The child stared at Qiao Fengyi with big round eyes, the whites of his eyes were very few, and the two pitch-black eyes reflected the incandescent sunlight above his head, which looked a little weird.
Qiao Fengyi shuddered, smiled unnaturally, and touched the top of his head, "How old are you?"
” The child did not speak, and his eyes looked up and down on her, not as if he was looking at people, but as if he was weighing the value of an object.
"Go and call your mother out, this son has broken his foot, let her help him see if there is any big problem."
Fortunately, the old man came over immediately, breaking the cold atmosphere between the two, Qiao Fengyi breathed a sigh of relief, helped Shen Qing to sit down on the chair, and squatted down to help him take off his shoes and socks.
"Oh, it's not light."
A woman came out of the cooking room on the west side and walked to Shen Qing's side, she bent down to look at his ankle, which was already slightly swollen, "It seems that the bones are misaligned, you bear with it, I'll break it for you." ” Shen Qing shrank his foot back suddenly, "Sister-in-law, will it hurt?"
” The woman shook her head and smiled, "Such a big man, I'm still afraid of pain, just like that, you can endure it." ” Shen Qing took a deep breath and clenched Qiao Fengyi's hand tightly, "Sister-in-law, you take it lightly, don't try too hard." ” "Okay, okay, don't be nervous, it's okay, just a while."
Before she could finish speaking, her hand had already touched Shen Qing's ankle neatly, only to hear a "cluck", and the slightly oblique bones were straightened, but immediately after, there was a miserable howl like killing a pig.
The sound pierced the sky, startling a few birds that were closing their eyes on the eaves.
"It hurts."
Shen Qing jumped on the ground with one foot, as if jumping so many times would relieve the pain.
Qiao Fengyi stood still, not going up to comfort him at all.
For, in the midst of this continuous howl, there seemed to be another voice, low and painful, humming and snorting, coming and going, carried by the wind from behind the house.
She raised an eyebrow and stared at the back of the room, "I think I just heard something." ” Shen Qing just jumped in the courtyard with one foot in her arms, not taking her words to heart at all, but the child who had been silent smiled at Qiao Fengyi, "Sow, it's going to give birth, it hurts, it's much more painful than this brother." ” It turned out to be a pig barking, Qiao Fengyi breathed a sigh of relief, she looked at Shen Qing, "Is enough screaming, put your feet and try to see if you can go?"
” Shen Qing's face flushed as soon as she said this, he put his feet on the ground and tried to take a few steps, "Okay, sister-in-law, you are Hua Tuo's reincarnation, Bian Que's rebirth, and your wonderful hand rejuvenation." ” "Hey, don't laugh at me," the woman couldn't sit still because he praised her, and hurriedly got up and walked towards the stove, "You two rest, the meal will be ready soon, it's not early now, you can go down the mountain after eating." ” "No, let's leave now, I didn't say hello at home, and I went back late, I'm afraid they will worry."
Shen Qing grabbed Qiao Fengyi's sleeve as she spoke, and walked out with her.
Walking to the gate of the courtyard, the two turned back to say goodbye, but were startled by the scene in the courtyard, the old, middle and young were all gray-faced, staring at them expressionlessly, like three sculptures.
The afterglow of the sun leaked through the branches and fell over their faces, red, as if they had been soaked in blood.
On the way down the mountain, Qiao Fengyi grabbed Shen Qing, "Didn't you refuse too simply just now, people healed your injuries, and kindly invited us to dinner, but you rejected it with a word." ” Shen Qing touched his pocket and looked up at the sky, "There is still half a pot of rice left at noon today, if I don't go back, it will be wasted, besides, I didn't bring a few copper plates, so it's not good to eat other people's for nothing." ” Hearing the farewell of those two people, Wang Cheng desperately twisted his fat body and rolled towards the circle door, he knew that this was his last chance, if he didn't seize it, he was afraid that he would only be buried in this filthy pigsty.
However, the miracle did not come, and before he rolled to the side of the circle door, the courtyard door was closed with a "bang", and in this mansion, except for himself, there were only a few people left.
If only they could be called human beings.
The sow next to her snorted, and suddenly walked crookedly towards the circle door, and her fat head arched Wang Cheng to the side, screaming at the door.
Wang Cheng raised his head tremblingly, and saw a small figure standing next to the circle door, he cried, tears kept pouring out of his eyes, wetting the rag that was blocked in his mouth.
The child smiled at him, "You want to run away from making such a big noise?"
” He shook his head desperately, babbling out of his mouth.
"Don't worry, the hour hasn't come yet, and I'm not in a hurry to kill you now."
Hearing this, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad, and as he was thinking about it, a shadow swept over his head coldly, and then, a heart-rending pain in his back, and his spine seemed to be broken by something.
"Bleeding."
The child's dark eyes bloomed with a strange brilliance, and he smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "Grandpa, I beat him to blood." ” The hunchbacked old man walked over with his hands behind his back, and glanced at Wang Cheng, who was moaning in the pigsty, "You didn't kill you, did you?"
” "Daddy taught me that I can't hit the head, this fat man wanted to run away just now, and almost lured those two people over, grandpa, do you say he should fight or not."
The old man smiled, "He is the chosen person and can't escape, but he is really hateful, and he even thought that the government would report you Abba, you should be beaten, you should be beaten." ” The child laughed, and suddenly raised the iron rod in his hand again, and the rod fell and fell, and smashed it on the already bloody backbone of Wang Cheng.
Although he was gagged, Wang Cheng still let out a muffled wail, and a huge pain swept through his body, he couldn't care about anything now, he barely bent his bound body to the ground, and kowtowed a few times to the old and young outside the circle.
"Grandpa, he's scared, he scolded me yesterday, and now he's kowtowing to me, haha."
The child clapped his hands and jumped happily on the ground.
"Wang Ba Lamb, just such a little courage, you dare to pretend to be arrogant in front of us, good grandson, today, you let him taste your awesomeness."
When the boy heard him say this, two bright lights appeared in his eyes, and he came to the pigsty again with his iron rod in his hand, and lifted it up high.
Wang Cheng saw that the iron rod was aimed at him again, and he was like a deflated ball, he was prostrate on the ground, and his mouth let out a babbling wow, and his whole body was soft.
"Dad, it's time to eat, it's not delicious when it's cold for a while."
A man walked into the inner courtyard, saw the scene in front of him, and took a bite of the steamed bun in his hand expressionlessly, "Let's clean him up after eating." ”
