Chapter 60: The Ominous Man of the Liu Family
"Why is this expression, is there something wrong over there?" Shen Zhuru couldn't help asking.
"Over there is the Liu family's back mountain cemetery, where the ancestors of the Liu family are buried, except for the mountain guards, no one usually lives there. As far as I know, there is only one old man in his fifties in this generation, and there is no child of this size. ”
Mu Fenghua said and looked at Xiao Yu'er, the suspicion in his eyes was undisguised.
"I'm not lying, I really live there. Don't believe me, I'll take you. Xiao Yu'er looked at Mu Fenghua and replied timidly, but with a little stubbornness, she was determined that she had never lied.
"Why don't you go check it out?" Shen Zhuru saw that Xiao Yu'er was strange and pitiful, and couldn't help but say this tentatively to Mu Fenghua.
"It's good if you're happy." Mu Fenghua didn't care about the answer, but since he promised to go over, the food he brought before was not suitable to stay here, so he went back and got the food box, and Xiao Yu'er led the way to his residence.
After bypassing a courtyard, I really arrived at the back mountain of Liu's house.
The height of the back mountain is not high, but it is also a little range, and there are many cedar trees standing several meters high, and there are a lot of weeds, but there is still a clear path leading to the back mountain.
Following Xiao Yu'er, he walked for about half an hour before he arrived at a wooden house.
The dim light was on, and a rickety figure was projected on the window paper, and it was obvious that an old man was walking slowly in the room.
The old man thought to be the Liu family's mountain guard, the person responsible for taking care of the cemetery in the mountain.
I thought that this should be the residence of Xiao Yu'er, but he didn't expect that he turned a corner, entered another path, walked for a while, went around a thriving thorn bush, and saw another two-room cabin over there.
Outside the cabin, a black figure stood in the doorway, with her hood down, like a middle-aged woman.
Shen Zhuru squinted slightly, seeing the other party's outfit and familiar figure, it was already certain that this woman was the figure who threw Xiao Yu'er directly into the pool in a vain attempt to drown him.
When she saw the woman, Xiao Yu'er's mood seemed to be a little wrong.
That look is mixed with fear and fear, and the complex feeling of wanting to escape but not being able to escape is very contradictory.
Mu Fenghua seemed to realize something, grabbed Shen Zhuru, and pushed Xiao Yu'er's body.
"We're here, you go first."
Xiao Yu'er glanced at Mu Fenghua, pursed her lips, and the small figure finally walked towards the woman with firm steps.
Xiao Yuer's performance made Shen Zhuru very puzzled.
He is just a child, and he can completely refuse Mu Fenghua's request, even if he can't cry.
Why should he be so obedient, obviously afraid to death, but still walk with such firm steps towards the hut, to the woman standing at the door of the house.
The sound of small footsteps alarmed the woman, and when she looked up and saw Xiao Yu'er's figure, it undoubtedly made the woman's face, which was still a little dazed, but at this moment, it showed a hideous color.
"You ominous person, why do you have to come back even when you die? Tell you, I'm not afraid, even if you're a ghost, I'm not afraid. ”
A frantic voice sounded, with a hint of sharpness, and the woman's eyes as she looked at Xiao Yu'er were almost eager to eat him alive.
Xiao Yu'er stood there a little scared, but continued to walk forward.
"Haha, do you want to drag me to die with you? I'm not afraid, but I don't want you to be happy, I don't want you to be happy. As if mad, the woman turned and ran down another path.
The laughter was crazy, and when Xiao Yu'er called softly, Shen Zhuru and the others couldn't help but be surprised.
"Mother!"
A low call, how painful that call should be for Xiao Yu'er.
was said to be an ominous person by his mother, and was rejected by these gangs, and even killed, Shen Zhuru couldn't help but feel sad in her heart.
Even in that world in her previous life, she had never seen or even heard of parents wishing that their children would die, but when she thought of bumping into her today, she only felt a little uncomfortable in her chest, and Xiao Yu'er had already chased after her.
Shen Zhuru, who also chased after her, didn't expect to see the scene of the woman jumping directly into the mountain stream and falling to her death, while Xiao Yu'er stood at the edge of the mountain stream like that, looking at the woman who fell in a pool of blood below with some blankness, standing motionless.
"How so?" Shen Zhuru covered her mouth, a little incredulous.
"Maybe it's the best place for her to be, too." Mu Fenghua put his arm around Shen Zhuru's shoulders and suddenly said like this.
"You know something?"
"Hmm. I didn't think about it before, but after seeing this woman's behavior, I remembered it. Xiao Yu'er's father should be the child of the deceased sixth uncle, and as for the woman, it is the sixth uncle's outer room. ”
"Because the sixth uncle is just my grandfather's adopted son, he injured one of his legs in an accident, and his status in the Liu family plummeted, and that woman was the outer room that killed the sixth uncle, if she wasn't pregnant with a child, grandma wouldn't let her live in the Liu family."
It's a pity that on the day she gave birth, the sixth uncle died suddenly before he could see the child. This child has become an ominous person, no one mentions it, and has been arranged to live in this back mountain. ”
Originally, he said that he was unknown, but he just said it, after all, he was the only child of the sixth uncle, and his grandmother still cared about the old feelings, so she arranged for the mother and son to live in Liu's house, and the courtyard arranged was the abandoned garden before. At the beginning, the garden belonged to the sixth uncle. ”
It's a pity that after this arrangement, the Liu family's business began to go badly, the kiln suddenly blew up the furnace and destroyed the porcelain of several kilns, lost a lot of silver, and the grandmother suddenly fell ill, the uncle was almost hijacked by bandits on the way back, and almost died. In addition, the fire destroyed the attic of the garden, and the woman's entire back was severely burned, almost miserable, which created rumors of an ominous person, and the mother and son were sent to live in the back mountain. ”
"Originally, I only listened to it as a joke, after all, I had never met anyone, and if it hadn't been for the previous scene that reminded me of this, I wouldn't have thought that kind of thing would be true. And this so-called ominous person will be Xiao Yu'er, and the person who tried to kill him in vain will be his own mother. It's embarrassing. Even the wariness he showed to you before was probably caused by psychological shadows. Perhaps, he has countless scars on his body, all of which were left by his mother's abuse. ”
"No, it's so ruthless." Shen Zhuru said this in his mouth, but he had already looked at Xiao Yu'er, and saw that he turned around expressionlessly at the moment, and walked towards the cabin silently, very quiet without crying or making trouble.
