24 Mysterious Man
◎…◎
After leaving the mourning hall, Iketani Aicai began to receive Xia Xiaoqing's remaining memories.
Speaking of Xia Xiaoqing's life experience, it was quite tragic.
When he was three years old, his brother was so hungry that he went to the river to fish and accidentally drowned. His parents had a fierce quarrel.
Then he despised his own father as a good-for-nothing who couldn't support his wife and children, and ran away from home in anger, never to return.
It was a difficult time at that time. My grandmother thought that my mother would not be able to go far without food and would come back on her own soon, so she stopped my father who was about to chase her out.
The father thought that was indeed the case, and since he had no food in his stomach and didn't have the strength to walk, he gave up chasing him.
What the mother and son didn't expect was that their mother never came back.
It just so happened that no man was seen in the village during that period, so my grandmother concluded that my mother must have had an affair with that wild man and eloped with him.
My father didn’t believe it at first, but after listening to my grandmother talk about it many times, he started to believe it.
Not only did he hate his own mother and curse her every day, he also disliked his own daughter Xia Xiaoqing.
Sometimes when he was drunk, he would hit Xia Xiaoqing.
Although he would feel regret and blame himself every time he sobered up and thought that this was his beloved daughter, it did not stop him from doing the same to Xia Xiaoqing the next time he got drunk.
Her grandmother thought that since she had a mother who eloped with someone, she would definitely not be a good person when she grew up, so she was extremely strict with her.
If she spoke any more words to the little boy in the village, he would not only call her a little bitch, but also beat her up.
Not only that, in order to have a grandson to carry on the family line, the grandmother also planned to help the father remarry.
When my biological father's blind date came to visit for the first time, he ordered Xia Xiaoqing around everywhere. My biological grandmother not only did not stop him, but also indulged him.
Xia Xiaoqing, who was not even five years old, felt despair when she discovered the malice in her future stepmother's eyes.
Fortunately, a few days later, an accident happened and Xia Xiaoqing survived.
When my father went to the mountains to cut wood with the logging team, he was killed by a falling tree due to an operational error.
Since the biological father is gone, the stepmother who hasn't even entered the family is naturally gone too.
Although her grandmother fell ill due to grief because her father was crushed to death before he remarried and gave her a grandson, Xia Xiaoqing couldn't help but feel secretly happy in her heart.
Finally, she no longer had to worry about being beaten by her biological father when he got drunk, nor did she have to worry about being tortured and abused by her stepmother when she came home.
After her grandmother fell seriously ill and passed away after half a year, Xia Xiaoqing felt that the sky was bluer and the air was fresher.
Because my father died in the line of duty, the logging team gave him a lot of compensation.
Although a lot of this money was spent during the six months when my grandmother was seriously ill, if we spend it frugally, it can still last until she grows up.
However, she was still too young and it was unrealistic for her to live alone. Finally, under the arrangement of the village cadres, they wanted to choose a foster family for her.
But thinking about the fact that three people from the Xia family had died in a row and not a single one had escaped, many families in the village believed that Xia Xiaoqing was a jinx.
Several well-off families that were originally favored by the village cadres had no intention of taking over the task of raising Xia Xiaoqing.
If the other person doesn't want to, you can't force him or her. Even if you succeed, it won't be a good thing for Xia Xiaoqing.
Fortunately, an elder in the village, Old Master Xia, who had served in the army and fought against the Japanese, stepped forward and expressed his willingness to adopt Xia Xiaoqing, and the problem was resolved.
This old man Xia has a special status in the village. Not only is he of a high generation, he also knows many officials. After being adopted by him, Xia Xiaoqing's situation in the village has improved a lot.
At least, no one dared to call her a jinx to her face anymore.
Otherwise, if Old Master Xia hears it, he will be beaten with a stick and given a lecture.
From then on, Xia Xiaoqing lived a stable and peaceful life.
I grew up like this until I was fourteen, when a pair of cousins came to the village to work in the countryside.
The girl was pretty and charming, and the boy was handsome and outstanding. Even Xia Xiaoqing, who was only fourteen years old, couldn't help but stare at them.
Knowing that she and the other person were not from the same world, Xia Xiaoqing did not take the initiative to approach.
