"Brother, today's thunder is really scary! My ears are almost deaf from the shock~" The little girl stuck out her tongue and jumped to Li Qing's room with her hands behind her back.

The room was dim, and an oil lamp burned persistently.

Li Qing gently knocked on the little girl's head with the book in his hand, and said with a smile, "What are you afraid of, thunder is the righteousness of heaven and earth, and the beatings are all those who are deeply guilty and riddled with evil spirits, how can it not be split on the head of your little girl!"

The little girl held her little head up a little proudly, with a bright smile on her face, "I know, brother, you are a Wenqu star, and you have a friendship with Lei Gong, with my brother here, I am not afraid of anything!"

Li Qing laughed happily and lightly tapped the tip of the little girl's nose, "Erya, since you're not afraid, why don't you sleep so late and come to me?"

The little girl stuck out her little tongue and avoided answering, "Brother, what do you think I brought you?"

Li Qing snorted, pretending not to know, and said with curiosity on his face, "What?"

The little girl took out her little hand behind her back and said proudly, "Look!"

It was a roasted sweet potato, but it had been a long time and had no temperature.

Li Qing's heart was warm, he touched the little girl's head, and didn't ask where the girl got the sweet potatoes, but said, "Erya, my brother is very full, you can eat." ”

Erya shook her head and pouted, "Brother, you are the one who wants to take the top prize, you need to eat more." ”

"Good. Li Qing took the sweet potato in the little girl's hand, broke off a little, peeled it, stuffed it into her mouth, and chewed it carefully, "Well, it's delicious, you can taste it too, it's so sweet." ”

Li Qing handed over the remaining sweet potato, the little girl swallowed her saliva, sweets are rare, I don't know where the little girl got this sweet potato, but it must have been hidden for a long time, because the taste has changed a little.

Li Qing saw that the little girl hesitated and didn't answer, peeled off the sweet potato skin, and sent it to the little girl's mouth, the little girl opened her mouth at this time, but she was reluctant to swallow it in a big gulp, chewing slowly, until the sweetness spread and filled her mouth, and then swallowed it.

Thunder roared outside, and wind and rain raged.

Although there is only a little bean lamp in the house, it is warm.

Most of the sweet potatoes finally entered the little girl's belly, she wiped her mouth and patted her little belly, the thunderclap outside made her shrink her head, she cautiously approached Li Qing and stuck out her little tongue, "Brother, I'm still a little scared, I'll sleep with you tonight, right?"

Li Qing rubbed the little girl's head and said with a smile, "Okay." ”

The lights were turned off, the room was very dark, the little girl listened to the thunder roaring outside, and hugged Li Qing's neck tightly with both hands, "Brother, tell me a story, just the story of that monkey~"

Li Qing took the little girl in her arms and patted her gently, "Okay, then let's tell the story of that monkey~"

......

Li Qing sat on the ground with a pale face, holding the little girl in her arms.

The little girl raised her head with difficulty, with a bright smile on her face, "Brother, tell me the story of that monkey again~"

"Okay, let's talk about the story of that monkey~" Li Qing's hand gently patted the little girl's back, her throat was a little choked, tears fell, and hit the little girl's eyelashes, "The golden monkey rose up a thousand sticks, and Yuyu clarified thousands of miles~"

......

Blood was dripping on the ground, very red, very bright.

Li Qing sat in a pool of blood, patted the little girl's back gently, and muttered the story that the little girl never got tired of hearing.

When Li Laohan and Xiu'e came back from the field, they saw this scene.

The faces of the two of them changed greatly, "Qingzi?

Li Qing turned his head to look over.

His face was incomparably pale, his lips moved, although he had been in this family for more than twenty years, he had never called his father, he smiled softly, "You guys are back~"

As Li Qing turned around, the old couple saw that a big hole had been broken in his chest.

......

"Brother, didn't you say that no matter what I want, even if it is a star in the sky, you will pick it for me?" The little girl sat in the dark and tilted her head, the strange light in her eyes became more and more intense, and the corners of her mouth led a strange smile, "Now, I want your heart." Brother, give me your heart!"

Li Qing squatted down and gently rubbed the little girl's head, extremely gentle, he took the little girl in his arms, rested his chin lightly on the top of the little girl's head, and chuckled, "Okay, since you want it, I'll give it." ”

Li Qing frowned, let out a muffled snort, his body trembled, twitching, he gritted his teeth, but there was still a gentle smile on his face, blood kept flowing out, he held his heart in his hand, and handed it to the little girl.

Although the little girl's appearance has not changed, there is no trace of familiarity on her face, and she takes it in surprise, and the greed in her eyes can shine.

Li Qing gently touched the head of the little girl in her arms, gently tied up her hair, revealing her white and tender neck, and a wooden hairpin was inserted silently~

The little girl held her heart in her hand, and suddenly let out a muffled snort, her neck, blood was constantly dripping from her mouth, and her eyes were constantly changing.

Finally, she raised her head with difficulty, and there was that innocent smile on her face again, very bright, very warm, just lined with blood, looking a little desolate, "Brother, tell me the story of that monkey again~"

......

Li Qing looked up with his pale face and sat in a pool of blood, I don't know if it was because of excessive blood loss or because of the shaking of his Dao heart, which made his spirit more and more trance-like.

He looked at the old couple, and a smile appeared on his pale face, which made him even more fragile and gloomy.

It's like when he was taken into an orphanage, alone in a dark corner, with his little head tilted up, looking out at the sky through a small window.

Lonely, sensitive, vulnerable, longing, redeeming.

In the dark, but extremely yearning for the light.

His eyes were a little confused, but there were some small wounds, and he heard his own voice ringing, "Dad, mother, you say, people have no heart, can they still live?"

Xiu'e was already in tears, and she wanted to rush over to see the son and daughter she had conceived in October.

She didn't know why this happened, but the sight of her children was no longer alive, and she was speechless in agony, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

Li Laohan suddenly grabbed Xiu'e, who was originally a wooden old farmer, his eyes suddenly became deep, his appearance obviously did not change, but he suddenly had an unfathomable spirit on his body.

He leaned over slightly, looked at Li Qing condescendingly, and a weird smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

Li Qing looked up at the face, he saw Li Laohan's lips open and close, but the voice did not come in from his ears, but echoed in his heart.

"Vegetables have no heart to live, and people have no heart, of course they will die!"
