Rent Affair

Chapter 17

One of them clenched his fist, and the wind of the fist was fierce, and he hit me straight in the face. The speed of this punch made it difficult for me to dodge. Pointing, but suddenly hot air rose up in the body, running along the blood vessels, as if to break through the shackles of the veins, the blue veins bulged, the hot air was close to the chest and merged with the long-dormant Yin Qi, and it was cold for a while The heat and anxiety made me feel unbearable pain, and I seemed to see some incomplete pictures in front of my eyes. The small figure in the picture was wearing a wedding dress and holding my hand...

This broken picture flashed in my mind, I had a splitting headache, I yelled, and the hot air swept across my whole body in an instant, gushing out, and the air waves were turbulent.

The person in front of him didn't get his fist, but he was struck back by the surging air wave and fell to the ground with a "plop", his throat tightened, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Said, "You...you are a god?"

When the people around heard what the man said, they looked at me in astonishment, and whispered to the people beside them. When Huzi saw this scene, he was so frightened that he didn't even bother to pick up the pickaxe, and lay on the ground people fled back to the village.

"Immortal?" I murmured, the power just now was too strong, I am just an ordinary person, how can I have such a strong energy, could it be...

I turned my head to look at Xiaoying, and saw that she had been hiding behind me, tired by the heat wave, squatting on the ground, clutching her chest, with blood dripping from the corner of her mouth, I rushed forward and asked her if she was okay .

Xiaoying was impacted by the air wave, her internal organs were injured, and her face was pale. She listened to my question, raised her head, looked at me with surprise in her eyes, and murmured, "No...no way!"

I saw that Xiao Ying knew something, and hurriedly asked, "What? Why don't you? How many things do you have to hide from me?"

Xiaoying looked at me, the surprise in her eyes softened a little, she stroked my cheek gently with her hands, and said softly, "Have you remembered everything?"

I shook my head, the picture in my mind was just a flash, not too coherent, my intuition told me that all of these things were related to what Xiaoying deliberately concealed from me, Xiaoying saw me shaking her head, her brows remained unmoved, like water There was a little disappointment in her eyes, but the look disappeared in a flash, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said that it's okay if she can't remember, it's not the time to remember.

"What exactly do you want to remind me of, you can tell me directly, why do you have to let me think about it alone?" I hated the feeling of being hung up on my appetite, and asked eagerly.

Xiaoying took my arm, stood up tremblingly, smiled and said, "You have to think about these things yourself!"

I kept silent, and my heart was even more puzzled. Why do I have to think about some things by myself? I don’t even know why I was involved in it. She smiled wryly twice, really didn't know what Xiaoying was trying to trick.Xiaoying noticed my expression, nodded slightly, and kept silent, the atmosphere was extremely awkward for a while.

"Uncle Immortal, how long can I live?" One person took my hand and pleaded. This hand was very small and slippery.

"I'm not some kind of fairy! Get away!" I was annoyed, I shook off the man's hand, looked sideways, and saw that the person who was interrogating was a little girl, her eyes were watery and tears glistened. Flashing, this little girl seems to be only seven or eight years old, with a ponytail and plain clothes, she looks like she is also from Qingniu Village, I saw that what I said just now frightened her, I squatted down hurriedly, He touched her head and comforted her, "Little friend, what's your name?"

The little girl dodged her eyes, took a step back timidly, and whispered, "I...my name is Xiaoyue!"

"Uncle was bad just now, he lost his temper and scared Xiaoyue! Uncle apologizes to you, okay?" As I said, I didn't care about Xiaoyue when I was angry with Xiaoying just now, and lost my temper on the child. It also makes me feel a little guilty.

Xiaoyue sized me up a few times, and seemed a bit timid, "Uncle, are you a god?" The voice was extremely soft, if it wasn't too close, it might have been drowned out by the surrounding noise.

I smiled and replied, "No, uncle! There are no gods in this world!"

After hearing this, Xiaoyue's little face showed disappointment, and the tears that hadn't receded welled up in her eyes again, flowing down her pink and tender face, and she raised her little hand trying to wipe away the tears on her face .

I don't know why a child is so superstitious about the fairy tales, and he cried out when he heard my words, which made me not know what to do for a while.

"Xiaoyue, why did this kid come here?"

The person who came was a village woman in her early thirties. She had been working in the village all year round, and she looked a bit old. The woman walked up to Xiaoyue, grabbed Xiaoyue's hand, and scolded, "You little bastard!" Why don't you listen to mother's words, you have to come to the village, in case you meet a bad person and get taken away by ye, what will ye ask mother to do?"

Xiaoyue lowered her head, fiddled with her fingers, and sobbed back, "Mother, Xiaoyue was wrong!"

Seeing Xiaoyue admitting her mistake, the woman didn't blame her anymore, and hugged her lovingly. Seeing the tear stains on Xiaoyue's face, she asked concerned, "Xiaoyue, why are you crying?"

It's nothing to ask, Xiaoyue cried even louder when she heard it, saying that there are no gods in this world, she couldn't bear to part with her mother.

The woman put her face against Xiaoyue's little cheek, comforting, "Don't worry, Mom won't let you leave me!"

