"Bitter, this life is very hard, and it also makes people miserable." Liu Meilan complained.

I don't know why, she always feels that her pressure is really great, this kind of pressure is the kind that can kill her invisibly. It grabbed the back of Liu Meilan's neck, no matter how much she struggled to resist, it was to no avail.

It's not temporary, it's not indirect, it just makes Liu Meilan feel it clearly, let her experience the kind of collapse that is manipulated, tricked, teased and helpless like a toy.

No one told Liu Meilan what she should do next and how to do it. She can only rely on her ignorance to run like a fool. Find a way that truly belongs to her. And what can she face? What is that kind of road? What's at the end? Liu Meilan stared blankly ahead.

If there is really a choice of that path, then Liu Meilan thinks first, it should be a road that belongs to freedom, a one that can control one's own destiny, is not disturbed by the outside world, and does not need to scruple about everything.

"Liu Meilan! What are you doing sitting there! ”

Xu Dang suddenly roared, and Liu Meilan's whole person was frightened by his voice. She looked up and saw Xu Dang staring straight at her.

He crossed his hands on his hips, huh...... Something indescribable, afraid?

"Didn't they all say they were leaving, why are they still here?" Liu Meilan complained in a low voice, but she was more puzzled, Xu Dang didn't leave, why is this.

She got up and patted her clothes, although she was a little unhappy in her heart, but she knew that Xu Dang said this for her own good.

Liu Meilan glanced at Xu Dang, and obediently walked to the stone she was sitting on and sat down.

Xu Dang took a deep breath, in fact, he had already reached the halfway point just now, but he still didn't worry about letting Liu Meilan be here alone. I was stunned to turn back halfway to see how she was.

Now that he had turned back, he suddenly felt so angry that he couldn't do it. Looking at it again, Liu Meilan is now turning his back to him, and he doesn't ask him what he is doing when he comes back, Xu Dang walked directly behind Liu Meilan and patted Liu Meilan on the head with a palm.

"Shhh...... What are you hitting me for", Liu Meilan covered her head and leaned over to look at him.

Xu Dang's attack on Liu Meilan was not particularly heavy, but Liu Meilan grasped this point.

"I," Xu Dang didn't know what to say at the moment, yes, what was he beating her for. He can't tell Liu Meilan that he patted her on the head because he didn't have much presence in front of her, this is too, it sounds like a child.

"Beat you to make you remember for a long time, you remember, don't just sit on the ground in the future. The girl's family should take care of their body, and you will be good if you are cold. ”

Xu Dang suddenly found a particularly suitable reason for himself, Liu Meilan was stunned at first, this person can also heal. But in the next second, she dispelled this idea. If Xu Dang knew medical skills, why didn't he treat people, but went out to hunt every day to subsidize his family.

"What? You don't believe it? Xu Dang asked.

Liu Meilan turned around, "I know, I won't sit on the ground again in the future, promise you, okay." ”

Liu Meilan casually held the snow next to her buttocks in her hand, which made her hands, which were not particularly warm, freeze all of a sudden.

Liu Meilan sniffed, opened her palm, and the snow in her palm melted a little, "My mother, are you still crying?" Liu Meilan asked with some hesitation.

"I don't know, I'm halfway there and I'll be back. You're here alone, it's cold. Hurry back, I'll send you. Xu Dang said it again, he knew that Liu Meilan was still angry and might lose his temper with himself again, but he still wanted to persuade him again.

"Uncle Xu, I'm sorry, I just lost my temper at you, how offended." Liu Meilan muttered, she lowered her head, and at first glance she looked like she was admitting her mistake.

"Poof, where did anyone make such amends. Liu Meilan, if you don't go back, can you tell me why? You don't have a good relationship with your father, and you don't have a good relationship with your mother. So how did you come over at home for so many years, I think all the work is done by you, could it be that you are not their own child? ”

Xu Dang said as he walked in front of Liu Meilan. He stopped in front of Liu Meilan, Liu Meilan didn't dare to look at him, and kept staring at the piece of land at his feet.

"You don't want to tell me this, I still don't know how to say it." Xu Dang lowered his voice very low, sounding very gentle.

"You don't say this like a fugitive." Liu Meilan said bluntly, Xu Dang raised his eyebrows, "Not like a fugitive?" That's like something. ”

Liu Meilan thought for a while, and Xu Dang was also very patient and waited to listen to her explanation.

It didn't take long for Liu Meilan to speak, "Like the brother next door, a very good kind." ”

"Who do you learn to praise people, so good at talking?" Xu Dang likes her sentence very much, this metaphor is very good, isn't it.

"You're like this, what do I learn." Liu Meilan raised her hand and scratched the back of her head, the episode has passed, now it is the question Xu Dang just now, this answer is somewhat brain-burning.

"I didn't expect me to have such a good image in your eyes. I thought I was very vicious in your heart. Xu Dang was very satisfied with Liu Meilan's words, well, very useful.

"It's not impossible to be vicious, but the main thing is that you are not."

