Chapter 68 Chapter 68
Gu Jianghe led the child down. Grandma was startled when she saw it, and said, isn't this Xiaoran?How did it happen?You went up the mountain alone?Where is your grandpa?
Before Gu Jianghe could think of a reason, the child opened his mouth, saying that he had come up to the mountain to pick fruit, and accidentally fell down and got scratched on his face by a branch.
Those scars were all covered up by the clothes, so at a glance, they really looked like what he said.
Grandma walked all the way, talking about the third master all the way, and never looked at the child, what if something happened.
Gu Jianghe caught a glimpse of the child's sarcastic smile from the corner of his eye, and when he looked over again, he restrained his expression again, and answered quietly, saying that he didn't blame grandpa, but that he was playful.
Gu Jianghe's mood became more and more heavy.
Back in the village, grandma put down the cart and went to open the door.
Gu Jianghe was thinking about what to do next, the child said thank you grandma, and went back first.
Gu Jianghe was startled, and blurted out: "No!"
Both the grandmother and the child looked at him.
Gu Jianghe couldn't look directly into the child's eyes at all. He braced himself and said to his grandmother, "It's not safe to be alone. I'll send him there."
Grandma just said "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Gu Jianghe still harbored hope, thinking about what might happen.
Maybe someone in his family didn't do it, and he'll be safe at home.
After delivering it to the door of the house, the third master happened to be leading the cow and came from another direction. When he saw the child, he was taken aback for a moment.
The three stood at the door and looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.
It was very quiet for a while.
The old man held the cow in his hand, as if wondering why he didn't go in at the door of the house, nudged the old man's back lightly with his nose, and mooed.
When the people in the house heard the bleating of the cow, they shouted, "Dad?"
Then come out from the back room.
Hearing his voice, the child took a step back involuntarily.
The man walked out of the house into the sun.
Squinted by the light, he saw the two children standing outside staring at him.
He sneered, and said leisurely: "A rare visitor, children from the city also come to visit?"
Gu Jianghe fell into an ice cave for an instant.
He couldn't hear the voice wrong, it was this person.
He is that "monster".
In an instant, he had the desire to run away, and before pulling his legs, he suddenly realized it.
No, kid.
The child cannot go back, how can I take the child away?
The child raised his head and looked at him calmly: "I'm home, you go back, or grandma will come looking for you later."
Gu Jianghe wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.
He watched the child walk into the house step by step, feeling extremely anxious, but he couldn't stop him, so he could only watch helplessly.
The child walked to the side of the man before turning around and looking at him.
He saw the pleading in his eyes.
He seemed to smile, and thanked Gu Jianghe.
Then he went straight into the house.
The man stared at Gu Jianghe maliciously, making Gu Jianghe unable to move.
It was the third master who stopped and asked the man to come over and lead the cow in for him.
"I happen to have something to talk to your grandma, let's go, let's go there together." The third master said to Gu Jianghe.
The man obediently went to pick up the cow, and Gu Jianghe finally got a little relief.
Then came another panic.
He faintly felt something was wrong.
The child's grandpa... didn't he know it at all?
When he got home, the old man went to talk to his grandmother, and Gu Jianghe sat there with his head in a mess.
His first reaction was to let the child run away.
Then I thought, where to escape?He is only so young that he doesn't even know a few words.
Is it safe outside?What's more, where can I escape to?If you are caught...
Then I thought, call the police?
But it's useless to call the police. Only girls are protected by the law.
What's more, if he guessed correctly, that man is useless at all.
This is at best domestic violence.
How long can domestic violence be locked up?This kind of injury can only be considered a minor injury if you go for an inspection.
correct!And the Children's Defense Society!
Gu Jianghe finally thought of it.
He found the child, asked his wishes, and said that if he agreed, he would go to the Children's Protection Association.
After listening to the child, he asked him calmly: "Then where will they send me?"
If the mother or other relatives are not enough, transfer to the orphanage.
"My mother won't want me," the child replied with a smile, without any sad expression, and then asked Gu Jianghe, "Is there no pervert in the orphanage? Who will adopt me? Can I decide?"
No.
