I don’t know if it’s because of sincerity or if Fubao wants to do something big.

Yuan fell into a dream when they were at their wits' end and were about to resort to shady means.

This time when Yuan opened his eyes in his dream, the house was surprisingly - "lively!"

Yuan's hands seemed fine in his dream. He walked to the yard in a daze. Everyone was there, but everyone was crying.

There were many villagers surrounding them, comforting them.

Stinky Egg, Garlic and a few other kids were kneeling in the yard while their parents were yelling at and beating them.

Everyone's voices were sometimes far away and sometimes near, and Yuan couldn't hear what they were saying at all.

Fourth aunt became the most conspicuous person in the crowd.

She was pounding the ground and crying like a madman, with blood all over her mouth and chin, and she kept rushing forward to hit the children.

Fourth Uncle hugged her and let her beat him.

The parents of those children also knelt down, clasped their hands together, as if begging their uncle and the others.

But Fourth Uncle didn't look at it. His eyes were looking towards the center of the crowd with sorrow.

Yuan had a bad feeling and walked straight through the crowd until he saw what they were surrounding.

There was a small coffin in the yard, a very thin one, black in color, and the lid was not completely closed.

A Yuan's brain seemed to have turned into a mess, and he murmured unconsciously: "What's wrong...what happened?!!"

A Yuan felt that he was having trouble breathing. He was panicked and sad, but he couldn't cry. He subconsciously looked for his parents and grandmother in the crowd.

But they obviously could not answer her or comfort her.

Yuan walked over slowly and looked inside the coffin...

"Apricot..."

The familiar sister was now wet, with her hair sticking to her face and scalp, but it was combed straight. Her clothes were dry, but she was dressed strangely.

His face was blue and white, a little swollen and black, and his belly was bulging.

This is...dead...

Yuan felt like there was a ball of cotton stuck in his throat. So many emotions were intertwined and he didn't know what to do.

A Yuan tried to touch Xingzi, but everything in front of him disappeared again. A Yuan grabbed it but couldn't catch anything.

The place in front looked like the doorstep of my second uncle’s house, and a rabbit was roaring with water all over its body.

Yuan only heard one sentence clearly: "Hand over the fish and let Fubao come out to pay for his life."

The fifth and sixth brothers opened the door and rushed out, telling her to get out.

But the rabbit didn't, and tried to run around them, but was stopped.

The second aunt came out holding Fubao, and the two of them pointed at the rabbit and said something.

Then the fifth and sixth brothers held her down and beat her, and Rabbit fought with them.

The eldest brother and the second brother came out to stop them.

The fifth and sixth brothers cried and kept shouting at the rabbit to go away.

Second aunt came over and kicked them. Fubao looked very angry and pushed them a few times, and they started fighting with the rabbit again.

A Yuan looked on blankly. This time she did nothing and felt powerless.

Whatever she saw, she couldn't seem to stop it.

Fubao will pick ginseng, the family's luck keeps going down, the second room always has good things, everyone is always hurt, what about Xingzi? Will Xingzi die?

Before Uncle San and his friends arrived, Rabbit's legs would be broken by his brothers...

Why are there always broken bones? Doesn't she have any other tricks?

Yes, she killed the rabbit...

Yuan looked at everything in front of her, which dissipated again. The fog around her became much darker than last time and kept pressing towards her. There was only a little light in front.

A cold hand was stuffed into his hand. Yuan turned around and saw Xingzi's swollen, black and blue face. Her mouth was opening and closing, oozing mud and dirty water.

Yuan heard her say, "Save me, Yuan, go back quickly!"

A Yuan pulled her forward, and the dark fog behind them surged forward as if it wanted to swallow them up.

This dream seemed to have no end. It didn’t feel like a reminder of the past, but more like a complete nightmare.

When Yuan woke up, it was still daylight, but the adults were all there, dozing off around her.

"Oh my God! He finally woke up!"

Her mother held her in her arms.

A Yuan looked up blankly and asked her, "Where's Xingzi? Where's Rabbit?"

Li: Huh?

Old Yang's face darkened: "What happened to them? Where did it happen?"

"It was about the fish. Xingzi drowned. She might be near the water."

Yuan wasn't sure, but she was sure she heard it because of the fish.

No one asked any further questions. Those who could run and those who couldn't run rushed out immediately.

The only places in the village with water and fish are by the river, and there is a puddle outside the village. The water is muddy but there may not be any fish.

Everyone split up and left in two directions.

Li hurriedly held down Yuan and told him:

"Yuan, you, look after the house!

Here, I'll go find it! Fish? Ah, by the river!"

Li continued to mutter and left in a hurry, somewhat confused.

The yard and the house suddenly became quiet, and there was the sound of chickens crowing outside the door.

A Yuan got off the bed, put on his shoes with his good hand, took a stool, and sat outside the door.

Her hand still hurt, and the sadness made her condition even worse.

"Isn't this a mess..."

A Yuan was so sad that his mouth pursed. He couldn't hold back and just cried his heart out.

"Yuan, what's wrong?"

Aunt Shi from the neighboring house heard the crying, leaned over to take a look, and when she saw it was her, she came over and hugged her.

"Ouch, you're crying like a little melon, does your hand hurt?

Where are your mother and grandmother?"

Aunt Shi looked over and said, "No one is home!"

Yuan was immersed in sorrow and could not extricate himself:

“I dreamed that Xingzi drowned!

It’s swollen like a big wild vegetable dumpling!

It’s blue, white, and black! It’s so ugly!!!”

Aunt Shi:

"Ah~ Didn't your fourth uncle's family beat you up?"

Yuan asked with a grin and tears in his eyes, "Ah?"

Aunt Shi: "...Don't say that anymore. Look, everyone is out having fun and leaving you behind. They didn't take you with them!"

Yuan's brain was almost washed away by tears, but he still remembered that it seemed not to be the case.

She cried and said sadly: "Didn't you go to find Xingzi?"

Aunt Shi: "How can it be possible? Why do you believe in everything?"

Ah Yuan hugged her with tears in his eyes and cried:

“We don’t want to believe it!

That big-faced guy died miserably!"

Mrs. Shi, whose whole family is full of big faces, said: "…This unlucky child, I really want to get rid of you!"

A Yuan looked at her with tears in his eyes:

"I didn't say you, you will live a long life! But, wow--Apricot! You are so miserable!"

Aunt Shi: "...I mean, isn't it a little early to be mourning?"

Yuan cried and said, "That makes sense!"

"But you didn't stop either..." Aunt Shi wiped her tears speechlessly.

He shook his sleeves, took out a piece of candy, and put it into her mouth:

"Don't cry, or it will fall out."

Ah Yuan smacked his lips, closed his mouth and enjoyed it, tears falling from his eyes, and said stubbornly:

"It won't fall off, but it won't stop me from being sad!"

Aunt Shi's grandson Erniu came to the door at some point and said angrily, looking at Yuan's mouth:

"Why are you sad? The sugar I saved between my teeth went into your mouth, and I didn't even say I was sad!"

Yuan invited: "Do you want to cry together?"

Erniu waved his hand: "Oh, I'm past that age now."

Erniu, who was already fourteen years old, was not interested in this matter. He searched around and took out another piece of candy to give to his grandmother.

Aunt Shi: "Look, Yuan, if you stop crying, I'll give you this piece too!"

Erniu: "...I don't know you! You look so strange! Whose grandma are you?!"
