no light

Chapter 24

That nonsensical dream still haunted her.

Wen Yu just sat there, staring at the dawn.She finished her work and went to school as usual, but she was absent-minded all the time.

Today's weather is very good, the sun is basking in the warmth, which adds a bit of warmth to the cold winter.While breathing, mist came out.

It's winter now, and Uncle Chai just left the mountain yesterday. Before leaving the mountain, he told Wen Yu that he would bring something delicious for Wen Yu when he came back.

Wen Yu was not at home for school yesterday, and the old Laizi came. He has been following Wen Yu for a while.

Lao Laizi lives in the corner of the south of the village and often wanders around.

Once by chance, Lao Laizi saw Wen Yu coming out of Uncle Chai's shop with a bamboo basket on his back, which made Lao Laizi miss him all the time.

Although Wen Yu was still thin and weak at that time, it didn't hinder his appearance.

Lao Laizi was greedy and wanted to make a move several times, but he was afraid that Uncle Chai would be guarding Wen Yu.Seeing it but not being able to eat it, Lao Laizi could only turn around and stretch out his hand to another target with embarrassment.

Lao Laizi can't farm without working, but he has money, the family property passed down from his ancestors.Everyone in the village felt that Lao Laizi was born into the wrong family. Lao Laizi was so ugly that he didn't look like his parents at all.

Lao Laizi's parents passed away a long time ago, and now there is only Lao Laizi in his family. If Lao Laizi doesn't leave a son, his family's blood will be cut off here.

Now Laizi is old, whoever is serious about raising a daughter is willing to marry his daughter to such a person.But there will still be people who give birth to girls and don't want them, so they go to Lao Laizi to sell them.

Of course, Lao Laizi agreed, and when the girl was brought up to three or four years old, she was taken to Lao Laizi's place.I heard that Lao Laizi has evil habits and likes to abuse/beat them.Watching them cry, Lao Laizi will be excited.

It is not clear whether it is a rumor, but every night I can hear the childish and suppressed crying.Most of the children were buried shortly after they went to Lao Laizi's place.

From Lao Laizi's point of view, now is a good time, Wen Yu is a big girl.Uncle Chai left the village for another winter, but he didn't believe that he married Wen Yu home and made Wen Yu pregnant.Can Uncle Chai kill him?

With this idea in mind, Lao Laizi came to visit with money.

Wen Yu's mother and father quickly agreed. According to the parents' order and the matchmaker's words, after all, Wen Yu is also a child of his Wen family.

This marriage is decided by the parents, what qualifications does Uncle Chai have.

So it was a final decision, and Wen Yu was sold to that old rascal.

Everyone in the village felt that Lao Laizi was unlucky, and they all stayed away from him, and they didn't want to have too much contact with Lao Laizi.

If a child is disobedient, some adults will scare the child, telling the child that if he is disobedient, he will become like an old rascal.He also said that if he was disobedient, he would be taken away by Lao Laizi and eaten by him.

Naturally, Wen Yu had also heard about Lao Laizi, so every time he went to Uncle Chai, he would not stay long, and Uncle Chai would stand at the door and watch Wen Yu step onto the bridge before returning to the store.

Uncle Chai knew that Lao Laizi liked good-looking people, and he was afraid that Lao Laizi would play tricks on him.As long as Wen Yu is around here, he will always protect Wen Yu.

Lao Laizi coveted Wen Yu for too long, so naturally he couldn't wait for a moment.

He asked Wen Yu's parents to send Wen Yu today.

He knew everything about Wen Yu's family very well. He knew that they would not refuse his conditions, and they would definitely agree to them.Take the money from selling her daughter to support their precious son.

As for Uncle Chai, Uncle Chai had to take care of him when the raw rice was cooked.Wen Yu's father has concerns about Uncle Chai, and this is what Lao Laizi asked.Lao Laizi doesn't mind taking this matter on himself. As the saying goes, lascivious and daring, Lao Lai has his own heart and mind, planning everything in his heart, so that nothing will go wrong.

In this way, he could buy Wen Yu cheaper, and Lao Laizi thought it was a good deal.

