Quiet summer nights.

Chen Beibei slowly fell asleep in a very comfortable environment.

If it weren't for the noise coming from the sea sand house in the middle of the night, then this night, I would have had a good night's sleep.

"Woo woo woo ......"

In his sleep, Chen Beibei faintly heard the girl's cry, but because he was not sure whether it was the sound in the dream, Chen Beibei did not choose to wake up immediately.

"Master, wake up, there's someone crying inside."

Zashiki boy shook Chen Beibei's body and said anxiously.

Hearing the voice of the Zashiki boy, Chen Beibei really woke up, there was indeed a girl's cry in the house, probably the two little girls he saw during the day, that is, Xiaolian's sister.

Why cry in the middle of the night?

Obviously, he is almost ten years old, at this age, he is not going to cry casually.

"It seems that she has done something wrong, and his father is scolding her......"

Zashiki said slowly.

There was indeed the man's voice in the room, speaking something in an incomprehensible voice, probably in their dialect.

However, even so, the anger in the voice can still be clearly heard.

As the sound grew louder and louder, a dull sound sounded in the house, like the sound of a girl being pushed to the ground.

Chen Beibei hurriedly rushed in.

On the ground, the older girl, about ten years old, was lying on the ground, covering the shoulder of her other hand with her hand, and seemed to have been fallen.

And crying all the time.

The man on the bed, the man who was sleeping against the bed, was holding his cane at the moment, facing the little girl on the ground.

After seeing Chen Beibei come in, he still didn't stop.

The speed of the crutches is very fast, and the force used is also very strong, and if you hit the girl's hand, it will definitely hurt.

"Sa!"

Gu Yuniao, who was originally outside the door, appeared in front of the man at the moment when the man's crutch was about to fall on the little girl's body.

Gu Xuanniao clutched the man's crutches tightly with his own hands.

With a cold look, stare at the man!

"What are you doing? This is my daughter, I can fight as much as I want!"

When the man spoke, he tried several times to pull his crutch out of Gu Kuo Bird's hand, but because Gu Won Bird's strength was too great, the man did not succeed.

"No way!"

Gu Xuaniao used his own strength to directly pinch off the man's crutch, and then threw it on the ground, and said coldly to the man.

for, parents with their children.

The emotions between the two parties should be very deep in Gu Wonniao's heart, if it is just to vent his anger, or because of some messy reasons, and hurt his own children, Gu Won Bird has absolutely no way to understand such a practice.

Xiaolian is dead, although she was killed by someone else.

However, isn't it wrong for her parents who sent her to Chunyu Street to sell herself to make money?

Gu Xuanniao leaned down and helped the little girl who had fallen to the ground to her feet, and some red blood slowly seeped out from the gap between the little girl's fingers.

I don't know what caused it, but the little girl seems to be injured.

"Show me."

Chen Beibei took the little girl's hand holding his shoulder, there was a wound of about three or four centimeters on his shoulder, which was not very deep, but there was still a lot of blood.

This kind of injury will not actually cause much damage, and after a while, it will probably heal on its own.

However, this still made Chen Beibei have a trace of anger towards men.

"Why did you hit her like that?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"At this time, I still want to eat, I keep saying that I am hungry, and I don't look, what time is it now......"

There was anger in the man's tone.

In the evening, the two little girls didn't actually eat anything, just drank a little soup, not to mention that before that, they probably hadn't eaten normally for many days.

It's normal to say you're hungry. 00

"I'm going to find something for her to eat, and you won't beat her for some trivial things in the future."

After Chen Beibei finished speaking, he walked out with the little girl, the little girl looked at Chen Beibei's eyes, it was strange, and moved her lips, but she didn't say anything, there was a feeling of wanting to say something.

"Let's go to the beach and get some fish."

Chen Beibei looked at Gu Xuaniao and said to her.

"Yes, master."

After Gu Houniao finished speaking, he flew directly towards the sea, and before he was in the house, Gu Houniao suddenly caught his crutch in front of the man, and pinched it off.

The fact that she is not human has been exposed, and there are only two families living on this island, and Gu Bird and they will soon leave this small island, so there is no need to hide that she is a monster.

"Little girl, what's your name?"

