Chapter 43

In the blink of an eye, the end of the new year was approaching, and Shen Ying was busy inside and out for this. Even though the family was not particularly rich, Shen Ying still took out a bag of money from the drawer under the mattress.

Thinking about adding new clothes to these two boys, since her husband passed away, Shen Ying's mind was always in a trance, and she didn't have time to take care of those two children.

Thinking back to the hot dinner last night, Shen Ying's eyes became a little moist. It turned out that that naughty bastard had unknowingly provoked the burden of the family.

From time to time, you can see that the firewood behind the stove is full, the mattress for sleeping at night is warm, and there are medicines boiled for Lin Qiuyi, patiently taking care of his brother's meals.

After all, my heart is sour.

If Ah Yi could have a good pregnancy, he wouldn't have lived such a miserable life. At this age, he played and played like other children, instead of living such a life.

The sound of firecrackers outside, and the sound of gongs and drums came into the house.

"Mother! Mother!" Zhong Chengyi yelled and ran into the house, seeing Shen Ying just sitting there in a daze, a little worried.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Ying regained consciousness and saw Zhong Chengyi standing in front of him wearing new clothes, his stature was already about the same height as her own, and the originally immature facial features had grown into the appearance of a boy, becoming more and more handsome.

Shen Ying replied with a smile: "This outfit looks nice and handsome."

Seeing his mother smiling again, Zhong Chengyi stretched his brows, and said mischievously and proudly, "That's right! My mother is so beautiful, of course his son is handsome."

Shen Ying was amused and laughed out loud, the haze and worries just now dissipated.

I think as long as it's safe and smooth, it's fine.

-------

A man was squatting in a dilapidated wooden house, his figure was buried in the darkness, his whole body was trembling, and he kept saying: "Please, please don't come, I don't want to die yet, I don't want to die yet, I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to die." don't want to die."

But the sound of a group of footsteps outside the house approached, and the man in the house stopped trembling, his face suddenly turned pale, and he stepped back. His mouth, which was still muttering, was covered by his palm, not daring to make a sound.

"Ghost, there's none here." A tall, thin man respectfully reported to a person standing beside him who kept smoking.

The smoking man was very burly, with a long layer of scars on his face, a terrifying gun pinned to his waist, and an impatient look on his face.

"Damn it! Where did that kid go?"

The people around did not dare to vent their anger, and lowered their heads desperately.

And the silent woman at the side opened her mouth. The woman was dressed very delicately, but the dress was a little special. There was heavy makeup on her pretty face, her red lips were slightly parted, and she stretched out a thin white finger. , pointing to the broken house not far away and said: "There."

Master Gui hooked his lips, and walked towards the broken room with a smile. The man in the room found that the sound outside suddenly stopped, and felt that his breathing had stopped for a moment.

"boom!"

In the next second, the wooden door was kicked open by the man, and the glare of light suddenly illuminated the dark room. The man was frightened by a loud noise and sat paralyzed on the ground. His eyes widened and he raised his head to look at the man, his voice screaming. trembling.

"Ghost."

The man squatted down, rubbed his fingers on the holster around his waist, and showed a devilish smile.

"You are really easy for me to find."

The smell of gunpowder smoke from firecrackers outside the house was scattered in the air, and there was still a strong smell of blood mixed in the air. The people who were beating gongs and drums, laughing and laughing seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand for a moment.

Shen Ying was watering the flowers and plants planted by Lin Qiuyi in the yard at this time. They were obviously just some cheap flowers and plants, but their vitality was extraordinarily tenacious in this winter.

Shen Ying, who was originally in a good mood, found that the surroundings were incomparably silent, which gave Shen Ying a chill in her heart.

Zhong Chengyi was still holding a piece of dog's tail in his hand and was playing with his tabby cat, when Shen Ying dragged him into the house by his arm.

As soon as Shen Ying entered the room, she locked the bolt firmly.

Zhong Chengyi found that something was wrong, Lin Xinshu was a little afraid of this situation for no reason, and tightened Zhong Chengyi's sleeve: "Brother."

Zhong Chengyi frowned and looked at the people walking not far away, and softly comforted: "Don't be afraid."

Shen Ying closed the window and pulled Zhong Chengyi to hide behind the cabinet, and said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute, don't come out no matter what sounds you hear, you understand?"

Although Zhong Chengyi was still a little dazed, he still nodded.

After Shen Ying explained, she was ready to go out. Although she was not sure what would happen, this scene was very similar to the situation she encountered when she was a child.

She knew it was the bandits.

There was a cat meowing outside the door. It was an unusual sound, like a warning in case of danger.

It's the monster, the monster is still outside.

But in the next second, there was only a miserable meowing, and then it returned to calm.

"Dead cat, get out of the way, don't dirty our ghost's shoes." A man's voice sounded outside the door.

After hearing Ah Guai's voice, Lin Xinshu pulled Zhong Chengyi's sleeve even harder, lowered his head, and said with a slightly choked voice: "Brother, what's wrong with Ah Guai?"

Although Zhong Chengyi couldn't see the outside, he knew that it was the scream of an animal before it died.

Zhong Chengyi didn't speak, but his pitch-black eyes were flushed red, the fist placed by his side had veins, and his fingertips were trembling from exertion.

