She was too weak. She had only had a little rice water in the past two days. In addition, Yi Baohua's body instinctively dodged in shock. The kitchen knife only hit the shoulder, hit the collarbone, and escaped.
Yi Baohua didn't understand what he had done wrong, but he understood that there were only two choices at the moment.
Either subdue Xiao Shu or be killed by Xiao Shu.
However.
Even at this moment, he was still afraid of hurting the other person and tried to control his movements. He just wanted to hug and lock the girl.
Xiao Shu is much crazier.
She scratched and scratched, screamed and struggled desperately.
There was one patient and one wounded person. In a short period of time, no one could do anything to save anyone. The furniture in the room was damaged and was knocked to pieces.
During the scuffle, Xiao Shu kicked Yi Baohua's vital part.
He bent over and knelt down in pain, and Xiao Shu took the opportunity to escape from the room.
When Yi Baohua endured the pain and got up to chase out the door, Xiao Shu had already climbed up the ladder left behind when repairing the roof, and then threw the ladder downstairs.
No movement on the roof can be seen from the porch.
Yi Baohua was worried about the girl's mental state, so he hurried downstairs and plunged into the rainy yard without caring about the wound.
Look up.
I found her:
The girl stood barefoot on the ridge of the main hall.
Behind are the overlapping dangerous peaks and beautiful mountains and layers of clouds smeared by the sky.
The rain outlines the beautiful curves of youth.
She gathered up her long wet hair.
Smile to yourself.
…………
When Professor Shao hurried back, this was the scene in the courtyard:
Xiao Shu was roaming on the roof on tiptoes, and from time to time she would lean down and turn over a tile. Her posture was as light as a bird jumping on the branches, and her soaked clothes were her wet feathers.
Yi Baohua, on the other hand, covered his shoulders and stood in the courtyard, trying to persuade him in the heavy rain, like a very embarrassed but loyal big dog.
"Something really happened!"
"Xiao Shu, what are you doing on the roof?"
"Baohua, what's going on?"
The people who hurried back were confused by the endless questions.
It's a pity that Yi Baohua failed to answer their doubts.
He turned around with an aggrieved but relieved expression, then his body tilted and he fell into the stagnant water.
Several people were startled and gathered around in confusion, shouting, only to discover the hideous wound on Yi Baohua's shoulder.
The opened flesh has been washed white by the rain, and deep in the wound are bones that are even paler.
Zeng Guangwen took off his eyes.
Veins are popping up on my hands.
"Who did it?"
The dazzling paleness almost ignited the depression of the past few days. He looked up at Xiao Shu and tried hard to control his emotions.
"Who the hell did this?!"
Xiao Shu was still rummaging through her tiles, but took the time to wave to the yard and replied casually:
"it's me."
A natural answer.
The only people left in the village, except for a few old men who had difficulty walking, were Xiao Shu and Yi Baohua. In fact, there is no need to ask, besides Xiao Shu, who else could be the murderer?
After being in disbelief, I finally couldn't suppress my anger.
"You're crazy! You're so damn crazy!"
Zeng Guangwen roared.
"Even if you no longer like him or hate him, do you still need to kill him?!"
"What nonsense are you talking about, glasses? How could I hate Baohua?"
Xiao Shu seemed to have found the tile he liked, and put it away with satisfaction, and his words were a little more brisk.
"It's too late for me to like him."
"like?"
Zeng Guangwen laughed angrily.
"You like him, you want to kill him! You like him, you want him to die?!"
"yes."
Xiao Shu came to the edge of the roof lightly, leaned over and smiled at everyone. There was a mixture of kindness and laughter in his smile, as if Zeng Guangwen, who was furious below, was an ignorant child and asked an innocent question.
She is very persuasive:
"What's wrong with death? You won't be cold, hungry, tired, or in pain. You won't be sad or sad anymore, you won't be oppressed, and you won't be bullied anymore."
"It's scary to be alive."
"As long as you live, you will get sick. When you faint, you will feel as if you have lost your soul. When you feel pain, it will feel like a needle has been inserted into the bone marrow. When you live, you will get old. Your hair will fall out bit by bit, your skin will loosen bit by bit, and you will lose your memory bit by bit.
A little bit of decline, a little bit of aging, a little bit of weakness, until you are paralyzed in bed and can't do anything, and you have to rely on others to take care of you for food, drink, and toilet; you will always be slandered, deceived, despised, insulted, and humiliated by others while you are alive.
Betrayal by friends and let down by loved ones, not to mention responsibilities, desires, and life, they all weigh on people one by one, making them unable to straighten their backs and unable to breathe."
"Look, isn't it better to be dead than alive?"
"Are you crazy?"
"Maybe, who wouldn't?"
Said.
She smiled and held up the carefully selected tiles, pressing the sharp edge against her slender neck.
