Chapter 22 Chapter 20 She Kissed the Skeleton's Forehead

This woman is used to wandering in the dark, maybe she has been wandering in the dark all her life, while I hate her, I also sympathize with her, I don't know if she will sympathize with me.I don't know, for many years, I want to forget the dirty things she did to me, but there is no way to forget.She will die one day, and when a person dies, there should be nothing left.No, it will stay, everything will stay, everything is fate, unchangeable fate!Mei Ping, she may be my natural enemy, someone I can never get around in my life, if I get around her, I won't be me anymore! Similarly, I can't get around her, my biological mother.

I was four years old when she died.When I watched her being hit and killed by a speeding truck, the world had already been destroyed before my eyes.My mother, who is separated from me by yin and yang, makes me often have nightmares in the middle of the night. In my dream, I will see my mother stretching out her bloody hands and calling to me: "Lily, save me——" I can't save my mother, just as she can't save me. When I stepped into this home, I looked at the beautiful old woman Mei Ping, and my heart trembled. It would be great if she was my mother.When Zhang Wenbo asked me to call her mother, I really called her: "Mom—" The word "Mom" was very meaningful.However, Mei Ping did not accept me at all, and I was crushed by her.She's not my mother, no!My mother died a long time ago, in that car accident!If my mother does not die, she will definitely pray for me, and my father will not leave the world so early, so I am still a happy person, even if everyone in this world does not want me, I still have them !

But they are gone. In this hellish Gu mansion, I feel the end is coming. I always feel that Mei Ping and everyone in this family are cursing me, and their vicious curse makes me suffocate... What happened in this sweltering summer was bizarre, mysterious, sudden, boring and frightening, and Zhang Wenbo's fist-big heart couldn't bear it.He didn't know if he would go crazy. That day, he returned home from the hospital, and went upstairs in a panic. Ah Hua stood at the bottom of the building, watching his back with dark eyes. Zhang Wenbo walked to the door of Zhang Xiaotiao's room, pushed the door, and found that the door was locked inside.

At this time, Mei Ping seemed to have a deep hatred with Beethoven, playing "Moonlight" over and over again. In Zhang Wenbo's ears, the beautiful and lyrical music had lost its due value and turned into a kind of noise, a huge noise that disturbed him. He yelled downstairs: "Stop playing!" The elf-like notes of "Moonlight Song" did not stop because of Zhang Wenbo's roar, but continued to float around in this building. Ah Hua looked upstairs indifferently, she was no longer worried about the family members like before, and she was still cursing secretly in her heart.

Zhang Wenbo yelled at the door of Zhang Xiaotiao's room: "Zhang Xiaotiao, you little bastard, open the door for me quickly?" At this time, Zhang Wenbo was no longer the personable and humorous university professor on the university forum, but an awakened and irritated beast. Seeing that Zhang Xiaotiao didn't open the door for him at all, he kicked the door open with his kick. Zhang Xiaotiao indifferently wiped the pumpkin-like butt with a knife stuck in it that he drew on the wall with a damp cloth, as if he was destroying his own criminal evidence.The entry of his father Zhang Wenbo had no impact on him at all, and he was still meticulously doing what he wanted to do.

Zhang Wenbo's brain was already confused by the flames of anger. He grabbed Zhang Xiaotiao by the neck, lifted him up, slapped Zhang Xiaotiao on the face, and said viciously: "Zhang Xiaotiao , why did you do that?! Did your mother force you to do it, tell me!" Bright red blood flowed from the corner of Zhang Xiaotiao's mouth, Zhang Xiaotiao stretched out his tongue to lick the salty blood, and grinned fearfully: "Dad, if only you could beat me to death!" Tears rolled in Zhang Xiaotiao's eyes, but he was still so stubborn. Zhang Wenbo put down his son and stood there panting heavily.

Zhang Xiaotiao didn't wipe off the blood from the corner of his mouth, let it flow, walked out of the room without saying a word, and walked downstairs. Seeing Zhang Xiao jumping down, Ah Hua quickly hid. ... That night, Zhang Xiaotiao did not go home, and Zhang Wenbo knew that he had gone to Zhang Wenling's house.Zhang Wenling hugged Zhang Xiaotiao in her arms when she saw Zhang Xiaotiao was bleeding from the corner of her mouth, and asked what happened to Zhang Xiaotiao.Zhang Xiaotiao burst into tears. He said that his parents wanted to kill him. Zhang Wenling immediately dialed Zhang Wenbo's phone number and asked him about his crimes: "Zhang Wenbo, you are a wolf-hearted thing, why don't you even let your own son go!"