Gu Jianghe met Gu Yuan and his wife, but he couldn't guarantee that Zhou Shuran would also meet a good family.
Gu Jianghe felt a burst of despair, and he comforted him in vain, saying that it was better than being here, and that if he went out, there would still be many possibilities.
Zhou Shuran shook his head, stood up, and comforted him with a smile, saying that it was all right, and it would be over soon.
Gu Jianghe didn't understand what it meant to pass quickly.
He thought Zhou Shuran meant that he would grow up soon, and when he grew up, this monster would not attack him.
In the winter when Gu Jianghe was 15 years old, one day before Chinese New Year, Zhou Shuran came to play with him.
The two were struggling to pull the old couplet on the door when they suddenly saw someone running from the direction of Zhou Shuran's house, shouting that someone had fallen into the pond.
So a group of youngsters immediately scattered what they had in their hands and ran to the pond.
Gu Jianghe stood there in a daze, with a certain guess in his heart.
He looked down at Zhou Shuran who was holding the ladder.
Zhou Shuran looked at him with sparkling eyes, and smiled happily: "Who do you think is so unlucky and fell into the pond?"
Gu Jianghe's entire brain went blank.
He looked at Zhou Shuran, not knowing what to say.
The "monster" died, the day before the Chinese New Year.
This year, Gu Jianghe lived in a trance.
He felt a sense of relief, but another kind of heaviness that made him unable to breathe.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Shuran went around to pay New Year's greetings in plump clothes and beaming.
He was not as happy as if his father had died, but as if he had picked up money.
He has never had such a happy New Year.
The old man washed his face with tears all day long, crying to the dead and Zhou Shuran.
Zhou Shuran's father is an ed, and no one knows except himself.
Lord Wednesday didn't know either.
After marrying a daughter-in-law and entering the house, only the second person knew about this matter.
The daughter-in-law was timid, and the man threatened her that if she dared to speak out, she would be killed.
She believed it, so she didn't dare to say anything.
This woman is timid, but her mouth is strict.
She never let the second person know about the man's ed.
After she became pregnant, who her adulterer was, she was beaten to death without telling the man.
Seeing him beating his pregnant daughter-in-law, the old man hurriedly stopped him, and only then did he find out that his son was useless.
a farce.
The two fathers finally decided to let the woman give birth to the child.
What the old man meant was that at least there would be someone to take care of in the future.
Anyway, there are no offspring, whoever it is is the same.And if you have a child, you won't be talked about by your neighbors.
The man is wearing a cuckold, so he naturally refuses to let it go.
Domestic violence is inevitable.
The woman couldn't bear the beating. After giving birth to the child, she hugged the child and knelt in front of the old man, begging him to let them let her go.
The old man was soft-hearted and agreed.
Talking badly to men, soft and hard.
In the end, the relationship ended when the woman was beaten and sent to the hospital.
The old man knew that his son would hurt others when he got angry.
So when he saw the injury on his grandson, he didn't take it to heart.
Thinking that it might be the son who couldn't help beating someone again.
He has a sort of closeness in his heart, a grandson who is not related by blood, after all, is still inferior to the son he gave birth to.
So I turned a blind eye and closed my eyes, suffering from conscience day after day.
The old man couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart, couldn't look down, so he could only hide.
Often it's a whole day when you go out.
He didn't know what Zhou Shuran was suffering when he was not at home.
On the penultimate day before the New Year, after he came back from Lao Li's house, he didn't see Zhou Shuran. He thought that the child had gone to Gu Jianghe's house again, and he was relieved, thinking that he would suffer less if he didn't go home. .
The chickens in the chicken coop were screaming for a while. He heard the noise, and led the cow back to the cowshed, went to wash a handful of rice, and then came over with the grains. Am I here to feed you?"
When he approached the chicken coop, he saw something was wrong.
There are not only chickens locked in the chicken coop, but also Zhou Shuran, who is naked.
The old man was so frightened that the basin in his hand fell to the ground and he didn't notice it. He tried to open the chicken coop with trembling hands, but found that it was locked.
The child squatted inside, with his face buried in his knees, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
The old man grabbed the ax from the ground and quickly split the chicken coop.
