C12 Humiliation

Just as I was thinking about where I had met the old lady, the old lady came up to me with a kind smile and asked me what I wanted to buy.

Embarrassed, I quickly waved my hand to say that I was just looking around.

The old lady let me look around. She said that her son was very busy working in the big city and rarely came back. She only saw her son's daughter-in-law and granddaughter on Spring Festival.

Her son wanted her to live in a big city, but she was too old to leave her home, much less be a burden to him.

She could not afford to be idle because she could no longer do the heavy work, so she opened this meditation shop.

After I replied that I was Gan Mei, the old granny asked my date of birth. She said that I was about the same height as her granddaughter, and that I should be about the same age as her granddaughter.

Aunt Tao had told me a long time ago how important the word birthright was to humans. When I heard the old lady ask about the date of my birth, I shook my head and said I didn't know.

The old lady gave me a reproachful look and said that I was fooling her.

I said no, that I was a child picked up. I had no idea about my birthday.

The old lady lamented that I was suffering, and gave me a few pieces of beautiful candy.

I thanked the old granny and left as well. After that, I distributed the candies to Yu Kexin and Aunt Wang.

After Yu Kexin received the candy, she asked me if I went to the meditation shop downstairs.

After I said yes, Yu Kexin angrily threw the candy I gave her onto the ground, then returned to her room and tightly closed the door.

I stood there in a daze, not understanding what Yu Kexin was angry about. Aunt Wang looked at Yu Kexin's room and sighed, then shook her head.

I told the Aunt Wang the reason why I went to the meditation shop before. After that, I told him that I had a similar feeling to that old granny, but no matter what, I couldn't remember where I saw her before.

Aunt Wang slightly creased her forehead. Let me think carefully again, where did I see that old lady before?

I thought about it, but I still couldn't come up with an answer.

Aunt Wang told me to go back to my room and read. I nodded in agreement, then asked Aunt Wang what was Yu Kexin angry about.

Aunt Wang said that Yu Kexin was a selfish tyrant, she used to go to the underworld shop to play first guesses, seeing that I got the old granny's candy, she probably thought that I had stolen the old lady's love.

After hearing Aunt Wang's reply, I walked over to Yu Kexin's door and knocked on it. Standing outside the door, I told her that I would never go to a meditation shop again.

The furious Yu Kexin rushed out of the room and pointed at the Aunt Wang, saying that the Aunt Wang was just a Self-bunning Lady and she was a disciple of the Pure Lady Sect.

Aunt Wang was biased, she didn't have the right to say anything about her.

Yu Kexin's words infuriated Aunt Wang, who had always been taking good care of us. After Aunt Wang pulled Yu Kexin into her room, she gave him a good beating.

I was locked outside the door by the Aunt Wang and couldn't do anything as I listened to Yu Kexin's cries.

Yu Kexin cried and said that when Aunt Tao returned, she would make it difficult for Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang immediately followed, saying that she was also a disciple of Pure Lady Sect, and it was Aunt Tao who made her manage Yu Kexin and me.

If Yu Kexin dared to be presumptuous, if Yu Kexin dared to casually reveal her identity as a disciple of the Self-bunning Lady, she would immediately send Yu Kexin back to the Aunt House.

When the words of the Aunt Wang left her mouth, Yu Kexin's crying voice abruptly stopped.

When Aunt Wang and Yu Kexin came out of the room, it was difficult to hide the resentment and hatred in Yu Kexin's eyes.

Aunt Wang told Yu Kexin and I that the majority of the women who choose to become Self-bunning Lady have their own reasons for doing so.

After Yu Kexin and I nodded, Aunt Wang asked Yu Kexin if she was really hated by the both of us. Yu Kexin lowered her head and said that she didn't hate her because she said that it was good for her to know about the Aunt Wang.

The Aunt Wang smiled bitterly, saying that she knew that Yu Kexin was hating her, but Yu Kexin would definitely know in the future that she was doing this for her own good.

Yu Kexin lowered her head and did not speak. Aunt Wang then asked Yu Kexin if she had mentioned her identity in front of outsiders.

After Yu Kexin shook her head, the Aunt Wang told her to go back to her room.

For the next few days, Yu Kexin did not go out of the shop again. In front of the Aunt Wang, she became unusually obedient.

When the Aunt Wang wasn't home, Yu Kexin would always be in a daze with a straight face.

Yu Kexin's reaction made me a little worried. From time to time, I would tell her about what she had experienced before.

I wanted to let her know, through that, that the days we had lived were the days we had dreamed of.

Yu Kexin will always impatiently interrupt me, saying that she no longer hates the Aunt Wang so I don't need to say anything more.

I didn't doubt him, so I didn't say anything more.

After running for a few days, the Aunt Wang told Yu Kexin and I that we were not allowed to go to a meditation shop in the future. We would have to stay at home and do homework and studying during the rest of the summer.

When Aunt Wang's words came out, Yu Kexin's face immediately fell, but she still followed my orders.

After Yu Kexin returned to her room, I couldn't help but ask Aunt Wang what she found in the meditation shop.

Aunt Wang shook her head and said that there was nothing abnormal with the store. We came to town to study, we shouldn't be walking too close to outsiders.

Aunt Wang changed the topic and told me something else.

In the following days, Yu Kexin and I stayed at home to do homework and repeat lessons. Yu Kexin gradually returned to her normal appearance.

