[Zhongyingmei] At the end of time

Luna tore off a small strip of beef and chewed it, the smell of fresh meat hit her palate.

She chewed for a long time before swallowing it, hesitated for a moment, put the rest of the meat in the cabinet and put it away for frying at noon tomorrow.

At this moment, Annie walked in together with a tall man in a shirt. He was carrying a black briefcase. He looked refined and refined, exuding an aura that was incompatible with the environment.

Luna turned a blind eye and spread the quilt on the sofa to go to sleep, but Annie suddenly said, "Didn't John's mother invite you to their house? Go to John's house to sleep tonight."

Luna glanced at the man with the handle around Annie's waist, nodded, said nothing, put on a thick coat and went out.

Of course she didn't go to live at John's house. John's father had been coveting Luna for a long time, and Luna had never even stepped into his house.

The phrase to live at John's house is like an unwritten agreement between Luna and Annie, because there will always be some guests who don't like to have children outside when they are having fun, and Annie will hint at Luna to leave at this time.

This kind of situation is rare. Most of Annie's guests are people from the neighborhood. They all know that Annie has a daughter who doesn't like to talk, and they don't care about her existence. Only some guests from other places will be so particular. .

Luna familiarly walked to the back door of the bar that Annie often went to. This kind of bar was open all night. The boss was not surprised to see Luna coming: "Go and wash those dishes, and then you can go to sleep there .”

The boss pointed to a simple camp bed in the corner of the kitchen behind the bar, which was usually used for the bar workers to rest. The boss said: "You are lucky, George didn't come today, you don't have to sleep on the floor."

In fact, Luna has never slept on the floor. The owner of this bar is also one of Anne's regular customers. I don't know if Annie said something to him or the owner himself loves the house. Luna always has a place to sleep when she comes here at night. , Occasionally when the boss is in a good mood, he can have a breakfast.

Luna curled up on the camp bed after washing the dishes, listening to the faint conversations of guests in the bar outside.

"That person is really generous."

"I heard that he came to Mingzhou for business."

"It's cheaper than Annie's biao."

"How could someone as rich as him come to a place like ours."

"It won't be like what happened to Sophia last time."

"That's a pity. I haven't slept with Anne yet."

Luna was so sleepy that her mind was a little fuzzy. Before going to sleep, she thought: Who is Sophia?

The night was getting darker.

Luna fell asleep and woke up suddenly. She looked around and found that it was not yet dawn, but there was already a little light, about four or five o'clock in the morning.

She staggered out of the bar, looking at the dead street outside, trying to recall her dream just now.

Sophia...

She remembered who Sofia was!

Luna's heart twitched violently. She ran home and found that the door was open. She shivered and pushed open the door. Through the crack of the bedroom door, she saw a person lying on the ground. Flowing out through the crack of the bedroom door.

Sophia used to be the only prostitute in this area who could compete with Annie. One morning two years ago, she was found dead in her own home, and her death was horrible.

This area can be regarded as a four-way area, not to mention that it was a prostitute who died. After the police came, they simply asked the neighbors and concluded the matter as an accident and closed the case hastily.

This incident was only spread in the alleys as a topic of conversation for two or three days, people soon forgot about Sophia, and only a few of her regular customers would occasionally talk about her after drinking.

Annie, who almost never restrained Luna, accidentally prevented her from inquiring about Sofia, which aroused Luna's curiosity. She had been working in the bar for a few days after Sofia's death. Understand the whole story of the whole story.

There are some rich people with special hobbies who will deliberately go to this kind of four-way area to have fun all night. If they accidentally accidentally kill someone, who will offend a powerful person for a gangster who has no backer? What about the rich?

Luna pushed open the bedroom door gently, as if she was afraid to wake the people on the ground, even though she knew she would never wake up again.

The scars on Annie's body were all kinds of strange, Luna turned her head after only one glance, and couldn't bear to look any further, and then she saw a thick wad of money on the cabinet.

She trembled uncontrollably. It was that wad of money that bought Anne's life, and her life was only worth a few pieces of paper in the eyes of others.

Anne is undoubtedly a failure and a failure as a mother.She never hugged Luna, let alone said I love you to Luna.

But she never let her daughter stand at the entrance of the alley at a young age to attract customers, or sell her daughter's body like other prostitutes in the alley.

There was a guest who came from outside who wanted Luna for a sum of money before, but Annie just hooked his neck and said, "It's up to her to ask herself, but can't I satisfy you?"

Maybe she really didn't love this unexpected child enough, but she gave Luna enough freedom and rare equal respect.

In fact, when you think about it, she has always treated life with an indifferent attitude. Luna can occasionally glimpse a corner of her past life from her few words. She used to be a child of a middle-class family. As for how she Step by step, she fell to the current situation, but Annie refused to say a word.

Maybe she didn't allow Luna to inquire about Sophia because she knew that she would be like Sophia in the future, lying on the cold ground with her naked and scarred body open for everyone to look at.

Luna slowly knelt on the ground, opened her mouth, and wanted to scream, but only let out a helpless sob.

She looked at Annie's unclosed eyes, which reflected her figure kneeling on the ground, and for a moment she didn't know whether she was in a dream or in reality.

Luna clenched her fists, this was the first time she felt so cold and powerless after coming to this world.

Poverty can be changed by hard work, and even compromised, but the passing of life is irreversible in any case, and there is no way to compromise.

Luna has been trying to live with dignity for the past few years, but the reality hit her hard. She finally found that when life itself is so difficult that it is almost impossible to maintain, when life can be marked with a price, she has been The dignity pursued is simply a joke.

After the huge and cold grief, Luna felt uncontrollably angry, for the person who tortured and killed her mother, for all the indifference, for the desolation of waking up from a big dream.She felt a force pouring into her whole body, and finally she couldn't help lowering her head, and let out a howling like a lone wolf.

With her eruption, her house was reduced to ashes in an instant, and the invisible force continued to spread in the air. The cars parked on the street outside quickly produced rust, and then turned into a pile of scrap iron, and the tree trunks on the street became Black and then rot, falling silently, people grow wrinkles and white hair in sleep, and then turn into dry bones, this magic of time also infected the house, with her as the center, one house after another crashed in this silent morning collapse.

Luna opened her eyes and looked around, standing on top of the ruins, everything around her was like hell.

The silent force began to roll back into her body, and she staggered and passed out as her body disappeared into place.

All that remains is a hellish ruin.
