Chapter 228
Looking at the young man, and then at the empty counter, my head suddenly went numb. The tailor's ruler was still in my hand, and the 50 yuan was also on the table. What just happened could not be my imagination.

The young man saw the tailor's ruler in my hand and the money on the table. He showed me his four front teeth and said, "Oh, you want to buy a tailor's ruler? How do you know our store sells this thing? This ruler is on the shelf. There……"

The young man counted it with his fingers, and then said: "Anyway, I had it before I was born... It has been on display for so long and it has not been sold! It seems that it is destined to you. This is an old thing, and it is absolutely worth it." It’s worth it, you’ve earned it.”

The young man lowered his head and opened the cash drawer, put 50 yuan in it, and started chatting, "That's what's good about our village. People are honest and united. I never close the door when I go out and have nothing to do. I never lose anything. I have to do everything I want to buy." You’re using the change you paid for yourself!”

Listening to his sputtering words, I had already burst into tears: Brother, what you are selling is dead people's things. What thief would steal such taboo things?Can guests make change by themselves?That's because someone is selling things for you, right?
The more I listened, the more numb I became, "Brother, are you the only one looking after this store?"

He closed the cash box, took out his mobile phone and earbuds to listen to music, and nodded, "Yes, since grandma passed away a year ago, I have been the one to look after the store. For such a big store, I can only have one. My parents She's working in the fields!...But she just runs out to see my Xiaofang occasionally."

Speaking of Xiaofang, the young man was a little shy.

"Your grandma...she, is she dark and thin, wearing a blue flowered cloth, her face is not good, but she is in good spirits." The hairs all over my body were "shuzzy", my heart rate was quickening, and cold sweat was gurgling on my forehead. .

"You don't look like a native of this village. Do you know my grandma?" the young man said warmly.

The muscles on my face twitched, I turned around and ran out desperately.

The young man shouted from behind me, "The dark road is hard to walk, don't make such a noise when you run..."

After running out of Sangbai Store, I couldn't help but look back. The young man shouted anxiously at me in front of the store, and behind him, behind the counter, stood the old lady.

I didn't see her open her mouth, but I could clearly hear a low and slow voice: Slow down! Let's go!Come again next time, be sure to keep the ruler, you need it~

My eyes widened and my legs weakened with fear, but I didn't dare to scream. I staggered and ran to the street on the right. This time, I never dared to look back.

I didn't dare to throw away the tailor's ruler in my hand, for fear that the old lady would find out and come to me to settle accounts at night. It was more important to find my son.

I searched carefully all the way. When I passed Uncle Deyang's house, I heard the sound of chickens and ducks squawking from their poultry house. There was a commotion under the dead night, and then a cold and shrill howl came from the poultry house. came out, cutting through the gloomy night sky.

Then Uncle Deyang rushed out of the house and ran straight to the poultry house, cursing, "You bastard, let's see if I don't skin you."

I looked through the iron gate, and with only a little light, I saw a small figure suddenly appear on the roof of the poultry house. He also had a dead chicken in his mouth. He first landed on the roof of the poultry house, and then jumped out of the wall.

Although there wasn't enough light to see the man's face clearly, his figure looked similar to that of my Hong Rui.This child is so disobedient, I am really angry.

Uncle Deyang ran out with two dead chickens and yelled, saying that a weasel had visited their poultry house and killed many chickens and ducks, many of which had been sucked dry of blood. This weasel had become a vampire.

More and more villagers were watching. I didn’t know how to comfort Uncle Deyang. I was filled with guilt and embarrassment. I wanted to take out some money to compensate him, but I had no reason. I thought I’d better go to the market tomorrow and buy some chickens and ducks. Just put it back secretly at night.

When I got home angrily, my grandparents seemed to be in a meeting, so I ignored them and hurried back to my room.

When I saw Hongrui, he was jumping up and down happily on the bed with some blood on the corner of his mouth. When he saw me entering the room, he giggled and rushed over.

I shouted sharply: "Stand up for me."

Hong Rui jumped up in fright, froze in the air for a moment, then slowly landed on the ground, picking his nails dejectedly, not daring to look at me.

I happened to have the tailor's ruler I just bought in my hand, which was perfect for use as a ruler. Suddenly a thought flashed through my mind, could this be the purpose of the old lady selling me the tailor's ruler?
I raised the mahogany ruler and asked ferociously, "Say, what are you doing?"

Hong Rui raised his head and looked at the red wooden ruler with fear, and pointed at his small mouth and belly, which meant that he was hungry and wanted to eat, and then made an expression that looked like he had done something wrong.

Quite honest, a bit like me, ahem, but that's not the point.

"Did you eat raw food secretly?" I asked again. He hesitated and nodded sheepishly.

It was really him, and I was so angry that my head hurt on the spot.

"What did mother tell you? You are human, you can't drink raw blood, and human beings have to eat cooked food, and you get it through normal channels. You can't listen to these words, right... Come here, spread your hands." I said Shouted sharply, in fact, I couldn't bear to beat the child when he was just born, but he is not an ordinary child, and big trouble will happen if he is not educated.

Hong Rui walked over obediently and stretched out his chubby little hands pitifully. Tears were already rolling in his eyes and his mouth was flat.

I gritted my teeth and raised the red wooden ruler high in the air, swung it down, paused on his palm, struck hard, and struck it down.

There was a snap, and Xiao Hongrui's hand shook, and his face turned red because he couldn't bear it, and my heart was broken.

Seeing his pitiful look with his eyes closed in fear, when I raised it again, the red wooden ruler could no longer go down.

Such a cute, innocent child, he has only been in this world for a short time, what does he know?
I really can't do it. No wonder others say that a loving mother often loses her children. It seems that I don't have the temperament to be a strict mother. I can't bear to spank my children, and I can't reason.

I was a little annoyed that I couldn't educate my children, so I threw the red wooden ruler on the ground, sat on the ground and cried childishly, lifting up my pajamas to wipe my tears. "I can't blame you, it's just that I don't know how to be a mother."

When Hong Rui saw me crying, he ran over and sat next to me, and started crying too.

The grandparents outside the house heard the crying and ran over to knock on the door, "What's the matter, Lei Lei? The child is crying, why are you crying too?"

I immediately covered my mouth, Hong Rui also covered, he was imitating me.

"Shh, let's not cry." I whispered to him. He nodded, stuck out his tongue and licked the tears on his lips. He probably felt it was salty and frowned.

I responded to my relatives outside the door: "It's okay, we are just having fun!"

"Leilei, please open the door. We have something to discuss with you." Mom said.
