Lin's mother and Lin Xiaoxue were afraid that something might happen to Liu Rumeng, so they both tried to chat with her.
However, Liu Rumeng turned a deaf ear to them. She just leaned against the fire, staring blankly with empty eyes, like a walking corpse without thoughts or soul.
"Sister Liu..."
When Zhao Daniu saw Liu Rumeng like this, he felt even more guilty and sad.
But, he couldn't do anything.
sometimes……
A lot of pain is like this.
Fate ties your hands and feet, then forces your eyes open, and forces the tragedy to play out before your eyes.
And there's nothing you can do except sigh and cry.
“Awang… you said that apart from life and death, nothing matters.
But now, you are dead.
This is a huge deal for me.
My life suddenly came to a dead end.
I can’t see any hope, I can’t see any future, I just want to... see you again.
But please rest assured, I won't give up on myself easily.
Because I want to fulfill the wishes that you haven't fulfilled.
I will help you take good care of your mother, help you raise Xiaoxue, and let her grow up into a beautiful girl.
Thank you! Awang!
Although we have been husband and wife for only a short time.
But for me, it is very satisfying and happy.
If I really have a choice, in the next life, I am still willing to... be your wife."
In the light of the fire, Liu Rumeng seemed to be saying goodbye to Lin Huowang, and also seemed to be saying her final farewell to her own short marriage life.
…
The next day, early in the morning.
The skinny monkey in the village ran to the gate of the Lin family's dilapidated courtyard, banged on the door and shouted loudly inside:
"Zhao Daniu! Come out quickly. There's news of a forest fire..."
Crash!
Because they were too sad last night, all the Lin family members who were originally resting in bed immediately got up.
Liu Rumeng jumped up with joy and was the first to rush out of the house, shouting to the skinny monkey outside:
"Awang is not dead, right? He is back?"
"Liu Zhiqing! It's not certain yet, but the militia seemed to have found fragments of Lin Huowang's clothes while patrolling today.
So, the captain called us young people together today to go into the woods to look for it again.
I am here to ask Zhao Daniu to come with me! I know you are concerned about Lin Huowang's whereabouts. I just don't know if Zhao Daniu is willing to go..."
The skinny monkey cast a cunning look at Liu Rumeng, and then couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
"I'll go with you! I must find Brother Awang.
If he's alive, I want to see him in person. If he's dead... I want to see his body.
We must not let Brother Awang die... and not be able to find his way home."
Zhao Daniu put on his tattered coat and walked quickly to the gate of the yard.
"Daniu! Be careful.
Remember to come back for lunch at noon..."
Lin's mother also walked out of the house, brought a steamed bun to Zhao Daniu, and then gave him some instructions.
"Yes! Auntie.
I will definitely find Brother Awang."
Zhao Daniu nodded heavily and left with the skinny monkey.
“I hope there will be good news.”
Liu Rumeng said while biting her lip.
“Mengmeng, no matter what.
We all have to live well, understand?"
Lin's mother seemed to have aged ten years overnight, and her hair had turned a lot whiter.
But at this moment, she still forced a smile to comfort Liu Rumeng.
Then the family got up, lit a fire, cooked some porridge, and steamed some steamed buns made yesterday.
…
However……
The porridge wasn't even ready yet, but crackling sounds were heard outside the yard.
When Lin Xiaoxue heard the noise, she rushed out to see what was happening, but she immediately started shouting:
"Mother! Sister-in-law! The Zhang family is here again..."
"Xiaoxue! Come back soon."
Realizing that something was wrong, Liu Rumeng quickly picked up the hatchet beside her and called Lin Xiaoxue back.
Unfortunately, it was still too late.
Just as Lin Xiaoxue turned around to run, she was caught by Zhang Dazhui who rushed over.
"You little bitch! Weren't you very arrogant yesterday?
You said you would teach us a lesson when your brother comes back.
Humph! I tell you, the dead cripple is dead.
There is absolutely no way you can come back. Besides, Zhao Daniu is not here now, let’s see where you can run this time.”
Zhang Dazhui took out a bundle of ropes, tied Lin Xiaoxue tightly, and then threw her aside.
"Mom! Help me. I can't move!"
Lin Xiaoxue was horrified and struggled and screamed on the ground.
Mother Lin rushed out and angrily said to Zhang Dazhu:
"Let go of Xiaoxue! What are you going to do?
Why don’t you let us orphans and widows go?”
Liu Rumeng held the hatchet, glared at the Zhang family, and placed it in front of herself, but her hands began to tremble with fear.
“Haha! You can’t even hold a knife.
Liu Zhiqing, do you want me to teach you how to hold a hatchet?"
Zhang Erzhu took a quick step forward and snatched the hatchet from Liu Rumeng's hand.
"ah!"
Liu Rumeng was even more frightened and quickly retreated into the house.
But Zhang Lotus came over again and blocked her way.
"Don't make things difficult for Meng Meng!"
Mother Lin wanted to rush over to help Liu Rumeng, but was caught by Zhang Fugui again and slapped hard.
"You bitch! Let's see who will help you this time."
Zhang Fugui also took a bundle of ropes and tied up Lin's mother tightly without any hesitation.
"Mom! Let my mom go."
