Chapter 14: Nothingness

Hua Lao Hu raised his head and looked at the surrounding environment, the dense forest with no end in sight, silent, it seemed to be quiet, but in fact it was full of dangers. Everywhere you can't see, deadly traps and devouring beasts always hide.

He was alone, and he didn't dare to search around. He could only follow the road and look for it in the woods near the road, he had already walked back and forth several times, but he didn't find Lin Qingmei. He thought that Lin Qingmei must have gone a different way, or Lin Qingmei deliberately avoided him, it was getting dark, if he still couldn't find Lin Qingmei, he had to go back to help move first, so she could go.

Just as he was about to give up, an unusual sound from the depths of the jungle attracted him.

Hua Laohu listened sideways, pressed the axe on his waist, and cautiously walked in the direction of the sound.

Two crazy and deformed men, women kicking their feet wildly, the wound at the ankle was shocking. Although it was vague, Hua Laohu still clearly recognized that it was Lin Qingmei.

Any woman who encounters such a thing is more painful than death.

Hua Laohu's heart instantly softened, lit a fire, and made a terrifying sound in his mouth, scaring the two men away. He found Lin Qingmei's little baggage, and threw his clothes far away to Lin Qingmei, who was almost dead after slackening.

Regardless of whether Lin Qingmei has been substantially damaged at the moment, he knows very clearly that Lin Qingmei's once brilliant life can be said to be over.

Lin Qingmei's sin is not to death, in fact, her best place is to obey the arrangement of the Ou family, marry a suitable person, and live a good life, as long as she doesn't toss anymore, he is willing to let her live, he believes that Xia Ruixi will not want Lin Qingmei to die so miserably even if he hates Lin Qingmei again.

Leprosy is contagious. Even if he saves Lin Qingmei at this moment, he can't save Lin Qingmei from the past, and in this life, she can probably only survive in the depths of this dense forest.

Lin Qingmei looked at the deep sapphire blue sky vacantly, and her clothes fell on her body, which didn't bring a little warmth.

She couldn't understand what she had done wrong, why did God punish her like this? It's okay, the fault is that she is a helpless orphan girl who hopes for things that she shouldn't expect.

Not far away, it was Hua Laohu's depressed voice, he couldn't attack such a woman, and he couldn't leave her to fend for herself here, he muttered for a long time before saying, "Are you okay?" ”

Lin Qingmei didn't answer, even if she said a word at the moment, she felt that it was meaningless. Is she good? You can see it clearly at a glance, why ask her so hypocritically? Even if she hadn't lost her virginity, it was almost there, this body was unclean, it had been tainted by a disgusting smell, it had been touched by a horrible hand, and the place where it had been bitten on her body was still scorching, and she was alive rather than dead.

Hua Laohu turned his back and continued to persuade her: "It's better to live than to be captured by them to be a wife." If you don't get up again, and when their people come back, I can't control you. ”

These lepers, because they had to escape the torture of being burned to death, lived together in groups of three or five, lived in the mountains for a long time, lived a difficult life, easily did not dare to see people, and at the same time hated normal people, as long as someone was alone, they would always carry out some similar acts of robbery or snatching women when they were sure.

Hua Lao Hu was still a little nervous, on the one hand, he was afraid that the two would call the others, and on the other hand, he was also afraid that he would contract leprosy. If Lin Qingmei really didn't cooperate, he would really leave.

It was about this sentence that was caught by the leper to be his wife, which stimulated Lin Qingmei, and she sat up with a "whirl" and put her clothes on her body indiscriminately.

Hua Laohu thought that he had persuaded him properly, and continued: "You want to open some, you are lucky, run out like this, if it weren't for the thoughtful thinking of the fourth young grandmother, let me come out to find you, you ...... Alas......"

"If it weren't for the thoughtful thinking of the fourth young grandmother, let me come out to find you" infinitely stimulated Lin Qingmei, she stopped dressing, her eyes were like torches, and she roared with madness and endless hatred: "She asked you to come to me, didn't she?" You did it on purpose, right? You saw them following me, but you would not come out to help me. You deliberately let them abuse me, didn't you? So Xia Ruixi's little slut got her wish? What benefits did she give you to help her like this? ”

Hua Lao Hu was startled, this woman went crazy. He finally relented, how could he help her wrong? Liang'er is right, she is really a person who doesn't know what to do.

