Continuation: One who died once
The winding river passes through the edge of City C. The further south the river goes, the wider the river becomes, extending to the junction with the sea and flows into the vast ocean. There are high mountains and ridges along the river, with many small villages looming, spreading in a yellow and green field.
The small village has a sparse population and is full of elderly people. Most of the younger generations in the family go to work in the city, which makes the village even more deserted.
There is a small thatched hut near the river, which is a distance from the small village. I don’t know when and who built it. The house is very simple. If it rains heavily outside, it will rain lightly here. The sheets on G are very thin and dirty. In this early autumn season, although it is not cold during the day, the temperature at night is lower because it is approaching the river, as if it is winter.
The house was empty, and the people living here were now washing clothes by the river...
The thin figure squatted by the river, bent down and focused on scrubbing the clothes in her hands. The water was a little cold, but she didn't even frown, her face was expressionless, and only mechanical movements.
There is tap water in the village, but she refuses to go in. Her daily activities are only thatched huts and riversides, and there is no tap water in the huts. She uses this river water to wash clothes. Although it is very cold, she never complains.
It sounds incredible that a person who has enjoyed glory and wealth can live such a hard life here, but it is the fact that she allows herself to live in a world completely different from the past, and whether it is thoughts, cognitions, or concepts, there are earth-shaking changes.
The river water was very cold, but no matter how cold it was, it could not be as cold as her heart. She was completely disappointed and lived like a walking corpse...
Is this really alive? The world in her eyes is only gray, losing its luster and temperature. What she hates the most now is daytime, because the sun can shine all the ugliness on her body without any hiding. She just wants to hide in the darkness and not see those disgusting scars, so she can recover a little and continue the next tomorrow with a breath...
After washing her clothes, the river water in front of her returned to tranquility. The river surface could reflect her figure, but she ran back to the hut as if she was rushing to escape. She could not look directly at her face. If she looked at it a few more times, she really didn't doubt that she would want to break herself in the hut. She used to have an amazingly beautiful face, pretty and tender, and flawless white. Walking on the streets of the city would always attract many envious gazes... But now, if someone saw her, he would probably think he had seen a ghost.
Therefore, she insisted on not going into the village and only lived in this hut outside. She was afraid of scaring others, and even more afraid of seeing people's terrified eyes.
The only person who was not afraid of her was the farmer who saved her life, an old lady over 60 years old.
The old lady's surname is Sun. It is said that her daughter works in the city and settles down in the city, leaving only Grandma Sun alone in the village.
The old man is simple and kind, with a compassionate heart. She saved Xiaoying's life and bought some medicine for Xiaoying with her meager living expenses before she pulled Xiaoying back from the gate of hell. Otherwise, she would have died in the hut a week ago.
That night, she was fished out of the river by a group of unknown people and then brutally left behind. She was seriously injured and had a high fever. If she hadn't been lucky enough to meet Grandma Sun passing by, she would have died.
People who have died once regard many people and things differently from before. When she thinks of everything in the past, she only feels like the past, like a dream of spring and autumn...that's all the things in her previous life. Now she can only remember her.
Xiaoying was a strong and independent girl. She had a superior and happy life in the Fan Mansion, but before that, her life was still miserable, but even so, she did not defeat her belief in life. She thought she had become very brave, but the cruel reality tore her apart.
Although she is still alive, she has delayed the best time to heal her wound, which has left many scars on her body and face. There is a striking wound on her right cheek from below her cheekbones to her cheeks, as long as her index finger… There is also an oblique wound on her forehead and the middle of her eyebrows…
The two wounds were like two ugly centipedes, destroying the original beauty of the face. Because the wound was very deep and long, and missed the treatment opportunity and had been infected, it became what it is now. When she was first injured, although the wound was deep, if she could stitch it in time, there would only be a thin mark after healing. A small scar removal surgery would be able to solve it. But now, the muscles on both sides did not grow one piece, but new flesh grew in the middle of the gap... In this way, even after healing, her face would be like two more mouths.
Only scar removal surgery can solve the problem for Xiaoying, but it does not mean that all the scars will disappear without a trace. It depends on the specific situation after the scar grows to the maturity stage.
