" It's such a precious thing, I'd better…" Seeing that Vijia was staring at Yingluo silently, Viney pouted reluctantly, but the firm denial that came out of Vijia's mouth in the next second seemed to be more affirmation of its value.
"This isn't that precious."
"But…"
"If you don't want it, then throw it away." Vijia took one last look at Yingluo and turned to walk towards the house.
"Throw it away?" Viney stared at her back, which was as cold as ice, and was furious.
She had always cherished these gifts from others, as well as the people who were her friends. Of course, there was also Vika. These were all extremely precious things for an orphan, so she really could not tolerate Vijia's words.
"Don't be indifferent and unimportant! If you don't think it's important, don't keep it with you! Don't give it away so seriously! If you don't think it's important, I do!”
"Hurry up. It'll be troublesome if you're late and don't do business.”Vika leaned against the stone wall by the door, her long hair covering her face, as if she hadn't heard Viney. The dizziness brought by the fever made her breathing a little heavier.
"Since it's a gift from someone else, it's considered trash! I'll keep it well too!" Viney stuffed Yingluo into her purse, rushed to the door, and knocked on it a few times.
With a sharp but heavy creak, the old wooden door on the stone house slowly opened. The room was equipped with old-fashioned light bulbs. The dim yellow light shot out from the door frame and formed a small wall.
The old man, who was over a hundred years old, stood in the wall of light. The light made his skin, which was as dry as tree bark, look even more sallow, making his face, which was full of deep wrinkles, look especially terrifying.
Just like Granny Ghost in a horror movie, Viney was so scared that she took a few steps back before she finally calmed down.
Before Viney could say anything, the old man suddenly stepped forward and held her hand. A pair of yellow eyes stared fixedly at the face in front of him, and his mouth kept muttering the words 'Tianyi, Tianyi.'
"Granny?" Viney raised her other hand and waved it in front of the old man.
"Hurry up! Hurry up and enter the house!"
"I'm sorry to disturb you so late at night.”Viney was dragged into the house by her grandmother while she was talking. Vika also slowly walked into the house with her hands on the wall. The lights in the room were very dim and the dust was very heavy. It was obvious that the old man lived alone and was not in good health. He could not clean often.
Looking at her grandmother's staggering back, Viney felt a sharp pain in her heart. She couldn't help but turn back to look at Vika, who had just come in, and said,""Sis, you're one of them."
Vika felt that she was about to fall apart, so she didn't have the energy to care about Viney. She saw a small stool in the corner and sat down without caring about the dirt.
Seeing the ice face remain silent, the anger that Viney had been trying hard to suppress burst out again. She rolled her eyes, pulled down her hat, and walked into the room with a pout.
There was a square table in the old room, and next to the table was the bed. There was a door made of cloth by the bed, and Viney sat down with her back facing the bed. After a while, the old man came out of the room beside the bed with three cups of tea.
"Come, have a cup of hot tea to warm your body.”
"How can I ask you to pour tea for us?”Viney quickly caught it.
"It's fine, it's fine. Everyone who came was a guest. Why are you alone? Isn't she coming in?" The old man said as he looked outside.
"Oh, she came with me."
"Have a seat first. I'll go and give her the tea.”
"Just leave it here. She will come in and get it herself later. Let's get started." Viney took the cup of tea from Vijia, pretending to be anxious. She was too embarrassed to ask an elder to serve her tea.
"Alright then. You're here to ask about marriage, right?”
"Hehe, that's right. A colleague of mine recommended me to come here. She said it was very effective.”Viney touched her nose shyly.
"Before I read your fortune, I have something to ask you. Have you seen a string of glowing red beads?”The old man suddenly leaned his face toward Viney, and the excitement that couldn't be hidden overflowed from his yellow eyes.
"Yes, yes!" Viney was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. She quickly took out the jade pendant and handed it over.
The old man couldn't wait to take the Yingluo, as if he had obtained a treasure. She looked at it again and again, touched it again and again. The faint fluorescent light flowing in the dark red bead was reflected in her yellow pupils, and her face was full of wonder.
" I've finally found it, I've finally seen it…"
"What do you mean?" Viney was confused.
"Oh, it's like this. My family has been doing this for generations. When I was young, I heard my mother talk about reincarnation. I've visited many places, but there's no result. I didn't expect to see it today. It's really fate!”
"You mean…you've seen my previous life?!”" What's it like?" Viney asked excitedly. Tell me, quickly tell me!"
"Sigh, speaking of which, it was the last time I saw her.”The old man put down Yingluo with a look of regret.
"I was only seventeen at that time. One day, when I went to set up a stall, the sun had just risen and there were not many people on the street. When I passed by a small alley, I found a girl who looked like you lying in the corner.”
"Is he dead?"
"Maybe. She lay there, her entire body devoid of blood. I have a string of beads that are as red as blood on my hand. There is a lot of light inside. My intuition tells me that this bead is definitely not ordinary.”The old man sighed as he looked at Yingluo.
"I was just about to go over and see what was going on, but a young man suddenly ran out and carried her away.”
"What kind of boy is he? Isn't he handsome?" Compared to Yingluo and her previous life, Viney seemed to care more about the young man.
"His clothes are torn, and there's blood all over them. His hair is also messy. He must have fought with someone! Although he looked like a beggar, he wasn't that dirty. However, that look…
It makes me feel uncomfortable just looking at it."
Vijia heard the conversation between Viney and her grandma clearly from the outside. The sudden thunderbolt woke her up from her fever. So many undeniable facts had already happened, so why was he still so naive?
The necklace was on her hand when she was born. Her family thought that she was a lucky star sent by the heavens, but this so-called lucky star only brought natural disasters and man-made disasters.
She should have guessed it a long time ago. Giving Yingluo to Viney as a blessing gift was a ridiculous gamble that was destined to become a self-deceiving scam from the beginning.
Since all hope was a fluke, and all flukes were tragedies, why would he naively hope for that little bit of light?
Since it was all wrong, why couldn't he leave with all his sorrow and go to the endless abyss to bury them?
—
Retribution.
It was retribution!
—
Vijia was about to go crazy. She hated herself for being stupid enough to believe that a person who only brought misfortune could bless others with happiness. She rushed into the room, stuffed the Yingluo on the table into her purse, and pulled Viney out.
"What are you doing? I haven't even read my fate yet!" However, no matter how much Viney shouted, Vijia didn't seem to hear her. She just dragged her and quickened her pace.
Looking at the two sisters leaving, the old man shook his head and slowly closed the old door. The blood moon hung high in the sky. This dilapidated stone house that had been eliminated by the times actually had an indescribable sense of desolation and sorrow under the reflection of the snow.