Lin Qingmei hated Xia Ruixi at this time, and she blamed Xia Ruixi for all her misfortunes. She felt that if it wasn't for Xia Ruixi to let Ou Qingjin go, if it wasn't for Xia Ruixi slapping her, if it wasn't for Xia Ruixi scolding her mercilessly, if it wasn't for Xia Ruixi who was pregnant with that little cub and wanted to hide here to give birth, if it wasn't for Xia Ruixi who stole all of Ou Qingjin's attention, how could she run out, how could she have ended up like this?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was another trap set by Xia Ruixi, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence? As soon as she came out, she was followed by those two people, and Hua Lao Hu didn't come early or late, but came when she was already humiliated.

The person who got into the tip of the horn was terrible, Lin Qingmei abandoned all reason and calmness, and shouted frantically: "You and Xia Ruixi, the adulterer and adulteress, are shameless and vicious, be careful of being damned!" ”

She shouted happily, but Hua Laohu's heart was being squeezed and humiliated like never before. Groundless, such notoriety, such sewage, splashed on Xia Ruixi's body, splashed on him, Hua Laohu's pupils shrank, his eyes were full of fierce light, and he raised the axe in his hand at Lin Qingmei, and said in a hoarse voice: "Shut up!" Or I'll hack you to death. ”

Lin Qingmei looked at him contemptuously: "Hack me to death? Cut? Cut? If you don't hack me to death today, I will go around and say that you and Xia Ruixi are a pair of adulterers and adulteresses, and that little cub is the evidence of the crime, I inadvertently broke your adultery, so I was mutilated like you! So you'd better hack me to death. Imagine what kind of eyes Wang Zhou will look at you? What will your savior, Ou Qingjin, think of you? I'm happiest about Xia Ruixi, a slut, who must have died worse than me. ”

Hua Laohu's eyes were rapidly bloodshot, his eyes flashed with crazy light, and he raised his axe high at Lin Qingmei, Lin Qingmei closed her eyes, come on, come on, it's all over when you come. She didn't need anyone's pity, and in nineteen years of life, she had had enough of similar pity.

Her life is not good. is not as good as Xia Ruixi, who was born in a wealthy family, loved by his parents, and has sisters and younger brothers. Her father was scattered all over the world, she lived with her mother at her uncle's house when she was very young, and she was disgusted and cold-eyed, if it wasn't for her mother's depression and death, her father would not have come back.

When her father came back, he took her to Xijing and bought her a little maid to take care of her, as if he wanted to make up for all the fatherly love he owed her before, almost 100 times smoother. She thought she was finally looking forward to the sunshine, but within a few years, he left her behind and went to another world, leaving her alone and starting to live under the fence again.

The teenage girl has already begun to fall in love, and every night, Ou Qingjin's smile is her support for the long night. Before, she humbly thought that as long as he took her with him, she could be a concubine regardless of her status and status, and she was also satisfied.

But since he and Xia Ruixi got married, she saw him holding Xia Ruixi's hand, smiling and smiling, watching flowers and admiring the moon in the courtyard, he took care of the pregnant Xia Ruixi, he was reluctant to give anything to anyone what Xia Ruixi gave him, and he couldn't allow anyone to say bad things about Xia Ruixi.

Only then did she understand that men could do this to women, and she fantasized countless times that the person next to Ou Qingjin was her and not Xia Ruixi.

She used Bi Zhen to test Xia Ruixi's bottom line, as long as Bi Jin became a room, she also had a chance, if Xia Ruixi was willing, she was willing to beg Xia Ruixi to accept her. But Xia Ruixi drove away Bijin, and she knew that the rumor that the Xia family lady did not allow her husband to take a concubine was true.

She just thought, aren't you allowed to take concubines? If Xia Ruixi can't give birth to a child, will anyone still tolerate a concubine? But Xia Ruixi was more cunning and cautious than she imagined, the child was safe and sound, Xia Ruixi even united with the shrewd and experienced Wu family to be in charge of the diet, and if the opportunity was missed, there would be no next time.

