165 No Difference
The five senses of the hunter in the snow mountain are far ahead of ordinary people.
After dinner, he stood in the small courtyard outside the Zuo family's house, but he could basically hear the movements of half of the village.
Not to mention a family not far away, the speech was not covered.
"I just said that little girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She has been dressed up like a young lady in the city for only a few months away from home! She ran back to show off in a carriage, and she didn't know what her surname was!"
Bai Xiao heard only one sentence and vaguely connected the voice to a fat village woman in his mind.
Previously, dozens of villagers watched the carriage at the door, and a few of them were gritting their teeth at the Zuo family and clearly hostile. This village woman was one of them and the most.
Others have mostly hostility, envy, jealousy and hatred, but this person is more complicated and strong.
Then, a middle-aged man sighed and said, "Oh, he is indeed a young lady in the city. After being admitted to the Demon Taoist Academy and becoming a Demon Taoist Master, he will be a man in heaven."
The village woman was furious: "Bah! She is worthy of heaven? What kind of person are the masters of the Demonic Dao? Who is not from a superior family? She is also worthy of being a Demonic Dao Master? What's more, if she is really capable, why didn't anyone recommend her to Huihuang Valley at the beginning, and she insisted that she go to Hongshan City alone?"
"Oh, the Glorious Valley is full of children from the best. Of course, no one would recommend her, so she went to Hongshan City to seek opportunities. Isn't this just finding a good opportunity..."
The village woman's anger was about to break out: "How come you talk to her? Could it be that you were also fascinated by that little girl? That little thing has been ill since childhood, and she has to take two men with her when she returns home! Maybe she will learn the magic of Hongshan City or be a prostitute who can ride thousands of people! Otherwise, with the destitute and poor virtue of the Zuo family, she can afford to wear high-quality clothes? I don't know how many men she slept in before getting out of this store!"
"What you said is really..."
"I was wrong!? If a woman who is clean and loves herself can ride in a carriage with two men? The carriage is airtight, and any shameless girl should be embarrassed!"
——
When Bai Xiao passed on his hearing to Gao Yuan, the wealthy young master from the border county was shocked.
"I've got a fuck, what kind of bird man is this?" Gao Yuan was surprised at first, and then his face turned red with anger. "I thought the scum in this world was concentrated in the wealthy families, but I didn't expect that there was something even better below. What a fuck... fuck!"
Gao Yuan said it later and couldn't say a complete sentence. He just kept pace in the yard and kept swearing.
Bai Xiao listened attentively to other voices in the village.
There were not many vicious remarks like the village woman, but the chats of the villagers after dinner were indeed full of malice towards the Zuo family.
"The girl from the Zuo family is really promising. She can take two men home in just half a year."
"Isn't there someone from Wuyue Academy coming over to accept her as a student? It is said that it is a magic academy that can be counted near Huluyuan. As a result, Miss Zuo looked down on her and insisted on staying in Hongshan City. Hehe, maybe she has a deep affection with the young men in the east and is hard to leave."
...
The public opinion environment is so harsh, it is no wonder that the Zuo family and the surrounding neighbors no longer interact.
But this is really puzzling. What kind of things did Zuo Qingsui and his family do?
"Because we are aliens..."
At some point, Zuo Qingsui also came to the courtyard, looked at Gao Yuan who was walking endlessly, and Bai Xiao who was standing on the high ground listening, and said softly.
"When I was very young, I knew that my parents were different from others. Ordinary farmers had to have a boy to be happy, but since I was born, my parents have spoiled me very much. I never disliked me as a girl, and I was a thin and weak girl... Later, I accidentally learned to read and read from a passing gentleman, and begged my parents to buy me books. My family is not well-off. Although books in border counties are not expensive now, it is very difficult to buy at home, but even if my parents save money, they have to give it to me.
