55. Chapter 55
The child's cry was heartbreaking, but the two did not rush forward, the house was cleaned up, and it seemed that someone should live here permanently.
"I'll take a look, wait for me" Tian Ran observed the surroundings of the house and made sure that there was no one else, so he said to Luo Jiujiu.
"Be careful" Luo Jiujiu nodded, looking at the house in front of him, Luo Jiujiu always felt a little weird.
Tian Ran lightly touched the wall, where there was a window where he could clearly see the situation inside.
From the outside, the house was cleaned up, it seemed that the owner of the house was very diligent, Tian Ran probed his mental power in, and found that the cry came from the inside, and after making sure that there was no one else, Tian Ran opened the window sill and turned in.
The furnishings in the house are very simple, with low tables and low stools, and some household tools.
Tian Ran glanced at it roughly, then lifted the curtain and entered the back room, on the wide earthen kang, a seven or eight-year-old skinny child was lying on the bed, covered with a quilt of flowers, tears rolled down his cheeks to the pillow, splashing a large piece.
Tian Ran was a little strange, in such a hot weather, with such a thick cup on his body, wasn't he afraid of the heat?
Tian Ran walked to the side of the kang and found that the child's eyes were empty, but tears kept flowing.
"Sister, save me!" The child cried, and suddenly found Tian Ran standing aside, and hurriedly looked at Tian Ran with pleading eyes.
", it's hot!" Outside the house, a man said dissatisfiedly, and the sound of footsteps became clearer and clearer.
"Sister, run" The little boy also heard the movement outside, and said to Tian Ran with a frightened face.
"Shhhhhhh
"Dad" The boy looked at the man who came in, his voice was weak and he screamed, and Tian Ran, who was hiding on the beam, saw the fear in the boy's eyes.
It was his dad who came in, why did he let himself go? And why is he afraid of his own dad? Tian Ran was very puzzled.
And since he came in, he hadn't seen the boy move himself, and there was a disgusting smell of rancid smell in the room.
Could it be that the boy is paralyzed? Tian Ran touched his chin puzzled, and his eyes swept over every part of the house, looking for the source of the smell.
"Little brute, I heard your unfortunate cry from afar, you are not quiet, be careful that Lao Tzu is not polite to you" The man's face was angry and fierce, and he looked at him very dissatisfied, without the slightest love as a father.
"Fortunately, I was lucky today, I hunted a deer, and after eating it, I gave Lao Tzu a good body, this look is enough for your mother to eat for a few days," the man said as he lifted the quilt covering the boy.
"No flesh grows at all, eat so much for nothing" Looking at the boy who had not yet grown meat, the man's face was very dissatisfied.
Looking at the scene below, Tian Ran covered his mouth, his dark eyes were full of killing intent, how could there be such a father in the world, it was simply a pig and a dog.
On the kang below, the quilt on the boy's body was rudely thrown aside by the man, and the quilt was taken away, and the following scene was clearly seen.
The bloodstained bed, there was no good place on the boy's body, his hands and legs were wrapped in gauze, but Tian Ran saw the white bones inside through the cracks.
No wonder the child was lying on the bed and couldn't move, covered with scars, and the flesh on his hands and feet was about to be shaved.
Suddenly, there was a sound in the back room, and the man's expression immediately became self-reproachful.
"Daughter-in-law, don't worry, I'll feed you" After the man finished speaking, he picked up the quilt and threw it at the boy, got up anxiously and walked to the red lacquer cabinet in front.
Tian Ran watched him open the cabinet and take out a bowl of meat from it, which still smelled stench, but the man walked in with a smile as if he was holding a delicious meal.
Tian Ran's body moved, fell to the ground gently, made a gesture towards the boy on the bed, and then followed the man inside.
In the dark and damp room, the window was blocked by a black cloth, and the man put the meat aside, skillfully lit the candle on the side, and the room immediately became bright.
There was a female zombie tied to the pillar, who looked to be in her thirties, and when she saw Tian Ran coming in, she kept roaring in her mouth, and she couldn't wait to jump over and tear her apart.
"Daughter-in-law is obedient, don't make trouble, this will be for you to eat" The man thought that the zombie wanted to eat, and hurriedly coaxed it with gentle words.
No matter how gentle the man was, the zombie just kept roaring, until the man stuffed the piece of meat into her mouth, and the female zombie became a little more stable.
"You scumbag, you actually feed zombies with your son's meat!" Tian Ran really couldn't stand it anymore, her cold eyes were full of anger, this man was completely challenging her bottom line.
"You, who are you? How did you get in here? The man panicked at first, and suddenly a strange smile cracked at the corner of his mouth, and he picked up the hoe on the side and attacked Tian Ran.