Shen Ying took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and saw a dying tabby cat not far away, its body twitching non-stop, and its lips were covered with blood.Shen Ying's eyes trembled, she turned her head, and said to the visitor with a smile: "Where did this master come from? It was our beast who offended him, so it's just right to die."

Ghost Lord looked at Shen Ying's face, stretched out his hand to touch it, and said with a smile: "You old woman has quite tender skin."

Shen Ying frowned unconsciously, suppressed the disgust in her heart and said with a smile: "Master, my skin is getting old, don't dirty my hands."

After finishing speaking, he quietly and slightly staggered.

Ghost Lord frowned, as if he was going to get angry in the next second, but he was stopped by the woman beside him and asked, "Do you have a place to live here?"

Shen Ying was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the woman in front of her. Looking at the clothes and the awkward accent, she didn't look like a native, but that kind of face can be said to be amazing, but there was something in the charming eyes that made her The darkness that people can't see makes people feel a little panicked.

Shen Ying avoided the woman's eyes, and said with a smile: "My house is dilapidated, I'm afraid I will be wronged."

The tall, thin man on the side said a little unhappyly: "What are you talking about, start it!"

After speaking, he went straight in.

Shen Ying took them to another room, and after everyone left, Zhong Chengyi and Lin Xinshu came out of the cabinet and opened the door.

Lin Xinshu looked at the monster who was already powerless, squatted aside and hugged the monster's body, rubbing his face against the monster's hair, trying to make the monster's body no longer so cold, but he couldn't hug him no matter what. Not warm, tears can only fall big drops, extremely helpless.

"Brother, what should I do? Why can't Aguai just wake up."

"Brother, what should I do?"

Zhong Chengyi could only stand aside, there was nothing he could do, he could only watch Ah Guai's body stiffen little by little, but there was nothing he could do.

At this moment, Zhong Chengyi felt that he was so incompetent that he couldn't protect anything, not even a kitten.

In the middle of the night, Lin Xinshu tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. In the past, Ah Kuai would sleep next to his pillow every night. In the cold winter nights, he could always feel the warm body of the little fur ball, as well as the small sound of breathing.

But at this moment, there was only a piece of ice cold beside the pillow.

At this time, Zhong Chengyi was squatting outside the door, as if he couldn't feel the cold wind, just squatting in a daze.

The lights in the other room were still brightly lit, and men's laughter could be heard from time to time, which Zhong Chengyi heard extremely ear-piercingly.

I don't know what was said inside, the man's laughter stopped, the wooden door was opened, and a disheveled woman appeared at the door with a cigarette in her mouth, half of her shoulder was exposed to the cold wind.

Zhong Chengyi raised his eyes to look at the woman, his eyes were full of resentment and disgust.

The woman also turned her head to look at him, her eyes that were originally waveless were now full of smiles, and she spit out a smoke ring at Zhong Chengyi who was not far away.

"Wolf cub."

---

That group of people spent this winter peacefully, and this winter was even more dead than usual, with no firecrackers, no gongs and drums, only the sky full of smoke.

The next day, that rough man brought all the people in the village over. All of his subordinates had guns in their hands, and no one dared to resist.

They were sent to the field by the man's subordinates. They all held torches in their hands and burned all the withered grass in the fields.

In the spring of the following year, the man distributed a handful of seeds to everyone in the village, and told the villagers that the seeds could produce gold and were sacred flowers.

Of course, the people in the village didn't believe it, but they didn't dare to resist the man's order, so they could only obey.

However, an old man in the village recognized the seed. Looking at the seed in his hand, he was so angry that his hands trembled. Veins burst out on his old face, and he threw the seed on the ground viciously: "Create evil!" Ah! What a crime this is!"

He grabbed the man by the collar and said, "You...you disgusting person! Do you know what this is? Do you know how much disaster this kind of flower will bring us! You..."

Before the old man finished speaking, he fell into a pool of blood, his eyes were still staring as before, and the unshed tears ran across his cheeks and melted into the soil.

Those people just looked at it like this, and some women who couldn't stand it just covered their mouths, desperately trying not to let themselves make a sound, for fear that they might be the next one.

When Lin Xinshu, who was inside the door, saw this scene, his heart was startled, his voice trembling, hugged by Zhong Chengyi in his arms, he said softly, "Don't look, Xiaoshu."

Feeling the warmth in his brother's arms, Lin Xinshu calmed down and asked, "Brother, what are those seeds?"

Zhong Chengyi frowned and remained silent for a moment.

"poppy."

"What is this?" Lin Xinshu asked.

"It is a harmful flower, and everyone is afraid of it. Even though it is of infinite value, no one is willing to touch it."

"You bastards!! Let me go!" Shen Ying shouted.

Zhong Chengyi heard Shen Ying's shout, and was about to rush out, but was stopped by Shen Ying's eyes, so he could only look at it steadily.

The man slapped Shen Ying and said angrily: "Damn! □□!"

"Bah! You bunch of harmful bedbugs, don't think I don't know what you want to do. Don't you just want money for planting such harmful things? I can't let you do what you want!"

After speaking, he pushed the bag on the side into the river.

Poppy is the thing Shen Ying hates the most in this life, it is this kind of thing that killed her parents.

This kind of thing shouldn't exist in this world!

Enraged by Shen Ying, the man kicked Shen Ying's chest.

"mother!"
