Mortal Days Part.1 Chapter 69: Old Things (1)

There are so many things in this world that you can't ask for, and those that are at your fingertips are much cheaper than those that are readily available. When I was a child, I was obsessed with the latest electric toys, begged my grandfather to tell my grandmother that I couldn't have them, and when I became an adult, I had the funds to buy these childhood memories, but I didn't experience the initial fun.

As long as the physical body survives in the Six Realms, how can it be alone even if it is otherworldly. If you want everything you want, and if you can't ask for it, your resentment will accumulate over time and eventually become a hidden danger.

In the Lin family's villa, in addition to Lin Caiwei's woman and her prospective son-in-law Huang Zhuhe, they stared at the old lady Jasmine, who was directly inserted into Lin Laoer's stomach. The curly-haired dog Okamoto was rarely lying quietly at my feet, only slightly open the dog's eyes, and Situ Dailian, who was kicked unconscious by it, had not yet woken up, and was currently lying motionless on the sofa.

Lin Xianzhi supported Ma Ruying, who was a little weak-legged, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was killing intent in her eyes, after the old lady Jasmine broke the news, our group of outsiders were not touched, just listened to it as a story, but Ma Ruying heard Jasmine talk about old things, but the whole person's heels were weak, if it wasn't for her daughter to support her in time, she would have slumped on the ground.

The old lady Jasmine was quite proud when she saw Ma Ruying slumped, and continued to talk about the old things.

Forty years ago, it rained heavily in the middle of the night, a natural disaster rarely seen in recent decades, and several hours of continuous rain caused landslides that damaged most of the houses in the village. As the water line increased to the waist of the person, the villagers all ran to the upper floor of the only two-story building in the village, but fortunately, there were not many villagers, and this old rich man's house was also spacious, even if the space for activities was small, it was better than soaking in water in his own earthen house.

Although the two-story building left by the rich man was used as an activity room for the villagers on weekdays, it was only used when the villagers' meeting was held, and most of the time it was on the first floor, but few people came to this second floor. I thought that this building was uninhabited all year round, and it should be a scene full of dust and rats and cockroaches, but when we got upstairs, we found that the second floor was much cleaner than the downstairs, not to mention the cobwebs on the roof, and there was very little dust on the floor, so it was obvious that someone often cleaned it.

This is very strange, logically speaking, the villagers have a lot of daily farm work and a lot of household chores waiting for themselves, how can they have leisure time to go here to help clean up. At this time, Lai Qiang, who was usually idle in the village, couldn't be idle and rummaged around, and actually found a dark room from the wall close to the inside, and when the wall was opened, he saw a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old curled up in the corner and shivering, and the villagers were all shocked, and they didn't know the girl hiding in the dark room.

At that time, many people in the village had never been outside in their lives, only the daughter of the old Li family had worked outside with her uncle a few years ago, and this knowledge was more, and when the villagers looked at this sudden girl at a loss, Li Tong had already run in and pulled the skinny girl out. The girl is afraid of life, especially living in this claustrophobic space all the year round, and when she comes out, she closes her eyes tightly when she encounters a little light, and hides behind Li Tong.

Everyone is very curious about how this girl lives, but the villagers don't know how to speak, but Lai Qiang, who steals chickens and dogs in the village, doesn't care so much, and the big fat girls in the village are impatient to see it, but they are interested in this thin little girl. The child looked thin, but his facial features were upright, especially his dark eyes.

Lai Qiang was called so because of the scoundrel, he shouted loudly, saying that this girl was not from the village, he was the first to find out and should be disposed of by him, and said that he was almost thirty years old, and he happened to have a daughter-in-law. After hearing this, the villagers were talking about it in a low voice, although they didn't look down on Lai Qiang, but none of them came out to stop it, they all knew Lai Qiang's nature of retribution, and no one wanted to lose a chicken or a duck at home in the dark and windy house one day.

Seeing that no one objected, Lai Qiang smiled and took the girl's small arm and walked into the dark room, the girl shook her head, gritting her teeth and teardrops one after another, but she didn't shout. Lai Qiang felt unlucky, picking up a cheap daughter-in-law was still a mute, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he didn't pull her anymore, but instead grabbed the girl's arm, and the flesh wrapped in the bones was twisted, and the girl screamed in pain.

Lai Qiang was instantly excited, his eyes lit up, and he carried the girl on his shoulders and was about to walk into the dark room. The girl should have accepted her fate at this time, and she didn't resist, so she lay on Lai Qiang's shoulder and looked at Li Tong, after experiencing fear and panic, those eyes had already become expressionless.

Li Tong once had a younger sister named Li Nian, who accidentally fell into the water and died when she was 7 years old. This incident is a shadow that Li Tong can't erase, if her sister is still alive now, she must be about the same age as this girl. Li Tong looked at those eyes and couldn't help feeling guilty, and then after thinking about it, she still made a move, she ran to Lai Qiang's side to stop him, and asked Lai Qiang what he was going to do here.

