lucky to meet

Gongsun Yu, "He was dragged into an illusion by Brother Zhou."

In the yard, Xia Yi was sitting on the steps, and Xiao Mingyu, who was sitting next to him, was seriously peeling the grass roots in his hands.Xia Yi understands this situation, and he has entered his brother Yu's illusion again.

Unlike last time, he did not enter Xiao Mingyu's body, but directly became an invisible person.

Xiao Mingyu is a year or two older than last time, Xia Yi estimated that she is eight years old!His complexion was sallow, and he looked malnourished.what happened?

"Mingyu." A familiar voice came from outside the door, and Zhou Mingyu's mother, Zhou Rong, came in from the door.

Xia Yi stood up, frowning together, Zhou Rong was much thinner than last time.She clasped her hands tightly to her chest, as if there was something precious there.

"Mother." Xiao Mingyu hugged Zhou Rong and raised her little hand to show his mother the stripped grass roots in his hand.

"Ming Yu is so good." Zhou Rong closed the door and led Xiao Ming Yu into the bedroom, and stretched out her index finger to her mouth and softly hissed.He took out a fist-sized piece of cassava from his pocket.

Xia Yi turned around and went out, walked around the village and found a cruel thing, there was a drought here.No wonder Xiao Mingyu looked malnourished, no wonder Zhou was thin like that.

Back in the bedroom, Zhou Rong was cutting off a small piece of raw cassava with a knife and handing it to Xiao Mingyu. Xiao Mingyu shook her head and pointed to Zhou Rong. Zhou Rong smiled and shook her head, picked up the grass roots on the table and said, "Be good. "

Xiao Mingyu swallowed a small piece of cassava in small mouthfuls, Zhou Rong hid the rest of the cassava, picked up the grass root that Xiao Mingyu had peeled on the table, and swallowed it with difficulty.

Xia Yi stood by the window, watching the mother and son lying on the bed after dinner.Zhou Rong told Xiao Mingyu a story about the first time she and Wu Kuangyu met.

For some reason, Zhou Rong, who rarely mentioned Wu Kuangyu, talked a lot about Wu Kuangyu's past.Xiao Mingyu opened her big eyes and listened carefully.

Under the moonlight outside the window, Xia Yi sat in front of the table and looked at the grass roots on the table, the mother and son on the bed had already fallen asleep!Do you know how long this drought lasted?

This is the northernmost part of the state of Zhou.

Droughts often occur, there is no food to eat, and the harvest is poor. Many people fall into the grass and become bandits, often looting their homes.

Pingliang City is half a month away. Many people from various villages fled to Pingliang City, but they were all driven back.

In the quiet night without the sound of insects chirping, Xia Yi always had a lingering fear in his heart.

The sudden shout woke up the mother and son, and also woke up Xia Yi. The voice gradually became clear, "Hand over the food? Hurry up."

It's horse thieves, they don't have to worry about it anymore, all of them are hungry and frightened.

"Damn it, after a few villages, there's only so much food to eat, it's not enough to fit between the teeth!"

"Get up, what to sleep, hand over the food."

Hearing the sound getting closer, the sound of crying and shouting rang out.Zhou Rong decisively hid Xiao Mingyu in the debris pile in the yard.

"Don't move, don't make a sound, no matter what happens, don't move. Mother will come as soon as she goes." The gentle voice was full of love, Zhou Rong touched Xiao Mingyu's face, covered the sundries, turned and left the courtyard gate .

"We have nothing to eat, even if you kill us."

"Damn, don't you take it out?" The sound of the knife cutting through the meat stimulated the nerves.

Hungry, so hungry, all the horse thieves have red eyes from hunger.

"Kill, kill them, a bunch of trash." The leading horse thief fiercely rushed towards the unarmed crowd.

The sound of slashing and begging for mercy kept coming into Xiao Mingyu's ears. He was afraid of hearing his mother's voice. He wanted to go out to have a look, but his mother told him that he couldn't go out.

"Mother!" Xiao Mingyu moved his lips silently, fear was growing in his heart.

Xia Yi stood by the sundries, her hands tightly clutching the sleeves on both sides.

The massacre outside came to an end, and the leading horse thief spat at the corpse on the ground and cursed, "Fuck it, it seems that there is really nothing to eat."

"Brother, what should we do? If we can't find anything to eat, everyone will starve to death."

"I don't fucking know." While cursing, he kicked the horse thief hard.

The horse thief who was kicked was so hungry that he took a few steps back after being kicked like this, and fell to the ground, the torch in his hand fell on the corpse.

The smell of meat is mixed with the smell of burning, which is impacting people's reason.The sound of swallowing saliva makes people more hungry.

The horse thief who was kicked to the ground stammered, "Big, big, big brother... this... also, meat...".

Boom, Xia Yi's head went blank at that moment, trembling started from the fingertips and spread to the whole body.

I don't know how long it has passed, and I don't know if the horse thief has left. The surroundings are eerily quiet, and there is a tempting smell of meat in the air.Xiao Mingyu swallowed her saliva, and carefully climbed out of the debris pile,

Through the cracks in the courtyard wall, you can see the outside scene.

