Chapter 6: Bursting Souls
Yes, he doesn't want to live like this, he just wants to spend high school in peace like everyone else, enter college, and then find a good job, marry a wife and have children, and live an ordinary life.
But even though it was just that, it became so difficult, he didn't know what he should do.
"Nothing? Aren't you like that now? No dignity, not even a dog. ”
The voice mocked mercilessly: "A few years ago, you couldn't stop that girl from falling off the cliff, and today you still didn't do anything when Wang Ze fell from the building, what are you going to do tomorrow when our mother is killed? Don't be stupid, I have the same body as you, but I have the part of the memory that you chose to forget, do you remember how you left that mountain village? I remember it very clearly!"
"You, what are you talking about, what do you mean?" Xia Lian realized something, his tone suddenly became tense, no, he hadn't completely forgotten some scattered fragments of his today: the night of lightning and thunder, the old earthen house, his own painful and crazy roar, the rusty sickle, the blood that stained the ground red......
"No, I don't mean anything else!" the voice interrupted his painful recollection, "I won't allow you to become a coward, if you don't dare, let me help you." ”
"Help me? How can you help? According to you, you're just in my head. Xia Lian asked a little confused.
"Just let me out, preferably just tomorrow morning before class, and then you just have to relax and be free from resistance or fear, or, think about the things that make you angry! You know what? If you hadn't consciously suppressed your anger at the back door of school today, I would have been in complete control of the situation, and you wouldn't have been hurt at all. With that, the voice disappeared.
"Xiao Lian, why have you been in there for so long?
"It's going to be right away!" Xia Lian replied casually, patting his head lightly: "Hey, are you still there?" The voice didn't respond. Xia Lian looked at himself who was a little dazed in the mirror, and walked under the shower head mechanically.
The warm splash of water caressed every inch of his skin, like a pair of gentle little hands gently massaging him, repairing all the wounds.
While his whole body was relaxed, he was still thinking, was that voice really himself, why was he able to talk to me, why did he speak out to help me, and most importantly, would it really come out and control my body, as he said?
At the same time, Xia Lian's mother fell into insomnia again, and after her son returned to her own life, she gained a brief joy, and then ushered in more problems.
Will the sequelae of her son's sequelae said by the doctor affect his postmenstrual life, how can he completely return to normal, and whether her Weibo salary can support her son's studies and life in the future...... All kinds of problems suddenly came flooding on this day.
She still clearly remembers the heart-rending pain and almost collapsed despair when her husband's bad news and the news of her son's disappearance hit almost at the same time, even if ten years have passed, that feeling is still fresh in her memory, at that time she could hardly live alone, she has enjoyed life as Mrs. Kuo for many years, she has no skills at all, and she can't even find an ordinary job, plus her husband's company is losing money, and suspected of commercial crimes, the family has spent almost any savings, and even owes hundreds of thousands of high arrears, and her husband's former friends have cut off contact with her like hiding from the plague god。
Helpless, she still relied on her husband's former subordinate Liu Changsheng to find a decent job for her, and even helped her repay her husband's debts. Let her live alone and continue to search for her son's whereabouts.
But today, Liu Changsheng suddenly confessed to her. From the time she met this man, she had always treated him as a younger brother, and, until now, she still thought about her husband and could not accept anyone anymore.
In order to completely reject Liu Changsheng and not want to owe him anything more, she decided to return the money that Liu Changsheng helped her repay to him. But with her own income and her son's expenses now, she doesn't know how many years it will take her to pay it off.
Thinking of this question, she even had the idea of accepting Liu Changsheng to relieve the pressure on her and her son's life, but a trace of reason still made her dispel this idea.
At night, the shining lights add a new charm to the city, which is the moment when the nightlife has just begun, the contrast between the busyness of the day and the madness of the night, telling the prosperity of Yuzhou City and the deep hope of the people.
Palatial star hotel. A Sven man in his thirties, holding a young curly-haired girl with a xing-sense-beauty, figure-fire-la, turned over the clouds and rained in front of the wide floor-to-ceiling window, and the woman whose clothes had been pulled to the waist was pressed against the window by the man's bloated body, while emitting a shy, enjoyable, longing and a little painful shen-yin, while unconsciously opening his arms, as if he wanted to embrace the brilliant night.
This made the man jerk his body more excitedly and quickly, and his originally delicate and sven facial features had been twisted into a ball of excitement at this moment, as if he was engaged in a fierce struggle.
