Chapter 54: Warmth in the Next Life
"My youth, my love, my lover, everything, I'm gone. Back? There's no going back. Xu Wen turned her face to look at the old man and smiled. Then, under everyone's gaze, something terrible happened.
Xu Wen held the glass bottle high, her head slightly upward, and the transparent liquid in the glass bottle flowed into her body along her throat. Almost everyone can hear the sound of strong acids eating away at their skin.
The glass bottle fell to the ground, the glass shards scattered, and the liquid on the ground tumbled and emitted wisps of white smoke. It all happened in the light of light, and no one had time to stop it, and no one could take their eyes off it. At this time, I went to see Xu Wen again, she was already choking her throat in pain and rolling on the ground. Because of the great pain she felt when she was ingested the strong acid, the glass bottle slipped out of her hand. When the bottle slipped off, some of the strong acid in the bottle spilled onto her face. At this moment, she really has everything gone, her appearance burned beyond recognition by strong acid, and her throat and internal organs completely corroded by strong acid.
Xu Wen still has a little living breath, but this breath can only bring her pain. She kept writhing and rolling on the ground, and the strong acid liquid left on the ground touched her skin, which made her feel heart-rending pain again and again.
Everyone else was shocked by the scene in front of them, and they all watched the fall of Xu Wen's life in a daze. Even if they want to do something, it won't help, though. The old man who saw everything fainted, and the young policeman on the side immediately supported the old man and found a chair for the old man to sit down. The older policeman immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed the emergency number. Wang Shen looked at Xu Wen's situation, and all around her body was a strong acidic liquid. Wang Shen looked around the office, immediately found a long blanket, rushed to Xu Wen's side, wrapped Xu Wen, and pulled her away from the corrosive liquid.
Xu Wen's body writhed on the ground a few times, and then gradually calmed down. This time it was a complete peace, and it was to give myself back to the world. Wang Shen looked at Xu Wen's tragic situation, and an inexplicable sadness welled up in his heart. The best things in the world can become the most torturous weapons. Wang Shen picked up the phone and notified the police station.
After Wang Shen finished the call, the old man sat in a chair, still in a semi-comatose state. And Wang Shen and the three of them also moved a chair and sat on the chair. The chairs of the four people were placed in exactly a semicircle. And in the middle of the semicircle, lay Xu Wen, who had lost her breath. And Xu Wen's body was still covered with the blanket that Wang Shen had just found. Everyone looked at the corpse in front of them in silence and did not say a word. It's like everyone is having a farewell ceremony. Although, no one knows what exactly they are saying goodbye to.
Finally, the sound of police car horns can be heard downstairs. However, it was the doctor in the white coat who rushed forward first. The atmosphere of silence and silence was broken, and the psychiatric clinic suddenly became noisy again.
"You send Grandma home first." Wang Shen was the first to get up from his chair, looked at the young policeman with a cold gaze, and gave an order. When the young policeman heard the order, he immediately got up from his chair, walked to the old man's side, and helped the old man up.
"Grandma, I'm so sorry to frighten you. Rest assured, we'll take care of the rest. Wang Shen walked to the old man's side, held the old man's hand and whispered a few words of comfort. The old man's eyes were extremely hollow, and he did not respond to Wang Shen. However, the old man was finally able to stay awake. She heard Wang Shen's words and nodded slightly. Wang Shen looked at the back of the old man leaving and sighed.
"Lao Li." Wang Shen called out to the older policeman.
"Team King." The older policeman answered.
"You find a psychologist in our team to follow up on this old man's condition and do psychological counseling for a period of time. Otherwise, I'm worried that something will go wrong with her. ”
"Okay, don't worry, I'll do it tomorrow."
While Wang Shen and the others were talking, the doctor had already finished examining Xu Wen. The results of the examination were obvious, and he was dead. After the police who came in later said hello to Wang Shen, they continued to collect evidence from the psychological clinic. Wang Shen stood at the door, looking at everything that was being "lively" in front of him, and fell into a slight contemplation. After today, this place has only been deserted for a while.
"Team Wang, look at this." A policeman delivered a letter to Wang Shen.
Wang Shen routinely asked the people around him for a pair of plastic gloves, and then took the letter. There was no handwriting or signature on the envelope. "Where did you find this letter?" Wang Shen looked at the policeman next to him and asked.
"I found it on that desk." The policeman pointed to Xu Wen's desk.
Wang Shen nodded, opened the envelope, and there was a piece of paper stuffed inside, Wang Shen guessed that it should be Xu Wen's notes. Wang Shen carefully took out the piece of paper and wrote:
As I write these words, I know that I have lost the possibility of starting over. When I was in school, the head teacher always told us that it was difficult to buy regret medicine, and it was impossible to start over when time passed. At the time, I thought these words were annoying and earthy, but now that I have experienced them myself, I feel that they are wise sayings.
I was born into a rural family with a younger brother in addition to me. In the rural areas, as you know, the ideology is backward, and the preference for sons over women is serious. Since I was a child, my parents gave all the sustenance and love to my younger brother, and all I got was scattered ancillary feelings. When I was a child, I didn't dare to speak up when I was sick, because I was afraid of seeing my parents' complaining eyes. When I was a child, I saw the meat in the food, and I didn't dare to move the chopsticks even if I wanted to eat it. Because I know that none of this stuff is exclusive to me. Occasionally, if I could get a piece of meat, I would immediately devour it for fear of being snatched away. However, I do not resent all this, because it is my life.
But I don't accept my fate, I want to change my fate, I want to get out of this backward place. So, no matter how hard it is, I try to study hard at all times. Finally, after more than a decade of hard work, an admission certificate was enough for me to get out of that place.
When I was in college, I had very few friends, probably because I was a child and my living environment made me lose the ability to trust others. Loneliness, on the contrary, makes me feel safer. Until I met my senior, Song Mu. He was the one who made me fall in love at first sight, and he was the one who let me know that I could love boldly with confidence. But only today did I realize that I seemed wrong, and I was so completely wrong.
The moment my senior's breathing stopped, my heartbeat seemed to stop at the same time. In an instant I understood how selfish and narrow the love I gave him from beginning to end. I looked at his corpse and hated myself for knowing too late.
I leave this letter as a farewell to this world. I hope that in the next life, I can live a little warmer.
