XXXVII. Life-saving benefactor

As a child, I was drawing crayons at home, when suddenly a rush of running came from next door, mixed with the cry of a woman, and I immediately chased after me.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you, you wait for Xiaoying! Is the bad uncle bullying you again? I'll help you beat him, Auntie, don't run. "I chased after me all the way with my little short legs.

Unfortunately, I was too young at that time, and by the time I arrived, my aunt had already climbed the bridge over the Nanqi River, and was standing there singing an unknown sad song.

"You know, my hometown is in a group of very beautiful mountains, but I didn't think so back then, I always wanted to go out and live a flowery life outside." The aunt muttered to herself, her expression was sluggish, and her tone was erratic: "I was a famous beauty in the village when I was a child, and I was unwilling to marry a husband who only knew how to dig in the soil, and came to the city with great difficulty. ”

In the evening, the riverside was crowded with people, everyone was busy with their own business, and no one noticed us. I sat quietly and listened, just like my aunt was bullied. I thought that as long as she vented enough, she would take me to buy snacks and fun, and she would go home obediently.

"The city is not as good as I imagined, I have suffered all kinds of hardships and all sins, but I still don't want to go home, after all, I can earn more money to support my family in the city." Her voice gradually became louder and became joyful: "I still succeeded, I can actually marry a cadre's son in the city, do you know how many girls in the village envy me?" ”

Ignoring my puzzled face, my aunt continued: "Everyone in the village said that our family had a capable daughter, and everyone praised my parents for their blessings. Who knows, who knows......"

Auntie's voice suddenly became sharp, like a ghost in a chat, so scared that I didn't dare to look at her face: "I forgave him again and again, but he came to hurt me again and again." Why? Why? I was supposed to go back to my hometown this time, but it was him, and it was he who knelt down and begged me, so I was willing to stay. Yesterday he swore in front of my parents that he would never beat me again. Why? Why does what he said never count? ”

"I hate it! I hated myself for not having the courage to leave him! I hate that every time I make up my mind, I can't withstand his easy pleading, I hate that I know he doesn't believe in his words but still believes him again and again! Auntie's voice suddenly returned to its previous gentleness and sweetness: "Now, I can finally leave him, and I can finally stop being afraid, Xiaoying, are you happy for Auntie?" ”

I understood this sentence, and I gave her a big smile, which also saved my life's nightmare: "Happy! ”

My aunt also replied to me with a beautiful smile, and I felt that my aunt hadn't smiled so beautifully in a long time. Suddenly, she turned her head around and jumped into the choppy river in front of me.

The wind on the river blew on me, who was already frightened, and for a long time, my earth-shattering cry came from the bridge - I couldn't tell what life and death were, but I also vaguely knew that my aunt would never come back.

Suddenly, the aunt's poignant and mournful face actually became Li Yanyan's, and the scene changed from the bridge to the roof, Li Yanyan walked back and forth on the edge of the roof, occasionally spreading her arms and flying.

"No, don't jump anymore." I rushed to her, screaming hoarsely, my body trembling with uncontrollable fear.

"Zhang Xiaoying, are you afraid? I'm going to fly, and I'm free from now on, and you'll live forever in the dark like a rat in the gutter! ”

"Don't! I was wrong, I'll help you overturn the case! ”

"It's too late," Li Yanyan's body floated, and her voice became ethereal: "You will live in guilt for the rest of your life, hahaha!" Hahaha! ”

"You will not be at peace for the rest of your life!"

"Don't-"

I screamed and sat up, only to realize that I had another nightmare. The sister next to her immediately handed over a towel to wipe her sweat: "Great, great, you've finally woken up." ”

"How long did I sleep?"

"How long have you slept, you forgot, you fell into the lake and were in a coma for a day and a night." My sister said a little angrily: "Why are you so careless, you will fall into the water with a good look, if it weren't for the timely rescue of the Fourteenth Master, how would you let me explain to Amma." When he finished speaking, he began to cry.

I hurriedly comforted her and said that I was fine, but I was just stunned for a while, and I actually knew how to water, etc. But I was thinking in my heart, why did the good fourteenth master jump into the lake to save me, the two of us didn't know each other at all. Could it be that he learned from Lei Feng and was helpful? As far as I know, none of the princes and brothers are so kind, does he have other purposes? In any case, in this dynasty, it is never a good thing to owe favors to others, let alone save lives, and I am afraid that I will have to be extra careful in the future.

But the most urgent thing is to make sure that the Li Yanyan I saw by the lake today is a hallucination or that she is a real person, and she will not cross over like me, right?
