Ai'er felt that she should be asleep and had a long dream.

She dreamed that she had gone to the plain again, and that the third brother was sleeping by the brook, and he said that he hated noise and silence, so he always slept in a place where there was running water, and there was no noise, and there was the quiet murmur of running water, so that he could sleep peacefully.

The third brother woke up, his narrow eyes were full of light when they opened, and he lazily stood up and said: Isn't it boring to play alone all day long? The third brother will take you to the town for a walk, see the fire leaves that have not yet fallen, and meet new friends.

Ai'er asked him: What new friend?

The third brother said: They are all little girls of the same age as us, each with their own personalities, and each with their own cuteness, take you to meet, maybe they can become good friends.

The third brother was in high spirits, and he could feel that he was very happy.

Ai'er was speechless, she knew that she was just a firework after all, and if it didn't burn anymore, it would be extinguished.

The third brother continued: Hey, people think I have a woman's relationship, but in fact, it is a woman's debt. Ai'er, the third brother gave you the only Han Jing, and when the time comes, they will bully me, you have to stand on the side of the third brother, otherwise, Han Jing will be confiscated!

Cold Crystal? Ai'er felt that her chest was unusually calm, and there was no cold crystal beating and warmth.

She took a step back and touched her chest, but she didn't touch the cold crystal, but she felt the coldness in her chest, and there was not even the fluctuation of her heartbeat, she felt so frightened......

The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the sky is dark, and someone in the distance is calling softly: Ai'er...... Ai'er ......

It was the mother—she was crying, her voice hoarse, she could almost hear the tears rolling down her cries. But she was so reluctant, she didn't want to leave the third brother, she didn't want to leave this free world, but the third brother was getting farther and farther away, he said to her: I'm waiting for you here, if you don't come, the zodiac stone will have no part for you.

Ai'er finally mustered up the courage to stretch out her hand and said loudly: Third brother, don't leave me, take me away.

Come back to your own world. Love girl - the third brother turned around and left.

Ai'er returned to her own world, woke up quietly, and saw her mother's tearful face, as if she had been crying for a long time, she trembled and approached Ai'er, her voice was so soft that she was afraid of alarming her: Ai'er, don't move, will it hurt? Does it hurt where?

What time is it? Or during the day, how do you feel like you've been asleep for a long time? I wanted to get up, but I felt a sharp pain in my chest, as if many needles were tied together and stuck in my heart.

The mother pressed her down and continued to lie back on the bed.

Ai'er wanted to ask her mother what was wrong, but she heard her voice floating in the air like silk threads, accompanied by an empty pain in her chest, she was very weak, so weak that she couldn't even make a sound, and even gasped for breath and her chest hurt terribly.

She looked at her mother puzzled, and her mother wiped away the weeping tears, pretending to be strong and smiled: It's okay, my beloved, the doctor said, as long as you stay in bed obediently and don't move, it will be fine soon.

Ai'er looked at her mother in confusion, what's wrong with her mother? She felt that she didn't seem to be the same, and her mother gently pressed Ai'er's shoulder, and said gently and firmly: Ai'er, don't move, okay? Don't worry about anything now, my mother will guard you, and my mother won't let others bully my beloved son in the future, okay?

Tears slipped down at the mother's red and swollen eye sockets, she didn't pretend like before, to find some pale reasons to cover up, Ai'er looked at the mother weakly, and then looked at the end of the bed, what about Nuannuan? Why didn't that girl stay on the side?

Also, what time is it? How long did she sleep? Did you miss the time to meet your third brother?

The mother carefully covered her with the quilt, and carefully held Ai'er in her arms, just like she used to hold the embroidery that was cut by the eldest mother with a broken heart, and said sadly: Ai'er, it's the mother's fault, it's the mother's too weak, so that Ai'er will be hurt. The mother promised Ai'er that she would be strong in the future, and Ai'er should also be strong, okay? Mother and Ai'er together, they have to be good, okay?

Ai'er closed her eyes tiredly, yes, her premonition came true, she really couldn't see that young and cheerful face again, her chest hurt so much, she was so painful that she couldn't say anything to her mother, she used all her strength, let the invisible needle prick her heart, raised her hand and touched my neck, gone, gone, her cold crystal......

After waking up for the first time, Ai'er has been very confused, sleeping and waking up, dimly, sometimes someone will come in the room, sometimes silent, but the most is the mother's cry, long and distant, painful, mother, I'm sorry, I made you sad.

Bedridden for many days, the eldest mother and Nuan Nuan did not appear, the whole Zhuangzi seemed to be only her and her mother, this strange atmosphere until Dad came back, Dad didn't even have time to throw down the horsewhip, and ran into Ai'er's room, she grew so big, never looked at Daddy's eyes so sad, he pale face to help Ai'er, gently held her in his arms: Ai'er, my Ai'er, Ai'er...... Is Dad wrong, Dad is wrong......

