Darkest Action

When it was time to leave the orchard, Comrade Meng Guoxiang had already returned from his work.I saw a few deep pits that had been dug, and while Qi Rui went to get food for Nan Zai in the car, I asked Lao Meng, "Dad, why are these pits dug for?"

The old man explained that it was set aside for planting lotus root, and some mud would be poured in after a while.Before I asked the old man to dump the mud, I would have to come over one night to bury something.

The old man was full of doubts: "Son, what are you going to bury under the lotus root pond? If you have to take it out later, it will be inconvenient. You have to drain the water and dig the lotus roots to remove the mud."

I didn't disclose the details to Meng Guoxiang, only told him to keep it secret for me.Seeing my serious posture, Meng Guoxiang knew that the matter was of great importance, so he agreed immediately.

In the evening, Meng Guoxiang asked Qi Rui and I to have dinner at the cooperative. He cooked the food himself, went to the cafeteria to fry up a table of dishes, and cut a few plates of fresh fruits and melons.

The sick leave is over, and I'm finally going back to work in Shite. Before joining the unit, I helped An Lan with a personal matter.

Jiang Anqi is already ten years old, long past the age of Youshengxiao.Since her autism has never been cured, the child has been living in the city's large courtyard since the incident. Although a tutor comes to class every week, she is still out of touch with children of the same age.

An Lan was very anxious about this. He wanted An Qi to integrate into the normal learning environment as soon as possible. The reason why he insisted on choosing an international school was because he hoped that the child could study abroad directly when he grew up and forget everything that happened here.

Jiang Anqi's dependence on He Qiyan became more and more intolerable in An Lan's eyes.He made a break with He Qiyan, and there was no reason to let his niece be an excuse for He Qiyan not to let go.

An Lan was born strong, and the strong are used to being strong, and they have high demands on others.He lacks the way and patience to educate children, and the only means is to apply pressure.

During the period when I was hospitalized, Jiang Anqi was forced to learn English, and her vocabulary suddenly broke through a thousand.

One night, the child memorized the words so much that she couldn't speak human words, and she would not stop calling her, with empty eyes, jumping out words one after another, as if she had been possessed.The tutor was frightened by this scene, but An Lan was not frightened.It is said that Captain An stood straight in front of An Qi, and gave the order coldly: "Stop."

An Qi really stopped, but her small body trembled like chaff.

When the day of the interview came, Jiang Anqi made an unexpected mistake.Facing the teacher's questions, she responded fluently and performed well, but when she walked out of the classroom, she had an extra mobile phone in her hand.

An Lan and I were waiting in the lobby of the teaching building. After the interview, An Qi walked over silently and handed me the phone.I was confused by this child and asked her: "An Qi, whose cell phone is this?"

"It was stolen." Jiang Anqi lowered her head and answered silently.

I suddenly felt that the air around me was about to freeze, and the first thing I did was to protect the child behind me. Just as the interviewing teacher chased him out, I quickly returned the phone and apologized, saying that I bought it for the child. Passed a mobile phone of the same model, she mistakenly thought it was her own, so she took it out, and now she is about to return it.

The teacher criticized that the child's habit of taking things randomly is not good. It must be that the parents don't care enough and must be corrected as soon as possible.

I said yes again and again, and finally sent people away.As soon as the teacher left, the surrounding temperature immediately dropped a few degrees. Generally, when An Lan was silent, it was even more terrifying, as if a storm was about to hit in the next second.

"Meng Ran, get back to the side." As soon as An Lan spoke, I knew something was wrong, and was about to persuade him, but he threw two words: "Shut up!"

Helpless, I had no choice but to stand beside An Qi.

An Lan came over and asked her condescendingly, "Tell me, why do you want to steal?"

Jiang Anqi's tears fell instantly, she raised her head sobbing, and said stubbornly: "I don't want to go to school!"

An Lan raised her hand in an instant, and I quickly put the child back behind me: "Master, you can't slap! If you slap me, this child will die!"

An Lan withdrew her hand, turned her head and left the teaching building without saying another word.I led the trembling Jiang Anqi and followed her all the way.

The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.

After returning to Shite, it was getting late and the rain was pouring down.

An Lan's anger was suppressed forcibly, and as expected, he lost his temper again, and ordered the general logistics room to quickly clean up a dormitory, and threw all of An Qi's things there.

An Qi suffers from a fear of the dark, and cannot sleep with no one to accompany her.All these years, she has lived in the same dormitory with her uncle, and if An Lan can't come back at night, she will take turns to accompany me or He Qiyan.

The imperial decree has been issued, and the king's order is hard to disobey.

A flash of lightning came from the sky, and the short light flashed across An Lan's stern face. He stepped on the rumbling thunder, and ordered An Qi expressionlessly: "Go back to your room and stay."

On a thunderstorm night, that dark room was like an unknown and terrifying black hole to Jiang Anqi. She instinctively shrank behind me and shook her head repeatedly: "No, Anqi, don't go!"

An Lan stood in front of me, her eyes fixed on Jiang Anqi below: "Don't make me say it a second time."

His cold-faced Asura-like posture, not to mention the unhealed An Qi, even I can't help but feel apprehensive.Before I could open my mouth, An Lan had already made a move. He dragged Jiang Anqi past, pushed into the dark dormitory on the side, and locked the door behind him.

"Master, you're going too far. An Qi is ignorant, so she stole something on a whim. But the child handed in her mobile phone as soon as she left the classroom, which shows that she didn't want to steal subjectively. Maybe it was to arouse the attention of her parents." Notice."