In the daytime, if there is light, Xu Jianing cannot be seen, and Wen Yu has been waiting for dusk.While in class, Wen Yu's right eyelid twitched, and suddenly a teacher called her out, saying that something had happened at her home, and told her to go home quickly and take a look, and even dragged her to call her brother.

Wen Yu felt something was wrong, this incident was too sudden, but there seemed to be nothing wrong with what the teacher did.And there was nothing weird about the teacher's expression and Brother Wen's expression.

Brother Wen kept urging Wen Yu to go back with an anxious expression on his face, and the teacher also kept staring at Wen Yu, urging Wen Yu.Wen Yu was directly dragged away by Brother Wen. Brother Wen's strength was terrifying, and Wen Yu couldn't break free no matter what.She hasn't left a note for Xu Jianing yet, so tell her.

When he got home, Wen Yu was pushed and locked into the house.

Wen Yu hadn't realized what happened. She slammed on the door and shouted, but no one answered her.Wen Yu was anxious, she watched the sun slowly go down outside.Wen Yu looked around, but found that there was no sickle or ax in the house.The sharp things were taken away by them.

What exactly are they trying to do?

After a while, Grandma's voice sounded outside the door.

"Wen Yu, today is a great day for you. We have already received the gift money from others. You must live a good life when you get married."

Wen Yu almost lost control, his eyes were red, and his hands were clenched tightly into fists. "Why do you arrange my marriage privately!"

Wen Yu bit his lip tightly, and he didn't feel any bleeding after biting it.

She knew that they would not listen to her words, and nothing could be resolved.

bride price?Whose bride price?Sold me and said it so nicely.Who would offer the dowry so that I, the person involved, would not know about it, and no news would come out from the village, and they would trick me from school to home.

It seems to be a shameful business, so anxious, it seems that it is set for tonight, Wen Yu thought expressionlessly.

After Uncle Chai came out of the mountain, who came to buy him, they didn't say clearly.Wen Yu quickly thought of Lao Lai, and his eyes sank.

Wen Yu sat in front of the mirror, looking at himself.

I have nowhere to go, so I might as well put all my eggs in one basket.

Wen Yu broke the mirror, picked up a sharp piece and hid it in his clothes.The sharp glass pierced Wen Yu's skin, and the blood slowly left behind.The sound of the mirror falling to the ground immediately alarmed Grandma, and as soon as Grandma came in, she saw Wen Yu standing in front of a pile of mirror fragments and looking at her.

The sun was setting, and Wen Yu had already changed into a red dress and red makeup. She looked really attractive, but this beauty didn't smile.

Wen Yu didn't let anyone in while changing clothes, she wanted to hide the lenses.Grandma felt sorry for the mirror, but what surprised her even more was that Wen Yu cooperated with her well and did not resist.Originally, she wanted to use strong ones, so she even bought the medicine.But seeing Wen Yu cooperate so well, I felt a little guilty for some reason.

"Mom, today is my birthday."

Wen Yu looked up at her, and she was suddenly in a daze. Over the years, Wen Yu was really good, and they never celebrated Wen Yu's birthday.Today is Wen Yu's birthday, but he is getting married.

Aunt Wen Yu's heart softened suddenly, after thinking about it, she still didn't give Wen Yu the medicine.

There were not many people who came to pick up Wen Yu, just two bearers and a mother-in-law who led the way. Lao Laizi really did a great job to Wen Yu.

Wen Yu got into the sedan chair, she didn't owe them anything anymore, and she would never be surnamed Wen in the future, she hated them and also hated this surname.The wedding dress and the sedan chair, everything here makes Wen Yu feel sick.Together with the sedan chair, it quickly attracted the attention of many people.

"Whose family has a happy event?"

"Hey, I just heard that Wen Yu's family sold Wen Yu."

"Hey, guess who it is, it's that old Lai.

Doesn't this toad want to eat swan meat? "

There was a lot of discussion around, and of course Wen Yu heard it too.

"Did they take advantage of Uncle Chai's absence..."

