Chu Tianying stood with her hands behind her hands, feeling quite proud of the others.

Luo Mo stood beside Chu Tianying, his face unchanged and expressionless.

The Truman disciples knelt down on one knee and shouted in unison: "Long live the leader! Long live the Truman!"

In this shocking voice, Chu Tianying looked back at Chu Zhongtian, only to find that Chu Zhongtian was also looking at her, their eyes facing each other, as if there were thousands of words in her eyes, but she didn't know where to say them.

rise.

Luo Mo glanced at Chu Zhongtian and saw that his breath was like silk, his face was pale, and the front of his clothes was red. He couldn't help but sigh softly, and looked at Chu Tianying silently, with a complicated look in his eyes, but in the end he turned around without saying a word.

Sweeping toward the mountains behind Chumen, he looked like a white crane and as powerful as a swimming dragon. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.

Chu Tianying walked through the crowd like a noble queen, with all her subjects crawling at her feet.

In the distance, Chu Tiannan trotted towards her sister. Chu Tianying hugged Chu Tiannan's petite body. A startling smile appeared on her cold face, and she gently rubbed Chu Tiannan.

The man's round little head gently wiped away the tears that were pouring from the corners of Chu Tian's eyes, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, it's okay..."

Chu Tiannan couldn't bear it any longer and cried "Wow". His cries were intermittent and seemed to be mixed with a few words of grievance and worry.

Chu Tianying smiled and comforted her, her smile getting thicker.

Perhaps only when facing Chu Tiannan, this ruthless and ruthless prodigy that the Truman family rarely encounters in a hundred years, would she show an innocent smile befitting her age...

This is a kind of sadness, but I don’t know whose sadness it is. Maybe it’s Chu Tianying’s sadness, maybe it’s Chu Tiannan’s sadness, maybe it’s Truman’s sadness, maybe it’s the sadness of this martial arts world...

Chu Tianying gently put Chu Tiannan down, held her little hand tightly in his, and led her slowly through the kneeling crowd towards Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Tianying walked to and stood in front of Chu Zhongtian. There was no sadness or joy on her face, but her eyes were staring at Chu Zhongtian like a sword.

Chu Tiannan seemed to be frightened by his sister's reaction, and seemed to have guessed what was about to happen. His little face was full of fear, sweat dripped from the tip of his nose, and the little hand held by Chu Tianying unconsciously

Hold Chu Tianying's big hand tightly.

Chu Tianying felt Chu Tiannan's nervousness, smiled unconsciously, let go of Chu Tiannan, leaned down, and whispered to Chu Tiannan to play aside, Chu Tiannan nodded desperately, and Chu Tianying lightly

Gently scratching the tip of Chu Tiannan's nose, he smiled softly, as bright as a lotus flower.

Chu Tiannan just ran away for two steps, but suddenly stopped, turned to look at her sister, her eyes were full of hesitation, and her small hands were entangled with each other unconsciously, as if she had something on her mind to talk to Chu Tianying.

.

Finally, Chu Tiannan mustered up the courage, ran to Chu Tianying, took Chu Tianying's hand, and begged in a low voice: "Sister, please don't kill your father, okay?"

Chu Tianying was stunned for a moment, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions. In an instant, all the ups and downs, sweetness, bitterness, and bitterness came to her heart. She squatted down, forced out a smile, and nodded with a smile.

Chu Tiannan burst into tears and smiled, his smile as bright as a spring flower. Chu Tianying could not help but be stunned. Since her mother passed away, she had not seen Chu Tiannan smile like this from the heart for many years, as if he had given her

worldwide.

Chu Tiannan still seemed uneasy, and finally forced Chu Tianying to make an agreement with her by pulling a hook. When the familiar phrase "hanging with a hook will not change for a hundred years." rang in Chu Tianying's ears again, she looked at Chu Tiannan

Running into the distance with joy, Chu Tianying couldn't help but have her thoughts racing, as if she had returned to that time...

…

…

In my memory, my mother always has a smiling face, as if there are many things that make her happy, and her hearty laughter often echoes over the small courtyard where they live, floating for a long time.

