Mrs. Chu shouted for a long time and didn't see Ningguang answer, so she became more and more angry, took a flat shoulder from behind the door, and looked for people all over the house.

As a result, I searched inside and outside but didn't find it, and the courtyard door was knocked on, and the people who came were violent, and they could feel their anger through the gate: "Open the door!" Pretend to be dead! We watched people go in...... Mrs. Chu, aren't you very capable? Now a shrunken-headed turtle? Hurry up and open the door! Otherwise, this broken door will be smashed! ”

When Mrs. Chu was holding on to the Zhao family, by the dock outside the village, Ning Guang was looking at the ice in front of him, trembling and shedding tears.

One of the reasons for the trembling is cold, the family adds new clothes during the New Year's holidays, basically there is no part of Ning Guang, although she is thin and small, after all, she is four years older than Ning Zong, she can't wear the clothes that Ning Zong doesn't want, and the family never thinks that she should buy clothes, basically picking relatives' clothes to wear. In these years, they are generally not rich, even if they are children's eliminated clothes, they can be used as much as possible, such as making shoes or something.

If you are really willing to take it out and give it away, it must be really useless.

The warmth of this kind of clothing can be imagined.

Another reason, of course, is fear.

Originally, Ning Zong was beaten, and she was about to suffer, but she was beaten by the Zhao family, and it had something to do with Shen Anyi helping Ning Guang work.

Ning Guang felt that if he continued to stay at home, he would really be killed.

So she took advantage of the deep love between Mrs. Chu and Ning Zong, sneaked out of the door, took the basket, and packed a few dirty clothes indiscriminately, and said that when the time came, she said that she came out to wash clothes, although she was still inevitably beaten, but she stayed up until the evening and then went back at the dock, and the family was all there at that time, the point was that Miao Guoqing was there, and there was always someone who stopped and persuaded her?

But thinking about it, the tears fell even more, because he thought that this father had no status at home, and if he stood up to protect himself, even if he was fine, he would inevitably have to listen to all kinds of heart-wrenching words.

The more the little girl thought about it, the more sad she became, and she couldn't help but sob.

Although the beauty in the countryside is generally not good at this time, and it is even more common for the son-in-law to be underfed and clothed, there are not many people who are as bitter as their father and daughter.

Ning Guang looked at the ice in front of him, and couldn't help but regret that he had given up the practice of the Laning Sect just now because he met Ning Yuemei.

Her aunt has always been selfish, even if she sees Ning Guang pushing Ning Zong down, she will definitely not save people.

They don't even call for help right away.

After all, Ning Yuemei had said earlier that if Ning Zong died and Ning Yue'e and his wife had no son, then Mrs. Chu and Ning Fulin's life savings should belong to her son and grandson...... Although after Mrs. Chu heard this, she called her to come to her and shaved her ears several times, which also shows the thoughts of this little aunt.

Ning Yuemei was only afraid that she was looking forward to Ning Zong's death more than Ning Guang.

"If Ning Zong and I both die here, we don't need to worry about my wife getting angry, and I don't need to worry about Abel." Ning Guang squatted on the floor slab, let's tear down, the more I thought about it, the more I regretted it, the more I thought about it, the colder my heart became, and I couldn't help but think that since I had missed the opportunity, why don't I just jump down?

I died, although I can't take revenge on Mrs. Chu and them, at least I don't need to think about the storm after I go home later.

She stretched out a finger and poked the ice, the weather is very cold now, but after all, it is Jiangnan, and there is only a thin layer of ice near the floor, which will shatter at the slightest touch, and the water under it is cold and refreshing, as if it is going to drill all the way from the fingertips to the bones.

Ning Guang subconsciously frowned and withdrew.

She suddenly gave herself an ear scraper, crying and scolding herself: "Why are you so cheap? The family beats you every day, and they can't eat enough, and they all want you to die! What are you doing while you're still alive?! I know that it will be okay to wait until I go back, but I have to go back and let them beat them and scold them...... You're so lowly that you'd rather live like their pugs than jump off?! ”

Scolding and scolding gradually turned into howling, she really couldn't understand why the same person had to live so hard?

is also a beautiful head, not to mention comparing with Shen Anyi, let's just say that in the village, for example, Zhao Xiaoying, who also has a younger brother, although she also has to work, she will be scolded and beaten...... But the Zhao family is at least not like the Ning family, and they don't treat their daughter as a human being at all!

