Our village had suffered three years of drought. The spirit medium said my newborn baby brother had to be sacrificed to Heaven to pray for rain.
The night my parents nodded with tear-filled eyes, I sneaked into the spirit medium’s room.
But I heard her mumbling in her sleep: “That old bastard! After he tricked me into drinking talisman water and having a stupid child, I’ve finally gotten my revenge…”
I went cold all over and was about to run when she suddenly grabbed my wrist.
In the darkness, she grinned. “Dear granddaughter, what do you think would happen if the whole village found out your parents willingly traded their son for food?”
Highly recommended! The author's writing style is simple and natural.
Very inspiring, well-written, and enjoyable.
Concise and to the point, visually appealing
