I stepped forward, hugged his waist, buried my head in his chest, and listened to his heartbeat: "Why can you tell me to leave so calmly, do you really not care about me at all now?" Zong Sheng, no matter what you look like, whether it's a monster or a ghost fetus, I can stand by your side boldly and confidently. I may not be able to help you, but I can wait for you, when you are hurt, when you are hungry, you can come back to me. ”

Zong Sheng directly pushed me away, looked down at me and said, "I won't say a few good words." ”

"I, I," I swallowed, and although he pushed me away, his hands were already grasping my two hands, and my hands were still on his waist. I plucked up the courage and said, "I used to say something about a fake marriage, but now," I bit my lip and didn't know how to express it.

"How's it going?"

"I, I, I like you, I think this doll kiss is very good." I kept my head down, and the voice was so small that I could barely hear it.

Zong Sheng's fingers pinched my chin and made me look up at him. His blood-red eyes looked at me so straight: "Do you know what happened that day? Do you really know what you're doing? ”

"I know! I remember everything that happened that day. "Even though he asked me when I first woke up, I always didn't remember, but now I want to tell him very clearly that I remember all those things.

"Do you remember making such a decision?"

"That's right! I saw you in the car, and I admit I was scared, but I wasn't scared of you, I was afraid that you would hurt yourself. Even if you hurt someone else, you will feel sad in your heart, and that's what I'm really afraid of. So, I got in the car and I don't regret it. "My face was hot, and I still remember the events of that day, how could I forget that experience?

"I almost killed you, you know? When Niu Lifan probed your snort... He didn't say any more, just looked straight at me. After a few seconds, he said, "That's me, and you want to be by my side?" You have to think clearly, the hotel thing is not over yet, and it is not so easy to end, maybe one day I will go crazy and kill you. ”

"You won't!"

"I will!" He let go of me and took two steps back, with that terrifying smile on the corner of his lips, "You know that when I was with you, I had only one thought in my heart, her, just this one thought, just these three words." There is no emotion, no reason. Zong Youxuan, I have always wanted to prove to others that I am not a monster. That's what I used to think. But what happened that day, I knew very well that I was different from ordinary people, I was a monster. ”

"No, you're not." Looking at him in front of me, I had a very uneasy feeling. The terrifying feeling was worse than the first time I saw his bloody pupils before. "Zong Sheng, no, you're not a monster, you're not." I don't know why I can't be strong anymore, my nose is sour, and tears are flowing down.

"Look, say a few words and cry. What are your strengths besides being a little stronger? How many times have you dragged me back? It's just a pig teammate, and you still want me to take you? ”

"Zong Sheng... It wasn't the first time he had said such ugly words, and the cold feeling on his body made me very uneasy.

"I'm not in the mood to hear you cry, I'll be here during this time, if you're lonely at night and want someone to do something, you can call me. You don't have to tell me anything else. As for the lie you just told, give me a day and I can help my grandma settle it. ”

He reached out and pushed me away, opened the door, and said as he walked out, "I hate this village, I hate all the people here, I hate my grandmother, and I hate you. ”

I bit my lip to keep myself from crying, and could only watch his back as he left.

My mind was empty, I didn't know what to think, and my mind was in turmoil.

When I came back to my senses, my mom squatted in front of me and helped me wipe the tears from my face. Although there has been financial support from Zongsheng and his family over the years, my parents are still very hard. My mom is 50 years old, and she feels skinny.

Seeing me crying, my mother also cried with me: "You Xuan, if I could have taken good care of you when you were born and hadn't asked his grandmother to feed you his blood, there would be no current situation." It's all mom that's bad, mom is sorry for you in this life. ”

I quickly wiped away my tears and stood up from the door: "Mom, we're fine. You don't have to worry either. I'm staying at home tonight, and I'm going to talk to my grandmother tomorrow. Something like this won't happen again like today. ”

At the gate of the courtyard, my father's low cry came: "It's my dad who is useless, let you be bullied by their family." Let you be bullied by that monster. ”

"Dad, Zong Sheng is not a monster." I whispered in my defense for Zong Sheng.

