I really don't know anything

Flower Cafe.

Fan Xiaotao twisted the corners of her clothes in a trance, this was her little habit when she felt uneasy and at a loss, her eyes drifted to the door of the store from time to time, as if she was waiting for someone.

Someone came over and put a cup of coffee in front of her.

Fan Xiaotao subconsciously said, "Thank you."

Xu Yu took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and handed it over: "Relax."

They had been colleagues for several years before, and their desks were always next to each other, and they basically knew each other's little habits.

Faced with Xu Yu's concern, Fan Xiaotao forced a smile. Her eyes were dark and black, and she could tell that she hadn't rested for several days.

Fan Xiaotao held the coffee in her hand, the cup was warm and slightly hot, but it warmed her somewhat cold hands: "Sorry, I made you close early because of my business."

Xu Yu shook his head: "The door was about to close, and it was not less than ten minutes away."

Fan Xiaotao took a sip of the coffee, which tasted very bitter without sugar and creamer.Unlike ordinary girls who hate bitter taste, she likes to drink pure black coffee.

She likes black coffee without any modification, which combines the characteristics of sweet glycol, sour, bitter and five flavors.The most important thing is that it is very refreshing, and a cup of it can keep her spirited all night.She works as a programmer and often needs to stay up late.

After the initial bitterness dissipates, what remains is mellow, and the aftertaste of the taste buds is full of sweetness. Compared with the bitterness just now, this sweetness is extraordinarily delicious.

Fan Xiaotao hooked the bangs that fell in front of her eyes behind her ears, and said with a sincere smile on her face: "I didn't expect you to actually open a coffee shop."

Xu Yu used to work overtime with her and type on the keyboard, and when they drank coffee together to refresh themselves during the break, every time he said in a longing tone that he would open a coffee shop in the future.

Later, when Xu Yu's sister died of food poisoning, he resigned.

She was busy with work, and it was not convenient for her to sit next door to talk after they separated. After that, the connection between them became a bit weak. This time, she also hugged the colleague who used to work overtime and stayed up late together, and wanted to find a listener to tell her troubles and troubles. .

Unexpectedly, Xu Yu could really solve it, and even offered to help.

A little girl about three years old ran over from the back of the shop, then crawled into Xu Yu's arms with all her hands and feet, and shouted indistinctly: "Hey."

Xu Yu happily raised her forehead a few times, then hugged her to the opposite of Fan Xiaotao, and introduced her calmly: "This is my sister, Xu Yin."

Fan Xiaotao was stunned: "Xiao Yin is not"

Xu Yin is Xu Yu's younger sister, who died of food poisoning three years ago.

Xu Yu's hand holding his sister was a little tight, and he quickly relaxed his arm when he felt the uncomfortable body in his arms. With doting eyes in his eyes, he said firmly: "She is my sister. , the reincarnation of Xiao Yin."

"The master I introduced to you this time is the one who helped find Xiao Yin." Xu Yu lifted the little girl's collar a little and said, "Look, Xiao Yin was injured here before."

Fan Xiaotao looked over and saw a black birthmark on the little girl's collarbone. The shape was exactly the same as the scar left by Xu Yin who had passed away because of her naughtiness.

But what about reincarnation, it's too supernatural, and when Fan Xiaotao opened his mouth to say something, he thought of the weird things that happened to him, and there was no reason to refute.

Xu Yu and Xu Yin have been dependent on each other since they were young. They are each other's only relatives. After Xu Yin's accidental death, Xu Yu almost collapsed.It doesn't matter whether he is an empath or a real reincarnation, in short, he is living a good life now, that's fine.

jingle.

The wind chime hanging at the door of the coffee shop rang, and Fan Xiaotao stood up reflexively and looked there. Xu Yu had a sharp eye, and after confirming that it was correct, he hurried over to open the door.

Xu Yu led people over. He was the intermediary in this matter, and he was responsible for introducing each other to each other: "Taozi, this is the master I mentioned, surnamed Jun. This is Fan Xiaotao. A strange thing happened to her recently."

