The Ultimate Theory of Snake Syndrome
Chapter 1
In the early morning of dawn, the sky is gloomy, the dark clouds are like splashed ink, and the moist air has a musty smell.
What a nasty weather.Chu Li frowned, she hated rainy days, and even more hated the darkness before the rainy day.The black color like splashed ink, like the tail of a poisonous snake, pierced into the deepest part of her heart—the place where the sun was not visible.
An indelible boredom.
It has been more than a month since I came to this small village, and Chu Li is still unable to adapt to the life of the villagers.The tranquility of working at sunrise and returning home at sunset, for her who is used to the life of the colorful capital, is so boring that it makes people sick.
The endless yellow land, and the unknown wild flowers and grasses floating on the ridges of the fields seem to be calling for souls in the wind under the gray black before dawn.
Walking step by step on the path in the field, Chu Li left footprints of different shades on the soft soil.
The quiet surroundings before dawn made people crazy, the night had not yet dissipated, and the empty fields were silent with a cold breath.
Chu Li carried the medicine box on her shoulder, and she began to regret it.Why did she accept the entrustment of the villagers and walk thousands of miles to see a doctor?Does she look like such a good person with medical ethics?
Ha ha.
Chu Li smiled softly, the soft and cool laughter cut through the silence, like a stone thrown into the lake, causing ripples.
If she, Chu Li, was a good person, wouldn't those old lunatics in the capital angrily pierce the sky?If it wasn't for those old men who accidentally discovered that she deliberately tampered with during the operation, how could she be pushed out to this country by the joint name?
She prefers to use medical skills to kill people rather than to heal patients. Isn't it more interesting to use a pair of invisible hands to stop evil within the scope of the moral bottom line?
If it weren't for her excellent performance in the past, she might have been deprived of her qualifications to practice medicine.Squinting her eyes slightly, Chu Li raised her slender and white right hand and stretched it towards the sky. Her five fingers with well-articulated joints were straight and strong, and the fine light and shadow before dawn fell through her fingertips to her eyes, reflecting a deep pool that could not be seen to the bottom.
The road was not close, and Chu Li walked slowly but patiently.She is an extremely patient person, cautious and shrewd.So when her mentor was rounding the room for a doctor who accidentally asked for leave, he could hardly believe that his most proud disciple had tampered with the surgery.
Inconspicuous traces, but they cannot be hidden from the mentor who has practiced medicine all his life.
Seeing through her disguise at a glance, the upright and selfless mentor directly submitted her to the hospital.If it weren't for the fact that there is no definite evidence, those self-righteous old things will definitely kill her.
why did you do this?The mentor came to see her off before she left, and asked her sadly.
Chu Li looked at her teacher's pale hair on the sideburns, her eyes flickering as cold as water, she knelt down in front of her teacher seriously, and kowtowed to him three times.The dark vermilion blood stained her forehead red, but she didn't frown.
"Just as if the master didn't accept me as a disciple who is not talented, after this kowtow, our relationship between master and apprentice will be severed." Her words were cold and without warmth, just like that dawn morning, heart-warmingly cold.
The senior brother rushed up and gave her a fist. The man who had admired her for many years, the man who had always been elegant and demeanor, was rarely angry.
"Do you really have a heart?" Senior Brother suppressed his anger, his eyes flushed red.
"I don't have a heart. So, forget me, and you will be happy." Chu Li touched her burning and painful cheeks, and said with a faint smile.
"You have taken care of me all these years, and this punch is my repayment to you."
Chu Li didn't look at the old and the young under the eaves before dawn, and left the capital with a dilapidated medicine box on her back.The place where she lived for 23 years.
The rain fell silently, hitting Chu Li's body like beans, interrupting her memories.
Forgot to bring an umbrella.Chu Li sighed, she has been unable to raise her spirits lately, obviously yesterday the Aunt Su next door reminded her that it is the rainy season and she needs to bring an umbrella when going out.Fortunately, she went to the shop in the village to buy a blue oil umbrella last night, but she dropped it before going out.
The rain was not heavy, and Chu Li's hair was slightly wet, cool and soft.Trekking all the way, Chu Li saw a two-story building standing alone in front of the small hill in the misty rain.
Mottled fiery red walls, creepers wantonly surround the building, the green of early spring has not yet unfolded, and the withered yellow vines are swaying with the wind and rain, looking disgusted and ferocious.
