Chapter 108: Light
“There was no other choice but for the boy’s family to find another boy.
The boy was only four or five years old and was a little mute. After running back home in the afternoon, he kept pulling the adults in the family to go out. But the child was too young and his family thought he was making trouble and locked him up at home.
Until the family of the missing little boy found him, he pulled the adults and ran to a dry toilet on the edge of the village.
When they arrived at the place, the little boy pointed at the pit and cried loudly. The man instantly had a bad feeling.
The man carried the little boy back to the village and called for help. In the middle of the night, more than a dozen grown men worked hard to pull the drowned little boy out of the pit.
The man held back his grief and asked the little boy who led him how his son fell into the pit. The little boy made a pushing gesture.
The man asked who did it, and the little boy pulled the man to the girl's door.
The man asked the girl why she wanted to murder his son, but the girl denied it. The girl's mother also said that they were wrongly accusing her. How could he, a little mute who couldn't speak, prove that his daughter had done something bad just by moving his fingers?
The woman cursed and asked the man for evidence.
The man had no choice but to call the police, but after investigation, he found no physical evidence except the little mute witness.
Moreover, the little girl is still a minor, so there is no way to hold her accountable..."
"It's so scary. How old was she at that time?" Bi Qiaoan felt it was too dark and she was really a little scared.
"I think she was only about six years old at that time. Everyone in the village knew that it was the little girl who did it, but there was no evidence.
Since then, the children in the village have been afraid to play with the little girl. It is said that some young children were frightened and cried after seeing the little girl's sinister eyes. "
Bi Qiaoan was silent after hearing this. This is simply the darkness of the world!
"In that case, the two falls into the water in Qingli Mountain are really not a big deal." When Bi Qiaoan said this, she didn't know what her mentality was, was it irony, relief, or something else. Bi Qiaoan only knew that she was very depressed.
Shen Yanming knew that he couldn't let Bi Qiaoan know these things. Although she had experienced the end of the world, her living environment had always been clean. He was afraid that she would have nightmares at night if she suddenly came into contact with such dark things.
The next day, after getting up, Shen Yanming asked for leave for him and Bi Qiaoan because Bi Qiaoan looked so bad.
"Last night, I kept dreaming about being pushed off a cliff." Bi Qiaoan still felt a lingering fear every time he thought of the scene in his dream.
There was no other way, Shen Yanming could only find a lot of funny variety shows for Bi Qiaoan to help her adjust her mood.
Bi Qiaoan stayed in bed all day, and only recovered fully at night, and took Shen Yanming out for a walk.
The temperature has dropped a bit in the past two days, about 25 degrees during the day and only 17 or 18 degrees at night. Shen Yanming got a long-sleeved shirt for Bi Qiaoan to wear, and the two of them walked around the community.
Bi Qiaoan saw many cute children in the community. She watched them act like spoiled brats in their parents' arms, lay down in the flowers, plucked small flowers and stuffed them into their hair, and ran after kittens and puppies with their short legs, unable to catch up but still giggling...
Bi Qiaoan felt better because not all children were dark. Look, the smiling faces of these children were like little suns, warming her heart.
Shen Yanming sensed the change in Bi Qiaoan's mood. He held Bi Qiaoan's hand tightly and said softly, "In the future, our child will definitely be obedient, cute, beautiful and cool. He will be smart, brave and careful, upright and honest, and he will..."
Bi Qiaoan smiled and twisted Shen Yanming's arm, "You made it sound like the truth!"
Shen Yanming hugged Bi Qiaoan's slender waist and whispered in her ear: "As long as you are willing, I can be with you anytime, as much as you want, and I will satisfy you completely."
Bi Qiaoan felt numb all over, her face flushed with shame, she buried her face in Shen Yanming's chest, and said in a soft voice, "Let's wait a little longer, I'm not ready yet."
Shen Yanming was not disappointed either. He stroked Bi Qiaoan's long hair and said, "Then please spend more time with me, Ms. Bi, just for the two of us."
That night, Bi Qiaoan slept very soundly. She dreamed of a soft and cute little bun, hugging her legs and calling her mom...
The next day, Bi Qiaoan felt that all her energy and spirit had returned after she got up. After having breakfast with Shen Yanming, they both went to work in high spirits.
They have completed the household registration work, and the next step is to organize the paper forms and report the electronic data. Because they were extremely meticulous when registering the household, the final data summary work was not difficult at all.
Bi Qiaoan worked in front of the computer all day and his back and waist ached badly.
Bi Qiaoan stood up and stretched his neck and wrists. After he recovered, he went to the bathroom to wash the cup. Bi Qiaoan planned to come back to make some milk tea, drink something sweet and take a rest.
As soon as he entered the restroom, Bi Qiaoan saw several reminders posted on the wall, such as, please save water, do not defecate in the toilet, please pour the water in your cup into the sewage bucket...
Bi Qiaoan hadn't been to the company for a long time, and he didn't feel this way in the office, but as soon as he entered the bathroom, he found that the company had changed a lot during this period of time.
Bi Qiaoan took a cup of clean water, then moved the cup over the sewage bucket and cleaned the cup with his fingers.
There was already a lot of sewage in the sewage bucket. The black and yellow sewage looked very disgusting. Bi Qiaoan moved his body away and only stretched his arms above the sewage bucket.
Bi Qiaoan followed the instructions on the wall, poured the water used to wash the cup into the sewage bucket, and finally rinsed the cup with running water.
After returning to the office, Bi Qiaoan took out a pack of milk tea from her bag, tore open the package and poured it into the cup, then stood up to get hot water.
After brewing, Bi Qiaoan sat down, holding the cup and taking sips.
Before he had taken a few sips, Bi Qiaoan heard Sister Xu, who was in charge of sanitation, yelling and cursing outside the office.
"What a wicked thing! It's written on the wall: No poop, no poop. Are you illiterate or blind? You actually pooped in the toilet."
Bi Qiaoan was frightened by the sudden yelling, but Sister Xu hadn't finished her scolding yet, "Don't you know that there is a shortage of water now? Can that little stream of water wash away your poop? What an idiot, you are always looking for trouble for me!"
After cursing her fill in the hall, Sister Xu took the sewage bucket to the toilet to flush it.
She has never been so disgusted in all her years of work, but what else can she do? She can't just quit her job, right?
－－－－－－－Off topic－－－－－－－
Let me tell you a little secret. More than ten years ago, there was a seven or eight-year-old mute who pushed a three or four-year-old boy into a cesspool and drowned him.
I have long forgotten the details, but I still remember this incident after all these years...
