Chapter 25: Broken Wings
Before telling the story, Xie Yuhan asked softly, "Yang Wentie, do you believe in fate?"
"I believe it. Most of the people in our village believe it. Tie Dan replied.
"I believe ...... too," Xie Yuhan looked up at the sky and said faintly.
"It's a story, for me! I hope it's just a story......" Xie Yuhan lowered his head and tossed the grass on the ground with his right hand.
There is an otherworldly dance actress named An Xiaoran in the Jindu Art Troupe, who is Xie Yuhan's mother. Back then, when An Xiaoran was popular all over Jindu, Xie Weihong was still a small clerk of the municipal government, Xie Weihong was an ambitious person, he was not willing to be mediocre, and he wanted to climb up all the time, every minute and every second, and hold the power in his hands.
He reacted strongly and hated words such as "this is An Xiaoran's husband" and "An Xiaoran is a well-known celebrity in Jindu", and he vowed that one day, he would let An Xiaoran's name be ranked behind him and become "This is the mayor's wife" and "This is Xie Weihong's woman".
Why, the sky is not beautiful, Xie Weihong has never seen the bright future. He began to give up on himself, broke the jar, drank all day long, borrowed wine to go crazy, beat and scolded his wife and children, at that time, he and An Xiaoran's daughter was just over a year old, and that little girl was Xie Yuhan.
An Xiaoran's performance tasks were heavy, and she was worried about the men and children in the family, which broke her heart. At that time, the governor often went to Jindu to inspect the work, and he coveted An Xiaoran's beauty, and from time to time motioned to the head of the art troupe to arrange a banquet for An Xiaoran to accompany him. An Xiaoran defended him everywhere, but he didn't think about it, but he still couldn't escape from his clutches, and they put sleeping pills in the wine.
An Xiaoran woke up and found himself lying naked on the bed in the hotel, full of grief and anger, crying: "You are all beasts, I am going to sue you!"
"Sue me, think about it! It's not just me who has ruined your reputation, it's you!" said the governor casually.
An Xiaoran was grief-stricken, gritted her teeth and said, "Even if I am ruined, I will sue!"
"You'd better think again...... It doesn't matter if you're ruined, what about your lover and children? Can they forgive you and accept you, will they believe that you didn't do it voluntarily?" the governor smirked.
Hearing this, An Xiaoran was stunned, the governor held her chin with one hand, and said coldly: "I'll show you a clear way." You just act as if today's incident has never happened, and I will ensure that your man has a good career and a fish leaping into the dragon gate! Don't worry, you think slowly. ”
An Xiaoran hid her face and cried, crying bitterly, she loved Xie Weihong and their daughter. Destruction and fulfillment, only in her thoughts, after a fierce ideological struggle, she finally sacrificed herself in exchange for Xie Weihong's bright future.
After she made her choice, she was worthless in the eyes of the governor. He shamelessly pressed her on the bed again, and he said, "I just got a dead man, now enjoy the life!"
An Xiaoran bit her lip tightly and let him ravage, tears of humiliation wet a large sheet of bedsheets. An Xiaoran wandered by the river in a daze, she wanted to die, but she really couldn't leave her young child, in the end, she forced a smile and returned home, pretending to maintain her daily life, her heart was dead, but she still had to pretend.
Xie Weihong was soon transferred to the municipal party secretariat, and a year later, he was promoted to deputy mayor. Xie Weihong was promoted, so he no longer took An Xiaoran in his eyes, he spent all day drinking outside in the name of entertainment, but he loved his daughter Xie Yuhan very much. Xie Weihong's actions were like torture, as if he was cutting An Xiaoran's flesh off her body with a knife at first, at first, she still knew the pain, but after a long time, she became insensitive, and she no longer felt it.
The governor used to blackmail her, and after playing with her a few times, he lost interest in her, and she was thrown aside by him and Xie Weihong like garbage. The only thing that gave her the courage to continue living was her beautiful, lovely daughter, and the dance she regarded as life.
Xie Weihong no longer regards her as his wife, but as a tool for venting, when he is sober, he does not touch her, and when he sees her, he shows his disgust unabashedly; sometimes, when he returns home drunk, he will forcibly have sex with her, whether she wants to or not, whether the child is asleep or not.
