That day, after Luo Feng asked his subordinates to take Chen Shiming away, Melinda did not leave Xuezhuang Village immediately.

She went back to the room where only the woman was left.

The woman was still slumped on the ground.

His face was pale and his expression was in a trance.

As if everything that happens in this world has nothing to do with her.

Although the police took Chen Shiming away in front of her, she didn't even react at all.

The whole person became so numb, no different from a puppet.

- How could a person with feelings suddenly become like this?

There was only one answer: she couldn't accept the fact that she didn't know how to respond to herself.

Affection is deep, is such a performance.

Melinda sat down beside her.

Sit on the floor.

Silent, silent.

Actually, Melinda wanted him to cry hysterically once, or make a fuss like a shrew.

As long as she can vent, she can release her inner feelings.

But she didn't do anything.

This indifferent silence is terrifying.

Because it's a precursor to the volcano being ready to go.

In other words, this is the introduction of her to a certain extreme.

Melinda didn't want to see the unsettling possibilities that could be expected.

The reason why she stayed, instead of leaving with Luo Feng, was this.

Luo Feng originally wanted to stay, but she drove away with silence.

- He has his business to do, and she wants to make a living person dare to face the cruel reality in front of him.

……

……

After a long while, Melinda spoke:

"A woman's whole should not be pinned on a man."

The woman still sat on the ground, expressionless.

She didn't even look at Melinda.

Although Melinda had been sitting by her side for so long, she never seemed to know of her existence.

In her world, at this moment, maybe it's just herself, maybe there's no one.

Melinda continued, "A woman should know how to live for herself, not be tied to someone to live her own way. ”

“……”

"Only by being alone can you live your own personality."

“……”

"Our attachment can be to ourselves, not to others. In fact, if you think about it, why do we depend on others to live? Can't we live well without others? ”

“……”

"In this world, nothing is reliable, especially feelings."

“……”

"A woman should make her heart strong, temper her independent personality, and endure a person's loneliness in order to live a free life."

“……”

"Love is not the whole of life. Without the love of others, we can still live well, and without the love of others, we can still live well. ”

“……”

"It is only after some time that we realize that something that now seems to be of paramount importance may be insignificant, and that most of the feelings and efforts we put in at the beginning were but ridiculously futile."

“……”

"What could be more important than to keep alive? Only by living can there be hope, only by living can we see hope, and only by living can we get hope. ”

“……”

The woman looked up and looked at Melinda for the first time.

The eyes are melancholy and empty, confused and deep.

She asked lightly, "Have you ever loved someone?" ”

Melinda didn't expect her to speak.

What she didn't expect was that the first thing she said was to ask such a question.

Moreover, the tone is so flat and unwavering.

However, as long as she speaks, it means that there is an opportunity to get close to her heart, so that she can find a way to let her go.

Melinda replied quickly without thinking, "Of course, I did." ”

"What does it feel like to love someone?"

"This ...... It's hard to say. ”

"There may be thousands of answers to this question, and I have only one feeling."

"What is it?"

"The people I love are the whole meaning of my life."

Melinda was shocked.

"In my heart, no one can give me the courage to continue to live except him, and no one can replace him and become the possibility of my life continuation."

"Your ideas are too paranoid."

"If you knew my life experience, maybe, you wouldn't think so."

"Oh?"

"When one can only languish in the darkness of pain, you will find how precious it is to discover a light of happiness."

"Is he the light you see?"

"He's the light I can grasp."

"That unforgettable life experience of yours has something to do with him?"

"He was the one who saved me at the time."

"Oh?"

"If I hadn't had him in my life, maybe I'd still be living in purgatory on earth."

Melinda didn't say anything.

She listened quietly to the unbearable life experience of the woman in front of her......

……

……

Huang Xiumei.

That's the woman's name.

Born into an unhappy rural family.

Her mother died early due to illness, and she had no impression of the woman who gave birth to her for as long as she can remember.

Due to the poor family conditions, the father wanted to find another woman to live with, but no one wanted to enter his house.

Until one day, my father spent a lot of money to marry a divorced woman.

The woman had a bad stomach, no different from the stepmother in the fairy tale.

The stepmother seems to be a broom star, and she only brings too much bad luck to this family.

Her irascible temper and her character of not giving a good face to anyone have created many enemies for her father.

Even relatives and friends alienated him one by one.

There are few people in the village who are willing to have anything to do with the members of this family anymore.

As a result, the family was isolated by the people around them.

And the stepmother did not blame herself, but poured all the trouble on her father and Huang Xiumei.

blame this family for being too poor, blame her father for not having the ability, blame her for being a drag oil bottle, "It's better to die early".

Huang Xiumei is her punching bag.

Ever since the woman entered the house, she hadn't given this daughter who was not her own a good look.

Foul language and abusiveness, commonplace.

One day, the woman was not satisfied with the insults and began to beat her.

The father, who was watching from the sidelines, pretended to turn a blind eye, hid in a place and smoked, and turned a deaf ear to her screams.

Seeing that the father's attitude was like this, the woman's attitude towards her became even worse.

She is like a human doll, and she has to endure beatings and scolding.

The sarcastic and harsh words, she listened to them in her ears, and she was already immune.

But the physical pain, she couldn't use her mental power to eliminate it.

The wounds increased again and again, and the new wounds pressed the old ones, and the scars were heavy.

One day she couldn't stand it anymore and scolded angrily: "You devil, you are simply a pervert!" ”

She was rewarded with more scars from the whip.

Her father was there for her that day.

She screamed in pain.

And her father just wept and didn't say a word, and didn't mean to stop it at all.

Gradually, she became completely disillusioned with her family.

She tried to escape.

But there is a vast sea of people, and she doesn't know anyone outside, where can she escape?

Home is her only home in this world.

And this destination is not a refuge, but a dagger of the flesh and a thorn of the spirit.

At that time, she was not yet fourteen years old.

At that time, she was already living in purgatory on earth, and there was darkness everywhere in front of her, and she could not see a trace of light.

Life has only just begun, and there is no end in sight to her pain.
