Dip in fire

"Sorry for what? What's wrong? What are you kneeling here for!" Yan Huiwan tried to pull Zhang Weilan, but she couldn't get up.

No matter what Yan Huiwan said or asked, Zhang Weilan just kept silent.He lowered his head, and his knees seemed to grow on the ground, as if they were dead.

The old lady Yan was so anxious that she couldn't breathe, she couldn't move Zhang Weilan, so she could only let him kneel.

Yan Huiwan turned around, picked up the key, and quickly opened the door.Her heart was beating fast, she was sure—this was no small matter.

What happened?What's the matter with Zhang Weilan?

Opening the door, Yan Huiwan froze for a few seconds with trembling hands.

In her dim old eyes, Zhong Ning was sitting in the corner with tattered sleeves, shut her mouth tightly and said nothing.And Zhong Pei actually held a stick in his hand, hitting Zhong Ning repeatedly.

There was a "bang bang" sound.

Yan Huiwan stared at the stick for a long time, and recognized that it was the head of her mop.

"What are you doing!" The old lady ran over and hugged Zhong Pei from behind, "Why are you beating the child like this? Can't you talk properly if you have something to say? Are you crazy? Are you crazy!"

Zhong Pei tore again for a while, Zhong Ning refused to hide at all, just hung his neck and was beaten, staring at his grandmother and mother.

"Little brat, why did you mess with your mother? Speak up! You admit your mistake first!" Yan Huiwan shouted at Zhong Ning.

Zhong Ning's mouth moved, facing the burning pain all over his body, his eyes were red, and he finally said hoarsely: "I'm not wrong."

"Bastard! Why did I give birth to such a bastard like you! Retribution, what retribution!" Zhong Pei raised the stick again to beat Zhong Ning, but Yan Huiwan hurriedly tried to grab it.

But she is not as strong as Zhong Pei, Zhong Pei is crazy and angry, heartbroken, and her relatives have long been disowned.Yan Huiwan had no choice but to step in front of Zhong Ning to block, stared at Zhong Pei and said, "Hit! You bastard, beat me to death too!"

Zhong Pei was taken aback for a moment, then threw the stick in his hand aside after a while, and then fell to the ground, covering his face and crying: "Mom...what to do, this child is crazy. What to do... …”

Yan Huiwan squatted down slowly, took two deep breaths and closed her eyes for a while.A farce made her dizzy.She supported Zhong Pei's shoulder and asked, "What's the matter? Tell Mom."

Yan Huiwan: "Mr. Zhong, don't cry...don't cry, my mother's heart aches when you cry..."

Zhang Weilan didn't know what was going on in the house or what was about to happen.He can't hear, can't see.He seems to have fallen into a deaf world.

The world is dark and lifeless, and everything around it is terrifying.

The sun obviously still exists, but it cannot shine into this world.

Zhang Weilan knelt at the door of Zhong Ning's house. He didn't know how long he knelt, until the sun went away and the innocence darkened. His knees were numb, then painful, numb again, painful again, and the cycle repeated several times.

The door in front of him finally opened.It was Zhong Pei who came out.

Zhong Pei is a strong and beautiful woman, and her distressed appearance is rare.When Lu Qingqing left, Zhang Weilan met her once.This is the second time.

Compared with the last time, this time apart from sadness and grief, Zhang Weilan also showed great fatigue on her face.Time is not willing to murder the sonorous skin and bones, and cannot bear to hurt the beautiful appearance.And at this moment, those decadent and old people seemed to find Zhong Pei in an instant.

Her messy hair, pale face, eyes swollen from crying... Zhang Weilan didn't dare to look at those eyes, they were red, like a blood hole in his heart.

Zhong Pei exhaled slowly, trembling with restraint, she looked at the top of Zhang Weilan's hair - this child, this child is also her palm.Why?

What the hell did she do wrong.For so many years, she has never let go, forcing herself to be stronger and stronger, and to work harder and harder.But why did God punish her like this?

Zhong Pei found out that she no longer looked down on Zhang Weilan.Zhong Pei turned his face away, entered the room again, and bit out a sentence viciously: "They are all white-eyed wolves."

