With the passage of time little by little, seventeen years have passed in a blink of an eye, and time has really passed quickly, and the cold night has changed from a baby who has not been breastfed back then, and now he is a seventeen-year-old young man. My father died of illness as early as the age of 10, and the huge blow and the pressure of reality made my mother extremely haggard, just over her early forties, she looked much older than her peers, and her gray hair repeatedly hung down from her mother's shoulders.

It's still the dilapidated house, and the wind outside the window is still so fierce, through the broken wooden doors and windows, people shiver from time to time. But her mother is no longer the young and beautiful mother she was back then, and she has become so old and haggard under the ruthless destruction of the years. The once rounded wicker hand is close to cracking and opening. The face of the 20-year-old who can be blown by a bullet is almost full of wrinkles.

Thinking that the tears of this cold night had wet her eyelids, she secretly made up her mind that she wanted to live well for her mother, and let her mother live the life she deserved.

"Ye'er~ The meal is ready, come out and eat," said concerned at the door of the mother.

"Ao~~~~ Okay, come right away" woke up from the pain of memories in the cold night, wiped the excess tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands, and wiped the excess tears on his face with a wet towel.

Walked out of the room and came to the kitchen, with the dishes and chopsticks that have been familiar in recent years, the dim trance candlelight shone on the mother's face, and the white hair was so conspicuous under the candlelight.

"What are you still standing and watching? Why don't you eat it quickly?" asked the mother, still speaking with tenderness and concern.

"No, no, I can't get tired of eating your food," he said, and moved the small wooden stool and sat down in the cold night.

When the mother heard her son say this, her face was full of smiles, and that smile was as bright and happy as that of a child.

Leng Ye knew very well in his heart that what he could do now was to make his mother happy, and her happiness was even more important than that.

"By the way, Ye'er, today is your eighteenth birthday, and my mother has nothing to give you, so I'll pass this on to you later."

Saying that, the mother stretched out her hand to the neck of the cold night, and slowly took off a pendant wrapped in a silver frame, which looked like a black gem, and there was black gas floating in it, and the color looked much duller than the real gem, maybe it was because the outer layer was wrapped with a layer of sugar coating, and the light inside could only faintly emerge.

Mother carefully handed the pendant to Leng Ye's palm, and said earnestly, " Ye'er, you have to take good care of this, this is your father when he was alive, from the mining found in the southern mid-mountain, I heard that this is the essence of the mountain, every two hundred years will have a formation, your father he loves me, in his eyes anything compared to me is just so, so this so-called mountain spirit stone polished into a pendant to me, over the years, this pendant has been with me, never left, today is your birthday, my mother has nothing to give you, this is for you, I am now in the body for a year is not as good as a year, you have to keep it for me in the future。 ”

Although Leng Ye couldn't understand what his mother was talking about, he knew that this thing must have its preciousness.

"What are you talking about, my body is not good with me, as long as you are healthy, I will support this family in the future" Leng Ye said with a serious face.

The mother looked at the cold night kindly, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she nodded with satisfaction.

It's also strange to say, since the pendant was worn, there was a mysterious force that was pulled from time to time, and Leng Ye didn't take it seriously, so he didn't care.

What mother doesn't want her children to be filial, and which mother doesn't want her children to have ideals and ambitions?

Since then, the family's seven acres and three points of land have been borne for my mother, and this land is now the hope of the family, if there is no it, I don't know how to maintain my life now.

When I came home in the evening, I had a busy day and started to cook dinner for another day, although I was a little unaccustomed to it at first, but it was worth it to think about my mother.

But this simple and simple day did not take long, and bad luck will finally befall our simple family.

The cold night will never forget that day, always, forever.

In order to make his mother heal faster and heal faster, he borrowed some gold coins from a relatively wealthy landlord in the same village.

You must know that for a poor family like them, a hundred silver coins is almost an astronomical amount, not to mention that if you want to repay the debt, it is impossible to complete it without a special diameter.

At noon that day, with the sound of hurried footsteps at the door, five big men came.

"Knock, knock, knock"

"Open the door, old lady!" the grumpy man slammed the door.

