"You two! Come down to eat~"

Mom, come quickly!"

Jaquin heard Mary's shouts and immediately ran to the staircase, looking at Mary anxiously.

"What's wrong?"

"My sister is sick!"

“...... Huh? Wasn't it okay just now? Mary ran up in a hurry, but suddenly glared at Jaquin halfway through.

"Jain, didn't lie to your mother? It can't be that Yasiqi doesn't want to study tomorrow, so let you lie to your mother!

Jaquin shivered.

From his mother's gentle ruler, he has received more than once.

But now, I can only bite the bullet and say: "No, my sister's forehead is really hot." Hearing

this, Mary came to Yasiqi's room with a half-hearted heart.

When I opened the door, I saw that on the small bed, Yasiqi was wrapped in a thick quilt, with a thermometer in her mouth, and her little face was flushed.

Mary immediately ran up and pulled out the thermometer from Yasiqi's mouth.

Thirty-eight degrees!

A little flustered, she reached up and touched Yasiqi's forehead again.

Boiling hot!

Mary looked at Yasiqi's flushed face and asked uneasily, "What's going on!" Just fine!

"Mom, I'm so uncomfortable... Ahem. Jaquin

looked stunned in the back, pretending to be really like it!

Mary touched Yasiqi's head, and then said: "You wait a minute, mother go get the medicine."

Saying that, Mary actually seemed to put on roller skates, slid directly on the floor, and in only a few seconds, she came to the first floor.

Yasiqi and Jaquin looked at each other.

Hands up.

High five.

Coherent.

"Yay! It worked!

"But mom is so good, it's like skating on ice."

"After all, my mother is a slippery person."

"Hurry up and top the water glass again, otherwise it won't be hot for a while."

......

"Nope!"

"Nope!"

Mary was a little panicked, and there was no medicine at home.

A child's fever to 38 degrees must not be a small problem, especially in this world of underdeveloped medicine, even if it is just a cold, if it is not treated correctly, there is a risk of death.

Mary immediately went back upstairs.

After hearing the voice, the two children immediately took off the quilt on their foreheads.

Mary walked up to Yasiqi and reached out again to touch her forehead.

It's even hotter.

Did the condition really worsen ....

"Mom, I'm so uncomfortable, can I not study tomorrow?"

"Well, yes."

Mary smiled and touched Yasiqi's head, "Can you wait for me at home obediently?" Mom went to Dr. Clay to buy some medicine.

Yasiqi was stunned for a moment, and immediately hugged Mary's arm and said: "Mom, don't go, it's raining outside, I'm afraid."

"Well, let my brother accompany you."

Watching Mary leave, both Yasiqi and Jaquin were a little panicked.

It was night, it was still raining heavily, and they had deceived Mary, who was still going out to buy medicine in the rain because of a lie.

A sense of guilt rose from the bottom of my heart.

"Jacquin, what to do?"

"Sister... We should be in trouble.

"If you are discovered, you will definitely be beaten."

"It's all my sister's fault, it has nothing to do with me."

“...... Hum! Yasiqi

also regretted lying a little, but this time, no matter how bitter the medicine is, you have to bite your teeth and eat it, if you show the stuffing, it will definitely be a meal of "maternal love".

Heavy rain on the islands, usually accompanied by high winds.

Mary wore a yellow raincoat and struggled through the wind, but she didn't get a drop of water on her.

After all, it is the ability to slip the fruit, even if the rain will pour into the clothes, but it will not stay on the skin.

After walking in the dark for half an hour, she saw a lighted hut, and Mary couldn't help but curse twice.

"This stupid Clay, why do you live in such a remote place, you deserve to marry a wife!"

Mary knocked on the door.

As a result, there was no movement inside.

Pushing the door open, Mary saw Clay lying drunk on the sofa, snoring loudly.

"Hey! Feed! Wake up! "

“...... Well.

Clay barely opened his eyes, and in vagueness, he found that there was a blonde beauty dangling in front of him.

A little delirious he immediately stretched out his arm.

"Wife..."

Mary slapped Clay in the face and roared a little angrily: "Wake up! You are single!

"Who! Who hit me!

Clay was directly awakened by this slap, and after discovering that it was Mary, she immediately asked with interest: "It's raining so much, why are you here?"

"Yasiqi has a fever and there is no medicine at home."

Clay's drunkenness was dispersed by this slap, and when he heard that Yasiqi was sick, he asked worriedly: "What's going on?"

"The fever was thirty-eight degrees, and I touched her head when I came, it was hotter than when I took her temperature."

"It's so serious, I'll go back with you and take a look."

"No need, you give me some fever-reducing medicine, and I'll bring her over tomorrow when the rain stops."

“...... All right.

As if noticing the firmness in her eyes, Clay could only compromise.

Clay prescribed the medicine, then carefully wrote the dosage on it and put it in a waterproof cowhide bag to bread.

"You take it, tomorrow morning, I will go to your house for a visit."

"Okay, that's troublesome."

......

At this time, Yasiqi and Jaquin were lying on the window, watching the fierce wind outside and the heavy rain.

Yasiqi said with some worry: "My mother has been out for half an hour, why haven't she come back."

