After amnesia, monopolized by paranoia

Qi Rang didn't sleep well all night, but he still woke up early the next morning. There was nothing he could do, the smell of mothballs was too overwhelming.

This thing not only prevents insects, but also prevents people.

There was no toothbrush or toothpaste either, so Qi Rang could only rinse his mouth with water, planning to go out and buy something today.

Li thought of it very early. He was reading a book while guarding the firewood in the kitchen. After Qi Rang finished washing, he closed the book and got up, "Shall we have breakfast now?"

"Okay? What to eat?"

"Porridge."

White porridge, served with a small dish of soy sauce and coriander, looks strange and dark, but it tastes surprisingly good with porridge.

Li Xiang didn't serve himself porridge, but he got up and planned to do something.

"Why don't you eat?" Qi Rang asked, "Isn't there still a lot in the pot? I can't finish it all by myself."

"I've eaten."

"oh, I see."

Qi Rangan sat down with peace of mind and enjoyed the rare and overly light breakfast.

After a while, Li Xiang came out with a quilt in his arms, put it in a basin half filled with water, and squatted aside to wash it hard.

It was already November, and the air-conditioning of the cold water pierced into the bones. After a while, Li Xiang's hands turned red from the cold.

Qi Rang saw such a scene when he came out after eating, so he quickly grabbed Li Xiang's hand, "What are you doing?"

"You're not used to sleeping. I'll wash it. Today is a sunny day. It can be dried in one day."

"Hey, you don't need to do this, a quilt is already there, how can it be more important than your body?"

"My body doesn't matter..."

"It's very important!" Qi Rang interrupted Li Xiang and pulled him up, "A child, why do you always look bitter and bitter! Listen to me, don't wash this quilt, and accompany me today go out."

"Where are you going?"

"Going shopping, I can't just wear this outfit all the time."

"Where do you want to buy it?"

"Is Fushui County successful? Those things on Tai'an Street are all dusty."

"Yes, if you go to the county, you have to go early, the last bus is at 05:30 in the afternoon."

"Okay, let's go now. Is there a car? Find a car. I'll pay for it. Let's not take this wrong road."

Li Xiang hesitated a little, but still nodded: "There is a car."

Qi Rang thought that Li Xiang's hesitation was because he felt sorry for the money, so he didn't think much about it. It wasn't until the two went to the house of the tricycle driver in the village that the driver disgusted Li Xiang to go further away, and Qi Rang didn't understand what the problem was.

Reminiscent of what Aunt Bao said yesterday and her attitude towards Li Xiang, Qi Rangxin said that there is a high probability that people in this village have hooked Li Xiang on what Li Xiang did, so they are not willing to talk to him.

"If I don't get in the car, you can just take him alone." Li Xiang took it for granted, without even the slightest bit of resentment in his eyes.

"How can I do that? Without you, I am not familiar with this place..." Qi Rang was unhappy after hearing Li Xiang's words.

"You can go first. I'll catch up on foot. I just need to trouble you to wait for me for half an hour."

"No, there's no reason for me to ride in a car as an adult and ask you to walk as a child!"

"He won't let me in the car."

The driver snorted coldly, "It's good that you know."

Qi Rang didn't get angry, and took out a one hundred, "One hundred, let him take it!"

"You don't have to do this!" Li Xiang stopped Qi Rang first, because 100 yuan is already a huge sum of money for him to save for a long time, and it's not worth it just to fight for it.

Qi Rang didn't care whether it was worth it or not, and added another 100 yuan, "What about now? Let's go?"

The driver gritted his teeth, "Do you know who he is? If you hang out with him like this, you won't be afraid of accidents."

Qi Rang added another hundred, "Three hundred, if you don't leave, I believe there are people in this village who want to send us away!"

Li Xiang directly wanted to grab the money back: "We won't leave! For 300 yuan, this car is enough for one person to ride for two years, you don't have to do this!"

Qi Rang took advantage of his height to suppress Li Xiang and stared at the driver. The 300 yuan was not a small amount for the driver, so he was cruel, "Let's go! I'll see you off!"

This kid is right, let alone 300 yuan, someone is willing to give them 100 yuan, this money, if he doesn't earn it, someone else has to earn it.

Qi Rang raised his eyebrows triumphantly, and dragged Li Xiang into the car.

Li Xiang was sullen, "I can walk this distance in half an hour, there is no need to fight for it."

Qi Rang fell in love with the feeling of being an older brother helping a younger brother to succeed, and educated him: "Then why are you studying? Isn't it just to fight for this breath? What's the difference between fighting early and fighting late?"

"But this is 300 yuan."

"It's only 300 yuan. In my opinion, your dignity is much more important than this 300 yuan."

Li Xiang was slightly stunned, this was something he had never heard before, how much is his dignity worth?After his parents were gone, those seemingly well-intentioned people threw him leftovers and spoiled meat that he didn't want at home, and he still had to eat them.

