The seemingly happy scene is a miracle created by people
People living in different spaces think and act differently
Waiting or digging out miracles from dreams
Sadness and pain will definitely disappear in strength
Be strong, be strong, drive away sorrow and sorrow
Miracles are coming, coming from strength
And, the door;
However, it was sealed outside…
Book discussion group: ** Everyone is welcome to join the discussion!
In the morning, her father had beaten her up again for some reason and had not given her breakfast yet. He had also ordered Qiu Shi to bring two baskets of pigweed home after school. His father's words were always absolute.
As soon as the bell rang, she dashed out of the classroom. She fought for every minute and every second, but she was more and more afraid of the time after school. Sometimes, when it was very late, he would carry a basket full of hay and stay near the school. As mentioned earlier, Qiu Shi's form teacher was a woman in her forties with the surname Luo. He had seen her several times, and she was often injured on her body and face. He had also asked her with concern,"Who in your family is so cruel to always beat you up like this?”
Qiu Shi's clothes were covered in black patches. It was obvious that the blood had dried. Teacher Luo reached out to touch her, but she quickly dodged. She was afraid that the teacher would go to her house and ask questions. She was afraid that her father would not allow her to go to school anymore because he had once said that as long as the school allowed her to invite her parents once, she would never be able to step foot in the school.
Therefore, in the face of her teacher's warm care, she was always timid and did not dare to open her mouth again. She did not dare to say anything. However, the feeling of being locked up was very good, and she could not help but cry.
The teacher reached out her warm hand and patted her little head, comforting her and asking her questions.
" Teacher, you really look like your mother…" Qiu Shi sighed to herself. Although she had always longed for that kind expression and warm hands, she stubbornly struggled and ran away from her teacher's embrace after ten seconds. I wonder if people are always so curious? It was Teacher Luo's motherly nature and love that was calling out to her. She stood at the intersection, staring at the small figure that was gradually disappearing into the distance. The figure carrying a basket that was bigger than her body…
No one could touch the heart of this kind-hearted teacher at that time, but her subsequent actions confirmed one thing for Qiu Shi. When she looked at her back view, she had already confirmed one thing...
The next afternoon, after school, Qiu Shi carried the basket on her back and ran home as fast as she could. She was afraid of being alone with the teacher. She was even more afraid that she would follow her home visit or ask her to invite her parents.
The moment she got home, Qiu Shi hurriedly dumped the hay on her basket on the ground and ran to the field to continue preparing fodder for the pigs. Grandpa was at home, and Qiu Shi was looking at the cooking fire. No matter how much she ran, her schedule was full every day. When the housework was almost done, Dad, Grandpa, and Brother had finished eating and turned back to wash the dishes timidly. Then, he scooped the rice and wolfed it down.
After dinner, Grandpa called her by her baby name,"Minmin, your aunt said that I need to go to her house to help with the vegetable garden. You should do your job well at home and don't make Dad angry.”After saying that, his grandfather took his pipe and gradually disappeared from Qiu Shi's sight.
In the evening, after school…
Qiu Shi's house was filled with angry curses,""Motherf * cker, why are you still crying? " I'll beat you to death, dog. F * ck. What kind of stupid books are you studying? You don't know how to do your family's business, but you're still pretending to be a teacher at school to teach students. Since you can teach students, then don't f * cking study anymore…" As he spoke, his father began to look for the 'family discipline' that he could conveniently use. He didn't get it for a moment, so he smashed the glass pieces that Qiu Shi usually picked up onto the ground. "F * ck, you have such a big head, but it's filled with tofu dregs! "Son of a b * tch…" He cursed viciously as he smashed it, the blood in his eyes getting thicker and thicker.
A pair of huge hands pulled Qiu Shi's weak body into the concrete dam and ordered her to kneel on the broken glass shards. Qiu Shi was so scared that her entire body trembled. She did not understand what she had done to make her father so angry. She looked at her father's lightning-fast figure and cursed some vulgarities that no one would listen to. She knew that even if she did not understand now, her father would tell her the reason after the violence.
After a while, Xiang rushed out of the kitchen with a pair of red-hot fire tongs in his hand. He hit Qiu Shi's thin body fiercely.
The fire pincers had just been taken out from the stove, and the top had already been roasted to a high temperature that the human body could not touch. Smoke billowed from the fire pincers and sizzled. The glass pierced into the skin of her knee. Bright red liquid slowly spread on the grayish-white ground, and the fragrance of roasted meat was emitted.
It turned out that human flesh tasted similar to pigs after being roasted…
The fear in her heart had already surpassed the pain in her body. Qiu Shi resigned herself to her father's punishment. She did not dare to move, nor could she move. Grandpa was not at home, so no one could save her. The only thing she could do was to scream in response to her father's beating, alerting the nearby passersby and neighbors who were doing farm work. Soon, many passersby had gathered at the scene.
