Chapter Thirty-Seven: Nightmare Facts
At night, a cool breeze hits.
Yunshi got up from the bed and got down the dirt bed with her little hands against the cold wall.
Pushing open the mottled red lacquer door, I saw a black cat running with its tail on the eaves of the landlady's grandmother opposite. The sky was dark and there were no stars to be found, and only insects could be heard outside.
She walked out of the courtyard gate, walked through a sheep intestine path by the moonlight, and her small body was submerged in a lush wheat field, and finally found Tang Wan's figure by the reed lake.
She sat alone on a stone by the lake, and when she found rhyme, she told her.
"Sit next to me." She patted her side, staring at Yun Shi with a pair of red and swollen eyes, and smiled sadly.
Yun Shi sat down beside her. She found the small glass in Tang Wan's hand, and the transparent liquid emitted a strong aroma of wine.
"Does Shishi know where we went this morning?" After drinking, Tang Wan's voice became very gentle.
"I went to my grandfather's house."
"And then, what do we do?"
"Kneel in front of my grandfather's house."
"Remember what Mom was kneeling there shouting?"
"I ask my grandfather for forgiveness."
"What else?"
"I beg my grandfather to see me."
Tang Wan listened to her immature milk voice, and reached out to hug her in pain.
"My family poetry is so smart and cute." She said with a smile, but the tears in her eyes couldn't stop popping up.
Yun Shi looked at her face that had become distorted by excessive emotional restraint, and her heart became heavy and she didn't know what to do, so she had to reach out and wipe the tears from her face.
Tang Wan suddenly put aside her hand and covered her face, and suddenly cried bitterly. The voice shouted heart-rending in the wilderness: "You will hate me when you grow up, hate me for not giving you a complete home, hate me for ruining your life, hate me for giving birth to you!" ”
Tang Wan's screams frightened Yun Shi.
"Mom, did I do something wrong?" She looked at Tang Wan timidly.
Tang Wan raised her head and held her hand again, choked up, "You're right, you're well-behaved and caring." It was my fault. Mom is cowardly and incompetent, and she can't feed you. ”
Her blood-red eyes stared at her for a few seconds, as if she had made a decision, and turned to take out two bottles of drink from her side.
Yun Shi looked through the moonlight, and it turned out to be the AD calcium milk she had always wanted.
She handed her a bottle. Yun Shi looked down and saw that the tin foil on the mouth of the bottle had been removed, and the color was hard to see in the black hole.
"Mom used the last money left over to buy a drink." Tang Wan wiped a handful of tears and smiled at her with a pale and ethereal smile. "Aren't you clamoring for AD calcium milk?"
Yun Shi was silent with her drink.
"Mom never regretted giving birth to you." Tang Wan touched her little head repeatedly, "It's just that mom is too tired." ”
"It's not your fault, mom just doesn't want you to live as miserable as me, it's pitiful to have a child like me without a mother. It's better to follow your mother. ”
"Didn't you keep saying that if you drink AD calcium milk, you can run happily like the brother next door? Drink, drink. She finished and pushed the bottle to her lips.
Yun Shi looked at her blank gaze and sniffed the bottle, scared inside.
Although she was only 7 years old, she could already feel an unusually terrifying and oppressive atmosphere.
"Mom, is the drink good?" Her voice trembled.
Tang Wan's tears overflowed again. She smiled and coaxed, "You drink it first, tell my mother if it's good." ”
Yun Shi watched her staring at herself intently, so she had to lower her head and put her mouth at the bottle, and slowly raised her neck with her eyes closed.
As soon as her lips touched the cold liquid, Tang Wan suddenly got up and slammed the bottle in her hand.
There was a flash of lightning and thunder in the cold night sky. The soybean-sized shower poured down, smashing Yunshi so much that she couldn't open her eyes.
She looked up and saw eerie and dazzling electric lights streak out of the dark night sky, followed by several deep, low thunderclaps.
Tang Wan cried like crazy and staggered all the way into the lake. Yun Shi stood up and shouted anxiously by the lake, "Mom! Mom! ”
The sound of thunder and lightning became sharp and piercing, "crackling" in the sky. Tang Wan was like a soulless puppet, dripping water mechanically.
Yun Shi also entered the lake, and within a few steps, the water had already reached her chest. The lake was turbulent by the rain. It made her dizzy and nauseous. Seeing Tang Wan going farther and farther. She risked her life and took two more steps forward, opened her hand almost in despair, and shouted helplessly in a hoarse voice: "Mom, Mom, don't leave me!" Please, don't leave me! ”
"Mommy, don't leave me, please don't leave me......" Yunshi murmured in tears, awakened. Slowly open your teary eyes.
There was the sound of dripping rain in my ears, and it was not a black lake in front of me, but the white curtains of the hospital. Mu Kunlong sat beside her, clenching her sweat-soaked hands.
"Have a nightmare?" He asked softly.
Yun Shi couldn't get out of the dream, and the tears kept flowing. I only felt that the pain in her internal organs made her breathless.
"Why did Mom abandon me?"
"She didn't, she just had her own things to do." He reached out and touched her sweaty forehead, whispering reassuringly.
"I almost died." Yun Shi said in horror, a chill down her spine. Tell the truth that she didn't dare to face in her dreams. "Mom is going to kill me."