But the scar removal surgery is not done now, it is necessary to wait until the scar mature stage. In other words, even if Xiaoying flies to the plastic surgery hospital right away, it is useless. This scar will accompany her for at least half a year before the surgery can be performed. Moreover, such a deep wound is very difficult to treat, and it is too difficult to restore her former appearance...
This is just in a conspicuous place. Some of the wounds covered by clothes on Xiaoying's body, which were covered by clothes, were tattooed scars formed by the sand and stones in the river during the injury, and were not cleaned up afterwards, including the back and chest...
The broken body is wrapped with a heart that is shattered into dust. Xiaoying's deepest wound is invisible, in her heart and spirit.
Every day after waking up, she could not fall asleep peacefully. As soon as she closed her eyes, the moment she had an accident appeared in her mind, the car flew from the road to the air and then fell. The fear and despair at that time could make the soul tremble and tremble, deeply imprinted in her mind, and became an insurmountable demon barrier. Nightmares are endless, and she often opens her eyes until dawn and can't hold on to sleep for a while, but she will be awakened soon.
Physical injuries and mental torture have destroyed Xiaoying's will inch by inch. She did not contact Fandi or her family. She only felt that she was a person abandoned by fate and should not have survived. She was thinking about every day about the past, with pain, happiness and awakening... She was infatuated with Fandi, but what she got was that he pushed her into someone else's arms. He was happy to see her dating with Lu Zhehao, and before that, she specially accepted her as her sister. These actions, now that they think about them, are both kind to her and are also a kind of extreme cruelty.
People who have died once cannot think about the same thinking as ordinary people, and there is no conclusion on what they feel, whether good or bad. Now the reason why Xiaoying doesn't contact Fan Di is actually very simple... The man pushed her into Lu Zhehao's arms, otherwise how could she suffer a huge disaster?
Haha... man, man... I like you, you don't need to know. But now, I want to live for myself. I walk in the gate of hell. From then on, my world will not be able to live in my own way, and you don't need to know. I, and Fandi, will no longer have any intersection...
No one can understand Xiaoying's pain. When she was out of the car, she was destined to undergo a huge change in her life trajectory in the future. Whether it is rebirth or destruction is all in her mind...
There are no cooking tools in the hut, so when it’s time to eat, Grandma Sun will come with her food.
Most of them are vegetarian dishes and there is very little meat, which is very unfavorable for the injured to recover from injuries. Grandma Sun also knows this. Today, she stewed chicken soup and fried chicken breasts for eating.
Tonight's dinner was the most sumptuous meal in the week that Xiaoying woke up, but she did not eat it immediately, but instead stared blankly with chopsticks.
Grandma Sun's thin face had many wrinkles, and her short body sat opposite Xiaoying, smiling at her kindly: "What's wrong? Why don't you eat?"
Xiaoying licked her lips, and a little doubt appeared in her shiny eyes: "Grandma Sun, this is a whole chicken. How much did you spend to buy it? It's very expensive, right?"
Xiaoying has probably learned about Grandma Sun's situation these days. The old man lives a hard life and relies on the pitiful living expenses given by his daughter every month. He is reluctant to eat meat and lives a tight life. Why did he suddenly send a big hen today? That would have to let the old man spend a considerable expense for her. How could Xiaoying be happy?
"Oh, don't worry, I didn't spend money... Even if my family feeds an old hen, it's time to slaughter it and eat it. It's just right to replenish your body. You see, you are so thin that you're even blown down by the wind. It won't work if you keep going like this." Grandma Sun smiled and picked up a chicken leg for Xiaoying, her loving face was particularly warm.
Xiaoying suffocated her breath, her face changed slightly, and her hand under the table suddenly tightened, and her heart twitched violently... Grandma Sun said that she had an old hen at home, and the egg laid by this chicken was Grandma Sun's food ration. Usually, she was vegetarian. Even if the egg was a good thing, it was a nutritional supply for Grandma Sun, but now Grandma Sun actually killed the old hen?
Grandma Sun must have done this to nourish her body. A chicken is nothing, and it is not worth mentioning in many people's eyes, but in the current situation, Grandma Sun's intentions are heavier than those of the mountains!
Xiaoying felt very sore, but she didn't say much, because she knew that at this moment, Grandma Sun's happiest thing should be to see her eat more.
