Seven Evil Slips: 128|[Extra]
Caught off guard, even Luo Ren couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, Mu Dai and Yan Hongsha took a step back almost at the same time, under ten thousand three's scalp numb, they actually grabbed Luo Ren's arm.
Cao Yanhua didn't move. After a long while, he turned his head tremblingly and asked Luo Ren: "Brother Luo, that dog just... just took a look at me."
The scene just now was really shocking, but Cao Yanhua's reaction really made him dumbfounded.
How should I explain it clearly to Cao Yanhua? It's like watching a 3D movie. You think the dog is looking at you, but in fact, all the audience think so.
He said: "That dog didn't look at you specifically, everyone was looked at by it..."
In the middle of speaking, it stopped abruptly.
Because, the sound of groaning and getting up with arms propped up was coming from behind.
Xiang Silan woke up.
I don't know why, but Kiyo was the last one to turn back, and even stood behind him.
She heard Luo Ren ask Xiang Silan: "You remember everything, right?"
Xiang Silan struggled to move, trying to sit up while supporting the bed frame, but if she moved a little, her chest hurt so badly that she almost couldn't breathe.
She just lay on the bed like that, different from the ferocious and ruthless one before, with a lot more vigilance in her eyes.
There was a rumble in the throat, and he said vaguely: "Ni...Meng..."
Then he coughed, as if he was clearing his throat, but despite his efforts, he still made a weird sound, and then hissed in pain.
Luo Ren said softly: "She is not used to talking now, it will take about two days."
Kiyo's chest heaved violently, she suddenly pushed away Luo Ren in front of her, and strode to the bed.
Ask her directly: "Do you remember, twenty years ago, you had a daughter, and later, you sent her to an orphanage?"
Xiang Silan froze for a moment, frowned suspiciously, and looked at her uncertainly.
Kiyo said: "I know it's inconvenient for you to talk and nod, you just need to blink, yes, or not?"
Xiang Silan still didn't answer, Kiyo bit his lip and just stared at her.
Luo Ren came up and said, "Kido, don't worry about this..."
Kiyo still looks at Xiang Silan: "Yes or no, is it difficult to blink?"
Xiang Silan pulled the corner of his mouth, showing a stiff expression, and then blinked his eyes.
Luo Ren sighed softly in his heart.
Kiyo laughed instead.
She said: "Oh, that's it. I'm just telling you, and then she died of illness in the orphanage."
Luo Ren was taken aback, Yan Hongsha lost his voice and said: "Muyo, you are not..."
Kiyo didn't finish listening, and didn't seem to be ready to listen, so he turned and walked out the door.
Luo Ren called her: "Kiyo!"
She didn't listen, she walked faster and faster, Luo Ren had no choice but to whisper, "You guys stay here."
He chased her out and saw her slender figure walking through the rice field, the cloth of the clothes rubbing against the straw of the rice, making a rustling sound.
Luo Ren called her again: "Kiyo!"
This time, she stopped and turned slowly.
The wind blew, and her long hair was raised, and a few strands hung on the blowing ears of rice.
Luo Ren walked over and helped her separate the hair from the ears of rice.
Ask her: "Did you think of something again?"
"Remember why she sent me away."
Luo Ren paused.
"Why?"
Kiyo smiles.
Said: "Her guests are getting better and better with me, buying me sweets, stuffing me with money, and calling me a little kid."
The wind wasn't cold, but Luo Ren's arms began to arouse a shivering chill.
Kiyo looked past him, and looked not far away, Xiang Silan's brightly lit room.
Those people, she couldn't even tell their faces apart.
He would touch her head affectionately, stuff her with money, say "here, take it to buy candy", and hold her in his arms, no matter how disgusted and annoying she is about it.
My mother was just beside me, smiling and occasionally frowning, but she never said anything, and never offended the guests.
And then came the morning.
That morning, she was woken up very early by Xiang Silan, and she was sitting on the edge of the small table drinking rice soup. There was a rare fried egg in the dish, golden yellow and oval.
