The next day, Lin Dan got up at four o'clock as usual to steam the community rice, and then disturbed the entire Liuxing Village. The neighbors soon turned on the lights, dogs barked, chickens crowed, children cried, and adults scolded. It was very lively. Kang Shaojie and the other two were also awakened by the smoke. They rubbed their blurry eyes and ran over to help. They were not looking for the twenty dollars a day, they just wanted to help a group of little girls.
This time, Lin Dan did not refuse. She took the opportunity to pull Kang Shaojie out of the yard alone.
"Are you afraid of the dark? Why don't I believe it?" Kang Shaojie held up a flashlight and shone it around.
"I'm not afraid of the dark. I pulled you out on purpose." The Lin family's house was very old, and the toilet was built outside the yard. Lin Dan found an excuse that "he was afraid of the dark when going to the toilet" to trick the tall boy out alone.
"Why did you pull me out?" Kang Shaojie looked interested.
"I want to ask you for a favor. I will explain the whole story to you later. Now don't ask anything. Can you just do as I say? If not, forget it. I will find another way." Lin Dan said seriously.
"Of course. You've come to me for help with great difficulty, how can I refuse?" Kang Shaojie nodded without thinking. He didn't even realize it himself, but in just a few days, he had developed an extraordinary trust in this little girl.
"I'll go out on my bike first, and you guys can go out forty minutes later. If you see my bike on the side of the road, call me, and then we can go to school together. Is that okay?"
"Is it that simple?" Kang Shaojie, who had originally planned to do his best to help, couldn't help but reveal a disappointed expression.
"It's that simple." Lin Dan nodded confidently.
"Okay then. We were originally planning to send you to school in a three-wheeled pickup truck today. I'll find an excuse to fool the director later."
"It's okay. I've already thought of a reason for you. Go to Liao's house later and order the vegetables and meat you need for the day after tomorrow. Pay the money and have them deliver them to the stall in town at 4:30 the day after tomorrow. Otherwise, if you go to buy vegetables after a day of classes, the vegetable market will be closed long ago, and there will be no fresh ingredients for you to sell."
"That's right! If the ingredients are not fresh, it will cause big problems!" Kang Shaojie patted his forehead and sighed: "Bland, you still understand!"
"You can ask his family to reserve more meat for you, and less vegetables. I have fresh vegetables in my field that I can sell to you. It's better to keep the vegetables in the family, don't you think?" Lin Dan deliberately reminded him.
Kang Shaojie couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He pinched the girl's tender face and said sincerely, "Dan, you are so cute. Okay, brother will definitely not let the fat water flow into other people's fields."
The Liao family got up earlier than Lin Dan and drove to the city to deliver vegetables at three o'clock. At this moment, the lights in the house were on. When Kang Shaojie told them about ordering vegetables and meat, the program crew followed them. Lin Dan hurriedly tied the steamed community rice and pots, stoves, buckets, ceramic basins, etc. on both sides of the back seat of the bicycle, and tied an extra shovel, and hurried out the door.
It was still dark at this time, so she tied a flashlight to the handlebars to use as a headlight, which was quite convenient. When she rode to a secluded forest, she saw a dark spot on the road, like a tree blocking her way. Lin Dan immediately slowed down and rode closer, only to find that this was not a tree, but a series of branches with lush leaves. It looked large, but was actually very light and could be kicked away with just a few kicks. She parked her bike on the side of the road and bent down to clear the obstacles, but she didn't expect something sharp to press against her lower back. A malicious voice whispered in her ear: "Don't shout, come with me to the woods, or I'll stab you to death!"
Lin Dan slowly raised her hands, seeming to be very scared. However, if the people holding her hostage could see her face, they would find that her expression was particularly cold. Early this morning, through the footprints outside the wall, she has determined that there are three gangsters who intend to climb over the wall and enter her house, and apart from Ren Zha and his men who she had beaten up, there are probably no other suspects.
She would go to the school to sell meals before dawn every morning. As long as Ren Zha wanted to take revenge on her and find out about her situation, he would never miss this great opportunity. And now he has indeed appeared, but what about the other two people?
After entering the forest, Lin Dan listened carefully and soon distinguished the sound of footsteps on branches in front of her. The two men must have already chosen the place to commit the violence and were waiting for her.
"What do you want to do?" she asked deliberately.
“I’ve said before, if you can’t kill me that day, I will rape you and then kill you! You used to be so arrogant, why aren’t you arrogant anymore? The whole Taohua Town knows that I drove someone crazy, and you still come to mess with me after knowing that, you’re really awesome!” Ren Zha put the dagger against Lin Dan’s neck, his tone very vicious.
"You never said anything about raping first and then killing." Lin Dan corrected him seriously.
Ren Zha only thought about it in his mind and really didn't say that. He couldn't help but choked. He was about to cut Lin Dan's neck to teach her a lesson, but his wrist was grabbed, and then his whole arm went numb. Then he was hit hard in the chest, causing his heartbeat to suddenly become disordered.
