Snail? The old lady just reminded me to be careful of the snail, why did Jiang Ming take out the shell of the snail? ”

Chen Ge was a little confused, but he knew that the old man would definitely not harm Jiang Ming.

Carefully putting the snail shell back in his pocket, Jiang Ming took Chen Ge's hand and walked out of the old man's hut.

The kid took Chen Ge around in the shared apartment building, they went to the windowsill on the roof, the storage room where briquettes were stacked, and the garbage compartment was piled up, as long as Jiang Ming found the snail, he would be very happy.

Chen Ge didn't know why Jiang Ming was working so hard to find the snail, he just looked at Jiang Ming's serious appearance and couldn't bear to interrupt.

Silently accompanying Jiang Ming, they ran all over the apartment and only found four snails, Jiang Ming put them all in his pocket, and then took Chen Ge's hand and ran towards the first floor.

As long as they didn't make a sound, those strange neighbors wouldn't come over, and Jiang Ming's father didn't appear again after being beaten by the old lady.

"Are you going home?"

Jiang Ming nodded happily, he led Chen Ge to stand outside the rental house with a wooden sign, and stretched out his hand to pull the lamp rope.

After a few flickering lights, the door to the rental house opened, and a slender woman with pale "skin" appeared behind it.

She saw Jiang Ming come back safely with a gentle smile on her face, and then after she saw Chen Ge, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, as if she was scared because of the arrival of a stranger.

This woman gestured with Chen Ge, and she seemed to be deaf and mute.

Chen Ge couldn't understand complex sign language, so he could only keep smiling and make himself more approachable.

The door of the rental house slowly opened, and Jiang Ming ran to the woman's side excitedly, and he took out snails from his pocket as if showing off.

The woman touched the boy's head, with a gentle smile on her face, and quietly looked at Jiang Ming's happy appearance.

"This should be Jiang Ming's mother."

Entering the house, Chen Ge closed the door.

Looking at the harmonious picture in front of him, Chen Ge couldn't blend in at all, the woman's face was the same as that of an ordinary person, but her body was covered with patches.

From a distance, Jiang Ming's mother was like a rag doll, she only had her hands that needed to work, and there were no patches on her face, and everything else was sewn and patched, and her skin was like a shabby coat.

Chen Ge didn't dare to imagine what happened to a woman to appear in such an image in the child's memory.

The woman gestured with her hands, as if she was praising Jiang Ming, but the happy atmosphere in the room soon disappeared.

The light at the door came on again, and both the mother rag doll and the young Jiang Ming looked at the door, and finally Jiang Ming's mother walked to the door and opened the door of the rental house.

The pungent smell of alcohol poured into his nostrils, and a hideous-looking drunk appeared at the door.

The muddy body pressed against the door frame, and the arms of the wine bottle were pointed at Chen Ge, and the drunken man glared at the ragdoll woman fiercely.

The woman gestured to sign language, but the drunkard, who had long since lost the patience to look, pushed it away.

Seeing the drunken ghost come in, Jiang Ming took out the snails from his pocket and trotted over to the drunkard.

He held the snail in both hands, wanting the drunk to take a look, but before he could stretch out his hand, the drunk slapped Jiang Ming's arm aside.

The snail shell fell to the ground, and the snail that Jiang Ming had worked so hard to find was crushed.

The drunken man stared at the shattered snail on the ground, his face flushed, his veins bulging, and he seemed even more angry.

There was nowhere to vent that anger, he overturned the small table in the living room, and the water bottle on the table almost hit Jiang Ming, but fortunately, the ragdoll woman blocked it.

The hot water spilled on the ground, and some of it splashed on the drunkard, and he turned red all over, and directly grabbed the ragdoll woman's hair and pressed it down.

The woman's first reaction after falling was to wave her hand at Jiang Ming and ask him to quickly hide in the house.

The drunkard dragged the woman's legs, and the arms that grew with the bottle kept falling.

The boy stood in a mess in the living room, he didn't know what he had done wrong, the snail on the ground was crushed, and the ragdoll mother was crushed.

His shoulders were shaking with fear, he didn't know who to turn to, he looked at his mother in pain, he wanted to help the woman, but he couldn't do anything, he couldn't even speak.

"Don't be afraid."

Chen Ge gently patted Jiang Ming's trembling shoulder: "I'll help you." ”

Chen Ge kicked at the drunkard, and when the drunkard and the ragdoll woman were separated, he swung his skull crusher and smashed it into the drunkard's shoulder.

"Bang!"

The drunk slammed into the door of the rental house, Chen Ge didn't give the other party a chance, and chose to continue the attack.

