"Sister Xiaojing," leaving Qiaojia Village, the mud baby followed behind Qiao Xiaojing and Qiao Shuangxi, crossed the small river at the edge of the village, and said slowly, "Where are we going?

"Of course," without waiting for Qiao Xiaojing to reply, Qiao Shuangxi preemptively said, "If you don't go with us, do you still want to go back?" Don't forget, such a big change has happened, although the people in the village have no urge to take your life for the time being, but the curse and hatred for you still exist, and it is neither convenient nor safe for you to stay alone. Also, my dad won't stop there. ”

"What do you say?" retorted the mud baby, "what is your father, he will not stop at me, I don't want to let him go like this!

"You kid," Qiao Shuangxi felt that Qiao Baocai had done a lot of things wrong, and he was very opposed to it, but when he heard the mud baby say that he was wrong in person, Qiao Shuangxi still couldn't accept it, he turned around, faced the mud baby, and said angrily, "Why is there no education at all, no matter what, he is also your elder, how can you talk like this?"

Qiao Xiaojing was thinking about something else, her attention had already followed her thoughts, and she didn't notice what was happening behind her at all, let alone hear their argument. She didn't change, she walked forward, and she had already left them ten meters away.

"Yes," the mud baby was also angry, he pointed at Qiao Shuangxi and said, "I didn't have a father before, and now I don't have a mother, there is no one to support in life, so I can compare with you, you have a high father, what can I have, of course I have no upbringing." Since you look down on me so much, then why should I follow you, look at your face? You go, I don't believe that I will die without you!"

"...... you" Qiao Shuangxi saw that the mud baby's voice had just fallen, and he sat on the ground, his eyes fell on the river like black, he was angry and helpless, but there was no better way, so he had to endure the unhappiness in his heart and said, "What you said, I really want to slap myself...... Okay, don't play with the child's temper, let's go quickly, Xiaojing has already gone away. ”

"You don't have to worry about it," the mud baby said angrily, "I don't believe it, I can't live alone, I have to die without you, huh...... In the future, if you take your Yangguan Road, I, I will take my single-plank bridge, and I will not believe it. ”

"Ni Wa," Qiao Shuangxi changed his tone in order to prevent Ni Wa from being stubborn any longer, and said like coaxing a child, "I want to apologize to you for what I just said, I was wrong, I didn't take into account your feelings when I spoke, it made you feel uncomfortable, I was wrong, I was really wrong." You see that I sincerely apologize to you, have you forgiven me?"

"I really think of me as a child," the mud baby was still as cold as frost, and said lightly, "I don't eat your set, although you say so now, but what do you think in your heart, don't think I don't know--- you saved my life, think that I should obey your arrangements unconditionally, you can do what you want me to do, I can't have my own ideas." You say, am I right, did I say what is in your heart?"

"Mud baby, good brother......" Qiao Shuangxi squatted down, trying to pull the mud baby up.

"Don't, don't say that, who is your good brother? Of course, we don't dare to call you brothers, what identity and status do we have, what identity and status do you have, my heart is bright, I have self-knowledge, and I have never had the idea of climbing. The mud baby kept dodging, not letting Qiao Shuangxi's hands touch him at all.

"Get up!" Qiao Shuangxi put a cold ass on his hot face, but he didn't get any effect, so he stood up, his attitude and tone became much tougher, and he scolded angrily, "How old are you, you really think of yourself as a three-year-old child, coaxing you will be over, there are a lot of good words, and there is no end." You think you're scaring me by sitting here, I don't dare to do anything to you, right, I won't eat your set, hurry up and get me up, I have to hurry!"

"Am I not clear?" the mud baby still sat on the ground, and said coldly, "You rush your way, am I blocking you or pulling you? ”

Faced with this situation, Qiao Shuangxi didn't know what to say, so he had to take a deep breath, but seeing that Qiao Xiaojing had already walked away, he hurriedly ran over to her to seek countermeasures.

"I was completely conquered by the mud baby," Qiao Shuangxi caught up with Qiao Xiaojing, and helplessly spread his arms and said: "This mud baby not only has a strange temperament, but also is very tough, which can be described as extremely strong." I didn't say a word right, okay, I sat directly on the ground, said nothing and didn't move anymore, and said good things over and over again, it's really soft and hard not to eat, oil and salt not to enter!"

"What did you say?" Qiao Xiaojing stopped, and although she looked at Qiao Shuangxi, she didn't listen to him at all.

