Chapter 1 Mutation
Chapter 1 Mutation
"Hit her! Hit her!"
"Kill her! Kill her!"
A group of children gathered together and smashed the gravel in their hands at a little girl in front of them.
The little girl struggled, but she scrambled around on the ground like a headless chicken.
The children around looked at her helpless look, and the stones in their hands smashed even more happily.
The stones kept hitting the little girl hard like hailstones, causing bouts of dull pain.She gritted her teeth, trying not to let out a whimper.
Several older children shouted more vigorously:
"Kill her, kill her! Motherless blind!"
"Kill her! Dead blind!"
"My mother said, she is a disaster star!"
"Yes! Calamity star! Kill her!"
A fist-sized stone hit the little girl's head, causing severe pain on her forehead, and she felt a thick liquid slowly flowing down her face, with a strong smell of blood.
A strong sense of dizziness came, and she felt like a rag doll being torn apart and easily trampled on, like dead branches and leaves on the ground.
"Go away! A bunch of little bastards! Get out!"
Daddy's voice came from above the head, and the vague laughter gradually faded away.
A big rough hand caresses her face:
"These little bastards!"
This is Daddy's curse!
Is daddy mad at me?
She seemed to have received some kind of comfort, pain and grievances welled up in her heart, she threw herself into her father's arms and cried loudly:
"Daddy! I'm in so much pain! They hit me! They..."
--Snapped
A slap across the face on the other side.
She immediately stopped her voice and remained silent.
"You know how to cry, you evil star! You are used to crying because you can't see! Isn't it enough to cry your mother to death?"
Dad didn't like her crying the most, and every time she cried, she would be beaten severely.
She said tremblingly: "I'm sorry, Daddy, it's Rou'er who made Daddy think of mother. Rou'er will never cry again! Don't...don't hit me..."
As she spoke, she groped for her father's big hand with her small hand, and finally grasped a corner of the clothes in the darkness. Although she knew that this was another kind of pain, she still couldn't bear to let go and held the corner of the clothes tightly.
"You little disaster star, you have the same virtue as your disaster star mother."
A strong force came, and she was completely overturned.The little hands were clenched too tightly, and a corner of the sleeve was torn off.
"You money-losing catastrophe!"
The thick and tough branches were pulled down like a whip, and every blow seemed to tear her soul apart.
She howled in pain:
"Daddy! Stop beating! Please! Please spare me!"
"You know how to cry! I'll make you cry!"
The strength on the branch increased, but she didn't make another sound.Allowing his body to be torn apart, his consciousness gradually blurred.
When I woke up again, I don't know how long it had been.
Smelling the familiar smell of wormwood, he should have returned to his home.
This house, like hell, has no light or warmth.For so many years, only an old wormwood sachet that my mother sewed for me before my mother died accompanied me.
She was a little thirsty and tried to get up to drink water. As soon as she moved, she felt a huge pain all over her body, and her forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat.She gasped heavily.
There were some small human voices outside the house, which seemed to mention him.
She caught her breath and listened carefully.
"I didn't say, your family Xia Rou, the reputation of this catastrophe has been spread for thousands of miles and eight villages. Who dares to want her?"
"Yes, yes, so I came to beg you, you are Wang Matchmaker, the most capable matchmaker in the county!"
"That's not me bragging. Let me tell you, there is no matchmaker in these ten miles and eight villages that my matchmaker Wang can't do!"
"Yes yes yes, that is that."
Dad, who has always been cruel and vicious, actually has such a low-key and young age? Xia Rou can't believe it.
"Your Xia Rou, although she is pretty, is blind and has a bad reputation. Even if someone wants her, she won't be a good one. You should know that!"
"As long as someone wants it, I don't care where she goes!"
"Hey, with your words, I can feel relieved! The second son of Zhang Erniu in Zhangjia Village next door is not good at thinking. He is almost 30 and no woman is willing. Zhang Erniu and his wife are so anxious. I Let's see your family, Xia Rou, go there first, be a child bride-in-law for a few years, and remarry after a few years, if you are a matchmaker, it will be done!"
"Okay, okay, thank you, Matchmaker Wang!"
Xia Rou just felt dizzy, and the blood in her whole body seemed to be frozen.
I was only eight years old, and my father couldn't wait to send me out.
