Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen Prophecy

Hearing the sound of the window opening, Ye Zijun's heart skipped a beat. He quickly put down the animal skin he was sewing, ran to the attic barefoot, and frantically searched for the key to the attic from among a large pile of keys.The keys banged against each other in her hands, making disturbing noises. She managed to find the little silver key, and when she opened the door, the small room in the attic was empty.She rushed into the room, poked her head through the open window, and looked down to see the animal bone pin on her sister's head moving quickly among the bushes. "Sister!" she yelled loudly, "Come back soon!"

My sister turned her head to look at it, and then turned her head away quickly, seeming to move even faster. Ye Zijun scratched his messy hair, walked around the room for a while, and suddenly came back to his senses, lifted his skirt and rushed downstairs, put on the straw sandals, pulled the skirt above his knees with a leather rope, and turned around in the firewood room again. After a while, he took out a transparent crystal bottle and pointed it at the light. There was still more than half of the bright red liquid in the bottle.She thrust the bottle towards her waist and ran out. The thick fragrance from her sister's hair was left in the bushes. Following the direction of the fragrance, Ye Zijun ran out of the bushes, turned up a hill, and then jumped over two small streams. Only then did she see the back of her sister in front of her. .

"Sister!" Ye Zijun shouted out of breath and ran over. My sister stood motionless, as if she didn't hear her cry. "What are you doing?" Ye Zijun put his head in front of his sister and asked. My sister's eyes were as calm as a stone, silently looking at the house not far away. After a few minutes, she seemed to have made up her mind and walked slowly towards the house.Ye Zijun quickly took out the crystal bottle from his waist and handed it to his sister: "Drink it quickly!" As soon as my sister shook her hand, the crystal bottle fell to the ground.Ye Zijun hurriedly picked up the bottle, shook it up and down, and was relieved to find that the bottle was not broken.

"Hi!" My sister yelled towards the house.Ye Zijun felt that something was wrong, he repeatedly waved his hands to his sister to tell her to shut up, at the same time pulled out the cork, and poured the liquid in the bottle towards her mouth. "Bah!" After being fed a big mouthful of liquid, my sister suddenly spit out the liquid in her mouth, as if she had spit out a big mouthful of blood. "Don't stop me." My sister still said in that calm tone. In fact, Ye Zijun couldn't stop her anymore. The few people who walked out of that house were all acquaintances in the village.When they saw Ye Zijun, they all greeted with smiles, but it was her sister who caught their attention first.

"What does Zifeng want to say?" A man frowned and asked. Before Ye Zijun could stop him, Zifeng had already said, "This house is about to collapse." Ye Zijun covered his face with his hands and sighed. "Oh." Those people laughed, and the laughter made Ye Zijun feel hot on his face, but Zifeng didn't seem to notice that they were laughing at him, and the expression on his face didn't change. "Is it going to collapse? Okay, I see," the man who spoke before said with a smile, "What else." "No more." Ye Zifeng said seriously.This time, without waiting for her sister to greet her, she turned around and walked back. Ye Zijun staggered behind her, and people laughed unscrupulously from the other side of the house. a humiliating situation.But my sister still didn't notice all of this, she maintained her unhurried pace, bending down to pick a flower from time to time.

"Sister, why do you always say things that others don't like to hear?" Ye Zijun asked irritably, pulling off a handful of shrub leaves and rubbing them in his hands. "Whether you like it or not, you have to tell the truth." Zifeng said. "What's the truth? What you said never became true. Others regard you as a joke, don't you know?" Ye Zijun thought of all the ugly things her sister said before, especially at several weddings and sacrifices. Everyone was elated, and she suddenly stood up and said that someone would die, a place would collapse, etc., which disappointed everyone, but in fact, none of what she said was true.Because of this, everyone in the village hated her. Although she was the most beautiful girl in the village, no one came to propose marriage to her. Everyone said that she was a vicious girl with a crow's mouth and a crow's heart.Now, she has passed the marriageable age, and her family members are very worried about her, but she doesn't care, she still has a bad temper, and she likes to pick bad words.

To Ye Zijun's words, Zifeng didn't answer, but concentrated on weaving the wreath in his hand, as if there was no more important time in the world than weaving a wreath.Every time he saw her indifferent demeanor, Ye Zijun couldn't help feeling a surge of hatred in his heart, wishing to pour the potion from the bottle directly into her mouth.This potion was specially prepared by the wizard in the village for Zifeng. It is said that after drinking it, no sound can be made for two hours.In order to prevent Zifeng from saying such annoying words, Mom, Dad and Zijun racked their brains, and every time they thought she was going to say something bad, they always tried to trick her into drinking the potion, but she never fell for it. Besides, she didn't have any warning before she was going to say that kind of thing, and no one could figure out her pattern.

The two walked back to their bark house in silence. Zifeng went upstairs to close the door as usual, not talking to anyone, and Zijun sulked downstairs alone. Mom and Dad have gone to see relatives, and will not be back tonight, full of grievances with nowhere to express, Zi Jun had to add firewood to the stove fiercely, let the fire blaze, as if to overthrow the roof.She cooked some white rice, another fish, a plate of meat spiders, and another big pot of soup. After putting all the food on the table, she shouted angrily: "Sister, it's time to eat!" "Here we come." Zifeng's voice came down without any ups and downs.

Hearing this voice, Ye Zijun became even more angry. Before he knew it, his fingers touched the crystal bottle on his waist, and a thought popped up—is the medicine in the crystal bottle effective?Since the wizard brought it, she has never experimented... She involuntarily raised her head and looked upstairs: the door of the attic is still closed, Zifeng is a slow person, and will not come down so soon, if she wants to do something , there is still time... What am I going to do?Her heart was pounding, her mind seemed to be numb, and she pulled the cork off the bottle by accident, and poured a small half of the red liquid into the soup.The red liquid medicine was very eye-catching in the soup. She stirred it several times with a large wooden spoon, and the red color slowly dispersed and could not be seen anymore.She re-plugged the crystal bottle and thrust it into her waist.After doing this, she felt her hands trembling a little, and her heart seemed empty, so she could only wipe the table and stove with a rag to hide her panic.

