$159, Bandit Emperor (5) (1/2)

Some uninformed people in Miaocheng were panicked. They didn't understand why their men went out and rebelled when they came back.

The women and old people were almost scared out of their wits. They were crying and shaking, but they did not dare to cry out. They pulled their men and begged them not to do this.

"Son, this is a serious crime of beheading. I want to behead you!"

"No matter how powerful our entire Miao City is, we will definitely not be able to compete with the imperial court. When the time comes, Yunzhou alone will kill us..."

"What should I do, what should I do..."

The old lady who injured her leg was sitting on the bed, her muddy old eyes full of despair, "You run away quickly, don't worry about mother, you run away quickly..."

"mother."

The naive-looking man knelt in front of his mother's bed, holding her hands that were cold and dry due to the lack of a thick quilt. His eyes were full of determination, "Those officials have no intention of giving us a way to survive. Since sooner or later is death, Might as well fight.”

"no no……"

The old lady was still crying, her hands trembling and getting colder, "Those who want to behead, those who want to behead..."

Seeing that he could not be persuaded, the man simply gave up. He stood up, put the rice soup simmering in the pot into a bowl and brought it over. The rich fragrance of rice filled the whole room.

"Mom, let's eat."

The man carefully blew the rice soup in the bowl and said warmly, "Even if I die, it's worth it if I can eat for a few days before I die."

The old lady watched him fill two full bowls. She was completely different from the way she had been before, when she was hungry and managed to get all the food for her to eat. She even lied to her that she was full.

His son knew that the old lady's eyes were getting redder and redder, and she took one of the bowls.

"Okay, even if we die, we two will be together!"

She drank the rice soup, and the food entered her intestines, bringing bursts of warmth to her body, and her hands and feet were not as cold as before.

This made the old lady feel better, not because of the food, but because the new owner at least regarded them as human beings and was willing to give them food rations.

She was worried and grateful at the same time. She didn't close her eyes that night and recited one of the few sutras she knew all night long.

Pray for your son, and bless him to be safe. Pray for good people, and bless him to be able to really hold on.

The next day, she sat on the bed, reluctant to watch her son leave. When she saw him leaving, she couldn't help crying.

I'm afraid, this is the farewell.

She had been sitting on the bed looking at the sky outside, hoping and hoping that her child would come back alive.

At dusk, she held the food left by her son in the morning in her hand, but she couldn't eat any of it. She was so panicked that she didn't know what to do.

Why haven't you come back yet? Could it be that the imperial court has sent troops?

"mother!!"

Just when she was thinking this, the man walked in with a smile on his face. He came to the bedside, pointed at the majestic military uniform on his body and asked, "Does it look good?"

"Mom, look, there's a heart protection patch here, so you'll be warm when you wear it."

The old lady felt relieved and stretched out her hand to hold her son's hand. Sure enough, she felt warmth. Her son was still chattering, "Today we trained with the adults. Because I trained well, I was among the first batch." Those who have received the clothes have to wait for the workshop to make the rest."

The smile on his face has not fallen since he entered the door, "Mom, I went to ask the doctor, and he will come to diagnose you in a while. The food we had today is good, and there is also meat. We will be alone in the second half of the year. I divided half of the egg, and the adult said you can take the egg back, you see."

The man took out half an egg wrapped in cloth from his arms like a treasure. Although the egg was a little cold due to the cold weather, he still smiled happily when he saw the old lady eating it.

He sat on the edge of the bed and held his mother's hand. "Mom, is it delicious?"

The old lady tasted the eggs she had not eaten for many years, smiling with tears in her eyes, "It's delicious, it's delicious."

"Do you have eggs every day? Don't bring them to mother anymore. You have worked hard in training, so you need to replenish your body."

"Don't be afraid! Your Majesty said that among the people who perform the best every day, fifty people will be sent out rewards. Today's reward is my armor. Tomorrow I will choose from food and meat. I will be better tomorrow. I’m practicing on the ground and I’ve brought some meat to eat with you.”

"Okay, okay, you should take a rest soon..."

"Mother, let me boil water for you first. The doctor said today that the weather is cold and you need to soak your feet more. Have you finished the food I gave you? Let's make another pot of rice soup."

The man had been tired all day today. He kept repeating the tricks he learned from the adults to kill people. His arms were so tired that he felt sore. But when he saw his old mother sitting by the bed, comfortably soaking her feet in a wooden bucket, she thought Today, when I went out with forty-nine other people and received the armor, the envious looks from the people below made me feel so beautiful.

