That was the darkest period in Chen Qiu's life, but overnight, almost everyone in the Chen family was filled with distrust of himself.
At that time, Chen Qiu was only a seven or eight-year-old child, but Chen Qiu was always inexplicably blamed for all the bad things in his family. Especially his cousin's tit-for-tat confrontation was like a thorn in his heart.
Chen Qiu could not forget it in his heart.
Every day was like a lump in the throat, and this depressing life lasted for half a year.
Finally one day, the Chen family couldn't stand Chen Qiu anymore and complained to Chen Xiu.
Chen Qiu was escorted to the front of the hall like a criminal. It was raining heavily that day, but there was no relative to hold an umbrella for him.
"Grandpa!" His cousin stepped forward angrily: "I really can't stand Xiaoqiu anymore. Since he returned to the Chen family again, I have not disliked him at all. I even gave him my best toys to play with. Normally, even
I left him some snacks that I couldn't bear to eat, but instead of being grateful, he stole my toys in the middle of the night and even brutally killed my favorite pet."
"Yes, Master Chen! This little guy's dirty hands and feet will definitely cause trouble for the Chen family in the future."
"I strongly recommend that he be expelled from the Chen family."
Obviously this was not the first time that Chen Xiu heard complaints from others. Ever since Ouyang Xin died and Shen Changsheng sent Chen Qiu to the Chen family, there have been many such protests, but Chen Xiu did not take it seriously, but now things are getting worse.
Moreover, his own things would be lost inexplicably, only to be found hidden by Chen Qiu in his room. Even one of his most cherished antiques was stolen.
Moreover, coupled with the gossip from his cousin's family, Chen Xiu's old-fashioned thoughts were firmly convinced.
Since Ouyang Xin's death, Chen Qiu's character has been very withdrawn, not good at words, and he is not as good at pleasing his grandfather as his cousin. As time goes by, Chen Xiu naturally dislikes him.
However, the reason why Chen Qiu was not expelled from the Chen family was because of Chen Qiu's father's face.
But now, it is obvious that the time has come, and keeping Chen Qiu in the Chen family will inevitably arouse everyone's dissatisfaction.
After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Xiu waved his hand and looked at Chen Qiu with cold eyes: "Xiao Qiu, please go, I don't want you to become a burden to the Chen family."
Chen Qiu stood there blankly, looking around with empty eyes. In those cold and contemptuous eyes, Chen Qiu looked very helpless.
In this way, Chen Qiu was thrown out of the Chen family by his biological father in a dramatic manner. He did not even say a word to himself, let alone give himself an extra look.
The heavy rain, lightning and thunder made Chen Qiu feel like he was in a swamp. His heart was filled with despair and collapse. All that came to his mind was Ouyang Xin's smile.
After an unknown amount of time, a figure slowly stood in front of Chen Qiu. When he raised his head, he saw Shen Changsheng holding an oil paper umbrella and looking at Chen Qiu's pitiful appearance. He smiled kindly: "
Kowtow three times, and from now on, you will be my closed disciple."
The closed disciple is of great significance and refers to the last disciple.
Chen Qiu's eyes were dull and he looked at Shen Changsheng blankly, somewhat unsure of what to do.
"Do you want to take revenge? Do you want to stand in front of these people again one day and tell them that you, Chen Qiu, are not just another person?"
Chen Qiu's heart trembled and he gritted his teeth: "I want to!"
Immediately, without any hesitation, he knelt down on his knees and banged his head three times, so hard that there was blood on his forehead.
Blood mixed with rain was trampled under his feet. Shen Changsheng smiled happily: "Okay, okay! From now on, you are my disciple, Shen Changsheng! Let's go and meet your seven senior sisters!"
...
The picture ended abruptly here, followed by endless darkness.
Chen Qiu returned to reality, his face calm, but his heart was filled with turmoil.
The memories of his childhood were still vivid in his mind, and they were always the pain that Chen Qiu didn't want to touch.
This memory still touched Chen Qiu deeply. He didn't even want to leave. It was as if Ouyang Xin was still standing in front of him alive. She was stroking his hair just like she did when he was a child, with her eyes filled with doting.
Carrying the overwhelming hatred year after year, Chen Qiu is rarely like now, lying calmly and thinking in this empty and illusory world, ignoring everything in the outside world, and enjoying the tranquility of the present calmly and softly.
If possible, Chen Qiu would like to spend his life here.
The whole body was extremely dark and he couldn't see his fingers. Chen Qiu was very lazy. Thinking of Ouyang Xin's appearance, he couldn't help but have a gentle and happy smile on his lips.
"Junior brother!" But suddenly, a sweet shout came out of thin air.
This made Chen Qiu tremble unexpectedly. This voice belonged to Lin Ruoxi.
"Senior sister?!" Chen Qiu regained consciousness in an instant, and was shocked to find that his inner energy was draining away at a terrifying speed.
"Junior brother, wake up quickly!" Lin Ruoxi's voice came again, coming from all directions.
"Senior sister! Senior sister Lin!" Chen Qiu shouted, but he couldn't see anything around him, and the loss of inner energy became more and more serious. Chen Qiu even felt that his body was very weak.
Haven't you already woken up?
wrong!
Suddenly realizing something, Chen Qiu broke into cold sweat on his back. He was in a cave deep in the mountains of Tianhai Villa, and the surrounding area was obviously not that cave.
In other words, are you awake in a dream?
"Junior brother!" Lin Ruoxi's voice was very anxious, followed by sudden severe pain.
...
In reality, Chen Qiu opened his eyes suddenly and looked down. Lin Ruoxi was biting her arm. No wonder there was severe pain.
"Senior sister, don't bite me!" Chen Qiu grinned in pain and said hurriedly.
"Well, you're awake. I've been calling you for a long time." Lin Ruoxi covered her mouth and nose, and threw a handkerchief to herself: "Hurry up and cover your mouth and nose. The fragrance of this flower is poisonous and can make people hallucinate."
Chen Qiu took the handkerchief, which exuded a light fragrance mixed with Lin Ruoxi's unique body fragrance, which smelled very good.
After covering his mouth and nose, Chen Qiu asked vaguely: "Senior sister, what's going on?"
Looking in the blink of an eye, Lu Yao and others were still unconscious on the ground. Some of their faces were filled with happy smiles, while others were ferocious and painful. It seemed that they all had different hallucinations. The only thing in common was their inner strength. It's losing like crazy.
Chen Qiu unfolded his consciousness and detected the inner energy in his body. As expected, he also lost a lot of his inner energy. If Lin Ruoxi hadn't woken him up in time, all his inner energy might have been drained out.
Without saying anything, Chen Qiu quickly stood up and sat in the middle of the group of people. He used his inner strength to open a barrier to isolate the fragrance from the outside. However, this effect was very small and could only temporarily block the fragrance of flowers. It was not a long-term solution.
