Time: 1999-2003, August 1, Weather: cloudy summer Pre-note: ['Ghost Well' Case]
"who I am"
"What's my name?"
"Where is this place?"
The world was in darkness. All the light was swallowed up by the darkness. No light could appear in front of us. The whole world seemed to be interpreting darkness itself.
"Home, yes. I remember now. I have a home. Where is my home?"
A female voice echoed from the darkness.
The voice did not contain any emotion, as if it was just a simple question.
"clatter"
“Da da.”
"clatter"
The sound of footsteps emerged, and the world gradually became darker. The scene in front of me was no longer dark, but had some fuzzy shadows.
This is a corridor with square door frames on both sides. All the door frames look the same. The dark walls and bright red door are particularly dazzling in this world.
"clatter"
As the footsteps approached, a moving figure appeared before my eyes.
She was wearing a bright red cheongsam, with her long hair tied up, and walking in the endless corridor.
Her back is very graceful, with a slender waist, long legs alternating under the cheongsam, and her skin as white as mutton fat jade appears from time to time.
The woman never turned around, and only her back could be seen.
All I could see was her walking forward endlessly in this corridor.
"Home"
"Yes, I have a home. Where is my home?"
The ethereal voice echoed in the corridor again. It was a woman's voice. Her footsteps did not stop, and her figure did not turn around.
The bright red doors on both sides moved at this moment.
It seemed as if tiny cracks appeared in the door.
There were countless eyes through the crack in the door, spying on the figure of the woman walking in the corridor. There was greed, doubt, indifference, and passion, but without exception they all watched coldly.
The woman ignored the eyes inside the door and continued walking forward on this dark, endless road.
Suddenly, she stopped.
She stopped in front of a door, stretched out her slender hand and placed it on the door.
"yes"
"This?"
As she exerted force, the door in front of her was slowly pushed open.
March 1, 1999.
This is Dongyun Province, Sancai City, Dongyun University of Science and Technology.
This is a nationally famous school, a top 211 institution of higher learning. Without exception, all those who can come here are the best in their respective schools.
They may be worth tens of millions, or their family conditions may be poor, but no matter what, as long as they graduate from this school, their lives will become magnificent.
Outside the school, next to a snack street.
The woman in bright red stood here, and still only her back could be seen. She stood there, as if transparent, and no one could notice her.
And in front of her.
A girl who was dressed simply but looked good was full of youthfulness. She was very beautiful and exuded a bookish air. She was holding a few books in her arms and looked shy and beautiful.
At this time, I was sitting on a stool at the snack stand with a few classmates around me.
"Han Shi, what do you want to do after graduation?"
Another girl sat on the other bench.
"I want to find a good job first, accumulate two years of work experience, and then switch to a big company."
The woman named Han Shi has clear eyes, revealing her longing for the future.
There is a small birthmark on her neck, but this bright red birthmark not only does not destroy her beauty, but instead adds a hint of unknown charm.
"I have saved a lot of money as a tutor in the past few years. If I work for a few more years, I can bring my parents back to live with me."
"Dongyun Province is so prosperous. My parents have been farming at home all their lives and supporting me in my studies. I want them to live a better life."
Han Shi said shyly, her eyes full of desire for the future.
At the age of 22, she is full of energy and youth.
"Then you don't have to work so hard. You have to be a tutor, work part-time, and write papers and study at school. It's so tiring."
A woman next to her stretched her waist and said with empathy.
"If I'm a little tired, my parents can relax a little."
Han Shi smiled, her eyes curved like crescents, looking very pretty.
“I have saved so much, so much money.”
"I must give them a surprise!"
Several sisters began to joke, "Where is your childhood sweetheart? He waited for you after class every day. You two were inseparable every day. Last time I heard from his roommate that he was going to marry you with all the money he earned."
"They are inseparable everywhere"
Han Shi's pretty face turned red, she lowered her head and argued in a low voice.
"Hehe, why didn't you object to marrying you?"
