"Brother, I'm tired, I don't want to walk anymore, let's go home!" Grandma Huang sat on a blue stone and seemed to sense something in her heart, and then she didn't want to walk anymore.
"Oh, girl, we're almost there, just ahead!" the villager said, panting, as he looked at Grandma Huang.
"I've heard you say this so many times already. We've already crossed three mountains. I don't think my husband could have run that far," Grandma Huang said calmly.
"Oh, sister, we're all from the same village. Would I lie to you? Besides, what if the man I see really is your man? Are you going to give up now? What if we just walk a little further and we'll run into him? Let's go!" The man said, seeing that Grandma Huang was suspicious.
"I..." Grandma Huang was very conflicted. In this remote mountain village, far from any village or shop, the two of them, a lone man and a woman, felt uneasy.
But she also hoped that the man wasn't lying to her and that what he said was true. However, she felt that the man was hiding something from her, and the more she walked, the more frightened she became. Her intuition told her that she couldn't go any further, or she would be doomed.
Grandma Huang immediately stopped and slipped away quietly without saying goodbye to the man. However, the man in front of her had been watching her the whole time, and as soon as she ran, the man behind her caught up without a word!
Grandma Huang didn't cry out or call for help. She just silently ran back the way she came, with the man chasing after her. Grandma Huang knew that even if she called for help in the mountains, no one would know. So, it was better to save her energy to escape the clutches of this man.
As Grandma Huang ran away, she kept looking back at the man chasing her. Suddenly, something in front of her slammed into her head! She felt a "buzz" in her head and was knocked unconscious.
"Brother, what do you think? I told you this woman tastes much better than the women in our village, and you didn't believe me!"
"We've had our fun, but what do we do now? What if this woman goes back and tells us everything we did to her today?"
"How about we do it again, and then bury her here? We can go back and say she was carried off by a wild beast in the mountains!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, you're really willing to kill such a beautiful woman? You might as well blind her yourself. If she can't see us, she won't know who we are!"
"There's no need for that. Only a few of us know about this. You stay here. We'll leave before she wakes up. If she wakes up and goes back to report you, just say that she begged you to come here with her to find her man, and then, seeing that no one was around, she started seducing you. We can testify for you!"
"This method is great!"
"I think it's a good idea, let's do it this way!"
"How am I supposed to explain this to my wife? You all know how formidable my wife is!"
"You need to understand that she seduced you, and you couldn't resist her temptation, which is why you made a mistake. If your wife wants to cause trouble, she should be the one to make trouble for her!"
"Yes, yes, yes, we'll help persuade them then, and this matter can be resolved peacefully!"
With tears streaming down her face, Grandma Huang listened with her eyes closed as the men who had violated her discussed their plan. Enduring the pain, she tidied her torn clothes and, taking advantage of the men's inattention, quietly and stealthily left this place filled with sin...
Dayao Village was just like any other day. The villagers were still busy digging for medicinal herbs, hunting, and making a living. It seemed no different from usual!
However, the men who returned from the mountains had been feeling uneasy for more than half a month. When they saw that Grandma Huang did not lose her temper or cause them any trouble, they felt relieved.
Humans are inherently flawed. When they feel they've wronged someone and taken advantage of them, and the woman hasn't complained, they feel that the woman has accepted their relationship and that they can do whatever they want with her. Then they start to feel restless and want to go back to the woman for some more intimacy.
That night,
Grandma Huang looked calmly at the man in front of her who was grinning at her, while the man's restless hands reached out to hug her waist.
"So comfortable! Your waist is much thinner and softer than my wife's, and you have such a wonderful womanly scent, Huang Meizi. You know what? Ever since I got back together with you in the mountains and we were moaning and groaning, I can't stop thinking about you, about your scent, about your body..." the man said, panting heavily, his hands trembling with excitement as they roamed over Huang Meizi's body.
"Is that so?" Grandma Huang asked coldly, without moving.
"Yes, really, I even dream about being with you. If I'm lying to you, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!" the man murmured as he kissed Grandma Huang's neck.
The man thought the woman had been moved by his sweet words, and began to reach his hands inside her clothes!
"What are you doing?" The man looked at the woman with a puzzled expression as she suddenly squatted down and began to take off her pants. The man became even more excited.
The woman squatted down and gently pulled down the man's trousers...
"Ah..."! A man's heart-wrenching wail suddenly broke the silence of the night!
