In fact, the end of their family may have been foreshadowed in Ma Yu's grandmother's generation.

On the night when Luo Buzhai held the child, Ma Yu's grandmother, that is, Ma Jinbao's daughter-in-law, showed rare interest in the child in Luo Buzhai's arms.

She praised the child for how good he looked, but in fact, his grandfather didn't look good when he was a child. Because Zhao Xianyun's health has not been good, his grandfather has also been dragged down.

Luo Buzhai saw her walking towards the door and deliberately avoided her.

She hurried to Luo Buzhai's side with undiminished enthusiasm, touched the child's face with her hand, and pursed her mouth to tease the child.

The person who came was a guest, and Luo Buzhai didn't want to drive her away, so he had to take the child into the back room.

Zhao Xianyun, who was sitting in the hall, said: "It's okay, let her take a look, don't make the child so expensive, let people think that we treat the child too much." ”

Luo Buzhai walked in his footsteps.

But her next move was unexpected by Luo Buzhai and Zhao Xianyun!

She touched the child's hand and suddenly turned around and picked the child up! Her action was too sudden, and Luo Buzhai didn't have time to guard against it.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Luo Buzhai shouted.

She was startled, and ran out with the child in her arms.

Luo Buzhai thought that she was insane, and hurriedly chased after her and shouted: "You stop me!" ”

Zhao Xianyun didn't expect her to be like this, so he hurriedly got up and chased after her.

Yu Youyang, who was decocting medicine in the kitchen, heard their shouts, ran out with a spoon of medicine, and when he saw this scene, he also hurried to chase her.

Ma Jinbao's daughter-in-law ran fast, with wind under her feet, and ran from the Ma family's old house to the pond.

Luo Buzhai expected that when she ran to the pond, she would turn left, and the road led straight to the back mountain, which was the direction of her home.

But when Ma Jinbao's daughter-in-law ran to the pond, she did not turn left, but turned right. To the right is the main road leading from the old river to the village.

Luo Buzhai was taken aback, and immediately understood that the act of holding the child was not Ma Jinbao's daughter-in-law's own consciousness, she must have been possessed by a ghost!

Both he and his grandfather understood that they had offended a lot of ghosts in the past, and those ghosts would always find an opportunity to take revenge. Just like when the ghost instructed the beggar to take revenge on Luo Buzhai. Before Grandpa left Thrush Village, he had raised this concern in front of Luo Buzhai more than once. He was not worried about himself, but about the weak Zhao Xianyun and the young child. Luo Buzhai vowed that he would ensure the safety of his father, wife and children.

But at this time, the child was snatched from him! If the child has any accidents, how should he explain after Ma Xiucai comes back?

He never expected that the ghost would use the body of the village to snatch the child.

Ma Jinbao's daughter-in-law ran too fast with the help of ghosts. Luo Buzhai and Zhao Xianyun and Yu Youyang couldn't outrun her at all. Far from getting closer, the distance between them is getting farther and farther away.

Just when Luo Buzhai thought that Ma Jinbao's daughter-in-law would flee like a startled sparrow, there was a sudden sound of rushing water in the pond.

A white and tender hand reached out from the water and accurately grabbed Ma Jinbao's daughter-in-law's foot.

Ma Jinbao's daughter-in-law screamed, her body lost her balance, and the child came out of her hand!

Luo Buzhai couldn't care so much, and threw himself directly towards the place where the child was about to land, trying to let the child who fell to the ground fall on him.

But Luo Buzhai was too far away from Ma Jinbao's daughter-in-law after all, so it was too late to pounce on him.

As soon as it was too late, a black shadow leaped out of the water and fell in the direction of the child like a carp that had flipped its tail and jumped out of the water.

The shadow caught the child safely.

Luo Buzhai saw that the black shadow was wearing a big hat, and the hat covered his face. The black shadow pressed the hat too low, almost becoming a mask, so Luo Buzhai couldn't see the face under the hat even if he was lying on the ground.

Luo Buzhai soon realized that the guy wearing the hat was a water monkey.

Ma Jinbao's daughter-in-law fell to the ground and screamed in pain.

As she fell, another dark shadow fell out like dust on her body. The shadow was firmly grasped by the outstretched hand in the water.

Luo Buzhai knew that it was the sailor left here by Xiaomi.

Since Xiaomi's departure, the water guest and the water monkey have disappeared and have not made any movement. Luo Buzhai didn't expect the two of them to appear together at this critical juncture.

Luo Buzhai smiled reassuringly.

The water monkey with a hat returned the child to Luo Buzhai's arms, and without saying a word, jumped back into the pond in silence and made a pop.

The water guest showed a handsome watery head from the water and asked Luo Buzhai, "Do you want me to drown it now?" ”

Luo Buzhai hurriedly said, "Wait a minute." ”

Luo Buzhai handed the child into Zhao Xianyun's hands and said to Zhao Xianyun: "It's cold outside, you take the child back to the house first, and I'll be back later." ”

He looked at Ma Jinbao's daughter-in-law who was moaning on the ground, and said to Yu Youyang: "You help her go back." ”

Yu Youyang held a spoon in one hand, and pulled Ma Jinbao's daughter-in-law, who frequently turned back to figure out what was going on just now, and left.

