CHAPTER XXXVII
Tian Donkey didn't expect the fantasy to become a reality so quickly, the trembling hands were as difficult to calm down as the excitement, and it could even be said that everything just now happened too fast, so that he couldn't believe it, but he did escape, he subconsciously turned his head to look at the bathhouse that he abandoned behind him, there was no movement, but he believed that Sister Ling would definitely chase after him, so he fled like crazy.

Escape, escape, aimlessly run away in this still strange city, although he is still a penniless poor guy, but at least, he escaped the clutches of Sister Ling, he is really free.
But after the brief excitement brought to him by this freedom, there was endless emptiness, confusion and overwhelm, and the donkey wandered for a long time, with nowhere to go. Being penniless makes it difficult for him to move an inch in this civilized society, and he is still the shackles of poverty! Thinking of this made him angry, so much so that he finally decided to go to Sister Ling to seek justice. This is not crazy talk, let alone a whim, but the most urgent thought in the heart of the hungry and faltering donkey at this moment. Because Sister Ling is still holding her salary for so many days, even if she wants to leave, she must have money to pave her future life path, and blindly running away makes his life feel tired, very tired. Escaping from the city back to the Grange, and from the Grange to another city, this kind of life trajectory seems to be a strange circle, a strange circle that the donkey cannot really escape.
"Why? Why am I running away? ā
Tian Donkey asked himself, he didn't do anything wrong, let alone commit a heinous crime, why did he run away? Think about it carefully, the relationship between him and Sister Ling is a relationship of hiring and being employed, a relationship between landlord and tenant, upright and innocent, why should Sister Ling control and manipulate her life?
"Why? Why is my life like this? ā
After thinking about it, Tian Donkey found more questions, which were doubts about life. Why am I always adrift, why can't my tired life take root? Why can't you stop? Why can't you stop? I'm afraid that if I think about it any longer, Tian Donkey will become an out-and-out philosopher, but fortunately, Tian Donkey has no culture, and his empty stomach is howling, and hunger has made him dizzy, and he doesn't have much strength to think, and gradually, he began to babble.
"No, it can't be like this, it can't be like this, it shouldn't be like this......"
Look, the incompetent Tian Donkey is planning to reconcile with life again. He even began to miss the dinner that Sister Ling cooked, and the warm bed in Sister Ling's house, but fortunately, he still had the last trace of anger, which was also the last power that dominated his reason.
No, there has to be a change, there has to be a return to wages and justice. Thinking like this, Tian Donkey finally sorted out his clue and also wanted to understand a truth, that is, in his life, if he didn't stand up, then he could only kneel, and this time, Tian Donkey planned to stand up and live a human life in a dignified manner! Moreover, he still holds Sister Ling's handle in his hand, which is the trump card for victory, and it is also the greatest courage to support him to return to Sister Ling's house. If Sister Ling still doesn't settle her salary, then he will call the police, uncover the secret of this bathhouse, and make Sister Ling pay the price for her filthy behavior and dark and sick psychology, and finally receive the punishment she deserves! Thinking of this, Tian Donkey'er snorted coldly in his nose, full of confidence, and walked towards Sister Ling's house with his chest up.
When Tian Donkey returned to Sister Ling's house, it was already late at night, and he was worried that if he quarreled with Sister Ling in the bright night, it would attract onlookers, which would be bad for Sister Ling and himself, at least, he didn't want to completely disclose the secret between him and Sister Ling, he just wanted to use this secret to get back his salary. So in the dead of night, he sneaked back home and tiptoed open the door of Sister Ling's house.
However, everything is too strange, it seems that everything is unreasonable, because Sister Ling cannot be negligent, she will lock the door inside and outside before going to bed every day, and at this moment Tian Donkey easily pushed open the door is really unreasonable, and everything around is quiet and silent, and even, Tian Donkey can hear his heartbeat and breathing in the dark.
"Sister Ling......"
Tian Donkey whispered Sister Ling's name, but no one answered.
Strange, isn't she at home?
No, no, no, soon, Tian Donkey self-denied this assumption, because it is impossible for Sister Ling not to be at home, because as far as she knows, Sister Ling hates going out at night very much, not because Sister Ling will worry about robbing money or anything when she goes out at night, but because Sister Ling is afraid of the dark, for her, all those who are obsessed with the magic of the night and go crazy are lonely ghosts in the dark, Sister Ling will not be with them, and the only thing that accompanies her against the darkness at night is her dog and the lamp that is always on all night.
Hey, what about the dog? Why isn't it heard?
Although, Tian Donkey really hates Sister Ling's dog, hates dog hair, dog shit, dog urine and the dog tongue that likes to lick around on people's faces, but because of Sister Ling's strong power, Tian Donkey can only endure the dog's bullying and ignore its barking, but remembering that it has peed wantonly on his mattress, it still makes him angry. However, this can only be regarded as unexpected anger, Tian Donkey can only suppress it, and basically live in peace with the dog, but tonight, why didn't it bark at all?
