Some uninformed people in Miao City were panicked. They didn't understand why their man went out and became a rebel when he came back.
The women and the old men were almost scared out of their wits, shaking their bodies from crying but not daring to cry out, they pulled their men and begged them not to do this.
"Son, this is a serious crime of beheading, beheading!"
"No matter how big our entire Miao City is, it will definitely not be able to compete with the imperial court. At that time, Yunzhou alone will kill us..."
"What can I do, what should I do..."
The old lady with a broken leg was sitting on the bed, her cloudy old eyes were full of despair, "Run away quickly, don't worry about mother, run away quickly..."
"mother."
The simple-looking man knelt in front of his mother's bed, held her cold and dry hands because there was no thick quilt, and his eyes were full of determination, "Those officials don't intend to give us a way out, since we will die sooner or later, It’s better to fight.”
"no no… "
The old lady was still crying, her trembling hands became colder and colder, "Decapitated, decapitated..."
Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, the man simply refused to persuade him. He got up, put the rice soup boiled in the pot into a bowl, and served it. The rich rice fragrance filled the whole room.
"Mom, let's eat."
The man carefully blew on the rice soup in the bowl, and said in a warm voice, "Even if you die, it's worth it if you can eat for a few days before you die."
Seeing that he filled two bowls full, the old lady didn't look like he used to. She was hungry, and she finally got all the food for her to eat, and lied to her that she was full.
His own son knew that the old lady's eyes were getting more and more red, so he took one of the bowls.
"Okay, even if we die, our mother and I will be together!"
She drank the rice soup, and the food entered her intestines, which brought a burst of warmth in her body, and her hands and feet were not as cold as before.
This made the old lady feel better, not because of the food, but because the new owner at least regarded them as human beings and was willing to give them rations.
She was worried and grateful at the same time, she didn't close her eyes that night and recited one of the few sutras she knew.
Pray for my son, bless him in peace, pray for good people, bless him to really hold on.
The next day, she sat on the bed, reluctant to watch her son leave, and when she saw him leave, she couldn't help crying again.
I'm afraid, this is farewell.
She had been sitting on the bed looking at the sky outside, hoping and hoping, hoping that her child would come back alive.
At dusk, she held the food left by her son in the morning, but she couldn't eat any of it, and she didn't know what to do in her heart.
Why haven't you come back yet? Could it be that the imperial court has sent troops
"mother!!"
Just when she was thinking this way, the man entered the door with a smile all over his face. He came to the bedside, pointed at his majestic military uniform and asked, "Does it look good?"
"Look, mother, there is a heart protector here, so it's warm enough to wear."
The old lady felt relieved, and stretched out her hand to hold her son's hand. As expected, she felt warmth. Her child was still talking, "Today we are training with the adults. I am the first batch because of my good training." Those who have received the clothes have to wait for the workshop to make the rest.”
The smile on his face has not come down since he entered the door, "Mother, I went to ask the doctor, and he will come to help you diagnose the disease in a while. Today's food is ready, and there is meat. In the second ten days, we will be alone." I shared half an egg, and the adults said that the egg can be taken home, you see."
The man took out half an egg wrapped in cloth from his bosom as if offering a treasure. Although the egg was a bit cold because of the cold weather, he still smiled happily when he watched the old lady eat it.
He sat by the bed and held his mother's hand, "Mom, is it delicious?"
The old lady tasted the eggs she hadn't eaten for many years, and she smiled with tears in her eyes, "It's delicious, it's delicious."
"Do you have eggs every day? Don't bring them to your mother in the future. You have worked hard in training and need to replenish your body."
"Don't be afraid! My lord said that among the most outstanding performers every day, fifty people will be assigned to give out rewards. Today's reward is my armor. Tomorrow I will choose from food and meat. I will be even better tomorrow." Practicing in earnest, I brought some meat to eat with my mother."
"Okay, okay, take a rest..."
"Mom, let me boil water for you first. Today the doctor said that the weather is cold, so you need to soak your feet a lot. Have you finished eating what I gave you? Let's make another pot of rice soup."
The man was tired all day today, and kept repeating the tricks of killing people from those adults. His arms were so tired, but he saw the old mother sitting by the bed, soaking her feet in a wooden barrel comfortably, thinking of Today I went out together with forty-nine other people, and when I received the armor, the envious eyes of the people below made me feel so beautiful.
