I was thrown into a field beside the road, covered in mud.
The shuttle bus was long gone, and my whole body ached, as if it had been eaten by thousands of ants.
After a while, I slowly got up from the ground.
I looked at my phone and saw that the screen had been smashed.
Fortunately, it's not too far from our village.
I dragged myself back to the village. On the way, I met several villagers I knew.
Seeing my embarrassment, they all stepped forward to help me.
Someone asked me what happened and where Uncle Li went?
I didn’t want to involve these innocent people, so I just said that Uncle Li was hospitalized and I came back to get him something.
As a result, when we were getting into the car, the driver drove the car into a field on the side of the road.
Fortunately, the person is fine and the traffic police have dealt with it.
I reluctantly put it off, and after returning home, I went to Uncle Li's room.
After rummaging through boxes and cabinets, I finally found the letter under Uncle Li's bed.
When I opened the letter and looked at the contents, I felt a little dazed.
‘Chen Xian, if you see this letter, it means that I am dead.
Don't be sad or angry, I deserve this.
I am a heinous sinner who must go to hell after death.
I have done so many bad things in my life that I can’t even name them all.
Maybe the only good thing I ever did was to save you.
But similarly, I have killed people to save you.
Remember the immortal family I told you about who lent you longevity?
I killed him and his brother Ma because they didn't want to lend you more life, so I killed them.
And that little fat guy who bullied you when you were in elementary school.
The night you were expelled from school, I cast a spell and made the whole family of five commit suicide by jumping off the building.
I have also done many unscrupulous bad things, so I won’t list them all.
I say all this just because I don’t want you to feel sad about my death.
Because I deserve to die!
In fact, when I adopted you, I also thought that after doing so many bad things, I might as well do something good to comfort myself.
But the immortal family refused to borrow Yangshou any more. Even if I killed him, he would not agree.
I have no choice but to find other ways to find a marriage for you.
The other party was the eldest lady of the Wang family in the provincial capital. Unfortunately, she died young.
Her parents found me and asked me to make her into a living dead.
She is different from you. The Wang family is a wealthy family. In order to save her, her parents sacrificed more than a dozen servants to buy her a hundred years of life.
I told the Wang family that as a living dead, the yin and yang must be harmonized with another living dead, otherwise, you will not live to be thirty!
So, you just need to take the token and go to Wang's house to find her.
On your eighteenth birthday, enter the bridal chamber with her and harmonize yin and yang.
Only in this way can you survive the disaster of being eighteen and live a stable life.'
Opening the compartment of the letter, there is half a jade pendant inside.
Come to think of it, this should be the so-called token.
After folding the letter, I sat on the ground for a long time, unable to recover.
This letter really had a huge impact on me!
In the letter, Uncle Li said that he was a heinous person!
This greatly subverted Uncle Li's image in my mind.
But even if Uncle Li describes himself like that, I still can't hate him.
After all, it was Uncle Li who gave me life and raised me.
I kept a close eye, worried that Uncle Li wrote this on purpose.
Because he just doesn't want me to worry too much about him.
So, early the next morning, I took the shuttle bus to the county seat.
I went to the primary school where I attended, found the principal, and wanted to check the files from that year.
At first, the principal thought I was a relative of some student. When he heard that I wanted to check the files from that year, he looked impatient and wanted to kick me out.
I took out the bank card I had prepared and slapped it on the table.
"There are twenty thousand in here."
My butcher shop is one of the better businesses in the village.
Uncle Li and I are not the kind of people who spend money.
So over the years, I have saved a lot.
The principal's eyes widened when he saw the bank card.
He accepted the card with a smile and agreed to help me check the file.
I kept busy until one o'clock in the afternoon and finally found the file of the little fat man back then.
Like me, he also went to school for one day and never showed up again.
Later, his uncle came to help him drop out of school.
"You don't know, this matter was such a big fuss back then!"
"It is said that the child offended a lone star in the class!"
"That evil lone star killed his own parents when he was born, and even made the child commit suicide by jumping off a building. It was such a miserable death!"
"Okay, I understand, thank you principal." After getting the answer, I exited the principal's office.
Sitting on a stone bench on the street, I played with the recorder in one hand and dialed the hotline of the local education bureau with the other.
"Hello, hello, I want to report the principal of Luoyungang Primary School for accepting bribes."
"Well, I have a recording to prove it. Where is your office building?"
"Okay, I'll send it to you later."
In the afternoon, I sent the recorder to the office building.
When I walked out, I had no worries in my heart.
Since what Uncle Li said in the letter he left me is true.
Then I don't need to embarrass myself.
Just pretend that Uncle Li is dead.
I convinced myself this way.
The next day, I took the letter and carried a small bag.
Inside were the tools used in Duan Gong's practice, as well as valuables such as the torn book and bank cards.
I didn't touch the rest of the things, not even the pigs in the pig pen in the backyard.
When others asked me, I said that I had to go to the county town to take care of Uncle Li for a while.
Everyone said goodbye to me one after another, but I knew in my heart that this farewell would be forever.
I came to the county town and took the bus to the provincial capital. This was the first time in my life that I came to a big city.
In the letter Uncle Li gave me, he recorded the address of the Wang family and the name of the girl who was both a living dead and me.
Her name is Wang Zhixi, a name full of the aroma of books.
As soon as I arrived home, Wang Zhixi's parents warmly entertained me.
At first glance, I noticed that the facial features were sunken, the ear flesh was thin, and the auricles were not visible, giving him a somewhat husband-like appearance.
It is this kind of appearance that, in the description of Po Shu, does not indicate a destiny of great wealth and great wealth, but rather a sign of short life and poor wealth.
But the villa that the Wang family lives in covers an area of 400 square meters.
There are several million-dollar luxury cars parked in the front yard. No matter how you look at them, they all belong to wealthy families.
I rarely read people's faces. This time I miscalculated, so I just thought it was because I was not good at studying and didn't think much about it.
After some false pleasantries, the second elder took me to see Wang Zhixi.
Wang Zhixi's room is on the second floor. When I first saw her, I gave me two feelings.
First, it looks good.
The second is cold.
Needless to say, she is good-looking. For an old man from the countryside like me, I rarely see beautiful girls in real life.
For a rich girl like Wang Zhixi, her expensive outfit is enough to attract my attention.
Of course, Wang Zhixi's beauty is so beautiful that even some stars on TV can't compare to it.
But at the same time, she was very cold, and this coldness came from the inside out.
The first time I shook hands with her, I thought I was holding a piece of ice.
Even when I greeted her, she just nodded but didn't speak.
After a brief meeting, the two elders took me back to the living room.
The two asked me curiously why Uncle Li didn't come with me.
I said: "Uncle Li is dead!"
The expression on the second elder's face was slightly stiff.
"Sorry, we didn't expect this."
"It's okay." I said calmly.
"Why are you so anxious to call me over?"
"Oh, that's right, Zhixi..." The man hesitated for a moment and said.
