That man was extremely cruel, that woman was extremely hypocritical, and those siblings were extremely ignorant.
But his family... does not have such good conditions. They just gave him the best. They always did this, putting valuable things on his shoulders without asking him if he wanted them, turning them into a heavy burden. Then, this group of people fell into an inexplicable self-movement without authorization, euphemistically calling it "for your own good." Until now, he started to feel sick when he heard these four words. Everything that is imposed should not be there, but everyone is asking for something in return. This is simply unreasonable. Without permission at all, and without even asking, where should we start talking about the so-called repayment and understanding?
He really couldn't figure it out, all the time. For themselves, for the family, for the future, to be worthy of all their efforts... in the final analysis, isn't it for themselves? He felt like a cash cow. If the money falls, everyone is happy. If it doesn't, they keep shaking and beating under the tree until the money falls.
However, it is said that a long time ago, our family was indeed famous all over the world and had many talented people. Many Onmyoji who left home entered the palace and ate the royal food. No matter where they go, someone knows them, and everyone knows their names; no matter who sees them, even if they are relatives of the emperor, they will bow politely. But from a certain day, they began to decline. His mother always complains that her ancestors clearly did nothing wrong, did good deeds, accumulated virtues, exorcised evil and stopped evil, but why is it that not only is there no benefit, but it is getting worse and worse? God is really blind. When he heard this, he was thinking that maybe he had evil intentions just for the purpose of giving them some benefit from God. To take a step back, a master who teaches onmyoji also said... Everything has its reason. Where there is prosperity, there will be decline and decline. There will be victory and defeat, and there will be gain and loss; things must be reversed at their extremes, and their prosperity must decline. He had learned these principles at a very young age, so why didn’t his mother understand them even when her hair was gray?
Why doesn't everyone understand?
In order to regain the love and resources of the people above them, in order not to be ridiculed by their peers, in order not to be gossiped about by the people below...their family must return to its former position. What was the wrong step? No one knows. All they know is that they can't rely on their own generation. If you want to look forward to it, you can only place your hope on the next generation. Some birds can't fly, so they lay eggs and wait for the birds to fly up the branches and turn into phoenixes, flying towards the sun with their three aunts and six aunts in the forest.
This bird son is really trying his best, and his wings are much bigger than any of his ancestors. It can also fly extremely high and far, but it is just too playful and does not know how to return to its nest even in the dark.
They didn't understand at that time that this kid didn't like the sun at all.
No matter how big this courtyard is, it's still a forest; no matter how high this house is, it's just a cage. He just thought, forget it, I won’t fly anymore. His father was looking down on him all day long. In addition to building relationships, he also tried every means to find the best teacher for him. He could understand all of this to some extent. Just stay there for a while. Because at that time, the book boy who flew with him had... fallen to the ground and never came back. When the scholar was alive, he would wake him up and always use a mirror to dazzle his eyes. Sometimes when he practices martial arts in the morning, the boy doesn't have to get up so early. He just waits for him to finish practicing, holding the mirror and swinging it back. He feels that he is his true brother.
At least, you can survive until you get rid of the two old people, right? No one cared about him then. And to be honest, it's not that he, Xiao Huan, has no conscience. These two old men really cannot last much longer.
Obviously they are also aware of this problem. For this reason, they
Also made a preparation.
A preparation that their Huan'er didn't like.
It was said that among the children who went crazy with him, in addition to a few boys, there were also two girls. One of them is the sister of a boy. His parents are always away from home, and his grandparents also leave early and take them with him. That girl is very small. Although she is a bit in the way, she has a eloquent little mouth and is very interesting. The other is the daughter of a tailor on South Street. She doesn't like to learn weaving from her mother, but likes to chase and fight with the boys. Because she has two older brothers at home, her parents seldom care about her.
She is very strong and loyal. If you ignore that pretty face, she is really just like a kid. To say that her parents could indeed give birth, they made her eyes big and her mouth small. Apart from being a bit dark from too much sun, it's still very pleasant. There was a ring on her finger, made of stone, worthless. But she liked it very much and said that her grandma left it for her as a dowry. The last one who dared to snatch her for fun was beaten half to death by her, so the brats fought to let her go. In addition to showing pity for her, they were also a little afraid of the tigress showing off her power.
When everyone asked what they wanted to do in the future, this girl said getting married. Her parents told her not to learn anything if she didn't want to. Anyway, if she looks good, someone must want her.
The girl was thirteen or fourteen years old that year and he was sixteen. Her mother, who was a tailor, arranged for her to be a concubine for a wealthy employer, and she could live a happy life. He felt sorry for the girl, but he couldn't explain why. We were all young at that time and didn't understand anything. He only knew that when the girl told everyone that they couldn't play together in the future, everyone was sad. The girl was very happy, saying that it was her grandma's ring that blessed her, and she was able to live a prosperous life.
They and Yatou played happily until dark, and then reluctantly broke up. The boy who usually made fun of her cried, crying violently, and had to be comforted by everyone in turn.
