Chapter 28 The Evil Daughter Who Was Driven Away
[Your mother is pitiful, and you are pitiful too, but this is a murder case...]
[Do you consider crime a business?]
What do you regard as the law?
Zhang Xiaojia directly pulled a middle-aged woman in.
Zhang Xiaojia said calmly, "Ms. Xiao, I'm sorry to drag you into this, but I think you should know the truth of the matter."
Ms. Xiao looked at Bai Mu with disgust, "You owe me, you owe me this. Since you were 5 years old, your father and your grandmother stopped beating me. It was you who beat me. It's been 3 years, and it's always been you who beat me."
"Really? We have plenty of time. Take your time and start from the beginning. There's no rush."
Ms. Xiao recalled with red eyes:
Thinking back on it still brings back lingering fears. I remember right after finishing my freshman year finals, I excitedly called my parents and told them, "Mom and Dad, don't worry! I've already bought my ticket home, so you don't need to pick me up!" My parents' concerned instructions came from the other end of the line, especially the one that said, "Don't talk to strangers on the street, and don't pay attention to anyone you don't know." I obediently complied.
However, fate has a way of playing tricks on us. On the way back, despite carefully following my parents' instructions, a nightmare was about to unfold. Suddenly, a strange fragrance filled the carriage, and I felt dizzy and my consciousness gradually faded. When I woke up again, I found myself in a dilapidated van, my hands and feet tightly bound, and my mouth gagged.
The car bumped along for who knows how long before finally stopping in a remote village. Then, like merchandise, I was bought by a wrinkled, cold-eyed old woman and locked up in a dark, damp mud house. The door was locked tightly with thick iron bars, as if completely isolating me from the outside world.
Every night was an endless torture for me. The inhumane abuse exhausted me both physically and mentally. Day after day, year after year, I endured this agony. A year later, I gave birth to a child. At that moment, looking at the tiny life in my arms, a glimmer of hope welled up in my heart. Perhaps this child would become a ray of sunshine in my dark life.
So, I poured all my love into caring for him, teaching him, and doing my utmost to protect him from harm. But who could have predicted that when this child turned five, everything would change. That night, he whipped me mercilessly with a whip. In that instant, my world shattered. From then on, this child, who had once brought me a glimmer of warmth, would constantly beat me. Hahahahaha… How ironic! How could this still be my child? He was clearly a demon!
Ms. Xiao broke down and cried.
【The devil's child is a devil.】
[Born a bad seed, this person is beyond salvation]
Frankly speaking, in that place, the roots are already rotten, how can it possibly get better?
Zhang Xiaojia's cold and calm voice flowed out slowly like a cold spring, "There is not a trace of evil on Bai Mu's body or face. His virtues cannot be deceived. He has not done a single wrong thing so far.
Were you really nice to Bai Mu back then?
The force with which an adult and a five-year-old hit someone is different, and the damage is different. When you are being tortured, would you rather be whipped by an adult or by a five-year-old? Who would you choose?
[Hmm. After listening to the host, if I had to choose, I would definitely go with a five-year-old, a gentler one.]
[Anchor, please tell me, I want to know]
"The most pitiful person in this family is undoubtedly Bai Mu. His mother was bought and became a victim of misfortune, but when faced with her own children, she suddenly turned into a perpetrator. Bai Mu, who was extremely intelligent, was aware of his mother's difficult situation from a young age, but he was still young and powerless at the time, and was completely unable to help his mother out of her suffering.
As time passed, Baimu grew older. Finally, one day, he mustered up the courage and resolutely took up his father's whip, a symbol of authority and violence. But the target of his whip wasn't anyone else, but his beloved mother! He whipped his mother so cruelly, hoping to alleviate her pain a little.
Deep within Bai Mu's heart, his longing for his mother burned like a raging fire. But to give his mother a slightly better life, he buried his true self, disguising himself as a domineering, ungrateful brat. Every day, he raised his whip high and mercilessly lashed at his mother. All this was done to stop his grandmother and father from abusing Bai Mu's mother.
He is thin and his two short legs look short and weak compared with his peers, but his determined eyes reveal a maturity far beyond his age.
Every day, when someone from the village headed for the county town, the little boy would quietly follow behind. Though he ran as hard as he could, his short legs couldn't keep up with the speed of the wheels. But he never gave up. Each time, he would carve a mark on a tree by the roadside, desperately memorizing the route in his mind. Day after day, year after year, time slipped by.
Three years later, the little boy celebrated his eighth birthday. That year, he finally found the way from the village to the county town!