"What's going on? Has a wild beast come down from the mountain?"
"Whose man is this? What are you howling about in the middle of the night?"
"Exactly! It scared me so much that I'm afraid to go to the outhouse!"
The entire village of Dayao was awakened by the scream. One by one, they opened their doors with great curiosity and began to search for the source of the scream...
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking,
While everyone was still speculating about who had heard the scream last night, a woman with tears in her eyes came to every household in Dayao Village, saying that her husband had been attacked by a wild beast that came down from the mountain when he went out to relieve himself last night and had died. She asked the villagers to help her!
Now everyone knows why there was such a heart-wrenching scream last night!
After the villagers of Dayao Village buried the unfortunate man with great fanfare, few people went out at night for a while! They were afraid that some wild beast coming down from the mountain might bite them.
Was this man really killed by a wild beast that came down from the mountain at night? Only a few people in the know know the answer...
Three months later,
Grandma Huang's belly gradually began to swell, and the villagers started to gossip about her, saying that her husband's fate was unknown, and that she couldn't stand being alone and started seducing men, and that she was pregnant.
The villagers of Dayao Village were all talking about it, speculating about whose child the woman was carrying. The village elders were helpless to help Grandma Huang, so they could only ask the villagers to take care of her, one family at a time, until she gave birth and the baby was a month old. Only then did the villagers stop taking care of her. But Grandma Huang, a woman raising a small child alone, lived a very miserable life.
Therefore, when the clan chief and elders proposed that Grandma Huang preside over the sacrificial rites at Dayao Mountain, no one objected. Everyone saw that Grandma Huang was so old, and although she had a child by her side, the child seemed to be a little slow-witted and looked somewhat foolish. The child, who was originally seventeen or eighteen years old, now looked like a two or three-year-old toddler. It was as if time had stopped for her and had no effect on her at all!
The villagers of Dayao Village looked at Grandma Huang's child and felt that the child was a freak, that the child was not normal at all. So the villagers of Dayao Village told their children not to play with this freak-like child.
So, apart from her mother, Grandma Huang's child had no playmates growing up. She would secretly watch the other children in her village play and feel very envious. But whenever she got close to these children, they would either burst into tears or run away as fast as they could when they saw the "freak" their parents had described. Then they would get a beating and scolding from their parents.
Grandma Huang didn't like her child either, because she knew how the child came to be, and her body knew that she could never have children in this life. Her husband knew this too, but he had never disliked her, and she loved him deeply. But then her husband suddenly disappeared, and Grandma Huang felt that her world had turned into darkness, and there was no longer any light like before.
The night before her man disappeared, she was in a daze, but her mind was very clear and she could not move her body. She clearly felt someone walk into her room from outside, come to her bedside and sit down.
Grandma Huang was lying in bed when she felt her bed sink slightly under the weight of this stranger. She felt as if this person was sitting on the edge of her bed and staring intently at her. She could clearly feel the man's gaze!
Suddenly, Grandma Huang felt a corner of the animal skin covering her being gently lifted, and then a hand slowly reached into her bed from the outside!
The hand wandered aimlessly around Grandma Huang's body, as if searching for something, or perhaps for the lovely girl sleeping in the bed.
Grandma Huang tried desperately to move her body, trying to get away from the hand that was groping around inside her bed! But she couldn't control her body at all, and didn't even have the strength to open her mouth and shout!
Just as Grandma Huang was at a loss, a hand suddenly touched her arm! The hand suddenly recoiled as if startled.
Grandma Huang felt a sense of relief, thinking that the hand was scared and would leave once someone was on the bed. However, to Grandma Huang's utter surprise, the mysterious person sitting on the edge of her bed suddenly stretched out two hands and began to move over the animal skin covering her.
Then the mysterious man slowly pressed down on Grandma Huang, reaching his hands inside the animal skin and beginning to gently caress her body.
When two extremely cold hands touched Grandma Huang's skin, she immediately got goosebumps all over! Then a cold lip print began to explore her face, and then found Grandma Huang's lips, gently covering them. Grandma Huang was kissed by this mysterious person until her mind went blank, she couldn't breathe, and she fainted...
In the early morning,
The first rooster crow echoed throughout Dayao Village, and Grandma Huang, who had been in a coma, suddenly woke up with a start! She sat up abruptly in her bed, then blew on a tinderbox and lit her homemade oil lamp.
