Past Events 3
The sky was already dark, and now it was even more gloomy and terrifying, giving Li Ping'an the illusion that it was finally night.
Looking up at Sun Wuya in the air, her face was flushed with a strange red, and she looked extremely excited. Li Pingan wondered what was in the distance?
Sun Wuya seemed to suddenly remember that there was a Li Ping'an down there, and he came to her like the wind, "My sister is here." His tone was excited.
Li Ping'an was speechless. He knew that Sun Wuya had two sisters. One sister died in a ghost marriage when she was a child. Although no one knew how the other sister died, she also died a year ago. So, no matter who came, it couldn't be a living person.
Why do I always meet ghosts in every world I go to?
The black clouds in the distance had not yet approached when a sudden noise came from the city. It was unknown how many ghosts were hiding in the ruins. Li Ping'an had never known what the sound of a ghost crying sounded like before, but now he had seen it. It was similar to the cry of a child, sharp and piercing, with an extremely high frequency, which made his heart and head jump, and he could not block it even if he covered his ears.
Some tiny black shadows intertwined together and twisted to try to escape, but for some reason, they suddenly screamed and disappeared.
Sun Wuya's eyes were full of expectation and hope as she looked into the distance.
"The story isn't over yet, do you still want to hear it?"
Li Ping'an was looking carefully at the things around him when he suddenly heard Sun Wuya ask.
When I looked up, I saw Sun Wuya still staring into the distance, but she was talking to Li Pingan.
Li Ping'an nodded. He felt a little tired of standing, so he patted the ground casually and sat down.
Sun Wuya floated down and landed in front of Li Ping'an. She imitated her and sat cross-legged on the ground. "Where were we just now?"
"By the way, now that I've finished talking about my second sister, it's time to talk about my eldest sister." Sun Wuya thought about it.
"Not long after my second sister left, my father brought people with music and music to welcome a new daughter-in-law."
"The new daughter-in-law is not very old, only a few years older than my eldest sister. It's a pity to marry her to that old guy."
Hearing this, Li Ping'an glanced at Sun Wuya. She thought Sun Wuya would hate this stepmother very much.
As if she understood Li Ping'an's expression, Sun Wuya sneered, "It's all because of that old guy. The new daughter-in-law is not the boss, and she is also being bullied by him. Why bother to make things difficult for each other?"
"The old man got married to a new wife. He was like a normal person for the first month. He looked like he loved his wife very much."
"But just after a month, he returned to his old ways. He beat his new wife so badly that her body was covered in bruises. She would sit in the back of the house and secretly wipe away her tears every day."
Sun Wuya thought of Xingniang. She was not outstanding in appearance, but she was young and had an innocent air when she came in. After being deceived by the old man for a month, when she was beaten for the first time, she actually wondered if she had done something wrong to make the old man angry.
After that, I became more careful. I watched the old man's expression every day and tried to figure out what he was thinking. After being beaten many times, I realized that the old man didn't need a reason to beat people.
"I'm unlucky. Someone from above told me I have to do corvée labor. My family has no money, so I have to go by myself."
“That was the most comfortable time we ever had.”
I feel better without that person. I eat wild vegetables and bean dregs every day and have gained a lot of weight.
"I don't know if my eldest sister has ever thought about it, but I have. I think it would be better if the old man just died outside." If he died outside, he would not come back to torture them again.
Once, when the three of them were chatting, Sun Wuya was so happy that she accidentally said this idea. At that time, the scene was quiet. When the eldest sister realized it, she was so scared that her face turned pale. She quickly covered Sun Wuya's mouth with her hand and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Xing Niang on the opposite side also had an ugly expression on her face. The eldest sister was afraid that Xing Niang would complain after she came back, so she pulled Sun Wuya and wanted to kneel down, but Xing Niang stopped them and said, "Just think about it."
"If he really died, we wouldn't be okay," Sun Wuya still remembered Xingniang's expression, which was extremely helpless and a little sad. "If he died, if we were lucky, we could just find someone to marry. If we were unlucky, we could just be sold off."
Hearing this, Sun Wuya and her elder sister fell silent. Xingniang didn't know that if he was around, they might be sold too.
Sun Wuya still had a glimmer of hope for the world at that time. She touched Xingniang's belly and said, "It would be fine if you gave birth to a boy."
After hearing this, Xingniang smiled and touched her belly, "I also hope it's a boy, at least I can get beaten less." Maybe, life will be better then.
At this point, Sun Wuya smiled at Li Pingan, with a hint of mockery, "Look, even at this point, Xing Niang still has expectations for that man."
This mockery was not directed at Xing Niang, but at the old man.
"Xingniang's wish came true. She gave birth to a boy after the old man came back, and the old man was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling."
"But Xingniang is dead," Sun Wuya's tone became sad when she said this.