According to the villagers, this was originally the center of the town, but as time went by, it gradually became deserted.The villagers moved out one after another, leaving only a few sparse families here.
Is anyone home?Chu Li walked to the small building, grabbed the brass lock in front of the house door, and knocked the door.
who is it?
After a while, a timid and weak voice came, the cool voice was like fireworks blooming in the night sky, faintly scattered in the rain and fog.Chu Li's voice paused in the air, and the cool voice made her feel in a trance, as if her arrival had disturbed the originally peaceful life.
"I'm a doctor, and I'm here to treat patients here." Chu Li agreed with a soft voice.
"Come in." The door opened with a creak, and looking up, Chu Li saw a woman in a white nightgown.The woman coughed lightly, her fair face was flushed abnormally.
Chu Li followed the woman into the house.
The decoration in the house is old. Although the tables and chairs in the hall are made of high-quality nanmu, they are all grayed out due to the age.After the woman walked into the hall, she pointed to the chair beside her and motioned her to sit down.
The woman said her name was Ni Ruo, she had been weak since she was a child, and she moved to the town last year.One of her problems is coughing, especially in the early spring every year, the lingering becomes more and more severe.In the past few days, I have suffered from some cold, and I have a severe cough.
After hearing from the villagers that a new doctor had arrived in the town, she asked someone to find Chu Li.The woman's words were simple and clear, and she looked flimsy, but Chu Li had a strange feeling, like a conversation separated by a layer of gauze, which was vague and unreal.
After a simple examination, Chu Li prescribed medicine for her and took it from the medicine box.After ordering the usual medication and collecting the consultation fee, Chu Li got up to leave.
The rain has not stopped yet, and the drowsy sky has no end in sight.Chu Li walked out of the door and sighed softly.She even forgot to ask the owner for an umbrella.
Turning her head to look at the closed door, Chu Li hesitated for a moment, and left in the rain.She is used to being alone and has no habit of disturbing others.
If things pass like this, maybe there will be nothing that happens later, but there is no if.
A week later.
Dawn of the fourteenth of March.
That early morning at dawn, Chu Li remembered it very clearly.The gray sky before dawn made her suddenly feel like going out of the room to watch the sunrise.
The most suitable place to watch the sunrise in the small town, Chu Li thought about it, and she found that it was the hill where she went to see Ni Ruo's doctor that day.
Just do what you want, Chu Li has always been like this.After closing the door, she walked directly towards the hill.
Walking all the way, admiring the surrounding field scenery all the way, Chu Li is in a rare good mood.With the soft soil under her feet, she is at ease and relaxed.
The wonder of life is that there are many things that we cannot predict.Just like the people in your life, someone is destined to pass by, and someone is destined to meet.
On the top of the small hill, Chu Li saw Ni Ruo again.
With fluttering long hair and white clothes like snow, Liu Rumeng standing on the edge of the cliff on the top of the mountain seems to be running towards the white clouds in the sky, and seems to be going away with the wind.
The wind at that dawn was very cool, Chu Li couldn't forget it.
She witnessed Ni Ruo pushing another woman down the hill with her own eyes.The woman's exclamation pierced the dawn night sky, pierced Chu Li's eardrums, and penetrated deep into her heart.
Panicked, she didn't notice the stones under her feet, staggered and almost fell, alarming Ni Ruo who was standing on the edge of the cliff.
Ni Ruo turned her head, she frowned, her clear voice was completely different from the timid and weak one when they first met, but rather cold:
"You shouldn't be here."
Ni Ruo who walked up to Chu Li exuded a faint fragrance.Chu Li smelled the indifferent fragrance, and opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she couldn't.
The delicate fragrance was jasmine, and she lost consciousness.That was the last time Chu Li saw the sunrise.Before she lost consciousness, she saw the fiery red sun rising slowly from behind Ni Ruo, the extremely gorgeous light, just like the cool water in Ni Ruo's eyes at that time, beautiful and dazzling.
Is it true that the more beautiful things are, the more poisonous they are?Just like the fragrance, it smells refreshing, but it is a kind of drug.
When she woke up, Chu Li felt exhausted, all she could see was the mottled iron window and the cold moonlight outside the window.
"you're awake?"
Ni Ruo, who was dressed in white, sat in front of the bed, her eyes fell on Chu Li, indifferent and distant.
Chu Li propped up her wrists and sat up from the bed with great effort, but she seemed powerless.She was sensitive to find that she was drugged.It is a drug commonly used in hospitals to control people who are insane.Calmness and inability to resist.