"The one you just asked me about. I didn't go back because I couldn't talk to my mother. She was very verbose, and I didn't like to hear any of what she said. I can't even turn a blind eye to me, I just don't want to hear what she says to me. As soon as she spoke, I felt my head hurt. Liu Meilan explained.

Xu Dang frowned, he was a little curious now, what was her mother talking to her all day long.

"It's not that I don't have a bad relationship with her, I just don't want to hear it. She just, she couldn't speak, and I felt like I was at home and I was uncomfortable. When it comes out, it can be better. At home, I feel like I can't breathe, I'm stuffy. ”

The more Liu Meilan spoke, the more annoyed she became, so she simply didn't continue to explain, at this point, Xu Dang should be able to guess something.

"What is it for, I seem to have heard you say that you asked your mother to sue you."

Xu Dang remembered that he was asleep at his house when he heard a loud noise from Liu Meilan's house. scared away the Zhou Gong in his dream, when he opened his eyes and walked to the door in a daze, he heard what Liu Meilan said to sue her, and then ran out of the door without looking back.

Suning didn't follow and chased after him, Xu Dang thought that the mother and daughter had some conflict.

"It's because of last night, just my father's matter", Liu Meilan said, "You said about your father last night", Xu Dang probably understood a little, but thinking about it, he was confused again.

"No, what does your father's business have to do with you. Did you say something you shouldn't have said last night, I remember I asked you before you went back, and I didn't think about how to tell your mother. What did you tell your mother when you went back? ”

"When I went back, I didn't say anything. I followed her words and said that my father would not be back tonight. As soon as I woke up this morning, she asked me if I had seen my father. He also said that many people gathered around to see what sheep had died, and asked me if I was going. I didn't say yes, and then she asked me if I had killed my father. Liu Meilan's explanation made Xu Dang a little difficult.

Liu Meilan didn't say anything, why could Suning insist that it was Liu Meilan who killed Liu Wu. It shouldn't be, could it be that last night, Suning came out with Liu Meilan.

He pondered it. It's not right, if Liu Meilan is still following behind him, then it is impossible for him not to notice it. Last night, apart from him and Liu Meilan, there could not have been a living person.

"That's weird, doesn't your mother still know how to tell fortunes?"

"Fortune telling? Fortune tellers live very clearly. ”

Liu Meilan believes that people who know fortune telling can see things more thoroughly and live more clearly than anything. They will definitely not do foolish things, if Suning knew how to tell fortunes, I am afraid it would not be like this.

"I'm thinking about one thing right now, what should I do if my mother really goes to sue." Liu Meilan pondered for a while, "If she implicates you at that time, you must put all the blame on me." ”

"What did you say?" Xu Dang thought he had heard it wrong, so he asked again.

Liu Meilan didn't get tired of it, "I said, when the time comes, you will put all the sins on me." Dump yourself off, and if they ask anything, you will say that you are threatened by me. Whatever they say, you just say I designed everything. ”

"You doll is not afraid of death, you know how much you have to pay to do this."

Xu Dang really wanted to pry Liu Meilan's head open now to see what was inside. He likes Liu Meilan's brave character who is not afraid of anything, but he can't be dead.

It's not like he's not been to the prison cell, it's really not for people to stay. People at his age can't stand it, let alone Liu Meilan.

"I know, but I don't want to bother you. Why are you like this, give you a way to live, you don't want it, how can there be someone like you. ”

Liu Meilan has never seen the cell since she was a child, although she doesn't know what it is, but the soldiers will cover it up. It's a big deal that she will die in it, anyway, she has a cheap life, whether it is the same or not.

"What do you call me a person, what do you mean by me, you see what you say, child. Do you just care so little about your life? ”

Xu Dang suddenly became a little irritable, how could Liu Meilan, a child, love to push herself into the fire pit.

"I'm a cheap life, and I'm not worth much. You've helped me, what else can I make you suffer. ”

Liu Meilan felt that she was doing things by herself, and it was she who asked Xu to do it last night, which was a fact that no one could distort. Then the result, of course, has to be borne by her.

If she makes Xu Dang responsible, then what will she become.

"Cheap? Child, where would anyone say that about themselves? Xu Dang teased.

"Uncle Xu, you don't know. I should have been a child who died in my mother's womb since I was a child, but God looked me unpleasantly, and he insisted on letting me go through this world. ”

Xu Dang couldn't take any words anymore, Liu Meilan was mature, more mature than other children of the same age as her. is so mature that it makes people look pitiful, and it makes people speechless.

The biting cold wind was blowing, and it didn't take long for the first snowflakes of the day to fall on Liu Meilan's head. Liu Meilan couldn't help coughing a few times, she hugged herself, shivering.

"Look at it, they're all cold. Come back with me. Xu Dang urged, it was morning, and it was not as good as noon. Without a sun, this little girl must be coldly killed.

Liu Meilan sniffed, still shaking her head, she didn't want to go home. I used to turn a blind eye, but now I can't. As Suning said, she did kill someone. She hadn't lied much, she was afraid that Suning would know.

