After a while, the woman's sobs of joy and sorrow could be heard in the room.
"My poor child...ah..."
The old woman who was still cursing outside the door gave a loud sigh, then closed her mouth with a long sigh.
But at this moment, Xu Luo, who had been watching with cold eyes, suddenly felt trembling in his consciousness.
Without hesitation, he curled up his spiritual consciousness deep in Qingshiro's mind.
However, all the movement in the entire yard suddenly stopped at this moment, and a looming and slender rope appeared out of thin air above the house and disappeared in a flash.
Just a moment later, all the scenery in the yard suddenly came alive again.
The old woman was still shaking her head in regret, the woman Bai Sanniang was holding a red swaddling clothes and weeping, and Qingshiro was speechless...
But suddenly, another weak baby cry woke everyone up. Bai Sanniang raised the baby in her hand in disbelief, trembling and yelling.
"Husband, no, Mother-in-law Hua, mother-in-law... come and see if this child is alive?"
"What nonsense are you talking about..."
Grandma Hua subconsciously wanted to refute, but when she looked around and saw the swaddled baby that was still trembling slightly, all the words were swallowed in her throat again. After being stunned for a moment, she hurried a few steps to pick up the baby boy who had long been judged dead by her, and followed her.
It was like seeing a ghost.
"Wow wow..."
A clear cry came from the swaddling clothes again. Granny Hua's arms trembled and she almost threw the swaddling clothes on the ground.
But she is still kind-hearted after all, with a smile on her old face.
"My old lady is really blind. She almost committed a crime after delivering babies all her life. That's good. That's good. This baby is very tough!"
Bai Sanniang was holding on for a breath, but now she was so happy and sad that she fainted again.
Qingshiro's face showed an ecstatic expression, and he looked eagerly at the little feet that were still shaking in his swaddling clothes, but he didn't dare to come over.
After a long while, he looked longingly at Granny Hua who was teasing the baby and stammered.
"Grandma Hua, is this time, is it accurate this time?"
Granny Hua glared at him angrily and didn't bother to pay him any attention. She turned around and looked at the little baby with distressed eyes.
This time Qingshiro was relieved, the breath in his heart was relieved, and he collapsed to the ground again.
However, this time he kept laughing like a fool.
Soon, the two children who were still in swaddling clothes grew up day by day. The boy was named Nian Qing and the girl was named Nian Bai.
It's just that Xiao Nianbai is okay. Even though his family lacks food and clothing, he is still healthy and lively.
But Nian Qing seemed to have lost his vitality in the womb. He was frail and sickly from the moment he was born. He was a veritable medicine pot, which made his already poor family even worse.
The children grew up day by day, and Qingshiro and his wife also grew older day by day.
Bai Niangzi paid it back, but Qingshiro would always deliberately avoid getting along with his daughter.
On weekdays, he no longer chops firewood and spends his days drinking, and his temper becomes increasingly irritable and irritable. Every time he beats up Xiao Nianbai for the smallest thing.
Seeing this, Xu Luo roughly guessed the man's true inner thoughts.
He still couldn't get over that hurdle. In the heart of this pitiful, hateful and incompetent man, this daughter should not have been born. It was she who took away the spirit of his brother.
But he didn't know what his precious son who had come back from the dead was!
As Seishiro became increasingly lazy and addicted to alcohol, his family situation naturally deteriorated.
But he seemed to have completely lost all his energy. Every day when he got drunk, he would sit in the yard, either staring at Nian Qing in a daze, or talking nonsense, saying something about how he was sorry for his ancestors.
The White Snake washes her face with tears every day and budgets carefully, but she can't bear the thought that her family's income is going to waste every day.
Finally, on this day, the family completely ran out of food.
"Master, there is no food at home. Look..."
The white lady walked timidly to Qingshiro and tried to help him up.
But before she could finish her words, Qingshiro threw her arm away and fell heavily to the ground, smashing the porcelain wine jar next to it.
"Get out, get out, take this little loser like you and get out of here!"
While Qingshiro struggled on the ground like a maggot, he cursed angrily at Madam Bai and Nianbai, who was afraid of hiding behind her.
Nian Qing, who was being carried on his back by Nian Bai, was suddenly awakened and burst into tears, but the cry was obviously a little out of breath.
White Snake thought about how difficult her family had been over the years and how the days were becoming more and more difficult day by day. She couldn't help but feel sad and sobbed softly.
Nian Bai, who was already eight years old, looked at his familiar yet unfamiliar father with a horrified face. His big clear eyes were filled with tears, but he did not dare to shed them.
Because she knew that the louder she cried, the angrier her father would be and the harder he would beat her.
Her little brain couldn't figure out why other people's peers would pester their fathers to act coquettishly, why other people's fathers would lift their children up high, and prick those delicate faces with stubble while laughing...
But when I came to her, there were only endless scoldings, beatings, and indifference.
Nian Bai also wanted to get into her father's arms and act coquettishly and naughty. She also wanted her father to pat her little buttocks a few times, but why?