Fan Xiaotao was a little stunned after seeing the person clearly. This master is only eighteen or nineteen years old, so he looks very immortal, but isn't his age a bit too young?

It's not that she despises young people, just like programmers don't have to be old employees to be good, some teenage children are sometimes more slippery than they play.

That is, the masters in my impression are all five or sixty years old.

Xu Yu was busy making coffee and entertaining guests. Fan Xiaotao was alone in the face of this young over-the-top master, twisting the corners of his clothes, not knowing where to start.

Jun Xijiu took the initiative to speak: "Can I listen to your story?"

His voice had a strong calming and comforting effect, and Fan Xiaotao immediately relaxed. She hesitated, took a deep breath to adjust her mentality, and began to tell about some weird things that happened to her in the past few days.

"I've been having a strange dream on repeat lately."

Fan Xiaotao dreamed that she had become another person, her soul seemed to be possessed by that girl, or it should be said that she was trapped in that girl.

She could feel all the emotions of that girl, but she couldn't actively communicate with her. She could only passively experience the nightmares and fears aimed at her with the girl.

I don't know the girl's first name, but her mother called her A Tao.Yes, that girl was in ancient times.The exact date is unclear, and it was not mentioned in the dream.

The beginning of the dream is always in a dilapidated room, with the girl curled up on an equally dilapidated bed.The adults thought she was asleep, but she was just pretending to be asleep.

Through A Tao's quietly opened eyes, Fan Xiaotao could see that the quilt and the bed were patched on top of each other, which showed that the conditions of this house were not very good, it was very poor.

A Tao's father did it, smoking a homemade dry cigarette by the bedside, after a while, the room was filled with the choking smell of smoke, and the girl resisted coughing.The man's face was full of sorrow, he was clearly only in his early thirties, but he looked about forty or fifty years old.

"His mother, only Taoya is the only one who matches her horoscope in the whole village, and the village chief gave two taels of silver."

The first sentence without thinking, immediately asked the woman who was sewing beside her to put down her work and cover her face and cry, with uncontrollable sadness and reluctance in her voice.

A Tao really wanted to comfort her mother not to be sad, but she didn't want people to find out that she was awake.A child from a poor family is in charge of the house early, and she needs to do some work within her ability from the time she can walk steadily. If she is found awake, she will definitely let herself go to work. She is very tired from hunting pigweed in the morning, and she wants to sleep more at noon Be lazy for a while.

"Our father needs money when he is sick. If he is seriously ill and unfortunately goes home, he will lose a strong laborer. Our father fell ill because he worked too hard. We can't just let the work in the field go. If I also fall down , how can you mothers live?"

Dad A Tao babbled on as if he was looking for a reason, forcing himself to keep talking, and even repeated some words several times, but he didn't notice it.

A Tao Niang still kept her head down and touched her tears without speaking.

Seeing that his wife was still indifferent, the man paused for a moment, and added another sentence: "His mother, think about our little treasure, once you have money, you can feed him some good food and make up for the shortfall in your mother's womb." "

A peach suddenly stopped crying.

Xiaobao is A Tao's only biological brother, because his mother was born with a weak foundation due to fatigue during pregnancy, and he has been suffering from serious and minor illnesses, and he looks like he can't support him.

Father A Tao saw that A Tao Niang was a little moved, and continued to persuade: "Two taels of silver, we worked hard for a year to save a little more than one or two taels, of which three hundred taels were given to our father for medicine, and the rest"

He is already distributing how to spend Wuying's money.

A Tao Niang turned around and touched A Tao's face, the tears were still streaming down, she seemed to have made a decision in the end, and nodded in agreement: "The head of the family, listen to you." After saying this, she seemed exhausted Empty all the energy and energy, and aged a lot in an instant.

It's understandable that A Tao is a child who can't understand, but Fan Xiaotao is an adult, so she naturally heard something wrong. She felt that this decision seemed to be aimed at A Tao, but A Tao didn't know anything and continued to pretend to be sleepy. Goof off for a while.

