As soon as Liu Juan entered the bedroom, she saw her son standing in front of the window stupidly, staring out...... Her son was sick, and she didn't dare to call her husband to tell him everything that was happening at home.

The psychiatrist said that his son's illness was mainly due to psychological reasons, and if he couldn't untie the "heart knot", that life would be like this. But Liu Juan doesn't understand, where does an 8-year-old child get the knot!

Blame that damn report! Liu Juan cursed more than once, the reporter who wrote the news. Even more curse that damn rainy day, if that day is sunny...... Then none of that will happen!

She just wants to protect her son, is that wrong? It has also been reported more than once on TV that the child was falsely accused after helping the old man! She just wants her son to know how to protect himself, the weakness of human nature is selfishness, and she is not wrong at all!

But the Internet and TV are full of the video of "seeing death and not saving". She doesn't care because she's an adult and has her own judgment. But what about Xiaotao? He's only 8 years old, and he can't handle these pressures that he shouldn't be able to bear!

His classmates and teachers at school all sneered at him, and his best friend told him: I want to cut him off! He was originally a member of the study committee of the class, but as a result, the whole class voted to remove him from his position as a class cadre at the class meeting.

Liu Juan angrily found the theory of the head teacher, Mr. Wu, but Mr. Wu said coldly: "The class cadres must be students with excellent ideology and moral character." In a fit of rage, she dropped out of school!

From then on, Xiao Tao's words became less and less, and in the end, he didn't say a word. That's it, but I don't know when Xiao Tao always likes to throw things downstairs around him...... It's horrible! There were a few times when they almost hit others, but because they lived in a high-rise building, the people downstairs couldn't figure out how many floors they threw it, and it didn't hurt anyone, so most of them were "gone"!

Liu Juan led Xiaotao to see a psychiatrist several times, but there was no effect. She lives every day in fear and fear...... And Liu Juan's husband is an oil worker who has been drilling wells in Xinjiang for many years. She spends less than two months of the year resting at home, and she really doesn't have the courage to tell him what happened these days......

The police car downstairs had been ringing for a long time, and I didn't know what was going on. Liu Juan wanted to go out and have a look, but she didn't care about leaving Xiao Tao alone at home, so she said to Xiao Tao: "Son, let's go to the supermarket!" ”

Xiao Tao looked at her silently and didn't say a word.

Liu Juan sighed, took her wallet, and took her son's hand and went out. Xiao Tao is like a rag doll without a soul, let her pull her away......

When the elevator reached the 6th floor, the "Ding Dong" elevator door opened, and two young girls walked in talking and laughing.

One of them said to the other, "Did you just pass downstairs and see a police car?" ”

Another said with some excitement: "Of course I saw it, it seems that there is a man downstairs who let the crystal ashtray thrown downstairs be smashed to death!" The corpse had already been carried away when I came, but there was blood in that place! It's scary! ”

The words of the two girls shocked Liu Juan, and the scene of her walking into the bedroom just now resurfaced in front of her. She glanced down at Xiao Tao, but her son didn't react. It's as if the world has nothing to do with him.

There is indeed a crystal ashtray in her bedroom, which is her husband's treasure, and she never uses it for ash.

Liu Juan walked out of the building and saw that the grass downstairs had been cordoned off by the police, and the blood stains on the grass were still shocking. Unconsciously, she clenched her son's hand tightly...... Xiao Tao frowned slightly, but immediately became as calm as death.

The supermarket is in the evening and there are not many people. Liu Juan had something in her heart, she didn't have the heart to buy anything at all, she randomly selected a few goods and hurriedly checked out and left......

When she got home, the first thing she did was go back to her bedroom and look for her husband's crystal ashtray. But things are always the most fearful, and the crystal ashtray is gone.

"Xiao Tao, mom asked you, did you throw Dad's crystal ashtray downstairs?" Liu Juan's language was a little hurried.

But Xiaotao didn't seem to understand what his mother was talking about, and looked at Liu Juan blankly. She looked at her son's appearance, and her heart was sour, Bu Tao is a patient now, he may not know what he is doing. She was determined not to let anyone know that the crystal ashtray had been thrown from her house.

But the next day the police came to the door...... Two police officers asked what Liu Juan was doing at the time of the crime. She answered truthfully: She was washing the dishes, and Xiao Tao was watching TV. The police took a look at Xiao Tao and found that the child was obviously abnormal. I didn't ask much......

