What is wrong with raising snakes?

At noon, there were three people around the dining table, the eldest brother, the third child and the fourth child.

"Didn't he say he wouldn't kill the second brother?" Xuan Qing asked puzzledly.

Yan Fenglang snorted and said, "But the ghost mother never said that."

"It turns out that there is really a ghost on the body."

"It is indeed possible between blood relatives."

"Then... will there be a possibility of soul exchange?"

Yan Fenglang turned his head, looked at Xuan Qingci who was blinking red eyes, and said with a light smile, "What do you think about all day long?"

"Isn't it right?"

"There is only one condition for the soul to leave the body, and that is when the body is dead."

Xuan Qingci frowned and thought for a while, as if he was recalling something, and said, "But I heard the scholar said that the souls of strangers can also leave their bodies."

"Why do you keep listening to this? The soul of a living person is probably not far from death."

Xuan Qing said "oh", and looked at the ghost mother's consciousness again.

Yan Fenglang leaned over and said softly: "But I heard that there is no way to bring the dead back to life."

Xuan Qingci's eyes lit up, and he looked at him curiously.

"However, for those who have been dismembered like the ghost mother, they can only hope for reincarnation."

Xuan Qingci's eyes dimmed, and Yan Fenglang was a little puzzled, and asked, "Do you have someone who remembers returning from the dead?"

"En." Xuan Qingci responded softly, and then said, "Yun Bai shouldn't end up like this..."

Yan Fenglang frowned, and muttered: "He is a cypress fairy, and his original body is not even human."

"Forget it, the reincarnation of yin and yang, the balance of life and death, and bringing the dead back to life should be against the common sense of Tiangang." Xuan Qingci sighed.

When Yan Fenglang heard this, his eyes were rather complicated. Resurrecting the dead was a name he found in his mind, but he couldn't remember the details. He vaguely felt that this thing must be related to his sealed memory .

"Tiangang's common sense is what breaks the balance in many cases."

He laughed lightly, his voice was blown away by the sudden wind from his consciousness.

Xuan Qingci couldn't hear Yan Fenglang's words clearly, so he assumed that he acquiesced, and looked at the ghost mother's consciousness again, and saw that the third child's face became more and more panicked.

"Big, big brother, where's the second brother?"

"Going to the city, I'll be back in a few days."

The third child and the fourth child looked at each other in blank dismay, and continued to ask, "Then... where is your mother?"

The fourth child also asked: "Brother, last time you said that mother would come back in a few days, but it has been more than half a month..."

"Why, do you want to go find her?" The eldest brother looked at the fourth child without looking up, and his eyes were full of fear.

The fourth child swallowed nervously and didn't speak again.

At this moment, the ghost mother was sitting where the second brother used to sit, looking at the pot of broth in front of her with a blank expression.

The meal was eaten very slowly. Seeing that the elder brother drank up the whole pot of broth, the fourth child finally spit it out with a "wow", and was led by the elder brother and thrown into the front yard, where he picked up a bamboo pole for a meal. Violent beating.

"I worked so hard to do it, but you actually spit it out for me!"

The third child hid in the room trembling all over, staring at the pot of broth in front of him, his face was completely drained of blood.Sitting on the stool, he peeked out of the house from time to time, and saw the fourth brother rolling around on the ground, the painful begging for mercy hovering above his head accompanied by the elder brother's insults, and the sound of sticks piercing the air again and again, It seemed that it was going to fall on the third child himself.

The eldest brother finally relieved his anger, threw away the bamboo pole in his hand and strode into the house, pointed at the third child and ordered: "Clean up all these, don't be as stupid as him."

The third child nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, I understand."

The eldest brother entered the house, but the ghost mother remained where she was.The third child looked at the fourth child who was lying on the ground outside and struggling in pain, picked up the meat basin and walked outside.

Xuan Qingci saw that the ghost mother's expression changed, she turned her head to look at the back of the third child, her bloodless lips slowly raised.

"He wants to kill the fourth child?"

Yan Fenglang asked strangely: "Why do you think he wants to kill the fourth child?"

"The second brother's body can't support them for too long, and the two of them already know what the elder brother has done. If they want to survive, they can only kill the other one." Xuan Qingci said.

Yan Fenglang shook his head, and said, "No matter who they die now, they can't escape the end of being killed by the elder brother in the end."

"what do you mean……"

I saw the third child supporting the fourth child, holding the meat basin in one hand, and walking towards the pool beside the front yard. When he passed the elder brother's room, the third child's eyes were full of indifference, then he quickly lowered his head and continued walking .

There were shouts outside the house, crying and shouting and rushing to fight, but their door was still closed and never opened, as if there was no one here long ago.

After that day, the third child took on the responsibility of cooking, and the eldest brother stayed by his side to watch, while the fourth child cleaned up the dishes after the meal, and everything seemed extremely harmonious.

After four days and five and a half hours of peaceful life, the fourth child would still accidentally offend the eldest brother, and then be dragged out for a beating, and the third child would secretly use a hot towel for the fourth child at night while the eldest brother was asleep Apply to the wound.

"Third brother... when will this day end?"

The third child wrung the towel and replied coldly: "Didn't you hear what the elder brother said? How long does your majesty fight, how long will this day pass?"

The fourth child looked at him, and asked in a low voice, "Third Brother... Is our meat... not enough?"

"Never mind if it's enough, it will be there soon."

