"Don't worry about your sister-in-law's words, you've really done a good job, good! You must treat your sister-in-law well in the future, this is the ...... our family owes her."

He solemnly instructed me, his tone made me uneasy, I couldn't accept this red jade, I felt my heart panic, as if I was about to lose something most important, but suddenly through his palm there was a warm heat transmitted into my body, I actually fell asleep, and when I woke up, I would never see him again......

"My beloved family, I'm gone, don't look for me, be happy and safe forever!" A thin piece of paper was his last instruction......

What this pendant meant, I still have no way of knowing because no one would tell me. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

I just remember that when my mother saw the pendant on my chest, she stared at it for a long time, and her eyes even scared me, and her hand trembled so much that she stroked it: "Your brother gave it to you?!" ”

It took almost all my strength to say "um".

Her eyes were worried, she seemed to be a teenager old, the next day she fell ill, and she lay on the bed for half a month before she barely got off the ground, and I wanted her to see a doctor She insisted that she didn't, just lying on the bed and crying every day.

I would even have guessed that my mother must have blamed me for forcing my brother away, but she never blamed me a word the whole time, and I felt like I was being pressed by something, and I couldn't breathe.

But one day, my mother who was lying on the bed grabbed my hand and looked at me for a long time, I watched her big tears fall, and my heart was like a knife: "Man, promise Mom, don't go to your brother, don't blame yourself, don't hurt yourself, you must be strong, you must be happy......"

***********************

A perfect home, falling apart in my wayward arrogance,

How many midnight dreams, in that quiet night, I have to yell at myself in pain, it's you! You selfish guy killed your father, drove your brother away, and ruined this family!

That pain was like a thousand knives when Ling Chi was slashed, making himself bloody and painful!

Those who have sinned souls are rarely at peace at night! So at night, when the silence came, when the mind left a gap, and the soul needed to rest, my soul was turned out by myself and fanned and washed over and over again, but it only brought deeper pain.

***********************

The pain will always be infinitely magnified in the quiet night, in the excessive indulgence, suddenly I heard the living room seems to be moving, listen carefully, it seems to be quiet again, just relaxed, the sound is loud again, like the sound of footsteps.

I jumped out of bed and hurriedly opened the bedroom door, a thin figure came into view, it was Chenchen, my eldest niece, seven years old this year, wearing a thin white background floral pajamas, wide and wide, showing her thinness, she seemed to wander in the living room unconsciously.

"Chenchen," I called softly, for fear of waking up my mother and Xiangxiang in the bedroom in front of me.

The courtyard was originally two floors, my brother and sister-in-law's family originally lived on the second floor, and my mother and I lived on the first floor.

After my brother and sister-in-law left, although the house on the second floor was vacant, no one wanted to touch it, it seemed to be a sore in my heart that could not be removed, and my mother and I tacitly just let the two children come down to live.

The little nephew is three years old this year and lives with his mother in a larger sunny bedroom, so I gave my small bedroom to Chenchen to live, and there is a narrow room behind the living room, which is to put some sundries, relatively narrow, but it can just put down a single bed, and a little free, anyway, it is a place to sleep, I simply use it as a bedroom.

The lights in the living room were not turned on, only a not-so-bright bedside lamp in my room was projected in the living room, which gave the living room a dim and dim light.

Hearing me call her, Chenchen seemed to stare at me a little blankly, his eyes were empty and blank, and he looked a little pitiful and timid. Her face was a little weird reflected in the dim light, in such a night, her dress was very thin, I was afraid that she would freeze, so I stepped forward and hugged her in distress, touching a cold breath, so I couldn't help but shiver, hey, this child, how can you get up with only a thin pajamas?

"Do you want to go to the bathroom?" She didn't say anything, she still looked at me a little blankly, her eyes were misty, and she didn't seem to have woken up yet.

I put on another coat for her, this poor child, since my brother and sister-in-law left, has become more and more silent, I rarely see her smile, although I always want to give her a little more love and care, but I know that there are some emotions that you can never replace, and besides, who says that children are not sensible? I think she must have buried all the impact of the great changes in her family.

We rented an old-fashioned courtyard, the bathroom is still in the courtyard, although it is late spring, but this year's weather is cold and abnormal, it seems that winter is reluctant to leave.

As soon as I opened the door of the house, a cold wind blew in, the courtyard was still very dark, the darkness would always bring people a sense of fear for no reason, I always felt that this night seemed particularly gloomy, the cold wind seemed to be able to blow into the bones, and Chenchen seemed to be a little afraid to shrink into the house, and I was holding it with my backhand.

I was just about to comfort her, but suddenly saw the courtyard wall, on the opposite side of the kitchen roof with only one floor there were a few faint green lights, I was startled, the instinctive hand had pressed the switch to the courtyard light at the door, and at the same time the opposite two beams of green light had moved, and at me "meow" yelled, the light was on, not very bright, but I had seen clearly, it was a huge black cat, it looked at me with fierce eyes, and there were more than a dozen on the surrounding courtyard walls and roofs, all of them were black cats, But it wasn't as big as the one across from me, and the cat was about the size of a half-sized wolfdog.

These cats seem to surround our small courtyard, their black and shiny fur, shining in the light, showing a little eerie majesty, hunched back and poised posture, more like they are confronting something, they seem to have been lurking here for a long time.

I was stunned by this sudden scene, inexplicably frightened, although I am not afraid of cats, and even like cats, but I don't like black cats, I always feel that they are cold and gloomy like ghosts in the night. And I've never seen so many cats at once, and they're all black cats.

This sudden situation made my scalp tingle, and these cats, especially the huge black cat, gave me an indescribable sense of cold pressure.

The sudden meow of the big black cat was low and deep, and the voice was not loud but it made the heart tremble, as if it was a serious threat. I think his cat meow must have scared Chenchen, as if a cold wind was blowing, and I obviously felt Chenchen's body tremble.

I hurriedly picked her up, she was already seven years old, but she was so thin and small that I didn't have any trouble picking her up.

"Sister-in-law, why are we standing in the yard?" She asked me suddenly.

"Isn't Chenchen going to the toilet? My sister-in-law accompanies you, don't be afraid, it's just a few wild cats. ”

"Oh! Lots of ...... Big cat. She also seemed a little surprised.

At this time, there should be no wind in the courtyard, but for some reason, I seem to feel the uneasy flow of cold air around me, and this uneasy atmosphere fills the small courtyard.
