Chapter 82:

The frog that had just been lifted out of the stone could not touch the dirty air outside. Therefore, Van Galo bought a three-foot square for it. A glass fish tank with a lid to isolate the inside from the outside can be placed on top. With a fish tank, it can't be regarded as a good dwelling, because there is only sloshing water inside, and there is no place to rest, which is very bad for the health of the frog.
For this reason, Van Gogh had to go to the flower and bird market in the middle of the night and bought some rockery, water plants, fine sand, snail shells and other things to make some bedding.
It was already three or four o'clock in the morning when he finally tossed. The little frog was placed in a cave in the rockery by curling up his short limbs and closing his eyes. He was motionless. If it was seen by people who weren't there, it would be considered that this frog is just a plastic product. Like those plants, sand, and shells, they are all used to decorate this glass jar toy.
But only careful people can find that the dried yellow film covering its surface has absorbed water and started to transform into a sticky jelly. When this jelly is completely dissolved by water, perhaps tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, this creature imprisoned for 100 years will be able to wake up from sleep. It may not understand what it has experienced, its lack of spiritual wisdom cannot explain the dark and hopeless past, but the survival instincts rooted in its genes have already prepared it for rebirth.
There is no doubt that this is a miracle of life.
Van Gaalo, the temporarily rented empty home, finally had some breath of life. He placed the bathtub on a small coffee table on the balcony, wrapped it with a magnetic field to isolate the dirty air from the outside, then sat down sideways, fascinated as the yellow film turned into a gel and melted into the water. He silently felt the whole process of a life from nothing, from dead to fresh.
This night, instead of lying in the bathtub to sleep, he sat quietly on the balcony until the morning dew wet his hair.
When he was addicted to this vitality of life, Xu Mu, who lived downstairs, stayed for a long time. In this home with more than 180 square meters, she has nowhere to hide. No matter where she is hiding, her children can always find her, and then stand opposite and gaze quietly.
This kind of intimidating deterrence is far more unbearable than direct and cruel violence. She will always be scared and screamed and cry for mercy from the haunted child. She tried to report to the police, but she did n’t explain what was threatening herself; she called her husband, and at first she would respond, asking her about the situation at home, learning that the child would never leave, and she was too lazy to talk to her. Having said that, she was directly blacklisted.
With nowhere to go, Ms. Xu could only call the community property, but no one answered there; she stood on the balcony and shouted for help, but this terrible voice was swallowed by the raging wind outside. . No one came to rescue her. In this building, painful struggles and cry of despair seemed to have become the norm.
Mother Xu was completely desperate, and it was only at this time that she finally understood what it means to be called Tiantian and should not be called earthly. In front of this walking corpse, violent beatings, relentless abuse, personality trampling, and hunger punishment are no longer useful, because he is already dead, and these pains are not felt and fearless. In the past, she let the child ask for help and had no way to escape; now, the child has also returned the pain to her one by one.
When she was curled up in a small cabinet and holding the door tightly to try to hypnotize that everything would be okay, her child used the thin arms to easily disassemble the door. She finally broke down, crying helplessly and begging helplessly: "Xu Yiyang, I know wrong, I shouldn't have beaten you and scold you, please let me go! I beg you to let me go!"
She cried with tears and a snot filled her mouth, but the child with a numb expression didn't give back at all. He just crouched in front of the cabinet door that he was completely broken and watched her with a pair of black holes.
There is no change of light and shadow in these eyes, no expression of emotion, only an endless darkness. Mother Xu could not peep into his inner world from these eyes, so she fell into deeper fear. She made sure that the child came back for revenge, he would torture himself to death.
The great fear finally turned into great courage. Xu somehow stretched out her hand and pushed the child fiercely, then crawled out of the cabinet with her hands and feet, picked up her mobile phone and purse and ran away. She ran wildly in the community, breathing heavily and breathing heavily, eyes squinting left and right, hoping to suddenly emerge a security guard in the dark corner to rescue herself.
