He took her hand and ran lifelessly, for a long time. Exhausted from running and sweating profusely.
But he never dared to stop running.
It was as if if you stopped, you would be brutally swallowed by the flood beast behind you.
High-rise buildings, woods and flower beds, all of them were left behind.
Until the girl behind him couldn't hold on any longer, and her weak body fell into his arms.
Wu Luo just woke up from a big dream.
He stared at Lingli, whose face was pale, his fingers trembled, and said nervously, "I'll take you to the hospital." β
Wu Luo couldn't help but say that he stretched out his hand to pick up Lingli horizontally, and when he held it in his arms, he was surprised to realize that Lingli was now so thin, and there was no flesh on his body, as if there was only a skeleton left, and when it was blown by the wind, it would be scattered to the ground.
Shattered like a glued porcelain doll.
Wu Luo felt a pain in his heart, stopped a taxi, and carefully put Lingli into the car. The movements were so soft that she seemed to be holding a fragile rare treasure, and she had to hold her breath even if she touched it lightly, for fear of disturbing her.
He sent her to the hospital for a full body examination, and the forensic doctor's identification of her was a perforated eardrum, a soft tissue contusion, and no traces of fractures.
During the examination, Wu Luo called and consulted with his family's private legal counsel, and according to Article 260 of the Criminal Law of our country, if a family member is abused, and the circumstances are heinous, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than two years, short-term detention, or controlled release. However, "aggravating circumstances" are defined as "serious injury or death", and the police cannot take coercive measures unless the person or his guardian initiates a lawsuit.
Wu Luo hung up the phone, walked into the ward, stood and asked Lingli: "Do you want to file a lawsuit?" β
The neat and miserable white chin is so thin that only one tip remains, and it looks very pitiful.
She was silent for a long time with her eyebrows down, and then shook her head.
Wu Luo frowned and sat on the hospital bed: "Why?" β
Lingli twisted her face to the side, and her voice was a little hoarse: "He is my father." β
"But sooner or later, you'll be beaten to death by your father." There was anger in Wu Luo's eyes.
Lingli didn't speak, the corners of his lips were tightly pursed as if they were glued, and his pale little face was full of stubbornness.
Wu Luo twisted his eyebrows and asked, "Then doesn't your mother care?" β
Lingli's red eyes were a little moist, and she lowered her eyes: "She is also a victim." β
Wu Luo stared at Lingli's miserable white and slender little face tightly, his eyes seemed to be on fire, he didn't know what he was angry about, he just felt that Lingli shouldn't be the cowardly look he was now: "Then you have to at least move out!" β
Lingli looked at him with red eyes, and his voice was hoarse: "Move out?" Where can you go if you move out? I want to go to school, I don't want to drop out of school, I dream of leaving that home after college! β
She looked at Wu Luo deadly: "But if you look at me now, can I still go back to study?" β
Clever shed tears, desperate and helpless like a lost child: "My classmates hate me and laugh at me constantly, they throw dead rats in my drawer and hit me with buckets!" Lingli cried hoarsely, "Can I still go back?" β
Wu Luo looked at the tears on her face, unable to speak, all the words were blocked in his throat and blocked in his heart.
A thousand words, and finally only one sentence was muted: "You move out, I will raise you!" β
Lingli was stunned for a moment, turned her face to the side, and clenched her pale fist: "You don't need to pretend!" β
Wu Luo stretched out his hand, hesitated a little, and finally gently put his hand on the neat hair, the warmth under his fingers made him tremble, he lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: "You are like this now, I am also responsible." β
Like is the joy at first sight, love is enduring.
The feeling of being tempting will one day be worn out by time.
"I'm not pretending, I'm just trying to atone for my sins." Wu Luo's voice was so light that it was almost inaudible.
Only guilt can make love last.
Wu Luo helped Lingli move out to live, and the two of them transferred to a new school together, and no one knew her, so they started from scratch.
Lingli's grades are very good, he has applied for grants and scholarships, but his living expenses are still lacking, Wu Luo always puts money into Lingli's account when he is most short of money, Lingli gritted his teeth and wrote an IOU: "I will definitely pay you back after I work!" β
Wu Luo looked at her and smiled, thinking that such a stubborn appearance was the clever person he knew.
Clever parents come to find Lingli, in the face of relatives, Lingli will always become extraordinarily weak, she can't face her mother's pleading voice, and her father's tears of guilt, Lingli red eyes and desperately shake her head, as if to shake off the cowardice in her mind.
"But Dad, I'm really scared, I don't dare to go back to that home, you let me go." She cried to her parents.
The clever father knelt in front of the clever one, hugged the clever legs, and cried so much that he cried all the time: "Dad knows it's wrong, Dad will never beat you again, can you go home with Dad?" You're still so young, you live outside alone, what if you're stalked by the bad guys? β
Tears flowed neatly, and he was about to speak, but was stopped by Wu Luo.
Wu Luo put his pockets in his pockets and looked at his parents coldly: "I will take care of Lili, so I won't bother you." β
"What are you? is also worthy of taking care of Lili, if it weren't for you, would Lili have left her previous school? The clever father stood up excitedly, with a hideous face, and was about to step forward to beat Wu Luo, but was hugged timidly by the clever mother, and the mother cried bitterly: "Don't you scare Li Li anymore, didn't you say that you won't beat people today?" You've beaten Lili so hard to go home, what do you want to do? β
"I'm Lili's boyfriend, so of course I deserve to take care of Lili." Wu Luo said nonchalantly.
"What?" Ling's father was shocked and asked Lingli, "Is this true?" β
Lingli was afraid of being taken home by her father, so she followed Wu Luo's words, she bit her lip and nodded: "He's my boyfriend." β
Father Ling looked at Lingli, then at Wu Luo, and finally didn't say anything, and left in despair.
