Chapter 1 Escape
In the foggy morning, beside the river under the blue tiles and white walls in the south of the Yangtze River, Yiman was staring at his red and swollen fingers in a daze.

"What are you doing there, you little hoof, why don't you hurry up and finish washing your clothes and make breakfast, or you won't even think about eating today."

The sharp scolding was especially harsh in the silent morning.

Yiman seemed to have not heard it, and was still immersed in the dream-like scene just now.Turning his head stiffly, he saw a strong woman in the distance walking towards her, swearing and breathing heavily.

This is - back to 16 years old?
At that time, there were no scars left by the beatings on the hands because of resistance, and the adoptive mother was dressed like this.

Really back to the age of 16?

After death, I seemed to vaguely see that I was the princess of the current emperor. The dream I had been having when I was a child was not a lie. I was really stolen and sold by the eunuchs during the palace coup. I was the princess of the current emperor.

Looking back at the time before he was reborn, he had worked hard at his adoptive parents' home for ten years, suffered many grievances, and was still beaten and insulted. After resisting at the age of 16, he was beaten until he was about to die. In the end, he was sold to a rich man in the countryside in order to raise money for his parents' engagement.

When she was 17 years old, she was sold to a rich man in the countryside as a concubine. She was rejected because of her disobedience and was bullied by everyone throughout her life. She finally died of illness in a mass grave——

No, no, I must never fall into that kind of situation again, and I must never experience that kind of despair over and over again.

Since I am the princess of the day, I must get back what belongs to me!

Either death or the best life.

"You dead girl, I can't hear you, are you deaf?"

As the adoptive mother spoke, she raised her hand and slapped Yiman on the back of his head the next second.

Yiman suddenly turned around and reached out to grab his adoptive mother's wrist, and raised his head with a look of resentment in his eyes.

The adoptive mother was startled by Yiman's sudden movement, and felt a little scared when she looked at Yiman's eyes.He also thought that this little hooves was usually very easy to bully, but today she had a burr, so she had to be subdued, otherwise what would happen if she resisted in the future.

Cursing like a paper tiger, "Little bitch, you still dare to stare at me? I won't show you today—"

Although Yiman is a little malnourished, she has enough strength to do rough work all year round.

He suddenly stood up, grabbed his adoptive mother's arm, pulled her behind her, and kicked her calf bone hard.Turning around and pushing, the foster mother's strong body splashed into the river, creating a big splash.

"Help, help—"

He glanced at the boats that were already doing business and noticed the movement here. The adoptive mother was struggling and crying in the river. She picked up her dress and ran back.

If you have been bullied by this family, you will never get ahead.It's better to tear her face apart completely and leave her adoptive parents' home before they are ready.

In my memory, I was sold at the age of 17, and now time is running out, and I must leave as soon as possible. Only by leaving this city can I break free from the original shackles and get out of the clutches of my adoptive parents.

With the rush of adrenaline, the sallow face took on an unhealthy red.Taking advantage of his adoptive mother before being rescued, Yiman ran panting all the way back to the Lemin Pharmacy where he had lived for two lifetimes and decades.

Although the adoptive father does not know medical skills, he always yearns for those peerless famous doctors. To sum up, he always wants to do porcelain work without the diamond.

While the family was still in ruins, it was possible to hire a doctor, but now it's just a facade.

He rushed into the pharmacy like the wind, ran to the backyard, and ran into a customer who got up early and rushed to take medicine.

"Are you crazy, running so fast to be reincarnated?"

After finishing speaking, he would pick up the bamboo pole at hand to catch up with Yiman and beat him. Seeing a guest, he quickly handed over his hands to make amends.

Yiman didn't care about the air, his throat hurt, and he ran to the door of the dilapidated woodshed where he lived and stopped suddenly.

That's right, I have lived here for decades, and I don't even have a copper plate on my body, so what else can I get?
Suddenly turned around and ran towards the adoptive mother's room, rushed in and closed the door tightly.Leaning against the door, he swept around the room, rushed to the table and took out the jewelry box, paused, and poured out all the jewelry in the box.Randomly took a few pieces of paper from one side and stuffed them in, and took a few pieces of good fabric.

Suddenly the sound of the adoptive mother yelling and crying came from the front yard.

"Hey, I'm dead, that bitch is going to kill me."

"Ma'am, you get up first, there are guests."

"If you don't beat her to death or sell her today, I won't get up. Oh, help me, I'll kill someone."

Yiman hugged the things in his arms, rushed out of the room, and ran towards the back door.

He didn't dare to stop all the way, and while walking, he wrapped the jewelry box tightly with a few pieces of cloth, looking quite precious.

If he wanted to survive, he had to escape from this city, otherwise, no matter where he hid in a corner, once they found out, he would definitely be caught and sold again.At this time, my strength is weak, and I can't show off my strength.So you have to get out of the city and make plans.