She finally understood what the child was thinking about when she escaped from the house every time she could not bear being beaten up: he was also looking for someone to save himself.
But there was no one. There were lights and shadows cast by the street lights and the sand from the treetops, but no one was there.
Mother Xu ran all the way to the security box, but it was empty, only a TV set was performing a costume drama, but there was no sound strangely. Mother Xu's pupils shrunk thinner than the tip of the needle, and this scene stimulated her nerves even more, making her scream in fear.
There is no one, no sound, no day, only eternal night, such an environment is more like a ghost domain? Could it be said that she has been trapped here by that child? Like the world without color in Silent Hill? This kind of imagination made Xu Mother frightened. She turned and ran towards the gate. She had to take a look at the outside world to see if she could integrate herself.
The Moon Bay community is too remote, a road winding in the dark, but no people on both sides. Mother Xu did not know how far she ran. When she finally saw the two lights approaching on the road, she found that she even ran away with shoes and a red blood stain on her soles.
"Parking, parking, take me to the city, OK? I'll give you money!" She took out her wallet and stuffed the cash she could find out to the inexplicable driver.
An hour later, she finally came to the urban area, and she was quite at ease to find that she was still in the original world and had not been swallowed by the ghost domain. This feeling of integration into the dunya was so good that she shed tears in excitement at the hotel's signboard. It was only at this time that she discovered that she was in pain all over her body, and her exposed skin was covered with bruises and bruises, as if beaten by someone.
But no one actually violent her, these bruises were bumped by her in the process of avoiding her son. What she once left to the child is now all on her own, but she did not notice the subtle reincarnation, but just ran into the hotel with ecstasy and booked a room.
She was too tired and had to find a safe place to hide herself.
The phone ran out of power, and with two dying tweets, it was completely extinguished; there were only two steel prisms and a credit card in the wallet; the shoes were lost; the clothes were broken a few holes ... Xu mother was paralyzed sitting on the carpet in the room, embarrassed Picking himself up extremely.
She was almost exhausted and fainted. She had to hold the handrails specially designed for people with disabilities in order to stand firm while taking a bath. The warm water washed over her scarred body, but it caused tingling after another. It reminded her that after a certain beating, she bathed the child. The temperature of the water was very comfortable. The bathtub was also newly bought, but he was shaking and staggering, crying while swinging, making her full. It's all water.
The anger that she had just dissipated exploded like a petrol bomb, and scolded: "I have taken good care of you like this, what are you crying for? Is it uncomfortable to take a bath? Is the bathtub unusable? Can't you stand without bones? ? "
But today she learned that after being tortured like that, it was really uncomfortable to take a bath; the tub was too slippery to use; the bones were still there, but they were all soft, and they were soft and frightened! The sins she once made, now drop by drop, one by one, one by one, and one by one, all fall back on her own.
She didn't know what to do, she actually curled up under the scouring of warm water, almost crying and collapsed. But God still didn't want to let her go. When she finally lay down on the bed, closed her eyes, and tried to let herself sleep, Simmons collapsed next to her, and there was a cold thing close to her arm.
She shuddered suddenly, and her teeth made a harsh knock in the silence. She covered her head with a quilt, so the cold thing also followed into the bed, still clinging tightly to her arm. She finally screamed terribly, and when she opened her eyes, the child really followed, behind them were two floor-to-ceiling windows that were pulled apart, and the neon lights flashing magnificently outside.
He ran along the road of dozens of kilometers, and climbed up a few hundred meters high, no matter where she was, he could always find her!
This fact caused Xu mother into endless despair. She jumped out of bed while screaming, pulled open the door, ran out, and tremble with fear in the lobby, sitting all night. The waiter ran over several times to ask her why and told her that she could call the police for help, but she could only open her mouth silently and shut her mouth silently, just like her child, lost in extreme fear Language ability.