Grandma Huang quickly checked her body and found nothing wrong. She then checked the door to her room, which was securely bolted and had not been moved at all!
Was it just a dream? If it really was a dream, why did it feel so real? I felt like I was floating on clouds, a feeling I'd never experienced before. Thinking about this, Grandma Huang blushed.
"Squeak!"
Grandma Huang opened her door, and her yard was exactly the same as yesterday, with no changes at all. Her gate was also tightly closed, and no one had opened it. Grandma Huang had even made a mark when she locked the gate.
Was it really just a dream? A cool breeze blew through Grandma Huang's body, which was soaked with sweat. She quickly closed the door. Her clothes, which were soaked with sweat, were sticking to her skin and felt very uncomfortable. Grandma Huang started boiling water and began to prepare for a bath...
As soon as it was light,
Grandma Huang, carrying her tools, prepared to enter Dayao Mountain again to search for her man. However, as night fell, she returned home exhausted and sat alone in the yard, lost in thought. Only when it became very dark did she close her front door, light an oil lamp, and prepare to cook...
That night,
The village of Dayao was quiet, except for the occasional bark of a dog and the occasional meow of a few stray cats. The villagers were all asleep. Grandma Huang was also lying in bed, her eyes wide open in the darkness, showing no signs of sleepiness.
Midnight (11 PM - 1 AM)
Grandma Huang was lying in bed when suddenly her heartbeat grew louder and louder, and she could clearly hear her heart pounding.
Suddenly! Her entire bed began to shake in rhythm with her heartbeat! By the time Grandma Huang realized something was wrong, she was already unable to move!
With a "clang",
The front door of my house was opened, and then footsteps approached from afar, eventually reaching the inner room and opening the door to my bedroom!
He came to the bedside, and instead of groping around like he did the night before, he simply pressed himself against Grandma Huang...
This continued for several nights in a row. Grandma Huang was deeply trapped in this and could not extricate herself. However, she knew that if this continued, something bad would happen to her sooner or later. So, when she went to sleep, she held a pair of scissors in her hand!
At midnight,
Grandma Huang's heartbeat began to grow louder, and her bed, as before, began to shake in rhythm with her heartbeat. The mysterious man pushed open the door and then entered her room with practiced ease.
This time, the mysterious person didn't press down on her or make any other move. Grandma Huang felt that she could still move her body slightly. With great difficulty, Grandma Huang raised her head and saw a dark figure sitting on the edge of the bed at her feet, looking in her direction...
In the days that followed, Grandma Huang would sleep with scissors in her hand. The mysterious person became very wary of her and gradually disappeared, never appearing at night again.
But not long after, she was tricked by a man from the village into going to the mountains and being defiled. When he found out that she hadn't stood up for herself, he thought she was an easy target and started harassing her again. She pretended to be submissive, then pulled the man to the bedside, took out the scissors she had hidden under the pillow, and stabbed them hard into the man's genitals, then vigorously stirred them inside!
The man screamed in pain, then shoved Grandma Huang away violently. He clutched his groin in agony and staggered away...
Warm blood sprayed onto Grandma Huang's face and covered her body. Grandma Huang, completely ignoring the blood, calmly stood up and began cleaning up the bloodstains inside the house. She decided to deal with the bloodstains outside when it was light. However, when she went outside to clean up the bloodstains left by the man, her house was spotless, without a trace of blood!
When Grandma Huang saw the man's wife come to her for help, she readily agreed. She then watched as the man's stiff body was placed into the coffin and offered a few words of comfort to the man's wife...
"Grandma Huang, what do you think?" An elder's voice pulled Grandma Huang back from her reverie.
"Okay! But you have to do exactly what I say. If anyone doesn't believe me and commits a serious offense, I won't be responsible for anything that happens!" Grandma Huang readily agreed.
"Ah? Oh! I understand, I'll tell them!" The clan elder didn't react for a moment. He had only made up an excuse to get the villagers to contribute some money, but he didn't expect that Grandma Huang would actually preside over the sacrificial ceremony!
"When did this Grandma Huang come to our village?"
"Yes? This Grandma Huang seems to have been in our village since we were very young, but we are all so old now, and Grandma Huang is still in our village."
"So the child she gave birth to was also a freak, just like her!"
"It seems that Grandma Huang was already in this village when my grandfather and his family were still around. Now that my great-grandson has agreed to help, Grandma Huang is still the same!"