Zhang Wenbo yelled into the microphone: "You shrew, don't take care of our family's affairs in the future, fuck you!" Zhang Wenbo slammed the phone down. Throughout the night, Zhang Wenbo felt that a mountain was pressing on his chest, and his temples were throbbing wildly. He knew that his blood pressure had risen again. He did not take antihypertensive drugs, and he really hoped that his blood vessels would explode and die. After Li Li came back, he found that Li Li looked a little happy, contrary to the depressed and sad expression after the death of the puppy.Zhang Wenbo naturally thought of Zhang Xiaotiao's act of stabbing Manli's ass with a knife, and he shouted at Li Li out of anger, "Li Li, you are so insidious, how could you force your son to do such outrageous things?" !"

When Li Li heard this, she was stunned: "Zhang Wenbo, what are you talking about? I work all day, why did I force my son? What did I force him to do?" Zhang Wenbo gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Li Li, don't play dumb with me, you know what you have done, don't be complacent!" As he spoke, he pushed towards Li Li. Li Li backed away. When she got under the oil painting "Dangerous Relationship", Li Li had no way out. Seeing Zhang Wenbo's blood-red eyes about to eat people, Li Li's good mood on the first day of work suddenly disappeared. She said, "Zhang Wenbo, what are you doing?"

Zhang Wenbo said coldly: "What am I going to do? What do you think I'm going to do? I really want to strangle you to death!" Li Li took out the dagger from her bag and gasped, "Zhang Wenbo, don't force me, I can do anything?" When Zhang Wenbo saw the dagger, he stopped in his tracks and just stared blankly at the terrified Li Li. Li Li said suddenly: "Your hideous face has finally been revealed, the puppy has been killed, now it's my turn, right? Let's make up with that little bitch, right?" Zhang Wenbo flinched. Zhang Wenbo went to the garage and drove the car. He was going to Wanqing's place, and then went to Zhang Wenling's house to pick up his son Zhang Xiaotiao. It seems that Zhang Wenling likes Zhang Xiaotiao but Ye Gong loves dragons. I got it back.