The mother and son drank rice soup. In this cold winter, their whole bodies warmed up. The man took off his armor, which was made of solid warm materials, and covered his sleeping mother.

He thought that when he came back tomorrow, he would buy a quilt to cover his mother. Although the price was a bit expensive, he just got two taels of silver, so it was not impossible to get it out.

The man lay on the kang, and before he closed his eyes and went to sleep, he was still thinking that he must work harder tomorrow to get meat for his mother to eat.

That night, almost all the men recruited into the army thought so.

If the first day of training, these honest men who were used to farm work were not very involved, then after knowing that the best ones would be selected every day to give rewards, everyone worked hard on the second day.

In the middle of winter, everyone was sweating profusely during the training, but no one was willing to show their weakness.

They shouted desperately, because they were afraid of hurting their own people, they communicated with wooden swords.

"Hey! Ha!"

On the temporary training site, Hou Er stood tall, looked at the new recruits who had already made some noise below, and nodded with satisfaction.

The soldier on the side rang the bell, and the new recruits who were just practicing chopping each other stopped immediately and stood back in their positions.

Someone in uniform pushed a big pot over, and two men who distributed food stood in front of each team.

After yesterday, the recruits were not restless, but stood obediently, and went forward one by one to get their own share. The aroma of meat filled the air. The recruits ate voraciously, and were extremely grateful to the new master they followed.

Today, each person still got half an egg. Hou Er stood on top and announced that they would rest for an hour. After an hour, everyone had to return to their positions.

After the announcement, he looked at the men who left here with big strides and joy on their faces, and smiled at Mo Da next to him, "Your Excellency is still kind, and you gave them time to go home and send eggs."

Mo Da also smiled, with admiration for Wei Mingyan in his eyes, "Your Excellency has always been thoughtful in all aspects."

The people who controlled the troops in Yunzhou have died, and now there is no leader. They have raised their bows and arrows high in the city. Even if Yunzhou sends troops, these recruits will be in good shape.

The families of the new soldiers were waiting for the pillars of the family to return home. Although they had received silver and were able to eat their fill, they were extremely panicked when they thought that they were facing the entire court this time.

The sick woman was sewing clothes in the sunlight, and the neighbor lady next door came in, "Qiuniang, I'm here to make rice soup for you. Where's Xiaogenzi? Why didn't I see him playing outside?"

Qiuniang smiled palely, "I asked him to go to my sister-in-law's place."

Her sister-in-law is pregnant now. She was just sent to her mother's house by her brother last night to be taken care of. There are three men in her sister-in-law's family who did not go to the army. If anything happens, they can take care of them.

Qiuniang asked her husband to take a bag of food and send her son to her sister-in-law's house today. If something really happened, her sister-in-law's family is kind and will definitely take her child to escape together.

"You are just too cautious."

The lady next door sighed, "I heard from my son that the senior officer leading the troops in Yunzhou died suddenly. We are far from the capital, and it will take the emperor ten days or half a month to receive the news. When the emperor sends troops over again, we will be prepared."

Seeing that Qiu Niang just smiled bitterly, the lady said again, "Don't disbelieve me. My son was a soldier in the court. He said that if there is a real fight, it is not certain who will win or lose."

Qiu Niang knew that the man next door was one of the first to join the army seven years ago. In the third year, he was driven out because of a broken arm. Although the lady next door almost cried into tears at the time, she thought that her son had saved his life anyway, so she cheered up and took good care of him.

Later, the man kept doing dirty and tiring work. This time, when he heard that the government was recruiting soldiers, no one else dared to go, but he went straight to it.

Although he couldn't fight the enemy because of the loss of an arm, he was assigned the task of delivering food. Others were worried all day long that they would be wiped out by the imperial court, but the man was not worried at all.

When he returned home yesterday, he was still telling his mother that the imperial court's soldiers were not well fed and well clothed. Their clothes were thin and black inside. Even the knives they used were bent and they were not replaced. At the beginning, he had his arm chopped off because his knife was bent and he was hungry and had no strength.

Later, he was directly driven out without getting a penny. If it weren't for the good relationship between him and the military doctor in the army, who secretly helped him with a simple treatment, he would not have been able to go home alive.

