Abyss of ignorance

Lin Xiaodong looked at the almost complete drawing in front of him. This was the origin of a crime.

He is a materialist, but he has to suspect that there are connections between some things that cannot be explained by science. He cannot be sure whether it is a coincidence or a real causal cycle.

Closing his eyes, he seemed to be able to hear the sound of huge waves lapping at the coast, as if it was a magnificent and cruel movement, telling the cursed fate of a family for hundreds of years.

On the other side of the ocean, an octogenarian was pushed in a wheelchair and boarded a flight to China. This would be a journey of at least fourteen hours. For an old man in his 90s, anything could happen.

Everyone opposed her doing this, and everyone knew that no one could change this stubborn old lady's determination.

Through the small circular glass window, Paula watched the land gradually move away, and the plane entered the sky above the vast sea, heading east. Her name seemed to be changing from Paula back to Shen Pan.

The past, like smoke and clouds in the sky, gradually gathered and was within reach. The moment she touched it, the wrinkles on her face suddenly disappeared, and her young and beautiful face reappeared in the reflection of the glass and the reflection of the river. middle.

This is a small river in Linzhou, so small that only two rowing boats can pass side by side. Rose flowers hang on the shore, as bright as a pink waterfall. When the wind blows, the petals fall on the water and drift with the current.

Young Shen Pan was lying by the window facing the river, looking at the reflection of her face in the water. At 16 years old, she had not yet figured out how to spend the next few decades of her life.

The Jiangnan ditties that can be heard all day long are heard in the ears, Wu Nong's soft words, and the pipa playing lightly, attracting the guests on the boat to stay on the shore, and a piece of happiness can be exchanged for several oceans of business.

Many people think that the so-called top names in the romance field win because of their beauty. Only the experienced madams in this industry know that this is not the case. What is more important than beauty is probably the agility that pleases people.Shen Pan's intelligence is written on her face. Unlike other little girls who were just sold, she had to go through a lot of beatings and torture to be obedient. She was born to be observant of people's words and know how to compromise.She learned those folk arts quickly and mastered them quickly, and quickly established a firm foothold in this place.At that time, she didn't seem to think too much. In such troubled times, it would be good to have something to eat and survive.

However, if destiny is always expected, it cannot be called destiny.

She always remembered that that day, both sides of the river were covered with brand new red lanterns, and a particularly luxurious boat docked below her building.

It's a pity that the people who got off the boat looked no different from the previous guests. Apart from the bright clothes, they were just ordinary people with ordinary appearances.

She didn't know where she got such a noble and critical vision. Fortunately, she was smart enough to hide her disdain and always made her guests feel at home.

This ordinary man likes her, as does the other guests.

However, she didn't expect that this person could get anything in Linzhou, including - her.

It wasn't until the madam came to congratulate her that she knew that the guest who was about the same age as her father was Lu Guangzhong's eldest son, Lu Yaowu.

Being a concubine of the Lu family is better than being a fireworks woman. She is tired of reading the dirty and desolate stories around her. In this world, there is no choice at all. The fate of women and the roses blown down by the wind. Same, in the river, it doesn’t matter where it floats...