At that time, Chu Tiannan was still young and Chu Tianying was just a little girl. They lived in a separate courtyard with their mother.

It is not so much a separate courtyard, but an abandoned courtyard with no one living in it. I still remember that when they first arrived, the door was only half a door, and it seemed that it was about to fall down at any time. There was a well in the courtyard, but it was a well.

The dry well, looking down from the edge of the well, is filled with the corpses of various animals. They are probably animals that accidentally fell into the well and could never climb out again. There are overgrown weeds and dead branches and willows in the courtyard.

A small thatched house with no doors and only window frames. A gust of wind passed by, and a few pieces of broken window paper waved on the window frames, as if they were being persuaded by ghosts. There was not even a decent furnishing in the house.

, there is no table, no chairs, not even a bed, the window faces north, there is no sunlight all year round, and the room exudes a disgusting musty smell. Although the environment they lived in before was not good, it is different from this place.

In comparison, Chu Tianying felt that the past was simply a fairyland on earth.

That night, Huang Yue hugged Chu Tianying and Chu Tiannan and huddled in a corner of the house. It was late autumn, and their bodies were only covered with moldy and dry grass picked up from the yard. There were fleas in the grass from time to time.

Reptiles and other things jumped on them and harassed them. Huang Yue held the two sisters tightly in her arms, but she leaned against the cold wall and curled up into a ball.

Chu Tianying was lying in her mother's warm arms, but she could feel her mother's trembling body and her sometimes long and sometimes rapid breathing. She knew that her mother was too cold to sleep.

The cold wind poured in through the windows without paper and quickly took away their body temperature. In Chu Tianying's eyes, those ostentatious pieces of window paper were like a coquettish bitch who seduced her father to abandon their mother and daughter. She just wanted to tear them apart.

picked it up, crushed it into pieces, and threw it into the dry well.

At that time, Chu Tiannan was still young and could not sleep due to the cold at night, so he just howled and cried. The whistling wind and Chu Tiannan's hoarse cry made him cry in this silent ice-like night and this lonely and uninhabited house.

In the courtyard, it seemed particularly harsh.

At this time, Huang Yue smiled and stroked Chu Tiannan's head, asking her to get closer to him, but the cold was still pervasive, chilling to the bone, just like their ruthless father.

Huang Yue still smiled and sang a tune from her hometown for them. Her mother's soft voice accompanied by the gentle singing was like a warm current flowing into Chu Tianying's heart. She felt that she was not that cold anymore, but her heart was cold.

What's more.

That night, Huang Yue also told them many stories about her adventures in the martial arts world when she was young. Chu Tianying remembered the phrase "the stone covers the beautiful clouds, and the moon reaches the sky", which was resounding in the martial arts world at that time. She also knew

It turns out that Chu Zhongtian was not the first man that her mother liked. It was only after many things happened that her mother decided to marry Chu Zhongtian. At that time, Chu Tianying thought to herself that this might be the most regretful thing in her mother's life.

It's decided.

But until later, until her mother was dying, she never complained about Chu Zhongtian, let alone regretted marrying Chu Zhongtian. For this reason, Chu Tianying also secretly complained in her heart that her mother was so infatuated with love.

It's stupid...

Chu Tianying didn't know when she fell asleep. She only knew that she fell asleep slowly amid her mother's gentle words and the whistling of the cold wind. In her dream, she didn't feel cold at all...

The next day, when the morning sunshine filled the courtyard, Chu Tianying was awakened by the sound of orioles on the branches. Chu Tiannan was still nestled in her mother's arms, sleeping soundly, with a smile on her red face.

His mouth was moving in a murmur, as if he was talking in his sleep.

Seeing Chu Tiannan's cute appearance, Chu Tianying couldn't help but smile.

When she looked at her mother, she was shocked by the scene in front of her.

The mother's expression seemed to be extremely painful, her face was livid, her brows were furrowed, she was biting her lips so hard that they turned blue, and her back was bent like a fully drawn bow, with the bowstring being Chu Tiannan in her arms.

Huang Yue's body trembled from time to time, which was a side effect of enduring too much cold.

Chu Tianying saw it and felt pain in her heart. She couldn't help but call out softly: "Mother!"