"Jiang Ming, you can see clearly, he is not invincible, he is just a weak coward, you don't have to be afraid of him at all!"

The body of the drunkard who had been knocked down was recovering rapidly, his arms growing together with the furniture in the room, and his expression became more and more fierce.

"I'll lead him to the back room, and when the door opens, you get out of here!"

In order to buy time for Jiang Ming and the ragdoll woman, Chen Ge could only knock down the drunk over and over again.

With each knock down, the drunkard's appearance became more terrifying, his body swelling, his back pressed against the wall, slowly merging with the room.

In Jiang Ming's memory, the words home and father are closely linked, so Chen Ge was not surprised at all that such a situation would occur, the only thing that worried him was that Jiang Ming and the ragdoll woman did not escape from the room.

Cracks appeared in the walls, chunks of the ceiling began to fall off, the ground shook, and the light behind the door flickered a few times before suddenly going out.

The light faded, and a thick stench wafted from above in the dimly lit room.

The cracks in the roof grew larger and wider, and the drunkard's body, which had swelled several times over, touched the ceiling, and at that moment the roof of the rental house collapsed entirely.

The stench came to my nose, and something that crushed this home appeared!

With a threaded hard shell and a slimy body, a giant blood-red snail crawls above this home.

A steady stream of negativity poured into the drunkard's body, and a crack opened under the giant snail's slightly smaller tentacles, and inside was a dense network of uncountable teeth.

The huge body stretched out from the shell, and the blood-colored snail bit at Chen Ge.

"Snails? Why is there such a terrifying thing in Jiang Ming's dream? ”

Chen Ge escorted Jiang Ming back, the entire world behind the door completely changed after the snail appeared, the walls began to seep blood continuously, and the apartment building seemed to collapse at any time.

"Go upstairs and go find that old woman!" Chen Ge took Jiang Ming and the ragdoll woman and ran upstairs, and those neighbors who were similar to monsters also became crazy under the influence of the blood-colored snail.

At first, this world only gave Chen Ge the feeling of absurdity, like a very young child holding a paintbrush and sketching casually, but since the appearance of the blood-colored snail, this world has begun to become bloody and cruel, getting closer and closer to the real world behind the door.

After the three of them came to the room where the old man lived, Chen Ge knocked on the door hard.

"Grandma, I'll take you and Jiang Ming away! I know the way out! ”

The door opened, and the old lady stood in the doorway on crutches, and she saw the crazy neighbors, and the blood-colored snails crawling in this direction.

"Your obsession is not gone, you have something to worry about, you shouldn't stay here, come with us." Chen Ge had already made a decision, and he took out the comic book.

The old man hesitated, she opened her mouth and said a few words, but Chen Ge couldn't hear her voice at all.

"I'll just take your consent." Chen Ge turned around and protected the old lady and Jiang Ming's mother and son behind him, he stared at the blood-colored snail that was slowly crawling this way: "This snail is the culprit that crushed Jiang Ming's entire family, and it is also the embodiment of all the negative emotions and disasters in Jiang Ming's mind, if he can kill this thing, Jiang Ming may not be confused anymore." ”

Pressing the switch of the repeater, Chen Ge shouted softly: "Xu Yin! ”

The blood-red lines spread rapidly around Chen Ge, and the blood-colored snail sensed the threat, and all the crazy deformed neighbors ran towards it.

"Five red-clothed reds can destroy this incomplete scene, and the extra red-clothed clothes can be used to maintain the basic framework of this scene."

Flipping through the comic book, more and more blood-colored lines emerged, and they spread to the entire scene in a very short time with an astonishing aggressiveness.

The blood-red snail had stopped advancing, it felt threatened, but Chen Ge's hand flipping through the comic book had not stopped.

More and more blood-colored lines almost covered the world behind Jiang Ming's door, and finally at a certain moment, the critical point was broken, and the heavy smell of blood was surging like a sea of blood!

One figure after another began to appear around Chen Ge, the red clothes were like blood, and he didn't need to say anything more, those red clothes were like sharks that smelled fishy, pounced on the blood-colored snails.

Several red-clothed people joined forces, and the hard shell of the snail was shattered, and at this time, Chen Ge saw an extremely terrifying scene.

In the deepest part of the snail's hard shell, there is a baby face with closed eyes!

That face was exactly the same as the one he saw on the shadow in Liwan Town, it was what it looked like when he was a baby!

"The Fetus?"

The baby's eyes slowly opened, and there was pure evil in his eyes.

A shrill laugh rang out, and the body in the snail's hard shell exploded instantly, and the baby's face turned into blood, leaving only a wooden toy on the ground.