The mother and son drank the rice soup. In this cold winter, the whole body warmed up. The man cherished taking off the armor made of solid warm materials, and covered the sleeping mother.
He thought, when he came back tomorrow, he would buy a quilt to cover his mother. Although the price was a bit more expensive, he just got two taels of silver in his hand, so it was not impossible to get it out.
The man lay on the kang, and before he closed his eyes and went to sleep, he still thought in his heart that he must work harder tomorrow, and brought the meat to his mother to eat.
That night, almost all the men who were recruited into the army thought so.
If we talk about the training on the first day, these honest guys who are used to farm work have not put in much effort, then after knowing that the best rewards will be selected every day, everyone worked hard on the second day.
In the winter, everyone practiced sweating profusely, but everyone refused to show their slump.
They drank desperately, because they were afraid of hurting their own people, and they were communicating with wooden knives.
"Drink! Ha!"
On the temporary drill site, the second standing tall, looked down at the recruits who had already gained momentum, and nodded in satisfaction.
The little soldier on the side rang the big bell, and the recruits who were still chopping each other for practice just stopped immediately and stood back to their positions.
People in uniforms came over pushing a cauldron, and there were two food-distributing men standing in front of each line.
After yesterday, the recruits were not restless, but stood obediently, and went forward one by one to claim their share. The smell of meat filled the air, and the recruits ate hungrily, grateful to the new master they followed in their hearts. .
Today, there was still half an egg for one person, and Hou Er stood on it and announced that he would rest for an hour. After an hour, everyone will return to their positions.
After the announcement was over, he looked at the striding men who left here with joy on their faces, and smiled at Mo Da next to him, "Your Excellency is kind enough to give them time to go home and deliver eggs."
Mo Da also smiled, with admiration for Wei Mingyan in his eyes, "Your Excellency has always been considerate in every aspect."
The people in charge of the soldiers and horses in Yunzhou are dead, and now the dragons have no leader, and they erected their bows and arrows high in the city. Even if Yunzhou sends troops, these recruits will look good.
The family members of the recruits were anxiously waiting at home for the return of the pillars of the family. Although they had received silver taels, they were able to eat enough, but as long as they thought that they were facing the entire court this time, they would feel extremely panicked.
The sick and weak woman was sewing the clothes in her hands under the sunlight, when the neighbor lady came in, "Qiu Niang, I'm here to make rice soup for you, where is Xiaogenzi? Why didn't you see him playing outside?"
With a pale face, Qiuniang forced out a smile, "I sent him to my sister-in-law."
Her sister-in-law is pregnant now, and was sent to her mother's house by her brother last night to take care of her. There are three males in the sister-in-law's family who did not join the army.
Today Qiuniang asked her husband to take a bag of food and sent her son to her sister-in-law's house. If something happened, the sister-in-law's family was kind and would definitely take her child to escape.
"You are just too cautious."
The aunt next door sighed, "I heard from my son that the senior official in charge of the army in Yunzhou died suddenly. We are far away from the capital, and it will take ten and a half months for the emperor to receive the news. Wait until he sends troops over , we are also prepared."
Seeing that Qiuniang just smiled bitterly, the aunt said again, "Don't believe me, my son was a soldier in the imperial court. He said that if there is a real fight, it is not certain who will win and who will lose."
Qiuniang knew that the man next door was one of the first batch to join the army seven years ago, and was kicked out in the third year because of a broken arm. Although the aunt next door almost cried into tears, she thought about what to do. The son also saved his life, and he cheered up to take good care of him.
Afterwards, that man has been doing dirty work all the time. This time, when he heard that the government was recruiting soldiers, no one else dared to go, but he went directly to find them.
Although he couldn't fight the enemy because he didn't have a neighbor, he was also assigned to deliver food. Others were worried all day long that they, who had just woken up, would be wiped out by the court, but the man didn't worry at all.
When he returned home yesterday, he was still talking to his mother. The soldiers in the imperial court didn’t have enough to eat or wear warm clothes. The clothes on their bodies were thin, and the inside was black when they were taken apart. In exchange, he had an arm cut off because of the sharp blade, lack of food and lack of strength.
Later, he was kicked out directly without getting any money. If it wasn't for the military doctor in the army who had a good relationship with him and secretly helped him deal with it briefly, he wouldn't have survived to go home.
