Bad things happened one after another, and it seemed like they were going to swallow up the house.

Duoduo was sick and kept calling his little uncle in his sleep. Duoduo's mother ran outside and inside, changing Duoduo's ice handkerchief over and over again, wiping Duoduo's hot cheeks and wetting her eyes. Shi Lei went door-to-door to borrow money, Xiaoyun went to the neighboring village to find Langzhong, and when the sky was bright, the two finally came back.

"This is spasms, the child's body is too bad, it is not easy to survive all night. The medicine I prescribed was violent, and I don't know if the child can stand it, but there is no way, and the spasms are sloppy. ”

The flowers burned for three days, and Xiaoyun knelt outside the hospital and prayed for three days.

Later, Duoduo's mother recovered part of her memory and knew who she was, and her family came to look for her and wanted to leave.

On that day, the woman put on the clothes she wore when she came, her hair was meticulously combed, and she wore a goose yellow velvet flower on her sideburns, sitting at the table and looking at Shi Lei coldly.

"It's not that I'm ruthless, it's not that I can't stand the hardship, the only thing I can't tolerate is that Duoduo has been hungry for a long time and lost her body, all kinds of illnesses have come up, the family has no money left to treat her, the whole face is flushed, hot and hot, struggling in pain at the ghost gate, my heart hurts, I wish I could suffer for her."

Shi Lei twisted his eyebrows, the perennial wind and sun made his face have deep lines, the person sat steadily, but the clenched fist peaked but expressed his panic, for the first time, fear rose in his heart, and the solid back on weekdays bent in an instant.

"Xiaoyun, this kid is two years old in ten, and he is old enough to go out and wander. Let me ask you, if you want him or us, you have to make a choice today. ”

The sun shone from east to west, and the two sat silently opposite each other, speechless. Through the low window, Shi Lei looked at the clear blue sky for a long time, and the corners of his eyes were sour and moist.

Xiaoyun hid behind the door, tears rolling in his eyes, and he pursed his lips tightly.

It turns out that what the book says is not all true, and not everyone can be like a sage with a heart-based heart, so that they can turn into good fortune and help the world together. Even if ordinary people try their best, it will be difficult for them to settle down. Since he was born poor, his rations are difficult to continue, let alone study, how dare he hope to bless his relatives with this.

Shi Yun, you are confused.

When the woman walked out of the door with Duoduo in her arms, Xiaoyun instinctively grabbed her sleeve, looked at her little black hand at the white shirt, and immediately loosened her strength, her head hung lower, and her dry lips pursed for a long time, "I won't go to the school from tomorrow, I will support this family with my brother..."

Please, please don't go...

The woman's gaze paused on Xiaoyun for a short time, leaving only one sentence, you and I are not destined to be a family, and then threw up her sleeves and left.

Looking at the fading back, Xiao Yun picked at the nails of the wooden door and squeezed into the debris in an instant, oozing blood spots.

After that, the days returned to the way they were before the woman came, and even more depressed.

"Leizi! Leizi! Your brother has been seen carrying harpoons and nets and heading out to the depths of the sea on an abandoned raft by the sea! He hasn't been to sea before, so there's nothing going on, so go and see! ”

It was still golden sunshine, cloudless, but now it was full of clouds, and the wind set off huge waves to hit the fragile raft, Xiaoyun almost tumbled into the sea, his thin body clinged to the raft, his right hand clung to the harpoon, and the fishing net was put on the shoulder on the other side, and it rose violently with the waves.

Another big wave struck, the raft sank, Xiaoyun choked a few mouthfuls of seawater, and his chest rose and fell violently. The raft had drifted too far from the shore, and the dark sea water kept attacking and surrounding, Xiaoyun's physical strength was gradually exhausted, and he felt cold all over, and his consciousness was a little blurred, and he seemed to see his brother's figure in the slits of his eyes.

My brother tried his best for him and gave up a lot, but he couldn't share anything for his brother, and he always increased his burden.

If so, just die.

Maybe my brother will be better......

"Xiaoyun! Little cloud! A large hand lifted the boy's thin body and placed it on the sturdy plank.

The wind was still raging violently, and the raft had been swept away by the waves, and there was no trace of it.

Xiao Yun's face turned pale, and he lifted his eyelids with some effort, the gray cloth sail whirled, and Shi Lei was laboriously controlling the swaying mast.

......As soon as he opened his mouth, Xiao Yun felt a salty and slightly tingling pain in his throat.

"Xiaoyun, don't be afraid, my brother is here."

"The wind is a bit strong at this time, you hold on to the handrails on both sides, and when the waves subside, we can sail home."

Xiao Yun pursed her lips tightly, suppressed the thousand words in her heart, and secretly annoyed.

The power of the sea is too huge, no matter how hard Xiaoyun grips the plank, the next second he will always be forced to let go by the rising waves.

Wave after wave of waves swept and surged, the hull of the ship shook violently, Shi Lei's strong arms and green tendons protruded, his expression was solemn, his eyes were locked on the direction of the shore, the sky backfired, and the ship went farther and farther away from the shore.

