Taboo Master

Chapter 42

I immediately became refreshed. Who came out in the middle of the night?
Through the small window on the wall, I vaguely saw that the figure who quietly walked out of the West Room was Xin Ya.

My heart moved, did she come to see Chen Hanyang?Still, come and see me?
But she looked gloomy and lowered her head. Instead of walking towards us, she pushed open the door and walked out.

Strange, where is she going in the middle of the night?
For Xinya, she always feels a bit mysterious, especially at this moment, it is already twelve midnight, what is she going out to do in this strange small mountain village?
I decided to follow.

Looking back at Chen Hanyang, this kid seems to have nothing to do, and looking at Wang Yu, he is also soundly asleep, um, it is better not to wake Wang Yu up, so as not to cause more trouble.

I gently pushed open the door and walked out. The courtyard was full of stars, and at the gate, a black shadow disappeared in a flash.

I knew it was Xinya, so I quickly followed her. Today I want to see what secret she has.

The whole village has already fallen into a deep sleep, there is not even a single house with a light on, it is pitch black everywhere, and the sky is the waning moon, I have to say, in such a scene, Xin Ya walked out alone, it is really a bit strange to think about it. Creepy.

I followed Xinya and walked straight along the dirt road in the village, but the direction she was walking was in the direction of the mountain.

That's the direction we're going down the mountain. What's she going to do?
Xin Ya's figure was erratic, but she didn't walk fast. I was afraid of being spotted by her, so I stayed far behind. Anyway, the terrain here is wide, so as long as I keep an eye on her figure, I will never lose track of her.

Soon, she reached the head of the village, and the road up the mountain was ahead, but she suddenly turned around and instead of going up the mountain, she walked to the right side of the village.

This is even more strange, we are all visiting this village for the first time, why does she seem to be very familiar with the path from her appearance?

I quickly chased after her, bypassing the entrance of the village, and Xin Ya's figure appeared in front of her again, still in the same state, with her head lowered, walking unhurriedly, as if she was thinking about something on her mind.

After another hundred meters or so, the sound of running water suddenly came from ahead, not loud, but enough for people to distinguish in this quiet night.

I suddenly remembered, this should be the small river that surrounds the village. Could it be that Xinya is going to the river?
Just as she was thinking about it, the small river appeared in front of her, with gurgling water and starlight, Xinya stopped and stood by the small river, staring into the distance in a daze.

Is she waiting for someone?Or, just out to relax?

I stood tens of meters behind her, next to a big tree, but I didn't even dare to breathe. I stared at her back wonderingly, wondering what would happen next.

Perhaps, her secret will be unintentionally revealed by me tonight.

For a long time, Xinya didn't move, she just stood there alone, the wind by the river brushed her long hair, fluttering in the dark night, like a statue from ancient times.

It was a long time again, and I felt that I could not help but want to rush out, about half an hour had passed, but she just stood there, not moving and not talking, for a moment I almost had the illusion that that Just a willow tree on the bank of a river.

I secretly thought, you old man is too patient, so at least you can talk to yourself and let me hear some secrets, okay?

At this moment, Xin Ya suddenly said faintly: "You said, am I really an ominous person?"

I was shocked, who is this talking to?
I didn't dare to say anything, but I hid myself behind the tree again, but she paused for a moment, and then said, "Han Qingtian, can you really help me?"

I'm a little confused, is she talking to herself, or has she already discovered me?
I still didn't move, I had to figure out the situation before I spoke, and hearing what she said, it seemed that she had begun to believe me.

Xin Ya was talking again: "I know, everyone thinks I'm an ominous person, are you just curious about me? What happened today, although no one said anything, but I know, everyone's heart, They all thought it was because of me, but if you had listened to me and didn’t come to this mountain, then nothing would have happened, but no one would believe what I said, you would only think that I was a crow’s mouth, All of this is because of my vicious curse, I know, I know, you all think so..."

Her voice became more and more excited, and I couldn't help being stunned. I didn't expect her to have such intense thoughts under her calm surface, but what she said was wrong. I never thought about it that way. I think, if She is a vicious curse, so why say it out to remind and warn us, I always thought that this is just a special kind of predictive ability of hers, but most people in this world don't believe it, so, will have this consequence.