Chen Beibei looked at the little girl and asked her.

"Konishi."

The little girl replied.

"Your father...... Do you hit you often? ”

Chen Beibei continued to ask.

The little girl's wound has been tied up by Chen Beibei with a strip of cloth at this moment, which can be regarded as stopping the bleeding for the time being, but the blood stains stuck to the little girl's sleeve, which still looks a little unbearable.

The little girl looked up at Chen Beibei's eyes, then secretly lowered her head, looked at her shoes, and replied softly, "Well......"

The little girl's answer made Chen Beibei feel a sense of powerlessness.

After all, it was a matter between the father and his daughter, they would always be together, and Chen Beibei couldn't keep an eye on them all the time.

So, there is no way to solve such a thing at all.

"That'...... In the future, when he beats you, you can run. ”

Chen Beibei touched the little girl's head, her hair was very dry, and there was some yellowing, which was caused by malnutrition.

"Well, well, I will."

When the little girl spoke, she kept her head down, and her eyes never left her shoes.

……

When Gu Yu Bird returned, he carried a few fresh fish in his hand.

"Master, I'm back."

While the bird was talking, the inugami had already lit a fire on the ground and set up a rack for grilling fish.

The sea breeze blew, and the moonlight and starlight, combined with the light of the fire, illuminated their area.

"Tomorrow you can leave Lingfeng Island, and you won't have to endure hunger anymore, you must cherish that life."

Chen Beibei looked at the little girl and said to her.

"Will there always be food?"

The little girl raised her head, looked at Chen Beibei, and asked him.

"No, but if you keep working hard, then you will always have something to eat!"

Chen Beibei replied.

No matter how much help is given, it is always only temporary, which can pull people out of difficulties, but it is impossible for a person to have a rich life because of help.

What you need, what you want, what you want, these are all things that you need to work hard to get it.

This must be the same for Chen Beibei or for the little girl.

The aroma of grilled fish overflows from the fish.

Accompanied by the sea breeze, teasing everyone's taste buds one after another, the little girl swallowed her saliva and even made a slight sound.

"Eat."

Chen Beibei put the fish that had been grilled and stuck it in a stick and handed it to the little girl.

The little girl began to gobble up.

……

Early the next morning.

The owner of the sea square took the boatman's boat and came to Lingfeng Island.

The fish and boats had already been sold by the sea owners, and Scarborough Town now has a lot of outsiders, and there is a great demand for ingredients, so it can be easily sold.

"Master, this is selling fish for money."

The owner of the sea square handed Chen Beibei a stack of money, which seemed to be a lot, at least enough for their family to leave Lingfeng Island.

"Well, it's a good job, Master Haifang."

Chen Beibei looked at the owner of the sea and said to him.

Walking into the house, the smell inside is still a little unpleasant, and there is a feeling that it is difficult to breathe.

The woman on the bed saw Chen Beibei come in, patted the wooden board on the side of the bed, and reminded the man that the man had just woken up from his sleep.

"You're here......"

The man looked at Chen Beibei, raised his head and said.

The man remained in a position leaning against the edge of the bed, not standing up or moving his position.

"This money is enough for you to get out of here, after you leave here, go out and live a good life."

Chen Beibei looked at the man and said to him.

After Chen Beibei finished speaking, he put the money in his hand in front of the man, and then turned around and left. After all, that's all they can do.

……

In a small sea sand house.

A somewhat obese woman was leaning on the headboard of the bed, her eyes fixed on a black-and-white TV not far away.

The picture of the TV is a shaking snowflake.

The woman seemed to be thinking about something and had been in this position for a long time......

"Bang bang."

The knock on the door pulled the woman back from her thoughts, and the woman slowly got up from the bed, and when she got out of bed, she kicked the table on the floor with her foot: "Broken TV......"

I came to this woman again because of what Xiaolian's father said before.

He said that there are only two families left on the island, and that the rest of the people have basically moved out of the place.

Fat women are one of them.

This woman, Chen Beibei always felt that her heart was full of kindness, at least the kind of person who did not have a bad heart.

"Xiaolian's family will leave here soon, you ...... Do you want to go out and live too? ”

Chen Beibei looked at the fat woman and asked her.

