There was no refrigerator in this era, and Father Yan was afraid that the rabbit would break, so he took it to the kitchen to deal with it on the spot.
"Girl, you are not in good health, you can't see blood, go outside to avoid it." Father Yan said.
This is a custom in Qingshui Village.
Yan Mu thought that he couldn't help, so he obediently walked around the yard.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked into the yard, she heard Zhang Orion yelling and scolding, and the crackling sound of bamboo sticks hitting her body.
Yan Mu was taken aback for a moment, then remembered what happened in the afternoon.
broken!
It must be Zhang Goudan who reported to Orion Zhang!
Yan Mu was very anxious, she walked around the earth wall, trying to find a small hole to observe the situation on the other side.
But the low wall was so tightly sealed with mud that she couldn't even find it.
In desperation, she had no choice but to poke a branch against the wall.
She was weak and had little strength. She poked hard several times, until she was out of breath, and managed to poke a small hole.
She took a few breaths before she calmed down, and leaned over to see the situation next door.
In the dim moonlight, Yu Yuan knelt on the muddy ground, bowed his head and said nothing.
Zhang Liehu raised the bamboo stick high and hit Yu Yuan's body again and again.
Yu Yuan was beaten to the side of his head, and a few strands of hair fell down on his forehead, covering the boy's expression.
But Yan Mu clearly saw that the boy's hands were clenched into fists.
"Eat what's inside and out." Zhang Orion spat after finishing the beating, "I am willing to take you in for a bastard like you. It's okay if you are not grateful, but you actually helped that sick guy next door deal with the dog."
He smoked the pumpkin leaves, and seemed to get more and more angry, so he smoked a few more times.
Yu Yuan was like a wooden man without intuition, kneeling upright on the ground, enduring wanton insults and whips.
"Relic..."
When Zhang Liehu couldn't move anymore, Yu Yuan raised his head and said in a low voice.
"hold head high?"
Orion Zhang took another bite of the pumpkin leaf and asked viciously.
"Give me mother's belongings, and I will leave naturally." Yu Yuan lowered his eyes.
Hearing Yu Yuan mention the relic, Yan Mu was also taken aback.
Since she just wrote the initial outline and character settings, many details were left blank.
She clearly remembered that the outline only stated that Yu Yuan had been humiliated at Zhang Liehu's house in the early stage, but it did not mention the reason, nor did it mention "mother's relic".
This world seems to have automatic corrections for plot bugs.
Yan Mu remembered the task of accompanying the hero to finish the main storyline, and didn't know whether this discovery was good or bad for a while.
She sighed, then read on,
"Okay, I'll give it to you." Zhang Orion suddenly smiled maliciously: "You stretch out your hand."
Yu Yuan's eyes darkened when he heard the words, he was silent for a while, and slowly stretched out his hand.
Zhang Liehu grasped Yu Yuan's slender wrist.
Zhang Orion's muddy hand, compared with Yu Yuan's pale, scarred hand, looked dark and wrinkled.
Zhang Orion smiled maliciously, turned the pipe upside down, and knocked it directly on the back of Yu Yuan's hand.
The pipe was boiling hot, and the burning ash came into direct contact with the skin, making a "sizzling" sound.
Yu Yuan froze in pain, gritted his teeth and struggled to withdraw his hand, but was grabbed by Zhang Orion.
"If you can hold this handful of soot, I'll give you that bitch's relic." Zhang Orion laughed.
Yu Yuan flinched slightly, but soon straightened his back.
Yan Mu could hear the boy's forbearance moaning/groaning.
She saw that the boy was sweating from the pain, and even his pale lips were trembling slightly.
But even though he was trembling with pain, the boy still held the hot soot with his hand full of scars.
Yu Yuan...
Yan Mu's mood is a bit complicated.
She stood on the ground blankly, watching Zhang Orion let go of Yu Yuan's hand, and then laughed.
"You don't think that as long as you hold this ball of soot, I will really give you the relic?" Zhang Orion laughed.
Yu Yuan's face was pale and he didn't speak.
