Continued: People who have died once
The meandering river runs through the edge of City C, and the further south you go, the wider the river* becomes, until it reaches the junction with the sea and flows into the ocean. On both sides of the river, there are high mountains and mountains, and there are many small villages looming, scattered in a field of yellow, yellow, green and green.
The small village is sparsely populated, and there are still some elderly people, and most of the younger generation of the family have gone to work in the city, which makes the village even more deserted.
There is a small hut near the river, some distance from the village. I don't know when someone built it, but the house is very simple, and if it rains heavily outside, it will rain lightly here.
A wooden plank was chuang, and a small table with a pile of straw in the corner. The sheets on the chuang are very thin and dirty, and in this early autumn season, although it is not cold during the day, due to the proximity to the river, the temperature at night is low, as if it is winter.
The house is empty, and the people who live here are now washing clothes by the river......
The thin figure squatted by the river, bending down and concentrating on rubbing the clothes in the hands, the water was a little cold, but she didn't even frown, her face was expressionless, only mechanical movements.
There was running water in the village, but she wouldn't go in. Her usual range of activities is only the hut and the river, and the hut will not have running water, she uses the river water to wash her clothes, although it is cold, but she never complains.
It sounds incredible that a person who has enjoyed the glory and wealth can live such a hard life here, but the fact is that she has allowed herself to live in a completely different world from the past, whether it is thoughts, cognitions, and concepts, they are undergoing earth-shaking changes.
The river was cold, but no matter how cold it was, it couldn't compare to the coldness of her heart, and all thoughts were lost, and she lived like a walking corpse......
Is this really alive? The world in her eyes is only gray, losing its luster and temperature. What she hates most now is the daytime, because the sun can shine all the ugliness on her. She just wanted to hide in the darkness and not see those disgusting scars, so that she could relax a little and move on to the next tomorrow with a sigh of relief......
After her clothes were washed, the river in front of her was quiet again, and her figure could be reflected on the surface of the river, but she ran back to the hut as if she was in a hurry to escape. She couldn't look her face in the face, and if she looked at it a few more times, she really didn't doubt that she would want to isolate herself from this hut. In the past, she had a stunningly beautiful face, pretty and delicate, white and flawless, and walking on the streets of the city would always attract a lot of envious eyes...... But now, if someone sees her, I'm afraid they will think they see a ghost.
Therefore, she insisted on refusing to go into the village, and only struggled to survive in this hut outside. She was afraid of scaring others, and even more afraid of seeing people's frightened eyes.
The only person who was not afraid of her was the peasant who saved her life, an old woman over sixty years old.
The old woman's surname is Sun, and it is said that her daughter worked in the city and settled down in the city, leaving Grandma Sun alone in the village.
The old man is simple and kind, with a compassionate heart, she saved Xiaoying's life, and also bought some medicine for Xiaoying with her meager living expenses, so as to pull Xiaoying back from the ghost gate, otherwise, she would have died in the hut a week ago.
That night, she was picked up from the river by a group of unknown people and then brutally thrown down, seriously injured and had a high fever.
People who have died once look at many people and things differently than before, and when she thinks of all the things in the past, she only feels like the dust and smoke of the past, like a spring and autumn dream...... That's all from the previous life, and now she only has a memory.
Xiaoying was originally a strong and independent girl, and she had a privileged and happy life in the Fan's Mansion, but before that, her life was still miserable, but even so, it didn't break her, it didn't break her belief in life, she thought she had become very brave, but the cruel reality tore her apart.
Now, although she has a life, she has many scars on her body and face due to the delay in the best time to heal. On the right cheek, there is a striking wound that extends from below the cheekbone to the cheek, the length of an index finger...... On his forehead, there was also a slanted wound on the center of his eyebrows......
The two wounds were like two ugly centipedes, ruining the original beauty of the face. Because the wound is deep and long, the treatment time is missed, and there is an infection, which is why it is the way it is now. When I was first injured, although the wound was deep, if I could stitch it in time, there would only be a thin trace after healing, and then a small surgery to remove the scar could be done, but now, the muscles on both sides did not grow together, but new flesh grew in the middle of the gap...... In this way, even after healing, her face will be like having two more mouths.
Only scar removal surgery can solve the problem for Xiaoying, but it does not mean that all the scars can disappear without a trace, it also depends on what the specific situation will be after the scar grows to maturity.