Chen Beibei hoped that this fat woman would leave here, after all, it was a very lonely thing to live alone on a barren island.

And it's also easy to die.

In the woman's room, next to the bed was a pair of men's shoes, which were placed very casually, and the two shoes were not together at all.

"I ...... Let's not go. ”

The woman said.

As for this reason, Chen Beibei really didn't understand.

Xiaolian's father's explanation for the fat woman's refusal to leave Lingfeng Island is: "Probably her husband abandoned her, so she didn't care about everything, so she didn't want to leave." ”

If this "probably" is true, then the fat woman is really a little self-defeating if she doesn't leave.

However, this fat woman in Chen Beibeijue is not such a person.

The woman is optimistic.

She always had a smile on her face, and when she laughed, it was hearty, and there was no trace of darkness at all.

Whether it's talking or acting.

All of them can be seen that this is not an autistic, indifferent to everything, giving up on her own woman.

"Can you tell us why you're not leaving?"

Chen Beibei said.

"Come in......"

The woman looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.

Entering the woman's room, it was still exactly the same as before, nothing had changed, and there were still some boring TV dramas playing on the TV.

The fat woman took out a small hoe from under her bed.

Then he moved the bed to a certain position and began to dig under the original bed.

The earth exudes a damp smell, with some rotting shells and conchs, which are always the case on the seashore, and some shells and conch go somewhere, thinking they are safe, but when that place becomes dry, they slowly die.

"What are you digging?"

Chen Beibei looked at the fat woman and asked her.

"It's going to be good right away......"

The woman did not directly answer Chen Beibei's question, the hoe in her hand never stopped, and she dug very hard.

Soon a jar of wine, sealed with red cloth and rope, appeared in the hole that had been dug.

The fat woman knelt on the ground, hunched over, and took out the jar of wine: "This is the wine I buried when my husband and I got married, and I originally planned to save it for the divorce later......"

When he got married, he buried a jar of wine and kept it for the time of divorce to drink, this is the first time Chen Beibei has seen this practice.

Being able to do this means that they have nothing to shy away from about divorce.

"The longer the wine is left unattended, the more mellow it will be, and if the marriage lasts too short, there is no way to brew a good wine...... It's just that I didn't expect that this jar of wine would never have a chance to drink it again. ”

The fat hand of the fat woman holding the wine looks very gentle, or rather...... Gentle, with a kind of tenderness in the eyes, the ripples of memories gradually faded......

"When my husband was out to sea, he was caught in a storm and disappeared from then on, and his body was not even found. Because only my husband's body was not found, many people began to speculate that my husband had abandoned me and gone to live with someone else's woman......

But I knew my husband wouldn't do that.

Because, we once agreed that if we are tired of each other, whether it is because of personality, psychology, or appearance, then we can choose to separate. It's nothing, it's perfectly acceptable, everyone gets tired of a constant layer of life.

After drinking this jar of wine, getting drunk, the marriage is like a dream with sobriety and completely disappearing, and then moving on to a new life......"

When I didn't have full attendance, I thought about whether I should take a few days off, and I could take five days off. After all, in addition to full attendance, this book only earns about ten yuan a month. But come to think of it, what am I writing this book for? From October 1 last year, it has been nearly eight months now, more than 200 days, just because the mobile phone charger broke in the countryside, and then it was updated three minutes late the day before yesterday. So far, I have received a total of 1883 manuscript fees, and it is really negligible to put it together for such a long time. How to say it, writing this book, of course, I thought about making money, but since 82 collections have been on the shelves and 2 have been ordered, the purpose of making money has been completely gone. Well, most of the reason for the current insistence is because of what I said before, "I want to write enough for a million." ”。 But now that I've written, one million is already close at hand, and I'm starting to feel that there is actually a subtle reason, that is, I really like the monsters in Onmyoji! From the beginning of the pen, and then to countless times to check the information, make up, almost every day one or two o'clock to sleep, even now in the factory to work, need to get up at seven o'clock, still did not change this habit! I like this reason, it's a "root" that really keeps me going. (bb: Then keep writing, I've been tired for so long, and it's not bad for a few days!! ）