While drinking, she secretly looked at the egg, her eyes quickly went up, and then quickly looked back.
Until Xiang Silan said: "It's for you to eat."
I was so happy, I grabbed it and ate it, my little hands were greasy.
Later, her mother led her out, carrying some washed, big peaches.
She took Xiang Silan's hand and asked, "Mom, where are you going?"
Xiang Silan said: "Go to a place where there are no bad uncles."

After discussing, several people decided to stay in Nantian for a few more days, partly to wait for Xiang Silan to fully recover, and partly to deal with follow-up matters.
Ma Chao was still awake, but Song Tie was brought into the police station again.
Luo Ren approached Chen Xiangrong, whom he had contacted before, to inquire about the situation. After Chen Xiangrong confirmed that this was not a "leaking of secrets", he beamed and said to Luo Ren: The police are also very angry. Did you get it? Why did you turn around and say you haven't seen it? Are you coaxing us to play?
Looks like the situation is very good, Luo Ren struck while the iron was hot, and ordered Yan Hongsha to send a letter. This time, the letter also included a statement about the patient's condition issued by the well-known psychologist Dr. He Ruihua.
It mentions a patient named Kiyo who "has a long experience in martial arts", "but is not aggressive", and "will choose to run away to protect himself when he is greatly stimulated".
Another casual sentence: If you want to know the truth, it would be more appropriate to ask Ma Chao.
The signature is still: an insider who does not want to be named.
***
At Xiang Silan's place, people go to Xiang Silan's place every day like they are in shifts, half monitoring and half taking care of her - she seems unable to recover, she must drag a stool when she walks, her waist is hunched, she is out of breath after two steps, and even more so Most of the time, a person sits alone, clears his throat and talks vaguely, babbling.
Only Kiyo didn't go, when she asked, her tone was very blunt: "We'll wait until she can speak."
About this question, Luo Ren feels like "the chicken lays the egg and the chicken", and he will never understand it.
Sometimes, he thought, it was actually good for Xiang Silan to send Mudai away, so as to save her from being hurt by dirty people.
But after thinking about it, a mother, in order to maintain her own guests and livelihood, chooses to abandon her daughter in another country under the balance of the two, even if the follow-up produces good results, what does it mean?
He asked Kiyo: "When she can talk, what do you want to talk to her about?"
"Don't talk about anything, take a formality."
Leave a formality and say goodbye. This is indeed Kiyo's character. She doesn't like stories without endings. Even if she leaves quietly, she must leave a note saying: Don't look for me, you won't find it if you look for it.
"Do you want to ask your mother about your father's situation?"
She shook her head: "I don't want to."
Everyone has parents, parents have parents, not being together is always due to various changes, either because of money, or love, or family pressure, accidents, under the sun, there is no New things, nothing more than those kinds.
Her time is also precious, and she doesn't want to pursue the stories that upset others.
Luo Ren carefully looked at her face: "Really don't want to?"
Kiyo asked back: "What can I do if I find it?"
She has no impression of that father even more. Could it be that one day when he stands in front of him, they will have a father-daughter relationship?
Luo Ren smiled and said, "That's good."
He feels that Kiyo's personality has changed a bit these days.
Maybe it's because of Xiang Silan's emotional instability.
***
Xiang Silan spoke about three days later.
The voice is ugly, hoarse and hoarse, but at least I can communicate.
At that time, it happened to be Luo Ren.
Ask her: "How many people have you killed?"
She hunched over and replied, "I can't remember."
Luo Ren doesn't believe it.
Xiang Silan said: "I really don't remember clearly. Many people said a lot. I don't necessarily see the results of everything."
Understood, all these years, she has been asking specific people to utter groundless lies, not all of which point to human life-sometimes, she just throws down the words lightly and lets them swell on the tip of other people's tongues And expand, to provoke, destroy, divide, and create small conflicts.
