Twenty.

The eldest girl is the daughter of the boat boss. Le Wen Novel|

Like Zhou Yu, she was actually not born to Boss Zhou, she was eight years old when she followed her mother Ah Fang to Boss Zhou's house. It's easy to figure out why Ah Fang, such a beautiful and quiet woman, would marry Boss Zhou, a rough man who is uneducated, temperamental, and vicious.

She didn't have a choice. I don't have a job, I'm pregnant out of wedlock, I'm in poor health, and I have a daughter who drags oil bottles. Life can be difficult in such a small, remote place. So as soon as someone proposed, the family naturally couldn't wait to send their mother and daughter, and the object was still the owner of an inn, with such a name, no matter how small and dilapidated the hotel was, it didn't matter.

Ah Fang and Boss Zhou met in the hospital.

At that time, she was dispensing Chinese medicine in the hospital, and the boss of the boat went to visit the patient, seeing that her body was weak and trembling, carrying a large bag of medicine and walking slowly to the station, feeling pity.

So Ah Fang felt that at the beginning, she was probably the boss of Aizhou, just like a piece of duckweed floating around, it was easy to find a strong reed to rely on, and he suddenly felt relieved, and he had always been good to this daughter who was not his own.

So the days seemed to be quite bright, although sometimes the strong desire of the boat boss made her a little unbearable.

She tried to digest this dilemma by saying that 'men are so passionate because of love', but the more time passed, the more unbearable it became, and the years of anemia made it difficult for her to become interested in the affairs of the house, and the boss's demands for her body were like a beast that was getting hungrier and thirstier, forever fierce and never satisfied.

When Ah Fang finally got pregnant, she thought, this is finally good, she can finally stop being tortured so often.

But she didn't expect that this would not be any restraining effect at all for a man with strong desires.

After surviving the dangerous period of the first few months, as soon as the fetus reached the stable period, he couldn't wait to put Ah Fang on the bed for most of the night, until the energy he had accumulated for several months was exhausted, and he let go of Ah Fang and fell asleep snoring like thunder.

Ah Fang said that at that time she almost had the idea of killing him.

She only felt that every cent and every penny of this man made her hate it, and when he entered her body, she just wanted to vomit, and she knew that no matter whether she gave birth to this child in the future or not, she would not be able to continue to live with this man like the beast.

So she waited slowly, slowly boiled, and after being raped and slandered by men again and again, and locked herself in the toilet again and again unbearably crying and vomiting, Zhou Yu was born.

For Ah Fang, it was as if God had quietly lit a lamp in her dark life where she was so desperate that she couldn't see her fingers.

Although the light was only as big as a bean, she calmed down at that moment.

She felt as if she had seen hope again for continuing to live with the man, for God had given her a great meaning to live like this.

But later I learned that it was not hope, it was a cruel joke that God played with her.

Not more than 100 days after Zhou Yu was born, he suddenly contracted a very severe pneumonia and died.

And the reason why he contracted pneumonia was because one night when the boss of the boat forced Ah Fang to satisfy his desires, he thought he was crying too loudly, so he put him in the toilet.

The toilet was cold and damp, and when Ah Fang hurriedly took Zhou Yu out in the middle of the night with severe pain all over her body, the child's face turned purple from the cold. On the same day, the high fever did not stop, and when he was sent to the hospital for rescue, where was it too late.

This blow made Ah Fang lose his heart for a while.

Every time Boss Zhou approached, he kicked and bit him hysterically, and during this time, Boss Zhou finally didn't touch her again, and in essence, he lost his appetite for her, because she was a lot older at that time, and her body was hopelessly dirty because she refused to wash and groom.

I don't know if because of this, she got a little mercy from God, just when everyone thought that she could still recover her health, one day she suddenly found that her child had returned, and the little Zhou Yu, who had left her before a hundred days old, actually returned.

As before, lying on his little bed, waving his little hands, looking at her happily.

Even he can speak.

Why can a baby who is less than 100 days old speak? Ah Fang did not have the slightest suspicion about this at that time, but felt that she was about to go crazy with joy, and when the child opened her mouth and called her mother in a milky voice, she felt like a pot of withering plants that had been watered with life-saving water in an instant, and came back to life.

The big girl is also very happy.

