The person who opened the cupboard was An. Before Yu He could speak, he was caught and put into a backpack.
It turned out that Ann had packed her things a long time ago and was ready to leave at any time.
"Don't you need to talk to the store manager? What if he gets angry? Will he deduct wages?" Yu He poked his head out and asked inexplicably.
An twitched the corner of her mouth, unusually indifferent: "Who cares about him."
It would be great if the store manager stopped cooperating with them because of this.
In the evening, people coming and going in the market, the sound of yelling and selling, and the aroma of various delicacies all attracted Yu He to poke his head out.
The excitement also shows that there are many people around. Yu He knows that she is very strange now, and she dare not show up easily, so she can only hold her curiosity and open her eyes wide in her backpack.
Suddenly, a pair of hands pinched him out, and he fell into the small pocket on Ann's chest.Through the thin cloth, he could clearly hear Ann's heartbeat, as well as her distinctive and lively body temperature.
What surprised Yu He more than the sudden move was that there was a small slit in the small pocket he was in.
The area is not big, and he can just see the outside scene through the gap when he is sitting.
"An, why are your clothes torn?" Yu He asked strangely.
An responded casually: "It was accidentally scratched just now."
"Then you should mend it sooner." Although Yu He said so, her eyes kept poking out, the hole was in a perfect location.He didn't have to deliberately adjust his sitting posture, nor did he have to hide, which he liked very much.
Ann didn't speak, but a response escaped from her throat, which sounded a little careless.Or maybe it was because he was still young, his voice sounded a little gentle and submissive, without the usual indifference and indifference.
The sales method of the market is very primitive. The items to be sold by the farmers are directly displayed. The cattle, sheep, chickens and dogs bark continuously. Not far away, there are jugglers performing on the street, which arouses cheers.
Hearing the applause over there, Yu He stood up curiously, but staggered and fell because the material of the fabric was too soft to support it.He thought he was covering it up well, but Ann still noticed it.
"Want to see it?"
"Do not want to."
Even though he said that, his low and soft voice was full of anticipation, obviously he was thinking too much.
It's still early in the day, and Ann still has things to do, so going to a juggling show to satisfy Xia Yuhe's curiosity is not a bad idea.
An walked through the crowd. He was upright and handsome. Although his brows and eyes were a bit immature, his temperament was better than that of a calm demeanor. He attracted the attention of many people along the way.It is also very easy for him to enter the forefront of viewing, but he is afraid of scaring Yu He from being too close, so he stands a little farther away.
"Only for a while," Ann said.
The juggler in front of him was wearing a vest, and his strong dark muscles bulged out vigorously. After turning over nimbly, orange flames sprayed from his lips, attracting applause from many people.
Even after a distance, Yu He's shoulders were still shrunk in fright, but his eyes were wide open again, looking scared and eager to see.
Just when Yu He wanted to get closer to see more clearly, a piercing and sharp laughter came from the side: "Come again, come again!"
Childish and arrogant, Yu He looked over in a daze, and saw a little boy wearing a beret as expected.
It was also the one who had watched him, frightened him, and bullied him at the door of the cupboard.
The mood that was still joyful and joyful suddenly fell, and I lost the desire to continue to look down. I reached out to grab Ann's pocket, and said softly, as if afraid of being heard: "I've finished reading, let's go."
Not right.
Although Yu He is timid, he is playful and curious.He was the one who wanted to listen to horror storybooks before, was so scared that he shed tears, and he was the one who insisted on clinging to An while sleeping.
An responded, and felt a sinking in her chest pocket, it should be Yu He lying down.This pocket is not big, and it cannot allow Yu He to lie down completely.
He curled himself up.
Under normal circumstances, Yu He would only do this when he was afraid or wronged, because he lacked a sense of security.
An raised her eyes and scanned for a week, her gaze gradually froze, and she found it.
After An exited the crowd, she didn't leave immediately. Instead, she wandered around in front of some small stalls, looking at the colorful goods. Yu He sat up slowly again, and put her head on it for a closer look.
She didn't make a sound, she was so cute.
The slow-witted Yu He also realized that something was wrong, this was not the way home at all, because it was An who lost his way, he hurriedly reminded: "You seem to be going the wrong way."
"Really?" Ann said, "This way is also possible."
The road back home was sparsely populated and not so lively at all, and Yu He was not a fool, so of course he could hear An's perfunctory meaning.
He glanced at the sky sadly, if he didn't go home again, it would be dark.
But An's casual attitude made Yu He very dissatisfied, he curled up softly again, closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.Before he fell asleep, Ann's footsteps suddenly accelerated.
An ear-piercing exclamation just rose, and then turned into a low muffled sound, and there were faint and trivial movements of struggling.
He opened his eyes and looked out through the crack of the hole, his lips parted in astonishment.
The little boy who bullied him just now was being pressed against the wall by An, covering his lips. The boy's arrogant and vicious expression was replaced by panic.
"You know you're afraid too?"
An's voice was very calm, and it was precisely because it was too calm, it was especially like the calm before the sudden surge of the sea, "When you scare others, why don't you know how to be afraid."
The boy whimpered for a long time, and tears dripped continuously on the back of Ann's hand, which drew a look of disgust.An didn't feel soft because of this: "It's fun to peek under the skirt, isn't it?"
The little boy was terrified. He just went home normally. When he turned into the alley, the man suddenly covered his mouth and nose.Thinking that the other party was a perverted murderer or a human trafficker, he turned pale with fright and was extremely embarrassed.
An really hated children. He was the one who did something wrong, so what right did he have to cry so badly.
It is very contradictory to say that Yu He has also done something wrong, and looked at people with a tearful and pitiful look, but it is different.
totally different.
Such Yu He is very cute, even lovable, making An just want to coax her in a low voice.
Too lazy to talk nonsense with the other party, An Qiangli lifted the boy, pulled his pants away, and threw nothing left into the trash can. He also thoughtfully helped him pick up the beret, and put it on him under the sight of the boy's red eyes. on the head.
