God's Gift

Lu Keming and Yu Youyou's eyes met. He paused for a few seconds, smiled and nodded, and replied, "Okay."

After saying that, he held Yu Youyou in his arms and walked straight towards Chen Qingqiu's house.

Arriving at Chen Qingqiu's house, Lu Keming knocked on Chen Qingqiu's door. Chen Qingqiu quickly came to open the door. Seeing the strange young man outside the door, he was puzzled for a second, but quickly reacted and asked politely, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

Lu Keming glanced at Chen Qingqiu and did not answer his question. He just turned his head to look behind him and asked Yu Youyou in his arms: "Youyou, is she here?"

Yu Youyou nodded, then patted his hand with her paw, signaling Lu Keming to put her down.

"Who?" Chen Qingqiu was a little confused by Lu Keming's inexplicable words.

Lu Keming did not answer his question, but followed Yu Youyou's instructions and put her on the ground.

Yu Youyou looked at the female ghost staring at Chen Qingqiu from behind, walked towards her with her short legs, raised her head and asked, "You want to know who you are, right? Try again."

There was some confusion in the female ghost's scarlet eyes, and she looked at Yu Youyou in confusion. Lu Keming's gaze also moved to Yu Youyou. He lowered his eyes, and his thick eyelashes blocked his eyes, hiding his thoughts.

"Squat down." Yu Youyou raised her paw and waved to the female ghost.

The female ghost stood for a long time, and finally squatted down slowly and looked at Yu Youyou.

But after she squatted down, Yu Youyou immediately raised her paw and placed her fleshy paw on the ghost girl's forehead.

The moment her claws touched Achou, the ghost girl's scarlet left eye lit up with a blue light. The blue light became brighter and brighter, suppressing the scarlet in her eyes, and finally completely occupied the ghost girl's pupil.

The female ghost was about to resist, but in the blue, some fragmented images emerged and gradually pieced together.

Gradually she remembered her name.

Li Achou.

Achou was born in Lijia Village. Because of the birthmark on his face, he was disliked by the villagers since childhood.

She was like a grain of dust. No one saw her when she was raised, and no one cared when she fell.

But Chen Tu's situation was much better than hers, because because of the birthmark on her face, she had never lived a normal day in life.

Achou is more like a rat in the gutter. He is hated by the villagers because of the ugly birthmark on his face. However, those disgusted looks and the canes falling on his body are deeper birthmarks than the birthmark on his face. This birthmark is on his heart.

She is a living wandering soul who hates the whole world but does not have the courage to die. She just lives her life in a miserable and hopeless way.

Chen Qingqiu appeared in the summer of that year.

He was wearing a white shirt, a pair of gold glasses, and dragging a black suitcase. He went to the village to ask for directions and said he was a new volunteer teacher.

That day, many people in the village gathered on the roadside, looking at the new teacher curiously, because Chen Qingqiu was really handsome, the most handsome man the villagers had ever seen.

Ah Chou stood far away on the outskirts of the crowd, looking at Chen Qingqiu, who was the center of attention, and felt a little dazed.

If she was as pretty as he was, could she live like a human being?

She didn't know because she had never looked good.

Her father asked her to herd cattle. She watched there for a while and then was slapped in the face.

A loud slapping sound was heard outside the crowd. The villagers looked back and found that it was Achou's father beating Achou again. They turned their heads away in boredom and continued to look at the teacher with curiosity.

Ah Chou's face was slapped crooked and quickly swelled up. She listened numbly to her father's insults.

Chen Qingqiu inside seemed to have heard the sound and looked outside, but the surrounding crowd blocked his view.

He dragged his suitcase with difficulty and squeezed through the crowd, "Everyone, make way. I have to go find the village chief."

As soon as Chen Qingqiu moved, the people around him noticed his lame leg. For a moment, everyone sighed, feeling sorry for the teacher who had to suffer such a fate at such a young age.

Ah Chou turned his eyes, looked at Chen Qingqiu's lame leg, and suddenly laughed, with a malicious pleasure in his heart rising wildly.

No matter how pretty his face is, he's still a cripple, what's the difference between him and her?

But unfortunately, even though Chen Qingqiu was a cripple, he was still tolerated by the villagers because of his face.

And Ah Chou still stayed in her own stinking ditch, rotting day by day.

But she was not completely rotten. When she was not herding cattle, she would run outside the school to listen to the teachers' lectures inside.

In fact, A Chou didn't know the meaning of going to school, but her parents didn't let her go to school, so she just wanted to go, just to be like those students who looked down on her.

There are only two teachers in this school. Chen Qingqiu has a lot of classes. Sometimes he would see Ah Chou sitting outside the window, taking notes in an old notebook he picked up.

Ah Chou taught himself to write, and his handwriting is crooked, so he learns much slower than the other students.

Whenever Chen Qingqiu saw Achou coming, he would slow down his teaching pace.

He talked a lot, not only about the contents of the book, but also about what was outside the book, the outside world, the rapidly developing technology, and the colorful culture.

He lectures very well and students are always fascinated by his lectures.

Achou was also fascinated.

That was something she had never seen or thought about while trapped in this village.

Sometimes she even began to fantasize that she was living in such a world.

The days went by like this day by day.

Chen Qingqiu lived at the easternmost end of the village. He would pass by her house every time he went home from school. And every time he passed by after school, Achou was often being beaten.

If she wasn't being beaten, she would also be scolded. People would call her ugly and a loser. The language used in the village was something the city teacher had never heard of. Sometimes he would be so scared by the dirty words that he would quicken his pace.

Ah Chou looked at his departing back, smiled maliciously, and then was beaten even harder.

When autumn just arrived, the big dog in Achou's family gave birth to a litter of puppies. When the puppies were old enough to leave the litter, she took the best-looking one and gave it to Grandma Li, who had always told her to keep the dog.

Achou actually doesn't like dogs because she is not even as good as a dog.

But Grandma Li liked it very much. She gave Achou some money and a basket of eggs to her. Before leaving, she asked Achou to help deliver a piece of bacon to Chen Qingqiu.

Grandma Li said that the new teacher Chen in the village was alone and helpless here, with poor legs and feet. He looked very pitiful, so she wanted to take care of him more.

Achou didn't feel sorry for him, but she still gave Chen Qingqiu the piece of bacon.

When he went there, Chen Qingqiu was not at home, so Ah Chou went straight into his room and threw the bacon on Chen Qingqiu's desk. When he was about to leave, he saw a box on his desk.

The box was packaged very delicately. Achou took a look and walked over to open the box.

The box contained some small items, including a few packs of mooncakes and some other food. At the bottom was a letter signed by Zhang Shiqi.

After looking for a while, Achou wanted to close the box and leave, but before leaving, he saw a pen in the box. The pen was in a box and looked very expensive.

Achou's mother bought many pens for her younger brother, including this one, but she could only pick up the pens left by her younger brother to use. This was the first time she saw a new one.

Ah Chou really wanted it, so she just took it.

She knew it was stealing, but she didn't feel any guilt or shame. Morality is for people to use, and since no one treated her as a human being, what was the point of her having such a sense of shame?

The more others forbid her to do something, the more she does it.

Just like that mountain, the villagers never allowed women to go up the mountain, so she went up the mountain, saw the Buddhist temple and the so-called Ten Thousand Faces Buddha on the mountain, and found that it was just a pile of broken clay sculptures.

The Buddhist temple had no meaning, but she would still sneak up the mountain when no one noticed. That rebellious feeling made her rarely happy.

Just like this time, she took Chen Qingqiu's pen.
