She began to sob: "It's all my fault, if I had run desperately at that time, my mother wouldn't have taken so many knives for me." If it weren't for me, she would still be alive. ”

He comforted: "I don't blame you, you were still so young at that time, and it was normal for you to be afraid." ”

"Actually, for so many years, I wasn't so afraid of the man in black in my heart, I just blamed myself, why was I so cowardly at the time, if I could, there was a knife in the kitchen, I should have taken a knife and slashed at the man in black, why did he want to take other people's lives?"

"No, Luo Luo, listen to me, you ran right, from the perspective of strength, you were not his opponent at all, and even now, you are not necessarily his opponent. You're a lawyer, and you know that impulsiveness won't solve anything. ”

She should have agreed with what he had said, and was silent for a long time.

"I told you, there is a strong aura inside me that is refusing me to return to this house, I know, I am afraid to face them, I am afraid that they will accuse me, I am afraid to face the old self, so I want to escape. The night before yesterday, I drank some wine, recognized Niu Dan as my goddaughter, and seemed to be in a good mood, Lu Zheng encouraged me, he said, escaping can't solve any problems, if I can face my past self, all problems will be solved. I think what he said makes sense, coming back for this trip, sooner or later you have to face it, early death and early reincarnation, I am not a procrastinator. So I decided to come back here and talk to that old self. ”

"Did you come up alone?"

She nodded.

"Yes, Lu Zheng was worried, he was going to come up with me, but I refused. Lu Zheng said that he was waiting for me at the top of the stairs, and if there was something to do, he would call him. ”

"Well, he's a gentleman and an attentive man."

"When I pushed the door open, Brother Tian, to be honest, my heart was beating very hard, and fine beads of sweat broke out on my forehead. You know that feeling? It's like when I used to run the 800-meter race in school and almost collapsed, I felt like I was shaking all over my body. ”

He patted her on the shoulder: "Yes, I understand. ”

She continued: "When I stepped into the threshold, really, I didn't seem to know the place very well, a little strange. I walked over to the couch and sat down. I didn't expect it to be rotten, with a click, half of it collapsed, making a lot of noise, I heard Lu Zheng ask me at the top of the stairs what happened, I said it was just the sofa collapsed, and he said that there was no sound. I stood in front of the sofa for a long time, the night was silent, I don't know when it started, it seemed to be upside down between heaven and earth, as if I had returned to that night, the sound of firecrackers kept echoing in my ears, and the taste of the New Year was so strong. I stood in the aisle in that red tweed coat and looked at my dad lying at the table and my mom leaning on the couch. ”

She paused: "I, at first I felt a kind of warmth from family instantly surround me, and it was extremely warm. But it was only a momentary feeling, and when I turned around, the man in black was standing at the door of the balcony with a knife, and his eyes were staring at me coldly, and for a moment, I was surrounded by a feeling of fear. ”

"And what happened after that?"

I glanced at my mother, who was sitting silently on the sofa, and I didn't know where the courage came from, so I reached out and took an inkstone on my father's desk to write calligraphy, and smashed it hard at the man in black, the inkstone was broken, but the person was unscathed. I don't remember if I called or not, Lu Zheng rushed up. I was going to go to the balcony to find my mother's knife for chopping vegetables, and I was going to fight the man in black to the death. But on the balcony, there was nothing, I didn't find the tools to resist the man in black at all, I saw the opposite road, the man in black chased after me, I had no other choice, I climbed onto the balcony and stepped onto the road. ”

On such a summer night, Yi Tian felt the cold feeling transmitted from her body, and pulled her hand, without any temperature.

"Lolo, I, I'm guilty, I should have come with you."

She didn't seem to want to be polite to him, so she got up and pulled him and walked out onto the balcony. On the national highway behind, the street lights are still dim.

She helped him to stand on the balcony, a red dress fluttering in the night breeze, and she turned around.

"In the Chinese New Year's Eve of that year, I climbed onto the balcony, and when I turned around, the man in black was ...... with a knife in his hand."

She didn't finish this sentence, the file of Zhao Shishi's case back then, Yi Tian had seen it in the Fenshui County Public Security Bureau during the day, and there were blood stains on the railing on the balcony, which belonged to Luo Ya's mother.

When Second Uncle Zhao saw Luo Ya at the corner of the street, her red tweed coat was covered with bloodstains, she was so small back then, she couldn't step on this railing in one step, she had to work hard to climb up again.

When she turned around, she must have seen the scene of Zhao Shishi frantically attacking her mother.

She said, "Brother Tian, come with me." ”

On the main road, there is no emptiness and silence.

She spoke calmly: "When I run out onto the road, I want to find something to attack, even if it's just a rock. I remember that there were a lot of stones on this road back then, but now, it is a smooth asphalt pavement. The man in black chased after me, and I had no choice but to run. But I'm not an athlete, and I'm not as lucky as I used to be, when a diesel car could come in the distance and knock the man in black to the ground. He quickly caught up with me, swinging a glittering dagger straight at me, and I fell to the ground, clutching the dagger with both hands, trying not to stab me so quickly, while shouting the name of Lu Zheng. ”

Over the years, Yi Tian has seen many victims, and when it comes to the process of being violated, he is always very emotional.

But Luo Ya, who was walking forward unhurriedly beside him, was surprisingly calm, as if he was telling someone else's story.

Lu Zheng arrived just in time, and he rushed up to snatch the dagger from the man's hand. The two of them scuffled together, and I was so frightened that it took me a long time to react and shout for help. Second Uncle Zhao's voice sounded by the window. The man in black heard the voice, turned and ran in that direction. ”

Luo Ya, who was walking side by side with Yi Tian, suddenly turned around and pointed in the direction behind him.

"That's the direction, the police should have gone there later, but they didn't find it. Chen Ming, director of the county public security bureau, said that the road leading to the direction of the four counties would have disappeared without a trace. When Second Uncle Zhao came, Lu Zheng fell to the ground holding his chest, I saw it, the dagger was in his chest at this time, and I was terrified. Fortunately, the second uncle was there, so he called the police and called a doctor. Really, Yi Tian, I don't know when that dagger pierced into Lu Zheng's chest. ”