Song Shishi couldn't stand the hardship of working in the countryside, and when she learned that Xia Xiaoqing had a hunting skill learned from Old Master Xia, she took the initiative to approach him, and the two of them got in touch.
Although Xia Xiaoqing knew that Song Shishi approached her in order to take advantage of her and get some free food, she was too embarrassed to refuse.
One time, Xia Xiaoqing was going hunting, and Song Shishi insisted on going with her. Xia Xiaoqing refused because she was worried that she would not be able to take care of her.
But unexpectedly, Song Shishi did not give up and secretly followed Xia Xiaoqing while she was not paying attention.
But she was so unlucky that she was almost bitten to death by a poisonous snake.
If Xia Xiaoqing hadn't found her in time and rescued her, she would have died.
Because of saving Song Shishi's life, Xia Xiaoqing was not only more closely attached to Song Shishi, but also came into contact with Song Shishi's cousin, Pan Heyin.
It was natural for Xia Xiaoqing to be attracted by such a handsome, knowledgeable, gentle and considerate man.
Fortunately, she was not one-sidedly interested. Pan and Yin also had a good impression of Xia Xiaoqing.
Unlike the women he had known before, Xia Xiaoqing's tenacity, like the unrestrained growth of wild weeds, particularly attracted him.
Unlike his mother, who has a job and can earn money, she loses herself when she meets his father.
She is also not like her cousin Song Shishi, who has been like a dodder since childhood and only knows how to rely on others.
As the person Song Shishi depends on, Pan Heyin sometimes feels very annoyed and wants to ignore his cousin.
However, since he was taught by his father to be nice to his cousin since he was a child, it is not easy for him to break free from the shackles of his biological father.
After knowing Xia Xiaoqing for a long time, Pan Heyin became more and more attracted to her.
Then, despite the obstruction of his cousin Song Shishi and the opposition of his parents, he proposed to Xia Xiaoqing after she became an adult.
At that time, Old Master Xia was already very old and his health was deteriorating. He didn't have many days left to live.
After several years of getting along, he finally agreed to the marriage because he had a good understanding of Pan and Yin.
Not long after they got married, Old Master Xia died of illness.
Half a year later, news came that the college entrance examination had been resumed, along with the news that Xia Xiaoqing was pregnant.
Fortunately, Pan Heyin did not disappoint Old Master Xia.
Even after he was gone, after Pan and Yin were admitted to university and could return to the city, they did not abandon Xia Xiaoqing. Instead, they took the pregnant Xia Xiaoqing to university with them.
Later, the couple had a daughter.
Relying on the martial arts skills he learned from Old Master Xia, Xia Xiaoqing found a temporary job at the sports school next door.
Once you pass the assessment at the sports school, you can become a formal physical education teacher.
What the couple didn't expect was that Xia Xiaoqing, who seemed to be in good health, suddenly fell ill.
Pan Heyin believed that Xia Xiaoqing fell ill because she lived too frugally and ate too much leftovers.
However, Xia Xiaoqing thought that her health problems were caused by her miserable childhood and excessive hunger, which damaged her foundation.
It never occurred to me that I was poisoned.
Until her death, Xia Xiaoqing had no resentment.
My only regret is that I couldn't see my daughter for the last time.
But just when she was about to die, Song Shishi drove Pan Heyin away and took the initiative to change her clothes and clean her body.
Before she could feel touched by Song Shishi, she heard Song Shishi whispering in her ear with malice.
She said that she had deliberately abandoned her daughter Guoguo half a year ago, and now she didn't know where she was in the mountains, working like a slave.
Xia Xiaoqing's eyes were bloodshot and he would die with his eyes wide open, his resentment still lingering.
The remaining soul wandered around the house, wishing it could pounce on Song Shishi and tear her to pieces.
However, as his soul continued to dissipate, his power became weaker and weaker, and he was unable to attack living people. He could only watch Song Shishi continue to live freely.
When she learned that she was poisoned to death and that it was probably related to Song Shishi, her resentment became even stronger.
Xia Xiaoqing really couldn't understand why Song Shishi treated her like this?!
Back when we were in the countryside, I took good care of Song Shishi and gave her meat to eat.
