Chapter 269
"Qilang, don't be afraid, it won't hurt at all. When your brother recovers, he will be able to lead you out to play."

The young Tian Chuying nodded softly, "Aniang, what is fear, I have never been afraid."

He said, tilting his head.

The doors and windows of the house were closed, because the windows had not been opened for a long time to ventilate, and the smell of blood mixed with the smell of medicine made people uncomfortable.

The maple leaves outside the house are as red as the charcoal inside the house.

My brother's name is Chu Feng. In the year he was born, A Niang planted a maple tree in his yard.

As Tian Chuying said, she covered the candlelight on the table with the palm of her hand, and her heart ached from the fire, but Tian Chuying didn't seem to feel it, and asked, "Mother, brother, is this just fear?"

As long as he can remember, he has lived alone.

No one taught him what to be afraid of, and no one would protect him when he was afraid.

Madam Tian and Tian Chufeng were full of horror.

The person in front of him had his hands on fire, but he showed no signs of fear, and was eerily calm.

The old nanny at the side stepped forward and pulled Tian Chuying's hand off, "My good brother, what are you doing? You're scaring my fifth brother."

Tian Chuying glanced at her hands suspiciously, "Are you scared? I heard from my master that when I grow up, I will cut open my stomach and let the Gu worms in my brother's body crawl to my body along with the blood. tummy."

"We are siblings, and the Gu worm can't tell who is who. When he eats my liver and intestines, the master will kill the Gu worm. At that time, my brother will be fine."

Tian Chuying's voice was crunchy, full of childishness.

But Tian Chufeng, who was half lying on the bed, felt his scalp go numb, and he looked at Mrs. Tian in disbelief, "Aniang, is what my brother said true? This is absolutely impossible!"

Mrs. Tian turned her head away uncomfortably, and gave Tian Chuying a look, "This child is young, and I don't know where I heard the gossip, so I brought it in front of your brother."

"How can such a thing happen? If Gu worms want to eat internal organs, why use you, cats or dogs will do."

Tian Chuying nodded thoughtfully.

"Oh, that brother needs to get better soon."

Tian Chufeng's illness would not kill him, but it was a heart-pounding pain, and every time it flared up, it would make life worse than death.

Ever since Tian Chuying could remember, he had hardly been seen staying in the couch.

His mother pressed him into the nest like an old hen guarding its cubs.

Several days passed.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Tian rubbed her eyes, beat her arms and legs, and stood up with some difficulty.

Last night, Wulang's old illness relapsed again. She kept watch all night, and she fell asleep peacefully when it was almost dawn.

As she thought about it, she opened the door in a state of desperation, and was about to go out, but was frightened out of her wits.

I saw a few cats and dogs standing in front of the house, all of which had been disemboweled and bloody.

Mrs. Tian screamed, and when she raised her head suddenly, she saw Tian Chuying standing under the maple tree.

He always held a small dagger in his hand, tilted his head, and said to Mrs. Tian, ​​"Mother, I have prepared the kittens and puppies, and we are going to start bloodletting brother so that the Gu worms will come out." ?”

Mrs. Tian looked at the smile on his face, then at the blood dripping from his hands, and finally couldn't help but hugged her head, and roared crazily.

"You lunatic! You lunatic! This is raised by Feng'er!"

Tian Chufeng was sick all the year round, Mrs. Tian was afraid that he would be bored, so she raised a cat and a dog for him in the yard. The cat gave birth to a litter of kittens this spring, a total of three.

When Tian Chufeng is in better health, she will carry him out to bask in the sun and pet the cats and dogs.

Now, all those who thank cats and dogs have been killed by Tian Chuying.

How old is he, and he is so ruthless.

Mrs. Tian looked at him in horror, lifted her skirt, and hopped out.

It was very quiet in the courtyard, and the servants all hid in the house, not daring to say anything.

Tian Chuying stepped over the corpse of the kitten and puppy, walked into the room, and washed the blood on her hands with Tian Chufeng's copper basin.

On the stand of the washbasin was a white cloth for washing face. Tian Chuying wiped her hands, leaving a faint bloody handprint on it.

"Brother," he said, sitting in front of the small round stool beside the bed.

Because of his thinness, Tian Chufeng's eyes looked huge. He quietly looked away, and looked at the well-behaved Tian Chuying who was sitting in front of him.

"It's the first time for us brothers to sit together like this alone. A Niang is always reluctant to part with me, and I don't want to die, but I can't exchange your life for mine."

Tian Chuying didn't know, so he turned his head and pointed at the dead cats and puppies at the door, "Then can their lives be exchanged for yours?"

Tian Chufeng took a deep look at Tian Chuying, he stretched out his hand with difficulty, and touched his little head, "Yes. You give me the dagger. Then go and get Ping An and Changsheng."

Ping An is the name of the yellow cat, and Chang Sheng is the name of the dog.

Mrs. Tian even wanted to name the reptiles in the house Longevity.

Tian Chuying nodded, handed the bloody dagger to Tian Chufeng, and walked towards the door.

He bent down and grabbed the two dead animals. There was still heat on their bodies, as if they were still alive.

Tian Chuying turned around and walked in, the room was very quiet.

Tian Chufeng lay there on the bed, motionless.

There was blood all over his neck, and he was still holding the dagger in his hand, with bright red blood dripping down his fingertips.

Without a word, Tian Chuying put the dead body of the cat and dog under his hands, and the blood dripped on it.

Mrs. Tian, ​​who went back and forth, saw this scene when she entered the door.

"You're crazy! If I knew you were such a lunatic, why would I give birth to you! Why don't you die! I want you to die, I just want my Feng'er to live!"

Mrs. Tian slapped her head and face, but Tian Chuying didn't dodge. He looked at Tian Chufeng's body quietly with a red and swollen face, "Brother, I seem to know what it means to be afraid."

He said, then turned his head to look at Mrs. Tian, ​​"Aniang, you may have made a mistake somewhere. The Gu worm didn't come out, it doesn't like to eat the internal organs of kittens and puppies."

"Maybe, it thinks that Ping An and Longevity are not good-looking! I know that Mrs. Jiang has a lot of cats and dogs in his house, and there must be some good-looking ones. I'll catch them and feed them to the Gu insects!"

Mrs. Tian slapped him across the face, "Why don't you die!"

……

"Why don't you die!" Tian Chuying muttered to herself looking at Mrs. Tian's body lying on the ground.

"It turns out that you really wanted me to die. Instead of feeding me to Gu worms, you set up a trap by committing suicide. You want me to be a mother-killer, which is not tolerated by heaven and earth. It would be fine if I was the one who died. Originally, I shouldn't have come into this world."

As Tian Chuying said, when he heard footsteps at the door, he pulled out the dagger stuck in Mrs. Tian's body and looked towards the door.

He smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "If I die, there won't be so many people in this world who will die by my hands."
