Qiu Tong tutted.
So they were afraid of ghosts?
“Hehe, Mommy turned into a ghost and came back to find you guys…”
“Let me see, who should I eat first?”
Qiu Tong made a ghastly expression, stretching out her tongue. Coupled with her pale face and wet hair, it was terrifying!
Qiu Xingqiao was so frightened that he hugged Qiu Xingyuan tightly. In his fear, he did not notice that his elder brother’s body had also stiffened slightly.
“Eldest Brother! She… she really turned into a ghost and came back to take revenge on us!”
Qiu Xingqiao covered his mouth as he whimpered softly.
A faint smile appeared on Qiu Tong’s face. This young future villain wasn’t that brave after all!
“Oh? So noisy. Did something happen?”
Qiu Xingyu rubbed her eyes and got up from the bed. When she saw Qiu Tong, she muttered in a daze, “Mommy? Haven’t you already gone on to a better life? Why… are you back?”
Qiu Tong looked at the two boys.
Damn! They really knew how to spin sweet stories! Better life?!
She was just about to clarify things with the little girl when she saw Qiu Xingyuan grab two bricks and threw them at her!
Was he serious?!
Murdering his own mother a second time?
Qiu Tong bent over and dodged a few rocks and coal flying towards her. Grabbing one child in each hand, she threw them back onto the bed!
“Go to sleep!”
Qiu Xingyuan narrowed his eyes and used his frail body to shield his brother and sister behind him, glaring at her warily!
The woman’s hands were warm. She probably wasn’t a ghost.
But why did she seem like a different person?
She didn’t beat them even though they had pushed her into the river?
With her current fighting abilities, it was enough to beat them half to death!
“Mommy seems to have become nicer?” Qiu Xingyu tugged at the corner of her brother’s shirt.
But Qiu Xingyuan just furrowed his brows in deep thought and said, “Who knows if she’s planning something else!”
Qiu Ton was exasperated.
Did she really need to hear their secret whisperings?
She changed out of her wet clothes and dried her hair. She looked around, studying the surroundings.
Their living environment was truly dilapidated. The straw shed was riddled with holes, looking as though it could be blown away by the wind anytime! The so-called kitchen area did not even have half a grain of rice!
These little fellows were indeed quite pitiful!
“Shh!”
Taking advantage of Qiu Tong still checking out the kitchen, Qiu Xingyuan had Qiu Xingyu on his back and his younger brother’s hand. He planned to climb over the wall and sneak out with them!
He didn’t believe that the Qiu Tong would truly change!
He had to take his younger siblings away!
Otherwise, they might be separated tomorrow. Sold to different places!
Qiu Tong noticed all his movements and was in no rush to grab them. It was only when Qiu Xingyuan was clinging clumsily onto the wall and was about to fall down and bash his head that she ran over!
“Be careful!”
Qiu Tong caught Qiu Xingyu firmly in her arms. She kicked away a few falling rocks and pulled the two brats back!
Boom!
With a loud bang, half the wall collapsed… leaving behind only debris and dust!
Qiu Xingqiao was so frightened that he hiccuped and whispered, “Elder Brother, Mommy… Mommy saved us.”
This was highly abnormal!
Qiu Xingyuan looked at Qiu Tong with a complicated expression. She actually didn’t leave them to their fate?
Once, Little Yu had been hit by a falling tile and Qiu Tong viciously scolded Little Yu that she deserved it and wished that they would all die sooner.
Had she really changed for the better?
The next second, Qiu Tong threw them onto the bed again and threatened them with a smile.
“If you try to run away again, I will throw you all into the river to feed the fishes.”
Qiu Xingyuan: “…”
He knew that she was still as evil as ever!
Qiu Tong found two tattered blankets and covered them, before she also laid down beside them.
After fighting for so long in the post-apocalyptic era, she was exhausted. She planned to rest for a night before leaving.
Qiu Xingyu blinked and tugged at the corner of her shirt nervously.
Qiu Tong felt sorry for her and tried her best to be gentle. “Can’t sleep? Do you need Mommy to sing you a lullaby?”
Qiu Xingyu looked at her lovingly and nodded.
Qiu Tong shifted through her memory before starting to sing, “Long tongue, bloodstained hands, fresh zombies surrounding us, watch me shoot its head off…”
The children: “!!!”
Qiu Tong felt that something was wrong. “Don’t you think it’s a nice song?”
This was the most popular nursery rhyme in the post-apocalyptic world.
“Nice…”
Qiu Xingyu was trembling as she held onto her two brothers. She was so stiff that she did not move at all. “Mommy, we’re sleepy. Please stop singing…”
Qiu Tong nodded in satisfaction and closed her eyes.
She knew that lullabies were useful!
