On the day he was sold to Yunbielou, it rained heavily, and the drops hit his face one after another. Mixed with tears, it was difficult to tell who was who. The father and mother, dressed in patched clothes, nodded and bowed to the woman.
The woman covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief in disgust, and looked up and down with critical eyes for a long time before reluctantly nodding in agreement.
"Two taels of silver, any more will be gone."
Naturally, the parents accepted it with joy. After all, for them, exchanging a daughter for three months of food and clothing for the family was a good thing that they could not ask for.
Erya was dragged away by two men. She cried and begged her mother not to sell her, and that she would work hard in the future.
Auntie said, there are two sons at home and there is no extra food to feed you.
Erya lost all hope, and the door to the room slammed shut with a loud bang.
In the following days, Erya couldn't remember clearly how many times she was beaten or how long she was hungry. However, one time when someone came to bring her food, the person asked her if she wanted to escape.
Erya raised her eyes and saw a face as young as her own.
The girl broke the bun into small pieces and stuffed it into her mouth. Erya swallowed it and shed tears.
They escaped from that place together, but when they were about to leave the town, they were discovered. Erya asked the girl to hide, but she was beaten up by the angry madam.
The madam looked at her shapeless figure on the ground, spat coldly, and left in disgust.
Those people spared no room in their attacks, and Erya, who was still a child, was beaten until she was almost breathless. She thought she was going to die here, and she was extremely unwilling to do so.
She is not willing to die like this. She also wants to be someone who can control the life and death of others. The life and death of those people are all decided by her!
However, her increasingly heavy breathing told her that she was about to die.
Just when Erya was desperate, someone appeared in front of her. The man cast a condescending shadow and asked her.
"Do you want to live?"
Erya took a step back, panicking. The appearance of the madam awakened her memory of being beaten, the pain that she could still feel when she was about to die, and there was no intact skin on her body.
She pulled Pebbles and wanted to run to the left, but she didn't notice a person coming from the right. A big hand firmly grabbed her and Pebbles. The two struggled in panic. The man laughed a few times and pulled them like a drag.
It looks like two little chickens.
The madam laughed a few times. She glanced at the other four people with cold eyes and found that the situation was not that simple.
"Huanxi, I was wondering where you had gone. I worked so hard to bring you up in order to train you to be an courtesan in the future, but I didn't expect that you would join this wild girl and escape." The old bustard stepped forward.
Go, the thugs following behind also came forward, several children gathered around vigilantly, but they were still surrounded.
Only Qie Yuan, before realizing that he was about to be surrounded, pulled A Ruo beside him and turned around to run away. However, the madam gave an order and the thugs surrounded him. In desperation, Qie Yuan took advantage of the cover of the trees to kill A Ruo.
In the grass.
"Aruo, don't make any sound."
He said, picked up a stone on the ground, pretended to be angry and rushed back towards the thugs. While rushing, he shouted that he wanted to avenge his friends. Unfortunately, he was easily caught by the thugs. The thugs did not notice A Ruo, but
Thought there were only five children.
Seeing that they had all been arrested, the old bustard prepared to take the people away. The group of them returned to Fuliu City vigorously. When they walked outside the city, they bumped into a group of people. Those people were familiar with the old bustard. After asking, they found out the situation. Among them
But one person recognized the little steamed bun.
The old bustard didn't know the identity of the little steamed bun, and just thought he was a wild child hanging out with him. But the man knew something, and he was suddenly surprised.
He said that the little steamed bun looked very much like the young master of the Chen family who died six months ago.
Although he is a young master, he is also a concubine. His mother died early, and the wife of the wife dislikes the child. She usually beats or scolds him at home. If the child is not in good health, the wife of the wife will be evil-minded and give him cheap medicine.
, I fried a piece of medicine seven or eight times and refused to change it when it lost its taste. Don’t waste money unless you say it’s still edible.
The result was that the child was seriously ill and died. Instead of feeling guilty, the wife felt unlucky and found someone to move out and bury the child in a hurry. The person who buried the child was this person.
According to what he said, he had personally seen the dirt that this man had shed, but now the child was standing in front of him. Except that his face looked better, he was exactly the same as before.
As soon as he said these words, everyone present was frightened. In addition to what the madam said, they all felt that these children were evil spirits. This was a good thing. If you offended the evil spirits, you would definitely not end well.
The madam was a little scared and thought that if she let these children go, the evil spirit would be relieved. But someone said that if you let them go, they may not let you go. I heard from the old man at home that the little evil spirit is not scary, as long as it is
If you burn it with fire, it will turn into ashes, and you won't be able to become a monster even if you want to!
When the madam heard this, she was heartbroken and asked the thugs to find some firewood, tie a few children together and pile some firewood around them, and prepare to burn them!
Hence the scene before.
