What was unusual was that whereas Xiao Household Village hadn’t seen a drop of rain in half a 12 months, different villages often skilled heavy rain to alleviate their drought conditions.
Although darkish clouds hovered above Xiao Household Village, as if to pour rain at any second, a gust of wind would quickly blow the clouds away to the neighboring villages.
In consequence, the villagers from different villages speculated that Xiao Household Village should have dedicated some type of sin, inflicting even the heavens to be displeased and punish them with drought.
The village head regarded on the clear blue sky above and couldn’t assist however frown. A villager beside him lamented, “Our crops are withering within the fields. If it doesn’t rain, we received’t harvest something for half a 12 months. Is it true that our village has dedicated some sin that even the heavens are punishing us?”
The village head replied solemnly, “Nonsense!”
Abruptly, he noticed Xiao Wanshan and his household returning to the village with their little one.
To the village head’s shock, as quickly as their ft stepped into the village, the beforehand clear blue sky grew to become engulfed in darkish clouds, adopted by thunder and lightning.
In truth, the villagers had been now not stunned by such a scenario.
Many occasions earlier than, the rain had simply ended up falling in neighboring villages.
Xiao Wanshan regarded up on the sky and stated, “Let’s hurry house, or Little Bao will get caught within the rain.”
A villager smiled and reassured him, “Wanshan, don’t fear. It received’t rain. This has occurred so many occasions earlier than.”
Earlier than Xiao Wanshan may react, Xiao Junxuan, who was carrying issues beside him, stated, “Auntie Chun, however the raindrops are already hitting my face.”
“What?” The villager instantly regarded up and certainly felt heavy raindrops like beans hitting their faces.
Excited and agitated, the villagers exclaimed, “It’s raining! It’s raining!”
The village head was additionally shocked; it was actually raining this time.
He was overjoyed.
Seeing Xiao Wanshan’s household simply on the village entrance, he shouted, “Wanshan, hurry up and run house with the kid! Anybody near them, convey a giant umbrella shortly!”

“Aunt, I’m nonetheless in confinement interval, I can’t go to your own home.”
“Why can’t you? Come on, hurry up. The rain is getting heavier, and for those who don’t go now, you’ll get soaked. You’re in confinement, you possibly can’t get caught within the rain!”
Quickly after, whether or not it was Xiao Wanshan’s household or different villagers farther away, all of them ran to Xiao Chunming’s home, which was the closest to the village entrance.
Not lengthy after they entered, they heard the sound of heavy rain pouring exterior.
“Haha, it’s actually raining!”
“That is nice.”
Then, among the ladies surrounded the new child child and spoke.
“This little one is really blessed. She simply returned to the village, and it began raining closely. She is sort of a fortunate star for our village.”
“Certainly, I noticed Wanshan carrying the kid getting into the village, and the sky instantly darkened, adopted by rain. Haha, this little one is like our village’s savior. It hasn’t rained for half a 12 months, and if it didn’t rain, our crops would die.”
“Wanshan, have you ever named the kid but?”
A villager requested.
Xiao Wanshan shook his head, “Not but, we would like the elders within the village to assist select an acceptable identify.”
At this second, the village head prompt, “The kid returned to the village and introduced rain, which exhibits she is blessed and brings luck. Carp is a standard image of fine luck and auspiciousness. Why not identify her Jinli, and hope that blessings and good luck will accompany her all through her life!”
“Jinli, I feel it’s a great identify.” A villager agreed. “Because the little one is blessed, we should always select a reputation with a great which means.”
Everybody voiced their settlement with the identify Jinli.
After pondering for a second, Xiao Wanshan and his spouse nodded, “Alright, her identify is Xiao Jinli!”
…
Simply as Xiao Wanshan and his spouse introduced Xiao Jinli again to the village, coincidentally, rain lastly fell. In consequence, Xiao Jinli shortly grew to become a favourite among the many villagers.
Even earlier than her first month ended, teams of villagers visited Little Jinli on daily basis.
All through that month, the now smaller Xiao Wushuang remained silent and pensive.
Over the course of that month, Xiao Wushuang realized by overheard conversations that she had in some way been reborn 400 years earlier on the Blue Star.
That’s, Twenty first-century Earth, within the 12 months 2001.
…
When Xiao Wushuang checked out her proper wrist when adults weren’t round and noticed the small inexperienced leaf birthmark there that was equivalent to her earlier life, she was as soon as once more shocked.
How may this be?
May it’s that this area had traveled along with her soul by time?
