Chapter 20 Coward An An was able to move on the bed, but she was unwilling to say a word and just kept staring at the scenery outside the window. There is no warm sunshine now, the season when ivy flourishes has long passed, and the cold wind is blowing. The man took a few mouthfuls of food and began to rummage through boxes and cabinets to find money. When he found it, he took the wine barrel and went out to get some wine. Shen Dinghai looked at it and sighed, "The conditions of An An's family are much worse than before. My stepfather only eats and does not do anything. If this goes on for a long time," Ran Ran understood what he meant. With the little money An An's mother worked day and night, she couldn't support a family of three. In the small house, her mother brought the warm meal she had specially left in front of An An, who ate it without saying a word. An An also knows what Ran Ran understands. She can feel from the food she eats every day that her family's conditions are getting worse day by day. Even if what her mother left for her was already the best part of the dish. She finished eating quickly, then turned to look out the window without even looking at her mother.
When her mother came over to take away the empty dishes on the small table, An An suddenly grabbed her mother's slender wrist. "Mom, we have to leave him." Mom's body froze, she didn't respond to An An, and still put away the dishes in silence. An An's eyes widened with disbelief, "You don't want to?" "He saved my life, but we have given him enough back! Mom, we have to leave him!" Her mother's body trembled imperceptibly, and her ears rang with the whispers of the man lying next to her ear countless times late at night. "If you dare to run away with the little bitch, I will find you to the end of the world." Mom shook her head, hiding the tears in her eyes. An An threw the dishes to the ground, and she screamed, "Coward!" "You are a coward! If I am beaten to death by him, it will be because of you! It is all because of you, a coward!" Shen Dinghai felt suffocated when he heard this. He murmured in a low voice, almost to himself, "An An can't say that she is the mother who loves her the most." An An was hysterical, her whole body filled with anger and despair that didn't belong to a child. Mother trembled and knelt down, picking up the broken dishes bit by bit. She was completely unaware of the sharp cuts that cut into the skin's texture. Shen Dinghai was speechless and there was nothing he could do. Ran Ran held his big hand with her small hand and said, "Second nephew, this is the fault of the wicked." The tender voice of a child has the power to calm people's hearts. After listening to it, Shen Dinghai felt that the energy and blood rushing to his brain gradually calmed down. But the scene changed and my mother committed suicide in the house. A rope made of torn clothes hung from the top, a long and colorful one. My mother's face was not ferocious, but it could not be said to be safe. Her frozen eyebrows were stained with sadness, and the wind from the window blew in and blew the note from her hand.
Written on the pure white paper were the words Wai Wai Nai Nai Nai: Sorry, An An, mom is a coward. On the first day when An An regained her freedom of movement, this was what she saw when she returned home. There was no aroma of food in the small room, only the corners of my mother's clothes swaying when the cold wind blew. An An's mother died in the winter when she called her a coward. Her body was covered with bruises and bruises that had never healed. After losing her mother's protection, An An gradually understood that it is easy to attract a bad person. Indulgence, beauty, money, and violence can easily attract dark evil people, but getting rid of evil people is as difficult as climbing to the sky. What's more, she is just a child without power. Without someone to serve him at home, he became more and more irritable, and all his anger was absorbed by a small body. Low-quality wooden floors had long been spread all over the floor, and they would creak when stepped on. The man kept picking up some unwanted sponge mats from the trash. With the cover of these two things, the man would even beat An An out of the room. An entire floor, with nowhere to escape. Her screams were heart-shaking, but no one was willing to open the door. Shen Dinghai's blood surged, "No one feels noisy now?!" The man banged An An's head against the iron door of 403, making a loud noise. An An tried her best to crawl towards the stairs, and the man walked slowly behind her, his body swaying after drinking. The door of 403 was secretly opened a crack by the little boy. Before his curious eyes could glance in An An's direction, the door was closed by an adult. The sound of words was isolated by the iron door, and Shen Dinghai could vaguely hear: "The man's wife was beaten to death by his daughter, and he is angry and angry. The girl drags a bottle of oil, and she looks upset. If it were me, I would beat her every day!" "You are not allowed to read anymore and go do your homework! Otherwise, the teacher will tell you that you will cry again!" A door is like a gap between two worlds. Shen Dinghai is shocked by the huge difference between the world inside and outside. He could already foresee the subsequent development, not to mention that the tragic ending had already been written. An An's body was always filled with new injuries that had not yet healed, and new injuries were added to her body. Her body was getting weaker day by day. In the end, An An died on a cold windy night. She didn't even have time to see the green ivy of the coming year waving to her from the window. The man said he didn’t know where An An went, but he probably committed suicide like her mother. The neighbors sympathized with him, and when he encountered such an unlucky mother and daughter, they didn't want to live and bring trouble to others. Only the man knew where An An's body was. He stuffed her into a small box. The body of the dead will become stiff after a while. After the man rummaged through the boxes and found a box that could fit An An, her body had become rigid. It took a lot of effort for the man to push her in. He was going to wait for the right time to take her out and throw her away. But he didn't know that An An's soul had not dissipated, but had been lingering in the room, watching everything he did. The longer An An looked at the man, the more resentment she felt in her heart, and she became stronger and stronger as a result.
It didn't take long for her to gain some power, which she used to act like a ghost and frighten men. The man couldn't sleep day and night. He was going crazy, so he spent all his savings to find a master and begged him to save him. The man said that he had been doing good deeds throughout his life, but he was haunted by an evil spirit who always threatened him when he dreamed back at midnight. The master cast a spell to make him speak the truth. The man looked horrified, but the master promised to save him. The master followed the man to his home and said calmly: "I can save you, but you have to pay me a reward." The man looked embarrassed and said, "Master, can you please do me a favor? I have spent all my money trying to get information about you, and I cannot afford to pay you now." The master pointed to the cabinet, "You only need to hand over the box in the cabinet to me, and I will protect your life." (End of this chapter)
