Night is approaching, and snow is starting to fall in the sky. A little girl was thinly dressed, huddled under the pier and shivered with cold.

It is said that when it snows heavily in winter, the mountain demons will come out to forage for food, and they will occasionally come down to the village to catch and eat the lone children.

Please eat me, the little girl thought.

Rustle ~ rustle

Someone stepped through the snow and came to the little girl:

"It's getting dark, are you waiting for the youkai to take you away?"

"Are you a youkai?"

The little girl looked up and asked, and saw a whip mark on her beautiful face, and her eyes were covered with a strip of cloth, as if she were blind.

"I'm a youkai!"

The person who came was dressed in a black coat, holding a paper umbrella and standing still in the wind and snow, looking down at the little girl with a smile.

Don't know what he's laughing at.

The little girl was silent, as if hesitating.

"Can you do me a favor after you eat me?"

"Why should I help you?"

yes, what did she do to ask the monsters for help!

After a long time, seeing that the little girl did not speak again, the person who came took the initiative to say:

"Why don't you tell me what I'm going to do for you. ”

"It's nothing, there is a child in the village, who is raised for white and fat, you go and eat him, it must taste good. There's an old bayberry tree in that yard, it's easy to identify!"

"Why?" the visitor frowned, but his voice was gentle.

The little girl gritted her teeth and remained silent.

"I don't like to eat white and chubby kids. ”

The man squatted down and said in front of the little girl:

"I like to chew flesh in my mouth along with bones, and it will taste good when you're skinny like that. ”

When the little girl heard this, her body trembled, and she didn't know whether she was cold or scared.

"I've seen some youkai who are picky and only eat children's offal. ”

The visitor continued to whisper in the little girl's ear.

The little girl buried her head between her arms, and her body shrunk even tighter.

"When they catch you, they will tie your hands and feet so that you can't move, and then they will cut your stomach open with their claws. ”

"You can only watch as they take out your heart, your liver, your lungs, and whatever you want, and put it in your mouth and feast on it. ”

The little girl began to think of the scene he had depicted, and finally she couldn't help but cry out in fear.

The people who came laughed and took off their big hats and draped them over the little girl.

The little girl was tired of crying, and only then did she realize that her body had become warmer, and she thought that she had met a gentle monster, and she did not intend to eat her, and added a dress to her.

"Go back, I'll send you. ”

"Hmm"

The little girl nodded, she was scared and didn't want to be eaten by the monster again.

I don't know when the snow stopped, and the moonlight illuminated the night brightly, and the little girl trembled and followed the strange monster to the village.

"The front is there. ”

"Can you see that?"

The little girl did not answer. Stopping in front of a courtyard, she stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Knock knock, no one responded. The little girl knocked louder.

"Who!"

There was an impatient voice in the courtyard.

The one who opened the door was a middle-aged woman, and when she saw the little girl, she said with disgust: "You dead girl, why didn't you freeze to death outside!"

The little girl lowered her head and did not speak, but wrapped the big coat around her body more tightly.

"Are you her family?"

The monster asked, and he saw an old bayberry tree in the yard.

"I'm her aunt, I don't know who you are?"

When the woman saw that he had an extraordinary bearing, she thought that he was a member of everyone who was passing by.

"When I saw that the girl was cold outside, I sent her back. ”

The monster took out a bag of broken spirit crystals, handed it to the woman, and said:

"It's cold, take these spirit crystals and lick some clothes for the family. ”

"This, how embarrassing is this!" the woman took the spirit crystal and said with a smile on her face, "Do you want to come in for a cup of tea, although the house is simple, there is also tea to warm up the body." ”

The monster shook his head: "I still have something to do, so I won't bother." ”

He glanced at the little girl and asked, "You haven't told me your name yet?"

"Ah Huan"

The little girl whispered.

"Ah Huan, my name is Ye Xuan, I'll come to see you in a few days. ”

......

"Stinky girl, what are you doing standing outside!

The woman roughly dragged Ah Huan into the courtyard, and Ah Huan almost fell to the ground.

"Your fur coat is good, it was given to you by that rich man!"

After Ye Xuan walked away, the woman closed the door and said to Ah Huan, "Don't take it off yet!"

Ah Huan curled up in his coat and shook his head vigorously.

Syllable~

The woman slapped Ah Huan to the ground and scolded loudly: "You are a! Eat me, wear me, use me, and dare to be so disobedient!"

Immediately afterward, the woman took a stick from nowhere and struck Ah Huan on the head and face.

"Your unblessed father and mother died early, leaving you such a burden and dragging us down, as far as your virtue is concerned, no one wants to sell it cheaply!"

Ah Huan curled up on the ground wrapped in his coat, biting his lip and not saying a word.

At this time, a big fat boy walked out of the door, wrapped in a thick cotton coat, and he muttered: "Grandma, the baby is hungry!"

"Bao, it's cold outside, go back to the room obediently. ”

The woman said, turned her head and glared at Ah Huan fiercely, and forcibly took off her coat.

"That's mine!"

Ah Huan screamed, she didn't have the strength of a woman, and she couldn't win.

"Yours, don't you need money to raise you so big! You don't want to eat dinner tonight!"

The woman took the coat and the money bag, ignored Ah Huan, and carried the big fat boy back to the room.

Ah Huan was lying on the snow with her head in her hands, leaving a few wounds on her hands, at this moment, how she wished that a monster could capture her, even if it was disemboweled.

......

In the middle of the night, Ah Huan hid in the corner of the firewood room and sobbed softly, and the cold wind blew in through the broken windows, carrying away the warm air around her.

She was cold, hungry and aching, and she always woke up after a few sleeps, and the winter nights were too cold and long.

The coat given by the monster was really warm, Ah Huan missed, and she hugged herself tighter, so that it would not be so cold.

Ah Huan took off the strip of cloth that covered his eyes, and his tears had already wet it, and it was so cold to wear. She opened her eyes, and her pupils were different from ordinary people, they were red and broken, like the stars in the sky.

It's just that she doesn't like it.

The gentle monster, he said his name was Ye Xuan, and said that he would come to see her again in a few days.

Will he come?

Can she beg him to take her away? She can help him with an umbrella, help him with his laundry, do whatever she wants!

Although the monsters scared her, no one had ever spoken to her so gently.

Never!

Will he really come back? He may have just coaxed her, and as soon as he turned around, he had already forgotten about her.

Moreover, even if he really came, would he dislike her eyes and dare not ask for her.

Thinking of this, Ah Huan cried sadly, no one would want her, everyone would dislike her, and so would that gentle monster.

Ah Huan kept suppressing her crying, she was afraid that her crying would wake up her aunt, and she would inevitably be beaten again.
