Chapter 9: In the Clouds

The circle of flowers is already narrow, and it can be said that Bai Xingyi's departure took away her last colorful cloud.

Since then, the wind and rain have ravaged Basho, and bad things have followed, and the siege of the city has swept her already crumbling world.

At the beginning of the new semester, the school organized the collection of extracurricular book fees, and Hua Lin took it upon herself to collect the change money in her pocket, along with others, to the students who forgot to bring the money, and they verbally agreed that they would return the amount in the afternoon.

At noon, Dad didn't get any money from Hua Lian, and Hua Lin remembered to talk about borrowing money.

She was also intoxicated with the good mood of giving roses to others, and she was proud.

It was her appearance that didn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth that made her father, who was already blue-faced, explode.

"Slap", the raised big hand, in a swooping posture, could not be reacted by the party, and slapped heavily on Hua Lone's tender face, and instantly the local high fever flushed red and swollen.

In the past, when I made mistakes, my father would beat and scold, and he would say that he would have a long memory through the pain of flesh and skin, who else had not been beaten by his parents?

But—

Before Hua Lone, who was originally sitting, had time to come back to his senses, he was kicked down, and he just stumbled on the floor and was kicked in the back again.

"You idiot, give money to others, why don't you give yourself to others?"

"No...... No...... Just borrowing ....... ”

"Do you have an IOU? What should I do if people don't pay you back? You're still using strong words. ”

Between the words, Hua Lone's father couldn't control his hands at all, and it seemed that a demon had awakened in his body.

His fury is provoked, and he must be violently vented, or the dark power will devour him.

So the father, who lost his mind, grabbed the slippers on the ground, half-squatted and pinched Hua Lian's neck, and slapped Hua Lian's face continuously left and right.

After about half an hour, the demon subsided, and Dad calmed down, and he left the house without looking back, "You should reflect on yourself".

The once proud daughter of the sky is now like a wild dog that no one cares about, panicked, and dying, slumped on the cold and reflective floor of the home.

The hair strands have long been messy, people are not like people, ghosts are not like ghosts; It hurts all over my body, my head hurts, my face hurts, my heart hurts, and my tears instinctively gurgle out without making any sound.

The pain caused by Dad's heavy hand is not only the pain of flesh and skin.

Hua Lin never doubted that her classmates would pay back the money, her father's violent reaction, distrust of people, made her feel very painful in her heart, be kind to others, trust each other, and be helpful, shouldn't it be?

It may be that Hua Lin at that time did not fully understand one thing, and it had nothing to do with trust in people.

Money, above all else in this home.

Because, they are almost beyond their means, and their freelance fathers have no stable income, and they can't afford to take the slightest risk.

Regarding the fact that Hua Lin was beaten, Hua Lian's mother did not give anything to say, after all, she was beaten, what else could she do?

She has only discovered the child's father in recent years, and he is not as polite as when he was introduced by others, and he is simply a big boss. is brutal and arrogant, unreasonable, and stubborn, and falls and beats when he disagrees, looking like he wants to rush out and fight with others.

The only thing that can hold him is the fiery personality of Hua Lone's mother, who is still afraid of his wife, and has never done anything to himself.

As for the flower loneliness, how can there be parents who don't beat their children?

Didn't Hua Lone's mother herself be beaten by her father, Hua Lone's grandfather when she was a child?

How many of their sisters were not beaten?

Is there really anyone in the world who doesn't beat children? Mother Hua Lin didn't believe it.

After all, it is the children who make mistakes, and the parents have to educate and use thunderbolt means.

Mother Lonely automatically shielded Father Loneliness's violent degree.

In the dead of night, I think of the experience of being beaten like a nightmare at noon, the strange eyes of my classmates who go to school in the afternoon, and the gossip behind my back.

Touching her aching cheeks and cheeks, hugging her knees against the wall, she hid helplessly in her room, in the shadows where the moon could not shine, like a little white rabbit trapped in a swamp, desolate and weeping.

At this moment, her soul was very light, as if trapped in the clouds, muddy; It seemed to be very heavy, falling into the abyss, and shattering its bones.

She was at a loss, and she only felt that she was very lonely and could not speak.

The morning after being beaten, my mother saw that Hua Lone's eyes were swollen like a steamed bun, knowing that she had cried all night, her heart softened, and she gave Hua Lin 10 yuan for the first time, and did not forget to confess:

"You save your money and use it when you need it."

The moment Hua Lin saw the money, he suddenly lost his ambition, and the confusion and decadence of the previous night were suddenly driven away by the temptation.

When she was very young, her parents would take her downstairs to eat breakfast and hot pot stickers with steamed buns.

I don't know when I started to have breakfast at home only pickles and pickled rice.

Hua Lin also wants to be like others:

Buy a Western-style bread with white cream embedded in it; Fat but not greasy large meat buns; a steaming bowl of noodle soup; There are a lot of beautiful stickers on other students' books, and there are good-looking ballpoint pens in the stationery box, which are made of the kind of material that sprays incense and lingers for a long time; After class, they often go to the school commissary in pairs and threes, and they will exchange what is delicious and fun, and she has no right to speak.

Even Chen Xuan has pocket money to go shopping.

Once Chen Xuan asked Hua Lin while eating, do you eat?

Let the weak flower be embarrassed.

Hua Lin couldn't resist these temptations, and now, Hua Lone, who was holding pocket money, suddenly brightened, and the haze of the whole night dissipated without a trace.

Money, you are such an amazing thing, you can heal the pain of flesh and skin by touching it.

Hua Lonely, who has no financial awareness, no plan, no moderation, and soon there will be no water to spend 10 yuan to reimburse.

In the days that followed, Hua Lonely returned to the embarrassment of shyness in his pocket.

Such a flower is unbearable, it can be said that she has completely lost the aura in her body, and she soon made a heinous mistake.