"I mean," Qiao Shuangxi paused, raised his voice and said to Qiao Xiaojing, "That mud baby is sick, and she won't leave if she sits there." ”

"What is it?"

"Sickness. Qiao Shuangxi shook his head, and then added, "Stronger than a cow, I have never seen this kind of person." ”

Qiao Xiaojing didn't say anything more, turned around and walked back, and walked to the mud baby, she didn't persuade the mud baby, to be precise, she just sat next to the mud baby, didn't say anything, her eyes stared ahead, and she saw a faint distant mountain and a quiet river.

"Sister Xiaojing," about a quarter of an hour later, the mud baby first lost his breath, and he said lightly, "Aren't you already gone, why are you back again?"

"There are so many things waiting for me, how can I not hurry up? But if you don't go, how can I leave you alone?"

"I, I'm not the same as before, I'm a person who has committed an unforgivable sin, and if I go with you, I'll cause you trouble. I know that without you, I may be like the Qiao family ancestral hall, a puddle of ashes, I can't repay you for saving your life now, I can only thank you from the bottom of my heart, I hope I have the ability to repay it in the future! ”

"As I said, if you don't leave, I will never leave. ”

"But ......"

"But what?"

"After all, I am different from you, I am a sinner, I bear the infamy of killing my mother, even if you have no prejudice or hostility towards me, it does not mean that others will be like you. Therefore, I don't want others to look at me like criminals. ”

"It's purely psychological, the guilt makes you feel that people all over the world are despising and hostile to you, but you also know how many people know you, except for the villagers of Qiaojia Village, let alone far, even in Hedong Village, I don't think anyone will necessarily know about your mud baby, right?! Indeed, you have committed an unforgivable sin, but why should I still find a way to keep your life and take you away? That's because in my heart you are not a bad guy, and you will not kill people, let alone kill your own mother. ”

"But the problem is that I have already killed my own mother, this is an ironclad fact, and no one can change it. ”

"That's exactly what I'm going to say," Qiao Xiaojing patted the mud baby's shoulder and said in a calm tone, "Why did such a thing happen to a person who couldn't kill someone no matter how you look at it, but also killed someone closest to him?" Normally, people like to talk about the results of their opinions, so that the first thing is to be safe, after all, the result is in front of you, to avoid the embarrassment of misjudgment, and at the same time to show the kind of predictability that exudes wisdom, however, many times, many things, the result is not the way it came out as expected. To put it simply, you did kill someone, and this is the result, but it is not that you are a murderer at heart, and if you were not stimulated at that time, maybe you just hated for a while, and the hatred disappeared, how could you become a murderer? Therefore, it is not you who is hateful, but the person who induces you to kill. ”

"You think so?"

"I've already brought you out, and I already think you're my brother in my heart, so how can I, as a sister, deceive you? Besides, if I deceive you, what's in it for me?"

"With a sister like you, I, I'm really happy. Since you have said so, then I, as a younger brother, can't be too ignorant, don't worry, whatever you say in the future will be whatever you say, and I will never bargain. But whenever my sister is useful to me, even if I am told, my brother and I will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire. The mud baby stood in front of Qiao Xiaojing in an orderly manner.

"Let's go, let's talk as we go. Qiao Xiaojing stroked the mud baby's head.

"Cheng Cheng is against me. Qiao Shuangxi, who was standing on the side, saw that the mud baby was well-behaved and obedient, so he muttered to himself.

"What?" the mud baby stopped and turned to stare at Qiao Shuangxi.

"I dare to do anything to you, as long as you don't embarrass me, I'll be Amitabha. Qiao Shuangxi had already learned this weird-tempered little guy and didn't want to provoke him again.

"You're not like a child, you're more like an adult. Qiao Xiaojing suddenly said this to the mud baby on the road.

"I'm not a child per se, it's just that they treat me like a child. "The mud baby is very proud.

"I think about it too much, I mean you speak, you talk like an adult, an adult like us, and you can't speak at every turn, and the idioms are also very good, haven't you read a book?"

"You know the situation at home, my mother and I depend on each other, and we suffer more and suffer more than other children of the same age, so I may look like an adult. There is no serious reading, but I have heard a lot of villain books from the children in the village. ”

"No wonder!" Qiao Xiaojing nodded.

"At that time, you said that there were a lot of big things to do, what is the big thing, can I help you?"

"What's the big deal? It's hard to say, but I'm sure you'll be able to help me. ”

Hearing this, the mud baby was very happy, and it seemed that she was about to jump up when she walked, but Qiao Xiaojing took a deep breath, and then fell into silence, as if she was in a heavy mood.