Whether these small conflicts are eliminated or further escalated depends on everyone's luck.
"Why choose Tengma carving platform?"
"I didn't choose it, it chose it."
It?
Xiang Silan's voice was as low as a whisper: "It likes that place."
Why do you like that place? Because it is abandoned and empty? In the night without lights, there are only the sound of wind and the rustling of rice grains bending over, and the silhouette of a pranced horse with its head missing is hidden in the harmonious night.
In general, it looks like an ancient altar.
"Why kill those people?"
"It does."
What it did, she just cooperated, looked on coldly, contributed to the flames, and even had the pleasure of revenge.
"Do you know what it is?"
"Don't know."
He looked down at his heart again: "But I just know that there is one there, it will buzz me and tell me what to do."
"Can you control people to do anything?"
She shook her head slowly, with a sly smile on her lips: "I only let people talk, but sometimes, the effect is surprisingly good."
Because of many tragedies that could not be ended, the original origin was just a look of disdain or an unpleasant word.
Luo Ren felt a little absurd.
Different from the previous people who were possessed by the murderous Jane and became murderers, Xiang Silan may not have actually killed a single person in the past twenty years.
She just walked by indifferently, never even opening her mouth. If the whole thing goes to court, will the law convict her?
Luo Ren asked the last question.
"Why did you abandon your daughter in the first place?"
Xiang Silan started laughing, laughing harder, her chest felt like a sharp pain, and her waist was buried a little further, looking from the side, it looked like a rolled up gong.
In the past, her heart was extremely strong, and all the organs and bones gave way to it; but now, the situation is reversed, and the entire upper body has to be used, bent and curled up, to protect it.
She said: "Actually, it's that girl, right?"
Then murmured: "She has grown up, what's her name?"
***
Luo Ren's phone call reaches Yan Hongsha's mobile phone, and Yan Hongsha forwards it to Muyo.
On the phone, Luo Ren asked her, Xiang Silan is awake, do you want to come and see her?
Kiyo said: "Okay."
Yan Hongsha wanted to go with her, but she said, "Let me go by myself."
The tone was very soft, but the attitude was unquestionable. Cao Yanhua came over and pulled Yan Hongsha, indicating: It's her housework.
Kiyo went out without a hat or a mask, with his hands in his pockets, walked through the streets at dusk, and walked across the iconic bridge in Nantian. Any trace of memory.
Nantian is not a hometown, but a city called Nantian.
Luo Ren was waiting for her at the door and asked, "Want to accompany you?"
"I can do it myself."
"Then I'll wait for you outside."
Pause, then added: "She already guessed that you are her daughter."
***
Kiyo finally sat opposite Xiang Silan.
Xiang Silan curled up on the bed, bowed her body, and covered her chest with both hands, defending her fragile heart.
Kiyo asked her: "I told you, how did you feel when your daughter died of illness in the orphanage?"
Xiang Silan glanced at her indifferently.
Kiyo laughed at himself: That's right, I sent everyone away and left it behind for twenty years. Does it really matter how she felt when she heard the bad news? Could it be that she was comforted when she felt sad?
Changed the subject and asked her: "How will I live after preparation?"
Xiang Silan replied: "I need money."
When he said that, he kept his eyes on her, as if he had hope.
Kiyo smiled: "Do you think I will support you?"
Xiang Silan said: "I sent you away."
"Look at you now, how clean and beautiful you are. Sit across from me and talk to me with your head held high."
Her voice was lowered: "If I don't send you away, what will happen to you? You will hang out with dubious people at a young age, and you have a daughter early, don't want it, don't want it I can't give it away."
"How nice this is, how decent you are now, and there is a man who loves you."
Kiyo sneered: "It's as if everything is your credit."
Xiang Silan moved her body with difficulty: "In the past, I didn't feel hungry or get sick even if I didn't eat. But now it's different. It's hard for me to walk now, I can't straighten my waist, and my heart beats every now and then. Jumping, sometimes, it seems like I don’t want to jump.”
