Chapter 35 Should I
When I heard the woman's first curse, "little hooligan," I knew who it was. After being kicked a few times, I felt indescribably comfortable. These three words were what I dreamed of hearing. The joy that was extinguished yesterday was rekindled today. I lowered my head and let her kick and curse me without saying a word.
As the commotion started, all the fortune tellers came over to watch. This made Cheng Guaizi even more proud. He sighed and said, "Alas, young people nowadays, they just tell fortunes, but why do they learn to act like hooligans? People's hearts are really not as good as they used to be, and the world is going downhill..."
The fat boy didn't have time to argue with the old man, and hurriedly stood up to stop the fight: "Hey, isn't this Miss Lin Yuchen from yesterday? Let's talk properly, don't mess up the stall. Look, there are so many people watching, it's embarrassing for us, and it's also embarrassing for you, isn't it?"
"What's the point of caring about your status when dealing with such a little hooligan?" Lin Yuxi kicked me a few times, but seeing that he didn't dodge or fight back, he felt too embarrassed to kick me again, so he bent down and grabbed the fat man's spread and started to tear it. The fortune-telling cards and bamboo tubes for drawing lots were scattered all over the floor.
"Hey, that's mine, I didn't provoke you..." Xiaopang said while trying to snatch the cloth from her.
At this time, Cheng Guaizi added: "Alas, you two little hooligans, what can I say about you, you have ruined a good girl's family..."
When Lin Yuxi heard this, she threw Xiao Pang aside with all her strength. She had practiced Kung Fu, so Xiao Pang was no match for her. She threw the cloth at Cheng Guaizi's head, put her hands on her hips and cursed, "Old rascal, I saw you harming a woman yesterday, and you still have the nerve to talk about others here?"
Cheng Guaizi's attempt to add insult to injury failed, and he ended up getting all stinky and ran away with his stall with a red face. Lin Yuxi turned around and started to tease me again, twisting my ear and saying, "You're done if you don't say anything? Come on, follow me!" He pulled me off the curb and walked along the small street amidst the pointing and talking of the crowd.
Xiao Pang chased after me and tried to stop us. I winked at him secretly, and he understood. He ran back to pick up our stalls and ran after us. I walked forward with her ears twisted. I thought to myself, this girl shouldn't have such a crazy temper. Why is she so angry today? But I just didn't say anything. I wanted to see how she would continue this play.
The fat boy ran over breathlessly, holding two stalls, and said, "Girl, if you don't let go, I'll break his ears."
Lin Yuxi suddenly burst out laughing, let go of my ear and said, "I've never been so crazy before, today is really fun!"
Xiaopang was stunned for a moment. Was she pretending to be crazy?
I rubbed my painful ear and said angrily, "You were always this crazy. Why are you pretending to be such a fool?"
"Bah! Why was I crazy before? When have you ever seen me crazy?" Lin Yuxi took off his sunglasses and glared at me fiercely .
I snorted and said, "I've seen it with both eyes. Why didn't you let go of me when you held me so tightly in the river..."
Before she could finish her words, her ears were grabbed again. Lin Yuxi gritted her teeth and said, "Don't mention the past again, or I will cut off... your ears !"
Xiao Pang then realized that we really knew each other. He smiled and leaned over to ask, "You two were very familiar with each other, right?"
"What's it got to do with you? Go away." Lin Yuxi let go of my ear and gave the boy a fierce look. "Little rascal, where were you doing yesterday? I couldn't find you even after looking for you for a whole day?"
I thought to myself that I was joking when I pretended not to know you yesterday. Later, I came to see you again. Although I was very happy in my heart, I looked very calm. I straightened my back and said, "I was just afraid that you would come to me to apologize for the slap in the face yesterday, so I didn't give you this opportunity and let you feel guilty."
These words made Lin Yuxi laugh: "Little hooligan, you are getting more and more funny now. I really didn't want to see you again yesterday. But later I felt that the matter of the infant spirit was too serious, so I wanted to discuss it with you, but I didn't find you. Xiaojing had another accident at night..."
Before she finished speaking, Xiaopang was anxious: "What's wrong with Xiaojing?"
Lin Yuxi frowned and said, "The little hooligan was right. The baby spirit is really hard to deal with. Yesterday, I fed Xiaojing talisman water and burned two talismans to exorcise evil spirits. She seemed to be fine, but when I went to see her at night, she had just hanged herself on the beam. If she had been a step later, she would have been hanged to death. Later, we took her to my house, but I was also possessed by evil spirits. I was confused and pushed my head into the toilet!"
Xiaopang couldn't help but interrupt and laughed, "Don't you know magic? How did you stick your head in the toilet?"
This question was really rude, and I couldn't help but laugh. Lin Yuxi's eyes widened with anger, and she twisted my ear and scolded me, "You little rascal, you're still laughing. If you hadn't guessed everything, would I have made such a fool of myself? Tell me, should I kick your stall, beat you and scold you today?"
I almost fainted. What kind of logic is this? What does your being possessed have to do with my guessing the reason? But she was pulling my ears right now, so I better keep quiet.
But the fat guy replied, "It's your fault!" I was almost mad to death.
This kid is good at flattering people, and his timing of answering the question is very good, which makes Lin Yuxi very satisfied. Let go of my ear and said, "Help me find a way to deal with the infant spirit as soon as possible, otherwise how can I live in the future?" As the girl said this, her face turned sad again.
I nodded. I told Xiaopang yesterday that I didn't care because I was in a bad mood and said it out of anger. In fact, how could I stand by and watch when encountering such a thing? I told her that if she wanted to deal with the infant spirit, she must first go to Zhou Sijing's house and get the so-called statue of the child god, and then start with it.
Lin Yuxi immediately stopped a taxi, and the three of us got in the car and drove to Zhou Sijing's house. When Xiaojing was taken away last night, she was the one who locked the door, and the key was still in her hand . On the way, although I really wanted to ask her why she left without saying goodbye, and whether there was a pattern on her chest, I finally held back in front of the driver and Xiaopang. However, I didn't let go of the man in white, and asked her who he was and how she had been doing in the past three years?
After hearing my question, the girl seemed to recall the past three years ago, and her face became extremely calm. She told me that three years ago, she returned home alone, removed all the corpse poison, sold Lei Xueting's house, and ran to Xiling City to seek refuge with her boyfriend. His name is Su Chengda, and his family runs a company and is very rich. They were classmates in high school. At that time, Su Chengda lived in the same city as her. Later, his family moved to Xiling for business.
They had been in love since high school, and although they were separated, they kept in touch. At that time, she was physically and mentally traumatized and wanted to find a shoulder to lean on, so she thought of him. After coming here, she didn't want to rely on her boyfriend for life, so she opened a studio by herself. The business was so-so, but she lived a pretty good life.
The more I listened, the more I felt bad. I thought, you want to find a shoulder, I have two here, you can lean on them, but you still chose to leave without saying goodbye. Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a little ridiculous. You are a little hooligan in the mountain village. You just spent two days with someone through thick and thin. How can this be compared to your first love in high school? There were two classmates in our junior high school who were in love with each other. Later, I heard that their families did not agree and they eloped.
Although three years have passed, Lin Yuxi and I are still like good friends, but we are still friends after all. Perhaps it is more appropriate to define us as comrades-in-arms, and we will not exceed or break through this relationship. At most, in her heart, I am like a big brother who can protect her, but there is nothing else.
In fact, I should be satisfied. Being able to see her again in my lifetime is a wish come true.