It needed to be.
In her earlier life, she had an area.
On the age of three, she by accident scratched her hand whereas enjoying, and her blood dripped onto the household heirloom, an imperial-green jade bracelet.
The blood was absorbed, after which inexperienced mist crammed your entire room. After some time, the mist shrank and condensed right into a inexperienced droplet, hovering in mid-air for a second. The inexperienced mild flashed, getting into her wrist and became a inexperienced leaf, changing into a birthmark.
At the moment, she was solely three years outdated, however her innate intelligence allowed her to have an entire reminiscence of the occasion.
As a substitute of being afraid, she was amazed by what had simply occurred.
Later, her father noticed the birthmark on her hand and took her to the hospital for a checkup, apprehensive that it might harm her physique. Solely after the outcomes confirmed no hurt did he really feel relieved.
The birthmark accompanied Xiao Wushuang as she grew up, till she was fifteen when an accident took her to a different area. That area was a very totally different world with stunning surroundings, flowers, timber, and water that enhanced the standard of an individual’s physique when consumed.
Moreover, the greens and fruits grown within the area tasted extremely scrumptious.
In different phrases, Xiao Wushuang, in her youthful age, had a colossal prideful achievement, and area performed a big position in it.
After all, she didn’t rely solely on the area; all her achievements had been additionally the outcomes of her arduous work.
Xiao Wushuang felt regretful, questioning why she didn’t disguise within the area for the time being of the explosion. Perhaps she wouldn’t have died.
Maybe her reluctance to rely too closely on the area brought on her to neglect about its existence in occasions of hazard.
Nevertheless, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
She was given an opportunity to be reborn 4 hundred years in the past.
And on this life, her members of the family had been all fairly good, with an attractive mom, a good-looking but trustworthy father, and a steady and good-looking youthful brother. Most significantly, all of them cherished her.
This heat and completely happy environment was effervescent with sweetness.
To not point out the encircling neighbors and villagers, who had been all caring and lovable, pleasant, and united, not often arguing with each other.
This sort of peaceable and harmonious life didn’t exist in her earlier life.
On account of overpopulation on Blue Star, people had been desirous to migrate to a different planet.
Survival of the fittest!
Solely essentially the most excellent individuals would have the ability to decide on higher dwelling circumstances.
Individuals competed with one another for his or her pursuits and beneficial properties.
They engaged in intrigues, resorting to deception, hardship, and drama on a regular basis.
She was born into the Xiao Household on Longzhou Land.
The Xiao Household was an ideal clan with a lineage of over three to 4 hundred years. She was the one inheritor, however her life was on the road always.
At the moment, her father was the one one who tried to guard her, however she was uncovered to hazard at any second.
Being in such a excessive place and all the time liable to dropping her life, she grew to become vigilant, ruthless, and brutal.
Particularly after her loving father handed away, she grew to become much more unfeeling and heartless.
She cared for Xiao Sese due to her father’s directions.
In any case, her mom married her father and raised her for a few years, so there was a deep emotional bond.
On the identical time, Xiao Sese was adept at performing and concealing her true nature, which prevented her from discovering Sese’s true intentions.
In her earlier lifetime of twenty-eight years, her days had been spent both finding out and researching or preventing assassinations, by no means having a day of peace.
In actuality, she had felt drained and exhausted throughout these twenty-plus years, however she couldn’t cease for a second.
As a result of if she confirmed even a touch of rest, she would possibly face the repercussions.
Now on this time, as quickly as she opened her eyes, she may hear her household’s laughter, pleasant conversations with the neighbors and villagers, and the vigorous discussions along with her relations and associates.
She had by no means skilled such a relaxed and cozy environment earlier than.
However she was now experiencing it.
To be trustworthy, she loved this type of life.
Nicely, the previous was the previous, and now was now.
Since destiny had given her an opportunity to dwell once more, she would totally get pleasure from this peaceable, harmonious, heat, and completely happy life.
Any more, she would now not be Xiao Wushuang; she could be Xiao Jinli, the fortunate star of her household and even your entire village, with excessive hopes and luck accompanying her all through her life.
Nevertheless, she was nonetheless a child in her mom’s arms.
…
Xiao Jinli raised her proper hand, stared intently on the small inexperienced leaf on her wrist along with her shiny eyes.
A second later, she barely frowned.
Why couldn’t she enter the area now?
It didn’t matter. If she couldn’t enter, so be it.
In any case, the area wouldn’t disappear. She would finally enter it sooner or later.
