Jiang Dalong was hit on the back of the head by a stone. He covered it with his hand and felt that the palm of his hand was wet. When he pulled his hand back, he saw that the palm of his hand was stained red with blood.
At this time, the expressions of the other children were even more strange. They were looking at the seven-year-old girl Jiang Xiaoyan behind Jiang Dalong in shock.
Jiang Xiaoyan stood up, with tears like pear blossoms hanging on her little face. Her eyes were full of timidity, fear and hatred, and her right hand still retained the gesture of throwing stones.
"Little girl, how dare you hit me!"
Jiang Dalong roared, with a fierce expression on his face, and his big mouth opened wide and round, as if he wanted to swallow Jiang Xiaoyan in one gulp.
"Who, who told you to bully my brother..." Jiang Xiaoyan was crying. It seemed that she hit Jiang Dalong with a pebble. Knowing that she was in trouble, she still felt a little scared.
"Little girl, I'll strangle you to death!" Jiang Dalong was already overwhelmed with anger. He strode forward and stretched his fat hands towards Jiang Xiaoyan's neck.
At this moment, a figure quickly flashed in front of Jiang Dalong and blocked Jiang Dalong.
"Don't bully my sister!"
Jiang Yun shouted, opened his arms, and blocked Jiang Dalong's path. Jiang Yun would rather be beaten than to protect his sister from any harm.
Jiang Dalong was stopped by Jiang Yun, and he became even more angry. He looked at Jiang Yun's fair face, feeling jealous and disgusted. He gave several other children a mean look, and then punched Jiang Yun in the face.
Hit it up.
"You little pretty face, you look as white as a woman. I feel bad when I see you!"
"Yes, yes, little bastard, I'll beat you to death!"
Several other children usually followed Jiang Dalong to eat and drink, causing harm to the village. When they saw the boss taking action, they all shouted and used their fists to attack Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun's face was bruised and swollen, his nose began to bleed, and he was punched several times by the opponent, but he did not say "snort" and used his entire body to shield his sister tightly.
"My brother is not a little bastard. He was not picked up. He is my real brother." Seeing her brother being beaten, Jiang Xiaoyan felt pain and fear in her heart. She cried and told her brother to tell the difference.
She knew that her brother had always been strong. Although he didn't say it on the surface, he hated people calling him a "little bastard".
"That's the little bastard! The little bastard we picked up!" Jiang Dalong and other children joked and laughed while continuing to wave their fists at Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun still didn't speak, and he didn't resist. He just protected his sister, but his eyes were obviously filled with coldness.
"You little bastard, pretty boy, aren't you very powerful? Why don't you fight back even though I hit you like this?"
"That's right, if you have the ability, fight back. Aren't you very capable at catching fish and hunting? Why don't you have the ability to fight?"
"..."
Suddenly a child stopped and seemed to see the coldness in Jiang Yun's eyes.
The other child also stopped, because the slap he just slapped on Jiang Yun's face seemed not to hit his skin, but to a piece of biting ice.
"Brother, he, why did his face become cold..."
"Brother, stop fighting. His whole body is shaking, as if his whole body has become cold..."
"Maybe he is too thin. Don't beat him out of trouble. It will be difficult to explain to the adults in the village when the time comes."
A few children pulled Jiang Dalong back. After all, they were not as courageous as Jiang Dalong. They still felt a little weak after beating someone. Beating them was okay, but beating them to a disability or something was not good.
Jiang Dalong also stopped, but he was still unwilling to give in. He felt that he had not taught Jiang Yun enough, at least Jiang Yun's current expression did not give in to him.
"Humph, if I don't deal with you today, I will deal with you another day when I see you. Not only will I deal with you, but I will also deal with that little girl of yours! Ugh, you actually dare to hit me with a stone."
While Jiang Dalong was talking, he touched the back of his head with his hand. The back of his head was still bleeding, and he felt a sharp pain as soon as his hand touched it.
After hearing Jiang Dalong's words, Jiang Yun's slightly trembling body suddenly became alert. He raised his head and spit out a mouthful of blood, his expression looking extremely cold.