This man with a broken arm has a quick mind, and he can see clearly that all the troops are now going to fight with neighboring countries, and only a small part is left. They can't get enough to kill the enemy, let alone those who are left behind. .
The husband of the aunt next door died early, and she was just a single seedling. Naturally, he believed what he said. When others were still frightened and timid, she had volunteered to take over the job of helping the neighbor take care of his wife who had just had a miscarriage.
The rice soup was boiling, and the aunt also brought clothes. While making the clothes, she chatted with Qiu Niang one after another. Suddenly, two joking and laughing men came in from the yard. Laughed.
"Look, let me tell you that your mother is at my house."
"Why are you back, but what happened?"
Qiuniang asked the question almost immediately, and her mind was at its peak.
"No, the adults gave us an hour to rest, and I got eggs again, so I thought about bringing them back for you to eat."
Seeing his wife's worried look, the man's expression instantly softened, and he escaped and handed the half egg that had been keeping warm in his arms to his wife.
"Hurry up and eat it. At night, I won the meat to take home to eat."
"Don't talk big." The man with the broken arm grew up with him, and he was like a brother. He laughed when he heard it, "I watched it today, and everyone worked hard, especially the bamboo. His child was just born. , in order to make up for my daughter-in-law, I didn't stop for a moment."
"Didn't I rest too?"
After the broken-armed man laughed at his brother, he carefully gave half of his egg to his mother, "Mom, eat this egg soon, it's still hot."
"Mother, don't. You've been tired all day. You've worked harder than your mother. You eat."
"Ma'am, you can just eat it. We ate it in the army. There is meat every day, and the appetite is even more abundant. I ate two big bowls by myself. If it wasn't for fear of eating too much, it would be difficult to practice." , I can still eat three bowls."
"Yeah, mother, don't worry about us. We are eating well. Today, the army has killed so many chickens. Your Excellency is kind and said that half of the eggs are at our disposal. Isn't it for us to eat?" You can bring your family to eat."
Qiuniang was also hesitating at first, fearing that she would eat her husband and starve her stomach. It can be seen that both of them had smiles on their faces, relaxed like never seen before, and their hearts gradually relaxed, and they ate the eggs one bite at a time.
"Drink some water, come..."
The man waited carefully, and when his wife finished eating, he quickly handed him a glass of water, "Qiu Niang, you can take care of yourself, don't worry, I have food every month, from now on, I will never starve you again."
After seeing that both of them had finished eating, the two men got up and rushed to the army.
Although it was said to be an hour's rest, he still wanted to squeeze in among the fifty people. Of course, he had to spare all his time for practice. The men with broken arms also rushed back. They also have a reward system, and he also wanted to I want to bring food to my mother at night.
When the two arrived, there were already many people practicing on the court. Judging from the sweat on their foreheads, they should be the same as them. They rushed over to deliver eggs to their homes.
With everyone working so hard, Xianggong Qiuniang suddenly felt oppressed, and he didn't rest, he quickly joined the team and continued to practice seriously.
"drink!!"
"ha!!"
The strong voices of the young and middle-aged came to the top, and Hou Er and Mo Dayi held a bowl and ate. They are Wei Mingyan's confidantes, and they have special treatment. Each of them has a big chicken leg.
Wearing thick and warm clothes and eating the best food, he should be happy to be called an adult when he walks out, but eating delicious chicken drumsticks, Mo Da's heart is full of worries.
"Hou Er, do you think those officers and soldiers who escaped really know the whereabouts of the children?"
As soon as they came to power, the officers and soldiers who were working for tigers fled one after another, and the few who still took care of their families were not the original group at all.
Now they are dispatched to arrest them, but the city was only closed early this morning, and no one is sure whether those officers and soldiers have escaped.
They themselves eat well and dress well, but as long as they think that their children may still be hungry, how can they be happy.
Hou Er took a bite of the chicken leg, with a firm expression on his face, "If the adults say they will find the children, they will definitely find them."
"I trust my lord."
The two stopped discussing this topic, and were discussing which one performed the best in the morning and who should be rewarded, a brother who followed Wei Mingyan hurried up,
"Second Brother, Third Brother, those escaped officers and soldiers have been caught, and they have just been escorted to the government. The adults have interrogated the whereabouts of the children. Let me tell you to go back."
***
When Mo Dahou Er hurried over, Wei Mingyan had already sent people to arrest the confessed Ren Yazi.
