C44 (2/2)
I was in so much pain that I raised my head and screamed miserably, nearly fainting from the pain. It was so painful that he was trembling all over. His neck felt swollen. He touched it with his hand and felt a bulging strip of meat.
”Are you going to eat? ”Believe it or not, I'll blind you right now!” The lean young man pointed the sharp stubble of the broken branch at one of my eyes and gnashed his teeth.
I'm afraid he really will. He weighed it in his heart. Blindness is thought to be worse than eating dog shit. Eating dog shit didn't cause any real harm, it just made people lose their dignity and disgusted with others.
Trembling, I reached out and grabbed the iron spoon on the floor. He scooped up a spoonful of sticky black dog shit and poured it into his mouth. Some of the dog poop fell out and entered his mouth. Closing my eyes, I could clearly feel a heart in my chest throbbing with nausea. I slowly closed my mouth and chewed it, then swallowed it.
In this way, I used five spoonfuls in a row. I ate most of the dog shit on the ground, leaving only some stuck to the ground. His stomach churned. But I forced myself not to vomit. I'm afraid if I spit it out, they'll think the shit I ate doesn't count.
My dignity as a human being has completely vanished at this time.
Actually, think about it. What's the use of having dignity? No matter how proud I am, no one in this world will think highly of me.
Who sees me as a human?
I burst into tears.
”Everyone, let's disperse! He's finished his shit! ” Aunt Liu said with a smile.
The crowd dispersed.
The big yard was empty except for me. I remained kneeling on the ground for a long time, unmoving. The tears on his face were dried by the wind.
A pair of feet came slowly up to me. I raised my head and saw that it was my big sister, Jin Yuxia. Her eyes were red and puffy, and she had obviously cried too.
”Brother, get up, don't kneel!” She bent down and caught me.
I slowly got up from the ground.
”Yuxia, where did you go?” I asked.
”He went to pay off his debt!”
”Repayment of debts? What debt? ”
”The Zhao Family's debt! My use... The woman's body has been repaid for them! ”
”How much is it?” I began to pant a little.
”Over two thousand!”
”Xianzi, have you gone stupid!? Why would you do that? ”
”My husband told me to do it! ”Since I've already spoken to him, I must listen to him!”
”That cripple with a face full of stubble! To think I pitied him! It would be better if he died! ” I clenched my fists and prepared to punch him.
But unwittingly, I caught a glimpse of something strange in Jin Yuxia's tearful eyes. The strangeness seemed to mock me. It made me lose the motivation that came out of my anger in an instant.
I left Zhao Xinxin's home and went back by myself.
It was already dark, the house was empty and quiet, Yang Dabao did not come back. I lifted the curtain, opened the door, went into the hall, and lay down on the bunk.
Time passed slowly in the deathly silence. An unknown amount of time passed. The curtain was lifted again. A man came into the room and approached me slowly.
The room was dark, and I couldn't see his face. But I know who it is. But I don't know who he is. All I know is that he was the one who took me to the theatre.
”Jin Shi!”
”En!”
”Are you ready to move again?”
I didn't say anything.
”A bunch of pitiful people! Let them go!”
”Pity my ass!”
”Jin Shi, you are fighting the heavens!”
”Fight then!”
”You will be damned!”
I stopped talking again.
”What about the two Silk Bag?”
”Throw it away!”
”He was taken away by Yang Dabao?”
”Yes!”
”Oh no!” It's going to ruin something big! ” There was a rare hint of excitement in the man's voice.
I simply closed my eyes.
After a long time, I slowly opened my eyes. The man was gone.
I came out into the yard. The clear night sky was dotted with stars, and a bright moon shone like a jade plate, illuminating the entire world.
There was a man riding on my wolfhound. He was being carried slowly around the yard by a wolfhound.
