Chapter 1 Wedge: The Demonic Path is Ruthless (Revised)

A damp smell brewed in the dim woodshed, drifting out from the cracks in the door panels that were sparsely nailed together, blowing on the thin back of Yi Sanmei, who was standing at the door of the woodshed on duty, causing a shiver.

Apart from the stench, there was also a thin and weak whimpering sound floating in the wind. It was the familiar voice of Yi Sanmei, her second brother Yi Laoer. I heard from my younger brothers and sisters that Yi Laoer entered the woodshed.

He also howled for a long time, and kept asking for food and drink. No one dared to go in to deliver food, and no one would leave food for Yi Laoer. Whether he was full or not was a problem.

Sanmei Yi felt a little cold, so she wrapped herself in the tattered clothes tightly. Under the shabby and short clothes, the brand of the Third Valley was faintly exposed. When it gets dark and Boss Yi goes to bed, she can go to sleep in the haystack.

.That was the warmest place in the yard, and it turned out that it was always occupied by Yi Laoer. She was a little happy.

The sky gradually darkened, and dark clouds hung in the yard. A rare oil lamp was lit in the kitchen built in a simple thatched shack. She heard someone sharpening a knife, click, click, click.

It must be Boss Yi. The only ones who can light the lamp at home are my father and Boss Yi. My father is not at home now and has gone to Yanzhen Pavilion to listen to the adults in the outer sect talking about tomorrow's harvest. Only Boss Yi is in the kitchen.

Yi Lao Er has long been dissatisfied with Yi Lao Er. Now Yi Lao Er is designated as the next father and is allowed to live at home beyond the age of fifteen. Yi Lao Er who is over the age is not allowed to live. I heard that Yi Lao Er is the adopted eldest son.

His legs were broken, and he also said that Yi Lao Er wanted to beat Yi Lao Er to death and become his father, but he was beaten by his father. No matter what, it was a dead end now.

The harvest is tomorrow, and the custom is to feed everyone the meat before getting on the boat to be energetic. If Yi Laoer hadn't sacrificed his life, Yi Sanmei might have died. She didn't want to die.

In the memory of Yi Sanmei, as long as one of the brothers and sisters is tied to the firewood shed, that person will never appear again. The next day, there will be oily meat on the table of the boss Yi. If they are lucky, sometimes they can get it from Yi.

The boss bit out a bit of marrow from the remaining bones, which was a joy that could be remembered for a long time. As for what kind of meat it was, Yi Sanmei didn't want to think about it.

Separated by a thin layer of wood, ten-year-old Yi Sanmei was counting the branches of a bamboo broom in her hands out of boredom, when she suddenly heard something dragging on the ground in the woodshed, moving toward the door.

The sound stopped suddenly. A clanking sound stopped Yi Laoer. It seemed that the iron chain that Yi Laoer tied to his feet was not long enough. But this position allowed Yi Sanmei to hear what Yi Laoer was saying.

It turned out that he hadn't given up yet and kept shouting "Water, water."

Yi Sanmei was too bored. Maybe it was because Yi Laoer was her brother after all, or for some reason, she put down the broom in her hand, turned around and lay on the door panel to look into the woodshed.

She couldn't see anything at first. It was too dark and there were no lights in the woodshed. Moreover, it was said to be a woodshed, but it leaked. There were no holes anywhere, but in winter, wind came in from all directions. Sanmei Yi endured the strong wind.

The stench and cold wind finally made my eyes adjust to the darkness, and I saw Yi Laoer lying on the ground.

As soon as she saw Yi Laoer, Yi Sanmei was startled. In her memory, Yi Laoer always had a big body, and he would grab meat very quickly. Even after he was full, he would still have meat on his body, so he was always looking at him with eager eyes.

He wants to seize the position of the boss. The person lying on the ground is so thin that he is out of shape, as if he is just a piece of firewood wrapped in a familiar skin, which makes people scared.

Yi Sanmei has never seen a person who is dying. Even if she knows that they are going to die, she only knows it vaguely. Now a familiar person in front of her is about to die, or is already dead. This is just a strange thing. Thinking of this

, she was so frightened that she whispered: "Second brother?"

