However, just as the stone was about to land on his mother's head, the middle-aged man suddenly stopped. For some unknown reason, he threw the stone away again, bent down, picked up his mother, and strode into the night.
Seeing his mother leave, Ren Shujie fell into deep despair. For many years after that, Ren Shujie could never forget what kind of mental torment he had endured at the age of seven that night.
Ren Shujie, whose ribs were broken, lay alone in the grass, unable to move. Not far away, two corpses with their heads smashed were emitting waves of blood. A gust of wind blew over, and the smell of blood began to disperse. A moment later, wolf howls came from afar. The wolf howls gradually approached, and Ren Shujie could already see their green eyes in the night sky. The wolf pack surrounded the two corpses warily, then swarmed forward and began to bite.
Under the sharp fangs of the wolf pack, the two corpses quickly turned into incomplete white bones. Ren Shujie looked at this bloody scene and was so frightened that he did not dare to breathe too loudly. Don't eat me, don't eat me. Ren Shujie closed his eyes and prayed silently in his heart. Because of fear, his back was instantly drenched in cold sweat.
Perhaps the wolves had eaten their fill, or perhaps the heavens had taken pity on him. When he opened his eyes again, the wolves had already disappeared. As he was afraid of encountering danger again, Ren Shujie suppressed his sleepiness and widened his sore eyes. As time passed, the place where heaven and earth met began to show light. Ren Shujie, who was parched and unusually hungry, was like a salted fish, enduring the scorching sun. The two corpses that only had white bones left began to rot and emit a foul smell. Ren Shujie licked his dry lips, his consciousness starting to blur.
A second before he lost consciousness, he suddenly saw his mother smiling and extending her arm to him. Am I going to die? Mom, I'm here to accompany you! Ren Shujie slowly closed his eyes.
Of course, Ren Shujie did not die. When he felt a chill down his throat, he opened his eyes again. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was his mother, who was crying tears of joy. His mother put down the glass of water and held Ren Shujie tightly in her arms while sobbing. Seeing his mother cry, Ren Shujie also started crying.
"Mom, mom, you're not dead. That's great!”
"Silly son, Mommy is fine. Mommy is fine!"
The mother and son cried for a long time before they finally calmed down.
"Mom, I'm hungry!" Ren Shujie, who had not eaten for most of the day, had his stomach growling. Her mother wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and instructed Ren Shujie not to move around before walking out.
Ren Shujie started to look around. He was now in a rather dilapidated wooden house. Ren Shujie wanted to get up and walk around. The sharp pain in his chest reminded him of everything he had experienced last night. Ren Shujie lowered his head to take a look and realized that his wound had already been treated. The broken ribs on his chest seemed to have been reconnected.
A moment later, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door. Ren Shujie thought that his mother had arrived. Just as he was about to smile and greet his mother with his gaze, the door opened. An honest middle-aged man's face, which he would never forget, appeared at the door.
Fear took over Ren Shujie's heart, and he could not help but let out a scream. What happened last night was like a movie, jumping into his mind. Ren Shujie clearly remembered that the face belonged to the middle-aged drunkard who had cruelly smashed his two companions to death with a rock! Why was this murderer here? Is he here to kill me? Where's Mom? Did he kill his mother again? Countless doubts made Ren Shujie's brain almost collapse.
At this moment, her mother's figure appeared behind the middle-aged uncle. She hurriedly put down the bowl of porridge in her hands and ran to Ren Shujie's side nervously. She touched Ren Shujie's face and asked anxiously,""Jie, what's wrong?"
Ren Shujie wanted to tell his mother the true colors of this honest looking middle-aged man. However, as he watched the middle-aged man slowly retreat to the door and close it, he began to reveal his killing intent. Ren Shujie could not bring himself to say the words that were on his lips. Seeing Ren Shujie like this, her mother became even more anxious.
At this moment, the middle-aged man quickly walked to his mother's side with a concerned expression and comforted her,"Don't be anxious. The child is just scared. Anyone who has experienced being robbed by bad people last night and being bitten by wolves will be scared. He just needed to rest. Don't worry too much." As the middle-aged man spoke, he gently placed his hands on his mother's shoulders.
The middle-aged uncle's eyes flashed with a cold light, making Ren Shujie realize the danger. Ren Shujie cleverly touched his chest and told his mother that he was fine. It was just that he used too much strength when he got up. Hearing Ren Shujie say this, her mother's expression finally calmed down. The middle-aged man's smile also relaxed.
After taking care of Ren Shujie and swallowing a large bowl of porridge, his mother instructed Ren Shujie to " have a good rest " before following the middle-aged uncle out of the house.
In the next few days, Ren Shujie spent every day in fear. He no longer dared to tell his mother the truth. He was afraid that the middle-aged uncle would go berserk and hurt him and his mother. He begged his mother to take him away many times, but his mother always smiled and advised him,"You're injured now, so you can't exercise vigorously. This uncle is a good man. Not only is he willing to take us in, but he also provides us with food. So you can stay here peacefully. We will set off again when Ni recovers.”
Of course, Ren Shujie wasn't willing. But when he thought of that night, the middle-aged man's cruel and evil smile, Ren Shujie fell silent. Later on, Ren Shujie found out from his mother what happened after his mother was taken away that night. That night, when her mother woke up from her coma and saw her disheveled appearance, she realized what had happened. Just as the ashamed mother wanted to die, a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance rushed in from outside. The middle-aged uncle told his mother that he had seen two criminals assaulting his mother when he came back from outside. In a moment of desperation, he had killed the two men and saved her.
Thinking of the two steamed buns that the middle-aged man had kindly handed to her during the day, her mother gradually believed him. After calming down, the mother suddenly thought of her child.
When he heard his mother asking about Ren Shujie's whereabouts, a sly look flashed across the middle-aged man's face. The middle-aged man pretended to be surprised and asked,"What is it? You have a child? I don't know. I only saw you!”
Her mother, who had just calmed down, instantly went crazy again. She struggled out of the bed and rushed out without caring about her shoes or tidying up her almost naked clothes.
