Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Shadow of Childhood
The college entrance examination has always rewarded those who come prepared, and how many years of preparation are just for those three days of hard work.
However, there is a good saying, the college entrance examination has always filtered scumbags rather than scum, and grades are not the standard for measuring a person's quality or badness, of course, this is just a digression.
On the day of the 8th, the college entrance examination was completely over, except for the English speaking test the next day, high school seemed to be over like that, and seventeen or eighteen-year-old children were no exception ready to go out to have a meal together, to sing a song together, and this farewell didn't seem to know how long the next meeting would be.
In the high school class, there are actually a few people who don't follow the class at all, and even after graduation, they won't go to dinner with the classmates or anything.
There was such a student in the rocket class who went back after the exam, and he didn't have the slightest idea of eating or anything with his classmates who had been classmates for three years.
This person is Cen Ximu, who has been the squad leader for three years.
Since that incident in the library, Nian Nian felt like she hadn't spoken to him again, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
I couldn't find a chance to say anything to him.
The woman in the photo she saw in that lounge later learned that it was the internationally renowned musician, Lin Shuxin.
Unfortunately, such a beautiful woman was in a car accident on the way to the American hospital, and a total of three people in the car, plus the driver, none survived, and one was Lin Shuxin's husband Cen Hualang, who is also a well-known pianist.
In one day, two great musicians who had a certain influence in the world passed away, and their youngest son was only a month old at the time, and their eldest son was still in the hospital.
The eldest son has been in poor health since he was a child, he has always been in his mother's mother's home, that is, in the United States, and has always been brought up by his grandparents, who are also very famous conductors and pianists.
As for Cen Ximu, from the moment he learned how his parents died, the United States was the place he didn't want to go to the most, his home was in the big villa where his parents settled in China, the huge amount of insurance left by his parents, plus Lin Shuxin and Cen Hualang's family was already so rich that he had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, but even if he had nothing to worry about, he didn't take a look at his parents' country of death and the brother Cen Xinan who had never met.
But Cen Ximu's loneliness and incomprehension are not so simple.
Cen Ximu, who is still young, has been living in the Cen family since he was born, and he has lived for five years, and in those five years, he is kind in the open, but in secret, he is talking about his mother Lin Shuxin.
Even his grandmother, who usually looked noble, would lead him to a small dark room, and pull him to sit on a narrow chair with thin chains on her feet, and she whispered something in his ear that he did not understand.
She said: "Lin Shuxin, this woman is really powerful, she didn't know how to be honest before she died, and she still had to pull my son until she died, who knows whose wild son you and that big bastard are?" My only son! But because of that pervert left, then how should I torture the mongrel she left behind? It seems that you have been forgotten, otherwise how could I have left you? ”
He wouldn't have anything to eat for the whole day, but he didn't cry or make trouble, and he didn't know how long she talked every day, he just knew that she was crazy.
Even if it's like this to himself, no one in such a big house will care, and so does the grandfather who pretended to be Komeito.
There were always a few times a day, he would be in that dark room, his whole body hurt, and he was beaten without any good meat, how old was he at that time, and he still didn't cry or make trouble.
The old and the new scars alternate, and the people who took the medicine seemed to be rude, and they would always add all the grievances they had suffered in the day to him.
"Are you okay?"
The moment the door was opened, his body trembled subconsciously, and the moment he heard the voice again, he was indifferent, and he was not ready to answer her, because he didn't know her, he only knew that she came a few days ago, and it should be the daughter of his grandfather's youngest daughter, that is, his cousin, she may often come to this house a few times, but he hasn't seen it much, and his grandmother doesn't allow him to see it, and the place where he stays the most is this little black house.
There was also a girl who looked thinner and thinner, and after Li Miao left, she stood at the door of the black room, looking at Cen Ximu who was locked in a chair against the light, and she exhaled softly.
That's Li Ran.
"Wait a minute, I'll go find my mom and dad." That's what Li Miao said. With that, she ran away.