Although she was initially very surprised by her brother's resurrection, she quickly accepted the fact. For a child in her early teens, the reason for acceptance is very simple, because as soon as her brother returns, her mother immediately recovers, and when her mother recovers, she no longer has to worry about losing her mother all day long, afraid that one day she will lose her mother completely.

That day, when the eldest girl told Ah Fang about this thought, Ah Fang cried.

She is determined to cheer up and protect these two children well, even if life is difficult and unsatisfactory, she will live it with gritted teeth.

Unexpectedly, just when the hope of life was just given birth to such a little green seedling, God gave her another blow.

She was diagnosed with a family disease, aplastic anemia.

The boss of the sick boat was furious, because the medical expenses increased multipliously, and he was overwhelmed.

And every time he had nowhere to vent his anger, he would always punch and kick Zhou Yu with various excuses, as if the child he beat and cried again and again was not his own son, but a stray cat and dog that followed him on the road and wanted to kick him out of the house.

The poor boy was only five or six years old at the time, and he was beaten to the point that his arm was swollen, and he refused to take him to the hospital for treatment, because the boss of the boat thought that it would waste him a lot of money, and that money would be used to pay for Ah Fang's medical expenses.

When he heard him say this, Ah Fang really wanted to kill himself with a knife.

Unable to protect his own child and fight for his right to see a doctor, what is the point of such a waste living in the world?

But in the end, she still didn't seek death, because she knew that when she was alive, the boss of the boat treated the poor child like this, and once she died, the child's last straw was gone.

Later, when she saw Boss Zhou raising a stick and pumping it at Zhou Yu for a trivial matter, she rushed over regardless of Qi Qi and blocked the stick for Zhou Yu.

And the stick happened to hit her head, and she was smashed into shock on the spot.

When she woke up in the hospital, Fong burst into tears.

It seems that he can vent the resentment that has accumulated in his heart for too much and too long.

Then he said. Whether it is facing the doctors, or the patients and their families around her, as long as the boat boss is not around, she will cry and complain to those strangers about her husband's atrocities and the misery of her fate.

At first, it was narrated with an incomparably fierce emotion, almost viciously and frantically.

But after a while, she stopped saying anything, even if the people around her asked tentatively, she stopped talking.

Because after her mind gradually calmed down with the venting of her mouthpiece, she realized that the accusations of the weak were only exchanged for sympathetic sighs from others and whispered discussions behind her back.

Nothing else helped.

No one would call the police for her because of her words.

No one could help her and her children get out of that man.

No one could change her life just by the words she uttered with her grief and indignation.

So before the wound was fully healed, she went home alone early, and she was really worried about what would happen to the young child when she was not at home.

But when she returned home, she found that it was not her young son who had suffered an even more terrible fate, but the daughter who had just turned sixteen and had never worried her much.

Yes, she almost never worried much about her daughter.

Because over the years of marriage, no matter what happened, Boss Zhou has always been good to her daughter.

Pay her tuition on time, pick her up when she comes home late, and occasionally buy her a new dress or two.

Ah Fang always thought that this might be what people say, that fathers always love their daughters more than their sons.

But she was wrong, so wrong that she would never forgive herself for this naïve and simple cognition for the rest of her life.

Because that day, when she opened the door of her own store with heavy thoughts and heavy steps, she found that there was no one in the hotel, and she did not hear the sound of Zhou Yu running up and down and playing with herself.

She was a little worried that something would happen, and when she hurried to the bedroom to find him, she was stunned when the door was pushed.

She saw her husband's bear-sturdy, swarthy body pressed against her daughter's tiny body, and fell together, with a disgusting moaning like a pig.

And her daughter lay silently on the bed like a dead man, her eyes wide open, staring motionless at the ceiling, as if by this she could see through the roof with her own eyes, through the heavens, through the heart of God who was high above.

"Brute!" Fong went crazy.

Screaming and rushing towards the boss of the boat, frantically tearing his hair, frantically biting his still trembling body in obsession.

Gritting her teeth and bleeding, she was grabbed by the owner of the boat with a hideous face in pain, and threw her out of the door as easily as a chicken. "Damn! Rags! You can't use it, and you dare to mess with Lao Tzu?!"

