Xiangyang Village, at the exit of the village, has a primary school!
A black off-road vehicle drove slowly and stopped outside the school gate. In the car, Liu Mang quietly stared at the elementary school.
It seems... Ye Xin'er has a younger brother named Ye Xiaohu, who is studying here!
We set out from the city at eight o'clock, but it actually took us three hours to get to this small village.
Liu Mang looked at it for a while, but did not go in. He drove slowly towards Ye Xin'er's house.
In a dilapidated yard, a man with a wrinkled face pushed a middle-aged haggard woman in a wheelchair slowly.
Wandering around the yard.
After turning around again and again, neither of them spoke, and there was unconcealable sadness in their dark eyes.
"Old Ye, you said Xin'er... is really... really gone?" The woman's face was extremely pale, like a blank sheet of paper, she suddenly murmured
The way.
The middle-aged woman's words made the man's hands tremble slightly and his eyes became moist.
"More than ten days ago, someone called and said that someone would bring Xin'er's ashes back... But where are the people?" the middle-aged woman asked again
murmured.
"I don't know!" The middle-aged man shook his head bitterly.
"Old Ye, I... I miss Xin'er so much... If I had known this, I shouldn't have let her go to Haishi!" Tears fell from the middle-aged woman in the wheelchair.
The middle-aged man's expression also became extremely painful!
A few dozen meters away from the yard, a car was parked quietly... Inside the car, Liu Mang quietly looked at the couple in the dilapidated yard who were only in their forties but looked like they were sixty years old. Couple... His heart ached violently.
Because that couple is Ye Xin'er's father Ye Shu and mother Wang Xiaotao!
For this kind of family, a college student is their hope... But now, hope is gone, how desperate is that
Liu Mang held Ye Xin'er's urn in his hand... However, he didn't know how to face Ye Xin'er's old and haggard parents!
After a long time, Liu Mang took a deep breath and whispered to the urn: "Ye Xin'er, your hometown has arrived, I will take you home!"
Some things, no matter what, must be faced!
He slowly opened the car door and walked towards the dilapidated yard!
When Liu Mang was still ten meters away from the yard, the couple in the yard finally noticed Liu Mang... Looking at Liu Mang's unfamiliar face and the urn in Liu Mang's hand, the two of them trembled. , as if frozen on the spot! Only the tears were falling down!
They already guessed something... .
"Uncle Ye, Aunt Li, I sent Xin'er's ashes!"
As Liu Mang's heavy voice sounded, the middle-aged couple collapsed completely and burst into tears!
... ... .
Three days later, Liu Mang carried a spade and a shovel to a piece of land belonging to the Ye family and started digging!
This is the cemetery Liu Mang chose for Ye Xin'er!
Next to him were Ye Xin'er's younger brother Ye Xiaohu, as well as Ye Xin'er's parents and some relatives!
This is the land Liu Mang personally chose for Ye Xin'er, he wants to dig it himself!
It took a full three hours of digging to dig the grave!
"Xin'er, this is the place I personally selected for you... I will visit you often in the future!"
"Xin'er, don't worry, I will take good care of Uncle Ye and Xiaohu!"
"Xin'er, rest in peace!"
The sun filled the air and covered the earth. Liu Mang picked up the coffin containing Ye Xin'er's ashes and slowly placed it in the tomb, and then began to fill it with soil.
After finishing everything, Liu Mang stared at the small grave quietly, silently until sunset!
And beside him, there was also a stubborn little figure standing, it was Ye Xin'er's younger brother Ye Xiaohu!
This was not the first person to die because of Liu Mang, but he was the first person to die because of Liu Mang and whom he personally buried!
He looked at the grave in front of him quietly, his expression became a little confused and panicked!
His road is full of blood and death... Today Ye Xin'er died because of him, but what about tomorrow? ?
However, he could no longer retreat!
He once vowed to protect the people around him and prevent them from being harmed. However, reality broke his vow time and time again!
Along the way, too many people died because of him...
"Xiaohu, let's go!" It wasn't until dusk fell that Liu Mang gently patted Ye Xiaohu's shoulder, and then pulled him away slowly.
Ye Xiaohu held Liu Mang's hand tightly... tears kept falling. There are some things that he doesn't quite understand, but he knows that he has completely lost a sister who loves him...
Liu Mang gently wiped away Xiaohu's tears and whispered: "Xiaohu, don't cry. From now on, I am your brother, and I will take care of you and protect you!"