"I told you to open the door, didn't you hear me!!" kept knocking on the door, mixed with shouting

Leng Ye knew very well what was going on, but he had never told his mother about it, let alone mentioned it.

"Ye'er, who is this, so rude, you won't knock lightly on the door," the mother said to the door in a reproachful voice, and her voice was deliberately raised several times.

"That's it, that's it, why are you so hard" Maybe he was frightened, and followed his mother in the cold night.

"I'll tell you the old lady! If I count to three, and you don't open the door, don't blame me for smashing your door!" The big man's temper became even more irritable.

"One"

"Two"

"Three"

The mother opened the door, and the big man outside was sprinting and banging on the door.

"Yo~ old lady, are you willing to open the door???" A big man who seemed to be the boss looked up and down and said.

"Where's your little rabbit cub? Don't hand it over! Don't let anyone go today!"

"Is there anything that the people of the village can't talk about?" asked the mother, who didn't know the truth of the matter.

"I said, old lady, are you tired of living today? It doesn't matter to you, I just want that little rabbit cub in your family, if you don't pay back today? Hmph! Then don't blame our brothers for being unkind" The big man's rude voice sounded again.

The mother was confused, as if she did not understand what they meant, and her expression was tense and she did not speak.

On the cold night on the side, I was already frightened by the scene at that time, and stood motionless behind my mother, the rain that blew in from outside the door kept floating on my face, and I couldn't feel the coldness at that time.

"I said, boy, do you dare to borrow it or not, and still let your mother support you?" the big man seemed to have noticed the cold night, and as he spoke, he took a step inside.

When her mother saw this, she couldn't take care of her petite body, and tried her best to pull the big man who walked in, but with her strength, how could she be the opponent of the big man.

I saw that the bucket-thick arm waved in the air, and the mother stumbled and fell to the ground, and when she landed, her head hit the wooden table, and with a whoop, a mouthful of blood gushed out.

Seeing this, it was as if the air was frozen, and the heart of the cold night was extremely cold.

"Mom!" exclaimed Cold Night.

Dahan looked at his mother who fell to the side with contemptuous eyes, and said indifferently: "Dead girl, let you get in the way again"

The cold night couldn't take care of so much, and one rushed to his mother's side, picked up her body, and cried, "Mom, Mom, how are you?" ”

"I beg you to let my mother go, you can do whatever you want me to do, please" Leng Ye cried to the big man next to him in a pleading voice.

At this time, the mother slowly grabbed Leng Ye's arm with her chapped and thin hand, and said weakly, "Don't ...... Don't beg them, we can't bow our heads to this kind of person, even if we don't have the ability to resist, you have to remember that no matter what happens in the future, you have to live strongly, your mother will always love you and believe in you. ”

Dahan looked down at Leng Ye again, and said indifferently: "Your mother is a person who is going to die, don't cry, okay! For today's sake, I will let you go for the time being, but don't think that letting you go means that the money does not have to be returned." ”

Bang bang

The door was kicked open with a bang, and several people left with a burst of laughter.

In the cold-blooded and ruthless world, in the eyes of these people, a few gold coins are more important than human lives, looking down at the mother in her arms, tears poured out uncontrollably.

"Night, night, remember Mom, Mom's words, whatever you encounter, you have to face it bravely" said another mouthful of blood.

"Mom, don't say it, it's all my fault, it's all my fault. Cold Night roared in his helpless voice.

"Mom has always wanted to see you get married, and it seems that there is no blessing or blessing in this life. The world is sinister, and there will be no mother by your side in the future, so you want to, want, and take care of ......"

The voice stopped abruptly, and the hand that had gone through the years slid down his cheeks in the cold night, and he might never feel such care again, and he would never be able to eat his favorite meal again. Jaya......

Mom still had a kind smile when she left, maybe she was afraid of being sad and sad in the cold night.

"It's me who is incompetent, it's me who is incompetent" Leng Ye hugged his mother's thin body and wailed, but it was too late.

Leng Ye silently made up her mind to make herself stronger, and to let those who hurt me and my mother get the retribution they deserve.

In this way, my mother's body was buried at the foot of the mountain, and Leng Ye made an oath in front of my mother's grave that today's revenge will be avenged tomorrow......