If you can't figure it out, don't think about it anymore. Chi Gu Ai and Xia Xiaoqing's residual soul merged into one, climbed out of the coffin and went straight to Song Shishi's residence.
As an employee of Huaijiang University of Science and Technology, Song Shishi has a place to stay in the school.
But she disliked sharing a dormitory with others and rarely lived here. Instead, she spent money to rent a small courtyard near the school.
Xia Xiaoqing had been to that small courtyard many times, which saved Chi Guyai the trouble of looking for it.
A crescent moon hung in the night sky, emitting a thin and hazy light. In such a dark night, Iketani Ai was very careful in her actions.
I was afraid of running into innocent people on the road and scaring them to death.
Fortunately, Song Shishi's residence off-campus was not far away, and it only took three or four minutes for Ikegani Ai to reach her destination.
As soon as she landed in the yard where Song Shishi rented a house, Chi Gu Ai heard strange noises coming from the house.
Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've probably seen a pig run.
Iketani Ai, who had secretly watched a lot of hehe videos in her previous life, suddenly reacted.
Listening to the heavy and soft breathing sounds in the room, Iketani Ai shook her head speechlessly.
Although she likes to watch short hehe videos, she has no interest in watching live action movies.
She's not a pervert!
Seeing that it would take more than a short time to finish the job, Iketani Ai didn't know what to do.
Should we kick the door right away? Or should we wait until the situation inside is resolved?
Also, when Xia Xiaoqing was still alive, I never heard that Song Shishi had a partner.
Song Shishi sternly rejected Xia Xiaoqing's suggestion to introduce her to a school teacher, saying that she had no plans to date at the moment.
Unexpectedly, Song Shishi not only found one in a short time, but they also progressed to the point where they were wrestling and fighting together.
At this moment, a sharp cry and a low cry rang out simultaneously.
When Iketani Ai realized that she was finally done, she was about to kick the door when she heard voices coming from inside.
"I heard that there's something fishy about the cause of your cousin's death, and the police are investigating?"
Song Shishi, who had no idea about this, was stunned.
"Is there something wrong with the cause of death? How is that possible! She clearly died of illness."
"I've had some cooperation with your university, so I'm well-informed. I heard he died of thallium poisoning."
"You were previously suspected by the police of deliberately abandoning your cousin's child. Be careful next time. I'm worried they'll suspect you again."
Hearing the man say this, the afterglow in Song Shishi's body suddenly disappeared.
Song Shishi angrily climbed up from the man and started cursing the police with a grim expression.
"What's going on? Are you pinning all the blame on me? Do I look like a bad person?!"
The man sneered as he touched the beautiful woman's face, which had just been moisturized by him and was extremely delicate and charming.
Doesn’t she know whether she is a good person or not?
Even if she wasn't the one who poisoned the child, she was the one who lost the child, right?
After all, he saw her deliberately losing the child.
Seeing the man's expression, Song Shishi realized that the man knew her background very well and couldn't help but giggle.
Women don’t love men who are not bad, and the same is true for men.
Isn't it this wickedness of her that the man before her loves? Otherwise, why didn't he save Pan Guoguo from the human traffickers and instead fooled around with her?!
After feeling proud, Song Shishi also began to guess who poisoned Xia Xiaoqing.
Although she didn't want to admit it, Song Shishi had to say that Xia Xiaoqing was a very good person and had never had any grudges with anyone.
But sometimes, even if you don't provoke others, resentment will still arise.
As far as she knew, there was someone who wished Xia Xiaoqing dead.
So, could it be that the man not only ordered her to get rid of Pan Guoguo, but also murdered Xia Xiaoqing?
Song Shishi didn't care whether Xia Xiaoqing was poisoned to death, but now the police might suspect her, and she couldn't be happy about it.
"So, it must have been that ugly bastard who did it. Only that ugly bastard would wish Xia Xiaoqing dead!"
When the man heard Song Shishi confidently say a woman's name, his eyes flashed and then he smiled with satisfaction.
【Author’s words】
I took some time to code. I don't know how many days my mother can hold on in this condition. Sigh... There are too many people suffering from cancer now. Everyone should have regular physical examinations. Prevention is the priority.