The man with a broken arm was quick-witted and saw clearly that all the troops had gone to fight with neighboring countries, and only a small part was left. They couldn't eat enough even if they fought to the death, not to mention those who were left behind.

The husband of the aunt next door died early, and she was the only child. Naturally, she believed everything he said. When others were still frightened and timid, she had already volunteered to help the neighbor take care of his wife who had just miscarried.

The rice soup was boiling, and the aunt also brought clothes. While making clothes, she talked to Qiu Niang casually. Suddenly, two men came into the yard, talking and laughing. When they saw them, they all laughed again.

"Look, I said your mother was at my house."

"Why did you come back? What happened?"

Qiu Niang asked almost immediately, her heart collapsed to the extreme.

"No, the adults gave us an hour to rest, and I got eggs, so I thought of sending them back for you to eat."

The man saw his wife's worried look, his expression softened instantly, and he took out the half egg that he had been holding in his arms to keep warm and handed it to his wife.

"Eat it quickly, wait until the evening, I will win meat to take home to eat."

"Don't talk nonsense." The man with the broken arm, who had grown up with him and was a brother and sister, laughed after hearing this. "I saw today that everyone was working hard to practice, especially Zhang Zhuzi, whose child had just been born. , I didn’t stop for a moment in order to replenish my wife’s health.”

"Didn't I take a break too?"

After the man with the broken arm laughed at his brother, he carefully gave half of his egg to his mother, "Mom, eat this egg soon, it's still hot."

"Mom, I don't want it. You've been tired all day. It's harder than my mother. You can eat it."

"Auntie, just eat. We have eaten in the army. There is meat every day, and the food is sufficient. I ate two big bowls by myself. If I weren't afraid of eating too much, it would be difficult to practice. , I can still eat three bowls."

"Yes, mother, don't worry about us. We are eating well. I don't know how many chickens have been killed in the army today. Your Majesty is kind and said that these half eggs are at our disposal. Isn't it just for us?" You can bring it to your family.”

Qiuniang was also hesitant at first, fearing that she would starve after eating her husband. It was seen that both of them were smiling and relaxed as they had never seen in the past. Their hearts gradually relaxed and they ate the eggs one by one.

"Drink some water, come on..."

The man served her carefully and waited for his wife to finish eating. He quickly handed her a glass of water and said, "Qiuniang, you can rest assured to take care of yourself. Don't skimp. I have food and salary every month. From now on, I will never starve you again."

After seeing that both of them had finished eating, the two men got up and rushed to the army.

Although it was said that he was resting for an hour, he still wanted to squeeze in among the fifty people. Of course, he had to spare all his time to practice. The man with a broken arm also hurried back. They also had a reward system, and he also wanted to I have to bring food to my mother in the evening.

When the two of them arrived, there were already many people practicing on the court. Judging from the sweat on their foreheads, they must have rushed over after delivering eggs to their homes.

Everyone was working so hard, and Qiuniang's heart suddenly felt oppressive. He didn't rest, and quickly joined the team and continued practicing seriously.

"drink!!"

"ha!!"

The strong voice of a young man reached above. Hou Er and Mo Da were holding a bowl and eating. They were Wei Mingyan's confidants and received special treatment, each of them had a big chicken drumstick.

Wearing thick and warm clothes, eating the best food, and being called "sir" when you walk out, you should be happy, but while eating delicious chicken drumsticks, Mo Da's heart is full of worries.

"Hou Er, do you think those officers and soldiers who escaped really know the whereabouts of the children?"

As soon as they took power, the officers and soldiers who were working for the tiger fled one after another. The few who were still looking after their families were not the same group at all.

Now they are sent out to arrest them, but the city was closed just early this morning, and no one is sure whether the officers and soldiers have escaped.

They themselves are well fed and well clothed, but how can they feel happy when they think that their children may still be hungry?

Hou Er took a bite of the chicken leg with a determined look on his face, "If the adults say they will find the children, they will be found."

"I trust you, sir."

The two stopped discussing this topic. When they were discussing which one had performed best in the morning and who should be rewarded, a brother who was following Wei Mingyan hurried up.

"Second brother, third brother, the officers and soldiers who escaped have been captured and have just been escorted to the government. Your Excellency has found out the whereabouts of the children and asked me to call you back."

***

When Mo Dahou Er hurried over, Wei Mingyan had already sent people to arrest the person who was confessed.

