Chapter 26 Evil Peppa Pig
Duan Anluo opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say the word "mother".
Lin Wanqiu couldn't help it, she rushed over, hugged Duan Anluo and started crying. The woman who was over fifty years old and still maintained her elegance and demeanor no longer cared about her image. She was just like a mother who was worried and distressed about her child for several months.
Duan Anluo didn't dare to move. How could he coax her? He had never coaxed her before!
His biological mother died early, and when he was a child he missed her he could only look at her portrait, which was beautiful, like a fairy.
He also didn't know that a woman could shed so many tears. It was like a floodgate opening, and every drop could hit his heart, burning it and making it tremble.
Lin Wanqiu cried for a while, venting her grievances. Then she held Duan Anluo's face, feeling more and more distressed. "Why are you so thin? Are you short of money and can't afford to eat?"
Looking behind Duan Anluo, Lin Wanqiu's tears fell again, "You...why do you live in a place like this?"
Her heart was broken.
Duan Anluo took a half step back awkwardly, "I'm fine. Isn't it being repaired? It will be fixed in three days."
"It's just been renovated and people can't live in it."
"Don't worry, the items you buy are all exhibits." Duan Anluo was afraid that a wealthy person like her wouldn't understand, so he explained, "These are samples that the store has put in the display cabinet for customers to see. They've been there for several months, and the store wants to replace them with new ones, so they're selling them. Don't worry, any harmful substances have been removed, and they're still 80% new. At half the price, it's a good deal."
After he said that, Lin Wanqiu felt even more distressed. She took Duan Anluo's hand and said, "Let's go home with Mom."
Duan Anluo grabbed her wrist and said, "I can't go back."
"What are you talking about? That will always be your home. Your father didn't agree originally. He was just angry that you didn't contact your family after you left, and he was heartbroken. It was Mingxuan who persuaded your father to let me come to see you. As long as you stop arguing and get along well..."
"Mom," Duan Anluo finally called out the name that had been lingering on his lips, interrupting her, "You two are family. Going back would only destroy family harmony and make things difficult for you. Don't worry about what happened in the past. Just live your life well as a family from now on and don't worry about me."
Lin Wanqiu choked up again, "You are innocent too. You didn't know before. This isn't your fault, it's the adults' fault. I don't know why we took the wrong baby away."
She chose a high-end hospital for her birth, with each child in a separate ward. She remembers clearly that only two families gave birth that night, and the wards were quite far apart. After realizing the baby had been taken away by mistake, the Duan family sent someone to investigate. Unfortunately, over 20 years later, the hospital had long since been demolished. Even if it hadn't been demolished, the surveillance footage from that time couldn't be found.
What's even more strange is that Duan Mingxuan's adoptive parents were not born in that hospital, and Duan Anluo was not that family's child. Lin Wanqiu only blamed the adults for not taking good care of him. What does a baby know? They are the victims.
Duan Anluo noticed her self-blame and comforted her: "It's not your fault, you didn't do anything wrong."
On the contrary, he has a destiny of continuous good fortune. His adoptive mother is a kind-hearted person. Unfortunately, there is a black line between his eyebrows, which cuts off his good fortune. If it is not removed, his life may be in danger.
Lin Wanqiu wiped her tears, took out the card from her bag, and stuffed it into Duan Anluo's hand. "If you're afraid of your dad, I'll go back and tell him that Mom has some money. Take it and rent a house. I'll come pick you up after I've talked to your dad."
Duan Anluo quickly refused, "I don't need it."
Lin Wanqiu asked sadly, "Don't you even want Mom's money?"
Duan Anluo was afraid that she would cry again, so he quickly explained: "It's not what you think. I don't take your money. I can make money on my own."
"Look at yourself now..." Your complexion is so bad, you are skinny, wearing cheap clothes, and living in such a shabby house. If you could make money, could you still live like this?
After feeling distressed, Lin Wanqiu became angry. "Why are you so stubborn? Will you die if you admit your mistake? Huh?"
Duan Anluo was frightened and trembled. It was so scary!
She was crying just now, how could she change her mind so suddenly?
