The thin blade of the knife was inserted along the crack of the door. Thirteen gently opened the door with the knife, stepped over the high threshold and walked into the inner hall. This place was different from the traditional inner hall in the country. There was a huge sign of good fortune, wealth and longevity.
There are portraits, couplets hanging in the center, old wooden tables, long benches, cement floors without tiles covered with dust, family photos hanging on the walls next to them, nothing unusual can be found.
But the ringtone came from the dining room, and the aroma of rice wafting in the air made Shisan feel a little hungry. Following the ringtone, he continued to walk in. The door of the dining room was wide open, and there was a round table full of people sitting there.
We have a family of 6, two children, two elderly people, and a couple.
The food on the table was sumptuous with fish and meat, but strangely, the family members at this table didn't know how to eat. The floor was covered with rice and dishes.
The sound of the bells comes from the dog collars around their necks. Small copper bells are hung on the collars. These are obviously things for animals. For some reason, they wear them without any resistance. The bells make a crisp sound along with their movements.
sound.
Thirteen accidentally touched the door panel and made a squeaking sound. A little girl with her back to him slowly turned her head. Thirteen trembled all over. He saw that the little girl's eyes and mouth were covered with black lines.
They were sewn together, and they kept trying to open their mouth to eat, causing the black thread to pull on the wound and bleeding out. The rice grains were stained all over the chin and were dyed red. What was even more frightening was that Thirteen's sudden interruption made the girl start working hard.
When he opened his sutured eyes, his eyelids were torn apart by black lines, and blood instantly flowed from the wound, as if he was shedding bloody tears.
Taking a closer look, I saw a family of six, with their eyes and mouths all sewn shut. They were so bloody that they couldn't speak, and they couldn't see the light. When they felt Thirteen's presence, they immediately came over like ghosts.
Thirteen locked the door of the dining room with his backhand and quickly returned to the street. The originally empty street was bustling with people. There were peasant women carrying vegetable baskets to buy vegetables, and farmers carrying hoes preparing to go to the fields.
There are also children playing in front of the door.
All of them had dog bell collars hanging around their necks, and their eyes and mouths were sewn shut. They looked so ferocious and yet so peaceful.
Thirteen must control his movements very carefully. As long as he does not touch the bodies of these people with stitches or make any noise, they will treat Thirteen as nothing but air.
The wind was still mixed with all kinds of gossip, and these words of unknown origin were all pointed at a woman. After hearing enough, Thirteen gradually figured out some clues...
Xiao Tianyu's mother is called Lily, and she is a famous beauty in the countryside. She studied in a provincial capital, received a higher education, and also worked in a white-collar job in a first-tier city. However, she had to return to the town where she was born because of family debt.
, married to the only son of the Tian family, a wealthy family in the village.
The neighbors are all envious, or to put it bluntly, they are jealous. The parents are feuding and various rumors spread, saying that Lily is not doing a glorious job in the city. In addition, Lily did not fall in love on her first wedding night, which makes the Tian family feel like a thorn in the throat, and the husband's family
He was treated like an enemy and a servant. The husband was a cruel and unreasonable farmer who liked to drink. He often beat his wife after drinking.
This state did not improve until Lily became pregnant. The Tian family is a single generation of three generations. The family has a house and a field, and their desire for incense is almost crazy. Her husband also loved Lily during her pregnancy, and even stopped drinking and smoking, and asked her if she was loving her.
When Lily thought her good days were finally coming, she encountered dystocia and severe bleeding during delivery. The doctor had no choice but to remove Lily's uterus. It was under this background that Xiao Tianyu was born...
A daughter, a wife who can no longer bear children, all the worst endings gathered together, the bad news swept through the Tian family like a bolt from the blue, and the surrounding neighbors regarded it as a joke, ridiculed, and gossiped.
When Lily was in confinement, she was forced to work in the fields, wash clothes and cook. She fainted in front of the stove several times and her mother-in-law said she was pretending to be dead. Confinement sickness disappeared from then on.
Her husband even resumed the habit of smoking and drinking, and domestic violence intensified. But Lily has been struggling to support her, because Oda Yu is innocent and needs her mother's care and milk. Even if her chest is covered with scars, she must let Oda Yu
Rain is full.
The inhuman life lasted until Xiao Tianyu was 3 years old, until Lily couldn't bear it and wanted to file for divorce. She discussed the matter with her parents, hoping that they would support her and support her in bringing Tian Yu to live with her. Unfortunately, her parents did not support Lily's decision.
, one of the reasons why they still owe a large amount of debt to the Tian family is also because Lily has lost her fertility and has to be a single mother to take care of her children.
After they saw the scars on their daughter's body, they just coldly advised her to endure the calm for a while and live in peace for the rest of her life...
Lily's desire for divorce was somehow known to her husband. The husband who drank that night beat Lily inhumanely all night long. For him, Lily was the source of all the evil. Apart from her beauty, she was nothing but beautiful.
Neither, but you actually want to abandon your husband?
