damaged

From Nie Chuan's narration, Arlene couldn't imagine how Tang Muning looked like "hysterical", "struggling" and "heartbroken" as Nie Chuan said.

Nie Chuan bit his straw, smiling all over his face from time to time, chatting with three or four people around him.

"This time it was terrible. Compared to this time, the last time the kitten was like a tickle. Her nails were scraped off and left a long thin mark on my car."

……

Seeing Tang Muning struggling, Nie Chuan took two steps forward to dissuade him: "Can't you be gentle with your wife, my brother?"

Her voice was insignificant among the rude voices of men and the cries of women, and no one paid any attention to the thoughts and suggestions of this outsider.

The elder who seemed to be in charge looked Nie Chuan up and down, then turned around twice, walked to the front of the car, looked at the car logo on Nie Chuan's car, and finally returned to her under Nie Chuan's surprised gaze.

A little smile appeared on the elder's face: "What do you do at home?"

"A farmer." Nie Chuan said coldly, making up random excuses.

His face sank: "What about your partner?"

"The sweeper," Nie Chuan said.

He glanced at the car behind Nie Chuan again, and once again shot at Nie Chuan like a radar, and asked, "Then how did this car get here?"

Nie Chuan suddenly felt as if there were countless little ants climbing wantonly on the tip of his heart, but his face was still polite and calm: "I won the lottery."

The smile on the old man's face disappeared as quickly as a bullet popped out of his chest, and suddenly he put on a cold face: "Then let me tell you. Don't provoke my daughter-in-law, she is from my family.

Don't always make my daughter-in-law run to your side every three days. If something goes wrong, you won't be able to pay for it. "

Nie Chuan snorted coldly: "You just look down on me, your face has changed so quickly."

"I don't know where you came from. How did you teach me to talk to the old man like that?" The old man gave Nie Chuan a hard look, muttered, and went back to the courtyard.

"How can someone look down on people so blatantly? It's the 21st century, and you still divide my occupations into high and low?" Nie Chuan shouted at the old man's back.

He didn't look back.

After recovering, Nie Chuan turned around to leave, only to find that many neighbors had surrounded him.

She pressed the lock of the car that she had just opened twice to lock it, and there were two low beeps.

Nie Chuan pulled the woman with a good face, complained politely, and asked about the family's affairs.

……

"Is it a bought daughter-in-law?" A young man around Nie Chuan asked impatiently.

Nie Chuan waved his hand: "It's true that Mingmei is marrying, I want you to love me." He put his arm around Ashin's neck and looked into his eyes ambiguously, "It's just that it's different before and after marriage. Men, no It’s all like this, don’t you think so, brother Ashin?”

"We're not married yet. I can't tell." Ashin said.

There was laughter all around.

"Why is it different?" A young girl leaned forward and asked Nie Chuan curiously.

Nie Chuan took his hands off Ashin: "I don't know too well. Specifically, it seems that the husband of the kitten has been chasing after him for many years, and he started to play tricks after he got married."

……

News in the small village spread quickly from person to person.

Soon Tang Muning's husband heard two or three gossip.

The man lost face, but became the wife's fault instead.

Within a few days, the villagers rarely saw Tang Muning's shadow in the village.

Some people said that Tang Muning was locked inside the house, and her steps were restrained with chains.

When the mother asked someone to come to her husband's house and say: I am seriously ill, go home.

Only the old man in charge waved his hand, thinking it was a child's joke and drove away the children who came.

The mother was lying on the hospital bed, staring at the door of the ward with both eyes, holding out her breath after breath.

The child who came rushing in panted again and said to the people in the ward, "I was driven away." But in response to his father's scolding, he slapped the child on the face again, and then ran away angrily To Tang Muning's husband's family.

When the uncle hurriedly dragged her to stand in the hospital, the aunt said with tears in her eyes:

"My sister is gone."

Tang Muning stood where he was, staring blankly at his mother who had become a corpse lying on the hospital bed, didn't say anything, didn't do anything, just stood there, stared, stared.

Watching the medical staff come in, tidy up the body, and push it out again, always staring at the place where my mother's life disappeared.

just.

looking at.

Within a few days, my uncle organized my sister's funeral, setting up many tables in the yard and laying out several sets of funeral banquets.

When everyone walked in, they all looked at uncle with mournful faces, and comforted him: "Don't be too sad."

Tang Muning stood with his uncle.

He stretched out his hand behind her and pinched her soft flesh fiercely, pressing his throat hard and yelling softly:

"Girl! Cry!"

Tang Muning gritted his teeth and opened his eyes wide.don't cry.

Uncle nodded to those who came to offer condolences.He stretched out his hand behind his back and once again exerted full strength.

Tang Muning's eyes were red.don't cry.

