The thought of wasting the talisman she had painstakingly drawn on such a person made her feel a little reluctant.
This has made her so unhappy so early in the morning, so I'll just give her a talisman of bad luck, hoping her own luck can withstand it.
After much deliberation, she chose the fourth-tier bad luck talisman she had just drawn a couple of days ago. This thing should guarantee her a few months of bad luck.
However, if this enhanced version goes too far, it could be deadly. Forget it, let's just give it a second-tier one. It should be fine after a month of mold.
With a hand gesture, the talisman of bad luck silently landed on Zhou Xiaolan and disappeared instantly.
Hua Xiangyun silently murmured to herself, "...Master, I was wrong. This time I targeted ordinary people. I'll definitely donate more money later..."
Zhou Xiaolan felt a chill run down her spine. She looked down at her thin cotton-padded jacket and compared it to Hua Xiangyun's, feeling even more uncomfortable.
Before she could speak, Hua Xiangyun quickened her pace, "You're aloof and kind, so it's best if you don't get involved with me. If we bump into each other on the street in the future, please keep your distance."
I really don't understand. Knowing that others don't like you, why do you keep trying to get close to them?
"Peony, wait for me!" Hua Xiangyun saw several classmates appearing around the corner in the distance, including some acquaintances, and quickly shouted loudly. She was confident in her bad luck charm, and it was better to stay away to avoid being implicated.
Xiao Shaoyao heard it too and stopped to wait for her.
Zhou Xiaolan then remembered that she had important business to attend to when she stopped Hua Xiangyun today, so she quickly followed, saying, "Wait a minute, I have something else to say."
Just then, her two feet somehow tripped together, and before she could even scream, she fell heavily to the ground.
Hua Xiangyun had already stood next to Xiao Shaoyao and turned around quickly when she heard the noise.
She patted her chest and, before Zhou Xiaolan could speak, said with great relief, "Luckily I chased after you just now, otherwise, standing next to her, I don't know how she would have wronged me."
Xiao Shaoyao said, "It shouldn't be that bad. You're dozens of meters away from her. Besides, we're not blind; we're watching."
Xiao Shaoyao's classmate nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's so far away, how could they possibly blame you for this? You're overthinking it."
Zhou Xiaolan, who also had such thoughts, thought, "This is too much! These people are going too far! Even if she had such thoughts, she hasn't said them out loud yet, has she?"
She's already so pitiful, and none of these people know to come and help her.
“I’ve heard of a type of person who specializes in staging accidents. If we go and help her up, do you think she might try to pin the blame on us? After all, the Zhou family has done this before.”
Hua Xiangyun reminded everyone again that the farce that the Zhou family had caused before had already spread like wildfire throughout the school.
The classmates who helped take the Zhou siblings to the hospital back then are still indignant when they talk about it now.
Moreover, the Zhou siblings did not express their gratitude afterward, which left them feeling disheartened, and naturally, they would not give them any face in public.
“Look, she’s still glaring at us,” a first-year high school girl said, hiding behind her older siblings in fright.
"Let's go back to school first, and while we're at it, let's call the hospital next door and ask them to come and help." Hua Xiangyun was very impressed with her classmates' reaction. They had indeed learned from their mistakes. Now let's see if anyone will lend a helping hand.
Just as they were about to leave, they turned back and called out, "Zhou Xiaolan, you wait here. We'll go get the doctor. That's all we can do to help."
They didn't expect to be repaid with gratitude, but they were also afraid of being repaid with ingratitude. Even when people appeared on the roadside later, they didn't dare to easily offer help.
Zhou Xiaolan lay on the ground, raising her blood-soaked arm, with a small stone wedged in her palm.
My whole body aches, and the people on the street are not only watching me die but also pointing and gossiping...
Some people wanted to step forward to help, but were stopped by others. "You dare to lend a hand? Hua Xiangyun was so far away from him before, and people still dared to come to his door to make a scene. If you go closer, they'll just start to harass you."
Zhou Xiaolan lay helplessly on the ground, not understanding why...

Hua Xiangyun had just left school when she heard several versions of Zhou Xiaolan's unfortunate story.
"Xiaolan has only been here for half a day this week, but she's had such an amazing time." As soon as Li Na left the classroom, she started sharing her latest news with her classmates.
"I fell this morning, and after being taken to the hospital for a quick treatment of my wound, I came to school as soon as I saw that I was alright."
Guess what happened to her as soon as she got to the school gate?
"Did he fall again?" one of the male students said with ill intent. After all, they had taken the person to the hospital last time and hadn't received a single word of thanks, which made him feel a little resentful.
It's not that they necessarily expect something in return, but rather that they feel the good deed wasn't worth it.
“I suspect you were hiding at the school gate watching the commotion,” Li Na gave him a thumbs up. “Sure enough, you fell again.”
The school gate is paved with concrete; she still managed to trip and fall on such a flat road. Everyone's talking about whether she has the legendary flat feet.
"It shouldn't be. I've never seen her with these symptoms before. Luckily, no one was around when she fell both times, otherwise she would have been blamed."
"Then we should stay away from her from now on. I've heard that her family is very unreasonable..."
Li Na, hands on her hips, angrily said, "Do you guys still want to hear the latest news? What have you gotten yourself into?"
Hua Xiangyun and the others stopped and watched Li Na, waiting for her performance...
Li Na, under everyone's gaze, immediately raised her head, feeling that skipping the last class was absolutely worth it. "I just had my wound treated at the hospital, and the teacher advised me that since I was injured, I should go home and rest."
What a great thing! No need to go to class and can be lazy openly.
But she wasn't so lucky. Before she even left the hospital, she lost her footing and tumbled down the stairs by the main entrance.
The teacher who came back said that he was bleeding profusely from a head injury and is still in the hospital receiving intravenous fluids.
"This is just... terrible," she was about to say "bad luck," but then she changed the subject, "Will she come to school this afternoon?"
Hua Xiangyun touched her nose; this low-level bad luck charm seemed to be working way too well.
However, these are all superficial wounds, so they probably don't need to be treated...
Zhou Xiaolan lay on the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling. She wanted to cry but dared not, for if her tears soaked into the wounds on her face, the pain would be unbearable.
I'm always extra careful when I walk, so how could I keep making these kinds of mistakes?
Thinking back to where I fell, it all seems to have been flat.
And today's three hospital visits have wasted so much money, all of which is registered under Zhou's father's name. When his salary is deducted at the end of the month, I don't know how he will be scolded.
