It seemed like she was really having fun. I suddenly realized that she really just came here for fun and didn’t have any other thoughts. On the contrary, I still couldn’t let go. She was more like a tourist than me. Come on, do whatever you want.
So what, I put the bracelet on her hand, again, it’s not my money spent anyway.
"I will treasure it well." Shuiyue said with a smile. She seemed really happy. Hey, she has been suppressed for too long, so it's time to relax.
We continued to set off, and finally arrived at the village where Liu Yingying lived in the evening. A standard mountain village has dozens of households. Liu Yingying’s home has three tile-roofed houses, a yard, and two more at the gate.
The rooms are all made of earth, but the house is kept very clean.
There is a well in the yard, and next to it is a small vegetable garden, which is full of vegetables and well-kept. A green brick road leads directly to the main room, with tall shelves set up on both sides of the road, covered with loofahs.
Liu Yingying had been waiting in the yard for a long time. She smiled happily when she saw us and greeted us warmly. There were tea and melon seeds, and we chatted while drinking tea.
I found that she was the only one at home, so I couldn't help but ask her where her husband and children were? Who else was at home?
At this point, the smile on her face faded, and I saw a hint of sadness in her eyes. She said that her husband and children were in the room, and there were also her parents-in-law at home. Her father-in-law went out for a walk, and her mother-in-law knew that we
If you want, go to the street to buy groceries.
I heard the problem in her words. Since my husband was at home but did not come out to entertain us, there was obviously something wrong. When talking about the children, there was always a painful look in her eyes. I had a hunch in my heart that maybe her husband and children
None of them are "ordinary people".
When the sun was about to set, her mother-in-law finally came back. She was a very kind old lady. As soon as she came back, she hurriedly made food for us. Soon her father-in-law also came back, but there was something abnormal about this old man.
He keeps mumbling something, and he talks in a stilted way. He often says things that others can't understand. I guess he may have a mental problem.
The old lady had prepared some light food. When I saw the old lady bringing some food into the room, I confirmed my guess.
It should be a very happy thing to have so many people eating together, but everyone seemed to feel something, but no one spoke.
After a hasty meal, it was getting dark. The old lady came out of the room again, looked at the sky, and then hurriedly closed the door. She also told us to rest here at night and not wait until it gets dark.
Go out again.
This statement itself sounds strange, why can't we go out when it's dark? Each of us feels that there is a problem, but no one asks it out. Guests can do whatever they want, as long as it doesn't affect others.
But where to rest for so many people became a problem. There were only two empty rooms, and one room did not have a bed. After discussion, the five girls rested in the room, and the eight of us men made beds in the yard.
That’s it.
Liu Qingping slept in a tent with me. This guy couldn't hold it in any longer. As soon as he got into the tent, he rushed to me and said: "Wang Fo, why do I feel that everything here is weird? They even seem to be taboo about talking. It's so weird."
Normal."
Not only was it abnormal, it was simply weird. The old man was very talkative, and the old lady was also mysterious. Even Liu Yingying, who was the most normal person, seemed to be deliberately hiding something, about what happened to her family or the people in her family.
The question doesn’t need to be like this, there must be some secrets that we don’t know about.
The old lady’s behavior is the most suspicious. Why can’t she go out when it’s dark? What are they afraid of?
These thoughts flooded my mind and made me a little confused. This is an "occupational disease" I have developed recently. Whenever I hear or see something weird, I want to figure it out.
Liu Qingping couldn't bear it any more than I did. As soon as he lay down, he got up again, put on his clothes and crawled out.
About ten minutes later, he came back with a look of enlightenment. When he saw me, he said: "Sir, I understand why Liu Yingying is always so sad. She and her husband don't get along! I just heard her quarreling with her husband.
"
"Are you sick? You go under people's windows at night and eavesdrop. What would it be like to be seen?" I scolded him, but I was also full of curiosity. Is it just that the couple doesn't get along?
Finally, I couldn't help but go out amidst Liu Qingping's laughter. The lights were still on in the house, and I quietly touched under the couple's window.
Sure enough, they were still fighting. A sickly male voice kept shouting "Get out, get out!" while Liu Yingying was begging in a low voice, but what she got in return was insults. I listened.
I couldn't help but feel angry. Liu Yingying seemed to be a very virtuous woman. What's wrong with treating her like this? Did she make some unforgivable mistake?
