Above the nine springs, people rob the earth and the spirit

The village chief's daughter poured a glass of water for Bai Tianqing.

Bai Tianqing took it but didn't drink it.

"What story do you want to hear? In fact, I'm quite curious about your outside stories." Envy flashed on the face of the village chief's daughter.

Bai Tianqing was thoughtful, and followed her words and said: "Actually, there is nothing good outside. It is not much different from here, it is just bigger. After all, it is the city."

Thank you. In fact, she has never been to the city, and has never been out of the small county town. She laughed to death.

The village chief's daughter asked curiously: "So where are you from?"

"I'm from Jiuquan County, but I'm from Wusheng Town, which is not far from here. It's also because of this that I chose Naihe Village as the place for my academic inspection."

"Ah...what is college like? Which university are you from?"

"The university...is it okay? Our school is in the suburbs. It's quite big and the school environment is pretty good. There's a big artificial lake with swans in it."

Bai Tianqing also felt that there was a reason why he was good at composition. He would have known he had studied liberal arts.

She made up a lot of nonsense, some of which she read in books, and some of which she simply used her own school as a model and expanded upon, but of course she also completely avoided the name of the school.

The longing in the eyes of the village chief's daughter was even more obvious.

She quickly said quietly: "That's great. I could have gone to college."

"Then why didn't you go?" Bai Tianqing felt that the plot should come.

The village chief's daughter's eyes flashed dimly.

"Because I'm sick."

She lowered her head sadly and raised her hand to touch her arm. The long-sleeved trousers she wore were a bit tight, maybe because they were rounded.

"What's wrong? Have you seen a doctor? You look fine now!" Bai Tianqing asked in surprise.

"It doesn't look good..."

The village chief's daughter shook her head and smiled bitterly.

"Then...can I ask how old you are this year?" Bai Tianqing asked again.

"I'm 25, born in 05," said the village chief's daughter.

"What?" Bai Tianqing was stunned.

She realized something and asked nervously: "What year is this year? I have forgotten the day."

"It's been 30 years. Have you forgotten most of your academic pressure? It's normal. It was the same when I was in high school. I was so tired every day that I didn't even know what time it was. Even after the Chinese New Year, I didn't even realize that it was already the New Year." The village chief said The daughter smiled slightly.

She is actually very pretty and has a nice smile.

Bai Tianqing nodded, realizing a time problem.

It is clearly May 2024. Has time here gone six years forward? Or does the village chief's daughter feel that time has been moving forward?

But it seems a bit strange.

"Did you discover that there was something wrong with your health after you were admitted to college?"

"Well, I'm going to report... What a pity." The village chief's daughter sighed.

"It's a pity. At the age of eighteen, I should have had a bright future. Is it really impossible to cure it?"

Bai Tianqing said while watching the changes in her expression.

When the village chief's daughter heard that she was eighteen years old, she just became more sad and did not refute. She just shook her head when she heard the last sentence.

So, she died at the age of 18, which was last year, but did six years of time flow here?

Just looking at her appearance, the village chief's daughter seems to be twenty years old. You can say she is eighteen or twenty-five.

Or did she think she had lived here for so many years?

What is the meaning?

Because she was terminally ill, she pretended that time passed quickly and that she lived for another year?

If this is the case, it can only be arranged by others, such as her father.

The village chief looked like an old woman. It would be understandable if he arranged all this because he loved his daughter.

So, is the village chief's daughter's disease pomegranate disease?

Why are the people in the village more serious than the village chief's daughter, and why is the village chief fine?

Bai Tianqing thought carefully and said again: "Instead of talking about these, let's talk about the village? I think the village is full of old people and children. Are they left behind?"

The village chief's daughter nodded and said, "Yes, we are very poor here, and all the young people have gone to work. It was not easy for me to get into college..."

She felt sad again. "Then... I think the people in the village don't seem to be very healthy. Are you so poor here? I don't mean anything else. I just want to ask. If the economic conditions here are really not good, I can write about it in my homework. , maybe it can help you get some social attention and support."

"You have the same illness. Maybe you can get some help?"

"I don't need your help!" The village chief came angrily.

"Dad!" The village chief's daughter quickly stood up to stop him.

"Get out, I don't need you to be hypocritical. If you keep doing this, you will stay wherever you like tonight!" The village chief was very angry and did not listen to his daughter at all.

Bai Tianqing explained as he walked out: "I don't mean anything else, don't be angry."

"roll!"

Bai Tianqing was kicked out.

She stood at the door for a while, sighed, and turned around.

Then she noticed that it suddenly became dark.

She looked up and saw that the sky was already dim, but now the last light was gone.

And the wind picked up.

During the day, I had goosebumps all over my body, and I felt like something was waking up in the ground beneath my feet.

She ran towards Aunt Tian's house.

It was getting darker and darker. When she ran to the door of Aunt Tian's house, it was already so dark that she couldn't see her fingers.

She didn't even know how to get back to Aunt Tian's house.

A hand suddenly grabbed her. Bai Tianqing was startled. She saw that the blood vessels in that pale hand were unusually obvious. She recognized it as He Jiahuan, so she did not resist and allowed the other party to drag her into darkness.

As if she had passed through some kind of substance, a glimmer of light quickly lit up in front of her eyes.

She showed up at Aunt Tian's house.

Aunt Tian is plugging the door bolt.

"Just come back. I've prepared a room for you. Go to bed and leave tomorrow morning."

Bai Tianqing followed her to the room and asked, "Village Chief, what's going on?"

Aunt Tian glanced at her and said, "It's just what you saw."

Bai Tianqing: "..."

"What exactly is pomegranate disease? Does it really turn into a pomegranate?" Bai Tianqing was really unwilling.

"You'll know tomorrow." Aunt Tian sighed, took her to the room, and pointed to the food on the table.

"Eat it, you'll be fine after tonight."

During the day, his face turns green.

"Okay, I'm going to rest too. You two should go to bed early. Did you see the time? You must close your eyes before nine o'clock in the evening!"

The last sentence is like a reminder of some rules.

Bai Tianqing followed her words and looked at the clock hanging on the wall.

Half past five in the afternoon.

ah? Is it already afternoon?

No, it’s so dark at half past five?

All right.

Then there is actually still time to chat.

Bai Tianqing looked at He Jiahuan.

He Jiahuan picked up the plate with a smile and said, "Baby, eat first, don't talk while eating or sleeping. We'll talk after eating."

Bai Tianqing: "..."

I'm taking a day off tomorrow. I haven't had a good rest. My neighbor is decorating at noon. I'm really speechless. He doesn't decorate his house at other times. Maybe he's free at noon. I'm too tired. I need to take a day off.