Tian Donkey cautiously came to the second floor, for fear of alarming Sister Ling or Sister Ling's dog, so she gently approached Sister Ling's house, put her ear on the crack of the door and listened carefully to the movement in the house, but she couldn't hear anything. On weekdays, Sister Ling's thunderous snoring disappeared eerily, and so did the dog.
"Is it ......?"
Tian Donkey suddenly remembered that when he fled at that time, Sister Ling was lying in the bathhouse, at this moment, is she still lying in the bathhouse?
"No, no, no, it can't ......"
Tian Donkey felt that it was impossible, because even if Sister Ling who fell down was obese, she would not be able to get up, and the door he closed from the outside, as long as Sister Ling got up, it was easy to open. The wooden door of the bathhouse has rotted after years of water vapor infiltration, and the door is also loose, and a few hard pushes can shake the door off, or, no matter how bad it is, Sister Ling can kick open the door with her thick and sturdy elephant legs and walk out, why not?
Tian Donkey really couldn't understand the reason why Sister Ling was not at home, and walked towards the bathhouse step by step with great doubts.
When Tian Donkey came to the bathhouse, a sense of foreboding came to his heart, because the door of the bathhouse was still closed, and there was no sign of being opened, but there were a few deep scratches on the door of the bathhouse, which should be the scratches of the dog. Perhaps, after he left, the dog came to the door of the bathhouse, but at this moment, the dog was not in sight. Tian Donkey had a premonition that the doubts in his heart were about to become reality, his heart couldn't help but tremble, and in an instant, an inexplicable fear attacked him with doubts, he stretched out his trembling hand again, and opened the door of the intact bathhouse tremblingly, in the dark, he couldn't see anything clearly in the bathhouse, until he turned on the switch of the electric light in the bathhouse.
"Sister Ling......"
Tian Donkey saw that Sister Ling was lying motionless on the ground, as if she was asleep, lying quietly and peacefully.
"Sister Ling......? Are you asleep? ā
Tian Donkey called Sister Ling twice, but there was no answer, although Sister Ling looked like she was asleep, but there was no snoring. And calculate the time, Tian Donkey'er from escaping from Sister Ling's house to returning to Sister Ling's house, this period of time is not too short, how can a normal person stay motionless on the damp bathhouse floor as it is? Although frightened, Tian Donkey forced himself to step forward and go to see what was going on. When Tian Donkey approached Sister Ling, he saw that Sister Ling's face was pale, and there was a large pool of blood behind her, and she had already lost her breath.
She's really dead.
"Oh my God!"
At that moment, Tian Donkey almost collapsed to the ground, not because he was afraid of Sister Ling's death, but because he was afraid that Sister Ling would die because of herself. Her face was peaceful, lying in her own blood, and even, under her skull, there was still bubbling new blood, there, it must have been a big crack, Tian Donkey didn't dare to turn over Sister Ling's head to look, instinctively took a few steps back, and sat on the ground. He couldn't help but imagine, I don't know if Sister Ling has struggled, maybe she has struggled, maybe she has called, maybe she has called for help, but Tian Donkey, the indirect murderer, escaped, and closed the door, ending Sister Ling's path of survival and calling for help.
"Dead, dead...... Sister Ling is dead...... It's really dead......"
The donkey couldn't get up, his legs were limp as if he had lost his bones, and he sat quietly, talking to himself over and over again. Fear, guilt, double emotions tormented the poor fellow, who felt that he was a real murderer. It was him, it was he who killed Sister Ling, not the damn banana peel, although he hated Sister Ling, but he didn't want her to die, she died, who did he ask for his salary? And at that time, Sister Ling stepped on a banana peel and fell, if Tian Donkey helped her in time and pulled her up, she would not have broken her head and died of excessive blood loss. Moreover, at that moment, a cold night breeze blew into the bathhouse, making Tian Donkey tremble, like the ghost of Sister Ling who came to Tian Donkey to beg for her life.
Death, sometimes it is really a perfect thing, it perfectly resolves the grievances between Tian Donkey and Sister Ling, writes off the past, and makes Tian Donkey unable to continue to hate or abuse a dead person, after all, the dead are big and should be respected. Moreover, even if Sister Ling had tortured and manipulated Tian Donkey before her death, but in any case, she can be regarded as a living Bodhisattva in Tian Donkey's life, and once sent charcoal in the snow when Tian Donkey needed it most, so that he could eat, drink and live, so Tian Donkey's heart softened, he began to sympathize with the short-lived Sister Ling, sympathize with her death, pity her corpse, and more importantly, he couldn't watch Sister Ling's corpse rot and stink in the bathhouse all the time, and when it was dawn, the customers who took a bath would come, and at that time, Sister Ling, this dead corpse must not lie on the ground and be scary. Besides, if others know about Sister Ling's death, then he himself will not be able to get out of it, and then he may be arrested by the police and imprisoned, because the police will not believe that the banana peel is the murderer, but will definitely determine that Tian Donkey is the murderer, and at that time, Tian Donkey will not be able to say that he has a hundred mouths, so after thinking about it, after thinking about it, Tian Donkey's last thought of is still to escape.
