Chapter 32: The Cursed Child
The afternoon sun spread all over the courtyard, and on the recliner, the girl took a nap with a cat in her arms.
Cheng Mo walked in lightly, and the cat saw him "meow", and he quickly made a silent gesture and picked up the blanket on the ground to cover her body.
The long eyelashes trembled, the brows frowned slightly, and the nightmare cried...
The mist lifted, and the quaint village, the little girl was covered in mud and surrounded by a group of children.
A cloud of mud hit her forehead, muddy water snaked down the side of her face, the silver-white hair sticky together on her temples, and the dirty little face couldn't see the original appearance, but a pair of dark blue eyes stubbornly looked at the child who threw her mud.
The child trembled unconsciously when she stared at her, threw away the mud ball in his hand, and ran home, shouting as he ran, "The demon's child is going to eat people." When the rest of the children saw this, they also staggered back.
The child ran away, the little girl retracted her gaze and raised her hand to wipe her face, squatted down and pinched the mud by herself, pinched a little rabbit, pinched a little flower cat, pinched a villain... I looked at it for a while, but I waved my hand violently, and the little clay sculpture rotted together and turned back into a puddle of black mud.
。。。。
The wooden rice bowl, the girl bowed her head and pulled the rice in her bowl, without looking at the dishes on the plate, the brothers and sisters at the same table laughed and competed for the dishes on the plate, everything seemed to have nothing to do with her, her world was only in this corner and a small wooden bowl in her hand.
A wail came from the neighbor's house, and the children were startled and ran to their parents.
"Father, I am afraid... The youngest child cried as he hugged his father's legs.
The father glanced at the little girl, calmed the children, and walked out.
The boy next door is gone, and the little girl is locked up in the firewood room, because he is the child who throws her mud during the day, and the cause and effect look ridiculous, but in fact it is indeed ridiculous.
The neighbors came up and down to ask for an explanation, and the movement alarmed the whole village, and all the villagers went out and threatened to burn the demon girl.
The little girl sat on the ground and listened to the movement outside, there was no wave in her eyes, she was used to this kind of formation, but the father had to bow her head and comfort her carefully.
She hated the color of her hair, she hated the color of her eyes, and she hated her fate as if she were cursed, and the people she hated would die inexplicably, which is why they came to the door.
On this day, the family came to the distinguished guest, who was a distant relative of the mother goddess, the eldest sister and the second sister put on their favorite hairpins, and the mother goddess also soaked in the most fragrant alder honey, the little girl swallowed her saliva and hid in a corner of the small courtyard, where there was a kennel, and her only partner was there.
The guest came, because she didn't see him clearly because she was hiding in the kennel, but she listened to the sound of a refreshing young man.
The young man stayed at home, and only saw him when he was eating, but she didn't have time to see what he looked like, because she had to eat.
The big white dog has the same hair color as her, so she likes it, and he likes her.
Not far away, on the stone bench, the boy was tying kites for his sisters, and the little girl glanced at it and lowered her head, she - she didn't like kites.
The young man tied the kite looked up and caught a glimpse of the little girl hugging the big white dog, and asked curiously, "Who is she?"
The second sister followed his gaze, but she wanted to speak and stopped, and the third sister was a straightforward person, and hurriedly interjected: "Although she is also a sister in the family, there is no such person to the outside world. Can't you guess what she looks like? She's a cursed child, and if you stay away from her, you'll be tainted. ”
The boy's eyes darkened.
"What's her name?"
"Name, she doesn't have a name, no one will call her name, if you have to call it... She glanced at the big white dog and burst out laughing: "Then call her Xiaobai." ”
After saying that, he grinned.
Xiaobai buried his face in the soft fur of the big white dog.,Sometimes it's not a good thing to have too good ears.,Xiaobai,This name.。。。 She touched the big white dog's head and whispered in its ear, "Dabai, do you think this name is good?"
The girl's laughter was piercing, but the boy was silent for a long time, and muttered, "She's very special." ”
Xiao Bai, who has good ears, raised his head violently, and met a pair of star-studded eyes, which seemed to be clean and refreshing.
On the Thousand Birds Festival, every household puts up lanterns to get rid of evil spirits.
Father and Mother took the sisters to visit the lantern garden, Xiaobai lay on Dabai's body and took a nap for a while, in a daze, the lights outside the courtyard were bright, the magic weapon rose into the night sky and suddenly became larger, the dazzling light shook her eyes painfully, she quickly closed her eyes but felt as if she was on fire, she opened it suddenly and found that she was somehow sitting on a pile of hay, and the fire lingered around her, the villagers looked at her indifferently in the firelight, and the disgust was not hidden.
"Burn her and melt her demon soul with the fire of the Night. "People are pointing fingers, and they are all the most vicious curses.
The firelight reflected her small face, a pair of big eyes looked back at them strongly, not flinching, not afraid, she was born as a god but lived a humble life, even if she was as small as dust, but she would not be so slaughtered.
A familiar face in the crowd was in a trance, and her heart was as cold as ice, falling straight into the abyss, Father, do you want to abandon me?
She fled, even she didn't know how she escaped, the villagers who lay on the ground seemed to be asleep, but why did they sleep there, the little figure staggered, fell and got up again, they were asleep, yes, it must be so, she comforted herself, but...
Fear she had never had, she was afraid of herself, they were right, she was a monster, a cursed child.
Wilderness graveyard, behind the small grave bag, she hid there, biting her lip and not daring to cry, the footsteps came from far and near, and she prick up her ears vigilantly.
The boy came with the moonlight and stopped beside her.
"You're also the Father's daughter?"
His voice was clear and refreshing, and he looked at her with a smile, and he looked like this in the small courtyard that day, but even so, she still did not reduce her vigilance.
"Who the hell are you?"
The young man laughed, squatted down, gently brushed the dirt off her shoulders, brushed her hair behind her ears, and said, "My name is Suqian, you have to remember." ”
This name has left an imprint on her heart since then, a deep imprint.
He took her back to the Night God Palace.
The Yajin Shrine was large, but it was also empty, and it seemed that you could hear the echo when you spoke at the door.
Seeing her hesitate in front of the door, he turned around and took her hand and led her in.
"Don't be afraid, come, you will live here in the future, okay?"
Xiao Bai stared at him for a long time before nodding slightly.