When Yu He came back to his senses, An had already gone a long way, and now his head was in a mess, full of An's words threatening the little boy.
The little boy was so frightened that he urinated, and shivered in place with his naked lower part. An did not soften his heart, but his attitude became more cold and impatient.
That kind of Ann is too strange, harsh, ruthless, cold, and even bad.
Yu He has never seen such a bad Ann.
"Are you hungry?"
An suddenly made a sound, Yu He was stunned, and hummed indiscriminately.The small pocket was lifted a little, and while the sunset was pouring in, it also allowed Yu He to see An's clear jaw line.
A small piece of broken biscuit was brought in, and Ann said: "There is no water now, and if you eat too many biscuits, you will get thirsty." So I only gave a little bit.
Yu He took it obediently, bowed his head and took two bites, still curious: "Are you looking for him specifically?"
"No."
Before Yu He could say anything, An's tone sank, "Why didn't you make a sound when you were being bullied? Are you an idiot? Stay there and let others bully you?"
Ann only read a book for a while today, when he heard the sound of the glass cabinet being violently hit. He went out to find the kid to settle the score at the first time, but saw another picture.
A distinguished and elegant man ordered a group of well-trained men to disperse the crowd and surround the venue.Some people were dissatisfied with the domineering behavior of men, and immediately silenced after seeing the badges on their clothing.
Next, the man used his ability to cool down the cabinet.
What a luxury.
The number of times each awakened person can use the ability is limited, they need to store energy, and this man actually used the precious opportunity to use the ability for such a trivial matter.
More envy and jealousy than surprise.Why is it not me who is envious of people with supernatural powers? I am jealous that I can't bring such preferential treatment to Yu He.
He is weak and useless, eager to become strong.
Yu He, who was still soaked in warm care, was suddenly murdered. The movement of eating the biscuit was still there, holding the biscuit with both hands and said aggrievedly: "I worked very hard today. You don't praise me, you still attack me..."
You don't need to look at the extended ending and the pitiful tone, An can imagine Yu He's expression.
"I didn't blame you, it's just that you are too obedient today, you don't need to be so obedient." Ann's tone gradually slowed down, paused for a moment, and the words that came out were very soft, "I'm blaming myself."
"If I were stronger, you wouldn't be bullied, and you wouldn't have to... work so hard."
Grabbing Yu He, who was trying to escape, and holding it in the palm of his hand, An raised his arms very high, and the two of them were almost at eye level."I don't want you to work so hard," he said.
"Then you become stronger quickly, and I don't have to work so hard." Yu He couldn't understand many words, so he could only answer the parts he could understand, "When the time comes, you will buy me a lot of delicious food. Is it?"
"meeting."
"Will I live in a big house?"
"meeting."
Ann said: "Whatever you want, I will give you."
But Anbi knows better than anyone that it is too difficult for him to stand out as an ordinary person, unless he is a [potential person] and can awaken supernatural powers.
At that time, regardless of wealth or status, he will have it.
At that time, he could protect his loved ones, as well as this stupid doll in front of him.
Yu He, who got the promise, was very happy. This road is sparsely populated, and he didn't want to put it back in his pocket, so he acted like a baby and let An just hold him like this.An also followed suit all the way regardless of his own sore hands.
A long way from the gate, they saw Diane looking around.
Dai Ni came trotting all the way with her skirt in hand, carefully observing Yu He's mental state: "Is your work going well today? No one bullied you, right?"
An didn't evade Diane's scrutiny, but Yu He obediently replied: "No. An also took me to a juggling show. That man is so powerful that he can breathe fire."
Seeing that the two got along fairly well, the big stone in Dai Ni's heart finally fell to the ground.She took Yu He over and said, "I made you a new dress, let's try it on."
Dai Ni made a relatively complicated dress for Yu He, and Yu He took a lot of effort to put it on.
The sky blue color makes his skin white and bright, amplifying the greenness and pure emotion in him.
Dai Ni stared at it for a long time, but couldn't return to her senses for a long time.
"Diani," Yu He lay beside Diani's hand, her dense eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyes, "When will I grow up?"
If the dolls want to grow up, they must eat human-flavored food. They dare not feed Yu He, fearing that Yu He will become addicted or have other uncontrollable side effects.
In addition, Yu He's appearance is too outstanding, if he grows up, he will definitely attract the covetousness of people with malicious intentions.
They don't have the ability to protect Yu He. In comparison, the current Yu He is the safest.
"Do you want to grow up?" Dani asked softly after thinking for a moment.
Yu He was depressed: "I'm too young, I don't want to be taken care of all the time."
At such a young age, he needs to be watched for many things, otherwise he may be in danger.
Just like today's little boy, if he was older, he would be able to beat the other party severely, instead of crying aggrievedly like today.
"But I don't mind taking care of you. Only those who truly love you will be willing to take care of you unconditionally." Dai Ni smiled, "You are fine like this, and I don't think you are a burden."
Yu He asked, "Then do you love me?"
"Of course, you are my family, and I love my family very much." Diane said again, "But you will meet another person in the future. Before that, you were strangers and had no relationship. But he is willing to take care of you." You, treat you unconditionally, and protect you without asking for anything in return."
Yu He listened very carefully, and after a long while, he still mumbled, "I don't understand."
"You'll understand sooner or later, we're not different. You're just slower, wait a little longer, and you'll understand these things." Diane coaxed him, "he'll kiss you then , he will fall in love with you, he will love you the most."
With his small ears pricked up, he nodded seriously, half knowing that he had insomnia for the first time, tossing and turning unable to fall asleep.
Dai Ni's work and rest are very regular, and now she has fallen into a deep sleep, carefully climbing out of the basket, Yu He is walking outside, the house is very dark, and every step he takes is very cautious.
The light cast from the side illuminates the little him, he looks up at the person, Anzheng leans against the door frame and looks down at him: "What are you running around for?"
"I want to hug and sleep." Yu He blinked, without much begging, as if she had expected that Ann would not reject him.
Ann did not refuse him.