Zhang Weilan's eyes were completely dark at this moment, and a heart-piercing cough suddenly choked in his throat.He put his hands on the ground and coughed for a while before stopping.

When Zhang Weilan looked up again, she saw Yan Huiwan standing in front of him.Yan Huiwan also had red eyes, obviously crying.

Zhang Weilan's heart was hollowed out, and now she has no idea, so she can only follow her instinct and call someone mechanically: "Grandma."

"Get up." Yan Huiwan didn't help Zhang Weilan this time. She was silent for a long time before she said, "I'll talk about the big things tomorrow."

Yan Huiwan sighed heavily: "You go home first, it's outrageous to always kneel here."

The old lady looked at Zhang Weilan for a while, but Zhang Weilan didn't dare to look up at her again—what kind of eyes did Yan Huiwan give him now?

complain?anger?disappointment?Zhang Weilan couldn't guess.It's not what it used to be anyway.

Yan Huiwan also turned around and went home, and Zhang Weilan's broken chanting fell into Zhang Weilan's ears: "I woke up in the middle of the night before and saw Zhong Ning come out of your window, I really didn't think much about it... Really not, I thought you were the same as before, the same..."

"Crack."

The door locked again.Yan Huiwan's voice also disappeared.

Zhang Weilan stayed where he was, but still didn't stand up.After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Huan walked up to Zhang Weilan's side, and pulled Zhang Weilan's arm timidly: "Brother."

Startled, Zhang Weilan regained her senses and turned to look at Xiaohuan.

Xiaohuan has been hiding in the house and dare not show her head. She doesn't know why, but she also knows that something serious happened at home.

She heard it, heard Aunt Zhong crying.

"Brother." Xiao Huan tried, shaking Zhang Weilan's arm lightly.

"Go home." Zhang Weilan finally said.He stood up and sat back down in a few seconds.

"Brother?" Xiao Huan stared blankly at Zhang Weilan.

"You go back first." Zhang Weilan said.

His legs were numb, and he couldn't stand up at all.

Xiao Huan stared at the dust on Zhang Weilan's knee, stretched out her small hand and patted it twice, frowned, and whispered, "If your leg hurts...then don't sit on the ground, I'll help you go."

Zhang Weilan didn't speak, but sat on the ground.Xiao Huan didn't leave, just stood in front of him motionless, waiting quietly.

After about a few minutes, Zhang Weilan stood up again.Xiao Huan hurried over to help him.But Xiao Huan is too small, and it is very difficult to support Zhang Weilan, it is more like Zhang Weilan is dragging her away...

After entering the house, Zhang Weilan's legs still hurt.He sat on the stool and rubbed his face.

Is Zhong Ning okay?

Zhong Pei hit him.It must hurt.

Zhang Weilan closed her eyes, then raised her head and stared at the ceiling again.Xiao Huan came over with a glass of water and poked Zhang Weilan's arm: "Brother, drink some water."

Zhang Weilan glanced at her, took a sip from the water glass and put it down, before speaking for a long time: "You finished your homework?"

"It's finished." Xiao Huan said immediately.

"Then you go into the house." Zhang Weilan couldn't even raise his head.

He was like a death row prisoner who had been severely sentenced, with heavy chains that smelled of blood hanging all over his body.It was Zhong Ning's blood, hot, warm and bright red.That's his favorite person.The blood of his lover flowed on him.

"I won't go into the house." Xiao Huan whispered, and simply squatted down at Zhang Weilan's feet.

"Brother, I don't know what happened." Xiao Huan squeezed Zhang Weilan's pants with her small hands, "But don't do this."

She had a sore nose, and her small face rolled around on Zhang Weilan's legs, leaving a snot mark on Zhang Weilan's pants.

Xiao Huan said, "Don't be sad."

If being sad is useful, Zhang Weilan would rather be sad to death.

But it didn't work, nothing worked.

For the next few days, there was a dead silence in the yard.

Zhang Weilan never saw Zhong Ning.He also rarely saw Zhong Pei going out, and even Yan Huiwan never went out dancing in a floral dress.

