Chapter 61: Purgatory on Earth
Xiaohui hugged the woman at a loss and choked carefully.
"Mom, Xiaohui will accompany you, and you don't leave Xiaohui. Xiaohui and her brother will accompany their mother. ”
The woman gasped for breath, pinching her neck and seemed to be in great pain, as if she couldn't stand the pain anymore, and passed out after a while.
Ah Ci looked at the woman's condition indifferently, with extensive burns all over her body, because she had not received proper treatment, she had begun to erosive and suppurative, and the epidermal tissue was necrosis.
Rao is Ah Ci, who is used to seeing bloody scenes, couldn't help but take a breath, turned around and walked away.
Ah Ci went back earlier than Yu Fengmian thought, "Why did you come back so early today?" ”
Ah Ci: "It's nothing, so I'll come back first." ”
Yu Fengmian stared at her suspiciously, this seemed to be the first time that she seemed to be soft-hearted.
"Why?"
Ah Ci: "What why?" ”
"I always feel that your mood has become very different after you come back, can't you bear to do it?"
Tzu: "I went to their house. ”
Yu Fengmian: "And then? ”
Ah Ci: "His mother was lying in a hospital bed, burned, and had no money for treatment, and was in great pain. ”
Yu Fengmian smiled: "So you're sympathizing with them now?" But do you know that no one in this world deserves to die, and everyone has a reason to do a good thing or a bad thing. If you think about the people they have killed, which one of them really deserves to die? ”
Ah Ci was silent, Yu Fengmian was right, but when Ah Ci thought of that picture, he was not as ruthless as before.
Yu Fengmian: "If you change your mind, then it's good to go back now, I didn't want you to come here from the beginning." ”
Ah Ci: "No, Sister Arou's death has nothing to do with him, I must find out." ”
Yu Fengmian looked at her helplessly: "What a stubborn stinky girl." ”
Ah Ci tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled, then turned back to her bedroom.
The next day, Ah Ci went to Zheng Yixue's house again. Xiaohui came to open the door, and when she saw her coming again, she was a little unhappy.
"My brother said, I don't know you, so I asked you not to come in the future, why did you come again today?"
"Come and see, how is your mother?"
Xiaohui looked sad: "My mother is not very well, she has been unconscious, my brother gave my mother medicine, and invited a doctor to come over and give anti-inflammatory drugs, but the doctor said that it didn't work." It's best to take your mom to the hospital. ”
Ci: "Can you go in?" ”
Xiaohui bit her lip and thought about it, but finally let Ah Ci into the house.
Xiaohui poured water for her and said, "Sister, you better hurry up and be early, my brother is coming back soon, my brother's temper is not very good, if I find out that you are here again, I will definitely be very angry." ”
Ah Ci: "I'm not afraid of him, I'm looking for your brother." ”
Xiaohui: "You...... Did my brother take your things? ”
Ah Ci glanced at Xiaohui, thought for a while and said, "Yes, I took my things, and I want them back." ”
Xiaohui: "I'm sorry. I apologized to my sister on behalf of my brother, but my brother had no way to take other people's things, my brother didn't go to school, and he didn't have anywhere to ask for him, so I had to do this. ”
Ci: "It's okay, I just need to get the things back." ”
was chatting, suddenly the door was opened, only to see Zheng Yixue come in with breakfast in his hand, seeing Ah Ci, his brows frowned deeply, he put the breakfast on the table and dragged Ah Ci out of the door.
"Who the hell are you? What do you want to do? ”
Ah Ci stared at Zheng Yixue coldly, and his eyes stared at Zheng Yixue's back in a panic.
"Arou, do you know each other?"
