There's something wrong with the youthful life I long for

"I have searched all over the house, but there is no cage or secret door as you mentioned. Did you make a mistake?"

"Impossible, it is clearly written in the diary, there will definitely be."

"Then what is written on it? Tell me about it, maybe I can find some clues."

Ze Ye rubbed the back of his head and looked at the sky.

"Hmph, forget it, just take your time and find it alone!"

Misty Branch leaned against the wall and turned his head to one side.

Ze Ye closed his eyes and thought about the words described in the diary...

cold, smelly, damp, dark...

It seems that I went in the wrong direction from the beginning...

"Wuzhi, come with me."

Ze Ye walked past her.

"Haven't you already checked this storage room?"

Wu Zhi followed Ze Ye, puzzled.

"Not a storage room..."

Ze Ye didn't slow down after approaching the room, and directly opened the sliding door by the yard.

"It's the courtyard."

Wu Zhi followed suit: "You mean, the place we're looking for is in the yard where we first set foot?"

Ze Ye walked around against the wall and saw some empty flower pots gathered together.

"Yes, I think, I should have found it."

Ze Ye squatted down and removed the flower pot, and a square iron sliding door with rust was set on the ground.

"Didn't you always want to know what was written in the diary, here is what you want to know."

Ze Ye pulled the bolt away, slowly lifted the sliding door, propped it up with the support rod on the side, clapped his hands with a smile, and said to Wuzhi.

"Huh? Why am I going down?"

"Didn't you keep arguing and wanting to know before? Why, you want to run away now?"

"Putting away your clumsy aggressive tactics, I am an elegant noble no matter what, why should I get into this kind of basement that is so dirty at first glance?"

"To put it bluntly, I don't have the guts to go down."

"No matter what you say, I won't go down!"

"It's beyond your control."

Ze Ye walked up to Wu Zhi and grabbed her wrist, forcibly pulled her by his side, and walked down.

"It's fine if you go down alone! Why do you have to drag me!"

"Who knows what will happen if you keep you up there, what if you lock me up here?"

And, to be honest, I'm a little panicked...

Looking at the red and black dry marks on the basement stairs, Ze Ye felt more and more that it was the right choice to come down with foggy branches.

"Hey, it stinks! How could it be so stinky!"

Wuzhi tightly covered his nose.

"It's right that it stinks, have you forgotten when we came in over the wall?"

Ze Ye didn't have that much reaction to this smell,

In the past life in the countryside, squatting in the ten-thousand-year-old latrine that was airtight when the door was closed in summer, the smell was so stinky.

"This basement is just inside the wall, and there is a sewer channel outside the wall. Our current position is already below ground level, and it is normal for some water from the sewer to seep in."

"What?! Let go, I'm going out! You bastard!"

Wu Zhi struggled desperately after listening to Ze Ye's explanation.

"Stop making trouble, it's already here."

The stairs have come to the end, and the sunlight refracted from the square opening can still be seen clearly.

There was a repulsive dampness in the air, and on top of that there was a stench, the smell of excrement.

With an area of ​​six or seven square meters, there is something covered with a long strip of white cloth in the middle.

The innermost side is a square cage with mineral water and some unpacked bread scattered on the ground.

A long-haired woman was lying there with her back to them. Hearing their voices, she slowly straightened her upper body and turned her head.

Messy and haggard hair covered her eyes, her bloodless hands grabbed the railing of the cage, and her dry and peeling lips made a hoarse voice.

"Cough...welcome, back...home, from...nai."

……

ps: There will be another chapter in the afternoon, I will code it out during the lunch break...

Chapter 32 Truth

"The meaning is unknown, what is she talking about?"

Wu Zhi covered her nose and frowned and asked Ze Ye.

"Maybe, they are saying hello to us."

Ze Ye ignored the woman in the cage, after confirming that the gloves on his hands were fine.

Taking a deep breath, he slowly lifted the white cloth.

It's my wife Ushio, to be precise, it's my wife Ushio's body.

His eyes were slack, his face was pale, he was silent, his white shirt was stained red with blood, and there was no wound on the front.

Gently turned him over, there was a wound on his back corresponding to the heart, it seemed that this was a fatal wound.

Ze Ye originally thought that he would be a little panicked, and maybe there would be some physiological reactions such as vomiting,

But he didn't, just looked at the corpse in front of him and felt a slight discomfort, like the discomfort of seeing some strange and ugly things, which was still within the tolerable range.