"It seems that the underworld is not attached to Jiang Ming."

Although the fetus was not found, at least one option was ruled out.

Chen Ge walked over to the snail corpse and picked up the toy on the ground.

He still has an impression of the toy, which his father gave him when he was very young, but suddenly he couldn't find it one day.

"Was it taken away by the shadows?"

After the snail exploded, the world behind Jiang Ming's door began to shake violently, and the deformed neighbors slowly dissipated, and the foundation of this world was shaken.

Chen Ge asked the other red clothes to temporarily stabilize the shaking world, and he walked to the old lady and Jiang Ming: "It's time to say goodbye to these pains, I'll take you away." ”

Flipping through the comic book, Chen Ge wanted to include the old lady and Jiang Ming in it, but Jiang Ming grabbed the hand of the ragdoll woman and was unwilling to let go.

The woman who survived in her memory gently pushed Jiang Ming away, she gently waved her hand at Jiang Ming, her body slowly became illusory, and finally disappeared.

"After leaving here, I will take you to find her in reality, and she must miss you very much."

Closing the comic book, Chen Ge took Jiang Ming's hand and returned to the first floor accompanied by several red clothes.

The scene collapses, and they open the locked iron door.

When Chen Ge stepped out of the door, Jiang Ming, who was lying on the bed in reality, opened his eyes, he sat up from the bed, and just happened to see Chen Ge who was still holding his leg up next to the bed.

The door behind him was completely shattered, and Chen Ge held his backpack in one hand and looked at Jiang Ming quietly.

Jiang Ming, who was sitting on the bed, didn't cry or make trouble, he seemed to recognize Chen Ge.

"What just happened, you should think of it as a dream." After Chen Ge finished speaking, he realized that Jiang Ming couldn't hear at all, he took out a pen and paper, and wrote down the two words of his mother: "Go to bed obediently, I'll take you to her tomorrow." ”

In order to prevent Jiang Ming from not knowing words, Chen Ge wrote while gesturing.

It took a while for Jiang Ming to understand, and for the first time, a happy smile appeared on his face.

"Rest well and good night."

Touching the boy's head, Chen Ge opened the comic book and released the old lady, "Grandma, can you hear my voice now?" ”

The old lady's gaze was always on Jiang Ming, her body was almost transparent.

"There's a question I've always wondered, why is there such a terrible snail in the world behind Jiang Ming's door? Does he have a psychological shadow on snails? Could it be that when he was a child, he was tricked by other people with snails? Chen Ge had many assumptions, but none of them were true.

"That snail doesn't mean a real snail." There was a hint of distress in the old man's voice: "Jiang Ming's mother is congenitally deaf and mute, and her family has disliked her since she was a child, and when she grew up, her family married her to Jiang Ming's father for a little bride price." ”

Later, Jiang Ming was born, although he was not born deaf and dumb, but he also had hearing defects. The doctor recommended a cochlear implant surgery, but the cheapest cochlear implant cost tens of thousands, and the more expensive ones are hundreds of thousands. ”

"The doctor said that the sooner the operation is done, the better, but Jiang Ming's mother can't come up with the money at all, and his father can't count on it."

"Since Jiang Ming's father knew that Jiang Ming also had problems with his ears, his attitude towards their mother and son has changed a lot, and he even wanted to abandon Jiang Ming, but fortunately he was stopped by Jiang Ming's mother every time."

"You have also seen what happened in the future, Jiang Ming's mother learned water embroidery with me, saved money to give Jiang Ming cochlear surgery, his father likes to gamble, and likes to drink, and steals the money saved by Jiang Ming's mother, and finally robs it openly."

Jiang Ming grew up in such an environment, he was too young to know what cochlear surgery was, and maybe in his world, the snail represented the hope of being able to hear sounds. He struggled to find the snail, he longed to be able to hear the voices of others, but at the same time, there was an inescapable fact that his family was crushed by the snail. ”

After listening to the old lady's words, Chen Ge really understood the world in the eyes of this child, and the absurdity was full of bloody truth.

"Grandma, do you know where this child's parents live?"

"What do you want to do?"

"I'm going to teach fathers how to behave, and I want to help mothers." Chen Ge took out his wallet from his pocket: "If the conditions allow, I also hope that Jiang Ming will be able to hear the voice in the future." ”

"You want to fund this child's surgery?"

"What's wrong? Don't look at what I'm wearing, I'm actually an entrepreneur. ”

After Chen Ge finished speaking, he opened the zipper of his backpack and stuffed the skull crusher hammer diagonally into his bag.