One night, while the entire village was immersed in sweet dreams, a little boy embarked on a long journey to the county town alone. Along the way, he overcame countless difficulties and fears: the unknown in the darkness, the rugged road, and the loneliness in his heart... But he had only one belief in his heart: he must reach the county police station and report the crime.
After several hours of arduous journey, the little boy finally reached his destination. When he walked into the police station, breathless, the officers on duty were astonished. They quickly understood the situation and took action, ultimately rescuing all the trapped people. Meanwhile, the entire village was devastated by the arrests, and the rest of the villagers had left, leaving the village deserted.
During the investigation, the police asked the boy about his mother and produced some photos for him to identify. The boy remained silent, finally saying simply, "I want to live in an orphanage. I don't want to remind my mother of those painful memories." He also made a small request: to be admitted to an orphanage in the city where his mother lived. Hearing this, everyone present was astonished.
Ms. Xiao yelled, "You are talking nonsense, you are talking nonsense..."
Zhang Xiaojia took a deep breath, stared at the other person, and continued, "Don't you really know? When Bai Mu picked up the whip for the first time, wasn't it because of your instigation? After you rescued him from the predicament, deep down in your heart you didn't want this child to become a stain in your life. So, you kept telling yourself that this child is a devil! Only by thinking this way can you slightly alleviate some of the guilt in your heart. Because as long as you believe that the child is a devil, then your behavior of abandoning him seems to become forgivable, and even you yourself can get a little comfort from it, thereby paralyzing your already uneasy heart.
But, it's really not your fault! After all, Bai Mu was not the child you had been waiting for to be born. You were forced to give birth to him. How can you ask every mother to love a child who is not her true hope?
Ms. Xiao burst into tears. It was not her fault that she did not love her child.
"But, your youngest son killed someone, and you asked Baimu to take the blame, so it's your fault. You can not love Baimu, but you have no right to hurt him. He doesn't owe you anything, he never owed you anything."
Police cars sirens blared from afar. Zhang Xiaojia looked at Bai Mu on the screen and said, "You don't belong in that city. I think you should go to the old city. That's where you belong. Your parents-in-law will love you like their own son. You'll have brothers-in-law, a wife who loves you, a pair of lovely children, and a happy family. Keep your original aspiration and forge ahead."
[I don’t know how to put it! But the human traffickers deserve to die.]
【Human traffickers deserve death】
【Human traffickers deserve death】
Zhang Xiaojia felt that he had rested enough, so he packed up the wooden house, picked up the tablet and set off.
There were still some people along this stretch of road. When people looked at Zhang Xiaojia, she rolled her eyes. "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen someone get struck by lightning?" If it were the first day, Zhang Xiaojia would definitely be embarrassed, but now! Haha, she's getting thick-skinned.
She actually walked to the market in the countryside, looked at the fried cakes, sticky rice cakes, and fried skewers, and she felt hungry and wanted to eat...
Got it!
I just complained to God in my heart, and then I saw myself being drenched by the rain.
"Boss, give me 10 yuan for fried carrot balls. How many more can I put in the bag?"
The boss looked at her in amazement, and without stopping, he filled a bag for her. He handed it to Zhang Xiaojia in the rain, and Zhang Xiaojia put the meatballs into the bag.
The boss actually didn't dare to take the money. Just now, there were thunders all around the girl, and suddenly it started to rain. "Take it and eat it. It's free."
Zhang Xiaojia looked at the boss's face and said, "Let's go back home today! I can see my mother for the last time."
When the boss heard this, he felt a pang in his heart. His mother had been ill for a long time and his wife was taking care of her. Two days ago, his wife called and said that his mother was not feeling well. He didn't take it seriously. This happened too many times and he was very panicked. He immediately packed up his things and went home.
She bought fried rice cakes, stinky tofu, candied haws, milk tea, ice cream, fried chicken nuggets, and braised pork feet. The people here were very nice and didn't charge her any money, so she couldn't even spend a hundred yuan.
Zhang Xiaojia bought everything just like that.
He looked up and said to Tiandao Dad, "Tiandao Dad, I was wrong."
Zhang Xiaojia was eating fried meatballs, which were really delicious and made with real ingredients. The biggest advantage of reading a person's face is that you can tell whether the boss is using real ingredients.
Zhang Xiaotian and Zhang Xiaoming bought all the food that Zhang Xiaojia had bought. This little idiot always buys the best food. There is nothing wrong with following her.