I once heard some people in the village mention the child bride-in-law. It was after everyone picked up a corpse in the river.Xia Rou happened to be washing socks for her father by the river, and heard bits and pieces of words like "child bride", "poor" and "knocked everyone to death".Although not very clear, but also know that this may be a dead end.
Daddy, is this really my daddy?
Xia Rou was lying on the bed, and when she heard the sound of her father entering the door, her nerves tensed up.
Father's footsteps came straight to this room.
"Rou'er, are you awake?"
It was the first time that Xia Rou heard her father care about her so tenderly, but now she felt that it was a demon speaking eeriely.She trembled in her heart, and her whole body couldn't help shaking slightly.
She gritted her teeth and tried to calm herself down, but her body trembled uncontrollably.
"Could it be hard to beat?"
"This money-losing product has to be caught and taken medicine for her."
After speaking, a series of footsteps walked outside the door.
Xia Rou lay on the bed, and after a while, she was sure that her father had gone away before she dared to breathe.
She struggled to get up from the bed, every small movement would affect the wound on her body, and the pain was unbearable.But she knew that once her father came back, there was only a dead end waiting for her.
She struggled to walk up the back hill from her home, her heart was anxious and frightened, her footsteps became more vacant, and she couldn't even tell the direction clearly.
Stumbling all the way, she didn't know where she went or how long she walked.
Suddenly, a gloomy voice sounded from behind:
"Rou'er, where are you going? Go home with Daddy."
It was as if the voice of a demon sounded, and all the strength in Xia Rou's body was taken away at once.
She slumped on the ground, trembling all over: "No...don't...don't..."
"Be good~be obedient~go home with daddy."
The terrifying voice of her father's yin and yang was getting closer and closer to her, and she gasped for breath, feeling that she was about to suffocate.
"Help!"
She finally yelled out this sentence.
"Do you think anyone will hear it? Hahahaha, go back with daddy, daddy has taken the medicine for you, and will send you out tomorrow!"
The feeling of suffocation became stronger and stronger. In the endless darkness, she didn't know where to go, and she didn't know who it was. She mustered all her strength and shouted again:
"Help me! Whoever it is, save me! Help me!"
Suddenly, in the darkness, in the remote depths, it seemed that something really heard her call, and slowly came to her side from the darkness.
"It was you who summoned me?" It seemed to be a voice from ancient times, singing slowly in my mind.
"Yes!" Xia Rou couldn't see anything, but she wasn't afraid at all. There was nothing more frightening than that father with a human face and a beast heart.
"what's your name?"
"Xia Rou."
"Soft? - good."
"What do you want me to do?"
"I want...I want...I want them all to die!" Xiarou shouted hysterically.
"—Very good. If I promise you, you have to do one thing for me."
"Okay, don't say one thing, I will agree to ten or one hundred!"
"—Very good! As you wish."
A hard object fell into Xia Rou's hands.Xia Rou flusteredly touched it with her palm, like a short iron rod with both ends sharpened.
She held the iron rod tightly in her hand, shaking like chaff all over her body.
"Rou'er, come on, go home with Dad."
Daddy's frightening voice sounded above Xia Rou's head, and a rough hand stroked her face.The familiar touch is extremely disgusting at this moment, Xia Rou feels that her five internal organs are twisted together, and she can no longer bear the slightest pressure.But thinking of the dark days of the past eight years, she gritted her teeth and shouted with all her strength:
"I won't go back! I'll never go back to that house again!"
The iron rod in his hand stabbed upwards forcefully, as easily as tearing a piece of paper, the iron rod pierced through his father's abdomen, and the sticky blood fell on Xia Rou's face drop by drop.Then there was the sound of something heavy falling to the ground, and then there was silence.
"Ah!—ah!—"
Like a rubber band that was pressed to the limit was loosened, Xia Rou cried out in a frenzied way.The cries echoed on the mountain, like ghosts walking at night.
"You throw the magic weapon in your hand into the water source, and the magic weapon will help you kill everyone."
"Okay, kill them all... kill them all..."
Xia Rou held the iron rod in a trance, groped and got up and walked forward.After walking a few steps, suddenly his feet were empty, and the next moment he fell into the river.
"Help—help—"
Before she could shout a few times, Xia Rou's small figure was completely swallowed by the river.In an instant, water waves as black as ink rose in the water, and in the blink of an eye, clarity and calm were restored.