Ren Zha is like a heart. The sick person was smoking. He fell to the ground, twitching, completely losing the ability to resist. Two faint exclamations came from not far away, but were drowned out by the chirping of birds and the rustling of the wind. Lin Dan pretended that he heard nothing, picked up a dagger and cut two kudzu vines, tied up Ren Zha's hands and feet, took off his socks and stuffed them into his mouth, then went back to the roadside to get the shovel he had prepared in advance.
"You were not yet fourteen years old back then, so it was okay for you to drive someone crazy," she leaned over to look at Ren Zha and said slowly, "This gave me an inspiration. I was not yet fourteen either, so I decided to kill you."
When she said this, there was no emotion in her eyes or tone that a human should have, as if she was just announcing a very ordinary decision.
Ren Zha kept shaking his head, and his pupils, which were always filled with anger, finally showed signs of anger. A look of fear and pleading. He was a ruthless man, but Lin Dan at this moment was not even a human being. She completely released the darkness in her heart and turned into a beast.
Lin Dan raised the iron shovel and hit Ren Zha on the head. The numbing sound of bones cracking echoed in the forest, and Ren Zha's head was broken and bleeding, looking miserable. But this was only an appearance. In fact, Lin Dan controlled his strength very well. He only broke Ren Zha's nose bridge and made him bleed from the nose. She kicked him into a pile of rocks, then raised the iron sledgehammer and hit Ren Zha's head hard again and again. The bang bang bang sound echoed repeatedly in the mountains and forests, like the buzzing of a death knell.
The two people hiding in the dark didn't dare to show their heads at all. If you smell carefully, you can even smell a faint smell of urine. taste.
Although Lin Dan seemed to be ruthless, he had actually discovered that there was a stone next to Ren Zha's head, which was just a few centimeters higher than the tip of Ren Zha's nose. When he hit it with a shovel, the sound was very loud, but it only hit the stone and did not hurt anyone at all. But Ren Zha, who was in fear, didn't notice anything at all. When he saw the iron shovel coming towards his face, he fainted immediately.
Lin Dan hit him dozens of times before stopping, then pulled the socks out of Ren Zha's mouth to prevent him from suffocating. After that, he dug a hole nearby, kicked him in, and filled it with soil. Ren Zha's feet were completely buried, leaving only his upper body and head. He woke up slowly, but was afraid that Lin Dan would hit him on the head again, so he could only hold back his trembling and lie in the pit pretending to be dead.
The two people hiding in the dark didn't dare to move. In order to prevent Lin Dan from hearing the sound of their teeth fighting, they blocked their mouths with their fists. The three of them were pretending to be dead, and they were eager for someone to appear on the road, interrupt Lin Dan who was committing the crime, and rescue them from the abyss. Only when they truly face death do they realize how cruel this world is. There are so many people who are more vicious than them, and they don’t know when they will run into the tip of the knife.
Time passed slowly, and as the three became more and more desperate, the sound of a car engine was heard from the side of the road. Lin Dan stopped filling the soil and turned to look outside the forest. After a while, the car stopped and a man's voice shouted, "Dan, I saw your bike. Where are you? What are you doing?"
Lin Dan inserted the iron shovel. She walked into the mud, patted the dirt on her clothes, and replied calmly: "I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be there soon." She walked away slowly on the dead branches and leaves, not worrying at all that the people on the roadside would come in to check.
Yes, what is there to worry about? If she can kill the person and cover up the crime, that would be the best. But if she can't, it doesn't matter. She is only thirteen years old anyway, and she won't be held responsible for killing someone. What kind of bullshit laws are these? Is it the Scumbag Protection Act for Minors? That’s why there are more and more people like Ren Zha in society. What should we do with those well-behaved children who don’t know how to resist? Who will protect their rights? The victims of juvenile criminals are often also minors. The criminals escape punishment, while the victims live in the shadow forever...
Thinking of this, Lin Dan's mood became very bad. Fortunately, she had dark skin, and no one could see anything unusual about her under the cover of night.
Burglary, robbery, rape. This was not the first time that Ren Zha had done such a thing. A young girl in Gaojia Village had fallen victim to his murderous hands. However, even if the family reported the case, it was of no use. The police only detained Ren Zha for two days and then released him. At that time, he was not yet fourteen years old and did not bear criminal responsibility. However, the girl who was hurt by him could not accept the reality and went crazy. Criminals are protected but victims have no way to seek justice. This world is too absurd.
Well, since the law cannot punish such a person, Lin Dan will give him a taste of his own medicine. She also wanted him to experience the feeling of "crying to the heavens and the earth for help but getting no response".
When Lin Dan came out of the woods, Kang Shaojie and others had already moved all her things onto the pickup truck. They drove towards the school under the cover of night. After a long time, two people hiding in the dark rushed to the pit and dug out Ren Zha, who was mostly buried in the soil. They were so happy to find that he was not dead that they almost cried.
"Lin, Lin Dan is also in school. If she sees that I am not dead, she will definitely find a way to kill me. I am already eighteen years old and I cannot beat her. You guys help me get some money. I want to run away." Ren Zha lay on the ground, gasping for breath, like a half-dead dog.
The two nodded repeatedly, but they were also terrified in their hearts. Lin Dan is still in school, and they see her everywhere. Whenever they think of her hitting people on the head with a shovel, they get so scared that their legs go weak.
