Volume 1 Fate Doesn't Begin Now, Trick Comes From This Life Chapter 5 A Turning Point in Life
I put away my phone, glanced at Di Wu silently, and then looked at Xiaowei who was resting with her eyes closed, with a solemn expression.
On this incredible night, everything happened so suddenly that it was completely beyond my comprehension. The matter of Di Wu Hundred Eyes Ghost has not been clarified yet, but he sent me a message saying that Xiaowei is weird. This reminds me of a strange story I once saw:
A group of people meet to climb a snowy mountain, but when they are about to reach the top, a girl is unable to continue due to violent alpine sickness. After some discussion, it was decided that the girl would be stationed while the others continued the climb. Before leaving, her boyfriend took her hand and said, wait for me, I will definitely come to pick you up!
A few days later, a figure flashed into the girl's tent, but it wasn't her boyfriendβthe teammates returned, but not her. "There was an avalanche on the way back from the successful summit, and we searched for him for three days, and later found his body in a ravine."
It was getting late, so everyone decided to light a bonfire and wait until dawn before going down the mountain. Just when everyone was drowsy, a man quietly approached the girl with a bloody face, took the girl's hand and ran. The girl looked at it and saw that it was his boyfriend. Fear and surprise instantly invaded the girl's nerves, and behind her was a group of teammates who shouted for her to come back like crazy.
My boyfriend said anxiously, please believe me, we reached the top, but there was an avalanche on the way back, and they all died except me!
It's you, who do you believe?
But it's a pity that this weird night didn't break my nerves, compared to Xiaowei's desperateness, Di Wu's alienation is even more weird, right?
I smiled dismissively.
After Xiaowei was admitted to the hospital, I sat in front of the hospital bed, held Xiaowei's hand, and talked a lot of things to each other. I don't know how long it took, but we fell asleep. Suddenly, I felt someone tapping me on the shoulder, and when I turned my head, it was Di Wu.
"Sister Di......" I opened my mouth to say hello, but found that Di Wu made a boo gesture and motioned for me to come out with her.
In the corridor, Di Wu lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said to me, "My dad is looking for you, come with me now." He's a bit extreme, you don't mind anything. β
I shrugged my shoulders: "Sister Di is serious, the elders are just reprimanding the juniors, what can I mind."
Then I thought that it was still dawn, and I looked at my phone, it was 3:20 in the morning, and I couldn't help but confirm curiously: "Is it now?" "That's right, right now." "I'll go say hello to the nurse, in case I ......" "Xiaowei doesn't need you to worry about it, I have arranged for someone to take care of it." "Sister Di, are you really not jealous?" A loud slap in the face.
Di Wu and I walked out of the hospital, and a Lincoln was already waiting. After getting in the car, Di Wu seemed to be slightly anxious and became a lot more verbose.
"My father's name is Di Qing, and he is the current speaker of our family. Shengming is just one of the properties of our family. β
"I remember I told you that I had a younger brother, but when I was very young, he disappeared. In addition, there is one thing that I only learned today: he, like you, can't see anything in his right eye. β
"I know my previous changes may be very irritating to you, but ......"
I interrupted Di Wu's chatter, patted the back of Di Wu's white hand, and said, "Sister Di, you don't look like yourself a little bit now, don't you really think I'm your missing brother?" Please, be realistic, okay? My orphanage is not difficult to find, if it had been found a long time ago, would I still have to endure all these years of hardship? As for your previous changes, they didn't cause particularly big consequences, did they? It's been two years, and I only remember how much you took care of me, but I didn't hurt it. So," I paused, "Sister Di, you don't have to worry too much." β
Di Wu looked at me deeply, her lips moved, and she didn't speak again.
Lincoln stopped in front of a luxurious villa. Di Wu and I got out of the car, and a butler-like figure was already waiting in front of the door. "Uncle Fu," Di Wu said hello.
Uncle Fu led us into the villa, and immediately said to Di Wu: "Brother Qing has explained, I saw the first flight, Miss, you are waiting in the living room first." β
"Brother Qing" I pursed my lips and almost laughed, but I found that Di Wu was standing still unusually respectfully, so I quickly collected my face, followed Uncle Fu upstairs, and walked into the study.
