In the rugged mountain forest, there is a small figure moving with difficulty.

She carried a small baggage. Other than that, there is nothing else. In the knife-like north wind, she moved forward step by step.

Xiaoying's face has a resolute expression that does not match her age. She deftly avoided the guards here.

Yes, this is it.

The smoke twisted and writhed like a bewitching snake girl, drifting towards the sky, one by one, white and white, towards the sky that had not been out of the sun for a long time.

Xiaoying looked at it for a moment, and continued to walk forward with an expressionless face.

She opened the map her grandfather had drawn. There are some places where big heads live above. This was found by her from her grandfather's arms, and when she took it out, she still had a slight residual warmth.

Xiaoying's fists couldn't help but clench and clench.

When Grandpa was buried, the people of the village looked at Xiaoying with pity. In my ears, there were those familiar words.

"Iniquity, iniquity."

Xiaoying remembered Daddy, Grandma and Grandpa,...... and what her grandfather once said to her, what Da Zhuang's father said when he sent Brother Hua away, she always felt that her blood was surging, and her heart was extremely angry.

They can't be left to that. …… No!

It has been given to the lady next door in vain. Her son went to the mountains, maybe the white presence can bring her some warmth.

Although, maybe in vain, he won't live long.

In such a world, no one knows what their tomorrow will be.

However, I still want to try to survive. Why,...... Because the human instinct is to survive.

She rummaged in and gently pushed the door open, and it was warm inside. The smell of luxury and erosion came to the face, the diamond-like sparkling bead curtain fell to the ground, shaking dizzy, the delicate and delicate golden candlestick, the polished extraordinarily smooth milky white table and chair with complex textures, and the red fruit plate on it was filled with all kinds of fragrant melons and fruits. Xiaoying couldn't help but frown.

The house was empty.

Shadow moved cautiously.

Suddenly, she saw a figure sitting at the table.

She froze.

Then he stared at the man without moving, and blurted out two words.

A title she thought she would never call out again:

"Auntie."

The lady was drinking a cup of fine tea, and when she heard the sound, she suddenly stood up, and after just one glance, her body trembled, and the teacup in her hand fell in response to the sound, and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Xiaoying's face turned white. She stared at the noblewoman, her expression gradually changing from joy to indifference.

"Why?"

She asked.

She wanted to say, why didn't she come back, why didn't she want Xiaoying anymore, why she was here...... But in the end, I couldn't say anything, only why.

The noble lady wanted to explain, but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly couldn't come out. She opened her mouth for a long time, smiling wryly.

"I know you blame me."

Xiaoying didn't speak.

She...... So, is it a default?

Sure enough, the noblewoman's face turned white and red, red and white.

A-Niang is very beautiful, she used to feel very proud, because A-Niang is the most beautiful in the village, but now she sees this embarrassed face. She just wanted to throw up.

Ah Ying remembered the noble lady she saw in the bazaar once, so she asked, "Ah Niang, did you come back to see me secretly?" ”

"Yes." She was stunned.

"Then why...... Not with us. ”

"I can't." The lady replied.

The lady didn't know what she was thinking. She went on to say:

"I ...... I'm already married to Zhuo Haotian. I can't go back to see you, or we'll all die. I begged him to let you go, or let me bring you over, but he didn't agree. Little Shadow ...... Xiaoying, I did my best. ”

Xiaoying looked at her, but didn't speak.

A-Niang's face was even more embarrassed, and she was silent for a long time before she said, "You may think I'm a bad person." But you can't blame me for this. I didn't make all of this. ”

As she spoke, she suddenly became a little emotional. The previous elegance and moderation are also gone.

"Although I have never been out of this place, I do know that many people in the village are sick and many have died. If I go back, I will only die. Sooner or later, the black fog in the village will take everyone's lives. …… But you know what? Why did so many people in the village get sick and so many people die? ”

"For the money! Yes, for the money! In order to live. You can't live without money, but who caused such a heavy haze? Although led by Zhuo Haotian, we helped him complete it ourselves! There's even your daddy, my husband! He dug his own grave with his own hands!! ”

She bent down suddenly, unable to sob.

"We hurt ourselves. The bitter fruit you grow has to be eaten little by little. ”

"I didn't want to suffer this bitter fruit, there was nothing wrong with me, so, I did what I thought was right, just to live. I just want to live. ”

……

Her voice was choppy, but firm and word-for-word: "If fate can't resist, it's better to go with it." ”

After a long time, she quieted down and continued in a deep voice: "I met Zhuo Haotian, he coerced and seduced me, forced me to be his wife, he said that he could let me live, let me live without food and clothing for the rest of my life, and I didn't have to live the hard life before, at first, I was also unwilling, but later, after I saw that the people in the village were sick, I finally believed him, so I agreed, married Zhuo Haotian, and stayed here." …… However, those orders were all issued by Zhuo Haotian, and they have nothing to do with me. ”

"Yes, indeed." Xiaoying said coldly: "You chose indifference and turning a blind eye. ”

The noble lady looked up in surprise, and at some point, her innocent and ignorant daughter was now so sharp, and the words she said were like a sharp knife, piercing deep into her heart.

Next, what she said again, Xiaoying couldn't hear it anymore.

Her mind was empty, blank.

She didn't know how she got out of the house.

The lady stood in a daze for a long time, not even noticing that the lazy Shar Pei had come. Eventually, she came to her senses. Gritting his teeth, he called a servant and said something, and the servant hurried out of the door.