The last voice Ah Fang heard before losing consciousness was the sentence of the boat boss who was full of violence and cruelty.

The last scene Ah Fang saw before losing consciousness was when her daughter jumped up from the bed, grabbed the lamp and smashed it on the head of the boat boss.

But he couldn't knock Boss Zhou unconscious, and he didn't even hurt him, but he was hit by his backhand punch and stumbled into the wall behind him.

When she woke up, Fong found her daughter missing.

Nowhere could he be found, and even Zhou Yu didn't know where his sister was, and when he asked him, he would only cry and shake his head. Ah Fang was in a hurry and wanted to go out to call the police several times, but was always stopped by Boss Zhou for various reasons.

Later, seeing that it was useless to stop him, he began to punch and kick her.

It was more ruthless and vicious than beating Zhou Yu, and beat her until she couldn't go out anymore, and then everyone said that her daughter was terminally ill, and her wife was also crazy.

In that way, he was trapped by him for more than a year, and one day, Boss Zhou suddenly brought a monk and said some strange things to him.

Then all of a sudden, the hotel started to get a little weird.

She found that there were no customers in the store, and she couldn't get out of the store.

All day long, going up and down, going around and around, whether she was crying or screaming, slamming doors or throwing things, she could never take a step out of the hotel.

And Boss Zhou has always turned a blind eye to her angry and crazy behavior, and never responded to her questions.

No matter how many times she pestered him and asked, where had her daughter gone?

He never gave any answer, not even a single glance at her.

Only Zhou Yu would come to see her from time to time, take her by the hand and lead her to sit on the wall of the room, rub her palms against the strange plants on the wall, and then talk to her for a while.

Then one day, I don't know if it was serious, or if the child was childish and wanted to try to comfort her with a joke, he said to Ah Fang very seriously: "Mom, endure it for a few more years, and when I grow up, when those things on the wall grow stronger, I will take you out." Take you out with your sister. ”

"And where is your sister??" she asked urgently.

Zhou Yu smiled, smiling like an adult: "Sister is on the other side of the wall." Mom, I'll protect you both. ”

At this point, the young man didn't continue, probably seeing me stealing the corners of his eyes.

"What are you sad about. So he asked me.

I shook my head: "It's not sad, it's angry, very, very angry, so angry that I can't describe it." ”

"Why. ”

Why?

In fact, there were a lot of words that I wanted to rush out of my throat just now, but when he asked these three words, I found that I was angry, but I couldn't say a word.

The feeling of grief, powerlessness, and wanting to tear the whole story apart left me speechless.

"So, Ah Fang was actually dead when he was pushed to the ground by the man surnamed Zhou?" I asked him a moment later.

"Not yet. But the excessive grief and anger made her no different from the living dead at that time, and she was tormented by illness for a long time, so a year later, she died quietly in ignorance, and her soul stubbornly stayed in this hotel, and did what she did all day long. ”

"So the surnamed Zhou brought the monk to the inn just to seal her soul?"

Not only that, but she was forced to die again after her death, turning into a deaf. If it weren't for Zhou Yu's efforts to use those plants to raise her all day long, she would inevitably turn into something more powerful in the long run, and I'm afraid the monk didn't expect this. ”

"Why is he so ruthless......

"Boss Zhou. ”

"Yes. One is his wife, the other is a daughter who has lived with him for so many years, and the other is not human, but has never harmed others. Why do you think this guy treats them like this??and his lower mouth!" At this, I couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and I glared at the man in front of me who was being stuffed into the police car through the windowpane: "It's not as good as a brute! It's not as good as a brute!!

I had just yelled two sentences, and suddenly I had a sharp pain in my body.

I gasped in pain and suddenly tightened my body, only to feel like I had been dug with a knife in several places on my body, and the pain was so painful that I couldn't even make a sound of pain. Seeing this, he grabbed my tightened arm, and despite my cold sweat in pain, he quickly stretched out his fingers and pushed hard from the arm to the palm of his hand.

Following the trail of his fingers, I caught a glimpse of a thin red line in my skin rushing from my arm to my palm.

It's also amazing, the red thread just disappeared in the palm of my hand, the pain on my body was immediately reduced a lot, and my waist was able to straighten up all of a sudden, I breathed a sigh of relief, and almost didn't hold the miraculous 'doctor' in front of me into my arms.

