Chapter 2 Dead Fruit
After walking out of people's sight, He Xiang walked to the river beach again, where she sat and thought.
Saving the lives of their darlings, yet being misunderstood and wronged was a common occurrence, and I had become accustomed to it.
However, lying in the place where she had wanted to commit suicide several times, she couldn't help but recall her mental journey over the past two years.
Three years ago, an ordinary courtyard house in the suburbs of Ji'an City, Shanglong State, was still bathed in the quiet night.
Fifteen-year-old He Xiang woke up at night and saw the lights on in his parents' bedroom.
Although the windows were tightly closed and the curtains were tightly drawn, it did not affect the transmission of those extremely lethal words at all——
"Today, when I returned to my hometown, I met the clan leader, Third Uncle. His first words upon meeting me have not changed in more than ten years! I really admire him."
"Her dad, did you... also say that we are in the same lane?"
"Alas! It's always like this: Has your nemesis' daughter been given away? When I shook my head, the second sentence came immediately - if she wasn't given away, your whole family should not go back to Lao He Village! Otherwise, the whole village will suffer bad luck!
"
The two of them sighed, one after another!
Nemesis’s daughter? This is no longer new to He Xiang’s ears!
He Xiang was about to duck into the toilet when he heard his mother's voice again:
"Her dad, during the day, Brother Zhang's cousin next door, the blind fortune teller, came over. Brother Zhang had no one at home, so he came to our house and sat and waited.
He chatted with me and asked about the situation of his three children.
When I told He Xiang's birthday, he was so surprised that he knocked over the tea bowl and said: We, the old couple, the eldest and the second brother, have spent our lives paying off He Xiang's debts. If we want us to live a happy life,
Unless San'er, the creditor, rises to the heaven of bliss soon, our whole family will still have to live a life of chaos! Even misfortune will happen! What do you want when you go out, what do you want at home... Oops, it's all ruin.
What a disaster, I am too timid to speak out!"
Bang - He Xiang's father picked up the tea bowl and threw it! He said angrily:
"What does the good and evil of our family have to do with He Xiang? What a blind, foul-mouthed guy!
Do you think that by wearing stone glasses and antique clothes, you are a god who has lived for hundreds of years and doesn’t know your age? Next time, I will beat him every time, and I will beat him until his teeth are everywhere!"
He Xiang's mother stroked his back to help him calm down and said:
"You said that we, He Xiang, have been blessed since childhood. We have thick eyebrows, big eyes, plump heavens, and a round face that is so cute. Why do third uncles and blind people say this? That blind man is even more exaggerated. It seems that He Xiang is in one day.
, it will kill our whole family! Is it so miraculous?"
"We must not be bewitched by him. Every child is here to repay his parents' kindness. What kind of debt collection is this?"
He Xiang's father turned over, knelt on the ground, clasped his hands and prayed for the blessings of his ancestors. The blessings broke the family-destroying spell, and their whole family...
He Xiang's heart immediately felt like a big stone was pressing down on her. The creditor and the idea of repaying the debt made her breathless!
When she returned to the room, she couldn't sleep for a while. The idea of repaying her debt made her simple mind become complicated.
She used to be a carefree little girl, her parents, sisters and brothers all loved her, and her heart was filled with happiness.
And now...she has to examine the relationship between herself and her family's many misfortunes.
When He Xiang was five years old, she suffered a serious illness. Her father replaced her with one of his kidneys. From then on, she could no longer do heavy work and had to walk with her waist slanted...
When she was seven years old, He Xiang's mother took her to work in the fields. Dressed in red, she ran and jumped in the fields, attracting a fight from a cow...
In the end, in order to protect He Xiang, my mother tightly held the cow's reins in her hands and pressed her down. The crazy cow dragged her out for more than a mile. After the bones of the thumb and index finger of her right hand were broken, they were not treated in time.
, dropped the Waiwai finger, and was called "Waiwai mother" by the neighbor's children.
Brother He Ye once took her out to play. Because his sister was nicknamed "Buster Xiang" by other children, he chased her and hit her. He accidentally stepped on the air and fell into an abandoned dry well. He was thrown to pieces.
A fool.