Since the place of the incident was a blind spot for surveillance, and there were no witnesses at the time, even if there were...... It is also impossible to know from which floor the crystal ashtray was thrown down. After a long time, this case of "throwing objects from high altitudes" that caused the death of passers-by, like many other cases that could not be solved for various reasons, was "lodged in the high cabinet".

Liu Juan has no job and few friends, and most of the time she revolves around her son. It almost made her sleep, but she couldn't talk to anyone.

Xiao Tao's illness is getting worse and worse, and she talked to her son before, but she still had a reaction. But now it's like a lifeless puppet, except for being able to eat and drink, sometimes I don't know how to go to the toilet when I poop.

In desperation, Liu Juan had no choice but to lock Xiao Tao in her home and lock all the windows with chains. She completely separated Xiao Tao from the outside world, as if only in this space of her own, no one could hurt her son.

That night, Liu Juan lay in bed as usual to tell Xiaotao a story. She didn't expect Xiao Tao to understand anything, she just wanted him to listen to her speech more.

"Mom, there's an uncle outside the door who came to return something."

Liu Juan couldn't believe her ears, she looked at her son in astonishment and said, "Xiaotao, what did you say that my mother didn't hear clearly, you say it again." ”

Xiao Tao mechanically repeated what he had just said: "Mom, there is an uncle outside the door who came to return things." ”

This voice was her son's, but the tone was cold and strange to her. Liu Juan cautiously came to the door and looked out through the doorway...... There was a black hole outside the door, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

Suddenly, the voice-activated lights came on without warning. A man was standing in front of her house, his head bowed, and Liu Juan couldn't see his face clearly. But fear slowly rose from the bottom of my heart......

She covered her mouth with her hand, and she didn't dare to gasp, and she didn't even have the courage to look out the door again.

The "Ding Dong" doorbell rang. In this quiet, somewhat scary room, it was particularly harsh...... Liu Juan was really taken aback.

Just when she was in shock, Xiao Tao's voice sounded faintly behind her: "Mom, there is an uncle outside the door who came to return things." ”

Liu Juan immediately covered Xiao Tao's mouth, but the man outside the door should have heard it, and he banged on the door frantically. The frightened Liu Juan picked up Xiao Tao and quickly ran back to the bedroom, never daring to come out again.

The night passed in such a muddle...... At dawn in the morning, Liu Juan had a splitting headache, and the first thing she did when she got up was to walk to the door and look out of the door. Next door, Zhang was locking the door and getting ready to go to work.

Liu Juan hurriedly opened the door and stopped him: "Xiao Zhang, go to work!" ”

Xiao Zhang didn't expect Liu Juan's sudden appearance, and was stunned: "Liu, Sister Liu, it's early!" I go to work. ”

"Xiao Zhang, did you hear any strange sounds last night?" Liu Juan asked cautiously.

Xiao Zhang thought for a while and said, "There shouldn't be, I slept more deadly." Sometimes I can't even hear the thunder. Then he raised his hand and glanced at his watch and said, "Sister Liu, I'll go to work first if there's nothing to do." ”

Liu Juan had no choice but to say embarrassedly: "Okay, you can go." ”

Seeing Xiao Zhang enter the elevator, Liu Juan just wanted to turn around and enter the house, when she was suddenly attracted by a shiny thing next to her. She looked at it fixedly, and her legs suddenly went weak with fright.

That shiny thing turned out to be my husband's crystal ashtray! It's not... Didn't you let Xiao Tao throw it away? Shouldn't it be in the Public Security Bureau? A series of questions came out of her head, and her mind was empty for a while.

She hurriedly took out a black garbage bag from the living room, wrapped the crystal ashtray in it without thinking about it, closed the door and went straight to the garbage bin downstairs. After throwing away the crystal ashtray, Liu Juan fled home.

She looked at Xiao Tao, who was sitting by the window, still living in her own world. I remembered that he had spoken last night, but this morning, he didn't say a word as if nothing had happened......

Liu Juan made breakfast for Xiao Tao, fed him and talked to him. But Xiao Tao didn't react at all, just mechanically opened his mouth to eat. But before the meal was finished, Liu Juan found that Xiaotao had urinated...... She was helpless and sad, and shed tears to clean up Xiaotao.