The problem was that she could still cry and curse at the same time. If he saw it correctly, she subconsciously raised her hand. Did she want to beat him?
Duan Anluo took another step back, unable to afford to offend.
Lin Wanqiu cried even more sadly, tears falling down her face. It had only been a short time and the child had already stopped being close to her. When he was little, he was a soft little ball, and she had raised him in the palm of her hand. Now he was so tall that she had to look up to see him, but he didn't recognize his mother.
"Please don't cry." Duan Anluo was at a loss. He wiped away her tears and comforted her: "Your eyes are swollen from crying, and it won't look good."
Duan Anluo felt like a thief, having stolen the original mother's love. The guilt in his heart made him uneasy. He wanted to tell her the truth, but the words came to his lips but he didn't know how to say them. The word death was too heavy for a mother.
There was also a feeling in his heart that he had been refusing to say out loud. This might be the obsession left to him by his original body, just like the grievance that suddenly magnified in his heart after seeing her just now, and the pain in his heart when he saw her crying.
No matter how well Lin Wanqiu maintained her appearance, a few scattered white hair roots could still be seen at her temples. Duan Anluo's eyes fell on that small, glaring white strand, and he felt a pang in his heart again.
Memories from the past churned through his mind, and he saw many little details from his daily life: his father was very busy, his mother was a stay-at-home housewife, and she had raised him. The mother and son had a close relationship, and these memories, like Duan Anluo's own experiences, were deeply engraved in his mind and influenced his emotions. "Mom, have you been standing all day? Are you tired? I'll take you to dinner first, and then I'll take you home."
"No, your father has urged me several times." Lin Wanqiu originally wanted to take a peek, but she was reluctant to leave after coming here. Seeing how Duan Anluo is living now, she was even more reluctant to leave.
But she also had to consider Mingxuan's feelings. If she didn't go back, she was afraid that Mingxuan would feel uncomfortable.
What she thought was that there was no need to rush and that everything would be fine after Lolo came home. She would also have to comfort Mingxuan when she returned.
She stuffed the card into Duan Anluo's hand and said, "Take the money. Eat more and don't be wronged." Duan Anluo was about to refuse, but before he could say anything, she turned her face and said, "Take it. Don't force me to hit you."
Duan Anluo looked confused, so fierce!
"Okay, I'm leaving." Lin Wanqiu looked at the surrounding environment again and sighed.
Duan Anluo opened his mouth but didn't dare to refuse. "Mom, please be careful on the road."
After Lin Wanqiu left, Duan Anluo felt that the card in his hand was particularly heavy, and more importantly: Mom, you didn’t tell me the password.
Also, what is my ID number? I want to apply for an ID card!
Only with an ID card can you ride the fast train and the big plane in the sky. He really wants to ride them!
Duan Anluo hooked his finger at the air, "Follow her to the Duan family and find a chance to steal my household registration booklet. If you can't steal it, at least write down my ID number. If you do this, I'll give you an extra month of incense."
A gust of wind blew past behind him and he disappeared.
Duan Anluo counted on his fingers, then hooked his finger towards the corner, "You go with me, keep an eye on a man named Duan Mingxuan, and feed him whatever he has. If you do it, I'll give you an extra month of incense."
Looking at the group of furry creatures behind him stretching their necks and staring, Duan Anluo waved his hand, "If you want to go, go ahead. Everyone, join us."
The wind was quite strong this time, and when it blew past, it blew away the corners of Duan Anluo's clothes.
After Lin Wanqiu returned home, she explained to her husband why she was late. "That place is so remote that even cars can't get in. By the time I found him, it was already afternoon..."
Lin Wanqiu's eyes reddened again as she spoke. "I didn't talk to him, I just took a look and came back. He's having a really bad time. His face isn't big to begin with, and he's so thin you can't even feel the flesh. He looks like he's been seriously ill. He's wearing this big, baggy vest I found somewhere... It's so hot, and he doesn't even have air conditioning where he lives."
Her words were full of heartache, and she almost said she wanted to take Duan Anluo back.
Duan Duohai said meaningfully: "You can't feel any fat on your face. You've definitely lost weight."