That night, Xiao Tianyu had been hiding in the cabinet and did not dare to come out. She watched her mother being beaten black and blue by her father, but she only dared to cry silently in the cabinet.
This also became a nightmare that Oda Yu could never forget, because his mother hanged herself after that night...
The Tian family held a hasty funeral and agreed to forgive all debts of the in-laws, but Lily's parents never pursued the matter again.
Everything feels like a vulgar tragic Qiong Yao drama, but it actually happened in this unknown small town. Before Lily had passed her first seven years, the Tian family was already making arrangements to fill a house for their son and give birth to a boy.
Oda Yu grew up in this unwelcoming environment until the formation of the Nightmare Beast when he was four years old...
Thirteen found Xiao Tianyu's home according to the address on Tian Yu's identity card. This is a single-family three-story building. The shape of the glazed tiles and the walls covered with colorful ceramics with the words "Five Blessings and Gifts" make this home better than the next one.
The neighbors are more impressive. I guess the Tian family’s reputation as a big family in the town is not just blown away.
"You don't want to go in, you shouldn't even come to a place like this. You can't save anyone, you are just an unwelcome intruder." Just as Shisan's hand touched the courtyard of the house
When the door opened, Xiao Tianyu stood there beside the wall and said in a calm voice.
"You are too closed-minded. I just want to talk to you. Maybe we can solve some problems in a good way." Shisan smiled helplessly.
"The way you hold the knife is really unconvincing." Xiao Tianyu made a face and stuck out his tongue.
"I'm scared." When Shisan looked back, Xiao Tianyu had disappeared.
Cut off the finger-thick iron chain with a swipe of the knife, Thirteen pushed open the courtyard door and walked in. Everything in the courtyard was just like yesterday, the faucet for washing vegetables was still flowing with tap water, and the kitchen stove was on The steaming and painful steamed buns were still steaming, as if the owner had temporarily left due to something urgent.
But Thirteen frowned at this moment, because the air was filled with the smell he was most familiar with and hated the most... blood.
Thirteen quickly rushed up the steps and rushed into the alley. This place was like the most inhumane slaughterhouse. Blood was smeared everywhere and the floor tiles were soaked red. The ceiling was covered with spattered blood spots, and the walls were stained with blood. There are also handprints left by blood, and the scratches are so deep that they are even inlaid with the broken nails of the deceased. You can imagine how painful the owner of these bloods was at the moment of death.
Thirteen picked up the knife and climbed up the blood-stained stairs. The continuous blood stains spread all the way into the master bedroom on the third floor. The scene in front of him made the well-informed Thirteen feel like he wanted to vomit.
I saw that the huge room was full of broken corpses, and the various internal organs were more complete than the pork stalls in the vegetable market. A skinless hunting dog with a body length of more than 2 meters was squatting in front of a chest, gnawing on the bones. flesh and blood. The dog wears the same bell as the townspeople around its neck. Every time it bites, the bell will make a crisp tinkling sound.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Suddenly, a voice came from behind Thirteen. Thirteen was frightened and turned around immediately. What he saw was a woman with disheveled hair, wearing a white knee-length dress and a pair of bright red high heels. Standing in a pool of blood, the thick dark circles under his eyes could not cover up his innately delicate face, which looked very similar to Xiao Tianyu. Even if Shisan thought about it with his buttocks, he could understand that this was Xiao Tianyu’s mother, Lily. Bar.
"Lily... I already know what happened to you." Thirteen put down the knife and tried to make his face look more sincere and friendly.
"Are you talking about the gossip in the wind? I'm sorry, I have been trying to clear out these sentences, but even if I seal the eyes and mouths of everyone here, it is in vain. Because these are the words Xiao Tianyu has heard, This is her nightmare, and I can't stop her from generating these things." Lily smiled softly. This woman, who was only a year old, had a comfortable intimacy and intelligence, like the kind of evil that could be explained. ghost.
"Things have happened, and the people who hurt you have been killed by you. Your wish should have been fulfilled. Why not let your daughter go, she can't live with you on her back, sometimes let go and let the children grow up, as a parent It’s something that must be done.” Thirteen learned with emotion and moved with reason.
"Mr. Thirteen, I heard Xiao Tianyu call you this. From the fact that you can come here, it can be seen that you are by no means idle. But can you understand the situation before speaking? Do you think I am doing it because of my own hatred? Killing? The only meaning of my existence is that Xiao Tianyu needs my care.
I will do all the duties of a mother to protect her, and I will not let anyone hurt her, because anyone who wants to hurt her must die." Lily told the tragic reality with a charming smile, Thirteen I retract my previous assessment of this woman. She is not a reasonable evil ghost, and is more terrifying than ordinary evil ghosts. She lives for others.
"In that case, rest in peace, woman." Thirteen's body rotated 360 degrees, and the bright blade slid out of a full circle in the air, slashing from above. What was terrifying was that Thirteen's blade actually hovered on
In front of Lily.
"You seem to have made a mistake, Mr. Thirteen. This is my world. To you, I am the god of this world."
