When Yang Shu woke up again, it was already the evening of the next day.
People's noises and shouts of admiration and applause came from outside the house.
As a refuge village, such scenes are rare, but today is a special occasion because we want to celebrate the emergence of a psychic in this village again.
When he lost his psychic object, he also lost a great opportunity to become a psychic. The loss in Yang Shu's heart was beyond words.
Once he succeeds, he will be one of the people watching and cheering outside. Of course, this is not what Yang Shu wants most.
Yang Shu wanted to become a psychic mainly because of a promise.
He sat up and looked at a portrait on the wall. It showed the back of an old farmer, sitting alone on the big bluestone at the entrance of the village under the afterglow of the setting sun, looking at the road leading to the distance outside the village...
Old Yangtou's last words sounded in his ears again: "Xiao Shu! Can you promise me? You must become a psychic in the future, and then go to Hucheng to find Xiaotian and see if he is doing well.
To see him……"
When Yang Shu was eight years old, Yang Xiaotian, the youngest biological son of Lao Yangtou, was taken away by a big shot who came from Hucheng after hearing the news because he had awakened his psychic powers.
Yang Xiaotian was twelve years old that year, and the old Yangtou at that time was extremely prosperous. He had a total of five children, and how could he not be happy when he finally had a psychic?
What's even more rare is that Yang Xiaotian made the breakthrough on his own, rather than a psychic thing that was acquired. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been taken away by the big shots in Hucheng.
However, after the excitement, there was loneliness. Not long after Yang Xiaotian left, Lao Yangtou fell ill. After a psychic doctor came to see him, he said that Lao Yangtou had a heart disease and there was nothing he could do.
Two more years later, Lao Yangtou finally ran out of gas. In the past two years, all the letters sent to the address left by the big shot in Hucheng were not heard from at all.
When he was dying, Old Yangtou could only tell Yang Shu to become a psychic so that he could see what Yang Xiaotian was like.
When taking care of Lao Yangtou's funeral, those who once complimented him, such as Lao Zhaotou, recited the widely circulated saying more than once: If the psychic succeeds, the children will be lucky; if the psychic fails, the parents will be lucky.
At that time, Yang Shu could not understand it well, but after these two days of experience, Yang Shu understood the meaning of that sentence.
Because the channeling failed, he will have to stay with Lao Zhaotou and others all day long, then find a woman to give birth to several children, fulfill his responsibility to extend his life, and then wait for the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, Yang Shu could not help but tremble with excitement, because after all, he was only sixteen years old!
That kind of scene is a bit cruel for a person of his age.
The door was pushed open, and a little head poked through the crack in the door.
"Ah! Yang Shu, you finally woke up! How do you feel now? Are you still feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Looking at the girl wearing a thick pink cotton robe, especially the vague empty space on her forehead, Yang Shu was very uneasy: "Ah! Liu Yu, why is it you! Did you bring me back? Thank you so much
Already?"
"I can carry you. It was my father and the others who brought you back."
"Oh! Then thank your dad for me. I will thank you in person when I see him."
"What's there to thank you for? After all, we will be a family from now on..."
Yang Shu had a bad premonition: "What... what kind of family..."
Liu Yu said with a slightly red face: "It's just... I decided to marry you... tonight... we..."
Although Liu Yu didn't say anything about having a baby that year, Yang Shu was frightened even so.
He has not yet made plans to stay in a village like Old Zhaotou, Old Yangtou and others. Although the spirit capture was unsuccessful this time, Yang Shuke has not given up on becoming a psychic.
Looking at the shy girl who lowered her head slightly, she saw a fiery body and a hot heart wrapped under the pink cotton robe. As long as Yang Shu wanted to, the two of them could take that sacred step tonight.
And people like Liu Yu were not alone. Even Yang Shu knew without asking that just last night, many people who had just completed the New Year ceremony had already completed that sacred step.
When you become an adult, you have to be responsible for your own actions. There is no longer any protection and advice from your elders, which makes the young girls who yearn for the adult world no longer able to bear it. But many years later, will they fail because of today's impulse?
Regret, then it is unknown...
"Ah! It hurts, it hurts! My body hurts so much!"
Yang Shu suddenly screamed, and at the same time, his hands were gently kneading his thighs. In order to be realistic, Yang Shu quietly closed his mouth and sucked hard until he felt a hint of fishy saltiness in his mouth, then he pulled the gums out of his mouth.
The blood sucked out was mixed with saliva and spit out.
"Ah! Yang Shu, why are you still vomiting blood? I'll go find a psychic doctor to take a look at you..."
"Ah! No, no, I just want to have a good rest. Then...I'm a little hungry..."
"Oh! Then I'll go find you some food."
Liu Yu, whose face gradually calmed down, lost interest for a while and turned around and went out to find food for Yang Shu.
Yang Shu took a deep breath, stood up and put on his cotton robe, and then started to pack up in the house.
“Tuk-tuk-tuk!”
Hearing the knock on the door, Yang Shu thought it was Liu Yu who had come back, and said without looking back: "Come in yourself! When did you become so polite!"
After the door opened, there was no unnecessary sound. Yang Shu turned around in confusion and saw a hooded man standing outside the house.
"Who are you……"
The visitor entered the house, turned around and closed the door. After taking off his hood, Yang Shu was surprised to find that it was a girl from the west end of the village, who was also one of the people who attended the coming-of-age ceremony yesterday.
Because this girl used to be quite introverted, Yang Shu didn't even remember her name.
"What's the matter with you?"
"Yang Shu, you haven't accepted Liu Yu, right? What do you think of me?"
Yang Shu looked at the girl whose name he didn't even remember, and didn't know what to say for a moment!
Unlike Liu Yu, who is straightforward and aggressive, this girl looks very calm, like a pool of spring water. Although she doesn't move too much, seeing her makes people feel inexplicably comfortable.
"Hello...Hello! I haven't given up on my dream of becoming a psychic."
The girl's reddish face froze, and then she said with some horror: "Yang Shu, do you want to..."
"Yes! I won't give up, so I can only say sorry to you."
The girl was silent, and after a long time she sighed and said, "Sorry to bother you, I wish you success!"
The girl turned around and opened the door. The rays of the setting sun outside the house shone in. The girl's long shadow extended to Yang Shu's feet. The girl's back with the afterglow was imprinted in Yang Shu's mind, giving him a sudden thought.
The urge to speak and leave her behind.
As adults, everyone is changing, but young people still keep their dreams in mind...