This day, Yu He was lying near An's collarbone, and felt that the bone was too hard, so she crawled down and lay on her chest.
An let Yu He lie on his stomach like this.
Yu He is too tired today, the warm body temperature belonging to another person can comfort him to a certain extent, and the intimate skin-to-skin contact also gives him a certain sense of security.
It seemed that only with such a close hug, no one would bully him, and he was protected.
When Yu He was about to fall asleep, he suddenly felt that he was being picked up and put down. Before he could open his eyes, a hot touch fell on the swirl of hair.
The moment she opened her eyes, An's complexion changed drastically, her cheeks and behind her ears were flushed with astonishing speed, her eyes dodged and drifted, full of embarrassment of being caught on the spot.
Ann kissed him.
Or steal a kiss while he was asleep.
Yu He couldn't understand the meaning behind this gesture, but he still remembered what Diani said to him, so he asked, "Do you like me, that's why you kissed me?" Diani said, only people who really like me would do this , what are you going to do next? Do you want to kiss me?"
The red tide became more and more intense, as if An was soaked into a paint bucket, as long as the exposed skin was covered with abnormal red.
Upon closer inspection, it is not difficult to find that his fingers are trembling, and his tone is also erratic and unnatural: "Kissing does not mean liking."
Diane said that people who are in love will kiss, but Ann said that kissing does not mean liking.
It's so hard to understand.
Yu He, who was trying to figure it out, had her beautiful facial features tangled up in a snow-white ball, which made her even cuter.
An unconsciously raised the corner of her mouth and reached out to tap his forehead. The shoulders of Yu He, who was so shocked and thoughtful, raised his head and glared fiercely.
"Go to bed, it's late. Stupid."
Yu He wanted to refute, he was not stupid, he just thought slowly.Many things can be understood as long as he is willing to think and think over and over again.
Like Diane said, he was just dull, not stupid.
Yu He raised her head ferociously: "You are the idiot!" After speaking, he buried his face in An's chest, and refused to lift it up again.
Not long after lying down, there was a very soft knock on the door, and Yu He, who thought it was Diani, urged An to open the door quickly.
The person who opened the door was not Diane, but John with a cautious expression.
John was sneaky, he sneaked in after the door opened, his movements were tiptoe, not like a father entering his son's room, more like a thief.
"The store told me that someone offered a very high price to buy a doll!" The deliberately lowered voice could not restrain the ecstasy in his heart.
The unexpected news made An froze, and he didn't dare to look back at Yu He's expression. He wanted to pull John out to speak.But John was extremely dissatisfied: "What are you going out for? What if your sister hears about it? Didn't we agree to keep Diane from it? Diani is just a fool who treats dolls like family members."
"father!"
"Where did I say it wrong? Dolls are cursed by God [sin], they have no feelings, and they can't understand human feelings. They are dirty, mean, shameless, promiscuous... But I didn't expect that this It was only the first day, and someone unexpectedly took a fancy to him. This buyer is very rich, he is [Awakened], and I heard that he is a big shot..."
Ann couldn't listen anymore, he didn't expect this day to come so soon, or in this way.
For a long time, he has been looking for the most appropriate and most suitable time and solution, but he is still very young and does not have enough experience, so it is difficult to think of a solution for both.
After dragging John out of the room, he turned his head subconsciously, and saw the aggrieved expression that was a little dazed, so ignorant that it was almost ignorant.
Yu He is sad.
An suddenly stopped and said calmly, "Dad, we can't sell Yu He."
"He is not like what the Holy See said, he has feelings, but their way of understanding feelings is different from humans, as long as they are given a little more time, they are no different from us." An's throat moved slightly, and he said with difficulty, "I don't want to Sell him, I want to keep him."
"Are you crazy?!" John felt ridiculous, "If you don't sell it, what will happen to your tuition? What will happen to our big house?"
An: "I stopped going to school. I figured it out. The Holy See's assessment is nothing. The knowledge in the textbooks is full of loopholes. Regarding dolls, I suspect that the Holy See has brainwashed the residents."
"Dolls don't have that powerful magical power at all. Human beings are attracted by their own lack of concentration. They suffer the consequences of their own desires, but attribute their sins to the dolls. There is nothing wrong with the dolls. If you have to say something wrong, it is wrong. Meet this group of men who only know how to shirk responsibility."
John's complexion changed drastically, his eyes were like copper bells, and he patrolled the spot hastily. After making sure that no one was eavesdropping outside, he lowered his voice and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! There is no way to pass the test."
"I don't care. I'm going to make money, a lot of money, I believe I have the ability..." An didn't have a chance to finish her sentence, and she received a loud and powerful slap on the face.
Yu He, who was peeking inside, turned pale with fright, and An'an was knocked off the door frame, making a deafening noise, and the already unstable door was swinging back and forth.
An slowly stood up straight and wiped away the blood oozing from the corner of her mouth: "Am I wrong? The Holy See said that no one can resist the seduction of a doll. So, Dad, why are you still right after so many days? Is Yu He hostile? If what the Holy See said is true, you should have been bewitched and seduced long ago, instead of wholeheartedly trying to sell him for profit."
Although John is middle-aged, he is still handsome, and the years have left many marks on his face.At that moment, he was so angry that his lips trembled, and he pointed at An for a long time without doing anything, with a utterly disappointed expression.
At this moment, Dai Ni also rushed over, and she shouted loudly: "I disagree! I don't agree to sell Yu He, our house should not be obtained by him!"
Ann said, "I'll make my own money, and I'll make a lot of money. Daddy, don't sell him...please."
"Didn't you promise well before? You lied to Diani with me, why are you going back on your word now? Didn't you always know that he was going to be sold?"
A pair of sons and daughters confronted him at the same time, John's eyes were a little red, and he was angry.After that, he sneered: "What's the use if you don't agree? The buyer has already paid, and he will come to pick up the doll soon."
"He is an [Awakened] with supernatural powers, do you think you can stop him?"
The two hit a bolt from the blue at the same time.
