Chapter 171
Anyone would be coaxed into softening their heart by Yun Mian's soft and hard tactics of admitting their mistakes.
Yun Jinshu was no exception, but she felt that she could not allow her daughter to be so bold.
This time he dared to bring Xiao Hao, who was obviously problematic, and Ji Wan, who had a strange experience, to fight the zombie dogs. Who knows what daring or even horrifying things he might do next time!
So she took the opportunity to tighten the thin stick that had been stuffed back into her daughter's hand, and as her daughter stared at her with eyes wide open in disbelief, she put on a stern face and ruthlessly hit her daughter's outstretched little hand hard.
Ouch...it hurts!!
It was fake crying just now. After being hit by the stick, Yun Mian's tears were completely out of control. She hurriedly retracted her hurt hand, rubbed her palms vigorously with both hands, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
Yun Jinshu ignored Yun Mian's tears and cries, and said coldly with a hard heart, "Lying, running away, and bringing others into danger with you, Yun Mian, is this what I taught you?"
Yunmian shook her head aggrievedly and raised her hand to wipe away her tears. When she found that her mother was still angry, she sobbed and slowly stretched out the other hand that had not been hit.
As long as mom doesn’t get angry anymore...Mianmian can take a lot of beatings.
Yun Jinshu closed his eyes and hit him hard again.
The white and tender palms quickly turned red, leaving a conspicuous red mark as the child clenched her hands in pain. It was very painful if either of her hands were touched. The pain stimulated her palms to become hot, but nothing cold could relieve the pain. She could only cry and helplessly clench the corners of her clothes with her palms, masochistically squeezing and releasing them, rubbing them back and forth.
Everyone in the car turned their heads away helplessly, because they were afraid that they would not be able to control themselves and would go over to pick up the beaten child.
Ji Wan pinched her palms tightly to keep herself calm and rational. Even though Yun Mian's sad cries continued to ring out, she tried hard to suppress her heartache and self-blame.
She didn't dare to stop it, as she didn't know what unpredictable consequences would occur if she did.
Only Xiao Hao looked at the people in the car, and then at Yunmian who was crying and wiping her tears after being beaten. He took two steps forward blankly, then stretched out his hand, imitated Yunmian's actions, spread out his palm, and placed it on the palm that Yunmian stretched out again.
It just happened to cover Yunmian's red palms that were hit.
Yun Jinshu looked at this scene, and his hand, which had just been raised, paused in mid-air. Finally, he put it down and threw the thin stick in his hand out of the car.
Xiao Hao didn't understand why she stopped fighting, but it seemed like a good thing. He turned his head to look at Yunmian. The child's eyes were swollen and his face was red from crying. The tears were hidden in his eye sockets and could not be kept back. He looked very pitiful.
The little monster was a little at a loss. He couldn't speak, and didn't quite understand human emotions and thoughts. His memories of his past as a human were becoming increasingly faint, and were mostly occupied by the tear-filled face in front of him.
Crying... seems like something very sad and bad happened.
He thought hard for a long time, then imitated Yunmian's actions, raised his hand clumsily and covered her face with it to wipe away the tears that kept falling.
If no one comforts her, Yunmian may be able to comfort herself quickly, but when someone comforts her and wipes her tears, the sadness in her heart seems to be infinitely magnified in an instant...
But until she was crying and gasping for breath and even lay outside the car and retched, Yun Mian still didn't feel that there was anything wrong with going to look for the zombie dog.
The dog chased their car in the morning and tried to bite someone.
The dog nearly ate everyone.
The dog also injured my mother's arm...
Even if Yunmian was spanked a hundred times by her mother, she would still kill the dog.
Even if Yun Mian didn't ask Sister Ji Wan or Xiao Hao to go with her, she would kill it herself.
She has a stubborn and strong character in her bones. She doesn't feel any guilt for ending a life. All her views on good and evil are basically linked to her mother.
Anyone who hurts my mother deserves to die, it’s just a matter of dying sooner or later.
When the system first saw the child huddled in a corner, silent and dazed, it felt a little distressed, so it flew over and played cartoons for her in an attempt to comfort her.
However, once it captured the surging thoughts in the host's mind, it realized that its actions were unnecessary.
It was still too light.
On the surface, she seemed to have a positive attitude towards admitting her mistakes, but in fact, even if Yun Mian was given a hundred chances to start over, she would still go head-on to confront the zombie dog. The only difference was whether she had an accomplice in making the same mistake or not.
The system circled around the kid who was squatting in the corner, seemingly reflecting on himself but actually not learning his lesson, and then sighed helplessly.
Even if I know that she admits her mistake but doesn't repent, what can I do?
