Seeing my parents' panicked looks, I knew that I was in trouble, and admitted that I used the peach wood talisman as a "sword" to fight with my friends.

Mom hurriedly asked, what about the peach wood charm?

I said, I forgot to get it back.

Mom asked again, where did you leave it?

It was so crazy at the time that I can't remember where I left it.

Mom asked me where I had gone with the mahogany charm.

I told her where I went.

Mom didn't even cook anymore, so she went out with Dad to find it.

I knew I had made a mistake, and I had to go out with them to find it.

Mom said, you can't go out, you just wait at home.

I don't know why my mom didn't let me go out, but it just so happened that my hands hurt so much that I didn't finish my homework, so I didn't go out with me.

After my parents went out to look for the peach wood talisman, I wrote my homework for a while, but I couldn't hold on anymore, so I had to rub my left hand desperately, hoping to relieve the pain.

At that time, what scared me was not that I lost my peach wood talisman, but that if I couldn't finish my homework at night, I would definitely be criticized by the teacher the next day.

Just as I was rubbing my hands, I heard footsteps coming from the doorway.

I thought my mom and dad were back and hurried to the door to look.

When I got to the door, I didn't see my parents, but I saw a little girl leaning against the door.

When she saw me, she asked, is your peach wood talisman missing?

I was in so much pain, and I didn't know her, so I said angrily, "What's the matter with you?"

She had a fiercer temper than mine, and said to me viciously, "You wear mine, eat me, and live in mine."

Then her eyes seemed to penetrate my body, and she said coldly, your skin is mine!

I listened to her words, chilled all over, and blurted out, it's not yours! You're trying to rob me!

After saying this, I didn't even realize why I said that. It's as if it wasn't me who just spoke.

The girl was startled by my words, shuddered, shrank her head, and left in a panic.

That day, my father and mother found it, and it was only after twelve o'clock in the evening that I found my lost peach wood charm in a bush.

By this time, I'd already be asleep. This time I was sleepy, but the pain kept me from sleeping.

When my parents entered the door, they were greeted by a cold air.

I thought they were going to scold me. But they didn't. It struck me as strange. I thought to myself, maybe they were too tired.

It wasn't until I learned about the role of the Mahogany Charm a long time later that I realized that they were worried about what would happen to me because of the Peach Charm, so they couldn't bear to blame me.

The next day, I cried and refused to go to school because I didn't finish my homework the night before. I don't want to eat breakfast either.

Mom asked, why don't you go to school?

I said I didn't finish my homework last night.

Mom said, you bring your homework and tell me what I didn't write.

I brought my homework book and told her what she hadn't done.

My mother has always been very strict with my studies, and when I was in elementary school, I was a bit of a competitive, and I was in the top three in my class in almost every exam. If I win the first place, my mother will reward me. If you win the second place, the reward given by your mother will be halved. If you finish third, you won't have any reward, and you'll look at me. If I didn't get in the top three on the exam, my mom would draw a circle on the ground and ask me to kneel in it until she said she could come out.

That's why she cares about whether I'm serious or not.

But that morning, instead of criticizing me for not completing my homework, my mother told me to eat well, and she took my homework book and actually helped me with my homework!

I was both surprised and moved. That was the only time in my school life that my mom helped me cheat on my homework.