Listening to what the mother and daughter said, I was curious about the relationship between the fairy and the separation, so I asked, "Sister, why does Xiaoyue keep talking about the fairy?"

The woman sighed and said that the village was crowded with people, so it was not a place to talk, and asked me to follow her to the house. I looked around at the outsiders gathered at the village entrance, and they were still talking about me in a low voice, thinking about how to meet this woman. Her family is also good, so she nodded.

Due to the impact of the air wave, Xiaoying's face was very pale, her feet were unsteady, and she leaned against me. Although she kept hiding things from me, she took good care of me. Now that she was hurt by me again, I was angry that she didn't tell me In fact, it can be seen that she is like this, let alone ignore her, he simply picked her up by the waist, and followed the woman towards her house.

This woman's home is on the east side of Qingniu Village, which is considered the boundary of the village, but this woman is not considered a villager. There are no lights on the night roads in the village, and the potholes are easy to fall if you don't pay attention. , I was extra careful, lest I accidentally fall and make her hurt even more. It's not far from the path to the woman's house, but I walked for half an hour.

When I got to the gate of the courtyard and looked inside, I saw a low, small earthen house. The windows of the earthen house were covered with thick plastic sheeting, and there was a whirring sound when the night wind blew. Some vegetables were planted in the yard. After entering the room, the woman lit a candle. Because it was located on the edge of the village, there were no wires, so the light from the candle reflected the light. There was nothing else in the house except the kang, the stove, and some pots and bowls. The life of mother and daughter is hard.

The woman asked me to put Xiaoying on the kang first, and she went to the yard to fetch a bucket of well water, lit the stove and burned it up. I asked the woman why she let a child as big as Xiaoyue believe Are there gods?

When the woman heard me ask about this, she waved to Xiaoyue and asked her to play in the yard for a while. Xiaoyue was very obedient, and walked out of the house bouncing. Turned ruddy, sighed softly, and talked about Xiaoyue.

Xiaoyue is a poor girl. Her mother died of dystocia when she was born. When she was just one year old, his father fell to his death while working on a construction site. The woman in front of her was Xiaoyue's aunt. He raised her like his own daughter, but everyone in the village said that Xiaoyue was the lone star of the gods, and the people around him were so scared that they drove her out of the village. A woman and a child left the village How to let them live?Xiaoyue's aunt knocked on the door to plead for mercy, and the villagers were moved, so they reluctantly agreed to let the two of them live in this small earthen house next to the village, but they were not allowed to set foot in the village, saying that they were afraid of offending Xiaoyue. The bad luck of the month.

In this way, the two depended on each other to hide in this small earthen house. Three years passed in a blink of an eye. That year, a traveling monk came to the east of the village. It can be seen that 5000 years later, and 5000 years later, people in the village invited the monk to visit their home. The monk was loved and loved in the village, and he stayed there for half a month. Passing by this small earthen house, knocked on the courtyard door a few times and walked in, just met Xiaoyue mixing mud in the courtyard.

The walking monk walked up to Xiaoyue, patted Xiaoyue's head and said, "Son, do you know where you come from?"

Xiaoyue was young, how could she understand the meaning of these words, she shook her head, blinked her eyes, and asked in a childish voice, "Uncle, why did you come to my house?"

Xiaoyue's aunt heard someone talking in the yard, and hurried out of the house, and saw the walking monk who was full of praise from the villagers. She also wanted to invite this walking monk to her home for Xiaoyue to see She looked at it, but this came uninvited, which really surprised her.

She hurried forward to ask the monk to go into the house. The monk folded his hands together, said "Amitabha", and said, "Almsgiver, there is no need to be polite. The poor monk just came to see the child. Without permission, he will come to the house without permission." Please forgive me for breaking in!"

Xiaoyue's aunt saw that the monk was so polite, and she felt a little fond of him, but she heard him say that he came to see Xiaoyue, and asked anxiously, "Master, my baby's life is hard, my parents are gone, ye Let her see if she has provoked anything?"

The traveling monk smiled faintly, and said, "This child was not born by you, but was raised by you. It's God's will in the dark, but it's a pity that she suffered a lot since birth, and her life was ruined. I'm afraid she won't live long." , if there are gods to help, this child will definitely break through his fate and live a long life!"

Xiaoyue's aunt only listened to the general idea and presumed that Xiaoyue would not live long if there were no gods. Her face changed, and she knelt down in front of the traveling monk, begging, "Master, ye!" Just do it and save Xiaoyue!"

"Amitabha!" The monk bowed and said, "The poor monk is a monk, not one of the immortals, so how can he help?" After speaking, the monk ignored him, turned around and walked west go.

After hearing this, I understood why Xiaoyue dragged me at the entrance of the village and asked me if I was a god. It was really hard for this child to come, but the traveling monk didn't take any money. Unlike other swindlers, he was quite a living Buddha. It's a pity that Xiaoyue's little life has lived for a few years, and it's a pity when I think about it.

"What does the traveling monk you mentioned look like?" Xiao Ying stood up with his hands on his back, coughed twice, and asked.

Xiaoyue's aunt thought about it, and said that the traveling monk was fair and clean, with thick eyebrows, wearing a tattered cassock and straw sandals, nothing different.
