Hearing the voice, Erya's body trembled in fright, and the firewood she was holding in her hand was scattered all over the ground, but instead of picking it up, she escaped far away from the firewood.

Behind her, the man with a hideous scar on his face limped towards her, his expression was as fierce as a ghost, "You dare to escape, you lose money, you really want to find that slut?!" ”

Er Ya shook his head in horror, but the man was still excited, he bent down to pick up a piece of wood on the ground and smashed it on Er Ya's head.

"Today, I'm going to kill you, a money-loser!"

Yes!!

Erya let out a frightened scream, but fortunately she reacted quickly, her flexible and petite body quickly dodged out, and the firewood smashed on the ground and broke in two, and the sound made Erya tremble in her heart.

If it hits her, it must be very painful, it hurts, she ...... Don't want to hurt anymore!

"Daddy, I didn't mean to!"

Erya fled around the courtyard and begged: "Erya just lost time by playing, and it will never be like this again in the future, Daddy spare his life!" ”

"You're lying! You just want to escape, that slut left me, do you wish I was dead so that I could go to her?! Coming back to cook so late, do you want to starve me to death! ”

The man said, a red and crazy color appeared in his eyes, turned around and tightened the deadbolt, and continued to chase Erya, although Erya was flexible, but after all, he was still small, his steps were not big, and his physical strength gradually weakened in the back, and he was still caught and beaten.

……

"Cry! I know how to cry, hurry up and cook for Lao Tzu! ”

When!

The man flicked his stick, the madness in his eyes subsided, and he turned and went back to the house. Erya hugged her knees and curled up in the corner of the earthen wall, sobbing in a low voice, while wiping the blood stains on her arms with her little hands.

When the man's voice in the room came again, she had to endure the pain in her body and get up to make a fire to cook.

"Hiss......"

The cold well water soaked the little hand, Er Ya took a deep breath, felt that the wound on the hand was less painful, and then began to wash rice, the blood in the wound inevitably flowed into the water, but it was quickly diluted to the point that it was invisible.

Suddenly, she was slightly stunned, and just now she seemed to see a wisp of black gas flashing in the rice water and condensing into a dot, and finally blooming, like a black lotus

"Hallucinations?"

The young woman didn't think much about it, blinked suspiciously, and continued to wash rice.

Beaten, begged for mercy, worked......

This scene seems to be repeated every few days, except for one thing that has become different, and that is that the man's temperament has become more and more irritable, his eyes are full of scarlet when he is angry, he loses his mind, and when he is serious, he does not know what he is doing.

He, like a bottle that is about to be filled with sand, ...... every day Every day, the sand is stuffed into it, and one day in the future, when the sand continues to reach a certain limit, the bottle ...... It's going to crack!

And the reason for this situation, the man who is deeply involved in it does not notice it at all, and the young and ignorant Er Ya has no association, and only obediently obeys the terrifying biological father every day.

Early the next morning, the rooster crowed from the west of the river.

Erya, who was half-asleep and half-awake, immediately got up to make breakfast, and the painful memory of yesterday was still very clear, but after making breakfast, she pushed open the door but didn't find her father's limping figure.

was puzzled, suddenly there was a messy footsteps outside the door, Er Ya looked back, and suddenly saw the old yellow head who told her a story yesterday, and several respected old people in the village.

Looking at Erya with breakfast and a confused look, the faces of several old people invariably flashed with faint pity, but they soon disappeared.

Although they are great good people in the village, they ...... No one wants to itch this ugly little girl.

"That's it, old yellow head, take her to kowtow to her father first."

Standing in the middle, he said hello, turned around and left, and then the rest left.

The old yellow head snorted coldly, a sneer flashed in his eyes, and after looking back and seeing Erya, he slowly walked in and hugged Erya, "Girl, your life is really hard enough, let's live with grandpa in the future." ”

"What's wrong with my dad?"

Erya asked cautiously, with a well-hidden expectation in her eyes.

The old yellow head sighed: "It seems that he was knocked on the foot last night, and your father fell into the river...... Drowned. ”

——

A day later, with the help of many villagers, there was a new grave on the mountain, and the second girl was wearing a linen cloth, crying heartbreakingly, and her voice could be heard from afar, which made many peasant women watching from afar unbearable.

"This girl is also pitiful, she has never encountered a good thing since she was born."

"How else can it be said to be a mourning star?!"

"As soon as the talent died, you should say a few words!"

The woman was silent, she didn't want to be ghosted in the middle of the night.

Li Chang leaned on crutches, looked at the old yellow head standing behind the second girl, gently comforted, shook his head and sighed: "Fortunately, the old yellow head is willing to adopt this girl, which can be regarded as a blessing." ”

Everyone immediately agreed, "Everyone knows that Su Silin's stinky temper, when his wife was still there, he beat his mother at every turn, how could Xiaohui's girl's family stand it, if she hadn't run away with a wild man, I'm afraid she would have been angry to death like Su Silin's mother." ”

"Angry?"