The voice was very small, but Yi Laoer suddenly raised his head. Yi Sanmei saw that his eyes were hollow and his eyelids were drooped. It looked like his eyes had been gouged out by Yi Laoer. After the eyes were patched, Yi Laoer was probably not injured.

You have to eat, one for each of the mother and father.

Yi Sanmei was thinking wildly when she saw Yi Laoer stood up suddenly and tried to rush towards the door. His chained right leg suddenly broke and hit the ground with a loud sound, but Yi Laoer didn't notice it at all.

, jumped up in the air, and held the door panel tightly with both hands. Before Yi Sanmei could recover, an empty eye hole hit her eyes, scaring her so much that she took a step back.

"Sister, third sister, is it third sister?" Yi Laoer laughed nervously, sometimes with joy, sometimes with pleading, his voice hoarse, "Third sister, third sister, give me a sip of water, please give me a sip of water."

"

Yi Sanmei subconsciously glanced at the kitchen and shook her head. Thinking that Yi Laoer couldn't see her movements, she could only answer in a low voice: "No."

"Just a sip of water, Third Sister, I beg you, have you forgotten that you slept cold at night, and it was me who gave you my hay, so you didn't freeze to death?" He licked his lips, looking at the chapped wound.

There wasn't much blood seeping out to soothe her throat, "Do you remember Thirteenth Sister who died at that time? It's thanks to me that you didn't die! It's me! Third Sister, please give me some water to drink, please."

Of course Yi Sanmei remembered it, but it was different from Yi Laoer. She remembered that Thirteenth Sister had just learned to walk and was particularly clinging to her. She wanted Thirteenth Sister to survive, so she secretly put Thirteenth Sister into the haystack at night.

They slept in the back, where it was warm, and she leaned against the haystacks. But Yi Laoer refused to let them sleep.

There were so many haystacks piled under the shed that Yi Laoer couldn't sleep all the time no matter how much he stretched them out. It was snowing that winter, and Yi Sanmei was so cold that she knelt on the ground and begged him. Yi Laoer asked Yi Sanmei to take him out.

After finishing the work, the third sister Yi turned around and saw Yi Laoer holding the thirteenth sister in his hand and throwing her into the yard.

Click. The soil in the yard was very hard, but Thirteenth Sister was still very soft. She collapsed into a ball when she hit the ground. Seeing Yi Sanmei coming back, Yi Laoer waved impatiently, grabbed a handful of hay and stuffed it into Yi Sanmei.

In the empty and shabby clothes, he said "Go, go", like chasing a dog.

The Thirteenth Sister on the ground didn't know how to hold back the pain and cried loudly. She was so seriously injured that she would never be sent for treatment. The father cursed and came over to pick up the Thirteenth Sister and turned around and entered the kitchen.

.After a while, Yi Sanmei could no longer hear her crying.

She had hay that day and was not very cold, but she did not sleep well. From then on, she no longer liked her younger siblings because she would not sleep well and had no energy to work during the day.

Yi Sanmei's eyes focused on Yi Laoer's face again. This originally full-of-air face was very similar to her own. She fixed her eyes, turned around and ran towards the kitchen.

"Brother," Yi Sanmei didn't dare to step into the kitchen for fear of soiling the floor. She stood at the door and whispered, "Second brother is trying to run away! He broke his leg."

"What?!" Boss Yi rushed out of the door from Sanmei Yi with a polished knife. After a while, Sanmei Yi heard a strange thumping sound from behind. She didn't need to worry about it, she was going to go to bed tomorrow anyway.

We're on the boat, we're going to Zang Yaozong. I won't stand guard today. The boss can only scold me twice and hit me twice.

Yi Sanmei jumped up with a rare joyful step and ran back to the backyard. There was a large empty haystack in the backyard. She jumped on it and pulled some to cover her body, and her body gradually relaxed.

She had a dream, in which there was no one but herself. She could eat enough, eat meat, and sleep in tall and thick haystacks without anyone competing with her. The sun shone on her body, warm and bright.

With a smile on her lips, she ushered in the second day that changed her fate.

I came back from the back and changed the first chapter~ I always feel that the second chapter looks more like the beginning, so I just tried to change the first chapter into a wedge~ I don’t know if it can be connected to hh