"You don't cry when your mother dies!" She said in a low voice, and she was twisted again.

don't cry.She always refuses to cry.

Her nails burrowed into the flesh of her index finger, and blood flowed down her finger, she refused to cry.

She gritted her teeth, clenched her fists in her sleeves, stared at the bloodshot eyes, fixedly staring at one after another of the guests, her face was terrifying.

end.

The funeral is over.

Uncle yelled at Tang Muning to help clean up.

She was about to go back to the house with her arms full of melons and fruits, when she suddenly saw the picture of her mother being taken down and placed on the ground for some reason, leaning on the table leg.

Suddenly her cries exploded like a storm.

It caused my uncle and aunt to come out in a hurry.

"I didn't cry just now, but now I'm crying so loudly. What's the use?" The uncle glanced indifferently.Commenting.

When the villagers saw Tang Mu Ning again, they looked in amazement at the unkempt beggar-like thing in front of them.Said she was a person, and she didn't look like a person.

In the end, when talking about her after dinner, I said:

"She used to be a very beautiful person."

……

The late spring guests sighed sadly as Nie Chuan's narration ended.

Their expressions and actions seem to be listening to a fictional and unrealistic story.

"Why can't you save her?" Arlene sat up from the sofa angrily and asked.

Before Nie Chuan could speak, a middle-aged man next to him smiled wryly and asked Arlene, "Why don't you go and save her?"

"How can I help?"

After hearing Arlene's words, his wry smile became stronger, and the smile was almost stiff on his face: "Then how can we save?"

"You are adults."

Arlene stared at him angrily.

"My lord is not as great or as powerful as you imagined." A woman with exaggerated makeup standing beside him interjected.

Two months later, when Tang Muning was standing at the gate of Wanchun again, Nie Chuan jumped and dragged Tang Muning to the store as before, and pushed her into the group of friends in the store, but he didn't blend in again. Among them, instead retreated to the corner and lit a cigarette.look at her.

When Tang Muning didn't see Nie Chuan for a while, he would anxiously look around.

Nie Chuan smiled at her, and then she calmed down.

Nie Chuan's smile was fleeting. She squinted her eyes, puffed out the smoke, thoughtfully.

Arlene walked up to Nie Chuan with the guitar in her arms, asking in a questioning tone, "Would you like to give it to her?"

Nie Chuan breathed out the smoke ring and was silent for a moment.

"deliver."

she said so.

Arlene doesn't believe her.Arlene couldn't believe she was so unkind.Arlene couldn't believe that so many friendly and kind people in late spring could ignore the injustice in the world.Arlene believes that they will save her from suffering.

So Arlene smiled and said, "It depends on how you send it."

To Arlene's surprise, when Arlene stood in front of the bar and asked Ashin who was wiping the glass, "Where's Tang Muning?", Ashin told Arlene without raising his eyelids: "Nie Chuan sent you away."

Arlene's backlog of anger was like a bomb that exploded suddenly.

Arlene's hand slammed on the bar counter as if not controlled by Arlene's will, and there was a loud noise, and the discussions around Wanchun suddenly subsided, as if they were responding to Arlene's inexplicable move.They were also looking at Arlene.

"I'll never come to your place again." Arlene swore, and raised her arms and stretched out two fingers, staring at Ashin.

He was also taken aback, and then put down the hanging cup in his hand, just like the gesture Arlene received Arlene when she first came to late spring.

He nodded: "Yes, I see. Xiaolin has to live a good life. No matter what, Wanchun will always welcome Xiaolin."

Arlene's nose was sore, and her eyes were red, and she moved towards the door step by step.

But just in time to meet Nie Chuan who came back.

And Tang Muning who was leading behind her.

Arlene was a little taken aback, and blinked childishly.

Nie Chuan smiled tiredly on his face, looking so powerless, and said to Arlene, "You are right. You can't send it back."

From then on, Tang Muning stayed in Wanchun.In the days that followed, Nie Chuan seemed very busy every day, with piles and piles of documents always placed in front of his desk.

I heard Ashin and his friends jokingly say that Nie Chuan is basically either on the road or talking on the phone with others.

In order to get rid of Tang Muning's troubles, Nie Chuan found many people and spent a lot of money. In the end, she hugged Tang Muning excitedly as if she had won a battle, and shouted: "Let's leave!"

She stretched and yawned: "Your relatives who are messed up will not come to you anymore," she stretched out her index finger to trace Tang Muning's figure in the air, and smirked, "It took me A lot of work. You have no place to go now, so work here. You are mine now, do you understand?"

"Ning doesn't sound good, let's call you Tang Muyang." Nie Chuan said.

Tang Muning, oh no, Tang Muyang nodded and sat meekly beside Nie Chuan.

Arlene looked at them.

it's wired.

It seems that Tang Muyang escaped from a cage.

And got into another cage.