"You drugged me, afraid that I would report you?" Chu Li frowned, annoyed and angry.
Ni Ruo raised her eyes, there were too many emotions in her pitch-black eyes, which seemed to be sorrowful and helpless.
"Why you?" Ni Ruo sighed faintly, like a white feather brushing against Chu Li's heart.
The anger in his heart was extinguished.Staring at Ni Ruo's eyes as deep as ink, Chu Li's heart instantly ached uncontrollably.
"You shouldn't have come." Ni Ruo seemed to mutter to herself.
Chu Li clenched her fist unconsciously, she actually wanted to heal the indifferent sadness in Ni Ruo's eyes.Absurd and ridiculous!Chu Li tried her best to suppress the weird thoughts that suddenly sprouted in her heart.
Seeing Ni Ruo three times, Chu Li felt different each time.Vague and unreal, cold and sharp, sad and indifferent, which one is the real Ni Ruo?Maybe it was her, maybe it wasn't.It's just that at this moment, Chu Li felt that the current Ni Ruo was more real, and no longer the feeling of showing her flowers in a fog.Ni Ruo stood in front of her alive, alive and beating with the breath of life.
That's right, she remembered what was the strange feeling in her heart when she first met Ni Ruo.Ni Ruo made her dialogue feel too stiff, a numb and lifeless taste.Therefore, she always felt uncomfortable, and the person in front of her was clearly in front of her, but it seemed that there was a layer of gauze that couldn't be lifted.
"Why did you kill someone? Who is that woman?" Chu Li asked, she should be afraid, but facing Ni Ruo, her curiosity was stronger than her fear.
However, Ni Ruo did not answer her question.She gave her water and food, then left her alone in the room.
Before leaving, Ni Ruo told her that she could move around the entire second floor.Of course, only at night.Because, before dawn, Chu Li always couldn't resist the drowsiness caused by the medicine, and fell into a deep sleep.
, Stockholm Syndrome ([-])
City of Prisoners ([-])
Time passed like water, Chu Li couldn't remember how long she had been here.
The entire second floor was sealed off by huge iron pillars. Except for a small window the size of a washbasin under the ceiling in the bedroom and the study next door, the rest of the place was surrounded by layers of walls, so you couldn't see the outside.The entire second floor was like a closed box, trapping Chu Li for life.
At night, looking up in the bedroom, you can occasionally see the moon in the sky.This is the only channel through which Chu Li can contact the outside world.
It's not that Chu Li didn't think about running away, but she couldn't find any chance, nor could she find any tools to help her leave.Because of taking the medicine, her body has been in a state of fatigue for a long time, not to mention the threat of force to get Ni Ruo to let her out, it is extremely difficult for her to walk a few more steps.
Ni Ruo would come regularly every night to deliver meals and drinking water. When she came, she always looked at her quietly or looked at the moonlight outside the window.Occasionally, Ni Ruo would chat with her about some irrelevant things, but she doesn't seem to be a person who is used to chatting, and she rarely talks.
However, even with just a few words, Chu Li found that Ni Ruo had a wide range of knowledge.Ni Ruo can tell a thing or two about the customs and customs of the world, and it is obvious that she has received a good education.This made Chu Li even more curious about Ni Ruo, why would a well-educated person commit murder?
It's another night.
Ni Ruo's expression was very sad, she did not put down the meals and food and leave as usual, but sat down beside her, holding her chin in a daze.
After a long silence, when Chu Li thought she would not speak, Ni Ruo sighed quietly, and she asked Chu Li a question.
"You said, why do people still struggle to survive when they know they will die?"
Chu Li stared at Ni Ruo's eyes that were as deep as pools of water, and remained silent.
This question is too profound, Su Li has never thought about it, but she is afraid to think deeply.
Perhaps, Ni Ruo didn't want her to answer. She raised her eyes to look at the silver-white moonlight falling from the window, and said lightly: "You said, is it because people are not willing to live? Not willing to come to this world for nothing like this." ?”
Chu Li couldn't answer Ni Ruo's question, she tightly grabbed the clothes around her heart, and closed her eyes in pain.
Are you not reconciled?Because he was not reconciled, he couldn't die happily.
The gray memories of her childhood were like a tide flooding Chu Li.
