An unbearable sharp pain swayed from my face, my vision went black, and the whole world was spinning.
Just when I was about to fall to the ground, a pair of strong hands supported me.
Cao Dayong stood behind me at some point and helped me back to the ground in time.
I leaned against the doorpost, my eyes were so painful that stars were popping up in my eyes. Before I could recover, a stream of heat flowed from my nose.
"Wen Xin, you're bleeding..." Cao Dayong quickly took out two pieces of paper and stuffed them into my palm.
I was stunned for two seconds, until bright red nosebleeds dripped to the ground. I shuddered and hurriedly pressed my nose with paper.
Fortunately, this is a real nose and I haven't had any surgery. Otherwise, my nose would have been destroyed by his elbow.
Zhang Wenbin's previous fierceness was gone, and he apologized to me nervously and guiltily: "I'm sorry, girl, I didn't mean it..."
He started beating me to bleed. At worst, he said he had no idea, but at worst, I could call the police to arrest him.
If this had happened to someone else, I would have called the police immediately, and then went to the hospital to assess the injury. Even if I didn't sue and go to jail, I would still have to pay for medical expenses and mental damage.
But he was my uncle's friend and the host of today's 100-day banquet. It seemed like it was an unintentional mistake on his part, so I didn't care too much about him.
"Mr. Zhang, your family is having a treat today, why did you go so far as to make a fuss?" I asked in a sullen voice.
Zhang Wenbin glared at the little beggar at the foot of the steps angrily: "Ask her! I kindly gave her a bite to eat, but she actually cursed my son..."
I turned my head and looked at this little girl with rags and white hair.
Her name is Ahua, and she appeared in this neighborhood a year ago, living by picking up garbage and begging for food.
The reason why his whole body is white and even his hair is silvery white is because he has albinism!
Seeing how pitiful she was, I bought her several box lunches out of my own pocket. Later, when Wu Yingxue saw her, she told me not to mess with this Ah Hua. She had a brain problem and would get nervous from time to time, which might hurt me.
I didn't dare to have too much contact with it, so I put the lunch box on a stool in the back alley of the hotel, and Ahua would come and pick it up every day.
I was so busy today that I forgot to bring food to Ahua. Maybe it was because she was hungry that she came to the store looking for food.
This girl is usually taciturn and seems to be mute. Today, for some reason, she suddenly spoke to Zhang Wenbin and told Zhang Wenbin that his son would not survive more than a hundred days, but would not reach one year old. He was destined to not be able to eat three dishes for the rest of his life!
When I heard this, my spine went cold, and I even vaguely felt in my heart that Ahua was not unjustly beaten!
In our countryside, it is the most vicious curse to say that a person cannot eat three dishes in his lifetime.
These three dishes are: the full moon dish when you are born, the wedding dish when you get married, and the tribute dish when you hold a memorial ceremony.
This means that not only did this person die young, but he also had no descendants to pay tribute to him.
Don't talk about Zhang Wenbin, if I hear someone say this to me, I will roll up my sleeves and do it!
Zhang Wenbin was quite polite and didn't really take action.
I heard from Sister Xiaoxue that Zhang Wenbin had a son in middle age, and his wife did countless in vitro fertilization before she became pregnant with the child.
During the pregnancy, his wife's vagina became red, and the doctor asked her to stay in bed to preserve the fetus. She didn't dare to get out of bed for several months, and she stayed there until she gave birth.
This couple went through a lot of hardships and gave birth to a precious son, but at the 100-day banquet, someone cursed the child with a short life and was unable to eat three courses. Who could bear this?
I grabbed a piece of paper, twisted it into a small strip, and stuffed it into my nostril: "Ahua, this is your fault. You want to eat, but the guests also gave it to you, how can you say that What about such words?"
Ahua stood there, her body like a pendulum, swaying slightly back and forth. Under her messy hair, a pair of eyes looked at me. The large blue whites of her eyes made her eyes very small, and she looked quite penetrating. of.
"I'm not talking nonsense..." Ahua raised her hand quietly and pointed at Zhang Wenbin: "He shouldn't have children..."
Hearing this, I wanted to fly down and cover her mouth.
But unexpectedly, Zhang Wenbin was not furious, but frightened... He stared at Ahua with fear on his face, as if he was looking at a very scary monster.
Seeing his appearance, I knew very well that Ahua was right.
"The evil obstacles on his body are too heavy. If he owes someone something and has not paid it back, that person will take away his child's life to make compensation..." Ahua said a lot in one breath, which made us stunned for a while.
"You...who are you?" Zhang Wenbin was so frightened that his lips were trembling, and the way he looked at her gradually became different.
Ahua tilted her head, but did not mention her identity at all.
Zhang Wenbin swallowed, lowered his voice and stepped forward: "You...what you just said is true?"
Ahua nodded stiffly: "Really! I never tell lies."
Zhang Wenbin immediately became unsteady, and his face, which was originally red, was now darker than the bottom of a pot.
"Then what should I do? Master, do you have any idea?" Zhang Wenbin addressed her from a beggar to a master. His attitude was extremely respectful, and he turned against her faster than flipping through a book.
"I can only read, not understand, but..." Ahua tilted her head towards me and rolled her eyes: "But she can solve it."
I was originally standing nearby to watch the fun, but suddenly I was called by Ahua, and I was still a little confused.
"Ah... me?" I stuttered, a little caught off guard.
Ahua nodded slowly: "Don't you specialize in treating causal diseases, karmic diseases, and ghost and god diseases?"
Fuck!
I couldn't help but cursed secretly in my heart, maybe Ah Hua installed a surveillance camera on me!
I just made the decision two days ago and haven't mentioned it to anyone yet. How did Ahua know about it?
The more I thought about it, the more frightened I felt. Being stared at by her dead fish eyes made me feel uncomfortable all over.
If I had doubts about her words before, now I am convinced and shocked.
Could it be that she could really see something?
When Zhang Wenbin heard this, he looked at me with bright eyes: "Girl, what is your name?"
"Wen Xin, Yang Jun, the owner of Hongyuan Restaurant, is my uncle." I told him that I had indeed learned to read rice and could solve these diseases for people, but the premise was that I had to see if he was worth helping.
How could Zhang Wenbin understand the second half of my sentence? Knowing that I could read rice and help his son, he immediately added me on WeChat and would visit him in person tomorrow after the 100-day banquet was held.
I was so confused that I actually received a client - a client recommended to me by Ahua, and successfully resolved my workplace crisis.
While Zhang Wenbin went to greet the guests, I walked up to Ahua with a sullen face: "Who are you and what do you want to do?"
Half of Ahua's big, dull eyes were exposed from her silver hair, staring blankly at my nose...
No, rather, staring at the blood leaching from it.
She gulped and took a sip at me: "Your blood... smells so good..."
