Chapter 1 I can see ghosts in my left eye
The sky was thundering, the rain was coming, and the nasal cavities were full of obscure earthy smell.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a gray sky, foggy like a net.
"The auspicious time has come, and the sacrifice ceremony begins now!"
The command of the sentence entered my ears, and the air was as silent as suffocation.
I scrambled to my feet, looked around, and found myself on a high platform. There was a group of people standing in the audience, holding torches and staring at me silently, as if they could kill people.
And I am that sacrifice.
"Click-"
A deafening thunder woke me from my dream, and I sat on the bed panting, beads of sweat soaking my pillow.
I had that nightmare again.
I've long forgotten that this is the first time I've met them in a dream, but every time I dream of it, I'm still scared and sweaty.
I reached for the cold overnight water on the bedside table, drank it down, yawned and walked to the bathroom.
My name is Ansheng, and I was a child who was rescued from the altar by my parents, and I was only eight years old that year.
The An family is a big family, and the people regard me as an ominous person.
The reason is my eye, my left eye can see ghosts.
My face was reflected in the mirror of the sink, and I lifted my bangs on the left side of my forehead, revealing a hollow, white eyeball.
Since I was born, I have not had a black eyeball in my left eyeball, and my vision is basically zero. No one dared to take me from the midwife's arms, and it was supposed to be a happy day, but the atmosphere at home was very heavy.
"What is the cause of blindness in this life, and the cause and effect of killing in many lifetimes."
These are the words of the patriarch of the An family at the beginning, and in their mouths, I am a disaster star who will bring disaster to the family.
The An family wanted to sacrifice me to Emperor Xudu, saying that only he could suppress my evil spirit and keep the family safe, so my parents snatched me back on the day of the sacrifice ceremony despite the warnings of the clansmen.
Later, in order to better protect me, my parents sent me to Yiding City, which is more than 800 kilometers away from home. There is an antique shop that my father bought in the early days, and now this antique shop is handed over to me to take over, and I have made a lot of money in five years, and now I am half a rich woman.
Yuren Snow Mountain is a 4A-level scenic spot in Yiding City, and there is a commercial street at the foot of the Snow Mountain, where my store is opened.
In the scorching summer, the scorching sun is in the sky, and the concrete floor is like a big baking tray, baking people's patience.
Today is also an ordinary day, although there are many customers who flow every day, but most of them come in out of curiosity, and occasionally there are a few 'connoisseurs' who bargain to the end. I looked at the guests while knocking on the melon seeds, and occasionally responded to them with a smile or two clichés, anyway, as soon as the price came out, there was no follow-up, and it was a waste of my tongue to say too much.
"Buzz...... Buzz ......"
The phone shook my thighs in my trouser pocket, I picked it up and saw that it was a call from my father, this old guy usually doesn't call me easily, and the last time I called, I still wanted to collect a cut of the big goods I sold.
I raised my eyebrows, pressed the answer button, and said to my father that if I talked about money again, I would quickly change the subject.
"I miss you dad, and don't call me, have you forgotten your baby daughter?"
"An An, have you been busy with business in the store lately?"
Strange, although my father is an old money fan, I will report to him every month the bill for the goods in the store, and he still doesn't know how the business in the store is.
If something goes wrong, there will be a demon, and if a person is abnormal, there will be a sword.
"Dad." I went straight to the point and continued, "Just say anything straight. ”
Dad hesitated on the other end of the phone, and then lowered his voice and said, "The current patriarch of the An family has passed away, according to the custom, you have to come back, and the funeral can only be held when the clan gathers." ”
"Shall I go back?" I raised my voice and bounced up from the rocking chair all of a sudden, "The An family is no different from seeing me as seeing the enemy, I won't go back!" ”
"It's up to you to do this," Dad's voice suddenly became very serious, and he paused and continued, "Tomorrow is the 46th birthday of the current patriarch......
My heart suddenly tightened, and my face changed instantly: "Dad, what about his left eye......"
"The death is exactly the same as the previous patriarch."
My dad told me he had booked me a plane ticket for tomorrow morning, it was a big deal, and I had to be there.
I acquiesced to not saying anything on the other end of the phone, but my mind was mixed, and my mind was once again drawn back to the sacrifice ceremony when I was eight years old.
On the first day after the sacrificial ceremony, an appalling incident occurred in the An family......
"Ahh
After a scream, the housekeeper collapsed in front of the door of the patriarch's room at the time, and the refreshments in his hand were spilled on the floor. Inside the wide open door, the patriarch of the An family died suddenly in the house at the age of 45. When he died, he was still holding a small blood-red ball in his hand, and when he got closer, it turned out to be the eyes of the patriarch himself.
Before he died, the patriarch actually buckled off the eyeball of his left eye.
At that time, no one in the whole clan did not say that the patriarch of the An family was killed by me, who was only eight years old, that I was a broom star, and insisted on pulling me to the patriarch for burial.
Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, the second patriarch also died at the age of forty-five.
The same cause of death, the same age, is the death of the two patriarchs after my birth really related to me?
