The rugged mountain road twists and turns, with undulating mountains on both sides. Occasionally, you can see sheep grazing among the green hills.
Wei Ci's memory slowly revived as the scenery became more and more familiar.
The kind and gentle parents, the two calm and doting brothers, and the aunts and uncles who greeted him warmly when they met him, these were the most precious memories of the original owner's short life.
It turned out that Wei Ci was not like other fools who drooled and smiled foolishly. She had been very quiet since she was a child. In addition, she had red lips and white teeth, like a jade doll. When people in the village saw her, they would greet her with a smile and give her some wild fruits and flowers.
Of course, there are bad guys everywhere. After the original owner was almost taken advantage of by an old bachelor when she was nine years old, she never went out alone again. She was always accompanied by her eldest or second brother. But later, her eldest brother went to the army, so she rarely went out and stayed at home.
The ox cart swayed along the way and Aunt San cursed as they arrived at a bridge. Across the bridge was a century-old sycamore tree standing quietly.
Ma Gouzitun was a large village. As soon as I entered the village, many of the aunties and sisters who were sitting and chatting in the wheat field looked up. When they saw Wei Ci quietly nestled beside Wei Qingfeng, they slapped their thighs and shouted in a loud voice that could be heard from far away: "Oh my God! Isn't this Ah Ci! Where did you find her?"
"That's right! Where did little Ah Ci go? The people in the village had a hard time looking for her."
The ox cart was soon surrounded, and a finger mark appeared on Wei Ci's snow-white face, which scared her so much that she hid behind Wei Qingfeng.
It was horrible, really horrible. These women looked at her as if they wanted to eat her.
"Eh? Wei Lao San, what happened to your wife? Hey! Why is your head bleeding, little Qingmiao? Were you hit by a pig? Why are you all so bruised?"
Just as Wei Laoer and his family were about to sneak away, they were grabbed by someone. When they turned around, they were met with several pairs of sparkling eyes. Even a fool could see their curiosity.
Aunt Wei San couldn't hold back her sobs any longer after sobbing all the way. She slapped her thigh, sat on the ground and started sobbing, blaming everything on Wei Qingmiao. Even with her tears streaming down her face, she could clearly tell the whole story from beginning to end.
Everyone was stunned and surprised. They looked at Uncle Wei Er's family, then at Uncle Wei San's family, and finally their eyes fell on Wei Ci's brother and sister.
Wei Ci's eyes were slightly red, her face was pale, and her hands nervously clenched Wei Qingfeng's sleeves. When everyone looked over, two drops of clear tears happened to roll down, which made the aunts and sisters feel very distressed.
"Oh! What a sin! Ah Ci is such a good kid, and she's been raised by her elder and second brothers, and you two in the second and third houses have lost your conscience and harmed her!"
"That's right! How good was your eldest brother to you two brothers in the past? The money for you to marry and have children was all raised by your eldest brother. Your eldest brother hasn't even passed the seventh day of his death yet, and you're already humiliating his children! Aren't you afraid that your eldest brother and his wife will come looking for you at night?"
Grandma Ji, the oldest woman in the village, tapped her cane and looked at Uncle Wei Er and Uncle Wei San with a look of disappointment on her face, as if she wanted to poke them in the face with her cane.
Facing everyone's unfriendly gazes, Wei Qingmiao pretended to be calm: "We didn't do that. We didn't expect Qinghao to do such a thing. We have always taken good care of Qingfeng and Aci. Our neighbors can testify to this!"
Although everyone didn't believe it, they felt that there was some truth in it after thinking about it. After all, they were family, so how could there be any overnight hatred? It seemed that Qinghao also thought that Zuo had done something wrong.
Wei Ci lowered her eyes, and the next moment her body began to sway, frightening Wei Qingfeng to the point of trembling with fear. He immediately reached out to support her, his tone anxious: "Aci! What's wrong with you?"
Wei Ci raised her head, crying like a pear blossom in the rain, her little face was pale, and her curly eyelashes were wet with tears and stretched out in wisps, looking so pitiful: "Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't protect our family's things..." As she said that, Wei Ci covered her heart and began to cry.
"After you left, my second and third uncles emptied our house. It was because of my own incompetence that I failed to protect the family. My brothers and sisters took me away and sold me. I almost never came back, and I became a burden to the entire village. I made you spend so much time looking for me... Woohoo... I was scared to death..."
Who can't pretend to be weak? This is a skill she has practiced since she was a child. It comes more naturally to her than eating and drinking.
The sorrowful crying made Wei Qingfeng's nose sore, and he almost burst into tears. His fingers gently wiped away the big tears on his sister's face. Wei Qingfeng's voice choked with sobs: "Aci, don't cry. Don't blame Aci. How could Aci think of being on guard against her own relatives? Aci is not useless, it's your brother who is useless. He didn't protect you well!"
The brother and sister hugged each other and cried bitterly, making the aunts and sisters around them cry too. At the same time, they looked at the people from Uncle Wei's second and third uncles' families with anger and disgust.
Is this what they call taking good care of someone? They've completely emptied out their home?
Under the gazes of others, Wei Qingmiao gnashed her teeth in hatred, and tasted blood in her mouth. She looked at Wei Ci with eyes that were almost spitting fire. Unexpectedly, the next second, the crying Wei Ci raised her head from Wei Qingfeng's arms, looking at her with a pair of smiling and provocative eyes, her rosy mouth opened, and she uttered a few words "Yu Sheng", which almost made Wei Qingmiao vomit blood.
"I will take back what you owe me little by little."
Wei Qingmiao's eyes became dazed as she looked at the lotus face. She seemed to see again the glorious Wei Ci from her previous life, the Wei Ci who was held in the palm of everyone's hand, the Wei Ci who made her jealous all her life.
She clenched her fingers tightly, leaving a crescent-shaped blood mark on her palm. Wei Qingmiao seemed to be insensitive to the pain and was lost in her own magic. When she was awakened by a slap in the face, she only had time to hear the captain clapping his hands and asking people to help move things from the second and third rooms.