Zheng Yize's face changed, "I, I don't know, I've never heard this person's name." ”
Ah Ci sneered: "You lie, you know her, you used to be in the same university as her, and you have bullied her with others." Later, she died. ”
Zheng Yixue stared at Ah Ci worriedly, and his voice trembled slightly: "Who are you from Ah Rou?" ”
Ci: "I'm her sister, Ci. ”
Zheng Yize rolled his throat, took a deep breath, and said, "What are you coming to me for?" ”
Ci: "I want to find the truth." ”
Zheng Yixue sneered: "I might as well tell you, I was just someone else's dog back then, really!" I just want to live well, can you understand? ”
Ci: "Whose dog?" ”
Zheng Yixue: "Since you can find me, then you should already know in your heart that if you have to make me pay, I admit it." But not right now. ”
Zheng Yixue looked back at the dilapidated bungalow and said, "You see, the current situation in my family, my mother's appearance, it is estimated that it will not last long, sister Xiaohui...... I'll find her a better home to adopt. ”
Ah Ci: "Where's your father?" ”
At the mention of his father, Zheng Yixue's face became extremely ugly, "It's gone, I took all the family's savings and ran away with other women." ”
Naturally, Ah Ci didn't fully believe what he said, "I will come again." ”
Zheng Yi chose to see her away, with a solemn expression. Ah Ci has been observing Zheng Yize's actions during this time, and found that he would go home at five o'clock in the afternoon, and would stay at home for three hours, cooking dinner for his sister before going out.
That night, Ah Ci suddenly noticed that the gray window of their small attic was knocked from time to time, two or three times......
At first, I thought it was a rat or the sound of the wind blowing, but after half an hour, the sound stopped.
And the sound is irregular, not like the wind or rats would make.
In the next few days, Zheng Yi did this almost every day, and the window in the attic rang from time to time.
One day, after Xiaohui went out, Ah Ci quietly unlocked and entered their home, which was very old and easy to open.
Ah Ci glanced at the woman in the room, still as she had seen that day, but it seemed that her breath was much weaker than that day.
When the woman heard the sound of the door opening, she thought it was her daughter Xiaohui who had returned, and said weakly: "Xiaohui, pour me a glass of water, Xiaohui ......"
Ah Ci thought about it, poured a glass of water and went in, the woman was semi-unconscious, and she didn't realize that it was not her daughter Xiaohui who walked into the room.
Putting down the water, Ah Ci quickly left the woman's room.
It is said that it is an attic, that is, a layer of waterproof tiles has been added to the roof, and there are no stairs to go up, but there is a ladder under the skylight.
Ah Ci looked at the dim attic, and she couldn't see the darkness at the bottom, but she didn't feel any fear, and climbed up the attic with a ladder.
The smell of the attic was a little strong, very dim and barely let in a little light, and the small windows on the four sides were also tightly covered by a layer of black cloth.
Ah Ci took out his mobile phone and took a photo, and when he saw the two people hanging in front of him, he gasped hard.
It was a man and a woman, who looked to be in their forties, with their eyes gouged out, unable to perceive any light, and not wearing a single inch on their bodies.
The two babbled and made unidentified sounds, and vaguely saw that their mouths were empty and their tongues had been cut out.
Ah Ci slowly approached them, and they seemed to hear someone approaching, and they could hear the footsteps unlike before.
At first, they became very emotional, as if begging Ah Ci to save them.
Ah Ci looked around, lifted the black cloth from the window, and could see the corner where he was hiding.
It seems that he will have to change places to hide in the future, so as not to be afraid that one day Zheng Yi chooses a whim and wants to see the scenery outside here.
Ah Ci looked back at the man again, and found that his facial features looked somewhat similar to the Zheng family brothers and sisters, so it was not difficult to guess that this man was Zheng's father.
As for why they imprisoned Zheng's father and the woman here, Ah Ci didn't know, but there was a faint guess.
It's just that I didn't expect Zheng Yixue's methods to be so ruthless. Ah Ci sneered, thinking that Xiaohui was probably coming back soon, so she turned around and left.
The two of them heard the footsteps of Ah Ci leaving, and let out a sound that seemed to cry, with endless despair.
Ah Ci said softly: "If you do something wrong, you should be punished." ”
Ah Ci had just left the Zheng family, and Na Xiaohui bought some vegetables and went home.
One day, Zheng Yixue returned home full of injuries, and he didn't know if he had a fight with someone, Xiaohui helped him into the house while crying.