Zhong Ning was locked in the house all the time, his mobile phone was confiscated, and he didn't even go back to school.He was placed in solitary confinement.Zhang Weilan couldn't find him.

They were clearly in the same yard, separated by tens of meters, but Zhang Weilan couldn't find him, couldn't see him.

Zhang Weilan is the first time to experience what is called "so close to the world".The word turned out to be true.

It's not exaggerated, it's not an affectated travesty.it is true.It is a tormenting devil, making him wish to destroy the world.

It's a pity that he can't destroy the sky after all, nor can he destroy the earth.He was just a mortal, a cowardly, courageless, ordinary boy who turned gray.

The only movement he could hear was the quarrel between Zhong Ning's family.Arguing, arguing, Zhong Pei yelling madly, Yan Huiwan crying.

He secretly stuck to the wall to listen.But he couldn't hear these very clearly. He hoped to catch Zhong Ning's voice, but he couldn't find it.It was like trying to catch a transparent bubble in the chaotic black water. The moment he stretched out his hand, the bubble shattered.

He could imagine Zhong Ning's attitude.It was because of Zhong Ning's attitude that Yan Huiwan shed tears and Zhong Pei went crazy.

The more you imagine, the more desperate you become.The more desperate, the more imaginative.

Until three days later, Xiao Huan sneaked into Zhang Weilan's room furtively, and gave Zhang Weilan the things in her little hand.

Zhang Weilan raised his eyelids to look, and what Xiao Huan stuffed him was a note.

His appetite has been extremely poor these days, and his sleep quality cannot be improved.He stayed in bed until midnight every night, then passed out exhausted, and would wake up sweating before dawn.

Coupled with the burden of the exam, Zhang Weilan lost a lot of weight in just a few days.

"What is this?" Zhang Weilan asked Xiaohuan.

"Look." Xiao Huan said.She stared at her brother cautiously, her big eyes flickering, as if looking forward to it.

Zhang Weilan opened the note, only glanced at it, then shivered all over, and squeezed the note tightly in his hand.

Those are Zhong Ning's words.It's crooked and ugly.It's Zhong Ning's handwriting, he can recognize it.

Zhong Ning wrote to him: "I'm fine, don't worry, give me a good exam"

At this moment he wanted to cry.

"Life-saving straw" is an abstract metaphor.But Zhang Weilan saw the true appearance of this "straw" this time.It is a brittle, thin paper that wrinkles when pinched.

Zhang Weilan's eye sockets hurt, and he knew his eyes must be red, but he still stared at the note, the thirteen ugly characters, and the two incomplete punctuation marks.

How could he be willing to miss half a second.

"Brother." Xiao Huan said beside him, "Brother Zhong Ning said that he wants you to concentrate on the exam. He said..."

Xiao Huan pursed her lips, and moved closer to Zhang Weilan.

Zhang Weilan looked at the note for a while, then raised her red eyes, and asked Xiao Huan in a low voice, "Did you see him? Is he okay? What did he say?"

"He said he was fine. He also said..." Xiao Huan looked at Zhang Weilan quietly, and suddenly grinned, "He also said that if you don't study hard, eat and sleep well, I will beat you up you."

Zhang Weilan was taken aback.The next second, he suddenly smiled, which made his eyes wet.

Xiao Huan reached out and rubbed the corners of Zhang Weilan's eyes, her fingertips were wet.

"This idiot, let you beat me? You can't beat me." Zhang Weilan whispered.

"That's what I said too." Xiao Huan said, "But Brother Zhong Ning said, as long as I say he told me to hit me, you won't fight back, let alone get angry."

Zhang Weilan turned her face and stared at Xiao Huan for a while, raised her arm, and put her hand on Xiao Huan's head: "Well, no."

Xiao Huan didn't respond.She's just kind of sad.

Zhang Weilan asked again: "How did you meet him?"

"The grandma I was looking for." Xiao Huan said, "I told my grandma that I wanted to see Brother Zhong Ning. After I told my grandma many times, my grandma let me in."

Zhang Weilan rubbed Xiaohuan's hair repeatedly with her palm, and said after a long silence, "Thank you."
