Chapter 015: The Mystery Forest of the Orphanage
The monster turned back suddenly, turned around and ran away excitedly. It's the same whistle again!
After Ah Ci was sure that he was far away, he was really tired, and dragged Mei Su out of the tree hole, lying on the grass in a large shape, watching the sunlight gradually penetrate the dense leaves, she unconsciously closed her eyes and fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was almost dusk, and Ah Ci was so shocked that he had to get out of the forest before it was completely dark.
She glanced at Meisu not far away, and saw a flock of scavenging crows perched next to her. Ah Ci broke a branch and drove the crows away.
She picked up Meisu, gritted her teeth and continued to walk, and finally, she saw an endless sea of flowers, which Ah Ci had not seen for a long time.
She carried Misu on her back and walked to the sea of flowers in disbelief, and the dusk of the setting sun cast an orange light and shadow, and the sea of flowers was connected to the orange dusk.
Ah Ci buried Mei Su here, there was no tombstone, only a new piece of soil, she took off the crystal hairpin on her head and buried it on the grave.
"Meisu, I can't accompany you anymore, you go to Sister Arou, she must be very lonely and want to find someone to talk to her."
She's leaving, and there's something important to do.
The town at the foot of the mountain was already brightly lit, and Ah Ci had exhausted all the strength in his body when he walked to the town, and he fainted on the ground and did not wake up.
She couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality, she seemed to see her parents again, and she was woken up in her sleep by a suppressed cry.
It's mom crying...... Did Dad hit Mom in the middle of the night again? She crept up and skillfully walked through the corridor to her parents' door, and saw through the cracks what was going on inside.
Dad was doing strange things on top of Mom, he pulled her hair hard, slapped her face in shame, and scolded angrily: "Laugh! Smile at me!! Right...... Just laugh. ”
Mom smiled, as gently as she usually did to them, but there were tears in her eyes, and there was nothing left of the hollow.
"Ah Ci! Ah Ci ...... Come here. ”
Ah Ci looked back and saw Sister Ah Rou standing at the dark end of the corridor, waving at her.
"Sister Arou." Ah Ci slowly walked towards Ah Rou at the end of the darkness like a demon.
"Ah Ci come here, I'll take you away, my sister will protect you, and my sister will take you out of this dirty world."
Ah Ci handed out his hand, and when Ah Rou took it over, Ah Ci suddenly shook her off and shook his head: "I can't leave yet, Ah Ci still has to find out those real murderers for my sister and punish them!" ”
"Ah Ci, don't you want a sister? It's lonely for my sister to walk alone. ”
Ah Ci looked at her helplessly, "Ah Ci can't go, Ah Ci wants revenge." Sister Arou, you see, it's dawn. ”
They looked up at the same time, and a ray of sunlight oozed from the dark overheads, and Arou's figure dissipated in the air, and the room disappeared together as if it had turned into a bubble phantom.
When Ah Ci opened his eyes, he found himself lying in a very simple adobe house. The sun was already shining outside the cobweb-covered wooden window.
The mottled wooden door was pushed open, and an old woman in her seventies and eighties walked in with porridge in her hand.
Seeing that Ah Ci woke up, he put the porridge in his hand on the table next to him, "Are you awake?" I picked you up at the foot of the hill behind the house, and I don't know what happened to you, so I brought you back to my house first, are you hungry? ”
Now Ah Ci is really hungry and crazy, so after taking a few sips of the porridge on the table, her stomach is much more comfortable, and her body is warmer.
"Thank you, mother-in-law." Ah Ci's voice was hoarse, and the old woman walked to her bed with a cane, and looked at her sprained foot, which was plastered, and Ah Ci felt less painful.
The old woman didn't ask much, but said, "If you don't have any other place to go, stay here first." ”
So, Ah Ci stayed at the old woman's house.
The old woman has no relatives, she lives alone, and she goes out to pick up garbage every day during the day, and sends the garbage to the garbage collection station in exchange for a few yuan of living expenses.
One day, Ah Ci wanted to do something for her mother-in-law, which could be regarded as repaying her for saving her life, so she fetched water and found a rag to clean up the house for her.
The house was two bedrooms, a kitchen and a hall, and Ah Ci cleaned up her mother-in-law's house before she began to clean up her own house.
While wiping the table, a yellowed black-and-white photo inadvertently fell out of the crack, and Ah Ci was stunned for a few seconds, picking up the black-and-white photo that had fallen on the ground and looking at it.
The woman in this photo...... It turned out to be Dean He! There was also a man standing next to Dean He, and his mother-in-law was standing in front of him, smiling happily and warmly at the camera.