Zheng Yixue said helplessly: "Don't cry so loudly, you should be worried if your mother hears it." ”
Xiaohui gritted her teeth and swallowed the choked sound into her stomach, and asked him in a low voice, "Brother, why are you so seriously injured?" ”
Zheng Yixue said indignantly: "It's not that Zhao Laohu, who snatched all the money I got this month on the grounds of collecting protection money, that damn guy, one day I will make him regret it!" ”
Xiaohui: "Then what about my mother's medicine this month?" ”
Zheng Yize clenched his hands into fists: "Don't worry, I will definitely raise money to buy medicine for our mother." ”
"Brother, what are you going to do with those two people upstairs?"
"And he hung them like this until he died."
"And what about the dead?"
"If you're dead, you're dead, let the rats eat them, and when they dry up, they become dried corpses! Don't think about reincarnation in this life. ”
Xiaohui trembled, at a loss: "Brother, I'm afraid." ”
Zheng Yixue: "Don't be afraid, my brother won't let you live like this for the rest of your life, and when my brother arranges everything here, my brother will send you away." ”
Xiaohui shook her head: "No, I don't want to go anywhere, I just need to follow my brother." ”
"Fool, what can you do with me, I can't give you anything, you still have to study in the future, and you have to live well."
During this Chinese New Year, the police were very strict, and Zheng Yixue had no way to start and look for new prey. After another ten days, the food in the house was about to run out.
Zheng Yi chose to scold that Zhao Laohu a thousand times one day, that bastard, if he hadn't robbed him of his money, would he have fallen to this point?
When I got home, I saw Xiaohui bring out all the food from the kitchen, and when she saw a plate of stir-fried vegetables on the table, Zheng Yixue looked puzzled, "Where did you get the money to buy meat to eat?" ”
Xiaohui was a little scared and said, "Yes, it's that young lady...... She gave. ”
Zheng Yixue was stunned: "Which young lady?" ”
Xiaohui: "It's the one who often comes to my brother, she doesn't seem to be a bad person." ”
Zheng Yixue angrily dropped his chopsticks: "You know a fart!" She doesn't look like a normal person! ”
Those eyes are terrifyingly cold! A normal person. Where would you have such a pair of eyes!
Xiaohui was about to cry, Zheng Yi chose to rely on his sister for his life, and he couldn't see that she was wronged and sad, so he couldn't help but say softly: "How much money did she give you?" ”
Xiaohui took out more than 1,000 yuan from her pocket and handed it to Zheng Yixue, "I bought rice and vegetables at home, and I bought medicine for my mother, I have spent more than 100 yuan, and this is the rest." ”
Zheng Yixue counted the money and put it in his pocket, Xiaohui picked up the chopsticks and stuffed them into his hand: "Brother, you can eat quickly, otherwise it should be cold again." ”
Zheng Yixue glanced at Xiaohui. didn't refuse again, the big thing was to eat the meal first, and after eating the rest, Zheng Yizhi took it to the attic, he put the two people down, they couldn't run away.
Because his legs had long been broken, he could only crawl on the ground, eating the food on his plate like a dog.
Zheng Yixue squatted down and looked at the two of them, smoking a cigarette and sneering: "Do you know why I didn't cut off your ears?" I'm just going to make sure you can hear me well. ”
He flicked the cigarette ash and let out a long sigh: "I don't believe in retribution, if there is really retribution in this world, then my mother will be harmed like that by you." How are you still alive and well? Since God doesn't punish you, then I can only do the right thing for heaven and seek justice for my mother. ”
"Don't worry, I won't kill you, I will let you live well and live until the day when you die naturally, but depending on your situation, it is estimated that you will not live too long."
He finished his cigarette, took his plate, got up, and left the attic.
The next day, Ah Ci went to Zheng's house again, and just after leaving, he was suddenly photographed behind the door.
Ah Ci looked back and saw that Zheng Yixue was already standing behind him. It seems that he deliberately waited for her here today.