Xie Weihong finally became the mayor, and he sat in front of the camera with dignity, facing thousands of households. While people praised the handsome mayor for his youth and promisingness, no one knew that his family was already in shambles.
An Xiaoran was unexpectedly pregnant, and when she told Xie Weihong the news, what she received was no longer the ecstasy when she heard that she was pregnant with her daughter, but an unbearable insult and merciless punches and kicks.
They had a big quarrel, and Xie Weihong scolded her: "You are a ****! Don't think that I don't know about the ugly things you did behind my back and those men, I just don't care......"
An Xiaoran sat paralyzed on the ground, demented and expressionless, Xie Yuhan hid in the corner and wept, not daring to make any sound.
Xie Weihong paced back and forth, and continued to scold: "Don't think that you have a bit of a look, just swagger outside all day long, artist...... Bullshit, in the past, you're a joke...... Sluts who laugh and sleep with ......"
An Xiaoran didn't say a word, she had been tortured by him so much that she couldn't shed a single tear. Xie Weihong went to bed alone after going crazy, Xie Yuhan ran to his mother lightly, hugged her with her weak arms, and her tears poured out at once.
There is a performance in the city, An Xiaoran is a pillar, even if there is all kinds of suffering, An Xiaoran will not abandon her favorite dance, she entered the dressing room early, carefully dressed, the dance she performed today is called "Eagle Wings", which is her work for many years.
An Xiaoran interprets a poignant story on stage, and her dance is fascinating, sometimes passionate, sometimes sad, sometimes lingering, sometimes unrestrained......
At the moment when she jumped up and spread her wings to fly, drops of blood were sprinkled on the stage, and An Xiaoran fell heavily on the ground of the stage, and her wings were broken. The blood on the stage merged into a bright red river, and Xie Yuhan cried under the stage: "Mom...... Mommy ......"
An Xiaoran died, dying of accidental miscarriage and hemorrhage, and no one suspected that someone had put an abortion pill in her water, which was not an accident, it was a deliberate murder.
That year, Xie Yuhan was five years old. Adults think that children have no memory at this stage, but they are wrong, Xie Yuhan firmly remembers the quarrel that night, and the red blood on the stage......
Xie Yuhan, like her mother An Xiaoran, is very talented in dancing, and her father Xie Weihong never sent her to dance training, but she can choreograph her own dance to the music and entertain herself. When she was in the first grade, she hid in the corner on a whim and danced for a while, and was seen by the teacher, who contacted Xie Weihong to come to school and told him excitedly: "Mayor Xie, your Yuhan is very talented in dancing and has a lot of skills, can you see if you can cultivate it in this area?"
"No need, the student's first task is to study, forget the rest! Thank you for your concern for Yuhan!" Xie Weihong calmly rejected the teacher's kindness, the teacher is not good to insist anymore, he just thinks that this is a good seedling, but it is a pity. If she can train her, she will become a successful and well-known dancer like her mother in the future.
After returning home, Xie Weihong called Xie Yuhan to him, asked her to stand upright, and said, "Yuhan, listen to Dad, don't dance again in the future!"
"No...... No, no...... I want to dance, I like to dance! I want to ...... like my mother," Xie Yuhan muttered.
Suddenly, a nameless fire jumped from Xie Weihong's heart, he raised his hand and slapped Xie Yuhan, and said viciously: "You are not allowed to dance in the future, if you dance again, I will break your legs......"
Xie Yuhan covered the five finger prints on his face, and cried bitterly. Xie Weihong pulled her over and hugged her in his arms, removed his little hand, stroked her red and swollen cheeks, and asked softly, "Tell Dad, will you still dance in the future?"
"Daddy...... Father...... I...... I won't jump......" Xie Yuhan said intermittently, sobbing constantly.
From then on, she remembered that her father forbade her to dance, just as she remembered quarrels and blood, and she dimly understood that her mother's wings were broken, and her wings were broken!
For many years, Xie Weihong has always taken good care of his daughter Xie Yuhan, but since he became sensible, Xie Yuhan has rejected him very much, she hates him, and he is the culprit who broke her mother and her own wings! She doesn't want to be his daughter, if she can......
At this point in the story, Xie Yuhan was already in tears, she looked up at Tie Dan, and his eyes were also shining with tears. They just stared at each other and let the tears flow......