"You're so amazing!" I opened my mouth for a long time and spit out these four words.

He smiled, as if he didn't see my impulsive and half-behavior, turned his head to look out the window and said lightly: "You can't have such a huge fluctuation anymore, otherwise, it will be difficult for the gods to prolong your life for you." ”

"But can you imagine??I've lived for more than twenty years, and I've never seen such a disgusting person! How can I bear it......

"It's only been more than 20 years, and you think you can see how much evil in the world. ”

“...... How many have you seen then? ”

"That's enough for me to understand a point. ”

"What's the truth?"

"Ghosts and demons are no match for the dirtiness in some people's hearts. Those are extremely dirty and penetrate deep into the bone marrow, which is more hopeless than cancer. That's why, even in the face of such a big meal, I still feel that making a deal with that deaf person will make me feel more satisfied. ”

"You made a deal with Ah Fang?

He glanced at me without replying, just quietly started the car and drove in the direction of the main road.

The speed of driving was a little fast, until it was on the main road, and then gradually slowed down, and then said:

"A deal that will make the boat boss worse than dead. ”

I was stunned: "Life is better than death?

"Until Zhou Yu regains his body and is able to take his mother and sister out of this inn, Boss Zhou will never be able to leave this place. When he is released from the police station a few days later and returns to the area, he will find that he has never seen a man again, and he has never been able to eat anything again. But he will live. Every day he sleeps in extreme hunger and thirst, every day he wakes up in extreme hunger and thirst, he goes crazy, he tries desperately to find a way to get out of this place, but he has to sleep, doesn't he, wake up like ...... old way."

"It doesn't sound like much of a punishment that makes life worse than death. Interrupting him, I didn't think so.

He smiled: "I think death is the most terrible thing, don't you?" ”

"Like me, I was slowly scared to death before I died, or slowly tortured to death, so that life is better than death. ”

"Huh...... Young and naïve in the end. ”

"It's just that I wake up hungry and sleep hungry every day, and I don't see anyone, and there is ...... about to say to him with an angry complaint, 'What's this?'"

But when I saw his eyes staring out of the car window silently, those four words couldn't come out of his mouth.

Because it occurred to me that this man had been a prisoner in Hades' Well for a thousand years.

For a thousand years, watching my skin turn into white bones, unable to eat or drink, sleeping endlessly and waking up again, day after day, day after day......

Lonely to the point of being unstoppable.

Despair beyond measure.

Should...... It's scary, isn't it......

"You can see that the grass is growing on my face. When Wu was stunned by his thoughts, he suddenly heard him laugh and throw a joke at me.

I blushed slightly, then sat up straight, "And what did you get out of that deal?"

The so-called transactions, naturally, come and go.

"That's it. He felt something out of his pocket and threw it on my knee: "Eat one grain a day, and you can live as many days as you want." ”

"Medicine?" it was a small glass bottle, as small as a bottle of a musk pill. I don't know where he got it, but it contained tiny black pills, which looked very similar to musk heart pills. So I looked at them for a while at the light, and I casually asked, "What's it for?"

"One of the ingredients is called the Shiyin Black Blood Cicada. ”

"Got it?"

"No, it's a stone. ”

"Stone for medicine?"

"This stone is special. The stone flesh is a cold yin stone, and the stone skin is called black blood because of the red in the ink, but the temperament is extremely hot. These two properties are attached to a stone, and they can have a relatively good pharmacological effect, such as suppressing the spreading poison in your body. ”

I see...... Sounds amazing, doesn't it? "But, where did you get such a powerful thing? I didn't see you yesterday, did you......"

He smiled: "It is a burial vessel used to depress the tongue on the corpse of Li Yi, the king of Shu." ”

After saying this, I was stunned for two or three seconds, then turned my head and threw myself out the window, my mouth spitting on the ground.

He didn't seem to see my pain, and while driving, he continued to speak, his voice was clear and pleasant, but he heard my stomach tumbling for a while: "As for the other ingredients, one is the blood left behind when the doll breaks, and the other is the deal I made with Na Deaf, it is ......"

"Enough...... Stop it...... Don't talk about it......"

——The end of the bloody coffin——