She wandered in the yard with a cheeky face countless times, wanting to look at Ou Qingjin more, even if he said a word or two to her, she was happy. , but Xia Ruixi stared so closely, Ou Qingjin refused to pay attention to her, he was as polite and gentle to her as ever - but she understood that he was merciful to her.

In fact, she has never needed pity, what she needs is equality, respect, but people always only give her pity, including Ou Qingjin, they only give her pity, and she, very sad, has to rely on these pity to live, and has to find ways to win these pity and sympathy. Only by relying on these pity and sympathy can she survive the white eyes and cynicism of people like Bai.

She is not convinced, she is the same as a person, the same is two eyes, a nose and a mouth, why is she inferior to a person? So she desperately wanted to follow Ou Qingjin here, as long as she was by his side, she would have a chance.

Although Ou Qingjin treated her as an uncle and sister-in-law along the way, she was never discouraged, and he would see her good one day. The moment she heard that Xia Ruixi's mother and son were safe, and seeing the ecstatic expression on Ou Qingjin's face, her heart was torn bloody.

Ou Qingjin watched the woman with sallow skin, messy hair, thick waist, and swollen legs every day and night, and he was still smiling. He flattered her, coaxed her to be happy, coaxed her to eat, combed her hair, scrubbed her clothes, changed her clothes and feet, clumsily changed the child's diapers, stayed up all night until her eyes were red, and did everything for her that only the girls did, the woman was at ease, and she didn't feel guilty at all, as if it was a matter of course.

She couldn't figure out how there could be such a woman in this world, the husband was the wife, it should be Xia Ruixi who served Ou Qingjin like this, why did it turn the other way around. If it was her, she would be reluctant to treat Ou Qingjin like this, she would definitely offer him the same way that day, holding it in the palm of her hand.

While she scolded Xia Ruixi for being unvirtuous, she was also envious and jealous of Xia Ruixi's good luck, how could all the good things be given to her Xia Ruixi? How nice would it be if she was the one who gave birth to Ou Qingjin? So the more frustrated she became, the more courageous she became.

Later, she knew that Ou Qingjin hated her proximity and disgusted her intimate tone and expression, but he just lowered his eyes, or pretended to be paralyzed, pretending not to see.

Perhaps it was because his father was so grateful for the warm hand he had given him, so he was trying to keep her father as decent as possible. Maybe she's done it too smartly. let him not seize the opportunity to refute and scold her, maybe he is unwilling to pierce this layer of paper, willing to give her a chance, and also satisfy Ou Qingying's heart. After all, as soon as this layer of paper is pierced, everyone will be even more embarrassed.

He thought he was saving face and room for her, but how much she hoped that Ou Qingjin would not leave her any face and leeway. If Ou Qingjin scolded her and pierced this layer of paper, she was desperate to let everyone know that she just liked him Ou Qingjin and wanted to marry him.

What is Xia Ruixi? What is Ou Qingying? What about the filial piety period? No one or anything could stop her determination, no one could stop her from approaching him.

But now that it's all over, her luck is still so miserable, she is willing to gamble and lose, she loses the bet.

Even if Hua Lao Hu was kind to her, she couldn't face her future life, hiding in the mountains and forests without seeing the day, and spent a lonely and sad life; She couldn't imagine that one day she would become the horrible appearance of those two men. If she was seen by Ou Qingjin, if she was seen by Xia Ruixi, she would rather die.

Therefore, letting the flower tiger kill her is the best way out and outcome. In the future, no matter whether Hua Laohu admits it or not, no matter whether this matter is really related to Xia Ruixi or not, she will let anyone, especially Ou Qingjin, as soon as she sees her Xia Ruixi, she will think of her Lin Qingmei, it was Xia Ruixi who instructed the people around her to kill her Lin Qingmei.

Lin Qingmei thought about it like this, even in the face of imminent death, she didn't feel pain or fear at all. She had a crazy, exhilarating feeling, just waiting for the flower tiger's axe to chop down.

