C90 (1/2)

When Little Ice saw me like this, fear appeared in her eyes. Tian Nan, who wasn't too far away, immediately rushed over when she saw this. She grabbed my hand with one hand and pulled me back. ”Ling, what's wrong? Why did we start fighting with Little Ice?”

I also realized that my actions just now were too impulsive. I calmed down and said to Little Ice, ”Little Bing, I'm sorry I was too impulsive earlier.”

Little Bing didn't blame me either. ”It's fine.”

I asked again, ”Why did Xue'er run away the moment she saw you? Did you and Xue'er know each other before?”

Xiao Bing lowered her head slightly, and upon seeing Xiao Bing admitting it, I grabbed his shoulders and asked anxiously, ”What did Xue'er go through before? Why would she be afraid to see you? ”

Tian Nan pulled me back again and said, ”Don't be agitated, let Little Ice talk slowly.”

I nodded my head, but then thought about how there were so many people present, Xue'er didn't want to recall the past, so the fewer people there were who knew about her past the better. I pulled Little Ice to the side, where Shui Xinyue, Xin Wu and Tian Nan also came over.

Little Ice looked at me and said, ”The first time I saw Xue'er was because she was my neighbor, not really my neighbor. It was my neighbor uncle who adopted her. At that time, I was only 8 years old, and my neighbor was a high school teacher whom we called Teacher Wang. He was a very good person and often brought me delicious food.

Xiao Bing sighed and continued, ”That day, Xue'er was adopted into the Teacher Wang. I heard from my mother that the Teacher Wang had a daughter before, but after she died for some reason, Xue'er was adopted as a substitute for her daughter. In the beginning, Xue'er didn't talk much to us, but she was very polite. She greeted everyone and my mother kept scolding me for wanting to learn from Xue'er. ”

”After that, my friends and I became friends with the little girl who lived beside me. Xue'er spoke very little, but he had a good personality and in our eyes, he was very happy because Teacher Wang was a good person in our eyes. He was very friendly and kind. But then we found out that Xue'er talked less and less, until he didn't even come home anymore. ”

At that time, Teacher Wang's reply was that Xue'er was sick. My mother wanted to go upstairs to see Xue'er, but Teacher Wang rejected her request. ”Xue'er … …”

After that, about two weeks later, Xue'er didn't show up again. I really didn't understand, but one night I climbed up to the roof with my friends, because the rooftops of our two families were only less than one meter apart. The few of us took the risk to find a ladder and climbed over there.

”Xue'er's room is directly below us. We stuck our heads out from the rooftop and saw that Xue'er's neck was tied with a collar that only pets would wear. There were even chains on her feet, making her look very thin. We're scared and we don't know what to do. ”

”At this time, Teacher Wang walked into Xue'er's room. His entire body was swaying and his steps were unsteady. When Teacher Wang saw that she was laughing, he immediately sent a slap towards his. Xue'er immediately started crying again, and when Teacher Wang saw that Xue'er was crying, he happily laughed and kicked Xue'er to the side. Because the window was open, we heard what Teacher Wang said. ”

”Teacher Wang laughed and said,” That's right, we will laugh after a beating, and then we will cry. After saying that, Teacher Wang burst into tears, crying as he hit Xue'er. Xue'er's face was still smiling. At that time, we were very afraid and didn't know what to do. Then, Teacher Wang said, ”Why is it that a child that no one wants can live, while my daughter is about to die? Tell me, what do you think?” While saying that, Teacher Wang picked up a metal rod.

”At this moment, one of my comrades, Wang Yu, couldn't help but cry out when he saw Teacher Wang take out the iron rod. Teacher Wang shouted. ”Who is it?” Wang Yu didn't manage to stand steadily and fell from the third floor. We didn't try to hold him back as we watched him heavily fall to the ground.

”At this time, due to Wang Yu jumping off the building, many people noticed us. I shouted for help, and when everyone saw that there were two more people on the roof, they all ran over. My father broke into the house. They subdued the Teacher Wang who was trying to do something to us and saved us. ”

”After that, the police cars and ambulances all came. Xue'er was taken away by the police. She was still smiling as she took them away, and even said that she shouldn't hit me. It was also because of this time that Wang Yu was crippled for life, and had to sit on a wheelchair for his entire life, that Teacher Wang was taken away. My mother said that he had mental problems, that he had a tendency to violence, and even told me to stop thinking about what happened that day. ”

”Later on, I asked my parents where Xue'er had been taken away to, but my mother didn't answer me and told me to forget about it. However, I simply couldn't forget about it. I couldn't forget any of the scenes.”

After listening to Little Ice finish her story, I clenched my fists tightly. Unknowingly, my nails had pressed down on my palms until they were bleeding, and the blood slowly flowed down from my palms onto the quiet and pitch black broken pelvic floor. Every drop of the blood seemed to be able to make a sound as it fell onto the ground.

I hit the ground with my fist. The skin on my hand was like a mottled wall of paint, and the sand stuck to my skin. It stung every vein from hand to heart.

Because of her adoptive father's mistreatment, Xue'er had to smile every time, even when they were at the same place, even if they were sad, they couldn't cry, only then can they stop scolding and punching and kicking. She wasn't as lucky as me, at least when I was young she had Tian Nan to help me fight, and she was adopted without anyone to help her.

I now understood why Xue'er was like this, but didn't know how to help her.

Tian Nan and Shui Xinyue stood quietly at the side, they probably didn't know how to stop me. Tian Nan said to me, ”Ling, I know you're very angry right now, and so am I, but things have already happened and we can't change the past. Let's think about how we can make Xue'er better.”

I nodded and said, ”Yes, I'll definitely let Xue'er get better.”

I made up my mind to let Xue'er get better. At that moment, I suddenly remembered that Xue'er had run away, and I grabbed onto Little Ice angrily, not knowing where she had gone to.

Suddenly, I panicked and immediately ran in the direction that I remembered Xue'er running in.
