Putting down the food, she didn't smile and say "it's time to eat" as she used to, and many times she would leave quickly when she brought food, or reached out and tried to touch her head.

But this time she didn't leave immediately, but sat down on the haystack next to her, looking at the bright moon outside the house in a daze.

Many people are like this, preferring to confide in a stranger who meets them in Pingshui rather than revealing half a sentence to their closest people.

At this time, just be a good listener.

Shen Yi was silent, looking like he was working hard.

He could be a perfect listener.

He deliberately slowed down, and the barbecue meat was chewed and swallowed slowly, even so, unconsciously, there were fewer and fewer fragrant barbecue meat in the basin, and the temperature gradually cooled down.

And Qiu Yu next to him was still looking at the moon in a daze.

He turned his head to look, and the two looked at each other and quickly looked away.

In the darkness he heard the other take a deep breath, and the faint words reached her ears, and she asked a question.

"Xuan Li, I heard that you lived in another ethereal world before you came to this world, and in that world, you should know a lot of other contract beasts, right? I don't know if you've ever regretted a thing you've ever done? ”

Shen Yi's ears pricked up and he didn't answer.

Of course, there is an answer to this question, everyone will regret it, it's just big or small, it's not perfect, and when you get something, you will also regret what you lose.

It's a given.

He doesn't have much substance, depth, and tear-jerking stories, and like most people, it's just a bland and boring account to tell.

It's nothing more than the trivial things of life that make people annoying.

I just made up a number in the world, looked at that world in less than a hundred years, and then left.

There are regrets for regrets, but not to the point of heartbreak.

Knowing that Shen Yi couldn't speak, Qiu Yu didn't expect him to be able to answer anything, as he thought, she just needed someone to talk to.

"Do you know, I was born in a village in Yingzhou, Yuguo, that year there was a shortage of soldiers, and the local lord took away all the food from the villagers in order to hand over the soldiers' rations, which led to a famine there, I don't know how I survived, I only know that the people of Dongyin said that we lived by eating grass."

"I vaguely remember that there is such a picture, since I can remember, we arrived in Hengzhou, Daliang, I heard my father and mother say, where we are hungry I can't stand it, so we fled, but on the way to escape, we met a group of soldiers and bandits who occupied the mountain as the king, and we were able to escape, thanks to a chivalrous man who happened to pass by and saved us, but afterwards my father's hands were chopped off, and one of my brother's legs was also eaten, and my mother was injured and fell ill, and has been bedridden for many years......"

Qiu Yu paused, her tone a little choked.

"Later, we followed a man named Liu Dasheng to escape to Renxi Town, Hengzhou, leaving me and my eldest brother with sound hands and feet, I was young at that time, and all the burdens of the family fell on the eldest brother, he went to work for people before dawn during the day, and came back late at night, but my eldest brother is a very cheerful and lively person, like a child, you know?"

It seemed that he was talking about something happy, and Qiu Yu smiled as he spoke, but the smile didn't last long, and it was covered by tears flowing from the corners of his eyes.

Shen Yi's heart sank, this kind of story is often followed by tragedy, and sure enough, what Qiu Yu said next verified this.

"He often bullied me and my second brother, pretending to put us up with a basket to prevent us from standing up, and pretending to be a demon and a monster in the middle of the night to scare us to have fun, at that time I thought he was very annoying, just like a bully who bullies others every day on the street, but the bully bullies bully us, but also bully others, but my eldest brother, he only knows how to bully me and my second brother, and he is like a coward in front of others."

"The second brother has always let me endure him, but I didn't listen, once the eldest brother teased me, accidentally broke me and the second brother used three days to weave a butterfly with rattan, that can be exchanged for a lot of money, at that time I really hated him, I wanted to take revenge on him, I went out in a hurry, crying outside the eldest brother indecent to me......"

"Huh?" Hearing this, Shen Yi was stunned for a second, and couldn't help but turn his head to glance at Qiu Yu.

Tears blurred her eyes, she didn't notice Shen Yi's gaze, and said to herself.

And what happened after that was that the angry people rushed into Qiu Yu's house and beat her eldest brother, but fortunately, the misunderstanding was explained in the end, and her eldest brother was not worried about his life.

As she said, Qiu Yu's eldest brother has always been a cheerful and lively person, and although he became silent after that night, Qiu Yu believed that it would not be long before her eldest brother would return to normal and continue to laugh and play with her and her second brother.

But the matter was far from over, and in the middle of the night, when the young Qiu Yu went to apologize, he only saw the other party who had committed suicide by hanging himself.

The collapse of the only pillar of the pillar is a devastating blow to a family, although in the end, I learned from the second brother that the eldest brother was also bullied by others when he went out to work as a coolie during the day, and he teased them just to relieve the depression in his heart.

But it has already happened, and there is no way to remedy it.

The cold night wind swayed through his corpse, and the shadows cast on the wall by the moonlight swayed, leaving a shadow in her heart that would be indelible for the rest of her life.

People have to live, but Qiu Yu, who is the only one with sound hands and feet, was only seven or eight years old at that time, how could he take on the responsibility of this family?

All she can do is sell herself!

For twenty-five yuan, less than the price of a cow, he became a maid in Tsurumi Mansion.

Speaking of this, Qiu Yu had long been unable to cry, and the whole person crawled on Shen Yi's body and sobbed, tears slicing through the densely arranged scales, taking away some stains.

"I didn't mean to, I didn't think about forcing him to die, really...... Whining...... I'm just confused, I'm sorry...... Sorry ......"

Shen Yi couldn't comfort her.

Cry.

Cry.

It might be better to cry.

I don't know how long she cried, she stopped, wiped a handful of tears, and burst into laughter.

"Xuan Li, thank you for listening to me, I should go back."

She stood up and was about to leave, but stopped after a few steps.

"By the way, I may have to go home to visit my relatives in a few days, and it will be a long time before I come back, you must be obedient in front of Miss, don't be like yesterday...... Did Miss come to you yesterday? You won't ...... her."

Thinking of something impossible, Qiu Yu was shocked for a moment, but quickly shook her head, "You are the life god of Miss, you shouldn't do anything to her, right?" Miss was very angry today, and she went to the main peak to retreat and do penance. ”

Qiu Yu changed quickly, and after a while, she put aside the sadness of the past.

Shen Yi listened quietly, his tongue licking his gums.

"Alright, I'm leaving."

Seeing that it was not too late, Qiu Yu trotted out of the beast offering hall.

Without the previous depression, the steps are much brisker.

Looking at her back, Shen Yi sighed in his heart: "What a stupid girl, when do you still care about the old witch." After sighing, Shen Yi shifted his attention to what she said before.

Is she going home to visit her family, or is she going to Renxi Town?

It seems like it's a long way away, so it can't be alone, right?
