Chapter 435: Human Nature
Chen Jianping shook his head slightly, and said secretly in his heart: "At this moment, Yun Xiaonian will never have any backup, and delaying time is useless to him." ”
At this time, Yun Xiaonian has been seriously injured for a long time, and the whole person is almost in a state of chaos.
I saw that he looked at the candle glowing with a dark red light on the confession with a sloppy look, and continued in a low voice: "At that time, there were fathers, mothers, elder brothers, and younger brothers in the family. ”
Speaking of this, the blurry Yun Xiaonian actually emitted a glimmer of light in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth seemed to have a hint of a smile, only to hear him continue: "At that time, my father cultivated rice, my mother weaved cloth and raised silkworms, and my brother and I took care of the two old hens in the cage under the window every day. ”
At this moment, Yun Xiaonian actually laughed lightly and whispered: "Every evening, my brother and brother and I can pick up two or three eggs from the chicken coop, and my mother will put them away, and pick up two or three more every other day, making four or five, and then boiled one egg for each person in a family of five." ”
"But every once in a while, my mother can always conjure up several hard-boiled eggs for me and my brother and brother to eat, it turned out that every time my mother was reluctant to eat her own egg, secretly hidden, and left it for my father and me and my brother and brother to eat, just like that, although our family of four is hard, but every day is happy. ”
At this time, Wu Datong and Nalan Yuejiang Qichen gradually let down their guard, and were slowly attracted by what Yun Xiaonian said, and the two threw the torch that had long been extinguished on the ground, and looked at Yun Xiaonian with confused eyes.
At this time, Yun Xiaonian's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a trace of pain flashed on his face, only to hear him whisper: "Until that year, that year was different from previous years, the rain was extraordinarily heavy, it rained for more than ten days in a row, almost washed away everything planted in the field, everyone was busy for a year without harvest, everyone in the village fell into endless hunger, and the plague began to spread in the village, and countless people died of starvation and disease for a while. ”
Yun Xiaonian coughed violently a few times, a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then said: "I don't know how long everyone has been hungry, in short, there are people who have starved to death in every family, and the corpses that have fallen to the ground can be seen everywhere at the root of the wall and on the side of the road." ”
Yun Xiaonian leaned weakly on the back of the circle chair and said bitterly: "No one cares whether we live or die, our family of five is desperately curled up in a dilapidated house with leaky walls, quietly waiting for the day when we will be starved to death!"
Somehow, Chen Jianping suddenly had a trace of resonance with Yun Xiaonian who said this, he had experienced hunger, and that feeling could not be described in words.
It can give you a great deal of insecurity, it will leave you with no time to think about anything other than hunger itself, it will haunt you in a constant stream, and it will be hard to think about how someone on the verge of starvation will feel at the last moment.
At this time, the muscles on Yun Xiaonian's face trembled slightly because of the pain, and he continued: "But that's it, the officials and soldiers in the state and county don't care about the lives of the villagers, they still collect military rations as usual, they set up camps at the head of the village, and go door to door to collect anything that can be imported!"
At this time, the blurry Yun Xiaonian seemed to have looked at the existence of Chen Jianping and others, he almost completely fell into his own memories, and muttered bitterly: "Finally, late one night, a few drunken officers and soldiers rushed into our house, frantically searching for any place in the house where they thought they could get things, that is, we are really four walls, and a few officials and soldiers who can't find things are angrily smashing things!"
"Finally, a sergeant touched the small black jar under the stove and was about to fall to the ground, but my mother rushed up in panic and hugged the black jar with all her might, which turned out to contain a few salt-pickled eggs that my mother had saved!"
Yun Xiaonian's pale face seemed to leave a line of tears, the tears were mixed with the blood stains on his face, turning red, like blood and tears, only to hear him tremble and say: "A few drunken officers and soldiers looked at the black jar in their mother's arms, and viciously surrounded their mother in the middle!"
Chen Jianping and the three of them stood in the small room in a daze, silently looking at Yun Xiaonian who was covered in scars, Nalan Yue gently leaned towards Chen Jianping's side, looking at the person in front of him with a strange look.
Yun Xiaonian said in a trembling voice of pain: "My brother and brother are crying in fright, my mother is screaming in despair and pain, and my father is trembling and huddled in the corner, watching my mother be humiliated!"
At this moment, Yun Xiaonian's eyes burst into essence, and he said breathlessly: "Before leaving, one of the officers and soldiers was still in front of my mother with a small bag of brown rice, and my father didn't say anything, just held the bag of brown rice in a silent daze, and we relied on such a small bag of brown rice to live for a few more days!"
Yun Xiaonian sighed bitterly, and after a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "Since then, whenever my brother and brother and I can't stand the hunger, my mother will touch our heads with tears and turn away, and when she comes back, she always carries a small bag of brown rice in her hand!"
Chen Jianping only felt as if he was stuck in his throat, is this world really as people say, after all, is it more suffering than joy?
Everyone has their own pain and helplessness!
Jiang Qichen stood aside, Wu Datong's face was rare at the moment, and Nalan Yue was already with tears.
Yun Xiaonian seemed to have no sense of everything in the outside world at this moment, he was completely immersed in his painful memories, except for Yun Xiaonian's voice, there was a dead silence around, and the blood on the corner of his black robe dripped on the ground one by one, dripping sound.
Yun Xiaonian said as if talking to himself: "Later, the plague in Nanmian Village did not subside, and the sorcerer in the village said that it was my mother who corrupted the atmosphere, angered the gods, and sent a calamity, and even wanted to burn my mother alive!"
Hearing this, Chen Jianping, Jiang Qichen, and Wu Datong were all shocked, and Nalan Yue exclaimed even more.
Yun Xiaonian said bitterly: "And at this time, my father was no longer silent, he personally twisted my mother to the empty field in front of the village, cursing my mother loudly, everyone thought that the suffering was brought by my mother, and they couldn't wait to put my mother on the pyre, and the sergeants who insulted my mother stood aside, watching all this with a smile on their faces, and my father was busy adding firewood to the pyre!"
"The fire kept burning, my mother didn't make a sound from beginning to end, I cried desperately with my brother and brother, and my brother resisted frantically, struggling to smash the things that symbolized the sacrifice made of clay on the table, and all the villagers angrily threw themselves at my brother, thinking that he was possessed by an evil spirit and came to destroy the sacrifice, so my brother was also thrown into the fire!"
Speaking of this, Yun Xiaonian suddenly laughed in a low voice as if he was crazy, he clapped his palms lightly, and said: "After doing all this, everyone looked at me and my brother who were already stunned, I knew that they were going to throw me into the fire, but at this moment, my ancestor Yun Yi Tianyou came here, saw this scene, and saved us from the hands of that group of mobs!"
Yun Xiaonian looked at Chen Jianping, who was stunned, smiled coldly, and said: "Human nature, human nature is the most terrible, human nature is the most unreliable, you remember, if you want to rely on human nature, you will die worse than me in the end!"
