The existence of witches exists in people's imagination, just like the legends of various fairies and monsters, and almost no one has seen them with their own eyes.

But among all kinds of rumors, they are extremely terrifying.

Meili went to the market to buy things with a basket, and found that there were always people looking at her quietly along the way. When she looked at her, those people would immediately withdraw their eyes. This strange attitude was really suspicious.

In the past, when she came to the market, few people would talk to her on their own initiative and stay away from her attitude, but this time, the feeling of being rejected was too clear.

In such an uncomfortable atmosphere, Meili quickly bought something and was about to leave.

But before she could leave the market, she was stopped, and a young man holding a knife stared at her with red eyes.

It is Julian, the son of Aunt Maggie.

"Did you kill my mother?" He rushed up and said that.

Mei Li was startled by him and looked at the knife in his hand vigilantly, a little worried that the person would take action directly if he was not in a good state of mind.

"What are you talking about? How could I kill Aunt Maggie?"

She couldn't help but guess in her heart, could he have misunderstood when he saw her picking out Aunt Maggie's body from the swamp?

"You are a damn witch, and your mother is also a witch. If it weren't for you, who did it!"

When Mei Li heard such an answer, she felt it was ridiculous. There was no evidence. She could use a knife to stop people by just doubt. It should be said that a young man of this age is impulsive and brainless, or is the law in this world lacking.

Many people around came to see her and pointed, but no one spoke, and the look of her eyes were filled with fear and doubt.

Meili originally wanted to keep calm as much as possible, but when she thought about it, she pursed her lips and showed a fearful look, her eyes turned red, and she started crying on the spot, "Why are you slandering me!"

She was also a pretty little beauty, and when she cried with such a fearful look, she looked particularly pitiful. Compared to Julian holding a knife, she was even weak and helpless.

Seeing Julian move, Meili took a step back in panic and shouted, "What are you going to do? I'm not a witch at all, you are the terrible murderer!"

As soon as she retreated, the people watching behind her also retreated. An aunt couldn't help but say, "Julian, put down your knife first."

"Yes, yes, a little girl was scared to tears by you."

Another aunt rolled up her sleeves and stood out, and said in a loud voice: "Don't just take it seriously after hearing someone's gossip. If you run out with such impulse, you really want to kill someone!"

Julian had heard a lot of speculations and gossip in the past few days, and was immersed in the grief of her mother being killed. She ran over to question her impulse. Now, after being told by people around her, she was shaken again. Her angry expression retreated most of her. She stood there and didn't know what to do.

——People are always like this, easily lost in rumors, like a small boat swaying in the wind.

Mei Li was still crying, raised her eyes and looked at him in fear, "I... I have no grudge with your family, why did you kill Aunt Maggie for no reason? Moreover, I don't even dare to kill rabbits, how could I kill people? You just smear my reputation as soon as you say it. How can I be a human being in the future? I will not live anymore!"

As she was talking, she burst into tears, and only her crying could be heard echoing in this area.

A group of onlookers looked at each other, and many of them showed a embarrassed look and felt embarrassed.

Who is not so casual about Aunt Maggie's death?

If you want to talk about rumors, everyone will spread them casually, and they will follow the crowd. If you say a few words to the trend, the beauty will think it is a big deal.

Doubt is just a prejudice in people’s hearts.

But now in public, I made a little girl cry because of gossip, which is not good-looking.

Meili also took the initiative and cried: "You just see that my parents are both dead. A little girl is easy to bully. I know that Aunt Maggie is sad, but if you are sad, you can bully people at will!"

She didn't involve anyone else, she only targeted Julian.

People who always look miserable in this world are even more sympathetic, and suddenly, the situation changes.

Many people also felt that no matter how gossip is, it is immoral to bully a little girl with a knife, so they stood up and condemned Julian.

"Julian, you're so overdoing it."

"Yes, you are all a big man, what's the point of bullying a little girl?"

"Go back quickly, stop making trouble, what a rash look like."

Julian's face turned into a pig's liver and stared at these people. There were obviously many people in it who swear that Meli and his daughter were witches, but they turned against each other now and came to condemn him!

These people...these people!

He felt aggrieved and angry, and shouted and turned his head and ran out of the crowd.

A group of people was startled by his shouting, and a woman covered her chest and said unhappily: "I didn't know that Julian was such a person before, and he had a very bad temper."

"Yes, I suddenly screamed, scared me. Could it be that he was stimulated by Maggie's death?"

"Maybe, he hasn't liked to come out to play recently, nor has he liked to talk or laugh, I'm afraid there is something wrong with it."