The dΓ©cor in the study is quite simple and does not match the luxurious style of this villa at all. A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties sat on a sofa, holding a book and sipping tea.
"Brother Qing, the first flight is coming" Uncle Fu bowed down and asked, seeing Di Qing waving his hand, he immediately withdrew respectfully.
"Sit down." Di Qing put down the book and motioned to me. I looked around, in the huge study, there was not even a chair, only the long sofa where Di Qing was sitting. I hesitated for a moment, and simply sat down next to Di Qing.
"First Fly" Di Qing looked at me, "Did you come up with your last name?" β
"Yes," I replied respectfully.
"I know everything about you and Xiao Wu, I originally thought that Xiao Wu was just playing, but I never expected ......it," Di Qing paused and said in a deep voice, "I came to you today because I have a few things to tell you." If you need to express your position, after you have listened, you just need to tell me "yes", I don't want to hear other answers. β
I was speechless for a moment. Di Wu said that his father was extreme, and it seemed that he was not only extreme, but also very exciting - listening to his tone, I was afraid that as long as I said a word, I would disappear on the spot.
"Tonight's matter, I will arrange personnel to deal with it, it will not cause any fluctuations and discussions, it is just the filming of a drama. Externally, you can't say half a word. "Yes."
"Xiao Wu's mutation, I think you have already guessed it, it is a hundred-eyed ghost. I won't hide it from you, our family is a branch of the witch line in ancient times, and a hundred-eyed ghost has been worshiped for generations, which is used to change the fortune of the family and deal with taboo matters. Our family has been able to stand until now without decay because of the gift of the Hundred Eyes Ghost. I told you this, and you must be able to guess what I am going to say next. β
My heart began to beat wildly, and an uneasy feeling gradually settled in my brain. I swallowed hard and pretended to say, "Could it be that you want to find me in.... Superfluous? β
"Huh?" An oozing murderous aura emanated from Di Qing's body. I hurriedly straightened my face and forcibly put on a serious demeanor (in fact, I was both frightened and apprehensive in my heart, because I really didn't want to believe what I was going to say next): "You want to tell me that I am Di Wu's younger brother who disappeared since childhood, the child you lost since childhood. β
"You can teach." Di Qing nodded with satisfaction, "Over the years, in fact, I have always known where you are, but I haven't gone back to find you, do you know why?" β
"Something to do with my left eye?"
"You're really smart, you just don't know how to hide." Di Qing said in a deep voice. "The family that worships the Hyakmei needs to dedicate the spirit of the first to give birth to part of the organs of the new life when each of the descendants reproduces a new life. Di Wu was my first child, but when she was born, she was favored by the Hyakmu Oni, so she made an exception and was not sacrificed. β
"So as a substitute, my right eye spirit was sacrificed?"
"That's right. Lord Hyakumu is very satisfied with your right eye, and she even gave Xiao Wu one of her exquisite heart eyes - in fact, this exquisite heart eye was refined by Lord Hyakumu with the essence of your right eye. With the help of this exquisite heart, Xiao Wu has far beyond ordinary people's learning ability, reaction ability, physical strength and energy, which is the biggest reason why she can now become a business lady in her twenties. β
"But something happened to you during the sacrifice. The Hyakmu Oni-sama absorbs too much of your yang energy, causing your yin energy to be too heavy, and the overflowing yin energy forms an obsession that always tries to regain your right eye. As the essence of the power of the hundred-eyed ghost, Xiao Wu could not be perfectly integrated at the beginning, which often led to a rampage and appeared in the appearance of the hundred-eyed ghost. And your obsession with regaining your right eye has always become the fuse for Xiao Wu's rampage. β
"Even in a large family like ours, family affection is far less important than ordinary people, but in the face of the obsession of a few months old baby, I really don't want to use some tough measures."
"So, you sent me away?"
