Chapter 222 pushed the river into the river.
"Only by taking your destiny into your own hands can you live your true self."
Lin Cai looked at her father with a determined gaze, and her father nodded: "What do you want to know?"
Everyone wants to know.
Seeing that she couldn't stop it anymore, Lin's mother stopped talking.
Lin's father told Lin Cai that the matter was a bit long. Lin Cai turned her head to look at the direction of the window and then said, "It's okay, we can talk about it slowly."
"This story begins more than a decade ago..."
More than a decade ago, the Lin family was a military family in the ancient Long Kingdom.
The entire family were loyal and brave, all of whom were generals on the battlefield. Regardless of gender, they were all able to go to the battlefield to serve their country.
It was precisely because of this that the once prosperous Lin family quickly dwindled in number, as people died too quickly, and some of those who went out to fight returned incomplete or broken bodies.
Some went and never came back, but even so they were still not satisfied and felt that the Lin family was blocking their way.
In order to remove the Lin family as an obstacle, they joined forces to spread rumors that the Lin family was colluding with other countries and plotting a rebellion.
Logically speaking, no one with a brain would believe this, after all, the entire Lin family has very few members left after sacrificing everything for the entire Ancient Dragon Kingdom.
But the person sitting in that chair in such a high position was a brainless fool; he not only believed it but also believed it wholeheartedly.
He believed the false testimony provided by those people, believed that the Lin family was colluding with other countries, and believed that the entire Lin family intended to rebel.
With evidence, identification by others, and their own unwavering belief, the Lin family was thus convicted of treason and collusion with the enemy.
The emperor issued an edict to confiscate the property of the entire Lin family and exile them three thousand li away.
During their exile, they encountered a drought, and the officials escorting them abandoned them because they had no food.
Their family followed the refugees to another place.
To conceal their identities, Lin's father changed the identities of his entire family. Apart from their original surname being Lin, everything else was fake.
Hearing this, Lin Cai was a little confused. Those were things that happened before she was born, so what did they have to do with the present?
She voiced her question, and only then did Lin's father slowly say, "Because the turning point lies with you!"
It turned out that after they changed their names, they followed those who fled famine to one place after another, but they never settled down.
Later we came to an empty temple with only one monk inside. The monk took them in, and they settled down in the temple.
However, the good times didn't last long. After only two months, even more people came. Because there were too many people gathered, the county magistrate of the nearby government did not want so many refugees in his territory.
They sent officials to drive them away, and they were all driven away. The monks in the temple also died. But not long after they left, Lin's mother became pregnant.
Lin's father was naturally happy to learn that his wife was pregnant, but they were living a precarious life, and having a child at this time was not a good thing.
The couple had discussed it and originally didn't plan to have it, but as soon as the thought came to mind, they had a dream that very night.
They dreamed of monks in a temple who told them that if they walked forward for half a day, they would find a village.
They can settle down there, have children, and not worry about not being able to raise them.
After a year or two of fleeing famine, the family didn't want to live like that anymore. When they heard that they could settle down, Lin's father immediately agreed.
When they woke up the next day, the couple told each other about their dreams from the previous night, and they realized that they had the same dream.
And so, they found Gujia Village because of a dream and settled down there, but their whole family were outsiders.
Not being familiar with the people here, and in order to protect her child and her family, Lin's mother's gentle nature gradually turned into a fierce one.
This made everyone in Gujia Village aware that although they had fled famine, they were not to be trifled with.
After staying behind, the couple finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a few months later, Lin Cai was born smoothly.
But ever since that day, strange things have been happening to the Lin family.
At this point, Lin's father stopped talking and looked at Lin Cai.
Lin's mother was also looking at Lin Cai, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
"Are these strange things related to me?"
The couple nodded.
"If it's related to me, why don't I remember anything about it?"
Although she wasn't the original owner, she had received some of the original owner's memories, but those memories didn't include the original owner's childhood memories.
She had initially thought the original owner was too young to remember, but now, looking at the old couple's expressions, she knew that wasn't the case.
"When I was pregnant with you, everything was fine, there were no problems at all, but on the day you were born..."
On the day Lin Cai was born, their yard was filled with many more things, all of which were food.
There was grain, meat, and live animals. Lin's father was startled when he saw what was in the yard. Not long after, Lin's mother started labor.
After a tumultuous day, Lin Cai was born safely, but from then on, the things that happened in their Lin family became increasingly strange.
It's not exactly strange, but every day something new and different appears in their yard. For example, one day there's an extra wild duck, the next day an extra wild rabbit, and the day after that some rice or something. There's something new every day, and it's different every day.
They had considered asking the person who delivered these things to stop, but they couldn't find out who the person was, or even when they arrived!
This went on for three years. When Lin Cai was three years old, she was pushed into the river and brought back unconscious.
Although she was later woken up, Lin Cai's personality changed drastically after waking up.
Before the age of three, Lin Cai was very well-behaved and obedient. But after the age of three, Lin Cai was like a firecracker that was easily ignited and exploded. She would throw a tantrum and get angry at the drop of a hat.
Hearing this, Lin Cai frowned: "How could a three-year-old child fall into the river?"
Her question left the elderly couple speechless.
She made a bold guess: "Was she pushed into the river?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin's mother slapped Lin's father: "Isn't it all because of your father, that old geezer? He's so old, a father of four, and he still goes around philandering."
Feeling that one hit wasn't enough, Lin's mother struck again, this time quite hard.
