Weird Regulator

The year 1950 was a distant and unfamiliar era.

In that era, many, many people died on this land.

The war that engulfed the world has just subsided, and the new country looks brand new but is devastated.

The souls of the dead have not had time to be saved, and the surviving Chinese people are cleaning up the mountains and rivers.

At this time when the old and the new are overlapping and the times are changing, people and ghosts are confused, and strange things happen.

Whenever the Xiayuan Festival comes, Shuiguan descends to the mortal world to inspect the good and evil in the world and relieve people from disasters.

Therefore, people at that time paid special attention to it.

The Shanghai River, which had just been washed away by the blood, was filled with paper lanterns that day.

Dots of candles float down the river, expressing people's thoughts for their dead ancestors and their expectations for future life.

At that time, Chen Shu was as old as Ji Li. He squatted by the river with a water lantern in one hand and his parents' names written on it.

Who you meet and what you experience in your life are all controlled by fate.

Fate brings two strangers together, affecting each other's lives.

So, an orphan in the countryside met a dying girl.

Her body floated on the river at night, and countless prayer lanterns spontaneously surrounded it in the center, and a flower bloomed.

Freely flowing down the river, like a girl's body buried in water.

When Chen Shu released his parents' krathong, he saw her at a glance.

In that era, the living had no fear of the dead, but instead felt a kind of kindness towards them.

By some mistake, Chen Shu went down the river and took the still-breathing girl home.

…

In the simple village, every family has a difficult life, but this does not prevent them from having pure goodwill.

No one discussed where Chen Shu, a bachelor, brought back a young woman.

On the contrary, the villagers next door would use their little food to help Chen Shu.

Because the woman who was picked up had been lying in Chen's house in a coma for three days and three nights, and she still couldn't wake up.

At night, in the thatched cottage built along the river, Chen Shu sat at the table, with weak candlelight illuminating the small room.

The woman lay quietly on the bed, covered with a blue and white quilt, and the dim light shone on her face, like a person in a dream.

Chen Shu held the candle and looked at it with some kind of expectation and joy in his eyes.

Her nose is small and her lips are curved, always seeming to be smiling.

Unlike the girls Chen Shu had seen, her face was very white and clean.

The quiet look is really nice.

Chen Shu looked at it, feeling a sense of inferiority in his heart for no reason, and he didn't dare to look any more.

…

Shu, these are the pills that my aunt bought when she went to the county town to exchange for food.

I heard it's a rare item. Give Cai Yatou some treatment and maybe she can wake up.

As soon as Chen Shu returned from the river with a fishing net in his hand, the neighbor's aunt stopped him and gave him a paper bag.

Chen Shu looked a little embarrassed and quickly stopped him:

Aunt Ma, you usually take good care of me, why would you let you...

Aunt Ma couldn't help but put it into Chen Shu's hand and interrupted:

Shu, your mother had the best relationship with me earlier. She has been gone for so many years, and I feel sorry for you the most.

You are not from a good background, but you are not young either.

I see that Cai Ya is not a local, and the clothes she wears are different from ours.

Most probably they fled to our place. They met bandits on the way, so they lost a few fingers and were too frightened.

Just try to save her. If she still has relatives, that's all.

But if she really has nowhere to go, you should put some effort into trying to see if you can keep her as your wife.

Our village will help you with your marriage.

Listening to Aunt Ma's words, Chen Shu had a lot of thoughts in his mind and didn't know what to say.

…

This is already the fourth night.

Chen Shu didn't dare to look at her unconscious state again. After hearing Aunt Ma's words, he was confused.

There is a set of dark blue clothes stacked on the cabinet in the room.

There are lines of seven colors on it, as beautiful as a butterfly landing on clothes.

There are two strings of silver earrings on top of the clothes.

Therefore, people in the village call her Cai Yatou.

People at that time wore very simple clothes. Those who could wear such clothes must not be ordinary people.

At this time, Chen Shu suddenly had a strange idea.

It would be nice if Cai Yatou could sleep forever, so that he could keep looking at her.

