Precognition
Her behavior was too obvious, and the surrounding students were constantly attracted to her. However, they all agreed that Xu Xueba would not play around with that little girl, after all, they were classmates.
But things are often unexpected. Under everyone's attention, Xu Hongqi spoke up, "No, didn't you get 118 points in Chinese? How could there be any problem with speaking with such a high score?"
Xu Nian sincerely felt that he was even more mean than herself. She covered her mouth and acted shy, glancing at the people around her in a pretentious manner. She said honestly, "Brother, you're such a jerk! You've hurt classmate Liu again!"
After saying that, he seemed to be afraid of being beaten, so he took the opportunity to find two friends who were also watching the fun outside, pulled them together and ran out quickly.
After this incident, Xu Nian was proud that he had vented Xu Hongqi's anger and was waiting to be praised, but in the end he didn't see him for two weeks.
But it's not true to say there's no connection at all. He even knew to ask her brother to bring her his own homework. Xu Nian was very...
But at first she thought that Xu Hongqi was busy, so he was delayed. But this happened for three consecutive weeks, and Xu Nian began to feel uneasy.
He had never acted like this before, and this time it was too abnormal, which made her very nervous. She asked Xu Fengkai about it the second week, but he didn't know anything about it. The most he said was that he left home as soon as school was over.
The management of No. 1 Middle School is semi-closed, and students are not allowed to leave the school frequently unless necessary. But according to Xu Fengkai, Xu Hongqi left the school with the teacher's consent.
She wanted to understand, but her abilities and rights were limited, and she had no good solutions. When a person is really at a loss, they basically just give up.
During this period, Xu Nian went to the movies with two good friends on the weekend and wrote a few film reviews. She likes to write this kind of thing, especially after discussing with friends, she will be full of inspiration.
Every time she writes a new film review, she thinks of the manuscript she submitted at the end of September, which has not been responded to yet. Although transportation is not so developed now, it has been almost a month. It can't be so slow that she doesn't dare to submit it again.
One of the most obvious signs of the passage of time is climate change, which makes the four seasons distinct.
Xu Nian had chosen a bed near the window for fresh air, but now all he could feel was a rustling breeze blowing towards him.
In an era without pollution, normal climate is not acceptable. Xu Nian has recently found it increasingly difficult to wake up in the morning. After being woken up by Liu Xi, she somehow falls asleep again. So recently she has been getting up in a hurry and has given up going to the cafeteria for breakfast.
On the last Saturday of October, the school took two days off at the end of the month as usual to make it convenient for students who live far away to go home and rest.
Xu Nian and Xu Fengkai, the two darlings of the Xu family, have always been spoiled. Xu Fengcheng, a mere worker, was ordered to take them home together.
Xu Fengcheng came to the school gate and saw only the two of them. He asked Xu Nian with some confusion, "Where is Hongqi? Why are there only the two of you?"
Xu Nian thought it would be difficult to travel today. She didn't know what kind of wind was blowing, but it made her feel like there were drafts everywhere. The scary thing was that it was still two days before November.
She clutched her collar tightly, revealing her pale face as she said, "Don't ask me, I haven't seen him for at least a month."
He signaled Xu Fengkai with his eyes, and the person receiving the signal honestly said what he had said countless times, "Brother, Hongqi has something to do. He said he might not be back this month?"
Xu Fengcheng put his hands on his hips and said in a somewhat showy manner, "If he doesn't go back, where will he go?"
Xu Nian expected Xu Fengkai's classic line "I don't know".
"Brother, I don't know."
Come on, exactly the same.
After a long journey home, Xu Nian didn't bring back anything this time. The main reason was that she didn't have enough paper, so she asked her brother to buy some. Besides that, she also had to buy basic toiletries. But... she had no money, otherwise she couldn't always think about submitting the manuscript.
When they arrived at the village entrance, the two groups of three went back to their homes. Xu Nian and Xu Fengcheng were quite surprised when they entered their homes. They didn't expect that their families were all at home at this time.
Xu Nian called out "Mom," and then said bluntly, "Dad, you didn't go to work today. Don't you want to earn money?"
Mr. Xu was originally talking to his two sons. When he heard the shouts, he saw that his two children had returned. Mother Xu saw them before him and was tapping her daughter's fontanelle, saying that she was disrespectful.
Then he frowned and said, "You don't eat at school, how come you've lost so much weight?"
Xu Nian didn't feel anything. She had indeed not eaten breakfast many times recently, but she had eaten lunch and dinner normally. She didn't feel much difference.
"No way, I just skipped a few breakfasts, is this how it works?" As he said this, he pinched his face. Oh my, he could hardly hold the flesh anymore.
Father Xu and his men had just won a battle, so they were full of energy. Seeing their son and daughter was even happier. He looked at Mother Xu and said, "I see Nian Nian has grown taller. I guess she's thinner because she's grown taller. Let's cook some eggs later. Everyone's tired today, so it's a good time to replenish their bodies.
Seeing that her family was so happy, Xu's mother wanted to say that the eggs were flat and white, so she could just give some to the kids, and why not stew some more for the whole family? But now she couldn't bring herself to say it.
Xu Nian walked to the hallway and sat with his father and brothers. "What were you talking about? I don't see you all often today. I can see you all here as soon as I get home."
