There is a small mountain peak in Taoyuan Village, on which there are delicious wild vegetables and various herbs growing all year round, the most rare thing is that there are no wild beasts that can hurt people, it is one of the main sources of livelihood of the villagers, and most of the people who come to this mountain every day to pick wild vegetables are children in the village.

"Bastard!"

The voice came from a boy about ten years old, carrying a basket of wild vegetables, followed by three children about seven or eight years old, all four of whom looked at the seven-year-old girl who had just come down from the mountain.

The girl was dressed in a gray linen patched shirt, the shoes on her feet were slightly smaller, so that her two big toes protruded a piece, and two holes were on the top, her small face was very clean, but it was sallow yellow, her hair was combed in two buns, her apricot eyes were shining like stars, her rose-red lips were biting tightly, and she saw the four of them subconsciously take a few steps back.

"Where are you hiding? You bastard, do you know how much trouble you and your mother have caused the village? You still have the face to pick vegetables, who asked you to come? You bastard is going to starve, come, throw all her food at me!" ”

As he spoke, the boy and the three children behind him came up to surround the girl, curled up, protected her head, and bit her lip until they threw all the dishes to the ground, and kicked her over a few more times before scolding and leaving.

She got up and dusted off her body, as if to dust off the pain in her body, turned and walked towards the mountain, and soon there was another basket of vegetables, she smiled excitedly, and ran home to the sunset, she remembered that her mother said that she would bring back a rabbit to satisfy her hunger.

When she returned to the village, she saw that the people who hunted today had returned, and there was laughter and laughter from every household. ”

She quickly put down the basket and shouted impatiently, but there was no response, she was curious, and shouted again: "Mother-mother-"

After searching from the inside out, she found nothing, and at this moment she was afraid, pushed open the courtyard door and ran quickly towards the village chief's house.

"Uncle and grandfather—" She panted, anxiously searching for Tao Danian's figure.

"Don't scream, there's no uncle or grandfather here!" Dow snorted coldly and pushed her again.

"She's still a child, so why bother to be like her?" Tao Danian walked out of the back room at this time and watched her count his wife.

"Uncle and grandfather, where is my mother?" She didn't care about arguing with people, and besides, no one in the village liked their mother and daughter except for the uncle and grandfather in front of her, and arguing with them was just self-inflicted humiliation.

"Your mother—she?"

"What's wrong with my mother?" The fear in her heart grew stronger and stronger, and her bright eyes did not dare to blink, for fear of missing something.

"What's wrong? Retribution! Thinking that the ancestors would be tolerant and able to forgive her for being pregnant out of wedlock? Hum! Seven more years of life is just entering the mouth of a beast, this way of dying is really cheap for her, and in my opinion, it is natural to burn her alive. Dow said coldly as he knitted the basket in his hand.

"Say what? Can't talk well with a child? Tao Danian's voice became louder.

"It's just a mongrel, and the whole village will give them a good look if you give them a good face, now it's okay, her mother is dead, and she is not surnamed Tao, can she always get rid of it?"

"What did you just say? What's wrong with my mother? She looked at her in disbelief.

"Let the beasts eat!" Dow said angrily.

She listened, watched, and finally made sure that she didn't lie to her, otherwise she would never have come back if her mother hurt her to the point that she hurt her bones, and the only explanation was that her mother died, was it to find the rabbit? She thought to herself, tears on her face.

"If you want to cry back and cry, don't stand here, bad luck!"

She listened to her swearing, I don't know where the courage came from, rushed over, biting her right arm fiercely, with Tao Danian's how to pull, how Tao scolded to no avail, she felt the sweetness in her mouth, thinking of her mother's gentle and kind smile, her ears echoed with the villagers' scolding and bullying of the mother and daughter, she couldn't help but step up her strength, she just thought that her mother was gone, she couldn't let her hear these ugly words, never!

"Ahh

Tao Danian finally pulled her away, and Tao screamed, only to see that a piece of flesh on her right arm had been bitten off, and the flesh was blurred at the moment, shocking.

"Humph! No matter who of you is in the future, if you dare to say a bad word about my mother and scold her again, I will eat your flesh and drink your blood at the beginning of my life, anyway, I will have no meat to eat in the future, and it will not be a big deal to eat you. She swallowed the flesh in her mouth hard, then wiped the corners of her mouth and looked at the attracted crowd and said fiercely.

"Remembering the beginning—"

"Uncle and grandfather, don't yell at me, you still have a heart in this village, so naturally I won't do anything to you, but I won't show mercy to other people, even if I fight for this life and become a terrible ghost, I won't let you go, I want to see if the ancestors of the same village cannibalism are in charge of it or not." After speaking, she turned around and walked to the statue of the ancestor in the center of the village, and knelt down respectfully.

The villagers looked at her immature back, and suddenly saw that on that day eight years ago, Tao Yuanyuan was also kneeling so upright, with firm eyes and a firm and mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Ancestor, although my surname is Cui, but I also have the blood of the Tao family in my body, now my mother is dead, I am the only one left, I thought it was good to follow my mother, but my mother said, let me grow up well, one day in the future to find my father, I have to live, but there are too many people in this village who want my life, today I am here to say hello, if someone wants my life in the future, I will not be soft, don't look at me as a child, but I can bite off the enemy's flesh and blood, now I want to live, I don't want to hear any more bad words about my mother, if you agree with my approach, you will recognize me, if not, it is nothing to leave here. ”

As she spoke, she picked up the sharp stone on the ground and smashed it on her hand, the blood flowed like a pillar, she didn't stop, she bit her lip and placed her injured hand on top of the sculpture, and then saw that the blood flowing from her hand was quickly absorbed by it.

"You have all seen that from now on when I hear a bad word from my mother, I will eat your flesh and drink your blood, and I will not be able to beat you as an adult, but you all have children; Don't think about killing me, the ancestors can all watch it, and I'll be myself, if I don't succeed, I can hide, if I don't succeed, I can run, once I run, then you should be ready to be slaughtered, because one day I will come back. ”

After speaking, she got up and staggered away, her immature back with a ruthlessness that could not be ignored.

"Yichu-" Tao Danian chased after him.