"Why don't you die? Your mother is just a singer, what qualifications do you have to enter the Ru Chu family? If it weren't for you, how could I be abolished as the head of the family?" Chu Li's brother pointed at her nose , scolded viciously.
"If it weren't for how talented you are in medicine, you could inherit the medicine of the Chu family, you would be worse than a dog." The father coldly swung his whip to beat her body, "Go to practice! Go! Go! "
"I didn't give birth to your daughter, so don't come to me again." The mother said indifferently, leaving her back as she gradually went away.
Painful, unable to breathe, suffocating.
The uncontrollable pain of nail piercing into the palm of the hand made Chu Li curl up her body uncontrollably.The sudden pain engulfed her consciousness like a flood. Apart from the uncontrollable pain, it was still pain.
"Hand out."
Just when she thought that this pain would continue endlessly, a cold voice came from her ears, but it was like a life-saving straw that woke her up from the awareness of pain.
hand?
Chu Li stretched out her right hand unconsciously, and then she felt her wrist being held by Ni Ruoweiliang's fingertips, and then a deeper pain pierced into the fingertips, but this pain brought an abrupt end to the pain in her heart and body.
Looking up, Chu Li saw that Ni Ruo was holding her wrist with her right hand, and at the tip of her left finger was a small silver-white needle.
There was no pity or sympathy in Ni Ruo's clear eyes, she just stared at her quietly, but this kind of staring made the darkness deep in Chu Li's heart feel warm.
"I only know how to help you in this way. It's also poison. Whether you use it or not is your choice." Ni Ruo said as few words as before, but she understood the meaning clearly.
Your poison, my good medicine, that's probably what I said.
This night, Ni Ruo didn't leave, she sat by the bed and told her various stories.Ni Ruo said, when you are unhappy, just listen to the story.The characters in the story make you forget that you are really yourself.
Her voice was clear and light, her dark eyes were deep and bright, and her intermittent voice quietly blended into the night, falling into the bottom of Chu Li's heart, the depth that she had never opened to anyone.
Ni Ruo's stories were not all exciting, but Chu Li listened carefully.Perhaps Ni Ruo's words are correct.Into the story, Chu Li found that the pain that had tortured her for a long time in the past gradually softened and dissipated.
Time passed silently, who would have guessed what would change at this moment, and what would it mean?
"It's almost dawn. Let me tell you one last story." Ni Ruo raised her head and glanced at the gray and white light from the window, staring at Chu Li's eyes, seemingly thoughtful.
This story was much more boring than the previous ones, but Chu Li listened more seriously than ever before.
"The owner of the story is a girl. She has been bound in a room that cannot see the daylight since she was born. Her mother said that she is her only one, so she has to use various methods to protect her, and the way of protection Just don't let her leave the room for half a step." Ni Ruo said eloquently.
"The girl's life is simple and boring, but she doesn't resent it. When she was six years old, the girl's mother taught her to read and write, and bought her a room full of books to pass the time. There are many books to read, and she I am grateful to my mother, even if she is confined in a small space, even if she yearns for the outside world."
"18 years passed like this, until one day, the girl who never stepped out of the room saw a stranger other than her mother. This person was invited by her mother to teach her painting and playing the piano, a person who was one year younger than the girl my daughter, Shen Su."
"The girl was very happy. It was the first time she had a friend of the same age. However, the girl's happiness and happiness did not last long, because she was surprised to find that her mother fell in love with this woman who was her age. And madly in love."
"It was only after a long time that she realized that the reason why her mother loved Shen Su to the point of madness was because she was the daughter of the man she loved the most. But the girl was actually an orphan, and the mother adopted her only because her eyes had a glint in her eyes. The man's shadow."
"If the meaning of existence is an illusion, then why do we exist? The girl asked herself, but there was no answer." Ni Ruo's voice was cool, like the lines drawn by a brush on paper, light and faint.
"It would be a good thing if the story ended here." Ni Ruo said slowly: "But the story is not over yet, we can't guess the ending of the story, often because we are involved in it, get stuck in it, and can't find the exit. "
"Shen Su rejected her mother for a reason that the girl couldn't think of. Shen Su said that she fell in love with the girl. If the mother was only rejected by Shen Su, maybe she would not have turned into the madness that followed. However, how can there be so many in the world? if?"
At this point in Ni Ruo's story, she paused.She asked Chu Li, is the story crazy and boring?At this moment, Ni Ruo's eyes were blurred, and the gray sky slightly appeared in the dark eyes outside the window, as if she had fallen into deep memories.