Lai Qiang is used to being a scoundrel, and his teeth have changed color after smoking, and when he blows with his mouth, Li Tong suddenly feels dizzy and wants to vomit. Lai Qiang said that of course he was doing something comfortable, and then pushed Li Tong aside, turned his head and added, asking Li Tong what he was going to do if he wanted to join in.

After Li Tong fell, he picked up a wooden stick on the ground, and after getting up, he smashed it on the top of Lai Qiang's head with the strength of milk, Li Tong, who had been a mason helper for several months, still had some strength, this stuffy stick went down, Lai Qiang had a big swollen bag on the top of his head, and it looked like a bullet from a distance, he touched the top of his head and scolded a few words, threw the girl into the dark room and snatched the wooden stick in Li Tong's hand, and after holding it with both hands, he broke it with both hands, and threw it backwards.

Li Tong is not in his twenties, he is very quiet on weekdays, not to mention fighting, even quarrels with others have not happened, after hitting Lai Qiang with a stick, his body can't help shaking, and when he saw Lai Qiang walking towards him step by step, his legs were weak and he collapsed on the ground, and he couldn't get up again. Not long after Li Tong returned to the village, some of the neighbors and villagers have not yet recognized it, but he only has a deep memory of this man who was called Lai Qiang by the villagers.

Li Tong turned around and asked the villagers for help, but what she saw was that they twisted their heads and avoided them, she couldn't understand why people in a village were so ruthless, if the little girl was a foreigner, it would be forgivable if you didn't help, but the residents living in a village were still so indifferent. Just thinking about it, Lai Qiang suddenly rode on Li Tong's body, pinched her neck with one hand, and slapped her on the left and right sides of her face with the other hand.

The corners of Li Tong's mouth were bleeding, and the pain made her unable to raise her head, and she vaguely heard Lai Qiang say to solve the little girl in the dark room first, you can't escape, and the next one is you, she was also desperate, and watched Lai Qiang walk into the dark room motionlessly.

Soon after the door of the dark room was closed, Lai Qiang's obscene laughter came from inside, and the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets also sounded. Li Tong dragged the injured body to the door of the dark room, and the blood flowed all over the ground, at this time, a young man suddenly ran out of the villagers behind him, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, no matter how the man next to him stopped him, he crossed the crowd and came to Li Tong's side and helped her up.

Li Tong recognized this guy, is the only son of the Lin family in the east of the village, because his father Lao Lin loves to raise dogs and was laughed at by the villagers called Lin Lao Dog, this son was also Lin Puppy and Lin Puppy is used to barking, many people in the village are about to forget his original name, Li Tong is the same, I wanted to thank you, but I didn't think of what this guy was called for a while, just nodded and said thank you.

Lin Xiaopu is not very old, fifteen or sixteen years old, he looks tall and big, he is a good person, who has an urgent matter in the village, and anyone who knows or does not know can see him helping, but Lin Laogou's reputation is not good, in the early years, when he raised dogs, he did not cause trouble to the village, the group of big yellow dogs barked day and night, and did not leash the rope, some dogs with saliva on their mouths even bite when they see people, if it is not for Lin Laogou's sincere attitude, I am afraid that his status in the village is the same as that of Lai Qiang.

However, there is no comparison between the two, Lai Qiang lives alone, eats the last meal and does not have the next meal, and does not think about things as much as Lin Laogou, which is why the villagers are afraid of annoying this fierce and evil master.

Li Tong looked at the dark room worriedly, who didn't know that Lai Qiang was ruthless in doing things, she said that she was not afraid of being fake, but the little girl's eyes reminded her of her deceased sister, the only remaining bit of family affection overcame fear, she begged the guy in front of her to go in and save the girl out.

Lin Xiaogou, as one of the best men in the village, was naturally dissatisfied with this Lai Qiang for a long time, if it weren't for the fact that his father watched too closely on weekdays, he would have wanted to find an opportunity to beat this scourge. In the past, it was okay to make a small fuss, but now Lai Qiang actually wants to force a girl, which makes him unbearable, he always follows his father to listen to the commentary on weekdays, and the chivalrous pride of the rivers and lakes has long been imprinted in his heart, and the heroic feelings of punishing rape and eliminating evil affect his thoughts, and at the same time despise the indifferent villagers.

He didn't say anything, picked up a brick on the ground and walked to the door of the dark room, the kitchen knife and the brick were enough to balance the age gap between the two. Lin Xiaopu, who had bricks in his hand, imagined that he was a chivalrous man in Mr. Jin's novel, a strange hero who saved the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, and kicked open the secret door that was made of wooden planks with one foot. When I entered the dark room, I found that the space here was quite large, much larger than my bedroom, and when I turned around, I saw a picture that he would never forget for the rest of his life.