"Xing Niang is too small, the child is too big, and he lost a lot of blood."
After that day, there was an extra grave mound in the back mountain, and the Sun family lost a woman.
"You see, it doesn't matter whether you give birth to a boy or a girl." Her mother gave birth to a girl and died, and no one cared. Xing Niang gave birth to a boy and died, and still no one cared.
"The old man's happiness didn't last long. He started to go crazy at home because his beloved son was in his arms, but he didn't know how to support him."
Sun Wuya thought about the scene at that time and found it funny. The old man had no other choice but to stuff his root into the arms of his eldest sister and ask her to feed her son. "Since you were able to feed that money-loser back then, you can feed your brother now."
Sun Wuya didn't know where the old man's logic came from. Although she was raised by her sister, she had been breastfeeding for at least one or two months before her mother died.
But the old man really believed what he said, and after breathing a sigh of relief, he started walking the cat and playing with the dog again.
Sun Wuya was left looking at the skinny red monkey in her elder sister's arms, at a loss as to what to do. The skinny monkey was too small, and its crying sounded even quieter than that of a kitten.
"My eldest sister had no choice but to take me and hold the skinny monkey in her arms to find families who had given birth, and kowtow to every house."
"No one is lending it to them. Their own children can't even get enough to eat, so how can they have the heart to share it with others?"
"Big sister had no choice but to turn around and take Skinny Monkey to find the mother cat that had given birth to kittens."
"I still don't know if Skinny Monkey ate it at that time."
"Whether he got to eat or not, at least his crying became quieter and he even fell asleep later."
"When the old man came back and saw his baby son asleep, he felt that his eldest sister could support his son, so he let go of everything."
"The eldest sister begged him, kneeling on the ground, begging him, saying that if things continued like this, the skinny monkey would definitely not survive, and begged him to buy some refined rice to make rice porridge."
"But Dad got angry and slapped my eldest sister hard, saying she was cursing her own son and had bad intentions. He also warned her that if his son died, she would be buried with him."
"My elder sister didn't dare to say anything more. After that, she took me to work while she searched for cats and dogs that had given birth, and held them down to feed the skinny monkey some milk."
"But, it's not that easy to raise a child!"
Sun Wuya remembered that morning when her elder sister was feeding pigs in the backyard. She went to hug the skinny monkey like she did a few days ago, but found that he had no reaction at all. She touched the skinny monkey and it felt like a piece of ice.
Sun Wuya was so scared that she hugged the skinny monkey and went to find her elder sister in the backyard. After hearing what she heard, her elder sister touched the skinny monkey with shaking hands, but no matter where she touched, he did not respond.
At this point, Sun Wuya suddenly moved closer and asked, "Do you know?"
"The skinny monkey was stiff at that time,"
"But my elder sister and I don't believe he's dead, and we don't dare to believe it."
"My elder sister has helped me think of many ways, but the skinny monkey is getting harder and harder."
"In the end, my elder sister and I could only hug each other and cry,"
"I was afraid my elder sister would be beaten to death, so I told her, 'Let's run away secretly.'"
"My eldest sister's face was full of tears, but she forced a smile and comforted me by saying that the old man was just trying to scare us."
At this point, Sun Wuya suddenly trembled, her face showing fear. If she thinks of that night now, she still has nightmares.
"Blood, a lot of blood," Sun Wuya said, her eyes slowly turned red, as if filled with blood.
"My elder sister is bleeding a lot," Sun Wuya suddenly shouted.
When the old man was eager to hug the skinny monkey, the eldest sister hurriedly pushed Sun Wuya out of the house, coaxed her into the house, and locked her in.
In the house, Sun Wuya could only hear the old man's furious roar and the "crackling" sounds of things being scattered on the ground, but her eldest sister did not make a single sound.
Sun Wuya couldn't push the door open, so she paced around the room anxiously and finally squeezed out through the window.
When she stumbled into the main room, the first thing she saw was a river of blood on the ground. Her elder sister was lying in the middle of the room with her hair disheveled, motionless.
Sun Wuya was extremely scared at the time, fearing that her eldest sister would die at his hands like her mother, her second sister, and Xingniang.
The old man's anger had not yet dissipated. Seeing Sun Wuya running over, he immediately said angrily: "I had forgotten about you, little beast."
As he said that, he walked towards Sun Wuya and was about to kick her.
It was too late for Sun Wuya to hide at this time. She closed her eyes, hugged her head, and waited for the old man's kick.
But she unexpectedly discovered that the pain she had imagined did not fall on her body. When she opened her eyes, she found that the elder sister lying on the ground had hugged the old man's legs with her hands, forcing the old man to not kick her.
The old man was obviously angered by the eldest sister, so he turned around and kicked her hard. The eldest sister lay on the ground and wanted to vomit, but she could no longer vomit blood.