The sedan chair came to the bridge step by step, and it was completely dark at this time. "Wait, stop."

Xu Jianing waited for Wen Yu on the playground, but found that Wen Yu never came.

Far away outside, there seemed to be a happy event happening in the village, Xu Jianing didn't pay much attention to it, it happened before.What she cares about now is that Wen Yu has never been late, and always comes early to wait for her.

Every time she came, she could see Wen Yu sitting on the ground waiting for her.

She went to check the place where she had agreed to leave the note, but found nothing, Wen Yu didn't leave a note, Xu Jianing felt a little uneasy.

At this moment, the feeling in her heart became stronger, and she felt that she was leaving here soon.

At the entrance of the village, there was a man wearing a black coat covering his face so he couldn't see his face clearly. The man came from a small road. If someone looked closely, he could still recognize him. He was a fortune teller. He was holding a jade ring in his hand. Wen Yu's piece was exactly the same.He seemed a little anxious and was rushing to the school.

The villagers had long been attracted by Wen Yu's happy event, and no one noticed the fortune teller.But Uncle Chai, who was outside the mountain, was inexplicably uneasy, always feeling that something big was going to happen.

Old Laizi's house in the south of the village was pasted with fiery red "囍" characters. Lao Laizi was wearing a groom's attire and was looking forward to where he came from, waiting for Wen Yu to marry him.

The mother-in-law ignored it.

The auspicious time is coming, don't miss the auspicious time, bride.

The bearer still carried the sedan chair and walked forward without stopping for a moment.Wen Yu doesn't care about these things. Did she say that she agreed to marry?

"I said, stop here." Seeing that they were still not stopping, Wen Yu took off his shoes, threw them towards the porter and jumped down, rolling on the ground a few times. Without looking at them, she got up and rushed towards the bridge. She only had one chance anyway, and she must not be caught.Then he jumped down and jumped into the river.

Everything happened so fast that the onlookers didn't even react.

I saw the two bearers rushing towards Wen Yu viciously, and Wen Yu jumped into the river in a red dress on the bridge. sleeve of a robe.

Although it is cold in winter, the river seldom freezes, this is the only retreat that Wen Yu chose for himself.

Seeing this scene, the guide mother-in-law sat slumped on the ground, her eyes glazed over, and she kept muttering, "It's over, it's over."

Everyone was in an uproar.Outside, Uncle Chai had more and more bad thoughts in his heart. Before the business was finished, he left the matter to the trusted junior outside and rushed directly to the village.

Wen Yu fell into the bitingly cold river, feeling chills all over his body.

"Wen Yu, we can't decide our own birth.

So we have no way to decide our own family. "

Xu Jianing's voice rang in his ears, Wen Yu seemed to see Xu Jianing.

"But Wen Yu, you were born as an independent person, not for your parents. Don't be bound by past filial piety."

"You will always be just you. Not their tool."

"You are definitely not the one left, I will always be by your side."

Do not loathe your own birth.

"If possible in the future, I would like to change my surname to Xu."

"Why, want my last name?"

Xu Jianing's smile is still in front of her eyes.

Yu, I have my point.

Xu Yu, Xu me, Xu me Carrian.

When meeting Xu Jianing, Wen Yu felt that he was a freshman.

At that time, Wen Yu just said that he thought Xu Yu was nice, and then changed the subject.Xu Jianing's figure disappeared again, Wen Yu knew it was an illusion, it couldn't be real, there was no way to see Xu Jianing again.

Wen Yu vaguely thought again that the debts owed to Uncle Chai had not yet been paid off, and they would take away all the things they bought from Uncle Chai at a low price.

The water overflowed Wen Yu, and Wen Yu's body was sinking.

Wen Yu controlled his body's survival instinct and allowed himself to step into the coffin and sink to the bottom.

The jade exudes heat and keeps lighting up.

But the person wearing it closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep, never to wake up again.

16 years old is the best age, Wen Yu has a future and aspirations, but everything stops abruptly in her new life, her new day every year.

In the end, Wen Yu's only thought is to wish everyone to be treated with tenderness by the world.
