Rebirth 2

" Pain….hot…."

There is a little girl sitting lean to the tree. She looks like a 6-years-old child and she has a beautiful face with a red lip. She has a big round eye with a tiny mole under the side of her right eye. She has a high nose bridge. She has a frowning expression on her face as she was sweating. Her head moved side to side as she tried to wake up. She wears a pink flower embroidery long sleeve jacket with a pink layer skirt. The jacket has white furry around and is sewing to the line button. Both handcuffs also sew white furry on them. Her hair combe into two buns on each side of the head. It's tied with two pink strings and a little bell.

Feng Wu opens her eyes and blinks as she wonders why she is here. She thought that hell should be like darkness with ghosts but why was she here under the tree. Feng Wu glance around her surrounding.

" Why am I right here? Isn't I'm supposed to die?"

Feng Wu raise her hand and was shocked. Raise both her hand and look, it still tender and white. It was not rough like it use to be.

" Ahaa!" Feng Wu exclaims and covers her mouth.

Feng Wu tries to stand up as she looks around. This place is similar as she remembers when she was 6-year-old, concubine Li brought them to pray at the Heaven Temple. She remembers they write their birthday on a piece of paper and hand it to the Buddhist master. After that, they went down to a near town to rest for the night since it take two days to travel back to the capital. That is how she got poisoned and become mute.

Feng Wu got so excited as she thought that she get rebirth. She will for sure get her revenge. If this is what God had given her a chance, she will make her enemies pay for what they did to her.

"Feng Wei Wei and concubine Li, I will make you paid ten times for what you did to me!"

Feng Wu looks around as this place looks familiar. This should be where she came to rest after coming to Heaven Temple. Then Li Li, her maidservant should come to get her to go to the hall. That is where she wrote her birth date for the fortune master. She never asks or knows why they want it. Now she will not let their plan go as they want.

" Young Miss! Young Miss!" Li Li calls out.

Feng Wu turn and saw Li Li running her way. Li Li still look young like 9 to 10 year old. She wears a green long sleeve coat with light green inner garments, as her long skirt is green. It gives her an innocent face with two dimples on the cheek. She has her hair made into a double maiden bun as it is tied with green string. She still has the innocent-faced and didn't die yet.

" Young Miss, what are you doing here? I tried to find you everywhere." Li Li looks at Feng Wu's small frame body and chubby face.

" I was resting. Why?" Feng Wu answers back in a childish voice.

Li Li doesn't know why but her Young Miss is a little different and she looks a little cold. Li Li got a little scared as her Young Miss was always friendly and smiling at everyone.

" Concubine Li ask me to bring you to the hall."

" Let go."

Feng Wu walks ahead. Li Li followed behind. She doesn't know why but her Young Miss looks distant. Li Li couldn't understand why.

-----

Feng Wu walks on the stairs to go up to Heaven Temple. There are many stairs go all the way to the Heaven Temple. Everyone would have to walk since this way is closer than the other road. The other road goes behind the back mountain but it will take a longer time to reach Heaven Temple. The Heaven Temple is a very clean place as its name. It locates between the mountain and the hill. At the bottom of the temple, there was a river pond. It has lotus growing on every side of the river pond. The Wang emperor found, made this Heaven Temple for his empress after he married her. It is to show his love toward her.

When Feng Wu reach the hall, she saw two women. One of the women is concubine Li, who looks around 30 to 35- year-old. She wearing a dark gray dress with a grayish-white coat and have the same color slash to her hand. Her hair is combe into a bun in the back with two ring loops on. On her head, she has a white flower jade with a butterfly hairpin, add the two other white small flower pins on each side. It is like she wears many jewelers to show her wealth.

She smiled as she talked to a lady the same age as her. The way that lady dress looks like she is from a rich family too. The girl standing next to concubine Li is her "good sister", Feng Wei Wei, who is one year young. She wears a white dress with a pink long sleeve jacket and it has plum embroidered. She has the same hairstyle as Feng Wu with two pink strings tied to the little bell.

Feng Wei Wei saw Feng Wu walking inside the hall and she acted smiling as she walk to Feng Wu way. Feng Wu smiles coldly at Feng Wei Wei's acting skill. She has never known that Feng Wei Wei is only five years old but she already knows how to scheme.

