There has always been a legend about Cinnabar bones in the area. Even the Queen Dowager heard about it when she was young.
It is said that Cinnabar bones are black and can be used to make a life-saving elixir, but those who possess Cinnabar bones die in a terrible way because they have a "priceless body."
Thinking about it, Queen Dowager gave me the silent treatment, and suddenly I realized: if Shan Hua really is Cinnabar bones, that's even more pitiful than being ugly and unable to marry!
But Queen Dowager still didn't believe it: "Why do you say that Shan Hua is Cinnabar bones? This thing has been passed down through the ages, and it's just a blind rumor that it has grown on Shan Hua."
Queen Dowager's younger brother was also anxious: "Do you think I believe it? Even if I believe it, others will believe it! These days... Shan Hua is in danger!"
In this way, Queen Dowager and her brother discussed for a whole night, and finally decided that her brother would take Shan Hua away to a distant place!
Early the next morning, Queen Dowager's younger brother left. He went home first to settle things and agreed to pick up Shan Hua three days later.
Queen Dowager, who was solely focused on Shan Hua, didn't notice that Shui Hua was sitting blankly on the stone steps outside the door at that moment.
The day before, she overheard the conversation between her uncle and mother. She finally understood the real reason why those people had been fighting over the Shan Hua these days. It turns out they were all here to "treasure hunt"!
Now, she somewhat regrets not agreeing to her mother's request to "marry off her daughter with a good match" in the first place.
At this moment, it's terrible. In three days, Uncle will take Shan Hua away, and then Cinnabar bones will have no connection with me at all! She was extremely depressed, thinking that it would be better if Shan Hua got seriously ill and died before Uncle came back, then...
Thinking of the word "death," Shui Hua's heart couldn't help but race, and a thin layer of sweat seeped out on her face: after all, she is my own sister!
But then she had a second thought, thinking that ugly creatures like Shan Hua were just leftovers in the world, and it would be better to die early and make a contribution to the family!
With that in mind, Shui Hua disregarded sisterly affection and decided to take a risk.
The decision has been made, and now it's about how to implement the plan.
For her, this is not difficult. She has been following her father to gather herbs since she was young, and naturally understands which herbs are poisonous. She knows how to make Shan Hua quietly disappear into another world.
She quietly went out to dig up some poisonous tree roots, washed and dried them, then ground them into powder. After that, she went to the town to buy some meat and flour, and silently made meat buns with the poisoned powder mixed in. After steaming the buns, she put them in a small basket, covered them with a handkerchief, and carried the basket up the mountain.
After walking for a few hours, when Shui Hua arrived at the herbal garden on the mountain, the sun was already slanting to the west.
She had originally planned to watch Shan Hua swallow the steamed buns with her own eyes before leaving, but when she looked up the mountain, she saw that the cabin was tightly closed, and Shan Hua may have gone up the mountain to gather herbs again.
She placed the basket on the windowsill and then slipped down the mountain as if escaping.
That night, Shui Hua went to bed early, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what. From far outside the house came the cries of a few night owls, which sounded to her like the lament of Shan Hua before their death. It scared her so much that she burrowed into her blankets, not daring to breathe. She tossed and turned like this until the rooster crowed three times, finally falling asleep.
She didn't know how much time had passed when she heard someone knocking on the door: " Shui Hua, open the door, open the door!"
Shui Hua As soon as I heard it, I was so scared that I almost passed out, because the person knocking on the door was Shan Hua!
Oh my goodness! I never expected that darn Shan Hua would come to collect the debt so soon! Shui Hua I was so scared that I hid under the covers and trembled.
At this moment, someone lifted the blanket on her, and she screamed in fright. When she looked closely, she saw Queen Dowager and Shan Hua standing side by side at the bedside.
Queen Dowager asked with concern, "Shui Hua, Shan Hua knocked on the door for so long, didn't you hear? Why are you sweating so much? Are you sick?" With that, Queen Dowager hurriedly went to the kitchen to make ginger soup.
Shan Hua put the small basket in front of Shui Hua and said, "Sister, thank you! But it's such a big meat bun, it would be a waste for me to eat it. Today is your birthday, so let's consider it my birthday gift to you!"
After that, she happily took out a cloth bag from her arms and handed it to Shui Hua, "Sister, look, I brought you something."
Shui Hua Trembling, I took the cloth bag and opened it to find a red checkered skirt.
Shan Hua said beside me, "This is the birthday gift I made for you these days. Do you like it?"
Shui Hua nodded and happily went to the kitchen to find Queen Dowager.
Sitting on the bed, Shui Hua held the gift in her hands, feeling a mess inside.
At this moment, the sound of Shan Hua's crying came from the kitchen. Shan Hua could be heard saying, "Mother, I won't leave. You're not feeling well right now, and I can't go anywhere! I want to stay with you!"
Then came the voice of Queen Dowager: "Listen, ever since your father passed away, our whole family has been taken care of by your uncle. This time, your uncle is just asking you to help out for a couple of days. How can you refuse to go?"
The sound of Shan Hua's crying slowly faded away.
After a while, Shui Hua saw Shan Hua walking out the door with her head down.
Watching her sister's retreating figure, Shui Hua's heart churned once again.
In the end, she let down her skirt and made up her mind to either do or die, she must kill Shan Hua.
At noon that day, she brought a rope, a knife, and a basket, and quietly went up the mountain without anyone noticing.
When she saw Shan Hua, she pretended to be excited and said, "I heard from Liu Banxian that there is a kind of herb called 'Snake Peony' that can cure my mother's illness, but this herb only grows on Laolongyan. To save my mother's life, I have decided to take a risk!"
Upon hearing the words "Laolongyan," Shan Hua shivered.