“If you hadn’t mentioned it, it would have been true. We couldn’t have remembered this old lady at all. Now that we think about it, it feels like she’s everywhere, yet also insignificant. If you hadn’t brought her up, we wouldn’t have remembered Grandma Huang at all.”
"Shh...! Don't say anymore! The more you say, the more scared I get!"
Grandma Huang completely ignored the villagers' pointing and gossiping, and led her child to the altar set up by the villagers.
The altar faces the highest peak of Dayao Mountain—Lingya Peak, a place rarely visited by the villagers of Dayao Village. According to their elders, there are many spiritual herbs on Lingya Peak that can be used to make medicine. As long as you find one, you can stay young forever and live forever. Many villagers flock to it, but they either die inside or go crazy after returning, and they will commit suicide before long!
The villagers felt that Grandma Huang must have eaten the magical herbs and medicines from Lingya Peak to have lived so long! They became even more jealous of Grandma Huang.
Then she looked at the child next to Grandma Huang and felt that Grandma Huang must have dug up a spiritual herb from Lingya Peak and fed it to her child, which is why the child looked like this now, even though he was already in his teens, he looked only three or four years old.
Grandma Huang arrived at the altar, which was filled with all sorts of offerings, and began to praise the magnificence and grandeur of Dayao Mountain, as well as to express the worship and prayers of the villagers of Dayao Village for the protection of the mountain.
Grandma Huang was very solemn and respectful. After completing the dazzling ceremony, she knelt down in front of the altar with great piety, as if she was waiting for something.
Seeing Grandma Huang like this, the villagers behind her couldn't help but kneel down on the ground and began to truly pray to Lingya Peak...
Just as Grandma Huang and the villagers were kneeling for about ten minutes, a light drizzle began to fall from the clear blue sky, gently pattering onto the villagers...
The drizzle lasted for a few minutes and then stopped, leaving everyone's animal skin clothes covered in raindrops.
"Alright, everyone get up! The mountain god has received our wishes. As long as we don't do anything reckless this year, our Dayao Village will be safe and prosperous!" Grandma Huang stood up at some point, looked at the villagers still kneeling on the ground, and slowly said this before leaving with her child...
Everyone looked at Grandma Huang as she left with suspicion and uncertainty. They felt that this woman was becoming more and more unfathomable. Why hadn't they noticed this before?
"Sigh... it still didn't work. It seems this test subject is ruined again, but it's still better than the previous ones. It even made it to the shore of the reincarnation pool. Keep it up, keep trying!" a voice said excitedly.
"Why should we leave this place? Isn't it nice here?"
"Hmph! Very good? You just haven't seen the true nature of this world. Once you do, you might want to leave this place even more than I do!"
"I feel that our hope of leaving this place is very slim!"
Why do you say that? Is there something wrong on your end?
"Hmm! The phantom spirit has already begun to wither!"
"What! Why didn't you say this sooner? Are you trying to get us all killed?"
"What good would it do to tell you? What would happen besides panicking? Would you be able to bring the phantom back to life?"
"You! When did the phantom spirit begin to wither?"
"It was when I picked the last illusion fruit that I felt the illusion spirit had given all its essence to this fruit!"
"No wonder, no wonder this test subject could walk to the shore of the Reincarnation Pool, so that's how it is! Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"Then why didn't you teach me how to create your test subjects sooner? Why did you treat me like an outsider? I'm your apprentice! Do you know that? Your apprentice!"
"Sigh... It's no use saying anything now. Let's just wait here to die!"
"Do you think it's possible that your test subject might suddenly have their subconscious triggered, remember this place, and then return here?"
"No, when I dealt with these illusion fruits, I removed all their memories from the illusion spirits. There was no subconsciousness at all. I also erased all the little tricks you played. I don't want these things to find us in the future and how they will deal with us!"
"Alright! Since the phantom spirit has withered, this place is no longer suitable for us. Let's find another place! Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to escape when the phantom spirit has completely withered!"
"Where else can I go now? You should leave! You're still young. This old man doesn't want to travel around anymore. I want to rest here with Huanling. After all, we've been together for so many years!"
"Master, don't be so pessimistic. It's just a Spirit Tree that can nurture consciousness. What if we leave here and find another Spirit Tree in another place?"
