The Old Enemy is White Moonlight - Chapter 21
Bian Qian is afraid of being locked in a closed space, afraid of the dark.
This matter starts very early.
When she was young, she was disobedient, and although her academic performance was among the top in the class, she was never able to meet Xu Sheng’s satisfaction.
She remembered that Xu Sheng only went to her parents’ meeting once, in the fifth grade. Parents sit on the child’s seat, and the child’s seat is arranged by the teacher. The two sit together, and the one with the shallow edge gets the first place in the test.
Xu Sheng was in a good mood that day, with good-looking makeup and a red suit, standing among a group of parents was particularly eye-catching.
Bian Qian remembered very clearly that Xu Sheng pulled her all the way and sat down in her place. The parent of the boy next door was also a mother, and she was dressed relatively plainly. Both the certificate and the prize were placed on the table, and when Bian Qian saw Xu Sheng pick up her certificate to look at it, the corners of her lipsticked mouth slightly raised.
Because Xu Sheng didn’t smile much and his whole face was always serious, so Bian Qian remembered this smile for a long time. During the parent-teacher meeting, the children could only watch from outside, and Bian Qian obediently stood outside the window with the other children, waiting for the class teacher to come in.
The head teacher is a middle-aged male teacher, unmarried, and heard from other children that he divorced once, and the child was taken away by his wife. She doesn’t pay much attention to these things, but their class teacher is very kind to the girls in the get out of class, and helps them with homework after class.
The class monitor is a girl. Bian Qian remembers that once the class teacher asked her to go to the office to help with homework. She had diarrhea that day, so she went to the toilet first after class, and took a few minutes before going to the office with her books.
It just so happened that the monitor had just come out of the office, closed the door, glanced hastily, Bian Qian saw that the monitor’s eyes were red, and ran back to the class clutching his school uniform.
Bian Qian was a little puzzled, but she was not familiar with the children in the class. This school will change classes every half term, according to the ranking of the major exams. She has a slow temper, and some people have said that she is stable, and she doesn’t get along well with other children’s out-of-the-box thinking. Gradually, no one wants to play games with her.
Pushing open the door, the head teacher was drinking water, and when he saw her, he smiled and waved:
“Xiao Bianqian, come and sit with the teacher.”
Bian Qian didn’t like to get too close to people, so she didn’t go near the class teacher, but stood far away at the desk.
The teacher didn’t care too much, sighed:
“Bian Qian, what will you do with your temper in the future, you have such a pretty little face, you should smile more.”
Bian Qian felt that the head teacher was a gentleman when he was teaching and educating people while standing on the podium, but when he sat in the office, his words and deeds were very strange.
The teacher glanced at her homework, but didn’t pay much attention. When class was approaching, a female teacher opened the door, saw Bian Qian, and frowned at the head teacher:
“Mr. Xia, why did you ask the girl to come to the office?”
“Her homework is not finished. Bian Qian, you go back, class is about to begin.”
She clearly wrote it all right.
Bian Qian remained silent, took her notebook, turned around and trotted back to work.
Parents arrived one after another. The class teacher was dressed in formal attire, walked to the podium with lesson plans and report cards in his arms, and said some old-fashioned words.
Under the podium, Bian Qian saw Xu Sheng chatting with the boy’s mother next door, her voice was very low, and Bian Qian couldn’t hear what they were talking about when she walked to the window, maybe she felt the temptation to approach, Xu Sheng He raised his head suddenly and looked straight at Bian Qian.
Bian Qian was taken aback by Xu Sheng’s gaze, fortunately, that gaze stayed for about 5 seconds before retracting, and talked with the boy’s mother again.
The head teacher said that you can’t whisper in class.
But Bian Qian doesn’t like the head teacher very much, so she might as well not remind her mother.
After the parent-teacher meeting was over, the head teacher asked the parents of the top ten students in the class to stay. Xu Sheng dragged Bian Qian straight out of the school, not even taking the certificates and award notebooks on the table.
