The first thing Li Weiwei did when he returned home was to close the door tightly and lock it, then hide on the bed, cover his head with a quilt, and cry a lot. After crying, she lay on the bed for a short time before slowly sitting up.

What just happened was like a nightmare.

Obviously, before throwing it, she had done many checks to confirm that no one would pass by below, but why did she still hit someone?

It's incredible.

But it has come to this, the tragedy has happened, the crying has been cried, the regret has been meaningful, and the next thing to think about is how to deal with such a result.

Her first thought was to go to the police station and turn herself in.

She is already twelve years old, and she will be in junior high school after the summer vacation, so she should admit her mistakes no matter what she has done wrong.

When I was a child, there was a little story in my textbook that US President Washington cut down his father's cherry tree when he was a child and took the initiative to admit his mistakes, reflecting his excellent quality of honesty.

It is also said in "Zuo Biography" that knowing mistakes can be changed, and good is great.

If she takes the initiative to admit her mistakes, there is a high probability that she will be forgiven by adults. Alas, if only he had made a small mistake like cutting down a cherry tree.

Just the thought of going to the police station made her tremble with fear.

Growing up, one of the things adults often say to scare children is: If you don't obey, let the police uncle come and arrest you.

Over time, the word police has become a terrible existence for children.

Li Weiwei, who loves to watch TV dramas, imagined the whole process after being arrested by the police - in the dark interrogation room, a light shone on her face, making her unable to open her eyes, and then the majestic police interrogated her full of intimidation.

Be lenient in confession and strict in resisting.

If she didn't tell the truth, she would be punished - just like in those anti-Japanese dramas, the Japanese forced confessions from the underground party, pinched their fingers with bamboo boards, burned their bodies with a red-hot soldering iron, and pressed their heads into cold buckets of water and couldn't breathe...... Well, she hasn't watched less TV series of this kind.

In the end, he was locked up in a dark cell, miserable, living in it all his life, losing his freedom.

She got out of bed, opened the bedroom door, and came to the living room.

It is said to be a living room, but it is actually a dine-in area of a small shop.

Because this rented two-bedroom apartment is on the first floor, after my parents rented it, they lived in one bedroom for the family of three, the other bedroom was used to stack tools and ingredients, and the living room was turned into a breakfast shop for business.

Every morning, they get up at about 5 o'clock and start making noodles, boiling porridge, chopping stuffing, boiling tea and eggs, and providing breakfast for the residents and office workers in the community. This work is almost the end of the day until 10 a.m.

After resting into the afternoon, they began to prepare for the evening supper business again. Usually around half past five, the family has finished dinner, goes out on time at six o'clock, pushes a tricycle to sell fried rice and fried noodles at the intersection outside the community, until one o'clock in the morning, goes home and sleeps for another three or four hours, gets up again to work, and repeats itself, which is very hard. And after my father died, this hard work was doubled on my mother.

Of course, whether it is opening a breakfast shop on the ground floor of a residential area or setting up a stall outside the community for supper, it is not in line with the regulations of the urban management, but in order to make a living, they have to fight guerrillas, and they have been arrested and punished several times, but they can be regarded as surviving.

Now mom is not at home. Strange to say, after the store closed in the morning, my mother often went out alone, and she asked a few times, but my mother didn't say anything.

The five small tables in the room were empty, and in the light that came in through the windows, they looked peaceful. Thinking of her mother's hard work, Li Weiwei felt extremely sad. If I was caught and sent to prison, my mother would definitely die of sadness.

That's not an exaggeration.

A year ago, when she was in the fifth grade of primary school, it was raining heavily and the math class was damp and oppressive. I don't know if it's because of the heavy rain, she was always distracted that day, unable to concentrate, even when the teacher called her name to stand up and answer the question, she didn't know how to solve it at all. She was distraught, as if something big was going to happen.

Her hunch finally worked.

The homeroom teacher didn't know when she appeared at the door of the classroom, whispered a few words to the math teacher, and beckoned her out. She hesitantly walked to the door. The head teacher told her that something had happened to her family and told her to go to the hospital immediately.

Later, she took the teacher's car to the municipal hospital, and in the hospital corridor, she saw her mother, who had collapsed.

As soon as her mother saw her appear, she immediately rushed forward and hugged her, crying heartbreakingly.

She cried and told her that her father was riding a battery car to buy groceries, but it suddenly rained heavily on the road, and on the way back, at the gate of the community, a runaway skidding car crashed into him and died not long after he was sent to the hospital.

Later, she was led by her mother to the morgue and saw her father, who had become a corpse. He lay there straight, his eyes closed, and he looked very peaceful.