No one could watch Xiang's violent behavior continue to spread on the child's body. Everyone used loud words to dissuade him, perhaps to embolden themselves, because Xiang's personality was enough to make people feel suffocated.
"Aiya, you're going to eat the doll?" She's still so young. Just hit her a few times and forget it!”
Hong Li's mother: " That's right. Your daughter is so hardworking. She carries water, cooks, feeds the pigs, does the laundry, and does everything she needs to do. She's much more sensible than our daughter. How could you bear to hit her?"
"…" The neighbors were all trying to persuade him.
"You guys don't know, but I didn't agree to her going to school in the first place. The pigs at home can't eat enough and run out every day. She has time to help the teachers teach the students to sing, but she doesn't have time to hunt pigweed. The rice was burnt, and he even brought a dog home to eat rice. There's not enough food for people, and you still have to raise a dog."
Qiu Shi's miserable cries did not stop even after her father's angry roar. The fire pincers that were hitting her body did not stop either.
" Wenjie, what are you looking at here? Hurry up and call your mother over to help. Your sister is about to die…" Qiu Shi's cousin had also arrived at her house. He hid in the crowd and did not dare to make a sound.
Brother Wenjie was reminded by Hong Li's mother and ran in the direction of his house. His words and his back view were left in front of everyone." Second Uncle, don't hit Minmin anymore. I want to go back and tell my mother…"
The neighbors and Fifth Aunt, who had rushed over after hearing the news, were Qiu Shi's saviors. There was no doubt about this. What she couldn't believe was that her skin was already torn open. Pieces of burnt black flesh were filled with blood, slowly increasing and becoming thicker.
" Xiang... she's so small, such a small child, how could you do that to her?" Fifth Aunt choked. She was afraid that even touching Qiu Shi would cause her niece more pain.
Brother Wenjie was also crying beside him. He was already a middle school student, and the relationship between the two siblings was very good. Wen Jie was the only son in the family. Other than playing, he basically didn't know how to do anything, but he would accompany Qiu Shi to hunt pig grass, bring his cousin to the fields to catch loaches, teach her to fish, make kites for her, and teach her to play the flute he made himself. Every day after school, he would come to Qiu Shi's house to do her homework and teach her all the secondary school subjects. The first sentence Wenjie taught her was: Goodmorning。
That night, Fifth Aunt brought Qiushi back to her house and fetched alcohol, gauze, and purple medicine from the village clinic. The village doctor was a kind person. After learning about Qiushi's situation, he gave it to Fifth Aunt without taking a single cent. She cleaned her niece's wound with tears in her eyes. Bean-sized tears rolled down Qiushi's head." Your father is too cruel. How could there be someone like him?!" Where did your grandfather go?"
" Fifth Aunt, don't cry anymore. I don't feel that much pain anymore…" Looking at the pair of red eyes from crying, Qiu Shi could no longer control her tears and they flowed down her cheeks."Grandfather said that he's going to Eldest Aunt's house to help guard the vegetable garden and will only leave in the afternoon.”
"Wenjie, go get a basin of water." Fifth Aunt instructed her son. She looked at the water in the basin and saw that it was already dark red.
"There are a lot of things that I shouldn't say, but you will know."I hope you won't hate your father when you grow up. He's not the only one at fault. He's the one who went overboard, but he's also very bitter…" Fifth Aunt said to Qiu Shi meaningfully.
Then again, how could she understand why her fifth aunt told her not to hate her father? She also did not know if she would really grow up one day.
It was already very deep.
Summer nights were always lively. The hot weather made the crickets squeak in the grass, and the frogs 'voices were loud and clear. From time to time, they would jump into the water. The bright moonlight enveloped everything on the ground, proving the end of the day. Everything that passed with time would also be abandoned in the tunnel of yesterday. However, human memory could bring the past to today, tomorrow, and the unknown future.
The sky had already turned white, but Qiu Shi was still not sleepy. She didn't know if it was Fifth Aunt's moderate snoring or the terrifying scene that happened yesterday that caused her insomnia.
Qiu Shi didn't know what would happen after daybreak. How nice it would be if she could stay in bed safe and sound!
Right, she might be afraid of losing this peaceful night! She was afraid that when she woke up, she would not see Fifth Aunt's face. No matter how hard she tried, she would not be able to find Brother Wenjie.
At five o'clock in the morning, Fifth Aunt had already prepared breakfast. Brother Wenjie was studying in the middle school 15 kilometers away."Wenjie, when you go to school, take a detour to the school and ask Teacher Luo for leave. Because Minmin has too many wounds on her body, it's very serious.”
