Little footprints are left on the little snow.
"I don't want to kill your mother." The thin man let out a white breath, "but she never paid the money she borrowed from me. I knelt down and begged her, but she laughed at me. She pushed it downstairs."
After speaking, he looked down at Wen Yu: "Have you seen all this?"
Wen Yu shook his head at him.
He didn't see anything, and when his mother fell downstairs, his mind went blank and he didn't even notice that there were other people upstairs.
"It's all this time, you don't have to lie to me." The thin man smiled nervously, "If you weren't suspicious, why would you give that packet of candy to the eldest sister to eat, and you won't eat it yourself?"
Since Wen Yu saw her mother's death, she couldn't speak, so she couldn't tell him that although the eldest sister's family treated him badly, he was still very grateful that they were able to take him in, so when he found the package of finely packaged candies, the first One reaction is to share it with them. It's just that the candy was in the hands of the eldest sister, and the eldest sister did not want to share it with him, so she only ate it with her family.
It turned out that they were the only ones with food poisoning, not him.
"I don't want to kill the eldest sister, I didn't want to kill their family." Shouzi muttered to himself, "Did you know that since the day I got the news of their deaths, I haven't had a good night's sleep. , if there is a little bit of trouble at night, I will roll over from the bed, for fear that the police will come and arrest me... "
His life was not easy, and Wen Yu's life was even more difficult.
Under the hype of people with a heart, his reputation as a monster spread completely, and no one dared to adopt him again, only the thin man reluctantly accepted him.
But Wen Yu didn't want to drag the thin man down.
At that time, he really thought he was a monster. Wherever he was, something would happen, and whoever he loved would be unlucky. So he didn't accept the thin man's good intentions, and sneaked on the train with the little things he had, intending to leave here and go anywhere.
"You ran away!" The thin man suddenly slapped Wen Yu's head fiercely, "You actually ran away at this time! Do you know how scared I was at that time, what else could I do? I can only work and don't even have a girlfriend. Don't, run away like a bereaved dog, I'm afraid you will sue me!"
Wen Yu held his head without saying a word. He is a lost dog, so why not? The scenery outside the window is getting more and more unfamiliar. Where is this train heading? Where is he going to get off? Who are you looking for when you get out of the car? A newspaper, a name, an agreement appeared in his mind.
He got out of the car, wrote the name of the Orchid Theater in a notebook, asked along the way, and finally came to the entrance of the theater. Why did he come to her? In fact, he hadn't thought about it at that time. He was even a little scared, afraid that she would drive him away when she saw him...
She came out of the theater, looking gloomy and floating, like a ghost walking in the sun.
"...You came at the wrong time." She smiled at him, "I just attempted to kill, and I'm about to be arrested."
He was stunned. When she was taken away, he chased after her. Then he heard the quarrel between the director and Chen Guanchao, and heard the director accuse her of being an actress with fatal flaws who didn't know how to love at all.
"I've had." She gave a completely withered, lifeless smile. "I've loved..."
At that moment, Wen Yu almost burst into tears.
Because he is the same, what he has had, what he has loved, those who love him, those he loves, all have left him.
"She is as pitiful as me." Wen Yu looked at her and said to herself, "I want to help her."
"It's not good, it's okay, God is on my side, I didn't expect to see you on the street." Shouzi sighed, "I wasn't sure before, but I ran away when I saw you. I know what I look like... you already know all the things I did."
… He ran away because of fear, but not because of him, but because of the past that he represented. But Wen Yu knew that even if he could speak, he wouldn't listen, because since the first murder, he had fallen into a terrifying vicious circle—in order to cover up the first corpse, he began to create more corpses.
The first one who died was Master Cao. Although he was a bit unforgiving, he actually liked Wen Yu very much. Four dishes were not enough, so he went into the kitchen to add more dishes. Wen Yu didn't want to sit alone, so he went to help, but the result was far I saw a figure enter the kitchen, and when I took a closer look, the figure came behind Master Cao and pushed the already drunk Master Cao into the hot oil pan.
The fire started, and the man who killed Master Cao set fire in the kitchen.
Wen Yu was too scared, he ran away and hid where no one could find him, until Ning Ning's figure appeared outside the ruins, he dared to run over and hug her.
He wanted to tell her something, but when he raised his eyes, a circle of people surrounded the ruins. There was a person whose back was so familiar and so close to them. For a moment, he hugged Ning Ning in his arms, and said nothing. Dare to do it.
