Xue Fei covered her mouth excitedly, lest she scream excitedly, she hugged Ruoxi and whispered, "Sister went out hunting?"

"Yes. Ruoxi took Xue Fei's little hand and said, "This should be all familiar." ”

Xue Fei was happy and scared, and said in a low voice: "Daddy said that our family is practicing the right path, not killing, not eating meat, not drinking, not lying, and not ·····."

Ruoxi let go of Xue Fei's hand and pretended to be angry: "You don't eat it, do you?"

"Sister, I'll eat. Xue Fei hugged Ruoxi's arm, put her head on Ruoxi's body, and whispered, "I want to eat meat in my dreams." ”

Ruoxi pulled Xuefei and ran to the backyard, the two girls got into a grass shed, there was actually a movable wall behind the grass shed, and when they entered the wall, it was a stone staircase, and about twenty steps down, it was a long corridor, and the walls were covered with all kinds of beast skins, hare skins, fox skins, snake skins, everything.

At the end of the corridor are two large stone houses, a bedroom and study, with agarwood couches, desks and chairs, and a row of bookshelves on the walls, which are filled with all kinds of magic books.

The other room is the kitchen, with a hammock made of vines hanging in the middle, three stone stoves, and a dozen paper lanterns of various shapes hanging from the roof, filled with fireflies, and the whole stone room shines like a dream.

The aroma of roast chicken and roast rabbit wafts the room, three stoves, a pot of snake soup, one roast chicken, and one smoked rabbit. Above the stove hung strings of dried bacon, which weighed dozens of catties.

"Sister, you are so powerful" Xue Fei hugged Ruoxi intoxicated, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "It's so fragrant, sister, even if you are full, you can kill your head." Xue Fei thought that the first time Ruoxi brought her here to eat barbecue was five years ago, when her parents took Sister Douhua to attend her aunt's birthday banquet, there was not so much meat in this secret room at that time, only a roast pheasant, which was also delicious and can not be forgotten to this day. After that, I haven't been here.

"Little fool, if you don't say it, I won't say it, no one knows about this place except for my deceased father. Ruoxi took out the roast chicken, put it on a dried lotus leaf, tore the chicken apart, took out a pinch of seasoning from a snakeskin bag, sprinkled it on the chicken, and said: "Xuefei, come and eat, today I sold a few game, bought some salt, can you try it?"

Xue Fei took a bite of the chicken, squinted her eyes, and said with incomparable happiness, "It's so delicious, sister." It was so fragrant that I felt like I could eat it until dawn. ”

"A lot, Sheffield. My sister can hunt now, and she won't go hungry as often as she did when she was a child. Ruoxi ate the chicken, took a wooden spoon, scooped a spoonful of snake soup, put it to her lips and blew, and gently drank a small mouthful of soup, which was extremely delicious, and she said to herself: "This thing is really not delicious when it is raw." "I feel a little sick when I think about hunting during the day and biting a dozen snakes to death. It turned out that she was the hunting girl that Dongfang Yat-sen met. Of course, I'm even more embarrassed to tell my sister that it's embarrassing to be seen while hunting.

Aunt Xintong is Ruoxi's last relative, and it is also a nightmare that she can't get rid of, Ruoxi still remembers the scene before her mother died when she was five years old, her mother struggled to get up from the bed, held Aunt Xintong's hand, and said: "Tong'er, Ruoxi will hand it over to you after I leave, you can collect this sheepskin mantra, don't practice, the spells of the Yunfeng Tianmen are all taught by mouth, otherwise you will have to worry about your life." ”

"Sister Xinzhu, don't worry, I will treasure it and never practice secretly. Xintong cried: "I will take care of Ruoxi as my own daughter and raise her as an adult." Sister rest assured. ”

"This little naughty has learned it secretly, the invisibility charm, she always steals wine and drinks, often drunk, you have to discipline her strictly, lest she be in danger. Xinzhu said a spell in Xintong's ear, and this spell will be Ruoxi into the infernal hell, Ruoxi can stealthily escape everyone's ears and eyes, only will appear in front of Aunt Xintong, until the end Ruoxi worked hard, recompiled the spell of the invisibility charm, Aunt Xintong could not watch her figure, I don't know how many painful battles have been experienced in the middle.

