"You bastard, stop here..."

In a small village on the lowermost reaches of the Yellow River, a woman's roar suddenly resounded over the village. Following this roar, a black-faced boy wearing a thick cotton jacket and cotton trousers rushed out of a fenced courtyard like a cannonball.

The boy was about seven or eight years old. His legs were soaring like arrows that had escaped from the string. As he ran away, a cloud of dust and smoke immediately rose up on the village road. Behind him, a man

The angry middle-aged woman ran after him with a fire stick.

"Come back to me..."

The woman chased and shouted while holding a fire stick. The boy turned his head and saw this scene. He was so frightened that Sayazi ran faster.

The woman had been doing needlework all winter and was not very energetic at ordinary times. How could she catch up with the boy who was running around the village every day? After a while, she was tired and out of breath and could no longer catch up. Seeing that naughty boy disappearing in a flash, she could only

He stopped chasing the man, angrily held up a fire stick and shouted threats in the direction where the boy ran away.

"Don't come back if you can. If you dare to come back, I'll break your legs."

Hearing the sound behind him, the boy didn't dare to stop anymore. He didn't dare to stop and look back until he ran to the fence of the Shen family's home at the east end of the village and no longer heard any movement behind him.

Seeing that there was no one behind him, the boy immediately lost his strength. His legs became weak and he slumped to the ground, gasping for air.

But he was scared to death. If he had known that his mother had not caught up, he would not have run so hard. As a result, his heart was beating so hard that it felt like he was being hit by something, and his legs were so weak that they were about to cramp.

The boy sat on the ground and was only happy to have escaped. He didn't notice a little girl squatting by the fence.

The little girl is six years old this year and her name is Shen Yuxiu.

When the boy ran over, Shen Yuxiu was holding a small wooden stick, digging holes in the ground absentmindedly, and occasionally looking into the yard through the gaps in the fence. When she saw the boy suddenly running over, she turned her back to herself in embarrassment.

Sitting on the ground, huffing and puffing like a bellows, she couldn't help but look strangely at the way he was running. Seeing that there was nothing there, she squatted and moved to the boy's side, reaching out and patting his shoulder.

"Second brother..."

"ah……"

The black-faced boy, Shen Yuxiu's second brother, Shen Yulin, was suddenly slapped. He almost jumped up with a cry of fright. When he turned around and saw that it was his second sister, he couldn't help but roll his eyes in annoyance.

"You scared me to death."

Shen Yuxiu was also frightened by his abrupt voice. She also patted her frightened chest angrily and retorted: "You scared me to death. What are you doing? Are you being chased away by a dog or something like that?"

Breathing like this."

When Shen Yulin heard her say that he was chased by a dog, he grinned happily and said, "The dog didn't chase me, my mother did."

"Ah?" Shen Yuxiu was stunned and asked suspiciously: "Why? What did you do again?"

Her mother is very reasonable, how could she expel him for no reason?

Shen Yulin chuckled when she asked: "It's nothing, I just took a chicken shit egg to tease my mistress. I didn't expect that boy to be stupid enough to stuff it into his mouth. When my mother saw it, she had to beat me up."

."

Shen Yuxiu's mouth twitched when she heard it. Seeing that he didn't think it was anything, she immediately didn't want to talk to him. She said "you deserve it" and went back to the place where he was just now, picking up a small wooden stick and continuing to dig holes in the ground.

If she had to tell her, her second brother was the one who owed it.

When she was the youngest at home, Shen Yulin used to play tricks on her. He would never tease her if he didn't make her anxious. Later, she became more sophisticated and was no longer easy to mess with. He felt bored when he saw that he was never fooled. It just so happened that she

When his mother gave birth to his third brother two years ago, Shen Yulin changed his goal and started playing tricks on his third brother.

Alas! It was her brother and sister's unlucky fate to end up with such an inconspicuous second brother.

Shen Yulin saw that Shen Yuxiu was no longer paying attention to him. Gu Yong, who was lying on his butt, came to her side and asked, "Why are you digging in the nest? Is there a treasure in the nest?"

"Yes, what a treasure there is." Shen Yuxiu stared at the bigger and bigger holes on the ground, looking very perfunctory.

As soon as Shen Yulin heard this, he knew that she didn't want to talk to him and felt a little boring. He looked up and saw several cousins ​​and sisters playing happily next to him, so he asked: "What's so fun about digging in the nest? Let's play with our brothers and sisters together."

?”

"No." Shen Yuxiu refused in a muffled voice, and then muttered in a low voice: "They don't want to play with me."

It's a pity that Shen Yulin is not attentive, and he didn't hear the second half of her whispered words. In addition, he didn't have to call Shen Yuxiu. When she refused, he stood up, patted the dirt on his butt, and said: "

Then I’ll go over there!”

After saying that, Shen Yulin strode towards the lively courtyard.

Seeing that he actually left like that, Shen Yuxiu was so angry that she raised her hand and threw the small wooden stick at him. But the small wooden stick was too light and it didn't make even a sound when it hit Shen Yulin's cotton-padded jacket. He was so ignorant.

I walked into the yard unconsciously and quickly became a group of playmates with my cousins.

Seeing her second brother happily blending into the circle of cousins, Shen Yuxiu's eyes were red with grievance, and she looked angrily at Shen Yulin, who was smiling heartlessly, and looked at the yard again through the gap in the fence.

middle.

Looking from this direction, she had a panoramic view of the whole room with the curtains raised. There was a girl about her age in the room, lying on the kang with a pencil and writing something in a notebook.

That was the third daughter of her fourth uncle's family, and her cousin who was only a few months older than her, Shen Yuling.

Originally, this cousin got along well with her, but for some reason, Shen Yuling suddenly changed a few days ago and stopped playing with her, and even blamed other cousins ​​not to play with her.

Although Shen Yuxiu was a little angry about this matter, she was not too angry either.

After all, even if her cousins ​​didn't play with her, she still had her own brothers and sisters and some friends from the village to play with. What made her really angry was that after Shen Yuling did what she did, she joined other people to bully her and give her

She gave her nicknames, laughed at her, and even let some bad boys in the village pull her pigtails, tear off her clothes, and even pushed her into a ditch once.

When Shen Yuxiu thought about what happened during these times, her cheeks bulged with anger.

She was angry, very angry.

What made her even more angry was that after doing this, Shen Yuling always advised her not to care about it, saying that those people were just playing with her, and if she cared about it, she was being petty and couldn't take a joke.

But fuck her!

She is just young, not stupid. She has been tricked by her second brother all these years. Could it be that she still doesn’t understand the good words?

Shen Yuxiu clearly understood that her cousin was deliberately targeting her. Although she didn't understand how she offended Shen Yuling to the point where Shen Yuling bullied her like this, she had now decided to break up with Shen Yuling.

The first thing she did when she broke off the relationship was to take back the things Shen Yuling took from her and her home.

She couldn't take back what she had already eaten, but she had to take back the things she couldn't eat. For example, the notebook and pencils in Shen Yuling's hands now belonged to her family, or Shen Yuling didn't know something.

I just walked away from her house.

The reason why Shen Yuxiu is so sure that the pen and notebook are her own is because the black pencil casing and the black spots on the notebook cannot be covered. That was when her second brother knocked over the couplet written by her father years ago.

It was stained by ink, because the second brother was severely beaten by her father. The notebook and paper were on the table at that time, and it was stained like this. She remembered it very clearly.

Shen Yuling, who was in the room, added another thing that would happen in the future in the notebook, and continued to recall other things that would happen in the future that she had not yet written down.