At this moment, the phone on the bedside table rang, he glanced at it impatiently, and after reluctantly continuing to twitch a few times, he stopped moving, pushed the girl who was not neatly dressed, grabbed the phone and yelled angrily: "You T-M can't tell the time, what's the matter?"
"Oh, Mr. Sun, I'm sorry to disturb you. Chen Zhantian of Zhongyi Group wants you to go to the gym to talk about the land repossession, and it is said that there are unexpected situations that need to be discussed with you in detail. The person on the other end of the line hurriedly explained, obviously with some trepidation.
"Isn't that already negotiated last week?That bastard isn't trying to find an excuse to raise the price, I'm not going to eat his set, don't think I'm afraid of him because I've taken a knife before, and I'll be afraid of him after a few days!" the man said angrily, and lit a cigar and took two puffs.
His name is Sun Jianming, he is the eldest son of Sun Yaohui, a real estate developer in Yuzhou City, he grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth, everything goes smoothly, and there will never be any accidents that are harmful to him, this is also the first big deal since he started business, of course he will not tolerate any mistakes.
"Mr. Sun, he didn't want to add money, he, he said ......"
"What does he say, don't ramble. Sun Jianming roared.
He said that the land in Jiupanshan is a slum, and most of the people living in it are old and weak, women and children, and there is no income, and if they insist on repossessing the land, they will either pay enough money to those people, or they will ......
"--, a Hun Dao is still talking about compassion and morality? To put it so nicely, T-M just wants to take the opportunity to add money, who knows if he ate the money in a blink of an eye?!" Sun Jianming even scolded: "Tell that old bastard, the money is what was negotiated before, love to do it or not!" After speaking, he slammed the phone against the wall.
"What's wrong dear?" The girl who hadn't dressed up before she pounced on her like a docile kitten, just trying to comfort Sun Jianming who was on the rise, but Sun Jianming didn't give her a chance to speak at all, and rudely pressed her on the table again, continuing the strong-rough-reckless "attack" action just now.
The next morning, the sunlight that had just been detected added a touch of warmth to the city in early winter. Xia Lian woke up from the nightmare again, and this time in the dream, in addition to the images of being beaten, the picture of the little girl falling off the cliff also began to appear repeatedly.
The first awakening from the nightmare still dispelled all his sleepiness, and he was still the first to hit the school as usual, but today he did not choose to go to the classroom, but was in a daze in the small garden of the school.
An inexplicable nervous emotion accumulated in Xia Lian's heart, and he didn't know if it was because he was used to patience, he even began to be afraid of resisting. Or maybe he wasn't sure if the voice would actually be what he said it would be.
Time flies, and more and more students are entering the school building one after another. It wasn't until there were still five minutes left to start the morning self-study that Xia Lian took a deep breath and walked quickly to the teaching building.
The noise that reached the stairwell was enough to show that the students in the class had basically arrived at this time, Xia Lian stopped, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as the voice said last night, let go of all resistance and patience, and thought about the things that had made him angry. In fact, the main reason that drove him to do this today was not the desire to ask for help, but the curiosity.
I closed my eyes, and the images in my mind flashed again, and after a brief violent beating of my heart, I was exchanged for a rare calm.
When he opened his eyes again, he felt that everything around him had become a little distant, as if he had become a spectator, even his body seemed to be out of control, the only surprise was that a full force gathered in every corner of his body, it was a great feeling, it was also very safe, and the breathing and touch did not diminish because of this.
But what he didn't know was that his eyes became sharp and cold at this moment, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a hint of nonchalant ruffian-smile.
With a bang, he pushed the classroom door open, and in the face of the surprised eyes of everyone in the classroom, he calmly strode into the classroom.
Almost all the students felt that today's Xia Lian was different from the past, but no one could say which point it was. It's just not as cautious as before, more ruthless and free-spirited.
"Who the do I think it is, it's you stinky-stupid-X!" Huang Qiang scolded provocatively: "What kind of cool are you T-M pretending!"
Xia Lian raised his hand unhurriedly, took the book very easily and accurately, and walked in front of Huang Qiang and the others without slowing down, looking at Huang Qiang with a somewhat dazed and overwhelmed expression in a condescending manner.
With a snap, Xia Lian slapped the book heavily on Huang Qiang's desk, and Huang Qiang and Li Hang and the others around him immediately stood up vigilantly.
"What the do you want?"
