"The book is in hand, and it's useless to keep you. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" The man's hideous face gradually enlarged before her eyes, and the hands on his neck became tighter and tighter.

At the moment when he was about to suffocate, Xu Xiangwan suddenly woke up.

Dreaming of the same scene countless times, Xu Xiangwan felt very strange but very familiar.

Xu Xiangwan felt as if she was no longer Xu Xiangwan. Because she always has some strange memories running out of her head for some reason.

These memories are vague and never happened, and they don't seem to belong to Xu Xiangwan.

Sister Xu Qiuyi said that since she woke up with a high fever a few days ago, she has become strange.

But Xu Xiangwan had no impression of why he had a high fever, as if the memory of that day had been erased out of thin air.

The thatched house has a large hole in the roof.

On a clear night, Xu Xiangwan likes to look at the stars through it, especially when he wakes up from a nightmare.

Being able to see the stars proves that she is still alive.

It's good to be alive.

Although Xu Xiangwan is only six years old, even she doesn't understand why she has such feelings.

In order to live a better life, Xu Xiangwan felt that she had to go back to sleep.

Only when you sleep well will you have the energy to do things tomorrow.

"Lazy woman, don't hurry up and cook! I'm going to serve you short-lived ghosts. If you don't do things all day long, why didn't you kill a few of you who were unlucky? I don't know how many lifetimes of blood mold have been poured, and it is better to die clean than to marry such a tuberculosis ghost. The sound of scolding sounded in the courtyard, getting closer and closer, and soon came to the door of Xu Xiangwan's house.

"Bang bang bang!" The dilapidated wooden door was slammed into the sky.

A piece of grass and mud on the crooked earthen wall "clicked" and smashed on the dilapidated wardrobe standing against the wall.

Xu Xiangwan was woken up from his sleep and opened his eyes to look at the roof.

It's not dawn yet!

"Grandma, it's not dawn yet." When Xu Xiangwan heard this voice, he reflexively sat up and rubbed his eyes fiercely.

Grandma is the name of the grandmother in the vicinity of Xujia Village. Grandpa is called Ah Gong.

"You dead girl, are you still waiting for the dawn to let the old woman bring the food to you? You can't die of a debt collector! Hearing someone respond, the sound of banging on the wooden door finally stopped.

Xu Qiuyi, who was sleeping soundly next to her, was also woken up by the sound outside the door, and when she saw that Xu Xiangwan had woken up, she said: "Later, you sleep for a while, our mother is sick, and I have to cook." If you want to harvest rice today, you have to cook earlier. ”

"Sister, yesterday we washed our clothes until midnight, how many hours did we sleep? Grandma is too ......" Xu Xiangwan didn't speak, but was covered by Xu Qiuyi.

Xu Qiuyi glanced out of the door in horror and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense, the swelling on your face hasn't gone away yet!" If you make Grandma unhappy, you will have to be punished again, and our mother will also suffer. We don't have a top deal in our family, and this family is not tired of death, so it doesn't matter if you do more. ”

Xu Xiangwan also knows the truth that people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and now they have five rooms in the second room, Xu Chengyi is still half a laborer, but in the end, he is only a ten-year-old child, and he can't support their entire second room.

Grandma Cui's is a poisonous mouth, Xu Xiangwan has listened to it for several years, and it is said that he has long been used to it, if it was placed in the past, it was just the left ear in and the right ear out, but I don't know why I can't suppress the anger when I listen to it these days.

The two sisters whispered a few words, Xu Qiuyi didn't dare to delay, and quickly got up and went to the kitchen.

Xu Xiangwan also got up to help.

"Yi'er, Wan'er, it's still dark, you two go back and rest, let your mother come." When Xu Xiangwan and the two arrived in the kitchen, the Zhang family had already lit a fire, and after scooping up the rice, they lit the stove and picked stones.

There are no oil lamps in the kitchen.

Cui's thought that lamp oil was expensive, and there was only one oil lamp at home, so naturally it was not Zhang's turn to use it.

