The area is also very small, probably only thirty or forty square meters, and the narrow area is directly separated by partitions between the inner and outer rooms.
And looking at the limping appearance of this old woman, it is obvious that this partition should have been separated by Yuan Shu back then. It should be to avoid suspicion between the brother and sister, right?
Su Xian suddenly felt a little...
It seems that if I and Taotao lived in this kind of place, I wouldn't use the partition, right?
and……
Su Tao probably won't mention this matter. The brother and sister will stay in the same room and rest together... If necessary, they will go out to avoid suspicion. Even if it is troublesome, they will never think of using a partition to separate them!
It's like...just like the almost transparent staircase at home.
It seems that I haven't had time to replace it yet.
Did she forget? Or is she used to it?
There is only one person in the family who likes to wear skirts, Taotao... If she is troubled, she is the only one.
Why didn't she mention it?
Girls should be on guard against their own sex all the time, right?
Why didn't she guard herself?
Do you hope that there will be no gap between brothers and sisters?
Su Xian's breathing relaxed unconsciously, and she did not dare to think further.
He put aside the strange feeling, focused on business, and asked: "Who are you?"
"My surname is Zhou!"
The old woman limped to the table and poured a cup of boiling water. But looking at the dirty cup and Su Xian, who was well-dressed, she was silent for a while, put down the cup, and asked: "You
Is it the Yuan family?"
Her voice was hoarse, with a bit of a stutter.
Su Xian did not admit it and said, "I am Yuan Shu's friend."
"Friend? Where is he?"
"He has something to do and can't come back. He asked me to do something for him."
The old woman smiled bitterly, "I knew he would definitely come back. Even if he couldn't come back, he would find someone to take his place... Sigh... I have lived in vain for so many years, and he is finally coming back to kill me."
Su Xian asked again, "Who are you?"
"My surname is Zhou, and I haven't used my given name for many years... People here call me Granny Zhou."
With a self-deprecating smile on her old face, Granny Zhou said: "I'm not a particularly extraordinary person. I grew up in this slum since I was a child. I was quite pretty when I was young, so I lived a pretty good life. Later, although
My appearance has faded in my old age, but I have saved a lot of money. In addition to the subsidies from my neighbors, I also collect some garbage and sell it to make a living. I think my life is pretty good... Speaking of which, the Yuan Shu brothers and sisters moved here.
When I was here, I happened to be their neighbor. Occasionally, I would cook something delicious and ask the little girl to come over and have a bite or two... In the blink of an eye, it has been so many years."
Just a few sentences.
Su Jing already understood what she meant.
I grew up here since I was a child. When I was young, I was a street girl and made a living by prostitution...I have lived in this place my whole life.
His eyes fell on the old woman's peculiar feet and asked: "Then what happened to your legs?"
The old woman said: "It was Yuan Shu who interrupted."
Su Xian asked: "Why did he break your leg?"
"Because...because..."
The old woman smiled bitterly and said: "Because I led the way for those beasts and brought them to the door of Zhenzhen's house... because they promised to give me 2,000 star coins, 2,000 star coins. When I was young, I also had to take one hundred
Only one customer can earn so much. They said that they are Zhenzhen’s brothers in the martial arts school, and they came here specially to visit Zhenzhen. I can see it. I have experienced so many people when I was young, and I still know how to read people’s words. I can see that they
I didn’t have good intentions, but 2,000 star coins, I have never held so much money in my life, and the most it was really... I didn’t take it seriously, they were all girls from the slums, I was young
When she betrayed her, why did she love herself so much? So I became obsessed with it, showed them the way, brought them to the door of Zhenzhen’s house, and then watched her being taken away by those people in a daze, and then never again.
return."
Su Xian said: "So Yuan Shu knew about this and broke your leg?"
The old woman nodded, "When Yuan Shu came back, he ran impulsively for revenge, but his legs were broken and thrown back... And the slum is so big, nothing can be hidden from anyone. When Yuan Shu comes back, he will naturally know who told those people
He took the position of her sister, so before he left Donglin Star, he broke my legs and welded them with iron rods. He said that after he came back and killed those people, he would kill me again, and then I would know.
, he will definitely come back, I was scared at first, but later, I slowly became less scared, and instead... I was looking forward to him coming back, looking forward to him killing me!"
She smiled bitterly, "The slums are just that big. She is really beautiful and warm. She knows martial arts and protects people in the slums. Everyone likes her, so... I hurt her, and everyone hates me."
, they wouldn’t sell me anything, and the landlord wouldn’t let me rent the house I rented before. They even wanted to kick me out, but where could I go? I’ve lived in this place all my life, and I didn’t
I have been to the outside world, so I simply moved into Zhenzhen’s room, waiting for Yuan Shu... waiting for him to come back, waiting for him to kill me. You may not believe it, but I haven’t spoken to you in two years, and no one cares about me.
, I am old, and living like this is really not as good as death..."
"Then why didn't you admit it just now?"
The old woman said softly: "You are not Yuan Shu, how can I dare to admit that you... you are Yuan Shu's friend, what are you doing here this time?"
Su Xian said: "Do what he wants to do for him."
"Do you want to kill me...that would be great."
The old woman hesitated for a moment and said, "But can you go to a place with me first?"
"Where?"
"You'll know when you get here."
The old woman limped out of the room with a cane.
Su Xian followed her...
Along the way, he watched the old woman trembling, and around him... he could clearly detect the cold gazes.
Full of hostility, even...
Even he, who was standing with her, was stared at fiercely.
It seems that she is right, she has been disliked by everyone here...
Su Xian glanced at the cold eyes beside him, and felt something in his heart.
The old woman walked very slowly...
Su Xian was not in a hurry and did not rush her.
After walking for about half an hour, the surrounding environment became increasingly deserted and remote.
Until they came to a funeral mound.
"This is it."
The road got worse, and the old woman was already disabled, so walking was even more difficult. She tremblingly arrived at a very simple tombstone...
He bowed respectfully three times and said, "This is Zhenzhen's tomb."
Su Xian was shocked: "Yuan Zhen's real tomb? Didn't she die without a complete body?"
The old woman smiled bitterly and said: "I have only gone out to the slums once in my life. My original intention was to find her. I felt guilty. I thought that even if she was ruined, as long as she was still alive, I would bring her back. But I didn't expect that...
In the garbage cans around the extreme martial arts gym, I only saw the mutilated body that had been eaten by dogs. I recognized her clothes, so I helped her collect the bones, but she was already mutilated at that time. I walked around the martial arts hall.
I picked up a lot of bones from the trash can and the dog's mouth. They should be hers, and there may be other people's, but people are dead. How can I care so much? It's better to have a tombstone than to be a tombstone.
The lonely ghost is strong, at least he has a destination..."