Chu Li didn't know how to answer.In the end, she just shook her head slightly.It's not that I don't want to answer, but that I can't answer.
This story, not a story.She had guessed that Ni Ruo was the girl in the story.
"What happened afterwards?" Chu Li asked after a while.
"The mother found out that Shen Su fell in love with the girl, and she wanted to kill the girl and imprison Shen Su, so that Shen Su, like the girl, would stay in the house where she lived forever. During the entanglement between the mother and Shen Su, the girl escaped. "
"On that night of running away, the moon in the sky was very round and bright, like the light guiding the girl in the darkness." The corners of Ni Ruo's mouth curved slightly, and her crystal-clear eyes shone brightly.
"Later, the girl changed her name and identity in the outside world, and made a living by writing in the city. The meager income barely makes ends meet."
"She thought she would not return to the place where she lived. However, two years after she left, by chance, she saw news about her mother in the newspaper. The girl's mother passed away. The newspaper also left a search for her daughter. According to the news, it is for the mother to be buried in time. People in the country are superstitious. When a relative dies, it is necessary for the children to die, otherwise they will become lonely ghosts."
"The girl came back to see her mother?" Chu Li couldn't help interrupting Ni Ruo.
Ni Ruo smiled shallowly, and the soft smile was full of sarcasm.
"The girl came back not to die for her mother, but to confirm whether the mother who wanted her to die was really dead."
"Her mother didn't know that what she did to the girl made the girl's mind abnormal, and the girl suffered from paranoid schizophrenia. In countless delusions and hallucinations, the girl killed her mother. "Ni Ruo's voice was full of cold hatred, which made Chu Li's heart suddenly shrink.
"The girl can't fall asleep at night. Only at dawn, when the sky lights up, can she fall into a deep sleep. The doctor said that to cure the disease, you must cut off the root of the disease, which is the knot in the heart."
"The girl came back to the village for medical treatment? She shouldn't have come back." Chu Li sighed quietly, she didn't understand why she said that at that moment, she just felt sorry for the girl involuntarily.
Ni Ruo shook her head, staring at Chu Li with soft eyes: "You are a good person and smart enough. Because you know how to let go."
Ni Ruo paused for a moment and continued the story.
"The girl returned to the village she fled from, but what awaited the girl back was something she never expected. Shen Su, the man who said he loved her, drugged her and imprisoned her just like her mother. she."
"Shen Su said that after the girl left, she was imprisoned by the girl's mother. In order to wait until the girl came back, she endured it for two years, and finally found a chance. When she persuaded her mother to take her to see the sunrise, she took her mother Pushed off the cliff."
"The road up the mountain in the village has been in disrepair for a long time, and it is very common to stumble and fall off the cliff. No one has linked the mother's death with Shen Su who returned to the village."
"Shen Su told the villagers that she had been kidnapped and trafficked by the bad guys, and escaped with great difficulty. In the end, as a friend of Shen Su's daughter, she arranged for her mother's burial and posted a missing person notice in the newspaper. "
Hearing this, Chu Li shuddered heavily.She thought of the small hill where she met Ni Ruo, isn't that the best place to watch the sunrise?
and after?The woman she saw falling off the cliff that day, was it Shen Su?Chu Li really wanted to ask, but for some reason, her heart trembled uncontrollably, and when the words reached her lips, she couldn't make a sound.
"The girl later used the same method and asked Shen Su to take her to see the sunrise. In the same place, she used the same method to push Shen Su off the cliff." Ni Ruo seemed to see Chu Li's thoughts, She said slowly in an extremely indifferent voice.
The story came to an abrupt end here, Ni Ruo stood up and said softly, "It's almost dawn."
Ni Ruo left the room, leaving Chu Li staring at Ni Ruo's back in a daze.Perhaps, the medicine in the meal began to take effect, and her consciousness gradually became blurred.Yes, it is dawn, and she is going to sleep.
☆, Stockholm Syndrome ([-])
City of Prisoners ([-])
Chu Li hadn't seen Ni Ruo for three days since that storytelling night.
Whenever she wakes up from sleep, meals and water have been placed in front of her bed.Touching the edge of the porcelain bowl, the slightly hot temperature indicated that Ni Ruo left not long ago.
Missing spread silently, Chu Li found that she was not afraid of being confined in this small space, but began to fear that she would not be able to see Ni Ruo again.From the initial curiosity, to the later distress, and now to the irritability, Chu Li couldn't tell the reason.