No matter what you do, you cannot do without money.If you take jewelry, you will definitely be arrested and a case will be filed quickly. But if it is a worthless wooden box and a few pieces of cloth, it will be nothing.He didn't have a deed of sale to his adoptive parents, so even if they reported it to the government, the government wouldn't care.

When he reached the intersection of Shunliu Street, Manman looked back and saw that no one was catching up with him. He slowed down and calmed down his heavy breathing.

Seeing the pawn shop sign of Yongbao, Yiman closed his eyes tightly, opened his eyes again, raised his head high, and walked in with the box wrapped in cloth.

"Girl, please come in, are you treating me as something?"

The guy had nothing to do early in the morning, he looked up and down, and his eyes fell on the rather expensive cloth package in Yiman's hand.

Yiman glanced at the waiter with lowered eyelids, and said arrogantly, "Call your shopkeeper to come out."

The guy saw that Yiman's clothes were similar to his own, but his attitude was not like that of an ordinary girl, it was really strange.Seeing that she was very nervous about the cloth package in her hand, she responded, ran to the stairs beside her and shouted: "The shopkeeper—come down to hold the eye—"

Then a high-pitched voice came from upstairs, "Here we come."

Hearing the sound of stepping down the stairs, every step of the way seemed to step on Yiman's heart, and his heart constricted.

The owner of the pawn shop has only been in Shunnan City for a year. Although he is already familiar with Shunnan City, he does not know everything about it.

"What is the girl going to be?"

A tall, middle-aged man with a beard wearing a shopkeeper's coat stood in front of Yiman. His eyes widened and he glanced up and down. It was like a "burly man coming towards you" as mentioned in the book, and he suddenly felt oppressive.

After going through two lifetimes, she is no longer an ignorant little girl who shows timidity when she is frightened.

When I was sold to that arty rich man's house, I would go to the unattended library and read secretly under the moonlight every night.On the night before his death, he climbed into the library, but was eventually thrown into a mass grave by the rich man who thought he was unlucky.

Those days were the happiest and most painful days. The enjoyment and comfort of books added a lot of fun to the days when I was going to death, and let me see a wider world.

Yiman gently placed the cloth parcel on the table beside him, lifted up his skirt and slowly sat down, resting his elbows on the armrests, and glanced at the shopkeeper, "It's a secret recipe."

No matter what the secret recipe is, it has always been kept secret by every family and is worth thousands of dollars.No matter what the business is, having a secret recipe is equivalent to having a brand name. Every family protects her as if they are eyeballs. Seeing the girl's shabby clothes, could it be that the family's fortune has declined?
No business, no cheating, the shopkeeper is also a businessman, secretly thinking that big business is coming, but he doesn't show it on his face.Thinking of the young girl in front of me, no matter what the secret recipe is, I want to keep the price to a minimum.

"I don't know what the secret recipe is?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand to touch the cloth package.

Yiman looked indifferent, but quickly stretched out his hand to hold the cloth package.

The shopkeeper looked at the girl in front of him calmly and calmly. She had a good heart and was not easy to deceive.He sat back and looked at Yiman with a smile on his face.

Seeing that the other party had stopped showing contempt, Yiman withdrew his hand from the cloth package, adjusted his sleeves calmly, and showed a half-smiling expression, "This is the secret recipe for childbirth from my pharmacy."

The secret recipe for having children?

The shopkeeper showed a puzzled expression, "Which hospital does the girl belong to?"

Suddenly there was a loud shout from outside the door, and Yiman's left hand grabbed the corner of his clothes suddenly, his heart in his throat.

Could it be that the adoptive parents came after them?
If he is chased by his adoptive parents, it will be very difficult for him to escape in this life. Will he be trapped in one place and humiliated for the rest of his life?

Yiman clearly heard the shopkeeper's words, but his thoughts flew to the door.He was nervous, his ears perked up, and he glanced at the backyard of the pawn shop.

".Little wontons here"

Hearing this clear cry of selling, Yiman slowly relaxed the muscles on his legs. Seeing the shopkeeper looking at him suspiciously, Yiman lowered his eyes and said calmly, "My home is Kailemin Pharmacy in Qijia Lane. Yes, my family imported a batch of precious medicinal materials from Nanyang a few days ago. It was agreed that the payment will be made in the future, but I don’t want those nasty Nanyang people to stop at the door of my pharmacy begging for money, so I have to leave today.”

Yiman showed a helpless and embarrassing expression in a timely manner, which was just right for a girl who was anxious about something.

The guy next to him who wanted to learn more frowned and looked at the roof when he heard this and started thinking.

The shopkeeper is not a local, but the waiter is.

He grew up in Shunnan City. Although he did not live in Qijia Alley, he had vaguely heard that the pharmacy had become less popular in recent years.And there seems to be only one boy who is a demon king. Where did this girl come from?Could it be a helper, but how could a helper come with the secret recipe on behalf of the master?

From the corner of his eye, he saw the waiter holding his chin with a puzzled look on his face. It was only because he was standing behind the shopkeeper that the shopkeeper didn't see it.

I have a bad heart, does this guy know something?
