Once, the girl scored 100 points in the exam, but all she got from her father was "Well done, keep up the good work."
Nothing more.
They were all actively preparing for the new life that was about to come, and had no time to take care of her.
She lowered her eyes.
The heartbeat slowly returned to normal.
She used to run home.
Out of her child's desire to show off, she wanted to tell her family about her results as soon as possible.
However, the situation was different from what she thought.
Inexplicably, her eyes felt hot.
She sniffed.
Later, her mother beckoned her over, held her hand, touched her head, and praised her for doing a good job.
She is very happy.
I didn't notice it for a moment, and my schoolbag swept to the table beside me.
"Crackling~"
The things on the table were swept to the floor by the girl.
The huge, series of sounds frightened her.
The woman bent down and carefully protected her belly, with a hint of panic between her eyebrows.
...
She was scolded by her father.
Grandma asked her to play elsewhere and not get too close to her mother.
Grandma said that mom is pregnant with her brother now and can't play with her.
But she can stay with her mother.
She felt a little aggrieved.
She really didn't mean it.
Her mother smiled at her and said she was fine, just a little shocked.
The mother touched her head and said she would play with her after giving birth to her younger brother.
She mumbled an apology, then smiled and nodded.
…
She hopes that her brother will be born soon so that her mother can accompany her.
But, is it true?
Thinking of the current situation at home, she suspected that after her brother was born, her mother would have no time to accompany her to take care of him, right?
Just like dad.
Just like grandparents.
Just like grandparents.
They all like their younger brother more than her.
Why?
Obviously her brother always cries, is so noisy, and likes to take her things at will.
But they would only tell her every time that she was the older sister and had to give up to her younger brother.
Why?
Where is mom?
Would her mother also ask her to give in to her younger brother?
Even if sometimes she doesn't want to let it go.
Mom said she wanted to be a good sister.
Does a good sister just want to give everything to her brother?
Even mom and dad?
The girl doesn't want to.
However, even if she doesn't want to, her father has already favored her younger brother.
Mom...will she change too?
Even though her mother is gone, she still wants to know the answer.
The girl turned around and raised her head.
My heart is beating like a drum, and there seems to be a huge noise in my ears.
She mustered up the courage to look at the tomb ghost.
"Apiao, you said..."
"Will my mother be like my father and others, who likes my younger brother more and treats my younger brother better than me?"
…
Grave Ghost:......
This question... what does it mean?
How should it answer?
"Apiao."
the girl urged.
There was a bit of anxiety on his face.
The grave ghost looked at his appearance in the girl's eyes and hesitated before nodding.
It nodded many times before.
This time, what it probably needs is a nod?
But the next second, its movements stopped.
It noticed a change in the girl's expression.
But it's obviously not an expression that satisfies its answer.
It immediately shook its head.
Seeing the girl slowly showing a smile, it couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Did you have to shake your head this time?
…
"A'Piao, do you think Mom won't be the same, right?"
The girl seemed to have been relieved of a heavy burden, and her whole body and mind became relaxed.
"That is."
The girl was a little proud, "Mom likes me the most."
"I also like my mother the most."
Grave Ghost:......
The girl said everything.
What else does it need to say?
…
This level of affirmation is all a girl needs.
Ah Piao also thinks that her mother likes her the most.
The younger brother took away her father, grandpa, grandma, grandpa, and grandma, but she still had her mother.
It would be nice if she had a mother.
…
"Apiao, thank you."
The girl's eyebrows were slightly arched, and she took a few steps backwards with her hands behind her back.
"I really have to leave."
"I came here secretly."
The girl stuck out her tongue, looking innocent and cunning.
"It would be bad if you were discovered."
…
"Apiao, goodbye."
The girl waved her hand.
The grave ghost also imitated the girl and waved his hand.
Just as the girl was about to turn around, she looked at the woman's photo on the tombstone.
"Mom, goodbye."
…
The girl's figure gradually disappeared behind the dense bushes and thorns.
There was a vague rustling sound.
The tomb ghost floated into the air.
The girl's figure appeared in its eyes again.
It watched the girl go down the mountain.
The girl reached the foot of the mountain.
The girl stopped.
Then turn around.
The Tomb Ghost subconsciously hid his body behind the canopy of densely intertwined branches and leaves.
When the girl took another step, it floated into the air again.
The girl's figure is getting smaller and smaller.
It couldn't help but float forward a little.
This time, after the girl leaves, it won't be a matter of seven or eight or nine days to see each other again, but it will be a long, long time.
…
The grave ghost lowered his head and looked at the small flower basket in his hand, grinning.
The small flowers swayed slightly, emitting a faint fragrance.
It took a deep breath with a happy expression.
Then, the tomb ghost turned around and Shi Shiran floated back to the mountain.
…
When I saw the girl again, it was the busiest time in the mountains.
Before the sky was completely white, the sound of people could be heard faintly at the foot of the mountain.
The girl didn't come alone.
But together with many other human beings.
Just like the other groups of humans it saw.
…
Before the girl could call it, it had already floated in front of the girl.
"Apiao!"
The girl shouted in surprise
The tomb ghost's one eye is curved into a crescent shape.
…
"What Ah Piao?"
A voice broke the warm atmosphere of a man and a demon reunited after a long absence.
It's an old lady.
She looked at the girl in confusion, "Nanny, who are you calling?"
"Apiao."
The girl smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Grandma, this is Ah Piao."
The girl couldn't wait to introduce her friends to her family.
"Apiao, this is my grandma."
Girl introduces her family to friends.
"this-"
Just when she was about to introduce her family, she realized something was wrong.
The premature death of her mother and the birth of her younger brother made her much more sensitive to her family's emotions.
She found her grandma's expression a little strange.
Inexplicably, she felt a little uneasy in her heart.
"grandmother?"
Girl na na.
"What's wrong, you suddenly have such a serious expression?"
Grandpa came over and asked, breaking the somewhat stagnant air between the girl and the old lady.
The old lady ignored grandpa's question.
She looked at the girl with a sharp look in her eyes, "What did you just say?"
"I……"
The girl was a little frightened.
"what are you doing?"
The grandfather couldn't stand the pitiful look of his granddaughter, and was also confused by his wife's sudden harsh words, "Okay, why are you so mean?"
Others also noticed the movement here and gathered around one after another.