"It's not all for this reason. In fact, our family has strict secrecy about sacrifices β especially for women. Every sacrificial descendant of our family will be sent to an orphanage after the sacrifice, and maybe when they become adults, they will return to the family by chance, but there are still many children who are missing, and you are not a special case. β
"I've known Di Wu for two years, and she has never gone violent, does it prove that I am no longer the fuse of Di Wu's rampage? What happened to Di Wu's rampage last night? "My worldview has been completely destroyed, and I instinctively hope to find some loopholes in Di Qing's description to prove that all this is Di Qing's nonsense.
Di Qing picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "It is indeed difficult for you to cause Xiao Wu to appear as a ghost." On the one hand, it is because Xiao Wu's control over Linglong's heart is getting stronger and stronger, and on the other hand, as you grow, the vigorous yang energy has gradually dispelled your obsession. β
After a pause, Di Qing continued, "Lord Hundred Eyes Ghost gave Linglong the eyes of the heart when Di Wu was four years oldβof course, Xiao Wu himself didn't know that this was his brother's eyes. On January 24, at 9:50 p.m., the ceremony began, and at 10:20 p.m., the ceremony ended. Therefore, this time of year is the time when Xiao Wu's control over Linglong's heart and eyes is the weakest, and it is also the time when it is easiest to appear as a ghost. Our family uses special Buddha incense ash embedded in the silver bracelet, and around this week every year, Xiao Wu will be brought on to suppress the violent movement of Linglong's heart. It's just that this year, when you went out together, Xiao Wu lost the bracelet. β
Something has happened lately, so I want you to come back to the clan and assist me in something big. Di Qing looked at me quietly, now, do you have anything else to ask?
Yes. I raised my head and met Di Qing's gaze, I have already had a relationship with Di Wu, and now you tell me that we are sisters and brothers?
So what? A smile appeared at the corner of Di Qing's mouth, Di Wu, who was fused with the delicate eyes, whether from a medical point of view or from a family point of view, she is no longer my daughter, I won't mind what you two have done.
I could hardly believe my ears when I heard that. Why am I the descendant of this deformed family? What exactly am I doing wrong?
Of course, I will never allow the two of you to get married. Di Qing added lightly, after all, to the outside world, you are still my children. From tomorrow onwards, you are not allowed to have any more dealings with Di Wu, and you are not allowed to have any more information. I have decided that in the near future, I will officially announce the news of your recovery. Whether it is the various "snices" or "phoenix men" that you and Di Wu have rumored to be outside, I will let Ah Fu send someone to deal with them and correct them as a joke made by my sister and brother who have not seen each other for many years. This kind of thing, he is the best at it.
So what if I don't want to say the word "yes" again this time? I frowned and asked unwillingly.
You won't. Di Qing smiled at me slightly, and the smile made my heart chill: After all, compared to the snyrup rat who does Di Wu, I think, you can't rest assured that Xiaowei of yours, right? I can give you half a month to think about it. Also, you'd better not think about sending Xiaowei away, she has to stay here during this time. With my energy, it's easy to find a little girl. Oh, by the way, you've been fired from Shengming Corporation.
It is clearly a scene where father and son recognize each other, but the whole conversation hides murderous intentions. Perhaps, from the day I was sent away, I was a chess piece without any family affection in Di Qing's hands.
Walking out of the study, Di Wu was no longer there. Not surprisingly, Di Qing and Uncle Fu should have already told her what they were going to say.
The Lincoln was still parked outside the villa, waiting to take me back.
I walked into the car and sat still. This Chinese New Year's Eve, so much happened. So much so that I don't know how to deal with it.
Before leaving, Miss asked me to tell you that she shouldn't have argued with you last time, and that Jim Carrey is indeed very handsome. The driver, who was driving, suddenly said something.
Jim Carrey? I was confused for a while, and then I remembered that I had told Di Wu before that the first amazing movie I was reading was "Truman's World" starring Jim Carrey.
What does Di Wu want to express? Want to tell me that everything is fake, so that I don't believe it?
reminds me of the text message Di Wu sent me before: This girl is weird. More and more, I felt as if a large net was slowly spreading towards me.