" Big sister, come. Mom says we need to write our birthday on this paper and we will get blessed."

Feng Wu avoid Feng Wei Wei's hand as she tried to hold it, Feng Wu reach out to hold the paper. She smiles coldly as they still use the same trick. Feng Wei Wei look at Feng Wu as weird as Feng Wu never show this kind of attitude but she didn't care since today her mother told her to get Feng Wu to write her birth date for the fortune master to see.

Feng Wu always called concubine as mother whenever there no outsider but now that word is hard to come out. When she look at both mother and daughter, she feel disgusting and chill to her bone.

" Big sister, let go over the table and write down our birthdate to get blessed." Feng Wei Wei walks to the table.

Feng Wu turn and followed behind Feng Wei Wei. She pick up the brush and wrote her birth date but different day. No one knows her birth date since she so-called father had never been with her mother when her mother give birth. So it only an old nanny and her mother, including her know her real birth date. She use to never understand that why the so-called father is indifferent but now she knows it because she is not his biological daughter. After Feng Wu wrote down her birth date and concubine Li told them to go out as she will go talk to the fortune master.

Feng Wu walk out with Feng Wei Wei and Li Li followed behind.

" Big sister, let go rest at the stone table over there." Feng Wei Wei points to the stone table with chairs near the tree shade.

" Let go." Feng Wu walks over.

Both of them sat on a stone chairs as Li Li stand up on the side. Today is kinda cold as it is still early spring in March. Feng Wu tried to think of a plan to go back to eavesdrop.

" You can rest here first. I will go use the restroom so I will be back. Li Li, you don't have to follow me." Feng Wu stands up and walk to the other side to the back of the temple.

Feng Wei Wei open her mouth as she tried to speak but Feng Wu had already walked away. She got dissatisfied and stomp her feet. She glared at Li Li annoying.

Feng Wu went around the back of the temple and go toward a door to the hall. She enters quietly and hides behind the Buddhist statues and hears people talking.

Concubine Li said, " How was it?"

" It looks like she didn't have any special fortune. You don't have to be worry that she will surpass your daughter's fortune. But you should be careful of her as I can see in that little face that she will become someone powerful in the future." The fortune master told.

" What do you mean? You don't see anything from her birth date?"

" No, I don't see anything from her birth date but her facial appearance shows something different. Like a phoenix hidden to fly high."

Concubine Li stop talking as she was in deep thought. Then she walks out as the fortune master follows her. When there are no footsteps or anyone in the hall anymore, Feng Wu comes out of the Buddhist statues. Feng Wu look coldly at the door as she thinks to herself, why would concubine Li be scared of her, Feng Wu, when she was just a little girl and she even willing to poison and destroy Feng Wu. Since Buddhist do not protect her then she will protect herself even she has to kill people.

After the trip to the temple, they went down and rest in the nearby town. The River town is a small town and it is far from the Wang Capital. Is it located near a river through mountains. The carriage stopped at the Red Inn as it is mostly an inn for wealthy people.

Feng Wu gets down from the carriage and looks at the sign's name. It makes her remember how she got poison and how she become mute.

"Yao Yao, here is your room number. Go ahead, the mother will follow after setting down your younger sister." Concubine Li called out for Feng Wu's nickname.

Feng Wu snap out of her thought and pick up the tag number and went to her room as Li Li followed her. Feng Wu looks around the room as it is the same as her previous life. She looks at Li Li as Li Li unpacks, Feng Wu tried to think about how to tell Li Li about their mother and daughter's evil plan. She was also scared that Li Li might not believe too.

" Li Li, come here."

" Yes? Young Miss?"

" Do you trust me from the bottom of your heart?"

"Aha... Young Miss, what are you saying. Yes, I do trust you from the bottom of my heart and never betray you in this life!"

Feng Wu feels a warm feeling in her heart as she always knows how kind and trustest Li Li is.

" Okay. Then whatever happens later on. Do Not Say A Word." Feng Wu looks and says seriously.

" Okay. I promise!" Li Li looks confused but still raises three figures to make a deal.
