Volume 8, Chapter 61: Guilty of Guilt

"You should also know that this is the patriarch's order, if we don't let Xiaoxue go, we will openly oppose the patriarch!" This is not something you and I can bear. "I stood under the melon stand and heard my father's weak, muddy voice.

My father was not a father, he was a coward, and not only did my mother look down on him, but even I resented him. He is not a good father, and he only knows how to back down and compromise when things come into trouble. At the time, I didn't know what they were talking about, but I supported my mother, who was a great mother. At least until I saw her kill her father herself, she was a great mother.

"Coward!" In the kitchen, there was a mother's angry scolding, "Do you only know obedience, only compromise?" Even if it's a conspiracy against our Xiaoxue, you're going to let her go? Even if the patriarch wants her to die, you must let her pass? Are you still a man? How did you become a father? Coward! ”

In the kitchen, my father was silent, and he didn't know what he was doing. I have never had a good impression of my father, but now I am happy to hear my mother accuse him.

But I was too short to see what was going on in the kitchen.

So, I clumsily climbed up the bamboo pole on which the melon stand was built and squatted between the melon leaves.

All of a sudden, it became taller. Through the window, I could clearly see everything that was going on in the kitchen.

But my mother and father didn't see me, because I was squatting among the lush melon leaves.

The father sat at the door of the stove, his head bowed and smoking his pipe. His face was very sallow, like a man who had been ill for a long time, his eyes were cloudy, and his spirit was sluggish.

He was afraid of the cold, it was morning, and it rained last night, and the temperature was very low, so he had to sit at the door of the stove to keep warm.

The mother was very angry, she dropped the kitchen knife that was originally chopping vegetables, walked to the door of the stove, pointed to her father and said, "I don't care! Xiaoxue is my daughter, and I am her mother. I'm not going to let her pass. Patriarch? Hehe! What patriarch is he? He just wanted to use this matter to execute Xiaoxue, so that Xiaoxue, who had the power of Ling Yue, would not threaten his position! Do you think I don't know? ”

"Satsuki!" The father was also angry, and he said, "Do you know the consequences of this? If you insist on not letting Xiaoxue go, the patriarch will come to deal with you and me. You and I will die! Isn't it just a daughter? If we have another one, it will be ......"

"Coward!" The mother was furious and slapped her father in the face with an ear brace. directly knocked down his father. "Don't mention this to me!" Mother's eyes were red, "You want to be beautiful!" I want to regenerate! …… You are...... A livestock! All these years, if it weren't for Xiaoxue, you thought I would live with you with humiliation? Xiaoxue was not raised by you, and you don't love her. But she is my daughter, and if anyone dares to touch her, I will not be finished with him! ”

I squatted on the melon stand, a little confused, but my heart was cold. I was young, and I didn't really understand what they were saying. All I know is that my father and mother are going to give me a little brother or a little sister.

I only vaguely felt that someone wanted me to die. But after all, I don't know.

I also knew that my mother was angry and my father was terrified...... I don't know what he's afraid of.

"Satsuki, have you really thought about it?" The father stood up from the ground, the corners of his mouth were bloodshot, and he looked at his mother viciously, "I would rather not have this daughter!" She's a scourge! Sooner or later, it will get us in trouble! With that, he prepared to walk out of the kitchen.

I looked at my father's back in a daze, so sad in my heart, he didn't want me? I don't have a good feeling for him, I hate him as much as my mother, but I don't want to have a father all the time, a father who loves me all the time. But what is most common to other children has become a luxury for me.

"You come back to me!" The mother shouted at the father's back, "Where are you going?" ”

"I'll just go out for a walk!"

"Let's go?" The mother sneered, "You don't want to go anywhere until I make sure Xiaoxue is safe!" Don't you think I don't know what you want to do? You're a coward! Scum! You are thinking of selling your daughter's life to save your life! Stop! ”

The father did not dare to move anymore, he was afraid of his mother.

