The voices coming from under the tree were coming from his stepmother.
"Big brother, come out quickly, Mother will take you home."
The boy was listless, but he could still hear the woman's words clearly.
He really didn't expect his stepmother to come looking for him. What did she want from him?
The eldest son thought for a moment with his groggy head, and figured it was probably because he could work in the fields and was the only able-bodied person in the family...
He forced a pale smile; he really didn't want to die. How could he take revenge if he died?
Hatred welled up in his dark eyes, and guided by his emotions, he became somewhat more spirited.
Weren't you here to find him?

Xu Jingrun was the first to notice the movement in the grass in the distance. He smiled and said to the figure under the tree, "Mother, you are so good to me."
In the next life, don't be my mother.
Xu Jingrun closed his eyes and quietly awaited what was to come.
The woman's abruptly stopped scream, the wild boar's roar, and the dull thud of a heavy object falling to the ground mingled together...
Xu Jingrun said he had never heard such a beautiful sound before. He closed his eyes, a strange smile on his lips, and fell into a deep sleep.
