The night of Chinese New Year's Eve is noisy, even if the princess mansion is deep and wide, it cannot prevent the joy of children on the street from faintly entering the house, and the crackling of firecrackers in the distance is also real.

However, in this cottage in the corner of the princess's mansion, there is a bit of peace and warmth.

Wu Chongxun lay crookedly on the bed, by the candlelight, looking at Qiao'er's delicate side face, quietly listening to her tell the story of her childhood, and the story of the mysterious downhill.

"My father left early, and the family is poor, so, my mother.... Since I was a child, I have given my brother all the good things. ”

Qiao'er's face seemed to have a memory, "At that time, I couldn't even eat enough. ”

"......" Qiao'er sniffed.

"If it weren't for the fact that Brother Jiu often left me food, and my brother secretly hid the food for me, I think, I would have starved to death at that time......"

Wu Chongxun: "......"

Wu Chongxun, who has been clothed and fed since he was a child, may not be able to imagine what kind of day it will be.

But Qiao'er's expression is not ugly, that should be her saddest memory, right?

"Your mother... Bad for you? ”

Qiao'er shook her head, "It's not good...."

stubbornly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "It's not good at all...... Fortunately, I have the ninth brother, and my brother. ”

Turning his head sharply, "You know what? At that time, Brother Jiu was doing a small business, selling yogurt and wine to tourists and pilgrims, which was very profitable. ”

"Once, when I was hungry, I stole the steamed buns left for my brother, and my mother beat me. Hit me in a hurry, I said.... said that Brother Jiu would make money, if my mother had Brother Jiu's ability, she wouldn't starve me! ”

"So, my mother knew that Brother Jiu's wine stall was making money, so she robbed Brother Jiu's business. After Brother Jiu found out, he thought that my brother told my mother, and because of this, Brother Starling beat my brother up. ”

"But my brother didn't say anything, and silently took the blame for me."

Looking at Qiao'er's sad appearance, Wu Chongxun was a little unbearable, and persuaded in a good voice, "That was all in the past, isn't it much better now?" With Mr. Zijiu and they protecting you, and having such a good big brother, you should be happy. ”

No, Qiao'er shook her head slowly, "But I just can't be happy." ”

Mu Ne looked ahead, "Do you know how my brother became what he is today?" ”

......

At this moment, Qiao'er's eyes couldn't help but appear in front of the nightmare that happened on a winter night, with despair in her eyes and the pain of not daring to recall the past.

However, maybe like Wu Chongxun during the day, he has been suppressed for too long and buried for too long, Qiao'er also needs to confide, and she needs to take out the darkness buried deep in her heart to see the sunshine....

So, on this Chinese New Year's Eve, in this hut, Qiao'er told Wu Chongxun, a stranger who had just been in contact with less than a day, about the situation that night.

talked about how her cruel mother abandoned her, and how helpless she was.

......

"I saw my brother locked up in the cellar with my own eyes...."

"Listen to him pound the cellar door hard..."

"I watched the officers and soldiers kill my mother...."

"Then, they carried him out of his house and watched the Lower Col being burned by fire......

Qiao'er sobbed, "That night.... I'll never forget it. Those who live down the mountain col have forgotten for the rest of their lives. ”

"And my brother completely collapsed that night."

Qiao'er turned her head and looked at Wu Chongxun, "He may be more upset than me in the cellar." ”

"Because he feels that his life has been recovered by my mother and mine. He owes my mother and I owe it. All these years, he has been half-dead in such self-blame and pain. ”

"He was pitiful and wanted to be a good brother to atone for his sins. So, don't blame him... All right? ”

Wu Chongxun: "....."

Wu Chongxun looked at Wu Qiao'er stupidly, and the unbearable past seemed to appear in front of his eyes.

Although he didn't experience it personally, he only listened to Qiao'er's account of what kind of despair and heartache the Wu family experienced on that snowy night, which could also make him empathize.

No wonder...

It's no wonder that after nearly ten years, it's no wonder that even in the face of power that ordinary people can't fight, the Wu family still killed back to the Shendu without hesitation.

"Childe?"

Wu Chongxun's stunned stunned voice made Qiao'er call softly, "You won't hold a grudge against my brother, okay?" ”

"Hmm... Well? ”

Only then did Wu Chongxun come back to his senses and knew that he had lost his temper.

"Oh, hi!!"

Immediately laughed embarrassedly, "What should I do, my son is broad-minded, how can he be entangled with Brother Mu Biao over this trivial matter?" Rest assured, it won't, it won't! ”

Feeling that the atmosphere was too depressing, Wu Chongxun said again: "Look at what's wrong with the two of us?" During the day I will tell you about me, and by night you will tell me about you. During the Chinese New Year, why do they still pour bitter water and complain to each other? Not lucky at all. ”

"Come on, let's have some fun."

Qiao'er's face turned red, she couldn't help lowering her head, and said in her heart, who is complaining to you?

"What are you talking about?"

"Let's talk about your ninth brother!" Wu Chongxun proposed, "What Mr. Zijiu brought to Miss Qiao'er should be happy, right?" ”

When Qiao'er heard this, she couldn't help but smile, and her smile in her tears was so vivid.

"Brother Jiu? Of course Brother Jiu is good! ”

"You know what? Brother Jiu seems to have an ability to make everyone around him hopeful, and never let everyone down. ”

“......”

Well, the cute boy regretted it a little, and even a little jealous.

He pursed his lips, grabbed the hot chicken at the corner of his eyebrows in his hand, and took a big bite viciously.

"He has... Is it that good? ”

"Yes!" Qiao'er put another hot chicken to the corner of his eyebrows, and snatched Wu Chongxun's half-bitten one.

"I can't eat it."

"It's okay!" Wu Chongxun didn't care, "I'm hungry." ”

grabbed Qiao'er's hand and fed it directly into his mouth, but the whole egg went into his mouth.

While chewing sweetly, he asked vaguely: "By the way, during the day, you said that Mr. Zijiu is actually very easy to deal with, what do you mean?" ”

When Qiao'er heard this, her face turned pale, "What are you doing!?" Do you still want to deal with my ninth brother? ”

Wu Chongxun hurriedly coaxed, "Where is it?" I'll just ask, I don't want to forget it. ”

"Poof...."

Qiao'er smiled, looked at the hour, and got up.

"Funny to you, my ninth brother is indeed an excellent person to deal with."

"Oh?" This time, Wu Chongxun was even more curious, "Let's hear it?" ”

Qiao'er walked outside the house and said, "Be sincere!" ”

Looking back and smiling, "As long as you treat him sincerely, he will give you all his heart." ”

With that, he disappeared out of the door.

"I'm leaving, I'll see you tomorrow!"

......

"Say yes, don't hate my brother, he's the best brother in the world."

......

Wu Chongxun stared at the door in a daze, stiffened for a long time, and finally slowly stuffed another egg into his mouth.

While chewing carefully, I still wondered: Why is this egg so fragrant?

......
