Chapter 023: Bones Left in the Desert
Ah Ci threw the notebook into the messy pile of tools, closed her eyes and slept for a while, and when she heard footsteps outside, she slowly opened her eyes.
Tong Yan came back, walked up to Ah Ci, and gave her a bag of biscuits.
Ah Ci tore open the bag of biscuits and ate some unhurriedly, it was too dry.
She glanced at Tong Yan who was casual and asked, "Why is Dean He so good to you?" This is not the first time Ah Ci has asked this question.
And this time, Ah Ci wanted to hear the answer from Tong Yan's mouth.
Tong Yan was unprecedentedly dignified, "She killed her mother." ”
Ah Ci: "Then let me ask another question, who is Dean He?" What do you call her in private? ”
Tong Yan: "Call her Dean He." ”
Ah Ci was a little annoyed: "She's your grandmother!" Monsters are your daddy. ”
Tong Yan's expression became hideous: "I don't want them!" All I need is Mommy! I just want Mom!! ”
"You still want revenge?"
"I want revenge." Tong Yan said word by word.
Ah Ci grinned, "How are you going to take revenge?" ”
Tong Yan: "She killed my favorite mother, then I will let her favorite person chop off her head and body and put it in the jar, sister, do you say it's okay?" ”
Ah Ci looked expectant: "Great! Miso will be happy too. ”
Ah Ci ate the biscuits and didn't feel hungry anymore, but woke up in the middle of the night, so she got up to find water to drink.
Confused, she went out into the yard and wanted to fetch water from the well to drink.
As soon as he picked up the bucket, suddenly a faint and delicate voice came from behind him, "Do you want to drink water?" ”
Ah Ci was taken aback, after all, she was no longer from the orphanage, and it would be dangerous if they found out.
She glared and looked back, only to see a disabled girl in a wheelchair.
She had an impression of this girl, and although she had never spoken, the eyes of the helpless people who begged her for help when she first saw her in the bathhouse were still vivid.
Seeing that she had no malicious intent, Ah Ci made a silent gesture, and the girl smiled and followed her in the same gesture, and then handed Ah Ci a water cup with warm water in her hand.
Ah Ci hesitated for a moment and took it in his hand, raised his head and drank it, and then handed the water cup to the girl.
With a faint melancholy look between her eyebrows, the girl asked, "You are Ah Ci, right?" ”
Ah Ci paused and answered softly.
The girl smiled lightly: "I know you, I noticed you the first day you came here." ”
Ah Ci buried her head and looked at her legs, "Your legs, what's wrong?" ”
Tears welled up in the girl's eyes, "Car accident, on the way to the vacation, the family encountered a car accident, my parents died, only I survived and was sent here, my legs can no longer walk." ”
Ah Ci was silent and did not speak, and the girl said, "I can meet you here tonight, maybe it is fate." ”
"When I first lost my parents, I really felt that I couldn't go on, and I thought it would be better to go with them, leaving me alone in the world. Later, I was sent here, and the volunteer aunts in the town were very enthusiastic, and they said that in the future, they would take care of me instead of my parents, and they would be my mothers. ”
"I finally saw new hope in my gloomy life, and I also regained the courage to live, they were really good at the beginning, and during the holidays, they would take the children to their homes to feel the warmth of home."
"But one day, all the superficial appearances slowly changed......"
Ah Ci suddenly looked up at her, and the girl smiled sadly, "My relatives, I don't necessarily end well in bed if I am sick for a long time, where are there any really good people in this world?" Most of the time people are helpless in life, I just want to live with dignity. ”
The girl let out a long sigh and said to Ah Ci, "Thank you for listening to me so much, thank you very much." ”
Ah Ci wanted to say, 'No thanks,' but she didn't say it in a hoarse voice until the girl slowly disappeared from her sight.
Ah Ci went back to the grocery room, and at about four o'clock in the morning, she seemed to hear the sound of heavy objects falling from a height.
When she quietly rushed to look, there were already many people in the courtyard of the orphanage, and it was the girl who talked to her last night who had committed suicide by jumping off the building.
