Xiuxiu patted her head: "Look at me, look at me, I'm so stupid, why didn't I think they wouldn't come back to stay in the county for one night." ”

"Yes!" Xing Lie took Xiuxiu's hand, "Let's go, let's go home, they'll be back tomorrow." ”

"Well, go home!" Xiuxiu pulled Xing Lie and walked into the alley, but after taking a few steps, the expression on his face suddenly became very sad, "Xiao Lie, I know about Taozi, don't be sad." Now that he is gone, the living still live. ”

Xing Lie nodded: "Thank you, Sister Xiuxiu, I'm fine!"

"It's okay, it's okay!" Xiuxiu pulled Xing Lie away, chattering about some things in the village, complaining that Zhuzi and her mother-in-law had to take the child to the county and leave her at home alone.

The fat rat drove the car and followed behind, looking at Xiuxiu and sighing. Xing Lie killed Tian Hu back then, and sent Tian Hu's cousin and seven or eight cadres from the township, including the village chief and village director of Lingxi Village, to the execution ground, just because of this woman named Xiuxiu.

In fact, Xiuxiu used to be a very beautiful woman, and there was nothing in the whole town that she didn't know. Especially in relatively backward places, it is really not a good thing for women to be too beautiful. is the so-called red face and trouble, and her beauty has also brought her a lifetime of pain.

Xiuxiu was nineteen years old that year, and the village director of Lingxi Village at that time was called Liu Chuanjin, and this guy was a tyrant in the town. The reason why he can become the village director is that in addition to bribery, it is threats and intimidation.

Liu Chuanjin had the idea of Xiuxiu very early, but Xiuxiu was already engaged to Wang Haizhu at that time. It wasn't until later that Xiuxiu and Wang Haizhu got married and had children, and this guy didn't give up, and he never forgot Xiuxiu.

Later, the town wanted to re-divide the contracting responsibility field, which gave Liu Chuanjin a chance. Originally, Xiuxiu's family had more than 20 acres of land, but after the new division, only one and a half acres of land remained. Xiuxiu's parents were dumbfounded at that time and went to Liu Chuanjin for comment.

I have to say that Liu Chuanjin is still a bit brainy, he knows that Xiuxiu's father has a straightforward personality and a hot temper, and he verbally stimulated Xiuxiu's father to lose his mind and slapped him twice, and then Liu Chuanjin called the police, and Xiuxiu's father was taken away.

Then Liu Chuanjin coerced and induced Xiuxiu to divorce Wang Haizhu, Xiuxiu did not agree, and Xiuxiu's mother went to the gate of Liu Chuanjin's house one night with a pesticide bottle, and the body was not found until the next morning. Liu Chuanjin knew that the matter was too big to make trouble, so he didn't dare to make trouble, so he immediately notified the police station to release Xiuxiu's father. When Xiuxiu's father returned home, he learned that his wife had drunk pesticides, and then he also drank pesticides and went with his wife.

After such a big incident, Liu Chuanjin was still salivating for Xiuxiu, but at this time, he didn't have the courage to mess around again. Until five years ago, Liu Chuanjin met Tian Hu, on the eve of the Chinese New Year that year, Wang Haizhu and his mother took their children to the county to buy New Year's goods, and on the way back, there was an accident, and they were all hit and killed by a truck. And the one who sent the news was Liu Chuanjin, this guy took advantage of no one and frantically implemented ** on Xiuxiu, and then Xiuxiu became like this, talking and chatting are normal, but he just doesn't think that his husband, mother-in-law and children are dead, and he sits on the stone at the entrance of the alley every day and waits. This is five or six years, and I don't dress up for myself, I am disgraced and smelly. If it weren't for the care of the neighbors, each family took turns to bring her food and clean up the room, she would have died a long time ago.

Zheng Zhifu, who was the director of the Linghe Town Police Station at the time, also investigated, knowing that Liu Chuanjin did all this, but there was no evidence, and in the end he had no choice but to do it. And Xing Lie watched Sister Xiuxiu, who often took care of herself when she was a child and bought herself delicious food, become like this, how could she be indifferent. Then began to investigate the layout, and the next year Zheng Zhifu was transferred to the county, and in that year the storm began, Xing Lie also took action, personally killed Tian Hu, and then sent Liu Chuanjin and the moths in the town to the execution ground.