While I was persuading, He Qiyan also came.An Qi in the dormitory had already collapsed, and burst into tears, pounding on the door, begging An Lan to let her out.

When He Qiyan heard it, his heart was also broken, and he knocked on the door outside and shouted: "An Qi! Don't be afraid, Uncle He is here!"

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and begged An Lan: "Mr. An, An Qi is not an ordinary child! Her illness has not recovered until now, and she dare not sleep alone at night... You can't treat her so harshly!"

"Do you know what she did during the interview?" An Lan looked at He Qiyan coldly, "Thanks to her growing up in the police dormitory, she learned to steal. I've given her enough time, what happened?"

I stood up to support He Qiyan: "Not everyone can get over a hurdle. Some people suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, and they will never recover in their entire lives! Besides, An Qi is only ten years old. People have to accept this. There are still weak people in this world!"

"Accept? In what capacity do you accept it for her?" An Lan's eyes were drawn to me like a knife, "Is weakness a very legitimate and honorable reason? Admitting that you are a waste, you can hide under the protection of others, Don't you ever need to grow up? What if one day I die, who will take care of her? Who will tell her that it's useless to be weak?!" An Lan's words were fierce, and she was completely angry.

In the dormitory, Jiang Anqi's cries had turned into screams, hysterical and piercing.

He Qiyan's tears were about to fall, and he begged An Lan again: "Give me and An Qi a little more time, I will teach her well, and I will take her to cure her disease! Don't force her so much, she will hate you Your!"

Another flash of lightning pierced the night sky, and it rained heavily, splashing on An Lan's side face. He replied coldly: "Hate me? I don't care."

He Qiyan couldn't hold back An Lan at all.I thought to myself that even those who are not sick will be tortured like this, and they will still have psychological trauma. When I was worried and didn't know what to do, Qi Rui and Qi Feng actually came together. As soon as they arrived, they felt the tense tension in the corridor. atmosphere.

Qi Rui walked up to me and asked in a low voice what happened, and I briefly told him.

Qi Feng didn't give face. He heard the terrified screams in the dormitory, and asked An Lan: "What are you doing, abusing children? Open the door quickly and let the children out!"

An Lan's attitude was also very firm: "My child, you don't need Mr. Qi to discipline you."

Hearing this, Qi Rui was about to stand up, but Qi Feng raised his hand to stop him: "Xiao Rui, don't talk."

Among the few people present, only An Lan had the ability to explode Qi Feng with a single sentence.Qi Feng couldn't help getting angry: "I can't control it? Do you believe that I will contact the lawyer now and sue to revoke your custody?"

There was almost killing intent in An Lan's eyes, and she raised her chin: "Qi Feng, you have a try."

"Uh, Master Feng." Seeing that the two big men were about to draw their guns, I acted as the peacemaker: "Don't get excited, there is a reason for Mr. An's temper, and he didn't mean to shut An Qi. How can he not hurt?" That kid? Just now, Captain He and I have almost convinced him..."

"The child is making such a fuss, is your master deaf or blind? The whole thing is irresponsible!" Qi Feng stared straight at An Lan without giving in.

"Don't pretend to be saints, who here cares more about An Qi's future than me?" An Lan asked back.

I am well aware of the nature of my master.Right now, his authority is being challenged, which will make him even more furious. If he wants to play tough with him face to face, the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu may also have a bloody head.

In order to prevent the conflict from escalating, I walked over and persuaded: "Master, calm down. An Qi's punishment is also fined, it's almost enough..."

I wanted to get the key in An Lan's hand, but unexpectedly, he waved his hand violently and said angrily, "Go away!"

The serrations on the key scratched half of my face, and the skin was torn in one go.He Qiyan was the closest, could see clearly, and asked with concern: "Xiao Meng, are you alright?"

I was afraid that Qi Rui would stand up for me, and another person would get involved, so I hurriedly said it was okay.

Qi Feng couldn't bear An Lan anymore. He took out his mobile phone and asked again: "You don't plan to open the door, do you? Then you just wait to receive the summons from the court."

Qi Feng was about to make a call, Qi Rui immediately held his hand and shook his head at Qi Feng.Afterwards, he walked up to An Lan and looked at her at the same level: "What happened, you want to go to war like this?"

Facing Qi Rui, the anger in An Lan's eyes stopped growing, and she glanced at me: "Didn't he tell you everything?"

In the dormitory, An Qi's voice was almost hoarse. She seemed to have no strength, and she knocked on the door intermittently and cried.Amidst the crying, Qi Rui looked at An Lan quietly, his eyes were calm: "The child should be taught slowly, be patient."

An Lan's eyes fell on Qi Rui's neckline, where a necklace loomed.An Lan frowned, and her outstretched hand trembled slightly. He wanted to take out the necklace to see clearly.

The moment he was about to touch the necklace, Qi Rui held the trembling hand.But An Lan refused to compromise, broke free and pulled out the necklace - he saw a ring, a ring with my name engraved on it.

At that moment, An Lan seemed to have experienced a betrayal.He raised his eyes slowly, his pupils trembled and looked at Qi Rui, and after a while he laughed at himself: "I often have the illusion that it's the same as in the past, because we are separated, so you didn't come to see me. "

The dark night covered An Lan's reddish eye sockets, and without turning his head, he suddenly threw the dormitory key to me.I immediately opened the door of the dormitory, and as soon as the door opened, the collapsed An Qi fell to the ground. He Qiyan rushed to help the child up and called her name.