"I'll say it again, you can bully me, but you can't bully my sister!"
"What if I want to bully your sister? Not only will I bully your sister, I will also call my father to bully your parents, forcefully collect your family's miscellaneous taxes, and occupy your family's land..." Jiang Dalong shouted maliciously.
.
Jiang Yun's heart thumped. Even if he was beaten to death by Jiang Dalong, he would not be afraid, but his sister, his parents, they are all his relatives.
My sister is still young, so if Jiang Dalong tries to take advantage of her, he will be hard-pressed to prevent her.
Jiang Dalong's father has always been domineering and powerful in the village, and he often bullies poor people. He can't cause trouble for his sister and parents because of himself.
"What do you want before you give up?" Jiang Yun seemed to show a hint of compromise.
Jiang Dalong started to scold him, and seemed a little surprised after hearing Jiang Yun's words. It seemed that the little bastard was born to be a bitch, and he could only be suppressed by exploiting the weaknesses of his sister and parents.
Jiang Dalong rolled his eyes and had a bad idea in his mind. He pretended to "cough" twice, with a sinister and cunning look on his face.
"It's not impossible for your parents to stop me from dealing with your sister. Aren't you very talented?" Jiang Dalong paused and glanced at the three peaks in the mountains behind the village.
"Adults all have rumors that there is a monster on the main peak in the middle of the three peaks. The monster is so fierce that anyone who climbs the main peak will be eaten by it.
So over the years, no one has dared to go to the main peak. If you have the guts and can go to the main peak alone for one night and then come down safely, I will let your sister and father go."
As soon as Jiang Dalong finished speaking, several other children, including Jiang Yun's sister Jiang Xiaoyan, showed extremely surprised expressions on their faces.
Although it is a legend, legends often hold an important weight in children's hearts.
The main peak on the mountain behind the village has always been mysterious and frightening. Anyway, since they were born, they have known that the main peak has been classified as a forbidden area by the village and no one is allowed to go up there.
They have also been warned by their family members that they cannot go up to the main peak. The legends on the main peak are more mysterious than the things in the stream.
It is said that there is a mysterious big hole on top of the main peak. The big hole is very deep, and there is a monster at the bottom. Whenever a stranger comes near, the monster will crawl out of the hole and eat everyone it sees. Anyone who goes up there will be killed.
One can escape the monster's bloody mouth.
It is said that many years ago, people in the village did not know that there were monsters on the top, so several hunters made an appointment to climb up the main peak to hunt, but there was no news after they went.
Their family members were very anxious and didn't know what happened to them up there, so they sent people up the mountain to find them.
The people who were sent organized a search team and headed to the main peak. When they climbed to the hinterland halfway up the mountain, they felt the mountain vibrate and large rocks rumbling down from the top.
Then a huge black figure rolled through the big trees. It swept across the rubble and debris, carrying a thick smell of blood. The scene turned out to be earth-shattering.
Several people were so frightened that they fled back to the village in a hurry. After returning, they fell ill and died in depression.
From then on, the legend about the monster on the main peak spread throughout the Triangle Mountain Village. From then on, no one dared to go to the main peak anymore.
After listening to Jiang Dalong's words, Jiang Yun fell into silence and did not speak. His sister Xiaoyan tugged at his clothes with her little hands, her little face was full of hatred and fear, and she kept shaking her little head to signal Jiang Yun not to agree to Jiang Dalong.
if.
Why isn't Jiang Yun afraid of the monsters on the main peak? Even if there are no monsters on the main peak, it is so deep in the mountains and forests, and there is no human habitation. Even as a ten-year-old child, he may not be able to get out if he gets into it.
He knew that Jiang Dalong had evil intentions and wanted to use external force to put him to death.
"Okay, I promise you, I will go up tonight!" Jiang Yun suddenly gritted his teeth and said decisively.
After saying this, Jiang Yun ignored Jiang Dalong and the other children, and took his sister away from the stream and walked towards the path into the village.