Am I really that kind of cold-blooded person in my bones?

"This is the cheating man in the wedding photo, so what's inside is..."

Wu Zhi came to Ze Ye's side and left the corpse lying flat on the ground, and set his eyes on the cage in front of him.

"Yes, she is my wife Xi Guo."

Ze Ye covered the white cloth again and stood up.

"Hey... hey, Yuno's performance is great, wait for dad... to come back and have dinner together... hehe..."

The woman in the cage was kneeling halfway, smiling foolishly.

"What's wrong with her? She's been talking nonsense, imprisoned in a cage, shouldn't she ask us for help when she sees outsiders?"

"I do not know……"

Halfway through Ze Ye's words, he clenched his fist with his left hand and kicked his legs hard to the ground. Under the counterforce, his whole body blasted towards the woman in the cage like a cannonball.

Dangerously, his fist stopped an inch in front of the woman.

"Hey you……"

Wu Zhi didn't understand what Ze Ye's sudden runaway meant.

"It seems certain that she is crazy."

When a normal person sees a person rushing towards them with a fist waved suddenly, they will instinctively respond to stress, back up, dodge or fight back.

But the woman in front of her was unmoved, she still had that stupid look.

The reaction system stopped working, the brain was broken.

"I do not really understand?"

There are many question marks in Wuzhi's head.

"What don't you understand?"

"What I don't understand the most now is, what's going on with them?"

Wuzhi pointed to the ground and the iron cage,

"What kind of situation will cause the current situation?"

"I can probably guess some, but it's just a guess, and it may not be accurate."

Ze Ye ignored the hand stretched out to him in the cage, and returned to Wu Zhi's side.

"Do you want to listen?"

"Ah."

"Then show me how cute you are."

"..."

"Don't scratch me, don't blow your hair so easily, okay, I'm just kidding."

"Are you in a good mood? Still in the mood to joke?"

"Of course I'm in a good mood after confirming that Yuno is not the murderer."

"..."

"Okay, it's not a secret, let me tell you."

Ze Ye didn't tease Wu Zhi any more, but thought for a while and said.

"This man on the ground, you know, cheated on the mistress and often came home late. Of course, sometimes he just didn't come back, and his wife."

Ze Ye pointed to the woman in the cage,

"Facing such a husband all the time, she has accumulated a lot of pressure for a long time, and there is no place to release it. The final result is that she has mental problems."

That's why he treated Yuno in such a perverted way.

"As I said before, the trance caused her thinking mode to have problems. She felt that as long as she had a child with her husband, there would be room for her to stay, and she might be able to bring her husband back, so she took those help Pregnancy medicine."

"Remember, the thing I picked up under the bed, it contained the case of my wife Xi Guo a long time ago, it said that there was a problem with the uterus, infertility, and it could not be treated."

"When my wife Chao returned home, there must have been some conflict with my wife Xiguo. It may be because of the problem of the mistress, or it may be the problem of infertility, which caused my wife Xiguo to be stimulated. She took the scissors from behind and stabbed my wife Chao. The vital point, so it has become like this.”

"How do you know it wasn't my wife Yuno who did it?"

"Judging from the information revealed between the lines in her diary, I don't think she would do such a thing; besides her, only my wife Xi Guo has this suspicion."

"Then why are they here? And my wife Xi Guo is locked in a cage?"

"It should be done by Nai."

"Why did she do that?"

"Maybe it's because she really loves this home, this place that once gave her warmth and beauty."

Ze Ye looked at the dry lips of the woman in the cage, the mineral water was beside her, she had reached the point where she couldn't even take care of herself.

He suddenly remembered Stockholm Syndrome, which has a little similar meaning,

Yuno's diary describes the inhuman torture she has suffered over the years. She fears, cries, and collapses, but there is no such emotion as resentment.

This family once gave Yuno warmth, but it gradually fell apart. Yuno has been yearning to return to the good old days,

But the two people who maintained the family have collapsed, and there is no way to give her the love she expected.

The last sentence in the diary is "I won't let you leave me!"

It probably happened when my wife Nishika and my wife Ushi were alone at home after Yuno went to school.

Yuno may not be willing to accept the fact that the tragedy happened after returning home from school,
