the world

That was the second time that Luo Ye was overwhelmed by anger. Her ugly and malicious expression offended her father, who beat her as usual. Originally, he wanted to deliberately avoid Luo Ye's face.But Luo Ye fought back, pulling off a bunch of her father's beard, exposing her bloody chin, and biting her mouth, leaving a bloody mark on her father's arm.The mother was so shocked that she froze in place, and the younger brother hid behind the mother, how ridiculous.

Her father got angry and punched her directly on the face. Luo Ye felt as if her nose was broken, her whole face was flattened, and her hands seemed to be pulled out of their joints. In just a few seconds, Luo Ye Lost the ability to move.

Xiao Huang yelled loudly, jumped among them, stood in front of Luo Ye, and yelled at his crazy father without fear.

It was impossible for the 12-year-old Ruoye to beat a grown man, but she was able to frighten her father with that madness.

It was the first time in this family that someone dared to oppose his father so obviously and wildly, and his father was also dazzled by anger. He waved his fist as if he was going to kill Luo Ye, and then was bitten by Xiao Huang who rushed over He stopped, he screamed, and shook his right hand vigorously, but Xiao Huang didn't let go at all, as if his own teeth were embedded in his father's arm.

The father used his left hand to hit Xiao Huang's head again and again, and Xiao Huang's eyes on one side were bleeding, splashing drops to the ground.But even so, Xiao Huang didn't let go of his teeth, his body suspended in mid-air slowly collapsed, and finally fell to the ground.

That sound seemed to be the sound of Luo Ye's heart breaking.

Others think that keeping a dog means being loyal. No matter how small the dog is, it should stand in front of the owner without hesitation when it encounters danger. Otherwise, others will say, "What's the use of keeping this dog?"

"However, it's fine even if others say so. Shouldn't you let me protect you with such a small body? I never expected you to protect me. I just want to protect you when danger comes."

Panting heavily, the father shook off the dog's body, then walked towards Luo Ye, who had lost the highlights in his eyes, and raised his hand.

If Xiao Huang is still alive, if he is not treated like a commodity by his parents, Luo Ye will probably suppress his thoughts and just live step by step like that.

But at this time, Ruoye was lying on the bed with nothing in his heart, and when the wounds all over his body seemed to be competing for which was the most serious and aching, Ruoye thought of the brook again, and it made a melodious sound as it flowed down, and he seemed to be Follow the stream down, leave the land, and travel to unknown and exciting places.

The previous fantasies rekindled in Luo Ye's mind, trying to cover up the sadness of Xiao Huang's departure, and it intensified.

Luo Ye knew that she had a high fever.

Thinking of Xiao Huang who died to protect herself, Luo Ye struggled to take a sip of water, burning it across her dry throat, her nose let out a painful snort.

After her throat was pinched by her father, it was difficult to make a sound again.

Ruoye used to blame herself for many misfortunes. If it was her in the past, she might think that Xiao Huang died because she disobeyed her parents.But Xiao Huang's broken leg, the contemptuous eyes of her relatives, and most importantly, Xiao Huang's willingness to protect her without hesitation, let Luo Ye understand that it should not be her fault, but them.

I want to fight against them until the moment before they die, this is the meaning of my life, Luo Ye silently endured with such a tenacious sense of survival.

Because they were afraid that something would happen to Luo Ye, their parents locked Luo Ye at home.Until one day, Luo Ye heard a stranger's voice.

It seemed that people passing by wanted to borrow his house to rest.

Luo Ye couldn't see people, but she could hear their voices, and she also heard her parents plotting under the lamp.

"It's been a long time since no one has passed by our place. It's obviously not an official road... That means they must have encountered some accident on the way and had to come here."

"The people around us have moved away a few years ago. There is no one around. They seem to have a lot of troubles and are exhausted. I invite them to drink some wine during dinner, and while they are asleep..."

The parents' voices gradually lowered.

Afterwards, Ruo Ye heard the sound of several people walking around, and the next step would be the parents entertaining those visitors.

No, I have to remind those people that the wine has been drugged and cannot be drunk!

Thinking of this, Luo Ye dragged her heavy body and bumped against the wall one after another, trying to attract the attention of the guests. She had tried her best, but her scarred body couldn't move as Luo Ye thought.

Some people questioned the muffled sound, which was quickly covered up by their parents.

Luo Ye knocked her head against the wall in hatred and made a loud noise, regardless of the blood flowing all over her face, but she still didn't get any response.

