Chapter 2 Vampire Jade Pendant
About an hour later.

"Abandoned child, how are you? Your uncle... didn't come, did he?"

When the old man saw the door open, he craned his neck and looked out, but there was no one there.

"Grandma, I'm sorry, I...I..."

"Okay! Grandma understands everything, everything!"

The old man quickly covered up the disappointment in his eyes, stretched his cracked and wrinkled hands under the mattress, fumbled inside a few times and took out a green jade pendant.

The jade pendant is engraved with a jade Buddha. The jade Buddha is carved vividly, as if it is alive. The jade green is crystal clear, and the water head is very rich. Under the dim light, it looks so dazzling that people can see it at a glance. I like it from my heart.

It was strung up by a black rope, and the rope was held by a withered old hand. The jade pendant kept swaying in the air, swaying back and forth.

"Grandma? This is..."

The old man put the jade pendant around Xia Chuxue's neck and looked at her kindly.

"This jade pendant was passed down from the ancestors of our Xia family. It is passed down from daughter to son. I gave this to your mother, and she kept it before she left. When you were young, grandma was afraid that you would accidentally lose it. So I kept it, but now... I can’t afford to send you to college, so just sell this jade pendant!"

After saying these words, the old man's face suddenly lost its original color, and he immediately collapsed on the bed.

"Ugh...Grandma, I can't pawn the Xia family's ancestral treasure! I can't be so unfilial! And didn't I say there is a scholarship? You don't need to worry."

She spoke softly and slowly, as if comforting.

The old man's face was full of exhaustion, but he still managed to open his eyes and said.

"You... would be truly unfilial if you didn't go to college. Grandma won't rest in peace in heaven... She also has to pay tuition for the scholarship! You also need living expenses! There are rich people in the imperial capital, and grandma doesn't want you to be looked down upon by others. Let’s go!”

After saying this, he began to breathe heavily again. After he had rested enough, he spoke with difficulty again, without even opening his eyes.

"Don't...blame your uncles. They are all poor and troubled. They...also...have to live..." The voice became lower and lower until the next words could no longer be heard.

"No...no...I haven't honored you yet. Nothing can happen to you, no! Please, grandma, wake up quickly! Wow..."

Xia Chuxue cried so hard that she kept shaking her grandmother on the bed, thinking that this would wake her up.

After a while, the old man on the bed suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. He stretched out his hands as withered as old bark, tightly grasped Xia Chuxue's arms, and made a hoarse voice.

"Don't follow your mother's old path, don't follow your mother's old path, don't follow your mother's old path..." I kept repeating the same sentence.

"Grandma, are you okay? That's great, that's great. I'll sell the jade pendant right now and let's go to the hospital!"

As she spoke, she wanted to go to the yard to pull the trolley, and she wanted to put her grandma on it and drag her to the county town for medical treatment.

But the old man still held her arm tightly, unable to move at all.

"Don't follow your mother's old path, don't follow your mother's old path..." His eyes were still staring at Xia Chuxue.

"Grandma, I promise you, I will not follow my mother's old path. Let me go quickly. I will take you to the hospital!" Since the jade pendant around his neck is an ancestral item, it must be very valuable, maybe it is an antique, etc. After selling the money, grandma's illness will take a turn for the better.

Xia Chuxue thought in panic.

But when the old man heard her affirmative answer, his hands suddenly relaxed and hung down naturally. He closed his eyes and fell straight onto the bed. The color on his face faded and his eyes were tightly closed.

Xia Chuxue stretched out her trembling index finger and tried the tip of her grandmother's nose.

"Hiss..." He took a breath of cold air, even the tip of his heart was trembling, and tears flowed down silently, as if he couldn't believe that his relatives who had been dependent on each other for many years were gone like this.

"Grandma...Grandma? Get up quickly. It's dawn. Don't you say that sleeping in is the most unproductive? Get up quickly. I...I'll take you to see the sunrise, okay? I caught a pheasant on the mountain today. I I’ll stew it for you to eat. Don’t ignore me. You said you still want to enjoy my blessings..."

There was no screaming, no crying, just trembling whole bodies and gentle words.

"Mother!"

The sound of rough mining came from outside. It was Xia Chuxue's uncles. They thought about it and came over.Unfortunately…

Three big and thick men rushed in from outside at the same time. The old and loose door was slammed to the ground, turning up dust on the ground.

Xia Chuxue was knocked aside by someone unknown, and she sat down wherever she fell. Her eyes were blank, and she was at the mercy of others like a puppet on strings.

Ignoring the noisy noises and crying around her, her mind was in darkness at this time, and she felt like she was the only one left in the world, alone and helpless.

She hated that she had no ability to make money, she hated that she had not taken out this jade pendant earlier and sold it to pay for her grandmother's medical treatment, and she hated herself even more for being useless.

Did she really answer that name?
Outcast!Abandoned, abandoned, abandoned, are you destined to live a lonely life?
In the hot summer, the strong sunshine is eager to dry out the leaves on the trees. There is a harsh sound on the tree trunks, and the cicadas are chirping. It has not rained for a long time, and the exposed ground is cracked by the sun.

Under such sunlight that could burn one's skin, Xia Chuxue didn't feel hot at all, but felt as cold as falling into an ice cellar in her heart.

"What are you doing? Grandma is still warm. Don't, don't take her away. She's not dead, not dead yet!"

With a trembling voice, he held tightly to the cart carrying the old man's body, with stubborn eyes that refused to let go.

"You are an unwanted bastard. You are a disaster from heaven. You have brought disaster to our family. Now you have killed your grandmother and you are not allowed to bury her. Do you want your neighbors to poke our spines?"

The eldest aunt came up to grab Xia Chuxue with a sarcastic voice, not just to pull her hand off, but to scratch her.

Xia Chuxue didn't care so much, there were scratches all over her body and face, but she kept her eyes fixed on the old man on the wooden cart, holding on to the wooden cart with her hands, and the protruding bones stood high through the skinny skin.

The eldest aunt saw that no matter how hard she hit or scratched her, it was useless, so she winked at the second son's family.

The second aunt and the third aunt stepped forward at the same time and grabbed her with hands and feet. One made a fool of herself and the other made a fool of herself.

"Abandoned child, your grandma is already gone. Just let go. What should we do if the body smells bad in this hot weather? We need to take it to the county seat quickly and have it cremated!"

"Don't blame us for treating you badly. It's really your mother's fault. In order to raise money for your mother to go to college, our three uncles emptied all our money. Who would have thought that your mother hasn't even gone to college yet?" I came back with a big belly after that, and refused to tell anyone who your father was, and I was even less willing to abort you and go back to school. In the end, I even disappeared directly after giving birth to you..."