Ann was the first to react. He immediately ran into the room and put Yu He into a small backpack, put some change and biscuits in it, and then handed the backpack to Diani: "Take him away first." , I’ll have a good talk with Dad.”
The most obedient youngest son had never disobeyed him so much. John was so angry that he almost jumped, copied a chair from the side, and wanted to smash Ann's body.
An also didn't hide at all, relying on her flesh and blood to block the attack from her father and cover Diani's escape from the window.
Before closing the window, under the bright moonlight, An saw Yu He struggling to hold back tears.
He obviously suffered a lot of grievances, he knew that he was going to be sold out, he knew that he had been deceived these days, he didn't get hysterical or questioned loudly, but swallowed his anger and digested it by himself.
Fragile but beautiful.
How could he be as heinous as described by the Holy See?
The sound of the wooden chair falling apart was so clear in the night, John's disappointed and distressed cursing, and the chaotic sound of the wooden house crumbling as if it would disintegrate at any time, intertwined into a nightmarish movement.
Yu He's face was already wet, and he asked tremblingly, "Will he be beaten to death?"
Diane's voice wasn't much better. She had never seen John snort, and it was the first time she had seen John get so angry.But she was still comforting herself: "No, nothing will happen..."
They hadn't run far when they heard Ann's scream. Even after trying their best to restrain it, this painful and forbearing voice seemed so cold after being soaked by the night wind.
Dai Ni put down her backpack and said anxiously, "Can you stay alone for a while? I have to go back and have a look, otherwise Ann will be beaten to death."
But Diane didn't dare to take Yu He back. She was afraid that John would attack Yu He. This area is relatively desolate. As long as Yu He doesn't run around, she shouldn't be picked up.
……Maybe.
Diane gritted her teeth, she wasn't sure herself, she was too entangled.When she picked up Yu He, it was also in a desolate corner.
Maybe the next person will pick up Yu He like her.
Yu He said in a low voice: "Can I go together? Actually, it doesn't matter if I...be sold."
As we spoke, tears fell again.
He doesn't want to be sold out, and he doesn't want to be with strangers, he likes Diane, he likes to cling to Diane.
Dai Ni took out all the things in the backpack, threw the backpack in the corner, stuffed Yu He and other bits and pieces into her pocket, and said in a crisp voice, "I won't let you be sold, you are our family. "
When Diani ran all the way, under the rustling of the grass and the rustling of the swaying branches, Yu He called "sister" in a daze, just like Ann called Diani.
But the voice was so soft that no one could hear it except himself.
Things that I hadn't thought of before, seem to be understood now.
No wonder An Hui suddenly treated him well, no wonder An Hui was willing to sleep with him, and later kissed him because he wanted to sell him.
After the problem that had been bothering him was figured out, he was not so happy, but a little sad.
Now Yu He has a new problem. Since Ann and John agreed to sell him, why did Ann go back on his word?Why?
He has always liked to use his brain to think, but now he doesn't want to know.
I don't want to use my brain, I don't want to think.
so tired.
After returning to the cabin, Yu He was apprehensive and nervous. He held his breath, as if he would be found if he breathed a little louder.Cautiously hiding, he poked his head out again under Diani's exclamation.
Under the moonlight, Yu He's face was pale, but An was covered in blood, and the bright red color stuck to his pale and blue-gray skin. He looked lifeless like a corpse without a soul.
John continued to punch and kick him.
Yu He opened her lips, but she couldn't make a sound, her throat was blocked by something heavy, and she was nailed to the spot.
He has never seen such a picture before, the most primitive violence, the brutal and vulgar one-sided beating, the strong smell of blood...
He is afraid.
But at this moment, An was still winking at him, mouthing silently——go away.
Sensing Yu He's existence, John wanted to turn around and catch Diani. Diani was also frightened by the scene in front of her, and took two steps back. On the one hand, she was worried about her younger brother, and on the other hand, she was afraid of being caught...
"Why are you running? That's [Awakened]! If I can't hand over the doll, do you know what will happen to us? In their eyes, existence like us is just ants, ants that can be executed at will!"
Diani cried and shook her head, still covering her pockets and refusing to hand over Yu He.But she couldn't stop John at all, and Yu He was still held high.
The dizzy Yu He trembled in fear, lowered his head and glanced down, it was so high...
Harsh cries, pale moonlight, bright red blood, ferocious violence...
Silver frost and snow slowly extended from a distance, like a poisonous snake attacking its own territory inch by inch, and the surrounding ground condensed into cold ice crystals.
John, who was still baring his teeth and claws just now, is frozen there like a sculpture, and he still maintains the previous image of holding Yu He up high.
From the deep darkness, a tall and tall figure slowly walked out. Everywhere he went, there were crackling sounds. His steps were calm and his expression was calm.
This face is not considered young, about 30 years old, and the precipitation of the years has made him look more elegant and charming.When he walked in front of Yu He, he glanced at John rather dissatisfied, and immediately held Yu He in his palm cherishingly.
Yu He fell into the man's hand, shrank her legs hastily, tears fell uncontrollably, but stubbornly did not make a sound.
"Sorry, I seem to have scared you."
The man showed deep regret and guilt, took out the small cushion prepared in advance, and placed it under Yu He's body, so that he could sit more comfortably.
The subordinates behind him stepped forward to set up the venue one after another, and within a short while, an exquisite and small ice and snow castle appeared in front of them.
The man placed Yu He on the balcony of the castle, then took half a step back, and made a gentleman's salute in front of Yu He, and said gently: "Please allow me to introduce myself, I am [Granlia] The current patriarch of the family, Tang—"
"It's also your husband who is about to get married."
Ann's complexion changed suddenly.
[Granlia] is a well-known [Awakened] family in the small town. The leader Tang is young and handsome, 32 years old. His behavior is gentle and gentle, but his methods of controlling people are extremely cold-blooded and ruthless.
There were frequent internal struggles in the family. He took away the power of the family in a short period of time, developed his own power, and firmly sat on the position of patriarch.