"But it doesn't matter, since you're here, leave it to my daughter-in-law as a reserve grain" The man's face was hideous, Tian Ran dodged, he continued to attack, the little beast's meat was about to run out, he couldn't starve his beloved, so this person had to stay.
"Trash" Tian Ran leaned to the side, raised his arm, and the handle of the knife fell heavily on the man's back.
The hoe in the man's aching hand fell, and he kept rolling on the ground.
"Xiaoran, are you alright?" Luo Jiujiu had just seen the man enter the house, and she knew that this man would not be Tian Ran's opponent, but there was no movement in the house for a while before she walked in.
After coming in, the child on the bed stared at the room tightly, she knew that Tian Ran should be inside, so she broke in, just in time to see Tian Ran slapping the man to the ground.
"It's okay, let's go, this man should be damned" Tian Ran finished speaking, and walked towards the door with Luo Jiujiu, but when he arrived at the door, Tian Ran suddenly stopped, took out a knife from the space, and with a movement of his right hand, the knife shot straight towards the place where the female zombie was.
The bell, the knife □□ the pillar, and by the way, the straight that was tied to the female zombie was cut off, the female zombie was already struggling, the rope was broken, and the female zombie didn't struggle a few times, she broke away from the pillar, and walked towards the man with a stiff body.
Until he went out, Luo Jiujiu was in a state of coercion, and he was curious about what happened to Tian Ran and the man for a while, which would make Tian Ran so disgusted with him.
"No, don't, don't!" The man crawled away from the outstretched hands of the female zombie and stumbled towards the door.
Against the zombie tied to the pillar, because he couldn't hurt him, he had a daughter-in-law, and even fed her with his son's human flesh, but when she came down from the pillar and wanted to eat his meat, he knew that it was a monster, not his daughter-in-law, but unfortunately it was too late.
"Please let me out, please!" The man kept banging on the door, and the two stood in front of the kang as if they hadn't heard anything.
Seeing that the people outside had no intention of opening the door, the man held a hoe to the zombie, but the whole person was trembling.
"Flower, don't come here, I'm really welcome to come over again," the man said as he walked backwards.
But the female zombie couldn't understand what he was saying, how could a little bit of meat every day satisfy its bottomless stomach, and it just wanted to eat all the food in front of it now.
In the end, the man still didn't make a move, threw the hoe away, and pushed down the contents to prevent it from coming.
The sound of something falling to the ground and the screams of men kept coming from inside until the sound became weaker and weaker.
At this time, Tian Ran and Luo Jiujiu both guessed what was going on inside.
And at this meeting, Tian Ran also told Luo Jiujiu about the matter.
"This beast is so dead that he is cheap" Luo Jiujiu looked at the child on the bed, his eyes were full of tears, this is his child, how can he do it!
"Sister, please kill me, I hurt so much, I miss my mother" The boy looked at the two of them pleadingly, he really couldn't stand it, it was better to die than to live like this.
As for his father, why he didn't come out, he didn't care anymore, he just wanted to see his mother now, and he didn't want to save zài for a moment in this world.
"Okay, sister, you will be fulfilled," Tian Ran touched the child's thin cheek and said with a smile.
"Thank you, sister, you are good people" The boy was also at this moment, the godless eyes were full of light, and after a while, the boy closed his eyes with a smile, waiting for Tian Ran to make a move, he could finally be freed!
Tian Ran hugged the boy, tears fell on the bed, and suddenly with a force, the boy's neck was crooked instantly, and the pair of dark eyes could no longer be opened.
Tian Ran flattened the child and removed the blood-colored bandage on his body, because her father had not dealt with it properly after cutting the flesh, the boy had always exuded a rancid smell, and now that the bandage was removed, the smell became even stronger.
Tian Ran picked up the clothes next to the boy expressionlessly and put them on for him one by one.
"Sister, can you please put on the clothes next to the pillow for me in a while, that was bought for me by my mother, I haven't worn it once, and now I want to wear it to see my mother" The boy finally left a sentence in Tian Ran's ear.
"Good" This is also the last sentence Tian Ran said before breaking the child.
Luo Jiujiu looked at Tian Ran and didn't say a word, just took a shovel and went outside to dig a pit, a pit that was just able to accommodate the child's body.
"Child, you must be happy in the next life" Tian Ran took out a wildflower from the space and planted it in front of the boy's grave.
"Let's go"
"Child, I hope you can find your mother" gently touched the improvised wooden plank inserted in the mound, and the two left the place with a somewhat heavy heart.
At the window behind him, a complete female zombie with a mouth full of blood, and a male zombie with half of his face missing and blood still dripping, kept stretching out his hands towards the backs of the two.
The chrysanthemums in front of the grave swayed with the breeze, the white flowers were like the faces of young men, and the green leaves kept swaying, as if to say goodbye to people.