Someone sneered, "Whether it's angry or beaten, who knows!" After Su Silin's mother died, he immediately burned the cremation, obviously because he had a ghost in his heart. ”

"I think the plague seven years ago must have something to do with Su Silin, the unfilial son was struck by lightning, and it also affected so many neighbors."

The more everyone talked, the more energetic they became, and they didn't notice that an old man and a young man on the mountain had walked down, and the old yellow head was confused when he heard it, and couldn't help but ask out loud:

"What are you talking about?"

As soon as he saw Erya, there was an instant silence in the field, the atmosphere became weird, Li Chang's face trembled, flashed a trace of unnaturalness, tried to avoid Erya's innocent gaze, looked at the old yellow head and said:

"When these things happened, you didn't come to our village yet, I'll tell you in detail when I go back, you see that Erya is also tired, let's go back and rest first."

When the old yellow head heard the reason, he nodded and said, "Then I'll look for you at night." ”

The lieutenant chief nodded, and after seeing the old yellow head leave with the second girl, a group of villagers immediately surrounded him and said urgently: "Lieutenant chief, you can't say what happened seven years ago!" ”

"yes!" The little fat man's mother echoed: "Chief, you don't want to think about it, if you tell the old yellow head about what happened seven years ago, he will definitely think of Erya, and then he doesn't want Erya, you must not be offended?" ”

"If none of us support her, if she dies, you, the lieutenant, will have to be the end!"

“……”

"Enough!"

Seeing that they were going too far, Elder Li's face turned red with anger, he slammed his cane hard, and said in a deep voice: "I have my own measure, even if something happens, it won't be your turn to be troublesome, and I'll be scattered!" ”

The fat lady rolled her eyes, not stunned at all, "Be kind as a donkey's liver and lungs, let's go!" ”

The rest of the women were also yin and yang, and turned away after saying a few words.

"The old man, mother-in-law, they are all small-bellied chicken intestines, don't take it to heart."

"Yes, they are all women's families, and they are not sensible!"

The only hunters in the village comforted them twice, and they all left one after another, leaving only the elder standing in place, his expression gloomy, not knowing what he was thinking.

But it was said that the old yellow head took the second girl back to his home, and the second girl immediately ran to the edge of the earthen stove to prepare to work, which frightened the old yellow head into a spirit, and picked up the second girl and scolded and said:

"What do you want to do, girl? I can't stand your toss with this stove, so let's play while I'll cook. ”

Erya instantly became watery when she heard this, and the old yellow head was confused, and finally heard Erya crying and crying: "Grandpa, I'm ...... Can cook, can... Go up the mountain to collect firewood, I can do anything, grandpa... Don't leave me behind. ”

The old yellow head was stunned, looking at the little girl who was picked up by himself, there was nothing to do, he didn't do anything, why did this girl feel that she didn't want her?

Suddenly, his eyes froze, and then he saw the injury on Erya's hand, his face immediately turned ugly, he sat down with Erya, and lifted the linen cloth that covered Erya's wrist.

Sure enough, just like the face, there were dense wounds, and many of the scars were still new.

"Dog mongrel! I knew it earlier, the old man ......"

He couldn't help but scold angrily, and immediately felt guilty, there were too many scars on the second girl's face, and he didn't pay attention to this when this girl wrapped herself tightly on weekdays.

"Girl, grandpa will never want you! You will follow Grandpa in the future, as long as Grandpa can still do it, you don't have to do any rough work, just like other girls, learn needlework...... Oh yes, grandpa, I'm still literate, and I'll teach you to read in the future......"

The night was as cold as water, and on the newly arranged bed, Erya had fallen asleep peacefully, with tears in the corners of her eyes, but under the comfort of the old yellow head, there was finally no sense of panic.

The old yellow head smiled, and an unprecedented sense of warmth rose in his heart, in order to ask for immortals in his life, most of his life was spent in the Yuxu Sect, and his relatives had already died and scattered, not to mention marrying a wife and having children.

Now that there is suddenly a granddaughter, Lao Huangtou really wants to leave all the good things to her.

"It's almost time, but I want to see what the old Li Tou has to say, seven years ago...... This girl was just born, what happened at that time? ”

With questions, the old yellow head gently closed the door, turned around and walked towards the old chief's house.

After a short time, the old yellow head came to the outside of the fence of the old man, and sure enough, he saw the chief sitting on a stone bench outside the house, and a candle was lit next to him waiting for him.

Seeing the old yellow head, the lieutenant nodded, "Come in, the door is not closed." ”

After the old yellow head pushed the door and sat down, the lieutenant chief looked at him deeply, and seeing the residual joy on his face, he seemed to understand something, and he didn't confirm anything anymore, and said directly:

"Seven years ago, there was a plague in Hedong."