Most importantly, Tang also has a son who is coveting the position of patriarch!
It turned out that Ann had packed her things a long time ago and was ready to leave at any time.
"Don't you need to talk to the store manager? What if he gets angry? Will he deduct wages?" Yu He poked his head out and asked inexplicably.
An twitched the corner of her mouth, unusually indifferent: "Who cares about him."
It would be great if the store manager stopped cooperating with them because of this.
In the evening, people coming and going in the market, the sound of yelling and selling, and the aroma of various delicacies all attracted Yu He to poke his head out.
The excitement also shows that there are many people around. Yu He knows that she is very strange now, and she dare not show up easily, so she can only hold her curiosity and open her eyes wide in her backpack.
Suddenly, a pair of hands pinched him out, and he fell into the small pocket on Ann's chest.Through the thin cloth, he could clearly hear Ann's heartbeat, as well as her distinctive and lively body temperature.
What surprised Yu He more than the sudden move was that there was a small slit in the small pocket he was in.
The area is not big, and he can just see the outside scene through the gap when he is sitting.
"An, why are your clothes torn?" Yu He asked strangely.
An responded casually: "It was accidentally scratched just now."
"Then you should mend it sooner." Although Yu He said so, her eyes kept poking out, the hole was in a perfect location.He didn't have to deliberately adjust his sitting posture, nor did he have to hide, which he liked very much.
Ann didn't speak, but a response escaped from her throat, which sounded a little careless.Or maybe it was because he was still young, his voice sounded a little gentle and submissive, without the usual indifference and indifference.
The sales method of the market is very primitive. The items to be sold by the farmers are directly displayed. The cattle, sheep, chickens and dogs bark continuously. Not far away, there are jugglers performing on the street, which arouses cheers.
Hearing the applause over there, Yu He stood up curiously, but staggered and fell because the material of the fabric was too soft to support it.He thought he was covering it up well, but Ann still noticed it.
"Want to see it?"
"Do not want to."
Even though he said that, his low and soft voice was full of anticipation, obviously he was thinking too much.
It's still early in the day, and Ann still has things to do, so going to a juggling show to satisfy Xia Yuhe's curiosity is not a bad idea.
An walked through the crowd. He was upright and handsome. Although his brows and eyes were a bit immature, his temperament was better than that of a calm demeanor. He attracted the attention of many people along the way.It is also very easy for him to enter the forefront of viewing, but he is afraid of scaring Yu He from being too close, so he stands a little farther away.
"Only for a while," Ann said.
The juggler in front of him was wearing a vest, and his strong dark muscles bulged out vigorously. After turning over nimbly, orange flames sprayed from his lips, attracting applause from many people.
Even after a distance, Yu He's shoulders were still shrunk in fright, but his eyes were wide open again, looking scared and eager to see.
Just when Yu He wanted to get closer to see more clearly, a piercing and sharp laughter came from the side: "Come again, come again!"
Childish and arrogant, Yu He looked over in a daze, and saw a little boy wearing a beret as expected.
It was also the one who had watched him, frightened him, and bullied him at the door of the cupboard.
The mood that was still joyful and joyful suddenly fell, and I lost the desire to continue to look down. I reached out to grab Ann's pocket, and said softly, as if afraid of being heard: "I've finished reading, let's go."
Not right.
Although Yu He is timid, he is playful and curious.He was the one who wanted to listen to horror storybooks before, was so scared that he shed tears, and he was the one who insisted on clinging to An while sleeping.
An responded, and felt a sinking in her chest pocket, it should be Yu He lying down.This pocket is not big, and it cannot allow Yu He to lie down completely.
He curled himself up.
Under normal circumstances, Yu He would only do this when he was afraid or wronged, because he lacked a sense of security.
An raised her eyes and scanned for a week, her gaze gradually froze, and she found it.
After An exited the crowd, she didn't leave immediately. Instead, she wandered around in front of some small stalls, looking at the colorful goods. Yu He sat up slowly again, and put her head on it for a closer look.
She didn't make a sound, she was so cute.
The slow-witted Yu He also realized that something was wrong, this was not the way home at all, because it was An who lost his way, he hurriedly reminded: "You seem to be going the wrong way."
"Really?" Ann said, "This way is also possible."
The road back home was sparsely populated and not so lively at all, and Yu He was not a fool, so of course he could hear An's perfunctory meaning.
He glanced at the sky sadly, if he didn't go home again, it would be dark.
But An's casual attitude made Yu He very dissatisfied, he curled up softly again, closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.Before he fell asleep, Ann's footsteps suddenly accelerated.
An ear-piercing exclamation just rose, and then turned into a low muffled sound, and there were faint and trivial movements of struggling.
He opened his eyes and looked out through the crack of the hole, his lips parted in astonishment.
The little boy who bullied him just now was being pressed against the wall by An, covering his lips. The boy's arrogant and vicious expression was replaced by panic.
"You know you're afraid too?"
An's voice was very calm, and it was precisely because it was too calm, it was especially like the calm before the sudden surge of the sea, "When you scare others, why don't you know how to be afraid."
The boy whimpered for a long time, and tears dripped continuously on the back of Ann's hand, which drew a look of disgust.An didn't feel soft because of this: "It's fun to peek under the skirt, isn't it?"
The little boy was terrified. He just went home normally. When he turned into the alley, the man suddenly covered his mouth and nose.Thinking that the other party was a perverted murderer or a human trafficker, he turned pale with fright and was extremely embarrassed.
An really hated children. He was the one who did something wrong, so what right did he have to cry so badly.
It is very contradictory to say that Yu He has also done something wrong, and looked at people with a tearful and pitiful look, but it is different.
totally different.
Such Yu He is very cute, even lovable, making An just want to coax her in a low voice.
Too lazy to talk nonsense with the other party, An Qiangli lifted the boy, pulled his pants away, and threw nothing left into the trash can. He also thoughtfully helped him pick up the beret, and put it on him under the sight of the boy's red eyes. on the head.