After hearing her say this, Cen Ximu had already fainted, and when he woke up again, he was in the hospital, he looked at the ceiling blankly, and the sound of the instrument in his ears, he was five years old this year, and he had countless injuries on his body, old and new, I heard that when I was sent, I saw several doctors and nurses crying, is it so painful?
He has long been used to it, not only his grandmother, but also the nannies who help at home, and he is not in a hurry to deal with it.
The most impressive thing is that there is a man who said to the four-year-old: "Your mother likes women, so do you like men?" Show me your little brother and show me if your asshole is shy. ”
He didn't understand it, and he didn't do it, although the man didn't hit him, but this was his deepest words, he could only think literally, what if he liked women?
Who stipulates that women can't like women, but disgusting men are still so disgusting no matter how long they last.
It was Li Ran's parents who brought him out of that small dark room, that is, his aunt and uncle, and sent him to the hospital.
However, it was my grandparents who came out of the Cen family to live alone in my parents' house, and they came to China to take Cen Ximu away, but he refused, and he was almost six years old at that time.
Someone in the hospital called the police, and when the police entered his house, they were shocked by the six-year-old boy, not to mention the wounds on his body, and the look on his face that was about to die.
There was only one Fufa, it was the man, he wasn't ready to talk about the old woman, but she was a madman, she was mentally abnormal, he couldn't help it, but she soon died of a myocardial infarction.
That man, he had seen it, not only to him, but also to many people, and he had also seen that man do things to Li Ran that made him feel very bad.
To be honest, it doesn't feel like he's being ruthless enough to just go to jail.
How unfortunate Cen Ximu is, how unfortunate Li Ran is.
All misfortunes seem to have been left to this family.
Although her parents did not die suddenly like Cen Ximu's parents, it is better to have them than not.
They have been very busy since Li Ran was a child, maybe they were afraid of hard times before, they eloped, Old Man Cen has a big temper, and he will beat and scold any child who is not happy, he has strong self-esteem, and he doesn't care what the children think.
Li Ran's father was a poor guy at the time, and the two old men naturally didn't want to marry their daughter, so even if they didn't agree, they still ran away with him.
Every day is cabbage, green vegetables, clear water soup, the eldest daughter was raised thin and yellow, such days until the birth of the youngest daughter Li Ran, the opportunity was found, and life was better.
Because she was away from home for a long time, the eldest daughter was sent to boarding school by her parents, and Li Ran, who was only two years old, was put at home, and the two hired a nanny in her forties and fifties to take Li Ran at home.
Her first misfortune happened on that day, when the nanny brought her husband.
Li Ran sat on her bed, and the man with obscene eyes quietly walked into the room and locked the door with her hand, the two-year-old didn't know why the dark-looking uncle took off her pants, let alone why the uncomfortable touch was.
At that time, Li Ran's parents would come back about once a week, and Li Ran's misfortune was discovered, but they didn't know how many times they were invaded by that man.
However, what is even more chilling is that it was not her parents who were found, but the nanny, she did not do anything else, let alone inform Li Ran's parents about this kind of thing, and Li Ran was only persecuted by that man again for a short time.
When she was more than three years old, Li Ran began to be able to go to kindergarten, and the nanny introduced her husband to Li Ran, who could be a driver for Li Ran and take her home.
Li Ran's parents naturally agreed quickly.
The nanny also asked him to settle down a little, the other party was just a three-year-old child, however, her words could only give her a beating, she was often injured, but when she saw Li Ran, she couldn't help it.
Soon, Li Ran's sister graduated from elementary school, and that year, Li Ran was six years old, and she was ruined in the hands of that man for three whole years.
Li Miao is different from Li Ran, she is smart, when she comes back, when she touches the man's eyes, she can't help but feel a little sick, his eyes are too narrow, his eyes are too small, and his body proportions are not coordinated, although she knows that she can't judge people by their appearance, but if she hadn't found out that the man was eavesdropping in front of the door of her room one day, she wouldn't have asked her parents to fire this man like that.
