ill, so he went to see if he could find a few wild duck eggs in the reeds to supplement his diet.

Little did he know that after only a short while, he saw something red floating on the river surface, and he could even hear cries for help.

Help!

Thinking back to the way the two people had just left, Qin Huijing's heart sank. He threw down the firewood, put on his shoes, and shouted loudly, "Come here! Someone has fallen into the water!"

The voice was clear and rang out far. Someone immediately stood up in the distant paddy fields and ran toward them.

Quick, someone fell into the water, hurry and save them!

Ouch, damn it! Who's kid fell into the water again?

I know someone is coming.

Qin Huai Jing took a leap and jumped into the river, quickly swimming towards that wavering little shadow.

The distance was considerable, and by the time he arrived, that crimson silhouette had already sunk silently into stillness.

Qinhuai immediately swam to his back wanting to lift him up, but he was unable to.

A plunge was taken into the water, and it turned out to be the little sister-in-law's foot caught by something black and purple.

He dove down and pulled hard, the thing did come loose, but it tore at his fingertips, and then it snapped back up and slashed his sister-in-law's ankle.

The river water turned crimson in an instant.

Qin Huijing didn't even have time to say much, he pulled the person out of the water and began paddling towards the riverbank with all his might.

At this time, several adults had come down, seeing Qin Huijing and Xiaodanluo floating on the water's surface, they immediately swam over to greet them.

As soon as they reached the shore, the women who had gathered around exclaimed in surprise:

Oh my, isn't this Dan, the young maid from the Shen family? She's usually so well-behaved, how could she have fallen into the water?

Xīshuǐ Village is built beside the river, with half of the village following its course. In hot weather, children often fall into the water every now and then, so the adults have some emergency measures in place.

In a short while, Xiaodan vomited out the water she had swallowed and gradually regained consciousness.

I woke up in a daze, looking at these familiar yet strange faces and the unfamiliar surroundings.

Shen Danluo's big eyes widened in surprise.

Isn't this the day you fell into the water when you were 7?

What is going on? We were all supposed to be gone together with Uncle Er's family. How did we end up back here again?

Could it be that I've been reborn?

Turning her head, she saw a young boy in a **[clothes]** squatting on the side. Shen Danluo was even more surprised.

Isn't this Qin Huai from back then? So it was him who saved her all those years ago?

At that moment, kindhearted Aunt Yu picked up Little Dan Luo and said, "Hurry, hurry, send her back to the Shen family! It's so pitiful."

It's good that he was saved, this Shen Lao just had an accident, if this Dan girl also had an accident, Su Zhiqing wouldn't know if she could get through it!

Shen Danluo's pupils dilated.

Yes, father is dead.

His father, generous in his sacrifice for the country, became a hero, but also marked the beginning of tragedy for his family.

To seize his father's pension and to establish a facade of weakness.

Uncle Two first killed their mother, and then sold his younger sisters and brothers, causing them to suffer and die in a foreign land!

That's a close relative, yet what they did is even more terrifying than the devil!

Thinking of the appearance of her mother and siblings when they died, even though she had avenged them once, Shen Danluo still hated Shen Lao'er's family!

The frail Shen Danluo was carried away.

The crowd dispersed, and the rest seemed not to have noticed the year on the ground, each going about their own business.

The scenery on the Qinhuai River was tranquil as she looked down at the spot where she had been scratched while saving someone earlier. However, she found that there was no scar there.

He narrowed his long, beautiful almond eyes and glanced at Shen Danluo being carried away.

He has good eyesight, he can see clearly even from a distance.

And the little girl's thin, small feet hanging outside were clearly unharmed.

Did I just go blind?

Qin Huijing fell silent for a moment, in the end, he didn't say anything. He carried the bundle of firewood and continued walking towards the reeds.

Yu's big auntie was halfway there when she met Old Madam Shen who rushed up, "Oh, Sister Shen, come here quickly. Take your little Dan back home."

Old Mrs. Shen had heard that her own child had fallen into the water, so she rushed over in a panic.

To my surprise, it turned out to be the brat born from that unlucky git's family in the big house. My face fell and I turned and walked away.

However, as soon as he turned around, his hand was grabbed by a fluffy paw. He looked down and met a pair of bright and excited eyes.

Shen Danluo looked happily at Shen Lao Tai, her little face pale, her voice affectionate. "I miss you so much!"

It's been decades since we last met, I really miss you so much!

Shen Lao Tai: This unlucky child shouldn't have been drowned, right?

Just as I was thinking, a chubby little fellow jumped into my arms and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

Mrs. Shen:!!! Be audacious!