I can't help but want to jump out, I want to tell her that not everyone is so ignorant, and she shouldn't be so lonely, her special ability can help others, that is her pride, and It shouldn't be a nightmare in her life.

But she was still talking to herself: "I don't know, I don't know what I have to do so that everyone can accept me, sometimes, I don't want to say it, but I can't do it, I can't stand by Watching people around me have accidents, but I pretended not to know... I have been trying to change this doomed fate, to change the misfortune that is about to happen, but I finally found that I can't change anything. What comes will always come, and what should go will eventually go, could it be that I was wrong..."

Her voice became lower and lower, but her body began to tremble. Suddenly, she turned around abruptly, facing my hiding place, and said faintly: "Han Qingtian, do you think I was wrong?"

I was startled again, it turned out that she really found me a long time ago, so I had to walk out slowly, looked at her and said: "No, you are not wrong, it is only those stupid people who can avoid misfortune, But... can you tell me first, how did you know that I was behind, and how did you foresee those disasters and deaths? Believe me, I sincerely want to help you, I am not like those people .”

She looked at me quietly, with a trace of melancholy in her eyes, and said slowly: "You shouldn't have saved him..."

"What?" I asked in surprise, she meant, shouldn't I save Chen Hanyang?

But she didn't answer, her eyes moved to the distance, along the silver river, as if, recalling the past.

"When I was young, there was such a small river in my hometown. It was meandering and beautiful. But when I was born, my mother died of dystocia. Others said that I killed my mother. When I was eight years old, I took My younger brother went to the river to wash clothes, he played on the rocks, and was washed away by the river later. My stepmother and my father had a big fight, saying that I was a loser, and then left us. At the age of 13, I saw my father I begged him not to go to work that morning, but my father lost his temper and beat me, and then... I was left alone."

Xinya's voice was ethereal and far away, which made my heart ache. It turned out that, like me, she was an unfortunate person since she was a child.

"Later, I started to live on campus alone. My uncle's family didn't dare to take me in, and my father's pension was only enough to pay my living expenses and tuition fees. On campus, I was taciturn and didn't dare to say anything. But people still found out about me, and everyone pointed at my back, I endured all of this silently, and I said to myself in my heart, all of this will pass.”

"Until last year, I foresaw the death of two friends again. I couldn't wait to tell them. I thought they were my friends and they should believe me. However, they behaved very angry and disdainful. From their point of view, my abnormality is only out of jealousy towards them, because they all have a good family background, but I am an orphan, a wild child."

Xinya turned to me again when she said this, as if she was talking to herself or asking a question: "But, I just want to help them, I want to save them, why, why is it my fault instead?"

I couldn't help but sighed: "When you were in the car today, you clearly foreseen that something would happen, but you didn't persevere, probably because you were afraid that you would lose these last few friends."

Tears flickered in the corners of Xinya's eyes: "No, this is not the reason, but because, I suddenly felt that things that are destined by fate will not be changed because of someone's foretelling. I tried to prevent the tragedy from happening several times, but none succeeded. The final outcome will never change. I don’t know whether this is someone else’s misfortune or my misfortune. Han Qingtian, tell me, what should I do? "

I was silent, to be honest, I don't know how to face this kind of thing, but I have my principles.

"Xinya, I understand. You know everything, but you are powerless to stop it. I completely understand the pain and entanglement of watching people around you go to death and misfortune, but I don't think you should give up hope and give up from now on. Myself, just like today, Chen Hanyang was destined to die, but we worked hard together, maybe we could save him, Xin Ya, what you did before was correct, what you lack is only someone who can help you That's all."

Xinya looked at me, as if there was something called hope in her eyes, but she turned around and sighed: "But I don't know if our efforts will be in vain, and the final outcome will be in vain. , and will it really change because of this..."

I was puzzled and said, "You mean, Chen Hanyang probably won't survive?"

Xin Ya shook her head: "That's not what I'm talking about, you know why I came here tonight?"

I was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you come out to relax because you were in a bad mood?"

She suddenly smiled, and that smile looked so poignant in the dark night. She looked at the river at her feet and said, "I came here just to prove one thing—whether I can really stop Death, or, just Slowed it down..."