Zheng Yixue: "The money, we used it, I can't pay it back to you now, let's say, what do you want to ask?" ”
Ci: "My sister's death." ”
Zheng Yixue: "Arou is very beautiful and has a good temperament, and I have been helped by her. ”
When Ah Ci heard this, her eyes were bloodshot, and she stared at him hatefully, "Then why did you kill her?!" ”
Zheng Yixue: "I didn't have a choice, they gave me money to spend, so that I could spend those three years in school safely." So I became a lackey of their people, and I did whatever they told me to do. ”
Ah Ci gritted his teeth and said, "You should die." ”
Zheng Yixue sneered: "That's right, I deserve to die, but do you think I'll be afraid of death?" I know you're not so kind to help me, and I'll tell you everything I knew back then. ”
Zheng Yixue paused, and slowly recalled what Arou had experienced back then.
Arou is undoubtedly a very popular girl, with a sweet appearance, a lot of laughter, and excellent in learning. He is also very willing to help others.
Many boys like Ah Ci, which is something that everyone knows, so she has attracted envy and bullying like this.
Among them, Sun Jingyi is a girl who often leads people to bully Arou.
At first, Arou was very tolerant, and Sun Jingyi didn't go too far, and once Sun Jingyi bullied her, Cen Jin would come forward to protect her.
Sun Jingyi was jealous of Cen Jin, not only because Cen Jin had a perverse temperament, but also because his family was rich and powerful, and the Youth Gang listened to his arrangement.
Later, Cen Jin suddenly began to change his attitude towards Arou one day. Sun Jingyi began to bully Arou more and more unscrupulously.
There are many theories in this, some people say that Cen Jin confessed to Arou and was rejected. Some people also said that Cen Jin saw Arou with her new boyfriend, found trouble with the boy, and forced Arou to date him, but Arou rejected him fiercely.
Some people also said that Arou was originally Cen Jin's horse, but she was too good at pretending, so she hid it well, and Cen Jin just didn't like her anymore.
Some people also saw the scene of Cen Jin and Sun Jingyi kissing...... So. What the truth is, no one knows.
But Cen Jin was like going crazy and began to torture Ah Rou.
Ah Rou was treated and bullied by those people without humanity, and it was completely Cen Jin secretly fueling the troubles and indulging Sun Jingyi to take the lead in doing evil.
Cen Jin took those boys to play with her more than once, and also filmed the process in a wicked way to force Arou to watch.
Later, Arou became pregnant, but she didn't know who the child's father was.
This matter was suppressed by the school, but Arou was asked to drop out, and not long after Arou dropped out, she committed suicide in depression.
In fact, Arou has been depressed for a long time, and it has reached a very serious stage.
Zheng Yixue: "I know. That's all. I haven't touched your sister, but I'm a sinner, and I confess my guilt. ”
Ah Ci: "Sun Jingyi is dead, and the end is very miserable. ”
Zheng Yixue's face was pale, and he was stunned for a while: "I don't need to say it, I probably guessed that your eyes are the same as mine." ”
Ah Ci sneered: "Where is the same? ”
Zheng Yixue: "It's just as cold, bloodthirsty...... It's a pair of eyes that have killed people. ”
Ah Ci: "I've never killed anyone, and my hands haven't had a drop of blood. ”
Zheng Yi stared at her suspiciously: "Really? ”
"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not." Ah Ci turned his face away: "You know, right? There is a price to pay for doing something wrong. ”
Zheng Yixue: "I have never escaped the consequences that I have to bear. ”
Tzu: "No matter what your troubles are, no matter what your reasons are. ”
Zheng Yixue said calmly: "Living is like purgatory, what is the point of opening your eyes every day and seeing endless darkness?" ”
Ah Ci left without looking back, it snowed heavily that night, the Chinese New Year's Eve reunion dinner, Xiaohui waited for his brother for a night, but he did not return.
Early in the morning, the neighbor's uncle slammed the door, and Xiaohui stepped forward and opened the door: "Uncle Li? ”
"Xiaohui, your brother ...... him"
Xiaohui's heart tightened, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes: "What's wrong with my brother?" ”
"Go and see. Your brother was lying in the alley, he was stabbed several times, and his blood was drained, I'm afraid it was ...... Not really. ”
Xiaohui ran towards the alley that Uncle Li said, and when she rushed there, there were already many people around.