The next night, the eldest brother ate very slowly during the meal. Every time the third and fourth child took a bite, they would look at the eldest brother in fear. The eldest brother’s expression was calm and turbulent, and the movement of holding the chopsticks seemed to be on the third and fourth child sandwich meat.

"What's going on with you two today? Why are you staring at me?" The eldest brother found out.

The fourth child hurriedly lowered his head, and the third child said, "My...is the meat at home almost gone..."

The eldest brother paused with his chopsticks, looked up at him, and showed his white teeth: "What's the hurry, there will be more soon when they are gone."

After all, he took a look at the fourth child.

The fourth child didn't see it, but the third child saw it. He quickly lowered his head, took a bite of the meat, and swallowed it mixed with weeds.

Xuan Qing looked at it and said, "They are going to do something."

"I just don't know what to do after they do it," Yan Fenglang said.

At night, the fourth child stayed alone in the front yard, washing dishes and chopsticks. He made the water in the pond rattle, as if he was trying to cover up the words "calm down, calm down" that came out of his mouth because of his panic. , he stared at the pond, staring at the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, a shadow slowly climbed over his head.

"Shh-!"

The third child covered the mouth of the fourth child at once, squatted down beside him, and said in a low voice: "Brother is coming out soon, he told me to knock you out, I brought you blood, and you can wipe it off after a while." on the head."

The third child took out a bamboo tube from his pocket and handed it to the third child, then glanced back and saw that the window of the elder brother's room was closed, and urged, "Hurry up!"

The fourth child opened the bamboo tube tremblingly, and poured the blood on his head, filling his nose with the smell of blood.As soon as it was finished, the third child raised his stick and smashed it down viciously. The fourth child screamed miserably and fell down in response.

Seeing the fourth child fall down, the third child hurriedly threw the bamboo tube on the ground. Seeing it being thrown out of the wall, the third child turned around and ran away.

As soon as he rushed into the room, the third child saw his elder brother sitting on the stool with his eyes closed, he stopped his feet to calm his breath before walking over.

"Brother... I'm done."

The eldest brother slowly opened his eyes, and pinched the third child's shoulder with one hand. The third child lowered his head and looked at the ground, only to hear the person above him say: "Come with me, there are some things, I think we should Let you know."

The third child still didn't look up, and obediently followed behind the elder brother.

I saw the eldest brother pick up the bamboo pole placed at the door, walk towards the fourth child who was lying in the front yard with his back facing him, and said as he walked, "Third brother, don't blame the elder brother for being cruel. When my mother was here, I would do it for this." My family has paid a lot, and now is the time for you to repay me. The second brother didn't know what happened, but he broke his leg after going to the mountains. We can't find a doctor for him in public. People know that Taoyuan Village still has a few men like us, so they will definitely be dragged to the front line."

After finishing speaking, the eldest brother suddenly turned his head to look at the third brother, his tone was a little gentle, he touched the third child's head, and said, "Do you understand what the elder brother means?"

The third child didn't dare to raise his head. He was too afraid that his elder brother would see his fear, so he suppressed his trembling and said softly, "Understood, elder brother can't do anything wrong."

The eldest brother smiled with satisfaction, then continued to move forward, and said: "The fourth brother has always been quiet, but he is too quiet. He looks like a submissive, and the eldest brother will not be able to take him from now on. You have been clever since you were young, and there are some things Just pass..."

The two got closer and closer to the fourth child, and the stick that stunned the fourth child rolled down to the feet of the third child. The elder brother walked over and kicked the fourth child.

At this moment, the third child suddenly squatted down, picked up the stick on the ground, pointed it at the other standing leg of the elder brother, and smashed it with all his strength!

However, what the third child didn't expect was that the elder brother had been on guard for a long time. He swung the bamboo pole in his hand and hit the third child mercilessly on the wrist. It fell to the ground with a bang.

The eldest brother turned around and said with a sneer, "I knew you were up to no good, and I wanted to give you a chance, but it seems that you are just impatient."

"I asked you that day, have you heard anything, does your brother know what I heard?"

"Oh? Is it possible that you heard nonsense?"

"Mother asked me, mother's meat, is it delicious?"

After saying that, a figure appeared behind the eldest brother, it was the fourth child who was lying on the ground.I saw his eyes were red, no different from the eldest brother when he killed the second brother that day. At this time, he did not know when there was an extra ax in his hand.

"Brother, is mother's meat delicious?"

"Fourth..." The eldest brother snorted coldly, pointed at them and cursed, "You still have the guts to ask me! Don't you eat your mother's meat too! Especially you!"

The third child smiled sadly and said, "Didn't you force us to eat it?"

"Yeah, if you didn't lie to us and say that if you don't eat, you will starve, if you starve, you will get sick, and if you get sick... you have to go to the city to see a doctor, you will be discovered by others, and you will be sent to the hospital in the end. Be a human target on the front line! Didn't you tell us all of this!" The fourth child held the ax tightly and yelled at the elder brother with a deadpan expression on his face.

The eldest brother was not afraid of being flanked back and forth. After all, the two teenagers did not pose a threat to him, but this was in his opinion after all.

I saw the third and fourth brothers rushing over at the same time, the eldest brother dodged sideways, and the fourth brother noticed the movement of looking at the door from the corner of his eye.

"Brother, if you rush out now, they will catch you. You should think about it."

The third child followed suit: "If you go out, you will be eaten. Those women see us still here, what do you think they will think? Their husbands and sons are all on the front line, and we are here to make ends meet..."

"So what? Soon, I won't be able to live in mediocrity. As long as you die, I will be able to fight until the end of the war."