Thinking like this, he realized the selfishness of his thoughts, raised his hand and slapped himself twice.

With mixed emotions, Chen Shu rushed out of the house and plunged into the cold bucket in the post-autumn weather.

After a while, Chen Shu calmed down and slowly returned to the house.

As soon as he entered the room, he found that the candle on the table had been extinguished at some point.

The darkness made him a little uncomfortable, so he took out the matchbox and relit the candle.

But at this moment, he saw a dark shadow behind his own shadow on the wall.

The black shadow stood motionless behind him, as if it was observing him, but also seemed to want to hurt him.

Chen Shu did not turn his head at the first moment, but rushed into the back room and looked at the bed.

There was only a quilt that had been lifted off the bed, and the woman who had been lying here for four days disappeared.

Chen Shu felt as if his heart had been hit by something, and the woman's colorful clothes on the cabinet had disappeared.

He was confused.

The most likely scenario is that the woman has woken up.

But Chen Shu's thought was that someone had snatched her away.

Just like that, he rushed out of the back room and saw a woman.

The woman held a candle in her hand, and the light reflected her in an illusion.

She wore beautiful colorful clothes, and hung two strings of twinkling silver pendants on her right ear, like stars in the sky being worn by her ears.

Only two fingers are missing from the left hand holding the candlestick.

There was no expression on her face, but her naturally curved lips made her look like she was smiling even if she had no emotion.

He looked at her like this, forgetting language, forgetting the world, and forgetting himself.

She is really beautiful.

…

Do you know? Cai Yatou from Chen Shu's family is awake!

Really? That's a great thing. This boy Chen Shu should be happy.

Speaking of which, Cai Yatou is also very pitiful.

I was injured by the bandits, so I was afraid of being greatly irritated.

It had been several days since I woke up. During the day, I sat in front of Chen Shu's house and stared blankly at the sky without saying a word.

Whether she is disabled or mute, the child is definitely a good child.

If Chen Shu is willing, let’s mention this matter carefully.

There were not many things going on in the village after Qiu, and many people took the matter between Chen Shu and Cai Yatou as a serious matter.

Many good people even leaned on the wall of Chen Shu's courtyard to take a look at this mysterious Cai Yatou.

In rural villages at that time, local farmers thought women like Cai Yatou were like fairies coming out of paintings.

A cousin who works in the city told me that you look like an ethnic minority from the Miao border.

Where is Miao territory? Is it far from our place?

Chen Shu held the rice porridge in his hand and used a spoon to pass it to Cai Yatou's mouth one by one, mumbling while feeding it.

Cai Yatou has been awake for two days, but she can do nothing but sit in a daze, and sit at the door during the day and look at the sky.

Even simple things like eating and drinking water, she didn't have the consciousness to do it without help.

As a result, Chen Shu also reduced the time he spent out and would come home at regular times to take care of her.

Watching Cai Yatou sitting quietly on the bed, she obediently finished her dinner one spoonful at a time.

There were more and more doubts in Chen Shu's eyes.

Cai Yatou was like a body that had lost its soul. Except when she woke up that night and put on her own clothes, she could only perform instinctive actions step by step.

The night fell deeply, and there was only silence in the village.

Chen Shu lay on the bed made of straw mats in the outer room and fell into a deep sleep.

A woman walking with a candle slowly came to his side and moved the candlestick closer. Chen Shu's shadow was stretched longer and longer.

The candlelight spread Chen Shu's shadow on the ground, forming a human figure.

But only half of his shadow remained.

call!

A face as pale as paper suddenly emerged from the half shadow, and it rushed towards the woman with a ferocious expression.

The woman suddenly took half a step back, avoiding the face.

The candle went out, Chen Shu's shadow disappeared, and the human face naturally disappeared.

The woman quietly returned to the back room, and the silver pendant in her ear made a crisp sound with her footsteps.

Chen Shu had no idea about this. He just raised the corners of his mouth slightly in his dream, as if he had dreamed of some happy event.