Jacquin was a little sleepy, he was lying on the bed, his eyes were almost open, so he said with some dissatisfaction: "It will take at least half an hour to walk from here to Uncle Clay's house." I blame my sister for my bad idea, and I can't eat! Yasiqi

also touched her stomach and lay weakly on the bed.

Although hungry, there is no way.

They had to wait for Mary to come back and eat together.

That's always been the case.

His father, Simbardi, was the mayor of the town, and in order to bring trade to the village, he had to go out to contact merchant ships every month, and he went to sea once for half a month.

So it's gathering less and separating more.

Sitting at the dining table for a family of four to eat together is a very happy thing in Yasiqi's eyes.

Although usually it is three people.

But no less, be sure to wait for mom to come back for dinner.

The cream soup made by my mother has the best taste in the world!

When her mother comes back, Yasiqi will tell her mother the truth, even if she is beaten...

Thinking so, Yasiqi actually fell asleep on the bed.

......

Early morning the next day.

Whoops!

A sound of slamming the door sounded.

"Hey!"

"Yasiqi! Jaquin!

"Hurry up and open the door!"

Yasiqi rubbed her eyes a little confused, although she didn't know what was going on.

But she walked to her mother's room anyway.

“...... Mom! There is a knock on the door! "

A room that no one lives in just makes people feel deserted.

A wisp of cold wind blew across his cheek.

When Yasiqi saw the empty bed, her eyes immediately widened in fright.

"Mom?"

Yasiqi ran downstairs frantically.

"Sister, little bird..."

Jaquin was also woken up, but he was holding the bird from yesterday in his hand, although the baby bird was wrapped in a towel, but because it was too small and soaked by the rain, it did not last the night.

However, Yasiqi did not hear her brother's voice.

No!

No!

No bedrooms, no bathrooms, no kitchens.

There is no mother anywhere.

The sound of slamming on the door continued, and the men outside the door kept calling their names.

Only then did Yasiqi react from the shock, and then pulled the door open.

"Uncle Clay!"

And at this time, Jaquin, who put the bird back in place, also ran downstairs, "Sister? What happened?

Clay looked at the two children, first reached out and touched Yasiqi's forehead, and asked with some surprise: "Are you well?" "

This... Actually, I wasn't sick, I just didn't want to study, so I lied that I was sick. Seeing

that the lie was broken, Yasiqi immediately said a little embarrassed.

"Not sick?"

"Lying?"

Yasiqi looked at the gloomy face of Dr. Clay, and took a step back with some fear, "Uncle Clay, what's wrong?" "

Snap!"

A slap on Yasiqi's face.

Suddenly, his petite body fell to the ground.

Jaquin didn't know why, but when he saw his sister being beaten, he immediately rushed up like a puppy.

He hugged Clay's thigh directly, kicking and punching again, and biting with his teeth again.

"Let you hit your sister! Let you hit your sister!

Clay didn't say a word, just looked at Yasiqi like that, and suddenly tears welled up like a collapsed.

"Uncle Clay... What about mom?

"Your mother... He's dead.

Yasiqi listened to Clay's cry of pain, although her brain had not yet reacted to what was happening.

But the tears have already flowed first.

"Huh? What do you say..."

Yasiqi turned her head to look at the tableware on the table, the pot of thick soup on the table.

A table.

Three cutlery.

Four chairs.

Yasiqi only felt that her legs were weak, and she knelt directly at the door, she grabbed Clay's pant legs and shouted madly: "What nonsense are you talking about!" You're lying, aren't you! Uncle Clay! You're lying, aren't you! What about Mom! I'm going to find Mom! "

“...... Aaaaaah! You're telling you you're lying!

Clay took Yasiqi and Jaquin in her arms, and their shoulders were soaked with each other's tears.

"Mary... Last night, he encountered a mudslide and died.

Yasiqi's

eyes no longer had brilliance, and she only knew to cry with all her strength.

Why?

Is it because you lied?

Is it because she lied that her mother left her?

Woo hoo....

No, Mom, I'm not lying anymore, please come back!

In this way, the crying of the two children continued for a long time.

Clay took them to the site where the mudslide had occurred, by which time Mary's body had been dug up, and she was still clutching a cowhide bag in her hand.

I heard that when Mary was found, the cowhide bag was in her arms, and there was not a single bit of damage.

But no matter what others say about Mary.

Yasiqi's eyes did not have any fluctuations.

Because Simbardi is not on the island.

There is no one in Yasiqi's family who can call the shots.

But according to island custom, the deceased must be buried within a day before the soul can ascend to heaven.

Clay then took the initiative and helped bury Mary on a beautiful hill.

And Yasiqi and Jaquin just followed silently.

Like two puppets.

When everything was over, Yasiqi still felt that everything was fake.

Mary would also cook in the kitchen as usual, and the scent would fill the house.

"Sister?"

Hear Jaquin's call.

On the way home, Yasiqi cried, and her tears broke down again.

Unable to do anything to walk like this, I don't dare to ask for anything anymore.

"What else can I say, what else can I do? I wish you would hear it, because of my lies, let you leave, and if I apologize now, is it too late..."

You come back. "

I promise never to lie again... Woo hoo. "

The low wind carried away the whimpering sounds, but it reached no man's land.
