king vs king

Wang Si walked into the West Room and saw Zhu Xiuyun sitting on the bed looking through an old photo album. The light bulbs on the roof were flickering due to improper contact, and there were many peeling and damaged places on the ceiling and walls. It's bleak.

Looking at the devastation of the house, he shook his head secretly, thinking that it would be better to hand over the money to his cousin and ask her to contract for the renovation. It has been more than 20 years, and the house will collapse if it is not repaired.

Zhu Xiuyun searched for a long time, and finally found an old group photo of teachers and students.She carefully opened the interlayer of the album, but found another photo from behind the group photo.

She handed the photo to Wang Si, and Wang Si approached, took the photo, and sat on the bed.

The photo is a half-length salon photo of a girl, with delicate eyebrows and delicate features, a clear but slightly contrived smile, short ear-length hair, and a white shirt with a plaid jacket, which looks quite retro and fashionable now.

"Who is this?" Wang Si asked, and he couldn't think of anyone he had ever seen who looked like her.

Zhu Xiuyun's gaze fell on the photo, and she said softly, "It's my classmate, named Guo Ying."

Wang Si looked at the photo, then at Zhu Xiuyun, unable to figure out what it meant when she asked him to come, but showed him a photo of such a classmate.

"Have I met him?" Wang Si had no choice but to follow Zhu Xiuyun's words for the time being.

Zhu Xiuyun smiled lightly, shook her head, and said, "She has passed away."

Wang Si was a little surprised, "Is it... sick? An accident?"

Zhu Xiuyun's smile faded, she was silent for a moment, and said, "Suicide."

Wang Si was taken aback, guessing that there must be some story behind this, so he kept quiet and waited quietly for Zhu Xiuyun to tell.

Zhu Xiuyun's fingers were caressing the photo lightly, her gaze drifted away gradually.

"She was the only child in the family at the time. We rarely had only children at that time, and they were girls. Her family's conditions were also good. Her father was a worker who earned more money than our farming families and had fewer children. So The expenses are also low, and she is also very fond of her, and she is well-raised. She is different from our other children since she was a child. She is better than us in food, clothing and play, and we are all willing to curry favor with her. "

"Later, when I went to middle school, everyone became more sensible. Girls liked to play together more and ignored boys. At that time, everyone realized that she was different from others."

Wang Si lowered his eyes and listened, vaguely guessing.

"She treats girls very well. She was the head of the girls at first. After entering middle school, she cut her hair and stopped wearing skirts. She dressed up like a boy every day. Every time a girl was bullied by a boy, he They were the first to stand up for girls and even dared to fight. Boys beat girls when they are not good, and they also know that her family is rich and popular in the village, so they dare not offend, they can only talk Swearing, quietly spreading some rumors, and over time, her reputation as a tomboy, Erweizi and the like spread."

"After the word spread, it slowly came back. All the girls who were close to her were pointed at and laughed at on the road. Gradually, the girls stopped playing with her. Some of them followed the boys who bullied the girl back then and spoke ill of her. In the end, it turned out that everyone isolated her and bullied her, and no one was curry favor with her like before.”

When Wang Si heard this, he was a little confused. In this way, it was a case of campus bullying. Did he commit suicide because he couldn't bear the bullying?

"There is only one girl, and she is still good to her, and no matter how others joke or gossip, I just stay with her every day. Fortunately, Guo Ying is not the kind to be bullied, even though others isolate her, she is not afraid, and I don't care, but if someone dares to provoke her or bully that girl in person, she will definitely fight with him without hesitation for a second."

The more Wang Si listened, the more confused he became, and he couldn't help asking: "What happened later? If that's the case, why did she commit suicide?"

Zhu Xiuyun sighed with a wry smile, and said, "Later, Guo Ying kissed that girl and was caught by a classmate."

Although it was similar to the previous conjecture, Wang Si was still taken aback, "So the rumor is actually true in the end?"

Zhu Xiuyun nodded: "It's true. It might not be true at first, but it's [-]% true after seeing such a thing."

"and after……"

"Later... the bullying and isolation of the two of them by the classmates intensified. The story of the two secretly kissing gradually spread to how they were caught raped in bed, and then it became more and more exaggerated. It's unhearable."

"Everyone is blatantly bullying them. Even with Guo Ying's personality, she is still a girl after all. She can't fight so many punches. Those people may not really want to hit them, but you push them I shoved, and it was hard to avoid being hurt. Originally, some people were on the sidelines, did not participate, and occasionally tried to dissuade them, but after such things spread, whoever spoke up for them would be labeled a homosexual. No one dared to help."

"This situation is getting worse and worse. Every time Guo Ying goes home with an injury in disgrace, her parents love her daughter so much, so they have to ask her repeatedly, but Guo Ying refuses to say if she is dead. So his parents went to the school to find a teacher. Asking, I didn't ask anything from the teacher, but I heard these stories in the students' speech.

"After his parents came to the school, Guo Ying never showed up. The teacher said that Guo Ying was sick and took a long vacation. Her parents took her to other places for medical treatment. Their house was indeed empty the next day. .”

Wang Si sighed softly and murmured, "That's not a disease."

Zhu Xiuyun smiled miserably, and said, "It was sick at that time. After they sent Guo Ying away, the husband and wife came back, went to work and lived as usual, and occasionally visited the hospital, but no one has seen Guo Ying."

"Then... what about that girl?"

