Xuan Jiu stepped forward to pick up the bandage, clutching his sleeves with one hand, his eyes drooping slightly, and his thick black eyelashes covered his unknown look, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

After a while, Xuan Jiu regained his composure, strode out of the room, and saw his mother kneeling on the cold ground in despair.

"Mother! What are you doing? It's cold underground, so get up first. ”

Xuan Jiu walked quickly to his mother, stretched out his hand to his mother, and helped her up from the ground.

The mother's tearful and desperate eyes reflected the thin and fragile figure of the young man, and she grabbed Xuanjiu's well-defined hand, and tears silently slipped down her red and swollen eyes.

A lowly suppressed whimper came into Xuan Jiu's ears, his body stiffened, and then he slowly helped his mother up.

The mother used her strength to get up from the ground, pushed away Xuan Jiu's arm, turned her back to him, and wiped the tears on her face with her fingers.

Xuan Jiu put down his hand, walked into his mother, and asked in a low voice, "Mother, are you okay?" ”

The mother barely held up a smile and shook her head, "...... It's okay. ”

After answering, she stopped talking, lest her son be even more worried when he heard the choking in her voice.

"Mother, tell me! Didn't my aunt take away our family's food again!! Xuan Jiu's brows furrowed, and his always gentle tone aggravated.

The smile on the corner of her mother's mouth stiffened, and her expression was gloomy, and in an instant, she adjusted her facial expression again, shook her head and said nothing, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes.

The next moment, she tried to hold back her tears, her head turned slightly, not wanting her son to see her weak appearance.

Xuan Jiu stared at the back of his mother's head, his eyes full of anger.

Scarlet blood crawled all over his eyes, encroaching on his black pupils little by little.

His head suddenly went into a trance, and there seemed to be a mysterious and deep voice in his heart, tempting him: "Kill her!" Kill her! If it weren't for her, nothing would have happened, and my mother wouldn't have been so miserable! It's all her fault! Kill her! ”

No! Can't kill!!

The mother raised her eyes to look at Xuan Jiu, but was startled by his red eyes, she said worriedly, "Jiu'er! What happened to you!

"Mother, let's go back to the house first." Xuan Jiu suddenly came to his senses and bit his lip.

The mother didn't dare to say more at this time, for fear that her son would worry, so she obediently sat on the bed with Xuanjiu.

"Mother, you have a good rest first, you don't have to worry about the food, I have a way to solve it, we will definitely be able to survive this winter."

After settling down with his mother, Xuan Jiu turned around and was about to leave.

The mother suddenly grabbed his arm, and her voice trembled, "She is your aunt after all, since she took the grain, don't make trouble, our two orphans and widows, you can't take advantage of it, don't do stupid things, there are still some urgently needed silver taels here, we will definitely survive." ”

Xuan Jiu sighed in his heart, turned his back to his mother, pushed her hand away expressionlessly, and said in a normal tone, "Well, I have measure." ”

He knows the situation of his own family best.

The silver taels that he urgently needed were just an excuse used by his mother to appease him.

The pot can no longer be opened at home, and there is an uncle on the other side who covets their family's food, which is simply forcing people to a dead end!

Xuan Jiu returned to his room and found a bowl standing alone on a broken wooden table.

The chicken broth and minced meat in the bowl still didn't move.

Previously, he hurried out because he was worried about his mother, and he didn't notice that the bowl of soup was still intact.

Xuan Jiu suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

…… Ye Jin'er.
