Chapter 86 No one knows what this beautiful and kind girl has been through.
Shi Yang escaped!
She escaped while the two human traffickers were completely drunk!
She couldn't tell which way to go, so she just randomly picked a direction and kept running.
Soon, the human traffickers discovered her escape and gave chase.
She knew she couldn't outrun them and would be caught soon.
Once you catch it...
She shuddered as she thought of the boy being gnawed on by rats.
Using its small size, it constantly burrows into the roadside bushes and trash cans to hide itself.
At times, she could even feel them passing by, cursing: "You little brat, I'll catch her and kill her."
In the sweltering summer heat, a torrential downpour forced her to huddle inside a trash can, enveloped in a pungent, foul odor. Rainwater seeped in through the cracks, and the stench soaked her clothes.
The stormy night, accompanied by the terrifying shouts of the human traffickers, left an indelible shadow on her childhood and for the rest of her life.
I don't know how much time passed, but my eyelids grew heavier and heavier, my body slumped, and I lost consciousness...
When she woke up again, she was already in the hospital.
She was saved!
Realizing this, she started crying and calling for her mom and dad.
The nurse calmed her down, and Shi Bin arrived shortly afterward.
She wanted to complain; she wanted to tell them that her older sister had lost her!
However, before she could speak, Shi Bin said, "Your sister committed suicide and is now lying in the ward next to yours."
“Your mom and dad know you’ve been wronged. Your sister committed suicide out of guilt for accidentally losing you. The doctor said she has depression. It’s so young to have this kind of illness that may last a lifetime. Do you know that your sister will never be able to live a normal life again? Your mom cries every day. Let’s not talk about this anymore.”
As a child, Yang stayed in her hospital bed and had no idea what depression was.
But she knew her sister was alive.
But she almost died.
During the following days of hospitalization, Shi Bin and Song Zhihua never stepped into her ward again; only a caregiver was taking care of her.
Sometimes she could even hear the laughter of a family of three coming from the next ward.
She lowered her head sadly, wondering to herself, "Is depression such a terrible disease?"
Is that why Mom and Dad stayed by my sister's side?
During her time at the hospital, she often heard the nurses talking together: "That little girl in bed 8 is so pitiful. I heard she was almost kidnapped by human traffickers. She hid in a trash can all night, got a fever and fell into a coma. The next day, she was found by sanitation workers and they called the police."
"I heard that the girl in the next ward is her sister, but the two sisters are worlds apart. Their parents are always around the next ward, and I've never seen them visit bed 8."
Someone once said, "It's really obvious whether someone loves you or not."
After being discharged from the hospital and returning home, she met Shi Yue. Unexpectedly, Shi Yue's reaction was much stronger than hers. For a long time, Shi Yue acted as if she was going to die and often self-harmed.
He kept saying sorry, that it was all my fault, and so on.
Shi Bin and Song Zhihua held her and cried.
Song Zhihua looked at her with an expression she couldn't understand.
Xiao Yang stood at the door, looking bewildered at their heartbroken embrace.
It wasn't her fault, so why does she seem to be the bad guy?
Late at night, Song Zhihua came to the room. It was the first time since the accident that she had looked at her with such concern and affection: "Yangyang, are you feeling better?"
She nodded, flattered.
After asking just that one question, Song Zhihua steered the conversation toward Shi Yue: "You're better now, but your sister's condition is getting worse. Yangyang, your sister didn't do it on purpose; she didn't expect to lose you."
Xiao Shiyang shook her head seriously: "No, my sister deliberately lost me!"
She could not forget Shi Yue's wicked smile before she left.
"You're still young, there are many things you don't understand. Mom loves you the most, will you promise Mom something?" Song Zhihua spoke the cruelest words in a gentle tone:
“Swear, swear to the Buddha, that you will never tell the truth in this lifetime. Let’s let this matter pass. Just treat it as a dream. When you wake up, it will all be gone.”
Shi Yang shook his head.
No, this isn't a dream. Dreams only happen once, but the events of that day—the terrifying human traffickers, the boy eaten by rats, and the chilling lightning—enter her dreams almost every night, tormenting her to the point of near death.
This is not a dream, this is a real feeling, this is something that actually happened!
Song Zhihua dragged her from upstairs to the stairs, and then from the stairs to the living room, the sharp edges of the stairs bumping against her body.
She cried and shouted, but Song Zhihua remained unmoved. He pulled her to the statue of Buddha and said, "Swear! Swear now!"
She refused, so Song Zhuihua punched her repeatedly.
"Swear! I want you to swear!"
Song Zhihua pinched her face and glared at her fiercely: "If you don't swear, I'll throw you out and I don't want you anymore!"
That night, Xiao Shiyang saw the same ferocious expression on his mother's face as that of a human trafficker.
When they spoke, they opened their blood-red mouths like monsters, as if they were about to devour her.
She was terrified and forced to make a vow.
Since that night, she has become very quiet and no longer smiles.
What she often does is hide in her bedroom and space out.
The old lady returned during the Chinese New Year. She was Shi Yang's grandmother. When she learned about this, she took Shi Yue to the countryside.
Even if Song Zhihua was unwilling, the old lady said that she didn't have many years left to live and wanted her granddaughter to keep her company, so they couldn't say anything.
In Shi Yang's memory, among the cold and ruthless Shi family, the old lady was the only one who truly cared about her.
Unfortunately, just a year or two later, the old lady passed away, and Shi Yue was brought back.
But it was the beginning of Shi Yang's nightmare.
Shi Yue became more extreme and terrifying. After accidentally learning that she was afraid of the dark, she would try to lock her in a dark room whenever no one was home, listen to her beg for mercy, and record those beggar's words.
Not only that, Shi Yue would also invite her girlfriends to her house to enjoy the show, and they would gather outside the door to listen to her cries and pleas for mercy.
Shi Yang narrated everything in an almost calm and gentle tone.
Everyone present fell silent, their only sound the sound of their breathing.
Wen Wanwan sobbed uncontrollably, "Sister-in-law, you...you're so pitiful..."
She burst into tears, leaning against Wen Huai'an's chest: "Brother, sister-in-law is so pitiful! They are all beasts, all beasts!"
Even the usually calm Wen Huai'an revealed an indignant expression, staring at Shi Yue, who was creaking on the ground: "You're simply not human."
Everyone realized there was another person in the room and looked over at the same time.
Ji Peiheng stood by the wall like a statue. After a long while, he exhaled, pointed at Shi Yue, and said, "I want to hear what she has to say!"
His voice was dry and hoarse from not speaking for a long time, and it also contained a hint of ruthless bloodlust.
