Rising like the sun

That summer was very hot, and the heat spread throughout the summer vacation. Until the end of September after school started, the afternoon sun still made people feel unbearably hot.Li Xin didn't think there was any difference that day, except that she had to take the monthly exam from morning till night.

In the morning, a single desk was set up in the classroom, and a seating chart was pasted on the notice board next to the blackboard. Li Xin glanced at it, then sat on the assigned seat and waited for the exam.

The students around were fighting in groups, discussing what kind of notes would not be found, Li Xin just put the water bottle on the foot of the table and watched silently.

Different animals will be protected, but different people will be isolated, especially for this group of teenagers who have just entered puberty.In the ordinary junior high school in this small county town, Li Xin is one of the few people in the class who study hard, and he is also the most outstanding in this minority - he went to the province to participate in the competition with No.2 in the school, he I won the first prize, but No.2 didn't even get a participation award.

Half-year-old children hate the person who is talked about by teachers and parents, so no matter whether their grades are good or not, they all look down on him in unison, and seldom talk to him since the first day of junior high school.

This is what Li Xin likes to hear, anyway, most of them will circle around in place, and he will get farther and farther away from them.Besides, he didn't feel lonely at all, because his younger sister Li Qing was in the next class, and sometimes he could still feel the wonderful feeling of being connected by blood even though they were separated by a wall.

Li Qing also has excellent grades, but everyone pays more attention to her appearance.In addition, she has a cheerful personality, loves to play and laugh, and boys often sing Jay Chou's "Xingqing" to her.

The hottest kid in the class, "Brother Tong", sat behind Li Xin like a gust of wind, and soon, he felt two scorching gazes engraved on the back of his head.

"Hey, three good students, I want to discuss something with you." Brother Tong's voice was tinged with teasing flattery, and he was the first to call Wei Guangzheng's nickname "three good students".

Li Xin turned her head slightly.

"Can you move the question you finished to the side, and let me check the answer."

Li Xin smiled, "It's not convenient."

"My family said that as long as I can advance to 5 places, I will change my mobile phone. Do me a favor."

Li Xin stared at his slightly turned-out thick lips for a few seconds, then shook her head slightly.

"After the exam, I'll treat you to something to eat."

"Thank you, you should take a look at the classmate next to you." Li Xin turned her head and glanced at her watch.

"Don't be so unkind..." The bell rang, the invigilator stepped onto the podium, and Brother Tong was still whispering behind Li Xin.

Li Xin didn't reply again.

For the first Chinese subject, Brother Tong stopped.From the second subject, Brother Tong kept making strange noises behind Li Xin with his thick lips, and kicked his stool from time to time.Li Xin frowned, moved the chair forward as far as possible, pressed her chest against the edge of the table, and answered the questions quickly.

With the exception of Chinese, he handed in the papers in less than a third of the exam time, and walked out of the class amidst the surprised voices of the whole class and Brother Tong's increasingly hateful eyes, Went to the library to read.

When passing by his sister's class, he stopped for a moment and looked through the glass of the back door for a while.

Li Qing's slim silhouette focused on answering the question, as if she had sensed something, she looked sideways at the back door cautiously, then rolled her eyes playfully, and stuck out her tongue.

Later, Li Xin never saw such a delicate and lovely expression appearing on her younger sister's face.

On the third day of the National Day holiday, the sky was as blue as fake.In the afternoon, when the restaurant was rarely idle, Li Xin went home to do her homework, when she saw her younger sister rushing out of the house wearing a brand new dark blue autumn dress.

"Go out to play?"

"My deskmate is looking for me."

"come back earlier."

"I'm not going home for dinner tonight!"

Li Xin hesitated for a moment, then called to stop her younger sister who was eager to fly out of the house like a bird, "If you eat until after dark, call me and I will pick you up."

Li Qing happily responded, and finally turned around on the spot, "Does it look good?"

"A bit old-fashioned."

"You bought this! Did you forget?"

Li Xin suddenly realized, "Oh, it was the last time I went to the competition—"

Li Qing had already trotted downstairs, "Let me copy it tonight, homework."

That afternoon, Li Xin finished all her homework in one go, but Li Qing didn't come back until 8 o'clock.

Li Xin called his sister several times, but no one answered.

At 8:10, he received an inexplicable text message: Three good students, your sister has good measurements.

Li Xin felt sick for a while, deleted the message, and dialed the number of her sister's tablemate and friend.

"Xiaoqing? Hasn't she come home yet? We came out of the store at about seven o'clock... Oh yes, she went shopping with another classmate! She said she wanted to buy pens and notebooks."

Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief, but the flustered feeling was still lingering.He wanted to go to the store to help his parents, but he didn't want to miss his sister's return home, so he started spinning around the house unknowingly.

Restless until 9:[-], a sound of drum-like footsteps came from downstairs, getting closer and closer, and stopped at the door.