Ling's mother sighed and touched her neat and cold little face: "My poor child, it's okay for you to be like this, since you have left this home, don't come back, you know?" Ling's mother shed tears, "Mom and Dad love you, but Dad sometimes can't control himself, don't blame him, okay?" What is missing, secretly call sΓΉ mother, mother sent it to you......"
Lili nodded desperately with tears in her eyes.
Wu Luo sent Lingli back to her rented house after school every day, and then rode home alone, never stepping a step over Lei Chi.
He claimed that Lingli was her girlfriend, but the two of them never even held hands, Wu Luo, who used to have no shortage of women around him, suddenly became clean and self-conscious, and even studied hard, but his grades were not as good as those of the top students.
Without the clouds of his father, his clever personality has gradually become cheerful.
She doesn't have to worry about seeing her drunk father when she comes home, she doesn't have to worry about when her father will lose his mind and beat her again, she doesn't have to worry about asking the teacher for sick leave to recuperate, and she doesn't have to worry about not being able to keep up with her schoolwork because of the leave. Wu Luo brought her a lot of scar removal medicine and asked her to put on the short skirt again, and she no longer had to worry that her classmates would see the horrific scars of her body and ask her about her poor past.
All of them are slowly getting better.
Wu Luo accompanied her to climb the mountain at night, and the two of them slept in two sleeping bags in the tent for the night.
"Lili, wake up, the sun is out!"
The boy who couldn't bear to wake her up and wanted her to sleep a little longer.
Just when the sun was about to show a thin orange line, it gently pushed her awake.
The morning mist carries a hint of chill.
At the end of the darkness, she finally saw the warm colors of the dawn.
Lingli opened her mouth in amazement: "It's really sunrise!" It's beautiful! β
The boy was also smiling on his face, but he didn't look at the sunrise, just turned his face sideways and quietly looked at Lingli.
The orange light of the morning sun reflected in her eyes, like the most beautiful scenery in the world, lit up the night sky, and also cast a spell on his heart, making his heart beat violently, and the whole world fell for it.
The devil sends God.
The boy secretly held the clever hand.
Lingli's eyelashes trembled, and her whole body froze, but she didn't withdraw her hand.
Both of them pretended that nothing had happened, quietly watching the sun slowly rise in the distance, illuminating the world.
But there is clearly something that ferments in each other's hearts and quietly changes.
In their throbbing chests.
In their eyes that are enough to burn the prairies.
Secretly changed.
Wu Luo always sends her all kinds of fresh fruits and milk, and any beauty supplements at home are also sent to Lingli here for the first time, the originally thin and slender Lingli was raised by Wu Luo for a year, and the whole person seems to be reborn.
If it is said that the previous cleverness is cold and dusty, it makes people yearn for it.
Then the current cleverness can be called glamorous, crystal beautiful.
Everyone who walked in front of her couldn't help but stop and look back.
Which class is that girl, she is really good-looking, her skin seems to glow, and her figure is also great......
And so there was trouble.
"Dude, our boss has taken a fancy to your daughter-in-law, I want to see her, you know each other a little, just go back by yourself first, I won't do anything to her, I just want to talk and understand ......"
A few ruffians from other colonels stopped Wu Luo and Lingli in the alley, they all had tattoos on their arms and smiled maliciously on their faces.
The expressions on their faces frightened Lingli, and she hid behind Wu Luo, her body trembling a little.
Wu Luo stood in front of her, raised his cold eyes, and had a bloody sneer on his face.
"Do you know who I am? You dare to stand in my way, and you're impatient, aren't you? β
"I don't care who the you are, today you are smart and clever, you can get out of the way, if you don't know each other, then you can't blame us for being polite." They took out the bright knives from their pockets and slid them lightly in their palms, threatening Wu Luo.
Lingli hurriedly held Wu Luo's arm, his face turned pale with fright, and his voice trembled: "Wu Luo, you go first, I'll leave with them, and you will secretly call the police...... Theyβthey're not going to ...... me like that," she was so nervous that her tongue was knotted.
Wu Luo threw the bicycle in his hand and made a screeching sound.
He hooked his lips and showed a bloodthirsty smile: "If you want to take Lili away, you can do it......" Wu Luo swung out a punch and smashed it on the other party's face, and the cold voice seemed to come from hell, "Walk over my corpse first!" β
She screamed and squatted on the ground, as if remembering her father's terrible beating, and the hot whip marks fell on her body, as if it was still yesterday, she trembled and kept shouting: "Don't beat me, don't beat me, Dad, please, don't beat me!" β
Later memories were in disarray.
When she came back to her senses, she saw Wu Luo covered in blood, lying in a pool of blood.
He was stabbed in the stomach, the scarlet blood was shocking, stabbed in the eyes of the clever girl, the clever was so frightened that her lips were bloodless, she threw herself in front of Wu Luo, her fingers trembled, she wanted to touch the wound, but she was afraid that the wound would be torn apart.
I was at a loss and didn't know what to do.
The hot tears kept flowing down, and the tear glands kept pouring down as if they were broken.
Wu Luo smiled at her weakly, his face as white as paper: "Don't be afraid, Lili...... I drove all the bad guys away...... You're safe now......" He gasped in pain, as if it hurt to the extreme, pulled the corners of his mouth, and still tried to smile at her, "Don't cry, when you cry, I hurt all over, it's really ......"
"It didn't hurt, but as soon as you cried, fuck, it all hurt......"
"Lili, don't cry, good ...... I promised you that I would protect your ......."
He nodded his head neatly, but the tears were like a flood that burst the embankment, and he couldn't stop it.
