Chapter 169 What's wrong with waiting for my lover? (2)
Xiong Bufan strolled back to the house. She wanted to see who had beaten her before, leaving her covered in injuries and locked her in a dark, cold house by the water.
As long as you are fast enough, you won't fall off the water while running on it; this is another kind of "lightness skill" – water-skimming.
Outside, you can hear the sound of water and look up to see the stars. Xiong Bufan is lying on the ground, surrounded by a group of ghosts staring at him.
They just witnessed Xiong Bufan's supernatural powers and want him to send them to be reincarnated as well.
Xiong Bufan ruthlessly drove him away, saying, "I'm not a saint. If you want to be reincarnated, either give me money or food."
If you can't do that, then stay away. Don't force me to beat you up when I'm full.
All the ghosts scattered in a panic. Xiong Bufan scoffed, set up an array with the available tools, and lay down inside. This way, he wouldn't be disturbed by the ghosts no matter what he did, and he could receive the memories in peace.
Xiong Bufan shifted into a more comfortable position and lay down, saying to Kongkong, "Kongkong, transfer your memories over."
The original owner lived in the 1930s, a century earlier than the two worlds Xiong Bufan had lived in before. The time was different, and the areas where they lived were also different, thousands of miles apart, so their lives were completely different.
The original owner was a girl waiting for her husband, who was sold here by her own mother. Three silver dollars bought out the girl's life.
The reason she was locked up here today is that the original owner wanted to leave and go home to find her mother, but she was discovered and caught by her husband's family. Her grandfather hung her up and whipped her with a whip dipped in chili water for half an hour, and then she was hung up for an hour before her mother let her down. In order to teach the original owner a lesson, her mother sent her to a drafty room on the roof and locked her up, wanting to completely eliminate her thoughts of escaping.
As a result, the original owner developed a fever and didn't want to stay in this world anymore, so Xiong Bufan unexpectedly took over this mess.
In the original story, the original owner was not discovered until the next morning. Amu carried her out and took her to a clinic, where she was given a lot of medicine before she recovered. The original owner realized who was kind to her, gradually calmed down, and began to adapt to the fact that she had been sold, working alongside them every day.
Not long after, Amu became pregnant, and most of the work fell on the eight-year-old original owner, and life was relatively warm and cozy.
Amu would often hold the original owner's hand and gently ask, "Little Star, do you hope this baby will be a boy or a girl?"
Original owner: "Amu's baby will definitely be a boy."
"Give birth to a son so that Xiaoxing can be her husband. Xiaoxing and he will support each other in the future!"
The original owner nodded heavily and said, "Mother, I will."
Nine months later, Amu gave birth to a baby girl. Grandpa threw the baby into the river without even wrapping her in a cloth. The original owner was whipped again because when Amu was about to give birth, the original owner said, "Boy or girl, it's all good."
Grandpa believed that Amu's inability to have a son was due to the curse of the original owner, so he vented all his anger on the original owner. The original owner also began to blame herself, realizing that she shouldn't have been so sharp-tongued, and that having a son would be the best arrangement.
When Amu woke up and heard that the girl she had given birth to had been drowned, she simply made the original owner kneel on a washboard in front of the wall to think about what she had done wrong. When did it become her place to interfere in Amu's affairs, whether it was a boy or a girl?
Compared to the whip, kneeling on the washboard was not a very severe punishment. Moreover, when Amu heard that the original owner had not eaten, she secretly gave her two rice cakes to eat.
Year after year, Amu gave birth to two more girls, both of whom drowned. Finally, when the original owner was fifteen, Amu gave birth to a boy, but the original owner also became pregnant with her grandfather's child. Amu was furious and hit the original owner, saying that the original owner had wronged her. The original owner could only apologize while crying.
Despite having lived with her child for so many years, after being forced to swallow an abortion pill, Amu still forgave the original owner. The original owner then began to take care of her little husband, changing diapers, putting him to sleep, and so on.
The original owner longed for her little husband to grow up so that they could get married soon and she could give birth to a son, which would complete her mission.
Unfortunately, fate had other plans. Her young husband drowned in the river when he was nine years old. Her grandfather and mother were heartbroken and forced her to marry a rooster. Somehow, it was discovered that she had been pregnant, and she was eventually drowned in a pig cage.
Xiong Bufan sighed and said, "This unlucky child is really unlucky. What is her wish?" Fearing that the original owner's wish was too outrageous, Xiong Bufan added, "I don't want to date or have kids."
Kongkong said sullenly, "I don't pimp."
The original owner's wish was simply to have enough to eat and wear. If given the chance, she wanted you to go back and ask why her mother abandoned her. And also, she wanted you to protect yourself; that was all.
She had gone to great lengths to pull Xiong Bufan out of the dating scene; she must be crazy to let Xiong Bufan get pregnant and have a child.
Xiong Bufan said smugly, "I will definitely protect myself and make sure I have enough to eat and wear."
After looking at the historical background, Kongkong felt that it would be difficult to feed Xiong Bufan unless Xiong Bufan lived by the sea, caught fish when she was hungry, and went to catch fish elsewhere when there were no fish in this place, making the whole sea area her fish farm.
There was still some time before dawn, so Xiong Bufan found a blanket, covered herself with it, and fell fast asleep. She wouldn't do any work that would be done at dawn while it was still dark, because once she woke up, no one could escape her.
"Little Star, wake up, Amu is here."
Xiong Bufan barely opened his eyes and saw a woman in her thirties shaking him violently. Xiong Bufan slapped the woman into the river.
Why disturb her sleep? Are you asking for a beating? Are you looking for death?
"Help! Help!"
Killing is wrong, so Xiong Bufan put away the quilt and went to the riverbank. The river was flowing slowly, and Zhang Xuemei was struggling to swim to the shore. After struggling for a long time, she finally managed to climb ashore.
Xiong Bufan ran over and kicked her into the river.
Zhang Xuemei thrashed about in the water, completely enraged. "Xiaoxing, what are you doing? It's me, Amu!"
"I'm your father."
Kongkong reminded her in real time: "Bufan, this is the original owner's husband's family, and it is indeed the original owner's mother."
"Oh, it's not mine."
As they were talking, Zhang Xuemei climbed back onto the bank, and Xiong Bufan threw her back into the river without any mercy. "Hurry up and catch some fish for me, I want to eat fish."
Zhang Xuemei was a little scared at this moment. "Xiaoxing, what's wrong with you? I'm your mother."
I also brought you some food; I came here to take you home.
This woman was quick-witted and started using gentle tactics, trying to awaken a sliver of conscience in Xiong Bufan. However, she still didn't understand Xiong Bufan at all; he simply didn't have any concept of conscience.
Zhang Xuemei tried to climb ashore twice more, but Xiong Bufan kicked her back down each time without hesitation.
