Chapter 68: The Night of Candles in the Cave Room

"It's the sun at dusk, but we think it's the dawn of dawn!"

In Xinghua Village, the sunset is still shining, a ray of sunlight turns from white to red, reflecting on a two-story small building, and the white tiles on the wall become blood-red and dazzling.

The remnant sun is like blood, cold and desperate. Gradually, that round of red sun, in the unwilling struggle, fell below the horizon, and the entire Xinghua Village became distant and hazy.

In front of the door of the small building, there are two red lanterns, and on the red lanterns, there are two happy words pasted on them, showing their teeth and dancing claws!

In the courtyard of the small building, the lights are colorful, and the crowd is full, congratulating and laughing, and jubilant!

A middle-aged man with thinning hair and a mouthful of big yellow teeth was constantly toasting, and his gaze, from time to time, looked at a room on the second floor, revealing a light of excitement.

In a room on the second floor, it was also red. Red bed, red gauze tent. Chen Xi stood in front of the window, also wearing red makeup.

Her hair was coiled up, and there was a blood-red slap mark on her pale face. She no longer shouted, no longer asked for help, she just quietly looked out the window, watching the red sun gradually fall into darkness, and her heart became as silent as water.

"Is this my fate? Daughter-in-law for a sloppy old man in his fifties? ”

The noise outside the window reached her ears, and she ignored it, as if it had nothing to do with her.

She still remembers that she was slapped by Liu Lao Er and fell to the ground, and the crowd of onlookers, not only did no one step forward to stop her, but they also felt that she deserved it. She still remembers that she struggled on Liu Laoer's shoulder and called for help, and the men, women and children who were onlookers did not have the slightest sympathy except for watching the excitement, and some people even thought she was ridiculous.

In their eyes, she was bought with money, so she should be a daughter-in-law obediently, and everything is taken for granted. If you resist, you don't know how to lift. They don't care who she is, they don't care if she's trafficked, they don't care what she thinks. She is just a poor girl from the mountains, and marrying here is her blessing.

Chen Xi will never forget the hideous smiles on those people's faces.

It wasn't that she didn't want to run away, but the door was tightly locked, and the window in front of her, the steel bars, cut off her hope.

"Fortunately, with you, I won't be afraid!"

Chen Xi held the Jade Guanyin on his neck tightly, and his gaze became firm.

Chen Xi moved and walked around the room. She came to the side of the bed and looked at the red futon, the red pillow. Especially on the pillow, there is a pair of colorful mandarin ducks, slanting their eyes and holding their heads proudly high, all of which stinged Chen Xi's nerves.

Not far from the bed, there was a table, on the table, there was a plate of meal that had already cooled.

"Brother Yuan, I promised you, you want to live well!"

Chen Xi picked up the plate and sat on the edge of the bed, a tear quietly fell, dripping into the meal, she didn't feel it at all, she took a bite, the meal was very cold, salty, and a little bitter.

"I eat, I want to live!"

Chen Xi gulped down, and with her tears, the food on the plate was swept away.

"Brother Yuan, you said that when you are full, you will have confidence, but why do I still feel that my heart is empty!"

She sighed, a little stunned.

"Is this my cave room candle night?"

Chen Xi looked around blankly and laughed at himself. Suddenly, in a corner, she saw a circle of wires, and next to the wires, there was a toolbox.

"It's a newly renovated room, and even the lights have just been installed!" Chen Xi walked over and opened the toolbox.

Her eyes froze, and her gaze fell on a utility knife. Chen Xi picked up the knife, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly had a little brilliance. She tucked the knife in her cuff, closed the toolbox, and sat down quietly on the edge of the bed.

The wind kept beating the window, and the red gauze tent on the bed swayed with the wind, and a trace of hair fell down, just covering the blood-red palm prints on Chen Xi's face.

She sat quietly, her face calm.

The wind continued to blow, the time passed slowly, the noise outside became less and less, the guests dispersed, and at this time tonight, there was silence.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

In Chen Xi's apprehension, heavy footsteps sounded, and her heart trembled violently. She knew that what was supposed to come was still coming, but she wouldn't accept her fate easily.

"Gah!"

The door opened, Liu Lao Er walked in, and saw Chen Xi sitting on the edge of the bed at a glance.

"Hey, hey! Daughter-in-law, I'm here! ”

His eyes flashed with a scorching light, with big yellow teeth and the smell of wine, he approached Chen Xi step by step.

"Don't come here!" Chen Xi stood up suddenly and shouted.

"Daughter-in-law, you don't have to be afraid, I'll be gentle! It won't hurt you! Liu Lao Er said, took a step forward again, and rushed towards Chen Xi.

"If you take another step, I will die in front of you immediately!" Chen Xi shouted again, took out the utility knife from his cuff, and put it against his neck.

"You!" Liu Lao Er was dumbfounded, feeling incredible, he couldn't understand why Chen Xi was like this. He paid, she was already his wife, and everything was right.

