125. Magic Stick (16)
Wang Jinchuan grinned all the way to his house. He couldn't help but grin. Every step he took, his muscles all over his body trembled in pain, as if someone was cutting with a knife dipped in salt water.
He begged the doctor to prescribe painkillers, but the broken medicine was of no use at all. When he went to make a fuss about returning the goods, the hospital called the police. He had no choice but to drag his body aching all over and return to his hometown.
Wang Jinchuan did not dare to confront the police. Not to mention that he still had the wallet he had stolen before. Some time ago, he drank too much and almost dragged a girl who looked like a student into an alley. It was enough to scare him.
What frightened him the most was the strange man who suddenly appeared that day.
Just like what the man said, since then, he has been hurting all over his body, but the hospital can't find any symptoms. Every night, other patients sleep soundly, but he is so weak in pain that he can't even scream. No sound can be made.
The injury that the girl hit him with was finally cured, but there were sequelae. If Wang Jinchuan had said anything before, he would have tried every means to find the girl and take revenge, but now, his face turns pale with pain every day. Qing, how could you care about this?
The money he had stolen before was all in vain during this period. He wanted to repeat the same trick to steal things, but it was so painful that it was difficult to walk. Someone caught him before he could reach out his hand. He had no choice but to do this. Then I thought of returning to my hometown, where at least there would be a yellow-faced woman to take care of me.
Seeing that he was almost home, Wang Jinchuan stopped to take a breath like an old man. His whole body ached, especially his legs, which made him unable to stand straight.
There are also shoulders, which are sore and uncomfortable.
He was about to reach out his hand to rub his shoulders, but suddenly thought of the blood-red eyes he saw that day, his hand froze, and he put it down unnaturally.
The man kept comforting himself in his heart. It was all fake. The young Taoist priest had lied to him. It must be the same as a trick. There were no ghosts in the world, and there was nothing on his shoulders.
Thinking about it, he opened the door and went in, shouting, "Where are you, I'm back."
The room was empty, there was dust on the table that had not been wiped for a long time, and there were even big spider webs in the corners.
It can be seen that no one has lived in this house for a long time.
The man frowned, looked around the room, and had to confirm a fact.
His wife disappeared with her belongings.
Forget it, his wife was gone, and even his son was nowhere to be seen. Wang Jinchuan's face darkened and he punched the table with his fist.
"grass!"
Then, my whole body froze in pain, and I didn't dare to move for a long time.
He turned his neck, only to feel that it was stiff and uncomfortable, thinking that the woman must have taken her son back to her parents' home.
Wang Jinchuan usually likes to beat his wife and son to vent his anger when he drinks too much or is in a bad mood. Sometimes the woman can't bear it and takes her son back to live with her parents until he goes to pick him up, then reluctantly follows him back.
Because every time his wife went back, her mother-in-law would ask her to bring meat and food, and sometimes they would give her money. Wang Jinchuan was not angry when she went back. Anyway, this woman only had one old woman in her family and did not dare to file a complaint.
Their family is a rare single family. It is at the bottom of the mountain, far away from the center of the village, and there are no homes around. Wang Jinchuan beats people only on the flesh under their clothes. His wife is afraid of being beaten. In addition, knowing how cruel her husband is, she dare not tell him no matter how painful it is, and she usually just protects her son silently.
Wang Jinchuan thought about calling people back today to wash, cook and serve him, but he was really tired from the walk all the way. He went back to the inner room, intending to wake up first.
The pain in the past two days had made him feel uncomfortable all over his body. After enduring it for so many days, he couldn't bear it any longer. He frowned and fell asleep with his whole body trembling from the pain.
Even when he fell asleep, he felt uncomfortable all over. He twisted his neck and felt something was up there.
Wang Jinchuan was bitten by rhubarb last time and his soul was unstable. Later he came to his senses and regained his composure. Of course he didn't know that there was a little girl sitting next to him at this moment.
Her face was pale, her eyes were as red as the red moon, her little hands were covered in blood, and she was trying hard to pinch the man's neck.
Xi Liu couldn't see anything else, except for the bad uncle in front of her, there was only darkness. She tried very hard to strangle this man, but no matter how hard she tried, Wang Jinchuan couldn't feel it.
She was so angry that her whole body seemed to be burning.
Xi Liu thought, it would be better if it was burned.
When it was burned, she took her uncle and was burned to ashes, so that he could no longer do bad things.
Strangle you!
Xi Liu will strangle you to death!
She angrily muttered words that no one could hear, and strangled the man's neck hard.
——Xiliu, I’m taking you to a good family to enjoy the blessings. Stop crying and wipe your tears, otherwise they won’t love you. You will suffer poverty when you follow my uncle. If you go there, you can eat well and drink spicy food. There is nothing to cry about when you have nice new clothes to wear.
——You didn’t hear me tell you not to cry, right? Wipe your tears quickly. If the crying big boss is unhappy and doesn't want you, I will throw you into the ravine to feed the wolves!
——Hurry up and put on these clothes. I’ll show off in a while, you hear me!
——Expose these shoulders, eh, that’s it, come on, uncle will give you a lollipop, you take it, and when you meet the big boss, you have to smile, it’s a nice smile, you know?
She was ignorantly wearing clothes that she shouldn't wear at her age, and was led to meet a man.
The man had a big belly and a double chin, and his eyes were almost invisible when he smiled. When he saw her, his smile became even bigger, and his eyes were full of meaning that Xi Liu couldn't understand.
