Lu Xiaobai went to his aunt's house with trepidation, and he didn't know what the situation would be like after living in his aunt's house. He knew that his aunt had a son and a daughter, the daughter was three years older than him, and the son was seven years older than him, and he had seen his aunt's two children four years ago, and it was the aunt who brought them to her house to play. He still vaguely remembers his cousin's voice and smile, but after many years, they must have changed now. Lu Xiaobai clearly remembered that his aunt's son was very naughty, and on the day he arrived at his house, he pinched the two chicks he raised to death, and the corpses of the chicks were lying in the damp corner, looking miserable, and he cried and told his aunt about the situation, and the aunt grabbed his son and beat him violently. Therefore, his aunt's son still hated Lu Xiaobai.

Lu Xiaobai's aunt's family lives in a bustling neighborhood where he is dazzled by the high-rise buildings and the fashionable passers-by who seem to know no one, and he immediately feels the huge and obvious difference between the city and the countryside. From the moment he fell to the ground, he had been living in the countryside, only occasionally going to the local town, never going to the big city, and the customs of his hometown had been deeply imprinted in his mind - the mountains and rivers were beautiful, and the people were simple and warm - his life seemed to be framed in such an environment and continued invariably, but he did not expect a family accident to break his peaceful and beautiful life. When he arrived in the big city, he immediately felt uneasy when he thought that it would become the whole of his life, like an unrestrained wild deer in captivity in a zoo.

When Lu Xiaobai saw a pair of children from his aunt's house, they were snatching the TV remote control board and fighting. The remote control board was held tightly by the girl who was curled up in front of her chest, and the boy screamed loudly and picked her hand, but he couldn't pick it open, his face was red from the force, and seeing that there was nothing he could do, he slapped his sister twice on the cheek in anger, and his voice was crisp and loud. The girl stood up as if she had been electrocuted, and not to be outdone, she rushed over and grabbed him and bit him his bare arm, and the boy grinned in pain, shaking his bitten hand as if trying to shake off the pain.

After Lu Xiaobai's aunt heard the noise in the hall, she ran out of the kitchen, and happened to see the scene of the fierce fight between her children. After being beaten, the boy did not say anything, but with a painful expression on his face, he glared at his mother, and drooped his head to sulk; Two crystal tears rolled out of the girl's eyes, gritted her teeth and looked at the place where her arm was beaten, the place where she was beaten was already red and swollen, she reached out and touched it uneasily, and her eyes and nose were almost wrinkled together.

"Sister, I'm here." After Lu Xiaobai's mother pushed open the hidden door, she held her son's hand and stood at the door, looking cowering.

"Oh." She glanced at Lu Xiaobai's mother coldly, and her tone was calm without a trace of emotion. She put down her feather duster and turned around and walked quickly into the kitchen.

Lu Xiaobai's heart couldn't help but chuckle, he didn't know why his aunt treated his mother with such a cold attitude? He didn't think it bode well.

At his mother's quiet and strict request, Lu Xiaobai lightly changed his slippers, and then timidly followed his mother into the house.

As soon as he entered the room, he caught a glimpse of two pairs of eyes staring at him coldly, and he couldn't help trembling in his heart, and lowered his head, not daring to make eye contact with these two pairs of eyes, and by feeling, the brother and sister were very unwelcoming to him.

Lu Xiaobai snuggled up to his mother and sat on the sofa, he set his eyes on the TV screen, it was the Central Children's Channel, which was playing a cartoon that swept the country, and the messy and beating picture flashed his eyes, but he had no intention of watching, thinking about some messy things in his mind.

When everyone gathered around the table to eat, Lu Xiaobai's mother politely made an introduction. She said to Lu Xiaobai: "This is your aunt Yang Zhifang, this is your cousin Wu Zhiqiang, this is your cousin Wu Hongyan, you should still remember it, right?" Xiaobai, after you enter your aunt's house, you will be a family with them, you have to have a good relationship with your aunt, cousin, and cousin, you have to help with housework a lot, don't play tricks, remember? ”

"Remembered." Lu Xiaobai said softly.

"Xiaotong, you see that kind of thing happened to you, how can I say hello, really" Yang Zhifang shook her head reproachfully, put a piece of egg in her mouth and chewed it gently, with a pensive expression.

"Sister, it's useless to say anything now, so don't say it." Yang Xiaotong looked ashamed, her tone was obviously begging, she put the bowl in her hand on the table, she felt as if there was a mess of straw in her heart, very uncomfortable.

After Yang Zhifang finished eating, Yang Xiaotong took out some money and stuffed it into her hand and whispered something. Yang Zhifang didn't speak, and silently put the money in his trouser pocket.

Lu Xiaobai thought to herself, what is my mother doing?

On this day, Yang Xiaotong didn't eat a bite of food, sat on the stool and sighed, sad.

This night, Lu Xiaobai tossed and turned, without sleepiness, and did not fall asleep in a daze until dawn.