As long as Zhao Xiaoying doesn't make mistakes, at most she scolds a few words at home, and she rarely gets started.

And every New Year's holiday, I will make her new clothes, tuition fees for studying, stationery, even if it is not so simple, but the necessities will not be missing Zhao Xiaoying. will not be like the Ning family, who is frightened when they see the sky.

So Ning Guang couldn't figure out why he still didn't have the courage to be in such a situation. What about killing?

It's easier to be dead.

"Is it because you didn't kill Ning Zong and was unwilling?" With tears in her eyes, she tried to convince herself, "But if you're dead, you won't know anything anyway...... If he dies and becomes a ghost, Ning Zong's strength is greater than mine, and I can't beat him! It's better for me to die alone, and then do a ghost to scare him to death......"

The girl chattered for a long time, and finally cried loudly, but she still took out her clothes from the basket beside her, and began to wash them with sobs.

Her mind was in turmoil right now, and she thought it might as well do something familiar to calm down.

The things she is most familiar with are washing clothes, sweeping the floor, cooking pots, etc.

"Why are you still doing laundry here?" Ningguang mechanically rinsed his clothes, and after a while, someone suddenly stood at the thatched gap and asked, "Your house is in trouble, why don't you go back and have a look?" ”

There was a clear schadenfreude in his tone.

Ning Guang didn't have to look back to hear that this was Zhao Jianguo.

Her hands trembled, and she almost let her clothes sink to the bottom of the pond, and she was suddenly startled, and hurriedly grabbed her sleeves.

"Your wife has been beaten in the mouth several times." Zhao Jianguo deliberately teased her, and when he saw that she was silent and did not leave, he stood there and continued, "Tsk...... I heard that your wife is not good, she has never been the only one who beats others, and others have never dared to let her suffer. But who told your brother Ning Zong's mouth to twitch? Who is not good to say An Yi, what is this not looking for death? ”

Ning Guang actually agreed that Ning Zong was looking for death, and she also wanted this younger brother to die.

However, the problem now is that Ning Zong may not die, but she is very likely to die.

"I'm going to catch birds for An Yi." Zhao Jianguo probably saw that she didn't reply, and felt bored, so he stood for a while, and left, not forgetting to tease when he left, "Be careful when you go back today, your wife can't get our family, I guess I will use you as a punching bag." ”

He hummed a song and walked away.

At this time, the boys in the countryside were almost all experts at the small animals that plagued the fields.

Zhao Jianguo, who is not a good learner, is especially the best among them.

It didn't take more than an hour to come back with two or three sparrows tied up by five flowers, and when I passed the dock, I heard the sound of pounding clothes, so I looked down at the opening, and saw Ning Guang beating the padded jacket with a mallet on the floor, and said in surprise: "Why haven't you finished washing?" ”

glanced at Ningguang's basket of clothes, and calculated in his heart the speed at which beautiful people in the countryside generally washed clothes, and understood.

He personally didn't have any special views on the Ning family, because he was still young when the Ning family was proud, and he didn't grit his teeth with hatred for Mrs. Chu's mother and son like the elders who had experienced it personally.

And although Ning Zong's personality is hated, there is a gap between his age and him, and they rarely play together, of course, there is no direct contradiction.

The most important thing is that he is just Shen Anyi's cousin, separated by a layer, unlike Zhao Liguo and Zhao Qin, who are Shen Anyi's cousins, and they rightly think that Shen Anyi should be the best with them, not Ningguang, who is not related to them.

It was Zhao Jianguo who had some sympathy for Ning Guang at this time: "You don't dare to go back?" But it's so cold, you can't stay out for the night. ”

Ning Guang remained silent and continued to beat his clothes.

Her mind was blank right now, and she didn't know what to do next.

