Midnight Forced Marriage

Chapter 278

"Yeah." Madam Xiaojia nodded, "But I won't look for him again, and I won't be aimless like before, just obsessing over him and annoying him."

"Bored?" I was very sensitive at this moment, and Mrs. Xiaojia's story made me think of He Yu.

Maybe I still have a chance to meet him, and occasionally hear about him... Perhaps, it is precisely because of his leaving without saying goodbye, parting forever in imagination, and the regret and disappointment of never seeing him again that makes me love him Be more persistent and never forget.Perhaps, it was simply a commotion because of not being able to get it.If he was really by my side, maybe I would still choose Chu Yue?
"Yeah, he didn't want to see me, but I kept looking for him until he retreated and never saw me again. I didn't even have a little news... I still haven't given up on that. Isn't it strange?"

Madam Xiaojia spoke happily, as if this experience was both bitter and sweet, and it was a good memory.

"Let me start from the beginning." Madam Xiaojia said, "It's a somewhat remote wishing pool called Chi Lin, named after a total of [-] wishing pools. In other words, one hundred and eight kinds of wishes can be made , but only one wish can be made a day, so many people simply live there and make many wishes one by one every day. When I traveled there, I thought that people with many wishes would be afraid of the unknown, and wandered in the past, thinking that there was business to do But I used up all my money there, and I didn’t get any business. So I just thought about taking a coin to make a wish, hoping to have a business today. But I accidentally made a mistake and got a jade money."

"I regret it to death. The pond is shallow. I tried to catch it but I couldn't catch it. I was pushed further away by the small fish in the pond, and it was in the middle of the pond." Madam Xiaojia said, her expression was like a little girl, She is very cute, her expression is sometimes anxious and sometimes depressed, just like returning to the beginning, "After that, someone patted me on the back from behind, and lifted my collar, almost stuck me to death."

"It's him?"

"Yeah." Mrs. Xiao Jia nodded, "Very rude, right? I was so angry at the time, I wanted to fight him... Of course, he was a man, and he was so tall, so I couldn't beat him. I just wanted to calm down and hide. Stay away. I didn't expect that he didn't know good from bad, and after provoking others, he criticized and educated me."

"Educate you what?"

"It says that things in the wishing pool cannot be fished out, and even the water is not allowed to be touched."

"It makes sense."

"The problem is," Mrs. Jia said with her hands on her hips, angrily, "he went to wash his hands in the wishing pool as soon as he finished talking about me, and even stepped on two lotus pods in the pool."

"That's going too far."

"I also questioned him, and he said that this forest belongs to his family, and he can step on and do whatever he wants." Mrs. Xiaojia said, "The most exaggerated thing is that he continued to laugh at me, saying that I and those who came to make a wish or even Anyone who lives and makes one hundred and eight wishes is a fool. To say that this is just an ordinary pool, which has no effect and is just a psychological effect, is lying to himself, he is a fool.”

I frowned, "No way?"

"Just as I was about to lose my temper, I was accidentally squeezed into a pool, and I was completely soaked." Madam Xiaojia said, "He laughed and stretched out his hand to save me from the side. .”

"That's still a nice guy."

"But" Mrs. Xiaojia had a sweet face just now, and suddenly she said through gritted teeth, "but he asked me to pay for that little fish in the pond that I accidentally crushed to death!"

"Little fish... is also quite pitiful."

"He said it was something he was going to fry tonight!"

"Eh?" I was puzzled for a moment, "This gentleman is... what kind of character?"

"The yin and yang are strange, and you are so weird!" Mrs. Xiaojia raised her face and her face was still flushed. "Who do you think this is? The Wishing Pond is a holy place, but he made it into a mess by himself, and even put the fish in the roe. Fried small fish to eat? I don’t know how many he ate?”

"and after?"

"Aren't I drenched all over? I didn't bother with him too much. I ran back to my residence, took a shower and changed my clothes. I was thinking about going out to find business at night, but I didn't expect someone to knock on the door. I thought it was urging me to pay the rent. Yes, but I didn’t want to be him when I opened the door.” Madam Xiaojia’s voice was eloquent, and she spoke wonderfully, “I thought he came to the door to fight again, and I was still angry when I spoke rudely to him. Unexpectedly, he said that he would Do a magic trick for me, I let him go, he spread his hands in front of my eyes, and in his hand was the jade coin."

"He picked it up for you?"

"It should be." Mrs. Xiaojia said, "He said he picked it up on purpose to return it to me. Although the jade money came back, I was still very angry, so I satirized him and asked him how many people throw it away in the wishing pool every year. Did he take a lot of money to make a wish? I thought he would be angry, but I didn’t expect him to say foolishly, yes, the money was specially used to support him.”

I raised my eyebrows, "Such a cynical person?"

"No." Madam Xiaojia smiled helplessly, "Afterwards, he also said that he would treat me to dinner."

"Did you eat fried fish?"

"No." Madam Xiaojia shook her head, "It's boiled fish."

"It's still a fish..."

"He said that he mainly only eats the things in the wishing pool. The vegetarian dishes are lotus cakes, lotus root, and the meat dishes are fish. He can cook them in various ways, which are more than the number in the wishing pool. There are not many of these things in winter, so I use the money from the wishing pool to go down the mountain to exchange for something to eat.”

"Then what does he do? Watching the pool?"

"He himself said yes, but after thinking about it, it doesn't make sense." Mrs. Xiaojia said, "Because it is said that no one lives in the Wishing Pool for a long time, and those who stay overnight to make more wishes mostly live for [-] people. The sky went away, and came back to say that the Wishing Fountain is haunted."

"Haunted?" I wondered, "Really?"

"Who knows?" Mrs. Xiaojia said, "Anyway, those who lived for a few days longer said that the mountain was haunted by ghosts after they went down, and they also said that the wishes they made were made by those ghosts. Anyone whose wishes come true , will be haunted by ghosts afterwards. You see, this matter is actually quite fair, the wish has been fulfilled, but at the same time other disasters have happened to me.”

I was taken aback and smiled, "So it's so difficult to make a wish and get something for nothing?"

"Who knows?" Madam Xiaojia also laughed.

"Have you lived there long?"

"It's been a long time." Madam Xiaojia said, "I've lived there for three years."

"Haven't you encountered a ghost?" If you haven't encountered a ghost in three years, then the ghosts encountered by others will be "ghosts"!

"Met."

"what?"

"Yes, I met it." Mrs. Xiao Jia suddenly became emotionally distressed, "I met it, but he blocked it for me."

"Huh?" I asked suspiciously, "Is he... an exorcist?"

"I thought it was at first, but he denied it." Mrs. Xiaojia said, "The thing is like this. Since that day...to be honest, I have been very curious about him.
