Chapter Twenty-Three: Xie Min's Extras "The Long Cry of the White Deer" (II)
If I had known that something would have happened on that trip, I would not have let her go. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The child has had a hard time in the past few years, so he told me that he wanted to go out to play, and I raised my hands to agree, and I also gave her my bonus for this month. I thought she must have a companion with her, but I thought that she was used to being independent, and she didn't have any real friends, so she went alone.
……
On the fifth day after Tong Sheng's disappearance, I returned home from work and called the police, but I still received an apologetic reply: "We are still investigating." Sister Xie, think about it again, is it possible for the child to go somewhere else to play without telling you? Or is there no signal that there is no money on you? ”
"Nope! No, it won't! I almost yelled, "She's going to call me, she's not going to be so unreasonable." Something must have happened to the child, and she must be found! Find her! ”
However, I couldn't find it.
The police said there was evidence that she stayed in the ancient city for a few days before going to a neighboring county.
And then disappeared.
Someone had seen her, but no one had seen where she had gone.
My Tong Sheng, like a drop of rain falling on the ground, just evaporated and disappeared.
But she's the only water I'm having.
……
I quit my job and sold my house. With all my savings, I started looking.
I searched every corner of that county. No, I can't find it.
I looked there for a year, and the money was almost spent.
Then I came to the ancient city.
One day, I was staying in a hostel, and when I looked at myself in the mirror, I suddenly woke up from a big dream.
Is that me?
I used to be a teacher, and the most I did was housework. On my birthday the year before, Tong Sheng praised me, saying that my mother was so beautiful, young, and white-skinned. Just like my sister. Although this kid's words are exaggerated, I already have a few gray hairs. But where is it in the mirror now?
The complexion is no longer fair and tanned. The fingers are thick and dirty, and the hair is gray. I used to be unable to kill a chicken, so I had to rely on Tong to give birth to her father. Now I can carry a sack with one hand, just to change a lunch before dinner, and then continue to look for Tong Sheng when I am full.
That night, I was a little uncomfortable.
I thought, if I find Tong Sheng, she can't recognize her mother, what should I do?
I also reported to the police that QQ number, but later the police told me that after investigation, the incident of Tong Sheng's disappearance, the boy was in a university class, and there was sufficient alibi evidence, and it had nothing to do with this case. I tried to get the boy's contact information, but the police refused.
I knew I had to find a job, or I wouldn't be able to get it. A sister-in-law who worked with me said to me, "If you want to make more money, you can go to Yao's house." The salary given by her family is high, but ...... The work is not done by people. ”
"I said that the people of the Yao family are not people, a man, marry 5 wives." Another eldest brother said, "I heard that two years ago, I also found a female college student who wanted to be a child." Later, the girl didn't see her, saying that she had run away. ”
I didn't care about it at first, but the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, and I chased after the big brother and asked about the girl's appearance and age, but he didn't know much more at all.
I stood at the gate of the Yao family's compound and thought carefully little by little.
Tong Sheng's disappearance went to Linxian, but he couldn't find any trace.
Female college students from previous years.
A man, a man with a fortune of nearly half a hundred years old, married 5 wives, and is not satisfied.
They didn't seem to have anything to do with Tong Sheng, but I seemed to be driven by a strange and strong premonition and walked towards Yao's house.
I knocked on the door and walked in.
……
He slept in the room of the eldest wife, Minglan for a week, or three days.
No one ever mentioned the name "Tong Sheng".
Only one old maid can approach his and Minglan room, not the rest of us.
When he sees a young and beautiful girl, he always takes a second look. Next year he can be their father.
……
Zhao Xia is different from them, she is always silent, always sad, and never beats me. Once, I mentioned to her as if unintentionally: "I heard that Mr. Yao used to plan to marry a female college student, why didn't he see him later?" Her expression was indescribable. She turned her head away, didn't answer, and didn't look at me.
My heart seemed to have been hit hard by a stone hammer, and I almost couldn't bear it, so I wanted to ask her, is it Tong Sheng? Isn't it?
But I looked at the huge courtyard, and I couldn't help it. I don't have any evidence, the Yao family is rich and powerful. I have to be patient. Until the day I couldn't bear it anymore.
I said to myself many times a day: I will definitely find Tong Sheng.
I think I'm getting a little bit closer to the truth.
Later, I figured it out, it doesn't matter if there is no evidence, as long as I can be sure that Tong Sheng was indeed killed by them, I will kill Yao Yuange and kill all of them. What does it matter, their lives are fate, and Tong Sheng is not fate?