Ye Xiaohu nodded gently and held Liu Mang's hand tighter. From then on, he had a brother in his life!
Suddenly, Ye Xiaohu seemed to remember something. He raised his little head and said to Liu Mang expectantly: "Brother Liu, there is a parent-teacher meeting at our school tomorrow. Can you accompany me?"
"Parent-teacher meeting??" Liu Mang was slightly startled... He attended many meetings, but never attended a parent-teacher meeting.
Then, he gently rubbed Xiaohu's head and said, "Okay, I will go to school with you tomorrow to attend the parent-teacher meeting!"
Soon, Liu Mang took Ye Xiaohu back to the village, but when he just walked to the door of Ye Xiaohu's yard, he heard Xiaohu's parents begging from home: "Wu Hu, fifty thousand yuan, I really want to take it." Don’t come out!”
"Huh? You can't get it out? Why didn't you think of it when you borrowed the money?" A fat man snorted in the room. He is a well-known gangster in the village, named Wu Hu. He was followed by a few Ma Chai thugs.
"But, we only borrowed 20,000 yuan, why should we pay back 50,000 yuan?" Ye Xiaohu's father said with some confusion.
"The extra thirty thousand is interest!"
"Thirty thousand interest? This... how is this possible? You didn't say you wanted interest at the beginning!" Xiaohu's father, Ye Shu, was shocked.
"Didn't I tell you now?" Wu Hu said indifferently.
"But...but we don't have any money. We agreed at the beginning that we would pay it back to you after Xin'er graduates..."
"But your daughter is dead! Everything is invalid!" Wu Hu said indifferently again.
"We...we have no money now!" Ye Shu's old face instantly turned pale.
"Well, Ye Shu, I only dared to borrow money because you wanted your daughter to go to a key university and be able to repay it in the future.
Here you go, you are actually saying something like this now. I think you don’t want to pay back the money because your daughter is dead, right? "
Ye Shu's heart ached violently because of Wu Hu's words.
A few months ago, in order to raise money for Ye Xin'er's tuition, he borrowed 20,000 from Wu Hu. At that time, because Ye Xin'er was studying in college in Haishi, Wu Hu was very talkative, even polite, and explained that no interest was required. However, he didn't expect that when he heard the news of Ye Xin'er's death today, he came directly to ask for money, and he also added 30,000 yuan in interest!
If Ye Xin'er is still here, relying on Ye Xin'er's status as a graduate of Haishi University, he will definitely get a job with a guaranteed job in the future. Maybe he will be in a high position in a few years... He Wu Hu is just a gangster in the village. , naturally wanted to please him from now on, but with the death of Ye Xin'er... this kind of consideration disappeared, and he directly bullied her!
Although Ye Shu is an honest rural person, he still understands these principles.
He smiled miserably, and then said with a pleading voice: "Wu Hu, we must pay back this money! However, we only borrowed 20,000 yuan before... and it was only for less than half a year... . ”
"Pah!" The man slapped Ye Shu on the face: "Stop talking nonsense, I just ask you, why don't you pay it back?"
"But, we only borrowed 20,000 yuan, we shouldn't need that much..."
"Pa!" As soon as Ye Shu finished his words, Wu Hu slapped him again and said coldly: "Tonight, you have to pay back if you don't want to pay back, and you have to pay back if you don't. If you can't pay back, then use your homestead as compensation. , use your land as mortgage!"
This slap directly knocked Ye Shu to the ground, and his mouth was bleeding, but Ye Shu could no longer bother to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and begged in horror and misery: "Wu Hu, you... you can't do this. Are you asking us to The life of the family!”
In rural areas, homestead and land are fundamental!
Without these two things, how can they live without any survival skills or knowledge
This is simply murder!
"No? I'll beat you until you want to!" Wu Hu snorted coldly, and then said to the gangsters around him: "Go ahead, destroy him!"
"You dare??" At this moment, a cold voice spread throughout the room like thunder!
The vibrating sound made everyone tremble, and they looked outside the room. Suddenly, I saw a young man walking in indifferently holding a child.
Seeing this young man, Wu Hu's heart trembled inexplicably. From this man, he felt a sense of joy in his heart.

"Who... are you?" Wu Hu stared at Liu Mang.
Liu Mang pulled Ye Xiaohu forward step by step, his eyes getting colder and colder.
He didn't expect that there would be bullies in such a small mountain village.
Today, he still swore in front of Ye Xin'er's grave that he would take good care of the Ye family. He never thought that reality would slap him hard in that moment...