Luo Buzhai saw their backs walking away, and then walked to the pond, first thanked the water guest, and then asked the struggling evil ghost, "Where are you from?" Why rob Ma Xiucai's child? ”

The sailor also helped and threatened: "Hurry up and tell the truth!" Or I'll drown you by pushing you into the water!" "Many ghosts are afraid of water, except for those who drowned in the water. Therefore, if you walk with a ghost, it will surely beg you to carry it across the water when it encounters a waterway.

The ghost begged for mercy, "Spare your life! Spare your life! I'm also forced to do it! ”

"Why are you so compelled to do so?" Luo Buzhai asked.

The ghost said with a sad face: "I was forced by Ze Sheng to come! He said that Ma Xiucai was not in Thrush Village, and it was a good time to start, and he also said that there was a man named Ma Jinbao in Thrush Village, and his daughter-in-law was crazy and easy to be possessed by ghosts. So, he told me to attach myself to Ma Jinbao's daughter-in-law, and told me to run away if you grabbed the child without defense, and sent the child to him. I've said everything I need to say, please let me go! ”

When the sailor saw that he had finished speaking, he pressed it into the water.

The ghost struggled and made a splash, and the water droplets splashed on Luo Buzhai's face. But soon it was motionless.

"It wasn't a ghost who came for revenge." Luo Buzhai wiped his face. With that, he got up to leave.

The sailor put his hands on the shore and asked Luo Buzhai: "Mr. Luo, when will Xiaomi come back?" ”

Luo Buzhai was stunned. He didn't expect that this sailor was still concerned about Xiaomi, and Xiaomi was the one who grabbed it and imprisoned it. However, tonight, the water guest and the water monkey came to his rescue, which was beyond his expectations. Xiaomi doesn't treat them well. And they seem to be willing to repay their grievances with virtue and die for Xiaomi.

"We also look forward to her and Ma Xiucai coming back soon." Luo Buzhai said.

But the sailor said, "Mr. Luo, you will be wrong about me." I'm not hoping that Xiaomi will come back sooner. I hope they spend as much time outside as possible. ”

"Do you hate millet a lot? Well, but it makes sense. She is the one who captured you and imprisoned you here. Luo Buzhai said.

The sailor smiled, and it blinked, with droplets of water still hanging from its eyelashes.

"Mr. Luo, you are wrong. I don't want her to come back sooner because I hate her, I just want her to spend as much time alone with Ma Xiucai as possible. The sailor shook his hair and threw up many droplets. The drops of water glistened in the night like pearls that had long been hidden in her hair.

Luo Buzhai was surprised: "Oh? So that's what you mean. But I've always had a question in my mind, I don't know if I can ask you. ”

"I know what you're asking."

"Tell me, then, what am I going to ask?"

Shui Ke said: "You want to ask, why am I willing to surrender to Xiaomi, isn't it?" If I were you, I would have this question too. I didn't think I'd ever do that one day. ”

"Why is that? I heard Ma Xiucai say that it didn't take much time that Xiaomi persuaded you that night, and Xiaomi's eyes were red when he came back. I want to know what the hell is said between you. What words have so much power to make you suddenly surrender. Luo Buzhai poured out the doubts in his mind. From then to now, he has not thought through those doubts.

Shui Ke said: "I became like this because I thought God was unfair to me, so I was very angry. But after listening to Xiaomi's life story that night, I realized that what I experienced was nothing, and it was not worth mentioning at all. The fact that she was able to pretend to be calm through those things dwarfed me and ashamed of myself. ”

"Her background?"

"yes. She told me not to say it, but I thought I might as well talk to you tonight. She said that when she was still Xie Xiaomi, she was parasitic on a dead corpse and felt that she was not worthy of Ma Xiucai, so she sought reincarnation in exchange for a physical body and returned to Ma Xiucai. However, her first reincarnation was drowned by her biological father before she could reach adulthood. After drowning, she was instigated by the resentment of her unjust death, disturbed by a strong sense of revenge, and almost became a ghost who was entangled in the past and could not be reborn. But just by virtue of the memory of Ma Xiucai in the dark, she defeated the demons in her heart, got rid of the control of resentment, and found a second chance to be reincarnated. If it were someone else, I am afraid that I would have to be entangled in the world for decades or even hundreds of years as a ghost. She was reincarnated for the second time, but she happened to meet Ma Xiucai's wedding. The hope of getting her out of the predicament of the devil was dashed when she encountered it. The first life was brutally killed, and the second life was met with a desperate reality. If I were in such a situation, I would probably not become a terrible ghost, but also a madman. But she can hide it in her heart, bear it alone, consume it, and accept it. I'm just an unladylike person, but I have so much resentment, how can I not be ashamed? ”

"It turns out that she really remembers......" Luo Buzhai looked in the direction of Lao He with empty eyes, imagining the scene when Millet was first sent here by Ze Sheng.

Shui Ke said: "I'm telling you this in the hope that you can understand Xiaomi." I don't want people around her to misunderstand her, think she's too violent, think she's ignorant of current affairs, think she's not thorough enough. A person who has experienced two huge setbacks, a person who has endured inner torture, a person who has almost become a ghost and turned things around, she can do what she is now, it is already a miracle that ordinary people can't do it. If she does anything wrong in the future, I hope you and the people of the Ma family can understand. ”

Luo Buzhai sighed and nodded, "Yes." In my opinion, even if you can put aside your resentment and reincarnate in the next life, I am afraid that in the next life, you will still be unable to avoid becoming a vicious person with a burning heart of revenge. "The natural violentness of human beings is often inextricably linked to what happened in previous lives.
