Chapter 548 The sequel to Xiao Qi

Chapter 548 The sequel to Xiao Qi

I always thought that my sister and I were not my parents' children.

After all, even the poorest families in the village would not treat their children like this.

I thought they didn't like that I was a boy, so they beat, scolded and disliked me at every turn.

But after Yueyue was born, our life became even harder.

When she was just three months old, my mother-in-law was no longer willing to feed her milk. My father, who hung out with those gangsters all day long, would not care about us. I could only secretly grab a handful of rice every day and boil it. After it dies, feed it to Yueyue.

Yueyue is very obedient, her little one looks at me with round eyes.

I have to go up the mountain to collect firewood and cut pig grass.

My mother-in-law wouldn't care about her, so I could only tie her in front of me with two strips of cloth, leaving my back free to carry the basket.

Sometimes when I see some wild fruit on the mountain, I will pick a few, squeeze out the juice, and feed her some.

There was an aunt in the village who saw that we were pitiful, so she would secretly stuff some thick flour wowo to me. When I didn't steal any rice, I would soak the wowo in hot water and feed it to her.

Later, when Yueyue grew up, my father and mother asked Yueyue to wash clothes at home, and asked me to go back to the mountains farther away to dig wild vegetables.

Yueyue was only over a year old at that time. She watched me leave and stood blankly in the yard, waiting for me to come home.

Most of the uncles and aunts in the village are good people, but everyone is not well off, and my parents are still alive. I can't always hope that others will take pity on us and give us some food.

There are many children in the village. Every time they call me a beggar, I wonder, why can't those two people die?

Even if they died, I could take Yueyue to beg in an open and honest manner.

At least I no longer have to suffer their contemptuous laughter.

The first time I saw Lin Nanzhi was the day she got married.

When I was found out about stealing rice, my parents beat my sister and I and punished us with not being able to eat for three days.

When passing by his yard, Yueyue and I happened to see the bride getting off the bullock cart.

She is so beautiful.

So does the smile.

There is always a big table set up for banquets in the village, but my parents are not popular, and naturally we, brother and sister, cannot join in.

We could only hide quietly behind the courtyard wall and listen to the excitement coming from the courtyard.

I didn't expect to see her at that moment.

We sat on the edge of the courtyard wall and shared a small nest. She leaned on the courtyard wall and looked at us.

"Hey kid, catch it."

What she dropped were two red eggs.

When I met her again later, she and Brother Xiaolang were standing together.

I think she is a good person and should have a smooth life.

But Brother Xiaolang is missing.

I watched her carrying her child on her back again and running up the back hill.

Her uncle and aunt fell ill one after another, and the burden on her shoulders became heavier and heavier.

Finally, it was just her and a little baby.

I think it shouldn't be like this, but I can't help much because I still have Yueyue.

Yueyue and I also lived a very difficult life.

No one thought that Brother Xiaolang would come back.

Her life should get better.

The earth cow turned over.

The two men wanted to run away, but I blocked the outside of the door with firewood.

They died in that room.

People in the village said that Yueyue and I were pitiful. Only I knew how happy Yueyue and I were. Those two people had gone to hell.

I no longer have to watch little Yueyue washing the whole family's clothes alone.

That disgusting person will never put his hand into Yueyue's pants again.

I can finally live alone with Yueyue.

Not even two days into her good days, Yueyue's illness became more serious. She was so small that she could touch her bones directly.

The woman helped us again.

The village began to flee.

The food prepared by Yueyue and I was stolen.

Grandpa Wang saw how pitiful we were and took us with him.

But he died among the refugees in order to protect us.

Wang Jingzhi should hate us.

He left with Grandpa Wang's body, and Yueyue and I once again had nothing to rely on.

She was so young and shouldn't have died in this dirty place.

I met Yuan Bao.

She is fair and tender, and has many people who love her.

I think it would be great if Yueyue could have days like hers.

Yuanbao likes me very much, and everyone says that I am her future husband.

But every time I see her shining eyes, I feel a little ashamed.

I knew that I stayed like a vampire just because of her love for me.

But I want Yueyue to live well and live a long life.

I don't dare to be too kind to Yuanbao. I know that if something is too easy to get, it will not be cherished.

But Yuanbao is such a good little girl.

She is kind, smart, lively, like a little sun.

Yueyue's condition is becoming more and more serious, and she seems to be more anxious than me.

She ran to Yancheng alone.

Just to be able to buy back the ginseng that saved Yueyue.

I know I like her, but I don't dare to show my true feelings.

The boss said that if I didn't like her, I should leave, instead of enjoying her goodness while rejecting her.

Yuanbao is back, but I don't seem to be the person she likes anymore.

She is still very kind to Yueyue. She will pick beautiful flowers and put them in the vase beside Yueyue's bed.

She would go and chat with Yueyue every day.

She is very nice to everyone in the village, except me.

I feel a little sad, but also a little relieved.

At least this way, Yueyue can stay.

But why do I feel so sad?

Until everyone moved to Datian Village, she still avoided me.

I saw her staying with other little dolls, protecting the person named Er Niu just like she protected me.

The sanity in my heart finally broke.

Why could the man named Er Niu be liked by Yuan Bao?

Why did those people scare her like that?

It was used when the person named Zhuzhu was violent again and I couldn't help it anymore.

I took off his whip and whipped him again and again.

The men left and I kicked him into the river.

Those splashes of water are so beautiful.

I don't want to worry about that person named Erniu.

But Yuan Bao liked him, so I carried him back.

I knew what I was doing would be discovered one day.

The old woman was not crazy, she just wanted to avenge her grandson.

I'm a little jealous, why does someone like Zhu Zhu have a grandmother who loves him so much.

I took out my knife, but I saw Yuanbao and Yueyue.

I can't let them see it.

I think that dying here should be my final destination.

The river water is so cold.

I seemed to see tears in the corners of Yuanbao's eyes.

If possible, I hope I can be the one to protect her next time.

I never thought I would still be alive.

I thought I was in the underworld, but the bleating sheep seemed to be real.

The person who saved me was a Hu businessman.

He said his name was Gu Lang and he was a businessman from the Western Regions to the Central Plains.

I didn’t know how to tell him that not only was it impossible to do business in Zhongyuan, it was also easy for people and goods to get involved.

He said he was going to Yancheng, where there was a girl he liked.

I have my own selfish motives.

There is a shortage of food everywhere now. Can I bring him back so that everyone can have meat to eat?

I don’t know what happened, but it seemed that he was extremely lucky. We didn’t encounter any other dangers along the way.

Only when we were in Huaiyang, we encountered a group of officers and soldiers who were attacked by water bandits.

I recognized that man. He was the general who lived in the village.

We drugged the water bandits' meals and rescued the injured officers and soldiers.

All the water bandits were wiped out, and the sheep that were about to starve to death once again had fodder.

Only then did I know that the general named Twelve had brought a lot of food this time and was on his way to Yancheng.

We finally set foot on the way back.

I can see Yueyue and Yuanbao again.

It's just that I feel a little sorry for Gu Lang, who saved me. I should have told him when he said the girl he liked was called Lin Nanzhi.

She is already married, and I am afraid that when we go back, her little baby will already be able to laugh.