The daytime is always very short, Liu Juan looked at the sun in the west, and the fear in her heart quietly rose again...... The night was too long for her.

After dinner, Liu Juan and Xiaotao went to bed early. This time she didn't tell Xiao Tao a story, she just hoped that her son could fall asleep early, listening to her son's even breathing, she knew that Xiao Tao was asleep.

But Liu Juan couldn't sleep herself, tossing and turning in bed...... I remembered that I hadn't had my husband call for a long time, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to control my emotions and tell the truth. She picked up the phone several times and put it down hesitantly.

In a trance, Liu Juan felt that Xiao Tao, who had been sleeping, moved. She was sober in a flash...... Turning his head to look at his son beside him, he saw Xiao Taoyuan looking at the ceiling with his eyes open, and his mouth was closed one by one, as if he was saying something?

Liu Juan sat up and touched her son's head, the temperature was normal, and there was no fever.

"Xiao Tao? What happened to you? What's uncomfortable? ”

Xiao Tao turned his head to look at her and said faintly, "Mom, there is an uncle outside the door who came to return things." ”

Liu Juan looked at her son with a numb scalp, but Xiao Tao kept repeating mechanically: "Mom, there is an uncle outside the door who has come to return things." Mom, there's an uncle outside the door who came to return something. "Over and over again......

The doorbell rang without warning, and the bell was mixed with a hurried knock on the door! Not again! Liu Juan held her son tightly in her arms, not daring to look, not to listen, and not to think!

Xiao Tao was still repeating that sentence over and over again, and finally almost screaming! Liu Juan could only pray in her heart that all this was a nightmare, and even more prayed that she would wake up from this nightmare soon......

I don't know how long it took, Liu Juan finally fainted due to excessive fright and exhaustion. Maybe for her, it was a relief from a nightmare......

A ray of sunlight shot through the gap in the curtain and hit Liu Juan's face, it was so warm that she didn't want to wake up. But the stench pulled her back to reality, and Xiao Tao was ** in bed.

blamed myself for being too nervous last night to scare my son. While Liu Juan felt sorry for her son, she could only blame herself. After she had collected everything, she walked to the door, took a deep breath, held her breath, and slammed the door open......

There was nothing outside the door! She was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and turned to go home. Suddenly, she heard the door next door open, and a voice stopped her: "Sister Liu! ”

Liu Juan looked back and saw that it was Xiao Zhang next door.

"Xiao Zhang, what's wrong?"

"Oh, last night I came back, there was a man standing in front of your house, knocking on the door, I asked him who he was looking for? He said that he had something to return to you, but no one came to open the door, so he asked me to pass it on to you. After speaking, he took out a black bag from behind him and handed it to Liu Juan.

Liu Juan took the bag and recognized at a glance that it was the black garbage bag she threw away yesterday morning. Xiao Zhang saw that her expression was not right, so he asked her, "Sister Liu, are you okay?" Is that man your friend? ”

Liu Juan pretended to smile and said: "Yes, I asked him to buy things for me, I slept so hard last night that I didn't hear a knock on the door, thank you, Xiao Zhang." ”

Xiao Zhang saw Liu Juan's unnaturalness, and thought about a woman whose husband had been away from home for a long time, if she had something to do with other men...... It was also possible, so he didn't ask anything more.

Liu Juan watched Xiao Zhang walk into the elevator, and she slowly opened the black bag, which was her husband's crystal ashtray! It still seems to have some dried blood stains on it...... She was much calmer this time than yesterday, no longer panicked, but turned around and picked up the garbage that was about to be thrown away at home, and walked to the trash can downstairs.

After throwing away all the "garbage", she returned home, closed the door with her hands, and then sat down on the floor, doing her best to make herself look normal...... Tears of fear slipped silently from the corners of her eyes, what should she do? No one will be able to help her!

At the beginning of another long dark night, Liu Juan secretly came to the green belt downstairs to kill people. Because this is the back of the building, almost no one passes by at this time......

She took out the paper money prepared in advance, and said while burning: "Big brother, my son didn't mean to stone you to death, you see that he is only 8 years old, adults don't remember villains, I beg you, my son is really pitiful, he will throw things when he is sick......"