Huang Yue seemed to hear her daughter's call in her dream. She opened her eyes with difficulty and saw Chu Tianying looking at her with worry on her face. She smiled at Chu Tianying again, her lips moved, as if she wanted to say something to her.

Chu Tianying said "It's okay", but before she could say anything, she fainted.

When she woke up again, instead of seeing sunlight, she could see the light of fire, the sky was full of stars, and a bonfire was burning not far from her. The blazing fire radiated heat, soothing her cold body. She was in a blur.

In his line of sight, he saw two thin figures squatting next to the fire. There was a broken pot on the fire. The soup in the pot was boiling. I don't know what was cooking.

Chu Tiannan was the first to notice that Huang Yue was awake. She waved her little hands excitedly and flew into Huang Yue's arms, then cried bitterly. The cry was louder and more aggrieved than when she woke up from the cold last night.

Huang Yue smiled, hugged Chu Tiannan, kept stroking Chu Tiannan's little head, and said some comforting words to her.

Chu Tianying also stood up, but stood not far away, suppressing her inner excitement and looking at them quietly, with her back to the firelight, her face hidden in the shadows, but the shining light in her eyes could be seen.

For a long time, Chu Tianying said silently: "Let's eat, it's cooked..."

After saying that, Chu Tianying turned around, took out a stone bowl, cleaned it in a wooden bucket, picked up the spoon in the pot, and scooped out a bowl of hot soup for Huang Yue.

Huang Yue looked at Chu Tianying and couldn't help but tears welling up in her eyes. The spoon was not big, but it seemed so heavy in Chu Tianying's young hands.

Seeing Chu Tianying tremblingly bringing the hot soup to herself, Huang Yue hurriedly wiped away the tears in her eyes and took it with a smile. She saw a few vegetable leaves and damaged mushrooms floating in the soup, and there was even something at the bottom of the bowl.

There is half a chicken leg.

Huang Yue was extremely surprised. The vegetable leaves and mushrooms were understandable, but where did this chicken leg come from? Could it be...

Thinking of this, Huang Yue's pretty face suddenly turned cold. She put the stone bowl aside and called Chu Tianying to her side.

Chu Tianying didn't say a word and walked to Huang Yue obediently.

Huang Yue angrily scolded: "Kneel down!" There is an old saying: "You will starve to death without eating the food that comes to you." Although she has a gentle temperament, she pays most attention to moral integrity. Theft is the most shameful thing for her.

It is also the most disdainful thing to do.

Chu Tianying looked at Huang Yue in surprise. She had never seen her mother lose such a temper. Although she didn't know what was going on, she still knelt down obediently.

Huang Yue was extremely angry, her body was shaking like chaff, and her speech became intermittent, "I...I ask you...where...this chicken leg came from..."

Although Chu Tianying was not good at words, she had the most stubborn temperament. Although she knew that she was wronged, she insisted on not explaining.

But in Huang Yue's view, Chu Tianying's silence was tantamount to acquiescing to his theft. Therefore, he became even more angry, picked up a wooden stick, raised it, and wanted to hit Chu Tianying.

Chu Tiannan knew what had happened and hurriedly hugged his mother's arm and begged: "Mom, you misunderstood! My sister picked up the vegetable leaves and mushrooms from the garbage dumped by others, and the chicken leg was unwanted by a child. I threw it away."

I gave it to the dog, but my sister beat the dog away and took it away!"

Huang Yue heard the truth of the matter and sat there blankly. The wooden stick slowly fell down, and her arms hung weakly on the ground. Then she sobbed softly.

Chu Tianying looked at her mother silently, a sense of sourness welled up in her heart, and tears flowed down unconsciously. At that moment, she swore in her heart that she must let her mother and sister live a wealthy life, and never let her mother and sister live a wealthy life again.

You don’t have to be looked down upon by others and live under someone else’s roof.

That night, Chu Tianying stayed up all night, and Huang Yue also stayed up all night. Listening to her mother's heart-stopping cough, Chu Tianying felt heartache, but she didn't know that from that day on, Huang Yue had begun to suffer from the disease.

After that, every late autumn, I would be sick for a month or so.
