Opening it, there were photos one after another, all of my mother and the boss’s wife.
At that time, my mother had no wrinkles on her face, wearing a white skirt, standing on campus, youthful and energetic.
The boss's wife caressed the girl in the photo album with a nostalgic look on her face: "This is when your mother was in her freshman year. At that time, she was the school beauty and was pursued by many people."
"Then why did she marry my father?"
I have heard a lot of rumors about my mother, but every time I ask about the meeting between my mother and my father, everyone has a tacit agreement to keep silent.
This time was no exception. The landlady looked at me with complicated eyes: "We'll talk about this later. Let Auntie take a good look at you. I didn't expect that my nephew has grown so big."
I can feel that the boss lady, no, now my aunt, doesn’t want to talk about what happened before.
I stayed in the store all night, and the proprietress told me a lot about my mother's past. It wasn't until dawn that she looked out the window tiredly: "Time flies so fast, it's dawn. My child, where are you now?"
"I opened a small clinic in the village."
"You are so talented. Come to the city. Auntie can also give you a sum of money. With your ability, you will have a bigger world here."
I shook my head: "I still have grandma to take care of, and it's a place I'm familiar with. I don't want to leave just yet."
After hearing my words, my aunt looked at me with even more sympathy, hugged me and touched my head: "My poor child."
Auntie's arms are warm and smell like sunshine, much like my mother...
I couldn't help but reach out and hug her back.
Suddenly a surprised voice came from behind: "What are you two doing?"
I looked sideways and found that I didn't know when I was standing at the door during the day, looking at us with a surprised look on my face. Then the surprise on my face turned into anger. I looked at me angrily and turned around to leave.
"Hey, where are you going during the day?"
I glanced at my aunt apologetically, and quickly turned around to chase Bai Tian.
She was walking very fast during the day, and I chased her for a long time before I finally caught up with her: "You ran too fast, what's wrong with you?"
Her almond-shaped eyes widened slightly: "You asked me what's wrong. You and the boss's wife are hugging each other. I didn't notice, Shangguan Rui, that you actually like this type of person."
No matter how stupid I am, I still understand what Bai Tian means. The smile on my face widens uncontrollably, and I just look at her happily.
Tian Tian frowned and looked at me as if I were an idiot: "Why do you smile so disgustingly?"
"I see, you are jealous, aren't you?"
A trace of unnaturalness flashed across her face, and she denied it in embarrassment: "I don't know what you are talking about. I don't care about you anymore, do whatever you want."
After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the hotel.
I quickly caught up with her: "No! Don't misunderstand me. You must have never imagined that the boss lady is actually my aunt!"
Tian Tian's steps suddenly stopped, he frowned, and looked at me in disbelief: "What did you say?"
I patiently repeated it again: "The boss lady is my aunt! My mother's sister!"
Bai Tian showed a clear expression, and his expression became even more awkward: "I didn't expect you to have a rich relative."
"Yeah! I didn't expect that I would find my relatives so quickly!" I became more and more excited as I talked, "I didn't expect that my aunt is so beautiful. To be honest, when I first saw her, I thought she was in her early twenties. Where’s the little girl?”
I walked toward my aunt's cheongsam shop with me.
As soon as I walked in, I heard painful groans coming from inside.
The first reaction was that something happened to my aunt. I looked at each other during the day and ran in quickly.
Sure enough, the aunt was lying on the ground with a face full of pain, rolling around constantly, and bumps appeared one after another on her face. These things seemed to be swimming around her face, which was scary and disgusting.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?"
The aunt covered her face tightly and said with difficulty: "Let's go! Everyone, please leave quickly!"
"It's a Gu insect."
During the day, he took out a black pill from his arms and stuffed it into his aunt's mouth. Then, he cut her unconscious with a knife.
"Why are you still dazed? Get your aunt to the bed quickly."
I nodded and did as I was told during the day.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, checking Auntie's pulse during the day, her frown became more and more intense.
"how's it going?"
"If I guess correctly, it should be Beauty Gu."
I gasped.
I have heard a little bit about this Gu bug in my grandfather’s book collection.
Beauty Gu is a voodoo cultivated from the corpses of more than a hundred women. These women must be full-yin bodies, and must use their limbs, faces, etc., to feed these voodoos.
This is not the scary part, the most terrifying thing is how to cultivate the voodoo worms after they are planted in the body.
Beauty Gu is the most popular voodoo recently, because as long as it resides in a woman's body, it can keep her appearance unchanged. However, if you want these voodoos to be able to move, you have to keep eating carrion.
And it is basically impossible to remove it.
I didn't expect that my aunt's young appearance came from this, and I took a breath of air.
"You also know that these Gu bugs are usually planted voluntarily, and if you have this Gu bug on your body, you can't live more than ten years. Judging from the way your aunt has been sick, it must be at least nine years old."
I spoke, only to realize that my voice couldn't stop trembling: "Is there really no way to solve it?"
Bai Tian was silent for a while, then shook his head: "I don't know, but I can ask my senior brother for you. He has researched on Gu insects and should know a little bit."
"please."
I didn't speak during the day, so I took out my cell phone and walked outside the door to make a call. I filled a basin of water and briefly wiped my aunt's face.
Soon, Bai Tian came back and she shook her head at me: "Sorry."
My heart instantly sank to the bottom. I couldn’t believe that I had finally found a relative, and would I lose it so soon?
My eyes couldn't help but turn red, and I grabbed my aunt's hand, feeling a little sad.
"Xiao Rui."
Auntie's weak voice came from the bed. I quickly wiped my tears and forced a smile: "Auntie, you're awake."
She took a look and closed her eyes: "You should all know this."
"Auntie, why do you grow this kind of poisonous insect?"
"It's all because I was ignorant before. I always felt that the prerequisite for being loved is beauty. Your mother is so beautiful and attracts the attention of all the people around you. Now, it's too late to regret it. Auntie knows that I don't have many days left."