Not only did he have to eat, but after eating, he still thanked these people for their willingness to help him, no matter how others looked down on him, he had to endure it.

"Do you still want to know about my mother?" Li Xiang asked suddenly.

"Why do you say this suddenly?"

"I should tell you, and it's up to you to decide whether you want to hang out with me or not."

Qi Rang listened attentively: "Then tell me."

Li Xiang's mother, Li Yuexiang, was kidnapped and sold. She is the daughter-in-law of the youngest in name, but in fact she is the wife of the two brothers. Even the old man Bao sometimes raped Li Yuexiang. Not only did Mrs. Bao not stop her, she blamed Li Yuexiang for seducing her father-in-law. , beat and scold at every turn on weekdays.

Li Yuexiang tried to escape several times, but she was arrested without exception. The most successful time, she had already boarded the car to the county seat, but was dragged back to Baojia Village by the Bao family who caught up.

After this time, Li Yuexiang completely lost her personal freedom, her legs were broken and she was locked up in a pigsty. Until Li Yuexiang had two miscarriages in a row, the doctor said that if she didn’t take good care of her, she would never be able to have children again, so the Bao family took her out of the pigsty. released.

Li Xiang was born under such circumstances. The biological father is unknown, but he must be of the blood of the Bao family. Li Yuexiang barely survived by pretending to be crazy, and would only secretly tell Li Xiang on rare occasions:

"Your name is not Bao Jun, but Li Xiang. You are my mother's ideal. You must study hard and escape from this place."

Later, Li Yuexiang conceived three more children in succession, but she failed to keep the first one. The doctor concluded that she had completely lost her fertility, and the Bao family secretly discussed selling her and buying a new one.

Li wanted to steal the key and let Li Yuexiang go, but Li Yuexiang didn't leave. Instead, he went to the kitchen and took a knife, hacked to death the sleeping Bao family of four, and finally wiped them all. own neck.

She is giving herself freedom, and she is also giving Li Xiang freedom to continue to stay with this family. Sooner or later, Li Xiang will become the next Bao family.

Li Yuexiang believed that Li Xiang, who had already stolen the key and wanted to rescue him, would find a way to continue living.

Qi Rang was so stunned that he couldn't speak, and finally understood where the deepness in Li Xiang's eyes that didn't match his age came from.

"Okay, I've finished what I have to say, you make a decision." Li Xiang's eyes were slightly red, and he still held his back as straight as a mountain, as if he could accept any decision Qi Rang made .

Qi Rang hesitated for a moment, then patted Li Xiang's head.

My brother also liked to treat him like this before, he felt very warm and comfortable, and he hoped to bring this kind of warmth to Li Xiang as well.

"You didn't do anything wrong. No, it should be said that you did a good job. You are very brave. If it were me, I would definitely not make the right choice like you."

"But they all say my mother is a lunatic and a murderer, and I will inherit her neuropathy."

"No, the ignorant one is this village that shelters trafficking, they are not worthy to judge you."

Li Xiang lowered his eyes slightly: "You are really a good person..."

"When you leave here in the future, you will find that there are still more good people in this world."

"Really..." Are there more good people?

Li Xiang is not sure, at least, like most people in this village, he is rotten from the root.

When they arrived in Tai'an, the two changed into a car and wobbled for an hour before finally arriving in the county seat.

It was almost noon now, Qi Rang felt a little hungry, so he took Li Xiang to have a meal first, bought two cups of milk tea and drank it, and walked slowly towards the supermarket.

When we arrived at the supermarket, Li Xiang said that he was going to buy something elsewhere. Qi Rang didn't think much about it, and asked him if he had enough money. A wheelbarrow, ready to go big.

There must be no shortage of toiletries, and Li Xiang’s has been used for a long time, so I bought two sets;

The quilt cover must also be changed. The cotton in the quilt that Li Xiang made himself was all boarded into a cake, so he had to buy two sets;

Buy more food, the family is short of vegetables, meat, etc., buy everything...

While Qi Rang was doing crazy shopping here, Li Xiang turned into a nearby Internet cafe and borrowed the ID card from the front desk at a high price to open the computer for an hour.

Li wanted to directly enter "Qi Rang is missing" to start searching, but unfortunately, he found nothing, and even went to the C forum for a while, but it was also very calm.

The things on Qi Rang's body can be seen as either rich or expensive. It must be because of something happened to run to such a remote place, and there is no rumor on the Internet, which only shows that Qi Rang's family background is stronger than he thought. Even bigger.

Li Xiang only entered the word "Qi" this time. Looking at the association entries below, he found that Qi Shi and Qi Yuebai were mentioned the most.

He read all the relevant information, and then wrote down the number of the front desk of Qi's company, then turned off the phone and left to find Qi Rang.

Qi Rang purchased three cars and was standing beside the escalator worrying when Li Xiang ran over suddenly with two ice creams in his hand.

