Chapter 185: The Past Is Hard to Follow the Wind
During the Chinese New Year, I asked her what she wanted for a New Year's gift, she said that she wanted to make a phone call with her mother, the phone bill at that time was very expensive, the little girl was very sensible, and she didn't talk much, she said some words, and returned the phone to me. I still have that button phone at home.
I'm nostalgic, and my memory is pretty good, and I still remember what she said to Mr. Luo. I thought she would complain about her aunt's abuse of her, but she just said something like she missed her mother very much, and asked when she would be able to go to the United States to live with her mom and dad. Luo Jiutian cried a lot at that time, I heard it really, to be honest, I was quite moved at the time. I want to help, but unfortunately I can't. If this kid made any mistakes, I think it's forgivable. After the team finished speaking, it seemed that they had thought of something, and they couldn't help but rub their eyes and let out a long sigh.
"And what about later? Didn't she sue Luo Jiutian? ”
"Later......" The team thought about it for a while, then organized the language and continued: "The affairs of their family were also of concern in City A at that time, after all, there were four college entrance examination champions. Luo Zitong's aunt is not good to her, this is a well-known thing. Probably at that time, everyone didn't want Luo Jiutian to come back in such a beautiful way, wandering overseas alone, carrying a small amount of goods, and even borrowing the travel expenses. Many people thought that if she left like this, she might not come back, and at that time, I thought the same way.
So, when the little girl told me that the New Year's gift was to make a phone call with Luo Jiutian, I also had the mentality of giving it a try. After Luo Jiutian came back, he threatened to take Luo Zitong to live abroad. I thought about it at the time, that little girl's hard life has finally come to an end. But what happened next was really ...... It was so unexpected for me.
That was the last time I heard a report about the Luo family, but the case involved the arson more than ten years ago. After Luo Jiutian returned home, it was naturally an inevitable process to recognize his daughter, according to the confession at the time, that is, Luo Jiutian went out to buy vegetables, and Luo Zitong overheard her aunt talking to someone on the phone, saying that Luo Jiutian is now developed, and he wants to call a few men he knows and kidnap her.
This confession was said by Luo Zitong, and it was unscrupulous, so it was also used as testimony at that time, in which Luo Zitong said that when her aunt was on the phone, she mentioned about the arson case of the Luo family more than ten years ago. What is it to say, 'Why don't I have my share of the property, I am also a member of the Luo family', 'Since they are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust, they are all burned down, and everyone should not think about it'. There are also rumors in the market about this matter, saying that when the Luo family was rich, the elders of the Luo family were worried about the decline of their descendants, so they deliberately left a sum of property, but when they divided the property, there were some disputes. The people of the Luo family each had a ghost in their hearts, but they didn't expect to end up being burned to death. ”
"So, her aunt did the arson case?"
"Yes, although there was Luo Zitong's confession at that time, it was not enough to overturn the case, and when we were struggling, Luo Zitong gave us a piece of evidence, which was a letter of guarantee. It was her aunt who agreed with a few gangsters, and after the matter was completed, there was a guarantee on the sharing of the spoils. The little girl is also clever, she swallowed her anger for so long, and finally managed to turn the tables once.
However, the combination of stolen goods did not leave us with a chance to arrest people. The little girl knew that her aunt was looking for someone to kidnap Luo Jiutian, and in a panic, she was discovered. In order to extinguish her mouth, her aunt naturally would not let her go. When Luo Jiutian went back, the whole person was stunned, Luo Zitong stood at the door of the kitchen, with a kitchen knife stuck in her shoulder, and she was holding a blood-stained blade in her hand, and behind her was the corpse of her aunt who fell to the ground. When Luo Jiutian looked at her, she was still smiling at Luo Jiutian and said; Mom, what are we going to have for lunch today?
Luo Jiutian was stupid, and after calling the police, he learned all the truth, and after closing the case, he took Luo Zitong to the United States overnight. I really can't imagine that it should be the hardest police call I've ever had in decades. The woman was wearing a skirt, and the little girl, perhaps by luck, cut the artery in her thigh with a blade. But when we asked her where she got her blades, she never said.
A child of a few years old, she was acquitted of self-preservation, but after that, there was no Luo family in City A, and I didn't hear anything about her again. When she came back when she grew up, I was already old, and I had met her twice outside the school gate, but she was at a loss, and I didn't remember what I looked like when I was old.