Finally, it was hard to get past seven o'clock in the morning. She rushed into the creepy crowd of ants and boarded the early train to the company where her husband was. The crowd on the shoulders gave her a great sense of security, and also made her realize that why the child especially likes to go to school, because surrounded by classmates, he can avoid the fate of being beaten, just like her mood at the moment.
Life is a reincarnation, and you will reap what you plant.
At more than nine o'clock, Xu's mother finally arrived at her destination. Under the guidance of an enthusiastic employee, she found her husband who fled alone in the pantry. His face was also haggard, but the clothes he wore were clean and tidy. A young woman is reaching out to help him adjust his tie, and he lowers his head and smiles softly at the other party. The terrible things that happened at home seemed to leave no shadow at all, and his life was as usual.
Mother Xu's eyes widened and she watched this scene in disbelief.
The employee who brought her into the company only coughed embarrassingly to remind the two of them that there was clearly a surge of emotion in the pantry.
"How did you come?" The gentleness on Father Xu's face disappeared in an instant when he saw his sudden wife, "You go out with me, this is not a place to talk." He pushed Xu Mother hard, and his attitude was very rude.
The young woman ran away with blushing cheeks, while the other staff stared at Xu's bluish purple, revealing a suspicious look.
Mother Xu's shoes had long been lost and she could only wear the hotel's thin bottom slippers. The fleshy footboard had already stained the pure white flannel, and the scars on her body had been silted up for one night. The color has deepened a bit, and it is shocking. Along the way, I do n’t know how many people greeted Xu ’s mother and prepared to call her to the police or send her to the hospital, but when he arrived at Xu, he turned a blind eye to her, just as he ignored the pain of his son.
Mother Xu was pushed into the dim staircase, and her whole heart was darkened.
"Where did you live last night?" She asked in a depressed cry.
"Of course staying in a hotel. Why did you come to my company? What about him? Are you gone?" Xu father asked eagerly.
"No, he came to get revenge, how could he go? I stayed in a hotel over thirty floors high yesterday, he can find me! Husband, I want to stay with you, I'm scared!"
Mother Xu grabbed her husband's sleeve tightly, but was pushed away by the other party. His desperate tone lowered the temperature of the stairwell to the freezing point: "He came out with you? Your mother ... Why is your heart so poisonous?" ? Are you going to pull me to die together? You are the one who abused him. If you beat him as an internal injury, would I kick him to death? "
Father Xu realized that he was speechless, he glanced left and right, and then pinched her mother's neck, pressed her against the wall, and warned unheardly: "He also rushed at you for revenge, no matter what happened to me, you Get away from me! "
"Husband, don't leave me behind, you help me!" Xu mother couldn't breathe, but she begged one after another. In the most desperate time, she didn't know who else to ask for help.
Xu father did n’t want to be entangled with her, clamped her shoulders, pushed her out of the stairwell, escorted the elevator, took it downstairs, stuffed a taxi, and took out a thousand dollars and threw it to the driver, impatiently Said: "Throw me away this crazy mother-in-law!"
"Where are you going?" As long as the taxi driver has money to make, he doesn't care about Xu's plea and struggle.
"Lock the door, send it as far away as possible. Is the money enough? I won't give it to you enough!" Father Xu took out another pile of cash and threw it into the driver's arms.
The driver was broken and quickly locked the front and rear doors. He said happily: "Master, dear, we promise to throw her out into the wilderness."
A woman dressed in thin clothes without a cell phone and a wallet will face any danger in a remote place. The two never thought about it. Just as Mother Xu had never thought about it before, how should the child who was beaten by her even suffering from breathing support the crumbling body to deal with everything outside.
She screamed, cried, thumped the locked doors and windows, but she could only watch her husband get farther and farther away. His original handsome face slowly became distorted and gritty in the dazzling sunlight, and became another terrible look.
Mother Xu burst into tears before she fell to the back of the chair. Qi Ruojiu said authentically: "Master, send me to the Moon Bay Community. Is it far enough?"
The driver was just greedy and cheap, not a traitor. Upon hearing her saying this, she quickly agreed to come down.