She also knows that the situation is different, and she also knows that the first time to examine her situation is as realistic as it was twenty years ago.
Kiyo smiled: "Unfortunately, I don't have any money for you."
"You should give me money."
Kiyo laughed: "Why?"
"Just because you were not born to me."
Kiyo froze for a moment.
Xiang Silan shrinks back into the bed: "I picked you up from the bridge, you know the bridge in Nantian, right? At that time, the new bridge on the river hadn't been built yet, it was still a wooden bridge. One night, I passed by there and heard a child crying under the bridge."
"It's you, the kitten is a little bit bigger, his face is red from crying, and there is a towel wrapped around his body, so I picked you up."
Kiyo looked at her: "Are you so kind? You can't even support yourself."
Xiang Silan laughed: "Because at that time, the police were investigating very tightly, and single women from outside were the main suspects. I thought it would be better to have a child."
He said again: "Would I spend money to buy milk powder to feed you? Don't think it's hard to raise you, boil some rice and vegetable leaf soup, just drink it."
"I don't want you later, but I can't give it away. You are not a boy. Just take it with you and raise it as you like."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Kiyo and asked, "Should I give me money? I picked you up, raised you, and sent you away. Some compensation is also appropriate."
It seems to be like this, and it should be compensated.
For a while, Kiyo didn't know how to answer. At this moment, Luo Ren's chuckle sounded at the door: "Blackmail?"
He came in step by step, looked at Xiang Silan, then turned to look at Muyo, and said, "You wait for me in the car."
Kiyo said: "Luo Ren, this matter..."
She didn't know how much Luo Ren heard, and she didn't know where to start to explain.
Luo Ren interrupted her: "Go and wait for me in the car, I will come later."
***
Watching Muyo leave, Luo Ren let out a long breath, sat down opposite Xiang Silan, after a while, reached into his arms, and took out a thick envelope.
Xiang Silan stretched out his hand to pick it up, but Luo Ren suddenly withdrew his hand, and she took it empty.
Xiang Silan was a little stunned. After a while, she understood and said, "I keep my word."
"You'd better keep your word, you know what I'm buying with this money."
Xiang Silan said: "I know. I won't talk back when I bought it, and I won't show up in front of her again."
Luo Ren threw the envelope on the bed: "If you buy it, you will never be her mother."
***
Kiyo leaned on the car and waited for Luo Ren, writing on the ground with his toes, he didn't know what he was writing.
Luo Ren strode over, met her questioning gaze, and said, "Get in the car."
While talking, he walked around to the driver's seat and opened the door. After getting in the car, he found that Muyo hadn't come up. He was still standing there, looking at Xiang Silan's house in the distance, and then turned his head to look at him.
Ask: "What about her?"
Luo Ren said: "We won't use this place anymore."
"But she just told me that she wants money..."
Luo Ren interrupted her and said word by word: "I have already solved it, she is very satisfied, and I will not suffer."
Kiyo got into the car half-believing and half-suspecting.
When she lowered her head to fasten the seat belt, the bayonet was always misaligned, so Luo Ren turned sideways to help her fasten it.
Your chin brushes against his hair, itching.
Kiyo turned his head and looked down at him for a while.
"Luo Ren?"
"Huh?"
"She said, I was not born by her, but picked up by her."
Luo Ren's movements were slightly stagnant, but he quickly returned to normal. He looked up at Kiyo: "What about you, what do you think?"
Kiyo sighed: "Luo Xiaodao, you are really, never surprised."
Luo Ren teased her: "What does it look like to be surprised, come and see?"
Kiyo laughed, paused and said, "But it's strange, I'm actually very happy."
She looked up at him: "Why? It's because I didn't realize it myself. Am I despising her?"
Luo Ren said: "Because some hurt, if it does not come from the closest people, we will find it easy to forgive."
Kiyo remained silent.
Maybe so, when I heard Xiang Silan say that she was just picked up, there was a moment of relief in my heart.