Under his mother's gaze, he walked back silently.

"Satsuki!" He raised his cloudy eyes and said, "Isn't it just a daughter?" Is it worth your death? Won't we have another one? ”

"You...... Wish for the moon! Hehe! You scumbag! ”

The father was not happy anymore, and he said indignantly: "You keep saying that she is our daughter, but are you my wife again?" Hum! After all these years, you won't let me touch you at all! Why can't I sacrifice her? Why should I recognize her as my daughter! ”

"Smack!" Another clear slap fell on the father's face.

"Shut up!" His mother stared at him and said word by word, "You beast, you still want to touch me?" Your filthy body is not worthy to touch me! ”

"You didn't force this?" The father wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "If it's not you?" Will I still go out and find those women? ”

"You really don't know? Or play dumb here? I don't know when, my mother lifted the kitchen knife and pushed my father into the corner step by step, she said,

"Six years ago, I was thirteen years old, and you were two years older than me, fifteen...... ...... that night"

After that, I couldn't listen to what they were saying.

I was so sad, I never thought that my father would hate me so much, that he didn't even want me. He hates me so much, why does he want to be my father again?

I can't figure it out! I really can't figure it out. I don't quite understand what they say. All I know is that I was abandoned, abandoned by my biological father.

I wanted to cry, but I didn't dare to cry. I'm afraid of being heard by them.

But I still wanted to cry. I squatted on the melon stand, covered my mouth, and cried quietly.

It's not that I don't want to leave the melon rack, it's that my legs are already weak and I can't get off at all.

I've been crying for a long time, and I don't know how long I've been crying. Suddenly, I saw a man in the tree behind the kitchen! A little girl in a green dress!

It's cousin!

For some unknown reason, she came here too.

I wanted to cry even more. On weekdays, my cousin and I are the best, and as for the others, they all look at me with a kind of monster eye, which makes me uncomfortable. They are very unfriendly, and they will even call me for no reason, calling me a monster, calling me a sinister seed!

I don't know what that means, but I know they're scolding me.

I want to tell my cousin about my grievances. I was just about to climb down the melon rack, but I saw her mouth wide open, looking into the kitchen in horror and uneasiness.

I wiped my tears and looked at the kitchen.

Then, I saw the most terrifying scene of my life!

Mother kills father!

She cornered her father and stabbed him in the throat with a red-hot needle!

My father died in fright, in struggle, and unwillingly.

His eyes widened and he stared at his mother.

I covered my mouth irrepressibly and almost screamed.

My mind went blank in an instant, and I couldn't think of anything.

It's cold! It's really cold. I feel like the world has become so quiet, unbelievably quiet, so quiet that I want to cry, but I can't cry anything.

When my father was about to take his last breath, I saw my mother lying on top of him, with tears in her eyes, gritting her teeth and saying a word.

I couldn't hear what she was saying.

After hearing her words, the father seemed to remember something, held his mother's hand tightly, and closed his eyes.

Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, streaked across his sallow face, and dripped onto his gray-blue clothes.

My body shivered uncontrollably, and I felt so cold, so cold that I almost couldn't move.

The melon stand made a slight sound.

I'm so scared, really scared.

I staggered down the melon rack, covered my face, and staggered away.

I don't know where I'm going, I just know I'm getting out of here.

I don't know why I left here, but there was a mother who loved me the most.

But I was just scared, unspeakably afraid.

I'm getting out of here.

After running for a long time, I finally ran to the grass outside the village.

I slowed down, looked at the cold, gray sky, and wanted to cry loudly, but I couldn't cry anything, and I held back for a long time, and then I squatted in the grass and cried lowly.

I'm still afraid of being heard. I don't know how to tell anyone what I saw. My mother killed my father!

My father is dead! He's dead!

Something suddenly came to me again.