Li Xin's heart hung up, and she stared at the door tightly.

The knock on the door and hoarse cries sounded at the same time: "Brother!! Open the door!!"

Li Xin almost jumped to the door in one step. The anti-theft door just opened a crack, and Li Qing squeezed in panicked like a hunted deer.

Her hair was draped over her shoulders in a mess like weeds, and she was wrapped in a striped sheet. As soon as she entered the door, she fell to the ground whimpering, and then crawled to the bathroom on all hands and feet, and locked the door with a click.

Bits of blood splattered into a red line, stretching all the way from Li Xin's eyes... It's extremely dazzling.

His first reaction was that his sister had been hit by a car, but it didn't look like it.

The sound of water from the shower came, followed by heart-piercing cries.

There was a bang in Li Xin's mind like a thunderclap, and that annoying message flashed by.

He threw himself on the glass sliding door of the bathroom and slapped it hard, "What's wrong with you? Xiaoqing! Tell brother what's wrong!"

The hoarse crying continued to hit the eardrums, Li Xin shouted: "You open the door!"

Li Qing still didn't respond, but kept crying like she was on the verge of suffocation.

Li Xin pulled the door desperately, the sound of water and crying suddenly increased a bit, and the door lock was broken by him.He hesitated for a moment, but still broke in.

The person he loves the most, the other half of his flesh and blood, is lying on her side, curled up naked under the shower, cold water is pouring on her bruised shoulders, her thighs are covered with blood, and white stains trace……

Li Xin slowly slumped on the ground, from the scalp to the soles of the feet became cold in an instant, and could not get hot anymore.

Li Qing's wet black hair was sticking to her red and swollen cheeks, her throat let out a mournful cry like a severely wounded beast, her dark eyes seemed to be looking at him, or looking past him to an unknown distance.

Li Xin got up suddenly and turned off the water, took out a bath towel from the bathroom cabinet and covered her body, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "I can't... I can't wash it anymore. After calling the police... I will wash it later."

Li Qing closed her eyes and said with difficulty: "Let me wash it, it's too dirty..."

Li Xin tried to calm down, and slowly helped her up, "I'll go find my parents, you get up first, and lie down on the bed."

"Everyone will know..." Li Qing muttered to herself as if she was dreaming.

Li Xin gently picked up her sister and put her on the bed in her bedroom.Even so, she wailed in pain, "It hurts..."

Li Xin squatted beside the bed, brushed her wet hair away from her face, and asked with a dry throat, "Do you remember his appearance? Do you know him?"

Li Qing frowned in pain, and said intermittently: "Two from your class...there is one who doesn't know..."

Three people... Li Xin shook, as if he had been hit by a sap.

"Lie down and don't move, I'll go find my parents."

Li Xin pulled the over-thin quilt to cover her body, and staggered towards the door.

"Why don't you copy it for him?"

Li Qing's weak and hoarse voice sounded behind him, as if a knife had been thrust into his back.

"Why do you want to take the first place in the school..."

Li Xin stumbled out of the house, and only realized after running downstairs that she could actually make a phone call.

Before collecting evidence, a policewoman took out white pills for Li Qing to take.

"What is this...?" Li Xin asked in a low voice.

"Emergency contraception."

Li Xin felt as if a hundred pills of this medicine were stuffed into her throat suddenly, and she was so choked that she couldn't breathe.

When his younger sister was accompanied by a policewoman to collect evidence and take notes, Li Xin was knocked to the ground by his blood-red father. His fist smelled strongly of oily smoke.

"How do you take care of your sister?!"

My mother didn't stop her, she squatted against the wall and wept uncontrollably. Several policemen stepped forward to stop her.

In the early morning of the next day, the three were caught in an Internet cafe.Brother Tong, his best friend, and his cousin.But two days later, Brother Tong's cousin was picked up by his family because he was under 2 years old.

It all happened in a small hotel located above a dark Internet cafe.The three of them had just watched the pornographic video, and as soon as they went out, they stared at Li Qing who was walking with her classmates.Brother Tong asked the other two to go upstairs to find a room, while he followed Li Qing and told her that her brother was playing with them and was injured nearby to rest.Li Qing hurriedly bid farewell to her classmates, and followed Brother Tong into hell...

Within a few days, all relatives visited the hospital.Those who have seen it, those who have not seen it, those who are really sad, and those who watch the excitement.

Empty comfort lingered in my ears, as well as various regrets and sighs: "The couple are honest people, how could this happen."

It seems that if Li Xin's parents were not honest enough, it would not be surprising for their daughter to encounter such a thing.

A person Li Xin called her aunt and grandma told him that "everything happens for a reason", and that his sister paid off her debts in this life because of her previous life's karma, and he did the same.Li Xin told her to get out, if she lost a few white hairs, maybe she would be slapped.
