“Huh…”
The sky had cracked open, pouring down heavy rain. The small road in the wilderness was muddy and unbearable.
A thin man with a pale complexion gritted his teeth as he carried a tall man in a prisoner’s garb on his back and walked forward in the rain.
Step by step, the deep footprints were instantly blurred by the rain in a moment.
“Put me…down…”
The tall man gasped, and the thin man seemed to ignore him, with a resolute gaze.
At this moment, a clear sound of horse hooves was heard from behind, followed closely by the sound of “whoosh” mixed in the wind and rain.
They looked back, and saw that the dense arrows pierced the raindrops and fired in unison at them.
The thin man put down the person on his back instinctively threw him to the ground, and blocked the cold sharp arrows by using his skinny back.
“No–”
The tall man held the person who fell into a pool of blood and choked: “Dong’er …”

The man shook his head and cried. His trembling hands were so weak that he couldn’t even hold Zhou Rendong.
“Hahaha! Zhou Rendong was really blind to give up the mines and treasures in exchange for the life of this trash.”
The man on horseback was majestic and held a delicate woman in his arms.
The woman had a beautiful face. Her peach blossom eyes gently curved as she laughed: ” Fu Yicen, did you think I loved you? His Majesty and I have been married for a long time. The person who loves you the most is this fool, Zhou Rendong.”
The woman’s name was Fu Rushang, the biological daughter of his adoptive father. The two grew up together since childhood. Fu Yicen always pampered her from the bottom of his heart.
As a great general in the Xia Dynasty, he was highly meritorious. The new emperor was afraid of his power when he ascended the throne. He colluded with Fu Rushang to forge evidence of his rebellion and put him to death.
And this fool who had already drew his last breathe was the male wife whom he had married with proper ceremony.
Although he had married his wife five years ago, he only saw Zhou Rendong as the rabbit master of a small inn and intended to use him as an assistant. However, he unexpectedly assigned him to work in the servant’s room and even used him as a test subject for medicine, often at the instigation of Fu Rushang.
The most egregious thing was cutting off his thigh skin to repair Fu Rushang’s appearance.
As memories of his past flooded his mind, his heart felt like it was being pierced by a knife, and he cried hoarsely over the corpse that was washed by the rain.
He had suffered all kinds of torture, and his body had been destroyed by internal force, leaving him unable to seek revenge on the dog couple who had killed Zhou Rendong.
“Dong’er… I’m sorry,” he said in a hoarse voice. “If there is an afterlife, I will protect you instead.”
As soon as the words fell, he didn’t wait for the pair of dogs to react. With all his remaining strength, he grabbed an arrow from the side and plunged it into his chest.
“Hmm–”
A mouthful of blood spurted out and splashed on Zhou Rendong’s miserable face.
Taking advantage of his last breath, Fu Yicen slowly moved his body. He held Zhou Rendong’s icy little hand with his blood-stained hand, dropped a kiss on his closed eyes, and then lay next to him, swallowing his final breath…
“Ah……”
Fu Yicen woke up from his nightmare, covered in cold sweat. He sat up, clutching his chest and gasping for breath.
“Brother Cen, are you awake?” A delicate voice sounded in his ears. “It’s all my fault that I insisted on learning how to ride a horse. I disturbed that fierce horse and caused you to be kicked unconscious…”
Fu Yicen’s whole body trembled, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Wasn’t he dead?
Zhou Rendong had used mines and treasures to free him from death row. But he was chased and killed by the emperor and Fu Rushang, that dog couple, and died in the torrential rain.
But why did he still see Fu Rushang, and…she also still had two centipede-like scars on her face?
He remembered that these two scars had been perfectly repaired with Zhou Rendong’s thigh skin two years ago.
“Brother Cen, what’s wrong with you?”
Fu Rushang’s slender fingers shook in front of him. She pouted her lips, and said coquettishly, “Could it be that Brother Cen is reluctant to part with that surnamed Zhou’s piece of skin?”
“Surnamed Zhou? A piece of skin?”
Fu Yicen’s eyes widened suddenly. His heart was warm. Then an absurd and courageous idea flooded his heart.
He had been reborn.
His rebirth had occurred when Zhou Rendong’s thigh skin was cut off.