He coaxed her to come to him and wanted to take off her clothes.
Xi Liu thought about her grandfather's words and grabbed her clothes to prevent him from moving. The girl's voice was crisp and childish, "Grandpa said that girls cannot take off their clothes in front of others."
She called the man her uncle and coaxed her, "Xiliu, this is no one else. From now on, you should follow this gentleman. Hurry up and be obedient and let go of your hands."
"No, grandpa said it's not possible..."
No one listened to Xi Liu's words. They forcefully opened her little hand. She cried and resisted, "It hurts, my hand hurts..."
The child's weak cry not only did not make the two of them flinch, but also aroused their desire. Their eyes frightened Xiliu. She tried her best to jump off the stranger's lap and wanted to find her grandfather.
But the door was locked. She was too young to open the door, so she could only knock on the door crying and asking for help.
"Grandpa, I want grandpa..."
Someone picked her up from behind and went to take off her clothes. Xi Liu became anxious and bit her hand, which made the man scream.
"Boss, are you okay? Don't be angry. The little girl is ignorant. I'll just give her a good beating..."
The uncle beat her and asked her to take off her clothes. Xiliu stubbornly huddled in the corner, crying so hard that she couldn't see clearly. She still insisted on what her grandfather taught her, "Grandpa said, Xiliu is a girl and cannot be shown to boys." "
The aunt next door also taught her this way. When she asked why her grandfather sent eggs to her aunt every month and asked her aunt to help her take a bath, her aunt also said that girls' bodies cannot be shown to boys, even grandpa.
She later learned how to bathe herself very hard, so that she could leave eggs for her grandfather to eat. Her aunt also said that when she grows up and becomes successful, she can buy a lot of eggs for her grandfather...
"I don't want to enjoy happiness, I want a grandpa, uncle, please take me home, Xi Liu doesn't like eating meat, Xi Liu doesn't want to wear new clothes, Xi Liu wants a grandpa!"
She cried and begged her uncle to take her home, but in the end she was carried to the stranger who was covering his hands. Xi Liu struggled desperately and accidentally kicked the man's legs with her little feet.
Later, the person left angrily, and her uncle wanted to take off her clothes again. Xiliu took another bite, and then a pair of big hands pinched the small child's neck.
The last words she heard as a human being were full of viciousness and cruelty.
"I let you enjoy the blessings, but you don't enjoy them, and you don't know what is good or bad!"
The little girl's eyes gradually became bloodshot due to suffocation, and her face turned red. She wanted to make a sound, but she could only stretch out her two little hands and struggle silently.
Xiliu doesn't want to enjoy happiness, Xiliu just wants to be with grandpa.
Grandpa said that he would let Xiliu go to school and go to college. When Xiliu goes to college, he can make money to support his grandfather in his old age, and he will not have to carry firewood down the mountain so hard every day.
She wants to buy a warm quilt for her grandpa, buy useful shoes for her grandpa, and take her grandpa to see a doctor in a big city. Every day, grandpa just needs to bask in the sun comfortably.
——But these were all destroyed by uncle! !
The little girl's eyes were red, and the beautiful fantasies about the future that only existed in her mind made her even more angry.
"It's all your fault. Xi Liu can't buy shoes for grandpa, can't buy comfortable quilts, can't let grandpa enjoy happiness, it's all your fault!!"
I don't know if it's because of anger. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find any traces on this person before, but now, Wang Jinchuan's neck began to show pinch marks that were unique to a child.
The mark was small and purple, and the man in his sleep was blushing. He couldn't keep his eyes open, and his hands began to wave uneasily.
A sweet smile appeared on the little girl's cute and delicate face, and she said, "Uncle, does it hurt?"
"Xiliu was in such pain at that time, too."
clang--
clang--
The sound of the bell spread into the house, and the hand on the man's neck paused. The girl raised her head in confusion, the blood in her eyes not fading, but with a hint of innocence.
——"Xiliu, come back..."
——"Xiliu, come back..."
The little girl slowly let go of her hand, her eyes still red, her bare feet landed on the ground, and she walked over following the hoarse and familiar voice.
In the bamboo forest, Zhong Hua was ringing a bell with one hand and putting clothes into the fire in front of him with the other hand. The clothes were burned and the flames were very strong. His eyes were red, as if he was tired, and he kept shouting this thing he had been doing since he was a child. Look at the older little sister.
"Xiliu, come back, come back..."
The little girl looked confused and slowly came not far from him.
The clothes on her body changed little by little, from the gaudy ones that didn't look like children's clothes at all, to the childlike Mickey Mouse cartoon clothes.
Xiliu's hair was still messy and her feet were still bare, but at least her body was clean.
Zhong Hua seemed to be aware of it and slowly raised his head.
After seeing clearly that the little girl in front of him was still as big as he remembered, he smiled with tears in his eyes.
"Do you like it? My brother still remembers that Xi Liu said that he likes Mickey Mouse the most."
It was a few years ago that he saved up money to buy clothes for his little sister Xiliu. When he returned home, he found that he was gone.
The clothes were just left under the cabinet at home, thinking that they would never be given away in this life.
The little girl's eyes gradually became clear. She lowered her head slightly, looked at her brand-new cartoon clothes, and smiled.
"It's the Mickey Mouse I've always wanted."
She said a little happily, "Xiliu likes it."
