Chapter 170: Stay Alive
I was so frightened that I shivered in the bed, and the screams stopped abruptly... I tried hard to prick up my ears to listen, but I couldn't hear anything other than the sound of firecrackers.
There were no strange sounds, and I even thought I was hallucinating, but the screams still echoed in my ears, and they were so real.
At that time, I was very timid. But the unknown and curiosity still tended to me to get out of bed and light the lamp. I pushed open the door and quietly stuck my head out.
When I saw the scene outside the house, I was completely shocked, my mother, with a sharp knife stuck in her back, lying on the ground motionless. Blood was all over the place, and even down the floor to my 'door', that is, at my feet.
My 'legs' went limp, and I sat down on the floor, my throat filled with a trembling gasp.
It was precisely because of my movement that I attracted the attention of "those people".
"Yo, there is a little guy hiding and not coming out." A man's voice came from outside.
I was so nervous, my eyes were full of panic, and I kept thinking of my mother lying in a pool of blood.
I looked through the crack in the open door and saw that outside the door, my father was being beaten by a group of people, and a man in his thirties, who was my enemy "Lee", I didn't want to mention his name, so let's call him Li for the time being.
Lee seemed to have seen me through the cracks, and with a terrifying smile on his face, I saw him walking towards me. It wasn't until he got close enough to me that I could barely see his face. It wasn't until later that I learned that this person was the same as my parents. Door's boss, who was a director at the time, but his secret identity was not clean, and he even had an affair with the underworld in Jianghai City, my parents didn't know much at first, they offended him when they were working in the city, and even reported him some misbegrieves of embezzlement, and the consequences were naturally serious, when they knew Li's background identity, they were so frightened that they asked for leave and ran to the countryside, wanting to avoid the limelight, but they didn't expect to be found by Li.
As you can imagine, an eight-year-old child doesn't know what to do when this kind of thing happens. Lee opened the 'door' and stood in front of me, looking at me condescendingly. My teeth were shivering, my mind was blank, and I didn't even have the strength to get up and run away and shout for help. He picked me up and grabbed me into the hall.
My father was beaten and covered in blood, but he still tried to stand up when he saw me, but he was kicked to the ground again as soon as he stood up. Lee grabbed my hair with his hand and pressed me in front of my father. He sneered and said, "I said, Lao Tian, do you regret it?" β
The father nodded desperately: "I know it's wrong, I know it's wrong, you let my son go, it's our husband and wife who offended you, and it has nothing to do with one of his children......"
Li raised his eyebrows and said, "Now that you know that you regret it?" It's late! Do you know that because of your stupidity, I was scolded by my superiors and 'spent' a lot of money to settle this matter? Now you know it's wrong, there's a jb 'hair' to use? β
The father trembled and said, "I can compensate you for whatever price you pay, I just ask you to let him go......"
"Pay me? You? Li raised his head and glanced around the dilapidated house in my house: "Just you?" What can I compensate? Phew! β
As he spoke, he spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm and spit on his father's face, and then stretched out his foot and stepped on his face hard, stomping on his face.
I finally burst into tears, slapping Lee with my hands. Li glanced at me and frowned: "I'm annoyed, let's slaughter this little rabbit cub first." With that, he threw me to a strong man with a knife next to him.
My father shouted my name when he saw this, and tried to get up desperately, but every time he was kicked to the ground by someone behind him.
Li Xiao pointed at him with a smile and said, "Hold him down, don't let him 'mess' move." β
Two big men with dragons and tigers pressed his arms behind his father, preventing him from 'messing' around. I was also pressed by the strong man with the knife, who waved the machete and kept gesturing on me, as if he was about to kill a pig.
In fact, even if he didn't press me, I couldn't resist at all, and my courage at that time was too small. I was not afraid of being embarrassed to say it, I felt that my 'pants' crotch was already wet, and I had no strength at all, so I could only watch the knife chop down at me.
And at this time, his father suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar, and he struggled even more violently, and the two men frowned, and clamped his arm so hard that no matter how much strength he had, he couldn't break free.
Li crossed Erlang's 'legs' and 'smoked' cigarettes leisurely, looking at us with a smile, as if he didn't take it seriously at all.
And the next move of their father shocked them all. The father's eyes gradually turned red, like a bull's body trying to push forward, his two arms were clamped from behind, but it still couldn't stop him from constantly trying to hit forward again and again, and those two arms gradually changed shape, and even the bones in the arms could be heard "click, click" sound.
The eyes of the two big men widened, and Li Ye finally threw away the cigarette butt and stood up suddenly: "My grass, is this guy crazy?!" β
Finally, there was another "click" sound, and the two arms that were held behind him were forcibly pulled by his father into an incredible angle, as if they were broken bones, and he also raised his head sharply, let out an earth-shattering roar, and rushed forward, finally breaking free from the restraints of the two people behind him.
I have never seen such a deafening roar when I have grown up, not even the lions and tigers I have seen in animals.
This sound directly 'pressed' everyone's eardrums at the scene, almost covering the sound of firecrackers outside.
I saw my father running towards me, I stopped crying, and looked at him in a daze, the two weak arms bent and deformed in a way that I will never forget for the rest of my life. The strong man who was pressing me was also stupid, looking at him blankly, and even forgetting the knife in his hand that had not yet fallen.
The father kicked hard and kicked the strong man who was still in a daze out with four feet in the air.
I looked at him pitifully, and was about to say something, but he had already bit me by the back collar with his mouth, and "bited" me in the same way that a lion was holding a cub.
That's when I realized that human teeth can be so heavy, maybe not, maybe that's a miracle.
My father grabbed me, took me to the window, shook my head hard, and threw me out.
Before I even had a chance to say the last word to him, I had already fallen weightlessly downstairs. I stared blankly at my father, who was standing next to the window, his mouth was open and closed, and I couldn't hear it under the firecrackers, but I could understand it, and the words wereβ
Stay alive!
My family lives in a rural mud house, built with other village workers, and my house is a four-story building, about ten meters above the ground.
At a height of more than ten meters, falling from here, it stands to reason that I have no chance of surviving at all.
But I did survive. I don't know if God won't let me die, or if I fell in some soft place like grass and branches. I don't know, because I had fainted the moment I hit the ground......
When I woke up again, I found myself lying in a hospital, quilts, sheets, and ceiling boards...... Everything was white, it was the first time I came to the city hospital, and next to me sat a middle-aged man in his forties, who was the director of an orphanage in Jianghai City, and the person who had raised me for ten years.
He told me that he used to be from that village, and that he happened to be back to the village that day, but he saw me fall from the window, so he hurried downstairs to pick me up and send me to the city hospital for rescue, so he happened to avoid Li and his gang who rushed down from the upstairs to find my body.
