After school, Qiu Shi carried the cooked fodder to the pigsty.
"Bang!" A sound rang out.
Perhaps the bucket was too heavy, or perhaps Qiu Shi was too short. The wooden barrel hit the threshold and fell apart. Grass soup was scattered all over the ground.
"MGB, what can you do!”As soon as the sound fell, curses immediately sounded.
Xiang kicked away the remains of the wooden barrel scattered on the ground, turned around, and grabbed a whip made of a rice grinder belt. That was the new "family law" he had just found, and he fiercely hit Qiu Shi.
Xiang grabbed a hoe and threw it at Qiu Shi. Qiu Shi saw the momentum and ducked to avoid it.
Unexpectedly, Qiu Shi's grandfather heard the commotion outside and walked out while holding onto the wall. The hoe hit his heart at random.
"Aiyo!" Grandfather fell to the ground.
"You old fart, aren't you going to die? Why are you running around?!”As Xiang spoke, he was about to rush forward with a ferocious appearance.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, don't hit my Grandpa! Qiu Shi was terrified. She dragged her injured body and crawled towards her grandfather. Unfortunately, her strength was too limited and she was small. Although Grandpa was old, he was still about 175 centimeters tall. How could she help him up?
Grandpa had wanted to persuade Xiang, but before he could say anything, he was hit hard.
This violent fall made him unable to get up again.
Qiu Shi knelt on the ground and begged,""Don't touch Grandpa! I beg you…" She blamed herself in her heart. If only she hadn't dodged that attack! How could he let his seriously ill grandfather endure such a strength attack!
"I have to beat him up. If I beat him to death, I still have to buy him a coffin.”As he spoke, anger instantly filled his face, but it disappeared as he exerted force. A loud slap landed heavily on Qiu Shi's face, followed by a kick on her back.
This kick sent the child flying a few meters away.
She wanted to get up, but she had no strength to struggle.
At this moment, Silver ran over and used his small body to block Qiu Shi's way, barking at the inhumane perpetrator.
Qiu Shi, who was being protected by Silver, felt a hot and sour feeling in her heart. It was a reflection of shock and worry. She called out to the puppy in a weak voice,""Silver ~"
It had obviously heard its little master's call. It wagged its tail in response, but it kept shouting at Qiu Shi's father. He would occasionally turn back to look at Qiu Shi.
Perhaps it was because he was shocked by the scene before him, Xiang did not abuse Qiu Shi and his grandfather anymore. He stepped into the house.
Qiu Shi got up and ran to her grandfather's side despite the pain. She used all her strength to help her grandfather back to the bedroom. Just as she was about to comfort her grandfather, she heard a shrill scream coming from outside.
It was Silver's sorrowful cry.
"Silver!" Qiu Shi was so scared that her entire body went weak. She suddenly felt her head light and her legs heavy. She ran out, her palms numb and her legs weak. He thought to himself, Did Silver get beaten up while protecting me?
When she stepped out of the room, the cruel and terrifying scene was unbelievable.
Qiu Shi saw her favorite Silver being pierced through the chin by an iron hook and hanging high up on the rope tied to the beam. The first two legs had been chopped off by his father and thrown on the ground beside his feet. He was chopping off the remaining two feet. He said fiercely,"Bite, you're not biting anymore?" You're very smug!"
Silver's body was still shaking as the knife moved up and down. He could barely make any louder sounds, and could only cry out in pain. Seeing her beloved and most important friend become like this for her, and she was unable to help it, Qiu Shi could only cry. Her voice trembled as she squeezed out a call from her nose and mouth,"" Silver…Silver…Silver, Silver…Ah…Silver…"
"Didn't you say that there's an immortal? Please save it quickly! Save my silver! I beg you! Please don't kill it, please don't kill it, please kill me, I beg you, use my life to exchange for its life, daddy, I won't hide anymore, just hit me…"
At that moment, she had hoped so, so that someone could take Silver away, whether it was a god or a devil. As long as they could take him away from this terrifying home, she would regret raising Silver. She had never felt so regretful before. She knelt on the ground in pain and begged hysterically." Just kill me, I can die for it. I won't hide anymore, just hit me. Please, don't kill Silver…I beg you…"
She clearly knew that even if her father stopped now, Silver would not be able to live. But what else could she do?？Could he tell her why she had to endure such pain?
No one could believe what was happening before their eyes, let alone stop what was happening.
Qiu Shi could only kneel on the ground and watch as Silver's blood seeped out from his broken leg and dripped in front of her eyes before being sucked into the soil. Helplessly and sorrowfully, he listened to its occasional low wail. The sounds grew weaker and weaker until Silver finally lost his voice and spasms.
From the first time she saw it when it was young, she had decided to protect it, but she was protected by it. It had even lost its life for this. Qiu Shi felt that she was useless. She was really the most redundant person in the world. She could only kneel on the ground and watch as Silver's body was taken down, skinned, and then his internal organs were pulled out bit by bit…
Silver had left her just like that. He would never go to school with her or go home with her. She recalled the winter night when she was chased out by her father and had no place to sleep. She could only curl up in the pile of straw under the eaves with Yin Zai. She recalled the summer night when Yin Zai had bitten off the rope that bound her and the two small bodies had warmed each other again. Qiu Shi's heart was crying and wailing. At this moment, no one could express her heartache and sorrow with words.
She did not cry anymore. She just sat there foolishly at the scene of Silver's murder. An eight-and-a-half-year-old child suddenly understood. People who were truly heartbroken were silent.
In the end, Silver was served as dinner by Xiang. Qiu Shi looked at the puppy that was originally alive and turned into a lump of black meat. She could not help but feel disgusted and did not eat for the entire night.
After Little Brother Xiang He finished eating Silver's corpse, Qiu Shi Sese picked up Silver's remains and wrapped them in rags. She sneaked out at night and buried her friend's bones in the bamboo forest in the backyard. She used a few stones to build a grave, put her fingers in her mouth and dabbed her saliva. She imitated the protagonist in a story and wrote on a large stone: The loyal dog is the tomb of the silver boy.
The moon in the sky was still so round. Did Chang'e and Jade Rabbit live inside? If the jade rabbit died one day, would Chang'e be sad?
That night, Qiu Shi could not sleep with tears in her eyes.
