Rebellious Contract Beast

Chapter 101
After putting down the food, she didn't smile and say "It's time to eat" like before. Many times she would leave quickly after delivering the food, or reach out and try to touch her head.

But this time she didn't leave immediately, but sat down on the haystack next to her, staring at the bright moon outside the house in a daze.

Many people are like this, preferring to confide their thoughts to a stranger who meets them by chance, rather than reveal a word to their closest relatives.

At times like this, just be a good listener.

Shen Yi remained silent, looking as if he was working hard to cook.

He can be a perfect listener.

He deliberately slowed down, chewing the roasted meat slowly, even so, unknowingly, there was less and less delicious roasted meat in the basin, and the temperature gradually cooled down.
And Qiuyu next to her was still staring at the moon in a daze.

He turned his head and glanced, the two sides looked at each other, and he quickly looked away.

In the dark, he heard the voice of the other party taking a deep breath, and the faint voice came to his ears, and she asked a question.

"Xuan Li, I heard that you lived in another illusory world before you came to this world. In that world, you should have known many other contracted beasts, right? I don't know if you have ever regretted something you did. ?”

Shen Yi's ears perked up, but he didn't answer.

Of course there is an answer to this question, everyone will regret, just big or small, not perfect, when you get something, you will also regret the loss of another thing.

This is inevitable.

He doesn't have too many connotative, deep, and tearful stories. Like most people, what he tells is just a plain and uninteresting journal.

It's nothing more than the trivial things of life that make people annoying.

I just made up numbers in the world, took a look at that world in less than a hundred years, and then left.

There was regret for regret, but not to the point of heartbreak.

Knowing that Shen Yi couldn't speak, Qiu Yu didn't expect him to be able to answer anything, just as he thought, she just needed someone to confide in.

"Do you know, I was born in a village in Yingzhou, Yu State, when the army was in turmoil, the local lord took all the food from the villagers in order to hand over the food for the soldiers, which caused a famine there, I don't know how I survived , I only know that Dongyin people say that we survived by eating grass.”

"I vaguely remember such a scene. As long as I can remember, we went to Daliang Hengzhou. I heard from my parents that we couldn't bear the hunger there, so we fled. But on the way to escape, we met a group of people who occupied The mountain is the king of the soldiers and bandits who escaped thanks to a knight who happened to pass by and rescued us, but afterwards my father's hands were chopped off, my second brother's leg was also eaten, and my mother was injured and died. The root cause of the disease has been found, and I have been bedridden for many years..."

Qiu Yu paused, her voice choked with sobs.

"Later we followed a man named Liu Dasheng and fled to Renxi Town, Hengzhou. Only my elder brother and I were left with healthy hands and feet. At that time, I was young, and all the burdens of the family fell on my elder brother. I work hard for others and don’t come back until late at night, but my elder brother is a very cheerful and lively person, just like a child, you know?”

It seemed that she was talking about something happy, and Qiu Yu smiled while talking, but the smile didn't last long, and was covered by the tears flowing from the corners of her eyes.

Shen Yi's heart sank, such stories are often followed by tragedies, as expected, what Qiu Yu said next proved this point.

"He often bullies me and my second brother, puts us in a basket to prevent us from standing up, and pretends to be a monster in the middle of the night to scare us for fun. At that time, I thought he was very annoying, just like a bully who bullies others on the street every day, but Bullies bully us, but they also bully other people, but my eldest brother, he only knows how to bully my second brother and me, and he behaves like a coward in front of others."

"Second brother always told me to be patient with him, but I didn't listen. One time my elder brother teased me and accidentally broke the butterfly that my second brother and I had made with rattan in three days. It could be exchanged for a lot of money. At that time I really hated him to death, and wanted to take revenge on him, so I went out in a panic, crying and complaining that my elder brother molested me..."

"Ah?" Hearing this, Shen Yi was stunned for a second, then turned to look at Qiu Yu.

Tears blurred her eyes, she didn't notice Shen Yi's gaze, and said to herself.

What happened after that was that angry people rushed into Qiu Yu's house and beat up her elder brother. Fortunately, the misunderstanding was cleared up in the end, and her elder brother was not in danger of life.

As she said, Brother Qiuyu has always been a cheerful and lively person. Although he became silent after that night, Qiuyu believes that her elder brother will return to normal in a short time and continue to be with her and the second brother. Laughing and playing.

But the matter was far from over. In the middle of the night, when the young Qiu Yu went to apologize, she only saw the other party who had committed suicide.

The only pillar collapsed, which was a devastating blow to a family, although it was finally learned from the second brother that the eldest brother was bullied by others when he went out to do coolies during the day, and teasing them was just to relieve the depression in his heart.

But things have happened, and it can no longer be remedied.

The bleak night wind swayed his body, and the moonlight cast shadows on the wall swaying non-stop, leaving an indelible shadow in her heart for the rest of her life.

One has to live, but Qiuyu, the only one with sound limbs, was only seven or eight years old at that time, how could she take on the heavy responsibility of the family?
All she can do is sell herself!
At a price of 25 guan, which is less than a cow, she became a maid in Tsurumi Mansion.

Speaking of this, Qiu Yu had long been weeping, she crawled on Shen Yi's body sobbing, her tears streaked across the densely arranged scales, taking away some stains.

"I didn't do it on purpose, I never thought of forcing him to die, really... woo woo... I was just confused for a while, woo woo, I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

Shen Yi couldn't comfort her.

cry.

cry.

It might be better to cry.

She didn't know how long she cried, but she stopped, wiped away her tears, and smiled.

"Xuan Li, thank you for listening to me, I should go back."

She stood up and was about to leave, but stopped after a few steps.

"By the way, I may have to go home to visit relatives in a few days, and it will take a long time to come back. You must be obedient in front of the lady, and don't be like yesterday... Did the lady come to you yesterday? You Not to her..."

Thinking of something impossible to happen, Qiu Yu was shocked, but quickly shook her head, "You are the god of fate, you shouldn't do anything to her, right? The lady is very angry today, and they all went to the main peak to retreat and practice painstakingly. "

Qiuyu changed quickly, and put aside the sad things of the past in a short while.

Shen Yi listened quietly, licking her gums with her tongue.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

Seeing that it was getting late, Qiu Yu trotted away from the beast hall.

Without the previous depression, her steps became much lighter.

Looking at her back, Shen Yi sighed inwardly: "What a silly girl, she still cares about the old witch." After sighing, Shen Yi turned his attention to what she said before.

Is she going home to visit relatives, or going to Renxi Town?
It seems quite far away, so you can't go alone, right?