I don't know how much the events of my childhood will affect her physically and mentally, and as an outsider, I don't have the right to ask. However, if I could, I still hope not to see her body, and even if she is now at large, I will do everything I can to hunt her down. The best thing that awaits her should not be death. ”
"I see." Gu Aochen listened to his words and fell into deep thought.
In this way, Luo Zitong's IQ is not low, it is indeed understandable, the family has good genes, and she is the champion of four generations, as for her aunt...... How much influence Luo Zitong's childhood had on her is now unknown. Everyone calls her a pervert and crazy, but who knows about her past?
Twenty years, whether it is long or not, is not short, but it can be regarded as a small half of life. The people who lived on the original street probably had already forgotten what the Luo family was. They have forgotten their former neighbors, but these people who have experienced it have not. If it weren't for the team, I'm afraid that these things would never be known again, right?
Just imagine, what is the reason for a child of a few years old, why does she carry a blade with her, and how afraid and distrustful she is of the people around her and the environment in which she lives? But she is willing to endure, she can endure until Luo Jiutian comes back, this is also the only innocence she has preserved for so many years, right? Believing that the person who had promised her, when she returned, she would be able to leave this filthy and disgusting place, and she saw through the hypocritical faces of many adults, and the things and transactions that she knew and did not know took place on the streets that had not yet prospered.
After the prosperity of City A, who cares when they go back and look back on the once suffocating history of this city. Poor enough to ignore the trust of relatives, poor enough to throw a little girl a few years old to human traffickers.
When the newcomers, dressed in fur and ermine furs, walked by, the lights were bright, the neon lights flashed on people's faces, and the songs and bells and laughter rang in the streets, even the only street that remembered the little girl who was hoarse in the darkness and tried her best to resist the struggle changed.
The last blood-stained smile on her face was like the last cry for that time. Poverty is not a fault, but it is often easy to lead others to make mistakes.
In such a picture, a blood-stained little girl stood at the kitchen door, with a kitchen knife stuck in her shoulder, her body was scarred, she looked embarrassed, even like a little beggar, she held a blood-stained blade in her hand, and behind her was the body of her aunt who fell to the ground. When Luo Jiutian looked at her, she was still smiling at Luo Jiutian and said; Mom, what are we going to have for lunch today?
She succeeded, yes to her at that time, because she was brave, patient, and persevering, she defeated an adult who was crushed by the destruction of reality, stopped her evil plans, and stopped her crime. Her hard work for so long will be rewarded, she is a little hero.
In Western fairy tales, she is like Snow White who fights against her evil stepmother, and what should have been greeted and given to her should be her beautiful and happy life, but fairy tales are just fairy tales after all. She went to the United States and left the city where she had lived for so long, but her ideal new home did not come, and when she arrived in the United States with Luo Jiutian, her mother told her a cruel reality.
She has no father, long before she was born, her father had already run away with other women, although Luo Jiutian gave her double maternal love, but after all, she has been absent for so many years. Not only Luo Zitong, but even Luo Jiutian will feel extremely strange when she looks at this daughter who she once worked hard to give birth to in October, right?
There is no family affection at all.
Is such a miserable life forgivable?
Of course...... No way.
All the good things should have been family harmony and reunion, but they ...... Many years ago, it was burned clean by that fire. There is nothing left, and what has also changed is the life of a little girl who has not yet been born. Greed, one of the seven original sins, until now, such things still happen from time to time in City A.
And what about G City, where the environment is even worse?
Go without saying.
Speaking of greed, when using the dean of the Conservatory of Music, Ye Jingjing, Li Yao, Nangong Yi and others, isn't that exactly what Luo Zitong used? Among them, some are greedy for reputation, some are greedy for feelings, and some are greedy, but the people who care about them look at themselves more. She used what she had defeated herself to defeat these people, Luo Zitong was the winner, but for most people's life tracks, she was a complete loser.
Losing a lot.
She will never be able to return to the normal life she once had, since she did it, everything has been doomed, she has become a complete outlier, and society will not tolerate it. Obviously, what she did was just self-preservation.
She's at a loss, right? When facing her aunt's corpse, she will also wonder, death, is it just that she is asleep.
The past has never been with the wind, the old things are heavy, it is a bag that Pangu can't afford, it is a dry mountain that Yugong can't move, it is a sea of tears that Jingwei can't fill, it is the dusk that Kuafu can't chase, and it is also a fallen leaf, a flower, a grass and a world, it is you and me, can't see through, can't touch, can't chase the traces, but it's true, it really happened, and it's around us. In terms of time, the vicissitudes of life, spring, summer, autumn and winter, streams and springs, flowers, grass and insects, you and me, are all passers-by.
