Chapter 1335 Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid.
Beneath the calm and composed voice lies the sound of a furious and dark rapid heartbeat.
It sounded like a roar, a cry of pain with gnashing teeth, and a helpless whine.
In this heartbeat, she heard her father's calm and hoarse laughter.
"Isn't that what parents are supposed to do?"
Gu Shuo said, "Oh," as if he suddenly understood.
"I forgot, you're just a politician. You treat your own children as mere pawns, with some useful and some useless. How can you possibly understand what this kind of love, whether it's fatherly or motherly, is?"
"No matter how high you climb or how secure your position, you are still just a lowly animal who doesn't understand emotions."
"I never have, and never will, envy you."
The call ends here.
Chu Yang could hear the steady, heavy heartbeat again, each beat beating against her eardrums, driving away all the fear and terror she had felt for so long.
Very safe.
She thought with her eyes closed.
I'm safe.
The phone was handed back to the soldier, who seemed to say something to the person over there. Then, in Gu Shuo's sight, the man hung his right hand, which was still bleeding, and gave him a vicious and hateful smile.
Gu Shuo lowered his eyes, kissed his daughter's hair, and whispered with almost a sigh,
"I'm sorry, Chuyang."
ยท
At that time, little Chuyang didn't understand what that meant.
She quickly immersed herself in the joy of being locked up with her parents.
Her mother hugged her and cried for a long time, then hugged her father and laughed for a long time, and she didn't know what they whispered to each other.
As usual, she nestled in her mother's arms, slept the most peaceful sleep she had in a long time, and had a dream full of sunshine.
In the dream, my brother and uncle were both there. They were still eating, reading, arguing and playing games in that beautiful and warm home.
Nothing has changed.
However, all this came to an abrupt end the moment I opened my eyes.
She was awakened by the crackling sound of beatings, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a disheveled figure being punched and kicked.
Blood flowed from the wounds on their palms, staining the dark and damp ground a hideous red.
The man held the woman tightly in his arms with great difficulty, using his body to withstand every blow.
A tall figure with his back to the girl and a bandaged hand kicked him hard on the head.
Blood rushed out of his hair, staining half of his face red.
He was immersed in the dim shadows, but he still managed to find time to raise his head and glance in the direction of the girl. His eyes were dazed, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. With uncontrollable trembling, he still forced a smile and offered a comforting lip shape.
"Don't be afraid."
He said,
"Don't be afraid."
"ah--"
The girl let out a terrible scream.
Tears kept flowing from her eyes, but there was no cry in her screams.
She just looked at the dark corner and screamed in despair.
The sound was like a baby bird's tender lungs being torn apart, and the sound of blood and tears being forced out of its throat.
She thought that being locked up alone, not having enough to eat every day and listening to the clanging sounds outside was the ultimate nightmare.
But until this time, she discovered an even more terrifying nightmare, a nightmare that could crush her heart and nerves, making her confused and painful, and which began to repeat day after day.
Time flies in prison.
There is no end to the torture.
Until one day, the two people who were curled up tightly and almost as thin as skeletons stopped moving.