When Yu He came back to his senses, An had already gone a long way, and now his head was in a mess, full of An's words threatening the little boy.
The little boy was so frightened that he urinated, and shivered in place with his naked lower part. An did not soften his heart, but his attitude became more cold and impatient.
That kind of Ann is too strange, harsh, ruthless, cold, and even bad.
Yu He has never seen such a bad Ann.
"Are you hungry?"
An suddenly made a sound, Yu He was stunned, and hummed indiscriminately.The small pocket was lifted a little, and while the sunset was pouring in, it also allowed Yu He to see An's clear jaw line.
A small piece of broken biscuit was brought in, and Ann said: "There is no water now, and if you eat too many biscuits, you will get thirsty." So I only gave a little bit.
Yu He took it obediently, bowed his head and took two bites, still curious: "Are you looking for him specifically?"
"No."
Before Yu He could say anything, An's tone sank, "Why didn't you make a sound when you were being bullied? Are you an idiot? Stay there and let others bully you?"
Ann only read a book for a while today, when he heard the sound of the glass cabinet being violently hit. He went out to find the kid to settle the score at the first time, but saw another picture.
A distinguished and elegant man ordered a group of well-trained men to disperse the crowd and surround the venue.Some people were dissatisfied with the domineering behavior of men, and immediately silenced after seeing the badges on their clothing.
Next, the man used his ability to cool down the cabinet.
What a luxury.
The number of times each awakened person can use the ability is limited, they need to store energy, and this man actually used the precious opportunity to use the ability for such a trivial matter.
More envy and jealousy than surprise.Why is it not me who is envious of people with supernatural powers? I am jealous that I can't bring such preferential treatment to Yu He.
He is weak and useless, eager to become strong.
Yu He, who was still soaked in warm care, was suddenly murdered. The movement of eating the biscuit was still there, holding the biscuit with both hands and said aggrievedly: "I worked very hard today. You don't praise me, you still attack me..."
You don't need to look at the extended ending and the pitiful tone, An can imagine Yu He's expression.
"I didn't blame you, it's just that you are too obedient today, you don't need to be so obedient." Ann's tone gradually slowed down, paused for a moment, and the words that came out were very soft, "I'm blaming myself."
"If I were stronger, you wouldn't be bullied, and you wouldn't have to... work so hard."
Grabbing Yu He, who was trying to escape, and holding it in the palm of his hand, An raised his arms very high, and the two of them were almost at eye level."I don't want you to work so hard," he said.
"Then you become stronger quickly, and I don't have to work so hard." Yu He couldn't understand many words, so he could only answer the parts he could understand, "When the time comes, you will buy me a lot of delicious food. Is it?"
"meeting."
"Will I live in a big house?"
"meeting."
Ann said: "Whatever you want, I will give you."
But Anbi knows better than anyone that it is too difficult for him to stand out as an ordinary person, unless he is a [potential person] and can awaken supernatural powers.
At that time, regardless of wealth or status, he will have it.
At that time, he could protect his loved ones, as well as this stupid doll in front of him.
Yu He, who got the promise, was very happy. This road is sparsely populated, and he didn't want to put it back in his pocket, so he acted like a baby and let An just hold him like this.An also followed suit all the way regardless of his own sore hands.
A long way from the gate, they saw Diane looking around.
Dai Ni came trotting all the way with her skirt in hand, carefully observing Yu He's mental state: "Is your work going well today? No one bullied you, right?"
An didn't evade Diane's scrutiny, but Yu He obediently replied: "No. An also took me to a juggling show. That man is so powerful that he can breathe fire."
Seeing that the two got along fairly well, the big stone in Dai Ni's heart finally fell to the ground.She took Yu He over and said, "I made you a new dress, let's try it on."
Dai Ni made a relatively complicated dress for Yu He, and Yu He took a lot of effort to put it on.
The sky blue color makes his skin white and bright, amplifying the greenness and pure emotion in him.
Dai Ni stared at it for a long time, but couldn't return to her senses for a long time.
"Diani," Yu He lay beside Diani's hand, her dense eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyes, "When will I grow up?"
If the dolls want to grow up, they must eat human-flavored food. They dare not feed Yu He, fearing that Yu He will become addicted or have other uncontrollable side effects.
In addition, Yu He's appearance is too outstanding, if he grows up, he will definitely attract the covetousness of people with malicious intentions.
They don't have the ability to protect Yu He. In comparison, the current Yu He is the safest.
"Do you want to grow up?" Dani asked softly after thinking for a moment.
Yu He was depressed: "I'm too young, I don't want to be taken care of all the time."
At such a young age, he needs to be watched for many things, otherwise he may be in danger.
Just like today's little boy, if he was older, he would be able to beat the other party severely, instead of crying aggrievedly like today.
"But I don't mind taking care of you. Only those who truly love you will be willing to take care of you unconditionally." Dai Ni smiled, "You are fine like this, and I don't think you are a burden."
Yu He asked, "Then do you love me?"
"Of course, you are my family, and I love my family very much." Diane said again, "But you will meet another person in the future. Before that, you were strangers and had no relationship. But he is willing to take care of you." You, treat you unconditionally, and protect you without asking for anything in return."
Yu He listened very carefully, and after a long while, he still mumbled, "I don't understand."
"You'll understand sooner or later, we're not different. You're just slower, wait a little longer, and you'll understand these things." Diane coaxed him, "he'll kiss you then , he will fall in love with you, he will love you the most."
With his small ears pricked up, he nodded seriously, half knowing that he had insomnia for the first time, tossing and turning unable to fall asleep.
Dai Ni's work and rest are very regular, and now she has fallen into a deep sleep, carefully climbing out of the basket, Yu He is walking outside, the house is very dark, and every step he takes is very cautious.
The light cast from the side illuminates the little him, he looks up at the person, Anzheng leans against the door frame and looks down at him: "What are you running around for?"
"I want to hug and sleep." Yu He blinked, without much begging, as if she had expected that Ann would not reject him.
Ann did not refuse him.
