    The pork lard on the butcher's stall was still sizzling, and I was clutching a coin covered in bits of meat when someone suddenly blocked my way. Looking up, I saw a well-dressed man staring at me like a hungry wolf eyeing a piece of meat. "Xiao Wu, is that you?" His voice trembled, as if he'd seen a ghost. I shoved him aside; this guy must be out of his mind! "A good dog doesn't block the way!" I said, grabbing my butcher's knife and rushing towards the restaurant. That bastard who ate and dashed was still hiding inside; I'd find him today! After a chaotic scene, I finally stuffed the coin into my pocket. Just as I returned to the butcher's stall, that strange man followed me again. Without looking up, I wiped the counter: "Sold out, come back tomorrow." But he wouldn't give up, chasing after me to ask my name. I sneered; I'd seen plenty of these lecherous men. "Look at you, all dressed up, you're nothing but a playboy, a scumbag." He turned and walked away, cursing his bad luck inwardly. Who knew this madman would actually chase him to my doorstep! Old Mrs. Wang from next door threw a basin of dirty water at him, glaring at him, "Don't mess with our Xiao Wu!" I hid behind the door, eavesdropping. I heard the strange man pull out a jade pendant, lying that his name was Luo Huaiqiu, and that he was looking for his sister. Old Mrs. Wang actually believed his lies and led him into the house. I leaned against the wall, eavesdropping, and when I heard the name "Luo Li," my hand trembled, my nails scratching the mud wall with a harsh sound. Memories from three years ago suddenly surged back. A fire burned half the sky red, and as my mother pushed me into the cellar, I clung tightly to her sleeve: "Mother, I'm scared..." Her tears dripped onto the back of my hand, burning hot: "Xiao Wu, run, go find your brother..." Later, I escaped, but I could never find my way home again. I dared not use my real name, fearing my enemies would discover it, so I said I was the fifth child, and everyone called me Xiao Wu (Little Fifth). Every day after selling the meat, I ate cornbread with pickled vegetables, and shared the remaining pig offal with the villagers. They saved me; I had to remember their kindness. Lost in thought, I heard a knock at the door. Aunt Wang's loud voice rang out: "Xiao Wu, come out and see your brother!" I flung open the door, a blast of cold air hitting my neck, making me shiver. The man who called himself "brother" stood in the moonlight, his eager eyes making my heart race. "Xiao Wu, I am your brother," he said hoarsely, as if he had been holding back for a long time. A sudden surge of anger welled up inside me, and I slammed the door shut, sending dust and debris flying. What brother? I haven't had a home in ages! But when I turned and touched the jade pendant in my bosom, the one my mother had left me, engraved with the character "Li" (璃), now burned a sharp pain in my heart. There was no sound outside the door. I peered through the crack and only saw his back disappear into the alleyway. A night breeze blew, and the butcher's knife on the chopping board swayed gently. The blade reflected my blurry face, so much like the little girl my mother used to describe, the one who always hid behind her brother when she was little. But now, I'm just a butcher, and nobody needs me as their little sister.