The chickens scattered, screaming and running around, making chicken feathers all over the ground.
The old man almost didn't hang up in one breath, he almost knelt down and carried the child out.
The child felt the human warmth, trembled, and looked up at him.
His eyes were calm as if nothing happened.
There is no good flesh on his body, only his face looks clean, but his lips are blue from the cold.
He took off his clothes, wrapped Zhou Shuran around him, carefully carried him back to the room, and covered him with the quilt again.
When her body touched the bed, Zhou Shuran trembled in pain.
The old man cried so much that his eyes were dazzled, and kept saying sorry, sorry.
Zhou Shuran listened for a long time before opening his eyes and looking at him: "Didn't you always know?"
What are you pretending now?
The old man burst into tears when he heard this.
He knew that his son had a violent temper, but he didn't expect it to reach this level.
This isn't just mania anymore, it's sadism.
And he didn't care about it, and let his son torture the child into this appearance.
Zhou Shuran slowly sorted out his thoughts from his messy words.
Then I couldn't help laughing.
The old man was taken aback by his smile, and looked at him with some anxiety.
Zhou Shuran looked at the old man, and smiled maliciously: "Then you don't know that your son is a child lover, right?"
The old man was suddenly struck by lightning.
It was as if his spine had been pulled out all of a sudden, and his whole body collapsed.
He twitched his lips and looked at Zhou Shuran in disbelief.
Zhou Shuran thought it was funny, and really laughed out loud: "Do you want to say that you don't know? Don't you really know? You don't know what your son is doing through a door? When I cried, Didn't you hear?"
Of course not completely ignorant.
When he noticed that the position of the scars on Zhou Shuran's body was not right.
When he heard Zhou Shuran's desperate howl.
It's not that I didn't find it, I really didn't hear it.
I just kept hiding it from myself, deceiving myself.
I thought it wouldn't happen, it wouldn't happen like this, my son just had a bad temper, not a pervert.
Then this crumbling fig leaf was torn off by Zhou Shuran.
The man didn't come back that night. It was Chinese New Year, and many migrant workers came back. He went to a party with old friends.
When the old man went out in the morning, he told the old man that he would play cards and come back tomorrow.
One night is enough for the old man to fight against himself.
When the old man got up in the morning, when he was sharpening a kitchen knife at the door, a passing aunt told him that he saw his son by the pond, apparently drunk and swearing at others.
"Third Master, you should go and pull him back. This guy who celebrates the New Year said some unpleasant things. There are still people by the pond. It doesn't sound too good, does it?" The aunt wrinkled her face in disgust, and turned to the old man road.
The old man snorted, put down the kitchen knife, and walked towards the pond.
Zhou Shuran actually didn't expect that they would quarrel to the point of fighting, and even the man would accidentally trip over a tree stump and fall into the pond.
The man had a hangover overnight and was unconscious at first. The pond was frozen, and he struggled, but sank even further in.
The old man panicked at first, yelled, and was about to stretch out his hand to pull him, but he stopped halfway.
With such a hesitation, the best opportunity was missed.
When it was salvaged again, it was a cold corpse.
Zhou Shuran didn't know what the old man's original plan was, but seeing him crying so sadly, at least at first he definitely didn't want his son to die.
Zhou Shuran didn't really want him to die either, it would be too cheap for him.
But without a doubt, the man's death finally allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.
He wasn't very picky, although he felt very sorry for the man's death, but in the end he was relieved, so he was quite happy.
Gu Jianghe told him with a heavy heart that he wanted to laugh when he shouldn't have done this.
He asked Gu Jianghe: "What does this have to do with me?"
The man fell into the river and died, and when he died, the old man was beside him, not him.
At that time, he was at Gu Jianghe's house a few miles away, helping to post couplets.
In the whole thing, only one thing was planned by him, and that was to lock himself in the chicken coop.
Men do often put him in the chicken coop after the abuse, watch him being pecked by the frightened chickens, and then stand outside the chicken coop and laugh, saying that he is just like these chickens.
He has a deep psychological shadow on chickens.
But the man didn't do this yesterday. After the man finished those disgusting things, he walked out.
