Our village is famous for its pearls.
My mother, who was recognized as a pearl girl in the village, once took out a pearl the size of a fist and became famous.
A few years later, the mother became pregnant with a child, and her belly was bulging.
On the occasion of giving birth, she dreamed of a beautiful fairy who promised to entrust her with a lucky star.
However, after we are born, it is difficult to tell who is the lucky star.
It wasn't until my sixth birthday, when my brother and I had to pick a mussel shell, that the mystery was revealed.
God, don't worry, the mussel shells prepared for you by my mother are all of the best quality, and they will definitely bloom huge pearls! ”
Mother said as she happily dressed her brother in new clothes.
Chen Tianci glanced at the red clothes on his body, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
It's annoying, I'm the reincarnation of a lucky star, and I still need your help to prepare? ”
The mother rubbed her hands, her face was full of flattering smiles, and she nodded again and again, "Yes, my family is a blessing star!" ”
I stood with my head bowed, my hands clutching the corners of my clothes.
It's not decided yet, maybe I'm also a lucky ......”
As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent for a moment, followed by shrill laughter.
I raised my head suddenly, only to see Chen Tianci leaning forward and backward with laughter, and even rolling on the ground.
My mother stood beside him, staring at me like a torch.
Lady Chen, it seems that I have been too good to you recently! ”
How dare you covet the position of the Heavenly Blessed Star? ”
She walked briskly, tugging at my hair and walking to the mirror.
Look at you, skinny, and dare to call yourself a lucky star? ”
I kept my head down, shrunk and didn't dare to say anything.
The mother snorted coldly, threw me to the ground, and returned to her precious son.
I staggered up from the floor, and as soon as I walked into the kitchen, I saw a mussel shell suddenly jump out of the basin.
I walked over curiously, and as soon as I picked up the clam shell, I was hit by a wooden board on the back of my hand.
Chen Daya, you have a long ability! Dare to steal your brother's mussel shell! ”
My mother's eyes widened, and she picked up a stick from the side and hit me.
I didn't, I didn't take it! ”
However, my mother didn't listen to my explanation at all and waved her stick like crazy.
It wasn't until I fainted that she threw away the stick, picked up the mussel shell and threw it back into the basin.
At the beginning of the birthday party, the villagers came to my yard in advance in order to get the light of the lucky star.
After a simple hosting, the climax came, but I didn't show up for a long time.
Seeing that Chen Tianci's face was becoming more and more impatient, my mother scolded and rushed into the firewood room, doused me with water, dragged me out like a dead dog, and threw me on the ground.
Village Chief, everyone is here, let's start! ”
The village chief glanced at me on the ground, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he walked up to Chen Tianci with a basin of water.
Chen Tianci picked one at random, and then threw a small mussel shell in front of me like a charity.
I tried to struggle, but the cheers of the villagers drowned out my voice.
The mussel shell selected by Chen Tianci hides a huge pearl, and mine, naturally, is empty.
I lay on the ground, looking at Chen Tianci in the crowd, and an indescribable bitterness surged in my heart.
That mussel shell was obviously taken by me, how did it become his?
The villagers didn't care about it.
All they know is that the appearance of a lucky star in the village means that the days of prosperity are coming.
My mother was immersed in the flattery of the villagers, but her eyes were slanted towards me, full of sinister and vicious.
That night, she asked my father to throw me in the back mountain to feed the wolves.
Maybe I didn't deserve to die, or maybe I was a disaster.
Instead of hurting me, the wolves took me back to the door.
My mother didn't give up, and asked my father to throw me away several times.
But each time, I found my way home.
My mom watched me cower in the doorway and cry, a hint of hatred flashing in her eyes.
She stepped forward quickly, grabbed my arm roughly, dragged me to the basin, and pressed my head into the water.
You calamity, dare to come back? Just die! Don't try to hurt my son! ”
I wanted to cry, but as soon as I opened my mouth, the water poured in, and I could only instinctively wave my arms.
When my mom saw that I was still struggling, she put her hand on my neck tightly.
Little slut, dare to resist? Today you have to die! ”
At this time, the village goddess hurriedly walked in, and when she saw this, she hurriedly pulled my mother away and rescued me from the water.