However, scar removal surgery is not done now, it is done until the scar matures. In other words, even if Xiaoying flies to the plastic surgery hospital immediately, it is useless, this scar will accompany her for at least half a year, and then she can have surgery. Moreover, such a deep wound is very difficult to treat, and it is too difficult and difficult to restore the former appearance......
This is only in a conspicuous place, and some of the wounds on Xiaoying's body that were covered by clothes, because the sand and stones in the river seeped into the river when they were injured, and the tattoo scars formed after not being cleaned were ......
The shattered body encased a heart that had been shattered into dust, and Xiao Ying's deepest wound was invisible, in her heart and spirit.
Every day after waking up, she was able to sleep peacefully, as soon as she closed her eyes, the moment she had an accident, the car flew off the road into the air and fell. The horror and despair at that time, the trembling that can make her soul tremble, are deeply engraved in her mind, and become an insurmountable barrier for her. Nightmares are repeated, and I often can't sleep until dawn when I can't hold on, but I will soon wake up.
The physical injuries and mental torture have destroyed Xiaoying's will inch by inch, she did not contact Fandi, did not contact her family, she only felt that she was a person abandoned by fate, a person who should not live at all, she was thinking about the bits and pieces of the past every day, there were pains, joys and awakenings...... She was infatuated with Fandi, but in exchange for him pushing her into the arms of others. He was happy to see her dating Lu Zhehao, and before that, he deliberately accepted her as his sister-in-law, these actions, now that he thinks about it, it is not only good for her, but also an extreme cruelty.
People who have died once cannot be compared with ordinary people in their thinking, and there is no conclusion on whether the things they perceive are good or bad. And now Xiaoying's reason for not contacting Fandi is actually very simple...... That man pushed her into Lu Zhehao's arms, otherwise how could she suffer a great disaster?
Hehe...... Man, man...... I like you, you don't have to know. But now, I'm going to live for myself. From now on, my world will be without you, I will live in my own way, and you don't have to know. I, Vandy, will not cross paths again......
No one can understand Xiaoying's pain, when she got out of the car*, she was destined to change the trajectory of her life in the future. Whether it was reborn or destroyed, it was all in her thoughts......
There were no cooking tools in the hut, and Grandma Sun would bring food whenever it was time to eat.
Most of them are vegetarian dishes, and there is very little meat, which is very unfavorable for the injured to recuperate, and Grandma Sun also knows this, today, she stewed chicken soup, and the chicken breast was used to fry and eat.
Tonight's dinner was the most sumptuous meal in the week that Xiaoying woke up, but she didn't eat it immediately, but held chopsticks in a daze.
Grandma Sun's thin face was wrinkled, and her short body sat opposite Xiaoying, smiling at her affectionately: "What's wrong?" Why don't you eat it? ”
Xiao Ying licked her lips, and a little doubt appeared in her dark eyes: "Grandma Sun, this is a whole chicken, how much did you spend to buy it, it's expensive, right?" ”
Xiaoying also probably knows about Grandma Sun's situation in the past few days, this old man lives a hard life, and he relies on the pitiful living expenses given by his daughter every month, and he is usually reluctant to eat meat, so he lives tightly, why did he suddenly send a big hen today? That has to make the old man spend a lot of money for her, how can Xiaoying be happy.
"Oh, don't worry, I didn't spend any money...... Even if my family feeds an old hen, it's time to slaughter and eat, just to replenish your body, you see that you are so thin that the wind blows down, but it can't go on like this. Grandma Sun said with a smile as she sandwiched a chicken leg to Xiaoying, and her loving face was extraordinarily warm.
Xiao Ying breathed a little, her face changed slightly, her hand under the table suddenly clenched, and the position of her heart twitched fiercely...... Grandma Sun said that she raised an old hen at home, so the eggs laid by this chicken are Grandma Sun's rations, usually most of them are vegetarians, this egg is considered a good thing, it is Grandma Sun's nutritional supply, but now Grandma Sun actually killed the old hen?
Grandma Sun must have done this to replenish her body. A chicken is nothing, and it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of many people, but in the current situation, this chicken, Grandma Sun's mind, is heavier than the mountains!
Xiaoying's heart was very sore, but she didn't say anything, because she knew that at this moment, the happiest thing for Granny Sun should be to see her eat more.
Xiao Ying silently nibbled on the chicken leg and drank the chicken soup, and the lost fighting spirit suddenly came up...... She can't be depressed, she wants to repay Grandma Sun! Every day here, she must keep in mind that she will repay the old man in front of her ten times more than she is today......
