Ghost Eye? What ghost eye? He was referring to the red bean sized mole on my earlobe. What did I think it was? This study room is the one I brought out from my mother's womb.
I didn't pay much attention to it before, and I always thought it looked better because it was on the lips and ears, so people looked like they were wearing a red earring.
In fact, my will is not painful nor itchy, so it is not a big problem at all. I couldn't help but to laugh. I told him, "You're talking about this, ah. This is a birthmark of mine that has been there since I was young, so it's definitely not some kind of curse that has been cast by a ghost. Look at me, it's not like nothing has happened after I've grown up like this …"
Something's not right. I was going to say that nothing had happened to me since I was born, but now, I feel that my fate has been disastrous and very unlucky.
My father died a long time ago, and was sold to the Bai Clan by my stepmother.
Such bad luck is not something an ordinary person can have. I must have been cursed by some ghost. It must have been like this!
He actually said that I was cursed by a ghost, so it must be this. I couldn't help but to widen my eyes, unable to believe for a moment that the red bean mole that accompanied me for 18 years was cursed by a ghost!
"I remember now, you didn't come from Mountain Stone Village did you?"
I nodded again and again, and that was when I remembered. There is a curious phenomenon in our mountain village, which is that men never live past the age of forty, and that all the seasons in the mountain village are a few days later than elsewhere, and I do not know what it is.
My father told me when I was young that our village had been cursed. Could it be that this curse has now been put on me?
"Don't tell me you know something about the Mountain Stone Village?" Our village was indeed cursed, and no one lived past the age of 40. Many people were widowed, and it was for this reason that my stepmother's mind became twisted and perverted … "
I have never longed for him to know the secret of our mountain village, this is something that cannot be mentioned. I buried him in the deepest part of my heart, but I never thought that I would one day stand in front of this secret!
And the feeling that I was about to uncover it was something I had never felt before, a feeling of fear and anticipation.
I really want to know what caused this curse on our village, and how everyone died in one night. This isn't something that an ordinary village can do, and it isn't an ordinary curse either. I know that this must be a very powerful ghost.
I have heard of this curse in your mountain village before, but back then, your village wasn't called mountain rock village. The reason why you call your village mountain rock village 'village' was because my great-grandfather had changed this name for almost 150 years, right? Because your village's five elements are lacking in wood and soil.
I looked at Yuan Qingfeng but didn't say anything. I didn't think that the history of our village had anything to do with his great-grandfather!
"South River Village!"
At this time, Yuan Qingfeng said these two words.
I looked at him blankly. Could it be because our village has more Five Elements Water? But I don't think there is much water in our village, only a very small stream, but the quality of this stream is said to be not very good, and we have to heat it up twice or twice before we can drink it, for our village has grown up drinking it since we were young, and has become immune to it.
"So Fei'er came from that village!" I... "I didn't even know …"
The person who said it was unintentional and the person who heard it was intentional. Bai Yu mistook the word 'useless' for 'helpless'. I was momentarily startled, and then I felt all the hairs on my body standing on end as I broke out in cold sweat.
I know, so our village has violated the taboo, the homonym "helpless!"
It was a name that could be picked anywhere in any village. In the underworld, there was a Bridge of Helplessness, so it connected the Yin and Yang Worlds to the place where they were reborn. If it was named, then perhaps it would be fatal.
"You've already guessed it, right? That's right, your village is a homonym for 'helpless'... Thus, this curse was not actually a curse, but a life … "It's all fate …" As Yuan Qingfeng said that, he couldn't help sighing.
"My great-grandfather added wood and earth to your names, but he was still unable to change the feng shui of your village, because your village was once a jetty. That is to say, all the ghosts that were reincarnated would pass through your village."
Hearing what Yuan Qingfeng said, a chill went down my spine. I felt that my internal organs were beginning to churn, and my stomach was getting sick, I didn't expect our village to have such a background, this is too terrifying. I can't believe that all the ghosts would pass through our village, no wonder our village is so unlucky!
"You also know that the Underworld and the Underworld are two parallel worlds. That is to say, your village is actually very close to the Underworld's Bridge, so everyone's lifespan is very short, especially men's. Because men are yang creatures, yin qi makes it so that they can't live past 40 years of age."
"What!?" Was it true that the world was parallel to the world of the living? Could it be that our village exists in the underworld as well, and our village is very close to the Bridge of Helplessness in the underworld? "
This was like a dream. I simply could not believe that our village was so terrifying. With such a close proximity to the Bridge of Helplessness, it's no wonder that so many strange things happened. Why did so many people die in our village in one night?
Furthermore, everyone had died horribly, as if they had been scratched by ghosts. There were many bloody wounds on their faces. If it wasn't... If it wasn't for my stepmother selling me to the Bai Clan, perhaps I would have died such a miserable death …
"Ai …" I have only heard my great-grandfather mention it before, and I said that when he changed the geomancy in your village that year, he also received a curse, and you also know that changing the Feng Shui was not something that could be done easily, and it requires a price, and the price for that is that every 100 years, a person who suffers from the miasma will appear in your village, and that person is the lucky star of your village, because he will be able to withstand all of the miasma in the village, causing the people in your village to be able to continue living. I think the reason why your village died so tragically in one night was actually because of you. "
Actually, there's no need for Yuan Qingfeng to continue speaking. I have already guessed that the unlucky person who bore the curse as mentioned by Yuan Qingfeng must be me. Otherwise, why would Yuan Qingfeng have taken a fancy to me?
I kept taking a few steps back and tightly held Bai Qi's wrist. Bai Qi naturally understood that my life wasn't going well, so he looked worriedly at Yuan Qingfeng.
Back then, my great-grandfather had clearly told your village's village chief that he must remember that every 100 years, such a person would appear, and this person would be in your village for the rest of his life. If she were to leave or marry out, no one in your village would be able to withstand this kind of cold.
What, what! Am I hearing things?
He would be in this village for the rest of his life!
Isn't that the same as a prisoner? This kind of life was worse than death. Besides, why was that man so unlucky? He must be able to withstand the Yin Qi of the entire village.
"Actually, it's a lifetime, but the time it takes is very short. After all, no one can endure such a heavy cold. So, he can only live to 18 years old …"
18 years old... Yes, that's right!
Before I reached the age of 18, I was kidnapped and sold to the Bai Clan by my stepmother. Furthermore, I even went to the temple, which means that I don't belong to the Mountain Stone Village. That is to say …
For a moment, I had mixed feelings. I didn't know what to say. Did our village chief not know about this? Or perhaps after one or two hundred years, everyone had already forgotten about it and no one could recall it. I don't know if I am lucky or not. If I don't believe you, it is because of me alone, causing the death of everyone in our village.
But at the same time, I was also fortunate because I was still able to live. In reality, it was all thanks to me and that dead bastard from the Bai family that I went to worship. At that time, how could I have known that I would be the end of my life at the age of 18...
I stood there in a panic, tears streaming down my face. There were so many things I knew all at once today, and it was really hard for me to accept that an unlucky person like myself had to endure this type of pain in the entire village for 18 years. It was no wonder that my body was so weak and sickly.
