第一章 药罐子皇上请就位

柴火 holdings up branches, smoke hanging high when she woke. The sun is high, the ants are moving on the table. She stretched lazily, the wound on her hand still aching. It wasn't her fault, though. Someone had thrown a bowl at her. Who was she to fight back? Better to keep quiet and eat the bitter. Stupid village, always thinking they were something. If only she were a nobleman's daughter, wouldn't she be able to live in comfort? Instead, she was hiding in the mountains like a beast, good at nothing but picking wild vegetables. Suddenly, a sharp pain in her head made her dizzy. She touched the side of her head, finding it sticky. Oh, no. It was blood. Just then, a loud noise came from outside. "They're coming! Run, everyone run!" Run? Where?柴火 scrambles to her feet, her eyes full of panic. She doesn't even know where she is. The last thing she remembers is being thrown down a mountain. She looks around, seeing nothing but trees. She starts running blindly, not knowing where she's going.