The more Liu Juan spoke, the more excited she became, and finally knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to the burning paper money! Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the burnt paper ashes on the ground swirled and flew up! Liu Juan, who was frightened, exclaimed, but she immediately covered her mouth again.

The paper ashes were blown all over the ground, and Liu Juan suddenly found that not far from the green belt, there was a man standing, with his head down, holding a black bag in his hand.

She couldn't calm down anymore, and ran into the building without looking back. An elevator happened to stop on the first floor, and she walked in without looking, and when she saw that the elevator door was about to close, a miserable white hand reached in......

Liu Juan was frightened and went straight back, but the space in the elevator was limited, and she was already leaning against the wall. The man walked in with his head down, but his miserable white hand grabbed Liu Juan's neck straight.

She felt all the oxygen drained in an instant, her brain went blank, and just when she thought she was dead, the hand disappeared so suddenly! Liu Juan coughed, and her snot and eyes flowed down together. She barely lifted her head, only to find that the man in front of her had also disappeared...... But there are six bloody words on the elevator door: "I want to take Xiaotao away"

Liu Juan was stunned, what the man wanted was not her, but Xiao Tao, whom she desperately wanted to protect. The son can't be fine, otherwise she won't have the face to see her husband! She crawled home, locked the door, and hid in the bed in the bedroom with her son until dawn......

Time passed minute by minute, and Liu Juan's body was already soaked with sweat. Suddenly, she heard "Click!" in the living room. With a bang, the door opened. Liu Juan's pupils dilated. A dark shadow walked slowly to the bed, and she could only close her eyes in despair, waiting for death to come.

"Daughter-in-law?" A familiar voice rang out.

Liu Juan was stunned for a moment, she hurriedly turned on the bedside lamp: "Husband! How did you get back. She burst into tears.

"Husband, I ......"

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Liu Juan found that her husband had a smell of oil and fishy smell mixed together, which was very choking. She gently pushed her husband away and looked at his body, which was all covered in grease.

"Husband, what does it smell like on your body, why are you so dirty?"

"Oh, I didn't come back by train, I came back by the car with gas, and I was in a hurry, so I didn't have time to change my clothes. The main reason is that I miss you two too much, so I came back directly. ”

Liu Juan's heart was sweet, and the fear of the past few days suddenly disappeared. She smiled and said to her husband, "I'll turn on the hot water for you, you can wash it quickly." ”

The husband nodded, walked into the bathroom, and Liu Juan sat in the living room watching TV with peace of mind. Looking at her, I suddenly felt an inexplicable uneasiness, it always felt wrong, the bathroom was too quiet, and there was nothing but the sound of water. She slowly got up and walked to the bathroom door, quietly pushed the door open a crack and looked inside.

What about the husband? It's steaming and smoky inside, but where is my husband? She felt a chill in her heart, pushed the door and entered. Maybe the door opened, the fog cleared, and the husband reappeared.

"What's wrong, daughter-in-law? I just wanted to call you to rub my back! ”

Liu Juan thought secretly: "Could it be that she is dazzled?" My husband is right in front of me, what are you thinking! So she picked up the bath towel and helped her husband rub his back......

Looking at her husband's originally strong back, but now it is a little swollen, she is a little worried that her husband's body may have a problem: "Husband, has your unit arranged a physical examination this year?" ”

"Not yet, next month."

Liu Juan said worriedly: "You are alone outside, you can pay more attention to your body, our mother and daughter can all point to you!" ”

Her husband comforted her and said, "I'm fine, you can rest assured." ”

After Liu Juan and her husband took a bath, they went to bed together. As soon as she lay down, she smelled the inexplicable stench emanating from her husband's body again. But it doesn't matter, as long as her husband can be around, she is not afraid of anything.

"Daughter-in-law." My husband suddenly called Liu Juan.

Liu Juan said suspiciously: "What's wrong?" ”

Her husband said to her gently: "You have been taking care of this family alone all these years, and you have worked hard!" ”

Liu Juan shook her head and said, "I'm so hard, it's you who is the most tired." ”

"By the way, daughter-in-law, I earned a sum of money for you and your son, so you don't have to worry about your life in the future!"

Liu Juan asked with some concern: "How did you earn the money?" ”

The husband patted her and said, "Don't be afraid, the money your husband left you must be reasonable and legal." ”

She couldn't understand the meaning of her husband's words, and she always felt that her husband was a little strange when he came back this time...... It's just that I can't figure it out for a while.