"I don't want to kill that cook, I just want to create a fire to burn you to death, but think about it carefully, what if he puts out the fire, or what if he runs away with you, let's kill them all ." The thin man's voice was quite helpless, and even had a numb feeling of killing too many people, "But you have a big life, but you still didn't die, and even drew my appearance and showed it to the language teacher."
Wen Yu didn't actually see his face, but only his back. He felt that the back was familiar, but he was a little unsure, so he tried to draw people down, one after another, and then took them. The best and most similar one is shown to his current adopter.
The language teacher was so frightened that the oranges in her hands fell. She looked at Wen Yu with strange eyes: "What is this?"
"It's the bad guy." Wen Yu wrote on the paper, "He pushed it."
That night, the Chinese teacher didn't sleep, turned on the lamp, and kept looking at the painting in the study. Early the next morning, she made him a delicious meal, then stuffed the new pen and book that she had bought for him in her schoolbag, hung it on his body, and took his hand to go out.
That's the way back to the Orchid Theater.
"It's too scary, I'm too old, I don't want to worry about it, and I don't dare to mess with it." The language teacher said to him on the way, "I put the painting in your bag, you can take it back, and you can give it to anyone you think is reliable. Look."
The most reliable person in this world is Ning Ning.
But how dare he show it to Ning Ning
Because the language teacher died, he said that he accidentally fell into the water and drowned, but he knew that it was not that simple, because the thin man appeared, he came to the theater, like a ghost in the theater, wandering outside the theater, while meeting people He said he was a monster, found him privately, and asked him in a low voice, "Apart from the language teacher, who else have you shown your paintings to?"
Wen Yu shook her head and said that she hadn't shown it to anyone.
Not only that, in order to protect other people in the theater, he began to stay in the cellar voluntarily and not come out, and minimize his contact with people as much as possible, lest they be targeted by thin people. The person he should stay away from the most is Ning Ning! But he always couldn't control himself. As soon as he saw her, he couldn't help jumping into her arms, seeking shelter, seeking warmth, seeking her love.
But he couldn't go on like this.
Because the courtesan also died.
"I killed so many people, your mother, the eldest sister, the cook, the language teacher, and finally I killed an actor. Hehe, according to the newspaper, he was still a well-known courtesan." The thin man laughed nervously. " I'm not a murderer, I've killed so many people, but I'm still afraid in the end, so I ran away without disposing of the body, and ended up attracting so many police... Can you blame me? It's not my fault, it's all It's your mother's fault, it's all your fault..."
He took Wen Yu up to a building, then turned to the side to show a sharp knife, the tip of the knife pointed to the front and said, "Jump down, just like your mother."
Wen Yu looked at him, turned around and walked over. The building was so high and the ground was so far away, when looking down, there was a dizzy feeling of being stuck in a swamp.
He wasn't strong enough to face death head-on, and after just one glance, he couldn't help shaking his legs, couldn't help but retreat, couldn't help but start to run away, but he was stopped by the thin man.
"What?" the thin man asked, "regret?"
Wen Yu looked at him, her small body kept shaking.
"I know, I understand, and I regret it too. I shouldn't have killed your mother. How can this be... Why can't it stop after starting?" The thin man shook his lips and said, "I'm sorry. , I don't want to kill you, but I'm really afraid, afraid that you will tell this, these things."
He started crying, and while crying, he used a knife to force Wen Yu upstairs.
With her feet on the edge, Wen Yu looked down at the ground and thought: Is this the last thing my mother saw? Or see me below
Then, he saw her.
She chased the footprints on the snow and ran towards the building like a madman. The night was too dark, and the nearby lights could not illuminate her face. Only the voice came from a distance. Crying, with pain: "Wen Yu!"
Tears welled up in Wen Yu's eyes.
Aren't you going to be in a movie? Aren't you going to play The Phantom? Aren't you going to sing? Your voice is broken, what are you going to do? You are obviously an adult, why don't you know how to take care of yourself at all
"Wen Xiaoning?" The thin man also heard the call of the other party. He looked around and was slightly taken aback, "Why did she chase after him?"
Wen Yu took advantage of his inattention and quickly slipped past his feet, but before taking a few steps, she was grabbed by her hair and dragged back.
"Don't try to run!" The thin man's eyes were red, he dragged Wen Yu and walked towards the eaves step by step.
Wen Yu was like a fish caught by someone. She used all her strength and struggled desperately, but the rooftop was still getting closer and closer to him.
The moonlight shone on his face, he raised his head, opened and closed his mouth in pain, unwillingness, sadness, despair, unable to say a word, only crying in his heart: "I regret it, I don't want to die, At least... At least don't let me die in front of her, I don't want her to see my body, I don't want her to be as sad as I am... "