"Hey, thirty-six plans are the best plan, and the will of heaven is hard to disobey."
Tian Donkey thought that he couldn't face the situation in front of him, although he was a little reluctant, but he had to accept the fact that Sister Ling was dead and the salary for scrubbing was in vain. He stood up dejectedly, intending to continue his escape, away from this place of right and wrong, and continue to accept his fate of wandering.
Tian Donkey strode to the door of the bathhouse, but suddenly stopped, because Sister Ling's dog came to the door of the bathhouse at some point, and blocked the door impartially, and whined in a low voice, confronting Tian Donkey.
"Get out of the way!"
Tian Donkey scolded in a low voice, but the dog ignored Tian Donkey and continued to whine, as if questioning who had killed its owner.
"Get out of the way...... Good dogs don't get in the way, get out of the way...... Let's go, let's go...... Let's go......"
Tian Donkey drove the dog away a few times with his hands and feet, but the dog did not pounce and fight Tian Donkey, let alone bark loudly, but bluffed in his throat and continued to whine a few times, and then turned around and ran away.
Without the dog in the way, Tian Donkey returned upstairs, and before leaving, he wanted to get back what belonged to him, because he was afraid that Sister Ling would chase after him when he fled before, so he fled in a hurry and didn't bring anything, and now, Sister Ling is dead, and no one is chasing him, so he can take away anything he wants to take, and even, if he is lucky, he can also take his share of salary, anyway, money is meaningless to the dead, and Sister Ling will not suddenly jump up and block herself. Thinking so, he first walked towards Sister Ling's house, thinking that if he rummaged through Sister Ling's house, he might be able to find out the money, but when he went to push Sister Ling's door, he found that Sister Ling's door could not be opened. Sister Ling, who has always been cautious, is used to locking doors and windows, and is even more accustomed to hanging the key on her body, so at this time, if you want to get your belongings from Sister Ling's house, you have to go to Sister Ling to find the key. It's really a twist and turn, no matter what, Tian Donkey didn't dare to look at Sister Ling's dead face again, but he didn't want to leave empty-handed, so he turned around and went back to his house, picked up the quilt on his bed, and prepared to cover Sister Ling's face with the quilt, and then got the key, looted the belongings and flew away.
Three steps and two steps, when Tian Donkey returned to the bathhouse with the quilt again, he gasped, and the bloody scene in front of him made him unforgettable for life. That dog, the dog raised by Sister Ling, was full of blood, tearing Sister Ling's corpse, almost unloading the corpse into eight pieces, the head of the body was almost different, the unrecognizable head and neck that were gnawed were only connected with a layer of skin, the large intestine and small intestine on the side, the heart, liver, spleen, stomach, lungs and other internal organs were leaking out, and blood was sprinkled everywhere, it was simply miserable and bloody. Where had Tian Donkey seen such a scene, so he vomited out all of a sudden.
"Wow...... Wow......"
Tian Donkey vomited stomach water like a flood, because he hadn't eaten anything in the first place, so when he vomited, he almost vomited his entire stomach pouch. He held the wall with one hand and his stomach with the other, glancing at the dog in between vomiting. The dog had red eyes, and used its sharp teeth to bite off the neck connecting the head and the body, and a bloody head rolled to the feet of the donkey like a ball, and the vomiting that the donkey had stopped was like a flash flood again, and then looked at the dog, there was a gloomy contempt in his eyes, as if he was laughing at the donkey, and despised the donkey. That look was also very similar to Sister Ling's usual eyes before her death, it was a kind of condescending contempt, at this moment, Tian Donkey was despised by a dog who was eating the corpse of his master.
And it was precisely the dog's contempt and the cruelty that annihilated the dog's nature that aroused Tian Donkey's anger, he couldn't see Sister Ling's body being eaten by the dog like this, and he couldn't tolerate the cruelty of the dog, so he closed the door behind him, picked up the mop that was mopping the floor in the bathhouse on the side, rushed up with an arrow step, and killed the dog fiercely.
That process lasted for a few minutes, maybe it was Tian Donkey's fatal blow that caught the dog off guard, so there was almost no escape and backbite, let alone struggle and struggle, the dog fell to the ground with a muffled sound under Tian Donkey's stick, and his brain burst and died. After Tian Donkey killed the dog, he looked down and saw that he was already covered with blood, to be precise, Tian Donkey at this moment was more like a murderer, although he was just a murderer who killed the dog.
