Chapter 293 How can life have so many smooth sailings and good luck
"Now that you've written it down, it's just a useless thing. Keeping it will only bring trouble to others. Remember, unless you have a disciple in the future, the content inside must not be taught to anyone!"
Old Hao's hoarse voice came from the door again.
As his words fell, the "Golden Mirror Treasure Book" that had been placed at the door suddenly burst into flames, and in an instant there was only a pile of ashes left.
Then a gust of wind came from nowhere and blew the ashes everywhere, like black butterflies flying all over the sky.
The chickens that were trembling while looking at Sean suddenly forgot to be afraid of him anymore, and jumped up one by one, scrambling to swallow all the black butterflies into their stomachs.
After a while, not even the ashes of the "Golden Mirror Treasure Mirror" could be found in the entire courtyard.
I looked at everything happening in front of me, and then I realized in hindsight what a big gift Lao Hao had given me.
There was no sound from the cabin. I stood at the door, bowed deeply toward the door, and then left the backyard with Sean.
Back at the villa, Mrs. Chen had already prepared a pot of raw beef. She brought it up and said, "Young madam, this, this is the fresh beef that was just prepared."
As she spoke, her hands trembled slightly, her eyes wandered, and she glanced at Sean at my feet.
"Sister-in-law Chen, what happened? Why are you panicking?" I glanced at the beef in Mrs. Chen's hand and looked into her eyes and asked.
"No, no!" Mrs. Chen tried her best to force out a stiff smile.
"Oh!" I responded lightly, took the basin from her hand, looked at it, put it on the ground, glanced at Sean and said, "Eat it!"
Sean hummed twice and walked slowly towards the basin.
"Young Madam, I'm going to the kitchen to make lunch!" Mrs. Chen seemed relieved when she saw this, and turned around and entered the kitchen.
I turned to look at Sean and saw him lowering his head and sniffing the beef in the basin.
Just as he was about to walk over to stop him, Sean took two steps back with disgust in his eyes and growled twice toward the kitchen door.
I don’t know whether it was because he ate a big rooster from Lao Hao and he wasn’t hungry at all, or whether he really smelled something wrong with the beef.
"If you don't want to eat, let's go up!" I patted Sean's head happily, turned and shouted in the direction of the kitchen: "Sister-in-law Chen, there is no need to call us out to eat today."
"Young Madam, you can't just eat one meal a day. I made a stew specially for you..." Mrs. Chen walked out again with wet hands.
I waved my hand towards her to stop her from continuing, with a sullen face, not hiding the disappointment in my eyes at all.
Mrs. Chen's eyes met mine, which made her tremble.
She subconsciously turned her head and glanced at the untouched pot of raw beef on the ground, and then glanced at Sean. Her face instantly turned pale, she looked at me, and her lips moved as she said, "Young mistress, I——"
I looked at her coldly and said nothing, while Sean sat on the ground at my feet and growled at her with hostility.
Mrs. Chen finally lowered her head and stopped looking at me. Her hands nervously grasped the lace on her apron.
At this moment, I suddenly felt sorry for Mrs. Chen.
She is a woman who believes in Buddhism, but she has to kill an innocent life with poison, which is really difficult for her.
So I guessed at a glance that there was something wrong with that pot of beef.
Maybe it's because of money, maybe it's because of his son.
But no matter what the reason is, I don't sympathize with her.
Maybe she was originally a kind-hearted woman who had never done any bad things, but the moment she decided to give up her freedom in exchange for a high salary, it was already destined that she would one day sell her soul and beliefs for the same goals and reasons.
"Sean, let's go upstairs." After a long time, I looked away from Mrs. Chen's face and led Sean towards the stairs.
I went straight to the second floor and entered the bedroom, sat cross-legged on the bed and continued practicing Qi.
The day passed quickly, and when night began to fall slowly, the rain that had been brewing all day finally fell.
Strips of scarlet lightning accompanied by thunder pierced the darkness of the sky, as if they had been holding their breath for a long time and wanted to tear the whole world into pieces.
The heavy rain fell like beans, and the sky and the earth became a crackling noise.
I stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the wildly dancing flowers and trees in the garden that were twisted and blown by the wind and rain. Inexplicably, the twisted face of my mother that I saw before fainting appeared in front of my eyes. I couldn't help feeling sad in my heart, and tears finally burst out.
For so many days, I have tried not to think about that scene in the hospital, or that I have fallen into this desperate situation because of my extravagant hope for a family relationship that cannot be mine.
But on this day, the woman I called my mother brought me into this world. The scene she did to me that day has become the final impression of her.
Just like I can never erase the blood of Li Jianguo and Zhang Cuifen flowing in my veins, they have asked for and asked for me over the years without any emotion, and they even sold me like a commodity regardless of my life or death.
I can't erase everything.
I always thought that they were my parents, the people closest to me in terms of blood. Unexpectedly, in the end, it was the people I considered the closest to me who personally pushed me into the fire pit.
The love between parents and children is finally broken.
If they gave me my initial life, then up to now, my filial piety as a daughter that I desperately wanted to do can be considered fulfilled. From now on, to them, my daughter is considered dead.
Maybe they thought I was dead the moment they decided to sell me to Qi Yue.
Sean lay quietly at my feet, looking up at me. When he saw me crying, he gently rubbed his head against my leg, humming as if to comfort me.
I squatted down, rubbed Sean's furry head, and whispered with tears: "Sean, fortunately I still have you!"
When these words came out, I was suddenly stunned. Xia Xiaobei had also said this to me before.
At that time, when I heard what Xia Xiaobei said, I thought she was too dependent, so I talked to her a lot.
Now it seems that it is not Xia Xiaobei who is too dependent, but myself.
I used to rely on my fourth uncle and grandma. When I was in school, I gradually got used to relying on Gu Xiwen. Then something happened to Gu Xiwen, and I began to rely on Coffin Chen and Coffin Xiaohui again. Later, when I arrived in Jiangzhou, I relied on Xiao Han.
When none of them were with me, my self-righteous family affection that I was unwilling to let go of caused me to fall into the current desperate situation.
At this moment, I habitually began to rely on Sean who was by my side.
Thinking of this, I only felt my face getting hot, and fine beads of sweat began to ooze out of my forehead.
It turns out that there are so many smooth sailings and good luck in life, but there are always people carrying the burden for me.
If it weren't for my fourth uncle and grandma, I would have starved to death in the corner of my mother's bed; if it weren't for Gu Xiwen, I would have died at the hands of his master, Mr. Yan; if it weren't for Coffin Chen and Coffin Xiaohui, I would have died long ago
I went to Shouning Village; if it weren't for Xiao Han, I would have been used by Qi Yue long ago, and maybe I have forgotten who I am now.
By the way, there is also the man who has been appearing in my dreams since I was fourteen years old. To be precise, he should be the Lu Jinnan I have been dreaming about recently, who I later met in Quelong Village.
Lu Xiaohong.
Although I don't know the connection between them, judging from the auras emanating from them, I can be absolutely sure that they are the same person.
If it weren't for him, I would have died in the ancient tomb in Jiming Mountain, or I would have been trapped in Quelong Village forever with Xia Xiaobei.
I once thought that I had nothing because I lacked the love and affection of my parents since I was a child. Now I realize that I actually have a lot.
And they, including Sean, are all very strong, but I have always been hiding behind them and never grown up.
I gently rubbed Sean's head and vowed secretly in my heart that from today on, I, Hu Ling, will work hard to become stronger and never let Sean get hurt trying to protect me. This chapter has been completed!