"That girl..." Zhu Xiuyun sighed, "Without Guo Ying, there is no one to protect her. Her classmates take pleasure in bullying and teasing her every day, and she doesn't dare to resist. Unlike Guo Ying's family, when a daughter is wronged, her parents don't care about it. Just like this, after graduating from middle school, the family will find her a husband."

Wang Si shook his head helplessly: "With such a reputation in the village, I can't find any good people."

Zhu Xiuyun nodded and said: "Yes, his family tried their best to find a village far away, the farther the better. The girl is also used to being obedient, and finally made an engagement for her, and she agreed without asking. But not long after getting engaged, Guo Ying came back."

"came back?"

"I'm back, and I'm a different person, with long hair, wearing a skirt, quiet and quiet, I'm not the tomboy I used to be, everyone said, this is the cure of the disease"

Wang Si shook his head helplessly, and said, "I'm going to find her a husband's house, too?"

But Zhu Xiuyun said: "No, his parents are different from other families. They are going to send her to the county town to continue her studies, and they want her to go to college."

Wang Si was also a little surprised: "This is very far-sighted."

"After Guo Ying came back, she found out about the girl's engagement, so she went to her house to congratulate her. Her parents couldn't stop her from congratulating her, so she asked them to meet and talk. Unexpectedly, after the meeting, Guo Ying told her , She is just pretending to escape from that hospital, and she wants to take her along with her."

Wang Si couldn't help but lift up his heart. Although he already knew that it was a tragic ending, he still had some vague expectations.

"The girl also agreed to her, and the two made an appointment on the time and place, but at the last moment, the girl went back on her word."

"Why?!" Wang Si couldn't help asking.

Zhu Xiuyun smiled wryly: "Who knows why? She may be worried about the future life of the two girls, she may be afraid that her parents will be gossip in the village, and she may not know how to face their feelings... Maybe she doesn't even know why... In short, she regretted it in the end and didn't go..."

"What about Guo Ying? Are you leaving by yourself?"

Zhu Xiuyun shook her head, "She waited for a long time, and it was her parents who came. Her parents couldn't do anything. They couldn't cure her even if they went to the hospital, so they kept her at home, and didn't dare to send her to school anymore. I had no choice but to find her a husband's house. But her story was spread all over the village outside, and no one wanted it. She was locked up at home every day, just beating and crying, restless for a moment, and everyone said she is crazy.

"Finally, there was an old hunchback in a nearby village. She was over 40 years old and had a limp leg. She was engaged to her. On the day of the wedding, she wanted to run away, but was caught by the man's family. The next day, the man came Reported the funeral, said that when he woke up, he hanged himself in the house, and quarreled that she was not a virgin, and asked her family to refund the gift money. At this time, there was a long quarrel, and finally the money was refunded. Guo Ying's family had no money. Not long after, her mother became seriously ill and died, and her father also sold the house and moved away without knowing where to go."

After Zhu Xiuyun finished speaking, Wang Si was silent for a long time, and asked, "Where is that girl?"

Zhu Xiuyun sneered and said, "Her? She just got married and there is no news."

Wang Si looked down at the photo in Zhu Xiuyun's hand, looked at Guo Ying's smile, and his eyes were full of confidence. He sighed and said, "Then tell me her story...what do you want to explain?" ?”

Zhu Xiuyun was silent for a moment, and said: "At the beginning, I watched her helplessly, step by step, and ruined my life because of...that incident."

Without raising his eyes, Wang Si said lightly, "Do you think it's her fault?"

Zhu Xiuyun paused and said, "No."

Wang Si looked up at Zhu Xiuyun, Zhu Xiuyun said, "But it's not her parents' fault."

Wang Si found it extremely ridiculous: "Forcing her to marry a disabled old man, causing her to be raped and forcing her to death, isn't it wrong? I thought this kind of thing would only happen in costume dramas and period dramas."

Zhu Xiuyun didn't look back at Wang Si, but said to herself: "She is too stubborn. If she listens to her parents and goes to school, who knows what will happen? His parents... are also for her own good..."

"For her good?" Wang Siman felt powerless, "I can't see that what his parents did was for her good."

Zhu Xiuyun let out a long breath and said, "You don't understand. In those days, girls didn't get married well. Not only herself, but her whole family couldn't hold their heads up."

Wang Si sneered, "You raised your head like this now?"

Zhu Xiuyun finally raised her head and met Wang Si's eyes, "I told you about her, I didn't want to argue with you about it."

Wang Si said coldly: "Then what do you want to say?"

Zhu Xiuyun frowned slightly, and said, "Because I know about her... so... I don't want you to... follow her old path..."

Wang Si smiled bitterly and said, "If you don't force me to marry a disabled person, I won't follow her old path."

After hearing this, Zhu Xiuyun looked away again, and said in a low voice: "At the beginning, when you were told...that you didn't know anything about those bosses, I was in a hurry...because...because I knew what would happen..."

Wang Si shook his head helplessly, and said: "The times are different, and I am also different from Guo Ying...and... part of her tragedy is because of that time, and the other reason is her parents' selfishness, and that Girl's selfishness."

Zhu Xiuyun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "Yes, she is too selfish... If she could have walked with Guo Ying, it might not have been the result."

Wang Si looked at Zhu Xiuyun and said, "If you can think that way, you should also understand me and Wang Wei, right?"

Zhu Xiuyun's eyes were a little dull, she raised her eyes to look at Wang Si, and said, "Guo Ying is dead, but you are now... but you are like this... I don't know... This is another chance God gave me... Or give me My retribution..."

Wang Si was a little puzzled, "Retribution?"

"I...is that girl."