"Eat the little wild species." Seeing that Yu Yuan didn't speak, Zhang Liehu's face suddenly changed, "Since you don't want to stay at home, you should go outside and you are not allowed to come back tonight."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Liehu pushed Yu Yuan out, and closed the courtyard door with a "bang".
Through the crack in the wall, Yan Mu saw Zhang Orion stretched without any psychological burden, and went into the house to sleep.
Yan Mu only felt that the fire in her heart was burning more and more intensely, almost swallowing her reason.
She took a deep breath, went to the kitchen, and told what happened just now.
"We... can we take Yu Yuan in for a night?" Yan Mu frowned, "How can I say, he is also because of me..."
Father Yan has always looked down on Zhang Orion's demeaning behavior as a child, not to mention that he still has the rabbit sent by Yu Yuan in his hand.
So, Father Yan agreed to Yan Mu's request.
Yu Yuan stood in front of the door, staring at the crooked moon in the sky in a daze.
He thought of his mother.
And mother's warm embrace.
However, his mother rarely hugged him, nor did she smile like other mothers of children.
His mother's face was always gloomy, and this paleness and fragility was even more evident when she saw him.
Sometimes his mother would be hysterical to him, and sometimes she would beat him with a whip, calling him a bastard while whipping.
But after the beating, the mother would look at his scars, cry and say sorry, and then call the father a jerk.
It was because of his father, whom he had never met, that he was called a bastard.
I heard that my father was a wild thief who snatched my mother away.
Later, the bandits were wiped out, and the mother was pregnant when she came back.
After giving birth to him in October of pregnancy, his mother didn't even want to breastfeed him, and even gave him a very random name.
Yu Yuan, Yuan.
His existence, to the mother, is the abyss of hell.
Later, on his fifth birthday, his mother gave him to Zhang Orion.
Then, according to Zhang Orion, his mother died.
The scar on his hand was still hurting, and there were many blisters on his burned palm, and he felt pain when he moved.
Fortunately, he opened his palm and let the cool night breeze gently caress the scar.
No one rejoiced at his birth.
He is a man who is not welcome in the world.
Just like now, there is no room for him in such a huge world.
Yu Yuan gently closed his eyes.
The leaves blown by the wind are rustling, and the sounds of frogs and weavers are particularly loud.
But gradually, the world seemed to stand still, and the voices of frogs and spinsters also disappeared.
The wooden door next to him was pushed open.
The door, which had been in disrepair for a long time, creaked.
He opened his eyes and saw a warm light coming from the door.
A thin girl walked out of the door, holding a candle in her hand.
The flickering candlelight reflected on her face, making even her pale face rosy.
"If you don't mind, come to my house tonight?" He heard the girl say so.
***********
"Yu Yuan? What's wrong with you?" Yan Mu looked at Yu Yuan with some doubts.
Just now she asked Yu Yuan if he wanted to come and live at home, but Yu Yuan stood there without answering.
"You... don't you want to come?" Yan Mu looked a little lonely when he thought of this possibility.
"Why?" Yu Yuan asked suddenly.
"Ah..." Yan Mu covered the flickering candle with his hands, and said casually, "Because the rabbit you gave me is still stewing on my stove."
She just found a reason to fool her.
"..." Yu Yuan looked at her coldly, without speaking.
"Okay! Come in quickly, the wind is so strong outside that the candles are going to be blown out." Yan Mu said and tightened his clothes.
Qingshui Village is on the mountain, and the night breeze is still a bit cool.
Maybe it's not a big deal to ordinary people, but Yan Mu's useless body has already been blown away.
Her little hands were cold, and even her head was dizzy from the blowing.
In desperation, Yan Mu's IQ went offline, and he reached out to hold Yu Yuan's hand.
Of course, she avoided Yu Yuan's injured hand.
Under Yu Yuan's surprised and even terrified eyes, Yan Mu pulled Yu Yuan from the dark night to the courtyard with warm yellow lights.
The author has something to say:
Yu Yuan: Oh my God, she pulled me, she pulled me! ! ! What to do, what to do, ah ah ah