Xing Lie sent Xiuxiu home, and because neighbors often came to help clean up, the house looked cleaner. Then I was afraid that Xiuxiu would get sick in the rain, so I wanted to go to the shed outside to get some firewood and boil some water for her to take a bath, but Xiuxiu said that she wouldn't do anything. In the end, Xing Lie had no choice but to lay out the quilt piled on the kang for her to sleep.

Xiuxiu stripped herself naked, Xing Lie didn't have a taboo, took a towel to wipe her body clean, and then asked her to quickly get into the bed.

Xiuxiu wrapped herself in the quilt and smiled brightly at Xing Lie: "Xiao Lie, go back quickly." Wait for your pillar brother to come back tomorrow, and I'll fry two dishes for you and drink some more. ”

Xing Lie nodded, and said in a low voice: "Sleep, I'll leave when you fall asleep!"

Xiuxiu smiled again: "Okay!"

I don't know how long it took, Xiulian's breathing slowly became even, and she was already asleep, before Xing Lie stood up and walked out.

I don't know when the fat rat entered the outhouse, and was standing in front of the wooden door looking at the heavy rain outside: "Why did you come in?"

The fat rat said, "Come in and see, she's asleep?"

Xing Lie took out the cigarette and looked at it, but fortunately there was a layer of plastic wrapped in it outside that was not wet: "Asleep!" said and took out a cigarette and lit it, and took a deep breath.

The fat mouse sighed: "To tell you the truth, my life was also picked up because of her." ”

Xing Lie smiled slightly: "What you said makes sense, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have gone to find Tian Hu, and I wouldn't have met you, it is estimated that your grave is already growing grass now." ”

"You wait for me for a while!" said the fat rat and ran out, then opened the car door and took out a few thick stacks of bills in his bag, estimated to be forty and fifty thousand.

Xing Lie watched the fat rat come back with the money, and was really surprised: "You fat mouse, what's wrong, your conscience has found out?"

The fat rat handed the money to Xing Lie: "I have come to see her, but she is very wary of me, as soon as I get close to her, she will run and yell." I'm afraid that others will misunderstand, and I won't dare to come after that. ”

Xing Lie unceremoniously took the money: "I really didn't see it." ”

The fat mouse suddenly laughed: "Actually, it's because I know your relationship with her, so I ran over to see her, hoping to help her, and then you have to owe me a favor." You know, there aren't many opportunities that make you owe a favor. ”

Xing Lie also smiled, patted the fat rat on the shoulder, turned around and entered the house, put the money next to Xiuxiu's pillow, and then walked out again: "Let's go!"

The two of them got out of the house and got into the car parked outside, and the fat rat said: "She looks quite normal, and when she talks and talks, she doesn't look like a person who has been stimulated and has mental problems." ”

Xing Lie started the car, took a few puffs of the rained cigarette, opened his mouth, looked at the smoke slowly crawling out of his mouth, and said softly: "Actually, she understands it in her heart, but she just doesn't want to accept the reality." Especially when she knew that it was because of herself that her parents, husband, mother-in-law and children were killed. That's why she made herself a ghost, which is punishing herself. ”

The fat rat was stunned: "Then why don't you find her a psychiatrist? ”

Xing Lie shook his head: "If I tell you that I have been forced to study psychology since I was a child, do you believe that those experts are not as good as me?"

The fat rat nodded without hesitation: "I believe it!"

Xing Lie continued: "She is self-isolated, it is a self-conscious behavior, not caused by external stimulation, no psychological expert can do anything, she can only rely on herself, when she figured it out, she can only pass this hurdle." He took a puff of cigarette at the end, then opened the window and threw the cigarette out, "Wait for two years, if she is still like this, I will find a way, I can't live like this for the rest of my life." ”

Xing Lie's home is not far from Xiuxiu's home, that is, two or three hundred meters, Xing Lie parked the car and entered the yard. The shed is still there, but the body is gone. The whole courtyard seemed deserted, especially on stormy nights, and it was even more bleak and lonely.