After Zifeng came down, the two began to eat.As usual, Zifeng first scooped up a large bowl of soup to drink, Zijun was flustered, and several times he was about to say something, but he swallowed it again.Seeing that Zifeng finished drinking a bowl of soup and was about to drink a second bowl, Zijun couldn't help it: "Sister, don't drink so much soup, eat some food." Zifeng was not allowed to say anything, so she grabbed it. After passing the bowl, there was a big bowl full of rice. Just after eating a few mouthfuls, Zijun suddenly felt an unprecedented feeling.It seems that there is a net falling from the sky and covering him, and everything in the world is blocked from this transparent net.The net is gradually tightened, and the excess things in her body are gradually being squeezed out of her body. She feels that she is shrinking, slowly turning into a round sphere and flying into her body—she knows that is the shape she should have originally .Countless colored gases are escaping from the body, and in the end there is nothing left, a heart that is open and open, with no end in sight.She saw that within her heart, some phantoms gradually rose up like smoke and mist, like reflections in water, swaying in a distant place.She recognized the place in the phantom, which is the small river by the village. The little boy Luo Hua carried his toy wooden barrel and walked towards the river, squatting down, scooping up a bucket of water, and was about to go When walking back, he suddenly slipped and fell into the water.Large white water splashes splashed on the water, followed by ripples, and it didn't take long for the calm to return.Suddenly realizing what had happened, she couldn't help opening her mouth and screaming.The moment she opened her mouth, she felt as if she had been submerged in the water, the whole world was in the water, and countless colorful brilliance water poured into her mouth, she was speechless, she just waved her hands, staring openly. Seeing her body swell rapidly, and finally with a bang, she suddenly opened her eyes.

She found herself still sitting at the table with the chopsticks in the air, and the small piece of fish she had just picked up was still steaming.Everything that happened just now seemed to be his own illusion.The elder sister on the opposite table was staring at him half-awake with a pair of confused eyes. "Luo Hua!" My sister was shocked, her eyes cleared up, she pressed her hand on the table, put down the bowl and walked out. Ye Zijun's heart skipped a beat—how could my sister suddenly say Luo Hua's name? "What's wrong with Luo Hua?" She forced herself to ask calmly. "He will be drowned." My sister hurried out, "I have to tell his family, so..." The last two words made a strange hoarse sound, as if iron was being scratched on a stone, and then, Zifeng opened his mouth wide and could no longer speak.What she said made Ye Zijun's face turn pale in an instant, and Zijun didn't notice the abnormal state of his sister, so Zijun asked hastily, "How do you know that he will drown?" Zifeng moved her lips in vain, but she couldn't make a sound. She kept stroking her throat with both hands, and her suspicious eyes swept Zijun back and forth, and finally stopped at Zijun's waist.That gaze seemed to emit a scorching light, which made Zijun feel hot all over. She subconsciously looked down at her waist, saw the red liquid sloshing in the crystal bottle, and then suddenly realized that her sister's medicinal properties had taken effect. She almost forgot about it. She approached her sister in a hurry, and after patting her on the shoulder, she didn't know what to do.Seeing how her sister tried to speak but couldn't say anything, she already regretted her actions.My sister already knew what was going on, and it could be seen from her eyes—it could also be seen from her eyes that she didn't blame herself, which made Zijun feel even more guilty. After a while, she calmed down from this panic and guilt. This was because her sister also suddenly calmed down and stopped struggling to go out.The older sister stared at her and opened her mouth soundlessly towards her. "luo——hua." My sister's lips seemed to be expressing this meaning. "What?" She identified it carefully. "luo—hua." My sister moved her lips slowly and exaggeratedly. What? Falling flowers?mule talk?Zi Jun guessed for a while, and suddenly understood——Luo Hua!My sister wants to talk about Luo Hua! "Luo Hua?" She asked tentatively. My sister stopped talking and nodded vigorously, showing a gratified smile. "What's wrong with Luo Hua?" She knew what her sister meant.The elder sister hopes that she can run to tell Luo Hua's family to prevent Luo Hua from drowning.She also saw the phantom of Luo Hua's drowning at that moment. If it wasn't because of her sister, maybe she would have already run to do what her sister wanted to do by herself.However, since my sister said so, it seemed that it was just an illusion—my sister often said some unlucky things, but what she said was never true. Could it be that my sister, like myself, also saw that kind of phantom?She suddenly realized this, and couldn't help but shudder—how do people in the village call her sister?A girl with a crow's mouth, a crazy girl, a silly elder sister... There are all kinds of ugly words. Is it possible that I am going to become the same person as my sister? She understood what her sister meant, but she could only pretend not to understand.My sister spoke silently, and she understood every word, but she pretended not to understand.Finally, my sister stopped talking, such a smart sister, she was never a silly girl, she was born the smartest girl in the village, now, she can't say a word, just staring at her with a pair of watery eyes Own. staring. Zijun held on for a while, but finally couldn't take it anymore. "Okay. I'll go and see," she said. Ignoring her sister's smile, she rushed out of the house in a hurry. The thorn grass on the road hurt her feet, and she realized that she forgot to put on her shoes.Once she made up her mind to act, she never wanted to stop, and didn't care about going back to put on her shoes. She found two large leaves on the side of the road to wrap her feet, and rushed towards Luo Hua's house like a fly.
