Big Foot Fairy came to her senses, wiped her tears, walked to her daughter and knelt down, muttering something in a low voice, and stroked her daughter's head with her right hand. We both saw that although she had a look of guilt and pain on her face, she was still very calm, so we did not go forward to disturb her.
I went to the stone wall and helped Shen Bing up. She was still holding her stomach. It was obvious that she was hit hard. But she shook her hand at me and pointed at the big-foot fairy, as if she didn't want to ruin her confession to her daughter.
After a long time, Da Jiaoxian finally let go of her daughter and turned to look at the two of us with a very complicated look. Shen Bing and I looked at each other, not knowing what she wanted to say. At this moment, we also didn't know how to comfort her.
"Qingling's soul is still in the body. The God told me that she is not gone yet and can be resurrected." Big Foot Fairy said softly, like a dream talk, making me suspect that her mind was becoming confused again.
Shen Bing walked up to her, holding her stomach, biting her lip and said, "Sister, please accept my condolences. She is already dead, don't be too sad."
Big Foot Fairy shook his head and said with a determined look, "She really has a chance to be resurrected, but I am conflicted. Should I let her live in pain, or let her die once and for all?"
She said that it was all over. We certainly understand that death may be the best result to forget the insult. But since people have the opportunity to live, why not? The pain will fade with time and it is impossible to become a scar that can never be erased.
"Sister, if she really has a chance to be resurrected, we must make sure she stays strong and alive." I said from the bottom of my heart.
Shen Bing looked at me, and it seemed that she didn't believe that people could be resurrected without going to the underworld. But this time she didn't say anything to refute me, but followed my meaning and said, "Then let her be resurrected quickly. There is no reason for us not to give her a chance to live."
Big Foot Fairy smiled sadly: "Being my daughter is her misfortune. And now she is suffering from humiliation. How can I have the face to let her live in this world? I just talked to her and she doesn't want to live and just wants to die!" After she finished speaking, two lines of tears flowed down, which made us feel very sad.
"Why don't we give it a try and let her survive and forget the painful memories?" I said with a sigh.
Big Foot Fairy looked up to the sky and said, "She doesn't want to live, which makes me feel conflicted. Since the child was born, I have never violated her wishes. If she is resurrected, I am worried that she will suffer for the rest of her life and her life will be worse than death!"
We were both silent. The ability of the Big Foot Fairy to communicate with corpses was more advanced than my ghost skills. But the deceased's unwillingness to be resurrected was not just about forcing her to be resurrected after death, but also against her will and last wishes. This child's experience was tragic. If she was truly resurrected, she would probably have to go through a long and painful recovery period. Who knows if this recovery period would allow her to stand up again
Big Foot Immortal lowered his head and sighed: "I hesitated for such a moment and missed the opportunity. Her soul has been taken away!" He closed his eyes, surprisingly without shedding tears, and his lips moved slightly, as if he was praying for his daughter's soul to be reincarnated.
Shen Bing and I both stood up and saw her daughter's clear face. The face that had once had some color on it had now turned pale. There were tears in the corners of her tightly closed eyes. We felt very sad, knowing that the child was really gone. We couldn't bear to watch any longer. We looked up at the sky, feeling very heavy in our hearts. Shen Bing wiped her tears. I didn't know when she started crying. My nose felt sore and my eyes were a little wet.
We were silent for half an hour, mourning for this poor child. Big Foot Fairy opened her eyes, stared at the sky, and told us about her family's unfortunate past.
Big Foot Fairy was just an ordinary child when she was young, no different from other children in the mountain village. But when she was sixteen, her father became seriously ill. Before he died, he touched her head with his palm and said, "There is no heir in the family, so you will inherit my incense. I still have things to do, and I need you to do them. Everything will be arranged by the gods." After saying these words, he passed away. But from then on, her fate was changed, and she became an abnormal witch in the eyes of ordinary people.
She likes to laugh and live a free life, but as her fate changes, although her laughter is still so innocent, her life is bound. The gods dominate everything about her. The so-called gods are the bosses who convey her will and manipulate her magic power.
The gods told her that being a witch meant a life of loneliness and misery, and that it was better not to marry than being a male shaman. But she wanted to change her fate, but failed and ended up hurting a man. Less than half a year after marrying her, he fell into a well and drowned, leaving her with a posthumous daughter. She endured the pain and lived on, giving birth to a daughter. On the day her daughter was born, she knew that it was very unfortunate for the child to enter this family, and that a more tragic ending would happen to the child in the future.
Sure enough, all this came true, and she regretted letting this child come into this world.
Qingling was very obedient and lovely since she was young, and no one in the village didn't like her. When she grew up, she was pursued by many boys, but the parents of these boys all disagreed, because although the big-foot fairy was respected, her ominous life experience was daunting.
She inherited her father's will, which was to change the temperament of the villagers. It was because of the evil spirit in the well in the village that the villagers became more and more perverse and violent. However, the well was controlled by bad people. She had fought for decades from her father but failed to take it down. There was no good ending in her hands either. But she had been suppressing the evil spirit in the well from going out. This time, the enemy used the ritual I performed to break the Tiangang to anger the evil spirit out of the well.
The Big Foot Fairy then asked her daughter to cut some blood from Xiao Hei and secretly throw it into the well. Because the three wells in the three villages are connected, dog blood can extinguish evil spirits, and with her fighting, the evil spirit will be trapped at the bottom of the well again. Unexpectedly, the villagers discovered Qingling's actions and threw dog blood into the well, which would dirty the holy well, so this tragedy was triggered. This fuse was lit, and in the eyes of the villagers, the Big Foot Fairy immediately changed from a living Bodhisattva to an evil witch!
After hearing her story, I really wanted to hit my head against the wall and die. It was me, an unlucky person, who caused the tragedy. I really feel guilty towards the mother and daughter of Big Foot Fairy. If I had let her treat Wen Dayong's son, none of this would have happened. Although I didn't kill Qingling directly, I have an unshirkable responsibility.
Big Foot Fairy saw my self-blaming expression and comforted me, saying, "You are not wrong. Saving people from danger is our duty as human beings. My fault is mine. I shouldn't have let Qingling go to the well alone to make trouble. If I had waited another half an hour, none of this would have happened after you arrived. Alas, this is all destined..."
Fuck that second uncle’s destiny. I’ve heard enough of this saying. Everything is decided by God. Good things are destined, bad things are destined too. When will we be able to determine our own destiny