Uncontrollable emotions are quietly fermenting and brewing.
People who obviously exist are like shadows, and people who are obviously alive are as dead as puppets.
Damn dead silence!Chu Li's palm hit the table heavily.
She hopes to see Ni Ruo again, no matter for various reasons.In order for Ni Ruo to understand that she wanted to see her, she even found a pen and paper from the study next door, and left a message to Ni Ruo:
I have something to say.I know you are the girl in the story.You come out to see me.
However, Chu Li's message disappeared like a stone, the note disappeared, but Ni Ruo disappeared as before.
"Ni Ruo, where are you? Come out!" Chu Li could no longer suppress the anger in her heart on the fifth night after Ni Ruo disappeared.
She slapped vigorously on the door connecting the second floor to the ground floor, as if she wanted to use up the remaining strength in her body.
It was very deserted outside the door, and Chu Li couldn't hear any sound.On a quiet night, she was alone.
With weak steps, Chu Li returned to the bedroom.He waved his hand towards the food and water on the table, only to hear a bang, and the porcelain bowl shattered to the ground.Curled up in the corner of the bed, Chu Li buried her head in her knees.
In the past, Chu Li felt safe in a small space.With a light, she no longer fears the night.Now everything is still the same, but the emptiness in my heart is clamoring.Reached out, couldn't catch anything.
"Why are you bothering?" At some point, Ni Ruo, dressed in white, appeared beside the bed.
Looking up, Ni Ruo's eyes as deep as ink were reflected in Chu Li's eyes.
"You should understand that I don't need sympathy or comfort. If you want to pity me, you don't need to." Ni Ruo opened her palms, and it was a note left by Chu Li, with messy creases.
"You clearly know that this is not sympathy! Why do you misinterpret my meaning?" Chu Li's eyes flushed, and she stepped forward to hold Ni Ruo's wrist.
The note slipped from Ni Ruo's palm.
"It's not sympathy, what is that?" Ni Ruo stared at Chu Li's face and asked word by word.
what is itChu Li was dumbfounded.She didn't understand why her emotions suddenly lost control, it was just because Ni Ruo refused to see her.
"If you have nothing to say, then I'm leaving." Ni Ruo said lightly as he broke Chu Li's hand that was tightly clenched on his wrist as his slightly cool fingertips brushed across Chu Li's skin.
back view.What Ni Ruo left for Chu Li was the back view, just like that Li Ming who finished the story.
"Wait, let me tell you a story too, okay?" Chu Li clenched her heart tightly, her brows furrowed, but her voice was firm and unquestionable.
"The story is very simple, even boring. If you don't like listening to it, you can leave at any time." Chu Li lowered her eyes, avoiding her gaze for the first time after Ni Ruo entered the room.
Ni Ruo's footsteps stopped, and her faint sigh was inaudible.She turned around and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"The story is about a girl who was not expected to be born. Her mother is a singing girl. In order to cling to the powerful, she used despicable methods to conceive the eldest son of a big family."
"Happiness can never be won by despicable methods. The birth of a girl does not bring glory and wealth to her mother, but only disgrace. The girl's father said that by virtue of her status as a woman, even if she gave birth to a boy, she would not marry her into the house , let alone a girl?" Chu Li sneered.
"A woman abandons her useless daughter without hesitation, and finds someone else to pursue her dream of wealth. The girl is in the man's house and is raised like a dog."
"If the girl hadn't shown extraordinary medical talent when she was less than five years old, she would never have been noticed by the man called father." Chu Li raised her eyes and asked Ni Ruo with a smile: "Do you think Is this a happy start?"
Ni Ruo frowned, she looked at Chu Li's slightly trembling shoulders, and said nothing.She just gently reached out and took hers.
Ni Ruo's palms were slightly cold, but it inexplicably burned the coldness deep in Chu Li's heart.
Sometimes, what we need may not be a word, nor a complicated action. Just a light glance or a light handshake is worth a thousand words.
Chu Li's icy smile seemed to soften a little inadvertently.Clearing her throat, she continued: "Talent is not happiness for a girl, but the beginning of a nightmare. Day and night training, scars all over the body are nothing but for the so-called medical family inheritance."
"Heh. A girl who is not recognized, but she is required to bear an unwarranted inheritance? Isn't it ridiculous?" Chu Li chuckled.