He had just driven the car out of the garage when his phone vibrated. He turned on the phone and saw this message: "The little donkey asked the old donkey why we eat hay every day, while the cows eat concentrated feed every day. The old donkey sighed." Tone, we men can’t compare, we rely on running errands to eat, others rely on breasts to eat!” Zhang Wenbo didn't find it funny, this was the news that Wan Qing urged him to go to her place. Every time Wan Qing urged him, she would send him a joke, and never said "you come soon" in plain language in the short message.This point made Zhang Wenbo feel that Wanqing was indeed a different woman, and he even thought, could Wanqing be another abyss for him? He couldn't predict what the final outcome of his relationship with Wanqing would be. Even though he was afraid of women, he still couldn't stop. In Li Lingyun's eyes, women are men's hell, every woman is a kind of hell, there are a hundred kinds of hells for a hundred women, and a thousand kinds of hells for a thousand women... If you think women are heaven The man in the world must be the kind of man who is hypnotized by the so-called happiness. Zhang Wenbo had some feelings, regardless of whether Li Lingyun's view was correct or not.Manli is his hell, Li Li is also his hell, what about Wanqing who is like a fan? Zhang Wenbo didn't dare to think further, he was almost out of breath. These days, Ah Hua's heart is heavy and confused, she always tries to find ways to run to Ah Mao's residence.In the early morning of that day, after the alarm clock set by Ah Hua rang, she woke up in a jerk and found that Ah Mao had disappeared from the mat on the ground. She smiled sweetly, and Ah Mao left without saying goodbye to her, maybe because she felt sorry for herself and wanted her to sleep a little longer, and she didn't want to wake her up from her sleep.She didn't know that Ah Mao went up the iron stairs, opened the door, saw something he shouldn't have seen, and fell from it. When she went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, she heard from Amao's companion that his ankle was broken. Amao lives in the husband's housing area, which is more than half an hour's drive from Chenshan Road. Ah Hua secretly stewed a pot of chicken soup, took some time, and brought it to Ah Mao to drink. The house Ah Mao rents has only one room, which is a small space of eight square meters. The kitchen and toilet are shared.Every time she walked into the dirty and messy room where Amao lived together, she would naturally think of the houses of Lu Jinshui and Fang Fang in Qingshuiwan community. She didn't know when they also had such a house Own a house and truly live like a city dweller.For a person like Amao struggling at the bottom, that may be an unrealized dream in his life. Ah Hua walked into Ah Mao's residence. Ah Mao whimpered. Seeing Ah Hua coming, he reluctantly sat up and smiled: "Ah Hua, you are here!" Amao obviously lost a lot of weight. Amao, who was already as skinny as a stick, became even more skinny, and that layer of skin would shrink day by day.Amao's eye sockets were sunken, his face was ashen, and when he spoke, a stench came out of his mouth. Ah Hua was very sad in her heart, tears glistened in her bright eyes. Ah Hua scooped up a bowl of thick chicken soup, put it in front of him, and fed him mouthful by mouthful. Amao said: "Ah Hua, you are so kind!" Ah Hua said, "Is it delicious?" Amao said: "It smells so good!" Ah Hua said tenderly: "Drink more if it tastes good, I will boil it for you often." Amao looked touched: "Ah Hua, this is too much trouble for you. I am very happy that you came to see me. Don't bring any more chicken soup. It is not good for your master to find out." Ah Hua said softly: "I'm not afraid when I find out, I bought it with my own money, I just hope you get well soon." Amao sighed. Ah Hua said: "Amao, tell me, how did you break your ankle?" Amao said: "When I came back from you that day, my motorcycle overturned and I hurt my foot." Ah Hua said, "I don't believe it!" Amao became anxious: "What I said is true, if I want to tell lies, I will die!" Ah Hua said: "Bah, bah, bah! Don't talk nonsense!" Ah Mao didn't dare to tell Ah Hua how he fell down the stairs outside the attic door, and then endured the severe pain to escape from the ghostly place that made him frightened when he thought of it. Ah Mao seemed to remember something, he He said to A'hua in a panic: "Ahua, you are doing it at that family's house, you must be careful!" Ah Hua said lightly: "I know, but don't worry, Grandma Mei takes good care of me." Amao said in his heart: "The one I want you to be careful of is that Grandma Mei!" But he didn't say that, he was afraid that Ah Hua would ask something, he would never tell Ah Hua what happened that night, he was just sweating for his beloved Ah Hua. Ah Hua said, "Ah Mao, is the part of your hand bitten by Zhang Xiaotiao better?" Amao said, "It's much better." Ah Hua wanted to untie the gauze on his arm, but Ah Mao refused: "It's really much better, you don't have to worry." In fact, the wound was festering more and more, and he didn't let A'hua see it because he didn't want her to worry. Ah Hua said with concern: "I think it's better to go to the hospital, so that the injuries on the hands and feet will