Her helpless and desperate look awakened the past that he had sealed in his heart for many years, and he and her had different experiences but similar state of mind. The misfortunes of childhood will always be deeply imprinted in people's hearts, and they will not disappear as the years pass, but will be buried deeper and deeper in the bottom of the heart. When you turn it out, it feels like it was yesterday and it's unbearable.
Mu Kunlong reached out and wiped the tears from her cheeks for her. Listening to her murmur tiredly, "I'm so scared of her, but I still miss her so much, I want to stay with her." ”
“…… She is my only relative and dependent, and I don't want to be an orphan. ”
He nodded at her and promised, "Don't worry, she'll be back with you." ”
Hearing this, Yun Shi tilted her head sideways, slowly closed her eyes, and fell asleep again.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Bobo and Xiaoying appeared at the gate of the hospital. I followed the schematic diagram of the inpatient hall on the first floor to find the ward on the second floor.
"We are looking for patient Tang Yunshi, can you tell us that you are in that ward?" The two asked the nurse at the front desk.
"From the right, go inside, the fourth." The nurse was registering the information, and then lowered her head after answering in a hurry.
The two followed the instructions and found the fourth.
"Which one?" Xiao Ying stood in the middle of the corridor, looking at the two wards in front and behind. For the sake of it.
"Oh, you see there's a sign here." Bobo gestured to the electronic version on the side of the room. I saw that it was displayed in blue letters: Tang Yunshi.
The two excitedly pushed the door in and leaned in front of the bed. I saw that Yun Shi was sleeping soundly.
Xiao Ying reached out and pinched her nose. Seeing this, Bobo gags her mouth mischievously. In less than a few seconds, Yun Shi suddenly opened her eyes.
"Y-why are you here?" Yun Shi got up from the bed and looked at the two people in front of her in surprise, grinning.
"Dangdangdang - bring you a cake!" Bobo picked up the cake in his hand.
"I bought you snacks too!" Xiao Ying also excitedly picked up the schoolbag in her hand and shook it.
"Don't you go to school?" Yun Shi smiled happily. Glancing out the window and asking, "Is it still raining outside?" ”
"It's okay to skip class once in a while." After Xiaoying finished speaking, she sat beside her and excused herself; "Anyway, it's sleet outside, and the traffic is terrible, and the teacher knows that my family is far away and will understand."
"I asked Wang Yu to help us both ask for leave, and said that we would go for a physical examination, don't worry about us." Bobo waved his hand, put the cake on the table, turned to look around the room, and suddenly pointed to the small TV hanging on the wall.
"Can I watch TV?"
"There's a TV!" Xiao Ying screamed, got up and turned on the switch.
"Now for the latest news. There has been the latest development in the case of migrant workers bullying school students that has attracted national attention. It is reported that four of the five troublemakers have been arrested, and one is still at large. The foreman of the contractor who fled with the money was captured in the early hours of last night on the outskirts of City B......"
"Shishi, it's your news!" Bobo said, pointing to the TV screen.
Yun Shi hurriedly rubbed near the TV when she heard this.
I saw a bunch of reporters surrounding a police officer in charge of the case, he looked at the camera and said:
"This is a very egregious and deliberate wounding incident, which has a strong impact on the school teachers and classmates, the victim and the victim's family. We will follow legal procedures and severely punish lawbreakers in accordance with the law. Justice for the victim. Parents of students are also requested not to panic......"
A few people were listening carefully, Mu Xiaolu pushed the door in, and was a little surprised to see Xiaoying and Bobo appearing in the ward, but just glanced at everyone coldly and said to Yun Shi: "My brother is downstairs, ask us to have breakfast." ”
Yun Shi saw that she had changed into a hospital gown and was dressed neatly. Hurriedly said, "Wait for me for a few minutes, and I'll go down right away." ”
Xiaolu leaves. Xiao Ying said curiously: "Is she the daughter of the Mu family that you sacrificed to save?" ”
Yun Shi nodded, got up and took out the clean clothes that Zhang's mother brought yesterday from the simple wardrobe next to the bathroom.
"She's so tugging." Xiao Ying couldn't help but say. "At first glance, it looks like a rich woman."
Yun Shi quickly went to the bathroom, washed her face, brushed her teeth, changed her clothes and walked out.
"Why are your eyes swollen?" Bobo stared at her and reached out to stroke her bangs: "The bangs are sticky too." ”
"I had a terrible nightmare last night." Yun Shi stuck out her tongue, and after speaking, she took off the black-framed eyes that Bobo had placed on the bridge of her nose and brought them to her own eyes. She has a slight myopia, a little higher than Bobo's power.
"How's it going this time?" She waved her arms and twisted her ass, and threw winks at her two friends.
Xiao Ying shook her head and pressed her to sit on the bed, her hands were very quick, and she braided her bangs into a keel braid with the long hair on the back of her head.
"It looks much better this time." Xiao Ying saw that there was still a piece of skin on her forehead that was red due to allergies, so she took out a box of blush from her bag and tried the color on her hand. He gently applied it to the other side of her cheek as if he wanted to do it, and smiled: "The two faces look much symmetrical." ”
The three of them talked and laughed all the way downstairs.
Yun Shi looked at the gate of the hospital and found Mu Kunlong standing on the parking apron not far away.
I saw him wearing an orange mid-length trench coat, slim jeans, light coffee boots, one arm leaning on the roof of the car, and chatting with a man in a black leather jacket and jeans.
The rain and snow outside were no longer falling, but the sky was still gloomy. Yun Shi and her friends stepped on the wet floor tiles and walked towards the parking apron.