Lin Wanqiu's expression paused, and she looked at her husband with resentment. Exposing her shortcomings?
Duan Duohai knew his wife too well. He could tell from her red and swollen eyes that she had been crying outside. It was impossible for her to say she hadn't spoken to Duan Anluo. She had rushed back before dinner simply because she was afraid Mingxuan would get suspicious.
But whenever he saw his wife crying, Duan Duohai would lose all his temper and soften his heart unconsciously, "Let's wait and see what Mingxuan has to say."
He paused, then changed the subject, "I sent someone to investigate Mingxuan's adoptive parents and found where they lived before they moved."
Lin Wanqiu asked in surprise: "Why are you investigating them?"
"We know the character of the child we raised. Logically, Anlu wouldn't do those things."
Duan Duohai thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "On the contrary, Mingxuan's adoptive parents have bad behavior. Every neighbor in the neighborhood scolds them. They steal, fight, and commit domestic violence... Especially his adoptive father, he can't hold down a job for more than six months, and he achieves nothing at everything he does. Mingxuan grew up in that kind of environment..."
Duan Duohai didn't continue, but Lin Wanqiu already understood what her husband meant. How strong must the genes be for a child raised in such a family environment to be able to stay clean even in the midst of muddy water?
Duan Duohai said softly, "I'm afraid there's something else going on with the brothers, but I don't have any evidence right now. An Luo did it."
…
After dinner, Duan Mingxuan tossed and turned in bed. He had a feeling that if he didn't do something, the couple would take Duan Anluo back.
In the middle of the night, he dug out a phone number and dialed it. A deep voice came from the other end of the line: "Didn't we agree not to contact each other anymore?"
Duan Mingxuan said anxiously: "Please help me, I have saved a lot of money now."
The other party chuckled: "The Duan family treats you well."
"Duan Anluo is coming back."
"Impossible, he's dead."
Duan Mingxuan gritted his teeth and said, "He's not dead! My mother went to see him today."
There was silence on the other end of the line.
Duan Mingxuan lowered his voice: "I'll give you all my money, about 200,000 yuan. Can you do me a favor?"
"Two hundred thousand can't buy life."
"I'm not trying to kill Duan Anluo. I want three doses of the medicine I gave him before, the one that makes people lose control of their emotions."
The other party replied briefly: "Your money is more than 200,000 yuan, you are lying."
Duan Mingxuan paused. He had taken out two hundred thousand because he was afraid the Duan family would find out he spent money but didn't buy anything, and that would arouse suspicion. He did have some money left, "Then three hundred thousand."
"Four hundred thousand, two doses of medicine. If you want to buy it, come to the place where you first met me at 12 noon tomorrow. I will only wait for you for three minutes."
Duan Mingxuan gritted his teeth and calculated that all the money he had was less than 400,000 yuan, with a shortfall of more than 30,000 yuan.
There was no other way, he opened the online loan app, and his brother came back on the weekend, so he had to buy the medicine.
At this time, the curtains shook slightly, and Duan Mingxuan was startled. He looked carefully and saw nothing. He thought that he must be too nervous.
The next morning, Duan Anluo held the household registration book he had just received and excitedly hugged the little fox and rubbed it against him, making the little fox roll its eyes.
"I'm a fox fairy!" the little fox protested. "I'm the first among the five fairies. Even the people from the Ma family have to address me as auntie! If it weren't for your good looks, I would have thrown you under the table long ago!"
Duan Anluo didn't care about the little fox's thoughts at all. He was immersed in the joy of finally getting rid of his illegal household status.
He had already found out that as long as he had his household registration, he could apply for a replacement document online. Then he could ride big trains and big planes! He wanted to travel from one end of China to the other and then back the other way.
After taking the photos, he asked the little fox to return the household registration booklet quickly so that it would not be discovered.
Women have a stronger sixth sense. Lin Wanqiu always felt that something was wrong at home these two days, but she couldn't tell what was wrong, so she felt uneasy.
She'd never imagined that over thirty spirit beings had quietly gathered in her three-story villa. Some crawled on the ground, some burrowed underground, some perched on the beams... Even a fly that flew in would have its wings spread open to check its gender.
