After hearing Wu Yan's words, the expression on his father's face changed greatly, and finally he picked up the hoe, and then carried the back clip with the old man, and said, "Go, go home." ”

"Don't bury grandpa?" Wu Yan followed behind him, smiling and asking.

The father said without looking back: "Only the dead can be buried, and the living cannot." ”

"Oh, okay then." Wu Yan said indifferently, the reason why she said this was just because the old man gave her a jade pendant, and since the old man gave her something, then she should save the old man's life.

After knowing that he didn't have to be buried alive, the old man still didn't speak, but the tears on his face kept falling silently on the way back.

This is a small village, the people in the village live on a little land and hunting, so they are not rich, and Wu Yan's original family is even more impoverished because of the old man's illness and his father's gambling, and can only barely survive.

After the father carried back the old man, he didn't eat, and went out to drink and gamble, ignoring all the family affairs.

After the mother served the old man properly, she pulled Wu Yan into the room, closed the door, and then hugged Wu Yan, trembling all over.

Wu Yan raised her hand a little unaccustomedly, but finally did not push away the woman who was holding her, because she knew that this woman was very scared now.

She had no choice but to let the woman hold her with a blank face.

After the mood stabilized, the mother raised her body and looked at Wu Yan, her eyes were full of fear, she stared at Wu Yan's eyes, her face was serious, and her voice was hoarse: "Ermu, you must not let your father know that you are a girl, understand?" Otherwise I don't know what he would have done. ”

That's right, the reason why her original name is Zhao Mu is because she has always been raised as a boy, and only her mother knows her true identity in the family.

Why did her mother do this?

In fact, she is the third in the family, so why is she called Ermu and not Sanmu? Because her previous sister had been sold into the Qinglou by her father, her sister was only three or four years old at that time, and a lifetime of tragedy was already doomed.

After giving birth to her, her mother was afraid that her father would be unfavorable to her, so she lied that she was a boy.

The father has always been indifferent to the affairs of the family, and it is impossible to help take care of the children, so he did not find out her true gender.

Wu Yan pretended to be innocent, nodded seriously, and according to the original owner's original character, he said thoughtfully: "Don't worry, mother, I won't take off my pants outside." ”

This is also what the original mother has always told.

"Okay, okay, I'll cook, you play alone for a while." Mother touched Wu Yan's head, then got up and said.

As she got up, she accidentally saw a bruise on her mother's wrist, she grabbed her mother's sleeve and asked, "Mother, what's the matter with you here?" ”

"Oh, I accidentally fell, don't worry, it won't be fine in a few days." The mother tugged at her sleeve to cover the bruises.

Wu Yan could tell at a glance that the woman was lying, but she still nodded innocently, "Then mother should be careful in the future." ”

"Well, I'll be careful." A wry smile flashed on her face, and her mother said, "I'm going to cook." ”

Looking at the back of the woman leaving, a hint of mockery flashed in Wu Yan's eyes.

From the memories of the original owner, it was not difficult for her to guess what had happened.

The mother of the original owner was three months pregnant, and she walked carefully, so how could she say that she would fall?

It must have been because his father wanted to carry his grandfather out and bury him alive, and his kind-hearted mother wanted to stop it, and finally he was pushed to the ground, or knocked to the ground, anyway, it was all done by the inhumane father.

In fact, the drunk father often beat the mother, which is already a commonplace thing in the memory of the original owner.

The original owner said that she wanted her to take care of her mother, but with the existence of such a father, how could she take care of it?

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Wu Yan's eyes, it seemed that if you wanted this home to be peaceful, you had to make someone disappear forever.

Now, though, is not the time.

Wu Yan walked out of the door calmly, originally planning to go to his grandfather's house to ask about what he wanted to ask, but he didn't expect to be stopped halfway.

A straightforward voice sounded above his head, "Ermu, tell me honestly, did my mother secretly get you delicious food again?" I just saw you two sneaking into the house, so be honest and hand over the sugar! ”

Wu Yan looked up and saw that it was the original owner's sister, Zhao Ya.

If you want to say that this sister really has some skills, she uses both sides and three knives perfectly. In front of adults, she is always a well-behaved and sensible, quiet girl who can talk, but in private she is another face.

Also, if she wasn't clever and likable, I'm afraid she would have been sold like that unlucky sister a long time ago.

"I don't have sugar." Wu Yan didn't want to talk to her more, and wanted to leave after he finished talking.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ya directly pushed Wu Yan and said, "Who believes it!" The whole family is partial to you, and they must have opened a small stove for you! ”

Seven or eight-year-old Zhao Ya already has some strength, how can the current witch be able to resist?

She was directly pushed to the ground, and her palm was worn by the stones on the ground, and there was a slight pain.

Wu Yan's eyes flashed fiercely, the person who dared to treat her like this before had long since died, and this time she was pushed to the ground in a daze without defense.

But in this situation, it is not the time for revenge, it is better to send this annoying sister first.

Thinking of this, Wu Yan closed his eyes and lay directly on the ground, crying loudly.

The mother, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard Wu Yan's cry and immediately walked out and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhao Ya didn't expect Wu Yan to cry loudly suddenly, after she bullied her younger brother before, he wouldn't cry, at most he was stupid and secretly shed tears, this time it was suddenly like this, which caught her a little off guard.

But soon she calmed down, and before her mother came over, she immediately got up and helped Wu Yan up, and said with concern on her face: "Brother, have you fallen somewhere?" ”