She waited for a long time, but she didn't see the tiger's axe come down, and she didn't feel the painful pain.

She opened her eyes and saw Hua Laohu standing a few steps away from her, looking at her with a look of disgust: "Do you want to die?" Even if you want to die, you want to splash this basin of sewage on someone else's body? I almost fell for you. I tell you, I am impatient to kill you, and your blood will stain my hands. ”

Lin Qingmei felt that Hua Laohu would not kill her, and said in despair: "You'd better kill me, otherwise, I will desperately go and take Xia Ruixi's little cub away, and let him be the same as me, and let him become the appearance of those two people just now." ”

It seems to be a good decision to let Xia Ruixi and her little cub also contract leprosy, who let her harm herself? Lin Qingmei did what she said, got up from the ground, staggered towards the flower tiger, and smiled with bared teeth: "Let's go, let's go back?" ”

Hua Lao looked at her: "You are crazy. So I think you should be alive and let those two people take you as their wife. You're not human, you're a viper. ”

The axe roared out and smashed hard into the wound on Lin Qingmei's ankle, which hurt heartbreakingly, and Lin Qingmei fell to the ground hard, her leg was broken. The only chance to survive was also buried in her hands. But she doesn't regret it.

Hua Laohu tore off a piece of his clothes, wrapped the axe that fell on the ground, and glanced at Lin Qingmei who was crawling on the ground: "I won't kill you, I won't let you get your wish." ”

"You shouldn't have wanted to splash dirty water on me, let alone splash dirty water on the fourth young grandmother and the little master. Do you know what I hate the most? I'll tell you a story. ”

"Once upon a time, I lived with my mother, orphans and widows, and there were a few acres of thin fields and a few grass houses at home.

I desperately wanted to marry the Zhou girl in the east of the village, and the Zhou family said that if I could come up with a dowry of five taels of silver, I would marry her. So I left my mother and went out to work as a coolie for other people's families, I did what others didn't do, and I ate all the hardships that others couldn't bear, and finally I had enough money, and I happily bought a new dress for my mother and went home.

But when I got home, I found out that my uncle and aunt wanted my family's few acres of land, and while I was not at home, because my mother gave a beggar a bowl of rice, and accused her of being an adulteress, saying that she had stolen people and sunk her alive, and I had become a mongrel, and I had nothing but the few taels of silver on my body.

The eldest girl of the Zhou family went to see me quietly and told me that she had been married to the Wang family outside the mountain by her father. I was in a hurry, and I went to find her father's theory, and her mother scolded me for being a little bastard raised by a prostitute, and she dared to marry her daughter? In front of me, she fanned out and stopped her daughter with a few big-eared scrapers, stomped her feet and spit on her face, saying that she would sink into the pool and refuse to let her marry me, a bastard born of an adulteress.

On the day the eldest girl of the Zhou family got married, I set fire to my uncle's house, killed seven members of his family, cut off the heads of him and his wife, and hung them in front of the pool where my mother died to honor her. From then on, I went to the end of the world, until the famine struck, I walked with the hooligan team, and met Wang Zhou's again, and later, you know.

Hua Laohu looked at Lin Qingmei viciously: "What I hate most in my life is your hypocrisy of pouring dirty water on others for your own selfish interests and wanting to put people to death!" If you don't die tonight, you'd better avoid people, or you'll be burned to death, and you will be blessed. Don't try to hurt anyone, don't let me see you, or I'll make you die an ugly death. ”

Hua Laohu kicked Lin Qingmei's dagger that had been knocked aside by the two men to her side: "If I were you, I would rather let the beast eat me, or kill myself, it's better to have a long pain than a short pain." ”

The footsteps of the flower tiger gradually faded away, Lin Qingmei lay on the ground snoring and panting, I don't know how long it took, she heard that rustling sound again. Those people, seeing that the flower tiger was gone, came again.

She smiled bitterly, grabbed the dagger, and stabbed it into her heart: "Xia Ruixi, I curse you not to die well." Even if she died, she didn't want to endure the taste of being touched by those two men again, but it was too cheap Xia Ruixi.