The man was gone, and at the same time there were some changes, as well as Li Ran, Li Miao found that she was becoming more and more stunned, at a young age, and for some reason she looked a little lifeless.
It was only when she was in elementary school that Li Ran understood why it was so scary.
How did she hate her parents so much later on?
Or because of work, they sent her to a boarding primary school, which is different from the primary school that Li Miao studied, one is a public primary school and the other is a private primary school, because they later got rich, so they sent Li Ran to the private boarding primary school they thought was good.
As everyone knows, they also sent their daughter to the brink of pain.
The parents explained the situation to the principal, who occasionally took Li Ran home, and at first it was fine, nothing happened, but later, his disgusting fangs slowly appeared, and he forced her to do what the teacher told her to be careful.
Later, she would hide from the well-dressed beast, but it was useless, and he could stretch out his dirty hands wherever he was.
She was eight years old at the time, and it wasn't like she didn't think about telling her parents, but they never listened to what they said, they were busy flying around, thinking about the contract in their hands.
During the break that afternoon, Li Ran let out a scream, she ran out of the principal's room, because she was not tall, so she successfully ran out of the school gate, the principal naturally couldn't let her run out, he personally led people to chase behind.
Li Ran ran to the side of the road, and she looked at the woman who got out of the car and a fat boy, they were beautifully dressed and looked like they were from an upper-class family.
She was barefoot, her little foot poked out of a small hole by the stone, and she ran desperately to the mother and son, and finally collapsed at their feet.
She listened to the exclamations, the noise, the sound of the ambulance, and the sound of the surrounding instruments, and during this time, she secretly opened her eyes, and she saw the chubby little boy, who was frowning and looking at her with big eyes, as if he was worried about her.
Then she fell asleep, and when she woke up again, she was in the hospital, and sitting by the bed was the very elegant-looking woman and her son, the chubby boy, and there was a girl next to the boy, and the girl was very good-looking, with a small face, and big, watery eyes, which seemed to have stars in them, which were completely different from her eyes.
"Aunt Xuan, that girl seems to be awake."
The little girl sitting on the side was the first to see Li Ran open her eyes, her voice was glutinous, and she whispered to the woman next to her.
"Huaibao, quick, press that button and call your grandfather."
All of a sudden, the ward was suddenly full of people, not only doctors, but also a few police uncles in police uniforms, and Li Ran was just lying on the bed in a daze.
Later, Xuan Xuan saw that her mood was not very stable, so she only let a doctor and a psychiatrist stay.
originally thought that such a scene would make Li Ran a little out of control, however, in front of the three women present, she said everything in 1510, whether it was the nanny's husband or the principal of this private school, every time she said a little, her eyes dimmed.
Sobbs began to come from the room, not her, but several women who were already mothers.
Her parents arrived at the door of her hospital room the next day, and they were of course remorseful when they learned the truth, but it seemed that it was already a cheap compensation.
Since then, they have closely observed Li Ran's every move, and they have given her enough care and love, for fear that she will have bad thoughts.
In the end, because Li Ran didn't have the idea of self-harm, so they started to run for their careers again, Li Miao still didn't know about her sister in the end, but at first she felt that her parents were still a little unbalanced because her sister had lived at home for so long, and then she went to high school, and she didn't have much time to stay at home, so it was over.
Li Ran's dual personality probably began to exist at that time, the well-behaved and obedient submissive side, and the quiet side.
Li Ran and Cen Ximu, I can't tell which of the injuries suffered by the two is more serious, but they are both childhood shadows that will accompany them for a lifetime, because of their mother's orientation, they are treated abnormally, this is not as simple as beating and scolding, for those who have died, the living people do not seem to have the heart to let the spirit rest in peace, in the end, no matter what Lin Shuxin's choice is, others should not have the right to comment on anything.
