667 Mirage
Su Xiaozhi staggered after Little Niu. She grabbed Little Niu’s clothes with her dirty hands and begged in despair.
She needed help. She couldn’t lose this chance.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to live. She didn’t know how to live anymore. She didn’t know what she should do. She’d done what she felt was right, but she was too upset. Too upset.
Little Niu stopped and said kindly and calmly, “Do you agree?”
Su Xiaozhi nodded repeatedly. “I agree.”
Little Niu smiled. “Okay.”
When Su Xiaozhi heard the word ‘okay’, she completely relaxed. She sat down on the spot and broke down into tears.
Little Niu did not rush her and just waited for her. He stood quietly beside Su Xiaozhi. Su Xiaozhi had thought that he would leave, but he stayed there. He looked like a child, but for some reason, she felt at ease.
Su Xiaozhi had a strong intuition in her heart. This intuition told her that Little Niu could really help her walk out of this pain.
When Su Xiaozhi was tired of crying, she got up and said to Little Niu in a choked voice, “How should I address you?”
Little Niu smiled and said gently, “Fate, just call me Daoist priest Niu.”
“Daoist priest Niu, where are you from?”
Su Xiaozhi subconsciously asked. She realized that there seemed to be something wrong with Little Niu’s eyes, as if he couldn’t see. She suspiciously waved her hand in front of Little Niu’s eyes, but he didn’t seem to notice.
In response to Su Xiaozhi’s question, Little Niu only smiled faintly and replied, “I came from nowhere and can resolve the suffering of everyone in the world.”
“Oh, I don’t have much silver left. Is that okay?”
Su Xiaozhi was a little uncertain. She was a little dazed. She felt that she could believe him, but she was afraid that he was a liar.
“The payment I want is not silver. I’ll just take a tear from you.”
Little Niu’s expression remained calm. No matter what Su Xiaozhi’s state of mind was, he maintained his original appearance.
Su Xiaozhi was a little surprised. “Just a tear. How, how can this be the payment? I…”
Su Xiaozhi felt her heart ache and tears welled up in her eyes. Her tears were the least valuable things. She often cried, many, many times.
However, today, her most worthless thing actually became a payment asked for by others. Su Xiaozhi had mixed feelings.
After returning to the house, Su Xiaozhi asked Little Niu to sit down while she went to prepare hot water for him.
The house was empty, just like her. She looked fine on the outside, but her heart was riddled with holes. Her heart was even more empty and desolate.
Sometimes, Su Xiaozhi could not figure out what she was asking for in this life.
Sitting down in front of Little Niu, Su Xiaozhi was about to ask how Little Niu would help her when Little Niu spoke first.
“Fated one, close your eyes.”
Little Niu smiled and looked in Su Xiaozhi’s direction.
Su Xiaozhi looked into Little Niu’s empty eyes. She felt like he was looking at her, but it didn’t seem that way.
She closed her eyes and her vision instantly darkened, making her nervous.
Click, click, click.
Two strange voices sounded in Su Xiaozhi’s ears. She felt that these voices seemed to be beside her ears, but also seemed to have originated from her mind.
Su Xiaozhi wanted to escape from this unfamiliar and strange perception. She wanted to open her eyes, but she realized that she couldn’t open them at all.
“Su Xiaozhi, go.”
It was as if an illusory voice came from the horizon. Su Xiaozhi felt as if she had been sucked away by something.
When she opened her eyes, everything around her was different.
Colors flew in front of her, like a strange mirage. Every frame was of her, waiting for her to feel it. Every frame was fatally attractive to her.
She couldn’t help but touch it. Then, she was sucked in.
Over and over again, Su Xiaozhi went from surprise, to fear, to resistance.
She cried and begged for mercy, but it was useless. She was still sucked into those places time and time again and felt the fates of thousands of variations of Su Xiaozhi. These Su Xiaozhi originated from all the sources of dissatisfaction in the depths of her heart.
In the past, she blamed Su Sanlang for not being magnanimous enough and not paying attention to brotherhood. Then, in one of the variations, Su Sanlang did as she wished.
After living a good life, Su Sanlang forgave Old Master Su and Madam Wang according to her wishes. Their family returned to the Su family again, and all their ways to earn money were confiscated. Madam Wang and Old Master Su also requested Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao to let Su Chong and Su Hua give up the good teacher.
Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao did not resist at all. They would give Madam Wang and Old Master Su whatever they asked for.
Su Chong and Su Hua were also bullied by Su Chao, Su Qing, Su Shun, Su Lei, and the others. They had become silent and extremely gloomy. In such a fate, she could no longer see their dazzling brilliance.
Madam Zhao passed away early after years of hard work.
The very sensible Su Xiaoling and the very cute Su Xiaolu were betrothed by Madam Wang and Old Master Su. They were not doing well, and they were lifeless.
No matter which fate it was, Su Xiaozhi’s heart ached. She only felt repression and pain. Was this fate what she wanted?
No, she didn’t want that. She didn’t want this.
She felt as if she had fallen into reincarnation and was sealed in this life. Even if the reason for each life was different, the outcome was the same.
The Su family did not make a fortune. Su Dalang and Su Erlang did not care about reputation when doing business. The business was destroyed.
They were like leeches in the field. They only knew how to suck blood desperately.
Everyone in the Su family was the same.
Su Xiaozhi grabbed her hair and screamed madly. She didn’t want to see such a tragic thing happen again and again, but she couldn’t escape.
After countless breakdowns, she became calmer and calmer. Bit by bit, her heart became at peace. She felt the fog in her eyes being pushed aside. At that moment, she understood.
Heat slid down her face. The heat burned into her heart.
“It’s good that the fated person understands.”
A voice sounded in her ear. Su Xiaozhi opened her eyes and reached out to hold her heart as she cried, “I was wrong. I was wrong. I let Third Brother down. I let them down. Boohoo…”
She had always been wrong. It turned out that no matter what she had thought, as long as what she had thought became reality, it would not end well in the end.
The reason why Su Sanlang was where he was today was because he had already understood.
It was not that he did not value the relationship between brothers and parents. His third brother, who was not good with words, had actually given them many chances.
Even after suffering so much, he had always been kind.
However, his parents had clearly been enjoying all kinds of benefits, but they had never been satisfied.
