Chapter 3: Xiao Zhuang
Xiao Zhuang seemed to notice Han Xin's strange appearance, and whispered: "Some of these injuries were caused by people in the village, and some were accidentally caused by myself. It doesn't hurt anymore. ”
"Why do the people in the village treat you like this?"
"I don't know, probably because I didn't have a father when I was a child. I've been bullied by them since I was a child, and children, adults, seem to like to make fun of me and my mother. ”
"Where's your mother?"
"I died when I was five years old. ”
Thinking that Xiao Zhuang would also be executed by the people in the village tomorrow, Han Xin couldn't help but cry quietly.
"What's wrong with my sister? Did Xiaozhuang make you angry?"
"No, Xiaozhuang is fine, my sister is just a little sad. ”
"My sister must be a very beautiful person, although Xiao Zhuang is blind and can't see clearly, but I can feel the warmth from my sister, just like my mother. ”
After taking a bath and arranging for Xiaozhuang to sleep, Han Xin couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Running on the road these days, Han Xin felt that these hardships were very light for the first time.
After boiling some water, Han Xin was also ready to take a shower and relax.
"I didn't expect that the person who blocked Liang Jun turned out to be a little boy, it seems that this time it was really a trip in vain. But it would be nice if Uncle Wu was willing to go to Yue Guo with me. In the bathtub, Han Xin pondered.
"Hee-hee-hee"
Suddenly, there was a small snickering sound outside the window, Han Xin's nerves that had just relaxed immediately tensed, he quickly put on his clothes, looked out the window with a knife, and saw a figure running towards the village, Han Xin hurriedly followed.
He hadn't gone far before he heard a group of men talking in a low voice, and Han Xin hid behind a rock pile and listened carefully to their conversation.
"What do you boys want to do?"
"Is this voice the village chief?" Han Xin was shocked.
"Boss, such a beautiful little girl is on our lips, but we can only look at it, we really can't help it. That little girl is like a fairy, are you going to let her go, boss?"
"Yes, yes, big brother, this girl is even more charming than the woman you captured seven years ago. Moreover, this time someone else sent it to the door. ”
"That being said, we've all seen her master, and she's not a guy we can afford to mess with. But since everyone has this heart, we still have to think long-term. ”
"Thank you, Boss!", "Thank you, Big Brother!", ......
Hearing this, Han Xin felt that something was wrong, and quickly slipped back to the house, trying to wake up Nano, but what made her strange was that Nanoku was like a dead pig, Han Xin tried all kinds of tricks, and Nanoku just couldn't wake up.
In desperation, Han Xin returned to his room, closed the doors and windows, hugged Xiao Zhuang who had fallen asleep tightly, and stared at the crack in the door. All night, Han Xin felt as if something was staring at him in the dark room, and if he didn't pay attention, he would drag himself into the abyss.
"What's wrong with my sister? "Xiao Zhuang didn't know when to wake up.
"It's okay, sleep in peace. Han Xin adjusted his breathing and calmed down slightly.
"In the past, my mother often hugged Xiaozhuang like this. ”
Han Xin touched Xiaozhuang's head and gradually relaxed, and soon Han Xin felt sleepy, and her eyelids began to fall involuntarily, but she didn't dare to sleep, "No, if it goes on like this, it is likely to be attacked by the people in the village, no......"
............
"Wow-wow-"
"Where did the baby's cry come from? And why is it so hot?" Han Xin opened his eyes carefully, and found that he was in a canyon, surrounded by green trees, and the summer cicadas were like a pot of boiling water, and the noise was disturbing.
Not far away, a young woman picked up a baby with excitement on her face.
"Yo Xi Yo Xi, good girl, don't cry. The woman teased the baby in her arms and smiled at her husband behind her.
But, then, the style of the painting changed, and the man fell in a pool of blood, while the woman was surrounded by a group of robbers with the baby in her arms.
"Please, don't kill this child, I can do whatever I want. The woman cried and begged.
"You're a fool! This doll is the bait we set, and you not only don't want to kill this doll, but you also want to save this doll, this is the first time we have encountered it. ”
"If this child died, I would kill myself. ”
"Then keep this doll. Let's be happy first. Aha......"
"Stop!" Although he hadn't figured out the situation yet, Han Xin immediately ran to stop him, but as soon as he took a step forward, the picture changed again.
In the dark and damp dungeon, the woman I just saw was locked in a cell, she looked unusually tired, but with a faint smile she fed the baby in her arms, and hummed nursery rhymes in her mouth.
"The son of man eats by chirping, the cub of the beast eats with a roar, the son and the cub, the different one is a few Xi, the human milk is white and fragrant, the milk of the beast is pure and drunk, the milk and the milk are different, the child teaches with etiquette, the cub learns from the brute, the fluttering is made, and the different one is huge. ”
The cell door was opened, and a lewd fat man walked in, and the fat man handed the woman a bowl of leftover rice.
"Hurry up and eat, finish eating, so that you can be happy again." ”
The woman carefully put down the baby, picked up the bowl, and was about to eat, but the baby suddenly cried, and the woman quickly threw away the bowl and picked up the baby.