"grown ups!"

Hou Er's eyes were red with excitement, "Have you really found it?"

Wei Mingyan looked at the former officers and soldiers who were kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear, "Tell me again what I just confessed."

"Yes Yes!"

The officers and soldiers kowtowed desperately and said tremblingly, "The villain received the order to go to Sanju Village to lead people. There was a villager who had no relatives at home and refused to follow him to the battlefield and fled into the mountains."

"Later, the others were taken away first, and a few of us went to capture him. As a result, he came down the mountain and suddenly shouted in front of the villagers that there was treasure hidden in the mountain, and there was a lot of gold. He asked us to take the gold and let him go. "

"Originally we didn't take it seriously, but gold was really found on his body. After he brought it back, the master sent people to search, but they couldn't find it after searching all night. The next day, he sent us to go there in the name of distributing money. Call everyone in the village together and ask them one by one about the whereabouts of the gold."

Mo Da clenched his fists tightly together and looked at the person kneeling on the ground with red eyes, "How did you force me to ask!"

"We, we..." The man's eyes flickered with fear. "After we gathered the people together, we asked them clearly which people belong to the same family. If someone refused to tell, we would do it in front of the elderly of that family. Killed the junior in front of me..."

"My lord, my lord, we are also being forced! If we don't follow suit, we will die..."

Killing the junior in front of the old man...

What's the difference between that and gouging out their hearts?

She closed her eyes in great pain and thought of her old mother at home. As for her, was she also watching helplessly and in pain as her younger generation was killed? Then, where is his daughter...

"I, I'm going to kill you... kill you!!"

With red eyes and a voice that almost screamed, he rushed forward with his knife. The former officers and soldiers were so frightened that they rolled and crawled away. While hiding, they kowtowed desperately, "My lord, my lord, please, please..."

"Brother!"

Hou Er stopped him. His eyes were also full of tears, but he was calmer than Mo Da. He looked coldly at the person lying on the ground, as if he was looking at a dead person.

"Where are the children? Where did you take them?"

"Children, the children are still alive, all alive..."

The officers and soldiers seemed to have found a chance to survive, and they kept saying with snot and tears on their faces, "At that time, the master wanted us to kill them all to silence them. The master followed and said that instead of killing these children, it would be better to sell them and divide the money earned among the brothers."

"Later, later we contacted the traffickers. Those good-looking boys were sold to her before..."

"Master, please don't kill me, it's all your fault... No!! This was all the idea of ​​that dog official. He wanted the gold, but he killed everyone in the village and didn't find out the whereabouts. In the end, he asked us to pretend that robbers entered the village and took away all the property of the village. After that, we searched the mountain for several days and nights but didn't find the gold. The dog official was angry and ordered us to collect the bodies..."

"This is all, it's all his fault..."

Wei Mingyan raised his eyes and looked at the plaque hanging in the court.

——Fair and honest

"After the questioning, I'll hand him over to you. Deal with it quickly and don't make the place dirty."

Hearing the words of the master in the hall, Hou Er's eyes were red and he responded respectfully, "Yes."

He directly picked up the man with a bruised head on the ground with one hand.

Ignoring his screams, he dragged him on the ground and walked out.

Outside, the brothers who received the news were waiting quietly.

Seeing the man, hateful eyes instantly fell on him.

"Ah——"

"Spare my life——"

"Sir, sir..."

The young man who came to bring tea to Wei Mingyan looked outside with some concern, "Sir, is it okay?"

"They have been suppressed for too long, and they also need to vent."

The man slowly picked up the tea and sipped it, slightly raised his eyes and looked at the young man who was rescued from prison by him, "How is your sister?"

Thinking of his sister, the young man's eyes flashed with pain, "She has been staying in the house since she killed the two yamen runners who insulted her yesterday. She refused to come out. "

"Ask her if she is willing to work for me. If she is, I will teach her martial arts, but she has to go far away to work for me. If she is not willing, you can find a family, and I will give her a dowry and marry her off properly."

The young man was in disbelief at first, then he knelt on the ground, his face full of gratitude, "Thank you, sir! Zi Yu will never forget your life-saving grace! I will definitely work like a cow and a horse to repay you!"

Some of their family members died or fled. In such a big family, only he and his sister are left.

At the beginning, he carefully selected a place like Miaocheng. He thought that although his life would be hard from then on, at least his life would be saved.