heal faster." Amao said: "The hospital fee is so expensive, I can't afford it. You know, my family is poor, and I don't have much money. If I live in this hospital, I will have nothing to do in a year. How can I marry you when I have no money!" Ah Hua was speechless. She wanted to help Ah Mao, but she had no money. She only kept a small part of her monthly wages for herself, and sent the rest back to her mother. She suddenly thought of Fangfang, can I borrow some money from her? After staying for a while, Ah Hua was about to rush back to Mei Ping's house. When Ah Hua was leaving, Ah Mao suddenly asked her pitifully: "Ah Hua, can you kiss me?" Ah Hua hesitated for a while and said: "A Mao, let's talk about it after you recover from your injury. You should take good care of your injury now and don't think about it wildly, okay?" Amao was a little desperate, but he just nodded and said, "Okay!" When Ah Hua walked out of Ah Mao's room, she suddenly had a premonition that Ah Mao was in danger. Zhang Wenbo and his younger sister Zhang Wenling sat in the mahjong room and talked calmly.Zhang Wenling was rarely at peace, the door was closed, and Zhang Xiaotiao sat alone in the living room, waiting boredly for Zhang Wenbo to take him home after talking with Zhang Wenling.He was not interested in what Zhang Wenbo and Zhang Wenling said. His cousin locked herself in the room, not knowing what she was doing, and he knew that her cousin didn't want to talk to him. After coming out of Wanqing's place, Zhang Wenbo was dizzy, but at this moment his mind was unusually clear.After he told Zhang Wenling about Zhang Xiaotiao stabbing Manli's ass with a knife, Zhang Wenling frowned: "How did Xiaotiao become like this? Wen Bo, you know why I asked you to take him back ?" Zhang Wenbo shook his head. Zhang Wenling said: "Last night, Xiaotiao went into his cousin's room and grabbed his cousin's buttocks. His cousin's crying woke us up. Why do you think this happened to Xiaotiao? " Zhang Wenbo said: "Xiaotiao said that Li Li wanted to kill him. Did Li Li make him crazy? After Li Li's puppy was killed, she suspected everyone in our family." Zhang Wenling said: "Xiaotiao told me what happened the night he disappeared, and he also talked about Li Li. He has a deep grudge against Li Li, but I don't think Li Li can do that. After all, Zhang Xiaotiao is her." His son, unless Li Li is fucking human. After Xiaotiao told me about that, I thought of a person, by the way, that person is Wen Biyu. I always remember that person’s name." Zhang Wenbo suddenly remembered that inexplicably spent night at the Marriott Cemetery, and the name on the tombstone: "Wen Biyu? Who is Wen Biyu?" Zhang Wenling said: "Wenbo, have you forgotten the incident that caused a sensation in Chiban City at our house during the Cultural Revolution? It was the female Red Guard named Wen Biyu who fell from the dormer window on the fourth floor something dead?" Zhang Wenbo murmured, "Wen Biyu..." He pictured the mutilated body of a woman, and the woman who died in the car accident.These days, he was terrified, and he was cautious every time he drove, for fear of any accidents, and he was especially afraid that the police would stop his car, and he was afraid that the police would find out that he was the one who left the cemetery that morning.He originally wanted to go to the suburbs these few days to burn something for the dead woman so that she would stop pestering him, but he didn't expect that Zhang Xiaotiao stabbed Manli's ass again, and that incident was again dragged down. Zhang Wenling didn't know what Zhang Wenbo was thinking, she continued: "That day, you were not at home, and you didn't know what happened that day. Because I was too frightened at the time, I never told you, and then you went to Yunnan to jump in the queue, After I came back, I had already left that sad home. That day, a group of Red Guards rushed in, yelling to ransack the house, and the leader was the female Red Guard Wen Biyu. When they came to the garden, there was a bird’s nest on the camphor tree. There were two chicks chirping. Wen Biyu heard the chirping of the chicks, took a bamboo pole for drying clothes, smashed down the nest, and trampled the two chicks to death. Seeing Wen Biyu's ferocious appearance, I cried in fright. I hid behind my father, trembling all over. From then on, I knew that women can be so cruel. After trampling the bird to death, they rushed in I went upstairs and ransacked the house. Mei Ping, my father and I were standing in the garden. I wanted to bury the two poor birds, but my father stopped me and told me not to move. Wen Biyu When I took people to the fourth-floor attic, I found that the door of the attic was locked. You know, that door has been locked. We have never entered it. I don’t know what’s weird inside. The secret inside is only Mei Ping. No one knew, not even her father. Wen Biyu asked someone to call Mei Ping up and asked her to open the door. Mei Ping went into the building, and my father and I were still standing in the garden. What did I do at that time? I didn't think about it, nor did I think about Mei Ping's safety. I just thought about how to bury the two poor dead birds. About ten minutes later, my father and I saw Wen Biyu fall from the dormer window with a head. She hit the edge