Tao Yueyue curled up on the cold hard concrete floor. The storage room was empty. There was a drain under the window to go to the toilet. After using it several times, the smell of urine filled the room.
She organized her thoughts. The police probably started investigating the little boy who was killed in the community last night. I don’t know if the neighbor will tell the police the message she left, but she can’t pin all her hopes on it. .
You must leave a message to Chen Shi in your thoughts, how do you leave it, text
If Zhou Xiao finds out that the trust that she has finally built up falls apart, she will truly become a prisoner.
The message must be difficult to find, even if it is found, it will not be recognized.
She has never learned Morse code. If it is another form of code word, she and Chen Shi must have the same code reference, a dictionary, and a book. She remembered the only book she brought when she ran away from home— "Time machine".
Regrettably, that book has been lost. Zhou Xiao is unlikely to buy a book for her. It is unrealistic to use this book as a code reference.
Tao Yueyue clenched her fists sadly, let alone a message, she didn't even have a pen or a piece of paper.
She sat up and walked around the room, a gleam of light coming through the crack in the door indicated that it was about to get dark.
The bottle of tap water Zhou Xiao had filled her had been drunk. After drinking the raw water, Tao Yueyue’s stomach was always aching like a lump of lead, and what was even more unbearable was hunger. She thought that school was over at this time. , She will eat delicious food with "Miso", grilled meat rice bowl, fried rice noodles, fried pumpkin pie, stinky tofu, jelly...
Thinking of this, her saliva flowed down and her eyes became sour. Tao Yueyue immediately restrained the weak attack and kicked the wall with her shoes. She must remain sober, angry, and strong.
Chen Shi said that the human heart is not strong at all. Hunger, control, and corporal punishment can make a person gradually let go of his dignity and principles. Whether he is a strong-willed man or a coward, as long as he has been immersed in such an environment, It is only a matter of time before yielding.
Tao Yueyue’s inner weakness is quietly growing. She is now helpless. Zhou Xiao, who controls her life and death, has become the only person she can rely on. If this weakness develops, her inner defense mechanism will work. , Let her have an intimate feeling for Zhou Xiao.
She is like a person who stumbled on a cliff. She climbed the edge of the cliff with her fingers, struggling to support and helpless, and the vast abyss behind her was tempting her. As long as she let go of her hand and did not persist, the pain would be over.
Be strong, be strong!
Tao Yueyue sat cross-legged and started meditating according to Gu You's method, carefully counting her breath, holding all thoughts away, and suggesting to herself-"I will definitely escape! I will definitely escape!"
The inner clarity brought by meditation allowed Tao Yueyue to gradually relax, and her body was no longer restless. Gu You said to her that people cannot do without faith. Belief can be a god, a opposite sex, a TV series, a A book, a house, even money.
Think about it when you are in the most painful time. When you have overcome these pains, you will have to do something. Only when you look ahead will you have a direction.
Tao Yueyue imagined that when she leaves here, she will go to Gu You to play, and in the summer after the entrance examination, she will go to her counseling room as a volunteer; or carry a bag with "Miso" and travel together; or let Chen Shijiao She drove, she can’t get a driver’s license now, but she can drive to places where no one else is...
With the sound of footsteps, Tao Yueyue opened her eyes and the door opened.
The dazzling light flooded in from outside, and Zhou Xiaoni was in the light, beckoning her to come out.
Under a swaying incandescent lamp, food was on the table. Zhou Xiao looked tired. His sweat-drenched hair was attached to his forehead, and the shirt collar was stained with blood. He leaned his head towards the table and said, "Eat!"
Tao Yueyue grabbed the braised duck and noodles in the bag, gobbled it up, then unscrewed the coke and took a big gulp. The sudden rise in blood sugar levels excited her whole body and ate harder.
"Don't eat too much, there are still things to do after eating." Zhou Xiao exhorted.
Tao Yueyue nodded, "Uncle Zhou, did you kill that person?"
"Almost." Zhou Xiao put on a cigarette.
"I'm stuffed."
Zhou Xiao pinched the cigarette butts and put all the food back into the bag, including the cigarette butts he had smoked, and threw it into the bag. He tightened the mouth of the bag. He took out a switchblade and stuffed it into Tao Yueyue's hand to teach her how to use it. .
"... This is called a backhand grip, this is called a forehand grip, and it's usually a backhand... Pay attention to holding it with your thumb and clenching your fist, otherwise you may cut yourself..."
After teaching this, Zhou Xiao stepped back and hooked his finger: "Prick me."
Tao Yueyue stabbed him with the few tricks she just taught. Of course, she moved very slowly. Zhou Xiao easily pulled her wrist away and applauded: "You learned very fast, Tao Yueyue, do you know why I want to teach you this? "
"Let me out!!!" a man yelled from the darkness.
Zhou Xiao turned his head and glanced in the direction from which the call came. At this time, his throat was exposed in front of Tao Yueyue, with a beating vein on it. Tao Yueyue hesitated to seize this opportunity, but finally missed it.
"Are you ready?" Zhou Xiao patted her shoulder and asked gently.
Tao Yueyue nodded timidly, "What if I can't beat him?"
"Don't worry, I've broken one of his legs, so you can treat it like a pig."
Tao Yueyue clenched the dagger tightly, and fear rose from the bottom of her heart. She should have resisted with death, but she couldn't do it. She was afraid of being beaten.
Zhou Xiao patted her on the back, led her to a door, opened it, and there was a man lying in the room, a thin man with green hair, wearing a sleeveless denim jacket with metal studs, he was obviously After cleaning up hard, he cursed feebly: "Zhou Xiao, I'm CNM, my elder brother knows that you have to take your skin off!"
This was the one who sold ecstasy. Zhou Xiao captured him alive and used it as a teaching material for Tao Yueyue.
For a moment, she thought, since she is a bad person, she seems to be able to do it boldly, but her reason warns her to resist quickly. After entering this room, she can't look back! ! !
"Enjoy the first murder experience in your life!" Zhou Xiao pushed, Tao Yueyue entered the house, and then the door closed behind.
Tao Yueyue held the knife in both hands, her gasping voice became heavier and heavier. The person in desperate situation was keen. The man noticed the little girl's timidity and began to instigate rebellion, "Little sister, what is your name? You were also caught by this grandson." Yeah, don’t listen to him. TMD is playing with us. You give the knife to your uncle. Let’s make a concerted effort to escape, okay? The uncle will give you a lot of money."
He crawled over with his broken leg, like a terrible monster in the dark, Tao Yueyue backed away in fright and was forced to a corner.
Zhou Xiao, who was standing outside smoking a cigarette, said nothing...
