Gu Lin Huan 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 Xiaoyun and Wang Hongying and jump off the building?

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

How, how is this possible?

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

Gu Lin Huan was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, she rushed crazily towards the wooden table. There was a large mirror in front of the table, and with a single glance, she saw the person in the mirror.

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 and met her bloody corpse.

"No!" Gu Lin let out a happy cry.

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.

It was around 10 o'clock when Lin Susu was hit.

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

Gu Lin's heart thumped wildly as he pushed open the curtain and rushed into the courtyard.

She wanted to go to the county, she wanted to remind Lin Susu, she wanted to hold her back and say to her, "I don't want to reunite with my biological parents, you are my mother that I'll always love the most!"

Gu Lin Huan glanced around and discovered that the courtyard was empty.

This was the Gu Family Village, which was close to the border. It was a particularly remote village, and also a poor and famous village. They had to walk a dozen miles to get to the nearby road before they could take 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 off 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 Lin Huan 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 Lin Huan tried her best to calm down. After thinking for a moment, she lifted her foot and dashed out of the courtyard.

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 temper, they would snatch whatever good stuff their family had. But, her new bike was right here, so they remembered that she borrowed it from him yesterday.

Gu Lin Huan rushed to the bicycle without a second thought 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 Lin Huan. Where are you going?"

This was his aunt's son, Gu Xiaofeng, who was already over 20 years old. Because he was short, ugly and idle, he had never been able to get married. The people of Gu Village had already gotten married early.

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

"You still haven't told me where you're going!" Gu Xiaofeng exhaled a mouthful of smoke, took out the cigarette, and gave Gu Lin Huan a sidelong glance.

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

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

Gu Xiaofeng held a cigarette in one hand while he rummaged in his pocket with the other. He pulled out a bunch of keys. "Here, here. I'd like to take them myself."

Gu Lin Huan rushed over to snatch it, but Gu Xiaofeng suddenly turned his hand and snatched it from behind. Gu Lin Huan did this a few times before stopping and staring angrily at Gu Xiaofeng.

She discovered that Gu Xiaofeng was looking at her rather presumptuously, with a hint of lust in his eyes.

"Lin Huan, speaking of this, you're not a member of our Gu family, right?" Gu Xiaofeng grinned as he suddenly made a move like lightning. He touched Gu Lin Huan's perfectly fine face.

Gu Lin was in an extremely good mood. Gu Xiaofeng knew he was holding the wrong person in his arms.

Gu Lin Huan shivered. She rubbed her hand over the right side of Gu Xiaofeng's face in disgust and said coldly, "Give me the key!"

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

There weren't many people who used a sickle now, but Wang Hongying's yard was a mess. The sickle looked like it had been there for a long time, but the blade still flashed a cold light.

"Lin Huan, your waist is so small. Let big brother hug you …" With that, Gu Xiaofeng wrapped his arms around her.

Disgusting!

Gu Lin Huan had long since been unable to endure it any longer.

She turned around and rushed over. Picking up the sickle, she stretched it out and placed it on Gu Xiaofeng's neck.

"Give me the key!" Gu Lin Huan's eyes were ice-cold. She exerted a little strength, and a red line appeared on Gu Xiaofeng's neck.

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

"Key!" Gu Lin shouted.

Gu Xiaofeng was so frightened that his legs trembled. A fishy smell wafted over.

His pants were wet.

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

Gu Lin Huan grabbed the key, threw the sickle away 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 Xiaofeng sat down on the floor and mumbled, "Madman! "Gu Lin Huan has gone crazy!"

Gu Lin Huan rode very fast, and very soon, she was out of the Gu Family Village and following a small path.

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

Gu Lin Huan desperately pedaled the bicycle. It was July now, and although it was still morning, it was already extremely hot. In just a short while, her hair had been broken and beads of sweat dripped down her cheeks.

His left cheek hurt even more!

Some of the sweat had even covered her eyes, so Gu Linjian simply wiped it off with her arm and continued pedaling with all her might.

She raised her wrist to look at her watch. She had been delayed by Gu Xiaofeng for a while. It was already 8: 30. She really didn't have much time left!

Gu Lin Huan was furious. She exerted all her strength with her legs and the car moved like it was flying.

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

Gu Lin Huan seemed to have gone crazy as she frantically stepped on the bicycle.

Suddenly, with a "kacha" sound, the car's speed gradually slowed down. Gu Linjian's legs no longer had any resistance, and the car pedaled as it slid down.

This is bad!

Gu Lin's heart skipped a beat. He quickly got out of the car and looked down. Sure enough, the car's chain was broken!

It's over!