Xia Lian laughed lightly and said lightly, "What are you nervous about, afraid that I will hit you like yesterday?"
"I'm grass your mother!" In the face of Xia Lian's red-luo-luo ridicule, he thought of his deflated last night, and scolded and swung his fist.
But his movements were not fast, and when the two were so close, he even chose to charge his punches, which slowed down the speed of his attack. Xia Lian snorted coldly, picked up the book on the table and slapped it on his immature and fair face.
A crisp sound that resounded throughout the classroom made everyone in the class look surprised, and some even showed happy expressions, only to quickly press them back.
In the class, Huang Qiang is a well-deserved boss, no one dares to provoke him, many people will avoid them even when walking, let alone slap him in the middle, which can definitely be said to be a sign of impatience.
Before Huang Qiang could recover from this sudden clear and crisp slap, Xia Lian's other hand had quickly stretched out, pinched the back of Huang Qiang's neck, and pressed his entire head on the desk.
There was another muffled bang, and this time even Li Hang and the others gasped. In the eyes of everyone, Xia Lian's movements were so fast that they almost didn't see the movements clearly, and Huang Qiang's whole person was already pressed against the desk, letting out a whining shen-yin.
"Do you want to go together?" Xia Lian coldly glanced at Li Hang and the others around Huang Qiang, his sharp eyes made them instinctively retract their steps forward, and when they wanted to pick up the steel rod on the bench or in their schoolbag again, Xia Lian had already taken out a pen from Huang Qiang's stationery box and was facing the back of Huang Qiang's neck socket.
"This position should be the brain stem, if this pen is pierced into it, do you guess he can hold on for ten seconds?" When he said this, Xia Lian showed a strange smile, which made people shudder.
"You, what do you want to do? This is at school!" Li Hang said a little nervously.
"Do you still know that this is at school? Then why didn't you think about it when you pushed Wang Ze downstairs?"
"It was an accident, who made him suddenly rush up and go crazy!" Perhaps because of nervousness, Li Hang burst out of his mouth and said this sentence, everyone in the classroom should have understood the meaning behind this sentence, and some people began to whisper.
"Xia Lian, Lao Tzu is not finished with you, you wronged me in the police, and now you have wronged me as the whole class, you have the ability to kill me now, otherwise I will definitely find someone to kill you!"
Huang Qiang, who was still pressed on the desk, scolded extremely unconvinced, as if he could cut Xia Lian to death if he was given a knife immediately, full of deep hatred.
"Provoke me, okay!" Xia Lian smiled slightly, the hand holding the pen slowly pressed downward, and as the tip of his nose pierced into the skin, a sharp pain like a pinprick quickly spread throughout Huang Qiang's body.
"Okay, good, you won, this time I admit it!" The severe pain forced Huang Qiang to immediately say softly, but the tone was clearly just convincing.
"Do you think I'm really going to stab in?" hahaha......" Xia Lian smiled and let Huang Qiang go. Huang Qiang immediately touched the back of his neck socket, and immediately stood up angrily after finding that there was only a shallow groove and no bleeding. But this time, he didn't make another move, but glared at Xia Lian deadly.
"I know you're not convinced, but I'm telling you, many people have been forced to experience this feeling of being bullied, so don't act like you're innocent. ”
Xia Lian poked Huang Qiang's chest with his fingers, and said with a sudden serious expression: "I don't know why you will clear up the matter of Wang Ze's fall from the building, but from now on, don't be pretentious in front of me, otherwise it won't be so simple next time." ”
"Hmph! you're very dragged, aren't you? Huang Qiang pretended to be vicious and asked rhetorically, but at this moment, his aura had been completely overshadowed by Xia Lian, and he was just using this way to save his face.
Xia Lian smiled easily and said, "I don't want to repeat it a second time. The second request is to go to the hospital in person to apologize to Wang Ze! Don't let me force you!" After speaking, he turned around and returned to his seat.
Anyone can see that Xia Lian is the absolute winner in this farce, Huang Qiang sat back in anger and sat back in anger, staring at Xia Lian's back while constantly touching the back of his neck, as if he was seriously injured.
When Xia Lian sat back in his seat, his tablemate, who had always disliked him incomparably, did not move his position for the first time. Xia Lian glanced at her and found that she was looking at him with an appreciative look, Xia Lian glanced at his mouth, opened the book and read it himself.
Soon, the class bell rang and the teacher walked into the classroom.
