The night was startled, but he just continued to sobble quietly.

But the brain has begun to run at a high speed: "mother" is so angry, and this brother does not dare to come in to see him, is it not that his body will be injured, and it has something to do with him?

"Mother, sister...... Is my sister better? In the middle of the night, I heard a respectful and worried male voice in the room, judging from the sound, the boy should be older than his own body, but this was already superfluous thinking, because the boy called the night "sister" when he opened his mouth.

The woman's tone was still very unkind: "You still have the face to ask?" If you hadn't led your sister to climb the rockery in the garden, would your sister have fallen? She's only three years old, what do you think?! ”

Night moved his body slightly, so that one of his eyes could see the boy in the room from the side of the woman's arm, only to find the boy kneeling on the ground.

It's just that the boy kept his head down, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly at night, but he heard him say word by word: "Mother, my son is wrong, my son doesn't dare anymore, and my son will definitely protect his sister well in the future!" ”

- Even though it was a childish child's voice, it sounded as solemn as an oath.

The woman listened to the boy's words and sighed slightly, and Zuihou said with half a sigh and half a gratification: "You have to do what you say." Your sister has been weak since she was a child, if you, the elder brother, don't protect her, who else can she count on in the future? ”

The boy didn't make a sound, but moved his body and raised his head slightly, so that the night finally saw the boy's face clearly by the hazy candlelight: about six or seven years old, with big eyelids and big eyes, and a very delicate appearance.

――So, she shouldn't look too bad about her own body, right? Thinking like this at night, the boy raised his head suddenly, and his inky eyes met her eyes!

It was obviously the eyes of a six- or seven-year-old child, but the heavy ink color rendered the boy's eyes very solemn, obviously he did not expect that he would look at himself through the young woman's arms at night, and the boy's eyes flashed a trace of surprise, followed by a trace of remorse and shame, but immediately changed back to the original solemn look.

Such a change of expression appeared in a boy who had just entered elementary school in modern times, it was really a little weird, and I felt a little funny at night, and I couldn't help but smile at the boy, but I didn't know what kind of situation my teardrop smile was in the eyes of others.

Seeing the smile of the night, the boy looked stunned, suddenly looked away, raised his hand to the young woman and swore word by word: "Mother, my son knows, from now on, my son will try his best to protect his sister, and he will not be naughty and cause his sister to suffer!" ”

Although these words came from the mouth of a child, they were a little loud, and the young woman who held the night was obviously very useful: "You know it! After speaking, he changed his posture and hugged the night, let the night sit in his arms, and finally let the night see his "mother" clearly-

This "mother" looks like she is twenty-five or sixteen years old, because she got up in a hurry in the middle of the night, her hair is not in a hurry, she has never used any hair accessories, and she has not smeared a little fat powder on her face, but she looks beautiful and moving, her temperament is warm and tranquil, she looks reasonable, and she is full of beauty.

-- In general, this "mother's" six points of appearance and four points of temperament make up a very beautiful.

"Qing'er, your brother also knows that he is wrong, so you forgive your brother, right?" At night, when she looked at the sudden "mother" without a trace, the young woman was lowering her head and whispering to the night.

- So it seems that the original owner of this girl died because of this brother's "naughtyness"? But now it seems that this brother should be a good brother, and it can only be said that the original owner is not blessed and has cheapened her.

While thinking like this at night, she pretended to be timid, looked at the "mother" who was full of anticipation ignorantly, and then turned her head to look at the boy who was looking at her uprightly, and only after a while, she sobbed and said intermittently: "Mother...... Mother, tell my brother to get up and ...... on the ground Cool ...... on the ground"

Hearing Ye Ye say this, the expression on the boy's face was a little stunned, but the young woman was very happy: "Qing'er is worthy of being a good daughter of her mother!" An old woman standing by the bed immediately pretended to scold the maid standing on the side, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Don't help the young master up! It's so cold on the ground! ”

At night, I was afraid that the situation was unclear and I would say too much and do too much to arouse suspicion, so after saying this, I pretended to be sleepy and nestled in the arms of my "mother" and pretended to sleep.

I just never thought that the boy's oath in her eyes that did not match his age would become a portrayal of his life.
