His tears poured down his face, but he didn't say a word the whole time.

Yao Nian also waited patiently for him to finish venting.

After a while, he reached out and tugged at the hem of Yao Nian's clothes, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Aunt Yao, I want to ask a question, just a question, can you tell me?" ”

Yao Nian reached out and touched his head, and said gently, "Ask, my mother must tell Sibao truthfully." ”

"Is my mother dead?"

Asking this, Liu Xin clenched his fists, biting his lip tightly, waiting for Yao Nian's answer, as if he was ready.

Yao Nian was silent, and the hand on his head paused violently.

Thinking of Liu Hulian's appearance before she died, Yao Nian's heart was panting with pain, and she didn't know how to explain to Sibao that his mother was gone.

She didn't even think of Liu Hulian, just as she really made it up, with her husband, and she was still living happily.

"She's dead, isn't she?" Liu Xin's whimpering could no longer be hidden, and his low and forbearant cry sounded like a knife in Yao Nian's ears.

Yao Nian looked up at the sky, forced back the tears in his eyes, and then hugged him and smiled, "What nonsense?" Didn't I tell you, did your mother go to find your father? When you grow up and have a chance, your mother will come back with your father. ”

"Don't lie to me!" He yelled excitedly, pushed Yao Nian away with a red face, and cried and shouted, "She is dead, the aunts in the village have told me, my mother died, she died to save you, and you killed my mother!" ”

He shouted hysterically.

Yao Nian was stunned, and the blood on his face faded in an instant.

How would he know?

Liu Xin looked at her, there was obvious hatred in his eyes, he was hating himself, hating himself for killing Liu Hulian and his only relative.

Yao Nian opened his mouth, wanting to explain something, but found that there was no way to explain it, Liu Hulian did die to save her, and it can be regarded as her death.

"I'm sorry." Yao Nian's eyes were red, and when it came to his mouth, he could only apologize.

Liu Xin's eyes turned even redder, tears kept falling, he looked at Yao Nian, his little chest kept rising and falling, "You say I'm sorry for my mother now and won't come back, you killed my mother, I won't forgive you." ”

Yao Nian lowered his eyes, his eyes were astringent, "I know, but Sibao, I promised your mother that she would take good care of you, you can hate me and scold me, but don't leave my side, okay?" ”

"Do you want to trap me for the rest of my life?" Like a little adult, he complained, "When I grow up, I want to take the top prize, my mother said that she wants me to take the top prize, how can I take the top exam if you are trapped in me?" ”

He was about to cry again as he spoke, "You killed my mother, even if I get admitted to the top prize, my mother won't see it, it's all your fault, I hate you, I hate you!" ”

Yao Nian's heart was tingling, she stepped forward and hugged Liu Xin, and promised in a difficult and bitter tone, "Sibao, rest assured, my mother will definitely let you take the top prize, and my mother will definitely let you be admitted to the top prize." ”

"You're not my mother! You're not my mother! ”

"Okay, Aunt Yao will definitely let you be admitted to the champion, Sibao rest assured, when Sibao is admitted to the champion, Aunt Yao will take Sibao back to see Sibao's mother, okay?" Yao Nian said bitterly.

The whining in his arms gradually lost his voice, Yao Nian looked down and saw that his face was full of tears, and he was already tired of crying and fell asleep.

Yao Nian wiped his tears, the sting in her heart became stronger and stronger, she had to fulfill her last wish for Sister Liu, let Liu Xin be admitted to the top prize, and move Sister Liu's grave back openly.

Firm in his heart, Yao Nian let out a breath of turbid air and carried the person back to the tent.

Not surprisingly, Yao Nian had a nightmare, in which Liu Hulian was covered in blood, grabbed her neck and asked, why did she make her son cry every night, why did she promise not to take good care of him, Yao Nian couldn't argue, so she could only keep apologizing.

The feeling of suffocation came, and Yao Nian woke up with a big gasp.

It was still dark, and it was drizzling outside.

The four children were sleeping soundly beside him, and Yao Nian saw the tears on Liu Xin's face and reached out to help him wipe them away.

I must have dreamed of my mother, Yao Nian thought.

It was a little uncomfortable in the camp, Yao Nian wrapped up his clothes and walked out.

The cool breeze was gusting outside, and the boredom in Yao Nian's heart was also much more relaxed.

"Why did you wake up so early?" Ouyang Jin's stunned voice suddenly appeared.

Yao Nian looked sideways, he was sitting at the door of the tent, his thighs were open, and his eyes were dark and heavy.

"What are you doing in the doorway without sleeping most of the night?" The corners of Yao Nian's mouth twitched.

Ouyang Jin grabbed his hair and said very irritably, "The smell of fish is so bad that I can't sleep, and I just lay down not long before I heard footsteps outside the tent, I was afraid that someone would steal the fish, so I just couldn't sleep and stood guard at the door." ”

Hearing him talk about stealing fish, Yao Nian's face also became solemn, she walked around Ouyang Jin's tent, and really saw a few chaotic footprints behind the tent.

"I knew that I could hear footsteps, and these hateful and greedy people really wanted to steal our fish!" Ouyang Jin was angry, pinched his waist and swept around, looking at the hazy night, he was about to open his mouth to scold.

Yao Nian stopped him speechlessly, "Don't scold, the four children are still sleeping, you go to sleep first, I'll watch it for a while." ”

As soon as she said it, Ouyang Jin subconsciously yawned, but he said stiffly, "I'm not sleepy!" ”

"Okay, let's go to bed, I'll watch for a while, and you'll see it tomorrow!" Yao Nian pushed him to sleep.

Ouyang Jin really couldn't resist it, and because he was addicted to drowsiness, he couldn't open his sleepy eyes, so he told Yao Nian a few words and went back to the camp to sleep.

Yao Nian sat in his original position, the light rain had stopped, the sky was dark and oppressive, and the faint moon was showing its head.

I owe a lot of debts, making money is a problem, and I think of the household registration that the village chief said that day, it seems that it is time to go to Shuzhou City.

Early the next morning, everyone got up one after another.

The weather has completely cleared, and building a house is on the agenda.

Chen Qian led a team of people who were willing to work for Yao Nian to the lower reaches of the Yuanjiang River to move stones, and the rest of those who were unwilling to work stayed in their respective tents in a daze.

After a night of rain, small white flowers bloomed on the grassland, which are unique to the grassland.

Yao Nian saw those leek flowers, and instantly remembered how to make money, people here like to eat big meat, and they will inevitably get tired after eating for a long time, if there is leek flower sauce to match, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

There will definitely be many people who are willing to buy such a greasy thing, not to mention that leeks don't cost money, and there is no cost, it is completely a net profit.

The more Yao Nian thought about it, the more excited he became, and beckoned the four children to go with Chun Tao to pick leek flowers.