“Mom, my award…”
“To shut up.”
Bian Qian lowered her head aggrievedly, sat on the back seat and crawled forward, trying to touch Xu Sheng through the seat.
Xu Sheng is very thin, but looking at it shallowly, he feels that this back is like a wing that is about to fly.
“Does your head teacher often call you to the office?”
“Not often, not as often as other girls.”
“What do you do in the office?”
“Tutoring homework.”
“anything else?”
“He would…touch my face and shoulders, but then I stopped standing next to him and he didn’t call me that much. But he always looked at me.”
Xu Sheng didn’t speak, and kept driving her home, his face pale and sad.
Bian Qian didn’t know how she could look sad, because the **** the other side of the window always had the same expression as Xu Sheng now.
The **** the other side of the window told Bian Qian:
“If you see me like this, come and hug me, you hear me?”
Xu Sheng used the key to unlock the lock, his hands trembling slightly, Bian Qian hugged Xu Sheng.
But Xu Sheng pushed her away in the next second, his eyes full of disgust.
Xu Sheng pulled her into the room, turned on the TV, and the channel read about self-protection strategies for teenagers. Bian Qian was pressed **** the seat in front of the TV. Xu Sheng walked out on high heels, and said angrily before locking the door from the outside :
“I’ve never seen a child as stupid as you, who doesn’t understand anything!”
“Boom!”
The iron gate was closed tightly and locked.
Xu Sheng came to this Tongzilou because he was accompanying him as a student, and Bian Qian was the only one here most of the time.
What was being said on TV?
Talk about the physiological differences and structures of boys and girls, and talk about the places where children should learn to protect themselves and not be touched.
The TV played back and forth over and over again, and the 50-minute program looped endlessly. Bian Qian went from dawn to dark, and Xu Sheng never came back.
In the dark, she couldn’t find her mother, her teacher, her classmates, or anyone she could trust.
She could only hug herself, and gradually got used to it.
The switch in the yard was turned off by the boys on the first floor, and they even ran to Bian Qian’s house to demonstrate:
“Her mother said she was stupid hahaha!”
“No one wants it!”
It was getting dark, and Bian Qian heard the voices of children and adults upstairs and downstairs.
But the room was eerily quiet.
The eyes are full of blackness that can’t be seen.
She suddenly thought of the night light that was lit in the window that day.
That girl is always locked up by her family to practice piano in the piano room.
Is this the same feeling?
Bian Qian decided to ask the star after going out.
She was not so afraid of the dark at this time, it was just an instinctive fear of things beyond her control.
The most important thing happened in the third day of junior high school, the day Liang Youchen jumped into the river.
Bian Qian has not attended class for two days, no one asked her whereabouts, no one found her locked in the equipment room of the old stadium.
She learned to be smarter this time, and put a pair of scissors in her bag. When the group of people bullied her, she held the scissors to her chest. The group of people were afraid, so they gave up dealing with her and locked the door of the equipment room superior.
She felt that her chest was bleeding continuously, but not much. Two days passed, and the blood dried up on the badge of the school uniform.
“Ash! Ash!”
It was Liang Youchen’s voice.
The door was easily pushed open by Liang Youchen, and when Bian Qian opened his eyes, he felt that the sunlight coming in from outside was too glaring, and even the face looking at Liang Youchen was blurred.
“Ah Qian, are those people bullying you again? Why are they so bad!”
When Bian Qian saw Liang Youchen coming in, he actually resisted a little. Before she was locked in, those people aimed at Liang Youchen, Liang Youchen was so kind to her, she couldn’t hurt this girl.
“Your chest is bleeding!”
Bian Qian’s sense of restraint was a little fuzzy at the time, and she always felt that the tone of her words seemed to have no regrets, so she looked at Liang Youchen’s face, the corners of her lips curled up, as if smiling, but also as if regretting.
“Ah Qian, come out with me, those people are gone, don’t be afraid.”
Bian Qian pushed away the people who came over.
