crime of blindness

The little Zhao that Bai Yu went to meet in Zhi County was named Zhao Liming, 18 years old, serving his sentence in Zhi County Prison.

"Brother!" Through the glass wall, Zhao Liming smiled at Bai Yu, his eyes lit up, and he was very happy.

This is a skinny boy, just 1 meters tall, a little dark, his hands are very rough and ugly due to rough work all year round.

Bai Yu asked, "How is this year?"

Zhao Liming touched the back of his head shyly, "It's okay. Brother, come to see me, are you not doing business?"

Bai Yu laughed and said, "You're still worrying about it."

They were talking about trivial matters, and it seemed that the prison visits could only talk about trivial matters.People outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out. No matter how close they were in the past, they have to be careful when they reach this point.

Besides, Bai Yu and Zhao Liming were neither relatives nor relatives, they didn't have that level of intimacy.

Ning An is a person who runs after inspiration.During the seven years with Ning An, Bai Yu often accompanied him to remote towns and desolate no-man's land.

Zhixian was not their destination. They drove that year and planned to go to Yinglugou, west of Zhixian.

But when passing through Zhi County, Ning An was attracted by the rice fields and terroir here, so he temporarily changed his plan and found a farmer's house to live in.

Zhao Liming's house is next door.

At that time Zhao Liming was thinner and shorter than now, and Bai Yu often saw him carrying a mountain-like weight on his back.

Give him something to eat, and he gobbles it up like he's been hungry for days.

There were sounds of beating, scolding and crying several times in Zhao's house, especially at night.

Zhao Liming's body was bruised and purple, and his eyes were swollen like two walnuts.

Bai Yu asked him what was wrong, but he just cried and refused to say anything.

After staying in the county for a long time, Bai Yu learned that Zhao Liming's father, Zhao Xiong, gambled and drank heavily, and beat his wife and son at home whenever he had nothing to do.

But this is a housework again, no one can control it.

Bai Yu wanted to take care of it, but Zhao Liming refused, saying that he could bear it until he became an adult, so he took his mother away.

Later, when Zhao Liming was beaten into the hospital by Zhao Xiong, Bai Yu finally couldn't hold back and warned Zhao Xiong.

Zhao Xiong was in the county, but he was afraid of the well-dressed outsiders, so he nodded and bowed, promising not to beat anyone again.

Zhao Liming had a very relaxed life at that time. After finishing work, he followed Bai Yu and liked to read scripts written by Bai Yu.

At that time, Bai Yu hadn't opened the "crime of blindness", but a dozen stories had already been prepared.

Zhao Liming said: "Brother, can you write a script for me too? Just write about me escaping from this small county."

Bai Yu asked, "Do you want to be a prototype?"

"Well, I can't escape now, but one day I will leave here." Zhao Liming smiled honestly, "I want to take my mother to live a good life."

Bai Yu agreed, and left him his contact information before leaving, saying that when the script is finished and the store opens, he will be invited to play.

Bai Yu has always regretted this matter.

Back in Zhi County, he stopped Zhao Xiong, and when he left, he knew that once he left, Zhao Liming would be beaten again.

In fact, he had the ability to take Zhao Liming away, but he didn't do so.

A few months later, a call came from Zhixian, but it was not Zhao Liming.

The police said that Zhao Liming killed Zhao Xiong.

The case was actually very simple. After Bai Yu and Ning An left, Zhao Xiong reverted to his old ways, beat his wife and children more brutally than before, and used all the money in the family to gamble, losing a fortune.

Zhao Liming's mother hid a sum of money to study for Zhao Liming.When Zhao Xiong returned drunk, he found the money and slashed at his wife with a knife.

Zhao Liming was still working in the field at that time, and when he heard the call for help, he rushed back in embarrassment. What he saw was his mother who was motionless in a pool of blood.

Years of hatred broke out at this moment, he lost his mind and killed Zhao Xiong.

When Bai Yu went to see Zhao Liming for the first time, Zhao Liming said that what he regretted the most was not taking his mother to leave earlier.

Bai Yu felt sour in his heart.

When Zhao Liming asked about the script, Bai Yu said that he had finished more than half of it, and showed him another card.

"I will store all the income from this script in this card. You can reform it and come out to live again."

Zhao Liming wiped away his tears and said in a trembling voice, "Brother, thank you."

