"Brother, third brother and I set the fire, and third brother took me there."

"The third brother lied. We didn't meet Grandma Luo, nor did we invite Grandma Luo. The third brother said that Aunt Chen bullied my sister and wanted to teach her a lesson to vent her anger on her behalf."

The two of them ran out before and called Aunt Chen's six-year-old eldest daughter, five-year-old Erya and three-year-old little Huzi. They lied to them that they were going out to play and took the three of them far away in the woods to hide and seek.

Daya and the other three hid, and Mingze pulled Mingtao and ran back.

They had steamed the egg custard just now, and while Minghai was feeding Mingying, the two of them took the burning firewood and quietly walked around to Aunt Chen's house from behind.

As Mingze expected, Aunt Chen found that her three children were missing and frantically searched for them everywhere. Mingze threw firewood on the roof while there was no one at home.

They are all thatched huts, and they can be found at any time.

Then he was discovered quickly.

Ming Tao said everything, which made Mingze so angry that he kicked Ming Tao angrily, "Didn't you promise not to tell big brother?"

"I promised you, but it's too uncomfortable to be hungry." Ming Tao said honestly.

Mingze said angrily: "Humph, I said before that I would give you half of the dinner, but now I won't give it to you."

Mingze encouraged Mingtao to cause trouble together, and he used this condition to lure Mingtao into cooperating.

Ming Tao curled his lips, "Big brother even punished you by depriving you of dinner. You didn't give me any points in the first place!"

"Since you didn't give me any points, it means that if you say something first, it won't be a mistake. If I tell my brother, it won't be wrong."

Mingze: ....Whoever says that his second brother is stupid and he is in a hurry, look at it, he is smarter than anyone else when it comes to food!

Mingze was so angry that he kicked Mingtao again.

Ming Tao felt that he was right and refused to be bullied by his younger brother, so he kicked him back.

The two brothers started fighting in front of Minghai.

The two have been fighting since childhood, and Minghai has long been used to it, but now is not the time for them to fight, "Stop!"

The two brothers immediately stopped and bowed their heads to listen to the instruction.

Ming Hai said: "My parents said that the swords in our hands should not be pointed at our own people, but only at the enemies on the battlefield!"

Ming Tao immediately defended: "Brother, we didn't bring any knives!"

Mingze said: "Aunt Chen bullies my sister, she is our enemy!"

Ming Tao said: "Third brother is right."

Minghai glared at his two younger brothers fiercely.

Mingze was most afraid that Minghai would talk nonsense to them. He rolled his eyes and shouted, "Brother, my sister's meat porridge is going to be burnt!"

Minghai didn't bother to teach the two of them a lesson and hurriedly ran to the stove. There was meat porridge on the stove hole, and brown rice and wild vegetable porridge in the pot.

Minghai stirred twice and found that nothing was mushy. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the unconvinced looks of the two of them. He put on the majesty of his elder brother and said, "No one is allowed to eat tonight!"

Ming Tao wailed: "Brother!"

Mingze was gloating on the sidelines, since he didn't get to eat in the first place.

After the meat porridge was cooked, Minghai filled half a bowl and fed it to Mingying. The twins Mingtao and Mingze were punished to stand in the corner.

The two of them swallowed hard as they smelled the aroma of meat.

Especially Ming Tao, he loves nothing but food. Now he can only watch, not to mention how uncomfortable he is.

After Mingying finished eating, Minghai ate half a bowl of wild vegetable brown rice porridge.

"I'll go next door to say thank you to Aunt Luo. You guys should take good care of my sister."

Mingze said: "Brother, why do you want to say thank you? You originally asked Aunt Luo to look after your sister. If Aunt Luo hadn't suddenly returned to her home, Aunt Chen would not have come in to steal the rice, and my sister would not have been hurt."

Ming Tao followed: "That's right."

Ming Hai said: "It's a favor for Aunt Luo to help look after my sister, but it's her duty not to. Aunt Luo also has children at home, so it's only natural for people to go back if something urgent happens."

"It's Aunt Chen's fault that my sister was injured. You can't blame Aunt Luo."

Mingze stopped speaking, which was regarded as acquiescence.

When Minghai went out, Minghai's voice called to the door of Aunt Luo's house next door, "Aunt Luo, I am Minghai." Mingze rushed to the kitchen with a swish.

