Lin Xi's shoulders seemed to be shaken violently by a pair of invisible but powerful hands, and began to shake violently.
Lin Xi's sobs, which had been suppressed for so long, were like the broken and scattered wind hums in the gale, escaping intermittently from the corners of her slightly trembling lips with difficulty. Every sob seemed to be pulling out a painful memory that was soaked in blood and was unbearable to look at.
"That day, I was just walking slowly back to my room from the bathroom as usual. I really didn't do anything. But that uncle suddenly rushed towards me like a monster, holding a belt viciously, and then hit me hard. I was really scared at the time. I bit my lips desperately and didn't dare to make a sound, but he still didn't let me go."
Lin Xi's body was like a fallen leaf in the wind, shaking constantly, as if the ghostly fear in his memories was gripping him tightly in his hand, and he couldn't break free no matter how hard he struggled.
Her eyes were filled with fear and despair. "At that moment, everything in front of me went dark, and my body felt like it was being stabbed by dozens of needles and knives. It hurt so much. I started calling out for my mom, using all my strength. I thought she would come and save me, calling me 'baby' like she used to. But she ignored me. I called out over and over again, but she just stood there motionless."
Jiang Suisui's little hands were originally patting Lin Xi's back gently, but at this moment she unconsciously clenched her fists, as if this could vent her inner anger.
Li Lin, who was standing aside, had a face that turned red as if it was instantly ignited by the flames of anger. The veins on his forehead bulged out like angry little snakes twisting.
Li Lin's voice became hoarse and rough with extreme anger and grief, and he roared deafeningly in the small space, "You beast! This is simply inhuman! How could they do such a cruel thing to a defenseless child? Are their hearts made of stone?"
Lin Xi seemed to be completely immersed in the abyss of his own horrific memories, and was deaf to all sounds from the outside world.
Lin Xi's eyes were hollow and lifeless as she mechanically recounted the heartbreaking past: "I don't know how much time had passed before I vaguely saw my mother and uncle dressed up beautifully. They walked out of the house, talking and laughing. Then, I heard the door slam shut. The sound was so heavy, like it hit my heart. It hurt, just as much as my body hurt."
Lin Xi's voice was like the broken wind, drifting faintly in this eerily silent room. Every word seemed to be squeezed out by pain from the depths of her soul. "I can't move. My whole body hurts. Sui Sui, it really hurts. I'm so cold and so hot. There's no sound at home. I'm so scared."
Jiang Suisui's eyes were full of pity and reluctance, and her hand fell gently on Lin Xi's back.
Time and again, the rhythm seemed to soothe a heart that was deeply wounded and on the verge of breaking.
"Sister Xixi, don't be afraid, I'm here and I will always be with you." Jiang Suisui's voice was soft and firm, like a glimmer of light in the darkness, trying to penetrate Lin Xi's world shrouded in pain.
Lin Xi's voice was trembling, filled with fear: "I heard them coming back. I was lying on the cold ground, but I couldn't open my eyes."
"My uncle kicked me hard and yelled at me to get up, but I couldn't. He kept calling me 'debt collector' and 'pretentious'. I felt dizzy.
"Then, the fist seemed like a belt, hitting me hard again and again."
"He was like a huge monster. I felt so light. It was like he flung me out and I hit something. It hurt so much. I was so tired. I kept calling for my mom, but she ignored me. I seemed to see my dad coming to pick me up. He smiled at me. I really wanted him to hug me."
"Later, I saw myself lying motionless on the ground, covered in blood. My mother and uncle had sealed me in cement. I don't remember anything after that. It seemed like I had been staying here alone. I only remember waiting for my mother, waiting for her until now."
Li Lin's tears flowed freely like a flood. Her lips trembled as she squeezed out curse after curse from between her teeth: "Beasts! They are worse than pigs and dogs. People like them don't deserve to live in this world. How could they do such a cruel thing? How can a mother watch her child suffer such torture? She doesn't deserve to be a mother!"
Jiang Qi is a man, but at this moment his eyes were red and tears were welling up in them.
In order to facilitate the police's investigation of the scene, Jiang Suisui allowed them to directly see Lin Xi's condition and the truth hidden in the room as soon as they came in.
At this time, the police were so angry that they gnashed their teeth. Most of them had tears in their eyes and clenched their hands, as if they were trying their best to restrain their inner anger.
Jiang Yan looked at his daughter, his once clear eyes now stained red with anger and sadness. His heart was filled with pity and indignation, and a cold aura emanated from his body. He said coldly to the police, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you find out what's going on? You're counting on my daughter for everything?"
The voice was like an icy spike on a cold night, carrying with it unquestionable authority and a protective affection for his daughter.
In this room filled with sadness, Jiang Suisui's arms became Lin Xi's only support.
The anger and grief of the people seemed to have coalesced into a powerful force, determined to seek justice for the eight-year-old girl and to reveal the truth to the world.
Let the sins hidden in the darkness have nowhere to hide, and let Lin Xi's broken soul get some comfort and redemption, break free from this endless pain, and move towards the peaceful place that belongs to her.
Jiang Suisui hugged Lin Xi, her chest heaving violently, and an unprecedented anger burned fiercely in her chest.
The former liveliness in Jiang Suisui's lavender eyes was completely gone, replaced by a strong sense of hostility, as if a ferocious beast was about to attack and hurt someone.