"I'll tell you a secret." Chu Li put her finger on Ni Ruo's lips, lowered her voice, and said, "The girl's father died after the girl performed the operation on him. And that operation, which was considered perfect by the medical profession, In fact, it was a scam. Unfortunately, no one saw it through."
"The girl has developed a habit since then, which is to play tricks on those who don't like the operation. It has been like this for several years, but it was an ordinary minor operation later, which made the girl's teacher discover the clue." Chu Li's expression seemed to be regretful, but also relieved.
"In the end, the girl is deported to the country and once again isolated from the world."
Chu Li's story ended here.She raised her head, looked at Ni Ruo, and asked lightly, "Do you still feel that I sympathize with you?"
Ni Ruo stared at Chu Li's clear and bright eyes, and shook her head slightly.From that day on, she never disappeared again, she appeared every night and left before dawn.
Ni Ruo didn't know that Chu Li woke up earlier and earlier, and didn't know that the reason why Chu Li told her this story was just to confuse her.
Chu Li, she may be a little different from Ni Ruo, but all this is not enough to stop her desire to escape from here.After Ni Ruo left, Chu Li glanced at the gray-white sky outside the window, looked at her knuckle-boned fingers, and smiled lightly.
To Chu Li, killing people has long been numb, how could she be really emotional because of Ni Ruo's past?She said to herself that she was just temporarily confused by Ni Ruo.Those moments that made her mind turbulent, everything was just her self-directed and self-acted after self-suggestion-in order to let Ni Ruo relax her vigilance.
Chu Li was finally able to wake up completely during the day, out of the control of drugs.
Everything is as expected, Ni Ruo gradually relaxes her supervision, her plan is about to succeed, and she is only one step away from getting her wish.
The night came as scheduled, and Chu Li was going to do it tonight.
Ni Ruo appeared in Chu Li's room as usual, and put down the food and water.
Chu Li quietly walked behind Ni Ruo, and quietly stretched out her right hand.Her fingers were white and slender, and Chu Li was sure that when her wrists pinched Ni Ruo's slender neck, she could suffocate her to death in the shortest time and in the most effective way.
With a perfect murder plan, Chu Li's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light.
However, things are often unpredictable.We usually guess the beginning of the story, but not the ending.
At the moment when Chu Li's fingers were about to touch Ni Ruo's neck, her heart beat uncontrollably, and the huge pain made her almost unable to stand still.
She has heart disease.When she was born, the doctor once said that if she wants to cure her heart disease, she needs to eat the blood of the heart of a living person, and it will take 81 days to be cured.And the person whose blood is eaten must be completely voluntary, otherwise it will be invalid.Otherwise, she would not live to be 24 years old.
Damn it!She was only a month away from turning 24. Could it be that her heart attack was premature?
Chu Li knelt down on the ground in pain, the shadow of death enveloped her.
Ni Ruo turned around and looked at Chu Li's pained expression quietly, her eyes were as cold as water. "You want to kill me, but it's a pity... In the end, you still fall short."
"You must not understand why I found out? Actually, I really didn't know at first, but the moonlight is too bright today. You see, the water reflects your movements." Ni Ruo pointed to the clear water in front of her porcelain bowl.
It turned out to be the case.
The deeper and deeper pain captured Chu Li, she took a big breath, but couldn't stop the suffocation from her heart.Is she going to die here?Chu Li asked herself.
"Aren't you reconciled?" Ni Ruo knelt beside her, her cold fingertips stroking Chu Li's cheek.
Not reconciled?Chu Li stared at Ni Ruoba's paper-thin face, and suddenly smiled.
Ni Ruo looked at her, frowning, as if struggling or hesitating.
"Perhaps, my decision was wrong, and it may be foolish in retrospect. But now, I will not regret it." Ni Ruo's brows were wide open, and her voice was flat.
Chu Li opened her mouth in surprise, looking at Ni Ruo with eyes full of doubts, she didn't understand what Ni Ruo meant.
However, Ni Ruo didn't explain, she just raised her hand lightly and slowly took off her clothes.
The white and flawless skin was exposed to the air, and the heart of the beautiful and touching carcass was inserted by Ni Ruo with a thin silver needle, and the maroon blood drops slowly slipped down.
"Drink it." The voice was still cold.
Chu Li's body was hugged, her head was buried in the warm embrace, and the smell of salty blood permeated between her lips and teeth.
