Volume III_Chapter 771 Choice
People are like this, often you know that this thing is wrong, and even know that doing this thing will bring you infinite harm or even no benefit, but you will still do it.
Probably this is the person, right? If you don't have an impulse in your life, and you haven't done anything wrong in your life, then this person may not be a human being, but a god.
At this time, Xiaohong made the same choice. The words of her mother, the tone of her mother, her mother's face, and her mother's tears made Xiaohong unable to extricate herself, and Xiaohong had lost all her judgment. 、
What if it's a hallucination? What about danger? If you can experience the warmth of your mother's arms again, if you can hear your mother's doting voice again, if you can eat the food cooked by your mother again, even if you die, isn't it a worthwhile thing?
So, Xiaohong didn't care about anything anymore, and pounced directly and fell directly into her mother's arms.
Xiaohong began to cry loudly and began to hug her mother tightly. This sturdy warmth makes Xiaohong feel extremely safe. The comfort of her mother's palm gently caressing her back made Xiaohong unable to extricate herself. The mother's muttering full of love made Xiaohong cry bitterly!
And then...... Little Red then followed her parents back to the village.
I have to say that this is really too warm a scene, at least for Xiaohong. How long has it been, and how long has it been since there have been no parents of its own in this courtyard?
How long has it been again? You don't have to do anything, your parents have already done everything? What he wanted to help light the fire was immediately greeted by his father's scolding, which made Xiaohong a little scared but felt warm at the same time.
Xiaohong wanted to wash the vegetables, but her mother gently pushed Xiaohong aside and said softly: "You are still a child, let your mother do the work, you have a good rest, sit there or go out to play, and you will have food when you come back." ”
Xiaohong couldn't say anything, and she couldn't even move. How happy are children with loving parents? She doesn't have to do anything, she doesn't have to think about anything. When the sky falls, my father will go to bear it, and if there is no food to eat, my mother will do everything she can.
As a child's little red, you just need to enjoy it, without any requirements, without any burden. Because she deserves it, because she has parents!
Soon the meal was ready.
Xiaohong smelled the long-lost smell again, and saw the familiar dish.
Three dishes and one soup are not rich. A scrambled egg, a fried green vegetable, a fried pork slice, and a stewed chicken with mushrooms are very common dishes.
And the eggs are scrambled to a little burnt, the hot salt is too much, the greens are a little charred, but the meat slices are not salted enough. Any family with a slightly better quality of life will feel dissatisfied with such a meal, and even be unable to eat directly.
But smelling the smell and looking at these dishes, Xiaohong's tears couldn't stop. Because...... Because these dishes are hot, they are exactly what my mother can make!
"Xiaohong, why are you crying? Is it that the things made by your mother are not delicious and make you uncomfortable? If that's the case, Mother will go and do it for you now! Red's mother looked at her with a pair of loving eyes and said.
"Humph! The stinky woman has been messing with it for decades, and she can't even get a meal, so she quickly takes it out and pours it out, what if Xiaohong eats a bad stomach? Xiaohong's father grimaced.
Xiaohong shook her head violently, and even threw away the tears from her eyes because she shook her head too hard.
"No, no, the things my mother made are delicious, delicious, I'll eat, I'll eat......" As she spoke, Xiaohong picked up her chopsticks, slammed the dish into the rice bowl, and then swallowed the food as if she hadn't eaten for three days and three nights.
In this way, Xiaohong will naturally be choked.
Xiaohong's mother hurriedly stretched out her hand and gently patted Xiaohong's back, and said pityingly: "Silly boy, what are you doing in such a hurry?" No one will rob you, if you are afraid that you will not have enough to eat, your mother will get it for you later. Eat slowly, slowly, and a little more. ”
Xiaohong felt the comfort behind her, and her tears finally slowed down, but not because she was no longer moved, but because she felt a solid and thick happiness.
Yes! From the beginning to the present, although Xiaohong has entered this village and has completely integrated into the illusion, Xiaohong still retains a clear understanding that everything here is false!
So Xiaohong has been scared all the time.
But instead of being afraid that the world is false, but that the world will suddenly disappear because of this...... In this way, Xiaohong can no longer feel the love of her parents, can no longer eat the food made by her mother, can no longer feel her mother's touch, and can no longer feel her father's domineering but caring care.
And at this moment, Xiaohong found that it seemed that everything would go on forever, as long as she didn't get out of this village, as long as she didn't leave here.
And at this moment, suddenly......
There was a loud bang.
Da Da Da ......
The sound of horses' hooves shook the sky like a dense drum beat, and the whole village was shattered.
And then...... Then Xiaohong heard one scolding after another, and then continued...... Then, Xiaohong heard another scream, followed by a hideous and crazy laugh.
"It's a bandit!" Xiaohong's father immediately jumped up from the stool.
"These hateful bandits have found us in trouble. It's really hateful, look at Lao Tzu if he doesn't spank them all today! As he spoke, Xiaohong's father had already run into the firewood room and pulled out a woodcutter.
"You and Xiaohong are hiding! Don't come out of whatever you hear! Xiaohong's father walked towards the door menacingly, and when he came to the door, he suddenly stopped as if he had thought of something, looked at Xiaohong's mother, and said in a deep voice.