A loud bang smashed into his ears, and then a big wave lifted the boat to the sky, both of them fell heavily into the sea, the sea choked, Xiaoyun instinctively grabbed the surroundings, a pair of powerful hands lifted him out of the sea, and brought it to the board of the boat with a sudden force.

"Brother! Elder brother! Grab my hand! Xiao Yun struggled to get up and lie on the side of the boat, and stretched out one hand to Shi Lei, who was still floating up and down in the sea, with an eager look.

Seeing that the fingertips of the two were about to touch, a wave surged and instantly widened the distance between them.

"Brother——! Xiaoyun cried and looked at Shi Lei, who had not entered the sea, and hurriedly got up and pulled the sails, the storm hit again, and his weak body slammed into the plank, in a panic, he grabbed the rope on the boat, and his eyes lit with hope.

"Brother! Elder brother! Can you hear me! You hold on! We're going home together! ”

"Brother——! Brother ——! Brother ——! ”

The water and sky are colorful, deep and terrifying, and the waves are like demonic minions, playing with the boat.

"Where are you... You answer me......" Xiaoyun looked around, hoarse, and his eyes were full of helplessness.

Xu is call worked, Shi Lei finally poked his head out, he took a moment of respite and tried his best to swim towards the boat, Xiao Yun threw out the rope with all his strength, and the other end was firmly tied to the bottom of the mast, seeing Shi Lei grab the rope and wrap it around his waist, Xiao Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The waves suddenly receded, the wind gradually subsided, and everything was strangely calm, Shi Lei didn't dare to think deeply, and accelerated the speed of progress.

Shi Lei was less than two meters away from the hull of the ship, Xiaoyun cried with joy, stretched out his hand to help him, suddenly, a behemoth surfaced, it opened its bloody mouth, and the bright fangs shook the hearts of the people, and bit Shi Lei's waist firmly, dragging it to the whirlpool in the distance.

Everything happened too fast, Xiao Yun still had a smile on his face, but there was deep fear and despair in his eyes.

"Brother——! Xiao Yun's pupils suddenly contracted, and he stubbornly held on to the rope that was quickly withdrawn, and the boat was vigorously dragged towards the surging whirlpool, and the huge air flow pressed Xiao Yun to breathe.

The sea is dark, and the sea monsters are huge.

Xiaoyun watched his brother sinking into the sea little by little, tears blurred his vision, and he fell straight backwards in a heart-rending manner.

The rope is broken.

"I've had nightmares ever since."

The man looked slyly from side to side and swallowed.

"I feel... My brother has been following me. ”

The woman at the bow of the boat was fluttering, and she couldn't see her expression clearly under the ink umbrella, but she only felt a sense of coldness.

"I was terrified, I didn't mean to." The wrinkles on the man's face were mixed with a hint of crampedness, "If, if I don't cut the rope, my brother and I will both die in the deep sea." ”

"It's always good to live a life." The man tightened his collar uneasily, and looked around again.

"It's just almost... Just a little—" the man muttered, his eyes red.

A slight sigh came from the nose of the woman in Tsing Yi, as if it were nothing.

"Later."

"Later..."

The storm subsided.

Xiao Yun lay straight on the board, his eyes were out of focus, muttering to himself, still clutching the broken rope in his hand, so hard. Floating on the sea for a few moments, the sky gradually became lighter, there were people from the same village calling for boats, the clouds and mist dispersed, the sun carrying hope rose, the bright beam of light lifted the clouds and scattered to all things, sprinkled to the sparkling waves, but no light could shine into the hollow heart of the small clouds.

He dragged his tired body sluggishly on the way home, the neighbors all cast sympathetic attention, acquaintances followed him without saying a word carrying fishing gear, usually such a short road, it seems that there are thousands of difficulties, how to go no end.

"Xiaoyun, there are some things that no one can predict, and the days still have to go on..."A young man walked two steps quickly and followed his side.

"Ah Yun, if there is any difficulty in the future, just open your mouth, everyone is in the same village, and we should help each other."

"Xiaoyun, tomorrow I will help you take leave from your husband, and you can rest for two days."

"The food of the past few days is wrapped on me, the cloud cakes made by my aunt are crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside, and the sea vegetables are also very fragrant, eat to ensure that most of your troubles fade——"

"Roots!" Ah Chu on the side scolded.

Gensheng realized that he had said the wrong thing, twisted himself, lowered his head a little apologetically, and said, "My mouth is too stupid, I don't mean that..."

The familiar fence came into view, and in just one day, the weeds were as high as the threshold, and they were in decline.

"Thank you, I'm fine." Xiao Yun turned his back to them and said softly.

The wind brought up pieces of grass, and the young man stood in it, thin and spine, weak and unclothed.

Gen Sheng wanted to say something and wanted to take a step forward, but Ah Chu grabbed his arm, and there was a slight redness where his strength reached, and Gen Sheng pursed his lips a little aggrieved.
