Atonement prequel

But Tao Ren, when he heard the word "cannibal", he was so frightened that his mind went blank.I also saw dozens of people making a mess, scrambling to escape in all directions.

The next moment, she turned and ran away almost instinctively.

At this time, Tao Ren was like a headless fly, and there was only one word left in the whole world - escape.Unknowingly, she ran into the jungle, and Xue Tao and other companions were no longer in sight.

However, she vaguely heard someone chasing her behind her, and she didn't dare to be careless in her heart.She is a weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken. If she falls into the hands of cannibals, she will definitely have no way out.

Under the persecution of survival instinct, people often burst out potentials that they have never imagined.Tao Ren heard the footsteps chasing after her, and instinctively thought it was the cannibals chasing her, so he gritted his teeth and ran as hard as he could without stopping.

At some point, the footsteps behind her gradually slowed down and became farther away.

Before Tao Ren could breathe a sigh of relief, he was suddenly startled.He stopped abruptly, almost falling to the ground.

In front of him, the crown prince in the apricot-yellow python robe got off his horse and looked behind Tao Ren through Tao Ren.The expression on his face was extremely complicated.It seemed angry, but also desperate.

Seeing the crown prince's expression, Tao Ren suddenly had a very bad premonition, but he didn't dare to think about it.She turned around stiffly and looked behind her.

Dying Lightning fell not far behind her.There was a puddle of blood under her body, and there was also an endless trail of blood behind her.

Just now, she was seriously injured and ran after Tao Ren, shed blood all the way!And Tao Ren only cared about running for his life, but he didn't hear her footsteps!

"No!!!" Tao Ren went crazy on the spot, throwing himself on Lightning, crying bitterly, "No, Lightning, you, don't scare me..."

Lightning struggled to open his eyes, and smiled with difficulty: "Renren, I am the one who is sorry for you. If it weren't for me, you would have married a man of the right family and lived an ordinary and stable life."

"I don't want it!" Tao Ren screamed in despair, "I don't want an ordinary life! I want to be with you, you haven't taken me to see the forest, you haven't taken me to the South China Sea to meet your master's nun What about the island. You told me that there are other countries overseas, with many strange people, strange things, and strange sights. We still have so many places that we haven’t visited yet!”

Good men have ambitions everywhere, but women can only stay out of the door and stay out of the door.In order to meet the needs of men, women were chained with all kinds of chains from childhood, and they were trapped in the gate of the square wall all their lives.The so-called greatest achievement is to win a group of big and small wives.But no matter who wins, men enjoy the same benefits.

If Tao Ren hadn't encountered Lightning, he might have faced such a fate.

She is lucky and happy.

However, this happiness does cost the lives of two people.

"We haven't been to the snow-capped mountains yet, and we haven't seen the white bears in the extreme north written in the book. You can't die! There are still many places we haven't been to!" Tao Ren cried bitterly, "I will never go there again. Don't go back to the capital, I hate that place!"

Lightning smiled weakly: "Perhaps my biggest sin is letting you know about these places. That's why you don't want to be trapped in the house anymore."

The door of the house traps the woman, and from another perspective, it can be regarded as protecting the woman, just like the owners keep the dog at home to prevent them from freezing and starving.At least if Tao Ren Ansheng stayed at home to marry, he would basically have no chance of messing with the crown prince.

"Renren, have you noticed? In fact, this is the forest we wanted to go to before." Lightning said suddenly, "We saw the desert and crossed the Yellow River all the way, but we walked out of the road for several months. It's been more than two years, and we haven't arrived yet."

Tao Ren was taken aback for a moment, then instinctively raised his head and looked around.

Now it's almost autumn, and most of the leaves are withered and yellow, and the so-called vitality can no longer be seen.

"Renren, I'm sorry." Lightning said suddenly.

"Lightning, lightning..." Tao Ren exclaimed.

Lightning tilted his head, dropped his hands, and fell into a deep sleep, never waking up again.

"Lightning!" An exclamation resounded through the sky.

The next moment, a long sword passed through Tao Ren's chest.Tao Ren didn't dodge or evade, and watched blood spurt from his chest with cold eyes.

In a daze, she saw the crown prince picking up Lightning's body and walking away gradually.

"No, no..." She shouted with the last of her strength, "She is mine, she is mine..."

The crown prince stopped and said word by word: "It's already mine."

After that, he strode away without staying for half a minute.

Tao Ren's hands drooped heavily, but his eyes looked straight at the direction where the prince was leaving.

Afterwards, a big purge took place on the border of the Daya Dynasty.Those small tribes that used to make troubles were all wiped out within a year by the border guards who suddenly launched an attack.

The following year, the Crown Prince ascended the throne, and the late Crown Princess was posthumously named Empress.

The new emperor was quite talented and soon took control of the government.He reused talents and implemented benevolent government, making the country gradually prosperous and strong.

Five years later, soldiers from neighboring countries invaded the border.The new emperor, who had been hiding his strength for many years, took the opportunity to personally conquer, successfully occupied the neighboring countries, and expanded the territory of the Daya Dynasty.Ten years later, the Three Kingdoms were unified, and the world belonged to Daya.

What the monks of the Huguo Temple said back then, "It's beyond words", has come true now.If Lightning survived, she would be the empress, and the emperor would unify the Three Kingdoms, which would be invaluable.

"Your Majesty, the traitor Zhang Jerry has been captured, please show Your Majesty how to deal with it."

"Ling Chi."

Zhang Jerry once proposed marriage to Lightning, he knew it.It's just that after he joined the army and gained military exploits, the emperor couldn't move him easily.But he never thought that in order to avenge Lightning, he would be able to suffer for ten years.

Even so, so what?

"Your Majesty, do you really want to do this?" the national teacher tried to persuade.

"I've made up my mind, so there's no need to say more." The emperor didn't change his face.

"But even so, you can only be a husband and wife with the empress for a lifetime." The national teacher hesitated, "For this husband and wife, you will die physically and spiritually, and you will not be reincarnated. This..."

"Whispering." The emperor was slightly annoyed, "What I say is what I say."

"Also," the emperor added, "I want that woman to die at the hands of the queen. Is it possible?"

"Yes, but Your Majesty..."

"Any price will do."

In the spring of this year, the trees in the forest have grown green leaves one after another, and they look full of vitality.

No one knows that a girl's body has been melted into the soil here.The body of the other girl was buried in a cold place called the Imperial Mausoleum.

A hunter went hunting in the mountains and suddenly felt that he stepped on something.

"Hey, why is there a hairpin?" He picked it up and took a look, "It looks like a jasper hairpin. I don't know if it's real. Forget it, let's pick it up first."
