At noon, smoke began to rise from every household in the village. The smell of smoke filled the entire village, and even wild dogs on the roadside came moving at the scent.
"Mom, that wild dog took away a chicken leg!"
"You little bastard, dare you come here? I'll beat you to death!"
He Hongying, with her long donkey face, put one hand on her waist and picked up the broom by the door with the other hand and hit the big black dog that stole the chicken leg.
The big black dog ran fast. He Hongying chased it for a long distance but couldn't catch up. She could only curse angrily:
"Little bastard, if I see you again, I'll drown you and that little jinx in the cesspool!"
The old village chief walked out of the house on crutches and said sullenly, "Alright, alright! He Hongying, that big black dog is smart and has raised that girl for so many years. What's wrong with you giving it a bite of meat?"
"I haven't had any meat in my house for half a month. I finally managed to give my child some oil and water, but this beast stole it. If you want to be a good person, why don't you invite that jinx to live in your house, village chief?"
Taoyuan Village is a small place, and each household is close to each other. If there is a quarrel here, everyone else can hear it.
"He Hongying, stop calling Miss Chu a jinx. If it weren't for Mr. Chu saving our Taoyuan Village, we probably wouldn't be living like this now!"
"That's right! Now that Mr. Chu is gone, he only has this granddaughter and this big black dog left behind. Even if we can't afford to support her, we can at least give her some food to eat!"
He Hongying was embarrassed by what these people said, but she refused to admit defeat. She immediately glared at them and pinched her waist and retorted:
"Okay, okay, okay! You're all good people, and I'm the only bad one, okay? If you're so talkative, send that jinx back home tomorrow and let those filthy creatures run into your houses one by one!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
The jinx He Hongying mentioned is Chu Runrun, the granddaughter of the famous Yin-Yang master in Taoyuan Village. She was born with a pair of Yin-Yang eyes and can see ghosts and gods.
Anyone who recruited her would be entangled by some unclean things. Therefore, after Mr. Chu left, no one in the village was willing to accept Chu Runrun.
Over the past year, if it weren't for the stray dogs in the village going door to door to collect food for Chu Runrun, this little girl would probably have died.
In the peach forest in the distance, a little girl wearing an ill-fitting gray linen dress stared at the people arguing with her big round eyes, but did not dare to get close.
The big black dog beside him wagged its tail and put the chicken leg it had brought to Chu Ruanruan's feet.
Chu Ruanruan patted the big black dog's head and said with a smile: "Thank you, Dahei, I'm not hungry, you eat it!"
The big black dog pushed the chicken leg towards Chu Ruanruan. Chu Ruanruan swallowed his saliva, then picked up the dirty chicken leg, wiped off the dust on it and took a bite of the meat.
She hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and the big black dog hadn't eaten for a long time either.
Chu Ruanruan tore off the meat from the chicken leg and handed it to the big black dog: "Big Black, you eat it!"
The big black dog wagged its tail, took the chicken bone into its mouth, took a few bites and swallowed it.
Chu Runrun knew what Dahei meant, you eat the meat and I eat the bones!
"Thank you, Dahei!"
The little girl rubbed the big black dog's head, which was so soft and cuddly that it was almost melting people's hearts.
"Chu girl!"
A young man carrying a basket on his back walked out of the peach forest.
Chu Ruanruan subconsciously took a few steps back when she saw him: "Uncle Kuan, I didn't steal the peaches!"
Liu Dakuan felt distressed when he saw the little girl with a dirty face.
Since her grandfather passed away, this girl has been living like a stray dog. Grandpa Chu had been kind to her, and he wanted to take Chu Ruanruan to his home to raise her, but his wife would never agree.
Chu Ruanruan was born different from normal children. Her eyes can see dirty things, and those dirty things especially like to follow her.
Liu Dakuan was also afraid, so he could only secretly give him some food or peaches from time to time to make up for his guilt.
"Chu girl, if you want to eat peaches in the future, just tell Uncle Kuan and he will pick them for you!"
As he spoke, Liu Dakuan picked a few big and sweet peaches from the tree and was about to hand them to Chu Runruan, but Chu Runruan quickly took several steps back.
"Uncle Kuan, please put it on the ground. I'll get it later!"
A trace of loneliness flashed across Chu Ruanruan's little face.
She knew she was a strange child, so she couldn't bring these bad things to others.
Liu Dakuan lowered his head and sighed guiltily:
"I'm sorry! Chu girl, this is all I can do for you. He Hongying is no good. Next time, ask Dahei to come to my house. I'll prepare the food and leave it at the door for him to take back to you!"
"Thank you, Uncle Kuan!" Chu Runrun smiled sweetly, her eyes curved and her two little canine teeth were exposed, which was sweet to people's hearts.
Liu Dakuan was about to cry: "Girl, Uncle Kuan is leaving first. Your aunt is still waiting for me at home for dinner!"
"Well! Goodbye Uncle Kuan!" Chu Runrun said politely.
After Liu Dakuan left, Chu Ruanruan dared to walk over and pick up the peach:
"Dahei, we have peaches to eat!"
Chu Ruanruan turned around and glanced at Liu Dakuan again, but suddenly her face frowned and she said seriously:
"Dahei, there seems to be something on top of Uncle Kuan's head!"
Chu Runrun looked at Liu Dakuan from afar and saw a layer of black air surrounding his head. This black air made her feel very uncomfortable.
Grandpa said that her pair of Yin-Yang eyes are different from other Yin-Yang eyes. Not only can she identify ghosts, but she can also tell fortunes and read people's faces.
That layer of black air indicated that Liu Dakuan was going to be in trouble today. Chu Ruanruan quickly shouted:
"Uncle Kuan!"
When Liu Dakuan turned around, Chu Runrun saw that the corner of the moon above his pupil was covered with a faint black gas.
The sun horn represents the father and the moon horn represents the mother. The black air covering the moon horn indicates that Liu Dakuan's mother will meet with an unexpected disaster today, but she cannot tell what it is.
"Uncle Kuan, please pay more attention to Grandma Liu when you go back!" Chu Runrun's childish voice was full of seriousness.
Liu Dakuan seemed to see Grandpa Chu in a trance. Grandpa Chu had told him the same thing at the beginning, that he should pay more attention to his wife when he returned.
As a result, in the afternoon, his wife was almost killed by wood falling from the upstairs. If he had not noticed it in advance, his wife would probably have died.
Now that Chu Ruanruan also said this, Liu Dakuan became serious.
"Chu girl, did you see something?"
Chu Ruanruan shook her head: "Uncle Kuan, that's all I can say!"
Liu Dakuan knew that the Yin-Yang Master's lineage was trying to steal the secrets of heaven and that too much could not be revealed, so he could only nod and leave.
Chu Runrun looked at the peach in her hand, her little face full of confusion.
"Dahei, Uncle Kuan can't seem to solve this problem by himself. Should I help him?"
"Ah!" Dahei yelled, and Chu Ruanruan laughed:
"Uncle Kuan treats me so well, I must help him!"
Dahei lowered his head. The big black dog couldn't speak, but he understood human nature very well. He knew that with Chu Runrun's personality, he would help Liu Dakuan even if he would be scolded.