"Don't be delusional. Don't you know that the Illusion Tree takes 1,800 years to sprout, 800 years to become a seedling, 2,000 years to become a significant tree, 2,500 years to bloom, 3,000 years to bear fruit, and 3,500 years to mature? Our Eun clan has guarded this place for thousands of years. Even if we really find it, how long will we have to wait?"
"If we leave here, where can we go? We're homeless now."
“I have prepared a place where you can take our people to live. Then we can slowly find another place. The resources in that place can sustain our people for more than two thousand years. So your task is very important. You must go out and find another place. When that place declines, our people will have a way out!”
"Okay! I've got it!"
Imaginary world
In reality, it was a giant tree full of fantasy. This illusory tree had begun to wither rapidly, losing its former vitality. Its life had come to an end. Countless imaginary spirits began to leave this illusory tree, preparing to find another place to live. However, without the support of the illusory energy of the illusory tree, these imaginary spirits would be like rootless duckweed, and would soon dissipate between heaven and earth...
However, countless spirits chose to leave, preparing to find another Illusion Tree and then reattach to it, while some spirits prepared to live and die together with the Illusion Tree!
Ru Huan was the last fruit on this illusion tree, but her original consciousness had been erased by the tree's illusions. These consciousnesses were useless to these illusory spirits, doing more harm than good. The reason she hadn't erased those innate illusions from the first few illusion fruits was that she almost caused the entire clan to perish. So, the first step for her to pick these illusion fruits was to erase the innate thoughts they contained!
The Illusion Tree is like a giant tree covered with countless stars, which looks like a dream from afar. But now, the star-like creatures on it are leaving their place of life and reproduction, and are going to find another pure land.
Countless creatures streaked across the sky like shooting stars. The migration of these spirits made the already dimming Illusion Tree even darker. Before long, the Illusion Tree would completely turn into a withered tree.
"Boom!"
Before all the imagined spirits could migrate, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in the void and struck the Illusion Tree! A burst of lightning and fire instantly engulfed the entire Illusion Tree, burning countless imagined spirits to death inside. The imagined world was filled with wails. These imagined spirits were like moths, trying to fly up to the Illusion Tree to save their kin, but the explosive lightning and fire burned them all to death inside.
A pair of gigantic hands reached out from the void, grabbed the still-burning Illusion Tree, and began to pull it up! They wanted to uproot the Illusion Tree! Countless spirits witnessed this terrifying scene, their bodies trembling all over. They didn't even have the thought of running away. They all knelt in the void, trembling, and submitted to the pair of suffocatingly oppressive gigantic hands!
Suddenly, another giant hand appeared from the void, broke off a giant branch from the Illusion Tree, and wielded the lightning-burning branch to smash it down on the spirits kneeling in the void who had already submitted!
The imagined world was destroyed! None of the creatures on it survived; they were all annihilated by lightning and fire. The imagined world thus perished, and this world returned to the chaotic world once more...
The children were very envious of the offerings on the altar because their mothers never made such delicious food for them. Some elders, seeing how pitiful the children were, would secretly give them some treats. If their mothers saw or discovered this, they would be severely beaten!
After seeing other people's fathers come from the Dayao Mountains, these children could run to their own fathers to help carry the game, they could act spoiled with their fathers, they could ride on their fathers' shoulders and play happily, they could eat the animals their fathers brought back from the mountains, and they could eat the fragrant meat cooked by their mothers...
These things, which seem very ordinary to ordinary people, are very unattainable and distant to Grandma Huang's children. They feel as if they and these children are from two different worlds.
His mother never scolded him or spoke to him. If he did something wrong or angered her, he would face a violent beating.
Sometimes I would deliberately provoke my mother, hoping she would scold me harshly, but after being beaten repeatedly, I never thought my mother would say a word to me again.
Just like today, during the sacrificial ceremony, the prayers my mother recited were more numerous than all the words she had spoken since giving birth to me.
Just as the clan elders were preparing to give Grandma Huang as payment for the sacrificial ceremony, Grandma Huang refused outright, saying that she didn't need these things! The clan elders looked at the fifteen-year-old child in Grandma Huang's family, who was still barely clothed. Although the child was old, his body was still that of a four-year-old. But this didn't feel right. Grandma Huang didn't even accept the small animal skin clothes that the clan elders offered to the child!
"Grandma Huang, this is not right of you! You can be high-minded if you want, but a child can't be left naked, can he? It's indecent to leave a child like this all the time! He's already fifteen years old! He's almost an adult! What will the people in our village think of you if you do this?" The clan elder immediately lost his temper, he really couldn't stand it anymore.