“Youchen, go home and avoid them.”
“I don’t want to go home. It’s not like you don’t know that my parents hate me. They want to kill me. Ah Qian, are you abandoning me too?”
“No…”
“Then come with me. I have clothes and snacks in my bag, several bank cards in my pocket, and I know the password. Let’s run away quickly, so we can stay away from this place!”
Paranoid and ruthless emotions flashed in Liang Youchen’s eyes, and he talked excitedly about his escape plan. Bian Qian looked at her helplessly.
Liang Youchen said that when he was at home, he was always beaten by his parents, and he was bullied by these people when he came to school. He had already had enough of this kind of torture.
Bian Qian and Liang Youchen left.
She changed into the clothes Liang Youchen brought, put on a mask, and the two of them got on the bus outside the school together.
Bian Qian asked:
“where are we going?”
“Where do you want to go? Ah Qian, I can accompany you wherever you want to go.”
“Then stay away from here, the farther the better.”
“Okay, Ah Qian.”
This was the beginning of that nightmare.
Bian Qian hadn’t been out of school very often, she didn’t know where this car ended up and where it passed.
Her only reliance is Liang Youchen.
“Happiness Park is here, dear traveler…”
Liang Youchen pulled her in a panic, squeezed through the crowd and got off the car:
“They are chasing us, we have to change our route.”
Liang Youchen dragged her away for a long time, Bian Qian’s legs seemed to be stepping on cotton.
“Ash, how is your injury?”
“pain.”
“You hold on for a while, and when we escape, I’ll take you to the hospital, and I’ll carry you on my back, otherwise?”
“I can.”
“Okay, just hold on, we must not be caught by them, or it will be over. When we leave, I will take you to the best city, the most comfortable house, and we will live a good life and don’t have to care about these anymore Something happened!”
Hearing these promises, Bian Qian laughed.
“Ah Qian, I’m not kidding! I can do what I say!”
“…it is good.”
After crossing the remote road and walking into the woods, Bian Qian lost all strength and passed out.
When she woke up, there was no Liang Youchen by her side.
Dirty and dilapidated monitoring room, the corner table was full of dust and cobwebs, her hands and feet were tied with thick ropes, and her mouth was covered with tape.
The air was filled with the smell of disrepair, and it took Bian Qian a long time to wake up. She felt that the wound on her chest should have festered, and she was dizzy.
Almost damaged computers were placed on the rotten tables. The computer screens were lit with black and white images, and some of them were malfunctioning. Gray and white lines jumped around, making people dizzy.
The good screen shows the scene outside. This is an abandoned factory. The camera should be on the wall at the edge of the factory. There is a river there. Liang Youchen is standing by the river, opposite to the group of people.
There must have been some dispute between them, Liang Youchen threw the backpack he carefully prepared at a girl in the crowd, and then jumped into the river from the high embankment without the slightest bit of nostalgia.
Bian Qian desperately moved herself in front of the screen, staring at the image on the screen with wide eyes.
don’t want!
don’t want…
Splashes appeared on the surface of the lake, and Liang Youchen disappeared quickly like a fish that finally returned to the bottom of the sea.
Bian Qian squatted on the ground stiffly, without moving for a long time.
After a long time, a voice came from outside the door:
“Why is she thinking of running away, pretending to be a good student can’t continue? Isn’t it fun to be with us?”
“That’s right, who told her to betray us and even wanted to escape, Sister Yan asked us to capture her alive, what should we do now?”
“If you jump, you jump. Isn’t there another one in the room? Just blame her. I hate her anyway. It doesn’t matter if there is another crime.”
“Woo…”
Bian Qian wanted to cry and roar, but the seal on her lips sealed not only her anger, but also her grief and despair for everything and people.
She can’t do anything.
Nothing can be protected.
No one loved her, and the only person who was close to her died and left under her gaze.
There is only a dull and empty soul left, lingering in this world.
It is really no different from the monsters in other people’s population.