Qingshiro seemed to be going crazy again, staggering up and looking for anyone who could take advantage of him.
When Nian Bai saw this familiar scene, he ran into the house without even thinking about it. But just as he reached the door, he heard a suppressed cry of pain coming from his ears.
She looked back and saw that her mother was squatting on the ground covering her arms, and her father raised the wooden stick as thick as an arm in his hand like a maniac, and was about to smash it down.
"Mom...Dad, please don't hit mom, don't run away from me..."
Nian Bai felt a pain in his heart, and no longer cared about the upcoming beating, he hurriedly ran to Madam Bai and held her in his arms with her small body.
Seeing this scene, Qingshiro's hands suddenly stopped in the air, but Nianqing, who was lying on her back, was crying even harder.
This cry and howl fell into Qing Silang's ears, and the look of reluctance on his face instantly turned into disgust and ferociousness, and the wooden stick hit Nian Bai's thin shoulder hard.
"Oh, ah..."
As soon as I cried out of my throat, I immediately remembered something and forced myself to bite my lip to suppress it. Tears flowed down my cheeks like raindrops, and I just looked at my father pitifully.
But Qingshiro was stunned at this moment!
The wooden sticks in his hand fell like raindrops one after another. It looked like he wanted to beat Nian Bai to death.
"Stop fighting...Nian Bai, take Adi away..."
Bai Sanniang stood up to protect Nian Bai and pushed Nian Bai out.
Nian Bai finally couldn't bear the severe pain coming from his body anymore and burst into tears.
While she was crying and hiding in the room, she did not forget to hug the skinny Nian Qing on her back, for fear that he would fall.
Oddly enough, when the two children left, Aoshiro's drunkenness suddenly seemed to overwhelm him, and he walked into the house regardless.
Only Xu Luo, who was hiding deep in his mind, kept staring at Nian Qing, who was still crying endlessly.
At that moment, he clearly saw the long rope that had appeared once before.
Xu Luo felt that he could already guess the ending of the story, but the slap in the face was like a tornado, coming too fast.
In order to comfort his brother who had been crying endlessly, Nian Bai took Nian Qing to the swing in the yard as usual.
This swing was also the only source of happiness for the two brothers and sisters in their childhood.
Especially Nian Bai, every time the swing swings her up high, she feels like she is really flying, like a free bird flying over the tall treetops, like the gentle wind blowing through the marshmallow-like clouds.
, fly into the blue sky, boundless stars...
As he thought about it, a rare cheerful and pure smile appeared on Nian Bai's face.
But she didn't notice that as she was distracted, Nian Qing, who was sitting on the swing, was being swayed higher and higher by her.
Nian Qing, who didn't understand anything, let out a chuckle, and habitually let go of his hands and clapped his hands.
At this time in the past, the swing was not high, so Nian Bai, who had been paying close attention to him, would appear in time and hold him in his arms, for fear of falling him.
But this time Nian Bai's eyes were confused, looking up at the clear blue sky...
Bang, Nian Qing fell straight from the swing and hit the ground like a carrot stuck upside down in the mud.
The blood is like a poppy flower, drawing coquettish patterns on the ground.
Nian Bai, who came back from his reverie, was stunned to the spot.
Her thin chest rose and fell, her whole body was shaking like chaff, and her neck was stretched out as if she wanted to spit out all the fear and fear in her heart.
"Ah...brother..."
Nian Bai did not come forward, but stepped back violently, falling to the ground because of his haste.
But even though she was paralyzed on the ground, she still kicked her feet as if she wanted to get as far away from this nightmare scene as possible.
But suddenly she realized that Nian Qing was gone and her brother was gone.
She crawled towards Nian Qing who was still twitching on the ground on her hands and knees, hugged him in her arms regardless of the blood all over his body, shook her little head crazily and cried loudly.
"Brother, don't scare me, get up quickly..."
As Nian Bai cried, Sanniang Bai in the room was the first to realize something was wrong.
When she walked out of the door, she saw this horrifying scene. This woman, who had been tortured by life, simply fainted and fell to the ground before she could even let out a scream.
Seoshiro, who was sleeping drunkenly on the bed in the house, seemed to hear mosquitoes buzzing in his ears, so he fanned his ears with his hand and continued to fall asleep again.
Nianbai cried and howled for a long time. With tears in his eyes, he raised his head and looked at the dead silent yard, and then at his mother who had fainted on the ground.
For a moment, it seemed like she was the only one left in the world.
At this moment, all the reality in the world faded from her sight, and all the scenery became black and white. Only the clear blue sky just now turned out to be strangely gray.
Time became completely silent.
Until Qing Shilang staggered out of the door, watching this scene and rubbing his eyes in disbelief, and finally stared at Nian Qing's corpse that had already stiffened in Nian Bai's arms.
A moment later, he suddenly let out a cruel roar, moved step by step to Nian Bai's side, and fell to his knees weakly, like a wild beast at the end of its rope, and beat his head on the ground.