The husband saw that Liu Juan was still worried, so he said to her: "Sleep, daughter-in-law, everything will be fine tomorrow!" ”

It was time for a good night's sleep, she closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully. She slept soundly and comfortably.

"Ring......" A rapid phone ringing woke up the sleeping Liu Juan. She picked up the phone in a daze: "Hey, who are you looking for?" ”

A man on the phone said in a sad tone: "Sister-in-law, I'm Li Yi." Something happened to my brother. ”

Li Yi? When Liu Juan heard that it was her husband's colleague, she asked a little strangely: "Something happened?" What happened to him? She suddenly remembered what her husband said yesterday about the money, isn't it because of this?

"Husband, Li Yi is calling, husband?" Liu Juan found that she was the only one on the bed. Just when she was thinking that her husband might be going to the toilet, she heard Li Yi crying on the phone: "Sister-in-law, there was an accident on the well platform of our team last night!" There was a blowout, my brother him, he was on the well at the time, he ...... He...... Woo......"

Listening to Li Yi's choked cry on the phone, Liu Juan was stupid. She ran into the bathroom like crazy, but it was empty. She searched the whole house again, but there was nothing.

It's impossible, my husband came back last night, how could he be at the scene of the accident? Suddenly, Liu Juan remembered that the door had been locked by her all the time, and even if there was a key outside, it couldn't be opened! She walked slowly to the door, and sure enough, it was still locked......

But last night he slept next to him, but there was a bad smell, and now that I think about it, it seems to be the smell of burning oil.

"Mom!" Xiao Tao called Liu Juan in the bedroom, son! She hurriedly ran to her son's side and said, "Xiao Tao? Do you know Mom? ”

Xiao Tao nodded and said, "I know, how can I not know my mother?" What about Dad? He told me a lot of stories last night. ”

"Dad, your dad is on a business trip."

"Dad talked to the uncle outside the door for a long time last night, and finally the uncle outside the door left. He also told me that he wanted Xiao Tao to be brave, so that he could protect his mother. Xiao Tao said seriously.

Liu Juan listened to Xiao Tao's words and burst into tears, she glanced at the place where her husband had been lying on the bed, and a human-shaped oil stain was clearly visible......

Liu Juan's husband died in the line of duty, and the compensation from the oil company and the insurance company added up to a total of 900,000, which is the "sum of money" that her husband said to Liu Juan, which is indeed reasonable and legal, because this is what her husband exchanged for his own life!

Xiao Tao's illness was also cured, and Liu Juan found Xiao Tao a private school to attend, where the teachers and classmates were very friendly, and no one knew about Xiao Tao's past......

Liu Juan and Xiaotao's lives, everything is back on track, except for her husband.

On this day, she came back from grocery shopping as usual, and as soon as she walked into the elevator room, a young man who looked like a high school student walked in. The moment the elevator door closed, the young man took out a sharp knife from his body, and said to Liu Juan with some trembling: "Take out all the money on your body!" ”

Liu Juan was a little surprised and said, "You, what are you going to do?" ”

The young man shouted, "Give me the money!" ”

"Okay, okay, don't get excited, I'll give you all the money." As she spoke, Liu Juan took out all the money on her body and threw it on the ground......

The young man waved the sharp knife in his hand and picked up the money on the ground. Suddenly, he saw a gold necklace around Liu Juan's neck.

"Give me the necklace too!"

Liu Juan, who was originally very timid, suddenly became very resolute when she heard that he was going to grab the necklace. Because this necklace was bought for her by her husband when she got married, she can't let anyone else snatch it no matter what!

When the young man saw that Liu Juan refused to give him the necklace, he reached out to grab it with a knife, and the two fought in the elevator room...... Suddenly, a stream of red blood splattered on the young man's face, and he was immediately frightened! It turned out that in the process of fighting between the two, the young man's knife cut Liu Juan's carotid artery. Seeing the blood in front of him, the young man panicked and opened the elevator door and ran!

The blood kept ......, and the entire floor of the elevator room was covered in her blood. She struggled in the elevator for more than ten minutes before anyone spotted her. But it was too late!

Liu Juan died, holding the necklace that her husband gave him tightly......

To be continued