There were many people who joked that she looked like her father, especially the melon seed face, if it weren't for her white skin, it would be as if she was carved out of the same mold as her father. And the dead father's skin was finally white, as white as hers.

Afterwards, the traffic department determined that the driver was fully responsible, and the court sentenced him to pay 1.02 million yuan in compensation and bear all the litigation costs.

However, this bastard claimed that he had no money, and after giving 100,000 yuan in medical expenses, he would never give money again, no matter how much the court urged, it was useless, and he became a veritable old man.

With the 100,000 yuan in exchange for their lives, the mother and daughter transported their father's body back to their hometown, held a funeral, and returned to the city after being buried on the spot.

Regarding this, Li Weiwei heard that many people persuaded their mothers not to come out to work anymore, and to stay in the countryside for the rest of their lives, they said that it was too hard for a woman to carry a child, and she would definitely not be able to support it. But my mother refused, and she wanted to come out without hesitation.

Once, she quietly asked her mother why this was.

Her mother just told her that she must study hard, even if she is a girl, she can be successful and live her own wonderful life.

That being said, the burden on mom is clearly heavier. In the past, the work of the two people became her to do it alone, and although the rent here is not low, she is determined not to move out of this place - this community is very good in terms of living and cultural environment, and she wants her daughter to grow up here.

She said that those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black, and people have to go up to have hope.

Li Weiwei also knows how to be considerate of her mother.

She would wake up early and help out until school started; In school, she will study hard and repay her mother's efforts with the first grade grade; After finishing her homework in the evening, she would also go to the night food stall to help out.

The mother and daughter worked together, relying on their own hard work in exchange for a temporary stable life, and finally survived to the stage of Xiaoshengchu, and it turned out to be this incident, and it is likely that all of this has been destroyed.

Thinking of this, Li Weiwei's body trembled again, but soon, another question popped up in her mind: What happened to the person who was hit by the dog?

From the time she escaped from the rooftop to the present, she has been thinking about herself here, and she is thinking about how she is, completely ignoring the victim. When did I become so selfish and aloof?

Besides, if you choose to run away and not be irresponsible, what is the difference between you and the scoundrel who killed your father and didn't pay compensation? She patted her pink cheek lightly, determined to investigate the situation anyway and see what she should do next.

Ding dong.

The mobile phone WeChat rang.

As the eldest of four children, she is the only one with a mobile phone and WeChat.

My mother takes care of the children alone, and sometimes she is not around when she is busy, so she leaves her the mobile phone that her father used before his death to facilitate contact. In addition, some small things in life, such as paying electricity bills and the like, are basically carried out online, and my mother's education level is not high, and she doesn't know anything about the Internet, so this aspect of the matter is handed over to Li Weiwei to do. She unlocked the screen password and found that it was someone in the owner group who was talking.

"Have you heard of it? Building 38 is smashing people to death! ”

"Really?"

"Really?"

"What are you lying to, I'm on the spot. I'll show you! ”

Then, several short videos of about ten seconds appeared in the group in a row, which were shot roughly, but it can be roughly seen that the scene has been surrounded by a police cordon, and some uniformed police officers are collecting evidence and questioning at the scene.

"How do you see that someone was stoned to death?"

"yes, I didn't see any of the bodies......"

"I heard with my own ears that someone threw a big dog from above, and it happened to hit a passerby, and the unlucky guy hit the ground first, and he died after being sent to the hospital, which is too sad."

"What do you say? Smashed by a big dog? ”

"yes, it's a big dog."

"It's so weird, throwing a dog down the stairs......"

"yes, it's scary......"

"Who did it? This has to be arrested and jailed!! ”

"This is the equivalent of murder, sit in prison!"

"Shoot it......"

"Agreed."

……

Li Weiwei didn't dare to look at it anymore.

She set the group to message not disturbed, and then quickly turned off the phone screen, while feeling a weak panic.

Mom still hasn't come back.

I killed someone.

How could I kill someone.

Mom, I'm a murderer and I'm going to jail...... She's going to cry again.

This time, though, she didn't cry.

She thought of the other three friends. They may not yet know how bad the situation is.

In fact, she came up with the idea, and everything was led by her, and now the friends are all pulled into the water by her, which is really bad.

I turned them all into murderers, and I killed them.

No, it can't.

She decided, go to the police now, and take responsibility for the case alone.

But I have to tell my mother.

She picked up her phone again and tried not to look at WeChat, but found her mother's phone number from the address book and called.

Shut down.

It turned off the phone.

She put her phone aside, her heart dying.

What to do?

What am I going to do?

She looked at the empty room for a moment. Finally, she sighed, went back to her room to find her school bag, tore a piece of paper from her notebook, and took out the golden hero pen from the stationery box.

This pen was a business gift from her father when she was ten years old, hoping that she would study hard and become an excellent person, but now she wants to use it to write a message, a confession.

