"Mom, what did you say? Who drowned?" I suddenly felt a buzz in my head, and my heart seemed to have stopped beating at this moment.
" Bai Xiaohua, your primary school classmate. Such a beautiful girl, I don't know why she committed suicide. What a pity…"
As her mother spoke, she sighed to herself.
At this moment, I didn't have the mood to sigh. My heart had long been filled with fear. If what happened to the old landlady could have been an illusion, then the few minutes when the white flower appeared in front of me was extremely real.
"Shi Tou, hurry up and leave. Your dad caught a wild rabbit from the field this afternoon. I'll make rabbit meat for you tonight!”
When I got home, my dad had already started to stew rabbit meat. However, to me, any delicacies had become tasteless. I only cared about the pair of green sandals in my bag. If that pair of shoes was still there, it meant that I wasn't dreaming when I saw Bai Xiaohua just now. It really happened.
After dinner, I lay on the bed. My bag was quietly placed in the corner of my room. I tried a few times, but in the end, I didn't have the courage to open it.
The only thing that could prove that it was still in the bag was the faint body odor that was emitted from it.
The next morning, I had a high fever without any warning. I was in a semi-conscious state.
I don't know what happened next. When I regained consciousness, I found myself lying on a bed. A middle-aged woman's voice sounded in my ear," Aunt Liu, you have to help me. Our family only has one son, Shi Tou!”
"Mrs. Stone, don't say anything. Let Aunt Liu take a good look.”A middle-aged man with a hoarse voice said.
Then, I felt a black shadow walking towards me. After a moment of silence, he slowly said," I'm afraid that Shi Tou is haunted by a ghost.”
The black figure who spoke was Aunt Liu, whom Mother had mentioned. She was the only witch in our village and was also a relatively famous witch in the surrounding villages. It was said that she had the ability to pass through Yin.
"Heavens!"
Even though she had already guessed it in her heart, her mother was still frightened when she heard this. She quickly said," Then what should I do? God, why is my life so bitter…"
"Alright, stop talking!"
Unlike his mother's panic, his father was much more rational. He looked at Aunt Liu and said," Is the ghost you're talking about from the Bai Village…"
"I'm not sure about this. Why don't we make a pendant for the baby?”
"Good, good, good!" When his father heard this, he quickly replied and instructed his mother to prepare the things.
The Youyou Pendant is an ancient method of inviting the gods here. It is usually done by a witch. The specific method is to prepare a bowl of white water, put two thin white ropes on the water, and arrange them in a cross. Then, use a pair of chopsticks to hang a pair of scissors. The handle of the scissors is facing the center of the cross. Next, it is similar to the Pen Spirit. Ask questions to the scissors. If the question is correct, the scissors will rotate forward. If it is wrong, it will rotate backward. If it is unrelated, it will not rotate.
After everything was prepared, Aunt Liu first closed her eyes and mumbled some inexplicable words. Then, she suddenly opened her eyes and asked," May I ask if Great Immortal is a servant girl from the Bai Village?”
The scissors didn't move at all.
Aunt Liu saw this and asked again," May I ask if Great Immortal feels wronged?”
After Aunt Liu finished speaking, Scissors still did not respond.
Seeing this, his father was a little puzzled. On the other hand, Aunt Liu was panicking. She stared at Scissors and muttered," Something's wrong, something's wrong…"
Pa!
Before Aunt Liu could finish her sentence, she heard a snap. The white thread tied to the scissors suddenly broke, and the scissors fell into the bowl!
This time, Aunt Liu could no longer remain calm. Looking at the fallen scissors, her eyes were dull, and beads of sweat dripped from her forehead.
Aunt Liu, what's wrong with you?" As his father spoke, he gently tugged at Aunt Liu's clothes.
"Don't touch me!"
Aunt Liu's reaction was unusually intense. She paused for a few seconds and said to her father," I can't help you with this today. You'd better find someone else!”
After she finished speaking, Aunt Liu quickly ran away before her father could say anything. She was as agile as a ten-year-old girl.
"Hey, Auntie Liu, you can't leave! If you don't help us, who else can help us…"
Seeing this, my mother quickly chased after him.
"Mom, stop chasing!"
Seeing this, I called out to my mother.
"Stone? You're awake? When did you wake up?"
When my mother saw this, she woke up and stopped chasing after Aunt Liu. She ran to my side with a face full of surprise.
"I've been awake for half a day, and my fever has subsided.”
"Really?" Mother said as she touched my forehead. After confirming that I was fine, she almost cried." Then why didn't you tell Mom earlier? You scared me to death!”
"I'm fine now!"
Seeing this scene, his father lamented," Shi Tou, you scared us to death this morning. Your eyes rolled back and you didn't respond no matter how we called you. We sent you to the town's health center, but they didn't dare to accept you. They said you couldn't make it…"
Hearing my father say this, my heart skipped a beat, and my eyes rolled back…Then wouldn't I be not far from death?
"Shi Tou, quickly tell Mom, did you bump into something unclean?”Mother saw that I didn't speak and quickly asked.
"Aiya, what did you hit? I came back too late yesterday and accidentally fell into the river. It's normal to have a fever!”
"But Aunt Liu said…"
"Aunt Liu might not be right. Don't let your imagination run wild. Isn't Stone fine now?”His father also comforted him.
Only then did his mother's heart finally calm down a little. She sighed and said," Sigh, it's not that I'm imagining things. The girl from the Bai Village just jumped off the bridge the night before yesterday. The next day, she caught up with you and had a high fever. How can there be such a coincidence?”
" That's right. Speaking of which, Xiaohua is really unfortunate. She was an orphan since she was young. It wasn't easy for her to find parents who loved her. I didn't expect her to…"
"If we had adopted her back then, maybe things wouldn't have turned out this way.”
"It's been so many years. It's useless to talk about this anymore…"
I was stunned when I heard my parents 'conversation. How could Xiao Hua be an orphan? Wasn't she Old Bai's daughter? What about adoption?
Why did my parents never tell me about these things? Could it be that Bai Xiaohua still had some unknown secret?#
