Carrie looked out the window at the houses passing by, and finally turned her head to her mother, "Sorry, Mom, I let you come to school today." ”
The mother glanced at Carrie, held the steering wheel with her left hand, and gently rubbed her right hand on her daughter's hand twice, without saying a word.
The car stopped in front of a two-story wooden house, the car turned off, and the mother, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, she sighed slightly and said, "Let's go in, you have to go in with me." ”
Carrie didn't move: "Mom, I wanted to ask yesterday, why didn't you tell me? I was scared to death, and I thought I was going to die." Mom, they laughed at me and threw things at me. ”
The mother stood up with a look of reluctance to talk: "Let's go in and say, Carrie." With that, he slammed the door slammed shut.
Carrie opened the car door, held her hand to the window, and said excitedly, "No! I'm going to say here, I don't want to go in with you." ”
The mother looked at her coldly, expressionless, and then turned around and entered the house without saying a word.
Carrie seemed to be refuting her mother for the first time, and she was frightened by her words and actions, and sat back in the car in a daze, still thinking about what she had just said.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the side glass, and a little boy wearing a riding cap put his face against the window and shouted, "Fool Carrie, fool Carrie." ”
And pressed his nose into a pig's nose and laughed: "Hum ......" This is learning to bark a pig.
Carrie was startled and twisted her head to the other side in disgust.
The little boy rode to Carrie's side again, shouting, "Fool Carrie, fool Carrie." ”
Carrie turned her head in annoyance, the boy who was riding well seemed to have been pushed by a big hand, and the bicycle stayed in place but the person suddenly flew out sideways.
The boy was not injured, he hurriedly got up, stepped into his car and rode away in a panic, looking back at Carrie in fear as he rode.
Carrie was also frightened by her actions, her eyes flashed with confusion, and finally she got out of the car and walked into her home with her backpack.
Before I put down my schoolbag, I heard a regular "bangbang" sound from the house.
She followed the sound up the stairs, the bedroom door opened a gap, and the mother held the heavy black Bible, and banged her head against the wall by the window, and kept muttering, "Oh God, save my child, she's gone." ”
Carrie pushed open the bedroom door and walked in, "Mom, don't bump into it." ”
As if she hadn't heard her, her mother struck harder.
"Mom!" Carrie yelled.
The mother's movements finally stopped, staring blankly at her daughter.
"I don't want you to be sad. Carrie took her mother's hand and sat on the low windowsill.
The mother looked at her and said in a low tone: "You have been a woman since yesterday. ”
Carrie's expression was puzzled, not understanding what her mother was saying this for.
"God made Eve out of Adam's rib, and then what? Carrie, say..."
Carrie shook her head: "No, Mom......"
"Say it quickly. ”
Carrie held her mother's shoulder: "Tell me, please talk to me." ”
But the mother went on to herself: "Then Eve woke up and committed the first sin, x fornication. ”
Carrie interrupted her mother, "I just want to know. But why didn't you tell me, Mom?"
"God cursed Eve, and the curse was blood. ”
Carrie stood up excitedly: "I'm not going to say this, it's Bible, not everywhere." ”
The mother crossed her fingers together and prayed with a reverent expression: "God, help this girl to see her sins clearly, and if she still feels innocent, then tell her that the curse of blood will not come to her like Eve." ”
"I'm not Eve, Mom. I am not guilty. Carrie retorted.
"You take a bath with those girls, you are full of desire. ”
The tone of the family began to become a little agitated: "Everybody has to take a shower after swimming, Mom, everybody, that's the convention." ”
"You're not the same, because he'll see you. ”
"I don't want to be different, Mom. I want to be like them. ”
"He can detect your crimes, and then he will punish you!" the mother slapped Carrie in the face with the thick Bible paste in her arms.
Carrie let out a short cry of pain and was slapped to the ground, her mouth wide open before she could react to what was happening.
The mother knelt down beside her daughter and babbled, "I won't let it happen to you, I don't want it." God has mercy. ”
Carrie took the Bible from her mother's hand and said hurriedly, "No, 'God is a good man, and his infinite love endures forever, and his loyalty is passed on from generation to generation. 'Chapter 100, sentence 5. ”
The mother stroked her daughter's cheek: "I won't let you go to school." ”
"You can't do this!" Carrie stood up, yelled, and ran downstairs.
The mother then stood up and chased down: "We pray, we pray together, to save the weak, evil, sinful souls of our women. ”
Carrie excitedly said to her mother, "You didn't tell me, let them laugh at me." I'm not guilty, you're guilty!"
The mother's movement down the stairs suddenly slowed down, turning into one step at a time, and her mouth was also saying word by word: "I don't, I don't have sin." ”
Carrie finally realized what she had said, and she looked down at her angry mother in fear.
The mother opened the cubicle under the stairs, opened the door, and said to Carrie, "Come into your little room and pray." ”
The family's expression became frightened, his eyes widened, and he took a few steps back in fear: "No..."
Mother slowly approached her: "You pray!"
"No," Carrie shook her head and took a few steps back, as if there was something terrible in the little room.
The mother approached, grabbed her daughter's arm with both hands, and pulled her into the small room.
Carrie struggled, "Let go of me, Mom!
But in the end, Carrie did not break free from her mother's drag and was stuffed into the room.
The mother bolted the door from the outside and leaned one hand on the door, her exposed forearm covered with wisps of scratches: "Pray quickly, pray for forgiveness." ”
"Mom, let me out!" the family banged the wooden door inside.
The mother scratched her arm against the door with her other hand, and the new scar was scratched out by her, but her face showed a hint of relief and a hint of relief.
Carrie was in the dimly lit room, holding the door frame with both hands and looking resentful, and she slapped the door again with one hand: "Mom! Oh my God, you are so annoying!!"
With a loud "click", a narrow crack opened on the small wooden door, and the crack seemed to flash with a carbon-red light, and curling green smoke also rose from the crack.
The mother was so frightened that she took a few steps back, she looked at the crack, and kept muttering, "Help me, save my Almighty God." ”
Carrie sat on the ground, looking fearfully at the crucifixion of Jesus in the small room, and folded her legs in fear.
As she watched, blood began to trickle from the cross, and she stopped thinking in fear, clasped her hands, and began to pray helplessly.
