After the halo of the heroine was taken away, I was reborn

Gu Liuying left and got on the bus that had just arrived.

She did not go back to see her family members who were still waiting for the bus at the station.

Because they no longer belong to themselves.

The bus with New Year candy advertisements slowly left the platform.

Kong Qi on the platform was originally humming with his headphones on, but he stopped everything unconsciously the moment the car started.

Her hearing, vision, and perception were slowed down at this moment, but the middle-aged woman in black cotton-padded clothes sitting by the car window seemed to be the only color in the world, deeply attracting her.

Kong Qi saw clearly that resolute face covered with wind and frost, and her heart was shaken, feeling an indescribable heartache and sadness.

At this moment, the woman in the car seemed to feel something and turned her head and smiled at her.

In just a short moment, the car left and everything turned into dust.

"Xiaoqian, Xiaoqian, what's wrong with you?"

Kong Qi's mother held her daughter's shoulders and shook her in panic.

Kong Qi came back to her senses and found that her face was itchy. She wiped it with her hand and it turned out to be tears.

She cried.

Kong Qi said: "Mom, I just felt a little uncomfortable."

Yes, it's very, very uncomfortable.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I'm fine..."

I'm fine, very good, and my current life is really good.

…

winter.

South Bay Prison.

Beside the heavy wall, a small iron door symbolizing "rebirth" made a sound and then slowly opened.

"Don't forget the experience here, and live a good life after you go out..."

The prison guard guarding the door warned him a thousand times. Lu Zhen nodded and crossed the threshold with her bag.

Finally we came out. The scenery outside was so beautiful and the air was so sweet.

Lu Zhen took a deep breath and enjoyed this moment of freedom.

He stood at the door and looked around to make sure that no one came to pick him up or that no one was waiting for him to be released from prison.

Time has forgotten many things, including him.

Of course, the main reason is that he did not inform his mother about his release from prison in advance, otherwise, she would have come over.

However, it's not necessary, it's really not necessary. My father is no longer here, my mother is old and needs someone to take care of her, and it's not suitable to travel for a long time. My sister has her own work to be busy with. She has already called to express her apology.

Lu Zhen knew from the beginning that no one would come to pick him up, so he was not disappointed or sad. He accepted it all rationally and calmly.

Lu Zhen took the release letter in his hand and left the island by boat with the prison guards who took him away.

The prison guard just sent the person to the shore, then waved his hand and said: "Go to the town over there to find a car to go to the city. If you don't understand, just ask someone."

This seaside town is very remote, on the edge of a county below Nancheng, and the transportation is not very convenient.

Lu Zhen nodded and said thank you politely.

He doesn't need to ask, he knows how to leave here and return to Nancheng where he wants to go.

He has imagined this road hundreds, thousands of times in his mind.

Lu Zhen carried her bag and prepared to walk to town. As it was approaching noon, there were not many people on the road, let alone a car pulling people there.

But Lu Zhen was lucky. After walking for a while, she met a three-wheeled motorcycle that led people on a country road.

Lu Zhen waved to the driver and asked, "Are you going to town?"

"One dollar."

The driver's voice was a little rough and hoarse, as if he had a bad cold and hadn't fully recovered yet.

She stopped the three-wheeled motorcycle, arranged the plastic sheet in front of the car to block the wind, and motioned for Lu Zhen to get on the car.

She was a female driver. Although her windproof mask and big black scarf covered most of her face, Lu Zhen could still tell that she was a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties.

It's very hard for a woman to be soliciting customers outside on such a cold day, Lu Zhen lamented.

Because it was winter, thick windproof curtains were hung on the carriages.

Lu Zhen got in the car and found no one inside.

The driver in front asked him, "Where do you want to get off in town?"

Lu Zhen: "Can you take me to the station?"

"Can."

Very authentic local accent.

Lu Zhen put her bag next to her. The car moved. The chassis was unstable, shaking violently, and the noise was very loud.

After a brief rest, Lu Zhen looked at the small carriage.

Ordinary, rusty three-wheeled motorcycles can be seen everywhere on the roads in villages and towns today, but for him, this is a new thing. After all, in the missing eighteen years, he has never seen it, let alone experienced it.

Pass.

He did sit there in his previous life, but it had been so long that he no longer remembered it.

Lu Zhen asked: "Master, how long does it take to get to town?"

The person in front replied: "Half an hour."

Does it take so long?

According to Lu Zhen’s understanding, it only takes ten minutes to get there by car!

Maybe this motorcycle is slow?

Lu Zhen didn't take it seriously, as long as she could get there anyway.

It was at this moment that he discovered a small incense burner in the corner of the carriage.

The incense burner was only the size of a baby's fist, and it was packed in a small open cardboard box and was emitting wisps of green smoke.

If it was summer, Lu Zhen would think this was used to repel mosquitoes.

But why would you order something like this in the middle of winter?

And, more importantly, he didn't smell any fragrance. What was burning inside was definitely a colorless and odorless spice.

Lu Zhen's heart suddenly jumped, and he immediately opened the windshield curtain and asked the person in front of him, "Master, what kind of incense are you lighting in your car?"

"Scent?" the female driver said, "That's not a fragrance, that's medicine."

"What medicine."

"Drug."

The two were silent for a brief moment, and then the person in front burst into hearty and crazy laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Her voice was no longer hoarse and dull, and Lu Zhen recognized it as Gu Liuying's voice.

"Madman, you madman, stop the car quickly!"

After Lu Zhen was released from prison, he expected to be retaliated against, but he always thought about Ji Shaobei and never thought about Gu Liuying.

To be honest, this woman did not exist in his plans for the future, because he never regarded this silly woman as a rival, but she became the first person to take revenge on him.

Lu Zhen roared, "Gu Liuying, stop the car quickly."

Gu Liuying didn't listen at all and started humming to herself.

Because the carriage was completely wrapped in iron sheets and iron frames, Lu Zhen was sitting in the back and had no way to stop the people in front of her.

He gritted his teeth, spotted a small slope covered with withered grass, put his bag over his head, and jumped down.

The impact of inertia made Lu Zhen lose his balance, and he rolled down the slope to the small ditch below before stopping.

Lu Zhen ignored the pain of being hit by a stone on his waist. He stood up and tried to escape, but when his body turned sideways, he fell down again.

He took Chinese medicine, even though it was only for seven or eight minutes, he still took Chinese medicine.

In just a moment, Lu Zhen broke out in cold sweat.

He clutched at the withered grass beside him, trying to get up, but he couldn't. His head became heavier and heavier, and even his vision was blurred.

Lu Zhen wanted to shout for help, but she opened her mouth but no sound came out, as if she had forgotten the pronunciation of those two words.

At this time, Gu Liuying came down. She hummed a song, took out a shiny short knife from the cotton pad, and approached Lu Zhen.
