Knock knock!

The old wooden staircase, under the vigorous pedaling, made a heavy footstep sound.

A child shivered under the covers, pulling up the quilt with both hands, covering his head, trying to hide his body in the quilt as much as possible. Under the nervousness, the child held his breath and did not dare to listen to the heavy footsteps, but he also did not dare not listen.

After hearing the footsteps fade away, the nervous child finally breathed a sigh of relief and secretly put his nose out of the quilt to breathe in the fresh air.

Knock knock knock!

At the moment when he relaxed, the sound of heavy and terrible footsteps came again, and every foot seemed to be heavily stepped on his heart, and the child couldn't help but cinch the quilt tightly with both hands, and secretly prayed in his heart that he was not looking for him.

However, the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer showed that the truth was not what he wanted.

The child became more and more uneasy, and helplessly, he retracted his body back into the bed again, not daring to show his head.

Syllable!

The sound of the door lock being twisted made him tremble, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move.

With a creak, the old wooden door was pushed open, and with the sound of leather boots scraping against the floor, someone approached him.

The sound of footsteps stopped beside the child's bed.

The child hiding in the quilt had closed his eyes, trembling slightly, and his young heart had already raised his throat.

Thump! Thump!

The child who was stuffed under the bed could clearly feel the intense and rapid abnormal beating of his left chest, and the fear of impending but unknown was spreading rapidly in his young body, and this fear had almost reached the critical point of collapse.

Boom!

The sharp pain in his heart came with a heavy blow, and the person who came smashed his left thigh with his fist through the quilt.

The child was suddenly covered in cold sweat in pain, but he just held back and didn't dare to cry.

"How long are you going to sleep? When I was your age, I had to help your grandfather push the cart at six o'clock every day. ”

A cold voice came, seemingly a lesson from the right voice, but the tone was terrifyingly cold. Then the quilt on his body was torn apart violently, and the cold air instantly swept through his body.

When he looked up, the child saw a pair of familiar eyes, which were so contemptuous, so ruthless, so cold, and so strange.

I don't know if it was because of the pain or the cold, the child was trembling, but it looked more like fear.

"Get up!"

He was dragged to the ground and tried to struggle to get up, but he couldn't, because his left thigh had shown obvious bending, and the child's leg was actually broken under the heavy punch just now.

"Humph! Useless stuff! ”

"What are you doing? He has such a high fever, what are you pulling him up for! A woman ran over and said angrily, her expression looking not only angry, but also resentful and pent-up for a long time, but more fear.

"Ah!!h When the woman saw the child's broken thigh, she immediately cried out in misery.

"What to cry about! This little injury will be fine for a few days! ”

"You son of a bitch!!" The woman rushed towards the other with grief and anger on her face.

Syllable!!!

As a result, he was slapped directly and flew to the ground.

The mother fell to the ground, bleeding from her mouth and nose, and her face was like ashes, which became one of Fa Ziqing's countless deep memories when he was young.

Bang bang bang!

"Silence!"

"Please continue the prosecution witnesses" The judge, who was seated in the main seat, struck a small hammer to suppress the boiling noise in order to maintain order in the courtroom.

A prosecutor approached a young woman with a beautiful face, a confident expression, and an extremely well-dressed woman, who looked like a woman with a successful career.

"What's your name, please?" The prosecutor asked.

"Fang Rulan," the woman replied.

"Ms. Fang Rulan, may I ask what is the relationship between you and the defendant Fa Ziqing?" The prosecutor nodded and said.

"I'm his ex-wife." Fang Rulan said indifferently.

There was another whisper of head-to-head exchange in the courtroom.

"When did you marry the defendant and when did you get divorced?" The prosecutor asked.

"I was a classmate with him, I knew him when I was young, I admired his talent and brain, as well as his usual humorous conversation, I married him three years ago and divorced him half a year ago." Fang Rulan's tone was still calm.

"Then may I ask, do you still admire the talent and mind of the defendant Fa Ziqing?" The prosecutor asked again.

"Against! The prosecution's question is not directly related to this case! One of Fa Ziqing's lawyers immediately stood up and spoke out against it.

"Your Excellency, my question can prove the authenticity of Ms. Fang Rulan's testimony from a better angle." The prosecutor explained to the judge.

"The objection is valid, and the issue will not be considered for conviction," the judge concluded.

The prosecutor bowed slightly to the judge and asked, "Then may I ask Ms. Fa Ziqing, do you have a harmonious love life after marriage?" I mean, do you think the defendant loved you enough at the time? ”

"Yes, he loves me a lot, I can feel it." Fang Rulan nodded, but her eyes did not look at Fa Ziqing in the defendant's seat.

"What about you?"

"Me too."

"Then what made you choose to divorce the defendant?" The prosecutor asked curiously, his question also raising questions for others.

Only the lawyers hired by Lu Zhanliang for Fa Ziqing felt bad and stared at the witness stand tightly.

Fang Rulan pursed her lips, as if she was a little hesitant, and then she glanced at Fa Ziqing in the dock, but the other party's godless gaze and unresponsive expression made her feel disgusted.

So Fang Rulan said: "The reason why I divorced Fa Ziqing is very simple, because my father-in-law at the time, Fa Rutian, who was one of the great scientists of the Innocence Star, asked me to sleep with him more than once. ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was immediately shocked, and the ensuing discussion continued for a long time, becoming more and more noisy.

"Silence!" The judge slammed the small hammer again.

Several of Fa Ziqing's lawyers immediately ignored it, and frowned, this testimony is too unfavorable to Fa Ziqing!

After waiting for the surrounding silence, the prosecutor glanced at Fa Ziqing, and asked Fa Rulai again: "Have you informed Fa Ziqing of this, which is the defendant in this case?" ”

"I told you."

"So what was his reaction?" The prosecutor asked.

"He didn't react at all" Fang Rulan sneered, her face full of disdain.

"No anger or any other reaction?" The prosecutor looked incredulous.

"I said it, he didn't react at all, just silence, I thought he was preparing for the future, such as moving out with me, but it turned out to be business as usual, as if nothing had happened. So I divorced him. Fang Rulan said coldly.

Everyone nodded their heads, in this case, divorce is the most normal choice.

The prosecutor nodded, faced the jury crowd, and said helplessly: "It is conceivable that a child who grew up in domestic violence, a good marriage, should be the most effective medicine to make up for the psychological trauma, but this happiness was suddenly ruthlessly torn apart, it is conceivable that the situation is like hell coming again, and the initiator is the person who has been committing domestic violence against himself, so everything that happened after is naturally easy to relate." ”

"Strongly opposed! This is unfounded speculation! This is a slander with a clear purpose! Fa Ziqing's lawyers stood up and protested loudly.

"The objection is valid, please stop the leading speculation." The judge said.

The prosecutor stopped talking, bowed to the judge, and looked down with a smile on his face.

Fa Ziqing looked at the iron window blankly, silently recalling everything before.

Oooo

"Fa Ziqing, someone has come to see you!"

The sound of percussion was crisp, but Fa Ziqing couldn't help but recall the heavy footsteps on the stairs that would forever be engraved in his memory.

Knock knock!