Right on her dressing table, there were three hedgehogs dancing to "Big Banana" with their butts sticking out.
Life is getting better and better. I eat too much after serving the altar, and my balls hurt from being idle.
A few days later, Duan Anluo's house was finally renovated. Except for the room used as a warehouse which remained as it was, everywhere else looked brand new.
Custom-made furniture was delivered one after another, including sofas, tables and chairs, air conditioners, washing machines, two rocking chairs and a small glass coffee table.
He placed the coffee table next to the window so that he could drink tea while enjoying the view outside.
In order to improve the style, Jiang Yuan specially bought a pot of hydroponic spider plant for his master, with golden edges, which was five yuan more expensive than ordinary spider plants.
After buying everything, Duan Anluo's wallet was empty again.
He also wanted to buy a big refrigerator, a computer for Jiang Yuan, and a fish tank to raise a few turtles... Thinking of what netizens often say, "Money is hard to earn, but shit is hard to eat", Duan Anluo admired them. What netizens said was really a wise saying.
However, the more I look at this glass window, the more I like it. In the past, even the most skilled craftsmen could not make something so translucent. This is the benefit of learning knowledge. Yuan'er still needs to study hard. My goal next time is 40 points.
When Han Zhen heard that the renovation was completed, he came to take a look. After Jiang Yuan had his great-grandfather, his life became better.
There was a chess set on the table. Duan Anluo usually played with himself, treating it like Gobang for fun. As they played, they gossiped, "Hasn't Xu Boming from our class been here these past few days? I heard he's pretty sick."
Jiang Yuan was puzzled: "He's a sports guy, so tall and strong, what kind of disease could he have?"
Han Zhen is very popular in the class and is well-informed. "It seems like he has a mental problem."
"How could this be?" Jiang Yuan found it unbelievable. Xu Boming was a typical sunny and cheerful boy, laughing every day, just like Alaska. What could be wrong with his mental health?
Han Zhen was a little worried. They often played ball together and had a good time. "I want to go see him. I heard from my classmates that he's hospitalized in the district hospital. Do you want to go?"
Jiang Yuan thought about the time when he was bullied by a tall guy from another class and Xu Boming helped him. "I'll tell my master about this."
Duan Anluo was lying on the sofa, half asleep. Jiang Yuan leaned over and whispered, "Master, I'm going out for a while."
"Hmm..." Duan Anluo responded vaguely without even raising his eyelids.
Seeing that he had no objection, Jiang Yuan took the car keys and went out with Han Zhen.
When they arrived, Xu Boming was in the ward, making a scene, "I'm not sick! Let me go!"
"Can't you see? Peppa Pig! Pink!"
"It's right there, looking at me, under the window! Look!"
"It smiled! It smiled at me! Oh my gosh! Aaaaaaah!"
Boys of this age are very strong, and he is a sports player, so he doesn't feel tired after playing ball all day. He struggles like a wild boar, and neither his father nor his brother can hold him down.
A strong young man who had never caught a cold in the rain in winter suddenly fell ill. He insisted that there was a Peppa Pig at home, and no matter how he looked at it, he seemed to have a mental problem. When a normal hospital couldn't find the problem, they had no choice but to send him to a psychiatric hospital for examination.
The doctor carefully observed Xu Boming's expression and asked, "Are you sure it's Peppa Pig, not George?"
Xu Boming stamped his feet in frustration, "She's wearing a red dress! George's is blue!"
The doctor nodded and quickly wrote a line on the notebook. The patient was conscious and could even distinguish the colors of Peppa Pig and George's clothes.
Seeing that no one believed him, Xu Boming looked around angrily and saw Jiang Yuan and Han Zhen standing at the door of the ward with a fruit basket, not sure if they could get in.
Xu Boming's eyes lit up. "Han Zhen! Jiang Yuan! Did you see that? That pink pig?"
Han Zhen looked bewildered. "What pig? Are you hallucinating? Why are you so sick?"