Dear Mom,

I made a mistake, killed someone, and now I'm going to go to the police and turn myself in. I regret it, I hate that I shouldn't have done that thing, that I killed people, I hurt myself, and I failed your expectations of me. I know that you will be very sad and sad to end up like this, but I hope you take care of yourself, take care of your body, and live well. If I get shot, I'll be in heaven for you. I wish you health and happiness for the rest of your life. I will always be your good daughter.

Love you Pico

Thinking that she would never see her mother again in her life, Li Weiwei's emotions could no longer be suppressed. Tears welled up in her eyes, and they fell on the blue ink paper, blurring some beautiful blue flowers.

In order not to regret himself, Li wiped away his tears slightly, stood up suddenly, and walked quickly towards the door. After opening the door, she glanced back at the calm room again, gritted her teeth, and walked out.

It wasn't cooler outside the house than when she came back.

Li lowered his head slightly, and during the walk, he was in a very low mood, and he could not experience the attack of the heat wave at all. When passing by a small wooden bridge, she suddenly recalled the scene when she first came to this community: the agent took their family of three to walk around the community, and they also passed by this small wooden bridge, and the scenery in front of them instantly conquered them.

Between the tall buildings, an artificially constructed central body of water is surrounded by plants, the water surface is sparkling, the shore is green grass, and several young mothers push baby strollers and walk by the water, presenting a quiet, peaceful and modern order.

Later, when I saw the two-bedroom apartment on the ground floor, my mother decided to rent it without hesitation.

From the day she moved in, her mother often told her that if she worked hard, she could buy a house here and put down roots in the city forever.

However, less than two years later, everything has changed.

The death of my father was a turning point, and this time it was an end.

A beautiful dream was completely shattered.

Before she knew it, she had come to the front of Building 38.

As shown in the previous small video, the scene was cordoned, and several police officers outside the line were doing on-site research to inquire about the situation, and inside the line, a man in a white coat was on the ground to check the blood stains and the condition of the big dog.

She often watches TV dramas, and she knows that this person should be a forensic doctor.

In addition, there are police officers taking pictures and collecting evidence. She swallowed her saliva and hesitated, not knowing what to do for a while.

Suddenly, she felt as if a pair of eyes were looking at her.

She turned her face away, and her gaze met the piercing gaze.

It was an old man, tall, with some gray hair, and he looked quite energetic. He stared at himself intently, oblivious to the fact that someone was talking to him. Who is this man? Is it the police? Why is there no uniform?

Suddenly, she panicked and wanted to walk away, but she couldn't take a step. She remembered what she was here for.

She turned herself in, and if she left now, wouldn't it be an escape? Besides, it's useless to run away, they're police, and they're sure to find some clues and then find out that they did it all.

Isn't there a saying that "Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky"? If they are caught, the consequences will obviously be much more serious. Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and took a step forward.

"Weiwei!"

A familiar voice stopped her. She looked back and saw that her mother had squeezed out of the crowd of onlookers, walked quickly to her side, and grabbed her arm.

"Why are you here?" Apparently she had just come back from outside, "Yo, what's going on?" ”

"Here ......"

"Oh, there's blood on the ground." Mom was taken aback, "Did someone jump off the building?" ”

The person next to her told her that it was not a jumping building, but someone threw an object from a high altitude and killed someone.

"Oh my God, this is scary. Weiwei, let's go, this kind of thing is nothing to see and be hilarious about. ”

Then he couldn't help but say, so he pulled Li Weiwei and dragged her outside.

Li Weiwei didn't have time to explain at all, and was left the scene by his mother.

In this way, Li was passively dragged by his mother in the direction of home.

I don't know why, she felt that her mother's wrist was particularly hard today, and her arm was strained. When she walked to a lawn with few people, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she shook off her mother's hand and stopped.

"Mom! What are you doing, what are you doing so hard? Li rubbed his arm slightly and complained.

"Come home with me first, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

"Let's talk about it when we get home."

Li glanced at her mother's face slightly, only to find that she was a little scary, different from the mother who usually likes to joke, and couldn't help but chuckle in her heart.

Could it be that she had already returned home early and seen the message she had written?

That's why she deliberately rushed over and pulled herself back, in order not to turn herself in? It's entirely possible.

But when she saw her mother's satchel, she thought it might not be there.

In any case, she has no initiative now, so she can only follow her mother back first and then discuss countermeasures.

"Let's go."

This time the mother did not take her hand, but walked directly in front.

After walking a few steps, seeing that she didn't move, he shouted in a low voice, "Hurry up!" Li was slightly startled, thinking to himself what happened to his mother today, why was she so fierce, so she lowered her head and walked behind.

