Chapter 2: Wanjiji Temple (7)
The weaver's aunt opened the door in the morning and found a blood map underground! In the picture, the weasel tears open the neck of the hen with its paws. Next to the chicken coop at the door lies the hen that was bitten to death by a weasel last night. The immature brushstrokes with scarlet chicken blood and chicken feathers make people shudder! This strange story was spread by the weaver's aunt, and people began to analyze Cheng Jiao's paintings. They first discovered that most of the child's sleepwalking drawings were not good. For example, there are empty bird cages, little rabbits lying on all fours, a snake's head coming out of a water tank, two villains in red hats fighting, and so on.
Then, to the horror of discovering that these paintings would soon come true!
The golden-winged purple-eyed thrush that the fat bird dealer had exchanged for a two-entry house was let go by his youngest son, who chased him all over the streets.
The couple in the fur hat sat in the yard crying and skinning the rabbits, and the rabbits they had worked so hard to raise had not yet grown up, but somehow all of them died overnight.
The lone goldsmith came home after working all night, scooping saliva in front of the water tank in the yard, but was bitten on the wrist by a poisonous snake hidden under the water scoop, and when he was found, he had fainted in the yard for a long time, and one arm turned purple and black, although he saved his life, but the entire right arm was amputated, and a lifetime of craftsmanship was in vain.
The trainer's daughter-in-law, who had not yet struck the morning bell, ran in the direction of the square of the gods, crying and shouting, and her head was cut out by the trainer with a horseshoe, and blood was gurgling out.
Although these situations are all due to a reason.
The birdseller's youngest son is a well-known mischievous neighbor, either beckoning cats or fighting dogs, and never stops; The owner of the fur hat is not a good product, in order to reduce costs, he often collects some sick and dead rabbits at low prices to make hats; In addition to his own work, the goldsmith's favorite thing to do is to plant all kinds of plants in the yard, and it is not surprising that when he enters his yard in the hot summer, a chill blows to his face, and it is not surprising that poisonous snakes who are afraid of heat take advantage of the cold; The private relationship between the bewitching daughter-in-law of the horse trainer's family and the young apprentice of the horse trainer is a fragrant topic that has been talked about privately for a long time in the neighborhood, and only the drunken horse trainer is kept in the dark.
But after the incident happened, people often ignore all the causes and consequences, and only bite one - the weird painting left near these people's homes in Chengjiao's sleep not long before the incident!
At this time, Cheng Jiao was only about three years old, and there were already various rumors related to her in the hot spring city.
"Is she the daughter of Lord Onsen? It is said that the adult was suddenly chosen by the gods to guard the witch of the main island shortly after giving birth to the child, don't you say? ”
"It's not an ordinary psionic ability, it's a weird ability! The little girl could predict the future in a way that was unknowable to humans and not allowed by the gods. As soon as she was born, she spoke, guiding her mother's future! ”
"Why did she only prophesy evil after that?"
"Can't you think of it? The first time she spoke, she said all the good things in her life, and she made her mother a hot spring hall! ”
"We're going to stay away from her! Remembering our faces, what will we do next time we want to draw! ”
"God forbid! If you want to draw, you will also be painted! I didn't say that the kid belonged to the hot spring hall-sama! ”
Jin Ye and Yi Gefei knew that the people in Hot Spring City were afraid of Cheng Jiao, and they would not let their children play with her. They are worried, but they can't do anything about it. On weekdays, the little Chengjiao is always alone. Because of the fear that rumors related to her daughter would spread, Cheng Jiao did not let her go to junior high school when she was four years old. The couple had also tried to stop her bizarre behavior, and they stayed up all night watching over her. But they cherished the only little daughter, and did not dare to forcibly stop her while she was sleepwalking, lest they frighten the child into falling ill. They even tried tying her to the bed after she fell asleep. But as long as this is the case, Cheng Jiao will not only whine and scream in the middle of the night, but also sway from side to side, and its strength seems to be several times greater than that of the day, and even the bed board will tremble with it. When I asked her the next day, she was at a loss, just like she couldn't remember anything about her paintings.
Igfi was busy carving the statue of Mars on the Champ de Mars, one of the most important projects he had ever undertaken since he took over the title of "Bone Craftsman". And Jin Ye has not had any idle time since he became the hot spring hall, and those two years were a critical period for the extermination of the Endless Sea pirate gang, and they couldn't give Cheng Jiao enough attention.
Without school, her parents don't have time to stay by her side all day, and rumors about the strange situation in their children are increasing. Dad had to buy a small courtyard on the secluded Miaofa Mountain, let Cheng Jiao hide the surname of the bones, and moved with his grandparents.
On Helios Island, there are very few children who do not go to elementary school, and either the family is too poor or the orphans are helpless. But in addition to not making any friends, Cheng Jiao didn't think he had anything to lose because he didn't go to school.
Grandpa used to teach history in the middle school on the Isle of Wars, and after coming to the Isle of the Sun, he put all his energy into his little granddaughter. She began to teach her to read and write at the age of two. She has a wonderful memory, and she can read the textbooks by the age of five!
Grandpa was going to teach her some ancient characters, but Grandma was very opposed. She believed that it was a blessing from the gods that people all over the world could speak the same language. The various ancient scripts that remain in ancient history are clear evidence of the punishment of mankind. Confused language gives rise to confused thoughts, and chaotic thoughts lead to displacement, strife, which is the root cause of the collapse of ancient civilizations. Grandpa also felt reasonable, and they agreed to let Chengjiao have more contact with nature and society, exercise a strong physique, and cultivate a strong soul.
Therefore, in Cheng Jiao's memory, the days when he moved from Goldfish Lane to Miaofa Mountain were the most lively!
