Chapter 774

She looked at the patterns on the teapot. “That year, I lost my way and was sold to the mountains. I had a rough time over there.

She paused momentarily before continuing, “Before I burned the hay, I locked that family up in a room, and they burned alive. I walked for a month to get out of the mountains.

“Since I was burned, everyone saw me as a monster. I was lucky enough to bump into a kind person. It took me years. I fixed up my face a lot of times before I was able to look like this.”