"I said you, wouldn't it be good to throw the child away, and you didn't give birth to it, I don't know what you're thinking in your head?"
The woman holding the baby just glanced at the man and did not make a sound.
"You're not eating, are you? If you don't eat, come with me. The man grabbed the woman's arm and forcibly dragged her into the interrogation room.
"How can you do this?" Han Xin followed and came to the interrogation room, only to find that there was no one here. "Strange, what about people?" Confused, Han Xin came out of the interrogation room, only to find a haggard woman squatting in the corner of the cell, shivering, holding a two-year-old boy tightly in her arms.
At this time, three men came in, and one with a scar on his face said, "Give him to us." ”
"What do you want to do?"
"Hahaha, this is a bandit village, we can't raise a child who has nothing to do with us for nothing. ”
"Please, whatever you want, don't kill him. The woman crawled up to the man, tugged at the man's sleeve, and begged in a low voice.
"Phew!" a man spat at the woman, "look at the way you look now, what will you do if you kill him." ”
"Please, please. ”
"Don't worry, we won't kill him. We will nurture him so that he grows up to be an obedient slave. If there's any dangerous work in the future, I'll leave it to him, hahaha. ”
Amid laughter, the man forcibly snatched the little boy away......
For the next three years, the boy endured all kinds of inhuman abuse by the robbers during the day, and returned to his cell at night to be with the woman. Every night, the woman would hold the boy tightly as if she were holding the most precious treasure in the world.
Time passes slowly, the women in the dungeon grow emaciated day by day, and the boys grow up under the twisted education of the robbers. Gradually, after all kinds of physical pain, the boy's body forgot about pain, no matter how people beat him, he felt like he was cutting his hair, and even he forgot that humans could hurt.
"It's okay to forget it, so you don't have to suffer. When the woman knew, the woman just whispered.
When the boy was five years old, one night, a drunken man ran into the woman's cell, and after venting his thoughts, the man picked up a wooden stick and poked the woman in the eye as if he were pounding rice cakes.
When the boy returned to the cell, he found his mother lying on the ground, holding her head and moaning, and the boy asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"
The woman held back the pain and replied, "It's okay, my mother is just a little uncomfortable in her head." ”
The little boy gently took the woman's arm away, only to find that the mother's eyes were gone. But there was no surprise or pain on the boy's face, only a faint sentence: "Mother, does it hurt?"
"No, it doesn't hurt at all. The woman forced a smile and hugged the little boy.
"Really?" whispered to the boy......
Soon the woman fell seriously ill, and the robbers pulled the woman out and tied her to a log, intending to burn her.
That night, the boy watched silently as his mother's figure disappeared into the flames. The woman, however, did not let out a single cry of pain until it was reduced to ashes.
............
In the early morning, when Han Xin woke up, he found that his face was full of tears, and the side of his pillow was also wet. "What's wrong with me?" Han Xin touched his face and asked in a low voice. Lowering his head, when Han Xin saw Xiao Zhuang who was still asleep, a picture suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, in which an emaciated woman was holding a baby. Han Xin seemed to remember something, but he didn't.
At this time, she remembered what she had overheard last night, so she wanted to run and tell Nano, and when she walked out of the room, she found that the village chief and Nano were both in the house. The village chief carried a bucket with breakfast in his hand.
"Little girl, you're awake. Come and drink some porridge. "The village chief.
"Han Xin, you can accompany Xiaozhuang today, and leave the rest to me. "Nameless.
"But, village chief, they're not ......" Han Xin wanted to tell Mingwu what he heard last night, but halfway through his words, Mingwu suddenly stretched out his hand and patted Han Xin's little head gently, "Don't worry, it'll be fine." ”
"The villagers kindly prepared breakfast for you, eat it quickly. ”
Looking at the breakfast on the table, Han Xin's face was flushed, he wanted to eat but didn't dare to eat it.
"What's wrong with you? Eat, this is a piece of the villagers' heart. ”
"I'd better wait for Xiaozhuang to wake up and eat together. Han Xin excused himself in embarrassment.
Na Wu picked up the bowl and was about to eat, when Han Xin immediately shouted: "Don't!"
However, with a "rumbling", Nano had already swallowed the food. A strange smile gradually appeared on the village chief's face, and his eyes were full of anticipation to look at Na Wu, while Han Xin was dumbfounded.
"Gollum" took another bite without any trouble.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you all looking at me?"
In a short time, no one had eaten all the breakfast.
"Are you alright?" the village chief's face turned from excitement to confusion.
"What's the matter?"
"Uh...... No. I mean, if you're okay tonight, we'd like to throw a party to thank you. The village chief said slowly with a complicated expression on his face.
"Okay, we'll go. "Nameless.
"Then I'll take my leave. With that, the village chief left.
Han Xin was confused, she didn't know, she didn't know if the village chief wanted to harm him. Before Mingwu interrupted her, Han Xin thought that Mingwu knew everything, but just now Mingwu ate breakfast without any scruples, and it was like he didn't know anything. "I'd better make it clear. Thinking of this, Han Xin said: "Uncle Wu, the village chief ...... them"