Unexpectedly, the government here was rampant, and the yamen runners took advantage of their power to bully people. They broke into his home and forcibly humiliated his sister, and also kidnapped several people to enjoy together. He swore to resist to the death to protect his sister, but was arbitrarily charged and sent to prison.

If he hadn't been rescued by the man in front of him and given them a chance to avenge their brother and sister, how could his poor sister still be alive today.

"You don't need to work like a cow or a horse. You are a capable person. Just study the military books and help me achieve my great cause."

Wei Mingyan listened to the howling outside gradually faded, and then he called the trafficker who had been listening in fear.

The trafficker witnessed the miserable state of the officers and soldiers just now, and was scared to wet his pants. After being dragged up by the disgusted people, the first thing he did was to kowtow and beg for mercy.

"My lord, my lord, I didn't do anything, my lord, please let me go, my lord..."

"I ask you."

Wei Mingyan showed no sign of softening her begging for mercy, "Where did you sell all those children in Sanju Village seven years ago!"

"Sanju Village..."

The trafficker sold so many people, and seven years had passed, how could he still remember them.

"I, I don't remember, sir..."

"Sir, please let me go..."

"Don't remember?"

Wei Mingyan knocked on the table and waved to his subordinates who were standing respectfully on the side, "She is useless, take her out and kill her."

"Yes!"

"No!!!"

Ren Yazi was almost scared to death. She searched desperately in her mind, and the desire to survive finally made her remember what happened seven years ago.

"Sir!! I remember, I remember!"

"The children of Sanju Village were handed over to me by the government, but they said they were sold secretly. I remember, I remember everything, sir!"

Seeing her say that, Wei Mingyan asked, "Where did you sell the children to?"

She kowtowed desperately, "It's been so long, I really don't remember, sir..."

"Alright, drag her out and chop her."

"No! No! I remember, I remember!"

Ren Yazi opened her eyes wide in fear, the smell of urine came out from under her body, she shrilled, her voice almost broke, "Sir, I remember!"

"When I sold those children, Master Jin came to me and wrote down their names and whereabouts! I don't remember, but Master Jin must remember, sir!"

"Sir, please, I was also forced by the government. They are the government. I have to do whatever they tell me to do! Please don't kill me..."

"Forced by the government?"

The adult in the hall showed ridicule on his face, "As a human being, as long as someone is willing to give you a child, you will accept it no matter the source or where it goes. As far as I know, some children have been abducted and sold to When your parents came to see you, you not only refused to return the child, but also beat him up. They reported it to the government. You bribed the government, and it didn't cause any harm at all. However, you held a grudge against the parents and beat up their happy son. Death, left at the doorstep.”

"Are these things forced by the government?"

Seeing Ren Yazi on the ground with despair in his eyes and wanting to defend himself, Wei Mingyan took a heavy photo of Gaowen.

"You do whatever the government asks you to do. Now I am the government."

"Drag him down and temporarily imprison him. Tomorrow at noon, he will be executed in front of the entire Miaocheng people."

"My lord!! Sir, please don't, sir, please..."

Seeing Ren Yazi being dragged away, Wei Mingyan asked the young man beside him, "Do you know why he won't be executed until tomorrow?"

The young man replied respectfully, "That person, Yazi, took advantage of her contacts with the government to buy and sell children in the city. The most abominable thing is that if any high-ranking official takes a fancy to the daughter of a good family, she will force him to come to buy her. Forcibly sold, kidnapped the engaged girl and gave it to the old man to play with. "

"The people in the city hate her to the core. I beheaded her in front of the people. The people are naturally grateful to you."

Wei Mingyan nodded with satisfaction, "Let's go and meet Master Jin."

Master Jin was the only one who did not flee for his life when the government was breached, but sat quietly in the study and cooperated with being taken away.

He was put in a cell alone. He didn't eat or drink since he entered. He sat by the wall and didn't know what he was thinking.

When the cell door opened and he saw a heroic man in white, he opened his eyes and said softly, "The whereabouts of those children are recorded on paper. Go to the study, open Zhongyong, and it will be on page 13. ”

Wei Mingyan smiled, not too surprised, "You know why I came to you."

"When the army was drafted, I assigned people to escort them. All the strong men in Sanju Village were taken away. I was very impressed."

Master Jin showed a wry smile and looked behind the man, who was looking at his own Mo Da with red eyes, "Jin has a photographic memory since he was a child. It's easy to memorize the looks of some people."

