Married to a woman with a very bad temper, but with a lot of dowry, the woman was once married, and also had a thirteen-year-old daughter. Because he has children, he can't find a good marriage, so he can only marry the impoverished Liuping.

The woman's surname is Liu, and Liu's lazy but blindly instructed Liuping to be a cow and a horse. Not long ago, the bandits ransacked and fell in love with Liu's daughter Xingxing, but Liu carried Liuping behind his back and stuffed Xiaodou's sister to the bandit leader.

In short, Xiaodou doesn't like Liu very much, and she doesn't like her "sister" Xingxing.

——

The first to spot the small pear was Xingxing.

One day she saw that Xiaodou was holding a pearl in her hand, she was shocked and jealous, but she knew that Liuping did not have the money to buy pearls. So I saved a thought, and secretly saw the little pear hidden in the stable.

She kicked over the porridge bowl: "Okay, I'll go and tell my mother that there is a white-eyed wolf at home, and the family can't eat enough and secretly raises other people!"

Xiaodou panicked and hugged her legs: "You can't go."

Xingxing glanced at the half-dead pear, and stretched out her hand with a smile: "Give me the pearl."

Xiaodou was a little hesitant: "It was given to me by my sister."

Xingxing smiled sarcastically: "Your sister is now enjoying happiness in the bandits' den!" If you don't give it to me, I'll tell my mother! ”

Xiaodou had no choice but to do what she wanted.

However, Xingxing did not keep her promise, and after getting the pearl, she still told Liu.

Liu's whole face was crooked, she lit the lamp, made a lot of noise, personally dragged Xiaoli out of the stable, pointed at Xiaodou and scolded: "You have become a fine little beast, the old lady has worked hard to live a house, but you are doing tricks behind me, the old lady will teach you a good lesson today!"

After that, he found a thin tree stick, and smoked the bean and cried like a wolf. Liu wanted to take advantage of Liuping's absence from the market to severely punish this child who usually looked unpleasant.

Xingxing looked at Xiaodou and raised the corners of her mouth.

She just hated these two sisters. When her sister was there, the young people of the village liked her sister, and her sister was born better than her, and she could wear pity in rags. She just hates this kind of person, why doesn't all this admiration belong to her? Now that they have been sent to the bandits' den, it is a good place, and nine out of ten women who have gone in have been tossed to death. She looked at Xiaodou, she was smart, and she looked so much like that annoying sister.

Xingxing's smile prematurely revealed a viciousness that only adults have. It's hard to believe it's a thirteen-year-old.

Liu whipped a few times and felt that his hands were a little numb. Her hands are still very white and tender, which she has spent a lot of money on maintenance, and she can't be hurt for this kind of thing at this time.

She stroked her beating heart angrily.

But he was coldly pounded by Xingxing: "Mother, look at it!"

It turned out that the little pear lying on the ground stretched out her hand with difficulty, and the white light mist surrounded her hand, and it didn't take long for a white and round pearl to fall to the ground.

Liu's eyes lit up.

Xingxing hurriedly ran over, picked up the bead, blew the dust and said, "It is indeed a pearl."

Liu smiled thoughtfully: "This little beast has been making trouble for a long time and actually picked up a monster that can produce pearls and came back."

Xingxing pushed her mother: "Mother, you see that monster is injured, we will keep her, so won't there be endless pearls?"

Liu said: "Hurry up and carry someone to my house, clean it up, and give her the best food and the best."

Xingxing hurriedly lifted the person, and Liu glanced at Xiaodou in disgust: "If you dare to say anything, I will feed you to the wolf!"

Bean sobbed and shrunk her neck.

In the next few days, Xingxing served tea and poured water diligently every day, but Xiaoli never paid attention to her. In front of the bed was a jar, which was short at first, but then wider and wider, like greed that people can't fill no matter how they can.

In the morning, Xingxing came in with an empty bottle, and in the evening she went out with a bottle full of pearls.

If the bottle is not filled, the adzuki beans will be beaten.

Xiao Li looked at the porcelain vase coldly, with a blank look in her eyes.

Xiaodou lifted the curtain and brought a bowl of medicine: "They have gone to the city to sell pearls, you should drink the medicine quickly." When they returned, there would be no medicine to drink. ”

Xiao Li looked at the child, her left hand was completely weak, so she had to take the medicine bowl with her right hand, and saw a bruise on her arm: "They won't let me get better too quickly, so there will always be pearls."

Azuki nodded.

Xiao Li smelled the bitter and unpleasant medicinal soup, and drank it without blinking.

If it had been in the past, maybe she would have found fault with something. But now is different from the past, her blood and hope are cold in the blood.

Only by staying alive is the greatest hope.

Xiaodou said, "Sister, are you really a monster?"

Xiaoli put down the medicine bowl and smiled lightly: "Yes."

Xiaodou gasped and said with some envy: "If only I were a monster...... A youkai like my sister who can turn into pearls...... Then I can protect my father and sister, and my mother, and I will pull her back and not let her go to any other world......"

Pear wanted to laugh a little.

Some youkai think of a way to become human, but some people envy a youkai who is at the end of his rope.

She shook her head ridiculously.

It was just a moment that she was keenly aware of a hint of abnormality.

The smell of fish coming from the wind.

It's the smell of blood and killing.

She immediately shoved the bean under the bed and stuffed the porcelain vial into her arms, which contained the pearls left today.

She looked at her solemnly and said word by word: "No matter what sound you hear, you must not come out." When the night was over, your father came back, took the pearls, and fled far away. Did you hear me clearly? ”

Xiaodou grabbed her sleeve: "Where are you going?" No, sister, you can't go, the bandits will take you away, you are not allowed to go......"

She said coldly, "Shut up!" Then he glanced at her coldly, "I've never been your sister, stay here if you don't want to die." If you dare to go out, I will tear you alive. ”

The chill that couldn't be hidden in those words made Xiaodou tremble.

She was in tears, but she didn't dare to say anything more.

Xiao Li glanced at her silently, and finally relentlessly, and walked out without looking back.

She looked out of the house, where two bodies were lying.

It was Liu and her daughter who came back from the market. The two of them put on newly made clothes, dressed in pearls, but their eyes were open, and they died unwillingly.

Pear gritted her teeth.

But there was only one person.

The man held the bone whip in his hand and twisted his neck, his joints clicking. He has a scorpion tattoo on his face that spirals from his neck to his jaw.

At this moment, blood splattered on his face, and he licked the blood splashed on his lips dryly, revealing an eerie grin, and his blade-like teeth were like jagged teeth.
