Aunt Li now looks like a rotten red coffin board, straight and hard, her body is covered with rotten flesh, and pus and blood are still dripping down. Her wrists are raised and moved as if they are on a mechanism.
She stood in the shadow under the willow tree.
I immediately held my breath.
Lulu saw me like this and curiously looked at the door, but she didn't see anything. She asked me doubtfully: "Nuan Ting, what are you looking at?"
"Lulu, Lulu, Aunt Li is calling me outside the door." My throat felt like it had been scratched by a cat, it was dry and painful.
"What!" Lulu jumped up from the kang. In a panic, she just dragged me by my collar and stuffed me into the closet. I don't know where she got such strength!
"Go in and hide!"
"What should you do!"
"I, I protect you!"
Lulu stood outside the closet, her face was pale and her mouth was pursed. In fact, she was too scared, her braids were trembling back and forth, but she still mustered up the courage to push me in.
Then I can't let Lulu face Aunt Li alone!
She can’t see it yet, so she’s not as good as me!
I pushed Lulu away and pressed my hand, and said seriously: "No, Aunt Li is here to see me!"
Lulu was so anxious that she almost cried: "Nuan Ting, please go in quickly!"
I was about to cry too. Aunt Li was pretty before and I didn’t think she was scary, but now she is so scary and she just killed two people!
And she is obviously coming for me now! Does she blame me for not taking a fancy to my little sister, so she wants to kill me?
Woohoo!
Why isn’t my mother coming back yet?
While Lulu and I were pulling back and forth, a red figure in my peripheral vision suddenly arrived at the door of my house.
"ah!!"
My legs went weak and I fell out of the cabinet and sat on the kang. I don’t know which nerve was stimulated.
I jumped up and handed Nier to Lulu. I ran to the window on my hands and knees, opened it, stretched out my neck, and cried loudly: "I'm not afraid of you! If you kill me, my mother won't let you go."
Yours! Wuwuwuwu! I’m not afraid of you!”
"Girl Yun." Aunt Li didn't move, she just called me softly.
God knows my courage is almost gone now.
"Girl Yun, don't be afraid. My aunt is here to say goodbye to you. Tell your mother not to look for me. Even if she looks for me, she won't be able to find me. I will find a place to hide where no one is and I won't hurt you in the future.
other people."
I burst into tears, my nose was almost over my lips, and my face turned into a pumpkin from crying.
"Also, Girl Yun, Mr. Chen from the East Village has no wife or children, but he is quite a nice person. If you feel burdened, just give Nier to him as your daughter."
I howled for a long time, and when I was tired of crying, Aunt Li had disappeared.
I rubbed my eyes and looked outside carefully. There was no one in front of the door or under the big willow tree, and there was no scary figure of Aunt Li.
What?
Aunt Li is not here to kill me?
"Nuan Ting, is she gone?" Lulu's voice was hoarse and trembling.
I turned around and wiped my tears and nose randomly, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go."
I sat down and broke out in a cold sweat due to nervousness. The pants I had just changed were wet again.
Lulu lowered her head and pinched Ni'er's sleeping face: "It scared me to death. I thought she would blame us for not taking good care of Ni'er. Today it's all my fault. If I hadn't taken Aunt Yun to settle my mother, it wouldn't have happened.
This will happen."
"Lulu, is this why you want to protect me?"
I think Lulu is so stupid. Even if Grandma Li wanted to sell Ni'er if my mother and Lulu hadn't left, the trafficker would have found time to steal Ni'er away, unless Grandma Li didn't have this idea.
But Grandma Li doesn't like little girls, so there is almost no chance she will give up this idea.
What's more, the thing has already happened and no one can blame it.
"No." Lulu raised her head, her eyes still stained with the aftertaste of fear, but extremely determined, "I said I will become a powerful adult and protect you in the future."
"Then you are not an adult now!"
"Then I will protect you too."
I looked at Lulu intently, and suddenly I seemed to understand why my mother and second uncle wanted to help Lulu's mother.
I don’t believe that Lulu grew up to be so kind out of thin air. It must have been that Lulu’s parents had taught Lulu a lot before. Maybe Lulu’s parents later felt sorry for Lulu, and it was really just because they were deceived by goblins that they didn’t mean what they said.
, the heart cannot help itself.
In fact, maybe they really love Lulu.
I grabbed Lulu's hand and said to her seriously: "Lulu, I can protect myself. We also have my father, my mother, and my second uncle who will protect us. Don't do this again."
"Why?"
"No reason! I don't need it anyway!" In order to let Lulu understand my position, I put on an angry look and stomped off to the ground and ran out.
I could feel Lulu's hurt eyes sticking to my back.
But my second uncle said, don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you. Lulu will be afraid of the same things that I am afraid of.
In fact, I don't always listen to my second uncle's teachings, but Lulu is different. She used to be my good friend, and now she is my family.
Family members are people who are indispensable to each other and are at the top of their hearts.
Lulu too!
I took a pair of pants and ran into the shower room in my backyard to wash off the sweat all over my body.
Lulu quickly followed. She stood outside the door and asked hesitantly: "Nuan Ting, are you angry?"
"snort."
"Don't be angry, I am just, just, I am afraid that I will make you unhappy, so I want to compensate you as much as possible."
I angrily turned off the faucet and asked her through the bamboo mat curtain: "Why am I unhappy?"
"Because I am now eating from your house, living in your house, and using a lot of your things. Uncle Yun, Aunt Yun, and my second uncle also spent a lot of money on me. These should be yours. I, I feel very uneasy.
..." Lulu's voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke.
My mood dropped a little bit as Lulu spoke.
yes.
It suddenly occurred to me.
I'm not Lulu, so I rarely consider Lulu's mood.
If I were to suddenly go into a strange environment and live under someone's roof, and the other person was very kind to me, I would also feel anxious.
Lulu must be like this now. Because she was afraid of making my family angry and others annoying her, she didn't dare to cry anymore two days after her parents died, and she tried her best to look positive.
If it were me, I would definitely not be able to do it, and I would get sick from holding it in.
Suddenly realizing Lulu's mood, I burst into tears.
I was too embarrassed to give in, so I could only hold my neck and say: "Don't think like that, I am willing to share it with you. If you treat yourself as an outsider again, I will be really unhappy!"
"Well! Nuanting, don't be angry anymore!"
"It's okay if you don't get angry! But you are not allowed to do this again!"
"Um!"
Lulu poked her head in happily, and I looked at each other and smiled, holding my little hands tightly.
