The most precious thing in the world is not something that can never be obtained.
Nor is it something that has been gained and lost;
It's what happens right next to You,
The experiences that accompanied Your growth,
A person who appears when You need help the most,
Even if it was a puppy;
Everything that can be held by You is the most precious and precious thing for You…
After an unknown number of days, the girl, whose emotional line was still numb, was asked by a few strangers about the details she could still remember. They took off her clothes and took pictures of the white wounds on her body. They even mentioned whether it was Xiang, Qiu Shi's father who threw her into the pond.
Qiu Shi's body trembled as she said with difficulty,""I jumped in; he didn't throw me in.”
"I told you, her life or death has nothing to do with me! "I know that killing is illegal. It's not worth it to put my life in it for her…" Xiang stood at the door of another room and looked at her mockingly.
"We are from Jiangjin County Public Security Bureau. Do you know where Jiangjin County is? It takes two hours to get to Luoba by car and 40 minutes to walk to your place. We have worked so hard to get here because the teachers of your school have written a joint report letter. We've come to the countryside to handle this case regarding you. So, don't be afraid. If you have anything to say, just tell us!”The policeman explained to Qiu Shi in a gentle tone.
" Uncle, I…" Qiu Shi finally raised her head. She wanted to say something to the surprised man, but she did not expect that her eyes would meet Xiang's. At that moment, Xiang's body emitted a sinister murderous aura, scaring Qiu Shi so much that she shivered." My…my father…father…he…treats me very…very…well…" The sound of the word " well " was so soft that even she could not hear it. From her slightly opened lips, she could tell that was what she said.
The policemen looked at the countless old and new wounds on the girl's body and felt their hearts ache.
"Tie him up!" A tall man was too lazy to pay attention to Qiu Shi's words. From his angry tone, one could tell that he must be filled with grief and indignation at this moment.
Several policemen responded and untied the ropes of the two baskets in the corner of the room. Without saying anything, they tied Xiang up.
Xiang resisted with all his might as he shouted,"Didn't you hear what she said? I'm very good to her! Can any of you prove that I abused her? It was normal for children to be beaten up when they were disobedient! Haven't you been beaten by your parents before? Why didn't you go back and arrest your parents?!!! Let go of me!!!!!!!”
No matter how unreasonable he was, he was still taken away by the fair and strict police.
Xiang was not severely punished because of his past. He was only released home after a month of education.
Perhaps it was because of the education that he received that time, Xiang did not use force on Qiu Shi much after he returned home.
As usual, Ru Xian ran around outside. Perhaps it was to earn money to support her family, or to escape from reality. Perhaps it was more to avoid Xiang and her daughter Qiu Shi.
It was now November, and the weather was starting to get cold.
After dinner, Xiang held a very delicate white bottle in his hand, sealed with a red cloth.
He went around to the kitchen and said to Qiu Shi with a mysterious look on his face," I'm warning you, this is a poison called the Red Crane's Head, also known as White Sulfur! It's the most poisonous thing in the world. Just a little bit of it will make people bleed to death. Don't move…"
With that, he left the kitchen.
"Since it's poison, why did you keep it at home? You still want to tell me?" Qiu Shi muttered in her heart. She did not understand why her father would say those words to her, but it made her very afraid.
"Are you cursing your family to die early?”Xiang seemed to have been waiting for Qiu Shi to come in. He waved his hands and tore off all the certificates that Qiu Shi had pasted all over the wall." The whole wall is covered with the gold sheets you brought back. The person who deserves to die in this house is you. I let you have bad intentions. I let you be smug." The Golden List was a local custom. After a family member passed away, Onmyoji and Taoist priests would use golden paper and a red pen to write about the deceased's life. They would also use a red ink pen to remove the deceased's name from the family's genealogy and send it to the underworld.）
This time, Xiang didn't do anything to Qiu Shi, but chased her out of the pigsty and forbade her from entering the house. Qiu Shi could only sleep in the woodpile under the eaves with Silver in her arms.
It was the beginning of the new year and the second month of the cold season. Two different living beings were leaning against each other in the firewood pile to keep each other warm. Qiu Shi was used to telling Silver about her happiness and sadness, and she could only tell him. This dog, which was not considered small anymore, seemed to gradually understand its little master's mood. When she was sad, it would quietly listen to her, and when she was happy, it would accompany her. Every time, he was so considerate and tirelessly snuggled up to her. Every time Qiu Shi cried, Silver would wipe the tears off her face and look at her helplessly. If only he could talk…
Silver might not know what emotions were, but it would often run to the school gate to wait for its little master after school, and then accompany her to mix the grass and go home together. No matter how hot the summer was, as long as Qiu Shi cooked by the stove, it would accompany her.
Qiu Shi recalled a time a few months ago. It was a hot summer day.
After she was beaten up by her father for no reason in the middle of the night, she was hung on the pole of the television receiver outside the house. The lightning and thunder in the sky scared Qiu Shi so much that she burst into tears. However, the heavens did not pity this poor girl. After a gust of wind and lightning, a storm began.
Qiu Shi, who was tied to the pole, couldn't move. Her body was wet from the rain and she was shivering from the cold. However, the wind was so strong that it made her shiver. At that moment, Silver ran out of nowhere and bit off the rope that was binding Qiu Shi. He bit the corner of her clothes and brought her to the roof where he usually hid himself. The two little bodies snuggled together and spent the stormy night together.
Qiu Shi remembered that the certificate she received after school had become a pile of scrap paper. She thought to herself,'If this person in front of me is not my father, then who is my biological father? What kind of person would he be? Will he love me like other fathers love their children? Would he take me out into the streets to buy new clothes and hats and shoes? Would he be happy that I got a certificate at school? Will he also hit me without any regard for his life?？”
At the thought of this, Qiu Shi's heart lit up with new hope…
If she could find her biological father one day, perhaps she could also be hugged tightly by her father and loved. She could also lean on her father's lap and act coquettishly…
Thinking of this, Qiu Shi's emotions flew to a place far, far away. It was a place without sorrow, fear, pain, and blood.
