Chapter 2 - Reborn (1/2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Shuikou Village of Fujun Town was a village stationed by an army unit in the depths of the mountains. During the midnights of these numerous days, the villagers of Shuikou Village could vaguely hear trucks rumbling, when the military trucks drove by the road before the entrance to the village.

At two o’clock in the morning, the villagers were sound asleep, and they wouldn’t get up when they heard the sounds.

Even if somebody did wake up, they would not turn on the lights until the sounds were gone.

As the village leader had said, if anyone broke the rules, the road subsidized and built by the country would be cut off!

And those who had broken the rules would be imprisoned for life!

Ye Jian had been awake for a long time. When the sounds of military trucks vanished, she overcame her headache and got up from her bed. As she turned on the flashlight, the rays shone on the wall with a calendar hanging on it.

As it turned out, she was not dreaming. She could still open her eyes and see the sun tomorrow.

As it turned out, instead of dying miserably, by the grace of her life, she was to grow through sufferings, and her destiny had arranged her to be reborn through ashes!

Time ticked away. By six o’clock in the morning, smoke had already been spiraling out from the kitchen chimneys in Shuikou Village. Bathed in the morning sun, the mountain village was home to luxurious green trees and flowing streams.

Outside the windows, swallows perched on cables, chirping merrily.

Through the mist, the crystal clean morning sun rays sprayed softly on the branches, on which the flowers bloomed vibrantly.

Against the tender and green shoots, the flowers on the branches seemed even more delicate and lovely.

Though she could once again witness the return of swallows and blossoming flowers in the warm spring, she was in a completely different situation now.

After waking up during the night, Ye Jian slept no more. Looking at the girl talking relentlessly beside her bed, she squinted her pitch-black eyes subtly.

The girl in front of Ye Jian had red lips and white teeth, and her black hair was braided and dropped neatly onto her shoulder.