Lu Xiaobai saw the scene of his father's bloodthirsty murder in his sleep: his father's right hand tightly held the handle of the pig-killing knife, the blade of the knife was erected on the outside of his thigh, and he glared angrily at a bearded man. At this time, behind my father, there was a group of strong men holding spears and shouting "Kill-", as if overwhelming, pressed towards my father, my father was shocked, threw away the knife in his hand and fled in a panic, ran to the edge of a cliff, my father saw that there was no way to escape, so he turned his head, and saw a thousand sharp arrows flying towards him like locusts, and when he was about to shoot, he howled like a wolf and jumped to the cliff

Lu Xiaobai hit a spirit, suddenly woke up, and woke up to find that his whole body was covered in cold sweat. He scrambled to his feet and looked at the window, where a ray of sunlight shone in through the finger-wide slit in the glass beside the curtain and cast a dazzling strip of gold on the snow-white wall. The room was quiet, he listened attentively, there was no sound outside, he was a little puzzled, got out of bed and walked to the door and gently opened the door, and saw that there was no figure in the hall, and he said to himself that his mother was going out at this time? In this room, he cared for no one but his mother. Although he knew that his father killed because of his mother, and he hated his mother very much, but now that he was under the fence, his mother could not leave him, and his mother was his only barge, and his soul could not find a place to dock without this barge.

There are a total of three bedrooms in this room, Yang Zhifang specially arranged for Lu Xiaobai to live alone last night, he didn't know which of the other two rooms his mother slept in last night, he wanted to go over and open the doors of these two rooms one by one to see if his mother was there. Maybe his mother was exhausted and slept too deeply, he thought. He came to a door with a colorful oil painting of Sun Wukong on the door, and saw that the Monkey King on the painting was holding a canopy with his hands, holding a golden hoop stick in his armpits, stepping on somersault clouds, and a swooping posture, which was really lifelike and majestic. He put his ear to the door and listened with bated breath for a while, but there was no sound inside, and he pushed it twice, but the door did not move.

"What are you doing!" Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind Lu Xiaobai, as if the room was trembling slightly.

Lu Xiaobai was taken aback, hurriedly retracted his hand, turned around and saw that it was Wu Zhiqiang, who was walking out of the bathroom with a leash, and walked over with an angry face and said, "Look at you sneaky, do you want to steal from me?!" ”

Lu Xiaobai hurriedly explained: "No, cousin, please don't misunderstand, I want to find my mother"

Wu Zhiqiang wanted to be taller than Lu Xiaobai, in Lu Xiaobai's eyes, he was a towering wall, and in front of this "wall", he felt cramped and uneasy. Wu Zhiqiang tilted his head and watched him turn "counterclockwise", looking very fierce. Lu Xiaobai's heart was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, he didn't know what he would do to him?

"Looking for your mother? Hmph," Wu Zhiqiang looked at him with disdain, stretched out his index finger and pointed confidently at his head, "Do you think I am a three-year-old child?" This kind of low-level deception also wants to deceive me! You hillbilly, a frog at the bottom of a well, guessed that I had something valuable in my room and wanted to take advantage of others for yourself? Say, what the hell do you want to do! "Wu Zhiqiang is going through a physiological voice change period, and his voice has become thicker, sounding like a male duck howling.

Lu Xiaobai was humiliated by this strange humiliation, and couldn't help but be secretly angry, but he was afraid of him, so he didn't dare to show it, so he had to say: "I'm really looking for my mother" The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and he couldn't help crying.

Wu Zhiqiang not only did not feel compassion, but shouted even harder: "Thief thief, you thief who has been abandoned by your mother!" Get out of my house! Otherwise, I'll beat you up! ”

Lu Xiaobai cried even louder, Wu Zhiqiang not only wronged him, but also spread rumors that his mother abandoned him, he was furious, I don't know where he got the courage, he slammed his head into Wu Zhiqiang's stomach, Wu Zhiqiang was defenseless, and involuntarily "swooped" backwards and fell to the ground.

Wu Zhiqiang's buttocks hurt so hard that he got up and roared loudly, as if a thousand-mile embankment had collapsed and the flood was pouring down. Since he was a child, in addition to being beaten by his mother, he has never been bullied, only he bullied others, and he never thought that he would be violated by an "inconspicuous" stinky boy at this time, which is simply an unprecedented shame! As soon as he got up, he pounced on Lu Xiaobai like a hungry tiger, and he wanted to teach him a hard lesson, so that he could firmly remember that he could not go wild in the "tiger's den"!

Lu Xiaobai saw him rushing violently, knowing that a vicious battle was inevitable, he held back his tears and went into battle. However, the tall Wu Zhiqiang was very strong, and the weak Lu Xiaobai was his opponent, and in just a few moments, Lu Xiaobai was knocked to the ground by him, and he kept wailing.

At this time, Yang Zhifang came back from outside with vegetables, as soon as she saw Wu Zhiqiang riding on Lu Xiaobai and beating him, she threw the vegetables to the wall, ran over and grabbed a feather duster and pumped Wu Zhiqiang's body three times, and then slammed Lu Xiaobai's thigh lying on the ground three times, scolding: "Be dead, Lao Tzu will watch you beat"

A fight died down under the intervention of the powers, but Lu Xiaobai's body was already blue and purple.

Lu Xiaobai reluctantly climbed up, looking at her aunt pitifully, not knowing whether to thank her or hate her.

Yang Zhifang glared at him and said sharply, "Look at what!" Am I wrong about you? Have the ability to go with your mother! ”

Lu Xiaobai was taken aback, and asked timidly, "Where did my mother go?" ”

"Who knows where she went! Shameless. She said impatiently, and then grunted and picked up the food and turned into the kitchen.
