Qiao Qingqing seemed to be dreaming.
In her dream, she woke up from a fragrant bed. When she opened her eyes, she found herself in an elegant room.
Suddenly the door of the room opened.
The woman with a blurred face stood at the door and said to her in a gentle voice: "Qingqing, get up quickly. It's time to go to school."
She responded obediently: "I know, Mom."
When I left the room, I saw a tall man sitting next to the dining table in the living room.
When the man saw her, he asked with dignity and concern: "Why are you wearing so little? Be careful not to catch a cold. Put on a coat."
She heard herself complain in her dream: "No, I want to wear this dress today, and match it with the new shoes my mother bought me!"
Her persistence made the man compromise, and he said helplessly: "When you catch a cold, don't ask me to take you to the hospital again."
The woman who brought out the breakfast immediately became unhappy: "This is your daughter. If she is sick, who else can she go to if not you?"
The man was speechless, shook his head, and waved to her: "Okay, come and have breakfast, and after you finish eating, Dad will take you to school."
I felt very happy.
She couldn't help but run towards her "father". However, just as she was about to fall into his arms, the surrounding scene shattered like a mirror. The gentle and loving parents turned into pieces, followed by a series of harsh scoldings...
"You're a loser! You can't even cook a meal! How many times have I told you not to put so much water!"
She huddled in a corner in panic, watching the huge shadow getting closer and closer, and begged for mercy anxiously: "I'm sorry, Mom, I didn't mean it. I'm only ten years old. I will do better in the future..."
All he got in return for his words of pleas for mercy were slaps, punches, kicks, and endless verbal abuse.
"I'd rather raise a dog than you! If I had known I would have thrown you away! You can't do any work and you're just a waste of food!"
She hugged her head and shrank into a ball, swallowed by boundless despair. She cried, "Qingqing doesn't waste food. Qingqing eats very little. Mom, don't throw Qingqing away..."
The cursing faded away, and the next moment, she was hit by a stick again and again.
She rolled on the ground in pain: "Daddy! Daddy, please don't hit me! Qingqing won't dare to do it again. Qingqing will be obedient in the future..."
"Why didn't you check on your brother today? Look how badly he hit his forehead!
If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't learn your lesson!"
She raised her head to look at her father and opened her mouth to explain, but her father swung down with a stick and hit her in the mouth. She howled in pain, covered her mouth and knelt on the ground. When she let go, a mouthful of blood and teeth fell into her small palm.
The young little girl looked at the broken tooth in her palm with fear and horror, but saw the blood in her hand suddenly spread along her arm towards her, and the blood-red color gradually turned into black that could swallow everything. Her palm, arm, and arms were swallowed up one by one, and the broken tooth trembled violently, and finally turned into a huge mouth of the abyss, which suddenly opened and swallowed her into its stomach!
The biting pain and coldness enveloped her whole body, and she cried out in panic and pain in the endless darkness.
Help me...
Help me...
The young girl was torn apart by pain, and her broken soul gradually reshaped a new self in the darkness.
Qiao Qingqing squatted in front of the helpless little girl and hugged her with open arms.
“Don’t be afraid…”
"We are saved."
A drop of water suddenly dripped out from the dark abyss beneath Qiao Qingqing's feet.
This circle, with her as the center, quickly extended in all directions.
The dispelling of darkness symbolizes the coming of light.
The little girl in his arms stopped her fear and sobbing, raised her head and looked into her eyes, and the self in each other's eyes gradually merged into one.
