Chapter 124 No More Nightmares
Zhao Yuanyuan hid back in the spiritual plant space.
She looked at the endless spiritual field in front of her, and the edge where only a few rows of peanuts, potatoes and corn were sparsely planted, and then looked at the Chinese medicinal herbs such as ginseng and Panax notoginseng planted in the front. She let out a sigh of relief, and slowly calmed her rapid heartbeat.
"Don't blame me, I had no choice." She whispered, suppressing the guilt of abandoning Zhao Chenxing, then rolled up her sleeves and began to work.
She wanted to put away the mature plants. There was a warehouse in the space where the flow of time was suspended. The spiritual field could quickly ripen ordinary plants. This was the conclusion she came to after several days of exploration.
Nowadays, the most stored items in the warehouse are various precious Chinese medicinal materials. In addition, there are fresh food with mud and a few baskets of fruits.
The fruits are all common fruits in the outside world, such as oranges, persimmons, dates, pears and so on.
There was no other way. The seeds in the spiritual plant space did not contain any fruit trees or food, only Chinese medicinal herbs. This was why she was thinking of slowly selling Chinese medicinal herbs in the future.
However, the plants grown in this spiritual field are of much better quality than those grown in the outside world. If she were to sell them on the black market, she would definitely have to raise the price. It would be best to find a fixed middleman who could sell them in retail.
Of course, it is too early to say these things now. The best plan for now... is to consolidate her own personality and make her parents pay more and more attention to her. This way, she can easily get more things and let her father go to the black market to find ways. Otherwise, if she becomes rich alone, it will not work if her family is held back. In this era, it is impossible for her to break away from her family and soar to the sky on her own.
While working, Zhao Yuanyuan's brain was not completely empty. She was thinking about every step in her future. After her heart gradually calmed down, she remembered that a wild boar slaughter might be going on outside.
She recalled carefully that she had arrived at the hillside and was waiting there first. Although she saw many people along the way, she deliberately avoided them. The stars were always quiet, so no one should have seen her leading Zhao Chenxing up the mountain.
In this way, it would be much easier for him to clear his suspicion. He only needed to avoid the crowd and go down the mountain after everything was over. When his family found that Zhao Chenxing was missing, he would follow them into the mountains to look for him.
I will secretly guide those people to find the bodies of Zhao Chenxing and the human traffickers. In this way, they will only speculate whether the human traffickers kidnapped Zhao Chenxing and killed him in the mountains, and no one will suspect me anymore.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yuanyuan couldn't help but thank the human traffickers for their appearance. It would be better if the traffickers died, as she would have gotten rid of a scourge for the people. Zhao Chenxing's death would also make his parents heartbroken. Without the lifeblood to carry on the family line, it would probably be more despair than letting them die on their own.
As for Xiaoyueliang... Zhao Yuanyuan could only sigh at her luck. Considering that her parents had lost a child, she would not target her anymore. She just wanted her to see that she, the third sister, would live a better and better life in the future, and the family would become more and more prosperous, while she and her parents would have to work hard in the countryside for the rest of their lives.
Isn't this a cruel punishment without bloodshed?
Zhao Yuanyuan worked in the space for nearly an hour before coming out.
She reappeared on the original branch and could see from afar a large area of fallen grass and trees and a glaring bloody scene on the ground.
She lived in a peaceful era, and even though she had imagined such a scene many times in her mind, the first sight still had a great impact on her.
In addition, it was autumn, the wind was howling, and being in such a place and seeing such a death scene, she felt a chill down her spine. So she did not bother to take a closer look. She only saw large traces of dragged blood and bitten bones, and she quickly looked away, running down the mountain in a hurry.
But I met my mother on the way.
I don’t know if it was because she had just “witnessed” Zhao Chenxing’s death, but even though she tried hard to convince herself that she had no choice, Zhao Yuanyuan couldn’t help feeling worried when facing Zhao Chenxing’s biological mother. But this was the only way home, and the two would run into each other sooner or later.
Just when she was thinking about whether she should hide for a while, Xie Jiaxiu suddenly called her name.
"Yuanyuan, you are covered with leaves and grass debris. Did you go to the mountains to play?" Xie Jiaxiu asked with a smile, which made Zhao Yuanyuan's heart tremble for a moment. Then she said in a gentle voice, "Your mother asked you not to run around outside and go back to do your homework with your brother. Come back quickly and don't play outside anymore."
Zhao Yuanyuan was in a state of panic and fear as if she had done something bad. At this moment, Xie Jiaxiu pointed out that she had just come out of the mountains. The countermeasures that she had thought of very well in the mountains suddenly became less certain.
When Zhao Yuanyuan thought that her act of killing Zhao Chenxing might be discovered, her face turned pale uncontrollably.
She didn't even bother to listen to what Xie Jiaxiu said next. She just responded casually, lowered her head and hurried home.
Behind her, Xie Jiaxiu looked at her frightened back as if she was being chased by a ghost, and frowned suspiciously.
What did Sanya do to make her feel so guilty?
I dare not even look at myself...
Xie Jiaxiu was doubtful in her heart. After thinking for a while, she took the sickle in her hand, followed Zhao Yuanyuan not too far away, and went home with her.
Seeing Zhao Yuanyuan looking back or looking around from time to time along the way, Xie Jiaxiu frowned even more tightly.
