end of ten days.

Jiaqi's parents never asked me about my age, they just kept talking to me about Jiaqi's shortcomings, so let me forgive you.

I kept smiling and agreed, feeling like I was floating in mid-air.

I thought it would be an embarrassing party, but the embarrassing person turned out to be Jia Qi somehow, which made me laugh out loud.

My parents complained about Jiaqi's shortcomings, and my sister complained about Jiaqi's embarrassing things. It was the first time I saw the embarrassed expression on Jiaqi's face.

I happily took a few photos and sent them to Moments that haven't been updated in three years.

Today is the beginning of my new life.

"Chenze, Jay Chou is coming to Chengdu in five days, and I couldn't be with you at Ren Xianqi's concert last time, do you want to be together this time?" Jiaqi asked.

"Well, if you have time, of course."

"Jingle Bell--"

Jiaqi's cell phone rang, and the note was the Public Security Bureau of Qingyang District.

"Hello?" Jiaqi sat next to me with a smile on his face, picked up the phone and answered, "Yes, I'm Lawyer Sun, what's the matter?"

There was a muffled voice on the other end of the phone. Although I was very close to Jiaqi, I couldn't hear it clearly.

"What...? Okay, I see. I'll look for you tomorrow morning. Let's try to combine these two cases together." Jiaqi's smile slowly sank, "Yes, I understand. Although for that girl It's a pity, but the bad guys can be punished thoroughly."

Jiaqi hung up the phone with a melancholy expression on his face. A few seconds later, he turned his head and gave me a wink.

I came to the balcony with him and looked at him inexplicably.

"Chen Ze, I don't know if it's good news, but because it's related to you, I have to tell you." Jia Qi said to me with a smile.

"what?"

"The police investigation found that there was a female corpse buried in the backyard of the horse butcher, and it was found by comparison that it was a female college student who disappeared many years ago."

"Women's University...student...?" My voice trembled a little when I heard these four words.

There are very few female college students in our village.

"Yes." Jiaqi took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, "Oh... I don't know if it's good news, but it's a certainty that the horse butcher will be sentenced to death. I'll go to the police tomorrow Looking at the specific situation, it is said that it has been buried in his backyard for more than ten years..."

I feel dizzy in my head.

"Jiaqi...what's the name of that female, female college student...?" I asked.

"I seem to have heard the name just now, but I didn't remember it. I heard it was to support education." Xiao Sun looked at me with some doubts, "What's the matter? Chen Ze, do you know that girl?"

A female college student who supports teaching...how could I not know her?

She is the most important light in my life.

Under the light of this light, I successfully left the village and spent the rest of my life constantly running towards a better life.

I never thought that the bright light that illuminated my journey would stay there forever.

For so many years...she was buried in the horse butcher's backyard...

How scared should she be?

How hopeless?

My body gradually began to tremble.

In the little house of the horse butcher, I saw scratches all over the walls.

Those scratches are clearly showing some age.

Is that so?

Teacher Ning Wan'er, in a certain time and space, were you ever as desperate as me?

No...you are more desperate than I am.

Because you know that no one in this world will save you... You also know that you will never escape from this village.

You can only slowly accept your own death, you can only stay there forever.

My lighthouse, the bright light of my life, a woman who gave me all hope, died in that small room as desperately as a pig one day more than ten years ago.

"Jiaqi...I...I feel very bad..." My eyes were red and swollen, and I felt that the whole sky was smashed, "I might lose my temper, I want to go home first..."

"Chenze... you can tell me if you have something to do." Xiao Sun stared into my eyes and said, "I can solve everything for you."

solve……?

Sadly... this matter no longer needs to be resolved.

Teacher Ning Wan'er is dead, and now the horse butcher has to pay for his life. Isn't this matter resolved from all aspects?

But why am I still so desperate?

"Ding--"

My phone, which hadn't rang for a long time, suddenly received a WeChat message.

It's news of success.

"Yo? Playing with friends?"

Probably because of my circle of friends, Chengcai who has not been in touch for 800 years actually took the initiative to talk to me.

But it doesn't matter, these people can't influence me anymore, I will block all their contact information now.

I sighed, swiped the screen to the left, and when I was about to delete the conversation, I received the message again.

I hesitated for a moment, but opened it up and took a look.

"Does your boyfriend know what you look like?"

Next is a screenshot of the chat between Chengcai and the horse butcher.

Butcher Ma: "Women who have been trained by urbanites are coquettish, let me show you."

Next is my photo.

My photos that I thought were erased from the world are now appearing in front of my eyes one by one.

There are a few videos in the back, which trampled all my dignity under my feet.

I really can't escape this village... I can't escape this cannibalistic village.

Can you let me go?

Can you act like you've never seen me before?

You just think I'm dead, can't you? !

"Chenze, what's wrong with you?" Jiaqi asked with some doubts, "Who sent you the message?"

"I……"

He was about to poke his head over, but I immediately put the lock screen of my phone in my pocket. In my panic, I even bumped my elbow, but I didn't feel any pain.

I'm really too scared, I don't want Jiaqi to see me like this, even if everyone in the world can see it...... I must not let Jiaqi see it.

"Ah...?" Jiaqi was not angry when he saw that I put away the phone in a panic, but looked a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry Chenze, I didn't mean to spy on your privacy..."

"Ah no...not..." I waved my hands in a panic.

Since the establishment of the relationship, Xiao Sun would sit next to me every time he answered the phone. Maybe he wanted to give me a sense of security, or maybe it was to make me feel at ease, and he would always do this kind of behavior inadvertently.

He never hides from me, but this time I put away my phone in a hurry, which is not fair to him.

"Jiaqi...it's not what you think...I..."

I didn't even think about how to explain it, but I wanted to cry and scold the world.

But I can't cry.

If I cry, Jiaqi will be worried.

It's obviously my own problem, but insisting on implicating others is wrong.

So the best choice at this moment should be for me to go home silently and find a place where no one is there to cry bitterly, just like every day for ten years.

"I know...I know..." Jiaqi nodded seriously, "Chenze, it's okay, I didn't mean to blame you, everyone has things that they don't want others to know, when you want to tell me, I will Just wait here."

I felt like the whole world was spinning that day.

What exactly should I do?

I don't remember how I left Jiaqi's house. When I came back to my senses, I was standing in the living room at home looking at my mobile phone in a daze.

Chengcai called.

If this matter is not resolved, my life will never be peaceful.

I took out the recording pen from the drawer, turned on the recording function of the mobile phone, pressed the speakerphone, and answered the phone.