Jiang Yuan felt that the magnetic field in the ward was not right. He quietly opened his third eye and saw a pink pig standing under the window. Its head took up one-third of its body, and it had a pair of rabbit ears on top. Its big nose was like a thermos cup poking into its face, with one side bulging outwards.
She was wearing a red skirt, and her two legs, not much thicker than matches, supported her fat body. On her feet were a pair of flat black leather shoes.
Looking at the hand again, three fingers made a perfect cross.
Its appearance is exactly the same as Peppa in the cartoon, but its temperament is completely different from the cute Peppa in the cartoon.
The pink piglet was shrouded in a foul black aura, its mouth clenched in a sinister manner, resembling a twisted monster, or even some wild animal. Jiang Yuan couldn't tell what it resembled.
What's even more terrifying is that there is a black thread connecting it and Xu Boming, which acts like a bond and continuously absorbs the essence from Xu Boming's body.
Jiang Yuan was so frightened that his breathing stopped and he subconsciously hid behind Han Zhen.
The little pig noticed his gaze and turned its head sharply, not expecting the child to see it.
Its scarlet eyes stared straight at Jiang Yuan, and the way it looked at him was like the extra dish the boss gave during dinner. It bared its teeth and threatened: "Kid, don't meddle in other people's business!"
Jiang Yuan closed his eyes in fear and silently chanted in his heart: "Blessings and infinite heavenly master! Amitabha! Grandmaster, no, Grandmaster is sleeping at home."
Han Zhen noticed Jiang Yuan's abnormality and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"
His eyes were already looking towards the window. Jiang Yuan looked like that just now after he had looked there.
Xu Boming also noticed the change in Jiang Yuan. He shouted in surprise, "Jiang Yuan, did you see it? Tell my parents quickly that I'm not sick! They tie me up and give me injections every day!"
Jiang Yuan gritted his teeth, thinking of what his master had said, that if he didn't like something, he had to do it. He wanted to save his classmates, he couldn't be afraid, he had to do it!
Then Xu Boming saw the thinnest and shortest boy in the class, who walked to the window he mentioned with gritted teeth and kicked it.
The kick seemed to hit something solid and bounced back mid-strike. Jiang Yuan stumbled back a few steps, then pinched his waist and said viciously, "Get out of here!"
"Fuck! Brother Yuan is so awesome!" Xu Boming rushed over and wanted to kneel down to Jiang Yuan.
Han Zhen was also stunned. It was the first time he saw Jiang Yuan so fierce. If the atmosphere wasn't wrong, he would have wanted to applaud Jiang Yuan and cheer for him.
Then they saw the domineering Brother Yuan running out, "Run! Help! Help!!"
Because the thing was not scared by Brother Yuan, it was angry and instead chased Brother Yuan and beat him, wanting to bite him to death.
Jiang Yuan was scared, and his first reaction was to run back to find his master.
As he ran, Han Zhen followed suit, and Xu Boming also ran after him. The three energetic teenagers ran like mad dogs. Not only could Xu Boming's family not catch up, but even the pig couldn't catch up.
Then the three of them rode on their electric scooters and left the crowd far behind!
The little pig chased Jiang Yuan all the way to his house and saw the three of them running in one after another. It wanted to follow them in, but was afraid there was a trap.
As clever as it is, it stood outside and shouted: "Boys, come out!"
Jiang Yuan shook his head. He would never leave even if he died. Was he crazy? Going out to die?
The piglet was furious. He looked around and saw a small pile of bricks in the corner. These were left over from the construction. Jiang Yuan wanted to build a flower bed for his master and plant a few roses at the door, so he didn't throw them away.
The piggy used its short, forked hands to laboriously pick up a brick. "Xu Boming, there's no point in hiding. Tonight is the day you die!"
As he finished speaking, there was a loud bang and a brick hit the newly replaced glass.
Jiang Yuan subconsciously looked at Duan Anluo who was sleeping on the sofa. It's over, this pig is finished.
Duan Anluo opened his eyes expressionlessly, turned his head, and looked towards the window. His favorite glass window was broken...
Broken...
Broken...
The author has something to say:
Evil pig: Look at me smashing his glass!
