I returned to the kitchen, covering my face and looking at the ceiling.

I thought to myself, last year when my sister was killed, I was powerless to stop it, but this time I must not let them kill my brother.

I struggled to climb onto the stove to prepare meals for them, because I couldn't reach, so I had to use a stool under my feet.

Since I was 6 years old, they have had me cooking, and now I am very skilled at it.

After they finished eating, Aunt Man asked them to pretend to take my brother into the city as they did last time.

Then secretly bring him back to the cave.

After feeding my brother medicine and hiding him in the cave, my parents ate the meal I cooked and went to sleep, ready to go back in the middle of the night.

While they were asleep, I ran to the cave, took my brother out, and placed him at the village chief's doorstep.

When my parents went to the cave in the middle of the night, I followed them.

Upon reaching the cave, they found that my brother was no longer there, and their faces turned pale with shock.

Aunt Man was also present this time, and she kept searching the cave repeatedly, but still couldn't find him.

My mother was a bit scared and said, "Could it be that the elder sister and younger sister have reincarnated? They can't be lost, can't be killed!"

"Shut up! Do you believe in such nonsense?" my father scolded her.

At that moment, Aunt Man opened a pile of hay in the cave and found a hole. She wanted to take a look inside, but accidentally stepped on it and fell in with a scream.

Her scream startled my parents.

Our cave was quite deep, and I could only hear a faint sound from outside.

When my parents turned around, their faces turned even worse instantly.

They hurried over to pull Aunt Man out of the hole.

I saw Aunt Man lying on the ground covered in blood, with a sharp wooden stick stuck in her stomach, motionless.

My mother screamed in fear, "She's dead! She's dead! What should we do, Old Qiu!"

"Shut up! Shut up! Why are you yelling! Do you want the whole village to know?" my father scolded her.

But I could see he was also quite scared, trembling all over.

My mother trembled even more violently, her voice trembling, "We buried the elder sister and younger sister in the pit, covered with some sweet potatoes and yams, but I don't remember this stick!"

"And it's so sharp!"

At this point, my father said, "I was afraid someone would come to steal things, so I wanted to scare them. How would I know she wouldn't see it!"

My mother was very angry after hearing this, she directly hit my father, while scolding, "Are you out of your mind! Why did you put a stick there? Who doesn't have sweet potatoes and yams at home, and you're still thinking about this! It really makes me angry, wuwuwu..."

My father, in pain from the hit, also slapped my mother, angrily saying, "Don't you know why I did it? Just to prevent others from knowing that the elder sister and younger sister are buried underground!"

My mother was stunned for a moment, then started crying again.

"Hurry up and help bury her!"

After my father finished speaking, he jumped into the pit, started throwing up the sweet potatoes and yams, then took a hoe and began to dig.

Watching him dig, I didn't know what it would feel like if he dug up my sister's body.

I felt extremely uncomfortable, almost suffocating.

I didn't know how long my father had been digging, but eventually, he and my mother together threw Aunt Man's body into the pit.

They also buried the soil stained with blood.

Strangely, I felt no fear in my heart.

Since my sister was throat-cut that time, I no longer felt afraid.

I even calmly watched them bury the body, then returned home before them this time.

This time, I didn't run.