Xiao Mingyu approached the gap, suddenly paused, and then tightly covered her lips with both hands to prevent herself from making a sound, her body shook violently uncontrollably.

Xia Yi half knelt behind Xiao Mingyu, wanted to hug him, wanted to take him away from this place, but he couldn't touch him.

"Ah..." Xia Yi cried out, but he didn't belong here, they couldn't hear his voice, and Xiao Mingyu didn't know his existence.This is Zhou Mingyu's past, everything he has experienced.

Outside the gap is a hell on earth, that person with red eyes is like a ghost, scrambling to eat the pieces of meat in the cauldron.

That was, Xiao Mingyu suddenly saw a piece of clothing exposed from a pile of bloody clothes, it was... Mother's...

Xiao Mingyu stared blankly at the corner of the clothes, and stopped thinking at that moment.

I don't know when it ended, the horse thieves withdrew and set fire to the village. Fire can burn away the traces left behind and erase the crimes that happened here.

The light of the fire reflected in Xiao Mingyu's eyes, slowly turning into her mother's appearance, Xiao Mingyu woke up abruptly, with only one thought in her mind, run, go anywhere, run, get out of here.

Boom, boom, thunder and lightning in the sky.Xiao Mingyu kept running forward, was knocked down, got up again, and continued to run.

Thunder and lightning, heavy rain.Xiao Mingyu got into a small hole under a hillside, the small hole was just big enough to hold him.

Xiao Mingyu hugged his knees with both hands, and the heavy rain hit half of his body.He tried desperately to drill into the small hole, but the hole was only that big.

Xia Yi stood in front of the cave, trying to protect Xiao Mingyu from the wind and rain.The rain passed through him and hit Xiao Mingyu on the face.Xia Yi punched the soil on the slope with his fist, but he couldn't feel any pain in his fist.

In Pingliang City, Xia Yi followed Xiao Mingyu through the streets and alleys.When I was hungry, I found some leftovers thrown away by big hotel owners. Occasionally, some well-meaning people looked at him for pity, and gave him a copper coin, or bought him a steamed bun.When you are sleepy, just find a place to huddle up and lie down to sleep.

Xiao Mingyu was very quiet. After that day, he didn't say a word.Being bullied, he just silently got up from the ground and continued to move forward.

Xia Yi didn't know where he was going!

Does he have somewhere to go?

Exit the west gate of Pingliang City and walk forward all the way.Xia Yi was counting the days every day, and they entered a forest after 42 days.

At night, there are calls of wild animals from time to time.In the corner of a hillside in Xiao Mingyu's nest, the corner is full of grass, which wraps his small body.

It rained in the middle of the night, and the rain turned that corner into a small puddle.Half of Xiao Mingyu's body was soaked in the water, her big eyes were opened, and after a while, they closed again.

If this continues, even if he is not starved to death, he will die of illness.

Sure enough, on the second day, Xiao Mingyu just stood up, took two steps, and then fell forward.Xia Yi's eyes went dark, she felt dizzy and was about to fall down, when she found herself awake again, but the scene changed.

In the cave, Xiao Mingyu was lying in front of the fire, and sitting opposite him was a man and a woman. Xia Yi knew them. They were Chen Lingyu and her father, Uncle Chen.

It turned out that they knew each other that way.

Chen Lingyu was roasting a rabbit in her hand, "Wake up!"

Xiao Mingyu sat up, confused for a moment when she appeared in the cave, and watched the fire silently with her knees crossed.

"Eat!" Chen Lingyu handed over the rabbit in his hand and said softly.

Xiao Mingyu shrank back and buried the lower half of her face in her arms.

Chen Lingyu didn't know what happened to him. When they arrived, the village had been reduced to ashes.To Xiao Mingyu's reaction, she thought, it might be because his mother died under the robber's knife in order to save him, so he was hostile to everyone.

"We won't hurt you. I'm sorry, we're late. Eat something!" Seeing that Xiao Mingyu still didn't move, and Chen Lingyu had never coaxed a child before, she didn't know what to do next, so she thought for a while and said, "In the future, We are a family, I am your elder sister and you are my younger brother. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, I will chop him up and feed him to the fish."

Xiao Mingyu's body trembled, and her face turned pale again.Chen Lingyu knew that she had said something wrong, so she closed her mouth.

"Your father was kind to me. I vowed to follow him and do my best, but he refused. After he died, I found out that he had a queen. I asked everywhere about the whereabouts of you and your mother, but in the end One step late, I am ashamed of my benefactor." Uncle Chen stood up and walked to the cave entrance with his hands behind his back, "Your father died at the hands of your uncle, do you want to take revenge? Your mother took you around to avoid your enemies and died at the robber's knife Excuse me, do you want to take revenge? Think, I will try my best to teach you how to practice, if not, I will take you far away from here, and buy you a house, so that you will have no worries in this life."

There was silence in the cave, only the sound of firewood burning.After a while, Xiao Mingyu stood up and walked to Chen Lingyu's