The second child, He Xiu, was even worse. He had a sick father and an idiot brother at home, and the family was living in poverty. He Xiu dropped out of school early, got married, and got some gift money to make ends meet. But the second child was not lucky.
Domestic violence is not only caused by her husband, the whole family uses her as a punching bag.
He Xiang suffered from insomnia for the first time. It was as if someone had poured into her ears the sound of "the creditor dies and the family is free", which kept appearing...
On the second day, He Xiang ate breakfast as if he had lost his soul, put on his schoolbag and went out.
"Wait for me in the alley!" The person who caught up with her and went to school with her was her friend Zhang Xiaoni.
As usual, she was talking nonchalantly to Hexiang on the way to school.
"Xiaoxiangzi, do you know why my cousin came to my house yesterday?"
Hexiang shook her head, talking less than usual and appearing dull.
"He Xiang, that cousin who can tell fortunes! He came to my house yesterday to collect payment.
Good guy, he can calculate everything about our neighbors so accurately. You said we study so much scientific and cultural knowledge all day long, why can’t we explain how the blind cousin’s divination is so accurate?
What’s the principle?”
He Xiang stopped, turned around and asked her:
"What kind of accurate method?"
Seeing He Xiang's pair of big shining eyes looking at her seriously, Xiaoni felt that she had really benefited from her blind cousin. She didn't need to show off in an extravagant manner to make her classmates' jaws drop.
"He Xiang, let's talk while walking! Otherwise we will be late."
The two of them were walking in a hurry. He Xiang always stopped in surprise at what Xiaoni said and asked:
"Is it true? Uncle Hu's son in the alley is just like the fortune teller said. He has not passed the age of thirty? People have asked him to count him dead. He, what kind of reward does he want?"
"Alley, walking and talking, that's not what he said. At that time, my cousin asked him to walk to the temple in the mountains to burn incense and worship Buddha on the night of New Year's Eve. Maybe he could escape the disaster, but because of the heavy snow, it kept falling.
, He didn’t endure the hardship himself and returned halfway, so he didn’t make it!”
After walking for a while, He Xiang was shocked by her words again:
"What? Did Aunt Wang from the previous alley really find her grandson who had been missing for three years?"
"No, my cousin just pointed on the map of our Shanglong Kingdom and found the place to look for, and sure enough he found our little grandson.
This is equivalent to saving the lives of her family. I gave my cousin 100,000 yuan as a thank you in one go!"
The two of them continued on their way, and when they turned a corner and reached the school, He Xiang stopped again, grabbed her arm and asked:
"Really? Is the calculation so accurate? Uncle Yang, who has been a bachelor all his life, really found his wife after a trip to Hu'an City, as he calculated?"
"Really, He Xiang! And that daughter-in-law is ten years younger than Uncle Yang. My cousin even said that she will have two of her in three years!"
"What does it mean to hold two people for three years?"
"My cousin received a reward of 50,000 yuan from Uncle Yang at our house last night and gave him a fortune telling that he would have two children in three years. Let's wait and see. Let's see if my cousin's prediction is accurate.
Not allowed."
I don't have the chance to see two people holding each other for three years. If I don't die and be freed, my family will be in trouble. How about...
Zhang Xiaoni saw He Xiang's desperate look and couldn't help but ask:
"What's wrong, He Xiang? Class is about to start, we have to take a few steps!"
Kick, kick, kick... Zhang Xiaoni ran a few steps, and when she looked back, He Xiang was still stunned.
Just when she was about to go back and drag her along with her, He Xiang turned around and ran away, only turning back and saying:
"Xiao Ni - help me ask the teacher for leave, just say I have a headache!"
You have a headache, how can you run so fast if you have a headache?!
He Xiang thought as he ran, this blind fortune teller is so good, if he says he is the nemesis of the family, then he must be. If he, the creditor, dies, won't the family be able to live a smooth life?
If her parents' words last night were just a pebble dropped into her heart, the many examples Xiaoni cited just now were like a mountain filled with the word "death", filling her heart to the brim.
Fortune teller, please, you are always so accurate in fortune telling, so there can be no accidents this time! You must let our whole family live a happy life!
Climbing up Ji Qiao's Hexiang, I said my last prayers in my heart.
Chapter completed!