When I got home, I found that my father had returned without knowing when. The old man didn't beat him for sneaking out to play, which was strange to him. I just remember that that day, the whole family was very happy, and everyone who saw him would say congratulations. As a result, during dinner, the old man suddenly said that he had told his son about a marriage. The eldest daughter of a certain family would be a good wife and mother. Moreover, she has a distinguished background and a high status. At least during the lifetime of the two old people, she will not see the family's revival and will not be looked down upon by anyone.
No one looks down on you! Don’t you think so? He stood up and said angrily that he didn't even eat anymore. His mother said he didn't understand, that kind of contempt was in her heart and silent. Then how can you hear it? Thinking too much? Who is watching us all day long? He was really pissed off and had put up with this kind of self-indulgence from his parents for too many years. It was rare that his parents didn't beat him, they just said that they couldn't hear it, but they could feel it. He was simply going crazy - these people had low self-esteem and were selfish to the core.
"I don't want to get married," he said. "I don't want to marry someone I've never seen or heard of."
"You are still young, what do you know? What dad has arranged for you is the best. Be obedient, this is all for your own good." said the mother.
"I don't love her at all!"
"What do children know about love? You don't need to like her, you just know that she is nice, beautiful, and her family is rich and famous. How cool are you when you go out?" said the father.
"You said I don't understand, why are you -"
"Our Xiao Huan, doesn't he already have a girl he likes? Otherwise, why would he be so reluctant?" said the elder brother.
"Brother? You..."
At this time, he paused and turned
He rolled his eyes and had a plan in mind.
"Well, yes - I have someone I like."
Father and mother looked at each other, and brothers and sisters also looked at each other. He couldn't understand their expressions. After a long time, my mother said:
"This is indeed a good thing. Which girl is so lucky that she can be chosen by our family's treasure? Is she beautiful?"
"Beautiful, I think she's pretty. She's the girl from the tailor shop on South Street."
"That girl... I heard about it. But she is too wild. How can she take care of the family and take good care of you?" said the elder sister.
"I don't like good wives and mothers, I just like her like that!"
Against his will, he actually doesn't like her and only sees her as a younger sister. He kept saying sorry in his heart. But it should be fine. Anyway, she will get on the sedan tomorrow and go to a rich person's house to enjoy her happiness. She needs the rich man more than he does.
The parents nodded, told everyone to continue eating, and stopped talking. Although the meal was suffocatingly quiet, he thought to himself that he didn't know if he could avoid this disaster. Forget it, let's make trouble later, just say that I won't marry anyone but her. When we meet again, he will definitely apologize.
Early the next morning, he practiced swordplay with his master in the courtyard. It was noon after practice. He wiped his sweat and walked into the house. The meal has been prepared and is very rich. But he felt very thirsty and just wanted to drink water, but there was no tea. He asked where the tea was, and his mother said that the tea leaves were not stored properly and had become damp, so she had dried the soup in advance. So he took a sip and found it very fresh and fragrant. So his mother moved a basin of soup directly in front of his eyes. He didn't even bother to eat the food, he just drank enough water to fill his stomach.
In the end, the pelvic floor is two tiny hands.
Although the skin and flesh were cooked to pieces, he saw a ring of stone fingers stuck on it.
He fainted.
As soon as he woke up, he grabbed the servant who delivered the medicine and asked the tailor how he was doing. The servant didn't know. Although he didn't know why, he said he would help him find out. So he didn't eat a grain of rice and waited for his servants to come back after asking about it. His parents still didn't say anything, waiting for the servant to come back and tell him in person that the tailor on South Street had moved away overnight. I heard that my only daughter is seriously ill and I need to seek treatment. It was so early in the morning that no one was even found at the house where she wanted to marry her.
After hearing this, he began to vomit, and the bile came out. Then he started to have a fever, which made him confused, and his head was hot for several days. He vomited again when he woke up, and then he was forced to drink rice paste. He fell asleep again, and vomited again when he woke up.
His mother regrets this, but not for the girl. His mother and father both accused each other of what a bad idea they were talking about. His father was angry because the promised marriage was gone. Still couldn't hide it - the girl's family heard that the child was too weak and put it off. His mother thought she could still get a wife, but if her precious son got sick, she would be in big trouble.
In the chaos, he felt dizzy every time he opened his eyes. No matter it is night or day when I wake up, there is a bright light with flowers in front of me. He was confused by the fever and shouted at the book boy to stop making trouble. When his vision finally became clearer, he caught a glimpse of a small mirror, reflecting the sunlight.
"Give it back to me!" Jun Aoyan snatched the mirror from Bai Ya's hand.
"Stingy." Seeing that Qi Huan woke up, Bai Ya walked away boredly and asked Ao Yan, "You actually have gadgets for women."
"I don't need it, my dad gave it to me." Aoyan put away the mirror and glared at him again, "Don't play with my things."
Qi Huan lay on the ground without getting up and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
So heavy that it would blow away the glory of sixteen years old.