"grown ups!"
Hou Er's eyes turned red with excitement, "Did you really find it!"
Wei Mingyan looked at the former officers and soldiers who were kneeling on the ground, trembling with fright, "Say what you confessed just now."
"Yes Yes!"
The officers and soldiers kowtowed desperately, and said tremblingly, "The villain was ordered to go to Sanju Village to lead people. A villager had no relatives at home. He refused to follow him to the battlefield and fled to the mountains."
"Later the others were taken away first, and we went to arrest him, but when he went down the mountain, he suddenly shouted in front of the villagers that there were treasures hidden on the mountain, and there was a lot of gold, so we let us take the gold and let him go. "
"At first we didn't take it seriously, but gold was indeed found on him. After taking it back, the adults sent people to search, but they couldn't find it all night. On the second day, he sent us to go to the Call all the people in the village together and ask the whereabouts of the gold one by one."
Mo Da clenched his fists tightly, and looked at the kneeling person on the ground with red eyes, "Why did you force me to ask you!"
"We, we..." The man's eyes flickered a few times in fear, "After we gathered people together, we asked clearly which people belonged to the same family. Killed the junior face to face..."
"My lord, my lord, we are also being forced! If we don't follow suit, we will die..."
In front of the old man, he killed the junior...
What is the difference between that and gouging out their hearts.
With great pain, he closed his eyes and thought of the old mother at home. What about her, did she also watch helplessly, watching her junior being killed in pain? What about his daughter...
"I, I'm going to kill you... kill you!!"
With red eyes, he drew his knife in a voice that was almost roaring, and rushed forward. The former officers and soldiers were so frightened that they scrambled and scrambled to dodge. While hiding, they kowtowed desperately, "My lord, my lord, please, please..."
"Brother!"
Hou Er stopped him, his eyes were full of tears, but he was calmer than Mo Da, he looked at the limp person on the ground coldly, as if he was looking at a dead person.
"Where are the children? Where did you take the children?"
"Children, children are alive, alive..."
The officers and soldiers seemed to have found a chance to survive, and said repeatedly with snot and tears on their faces, "At that time, the adults wanted us to kill all of us, but the master followed and said that instead of killing these children, it is better to sell them and earn money." Brothers silver and silver split equally."
"Later, later we contacted Ren Yazi. Those good-looking teenagers in the past were all sold to her..."
"My lord, my lord, please don't kill me. This is all my lord... No!! This is all the idea of the dog officer. It was he who wanted gold, but he killed the whole village without asking whereabouts. In the end They also let us pretend to be robbers and enter the village, and took away all the property in the village. Afterwards, we searched on the mountain for several days and nights but failed to find any gold. The dog officer was so angry that he ordered us not to collect the corpse... "
"It's all, it's all his fault..."
Wei Mingyan raised his eyes and looked at the plaque hanging in the courtroom.
- fair and honest
"After the questioning, he will leave it to you, deal with it quickly, and don't dirty the place."
Hearing the words of the adults in the hall, Hou Erhong looked up and responded respectfully, "Yes."
With one hand, he picked up the man on the ground whose head was covered in bruises.
Regardless of his miserable howls, he dragged him to the ground and walked outside.
Outside, the brothers who received the news all waited quietly.
Seeing that person, hatred eyes instantly fell on him.
"ah-"
"Forgive me—"
"My lord, my lord..."
The boy who came to deliver tea to Wei Mingyan looked outside worriedly, "Master, is it all right?"
"They have been suppressed for too long, and they also need to vent."
The man slowly picked up the tea and sipped it, slightly raised his eyes to look at the boy he rescued from prison, "How is your sister?"
Thinking of his sister, pain flashed across the boy's eyes, "Since she killed those two yamen servants who insulted her yesterday, she has been bored in the house and refused to come out."
"Ask her for me if she is willing to do things for me. If she is willing, I will teach her martial arts, but if she wants to go far away to do things for me, if she is not willing, you can find someone else, and I will come to pay the dowry. people get married."
The young man couldn't believe it at first, and then quickly knelt on the ground, his face full of gratitude, "Thank you, sir! Ziyu will never forget the grace of saving my life, sir! I will definitely repay my lord like a cow and a horse!"
Their family died and fled, and now only he and his sister are left in Nuo Da's family.
At the beginning, he chose a place like Miaocheng after thousands of choices. He thought that although his life would be miserable from now on, at least his life would be saved.