My dad suddenly rushed in front of me and shouted at me, "He's not a monster like that, what is a monster?" He did that to you, and you still spoke to him. You, you, Zong Youxuan, you live in their house for a few days, and you are towards him, don't you even care about your parents? ”

"Dad, do you know what you're talking about?" I looked at him in disbelief. I didn't expect my dad to say such a thing.

"The water spilled by the daughter who was married. Your mother and I should have given you to Grandma Zongsheng to raise, and we would have another one. ”

After my dad said this, he turned around and walked out, looking like he was huffing.

My mom chased two steps out and came back, and she said with a crying voice, "Your dad said that because he drank tonight." In the second uncle's family, there are not a few people in their family who fall behind your father. Don't worry. ”

I didn't speak, I went into the house, grabbed a broom and started cleaning the living room. But my heart has always been heavy, I never thought that my father would look at me like this, look at these things.

I didn't eat that night, I didn't have an appetite to eat. After watching my mom fall asleep, I went back to my little room. When facing my mother, I needed to cheer up and take care of my mother, but now that I was alone in the room, I couldn't support it anymore, and I sat on the corner of the bed and cried quietly. My heart was full of those words that Zong Sheng said to me. I wiped my tears and said to myself, "It's okay, it's up to him what he says." I know he must have had to go out of his way to say that. "Although I said this to myself, I didn't feel anything, I couldn't say what I felt in my heart, anyway, I just wanted to cry, it seemed like a way to relieve stress.

As soon as I settled down, I heard my mother shouting in the next room: "You Xuan, You Xuan, hurry, let's go to the river and have a look." They said that someone had fallen down from the river. Your dad hasn't come back yet, and he just drank so much wine just now, maybe it's your dad... My mom started crying when she said this.

I hurriedly walked out of the room and comforted her: "It won't be my dad's, it's not the first time he's drunk and walks out." Let's go check it out. ”

By the time my mother and I arrived at the river, it was already crowded with people, and basically everyone from the village had come out. Everyone was holding flashlights and shining brightly on the riverside.

The people who fell into the river have been scooped up. It was fished up, not saved. Because by the time we arrived, the sixth grandmother in the village was already kneeling in front of the little corpse, crying so much that she couldn't even breathe.

The son and daughter-in-law of the sixth grandmother are all working outside, leaving only this little grandson to follow her. Now the child, who fell into the river in the middle of the night, is gone, listening to the sixth grandmother crying there: "How can I explain this to my daughter-in-law?" Why don't you die for me? You let me die, and you can count it as an explanation for my daughter-in-law! ”

Many people are comforting the sixth grandmother there, and there are also men calling the child's parents. More people in the crowd were talking.

"In the middle of the night, how could a six or seven-year-old child leave the house by himself?"

"Don't sleepwalk."

"Sleepwalking is not that far, let's walk by the river."

"This river, which summer does not die? It's the end of September now, and it's getting cold, so it's time to go. ”

"How do you talk?"

"Everyone has lived here for decades, and they have spent their lives in this village, I don't believe it, will you know about this?"

I don't know why, but when I saw that little corpse, my heart beat faster.

I felt bad, and I slowly withdrew from the crowd, one hand pressed against my heart, and the other hand was holding the small flashlight at home.

I turned my back to the crowd and took a few deep breaths to calm my heartbeat.

"What's going on, it's the middle of the night." I said to myself.

It turned out to be very noisy and suddenly quieted down. This sudden silence feels eerie. The wind mixed with the moisture of the river was on my face. It's cold, that feeling of being cold to the bone. There shouldn't be such cold. In our place, the evenings at the end of September were actually quite hot. In the city, there are many people who travel at night at such times. But now it's cold, like the feeling of being cold to the bones in the middle of winter.

I turned slowly, and the light of the flashlight swept through. There was no one by the river, no one at all, and the little flashlight in my hand was shining in the darkness.

What about those people just now? Where's my mom? What about the dead child?

I was scared and felt that maybe it wasn't that simple.

Biting my lip, I decided to go straight home. I can't stand here by the river until dawn.

With a flashlight, I turned around and ran in the direction of my house. The air was getting colder and colder, and the cold air was entering my lungs, making my throat feel dry and sore.

"123, Wooden Man." At this time, in the distance, a child's childish voice came.