She wanted to remind but couldn't make a sound, but could only lie on the bed with A Tao.

A Tao woke up at noon, she was going to find some work to do, but her mother stopped her and let her go out to have fun and relax for a while.A Tao cheered happily, but Fan Xiaotao saw intolerable and strong guilt in her mother's eyes.

It's just that no matter how much she shouted, Ah Tao couldn't hear her.

The village eats two meals a day, breakfast and dinner. After playing wildly for a long time, A Tao came home and found that the dishes on the dinner table were surprisingly rich, including meat!

Meat, a little bit can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year.

Both her mother and his father seemed to suddenly have a strong passion for her. Although there was not a lot of meat, they only touched the lower teeth of the meat, and the rest belonged to A Tao.

A Tao only felt extremely happy, completely unaware of the crisis behind it.

Happiness continued to happen the next day, and her mother actually took out a dress with a red background and white flowers!You must know that the girl in the country only wears trousers for the convenience of work, and her clothes are modified by adults. There are many patches, and the color is very dark and ugly.

After A Tao took a bath, she put on that beautiful dress happily, and instantly felt like a young lady from someone in the city.She will find the village head's daughter to show off later, so she won't be greedy for the other party's skirt, she also has a skirt.

What about red!

The pigments used to dye cloth are very expensive, and most of the clothes worn by the villagers are blue, gray and other monotonous colors. Red cloth is very expensive, not to mention the prints on it.

And, most importantly, her mother bought her a very beautiful tufted head flower, even the village chief's daughter was only tied with a red string!

A Tao felt extremely happy.

But happiness is followed by misfortune.

A Tao was taken away by a bearded man in a long robe. Before he left, the man threw a small silver coin to his father. His father knelt down and kowtowed in surprise.

That's ten taels of silver, so you can afford a big house!

"Father, mother, help me" A Tao yelled desperately, but she was too small and weak to break free from the restraint of the adults, so she was forcefully taken away.

When being carried into the carriage, through the window, she could see her mother crying and his father holding the money, gesticulating and talking with excitement on his face.

A Tao was taken into a big house, and a pretty little sister gave her meat, snacks, and sweet syrup. The food she had never eaten made A Tao temporarily forget her fear. what has been said.

"There will be a better life in the future."

A Tao licked her mouth, the smell of meat and the sweetness of sugar water still remained in her mouth, it would be great if she could take it home for her parents and younger brother to have a bite, she secretly hid some in her clothes, and planned to give it to her when she went back. The family eats.

Such a good day has passed for a month, and the food that A Tao secretly hid at the beginning has long been discovered, but the little maid who served her told her that there is no need to hide it, these things can't be eaten up, and they will send them to her parents of.

The days here are so beautiful. Although I miss my parents and younger brother very much, the comfortable life of being served as a lady is so comfortable that A Tao has no desire to go back.

The maid who had been serving her all this time suddenly told A Tao, "Tomorrow is your wedding day, and your spouse is a fairy. You just need to be obedient and sit in the sedan chair, and you will live a happy life like a fairy in the future."

A Tao is only six years old, she has no concept of marriage at a young age, she only knows that every girl will get married sooner or later, her focus is all on the fairy life.

The current life is already like a fairy, how wonderful the real fairy life should be, A Tao thought happily and agreed happily.

Early the next morning, A Tao was woken up, and the maids waited on her to put on a beautiful bridal gown. Her hair was so thin that it couldn't be tied into the temples, and the maids brought her a small golden tiara inlaid with pearls.

Apply face powder, rouge, and lip balm.

A Tao looked at her beautiful self in the bronze mirror, and believed that the gods would like her, and she would definitely live a better life in the future.

She joyfully sat on a small sedan chair with a strange shape. The inside was so small that she could barely fit her alone. She would touch the crown when she straightened her back and raised her head.

bang bang bang!