Yun Jinshu felt so painful when she was hit those times that she couldn't even bear to use enough strength for the last blow. If it were anyone else, who would be willing to teach her such a harsh lesson?
Yunmian has the ability to make people soften their hearts towards her and lower their bottom line again and again.
Even if you knew she had made a mistake, so what? When she was hit, the one who would be hurt the most would definitely not be her.
The host's mother is the one who suffers the most.
From discovering that the host had disappeared, to forcing herself to search calmly, and then asking the military to come out and look for him, who knows how many terrible and heartbreaking possibilities she had anticipated in her mind along the way?
“Mianmian, go apologize to your mother again.” The system touched the child’s cheek lovingly and gently woke her up from her daze.
Yun Mian's empty eyes slowly focused. Her palms were already swollen and hurt with the slightest touch.
The little girl pursed her lips and hugged her knees. After hearing what the system uncle said, she did not move, but continued to stare in a daze at Ji Wan and Xiao Hao not far away.
In fact, she didn't think too much about it. A child's thinking couldn't support her to think of anything particularly powerful or logical.
Yunmian was just thinking, could she wear gloves before letting her mother spank her next time?
This way, it won't hurt so much, and mom can give him a few more hits. It seems like a good deal...
But in the short term, Yunmian didn't want to be beaten again.
The child puffed up his cheeks and blew on his swollen palms. Looking at his palms, he thought of the time when he was beaten. He couldn't help crying when he thought of it...
My mother must not love me anymore.
It hurts so much. Next time, I'll let my mother spank me. The flesh on my butt is thicker, and I can wear two more pairs of pants before being spanked.
The child's head is full of how to prevent himself from getting beaten too hard next time, and he never thinks about making only this mistake and ensuring there won't be a next time.
It's already very self-aware.
However, although Yunmian seemed to be in a daze, she actually took the System Uncle's words to heart.
She wanted to apologize to her mother, but she was still angry. Yunmian squatted in the corner and hesitated for a second. She stood up and then squatted back slowly in frustration.
But Mianmian was also a little angry. If my mother loved me, why didn’t she come to comfort me?
She gave the sparkling and beautiful crystal core to her mother...
No one knows when the little awkwardness between Yun Mian and Yun Jinshu will be resolved. Due to some guilt, Ji Wan always stays close to Yun Mian, but even though she has healing abilities, she dares not do anything to the palm of Yun Mian's hand that was hit.
In Yunmian, Ji Wan had suffered enough for being soft-hearted that day.
Xiao Hao has no family and is a monster that needs a lot of people to guard against, so after he was taken away by Yun Mian, everyone agreed that he should follow Yun Mian, and even Yun Jinshu did not drive him away.
So when no one was paying attention to him, the little monster continued to imitate Yunmian's actions, found a comfortable corner to squat in, and hugged his knees like Yunmian, acting like a mushroom cub.
The two mushroom cubs were squatting quietly. Not only were their dazed postures exactly the same, but even their two pairs of dark eyes were exceptionally similar.
People passing by would occasionally be scared, but because the black eyes were different from the red eyes of zombies, even though they felt scary, the children just squatted there obediently and didn't move. They all followed their instincts, staying away while silently convincing themselves that this might be some special power.
Until night falls.
There were already enough people gathered in the mall, and even the square outside the mall was crowded with survivors.
The military decided to wait one more night, and around seven o'clock tomorrow morning, they would take the survivors away to the safe base that the country had built in Lan City with overtime repairs.
Yunmian didn't have dinner.
Until the mall was completely plunged into darkness, some people turned on their cell phones or flashlights, and some took out candles and lit them. The whole mall was like a small nest, with dots of light slowly lighting up in the darkness.
Someone not far away turned on the light of his cell phone, dimly illuminating the small space.
Yunmian and Xiaohao tilted their heads to look at each other's elongated shadows on the wall. The two children looked at each other and then hugged themselves silently.
No one cares about us, no one wants us, we are just pitiful little things.
Ji Wan endured it for a whole day, but finally couldn't bear it anymore.
She stood up and handed the biscuits in her bag to Yunmian, squatting in front of her and coaxing her in a low voice: "Mianmian, eat something first, and then go and talk to your mother. We will leave together tomorrow, so everyone should get a good sleep tonight."
Yun Mian stared at her quietly for a long time. Just when Ji Wan realized that her behavior seemed a little dangerous, the biscuit she was about to put back was pinched by the child.
"Mianmian, you can't eat this." Ji Wan and the system reminded her almost at the same time.
But to their surprise, Yunmian did not eat it. Instead, he tore open the package with his teeth and stuffed it into the mouth of the mushroom next to him.
Xiaohao: "?"
Good night, I will update more tomorrow.