That was a long, long time ago. He came back from outside and brought me lots and lots of sugar and snacks. He carried it in a small bag and secretly stuffed it to me without my mother noticing. He also winked at me and whispered to me that it was a secret between me and him.

My mother wouldn't let me eat sugar, saying that my little children would have sore teeth if they often ate sugar.

But I just want to eat sugar, because they're so sweet, really sweet!

I still remember that day, he carried me on his back and climbed high snowy mountains to pick snow lotus. They were really beautiful, and I was so happy that I was jumping and jumping in the snow.

But when we came back, I had a cold. His father was scolded by his mother, but he didn't dare to reply, so he let his mother scold him.

That time, I was so naughty, and I asked my father to take me to pick snow lotus.

I still remember...... I still remember one time, there was a little boy who bullied me, and when my father found out, he taught me how to fix that very bad little boy.

I was really happy to see that little villain get to my heart's content, who told him to bully me before?

I still remember many, many things, but...... But I can only think about it.

His father died, and he died at the hands of his mother. No one will secretly stuff me with candy anymore, and when I am bullied, no one will teach me how to bully people.

Father is dead!

He was really dead, and I saw him die with my own eyes.

If she doesn't want me anymore, I don't believe anything, and if he doesn't love me, why do you secretly give me candy?

All kinds of things in the past, replay in my mind over and over again.

The more I thought about it, the more sad I became, the more sad I became, the more I cried, and the more I cried, the more I couldn't stop crying.

In the thatch, there were also raindrops, and they quickly wet my clothes. It was really cold and I started shivering again.

In the small droplets of water, my pale face was reflected.

I felt helpless, like a wounded bird in the sky.

"Xiaoxue...... You ......" Behind you, a person's voice suddenly sounded.

"Sister...... "As soon as I turned around, I saw clearly that the person who came was my cousin, and she was now the only person I could trust.

I turned around and hugged her and cried out loud and uncontrollably.

"Sister, you say...... You say this...... What the hell is going on...... Father, will he not want me? Will he dislike me? Why did his mother kill him again? ”

My cousin was three years older than me, and she knew more things than I did.

"Xiaoxue," she looked at me, and stopped talking.

"Sister, what do you have to say?"

She was silent for a while and asked, "Xiaoxue, do you know what your mother just said to your father?" ”

I shook my head, I didn't want to hear it at all. I don't want to hear anything about this anymore.

She stared at me and said, "Your mother said, 'Brother, I hate you!'" ”

I didn't know what that meant, and I didn't want to know, I just knew that my mother killed my father, and my father died! He's dead!

"Xiaoxue," my cousin pulled me and walked in the direction of home, "You go back quickly." You are in danger right now, and your mother is looking for you. ”

"Nope! I'm not going back! I tried to break free of her hand and kept walking in the opposite direction, shouting, "I'm afraid! I'm not going back! ”

"Xiaoxue, you are obedient! If you don't go back, where else can you go? ”

"I ...... I...... I do not know! "I cried again, I really found myself with nowhere to go, or I didn't know what I was going to do.

"Xiaoxue, good! Don't cry! She will always be your mother. She loves you! I assure you, I won't tell anyone what I saw today! ”

"Nope! I'm not going! I just won't go back!

I'm scared! ”

"Xiaoxue!" My cousin was also angry, she straightened her face and said, "Do you know that someone wants you to die?" And now, the only person who can protect you is your mother! ”

"Yes...... But I was still scared. I said, "Sister, who wants me to die?" I didn't offend anyone. I don't have a deep grudge against them, why do they want me to die? ”

The cousin thought for a while and said, "Do you know a sentence: the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty?" ”

"I haven't heard of it!" I shook my head and asked, "What does that mean?" ”

The cousin thought for a moment and said, "This sentence is to say that a very ordinary person has nothing wrong with himself. But when he had a piece of jade, he was guilty. ”

"Why? Could it be that the piece of jade was stolen? Or was it robbed? I asked.