Ming Tao was stunned for a moment, then ran after Mingze and shouted loudly: "Third brother, what are you doing in the kitchen?"

"Shh, keep your voice down! Let's eat quickly before big brother comes back."

Ming Tao touched his head and said naively: "But the eldest brother said we won't be allowed to eat."

"You're so stupid!" Mingze opened the lid of the pot, scolded and filled the porridge, "Didn't you hear the eldest brother say, this matter is Aunt Chen's fault, since Aunt Chen is at fault, we are right, the eldest brother is thinking

Agreed."

Ming Tao was still confused, "Since eldest brother thinks we are right, why do you still want to teach us a lesson?"

"My parents said before that when there is a problem, one will be the one to blame and the other will be the villain. Do you understand?"

Mingze pushed the porridge in front of Mingtao, "Would you like to eat it? If not, I'll eat it!"

Ming Tao immediately covered the bowl and said, "Eat!"

The two brothers devoured it.

When Mingying heard what the two said, she weakly shouted, "Second brother, third brother."

Mingtao Mingze quickly ran over with a bowl in hand, "Sister, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Mingying said softly: "Second brother and third brother, please eat the remaining egg custard and meat porridge."

While Ming Tao was thinking about the egg custard and meat porridge, he said cheerfully: "That's for my sister's health. My third brother and I are in good health."

Mingze took a sip of the porridge and said, "This tastes delicious, but you are too weak to eat it now. You can eat it when you get better."

Ming Tao nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, it's delicious."

The two of them coaxed Mingying like children.

Mingying looked at the porridge in the two bowls. Most of it was water, with wild vegetables floating on it. Even if you scooped it out with a spoon, you couldn't even get a few grains of rice.

Thinking about the egg custard, thick meat porridge she ate, and the two brothers who set fire to avenge her, her heart felt as uncomfortable as being stuffed with wet cotton.

She accepted the memory of the original owner and knew that Minghai and others were very kind to the original owner, but after all, what happened to the original owner in the past happened to her, and she could not empathize with him.

But now, she feels it personally.

"Sister, we washed the dishes and came to accompany you, don't be afraid!"

It was almost dark at this time, and lighting an oil lamp was too luxurious, and the Ming family could not afford it now.

The two of them finished the porridge quickly, ran to the kitchen to wash the pots and dishes, and then carefully climbed onto Mingying's bed, lying on the left and right next to her.

Mingying's mother used to sleep in this bed with her, the three Minghai brothers slept in another bed with their father, and the grandmother slept in the small room where firewood is now kept.

When her parents went to war, her grandmother slept with Mingying.

Now that her parents and grandmother are dead, the three brothers sleep with Mingying to protect her.

Hearing the sound of Minghai pushing the door open, Mingtao Mingze quickly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Minghai went to the kitchen in the dark, saw the clean pot, raised the corner of his mouth and quickly put it down.

The earthenware pot for cooking meat porridge on the stove hole has been taken away and replaced with another earthenware pot filled with water.

Minghai poured the water into the wooden basin and washed his face, hands and feet.

For the poor, taking a hot bath every day in winter is a luxury. Minghai loves to be clean, so he uses the residual heat from the stove to warm the water to wash his hands and feet.

After pouring out the water and putting the tub back in its place, Ming Hai came to the house, stood by the bed and touched the quilts of Ming Ying and others. After folding them for them, he slept on the outside of the bed.

Mingying and Mingze share a quilt, and Minghai and Mingtao share a quilt. Because Mingtao likes to grab the quilt when sleeping, he was given to Minghai.

It was completely dark outside, because the weather was bad, there were no stars or moon, it was pitch black, only the cold wind blew the branches.

Soon, three long breathing sounds sounded in the room.

Mingying quietly opened her eyes, and her previously timid and dull eyes were glowing in the dark night.

She quickly adapted to the darkness and turned to look at the three brothers who were protecting her in the middle. The three brothers had immature eyebrows and their mouths were open when sleeping, chirping from time to time.

Minghai, who had always looked like a young adult, now showed an expression befitting his age.

They are all still children.

What if we were in modern times and still acted like a spoiled child in the arms of our parents?

The eyes of Mingying, the always cold-blooded and ruthless killer, unconsciously became gentle.

Since you protect me like this, then I will protect you too.

Taking advantage of the dark and windy night, Mingying tried to summon the system in her mind.
