Seeing Xiaohua again, her state was obviously much more relaxed than when Ann was present, and the door was opened a little wider, no longer just poking out her head defensively. Through Xiaohua's thin figure, you can see the mess in the room behind her, all kinds of miscellaneous items are scattered all over the ground, as if she has just experienced a catastrophe.

Xiaohua's eyes were red and swollen, and there were still undried teardrops on her face, and it was obvious that she had been crying. When she saw that the person who came was Lu Ye, she hurriedly wiped her face with her hand.

"Why are you here?"

"Don't worry, I'll come and see you." Lu Ye was a little more calm when facing Xiaohua, and changed his previous timid appearance.

Xiaohua opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but before she could make a sound, she stretched out her hand and hurriedly covered her face, lowered her head, and her shoulders trembled slightly.

When Lu Ye saw her crying, he panicked instantly, and stretched out his hand to her helplessly, but when he didn't stretch it halfway, he quickly retracted it as if he had been electrocuted, hanging in the air, and hung down weakly.

"If you have any problems in your life, just tell me, I... Try to help you just that. Lu Ye said.

Xiaohua raised her head and took a deep breath, trying to restrain her emotions, and took a step back to let in: "Come in and talk." ”

……

I always felt that the house I lived in was already very small, but I didn't expect Xiaohua's rental house to be even smaller, less than half the size of my house. The facilities in the house were rudimentary, with only a bed and a table, and there were so many clothes on the bed that the sheets were barely visible. The table was fairly clean, with only a fruitless bowl on it, and a knife for cutting fruit stuck diagonally in it.

Maybe it's because she lives alone and usually works in a barbershop for a long time. I don't want to come home.

Xiaohua seemed a little embarrassed, and rubbed her hands helplessly on her clothes: "The house is too messy, and it hasn't been cleaned up, which makes you laugh." ”

Lu Ye shook his head in silence.

"I... I'm not usually like that... Don't get me wrong... I..." She was afraid that Lu Ye would think she was sloppy, so she hurriedly explained, but the more she explained, the more anxious she became, and finally she cried again.

Lu Ye finally became a little bolder at this time, walked up and pulled her to sit on the bed, and comforted her softly: "I don't dislike you." ”

Xiaohua looked at Lu Ye with a pear blossom and rain on her face, her face was full of emotion, and the next moment she put it into her arms and asked for a hug, Lu Ye raised her eyes and looked at me, looking a little embarrassed.

I immediately turned around in amusement, and looked down to see that the egg yolk was still observing the human being with great interest, and hurriedly squatted down to turn it around as well.

"Don't suffer Lao Tzu!" The yolk roared in rage, threateningly showing its spiky claw armor at me.

"Alas", Lu Ye sighed behind him, and there was a thick helplessness in his tone: "What's wrong with you?" ”

……

Xiaohua cried and talked about her recent life intermittently, and her words were mixed with unintelligible dialects and vague whispers from time to time, a simple story was told by her in a scattered manner, and there were breakpoints from time to time, I don't know what I was doing with Lu Ye. I sat cross-legged on the floor, with my back to them, like 100,000 egg yolks scratching in my heart at this moment.

I squinted at the egg yolk next to me, who was staring intently at the bed, and once again lamented the unfairness of fate - I really didn't live as well as a cat.

To simplify the complex, after I heard the story about Xiaohua, it was probably as follows: Not long after Lu Ye went to the barber shop for the last time, Xiaohua bought a pregnancy test stick under the guidance of experienced seniors because of the postponement of her aunt, and the results showed that she liked to be a mother. Xiaohua counted and calculated, and was not sure who the child was, just when she was hesitating whether to give birth to the child or kill it, a call came from home, and her father accidentally fell off the scaffold while working, broke his leg, and had multiple comminuted fractures all over his body, and urgently needed money to save his life.

Xiaohua's mother has a heart condition and can't do heavy work, her younger siblings are still young and still studying, and the family relies on her and her father to make money. Now that her father has an accident, after weighing it, Xiaohua gritted her teeth and decided to beat the child and continue to go back to work in the barbershop.

The child was killed, but in a few days when Xiaohua took sick leave to rest because of the abortion, the news of the barbershop was suddenly seized, not only that, but also the little sisters who worked together before, all of them were arrested into the bureau without exception.

Xiaohua suddenly lost her love, lost her children, lost her friends, lost her job, and her family was short of money and urging, and she wanted to die in desperation.

"I see." After hearing this, Lu Ye let out a heavy sigh.

"You take this money first, don't worry, even if I go to the United States, I will try my best to send money back to you, don't lose the courage to live because of a temporary hardship, you have to believe that everything will be fine!" Lu Ye encouraged her.

Sounds like you want to keep the relationship going. Although Lu Ye's wife is violent, this is not a reason for him to cheat on him, I scratch my head, human nature is really complicated.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. I finally had an excuse to turn around and look at Lu Ye reasonably.

The pair of mandarin ducks who were sitting on the bed also had a frightened expression on their faces when they heard the doorbell at this moment, looking at each other and panicking.

"Maybe it's for water?" Lu Ye asked.

Xiaohua shook her head, took the lead in calming down, stood up and walked to the door, and dared to ask, "Who?" ”

There was silence outside the door for a moment, and there was no answer. Then came a new, tighter knock on the door.

Xiaohua opens the door.

I sat near the door, and I could clearly see the person standing outside the door—she had a smile on her face that had not changed for thousands of years, as if it were a tailor-made delicate human skin mask, and it made people shudder for a moment.

The egg yolk didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement and whistled.

"Hello, I'm looking for Lu Ye." Ann outside the door, politely said.

"He—he's not here..."Xiaohua's expression was a little flustered.

"Can I go in and have a look?" Although it was an inquiring tone, An's body was very tough and struggling in, seeing that Xiaohua was about to be unable to stop it.

I looked at Lu Ye sympathetically, and since the latter heard An's voice, he just sat on the sofa in despair, with an expression on his face like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered. Empty and sluggish.

I vaguely feel that this should be the sequelae of Lu Ye's domestic violence for many years, and now he has long been accustomed to obeying orders, so that he has lost the ability to think and resist.

"Lu Ye, Lu Ye." I quickly stood up and walked over to call his name.

"Lu Ye, have you forgotten what you went back to the past all your hard time for?"

A trace of confusion gradually flashed in Lu Ye's eyes.

"You are now in China, and you can still stop the loss in time while the nightmare has not yet begun. Now you can not only change Xiaohua's fate, but you can also change your own fate. "Seeing him like this, I'm really anxious for him.

"Divorce her!! Do you hear that? divorce her!! I yelled hoarsely in Lu Ye's ear.

Ann had already gotten rid of Xiaohua and walked in at this time. She stood where I was sitting just now, with her usual impeccable smile on her face, not in a hurry or annoyed, looking at Lu Ye's eyes like God fiddling with the marionette in her hand.

"It's really here." She said.