Later, I slowly got used to waiting. is used to the beating and scolding of the Yao family, and is used to living like this. I don't live like a person anymore, but only in this way, only when I still have doubts and cruelty in my heart about them, can I still live like a person.
The world is so big, I can't find Tong Sheng anywhere, and I have nowhere to go.
……
It was a light rainy morning, and I was cleaning at the front desk of the inn when I heard a young man walk in.
"Hello, a double room." The man smiled and said to the front desk lady.
I kept my head down and continued to sweep the floor. Nowadays, I like to do repetitive mechanical cleaning work. Watching the ground get cleaner little by little, I felt a strange thrill in my heart.
"Are you a college student? Working here? The man said.
The front desk lady smiled and said no.
"Looks like a student." The man said, "This is my QQ number: 5643xxx321, add it." ”
My hand froze.
Looking up, I saw his face.
He was aware of my gaze, and when he looked at me, he looked away without care.
That night I sat for a long time in the cramped, dark maid's room. I watched the drizzle falling from the sky, watched the wind blow through the window and the sheets beside me, as if someone was accompanying me. It dawned on me that everything was a matter of fate. It turns and turns, it gives me despair, but it also gives me hope.
Tong Sheng, I know, it's you who came.
You're saying, Mom, don't wait, do it.
-- End of the first volume of "Herbivorous Living" --
The author says two words.
1. Before, a sister asked if the inspiration was the movie "The Red Lantern Hangs High", no. The source of inspiration is reality. About a few years ago, I went to a famous tourist city in the south, and it is inconvenient to say which city it is, so as not to attract darkness to the city. Friends entertained us. He also has a lot of connections in the local area, pointing to a nearby building and saying: "The owner of that house has married six wives, one has a marriage certificate, and the others live in this building." "It's the first time in my life that I've seen someone do this in reality, and I've always kept it in my mind. And a few days ago, some readers mentioned in the book review area that they really have such a family over there. Breathtaking, there is no need to go into details. In addition, the "Male Imprisonment *** Case" and "Pregnant Wife Helping Her Husband Abduct College *** Murder Case" that were discovered in China for a period of time are also one of the inspirations for this volume. So I didn't deliberately amplify the darkness or scandalize human nature, the story is brand new, but what the author has to do is find out from life.
In fact, the CS case that wrote "Beauty is the Stuffing" is also, and my inspiration is actually the many coal mine murder and insurance fraud cases that occurred back then, that is, deceiving people to work in coal mines and then killing and smashing their faces, and then defrauding the mine of compensation. Moreover, it is also a gang of villagers in the whole village who commits the crime, and the division of labor is clear...... Many readers should have heard of it. In my pen, it became a CS case. The book looks completely different from the real case, but when I finished writing about it, a reader actually left a message saying that it reminded her of the "blind well" case. I was relieved that my purpose had been achieved.
2. Yesterday, several readers raised that there were still a few places that were not carefully explained, mainly 1) Yao Yuange's metamorphosis process was not explained; 2) Why did Minglan help Yao Yuange, and whether she was also perverted; 3) The process of Zhao Xia's death. Originally, I didn't plan to write about these things, but for your questions, I deliberately thought about it for half an hour, and also went to discuss it with a friend in writing, and finally we came to the conclusion that we still don't write. There are two reasons for this: first, this is a novel after all, and it is a women's novel, not non-fiction, nor a criminal file. Novels should have emphasis, regrets, and trade-offs in pen and ink. Second, I didn't write them separately, but that doesn't mean I didn't get them along the way. Especially with the vision of several protagonists, the answers to these questions are more or less clicked. Even if I don't write a separate chapter now, do you really not know the answers to the above three questions? No, if you think about it, you know it. There have been many times in the book review area with readers with strong writing ability who have analyzed these points, and the analysis is very in-depth and reasonable, even more thorough and profound than Lao Mo. Isn't that what my writing should be? What more do I need to write?
Okay, having said all this, it seems a little too serious and decent, and it's all because you asked, so I explained it. A few days ago, a reader said that the book seemed closer to publishing literature and might not please online readers. Lao Mo also felt very worried. But what kind of writing is sometimes impossible for the author. Because it's "Closed Eyes 2", not 1. However, in the next "Repairman", I want to try to wave up again, and it must be a special wave!!
I'm going to enter the second volume tomorrow.,The second volume feels like it's going to be a little more cute than the first volume.,Hehe.,See you tomorrow~.