Knowing this, Zhan Meng often praised Baiyu for his kindness.

Bai Yu himself didn't feel anything, but regretted it.

Zhao Liming fell in love with him. If he had taken Zhao Liming away, or asked his family to help him clear up local relations, Zhao Liming would not have come to this point.

He's not really kind, he's just making up for the regret in his heart, so that when he thinks about it, he can feel better.

I haven't seen him for a year, and Zhao Liming is much more optimistic than last year, talking about a lot of positive reforms.

It was almost time, and when Bai Yu was about to leave, Zhao Liming asked hesitantly, "Brother, why didn't Brother Ning An come?"

Last year, Ning An came with Bai Yu.Zhao Liming knew that they were a couple.

"We broke up." Bai Yu didn't need to say it so directly, but he couldn't explain why, so he wanted to throw the thorn out so brightly.

Zhao Liming groaned, and after a while he said, "I'm sorry, brother, I shouldn't have asked."

"It's none of your business." Bai Yu's tone was very quiet, as if he didn't care much, "Let's go, I'll see you again next year."

After coming out of the prison, Bai Yu realized that the weather had changed.

When we set off from Huicheng in the morning, it looked like a sunny day. Zhixian was in the mountains, and the temperature was lower than that of Huicheng.

There was still some sunshine when I parked, but now it's completely overcast.

Bai Yu checked the weather while smoking a cigarette beside the car. It was going to snow in Zhi County.

Snow in the mountains is the most troublesome. If it snows heavily, traffic control will be imposed.

Bai Yu didn't want to waste a day in the mountains, lighting up and leaving after smoking.

The snow came faster than expected, and soon after the car drove out of Zhixian, the sky was completely white.

The mountain roads around Zhixian County are not easy to drive, and it is even more difficult to drive in rainy and snowy weather. Even a good off-road vehicle can only move at a slow speed.

Along the way, Bai Yu had already seen two broken-down cars.

One was an ordinary commercial vehicle, turned off and parked on the side of the road, and the other was off-road, rolled into a shallow ditch, and the front of the car was smashed to pieces. Everyone was fine and was waiting for rescue.

Bai Yu had to slow down even more.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was already dark as usual at 7 o'clock, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier.

Bai Yu glanced at the navigation, thinking that he might not be able to make it back tonight, and he would probably receive a traffic control notice soon.

There is a county near here, which is smaller than Zhixian County. If it is not possible, we can only find a hotel there to make do for one night.

Bai Yu continued to drive forward, and saw another car parked by the side of the road in the distance.

But the way the car stopped was a bit strange. When it got closer, Bai Yu realized that it was not stopping, it hit the bumper barrier.

Looking at the license plate number, it turned out to be Huicheng's car.Bai Yu approached slowly, thinking of going out, and the weather was so bad that it could kill someone at any time, so he would help if he could, but when he lowered the car window, he saw a familiar face.

"Teacher Shen?"

Sitting in the car was Shen Ji.

Astonishment flashed across Shen Ji's eyes, obviously he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here, and his voice was tense, "Bai, Boss."

Bai Yu inadvertently raised the end of his eyes.

What surprised him even more than meeting Shen Ji here was that Shen Ji at this time was quite different from the one that appeared in his workshop.

That day, Shen Ji was carefully armed with even a strand of hair, exuding false sophistication and exaggeration all over his body, speaking condescendingly and aggressively, making people easily think of the unruly devil in the workplace.

Later, Bai Yu thought about it again, and felt that the Demon King was not too accurate, at least the Demon King had abundant emotions, while Shen Ji was cold and mechanical, more like an artificial intelligence in a gorgeous skin.

Now Shen Ji is sitting in the driver's seat, wearing a bean white turtleneck sweater, those exaggerated edges and corners are gone, his face is probably flushed from anxiety, his eyes are full of tension and surprise, his hair is just plain It has been combed but not styled. It is limp and curled up messily with a poke.

Artificial intelligence seems to suddenly become a real person.

Shen Ji didn't know that he suddenly became vivid in Bai Yu's eyes.

He suppressed his panic and tried his best to appear calm, but just as he was about to put on a face in the workplace, he realized that he was wearing a sweater, long cotton trousers, down jacket, and sneakers today.

He hadn't worn it like this for a long time. Before going to bed last night, he prepared the suit and coat he was going to wear today, but when he got up in the morning, he hesitated for a few minutes and found all the thick clothes that his adoptive mother sent last month.