Luckily, it came at the right time. ”
The goddess looked at me, and with a sigh of relief, she whispered in my mother's ear, "Cui Niang, this girl can't die, if she dies, there will be no more pearls in the mussel shells in the village!" ”
A trace of doubt flashed in my mother's eyes, her heavenly gift is a lucky star, and with him, there will only be more and more pearls.
However, my dad suddenly rushed out with Chen Tianci in his arms.
Chen Tianci twitched in his arms, foaming at the mouth.
My mother was frightened and knelt down in front of the goddess in a panic and begged her to save her son.
The goddess sighed, came over and pressed on my abdomen, giving me a few artificial breaths.
Wow! I spat out a mouthful of water.
Chen Tianci also came to his senses, looked at my mother in confusion, and asked her what happened.
My mother hugged him, cried bitterly, and then kept kowtowing to the goddess.
The goddess stood up and glanced at me, "Cui Niang, blessings and misfortunes are born together, you should be kind to the eldest girl!" ”
My mom looked at me with disgust in her eyes, but still catered to the goddess and sent her out the door.
Since then, my mom has never thrown me again.
She pushed all the chores of the house to me.
Every day before dawn, I have to get up and make breakfast for the family.
He also helped Chen Tianci carry his schoolbag, sent him to school, and then went home full of hope to wash and feed the pigs.
That day, Chen Tianci came home early from school, and he happily went home and kicked open the kitchen door.
Lady Chen, I'm hungry, you ......Are you writing? ”
I shook my head hurriedly, and my feet involuntarily moved back.
But Chen Tianci didn't give me a chance to explain, he rushed forward, snatched the wooden stick from my hand, and broke it in two.
A disaster star like you deserves to learn? ”
I'm not a scourge! ”
I clenched my fists and glared back at him with an unyielding sparkle in my eyes.
Chen Tianci was stunned for a moment, laughed sinisterly, and then walked to the pool where mussels were raised at home and reached in.
The clam shell caught his hand, and he fell to the ground in pain, crying incessantly.
My parents rushed in immediately.
Seeing my baby son's hand swollen like that, my mother slapped me in the face.
Mother, I'm in so much pain. ”
Chen Tianci's words made my mother's eyes instantly glow, and she grabbed me by the back of the neck, dragged me to a pile of broken mussel shells, and forced me to kneel.
There was a piercing pain in my knee, but I couldn't move.
Fragments of mussel shells were embedded in my flesh, digging deeper with a single movement.
Chen Daya, does it hurt? ”
Chen Tianci's eyes were full of pride, and he waved a big chicken leg in his hand, dangling in front of me.
Want to eat? It's a pity you can't eat it, hahaha! ”
Chen Tianci laughed enough, pinched my chin, and forced me to look at him.
Chen Daya, I am the lucky star! ”
You calamity, you want to read and write, in the next life! ”
That day, I knelt all night.
When my mother woke up, she saw me kneeling there and napping, so she picked up a stone and threw it at me.
Chen Daya, letting you kneel is introspective, you dare to sleep! ”
Seeing that I didn't respond, she rolled up her sleeves and strode over, and was about to do it, but saw that my face was as pale as paper.
She suddenly remembered the words of the goddess, hurriedly picked me up, and rushed to the goddess's house.
Seeing that I was dying, the goddess glared at my mother and carried me into the inner room.
The phrase "Disaster Star Destiny" may be true.
I survived.
But my mother still didn't take the goddess's words to heart this time.
I was in bed for less than a day before she dragged me up and threw me all the dirty clothes at home.
Soon, a year passed, and it was my birthday and Chen Tianci's birthday, and it was also the day when the mussel shells in the village produced pearls.
Early in the morning, the whole village is filled with festivities, and the villagers are dressed in new clothes and go to the square.
Chen Tianci was even more dressed up and stood in the square proudly**.
After the sacrificial ceremony, the most exciting moment arrives.
Chen Tianci washed his hands, confidently walked to the vat in the square, and reached in.
A flash of golden light flashed.
The villagers immediately swarmed up and gathered in front of the vat.
However, the sight in front of them made them all stunned, and their faces were full of disbelief.
The mussel shells in the vat opened one after another, but there were no beads, and the mussel meat began to turn black and emit a foul smell.
How ......How so? ”
Chen Tianci held back his nausea, approached the edge of the tank, and examined the mussel shells inside.