And in his opinion, the three southwestern provinces are too poor, what's wrong with marrying him with good food and drink? He thought that she was just acting at first, just like the daughter-in-law of the Wang family and the daughter-in-law of the Li family next door, when she first came, she cried and made trouble, and after a few beatings, she was honest, and finally lived a good life, gave birth to a child, and now she can't get rid of it if she wants to.

"You're already my person, won't let me go?" In a fit of anger, Liu Laoer's face became gloomy, he was not a good-tempered person, thinking about it, he took a step forward again.

"Liu Lao Er, you take a step forward and try it!" Chen Xi turned his heart sideways, his hand was slightly forced, the tip of the knife pierced her skin, and a drop of blood flowed out along the blade.

The blood was very red, stinging Liu Laoer's eyes, he was shocked, stopped his steps, and stopped a few steps away from Chen Xi.

"A few more steps back!"

Liu Lao Er hesitated for a moment, saw Chen Xi's calm face, and took a few steps back again.

Seeing that Liu Lao Er was far enough away, Chen Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but the utility knife in his hand was still squeezed tightly and refused to put it down.

"What the hell do you want? It's not like I want to run away again! Liu Lao Er panicked in his heart, "Let me tell you, here is at least twenty or thirty miles away from the town, and there is only one road to walk, and you can't run away if you want to!" My money can't be spent in vain! ”

"You can't want me to be me, but I have to be willing!" Chen Xi said in a deep voice, "I don't want to run, I just came here, you always have to give me time to adapt!" ”

"How long will it take? You're not going to fool me, are you? If it's ten days and a half months, I can't wait, find a wife, I can't sleep, and I will be laughed at by the neighbors. Liu Lao Er was patient, and his face was red and white.

"If you don't say, who knows? You said it, I can't run, I'm destined to be your person, why don't you give me a little time? Why rush? Chen Xi stared at him, his eyes became fierce, "Push me to be anxious, die in front of you, you will not only lose both people and money, but also go to prison!" ”

Chen Xi paused for a moment and continued: "Maybe it's okay for you to spend money to get a daughter-in-law, no one will care, even if someone knows, they will turn a blind eye, but if it's dead, such a big thing, do you think you can escape?"

"And what do you want?"

Chen Xi looked at Liu Lao Er and calmed down completely: "I said, give me a few days, I will give it to you willingly, even if you forcibly get me now, even if you have a child, I want to die, you can't stop it!"

Liu Laoer's expression kept changing, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded.

"I promise you, give me what you have in your hand!"

"No way!" Chen Xi shook his head, "You remember, unless I am willing, there are many ways to die, I can be killed or hanged, you can't force me!" When I think about it, I can live with you, have children for you, and help you do business! But in the future, you can't beat me, you can't be rough with me! ”

"What you said is true?" Liu Laoer's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help asking.

"Hmm!" Chen Xi nodded, "Why don't you go find me some hemostatic tape?" Do you want me to die? ”

"Oh! Oh! Liu Lao Er reacted that Chen Xi's neck was already dyed red.

As soon as Liu Lao Er walked out of the door, Chen Xi suddenly lost his strength, sat on the edge of the bed, and exhaled a long breath.

At this time, she felt a burning pain in her neck.

After a while, Liu Lao Er walked in with a basin of hot water.

"Come, daughter-in-law, I'll wash you, and then help you put tape to stop the bleeding!" Liu Lao Er's eyes were eager, staring at Chen Xi and said.

"Don't come here! I'll do it myself! You go out first! She pointed to the door and said in a trembling voice.

"I ...... Ay! Liu Lao Er hesitated for a long time and glanced at Chen Xi deeply, "Okay then, I'll go out!" You'd better think clearly as soon as possible, as long as you are obedient, I will be good to you, don't think about running away, otherwise, there will be your good fruit to eat! ”

"Boom!" The door was slammed shut.

Chen Xi looked at the basin of water, steaming, and suddenly a little in a trance.

She still remembers that during the earthquake, there was a person who carried her all the way from Beichuan to Chengdu. In a small village near Chengdu, a farmer's house, he also brought her a basin of hot water, soaked her feet, and helped her pinch her feet.

That day, he told her that he would guard her for the rest of his life.

Although that time was short, it was the most unforgettable memory in her heart. I don't know when she fell in love with him completely.

Thinking about it now, that time is like a lifetime away! At this moment, where that person is, she doesn't know, she only knows, he has been looking for her and taking her home.

The only thing she can do is to be strong and live strongly!

"Brother Yuan, I can only delay time, it's a while, you have to come quickly!"

The wind continued to blow, from east to west, from Shandong to Yucheng.

It was late at night, in the northeast corner of Chongqing, next to a pile of garbage pools. There was a man, a dog, in a flash! Beyond the garbage pond, a man and a dog have already left the city and gone out of the city, and in the dim light, their figures are getting longer and longer......