Under the dim fire, Zhang's face looked more sallow than usual, his eye sockets were dark, his cheeks were deep, his bones were as thin as wood, and his body was so thin that he didn't have a single or two flesh, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

Zhang, who was less than the age of Huaxin, looked like a drooping old woman, and her former beauty could only be vaguely seen from the outline of her facial features.

"Mother, you only fainted once yesterday, and you only ate some coarse wheat cakes at night, so let's go and rest." Xu Qiuyi snatched the clay basin in Zhang's hand, stood in front of the stove, which was only half a head shorter than her, and picked it up carefully.

Xu Xiangwan held the door frame with his hand, hooked his head and glanced at the courtyard, and saw that there was no movement in the black lights in all the rooms, and a nameless anger suddenly rose in his heart: "Mother, isn't it the turn of the eldest aunt to make breakfast today?" Why did Grandma call us? ”

Zhang sighed, and his already godless eyes became even darker: "Your father is not at home, just a few of us, I can't work in the field, I can do some housework." ”

"Housework doesn't matter? Mother, you work hard every day, doesn't Grandma not even give you a full meal? You fainted yesterday, and Grandma didn't even want to give you a bowl of brown rice porridge, so my brother saved a coarse wheat cake and secretly brought it back. As he spoke, Xu Xiangwan's eyes turned red.

Zhang was silent for a moment, touched Xu Xiangwan's head and said, "Wan'er, you don't know your grandma's temper. I'm not in good health and can't do heavy work, so it's good to have something to eat. ”

"But ......" Xu Xiangwan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhang.

"Later, your grandma is your father's mother-in-law, and she is a parent in the world. Don't talk about your grandma anymore, you are a junior, you have to be filial to the elderly, but don't talk about the elders. And it's not good for people to hear. As he spoke, Zhang opened the kimchi jar and grabbed a few turnips, a handful of pickled cowpeas, and a small bowl of garlic.

After a while, Xu Wulang also came to the kitchen to help Zhang's mother and daughter.

There are eighteen people in the Xu family, except for Xu Xiangwan's father who is not at home, there are only five adult men, among which Xu Dalang is still a scholar who never goes to the ground, living on ten acres of land, and his life is naturally tight.

The Xu family's breakfast is very simple, and when the farm is slack, it is just a bowl of brown rice porridge that can be seen at the bottom of the bowl to fool the stomach.

Recently, Cui Shi was busy with farming, and Cui Shi deliberately scooped two more bowls of brown rice and two bowls of semolina flour in the kitchen this morning, and instructed Zhang's to stew a pot of dry rice and bake a few pieces of coarse flour cakes.

The amount of breakfast is not large, and there are not many things, and Zhang's hands and feet are very nimble, but the work of tea is done.

When the rooster crowed, the Xu family's rooms came to the upper dining hall one after another.

Cui Shi glanced at the food on the table, frowned, and said to Zhang, who was holding a pot of coarse flour cakes: "Just a few people's meals can't be cooked well for half a day, it's not as useful to raise a pig as raising you, and raising a pig can still sell for money!" ”

Xu Xiangwan pursed his lips secretly, and when he raised his head, his face was already full of smiles: "Grandma, you must be more useful than a pig, the pig eats and sleeps for a day, and he doesn't even bother to say a word, but he's lazy." ”

Cui Shi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted to the taste and fell back angrily: "You little girl, you eat me and drink mine all day, and you dare to scold me, you lose your conscience!" I'll let you scold, I'll let you be cheap! ”

Saying that, Cui Shi took two steps forward and stretched out his hand to grab Xu Xiangwan.

Cui Shi is older, not as flexible as Xu Xiangwan, he couldn't catch Xu Xiangwan after catching it twice, and he beat his chest angrily: "Ouch, my God, what kind of sin have I done!" Raising such an unfilial descendant, this is to anger me! You black-hearted debt collector! Da Lang, Erlang, you still don't want me to catch her! ”

Erlang Xu Chengyu is fourteen years old this year, he is tall and big, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he scooped up Xu Xiangwan, who was jumping around, and slipped it in front of Cui's family.

Cui's face was gloomy, his mouth was pursed, and he slapped Xu Xiangwan in the face without saying a word.