Xiaohui squeezed into the crowd and saw Zheng Yixue lying in a pool of blood.
His pupils were dilated, his face was pale, and the blood around his body stained the falling snow red, and he lay there motionless, his eyes wide.
"Brother! Brother!! Xiaohui rushed forward and hugged him, crying loudly: "Brother...... Don't leave Xiaohui behind. Please, Please, don't die! ”
At this time, the police also rushed over, saying that they had been killed in a robbery, and that their wallets were empty, and there was not a dime left.
The neighbor kindly sent the body home for Xiaohui, Xiaohui looked at the person covered with a white cloth on the ground, and whispered: "Brother, you said before, no matter where you go, you will take Xiaohui with you, and you will never let Xiaohui be bullied." ”
"Xiaohui really hates. Brother, you missed your appointment. But don't be afraid, Xiaohui will accompany you right away. Xiaohui lay quietly beside her brother and lay down for an afternoon.
In the past, in winter, she was very afraid of the cold, and her brother would roll up the quilt and sleep in his arms, so that it would soon be warm.
"Brother, are you cold? It must be cold to lie in the snow like that and lie down all night, right? Xiaohui hugs you, are you a little warmer? Xiao Hui choked up while holding the already cold corpse.
At this time, my mother's voice came from inside the house: "Xiaohui." Xiaohui, ah......"
"Brother, my mother called me, I'll go in and have a look." Xiaohui got up and walked to the bedroom.
The mother's voice was very weak, and she asked, "I had a nightmare that your brother had an accident, why hasn't your brother come back yet?" ”
Xiaohui stretched out her hand and clasped her mother's hand: "My brother is back, he is just very tired and tired, and he has fallen asleep." ”
"Oh...... Did he work the late shift again yesterday? ”
Zheng Yixue has been lying to his mother and has two serious jobs to reassure her.
Xiaohui: "Mom, my brother can't wake up anymore." ”
The mother was stunned for a moment, her eyes were filled with tears, and it was clear, "Your brother lied to me, I vaguely know......"
"Mom, our family wants to be together forever and not separated, okay? It's like when I was a kid. ”
Mother raised her hand with difficulty and stroked Xiaohui's hair: "Mom and your brother, waiting for you over there." ”
Xiaohui laughed: "Okay, Xiaohui will pass soon." ”
Her mother's eyes widened with tears in her eyes, and she died at one o'clock in the morning. Xiaohui took the newspaper and wrapped a fruit knife and hid it in a thick cotton coat, and stepped on the snow deep above her calf and went out in the early morning.
Xiaohui came to the den where the gangsters gathered, and the night was very dark and cold.
She overhears the conversation of the gangsters who are hiding in the shadows.
"Then Zheng Yixue is dead."
"It's not good to die, he used to be very domineering, and when he dies, the brothers can still eat more."
"I heard that the night before yesterday, the dog and Lao An's gang robbed a little girl, from out of town. The little girl didn't have any money on her, and she said that her wallet had been scratched. ”
According to some of the characteristics provided by the little girl, the dog and Lao An knew that it was Zheng Yi who chose the dog thing, and turned back to him to ask for money. It is also well deserved. ”
Xiao Hui's eyes were as dark as deep, she tightened the knife in her hand and turned around and went back quietly.
Xiaohui had no money to bury her mother and brother, and the neighbors looked at her pitifully, so she made up a little and sent it to the crematorium for cremation, Xiaohui brought back two jars of ashes and put them in the attic.
Xiaohui put the two down a little, knelt on her knees, and said coldly, "Dad, brother and mother are dead." It's all your fault and this aunt's, you have to kneel and admit your mistakes until the day you die. ”
Xiaohui showed a weird smile: "Wait until I get revenge." I can find my mom and brother. That young lady is really cunning! My brother is right, she is really a bad person. ”