of the flower pot and died on the spot. I thought it was Mei Ping who pushed her down. If so, Mei Ping might have been shot. However, a Red Guard said that Mei Ping did not push her. She accidentally fell down by herself. I don't believe there will be anyone who can speak for Mei Ping at that time." Zhang Wenbo was at a loss. What is the internal connection between the person who died in their home and their current life?It's been so long. Zhang Wenling looked at Zhang Wenbo's livid face, and said quietly, "Wenbo, you have never met Wen Biyu, but do you know how much she resembles a person?" Zhang Wenbo trembled and said, "Who?" Zhang Wenling said: "Li Li, she and Li Li look exactly the same. Her face and figure are like two coins carved out of the same mold. I remember very clearly that over the years, she cruelly trampled to death the two chicks. The appearance of her has always been in my mind, and I will never forget her, and when I think of her, I will be afraid, inexplicably afraid." Li Li worked for a few days in the "Poetic Dwelling" real estate company, and a problem arose. She worried whether she would be able to work here for a long time. Work is the only thing a woman can rely on. She doesn't want to lose her job because of something.The boss, Wang Ying, is a rich and very dark old woman. She always exudes a strong perfume smell. I heard that she has body odor, and she has been using perfume to cover up the body odor.She doesn't care about these, Li Li is not that kind of casual woman.It should be said that Wang Ying took good care of her and gave her a small separate office, and her salary was good, which was several times higher than that of working in a publishing house. When Li Li came to see her on the first day, Wang Ying took her in very readily, and said that she dared not neglect the person Gong Ruowang introduced, as if Gong Ruowang had a great background, and Li Li didn't know it until now. What did Gong Ruowang do? This made her a little confused. She felt that she was outrageous to the point of being dizzy. She decided to ask him carefully the next time she saw him. If she and him could really be together, what did he do? If you don't know, isn't that a joke! Wang Ying smiled and said to her: "Gong Ruowang said that you are the editor of the publishing house, so you are also a literati. I like dealing with literati. Our company was named after a poet friend named Mo Mo. Do you know Mo Mo? " Wang Ying's words made Li Li feel close. She said, "I've heard of it, but I haven't been in touch with it." Wang Ying said: "It doesn't matter. If there is a chance in the future, I will introduce you. He has been engaged in real estate planning for a while, and he will inevitably deal with you in the future." As she said that, Wang Ying made a phone call, with a charming smile on her face: "Ruowang, the person you introduced is here, don't worry, I will treat her well, how about treating her as my sister? Haha , okay, then you have to repay me well..." From the analysis of the demeanor and tone of Wang Ying and Gong Ruowang's speech, the relationship between Wang Ying and Gong Ruowang is very delicate. Li Li caught this information with a woman's intuition, but she didn't think more about it... Let Li Li finds it strange that Wang Ying calls her over after work every day, chats with her about Gong Ruowang, and asks some inexplicable questions, such as "How is Gong Ruowang's mouth? Gong Ruowang's physique Not bad, how do you think his stamina is?" Li Li didn't know how to answer such questions, and what made Li Li uncomfortable was that the employees in the company seemed to be pointing at her behind her back, with an ambiguous expression Look at her.She sensed something wrong. An invisible pressure was placed on her body like a shackle, and the sound of breathing was everywhere. Li Li tried to escape a kind of spiritual shackle, but she found it so difficult. Once when she was about to get off work, she called Gong Ruowang in the office, hoping to go to his place after get off work. She had a lot of things she wanted to tell him, and she wanted him to hug her to soothe her anxious heart.But Gong Ruowang said that he had something to do and asked her to talk about it another day. When Li Li thinks of going home, she feels extremely painful in her heart. As long as she steps into that house, all the difficulties will be on her body. She thinks of her throat that was cut, and she wants to take revenge... She wants to forget what happened in that house Everything that happened at home, to live a normal life again.Only Gong Ruowang can help her do this, she thinks she has made a good start, and she doesn't want to fall into a desperate situation again.Thinking of home, resentment would appear in her eyes. She reached out her hand to the bottom, lifted her skirt, scratched vigorously on her thigh, and scratched out bloodstains... Ah Hua hasn't been to Lu Jinshui's house since the last time.Fangfang seems to have forgotten her, immersed in the two-person world with Lu Jinshui, and doesn't care about Ah Hua at all.Lu Jinshui called a few times, his voice on the phone sounded mysterious and cold, he asked Ah Hua how the matter was going, and he was waiting. Ah Hua didn't have the guts to do that, besides, it was not that easy to get