What's going on? If the third girl got something good, she shouldn't be so timid, right? This girl has been very bold recently.
So what wrong did you do that couldn't be discovered?
Xie Jiaxiu was afraid that the little girl had really gotten into trouble outside, so she followed her all the way, intending to go back and have a good chat with the girl while there were few people at home.
But what she never expected was that as soon as she got outside the house, she heard a terrified question that was almost like a scream coming from the closed yard: "Why are you home? You are not dead?!"
The word "death" made Xie Jiaxiu's heart tremble with fear.
She guessed something, raised her hand to cover her rapidly beating heart, and forced herself to remain calm as she stood quietly against the wall. Her face was pale and bloodless, and she held her breath while pinching her trembling fingers to listen to the movements in the yard.
"Son, your mother is outside, and she seems a little scared." Qiuqiu unilaterally broke the confrontation in the yard, a little worried that Xingxing's mother outside might not be able to bear it and faint.
Although Xingxing has been trying different ways to give her mother spiritual spring water these days, Xie Jiaxiu's physical condition is really poor. What if she gets too much of a shock?
Xingxing didn't originally want to talk to Zhao Yuanyuan.
But Zhao Yuanyuan stared at him as if he had seen a ghost, and her questioning voice was sharp and piercing. Even if he wanted her to be quieter, it was impossible.
Xingxing pursed her lips, listening to the almost equally chaotic and complicated thoughts of Zhao Yuanyuan and her mother outside the house. She hid Xiaoyue, who was also frightened by Zhao Yuanyuan, behind her, and then raised her eyes to meet Zhao Yuanyuan's frightened and contracted pupils.
"Third sister, what are you talking about?" Xingxing asked softly. In her incredulous gaze, she asked back, "Do you want me to die?"
Zhao Yuanyuan: “…”
She was in a panic and had no idea why things turned out this way.
Why didn’t such a huge group of wild boars kill Zhao Chenxing?
The traffickers who were more likely to escape were all dead! Why was Zhao Chenxing, a child, able to leave the mountain safely? ?
She was in a panic, being stared at by Xingxing's pure black and white eyes. She no longer felt guilty about being seen through, but felt as if her whole body was falling into an ice cellar. The blood in her body solidified bit by bit, and her brain went blank.
If Zhao Chenxing didn't die, then...did he see me disappearing out of thin air? What would he think? Would he...tell his family?
Will my spiritual plant space be exposed? Or will my family think I am possessed by a demon?
what to do?
Why is he still alive?
Why didn't he just die on the mountain?!
…………
Zhao Yuanyuan's teeth were chattering with fear. She was shaking all over and her face was pale. It was a bright and warm afternoon, but she just felt cold all over.
If I had known this would happen... I shouldn't have tricked him into going to the mountains, let alone taken him deep into the mountains...
Zhao Yuanyuan finally felt regretful.
But it seems that it is already too late——
No! Not yet!! Zhao Chenxing is just a three-year-old child. Maybe... maybe he doesn't know anything. As long as I coax him a little and give him a little benefit, maybe he will keep this matter to himself and not tell anyone!
Thinking of this, Zhao Yuanyuan felt like a person who was almost trapped in a dead end and suddenly found the direction. Her thundering heartbeat gradually slowed down. She opened her mouth, but her throat, hoarse from fright, could not make a sound for a while.
"Third sister."
Xingxing interrupted her explanation and coaxing.
In her panicked daze, Xingxing gently curved her beautiful eyes and said slowly, "Are you having a nightmare? Get some more sun, the sun will take away all the bad things in your dream."
Mom has been thinking a lot outside the house, and Xingxing doesn’t want her to hear more and be scared.
Mom is a human being who grew up in this world. In Mom’s world, there is no reincarnation and no killing of relatives.
But Xingxing was not willing to let go of the twisted adult soul in front of her so easily.
So after he finished speaking, he approached the stunned protagonist, and when she staggered back in panic, he stopped and said to her in a soft voice, "Don't be afraid, Third Sister. You won't have nightmares anymore."
The ball flew up and landed on Zhao Yuanyuan's shoulder before she knew it.
The child slightly raised his fair face against the light, and the sunlight illuminated the tiny hairs on his face. His eyes were curved, and Zhao Yuanyuan's panic-stricken look was reflected in his clear and clean pupils, and it seemed that the true and ugly soul of an adult was distorted little by little in his eyes.
Zhao Yuanyuan gasped in panic. She didn't dare to look at the stars, but she felt as if something important was leaving her in an invisible trance.
That feeling... Zhao Yuanyuan was extremely panicked, but she really didn't know what was going on, until... until the small fragments that glowed silently in the heart of her soul body gradually became dim, and a moment of confusion flashed in her eyes.
"Kid, it's done!" The ball flew down from Zhao Yuanyuan's shoulder, glowing.
From this moment on, the golden finger bound to Zhao Yuanyuan was completely sealed. She lost the memory of standing on the shoulders of a giant in her previous life, but only retained the memory of the spiritual plant space. She would clearly remember what she had and what she had lost, but she could never hurt the Zhao family again.
After using his special powers, Xingxing no longer cared about Zhao Yuanyuan. Instead, he took his sister's hand and walked quietly towards the door.
The next second, Xie Jiaxiu, who was still leaning against the wall thinking hard, caught a glimpse of two little guys peeking through the crack in the door.
