Chapter 9: Death Announcement
Luo Minmin opened his eyes, white walls, the pungent smell of medicine, and a sore arm.
"Why am I here?" She looked around and saw that it was what appeared to be the school doctor's office, and she sat up with her uninjured arm.
"Awake? Come, drink some water. Mi'er came out of the room with the boiling water she had just received, just in time to see Luo Minmin sitting up, and seeing her difficulty, Mi'er was not ready to help her.
Luo Minmin took the paper cup and drank it lightly, Mi'er carefully observed her expression and said, "You fainted in the garden and your arm was scratched by a branch, it was Teacher Yichen who sent you to the infirmary." ”
Garden! Luo Minmin's face turned pale instantly, "It's true, it's really ......" as if muttering to herself, her face was full of fear.
"Yes, Dr. Bai has already bandaged you, it's fine." Mi'er pretended not to see her panic and fear.
"No...... Thank you. Luo Minmin wanted to speak and stopped, her brows were always furrowed, and her eyes were full of darkness.
"After school, what about you when I'm gone?" Mi'er looked up at the clock on the wall, and it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.
"I ......" she didn't dare to go back, the woman didn't know what to do with her, but...... Dad ......, "I'm going back too." After thinking about it, she said to Mi'er, that woman is a monster, she should tell her father, no matter what her father does to her, he always has the right to know the truth, Luo Minmin secretly made up her mind in her heart.
Mi'er looked at her and didn't say much, her body was wrapped in a rich demonic aura, which was very familiar.
The moonlight was miserable, Luo Minmin tried to suppress the fear and uneasiness in her heart Walking on the silent street, the city with bright lights is not better than the countryside where she used to live, at least the people there are very easy to get along with, and they will not be double-faced like city people, looking like a good friend will give you a fatal knife behind your back. There will be no vixen-like woman like Cui Luo to destroy other people's families, and my mother will not leave in such pain.
Thinking of her mother's painful tears hiding in the toilet every night, and thinking of her mother's warm eyes losing their light little by little, her heart was like a knife. Look at the blood oozing from the white bandage, which she herself scratched with a branch.
Last night, Cui Luo suddenly said that she could go back to school and continue her studies, which was a very happy thing, thinking that she could sneak out to see her mother. Unexpectedly, after the second class, I suddenly felt a splitting headache, and my left arm was itchy and difficult, so I was ready to go to the school doctor's office. Who knew that on the road, strange black lines suddenly appeared on the arm, as if something was swimming inside, itchy and painful, and when you look closely, there is really something inside!
It's a snake! Yes, it's a snake! So she endured the pain, picked up the sharp branch, and slashed it at her arm, and in the dazzling blood, a snake poked its head out of the wound and showed her sharp teeth viciously! The severe pain and the sudden fright made her faint instantly, and she didn't know what happened next.
I suddenly remembered what I ate last night, although it looked like three fresh porridge, but the taste was ...... I thought that it was only because of the difference between the practice of Cui Luo and her mother that it would lead to the difference in taste, but now it seems that she added something and can't say for sure, thinking of this, her stomach was overturned, and she couldn't help but retching on the street lamp, and her figure was extremely thin under the dim light.
A high-end residential area.
"Ah Xuan, don't worry, Min Min must have something delayed." Cui Luo put on an apron and brought out the steaming pork rib soup from the kitchen, "Come, try it and see if the two ingredients I added taste different." Her hand with dark red nails served soup for Luo Xuan, stirred it with a small spoon a few times, put it to her lips and blew it, and then scooped up a spoonful and handed it to Luo Xuan's lips when the temperature was not hot.
"Minmin, this child grew up beside her mother, and now that I am divorced, she wants to go with her mother, but I am reluctant to let her stay, and now I really don't know how to face her." Luo Xuan shook his head and said that he didn't want to drink, when he talked about his daughter, his eyes were full of helplessness and heartache, where did he still have the appetite to eat?
"Don't worry, Min Min will always understand, and I will treat her well." Cui Luo bloomed a smile, charming and moving.
Luo Xuan raised his head and approached Cui Luo and left a kiss on her fair and full forehead, "Ah Luo, I will work hard for you in the future." "How fortunate he was to meet a woman he really liked at this age.