Unexpectedly, the government is rampant here, and the yamen servant is even more bullying. He broke into the house and forcibly humiliated his sister, and even kidnapped several people to share the pleasure. prison.
If it wasn't for being rescued by the person in front of him and giving them a chance to take revenge, how could his poor sister survive to this day.
"You don't need to be an ox or a horse. You are capable. Just study the art of war and help me achieve great things."
Wei Mingyan heard the miserable howling outside gradually fade away, and then he was called, and Ren Yazi, who had been listening tremblingly, came in.
That Ren Yazi witnessed the tragic situation of the officers and soldiers just now, he was so frightened that he peed his pants long ago, and after being dragged up by others, he immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"My lord, my lord, I didn't do anything, my lord, please let me go, my lord..."
"I ask you."
Wei Mingyan showed no signs of softening towards her begging for mercy, "Seven years ago, you sold those children in Sanju Village to where!"
"Three Giant Village..."
There are so many people selling human teeth, and seven years have passed, how can I still think about it.
"I, I don't remember my lord..."
"My lord, please let me go..."
"Can not remember?"
Wei Mingyan knocked on the table and waved to his subordinate who was standing respectfully, "She's useless, take her out and kill her."
"yes!"
"don't want!!!"
Ren Yazi was almost scared out of her wits, she searched her mind desperately, and finally remembered what happened seven years ago in the thought of surviving.
"My lord!! I remember I remember!!"
"The children in Sanju Village were handed over to me by the government, but they said they were secretly sold. I remember, I remember adults!!"
Seeing her talking, Wei Mingyan asked, "Where did you sell the child to?"
She kowtowed desperately, "It's been so long, I really don't remember, my lord..."
"Okay, drag it out and chop it."
"No! No! I remember, I remember!"
Ren Yazi's eyes widened in horror, and the smell of urine was exposed from under her body. Her voice was so sharp that it almost broke, "My lord, I remembered!"
"When I sold those children back then, Master Jin came to look for me and wrote down their names and whereabouts! I don't remember, but Master Jin must remember, my lord!"
"My lord, please, I was also forced by the government. They are the government. I have to do whatever they ask me to do! Please don't kill me..."
"The government forced it?"
The adult in the hall showed a mocking face, "As a human being, as long as others are willing to give you children, they will accept them regardless of the source or where they go. After leaving you, your parents came to your door. Not only did you not return the child, but you even beat him up. They reported to the government, and you bought the government. There was nothing serious about it, but you hated those parents and beat their son who was born so well. Dead, left at the door of the house."
"These are also forced by the government?"
Looking at Ren Yazi, who had despair in his eyes and wanted to defend himself, Wei Mingyan patted the gavel heavily.
"You say whatever the government asks you to do, you can do whatever you want. Now I am the government."
"Drag it on and temporarily imprison it. At noon tomorrow, it will be executed in front of the entire Miao City people."
"My lord!! My lord, please don't, my lord, please..."
Seeing Ren Yazi being dragged away, Wei Mingyan asked the young man beside him, "Do you know why you will be executed tomorrow?"
The young man replied respectfully, "Relying on her contacts with the government, that person Yazi is rampant in buying and selling children in the city. The most abominable thing is that if any high-ranking official takes a fancy to the daughter of a good family, she will force her to come and buy her forcibly." Selling it by force, kidnapping the girl who made a marriage contract and giving it to the old man to play with."
"The people in the city hated her to the bone. Your lord beheaded her in front of the people. The people are naturally grateful to you."
Wei Mingyan nodded in satisfaction, "Let's go and meet that Master Jin."
Master Jin was the only one who didn't run for his life when the government was breached, but sat quietly in the study and cooperated with being taken away.
He was locked in a cell alone, and he didn't eat or drink since he entered, sitting by the wall all the time, not knowing what he was thinking.
When the cell door opened and he saw a heroic man in white, he opened his eyes and said softly, "The whereabouts of those children are all recorded on paper, you go to the study room, open Zhongyong, the thirteenth page is .”
Wei Mingyan smiled, not too surprised, "You know why I came to you."
"At the beginning of the conscription, I assigned people to escort them. All the middle-aged men in Sanju Village were taken away. I was very impressed."
Master Jin showed a wry smile, looked behind the man, and looked at Mo Da himself with red eyes, "Jin has a photographic memory since he was a child, and it's easy to memorize the faces of some people."