"Hateful!" Han Shi was embarrassed and annoyed, and waved and patted the other person.
After playing around for a while, she reached out her hand, held the better face, and hope appeared in her eyes.
"He has to work hard too, and then we can make money together, lots of money."
"Then I'll buy a big house and live in it. I'll grow some flowers and he'll do the housework. I want to be with him forever."
She didn't refute her good brother.
The two of them have been together since they were young, helping each other, and their two families know each other, so they can be considered childhood sweethearts.
We went to elementary school together, junior high school together, got into high school together, received acceptance letters, and hugged each other excitedly.
While working, the two wore work clothes, leaned on each other's shoulders, looked at the starry sky, and listened quietly to each other's plans for the future and the vows they made to themselves. Recalling the past, Han Shi's eyes revealed reminiscence.
“Forever and ever.”
A moment later, a van stopped in front of the food stall "My Home"
"Not here."
The woman left, the woman in bright red clothes left, she closed the door, and the laughter and chatter inside the door suddenly died down.
As her steps changed, she continued walking in the dark corridor.
The hidden door in the corridor once again cast a greedy gaze at her graceful back.
After a moment, she paused slightly and stopped at the second door.
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
"yes"
"This?"
March 6, 1999.
This is a remote village, so remote that not many people can find it.
There are no cement roads or asphalt roads here, and even planes are reluctant to fly overhead. Trance and dilapidated are the best ways to describe this village.
The woman in bright red clothes stood here.
Her back was still as beautiful as ever. At this moment, she was facing a few men, standing quietly aside as if watching TV.
"two thousand!"
"How can it be two thousand? One thousand, just one thousand!"
"Eighteen thousand. I only want eighteen thousand for this quality. Do you think you can buy it somewhere else?"
"Five thousand five hundred. If my brother wasn't getting married, I wouldn't have bought it."
"One thousand and seventeen, the lowest one thousand and seventeen!"
"make a deal!"
After some bargaining, the two reached a consensus.
Later, one of them opened the car and picked out a woman from it.
The woman's hands and feet were tied up like a pig. Her pretty face was already stained with tears, but her tears had dried up and she was motionless.
The other man looked at the woman with a rough smile on his face, and held the woman's face with his rough hands.
"From now on, you can be called Zhang Cui. You are the woman of my family!"
After saying that, he opened his mouth, revealing a row of yellow teeth, which were imprinted on the woman's face in the look of horror.
The woman was taken away.
They were dragged and thrown to the corners of the village, their bodies covered in blood from beatings.
During this time, several families left their doors open, and a few pairs of eyes were faintly visible through the cracks in the doors.
The woman looked over with a pleading look.
What he was greeted with was an extremely hot and greedy gaze.
The woman in the bloody clothes left.
She continued walking forward.
Women open many doors.
She saw that the woman named Han Shi escaped at night.
She saw the woman flee to the village to find someone to call the police, but was raped by the man and then sent back to the man's home by the villagers.
She saw the woman being sent to the train station and becoming a complete bitch with broken shoes and rotten crotch.
She saw that the other woman did not choose to escape with her, but instead reported the woman's escape, and was subsequently tortured.
And these are not her home.
"Where is my home?"
"What's my name?"
The woman walked aimlessly, her figure floating in the dark corridor, her voice echoing in my ears.
Her figure is so graceful and yet so lonely.
Until "squeak~"
A voice sounded and the last door opened.
It was pitch black inside the door and I couldn't see anything.
Yes, there is only a dog cage, a stuffy smell, and noisy dog barking.
The woman stood outside the door, watching silently.
After a long while, she raised her foot and stepped in, and then "squeak~"
She opened the dog cage and climbed inside.
Her graceful figure gradually became dirty, and her soft hair gradually became smelly.
She curled up in the dog cage, leaning against the corner.
There was the sound of a dog barking in her ears, mixed with her very faint voice, which sounded like she was talking to herself.
"Where is my home?"
"I"
"Who is it?"