Xu Dang was a little unstoppable, and when he went out today, he didn't wear much. Now it's extremely cold, he is afraid that something will happen to Liu Meilan here, and now he finally has someone who can talk to him as a companion.

"Why don't you go back, are you afraid that your mother will sue you? Or are you afraid of your mother's nagging? ”

Liu Meilan shook her head, she didn't know why. She is not afraid of death now, and it doesn't matter if she is killed, but she just doesn't dare to go back now. Suning can be said to be her only relative, if she can really do something to Liu Meilan, then,

Xu Dang, who didn't wait for a reply for a long time, was a little angry, isn't this kid too cold, this kid, "If you don't want to go back, then go to my house, that's all right." ”

After Xu Dang finished speaking, Liu Meilan raised her head and looked at him. "Aren't you on death row? Why is it so good for me. ”

"Me? I'm a nosy person, what's wrong. Hurry up, don't stay. ”

Liu Meilan got up, and Xu Dang walked in front of Liu Meilan first. The two went home together, and when the two walked to the door, Liu Meilan suddenly went in the direction of her home.

Xu Dang didn't say anything, just go back. As for what Liu Meilan just said, Xu Dang felt that this was actually not a big deal. Chong Liu Meilan is good for herself, and if it's a big deal, she will carry another life on her shoulders, and she will already be a prisoner anyway.

Liu Meilan walked into her small yard, and there was already a thin snowflake floating on the freshly chopped firewood. The axe for chopping wood was also on the ground, where he threw it.

"Alas"

Liu Meilan let out a long sigh and picked up the axe. She continued to chop firewood, and when there was a lot of firewood, she picked up some of it and went home. Her hands were frozen hard, and her hands were basically on top of her clothes, because she didn't dare to really hold the firewood.

On her arm, she could clearly feel that the firewood was relatively prickly. If you really use your hands, you won't bleed or anything.

She opened the door and walked in, and saw Suning kneeling alone in front of the Buddha statue. She held a rosary in her hand, and her mouth was slurred, and she didn't know what she was reciting.

Liu Meilan didn't want to disturb her, so she walked to the stove by herself and lit the stove with her hands.

Her every movement was very light, for fear of disturbing Suning. And Suning, when Liu Meilan entered the door, she had already opened her eyes.

"Lan'er, where have you been?"

Suning asked, Liu Meilan froze and explained, "Oh, I heard Uncle Li say that he wanted to take me out to listen to the play." I just went to the bottom of the mountain to find him, have you eaten, what do you want to eat? ”

"Mother can eat anything, Lan'er, can you tell your mother, where did you go last night? All you have to say is that your mother will protect you. ”

Liu Meilan didn't speak, and began to habitually pretend to be dumb. Suning got up and hurriedly walked to Liu Meilan's side with small steps. "You tell your mother, where did you go last night, did you kill your father? You tell your mother, and your mother will protect you. ”

"No, mother, you don't want to think about how big my father is. Even if I kill him, then how did I kill him. Does my mother think that I pushed my father to the bottom of the cliff in front of our house? ”

"On the road, on the road." Suning pulled Liu Meilan up and pinched her arms on both sides with both hands, "It's on the road, it's not the blood of the sheep, it's your father's blood." My mother saw your father lying under the cliff this morning. ”

Liu Meilan frowned, see? What does Suning say now, could it be that this morning, she went out to find Liu Wu?

"What if your two uncles know about this? None of them are officials, and if they are ordered to be investigated, what will they do? Child, tell your mother if you killed your father. ”

Suning shook her body, and Liu Meilan didn't know what to say at all. Liu Meilan was puzzled, what was Suning's situation now, and why her words sounded like she was really trying to protect her.

"Speak, you speak, child." Suning said, Liu Meilan still didn't speak. She didn't know if what Suning said now was worth her believing.

"You said, even if you kill your father, as long as you open your mouth, your mother will run away with you. The world is big, and there is always a place for our mothers. You tell your mother. ”

Suning is very eager, and even every cell is exerting. She was determined, but she looked scared. Her body was shaking, very shaky.

Liu Meilan pursed her lips and bit a little of the flesh of her lower lip between her teeth. The pain spread in an instant, and it immediately made her sober up a lot. Forget it, it's so true, even if it's a lie, Liu Meilan admits it.

"Yes, I killed my father, and I dragged him to the bottom of the cliff to feed the wolves."

Liu Meilan didn't bring Xu Dang with her in a word, she stared at Suning's face, and she didn't even let go of a single glance from her.

Suning nodded, his nose was sour, and his eyes became red again. She turned her face away and looked at the idol beside her. "Even if it's a bodhisattva now, it's hard to protect, the Liu family, the Liu family won't let me go."

She let go of Liu Meilan's arm, walked to the Buddha statue step by step and knelt down. She clasped her hands together, "In my life, I have never done anything harmful." ”

Tears flowed from her eyes, down her face, and onto her clothes. The clothes soon became wet, "Bodhisattva, I don't know how to ask for it today." ”

She choked up, and it was hard to speak. Her tears flowed slowly like a spring.