"The person is getting more and more gloomy, not to mention, it's a bit scary, and he even holds a knife with him."

"His father doesn't care about him."

In a blink of an eye, rumors spread from these people's mouths.

These rumors are like the wind, blowing through everyone and will never stop.

Hesha only heard the news after everything was over. When she saw Meli, who was still crying silently, she hurried forward and supported her and brought her out of the crowd.

She comforted her carefully for a few words, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

The two sat on the road outside the market, Meili was holding a handkerchief, calming her emotions, leaving only her eyes a little red. She was pretending, so of course she recovered quickly.

"Are you okay, Mellie?"

"It's all right."

"How could Julian treat you like this? He's really stupid!"

"Forget it... Hesha, everyone says I am a witch, do you think so too?" Mei Li just realized now. Last time my friend came to play with her, why did she look worried but stop talking? I was afraid she heard those rumors.

Hesha waved his hand and shook his head again, "No! I don't think so, they are all talking nonsense, I believe you!"

Meili looked at her gentle expression, "Thank you, Hesha."

In fact, she didn't care about the rumors. In her previous life, she had experienced too many such things.

At first, it was because her father and her father were killed, and the bad things he did were found out and disclosed online. She and her mother were insulted for this. She was not very old at that time and was not very sensible. She only remembered that her already sensitive mother was greatly stimulated by this and became increasingly melancholy and depressed.

Later, when she went to elementary school, she was constantly mentioned, and no one was willing to pay attention to her, the raped daughter.

There was a mental problem during the time before her mother passed away. She often went to and from mental illness treatment centers. Those who knew them would talk to people in a tone of pity or ridicule. Her mother was a psychopath.

She was in junior high school, and there were also classmates in the class that she had inherited a mental illness from her mother.

She has suffered and resented her because of this, and learned to show weakness to make herself better. When she appears as a victim or a weak person, there will always be people with sympathy who stand up to speak for her. But if you see too much of the lawsuit, no matter how you win or lose, it seems meaningless.

When she grew up and became a little mature, she gradually learned not to care about these things under the enlightenment of Mrs. Qin.

But there were some sequelae left. She became less sociable and did not like to live among the crowd. She would rather be alone.

Perhaps this is also the reason why she fell in love with the swamp monster - he has no human traits, and when he is with him, he will not be hurt no matter how close he is to him.

After crying, she felt a little depressed. She walked on the path, looking at the light blue sky with her eyes.

The figure of the swamp monster suddenly appeared from the other end of the path, and the figure became thicker and thicker under the light blue sky curtain.

Meili's mood slowly rose again, and her slightly heavy steps became relaxed. Every step towards the swamp monster seemed to be stepping on the wind. She ran towards him and slowed down closer.

The swamp monster reached out to her, and Mei Li hung the basket on it.

Then she ran behind the swamp monster, sprinted and hanged her whole person behind him.

"Ah-I'm tired, you carry me back-"

Meili strangled his neck and hung it on him and shook her legs.

With a basket and a plum clew hanging on her body, the swamp monster turned around and moved towards the forest.

Mei Li was tired after hanging for a while, so she jumped down by herself and continued walking with one of the hand of the swamp monster.

Although there are bad things, life is still beautiful. Meili thought to herself as she looked at the tall man beside her.

.

What happened at the market was not pleasant and did not cause much consequences. Meili no longer cared about it and lived her life as usual.

However, Julian, whose mother was suspected to have been killed by a witch, did not let go of this matter so easily.

The scenes of people refuting and blaming him in the market repeatedly tortured him. The more those people said that he did something wrong, the more they were dissatisfied and had to prove that they were not wrong.

The moonlight shone into the room was bleak. He couldn't sleep when he lay on the bed. He clenched his hands into fists and hit the bed board hard.

My father's cough came from next door. Since his mother's death, my father has grown much older.

Various complex emotions bumped into his chest and couldn't find the way. He suddenly sat up from the bed, picked up the knife placed beside the bed, and walked out of the house quietly.

He was curious about the house beside the forest. He had once visited nearby with his friends. Taking advantage of the night, he walked on the path leading to the house.

There was a rustling sound in the woods. He felt a gaze, and he looked at the woods, and only saw a pair of glittering eyes.

"What!" he raised his knife.

"Gugu—" An owl flew up and swept over his head.

The shadows of the tree sway, and when blown by the wind, it seems like people standing behind the tree.

Julian was extremely nervous and walked all the way to the house with the garden. The impulse in his heart had disappeared and he began to hesitate again.

He wandered outside the house for a while, finally gritted his teeth, grabbed the knife and flipped it into the yard.