"You have such a talent, but you become a dog official and lackey, and you harm the people with him!"
Mo Da looked at him with hatred in his eyes, wishing he could pounce on him and eat his flesh raw.
"Yeah, I have such a talent, but instead of serving the country and the people, I harmed the people..."
Master Jin murmured, smiled slowly, and smiled, tears fell down his old cheeks.
"But I am by the corrupt official's side, but I can make him let go of many people."
"I know what you say about me, that I have no conscience, that I was born and raised by Miaocheng, but I'm going to give advice to corrupt officials and help him harm his fellow villagers."
"But once you get on the boat, how can you get off easily?"
"My lord..." Master Jin looked at Wei Mingyan with red eyes and smiled, "You are a good official. If I had been in office, I would have met you."
Trembling, he took out an ingot of gold, looked at it with hatred in his eyes, "It's because of these things that corrupt officials harm people, and the people live in dire straits..."
"The emperor is fatuous, his relatives are in power, the country is in turmoil, internal and external troubles..."
"grown ups… "
With tears in his eyes, Master Jin slowly raised his head to look at Wei Mingyan, "Yunzhou is the closest to Miaocheng, you can take Yunzhou first, the Weicheng is guarded by General Zhao, he has always been dissatisfied with the emperor, he just forcibly tolerated it, you can secretly Communication, as long as the relatives of General Zhao who were detained in Beijing are rescued, he will definitely help you."
"All the money and property that a corrupt official is greedy for is in the secret room behind his study. There is a cliff in the back mountain of Sanju Village. If you hang it down 13 feet, there will be a cave that hides 30,000 taels of gold from Yunzhou."
"My lord, remember, those who want the hearts of the people win the world."
After he finished speaking, he raised his neck and swallowed the gold in his hand before everyone could react.
"Hey! You..."
Mo Da was stunned.
He hurried forward to rescue him, but Mr. Jin had already swallowed the piece of gold in his stomach, and he couldn't save it anymore.
"My lord... please tell my mother..."
With a pale face, he slowly smiled, "The child is not a bad person, please forgive her..."
If you commit suicide by swallowing gold, you will not be saved at all, but will die in pain.
Master Jin had many ways to die happily, but he chose the most painful one, so he wanted to atone for his sin.
"My lord, he, he..."
Mo Da was in a trance, Mr. Jin, isn't he a bastard who helps evildoers
"He doesn't want to live in this world anymore." Wei Mingyan knelt down, took out a dagger, and inserted it into the old man's chest with a grateful smile.
"I will let the whole world know what you have done."
Master Jin smiled, shed tears, and said softly, "Thank you..."
He slowly closed his eyes.
Finally, I can sleep peacefully.
No guilt, no despair, no pain when looking at the disgusting eyes of the people.
very nice.
***
Ten days later
The people in Yunzhou were working as usual, and when they suddenly saw the officers and soldiers passing by them in a panic, they looked at them with curiosity and fear.
"Have you heard! It seems that the rebellious Miaocheng is calling."
"Didn't Miaocheng rebel just a month ago?"
"Yeah, that's too fast."
The common people did not flee for their lives as if they were invaded by an enemy country. In their minds, Miao City would definitely be unwinnable.
Maybe even the city gate can't get in.
The only worry is whether the government will take advantage of this opportunity to ask for benefits again.
The thoughts of the people on the street gradually began to panic with the news from outside.
The troops that Miaocheng had trained for more than ten days were not very professional, but they did not know where they got the bows and arrows.
There are not many bows and arrows in Yunzhou, they are all swallowed up by the upper officials, so there are no bows and arrows left.
When Yunzhou City was broken, there was panic everywhere.
Some people closed their doors tightly and dared not come out, while others hid in cellars.
On the street, there was actually no one in the past.
When soldiers from Miaocheng entered the city, they first broke into the largest brothel.
Upstairs, under the table, the teenage girl with a mole under the corner of her eye hugged the little girl in her arms tightly in fear.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, sister will protect you."
"Sister, I'm afraid..." The little girl who was only a few years old huddled in her arms, and looked timidly at the closed door with her big eyes.
She raised her eyes, her delicate face was full of despair, she didn't dare to make too much noise, she coaxed softly with tears in her eyes, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid... my sister will definitely protect you..."