I thought things were quiet again, but I was wrong.

Another afternoon, when Aunt Wang was out buying vegetables, Yu Kexin, who had not been out for a long time, wanted to go downstairs to buy an automatic pencil holder.

I gave her my pen. She said mine was 0.7 and hers was 0.5.

I had no doubt he was telling her to hurry back, and soon she was back with a box of 0.5 pencils.

When Aunt Wang who went out to buy vegetables came back, she didn't buy vegetables, and instead brought back an unfamiliar man. Yu Kexin and I looked at each other in dismay.

While I was stunned, the Aunt Wang had already brought the man directly back into the room and locked the door. Right after that, I heard heavy breathing and popping sounds coming from the room.

Hearing that sound, I realized that something was wrong and immediately knocked on the door. I didn't hear any Aunt Wang voices nor did anyone open the door for me.

I was extremely anxious. Other than slamming the door with all my might, I didn't know what to do.

After Yu Kexin reminded me that there was a window on the door of the Aunt Wang, I quickly carried the table to the entrance of the Aunt Wang together with Yu Kexin before placing the chair on the table.

Through the glass window, I could see Aunt Wang lying on her back on the bed. His naked body and dull eyes were allowing the unfamiliar man to lie on top of her body and move about freely.

Beneath Aunt Wang's body, there was fresh blood on the white bed sheets.

Neither Aunt Wang nor the man showed any signs of being possessed by the spirit, but the Aunt Wang definitely did not do it on her own accord.

Anger and humiliation immediately filled my heart. I didn't understand why there would always be someone who would destroy Self-bunning Lady in such a humiliating manner.

At this time, Yu Kexin handed over a hammer to me. I took the hammer and broke the glass window, opened it, and jumped into Aunt Wang's room with the hammer in hand.

When I jumped into Aunt Wang's room, the man growled and laid on Aunt Wang's body without moving.

I rushed to the bed with the hammer and hammered the man on the head.

With my hammer strike, the man screamed and bounced off Aunt Wang's body. He covered his head with blood and looked around in a daze before opening the door and running away.

I didn't care about chasing after the man, but threw the hammer and shook the Aunt Wang with all my might.

No matter how much I shook the Aunt Wang, there was no response from the Aunt Wang at all.

After Yu Kexin poured a cup of cold water on Aunt Wang's face, Aunt Wang then looked at Yu Kexin and I slowly, before screaming and sitting up on the bed. She stared at her own legs, causing her entire body to tremble.

My eyes are sore as I wrap Aunt Wang with a blanket. Aunt Wang's eyes are filled with fear and trembling uncontrollably.

I didn't know how to comfort Aunt Wang, so I could only hug him through the blanket.

After a long while, Aunt Wang finally stabilized her emotions. Her calm tone told me to tell her what had happened.

I told Aunt Wang what happened truthfully. There weren't any ripples in the eyes of the Aunt Wang and she nodded her head and said she understood. Then, she told Yu Kexin and I to leave the room first.

Aunt Wang's face carried a smile that was uglier than crying. If she said that her life was in Aunt Tao, she would not commit suicide.

My tears flowed freely, not wanting to add to Aunt Wang's troubles. I hurriedly left the Aunt Wang's room.

Not long after, Aunt Wang changed her clothes and came out of her room. She said with a calm expression that she needed to go out and make a phone call.

I followed along behind Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang looked at me but didn't refuse my company.

Aunt Wang is on a long distance international call. After she told me and Yu Kexin's recent situation, she also told me about what happened to her.

I couldn't hear what was being said on the other end of the phone. I saw the Aunt Wang holding onto the microphone, her emotions fluctuating before she finally burst into tears.

On the way back, Aunt Wang took the initiative to tell me that her phone call was to Aunt Tao.

I wanted to say something but I didn't dare to ask what Aunt Tao had said. Aunt Wang brought me along as they walked, and soon, new disciples of the Pure Lady Sect will come over to take care of Yu Kexin and me.

She no longer has the qualifications to take care of Yu Kexin and I, and no longer has the qualifications to be a Self-bunning Lady.

She should have been decapitated by someone before, and the decapitation should have been temporary. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to wake up.

After listening to Aunt Wang's words, I hesitated for a long time before asking the question that I was most concerned about.

This is the first time I have heard of the word "down". Since Aunt Wang has already said that falling down is temporary, I do not take it to heart.

Aunt Wang shook her head and did not say anymore after.

I didn't understand how Aunt Wang could avoid punishment after breaking the Self-bunning Lady's rules. Aunt Wang's answer was an answer that I was happy to hear.

I have followed Aunt Wang for more than half a year and both and I have been very considerate to her, so I did not wish for her to be executed in the slightest.

Relieved, I asked Aunt Wang if she wanted to call the police. Aunt Wang stopped her steps and asked me if there was any use for us to call the police.

I was suddenly at a loss for words. Aunt Wang immediately said, she only believed in herself, and then she would personally kill that man and find out who the mastermind was.

When Aunt Wang and I returned to our house, it was already dark. Aunt Tao, who was walking behind me, let me in.

I took out the key and opened the door to see Yu Kexin sitting in the living room with her head lowered. Surprisingly, the old granny from the meditation shop was also in the living room.

Before I could react, the back of my neck was struck and I lost consciousness.