He is a lucky star, he should let the clam shell produce more beautiful pearls, why is he all dead?
My mother was too late to make braised pork for Chen Tianci.
She smelled the stench in the square, wrinkled her nose silently, and then rubbed her hands together and walked over to the village chief.
Village Chief, with my son here, this pearl must be bad! ”
Good? It's so good that the mussels are dead! ”
Sister-in-law Zhao, who has always been at odds with my mother, glanced at my mother contemptuously and spat at the vat.
What else do you say about the fairy dream, the lucky star comes into the world! ”
It is really our blessing to have such a lucky star! ”
Hearing Sister-in-law Zhao's comment on Chen Tianci, my mother was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves and was about to argue with her, but fortunately she was stopped by the village chief and brought to the vat.
Cui Niang, Sister-in-law Zhao is not wrong, what is wrong with God? ”
My mother was holding the edge of the tank, and her mouth kept muttering that it was impossible, impossible.
Just as the scene was at a stalemate, Chen Tianci suddenly rushed into the crowd and dragged me to the village chief.
Grandpa the village chief, it's her, it's her! ”
I remembered that I saw her touch this vat before. ”
It must be her, the scourge, so these mussels are dead! ”
I was stunned, looked up to meet the examining gaze of the village chief, and shook my hand in a panic.
My mother walked briskly, her hands whipping my face.
It's all you, you scourge! Why do you want to harm me! ”
My mother was tired, raised her foot and kicked me aside, ran back to Chen Tianci, and hugged him tightly.
She tearfully accused me of being a disaster, and Chen Tianci helped me on the side.
Talking about all the things I have been doing since I was a child, as long as I touch the mussels, those mussels will die.
The people of the village are suffering huge losses, and listening to their words, it seems that they have found a target to vent their anger.
They slowly stepped forward and surrounded me in the middle.
Chief! I can't keep this scourge star! ”
If we keep her any longer, our village will be finished! ”
The villagers threw stones at me or kicked me outright as they spoke.
I shrunk up, carefully hiding my head in my arms, tears welling up from the corners of my eyes.
It's not me, it's really not me. ”
It hurts, can you stop fighting. ”
But no one heeded my excuses, and they took all their anger out on me.
I shrunk back and buried my head in the crook of my arm, tears welling up from the corners of my eyes.
It's not me, it's really not me. ”
It hurts, can you stop fighting. ”
But my justifications went unheeded, and they poured out all their anger on me.
The village chief pondered for a moment, and finally waved his hand: "Burn it." ”
The villagers immediately took action, tied me to a pillar in a few strokes, and piled up firewood.
Just as the village chief was about to order the fire to be lit, a little girl broke free from her mother's hand and fell to her knees in front of the village chief.
Village chief, no, this matter has nothing to do with the eldest girl! ”
I've been with the big girl this morning, and she hasn't touched that vat at all! ”
I looked up at the little girl, it was Xiaomi, my only friend in the village.
But the village chief didn't believe her words, only that she couldn't bear to see me die.
Xiaomi was anxious and pulled her mother to the village chief.
Mother, tell the village chief quickly, didn't you also see the eldest girl washing clothes by the river all morning? ”
Xiaomi's mother glared at her, then finally nodded hesitantly and told me what she had seen me in the morning.
With these two witnesses, I was finally cleared of suspicion.
As for the dead mussel shells, the villagers can only consider themselves unlucky.
That night, I covered my red and swollen face, and was about to go out to find some herbs that my grandmother told me to put on them, but I saw my mother quietly go out.
Curious, I followed her and found that she had gone to the priest's house.
Soon, the village chief also hurried in.
Mother-in-law, what now? ”
If you hadn't said that blessing and misfortune depend on each other today, the disaster star would definitely not be left behind! ”
My mother's tone was cold.
The village chief sighed, "If you let her go on like this, the village will be ruined, goddess, you have to think of a way!" ”
There was a brief silence in the room.
Just as I was about to get up to leave, the goddess suddenly spoke.
Now the only way is to find a girl of the right age in the village to sacrifice. ”
My eyes widened, my body slid down the wall, one hand tightly covering my mouth so as not to make a sound.
Over the years, there have been girls in the village who have gone missing, and they are all the same age as me.
And I am what they call a disaster.
They want me to die, and I must be the one who will sacrifice me!