"Try it, this ice cream is delicious, but unfortunately it's a bit far away, I guess you don't want to run anymore, so you went to buy it yourself." Li Xiang handed one of the ice creams to Qi Rang and said.

Qi Rang took a sip of the ice cream that Li Xiang bought all the way, and felt that it was just so-so, but he couldn't beat people to buy him something to relieve the heat, so Qi Rang stubbornly ate the ice cream.

Because there were too many things, Qi Rang paid a huge sum of money to call a car to take them back to Tai'an. Of course, Li Xiang strongly opposed it, but the objection was invalid. It was impossible for Qi Rang to move these things back by himself.

After returning home, Li Xiang immediately got busy. First, he made a breakfast and dinner, then went to change Qi Rang's bedding and quilt cover, and finally squatted by the sink and scrubbed the bed sheets that had been pulled out this morning.

Qi Rang couldn't stand it anymore, so he went to help wash the sheets together, and after drying them, he dragged Li Xiang into the house to rest.

Li Xiang actually has a TV at home, but without a set-top box, there are only two channels to watch, with long commercials and short programs, and some old TVs with poor picture quality, but it is better than nothing.

Qi Rang opened a large bag of snacks that he bought today, and asked Li Xiang to take whatever he liked, but after watching TV for a long time, Qi Rang found that he was eating all by himself, and Li Xiang almost never touched his snacks .

He simply tore open a bag of potato chips and put them into Li Xiang's arms, "Eat it quickly! I'm an adult, how can I let you, a child, not be able to eat anything."

Li Xiang glanced at the bag of potato chips in his hand, and was urged by Qi Rang, "Eat it quickly", before twisting a piece into his mouth.

Lime's unique slightly punching breath rushes all the way to the brain. At first, it is a bit uncomfortable, but when there is only a little salty smell left between the lips and teeth, the brain will unconsciously recall that unique scent.

Li Xiang pursed his lips, but did not move again.

"Why don't you eat? Don't you like it?" Qi Rang kept paying attention to Li Xiang's reaction, and asked when he saw that he didn't eat.

Li Xiang replied flatly: "I won't get used to it in the future."

Qi Rang's heart seemed to be pricked by something, and he almost blurted out the sentence "Why don't I help you", but he swallowed it back.

He hasn't figured out what to do in the future, so he shouldn't make promises to others casually.

"You can eat at ease, I can still afford these snacks." At the end, Qi Rang added: "I will also be able to afford it in the future."

"You will leave sooner or later."

"Even if I don't live here, I can send you something."

Li Xiang lowered his eyes, "Forget it, I don't need it."

Qi Rang: "..." Po kid, so stubborn.

The room returned to silence, only the TV was still dutifully playing old TV programs and advertisements.

When it was just dark, Qi Rang was sleepy and lying on the bed, when a child suddenly poked his head out from the door, "Brother Li Xiang~"

Li Xiang replied softly: "Go outside and wait for me."

"okay."

The child went out obediently, Li Xiang glanced at the sleeping Qi Rang, put the potato chips that had hardly been touched in his hand on the cabinet, turned off the TV and followed the child lightly.

"Brother Li Xiang, who is that person?" Outside, the child couldn't wait to ask Li Xiangdao.

"My...cousin."

"Your cousin is here! Are you going to go with him?" The child was disappointed for a moment, but soon cheered up again, "That's fine, you can continue to study in the future."

"He didn't come to take me away."

"Huh? Then what is he doing here?"

"Refuge." Li Xiang didn't want to entangle this topic too much, took out a chocolate from his pocket and handed it to the child, "Try it, is this the one you ate?"

"Have you eaten Brother Li Xiang?"

Li Xiangdao: "I have eaten."

Hearing this, the child put the chocolate into his mouth with peace of mind, the sweetness melted away, and his eyes lit up slightly: "Mmm! That's it! I remember, I've eaten it before!"

"I see, is it delicious?"

"good to eat!"

"Then can you do brother Li Xiang a favor?"

Bao Ranran tilted his head, and the breath he exhaled when he spoke was a sweet and greasy chocolate smell: "What's the matter?"

"Call Brother Li Xiang, but don't let your parents find out, you know?"

"I see!"

Li Xiang handed Bao Ranran the note with the phone number of the front desk of Qi's Company, and told Bao Ranran, "Don't report your name and address, just say that your mother is sick, you have nothing to do, and you want to ask your father for help."

"But Ranran's mother is not sick~"

"This call is for brother Li Xiang, so it's not that Ranran's mother is sick."

"I understand Brother Li Xiang!"

"You count the time yourself, make two or three calls a day, and hang up when you finish talking. Don't let your parents find out, you know? Otherwise, brother Li Xiang will ignore you in the future."

Bao Ranran nodded heavily: "Ranran will definitely not be discovered by Mom and Dad."

"Of course you're so cute."