"Please don't interfere in my family affairs! I have my own reasons!"
"I think your reasoning is completely unreasonable! Look at all the children in our Dayao Village, they all have little ones like yours. Everyone says their children are the apple of their parents' eye, but I feel you are even more vicious than those stepmothers!" Another clan elder said angrily.
"The child is mine, and how I raise him is none of your business. Alright, is there anything else? If not, you can leave!" Grandma Huang said rudely, preparing to chase away the seven or eight elders who were standing up for her child!
"Grandma Huang, everyone has a heart. You should treat your own children well, or you'll know what karma is when you get old!" The clan elder was very angry and left all the things he had brought at Grandma Huang's house. The group left in a huff...
A loud "bang"!
Grandma Huang closed her front door, then grabbed her child by the ear and dragged him into the inner room. She took down a stick that was about as thick as an adult's arm that was hanging on the wall and started smashing it wildly at her child!
Several elderly people who hadn't gone far heard muffled thuds and children's groans coming from Grandma Huang's house. Their faces turned very ugly, knowing that this crazy woman was taking her anger out on her children again!
"Sigh... Let's go. Grandma Huang is right. We have no right to interfere in other people's family affairs. We should be more careful in the future! It's best not to provoke this crazy woman, lest the children suffer!"
"Yes! Maybe this poor child was beaten like this by this crazy woman. Otherwise, it's really a tragedy that someone who is already fifteen years old is still like a four-year-old!"
"Sigh... let's go," the clan chief glanced at Grandma Huang's dilapidated house, sighed, and left with his old companions.
Inside the house,
The child gritted his teeth and persevered, watching his mother smile at him with the same doting look she always had, as if to say, "I'm doing this for your own good!" But the stick in her hand kept hitting him, and he felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him. The child felt as if his bones were covered with countless cracks...
With a clang, Grandma Huang threw the stick she used to hit the child in front of him.
"Do you know why I did this?" Grandma Huang squatted down in front of her child, looking calmly at the child who was covered in bruises and wounds, and asked.
The child first shook his head, then started nodding, looking at his mother with a face full of fear.
“Sigh…we are different from those ordinary people. We shouldn’t have been born into this world, you know?” Grandma Huang looked at the child kneeling on the ground, as if she were talking to her own child, or as if she were talking to herself.
Looking at her child's terrified eyes, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. She had gone through the same thing when she was a child, but her mother couldn't bring herself to do it and committed suicide, which is why she became the way she is now. So, in order to make her child repeat the same mistakes, Grandma Huang was very ruthless in trying to "create" her child.
"You'll understand slowly in time! Do you want to end this kind of life? As long as you swallow this stick, I'll dress you, let you eat meat, and let you receive the same maternal love and warmth as other children!" Grandma Huang said, pointing to the stick, as thick as an adult's arm, that had fallen in front of the child.
The eyes, which had been lifeless, began to light up. Then, looking timidly at her mother, she cautiously stretched out her hand, clenched her fist, and slowly extended her little finger, gazing at her mother with hopeful eyes.
Grandma Huang stared at her child's outstretched little finger, then suddenly realized that her little one wanted to make a pinky promise with her, wanting her to keep her word!
"Naive!" Grandma Huang looked at her child's expectant face, then snorted and left the room...
The child looked distressed, then glanced at the stick beside him that had been used to beat him for over a decade. He deftly picked it up with one hand and began to examine it closely, carefully considering where to start biting...
It's so painful! It's excruciating, like being ripped out of your bones!
The child's face was contorted in pain from the stick! His whole body trembled and convulsed uncontrollably, and he felt that even the air he was breathing tasted extremely bitter!
The child suddenly threw away the "bitter stick" that had been hitting him for more than ten years, feeling a pang of sadness just looking at it!
However, after he recovered, he remembered what his mother had said to him! He picked up the "bitter stick" that he had thrown far away with great disgust, gritted his teeth, opened his mouth wide with a ferocious expression, and bit down hard on the "bitter stick"...
Grandma Huang looked at the tightly closed inner room. Her child hadn't left the room for almost half a month. She wasn't worried about what might happen to her child inside.
Thinking back to when she ate this as a child, Grandma Huang realized that her children must have had similar expressions now. A smile she had never shown before appeared on her face.