Several children by the stream opened their mouths in shock. After finally coming to their senses, the boy of average height stuck out his tongue:
"That brat like Jiang Yun really dares to go to the main peak? If he goes tonight, wouldn't he be going to die?"
Another boy said: "Jiang Yun is just talking, he will never dare to go up tonight."
"Tell me, is there a monster on the main peak? What if he goes and never comes back?"
It was Jiang Dalong's turn to speak. He hummed and said with a wicked smile: "It's just a good thing that the little bastard can't come back, lest I get angry every day when I see his pretty face."
At this time, the sun turned into a red sun and gradually set in the west, and the sky gradually became late. While talking, several children gathered their bamboo branches, kicked the Tianlongjing all the way, and returned to the village naughtily.
Unexpectedly, just when Jiang Dalong and others were leaving, the old fisherman across the stream suddenly raised his head and looked over. It was just that he showed up unkempt, and the night was approaching quietly, and there was no strange expression on his dark face.
.
Jiang Yun held the trampled iron bucket and bamboo branches in one hand and held his sister's little hand in the other. The brother and sister walked together in the countryside.
The night gradually falls, the fields are full of frogs and insects, and the green smoke of the villages in the distance is floating, giving people a quiet and comfortable feeling.
"Brother, are you really going to the main peak tonight?" Jiang Xiaoyan felt uneasy and worried, so she couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Yun had an uncertain look in his eyes and suddenly smiled, "Xiaoyan, brother lied to them. There is a monster on the main peak. How could brother be so stupid to go up there and wait for the monster to eat him?"
"Oh, it turns out that my brother lied to them." Xiaoyan clapped her hands happily, "Jiang Dalong is not a good person, he just can't tell the truth to them."
When my sister learned that her brother would not go to the main peak, the hanging stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
As soon as she was in a good mood, the child's temperament came out. He ran around on the field path and laughed constantly, just like a little sparrow, looking very happy.
Jiang Yun, who was walking behind, silently looked at his sister running in front, feeling the joy and happiness brought by that lively figure, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Yun's mouth.
"Sister, brother, I promise that no matter what happens in the future, I will make sure you are considerate so that you can grow up healthily and happily."
The field roads criss-crossed, and Jiang Yun and his sister finally walked towards a small thatched house in the east corner of the village. The thatched house did not occupy a large area, and some withered grass on the roof was moldy, and the walls were covered with a layer of mud made of old bamboo strips.
It looked shabby.
Dad, with a weathered look on his face, was weaving bamboo baskets in the yard on crutches. Although his legs were inconvenient, his fingers were very nimble, and the bamboo baskets danced gracefully during the winding.
My mother was taking care of the vegetables she had just picked from the field. She looked delicate and slightly pretty, but her thin face had no color at all.
It can be seen from this that the whole family lives in poverty all year round, which is very unbearable.
"Dad, Mom, we're back!" Jiang Yun was very sensible. As soon as he entered the yard, he hurriedly helped his mother sort out the vegetables. While his parents responded to Jiang Yun, they also noticed the injuries on Jiang Yun's face.
"Yun'er, I told you not to mess with that Jiang Dalong, why didn't you listen? His father is the village chief and is powerful. Poor people like us can't afford to offend him."
Before Jiang Yun could answer, Jiang Xiaoyan had already said, "Father, mother, it wasn't my brother who provoked them, it was them who deliberately came to cause trouble for us."
Jiang Xiaoyan then told everything that happened by the stream. Although she was only seven years old, she was very young, but she was very articulate and spoke clearly and logically. After a while, she organized everything by the stream.
The ins and outs of the incident were explained clearly.
After hearing this, the parents sighed, their hearts were filled with pain, and they couldn't help but shed tears. Poor people like them had no status at all, and they absolutely could not afford to offend Jiang Dalong's family. Even if their son suffered a loss and was beaten outside, they also called him
The sky should not respond and the earth should not work.
Jiang Yun didn't say anything, he just helped his mother finish the dishes very sensibly. It was completely dark, so he helped his father pack away the tools for making bamboo baskets, then he lit the fire himself and cooked dinner with his mother.
