A child's affection is built up over time.

Especially after I can remember.

But since he can remember, Ten's mother has not been around Eleven, so his emotions in this regard are very vague, or even almost none.

Just as it is normal for ordinary children to have parents in their thoughts, but in Eleven's thoughts, having a grandmother is fundamental, and everything else doesn't matter.

It is uncomfortable to gain and then lose, but it is very small to never get and lose.

What's more, it was precisely the year that Yu didn't remember at all.

——

But grandma told herself more than once:

Mom loves us very much, loves this family very much, there is a mother to have you, she is very hard, she went out to work hard for us, otherwise we all have to go out to ask for food.

——

Therefore, under the influence of grandma, in Eleven's consciousness, his mother has become a person who is not around but second only to grandma.

But words are words after all.

Eleven told himself that he would repay his mother in the future, and he must take good care of her.

But when the corpse appeared in front of him, all those thoughts were occupied by fear.

As a result, my mother became a "terrible benefactor." ”

He wasn't sad, and because of this, he felt guilty afterwards.

——

The village chief suggested that the body be buried as soon as possible, and many people in the village came to help.

Finally, everything was ready, and it was time for the next day to be buried.

That night, Grandma held Eleven in her arms and said a lot, saying that Ten Mother had a lot of skin when she was a child, and how to take care of herself before she was eleven years old, and so on.

Grandma also said that when Eleven grows up, he must be a very powerful person, and no one can bully him.

"If everyone is not optimistic about you, then grandma will definitely be optimistic about you, and so will mom, she will be watching you from heaven.

Mom and grandma will always be on your side. ”

In these words, Eleven begins to feel that in fact, her mother is not scary at all, and she should try to like her.

In such thoughts, Eleven fell asleep.

——

It's just that the next day, the bad news sounded again.

Grandma died......

The corpse was next to Eleven, already cold.

No matter how Eleven called, Grandma didn't react, only a stiff smile with closed eyes.

The village chief came early in the morning, and heard Eleven's cry across the courtyard.

Later, when I knocked on the door, I saw the truth.

People in the village said that grandma died of natural causes, but the village chief said that grandma actually died of sadness.

One was added to the coffin, and grandma and mother were buried in the same place.

On the day of the burial, many people came to comfort Eleven, but he did not cry.

And when he was alone, he hid in a place where no one was and whimpered.

He did not dare to cry, for he could no longer hear the familiar comfort:

"Oh, what's wrong, don't cry, don't cry, grandma is in grandma......"

——

Later, Eleven was adopted by the childless village chief, but it didn't end there.

Not long after Eleven was adopted, the village chief was bitten by a poisonous snake while working in the mountains.

It is a highly venomous snake that has treated its wounds, but it is weak and eventually dies.

Since then, in addition to calling Eleven mongrels, the children of the village have also added a broom star.

At first, I was aggrieved, but gradually I got used to it.

After the death of the village chief, the village chief's daughter-in-law's gaze on Eleven also changed a little.

She didn't treat Eleven badly, nor did she scold her, but told Eleven how her mother died.

She was afraid that Eleven wouldn't remember, so she nagged over and over again.

I heard the cause and effect from the village chief, and I repeated it over and over again.

And so, it was repeated for a month, and Eleven was all memorized.

The village chief's daughter-in-law asked Eleven like a random inspection of the text:

"How did your mother die?

Who killed it?

Why is this happening?"

Even if some words, like lawyers, Eleven didn't know what they meant at all, she would force Eleven to memorize the pronunciation.

Until one day, after Eleven answered all of these, the village chief's daughter-in-law finally praised Eleven.

That night, he specially killed a big rooster, and the two had a good meal.

——

The next day, the village chief's daughter-in-law died.

She was hanged, and no one knew why she did it.

But since then, not only the children in the village, but also the adults have called Eleven a broom star and pointed behind his back.

Finally, no one was willing to take care of him anymore, and Eleven became a wild child who really had nothing to rely on.

At that time, he thought of his grandmother, who died, so he thought, if he also died, would they be able to be together?

He was afraid of pain, so he didn't dare to hang himself, and he didn't dare to use a knife.

He heard his grandmother tell the story of the water ghost, saying that the water ghost hid in the deep water every day, and specially drowned the disobedient children into ghosts, and the obedient ones became their own children.

When Grandma was there, Eleven was afraid of being captured by the water ghosts.

But Grandma was gone, and the fear began to fade slowly.

He wants to die, and if he dies, he can become a ghost, maybe he can see his grandmother, if he can't, then go find a home, a water ghost's home.

The water ghost is very scary, and the child of the water ghost is also a water ghost, and everyone was afraid of him at that time, and no one dared to scold him for being a broom star mongrel.

He went to a waterfall far away, and it was so high that he jumped down.

But as if God was born to oppose him, he didn't die.

The place where he fell was a deep pool, and a middle-aged man passing by happened to save him.

The man is a human trafficker, and Eleven also knows what a human trafficker is, and grandma told herself.

The man warns Eleven at first, makes Eleven obedient, and even coerces and seduces, but soon he realizes that he is too worried.

Eleven was very obedient, and there was no sign of running away at all.

He said to the man:

"I know you're a human trafficker, but if you want to sell me, sell me to Qincheng, and I'll listen to you for everything!"

Qincheng is the city where ten mothers died.

The man was stunned at first and asked him why, Eleven didn't say anything, but the man agreed.

Because he had to go there in the first place.

As a result, Eleven was sold to a relatively wealthy family in Qincheng.

Because the male owner was infertile, he bought the child Eleven, and at first Eleven's performance was normal, and he was a very cheerful and optimistic child.

But it didn't take long for the family to find out what the problem was.

After all, children's acting abilities are limited, and they soon find out.

Eleven is just acting, acting like a lively and cheerful child.

He was not happy, but he pretended to be a normal person in front of him, which made them feel a little empty in their hearts and feel detached.

I also talked about my heart a few times, but it didn't have much effect.

In such an environment, there was another problem with the man.

The hostess found out that the male owner was cheating, and the two had a quarrel, and when they divorced, the male owner was infertile, and planned to let Eleven follow him.

But the hostess was like a gambler, and snatched Eleven as an item.