This day, Yu He was lying near An's collarbone, and felt that the bone was too hard, so she crawled down and lay on her chest.
An let Yu He lie on his stomach like this.
Yu He is too tired today, the warm body temperature belonging to another person can comfort him to a certain extent, and the intimate skin-to-skin contact also gives him a certain sense of security.
It seemed that only with such a close hug, no one would bully him, and he was protected.
When Yu He was about to fall asleep, he suddenly felt that he was being picked up and put down. Before he could open his eyes, a hot touch fell on the swirl of hair.
The moment she opened her eyes, An's complexion changed drastically, her cheeks and behind her ears were flushed with astonishing speed, her eyes dodged and drifted, full of embarrassment of being caught on the spot.
Ann kissed him.
Or steal a kiss while he was asleep.
Yu He couldn't understand the meaning behind this gesture, but he still remembered what Diani said to him, so he asked, "Do you like me, that's why you kissed me?" Diani said, only people who really like me would do this , what are you going to do next? Do you want to kiss me?"
The red tide became more and more intense, as if An was soaked into a paint bucket, as long as the exposed skin was covered with abnormal red.
Upon closer inspection, it is not difficult to find that his fingers are trembling, and his tone is also erratic and unnatural: "Kissing does not mean liking."
Diane said that people who are in love will kiss, but Ann said that kissing does not mean liking.
It's so hard to understand.
Yu He, who was trying to figure it out, had her beautiful facial features tangled up in a snow-white ball, which made her even cuter.
An unconsciously raised the corner of her mouth and reached out to tap his forehead. The shoulders of Yu He, who was so shocked and thoughtful, raised his head and glared fiercely.
"Go to bed, it's late. Stupid."
Yu He wanted to refute, he was not stupid, he just thought slowly.Many things can be understood as long as he is willing to think and think over and over again.
Like Diane said, he was just dull, not stupid.
Yu He raised her head ferociously: "You are the idiot!" After speaking, he buried his face in An's chest, and refused to lift it up again.
Not long after lying down, there was a very soft knock on the door, and Yu He, who thought it was Diani, urged An to open the door quickly.
The person who opened the door was not Diane, but John with a cautious expression.
John was sneaky, he sneaked in after the door opened, his movements were tiptoe, not like a father entering his son's room, more like a thief.
"The store told me that someone offered a very high price to buy a doll!" The deliberately lowered voice could not restrain the ecstasy in his heart.
The unexpected news made An froze, and he didn't dare to look back at Yu He's expression. He wanted to pull John out to speak.But John was extremely dissatisfied: "What are you going out for? What if your sister hears about it? Didn't we agree to keep Diane from it? Diani is just a fool who treats dolls like family members."
"father!"
"Where did I say it wrong? Dolls are cursed by God [sin], they have no feelings, and they can't understand human feelings. They are dirty, mean, shameless, promiscuous... But I didn't expect that this It was only the first day, and someone unexpectedly took a fancy to him. This buyer is very rich, he is [Awakened], and I heard that he is a big shot..."
Ann couldn't listen anymore, he didn't expect this day to come so soon, or in this way.
For a long time, he has been looking for the most appropriate and most suitable time and solution, but he is still very young and does not have enough experience, so it is difficult to think of a solution for both.
After dragging John out of the room, he turned his head subconsciously, and saw the aggrieved expression that was a little dazed, so ignorant that it was almost ignorant.
Yu He is sad.
An suddenly stopped and said calmly, "Dad, we can't sell Yu He."
"He is not like what the Holy See said, he has feelings, but their way of understanding feelings is different from humans, as long as they are given a little more time, they are no different from us." An's throat moved slightly, and he said with difficulty, "I don't want to Sell him, I want to keep him."
"Are you crazy?!" John felt ridiculous, "If you don't sell it, what will happen to your tuition? What will happen to our big house?"
An: "I stopped going to school. I figured it out. The Holy See's assessment is nothing. The knowledge in the textbooks is full of loopholes. Regarding dolls, I suspect that the Holy See has brainwashed the residents."
"Dolls don't have that powerful magical power at all. Human beings are attracted by their own lack of concentration. They suffer the consequences of their own desires, but attribute their sins to the dolls. There is nothing wrong with the dolls. If you have to say something wrong, it is wrong. Meet this group of men who only know how to shirk responsibility."
John's complexion changed drastically, his eyes were like copper bells, and he patrolled the spot hastily. After making sure that no one was eavesdropping outside, he lowered his voice and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! There is no way to pass the test."
"I don't care. I'm going to make money, a lot of money, I believe I have the ability..." An didn't have a chance to finish her sentence, and she received a loud and powerful slap on the face.
Yu He, who was peeking inside, turned pale with fright, and An'an was knocked off the door frame, making a deafening noise, and the already unstable door was swinging back and forth.
An slowly stood up straight and wiped away the blood oozing from the corner of her mouth: "Am I wrong? The Holy See said that no one can resist the seduction of a doll. So, Dad, why are you still right after so many days? Is Yu He hostile? If what the Holy See said is true, you should have been bewitched and seduced long ago, instead of wholeheartedly trying to sell him for profit."
Although John is middle-aged, he is still handsome, and the years have left many marks on his face.At that moment, he was so angry that his lips trembled, and he pointed at An for a long time without doing anything, with a utterly disappointed expression.
At this moment, Dai Ni also rushed over, and she shouted loudly: "I disagree! I don't agree to sell Yu He, our house should not be obtained by him!"
Ann said, "I'll make my own money, and I'll make a lot of money. Daddy, don't sell him...please."
"Didn't you promise well before? You lied to Diani with me, why are you going back on your word now? Didn't you always know that he was going to be sold?"
A pair of sons and daughters confronted him at the same time, John's eyes were a little red, and he was angry.After that, he sneered: "What's the use if you don't agree? The buyer has already paid, and he will come to pick up the doll soon."
"He is an [Awakened] with supernatural powers, do you think you can stop him?"
The two hit a bolt from the blue at the same time.
