The girl threw the torch to others, ran to Xin Yu in three steps and two steps, didn't care about the blood on the ground, didn't care about the smell of the corpse, sat on the ground with her legs flat, and held Xin Yu tightly in her arms, the front of her clothes was already wet with blood on his body. But the girl didn't care, and kept rubbing her forehead back and forth against the boy's cheek. stroked Xin Yu's body with her thin hands that were as white as mutton fat. Tears of distress swirled in his eyes.

After a while, the sky gradually dawned, and the pale blue sky was studded with a few remnant stars, and there was a little Venus-like light on the distant horizon.

Maybe it was because he felt the temperature of his body, or maybe he felt the girl's worry, and his consciousness slowly recovered, Xin Yu opened his eyes slightly, and his pupils reflected a beautiful and familiar face, smelling the fresh body fragrance. He knew that he was by his side with his best friend Mo Li. Although consciousness had regained, his vision was still a little blurry, and even if he couldn't see it very clearly, he still watched her quietly.

Looking at Xin Yu, Mo Li's tears could no longer be controlled, and they burst out of his eyes, flowing across his cheeks to form two tear stains, dripping on his forehead.

Xin Yu slowly raised his right hand to wipe away her tears, but he put his hand down again halfway.

"Poof...," Mo Li smiled sweetly.

Wiping her tears, she asked, "Are you awake, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I'm just feeling a little tired!" Xin Yu replied simply, then struggled his body, raised his head vigorously, and looked left and right, with a surprised expression.

"What about my mother?" When he asked this, Xin Yu did not look at Mo Li, but searched for other places with his eyes.

"Auntie was stabbed, and we villagers sent her back to our home. ”

Hearing this, Xin Yu broke free from Mo Li's embrace, touched the ground with his right hand, straightened his waist, stood up quickly, and ran straight in the direction of home.

"Slow down, wait for me!" Mo Li, who had not yet reacted, also stood up and chased after him. The blood-soaked skirt was tied around her legs, making it a little inconvenient to run, but she still followed closely behind. When I came to the door of my house, there were many people crowded at the door, craned their necks to look inside, and no one noticed the back of the crowd. Xin Yu pushed away the person in front of him hard, constantly twisting his body and moving forward. Passing through the crowd to the house, there were only a few candles burning in the dim room. Simple décor, and some necessities of life. In the corner of the room is a double wooden bed. The bed was very thick, and Xin Yu's mother was lying on the bed, her eyes slightly open, and she was breathing weakly. His face turned pale. The body was covered with a thin quilt made of linen, and there were several patches of different sizes and colors on top of the quilt. There was an old woman sitting next to the bed, with fluffy gray hair and a wrinkled old face looking at Xin Yu's mother with a solemn expression, and her mouth kept chattering. The voice was so soft that no one could hear what was being said.

Seeing his mother on the bed, Xin Yu strode closer, slammed his knees on the ground, held his mother's right hand tightly in front of his forehead, and his shoulders kept twitching.

Seeing that the old man Xin Yu packed up the wooden box full of bottles and cans beside him, as well as the strips of cloth full of bloodstains, he stood up and patted Xin Yu's shoulder gently, walked slowly to the door, and waved his hand to signal the onlookers to go away. "Ahh

There were only three people in the room, and Mo Li stood behind Xin Yu, tears already forming a damp line on his face. silently looked at their mother and son.

"Mother, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have .......," Xin Yu said with a cry.

"If I were taken away by them, how could I live alone in a world like this? Blame me for not protecting you! If my father was here, this would not have happened. ”

The mother's pale and dry lips collided up and down, and the voice was weak, Xin Yu hurriedly attached her ear to her mother's mouth.

"Child..... Child, when I saw your eyes, I understood that your choice was not wrong, and it had happened, so don't blame yourself too much. "

"Your father has not been back since he was taken away by them, and he has not been heard from since, and his fate is unknown. Only our mother and son are left to depend on each other, maybe this is the arrangement of fate. "

"I'm afraid I'm ...... now," the mother gasped.

Xin Yu hurriedly dissuaded and said, "Mother, don't say it, take a good rest, you will be fine." "

The mother continued, "I know my physical condition, and I don't want you to be an orphan. I can't rest assured of you, you're so young, it's going to be difficult to survive in troubled times. ”

From the collar of her dress, the mother took out a silver coin with a diameter of three centimeters, which she had worn for many years, and carved a cross on the obverse of the coin, which was the same size as the diameter of the silver coin. At the back of the silver coin is a heart-shaped yellow gemstone, the size of a broad bean, with a small dot of light in the center of the inside of the stone, which is constantly shining.

"Son, this is the most precious gift your father has ever given me, and your father told me that the name of this pendant is 'The Pious Heart.' I've been wearing it all the time. Now give it to you, and if your father and son will meet, show him this, and he will know who you are. ”

"I... I'm sorry....." Before she could finish speaking, Xin Yu's mother closed her eyes, and her breathing became weaker and weaker until she was no longer breathing. The right hand slipped from between Xin Yu's hands.

Xin Yu went crazy again, his eyes turned blue, he gasped, and roared. Seeing that the situation was not good, Mo Li next to him hurriedly stepped forward and pressed Xin Yu's shoulders with both hands, calling Xin Yu's name. No matter how she shouted Xin Yu, there was no response, Mo Li had no choice, hugged Xin Yu from behind again, interlocked her fingers, and hugged her tightly in her arms. Let Xin Yu struggle, let him beat his arms and hands. Mo Li didn't dare to let go even though he was in pain, and he tried harder, hoping to control Xin Yu as much as possible. The harder Mo Li worked, the more frantic Xin Yu struggled. Mo Li felt a little exhausted

Mo Li felt a little exhausted, and at this time, the pious light exposed outside became brighter and brighter, emitting yellow light and shining on Xin Yu's body, and gradually Xin Yu's consciousness gradually recovered, and he no longer struggled, and calmed down. Xin Yu felt that something was tying him, and when he lowered his head and saw Mo Li's hands red and swollen from being beaten by himself, Xin Yu was a little overwhelmed. Pulling Mo Li's hands away, he didn't dare to look at her. Instead, he lay down in front of the bed again without saying a word, and looked at his mother blankly.

Mo Li didn't pay attention to the glow emitted by the pious light, and felt that he had calmed down, so he let out a sigh, rubbed his aching arm, and when he saw Xin Yu like this, he didn't say anything and exited the house. At this time, the sky was bright and clear. The sun's rays spread across the earth. Even though it was daylight, a pungent fishy smell could still be smelled in the air. It feels like the cruelty of last night hasn't completely dissipated. The girl saw someone organizing the scraps of the ground to be collected into a pit and poured fuel on it for incineration. No one was afraid, because this kind of thing was taken for granted on this road.

Mo Li looked at the blood stains on his body, and only then did he feel how bad the smell on his body was, and he was nauseous and retching. I felt like something was pushing against my stomach. Mo Li hurriedly ran home, washed briefly, and changed into a pair of white trousers and a top. Without any decoration, it looks dignified, simple and unpretentious. I was still a little worried in my heart, as if I had thought of something, and after changing my clothes, I came out of the house and ran to the house next door.

The house next door is also a log cabin. Come to the wooden door. Knock knock... Boom. Mo Li knocked softly on the door. After a while, the door was opened from the inside, and an old man with a red face, a goatee, and short hair, with a crutch in his hand, and a surprised expression, stood in front of Mo Li.

"Oh, it's you, boy, I knew you were going to come to me... The old man said with a smile.