The sound of knocking nails made A Tao panic. She stretched out her hand to push the sedan door and found that it was locked. Just as she was about to call for help, she listened to the persuasion of the maid who had been serving her.

"Miss Tao, don't panic, this is the custom of marrying a fairy."

A Tao knows the meaning of customs, she has seen in the village marrying a bride, throwing beans across the brazier and so on, and there are many rules for marrying a fairy.

"Get up~"

The sedan chair wobbled and began to be carried around. The sound of gongs and drums around made A Tao relax. She knew that the lively joy was only for marriage.

I don't know how long the sedan chair stopped.

An old voice was chanting a long paragraph of words that he couldn't understand. A Tao only regarded it as a custom, and there were also respected old people in their village who recited words of blessing when they married.

The words of blessing stopped, and the music that had been playing was changed. A Tao felt that many people were circling around the sedan chair, and there was a strange but rhythmic sound of footsteps.

"The sacrifice begins~"

A Tao suddenly felt flustered.

"Master River God, the bride has been delivered~"

The last sentence A Tao understood, and the panic in her heart disappeared again. It must not be a bad thing, she really wants to marry Lord Immortal.

With the sound of beating and beating, A Tao felt a little strange, and the sedan chair also felt swaying when it was moving, but it was not as bumpy as it was being carried just now.

The soles of the feet were very cold, A Tao looked down.

water.

A lot of water seeped in from under the sedan chair, and it quickly spread to her ankles when she was panicking.A Tao felt scared this time, she desperately wanted to push open the sedan chair door and escape, but remembered that the door was nailed to death just now.

The water spread into the whole sedan chair, A Tao couldn't breathe anymore, she held the beads tightly in her hand, comforting herself in her heart, don't be afraid, she is going to marry the bride of the water god, it must be the water god who came to pick her up up.

But why is it so painful?

Also, why hasn't Lord Water God appeared yet?

When Fan Xiaotao's story reached this point, she suddenly gasped for breath. She clutched her chest, as if she could still experience the suffocation feeling of being submerged and trapped in a sedan chair.

Jun Xijiu reached out and tapped her eyebrows to help her concentrate.

Fan Xiaotao felt her mind go cold for a while, and then she woke up instantly. When she rolled her eyes, she realized that she was not in the sedan chair, but in the coffee shop.

Jun Xijiu contacted the content of the story and asked, "What is your birthday?"

Fan Xiaotao declared her birthday without any hesitation. She had the impression that the master fortune-telling and everything else seemed to require horoscopes, but it was only natural for Jun Xijiu to ask for this information.

Jun Xijiu made a substitution in his head, and sure enough, Fan Xiaotao and A Tao were born in the same horoscope except for their birth dates.

"You should have the bead in A Tao's hand in your dream." A Tao was a sacrifice to the river god, and the bead was used to hold her spirit.

A Tao's living soul was used as a sacrifice to calm the disaster of the river. According to the large section of the sacrificial text, the old man who presided over the sacrifice should be a practitioner.

Jun Xijiu said affirmatively: "There must be, and I only came into contact with it recently."

Fan Xiaotao was stunned for a moment: "No." When she said this, she remembered something and said, "It seems that there is. My grandmother passed away a few days ago, and I have a share of her belongings. I haven't looked carefully yet."

She opened it and took a look. The upper layer was full of toys from her childhood and some jewelry worn by her grandmother when she was young. She didn't like to dress up, so she kept it sealed.

Jun Xijiu continued: "I need to confirm."

Fan Xiaotao looked into his eyes and felt an inexplicable sense of trust in her heart. She also wanted to solve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise she would repeat this dream every night and experience the pain of suffocation. Also have a nervous breakdown.

Jun Xijiu went out and called Pang Hai, this time he needed some help.As soon as the phone was connected, I heard a burst of children playing from the opposite side.

Pang Hai laughed excitedly: "Hahaha, I just achieved the achievement of king."

Jun Xijiu: "..."

Go-kart race with a group of children, is it proud to win?
