“Naturally, his family often persuaded him to cherish his life and live well, but it seems he didn’t listen much. The Davis family could only send more people to watch him, so that he wouldn’t accidentally kill himself.”
Mitchell said, giving Alonso a deep look, and continued, “At that time, although the Davis family was living in peace in a corner of the world, they were not to the extent of not communicating with the outside world. They would often invite opera troupes to come to the house to sing, and I would always go with Brother Spence to listen to the opera.”
Listen to the opera?
Paige suddenly thought that Mitchell said he didn’t like to watch opera, only listen to it, and Hazel… is good at playing the female lead.
“There was an old woman in the opera troupe called Xiaole Lou who was a general utility worker. Her face was like a ravine, hideously ugly, but she had a good singing voice and her singing was mesmerizing. Even though I was young at the time, I still felt that it was celestial music from the gods.”
Mitchell’s tone became incredibly emotional as he spoke, as if he had returned to his childhood. “I would often drag Brother Spence to go listen to the old woman sing. The old woman would sing for us every time. Once, when no one was around, she even put on her opera costume and climbed onto the stage to sing a song. She was afraid of scaring us, so she sang with her back to us, but I will never forget her posture and singing skills.”
the Folsom family Someone became impatient and asked, “Mitchell, what does this have to do with the grudges between our two families? Who is this Brother Spence?”
Brangelina waved her hand to indicate that everyone should listen first.
“Brother Spence seemed to be obsessed with the opera as well, and he often went to see the old woman. Gradually, he talked more with me and stopped talking about death,”
Mitchell said, “Brother Spence said that he was born without a mother, that his father treated him well and badly, that he forced him to practice kung fu, to lead people, to hate others… He said that the happiest time he had was when he was with the Davis family.”
Hearing this, Paige already understood who the old woman and Brother Spence were.
Mitchell paused for a few seconds before continuing, “Later, an unexpected guest came to the Davis family. A man wearing a snake-patterned ring and a black cloak came looking for Brother Spence. Naturally, the family elders would not hand him over, so he used hypnosis on the spot to control a servant in the Davis family and make him commit suicide in front of everyone.”
Mitchell will never forget that scene.
A man actually cut himself open, spilling blood everywhere.
“…”
Everyone was shocked. Only then did they finally understand what was going on.
“Yes, Brother Spence is JT and Hazel’s son. JT came to the Davis family looking for his son and found the patch on Brother Spence’s clothes was very familiar, which shocked him. He immediately asked who had sewn it for him?”
Mitchell pinched his eyebrows, sighed, and said, “At that time, Brother Spence guessed who the ugly old woman was, so he kept quiet. JT was furious and ordered someone to seal all the exits of the Davis family and demanded that the Davis family hand over all the women.”
Paige stood there, listening only to Cynthia whisper in her ear, “Oh my, there’s more to this.”
Yes.
Paige didn’t expect that there was such a part in those years.
“Think about it, the Davis family was one of the three major families back then. Even if they went into hiding, they still had a lot of power. JT’s actions angered the elders of the family, and the two sides fought. The Davis family used traps to kill many of JT’s men, but they didn’t expect that JT and the men he brought with him all knew hypnosis.”
Mitchell shook his head, “They kept hypnotizing the family members and forcing them to commit suicide. At that time, my father saw what was happening and was heartbroken. He could only agree to let all the women in the family come out.”
Mitchell still remembers that day to this day, and the sky was dark for the Davis family.
All the women in the family came out, gathered together in fear, and JT used hypnosis to interrogate them one by one, but no one knew who had sewn Spence’s clothes.
JT walked up to the ugly old woman, saw her hunched figure, her face scarred by burns and knife wounds, her eyes only a glimmer of light, her hands shaking so much that she didn’t even bother to be hypnotized. He just asked her if she knew, and the old woman said she didn’t.
He was shocked when the old woman spoke, because her beautiful voice had become a hoarse croak, ugly as a rough stone scraping the ground.
The old woman had actually poisoned her voice before the incident.
JT became extremely agitated when he could not find anyone. He turned his head and went to hypnotize his son, forcing him to tell at all costs.
However, while he was questioning the women, Brother Spence had already quietly left. JT hated to slaughter the Davis family on the spot, but the old woman stepped forward and said that she saw Brother Spence heading towards the forest.
JT naturally went after his son, and the jungle was like a maze, easy to enter but difficult to leave. The old woman volunteered to show him the way.
After the two entered the forest, no one knows what exactly happened.
When Brother Spence found the two of them, JT had already collapsed on the grass and fainted.
Perhaps JT recognized her, which is why he fell into the old woman’s trap; perhaps not, he just thought that an old hunchbacked woman really didn’t seem very threatening, and that’s why he fell for it.
Brother Spence stood in the tree and looked down silently. He saw the old woman kneeling in front of her father, her bony hands clutching a wooden thorn, which she suddenly plunged into JT’s chest.
“…”
Brother Spence didn’t move, he just watched.
Blood spread out from around the wooden thorn, but I don’t know if the old woman didn’t have enough strength, the wooden thorn wasn’t thrust deep enough to be fatal.
Brother Spence watched silently as she tried to stab it harder, but her hands were shaking too badly for her to stab any deeper. Suddenly, she threw the wooden stake and fell to her knees, screaming in pain.
The sound was like sandpaper, so unpleasant that it startled the birds in the forest.
At that time, Mitchell could hear the faint screams even from his home, and for the first time, he got a sense of the word “despair”.
What despair meant was her screams.
There was not a hint of weeping in her voice, but it made people feel hopeless, as if the sky had fallen.
Brother Spence crouched down in the tree. He did not go down, but just quietly watched the old woman scream in agony, as if her insides were about to burst.
Finally, the old woman frantically stabbed herself with wooden thorns on her wrists, creating bloody holes.
She pinched open JT’s mouth and let her own blood drip into his mouth, feeding him until she was satisfied. Then she staggered to her feet and walked unsteadily out of the forest.
The Davis family doctor diagnosed the old woman and found that she was carrying a poison in her body. This poison disfigured her and destroyed her internal organs, but it was not immediately fatal. It would only haunt her, causing her to have periodic bouts of the poison, leaving her in constant pain until she was exhausted.
The old woman ate the poison herself.
Now JT is also infected with a strange poison. After he woke up in the forest,
Brother Spence jumped down from the tree and knelt before him, saying that he was willing to return to his father’s side and do whatever his father said in the future. He only wished that his father would spare the Davis family.
He also said that the patches on his clothes were sewn by himself. He had secretly learned his mother’s way of mending clothes by looking at the patches on his father’s clothes a long time ago.
No one knows if JT believed his son’s words. He just wiped the blood from his mouth, turned around and walked away.