Buying books, or even magic books... When I was 13 years old, someone suddenly came to my house to say kinship. My parents asked me, of course I don't want to. Compared to the world in the book, those men who only know how to eat, drink, have children... I can't live with them. So then my parents drove away all the people who said kinship. Then the people around me started to laugh at my family for being overestimated. Toads want to eat swan meat, and some people said that my parents wanted to sell their daughters, climb high branches, and say that my family has become less and less popular from now on."
Zuo Qingsui's words were indifferent, and the girl could see that there was indeed no emotional fluctuation. Obviously, she had long been used to such a hometown environment in her past so many years.
But in the ears of the audience, this is an ugly human nature that is enough to ignite the eruption of a volcano.
Gao Yuan seemed to be so angry that he swelled up, and clenched his fists and scolded: "This group..."
As a result, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Bai Xiao.
"Is the source of which house?"
Zuo Qingsui was a little puzzled: "The source?"
Bai Xiao stretched out his finger and pointed to the home of the peasant woman who spoke the most viciously.
"From my feeling, the source of the rumors in the village should be there."
Zuo Qingsui bit her lip and nodded gently: "Aunt Qing is the most prestigious in the village and has the most prejudice against my family. She was the first to say that she was the one who kissed her, but..."
After a pause, the girl said in a very firm tone: "But I hate her!"
Gao Yuan was so shocked that he even threw away his anger.
This was the first time he heard Zuo Qingsui hate someone with such a clear attitude.
Even before... I experienced the greatest danger and humiliation in my life on the carnival night after the entrance exam, Zuo Qingsui would only bury that experience in her heart, and what she showed to others was always that shy and restrained smile.
A girl will also have her own love and hatred, but unless she accumulates to the extreme, she will never reveal it.
Gao Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that this family is really a sin."
Bai Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "Then I'll go and kill them."
As soon as these words came out, the air in the courtyard condensed instantly, and Zuo Qingsui widened her eyes: "Senior Brother?"
Bai Xiao explained: "Since this family is the source of all malice, as long as it is cut off, it can intimidate all other villagers. And don't you hate them?"
Zuo Qingsui stuttered: "I, I don't hate that."
Bai Xiao asked back: "If one day they suddenly die, will you feel happy or sad?"
Zuo Qingsui opened her mouth, but was blocked by Bai Xiao's sharp gaze. The answer she originally planned to say was blocked.
It took a long time before the girl said a little depressedly: "I... will be happy."
If it is just about individuals, Zuo Qingsui would not gloat about life and death, but thought of the grievances and pressures his parents suffered.
No matter how gentle a small animal is, it will still have a temper.
"So you wait a moment, I'll..."
"Senior Brother!"
Zuo Qingsui stepped forward and grabbed Bai Xiao's hand tightly.
"I did... I did think about and even pray for the people who bullied my parents if they died, but I never thought of killing people by myself!"
Bai Xiao said: "You don't need to do it..."
"Senior brother, you will do the same! There is no difference between doing it yourself!" Zuo Qingsui said tremblingly, "That's... a murder."
"So there is a difference." Bai Xiao explained seriously, "For you, that's killing, and for me, that's just killing."
"I don't mean that! I don't care whether my hands are stained with blood or mental cleanliness. I'm just a little girl from a farmer and I don't have the reserve of aristocrats! If they really deserve to die, I can even muster up the courage to do it myself, but they won't die! No matter how hateful they are or how vicious they are, they won't die! So at most, I will only gloat and pray secretly, but I will never consider killing people!"
Bai Xiao asked back: "Sin will not lead to death? Why do you feel so?"
Zuo Qingsui said: "Because they did not kill and set fire after all, they just spoke a little viciously, and there was also..."
Bai Xiao asked again: "Why can't you die if you speak viciously? What if they are insulting the emperor of the Qin Empire?"
"I'm not the emperor..."
“It doesn’t make any difference in my opinion.”
Zuo Qingsui widened her eyes and held her breath.