When she arrived at the door, Li Weiwei saw her mother start to look down for the keys in her bag, and she felt nervous.

The moment the door opened, she took advantage of her mother's gap in pulling out the key while shouting "I want to urinate in a hurry", squeezed in advance, rushed to the table, and grabbed the confession in her hand the moment her mother came in, and crumpled it into a ball.

"What are you doing?"

She turned around and put her hands behind her back, an embarrassed smile on her face.

"What's in your hand?" Mom approached, "Take it out and show me." ”

"Nothing! I can't hold it anymore. ”

With that, she left her mother behind and rushed to the bathroom.

Once inside, she locked the door as soon as she entered, then threw the paper ball down the toilet bowl and pressed the flush button.

After staying in the bathroom for a while, Li Weiwei opened the door. Mom stood in the doorway and startled her.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Mom didn't speak, pulled her aside, walked to the toilet and looked inside. Of course, I didn't see anything.

She stared back at Li Weiwei's face, who pretended to look to the side with ease, pretending not to know anything.

"Come over to me!"

Li Weiwei knew that he was wrong, and honestly followed his mother back to the living room. Mom sat down at the table and pointed to the table opposite.

"Sit down!"

She sat down obediently.

"Tell me honestly, what did you do today?"

"Huh? What am I doing? ”

"Didn't do anything? What have you been doing all these hours since I was out? ”

"I'm just playing in the neighborhood. Didn't do anything. Seeing that her mother didn't seem to believe herself, she emphasized, "I really didn't do anything!" ”

"And what did you just throw on the toilet and flush?"

". I just. ”

"Editor! Just make it up! At such a young age, lie to me, if your father is alive, see how he cleans you up. ”

At the mention of her husband, Mom sighed. Li Weiwei was not joking, and looked at her silently.

"Mom, where did you just go?"

"Where can I go? It's not for your schooling. ”

"What?"

"I ask, do you still want to go to school here?"

"Of course."

"I don't think you want to! Say, is there a boy who has written you a love letter? ”

"Mom, where are you doing this! Your daughter is only twelve years old! ”

"It's good to know! I've been thinking about whether or not to let you continue to go to school here. ”

"I want it."

"You're going to have a fart. I went to the city No. 1 middle school today to find the principal, your grades can go to this key middle school, but our hukou is not here, and there is no house, and the policy stipulates that we must first arrange for those who have a hukou and a house before it can be our turn. It's not that the enrollment is almost over, and the principal of the family also told me that there is still a student quota in the end, but there are three children who want to go on, what about you, the grades are the best of the three of them, and the principal wants to admit you, but unfortunately, you need to pay a lot of money for the school construction fee, and the other two are willing to pay, but they are stuck by the principal, and they want to wait for our opinion, but they only give me a week to make money. I'm so sad right now. ”

Li Weiwei stopped talking.

She knows how important it is to attend a key junior high school in the city. Because the city's high school admission rate is not high, only if you go to a key junior high school can you have a high probability of going to high school. And a child like her, who has no school district and no hukou, if she doesn't want to find a way, is likely to be randomly assigned to an ordinary middle school five kilometers away, which will be a big trouble.

On the one hand, it is inconvenient to go to school, and the biggest harm is that you may not be able to go to high school, in the words of your mother, if this is the case, it is better to go back to the countryside to go to school. In that way, my mother's efforts over the years would be in vain.

Dad also died in vain.

You know, the reason why they insist on being here is for her.

Thinking of this, Li felt slightly guilty. Once her mother knows that she has sinned, I really don't know what the pain will become. For a while, she made up her mind, stopped talking, didn't turn herself in, and wanted to find a chance to escape!

"What are you thinking?"

"No, nothing."

"Ugh." Mom sighed again, "I'll figure it out anyway." What about you, the most important thing is to read the book well, don't believe those nonsense, say that girls are useless in reading, no, I believe that you can also achieve the same achievements as everyone else, promise me, study hard, okay? ”

Li Wei choked back tears in his eyes and nodded vigorously.

"Go ahead. I'm going to take a break. ”

Li turned around slightly and returned to the room, took something and stuffed it in his pocket, then said hello to his mother and walked out the door. Instead of leaving, she turned around and went into the apartment hallway and took the elevator up to the top floor. I got out of the elevator, opened the door to the rooftop, and walked out.

She found a sunny spot and pulled out the contents of her pocket.

It was a vanity mirror.

She opened it, and by the refraction of the light, it was fired towards the window of a house not far away, and then kept blocking the light with her hand, creating a flickering effect.

This is how a few of their friends send signals.

She wants to tell everyone not to go out, not to go to the scene until the seven o'clock in the evening.

She had already made up her mind to hide her mistake this time.
