Chapter 430: Demons?
"Well, for my father's mother, I specially picked a few, are they good-looking?"
The implication is that he is also an orphan whose parents have died.
Xun Yi picked up the river lantern and turned around, under the bright candle flame, the delicate lotus lantern looked extremely delicate. He carefully lit the half of the candle in the heart of the flower, the warm and small light flickered in his palm, the faint candle flame reflected his jade-like handsome face, and the long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes, flickering with the movement of his eyes.
Hearing the other party's question, Wen Su's voice was a little dumb, but he nodded solemnly, even if he had expected this result a long time ago, he still felt distressed at first glance.
A child without a mother is like a grass, she has always enjoyed a lifetime of father's love like a mountain and a mother's love like the sea before she dies in her last life.
So she wouldn't feel much regret if she lacked her parents in her life, but Xun Yi was different, she only knew that he was brought back by Feng Guichi when he was four or five years old, which means that he lost his parents more than ten years ago.
"I was born in a small village, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the four seasons are like spring, it is a good place to raise people, because the village is built in the mountain col, so few outsiders come in, the original village did not have a name, and later because there was a Lu surname Xiucai, so it began to be called Lujia Village."
Xun Yi looked intently at the flame burning in the heart of the river lamp, the two black pearl-like pupils reflected the slightly flickering candlelight, as if he was infected by the moonlight and scenery, he began to speak calmly, while speaking, he picked up Wen Su's cinnabar pen and wrote something on the river lamp, and Wen Su also looked at his side face quietly, listening carefully to him about his past memories.
"My father's ancestors are said to also practice medicine, as for why they were exiled to Lujia Village, they never mentioned it to me from beginning to end, since I was born, they didn't teach me to practice words and martial arts or anything, even if the village chief has repeatedly invited my father to be the gentleman of the village private school, he has not agreed, but like a wandering Langzhong, which family suffers from a cold or something, he will go to treat a cure or prescribe a prescription, basically everyone in the village has been treated by my father, probably because of this reason, No one has ever caused any trouble to my family, but it is still very courteous, and life is very peaceful......"
Xun Yi's story is not too long, and his experience before the age of four can be summed up as a "tragedy" in capital and bold -
Since the day of the full moon after he was born, Lujia Village, which was originally isolated from the world and has been like spring all year round, has begun to have frequent abnormalities, and the changes at the beginning are not so obvious.
First of all, the temperature gap, in the daytime is fine, once it is night, Lujia Village is always much colder than the outside of the mountain pass, originally thought it was a seasonal problem, but once the people in the village out of the village will feel a lot warmer, of course, such details did not attract anyone's attention.
It wasn't until later that the difference in temperature between day and night was too large, and the poultry of each family began to get sick one after another, and they could not be cured when they were sick.
Lujia Village has investigated the cause more than once, but there is no result, those poultry are natural deaths, even the doctor in the town can not see any problems, this matter is over, no one has mentioned it again, but every household is a lot more fine, sometimes animals may live better than people.
When Xun Yi was more than a year old, even the crops in the fields in the village were affected, the growth was slow, and there was no movement when it was clear that it should germinate, and the harvest day was more than two months later than that of other villages, and the yield was greatly reduced.
Now the village chief can no longer sit idly by, he summoned the villagers to frantically want to find the reason, of course, the result must have been empty-handed, but then I don't know where to start, said that someone found that as long as it is close to the Xun family, their poultry and fields are the most seriously affected, and most of the Xun family is in trouble, and it may have provoked the anger of the sky to bring such a great change to Lujia Village.
The so-called speaker has no intention of listening, after this word reached the village chief, originally because Xun Yi's father had treated them with kindness, the villagers were unwilling to believe it, but because the source could not be found for a long time, the villagers began to secretly observe the situation of the Xun family, and even secretly did some experiments, and really let them find that as long as there are a few families close to the Xun family, the newly raised poultry and seedlings in the field are always the fastest and earliest.
The villagers of Lujia Village naturally inevitably had a war of words with the Xun family, Xun Yi's father thought that his family of three was a fair and honest white man, and it was impossible to anger the heavens.
Even after such a toss, the status of the Xun family in Lujia Village has plummeted, and the original kindness has all been consumed, in order to avoid affecting the life of the village, the Xun Yi family was forced to live in a corner at the end of the village, and the family was also excluded in various ways, as if they had been completely forgotten in the corner.
If it's just like this, maybe it's not so bad, after all, Xun Yi's father is good, and even if the family doesn't have the protection of the village, at least they can live quietly.
The real disaster began when Xun Yi was three years old, Xun Yi was already sensible at that time, he vaguely knew that the relationship between the family and the people in the village was not good, he had always entertained himself and lived alone, but he was young in the end, and he couldn't stand his good appearance when he was a child, there was a little girl in the village who was attracted by his white appearance, and often sneaked out to play with him, and Xun Yi also knew that he should avoid it, so he didn't pay attention to the little girl, and he couldn't drive away, so he could only let the other party run around with him like a tail.
It didn't take long for the little girl to come again, Xun Yi didn't care when she was locked up by her family, but a few days later, the little girl's family actually mourned and did white things, and the person who died was the little girl who came to Xun Yi every day.
The little girl came to play with Xun Yi and died in a few days, this incident made Xun Yi's father and mother ring a big alarm bell, although no one knew, but their family became more low-key, and even their life and rest were completely separated from the people in the village, and they couldn't meet once in a few months.
The death of the little girl seems to have kicked off a prelude, one after another people have accidents, or newborns die of dystocia, or whose old people have a cold and can't afford to get sick, and more young women begin to get sick, especially with cold, the people in the village are all veterans who go to the ground all year round, as long as it is not a big problem, there may not be anyone who dies of illness all year round, how can there be such a thing as now, it is only half a year, how many funerals have been done in the village?
This incident aroused the suspicion of the villagers of Lujia Village about the Xun family, and it was inevitable that there would be another dispute with a red face and a thick neck, but because of the low profile of the Xun family, the matter of the dead people in the village had nothing to do with the Xun family after all.
The Xun family was even more isolated, and some people even began to hold a grudge against the Xun family, first Xun Yi's mother was always abused for no reason, and in the back she was even almost raped by hooligans, so scared that Xun Yi's mother didn't dare to go out at all, and Xun Yi's father was beaten more than once and went home with a blue nose and swollen face, and the most serious time was that he vomited a mouthful of blood and almost went.
At that time, Xun Yi was angry and hateful, he wanted to ask the villagers for an explanation, but the child in his early four years old ran to Lujia Village to confront the village chief, but how could the village chief pay attention to him? Let one of his children be surrounded by adults and scolded extremely ugly.
Because he was young, he didn't beat people in the end, but after scolding, he drove people out, and several naughty children chased him out and hit him with stones, punching and kicking, and almost didn't smash Xun Yi to the point of breaking his face several times, when he dragged his scars back home, Xun Yi's mother almost cried and broke her intestines, looking at her unconscious father on the bed, and her mother whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, little Xun Yi tasted hatred for the first time.
The terrible thing finally happened, in the evening of the next day, Lujia Village was almost about to collapse, it turned out that Xun Yi had been scolded that day, and several children who had beaten Xun Yi all died violently, and even the adults who watched and scolded that day had many people injured or even seriously ill because of this or that accident.
Now Lujia Village has completely exploded, and people who were fine yesterday can't get up today, can't they explain the reason for this?!
It seems that this result is not strong enough, and the people in the village began to talk about the old accounts, such as the change in temperature, the death of poultry, the reduction of crop yields, and more shrewd people found that all this unusualness started after the Xun family gave birth to Xun Yi.