Zhou Shuran knew that he would not come back today, so he counted the time, thinking that the old man was about to come back, so he got into the chicken coop by himself.
His original plan was to let the old man see this scene.
Because he was too afraid of those chickens, he really didn't want to be locked in a chicken coop anymore.
At first, Zhou Shuran simply wanted to reduce the one thing that frightened him.
Or just replace it.
The old man saw it with his own eyes, at least he wouldn't raise chickens anymore, right?Even if it was locked in a cowshed, it would be better than facing those chickens.
Zhou Shuran simply wanted this result.
Unexpectedly, there will be a surprise.
Hearing that someone fell into the pond, he hoped it was that man from the bottom of his heart.
Perhaps it was because the hope was too strong that it was fulfilled.
Happiness is real, and so is innocence.
"It's not a pity for him to die. I even think it's cheap for him to die." Gu Jianghe squatted on the ground, holding a branch in his hand and drawing a circle there, with a very heavy expression, and looked at Zhou Shuran as he said, "But you can't be He influences you, you are still young, you still have a long way to go, you shouldn't get your hands dirty by such a beast."
Zhou Shuran was silent for a long time after hearing this.
He didn't mind Gu Jianghe's misunderstanding, in fact, he also hoped that he did it himself.
In that way, he will also have the pleasure of revenge.
So he didn't explain much. After pondering for a while, Zhou Shuran stood up.
He threw the wooden stick in his hand on the ground, patted the mud on his hands, then lowered his eyes and looked at Gu Jianghe: "I will not be influenced by him, he is not worthy. Look, I will go well, go very far."
Zhou Shuran, who said this, was only seven years old, thin and weak, like a small carrot head, which would break when the wind blows.
Ten years passed in a blink of an eye.
The little radish head has grown into a tall and handsome young man.
When he greeted people with a smile, he was so confident that no one could connect him with the shivering child squatting in the chicken coop, hugging his knees.
Zhou Shuran felt a sense of confusion when he learned that he had been wronged.
He immediately began to doubt life.
I couldn't help being sharp at first.
What was the suffering I suffered in the past few years?
He got into the car with his so-called biological parents.
When he was about to leave, Zhou Ya blocked the car door, called him, and looked at him.
This young man who had exchanged lives with him had eyes as clear as a spring.
He blocked the car door and asked him, "What's the address for the courier here?"
Looking into his eyes, Zhou Shuran seemed to see another self on his face.
A clean, carefree self.
The hand blocking the car door was wearing a bracelet, so familiar that Zhou Shuran suddenly thought he was delusional.
This is the periphery he designed for Brother Gu's book, he drew one by hand, and Brother Gu handed it over.
The first time I saw the finished product, it turned out to be in the hands of this young man who had an inexplicable fate with him.
He suddenly felt like laughing.
Fate is amazing.
Maybe it was infected by Gu Jianghe, the Holy Mother?When he saw the child was clean, he suddenly had an illusion of "I saved him".
When he drew the bracelet, he couldn't remember what was in his head.
When I saw it at this time, I suddenly had a strange feeling.
He looked at the bracelet, and it took him a long time to turn his eyes back to Zhou Ya's face, and suddenly he smiled.
……
Time seems to take everything away.
As if with the passage of time, everything can change.
So the gambler in everyone's mouth, who sent his pregnant wife to the hospital, beat his son until he wailed for help, and even awakened the next-door neighbor, also followed his death and time passed. The so-called "honest people".
His son, who was always covered with scars at that time, also became "not talkative and timid when he was young".
Many people forget, but someone always remembers.
Someone remembered it, and then made every effort to get out of this place.
There are also people who remember, and then work hard to be kind to the people around them, carefully observe everyone around them, for fear that they will repeat the same mistakes and suffer all kinds of suffering.
There are also people who have memorized it for a lifetime, and they will not be able to seek relief until they die.
The moment he was buried in the soil, the child who had received countless words of regret from him bowed to him, smiled and whispered to him, "I don't forgive."
I know you have been waiting for a lifetime, and it doesn't matter if you want to wait.
But it matters.
You die with guilt, and you have to continue to carry it when you die.