However, Zhao Jianguo was rarely kind, and seriously thought about her idea for a while, saying that Shen Anyi would definitely be willing to accept Ning Guang, but whether it was Zhao Fuliang and his wife, Zhao Liguo and others, they were all very tired of Ning Guang, and if Ning Guang passed, it was estimated that he would not be pleased.

As for other families, it is estimated that there is no one willing to shelter Ningguang.

After all, Mrs. Chu is so fierce, normal people don't want to get into this trouble.

"I think you might as well go to the haystack." Finally, he pointed to the corner of the farmland not far away, where the straw that could not be piled up in the courtyard of the villagers, and could only be temporarily piled up in the field, and the haystacks built into the top of the slope, about four or five gathered together.

The children of the village sometimes come over to play a game of hide and seek.

But now in this season, the fields are bare, there is no place to hide, just a few haystacks are a little clear at a glance, which inevitably weakens the fun of the game, so children generally do not come this season.

Zhao Jianguo said very experienced: "It's a lot warmer to shelter from the wind there." It's too cold at night, and you can draw some straw out to make a fire, but of course you have to be careful not to burn all the haystacks. ”

He also told Ningguang where there were matches, "Don't use them up, I don't have the money to buy them if you run out." ”

As for why he hid matches there, Zhao Jianguo didn't say.

But Ning Guang can probably guess: boys at this age generally have a hobby, which is to set wildfires.

Zhao Jianguo's personal preferences have nothing to do with Ning Guang, and Ning Guang doesn't have the leisure to care.

After waiting for the man to walk away, she put away the clothes that had already been washed, and looked at the fading sky and considered: Do you want to hide from the haystack?

At this time, Zhao Jianguo, who walked into Zhao Fuliang's house with a sparrow, had already forgotten Ning Guang to the back of his mind.

He held up the sparrow to Shen Anyi: "Let my uncle kill it later, pickle it, it's delicious to fry it!" ”

But when he said this, he and Zhao Liguo and the others next to him were a little lacking in interest, although there was a general lack of meat in the countryside these years, but the sparrows really didn't have much meat.

Due to Zhao Xia's request, Shen Anyi's food during the foster care period could not be bad, although Zhao Xia did not allow her nephews and nieces to come over to share her daughter's food, but Zhao Fuliang and his wife took care of their grandchildren and made a big pot of food every time, which was enough for a few small ones to eat with their open bellies.

Shen Anyi is young after all, and she is not really a caring person. Son, as long as he is not short of food, he has no concept of complaining to his mother about these things.

So in the past year, Zhao Liguo and several people, including Zhao Jianguo, who has always been very close to Zhao Fuliang and his wife, have been stained with her, and they have eaten a lot of oil and water, so they naturally have little interest in fried sparrows.

"Why do you want to eat it?" The reason why Zhao Jianguo went to catch sparrows for Shen Anyi was mainly because Shen Anyi had just read Lu Xun's article and was very interested in the fact that there was a mechanism to catch birds, and Zhao Jianguo wanted to show his face in front of her, so he volunteered. I don't want this cousin to look at the sparrow that is chirping for a while, so I can't bear it, "Why don't you raise it?" ”

"I can't feed it." Zhao Jianguo told her, "It's better to eat." ”

“…… Why don't you feed them something and let them go? Shen Anyi was a little embarrassed when she said this, because she felt that Zhao Jianguo had worked hard to catch it, but as a result, she had to let go of her words, and she felt very disrespectful of her cousin's labor.

Zhao Jianguo doesn't care, in the eyes of a boy like him who runs outside all day long, it is not a matter of running outside the village alone to catch two sparrows on a cold day.

Especially in order to apologize, Shen Anyi went upstairs to take a copy of the snacks left by Zhao Xia for him to compensate, and he had no opinion.

After having dinner at Zhao Fuliang's house, he took advantage of Zhao Liguo and others to go to Zhao Fuliang's room to watch TV, while Shen Anyi went upstairs to practice the piano with self-discipline, quietly touched it, and whispered: "An Yi, when I just went out, I saw Ning Guang by the dock outside the village, and she was very scared." ”
