There was indeed a faint sound coming from inside the door.
"It seems like someone is talking." Qin Yin stretched his neck and said.
Everyone nodded.
"What's the smell in there?"
Baomu shook his head helplessly, "It's strange, I can't smell it."
The fool pulled Baomu forward and said, "Baomu, come here and listen carefully."
Baomu obediently leaned over and put his ear to the door.
Rustling, rustling...
There is indeed a sound.
Baomu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. Just when everyone was confused, Baomu suddenly took a breath of air and his eyes widened in disbelief.
"What's wrong?"
As if unsure, Baomu held his breath and listened carefully for a while, then finally raised his head and whispered, "I heard Xiaolan's voice."
***
My name is Lian.
I was born here and grew up here, which is now Lianshui Village.
My mother passed away not long after giving birth to me. I don’t even remember what she looked like. My father entrusted me to the neighbor next door and then went down the mountain. It is said that no one has ever seen her again. he.
So, in fact, I was raised by a neighbor's aunt, but when I was seven years old, something happened to the neighbor's aunt in the woods. When she went to cut firewood in the forest, she fell. When the dry well was found by the villagers, the body had already begun to rot. By the way, that forest... someone must have introduced it to you, it is now the ghost forest.
My neighbor's family usually relies on my aunt to take care of everything. My uncle only knows how to drink and beat people, and he will also do some things to me, not just me, but also his biological son, Ran'er, who is my husband and later his son. of prophet.
Ran'er is two years older than me. When I had no idea what I had suffered, Ran'er had already begun to understand.
On the day my aunt's body was found, in front of my aunt's funeral hall, my uncle used a broken wine bottle to order me to take off my clothes, get into the coffin, lie next to my aunt and let him abuse me. I was in pain, but I didn't care. Dare to resist, I will always remember that scene. On his shrugged shoulders, I saw Ran'er's angry eyes. It was a very scary look... Maybe you will find it funny, because after all... there are already more terrible things Something happened, but believe me, that look really frightened the seven-year-old me.
Ran'er's face flashed across his face, and then his uncle let out a weird cry, and his body suddenly became very heavy. It's funny to say that I was only focused on pushing the heavy body away, and didn't even notice the uncle's blood. and brain matter were splashed on my face, and just like that, I crawled out of the coffin. With my face covered in blood, I and Ran'er, who was holding the axe, looked at each other blankly, and then, we both laughed.
We threw my uncle's body into the well in the backyard overnight. The next day, in front of the villagers, we pretended not to know, making the whole village think that my uncle had left the village like my father. Ran'er became an orphan, and the villagers sympathized with us, but only we knew that we were finally free.
After that, a couple without children adopted us. In the first few days, we lived very happily. The couple were both good people. I often thought that if what happened after that had not happened, we would have just lived in their home. When you grow up, what will it be like now?
Since then, Ran'er's body has changed.
However, I can now channel spirits.
I don’t know if the term psychic is strict, because Ran’er can simply hear some strange sounds, smell some smells that others can’t smell, and he can also predict some small things, yes, that’s it
The so-called prophet, so it is inaccurate that Ran'er's talent recorded in the book was born with him. Ran'er's ability only appeared after he killed his father.
When they discovered Ran'er's ability, the villagers were very surprised. For a village that relies on farming to make a living, a person who can predict tides is like a gift from God.
Ran'er became a lucky star in the village. After we moved into that couple's home, the aunt of that couple even got pregnant. We were very happy for her, but because of this incident, my fate began to turn.
.
During the day, my uncle had to go out to collect firewood and plow the fields. Ran'er and I took care of our aunt at home. It happened that that day, a villager asked Ran'er to help find his missing cow. While I was staying by my aunt's side, her stomach started to hurt.
She was bleeding a lot. I was scared, but I didn’t understand, so I ran to the next door crying for help. When I finally found someone and returned home, the blood was all over the floor, and my aunt died next to the stove.
The bodies were cold.
I'm very sad and worried.
I kept crying, but this time, the villagers no longer sympathized with me.
They suspected that I was an unlucky child, and they believed that I had cursed my mother and two aunts to death.
Witch.
Some people started to say that.
The women in the village were very scared. No one dared to approach me. They even wanted to throw me into the mountains. Ran'er protected me. Ran'er told the villagers that I was not a witch and he could vouch for it, because Ran'er,
The villagers let me go for the time being, but no one would adopt us anymore. The two of us moved back to the original house of Ran'er's family and began to live together.
Until we grow up, that period should be our happiest days.
We gradually grow up, little by little, and become adults. You have also seen my appearance... Naturally, this has attracted some criticism for me.
Of course, I don't care. As long as I can be with Ran'er, I don't care about anything else. However, when Ran'er and I decided to get married, the villagers expressed their opposition.
What they said is that although Ran'er and I are not biological siblings, the friendship we grew up with is the same as that of siblings. If we get married, it will violate the general ethics, but I know in my heart that the first reason is that they are afraid of bringing up
The curse on me will tarnish Ran'er's prophetic power, and the second reason is my appearance. So far, my "curse" has only killed women. Therefore, men who have other thoughts about me will naturally also
Refuse me to be with Ran'er.
Fortunately, Ran'er and I have the same determination.
We will never leave each other.
So, we pretended to give up the idea and continued to live peacefully, but, I got pregnant.
After that, everything happened.
This should also be the thing you are most curious about.
We originally thought that after so many years, since the matter was settled, we could no longer hide it.
The villagers didn't think so.
The villagers who had always respected and respected Ran'er seemed to have completely changed.
They are preparing to sacrifice our family and beg the gods to send a new prophet to Fire Lotus Village.