Soon the quarrel finally stopped, I heard the door open, and then I saw Liu Yingying trotting out of the room, and then walked directly to the back of the house.
After thinking about it, I followed her and finally saw her standing under an old jujube tree sobbing, seemingly very sad. I came directly behind her and said softly: "Is he not good to you?"
Liu Yingying stopped crying, turned to look at me, and suddenly threw herself into my arms and started crying. She was really sad. I didn't bother her. If she wanted to cry, let her cry as much as she wanted. Maybe she would cry.
I will feel better after that. I found that being able to cry is also a good thing. Just like me, I can’t cry when I want to.
"What should I do? What should I do? He told me to get out. He repeats this sentence every day, but my home is here, where can I go?"
"What happened, can you tell me?" I asked her after she stopped crying. It was obvious that there were many things hidden in her heart, not just what we saw on the surface.
She slowly sat on the ground, holding her knees with her hands, and I was waiting. If she wanted to say something, she would say it. If she didn't want to say anything, it would be useless to ask.
"Let's start from five years ago. When I returned to my hometown after graduation..." She still said it, and slowly she finally understood the pain in her heart.
At that time, although Liu Yingying was a little introverted, she was a very cheerful girl. Her cheerfulness continued until she returned to her hometown after graduation. Her original wish was to become a teacher in a school in her hometown and help the children here to move towards a broader future.
world.
But something unexpected happened. Not long after she returned to her hometown, she lost her parents and all her assets due to a fire. During her most difficult time, she met her husband Yueyang. This was a very energetic young man.
Yue Yang helped her handle her parents' funeral, and then found a job for her as a teacher in an elementary school in the town. She finally fulfilled her wish.
Two years later, she married Yueyang. Her mother-in-law was very kind to her and her husband loved her very much. Her life was very happy.
In the third year, her and Yueyang's child was born. It was a boy. The whole family was very happy and loved her even more. If nothing unexpected happened, this virtuous woman would live happily throughout her life.
But when the child was two years old, something happened one night. She just went to the toilet, and when she came back, she suddenly found that her son and husband were missing. She thought it was just her husband holding the child to play, so she didn't care.
But after waiting for two hours, her husband did not come back. She started to search in the village, but could not find him all over the village. She felt that something was wrong, so she called her parents-in-law and finally some neighbors.
We searched together for a whole night, and finally found our husband and son in a ravine outside the village.
That time, disaster struck from the sky. No one knew what happened to them. Although both husband and son survived, the husband's spine was broken, and the son changed from a cute little boy who could call mom and dad.
He became a stupid child who could not speak, walk or even cry.
Since then, her life has undergone earth-shaking changes. Every time she asks her husband what happened that night, Yue Yang always becomes very anxious and frightened. And his personality has also undergone tremendous changes, becoming
She is getting more and more irritable and unhuman. He often beats and scolds her, and always tortures her in different ways. Sometimes he even makes her take off her clothes and stand for a long time in the winter. It has been so bad for several years in a row.
She was a little tired both physically and mentally.
She still doesn't know what happened that night. But since that incident, babies have often gone missing in the village. There have been seven or eight missing in the past few years, and now the children are afraid to stay here.
And when you get home at night, every house will close the door tightly, and no one dares to go out at night.
They also called the police, but they couldn't find out what the problem was, and in the end they could only classify it as an unsolved case.
The old people in the village said that those children were taken away and eaten by monsters. No one knew whether they were monsters or wild beasts.
After listening to her narration, I was also very shocked. No wonder the old lady closed the door tightly in the evening. It turns out that there are still such weird things here.
"Then have you ever thought about leaving here? If you want, I can help you." I said, and I can only say this. If she really wants to leave here, I should help her within the scope of my ability.
But she shook her head and said, "No, I won't leave. This is my home. My husband loves me very much and I love them too. I don't want to leave them."
"If he treats you like that, will he still love you? Are you not resentful or resentful in your heart?"
"No, it is precisely because of this that it shows that he loves me. He tortures me in various ways just to force me away. I understand his heart, he just doesn't want to drag me down. I have seen him alone several times
When a person cries secretly, he is actually torturing himself."
I remained silent. If this was the case, then her husband was really a good man. If this matter were left to me, I might not be able to make such a decision.
