Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
More than ten years ago, the Fu family’s old mansion once suffered a huge fire. The sky-high flames seemed to have swallowed everyone. More than 100 people in the old mansion fled in panic in the burning mansion!
Cries of alarm and cries for help were incessant. In this cold, powerful family, Fu Zhen, who was still young and weak, didn’t have anyone to care about his life and death at all. The elders in the family only cared about the children who were eloquent or capable. Old Master Fu had five sons and three daughters. Fu Zhen’s mother was a mistress that no one liked!
Therefore, when everyone escaped, no one noticed that two people were missing! In the big house, the only people who cared about Fu Zhen and his mother were each other!
Fu Zhen’s mother was a gentle person, but no matter how gentle a person was, they would go crazy when they encountered such a situation. The old house was mostly made of wood. This kind of house was warm in winter and cool in summer, but the fire was very dangerous!
“Fu Zhen! Come! Let’s go this way!” The woman shouted!
Fu Zhen was choked by the smoke and couldn’t speak. The woman handed him the scarf in her hand. “Cover it! Come with me quickly!”
Fu Zhen looked at her face, which was blackened by the smoke, and her hair, which had been burnt by the fire. He pulled her over anxiously. The mother and son ran around the fire and walked outside with the scarf on. Fu Zhen still smelled the smell of gasoline. How could there be such a strong smell of gasoline? Fu Zhen was puzzled!
Seeing Fu Zhen stop walking, the woman chuckled and said, “Do you smell it too?”
The woman’s beautiful face was full of twisted hatred. “How could that woman let us go?”
“Does she dare to be so brazen? The price is too high!” Fu Zhen was still rational and calm, so he asked in return.
“Of course it’s not just that! She won’t simply take our lives!” The woman laughed terrifyingly, but Fu Zhen could only see the sadness in her eyes. “What she wants is something bigger! She wants control of the Fu family!”
Fu Zhen trembled. When he was young, he felt that the Fu family was too big, like a behemoth that no one could shake. However, the madam actually had such a big ambition!
“Let’s go out!” There was stubbornness in Fu Zhen’s eyes. He pulled his mother’s hand, but the woman stood still!
His mother smiled and said to him, “There’s no way out, child! She only gave us a dead end!”
Fu Zhen looked around, and fire rolled over. In all directions, they actually had nowhere to hide!
The air began to thin and become hot. His mother looked at him, and her eyes were full of love. “My child! Fu Zhen! You have to live! Help me see their retribution!”
As she said that, she pushed open the cover of the dry well in the small courtyard. Fu Zhen was completely unguarded, and he was pushed down just like that. There was actually still water inside, water that reached his chest. Fu Zhen crashed into the wall of the well, which was big.
However, the bottom of the well was very narrow. He twisted his ankle and felt a piercing pain.
He shouted from below, “Mom! Jump down. I’ll catch you!”
He choked on a few mouthfuls of water and spat out dirty water. There was no reply from above. “Mom? Mom!” He panicked!
“Silly child! How can I not know? I’ve been in this well before!” The woman’s voice came from above. The flames reflected on the well, and Fu Zhen saw her face clearly! Her eyes were filled with tears, and her eyes were frighteningly bright!
Before he had time to think about what she meant, Fu Zhen called out, “Come down first! There’s water here! We can get through it!”
The woman pounced on the well, as if she couldn’t hear him. She muttered to herself, “The Fu family is a living hell! Fu Zhen! Either run away, or become stronger, and no one will dare to bully you!”
“I will, mom! Come down first!” Fu Zhen’s tears flowed down. The water was very cold and bone-piercing, but there was a raging fire outside. Foreseeing a very bad ending. Fu Zhen shook his head. “Mom! Don’t leave me behind!”
The woman smiled. The twisted flames were like the Devil’s tongue. They reached her skirt and stuck to her skin! But she didn’t cry out in pain. She smiled. “I’m not leaving you behind! I want you to live for me! Everyone in their family is going to die a horrible death. You have to take a watch for me!”
Her aura gradually weakened. Fu Zhen even saw her beautiful face, which had always been delicate, cracked by the fire. He could see the dried muscles and blood vessels inside!
Have you ever seen a living person being roasted and burned to death by the fire? Have you ever seen the flames filling the sky, but felt chilled to the bone? Have you ever seen your loved ones dying right in front of your eyes, but you couldn’t do anything about it? Have you ever seen an inch-wide well four to five meters away representing the gap between life and death?
Fu Zhen has..