"You have such a talent, but you become a lackey of a dog official and harm the people with him!"

Mo Da looked at him with hatred in his eyes, wishing he could pounce on him and eat his flesh raw.

"Yes, I have such a talent. Instead of serving the country and the people, I have harmed the people..."

Master Jin murmured and imitated, slowly smiled, smiled, and tears fell down his old cheeks.

"But by following a corrupt official, I can make him let many people go."

"I know what you said about me, saying that I have no conscience. Miaocheng gave birth to me and raised me, but I am going to give advice to corrupt officials and help him harm my fellow villagers."

"But once you get on the boat, how can you get off easily?"

"Sir..." Mr. Jin looked at Wei Mingyan with red eyes and smiled, "You are a good official. It would be great if I met you when I first took office."

He tremblingly took out a piece of gold and looked at it with eyes full of hatred, "Just for these things, corrupt officials harm people and the people are destitute..."

"The emperor is fatuous, his relatives are in power, the country is in turmoil, and there are internal and external troubles..."

"grown ups……"

With tears in his eyes, Master Jin slowly raised his head and looked at Wei Mingyan, "Yunzhou is the closest to Miaocheng. You can take Yunzhou first. General Zhao is guarding the city. He has always been dissatisfied with the emperor and just forcibly tolerated it. Can you Communicate secretly, and he will definitely help you as long as you rescue General Zhao's family members who were detained in Beijing."

"All the money that the corrupt official takes while in office is in the secret room behind his study. There is a cliff on the mountain behind Sanju Village. If you hang down thirteen feet, you will find a cave, which contains Yunzhou's 30,000 taels of gold."

"Remember, sir, whoever the people want will win the world."

After he finished speaking, he raised his neck and swallowed the gold in his hand before anyone could react.

"Hey!! You..."

Mo Da was stunned.

He rushed forward to save him, but Master Jin had already swallowed the piece of gold into his belly and could no longer save it.

"Sir...please tell my mother..."

He turned pale and smiled slowly, "My child is not a bad person. Please forgive her..."

If you commit suicide by swallowing gold, you will not be able to be saved at all, but will die in pain.

Master Jin had many ways to die happily, but he chose the most painful one because he wanted to atone for his sins.

"Sir, he, he..."

Mo Da was in a daze. Master Jin, wasn't he a bastard who was helping others do evil?

"He doesn't want to live in the world anymore." Wei Mingyan knelt down, took out a short knife, and inserted it into the old man's chest with a grateful smile.

"I will let everyone in the world know what you have done."

Master Jin smiled, shed tears, and said softly, "Thank you..."

He slowly closed his eyes.

Finally, I can sleep peacefully.

There is no guilt, no despair, and no pain when looking at the hateful eyes of the people.

very nice.

***

More than ten days later

The people of Yunzhou were working as usual, and suddenly they saw the officers and soldiers who usually showed off their power passing by them in a panic, and they all looked at them with curiosity and fear.

"Have you heard? It seems that the rebellious Miaocheng came here."

"Didn't Miaocheng just rebel for less than a month?"

"Yes, that's too fast."

The people didn't flee like an enemy country. In their minds, Miaocheng was definitely unbeatable.

Maybe they couldn't even get into the city gate.

The only worry was whether the government would take this opportunity to ask for benefits again.

The thoughts of the people on the street gradually began to panic with the news outside.

The soldiers trained by Miaocheng for more than ten days were not very professional, but they didn't know where to get bows and arrows.

There were not many bows and arrows in Yunzhou. They were all swallowed up by the superiors. There were no bows and arrows left.

When Yunzhou was broken, there was panic everywhere.

Some people closed their doors and dared not come out, while others hid in the cellar.

On the street, there was no one.

When the soldiers of Miaocheng entered the city, they first broke into the largest brothel.

Upstairs, under the table, a teenage girl with a mole under the corner of her eye hugged the little girl in her arms in fear.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, sister will protect you."

"Sister, I'm afraid..." The little girl, who was only a few years old, shrank in her arms, and looked timidly at the closed door with her big eyes.

She raised her eyes, her pretty face was full of despair, but she didn't dare to make a loud sound. With tears in her eyes, she coaxed softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid... Sister will definitely protect you..."

The author has something to say: The first ten little angels will send red envelopes, good night everyone