Seeing that his sister wanted to hear his explanation, Brother Xu gave a concise explanation. "The brigade next door secretly changed the water channel to grab water for irrigation. Our two brigades had a fight, and we won. The captain rewarded us and let us go home to rest."
Speaking of this, Xu Fengcheng became excited, "Tsk, I wasn't there at the time, if I was there I would have killed them in a heartbeat.
"I've been annoyed by the people in their team for a long time. They're always using shady tactics, thinking no one knows. We've told the captain about this countless times, but he's been keeping silent for fear of getting in trouble. It's rare that he's showing such courage today."
Men seemed to be born to like talking about these things. Xu Nian found it very boring and didn't plan to stay with them and her son anymore. She was ready to become a mama's girl.
She saw Xu's mother just enter the house and didn't know what she was doing. Xu Nian followed her in. When she entered, she saw her mother rummaging through clothes and cabinets looking for something. When she heard her enter the room, she took the time to glance at her.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Lu Mei muttered to herself, "Why can't I find it? I looked for it in February."
Seeing her mother mumbling something, Xu Nian asked again, "What are you doing, Mom?"
Lu Mei's body was almost sinking into the big brown wooden box. Fortunately, it seemed that she finally found what she wanted. She stretched out her hand and pulled out a green jacket.
It seemed like this had taken its toll on her. Lu Mei sat by the bed, took a breath, and then said to her daughter, "You must be cold. I saw you shrinking your neck the moment you walked in."
"Nuo, you always wanted to keep it for yourself during the New Year, so keep it now. Take good care of it when you wear it, and you can wear it for a long time."
Xu Nian had not come at that time, so she had no impression of it at all. However, from Suasipajian's words, she seemed to understand that these should be Xu Nian's new clothes for the New Year. Now her mother was afraid that she would be cold, or maybe she felt that she had grown up and wanted her to dress better when studying outside, so she let her take the new clothes herself.
Parents love their children, and they always keep it in their hearts. Xu Nian had an indescribable feeling in her heart, but her heart was warm. She followed Lu Mei to sit on the bed, and twisted her arm around her...
After she happily took the clothes back to her room, she followed her mother's instructions, took out the thick clothes from the closet and put them on, folded the new clothes, and waited for school to start.
I got up too early this morning and was dazzled by the sunlight. Lying on the bedding exposed to the sun, Xu Nian felt drowsy.
But this sleep was extremely restless.
"How much do you want to sell this girl for?" a man in his fifties asked.
There was also a man opposite, but he was younger, probably around thirty years old at most. He made an eight sign with his fingers to the man who had just asked the question.
The old man shook his head. "This is too expensive. We'll have to save for eighty years. Please lower the price."
The young and strong man didn't seem to insist on a firm price, and gestured to seven.
This time the old man seemed embarrassed to say it, but he wanted it very much. He said as if he had made up his mind, "Fifty. If you agree to fifty, I will buy it. I mainly want to find a wife for my grandson to have children."
These words seemed to make the other person laugh, and he stretched out his hand to slap someone. Xu Nian thought he was going to hit someone, and his heart ached for the old man, thinking that if he was slapped, it would definitely hurt a lot.
She looked at the palm again in a trance, and found that the young man had only four fingers on his palm, no little finger. The little finger was cut off from the base of the palm, leaving a smooth scar.
When Xu Nian saw this, he felt a little scared, but he seemed unable to affect the outside world, and had a feeling of being detached from them. It was not until the young man kicked him down with his foot and Xu Nian felt a particularly sharp pain in his back that he realized that the person who kicked him might be her.
At this moment, she felt as if her five senses had returned to normal. She could not see her entire appearance clearly, as if it were a mosaic. Through the blur, she seemed to see her hands and feet tied with hemp ropes, and she was curled up on the ground.
And the men were talking about her, who was being bought and sold like an object.
Her eyes could move around and look around, and this time she saw something extraordinary, she seemed to see Qi Meiyue, who was lying on the ground like her, with several girls around her.
They all wanted to cry but didn't dare to. Xu Nian's back felt numb and she raised her head with great effort. This made her see a scene that made her even more devastated. Right in front of where the girls were lying on the ground, there were more than a hundred men, big or small, old or young, all of whom seemed to be looking at them with murderous eyes.
Xu Nian wanted to escape, she couldn't wait to escape, but she couldn't move. She looked around desperately, wanting to know where she was, but suddenly she couldn't see anymore.
Then she was helped up. It seemed that those people had agreed on a price and were about to buy her. She was so scared that she didn't even dare to breathe.
Xu Nian struggled desperately. She told herself that this was a dream, it couldn't be real, wake up, wake up. As she kept trying to encourage herself, she suddenly saw a red flag. She seemed to know that this was hope, the life she had been waiting for, and in an instant she was not so scared anymore.
Then the scene changed unpredictably, and finally there was a dark sky. It started to rain, and after the heavy rain, extremely bright stars appeared in the sky, and they slowly gathered into the Milky Way.
Xu Nian sat up reflexively, her head was dizzy, and she fell back on the bed. She could now truly feel her fingers trembling uncontrollably.
Emptiness and weakness invaded his whole body, and Xu Nian felt that this was a warning!
