Guo Wei whispered in her ear,

"Jing'er, more than a dozen people, each of them slaps the child, can this child bear it?"

Leng Rujing suddenly turned around and stared at him.

"He couldn't bear it? What about my child? Could he bear it when my child was thrown into a dry well and burned to death?"

"But……"

"Are you feeling sorry for him?"

Leng Rujing gritted her teeth and looked at Guo Wei.

"If you hadn't been a coward, would my child and I have been sent to Northern Chu? How could my son have died a violent death? What right do you have to stop me from doing what I want to do now?"

Guo Wei frowned and nodded helplessly.

"Jing'er, I am sorry for you, just do whatever you want!"

Leaving this sentence, he sighed, turned and left.

Leng Rujing came to the children again, pointed at Si Jin, and shouted angrily,

"See? He's just a rake. Each of you hit him twice. Whoever hits harder will be given a pill."

Hearing this, the kids rushed to Sijin like crazy and started punching and kicking him.

Si Jin wanted to fight back, but he didn't dare to. He was afraid that if he fought back, he would suffer even greater torture.

He bit his lips hard, clenched his fists tightly, and tried his best not to fall down, but his legs had already begun to tremble.

After each of the children punched him twice, he finally couldn't hold on any longer. His legs were as soft as cotton and he fell to the ground.

"Hahaha……"

Leng Rujing walked slowly to his side, looked at Si Jin who was lying there with narrowed eyes and covered in wounds, raised the corner of her mouth, and snorted complacently.

"Leng Jinyan, does it hurt?"

Sijin squinted at her, then closed his eyes weakly.

"Bring some water and pour it on me to wake me up."

She just wanted to torture him, because just now when she was taking a nap, she dreamed again of the scene where Luo Nianxi threw her son into a dry well. Her emotions collapsed again. If she didn't torture Luo Nianxi's child, she would go crazy.

"Wow..."

A basin of cold water was poured on Sijin's head. He closed his eyes tightly and then slowly opened them.

Leng Rujing raised her chin slightly and looked at him.

"Remember, you are suffering this pain today because of your mother Luo Nianxi. She has wronged my son, so I will torture her son."

Si Jin no longer wanted to talk to this crazy woman. No matter what he said, he could not please her or stop her from torturing him.

Now he was just looking forward to the night, and hoping that everyone would go to bed so that he could leave here as soon as possible.

He had already made up his mind that even if he fell off a cliff, was eaten by wild beasts, or died on the way to escape, he would rather not suffer this torture here.

Whenever he thought about leaving here soon, he would silently tell himself to hold on. As long as he still had a breath left, just hold on...

Night fell quickly, and the Valley of Death looked particularly eerie and terrifying at this moment.

In order not to attract other people's attention, Sijin, like the other children, lay quietly on the bed, slightly closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep.

Two groups of people came to check on the ward, and they left yawning only after they made sure all the children were asleep.

Sijin's brows frowned slightly, and he secretly decided in his heart that he must leave here tonight no matter what.

He knew that if he was lost, his mother would be worried crazy, and he would go crazy too if he couldn't see his mother.

At this moment, his whole body and even his bones ached, but he didn't dare to cry. If he cried, he would face even more cruel torture.

His tears silently slid down the corners of his eyes and wet the pillow.

He called out in his heart,

"Mom, brother, sister, are you all okay? I miss you..."

When he thought of his family, he held the corners of the quilt tightly with both hands and bit the quilt tightly with his teeth, trying to control his crying so that no one would notice.

In the past half month, he would cry secretly every night...

Finally, it was midnight. He quietly sat up, listened to the snoring of the children around him, slowly crawled to the ground, and quietly walked out the door.

After observing for the past few days, we learned that the people on duty outside at 11 p.m. would go to sleep. They probably thought that since this place is surrounded by mountains, these children would not dare to go out during the day, let alone at night, so their vigilance would be reduced at this time.

No one noticed Sijin until he walked out of the house. He walked out of here easily and ran quickly towards the back mountain.

But he had no idea how to get down the mountain. He could only rely on his senses, walking through the overgrown forest with one foot deep and one foot shallow...

He didn't know how long he walked, but he felt too tired. He forced himself to stop, leaned his hand against a big tree, and thought about stopping to catch his breath.

But he suddenly found that he was very familiar with this big tree, as if he had encountered it before.

He looked up in horror, only to find that after running for so long, he was back to the starting point.

Upon learning this, he fell to the ground weakly, raised his arms, and began to wipe his tears.

"Wow……"

Suddenly, a howl of a wild beast came from somewhere. He was so scared that he shivered and curled up into a ball. He looked to the left and it was dark, and looked back and it was still dark.

His tears kept falling down his cheeks. He raised his hand to wipe away his tears while muttering,

"Mom, I'm so scared. It's so dark here. Mom, I miss you."

"Mom, they all bullied me. If I can't go back alive this time, it will be a relief. Don't be sad."

"Mom, I miss you. I also miss my brother and sister. I miss you guys so much...mmmm..."

He was just a six-year-old child. He had never left home since he was a child. He grew up in a happy nest and had never experienced such pain.

He was able to get through it because of what his mother taught him since he was a child. His mother told him that a man should be upright, not cry when encountering problems, but should be strong and find ways to solve problems.

But what should he do now? This place is like a maze, no matter how he runs, he can't get out.

If he can't leave here before dawn, he will still be caught and taken back. I'm afraid he really won't be able to hold on this time.

"No, I can't wait to die here. Mother said that I am a man and cannot cry."

After muttering to himself, he raised his sleeve, wiped his eyes, and stood up again.

This time, he did not rush on his way, but stood here and carefully identified the direction.

After he ruled out the direction he came from and the direction he just ran, it seemed that the only place left to go was an area with denser weeds.

He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and reminded himself,

"Leng Jinyan, you are a man, you can do it, you really can do it."

Leaving these words behind, he endured the fatigue and pain in his body, took big strides, and walked towards the dark place.

However, he did not realize that he was about to walk into an abyss...

"what……"

Before falling off the cliff, his shoes fell on the cliff and his clothes were torn.

His voice echoed in the silent night sky, resounding throughout the entire valley, but no one heard it.
