Uncle, stay safe

Chapter 2

A fenced yard, a squat but very new mud house, this is her home, her home in this life!
"Mother, I'm back!" He ran into the yard with his calves upside down, and the chickens and ducks in the yard were jumping around, very happy.

Hearing Xi Yanyi's shout, a slender figure came out of the kitchen, a young woman wearing simple clothes, a simple bun, a beautiful and elegant face, exuding a strong classical beauty.But the fly in the ointment is that her face is very pale, and her lips are purple. This is the face of a person who has been ill for a long time. Looking at her, Xi Yanyi couldn't help but let out a sigh. She may not live for a long time, tuberculosis It is not curable!
Seeing Xi Yanyi running over, the woman's face exuded a lot of love, and she reached out to wipe the mud on her face, while accusing her dotingly, "Look at you, you're crazy, your face is covered in mud, really Dirty. Hurry up and wash your face, let's eat after washing your face!"

Xi Yanyi nodded quickly, "Okay, I'll go wash it now!" After finishing speaking, he ran back to the house to wash his face, and Xi Yanyi stopped jumping where the woman could not see, shook his neck, and sighed like a little girl. The child is really tired, he has to run and jump at every turn, he is exhausted!

It was night, and Xi Yan inspected the 'nail array' hidden under the soil at the foot of the fence as usual, which was specially designed by her to deal with the little hooligans in the village.

Because there is no father in the family, only her and the gentle and sick mother, so there are always some hooligans and bachelors who make trouble.

The mother is weak and unable to resist, so she can only do it for her, but she is also happy to do these things, and she can hear the screams of pain every night, she is very excited, if her masterpiece does not get what she wants She will be very frustrated!
"Yiyi, it's getting dark, come back quickly!" The gentle mother stood at the door and called her, Xi Yanyi immediately smiled childishly and innocently, then turned around and ran towards her bouncing and kicking.

"Yiyi, have you changed the direction of those things again?" The woman smiled softly, her beautiful face was a little paler under the dim yellow candlelight, her lips were purple and her breathing was a little weak, her condition was getting worse serious!
Xi Yanyi raised her small face, her delicate peach eyes curved into crescent moons, "Of course, it would be good to surprise him!"

"Look at you, you look like a little adult! Come on, mother will give you a bath and then go to bed!" After closing the door, the woman took Xi Yanyi's hand and went back to the room to take a bath.

A boy's clothes were taken off, revealing a girl's body, women would sigh at this time, Xi Yanyi looked down at her, and swallowed the words she wanted to ask again!

Immersed in the warm small bucket, Xi Yanyi breathed a long sigh of relief, the woman looked at her tenderly, took a cloth towel to scrub her, wiped it carefully, and gently washed her hair, every The movements were full of strong maternal love, Xi Yanyi closed her eyes, wanting to feel the happiness at this moment, maybe in the next moment, this happiness will disappear!
Happiness is really short-lived. The gentle mother was still bathing her the night before, and she was still telling stories when she was sleeping. In the middle of the night, the two of them listened to the screams coming from the yard and laughed together. In the morning, they heard her coughing , but when the sun rose, she closed her eyes forever, she couldn't see the sun, she couldn't feel the breeze, she couldn't see the daughter she gazed at tenderly every day, and she left forever this world.

Xi Yanyi was very calm, watching her neighbors undress her into the coffin, watching them bury her, watching everyone's sympathetic gazes towards her, watching the little bastard who always jumps on the wall of their house in the middle of the night on weekdays is sad She has always been very calm, and she has seen life and death very clearly!
Neighbors invited her to live in their home, but Xi Yanyi refused with a smile. People looked at her with worry and pity. Such a young child has to bear the pain of losing his parents, and he doesn't know how to go on the road ahead.

Back at their home, the chickens and ducks were still jumping around in the yard, Xi Yan still fed them as usual, and watered the flowers and plants in the yard as usual, everything seemed like mother was still there.

The neighbors saw Xi Yanyi's actions, and apart from sympathy, there was also a little fear. It was really hard to understand why such a small child didn't show any sadness after losing his only snuggle.

Ergou came here often, and when he came, he secretly brought some steamed buns and pickles from their family, and sometimes he even stole a few boiled eggs for her.Xi Yan obeyed everything, and the food was delicious, and Ergou would always smile naively at this time.

Days passed day by day, and Xi Yanyi's life went on as usual. Suddenly, an unexpected visitor came to the village, disrupting all the peace and the leisurely life Xi Yanyi imagined.

A group of horses walked into this quiet village when the sun was in the middle of the sky. Ten horses walked in twos. The vigorous horses were all covered with silver-white iron masks, which reflected the sun's light very dazzlingly.

Immediately sat ten young men dressed as bodyguards with extraordinary appearances, all dressed in white clothes, with dazzling golden belts around their waists, and shiny swords around their waists, to show that strangers should not approach them!
The horses walked at the same pace, walking along the dirt road of the village, splashing countless dust.A luxurious carriage followed behind, and the two horses pulling the carriage were bright in color, the same in size, and the same in color. Although the dirt road had many potholes, there was no sign of any bumps in the carriage.

The carriage is carved with exquisite patterns, and the golden tassels are rippling as the carriage walks. Behind the carriage, there are also ten horses accompanying them in parallel. Sitting immediately is still the guard in white clothes, with a golden belt around his waist. With a dazzling sword.

When did such people come to such a small village? Every family, adults and children, rushed out to watch. They were either rich or expensive. I just didn’t know what these people came to this remote village for, or whom they came to see. ?Or someone's relative?

The horse kicked across a small bridge and walked towards the narrow path on the left. The carriage behind couldn't get in, so it had to stop on the small bridge.

Xi Yanyi was sitting in front of the fence, the big tree by the door blocked her from the sun, her short legs were casually put together, her upper body was leaning against the dirt wall, her slightly narrowed peach blossom eyes were looking at the front without a fixed focus, The pink lips were slightly raised, and the half-smile look was extremely inconsistent with this age.