Why is everyone admitting mistakes? Why am I the one who bears the consequences of these mistakes? Ai'er looked at her mother standing behind her father, her face was so calm, calm to a ruthless degree, she looked indifferently at her father hugging her, a sneer suddenly flashed at the corner of her mouth, that sneer was like a mother possessed, making Ai'er's entire back cold.

After Ai'er woke up, it seemed that she had come to a strange world, everything had changed, only her mother and father came in her room, there were no other faces, and her mother gradually stopped crying, her expression was always very blank, tired, and preoccupied.

One day, Ai'er asked her mother: What about Nuan Nuan? I haven't seen her all the time, where is Nuan Nuan?

Mother said: Nuan Nuan went back to the countryside to visit relatives.

Ai'er felt strange, at this time, how could Nuan Nuan let go and go back by herself? Didn't she say that she was reluctant to leave her?

Ai'er asked: Then when will she come back?

Niang frowned, yes, anyone can frown, but Niang won't, Niang won't frown at her so impatiently, she said coldly: Maybe the countryside is good, and it may not be necessary if you don't come back. I'll arrange a new girl for you, and you can pick one when the time comes.

Ai'er didn't adapt to this change at all, her mother's indifferent tone, and the fact that Nuan Nuan would not appear again.

She thought about the way Nuan Nuan nodded quietly to see her away that day, and she felt a sense of foreboding in her unsettled heart, but she didn't expect that it would be the last time she would see Nuan Nuan.

Although Nuan Nuan is her personal girl, she grew up together since childhood, Nuan Nuan is very timid, but she always does all kinds of things for her in fright, is her willfulness unbearable, she is leaving? She didn't have any ability to let her come back, she just hoped that Nuan Nuan would really go back to the countryside to live a good life.

A few days later, my mother brought a few girls dressed as girls, asked Ai'er which one she liked, and picked on the girl.

The mother's expression was very serious and irrefutable, those girls lowered their heads, and only one girl looked up at Ai'er timidly and stupidly.

Ai'er knows that Nuan Nuan will not come back.

Ai'er held back her tears and pointed to the girl who looked up timidly, she was also an apple face, combed in a small bun, loose, and her eyes were timid: just her.

The mother sent the other girls away, and before those girls left, Ai'er could almost feel their relief - what's wrong? Doesn't anyone want to be her personal girl?

The mother straightened her waist and said to the new girl: Circle, since Miss chose you, it is your great blessing, you have to listen to Miss in the future, you will do whatever Miss tells you to do, if there is really something you don't want to do, think more about the younger brothers and sisters at home, maybe you are willing.

Ai'er was stunned, is her mother's tone and dialogue threatening the circle? She has taught her countless times, don't use power to override others, who has changed?

Huanhuan nodded cautiously and said: Got it, got it.

Everything frightened Ai'er.

Although Nuan Nuan is very timid, she is very intimate, and she is also very protective of Ai'er, Ai'er has always been a person with warm hands and feet since she was a child, Nuan Nuan is cold hands and cold feet, every winter, Nuan Nuan gives Ai'er a small stove that is reluctant to hold it in her hand, Ai'er is not afraid of cold, always let Nuan Nuan, Nuan Nuan will hold the small stove, warm and blushing, and said sincerely: It's good to follow Miss.

Circle is not, she is always cringe, no matter what she does, she has no idea of her own, and sometimes she will say something annoying stupidly.

Ai'er wants to be warm very much, she used to be surprised when she was on the side, but she was really not used to it, as if the food was not salted, and she forgot to draw the curtain when she slept. Especially her quiet appearance that day, which often appeared in Ai'er's dreams, made her very heartbroken, she didn't sleep well, and her condition didn't improve at all.

And what about the eldest mother? What about Mama Bear? Don't they hate her very much? At this time, even to laugh at her at the moment is normal, why haven't they appeared?

Ai'er asked the circle: Nuan Nuan, why haven't you seen your aunt recently?

Circle stared at her eyes: Miss, I'm Miss Circle, you are old and dizzy and recognize me as Nuannuan?

Ai'er is always so angry that the corners of her heart hurt: Let me ask you, why didn't the eldest lady see me?

Circle circle's eyes widened, like seeing a ghost, covering her mouth and not daring to speak, her fear was different from Nuan Nuan's fear of the eldest mother, Nuan Nuan was afraid of the eldest mother, and the circle was afraid of mentioning the eldest mother.

Ai'er's heart ached so much that she asked: Why don't you dare to mention her?

Circle shook his head: Don't ask me, don't ask me.