Qie Yuan, who had heard the conversation of these people clearly, was extremely angry at this time. In the eyes of these heartless people, children who have been tortured and struggled to survive are evil spirits and must be killed. Then those children
What about people who do evil?
The little bun next to him suddenly whispered, "I saw my dad."
Qie Yuan followed his gaze and saw a middle-aged man wearing silk clothes standing in the crowd. The man, like the people around him, shouted the slogan "Burn the evil spirits to death", and did not seem to notice that he was among them.
Like a son.
Qie Yuan heard him say, "Actually, before my mother died, my father was very good to us. But when my mother died, my mother felt unlucky and wouldn't let him bury her. I watched a group of people roll up the straw mat and carry my mother."
gone."
Qi Yuan suddenly felt sad.
Little Mantou was still talking, "I wasn't actually dead at that time. Sister Shu said I just fainted, but my mother had wanted me to be dead for a long time. Seeing me faint, she probably thought I was dead without even looking at it.
Well, when I woke up on the straw mat and found that I was buried, I cried in despair, but I thought about seeing my mother again, and I wasn’t so sad anymore.”
"But Sister Shu came and said she heard my voice. At first I thought it would be good to die, but when Sister Shu dug up the soil, I saw the stars in the sky and I still cried. Sister Shu is here
The person next to me comforted me and told me that I still wanted to live."
"Sister Shu, are you coming back?" Little Mantou murmured.
Won't come.
They pretended to be smart and sneaked out. Sister Shu would definitely be angry. Sister Shu brought each of them to that ruined temple. It was they who built that simple little home with their own hands. What they lost, in the past few months,
Slowly rediscovering it, they realized for the first time that this is what home feels like.
It's because they are too self-righteous. Every time Sister Shu comes to the city, she only brings one person with her so as not to reveal their identity. But they keep saying that they want to retrieve Qie Yuan's memory, but what is their actual purpose?
It's good now, they were taken over from the same pot, and no one came back to save them this time.
Ji Yuan fell silent.
Are you really going to die here?
When Qi Yuan thought of this possibility, he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
It was like this again, a fate that he could never control. It was like this then and it is like this now.
Qi Yuan was suddenly stunned.
That time was...
A picture suddenly flashed through his mind. The picture was fleeting and too fast for him to catch. Qi Yuan wanted to recall it carefully, but it only caused waves of headaches.
He closed his eyes in pain and let out a moan. He shook his head vigorously, trying to drive away the pain. But at this moment, a figure suddenly came to mind.
“····”
"return."
"return."
"come back to me."
He opened his eyes suddenly, and next to him was Erya's low cry, and not far away were people cheering like a carnival. He left those sounds behind and tried hard to chase the sounds in his mind.
"come back to me."
"come back to me."
"return."
Qi Yuan indeed heard a voice. The voice seemed to come from the depths of his mind, calling him constantly. Qi Yuan felt it was so weird that he actually felt disgusted with the voice.
who?
Who is calling me.
Who are you?!
He questioned in his mind, and the voice seemed to be a real living creature, and it actually responded to him.
"destroy···"
"Destroy everything."
"Do you want to live?"
Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment, and the ethereal voice took on physical form at that moment, like a devil whispering in his ears, repeating itself endlessly.
"Do you want to live?"
"Destroy everything."
"Kill everyone."
"come back to me."
Qi Yuan's heart suddenly tightened, and he felt that the devil reached out to him. As long as he responded to the other party, the devil could help him eliminate the harm, and he could easily escape from the current situation. But the price was to make a deal with the devil.
There is a price to pay.
Qie Yuan thought that the price would probably be the people around him. If everything was destroyed, they would also die.
Little Mantou closed his eyes and did not look at his father in the crowd, as if he had resigned himself to his fate. Little Shizi's face was red, and he kept scolding the crowd, which only attracted everyone's contempt. Xiaoxi sighed and looked at the sky.
Erya's eyes were red and she murmured: "Sister Shu."
Congratulations Shu.
Qie Yuan thought of this name, and he thought of the pair of eyes he met when he woke up. They were as clear as the sky after the rain, without a trace of haze. When she looked at her, he felt like he was in a clear spring.
I want to sink quietly.
In fact, Qie Yuan did sink.
Like other children, he called her "Sister Shu" affectionately. Seeing her gentle smile and the gentle brushing of her palms over her head brought a strange feeling. He greedily felt the touch and even wanted to hold her hands.
Qi Yuan didn't know what love was, but he thought that his love for Zhu Shu was probably because he wanted to see her smile all the time.
At that moment, he was saved by that smile.
Qi Yuan let out a heavy breath, closed his eyes, and rejected the voice.
He knew that he might die, but he didn't want to be looked at by that person with hatred. Maybe if he died here, he could stay in her memory forever. This chapter has been completed!