Her gaze passed over the horrified Zeng Guangwen, Professor Shao and Wang Zhongmin, and finally landed on Yi Baohua's pale face.
"it's a pity."
"I still want to take you to death with me."
incite!
In the wind and rain, a short sound broke through the air suddenly.
A desolate and cold light suddenly appeared.
The tile in Xiao Shu's hand just cut a little bit of the oily skin, and then it immediately shattered, and the pieces flew out.
She turned her head in surprise, and a figure flew towards her and pushed her down.
It is Li Changan who has disappeared for a long time.
However, the Xiangtang is old after all, and the tiled roof cannot bear the weight of two adults.
After wailing "Kacha", it suddenly collapsed.
Then, there was a burst of smoke and dust flying in the hall, and there was a clanging sound.
Professor Shao and his colleagues felt anxious again.
Fortunately, Li Changan's voice soon came from the room.
"It's okay, my leg is broken."
He added another sentence.
"Desolate."
…………
Xiao Shu fell and fainted on the spot.
When she woke up again, she was guarded by several men who were waiting for her.
But she herself was very calm.
To comfort others, she said that she actually suffered from depression. She had an attack of the disease before and lost control for a while, but now she has recovered. Let everyone rest assured that she is still young and has a bright future. How could she really be willing to die?
But.
Wait for everyone to relax a little.
Instead, she quietly picked up a brick that was originally used as a base for the table's legs.
Aim the corners at your temples.
Boom!
In an instant, blood splashed and stained the red and blue bricks.
But she was too weak after all, so she couldn't hit it accurately, let alone kill herself, so she grabbed the brick with both hands and threw it with all her strength...
Then he cried loudly without warning, and allowed the few people who had just reacted to push him down on the bed, with tears and snot all over the quilt, wailing: "Help me! Help me!"
But after a few minutes, she gradually calmed down and was able to talk, joke, and lie. She always tried to push away the people around her. Then she got a rope and put it around her neck. She got a sharp instrument and stabbed her heart, trying to hit the wall.
, tried to jump off a building, and even bit his tongue to commit suicide like on TV.
But at every critical moment, she would suddenly break down and give up, crying in horror:
"I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"
After a few twists and turns, everyone figured it out.
When Xiao Shu was calm, she wanted to die; but after her mind collapsed, she had a normal desire to live.
She is crazy when she is awake, and she is sober when she is crazy. Her spirit swings repeatedly between the two until...
In front of the door.
Yi Baohua took a deep breath.
He had just woken up and without thinking much, he hurriedly came to look for Xiao Shu.
It really feels like he is standing here.
My shoulder still hurts constantly.
What attitude should he use towards the girl behind the door?
When he was entangled in his heart, hesitating to advance or retreat, his hand had already opened the door on its own initiative, and his eyes had found the person who made his heart turn upside down.
She was curled up on the bed, her long, silky hair now like a pile of withered grass, her face frightened and pale, like a fragile white paper.
"Xiao Xiao."
"Baohua?"
Xiao Shu's body trembled, he quickly turned his head, wiped away his tears, straightened his hair, and forced a smile:
"How are you doing?"
Yi Baohua's tone was very cold: "Not dead."
The girl's tears suddenly burst into tears again. She wanted to go over, but Zeng Guangwen stopped her with lingering fear. She had no choice but to cry to Yi Baohua through the obstacle:
"I'm sorry! Baohua, I didn't mean to do that. Really, I didn't want to do that. It was... there was a voice." She put her finger on her head and drilled it fiercely, "It's hidden in my brain, it's deceiving me." Mine, it forced me, it wanted me to die, it wanted me to die with you!"
Yi Baohua listened calmly, sighed softly, then silently stepped forward, asked Zeng Guangwen to let go of Xiao Shu, and then raised his arm.
Xiao Shu couldn't help but shrink back.
She originally thought that what was waiting for her was a slap or a fist, but no, what Yi Baohua gave her was an embrace.
Surprise bloomed on You's tearful face.
She carefully leaned into Yi Baohua's arms.
"I'm sorry." He choked, "I didn't mean it."
"I trust you."
"real?"
The girl laughs briskly.
"Then why don't you want to die with me?"
All of a sudden.
The air in the room seemed to be frozen.
Until everyone woke up from a dream and tried to fight Xiao Shu away.
The girl's laughter changed from brisk to sharp, then from sharp to frightened, and finally became hysterical.
Everything is as before.
The short-lived warmth is like a bubble.
Yi Baohua was left alone in silence.
"Infatuated men and resentful women are really the most troublesome things in the world."
Li Changan shook his head in a low voice, walked straight past him, took out the rope he had prepared earlier, tied up Xiao Shu in a big way, stuffed a large cloth ball into his mouth, and tied it tightly with tape.
After some neat operations.
Li Changan clapped his hands and faced everyone's dull eyes.