"Ruoxi, you have to listen to your aunt carefully, and when you grow up, you will be filial to your uncle and aunt like your own father and mother. The mother stroked Ruoxi's hair lovingly and asked, "Did Ruoxi remember?"

"Remember, mother. Xiao Ruoxi couldn't help nodding. She watched her mother smile softly, closed her eyes, and thought that her mother was tired and asleep, so she listened to her aunt's heart-rending cry.

Mother is gone······

Aunt Xintong did treat Ruoxi for several days, but it was very short, so short that Ruoxi's memory was vague, she only remembered that Aunt Xintong combed her hair once, and one morning not long after her mother's death, she and Wanyu, Xuefei, Douhua, Zhu'er was playing in the yard together, Xuefei and Zhu'er competed for a butterfly, Zhu'er was crying, at this time, Aunt Xinhui was busy coming out to coax them, Xuefei saw that the copper bell on the aunt's wrist was good-looking, crying to take it off to play, the aunt took off the copper bell to coax Xuefei, Zhu'er held the butterfly, laughed happily, and as soon as the little hand was stretched out, the butterfly flew away and cried again.

At this time, Xintong called Aunt Xinhui, and there were guests at home, so Xinhui asked her daughter Wanyu and Douhua, the two big sisters, to watch them and also enter the house.

Xue Fei played with the copper bell for a while, felt that it was not fun, and cried, threw it on the ground, and asked Douhua to ask for butterflies, Douhua told Ruoxi to find it, and then divided labor with Wanyu, one person brought one, Wanyu led Xuefei to hide and seek, Douhua put Zhu'er on the firewood and stomped on it, threatening: "Don't cry, if you cry again, my sister will leave, fall down and kill you." ”

Zhu'er was so frightened that she held back her tears and stood on the firewood stomping and didn't dare to move. Douhua laughed and said, "That's good." ”

Ruoxi picked up the copper bell on the ground, shook it and ran out of the yard to look for butterflies outside. When she went, she ran a little farther, and then she got lost, and it was not until the evening that she was found by the villagers and sent home.

When Ruoxi found a butterfly to give to Zhu'er, she saw that Zhu'er was dead, her little body was wrapped in a white cloth, and her uncle and aunt carried her out to bury it, she was so frightened that she cried, Wanyu held her in her arms, couldn't help trembling, and said: "Ruoxi, from now on, you have to be very careful, and your aunt will not let you go." ”

"Sister Wanyu, what's wrong with Zhu'er?" Ruoxi asked with tears streaming down her face, and suddenly she found that Sister Wanyu's arm was wrapped in a white cloth, and the white cloth was covered with blood, and she cried: "Sister, why are you injured too?"

Wanyu said: "Did you ask your little cousin to fight crickets yesterday?"

Ruoxi nodded and said, "Yes, he came to me? I went to catch butterflies." ”

"Yes, he also brought you an apple, he couldn't wait for you, Zhu'er asked him to want, so he gave it to Zhu'er, Zhu'er just wanted to eat, was snatched by Douhua to eat, Zhu'er cried, and cried out of her aunt and the guests at home, Douhua was afraid that she would sue, so she took off her little skirt, saying that Zhu'er had to eat the little cousin's apple, but the little cousin refused, so he took off his skirt and showed people, and almost didn't vomit blood when his father was angry, lest the guests go back and ruin their reputation, and the aunt walked over, in front of the guests, and strangled Zhu'er with her own hands. ”

Wanyu said: "I witnessed all this at the time, trying my best to defend Zhu'er, Douhua was angry, and I was about to commit suicide when I took out a kitchen knife in the kitchen, and my aunt asked me to take down the kitchen knife, that Douhua's suicide was fake, killing me was real, and a knife was cut on my arm, fortunately my mother stopped Douhua in time, otherwise you will never see your sister again." ”