Ann was the first to react. He immediately ran into the room and put Yu He into a small backpack, put some change and biscuits in it, and then handed the backpack to Diani: "Take him away first." , I’ll have a good talk with Dad.”
The most obedient youngest son had never disobeyed him so much. John was so angry that he almost jumped, copied a chair from the side, and wanted to smash Ann's body.
An also didn't hide at all, relying on her flesh and blood to block the attack from her father and cover Diani's escape from the window.
Before closing the window, under the bright moonlight, An saw Yu He struggling to hold back tears.
He obviously suffered a lot of grievances, he knew that he was going to be sold out, he knew that he had been deceived these days, he didn't get hysterical or questioned loudly, but swallowed his anger and digested it by himself.
Fragile but beautiful.
How could he be as heinous as described by the Holy See?
The sound of the wooden chair falling apart was so clear in the night, John's disappointed and distressed cursing, and the chaotic sound of the wooden house crumbling as if it would disintegrate at any time, intertwined into a nightmarish movement.
Yu He's face was already wet, and he asked tremblingly, "Will he be beaten to death?"
Diane's voice wasn't much better. She had never seen John snort, and it was the first time she had seen John get so angry.But she was still comforting herself: "No, nothing will happen..."
They hadn't run far when they heard Ann's scream. Even after trying their best to restrain it, this painful and forbearing voice seemed so cold after being soaked by the night wind.
Dai Ni put down her backpack and said anxiously, "Can you stay alone for a while? I have to go back and have a look, otherwise Ann will be beaten to death."
But Diane didn't dare to take Yu He back. She was afraid that John would attack Yu He. This area is relatively desolate. As long as Yu He doesn't run around, she shouldn't be picked up.
……Maybe.
Diane gritted her teeth, she wasn't sure herself, she was too entangled.When she picked up Yu He, it was also in a desolate corner.
Maybe the next person will pick up Yu He like her.
Yu He said in a low voice: "Can I go together? Actually, it doesn't matter if I...be sold."
As we spoke, tears fell again.
He doesn't want to be sold out, and he doesn't want to be with strangers, he likes Diane, he likes to cling to Diane.
Dai Ni took out all the things in the backpack, threw the backpack in the corner, stuffed Yu He and other bits and pieces into her pocket, and said in a crisp voice, "I won't let you be sold, you are our family. "
When Diani ran all the way, under the rustling of the grass and the rustling of the swaying branches, Yu He called "sister" in a daze, just like Ann called Diani.
But the voice was so soft that no one could hear it except himself.
Things that I hadn't thought of before, seem to be understood now.
No wonder An Hui suddenly treated him well, no wonder An Hui was willing to sleep with him, and later kissed him because he wanted to sell him.
After the problem that had been bothering him was figured out, he was not so happy, but a little sad.
Now Yu He has a new problem. Since Ann and John agreed to sell him, why did Ann go back on his word?Why?
He has always liked to use his brain to think, but now he doesn't want to know.
I don't want to use my brain, I don't want to think.
so tired.
After returning to the cabin, Yu He was apprehensive and nervous. He held his breath, as if he would be found if he breathed a little louder.Cautiously hiding, he poked his head out again under Diani's exclamation.
Under the moonlight, Yu He's face was pale, but An was covered in blood, and the bright red color stuck to his pale and blue-gray skin. He looked lifeless like a corpse without a soul.
John continued to punch and kick him.
Yu He opened her lips, but she couldn't make a sound, her throat was blocked by something heavy, and she was nailed to the spot.
He has never seen such a picture before, the most primitive violence, the brutal and vulgar one-sided beating, the strong smell of blood...
He is afraid.
But at this moment, An was still winking at him, mouthing silently——go away.
Sensing Yu He's existence, John wanted to turn around and catch Diani. Diani was also frightened by the scene in front of her, and took two steps back. On the one hand, she was worried about her younger brother, and on the other hand, she was afraid of being caught...
"Why are you running? That's [Awakened]! If I can't hand over the doll, do you know what will happen to us? In their eyes, existence like us is just ants, ants that can be executed at will!"
Diani cried and shook her head, still covering her pockets and refusing to hand over Yu He.But she couldn't stop John at all, and Yu He was still held high.
The dizzy Yu He trembled in fear, lowered his head and glanced down, it was so high...
Harsh cries, pale moonlight, bright red blood, ferocious violence...
Silver frost and snow slowly extended from a distance, like a poisonous snake attacking its own territory inch by inch, and the surrounding ground condensed into cold ice crystals.
John, who was still baring his teeth and claws just now, is frozen there like a sculpture, and he still maintains the previous image of holding Yu He up high.
From the deep darkness, a tall and tall figure slowly walked out. Everywhere he went, there were crackling sounds. His steps were calm and his expression was calm.
This face is not considered young, about 30 years old, and the precipitation of the years has made him look more elegant and charming.When he walked in front of Yu He, he glanced at John rather dissatisfied, and immediately held Yu He in his palm cherishingly.
Yu He fell into the man's hand, shrank her legs hastily, tears fell uncontrollably, but stubbornly did not make a sound.
"Sorry, I seem to have scared you."
The man showed deep regret and guilt, took out the small cushion prepared in advance, and placed it under Yu He's body, so that he could sit more comfortably.
The subordinates behind him stepped forward to set up the venue one after another, and within a short while, an exquisite and small ice and snow castle appeared in front of them.
The man placed Yu He on the balcony of the castle, then took half a step back, and made a gentleman's salute in front of Yu He, and said gently: "Please allow me to introduce myself, I am [Granlia] The current patriarch of the family, Tang—"
"It's also your husband who is about to get married."
Ann's complexion changed suddenly.
[Granlia] is a well-known [Awakened] family in the small town. The leader Tang is young and handsome, 32 years old. His behavior is gentle and gentle, but his methods of controlling people are extremely cold-blooded and ruthless.
There were frequent internal struggles in the family. He took away the power of the family in a short period of time, developed his own power, and firmly sat on the position of patriarch.
Most importantly, Tang also has a son who is coveting the position of patriarch!