It's obviously someone who is right in front of me, but I can't save him?Luo Ye's heart was full of emptiness and hatred, she whimpered and cried, her injured vocal cords made an ugly sound like being torn.

In the middle of the night, what Ruo Ye heard was the screams of her parents and the cheerful laughter of the warriors.

"Hahaha, I just said that these two people are idiots, so stupid that they will attack us."

A strong smell of blood rushed into his nostrils, the door was knocked open, and several tall figures appeared in the dark night.

"Ah! What is this? Is it a monster?"

It was actually those warriors who came, and they had obviously turned their backs on customers.

No one cleaned Luo Ye's wound, the smell of sweat mixed with mud and wound infection was really not pleasant.Dry hair was piled behind her like a haystack, her nose was crooked, her eyes were swollen, she crawled on the ground, and could only make an unpleasant growl.

"Haha, what is this, don't tell me this is a girl too."

Severe pain ran through Luo Ye's body, and the leader drew his knife and stabbed Luo Ye's body without hesitation.

"The owner of this house is a person with sinister intentions. It is not an exaggeration to raise monsters such as mountain ghosts. It smells really bad..."

"So you can still recognize monsters?" The tone was surprising.

"Isn't such a disgusting person the same as a monster?"

"But she...forget it, forget it."

The group of people walked out, the door was just opened casually, the wind blew over from the door, it was very cold, very cold, this was probably one of the effects of blood loss.

Ruoye couldn't hold back her tears, she cried out, every time she sobbed, the knife wound on her abdomen would be touched, and more blood gushed out.

What a ridiculous thing to be killed by the person you want to save.

When Luo Ye saw her parents' corpses, she also found it ridiculous. She was so scared to death, and her parents who valued her so much were just fools in the eyes of those warriors, yes, they were just two fools.What about yourself?Are you a fool yourself?It should be, even if he will be beaten to death if he is caught, he should have escaped from this house with Xiao Huang in his arms.Even if he dies on the road, he dies for himself.

But Luo Ye really doesn't want to die, now.

I want to live on!Because my life was saved by Xiao Huang, because of the gentle Xiao Huang...Because you regard my life so important, making me feel that my worthless life is actually valuable...

Because Xiao Huang, you helped me, so I always try my best to help others, to help those innocent people, why... do I always meet bad people?

Was the thatch of the roof blown away by the wind?Why can I see the starry sky?

Taki Wakaba, whose pupils gradually became dilated, saw the blurry starry sky and the falling, shining stars.

Legend has it that wishing on a shooting star can come true, and the stars bring blessings and curses at the same time.

The stars listen to the wishes of the people, but one voice overrides all others.

"I want to live."

"It's so strange that a new maid was recruited so quickly."

"Yeah, she's just a country girl, and she's quite diligent in her work, much better than the 'gone' character."

"She's here, let's go, let her do the work here, let's go to rest first." The maid threw away the broom in her hand, and waved to Luo Ye, "Well—what's your name? ? Come here and sweep the floor here, we have other things to do."

The other maid was still sweeping the floor, and the maid who proposed to go to rest knew her temper, so she made a puzzled expression and left.

Luo Ye didn't say much, she took the broom on the ground, and continued the unfinished work in silence.

"Your name is Ruoye. I'm Hong, the maid. You can call me Hong."

"You remember my name?"

"At first, I thought that newcomers would come on the bench for at least one month. You are really just like what they said, a country girl."

Originally, Luo Ye thought that when Hong introduced her name, she should have a friendly attitude, but her cold words just now didn't seem like that.

"I did live in the country all the time before, and there is nothing to say about it. I can find a job in Heianjing, and I am already very satisfied."

"Working in other places is hard work at best, but working here is risking your life, just like the maid you replaced before, who was executed by the master because she said a wrong sentence."

"Is this kind of thing... very common among nobles?"

"As a maid, it's not good to go on. I've been working here for two years, and of course I know a lot more than you, and there's still one more year to go. I just want to go home safely. You're the same Think about it?" Hong's eyes were a little sharp.

"I'm not afraid of death, besides, I'm already homeless." Ruo Ye looked at the sky, as if there was something interesting there, Hong followed suit, it was just the calm blue sky.

"I can see people who say 'not afraid of death'! In fact, everyone will be terrified when there is a line between death and death. Even if your parents are gone, you will marry in the future, and you will also be married at that time. There is a place to go, don't you yearn for that future?" Hong sighed.