into the attic. Ah Hua didn't want Lu Jinshui to call her again, because Mei Ping was always at home, and she was afraid that Mei Ping would know something. But the strange thing is that every time Lu Jinshui called, it was when there was no one at home. In order to treat Ah Mao, the naive Ah Hua decided to go to Lu Jinshui's house to find Fang Fang, and maybe she would lend money to Ah Hua.Ah Hua made up her mind that if they lent her money, she would send their monthly salary to them, and she could even consider working as a nanny for their family. When Ah Hua heard Mei Ping playing the piano, she quietly slipped out of the iron gate. Ah Hua's face was full of sorrow. The sun was shining fiercely on her body. She walked on the street with a sense of no hesitation. At this time, she forgot the humiliation Zhang Xiaotiao gave her, the pain Li Li gave her, and even her grandma Wu Qinglian. What appeared in her eyes was Amao's ashen face and his desperate eyes. Ah Hua found that she really fell in love with that pork seller Ah Mao, for him, she was not afraid of death.However, when she walked to the gate of Qingshuiwan Community, Ah Hua felt something was wrong. The Qingshuiwan community is not as peaceful as usual, but boiling like a pot of boiling water. A large group of people surrounded the gate of the community, and they were chatting about something. "It's so miserable. Such a big bottle of sulfuric acid was poured on her face. How can this woman be so cruel! She really can't be judged by her appearance. How can a woman who seems to be educated and reasonable be so cruel and merciless!" "If you're divorced, find another man to live a good life. Why hang yourself on a tree? Since he married a nanny and abandoned you, why do you still have nostalgia for him? Doing so harms others and yourself! " "I think that little nanny deserves it. It's not a good thing. Look at him like a vixen. He deserves it for breaking up other families!" "It's not right for you to say that. Isn't the little nanny a human being? If the man hadn't seduced her, she wouldn't have done such a thing. " ... Ah Hua vaguely felt that something happened to Fang Fang. Sure enough, Ah Hua learned the truth from a security guard: after Fangfang walked out triumphantly from the community, Lu Jinshui's ex-wife rushed over, unscrewed the lid of a glass bottle, and poured a bottle of concentrated sulfuric acid on on Fangfang's face... There was no one in the building except Mei Ping, and Mei Ping never asked where those people were going or what they were doing.She quietly went up to the fourth floor, opened the door of the attic, and after entering the attic, Mei Ping lit a red candle.In the flickering candlelight, Mei Ping came to the bed, lifted the red silk quilt, and a white bone appeared under the candlelight. The skull seemed to turn around, staring at Mei Ping with empty eye sockets. Mei Ping sat on the bed, put one hand on the skull of the skull, and stroked it. The skull of the skull was unusually smooth, giving off a blurred luster. Mei Ping said softly: "Weishan, you have been liberated, you have been liberated a long time ago, you don't need to drink Huangfengtang's traditional Chinese medicine anymore, and you don't have pain anymore; Weishan, you don't have to be afraid of that female Red Guard anymore, she will I won’t come to disturb you anymore, Weishan.” This scene appeared in Mei Ping's eyes: she opened the door of the attic, and the female Red Guard named Wen Biyu asked her to turn on the light. She said that there was no light in this room.Wen Biyu rushed in, and the other Red Guards were overwhelmed by the eerie atmosphere in the attic, so they dared not go in. They stood on the stairs outside, and only Mei Ping and the Red Guard who later testified for her stood at the door. wait and see.Wen Biyu walked to the dormer window, opened the curtains with a snap, and the sunlight poured in. Wen Biyu seemed to hear a mournful sigh. She opened the window, looked downstairs, and felt a force pulling her away. Lifting it up, she screamed and fell headfirst... A faint smile appeared on Mei Ping's face, and she said, "Weishan, I will guard you all my life, and I will guard you in this building and never leave." As she spoke, she turned sideways and half-lyed on the bed. She hugged the skull, hugged it in her arms, lowered her head, and kissed the skull's forehead. Mei Ping was talking alone, crying for a while, laughing for a while, as if she was talking with another person about the ups and downs of the past years. Mei Ping did not expect that a man with a sad face returned to the building, quietly went up to the fourth floor, put his ear on the attic door, and secretly listened to her. "...Weishan, there is one thing I have not confessed to you. You must forgive me. I believe that I am the only one in this world who will always guard you. That matter has nothing to do with Lu Fushan. What he said That's right, I killed Qinglian, because I love you more. Now, her granddaughter is at home. She looks very beautiful, just like Qinglian back then. When I see her, I will think of Qinglian and us. The two take turns playing your favorite "Moonlight Song" for you..." The person who eavesdropped outside the door was trembling all over, with complex lights shining in his eyes.
