Dou Po: My days as a mentor at Canaan College

Chapter 100 Peace of Mind
In front of the bed, seeing her daughter's haggard appearance these days, the middle-aged woman couldn't help but turned her back, and sobbed silently.

After all, she did not extinguish the lamp for her daughter.

She knew that although her daughter said she was not afraid anymore, she was definitely still terrified in her heart.

Although their family is in such a situation, it is a luxury to let the lamps burn unrestrainedly...

Walking out of the room, the middle-aged woman closed the door silently and went back to the next room, but she couldn't fall asleep for a long time, thinking of her daughter's hellish experience a while ago, and it was also that experience that made her daughter extremely afraid of the dark night without fire.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in her heart. She clenched her hands tightly like fists, and her fingernails were embedded in the flesh of her palms at some point. The tingling pain made her between trance and sobriety.

Suddenly, a gnashing of teeth sounded in the room, and it came from the mouth of a middle-aged woman:

"That bastard...will die..."

Perhaps she didn't want the daughter next door to hear her, so the middle-aged woman's wailing was suppressed extremely low.

However, although her voice was not heard by her daughter, it was clearly heard by the "gentleman on the beam" who came to the roof of their house for a while.

The voice came to my ears, and Liu Xi, who had turned into shopkeeper Song, became stiff under his clothes, and his eyes were a bit complicated.

Some fragments in my mind surged out, and the memory was still fresh, as if it was still vivid in my mind.

One night about half a month ago, the young girl of this family was taken captive by the Jialie family ordered by the original body, blindfolded with cloth, and then held down by the original body in a dark, silent and desolate place, called Tian Tian In the alley that shouldn't be, give, force, do...

Suppressing that damn sense of being there, with a deep sigh, Liu Xi closed his eyes, trying to let his mind go as far as possible, suppressing these dark, dark, memory fragments from his original body.

After recalling these things for a long time, it is easy for his mind to become distorted.

Although he didn't do those things, those real memories have been engraved in his mind and merged with him. He asked himself that he couldn't ignore it, and he couldn't forget it in a short time.

And when he came out of Xiao's house tonight, he was giving some compensation to those who were hurt and abused by the original body, so that he could think about it better.

Please feel at ease.

It was a last resort.

He never thought of himself as a good person, but at least he had his own way of dealing with people.

Although the fact is very helpless and aggrieved, who made him so coincidentally pass his soul to this scum who is also called Liu Xi?

It's useless to complain, do what's right for tonight, get rid of the karma involved in the original body, and live this life with peace of mind.

After tonight, apart from the original family and the master's karma, he was just him.

No more distractions.

But having said that, if we really want to be serious, God still has eyes, at least it turns out that Liu Xi has died strangely.

……

After a while, when there was no more movement in the house, Liu Xi turned over and jumped off the eaves.

Except for one door, this house only has two panes connecting the inside and the outside. There is no accident, the door and the panes are tightly closed.

A widowed mother and daughter live in a house where there is no man in the family. How could they lead a sloppy life and boldly open the door? This kind of family does not exist.

With some ingenuity, I carefully shook open the hinge of the window without making too much noise.

Through the window, he looked at the situation inside, and found that the girl in the room had closed eyes, and she should not have been awakened. Liu Xi felt relieved, turned over and entered the house.

"You... who are you..."

However, just as Liu Xi was on the ground, the girl's nervous voice sounded.

Turning her head to look, she saw the girl on the bed tightly wrapping her hands in the quilt, her watery eyes were full of panic, and there was a touch of despair from the bottom of her heart. I don't know what she thought of...

It turned out that the girl hadn't fallen asleep all this time, so why was she suddenly awakened by the sound of him coming in?
For a moment, Liu Xi froze, subconsciously pulled a friendly smile on his face, but forgot that he looked like Shopkeeper Song now, and his smile was like a chrysanthemum, which was extremely ugly.

"You...you...can you not hurt me...I won't shout..."

The girl's voice was intermittent, she was obviously scared, but she forced herself to calm down.

The content of these words makes people feel a little sad for no reason.

Visible to the naked eye, the girl's body under the quilt was trembling like a dustpan, obviously she was extremely frightened, but she was able to say these words, but it also showed her wisdom.

Knowing that the night is quiet, even if she yells and waits for the neighbors to arrive, she may have been killed by the enraged "bad guys", and there are only her and her mother in the house, they are ordinary women who have never practiced fighting qi, so it is unlikely It is the opponent of the person in front of you.

Hypocrisy and obedience are the only ways she can think of to ensure the safety of herself and her mother.

Their family is not well-to-do, let alone rich, so the person in front of them is definitely not a thief of property, not for money, and broke into the house of orphans and widows. It seems self-evident why...

Thinking of what might happen next affected her unbearable experience.

Moreover, she vaguely felt that although the appearance of the person in front of her was unfamiliar, there was a sense of familiarity in the back of her figure, and that feeling was not very good...

The mist appeared uncontrollably and permeated the eye sockets, forming tears that swirled in the girl's eyes.

Seeing the girl's appearance like this, Liu Xi's throat was unconsciously bitter. He didn't speak, and the girl would recognize who he was if he couldn't speak clearly.

Silently, he took out a wooden box full of gold coins from the storage ring, and then he turned to leave, but stopped in front of the window pane. He looked around the room and came to the desk beside him.

There was paper on the desk, and he wrote eight words with a pen, then turned out the pane and disappeared into the thick night outside.

It wasn't until he left for a long time that the girl on the couch broke away from the state of intense fear just now.

He... just left like that?

Didn't do anything bad...

This was the girl's first reaction, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Reminiscing about the strange behavior of that person just now, she stayed on the bed and closed the open pane again, then looked at what the person had written.

"Wealth is not revealed in vain, and we cherish ourselves..."

She read the eight characters one by one.

With full of puzzlement and doubts, she walked to the wooden box left by the man.

The wooden box wasn't locked, she just opened it.

Suddenly, under the light of the lamp in the room, the inside of the box was so golden that she almost couldn't open her eyes.

Her heartbeat quickened inexplicably, and she trotted to the next room after being dazed.