"You...... You don't go. Those horse thieves are too powerful, you go...... It's only going to be dangerous, and it's not going to do anything at all......" Xiaohong's mother looked sad.
"Humph! What do you mother-in-law know! People are bullying in the end, what else can I do? If we don't fight back, won't they come and bully our village again and again? And...... It doesn't matter if we're being bullied, if it'...... If they think anything wrong about Xiaohong, ...... at that time"
Speaking of this, Xiaohong's father couldn't help but show a painful look on his face, but soon his expression became firm again, and he continued to Xiaohong's mother: "Quick! Hide the little red! ”
Xiaohong's mother gritted her teeth, then picked up Xiaohong and locked Xiaohong and herself in the firewood room.
By now, Xiaohong has understood everything. The reason why my father is so impulsive, or that my father is so bloody, is not because my father is an impulsive person, let alone because my father is a person who can't stand being bullied by others, but because ...... Because she is the father's daughter, the father must protect his daughter!
For the sake of his daughter, a father can do anything!
Boom!
Suddenly, at this moment, a loud bang sounded, and the gate of the courtyard where Xiaohong was located was broken, and Xiaohong's father, who was just about to rush forward, was impacted, and flew back upside down at once, fell to the ground, and screamed.
It seems that just this moment made Xiaohong's father extremely uncomfortable.
And at this time, several fierce men appeared in front of the courtyard, all with hideous faces, holding murder weapons in their hands.
"Humph! Old fellow, what are you doing with a woodcutter? This isn't something you old man can play with! ”
Speaking of this, the man at the head suddenly stopped, as if he had thought of something, his expression became more and more hideous, full of killing intent, his eyes were fixed on Xiaohong's father, gritted his teeth and said, "Could it be that you want to kill me with this?" ”
"Humph! No one will let a guy like you go! Kill you, kill you! Although Xiaohong's father fell to the ground, he did not have any fear.
Of course, if you also see Xiaohong's father's heart at this time, then you will know that he is actually extremely scared at this time. It's just that! Xiaohong's father knew that he couldn't show fear at this time, because he wanted to attract all the attention of the people in front of him to himself. In this way, Xiaohong and Xiaohong's mother can be safe!
"Did you hear that? Did you hear what this guy was talking about, and a man who had never even seen a real knife would dare to say such a thing? Isn't that a little ridiculous? ”
After saying that, the man at the head laughed. The rest of the group laughed along. There was contempt in these laughs. And because these people are so vicious, and there are many of them, their contemptuous laughter not only fails to stir up courage, but only makes people more afraid.
Xiaohong's father was so scared that he couldn't move!
"Humph!" Suddenly, the man at the head stopped laughing, snorted coldly, stared at Xiaohong's father with his eyes and said, "You think you are very majestic? I'll get you on your knees and beg me later! ”
"Don't think about it, even if I die, I won't beg you, let alone kneel in front of you!" Xiaohong's father stood up and straightened his back, a man is always outrageously strong at times.
"Good!" The man at the head did not get angry, but sneered, and then ...... Then he waved his hand. Immediately afterwards, the brothers who cooperated with him moved and headed towards the firewood room.
Seeing this, Xiaohong's father hurriedly wanted to rush forward to stop it, but he was easily kicked and flew away, and he couldn't do anything at all.
Then, Xiaohong was taken out, still on the ground.
"Get on your knees!" The leader of the man put his knife on Xiaohong's neck.
Xiaohong's father's face turned ugly.
Xiaohong knows very well what kind of person his father is, he is a strong man, he is a man full of dignity, and asking him to kneel down for these horse thieves is simply killing him!
"Don't! Father don't! Xiaohong shouted, then looked at the leader with cold eyes, and said, "If you want to kill you, kill me!" ”
"Hehe, this little girl is really interesting. I can't imagine that a breed like you can give birth to such a little girl. You're blessed. Haha......"
The leader was still not angry, but looked at Xiaohong's father with a smile and said.
"Since you have such a good girl, I will give her a face, and I won't embarrass you." The man at the head seems to have been suddenly moved by the Bodhisattva to become a messenger of justice.
Seeing this, Xiaohong's heart couldn't help but relax slightly.
But at this moment, the leader suddenly looked at Xiaohong, and said with a cruel smile: "Then, cute little girl, now I will give you a choice." You...... Do you want you as a strong father, or do you want a mother who pities you? ”
When Xiaohong was just caught, the horse thief had already caught Xiaohong's mother out. And with the order of the leading man, someone has already put the knife on the necks of Xiaohong's mother and father.
"Today I am very merciful. But! But even if I were to be compassionate, I would not be able to return in vain. Out of two, you can only choose one. Whoever you choose will survive, and the other will die. If you don't choose, then both of them will die! ”
The man at the head said with a sly smile.
Xiaohong's heart seemed to disappear suddenly, and the whole person stayed in place.
Who to choose? Wouldn't it be painful to choose who Xiaohong is? And if you don't choose, won't Xiaohong be even more painful? Because if she doesn't choose, she will let her parents die together!
So, what kind of choice does Xiaohong have to make?