When Zhang Xiaojia saw the roasted whole lamb, her mouth was watering and she couldn't walk anymore. This was a car stall selling roasted whole lamb for 999 yuan each. She didn't have any and she wanted to eat it.
After looking at the people behind him, he shouted, "Brother Xiaotian, come and pay, I want to eat roasted whole lamb."
Zhang Xiaotian came over and said, "It's such a big roasted lamb, we can't finish it."
Zhang Xiaojia took the phone and went to complain to his uncle.
Zhang Xiaotian said unhappily, "I'll buy it."
The roasted whole lamb owner said cheerfully, "Girl, this is the last roasted whole lamb. It was reserved by an old customer and there are no more today."
Zhang Xiaojia waved his hand and said, "No, that guy fell off his electric scooter and can't come. This one must be mine."
After a while, the owner of the roasted whole lamb restaurant received a video and saw a customer bandaging his wound in the hospital.
Seeing Zhang Xiaotian put the roasted whole lamb into the RV, Zhang Xiaojia was dumbfounded, "Brother, isn't this lamb for me?"
They walked all the way until night and arrived at a suburban area. Zhang Xiaojia rented a wooden house and moved in. Zhang Xiaotian brought down a roasted leg of lamb for her.
He gave her a pill and said, "Don't quarrel with Big Brother. Take it and admit your mistake to Big Brother."
Zhang Xiaojia snorted. She wouldn't do that. If her brother didn't admit his fault, she would definitely file a complaint.
After eating the lamb leg, she was still very tired. She had walked 60 kilometers today and her legs were sore! After taking the pill and eating it, her body felt relaxed. She lay on the recliner and watched the video.
When she arrived at the courtyard, she was stunned by the scene before her. She saw the handsome ghost messenger engaged in a fierce battle with her brother, Zhang Xiaoqi. The two exchanged sharp blows, but it was clear that her brother was gradually losing the upper hand and seemed to be struggling.
Seeing his brother in danger, Zhang Xiaojia shouted without hesitation, "Father Tianlei! Come help us!" Before he could finish his words, the sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds, lightning, and thunder. A thick bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, striking directly towards the ghost messenger He Fei. With a loud bang, He Fei was struck by the sudden thunderbolt.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Xiaojia rushed forward and quickly protected her brother behind her. Seeing He Fei being struck by the thunder, she wondered, "This shouldn't be the case! The thunder shouldn't hurt him!" Did she miscalculate?
She picked up a rope beside her, tied He Fei up quickly, and dragged him into the yard.
Zhang Xiaojia quickly felt his pulse and found nothing wrong! She then stripped him of his clothes and found nothing wrong either. He was a liar, just pretending.
"Why did you hit my brother?" Zhang Xiaojia asked curiously, "You can't hit him. He will be your brother-in-law in the future. I want to hit him, but he is the next generation of Heavenly Master. I have to beg for food under him, do you understand?"
He Fei looked at Jia Jia with resentment. She actually used lightning to strike him for Zhang Xiaoqi.
Zhang Xiaojia continued to explain, "Don't pretend. Although I don't understand why I know you're not afraid of thunder and it can't hurt you, it's wrong for you to hit my brother. I won't do that again next time, understand?"
He Fei nodded slightly.
Zhang Xiaojia looked into He Fei's eyes and immediately knew that he couldn't talk to her.
Zhang Xiaojia asked tentatively, "Can't you talk to me?"
Jia Jia is really smart. He Fei smiled but didn't say anything.
Zhang Xiaojia climbed onto He Fei's body without hesitation and began to feel around him, trying to find out information about his identity, muttering to herself, "What's his name? What's his name?" She looked so anxious, as if there was something extremely important waiting for her to uncover.
Time passed minute by minute, and Zhang Xiaojia searched every corner of He Fei's body, but still couldn't find the answer she wanted.
Why didn’t this ghost messenger have any identity information on him? Zhang Xiaojia was too lazy to bother anymore and just lay in his arms to rest.
Zhang Xiaojia didn't notice when He Fei untied the rope. When she noticed it, He Fei had already carried her to the bed. He patted her back gently, and within a few seconds, Zhang Xiaojia fell asleep.
Zhang Xiaoqi stood at the door and said with a gloomy face, "I wonder what the Southern Ghost Emperor is doing here!"
According to the original owner's temper, he would have killed Zhang Xiaoqi directly, but now it is not possible. This person is his brother-in-law and he cannot touch him, otherwise Jiajia will fight him to the death.
This world is a world of punishment!!!