When he landed, five finger marks were printed on Xu Xiangwan's cheek, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, Zhang didn't care about anything else, put the basin on the table and rushed up, protecting Xu Xiangwan in his arms.

Seeing that Zhang still dared to protect Xu Xiangwan, Cui's face was even more angry, his hand was full of strength, and the second palm fell heavily on Zhang's face.

Zhang's was very thin and weak, and he was still sick, and Cui's had a lot of brute force, and this powerful slap slapped Zhang's and hit the corner of the Eight Immortals' table.

"Mother, mother, what's wrong with you?" Zhang's body instantly fell softly on Xu Xiangwan's body, crushing him to the ground, and Xu Xiangwan suddenly felt bad.

Wulang Xu Chengyi's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Zhang's soft fall to the ground, gurgling blood on his forehead, he immediately said: "Later, hurry up and cover the wound for my mother with a handkerchief, and I will go to invite Langzhong." ”

With that, Gorou spread his feet and rushed out of the courtyard.

When everyone saw that Zhang's was not good, they were also frightened and silent, looking at each other at a loss.

Cui Shi also panicked, but he refused to give in: "What kind of tricks are you playing with this cheap woman?" The old lady slapped you to death? You're pretending to be a fool and trying to deal with me, you're immortal, you've lost your yin virtue! ”

Listening to Cui's words, Xu Xiangwan's eyes turned red instantly, moved out from under Zhang's body, and glared at Cui's fiercely: "If my mother has a good one, I will not give up!" ”

Cui Shi was so angry that his nostrils were pumping, his eyelids were jumping, and he was about to open his mouth to scold.

"Enough! It's all like this, and it doesn't stop? Do you have to make a fuss about your life? Old Man Xu glared at Cui's and looked at Zhang's who had passed out on the ground, and his brows furrowed tightly.

"Everyone, hurry up and help the second family up." Old Man Xu said to the stunned Zheng with a cold face, and then looked at the third couple who were standing next to him and watched the excitement and said, "What are you doing in a daze?" The third went to the basin of water, and the third family went to find a clean gauze. ”

Seeing that the blood on Zhang's forehead was not stopping, Old Man Xu's brows furrowed even tighter: "Hurry up, the forehead of the second family is not lightly injured." ”

What's more, Xu Xiangwan obviously saw that Zhang's forehead was concave for a good time, this was a bad head, and he didn't know if Zhang's weak body could stand up.

After only a while, Zhang's was moved back to the east wing, according to Cui's words, if you want to die, you can't die in the upper room, bad luck.

Xu Xiangwan was very angry, but now was not the time to make noise, so he had to quickly find a way to save Zhang.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Xu Xiangwan's mind: "Sixth sister, quickly cut a handful of hair and burn it to ashes with fire to stop the bleeding." ”

Xu Qiuyi was already crying with tears in her eyes, and she heard Xu Xiangwan say that gray hair can stop bleeding, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, and stumbled towards the kitchen.

After a while, Xu Qiuyi covered a handful of gray hair with her clothes, and her hair was already a lot shorter.

"If you don't hurry up, I'm afraid your mother won't be able to." Erlang Xu Chengyu poked his head out of the door of the east wing and shouted loudly.

Xu Qiuyi's face turned pale in an instant, a trace of unwillingness flashed in her eyes, and she hugged her clothes and hurriedly ran.

The only oil lamp of the Xu family was lit in the east wing, Zhang's eyes were closed, his face was gray, and he leaned on Xu Xiangwan's arms motionlessly, only his chest was still undulating.

"Xu Erlang, shut up for me!" At this time, Xu Xiangwan's eyes were red, like an angry lioness.

Xu Chengyu was not convinced, but he was glared at by Xu Xiangwan's terrifying gaze, and suddenly his whole body was cold, so he became timid and didn't dare to speak again.

The gauze was already stained with blood, and the water in the basin had turned red.

Old Man Xu's face was gloomy, his wrinkled face was wrinkled, and the second family's air was more out than in, I was afraid that it would really not work.

If this spreads, the reputation of the Xu family will be completely ruined.