Luo Minmin pushed open the door and saw this scene, her eyes continued to tears of resentment for no reason, what is my mother saving money for so many years? In the end, it's just a sentence of leaving the house. Now that this man is rich, he begins to dislike his wife, is this still the gentle father in his memory?
"Minmin, it's time to eat." Cui Luo got up and went to pull her, Luo Minmin opened the hand that she thought was a demon and walked away.
"Luo Minmin! What kind of attitude do you have! She's your mother! Luo Xuan saw that Luo Minmin was bad, ignoring Cui Luo's attitude, and the anger in the blood in his brain finally exploded.
"My mother has only one, and that is Jiang Wei." After choking up, she ran upstairs with tears in her eyes, Jiang Wei is her biological mother's name, the woman who is gentle and virtuous and rarely speaks, and would rather suffer herself than let her suffer.
Luo Xuan looked at Luo Minmin's back, didn't he feel good in his heart, can this family still be peaceful?
The term slum refers to the worst housing conditions, the most unsanitary conditions.
The slums of City Y are home to a variety of low-income people. It is a densely populated urban area characterized by substandard housing and poverty. However, slums were once noble residential areas, even places of aspiration. However, when the original occupants moved to new and better areas of the city, the slums were in decline. Gradually, the house was rented to low-income people after subdivision, and the condition of the original house became worse and worse.
The first news story of the morning was about the slums, and the images on TV were filthy and shabby, and there was a natural difference between them and the beautiful and clean city where they lived.
The brick-built fence was simply brushed with a layer of low-quality lime, and in some places it had begun to peel off to reveal the bricks inside, and there were black marks that appeared for unknown reasons. The ground was littered with wine bottles, household garbage, and a mess that made it impossible to put your feet on. The crowd was noisy, reporters squeezed forward with their cameras, and police officers walked out on stretchers covered with white cloths, apparently dead.
Mi'er glanced at the TV and didn't pay much attention, it was normal for people to die in the slums, where living conditions were poor, people had low incomes, and even ordinary safety was not guaranteed. Many people have been disappointed, hopeless, and even choose to self-harm and suicide because they can't bear the stress of life.
Half of his hand was exposed under the covered white cloth, rough and shriveled without any life. The camera quickly flickered, and the beautiful host appeared in a strong contrast with the background behind him, "The deceased Zhang Wei, male, 37 years old. The deceased was very peaceful, and the police preliminarily concluded that the death was caused by taking some kind of drug...... "The female reporter's face was heavy, and whoever faced such a scene would feel pity."
Mi'er looked at the black mark on the wall behind the reporter and felt that things might be more than that simple, and maybe she should go and see.
"When you eat, you don't let people eat?" Zhu Yu pouted, picked up the remote control, and decisively changed the channel.
"Zhu Yu is really timid." Mi'er walked to the dining table and teased.
"Mi'er, you are really, a girl is not afraid." Zhu Yu put down the omelette and turned around and went to the kitchen to be busy.
Mi'er didn't answer, what is the dead afraid of? She had seen all kinds of terrifying and disgusting demons, and she didn't feel any fear at all. But these days, after getting along with Zhu Yu, I found that she is really a cute and virtuous fish demon. Looking at the fish tank in the living room, which was two meters long and two meters wide, with algae, coral, stones, sand, castles, and some unnamed things, I knew how much she wanted to stay here, and dared to move her home in the sea here.
"What did Yinque do?" Mi'er suddenly felt that it was very quiet today, and it turned out that there was one person missing.
"In the backyard!" Zhu Yu responded in the kitchen, "I don't feel annoyed to drink tea in front of that tree all day." ”
"He thinks it's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, but I don't think the banyan tree is simple." The trunks are staggered, the branches are luxuriant, and they may have lived for thousands of years, and most of them have cultivated into demons for thousands of years, but they haven't seen the tree demon since they moved over, so they can't help but be a little curious.
"yes, I've seen that tree since I was a kid. A banyan tree growing by the sea, I find it unbelievable. "Zhu Yu has five or six hundred years of cultivation, and her words just confirm that the tree is not a simple existence.
"Don't wait for him, let's eat." Mi'er said mischievously, "Also, it's best not to leave him food, lest he not be active in eating next time." ”
Zhu Yu smiled slightly, looked at Mi'er's beautiful side face, and sighed that sometimes this demon slayer is really childish.