In the previous world, during a holographic livestream, he mercilessly murdered someone! This act caused an outcry. According to the Quick Travel Bureau, this despicable act undoubtedly had an extremely negative impact on society. They recklessly killed people in the holographic world, completely disregarding the consequences, setting a profoundly negative example. Most horrifyingly, this scene was witnessed by numerous children, profoundly shocking their young minds. They were subtly indoctrinated into violence and killing, losing their proper respect for life. Over time, some children began to lose the clear distinction between the real world and the holographic one. They brought the virtual killing into real life, triggering a series of tragic murders. These tragedies plunged society into panic and chaos, and people developed a deep fear and suspicion of holographic technology. Forced to act, the relevant authorities took emergency measures and immediately halted its use. While this decision temporarily prevented further deterioration, it also delayed the development of holographic technology by a full decade.
There is no other way. The quick-travel game requires punishment from three worlds. He has been in a state of amnesia, so he will punish Jiajia for the first three years without any memory. His punishment is very simple. During the three years, he cannot talk to Jiajia or give Jiajia any hints. He can only stay with Jiajia for one hour every day.
He Fei said coldly, "Jia Jia walks for eight hours every day. Even if lightning strikes Jia Jia's body, it won't be able to strike 24 hours a day."
Zhang Xiaoqi nodded to indicate that he understood.
He Fei left instantly.
Zhang Xiaojia was awakened by the screams. She opened her eyes drowsily. It was still dark and there were constant screams outside. She had no way to go out and see what was going on.
The couple outside screamed even louder when they saw her.
Zhang Xiaojia yelled "Shut up"
The girl asked timidly, "Are you a human or a ghost?"
"Humanity"
The girl continued, "Why can't we come in?"
Zhang Xiaojia said angrily, "This is my home, why do you want to come in?"
The girl said angrily, "What do you mean your family? This land belongs to our village. When did it become yours?"
Zhang Xiaojia looked at her and said, "I'm leaving tomorrow. Shut up and stop arguing. I'm going to sleep."
Zhang Xiaojia ignored the two of them and went straight back to the house to pick up the spell book given by the old man. He found the silent note, drew the silent note, pasted it up, and fell asleep.
After a sound sleep, she slowly awoke only when the sky began to turn pale in the east and sunlight streamed through the window onto her bed. Stretching deeply, she quickly rose, washed, and carefully dressed. Once everything was ready, she carefully picked up the tablet and chanted a spell, and as if by magic, the exquisite wooden house slipped into her pocket.
After doing all this, she took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to shout loudly: "Zhang Xiaoqi - Zhang Xiaoqi - Zhang Xiaoqi~~" The voice was crisp and loud, echoing in the quiet air of the early morning.
After a while, the window of a luxury RV slowly rolled down, and Zhang Xiaoqi's handsome but slightly tired face peeked out. He frowned slightly and looked at the little idiot in front of him with some dissatisfaction.
Zhang Xiaojia put his hands on his hips and said confidently: "Hey, I risked my life to save you yesterday! As a good kid who knows how to repay kindness, now it's your turn to repay me for saving your life!" After saying that, he blinked mischievously.
Zhang Xiaoqi snorted coldly upon hearing this and retorted, "Humph, since ancient times, people have said that one should show kindness without expecting anything in return. How could someone actively ask for something in return like you?"
Zhang Xiaojia was not happy when he heard this. He immediately jumped up and down and yelled, "Why? I worked so hard to save your life, why can't I ask for a favor? I'm not some compassionate Bodhisattva who saves all living beings. Doing good deeds without leaving a name is not my style at all! Besides, I don't know who said that when you do good things, you have to let people know, otherwise you will suffer a great loss!"
Zhang Xiaoqi cast a Silencing Spell on Zhang Xiaojia, and the world suddenly became quiet. She had saved him yesterday, partly to control him. He cast a Silencing Spell on her and said, "You only need to walk for 10 hours a day, and you can take a car or stay in a cabin for the rest." Watching the little idiot babble silently signing, he added, "Shut up, it will automatically stop in an hour."
Zhang Xiaojia looked at her phone and it was now 6 o'clock. If she walked until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, she could take a bus and get off at 10 o'clock in the evening to sleep. At this speed, she could reach Qingcheng Mountain in three days. It was great. These were all ordinary people. She kept walking like this and was afraid that it would be posted online. Wouldn't it be better for the company to die?
It’s just that Tiandao’s father is too strict, which makes her so embarrassed. He is stingy and dictatorial. She really hopes to be like Xiaomi and have everything she wants!
"Brother, does that little idiot know she's being splashed by the rain?"