Today I went to see Shen Xiang.

That is a person who knows all his embarrassment, meanness, abjection, and ugliness, and he doesn't have to dress himself up so "upper".

When he visited the prison a few years ago, he wore a handmade suit.

Shen Xiang stared at him for a long time, showing his dirty teeth, laughing and cursing.

"Xiaoji, we have the same blood on our bodies! Why are you so lucky? You came here dressed like this to provoke me? What are you proud of? Don't think that if you changed your name, you are not from our Shen family." !"

When putting on the sweater and down jacket, Shen Ji felt very warm.

He looked at himself in the mirror, pressed his fingers against the corners of his lips, and pulled them upwards.

Changing clothes has nothing to do with Shen Xiang, the adoptive mother is concerned about him, worried that he is not in good health and will get sick in this weather.

He shouldn't refuse the foster mother's kindness.

Every year when meeting Shen Xiang, Shen Ji has a hard time.

That is not to visit a loved one, but to face the sin and hatred that cannot be shaken off.

Shen Xiang caught a cold in prison, coughing non-stop, his cheeks were sunken, and he coughed like he wanted to spit out his lungs before he could say a few words.

Shen Xiang deliberately wanted him to see himself like this, and laughed hoarsely: "How many years do you think I can live?"

He stared at the saliva on the glass, and frowned, "You just have a cold, get an injection, and you'll be fine soon."

"Okay?" Shen Xiang's eyes were gloomy and dry, "That's right, you are most afraid of my death."

When others came to visit the prison, they took the time to talk, but Shen Ji just sat and listened to Shen Xiang's ramblings.

"Your sweater looks warm." When the time came, Shen Xiang finally said, "You are living a good life now."

When Shen Ji was driving, what came to mind was Shen Xiang's tone and expression when he said "good day".

Sarcasm, jealousy, contempt, and even a trace of peace of mind.

Shen Ji shook his head, only thought it was an illusion.

After driving like this for a while, the snow began to fall ahead, and it was getting bigger and bigger.

He slowed down, a little worried.

He doesn't often drive by himself. When he needed to go out in the past, he was driven by the driver of his adoptive parents' house. He usually works, and the driver is an assistant or a full-time driver.

Sometimes the more careful you are, the more accidents are likely to happen.It wasn't a difficult curve ahead, but he bumped into it directly.

I got out of the car to take pictures, and when I got back to the driver's seat, I found that the car wouldn't start.

For a moment, his mind went blank.

On a snowy day, in the wilderness, the car broke down, and it would be dark soon.

Reason told him that he must call for help immediately, but he held his mobile phone and did not make a call for a long time.

Today he is not the usual sinking halberd, with no armor and no weapons.If possible, he didn't want anyone who knew him to witness his embarrassment.

But at this moment, a beam of headlights came from behind, and Bai Yu—the young man who had been troubled by him—appeared in front of him, called him Teacher Shen, and asked him why he was here.

He stared at Bai Yu and opened his mouth in surprise.

He wanted to cooperate with "Blind Crime" in the future, and after the breakup, he looked at Bai Yu's information again.

Bai Yu is only three years younger than him, and is 25 this year. He said that Bai Yu is young, but it is not appropriate.

Bai Yu got out of the car and walked towards him. When he was standing by his car door, he suddenly felt that Bai Yu was very tall.

In the workshop, Bai Yu was dressed too casually. Now she was wearing a gray leather jacket and a pair of short boots. She looked more stable than the last time she saw her.

"Why are you here?" Shen Ji threw the question back.

"To see a friend." Bai Yu said while checking, "Your car broke down."

Shen Ji knew that the car was broken down, but after hearing Bai Yu's words, his heart was still tight.

Bai Yu opened the door of the driver's seat, Shen Ji froze.

"You still want to spend the night here?" Bai Yu laughed casually, and raised his chin towards his car, "Traffic control is imminent, and I definitely won't be able to go back tonight. Go to my car and take you to the county to fill in abdomen."

The author says:

A few hundred words at the beginning of this chapter were added to the end of the previous chapter.The reason for changing the name is that the original name "Qiang De Yi Sheng" looks like a funny article, but in fact it is a goofy article, and the small gray characters have also been changed to make it more intuitive.