Even biological parents,
What a nasty weather.Chu Li frowned, she hated rainy days, and even more hated the darkness before the rainy day.The black color like splashed ink, like the tail of a poisonous snake, pierced into the deepest part of her heart—the place where the sun was not visible.
An indelible boredom.
It has been more than a month since I came to this small village, and Chu Li is still unable to adapt to the life of the villagers.The tranquility of working at sunrise and returning home at sunset, for her who is used to the life of the colorful capital, is so boring that it makes people sick.
The endless yellow land, and the unknown wild flowers and grasses floating on the ridges of the fields seem to be calling for souls in the wind under the gray black before dawn.
Walking step by step on the path in the field, Chu Li left footprints of different shades on the soft soil.
The quiet surroundings before dawn made people crazy, the night had not yet dissipated, and the empty fields were silent with a cold breath.
Chu Li carried the medicine box on her shoulder, and she began to regret it.Why did she accept the entrustment of the villagers and walk thousands of miles to see a doctor?Does she look like such a good person with medical ethics?
Ha ha.
Chu Li smiled softly, the soft and cool laughter cut through the silence, like a stone thrown into the lake, causing ripples.
If she, Chu Li, was a good person, wouldn't those old lunatics in the capital angrily pierce the sky?If it wasn't for those old men who accidentally discovered that she deliberately tampered with during the operation, how could she be pushed out to this country by the joint name?
She prefers to use medical skills to kill people rather than to heal patients. Isn't it more interesting to use a pair of invisible hands to stop evil within the scope of the moral bottom line?
If it weren't for her excellent performance in the past, she might have been deprived of her qualifications to practice medicine.Squinting her eyes slightly, Chu Li raised her slender and white right hand and stretched it towards the sky. Her five fingers with well-articulated joints were straight and strong, and the fine light and shadow before dawn fell through her fingertips to her eyes, reflecting a deep pool that could not be seen to the bottom.
The road was not close, and Chu Li walked slowly but patiently.She is an extremely patient person, cautious and shrewd.So when her mentor was rounding the room for a doctor who accidentally asked for leave, he could hardly believe that his most proud disciple had tampered with the surgery.
Inconspicuous traces, but they cannot be hidden from the mentor who has practiced medicine all his life.
Seeing through her disguise at a glance, the upright and selfless mentor directly submitted her to the hospital.If it weren't for the fact that there is no definite evidence, those self-righteous old things will definitely kill her.
why did you do this?The mentor came to see her off before she left, and asked her sadly.
Chu Li looked at her teacher's pale hair on the sideburns, her eyes flickering as cold as water, she knelt down in front of her teacher seriously, and kowtowed to him three times.The dark vermilion blood stained her forehead red, but she didn't frown.
"Just as if the master didn't accept me as a disciple who is not talented, after this kowtow, our relationship between master and apprentice will be severed." Her words were cold and without warmth, just like that dawn morning, heart-warmingly cold.
The senior brother rushed up and gave her a fist. The man who had admired her for many years, the man who had always been elegant and demeanor, was rarely angry.
"Do you really have a heart?" Senior Brother suppressed his anger, his eyes flushed red.
"I don't have a heart. So, forget me, and you will be happy." Chu Li touched her burning and painful cheeks, and said with a faint smile.
"You have taken care of me all these years, and this punch is my repayment to you."
Chu Li didn't look at the old and the young under the eaves before dawn, and left the capital with a dilapidated medicine box on her back.The place where she lived for 23 years.
The rain fell silently, hitting Chu Li's body like beans, interrupting her memories.
Forgot to bring an umbrella.Chu Li sighed, she has been unable to raise her spirits lately, obviously yesterday the Aunt Su next door reminded her that it is the rainy season and she needs to bring an umbrella when going out.Fortunately, she went to the shop in the village to buy a blue oil umbrella last night, but she dropped it before going out.
The rain was not heavy, and Chu Li's hair was slightly wet, cool and soft.Trekking all the way, Chu Li saw a two-story building standing alone in front of the small hill in the misty rain.
Mottled fiery red walls, creepers wantonly surround the building, the green of early spring has not yet unfolded, and the withered yellow vines are swaying with the wind and rain, looking disgusted and ferocious.
According to the villagers, this was originally the center of the town, but as time went by, it gradually became deserted.The villagers moved out one after another, leaving only a few sparse families here.
Is anyone home?Chu Li walked to the small building, grabbed the brass lock in front of the house door, and knocked the door.
who is it?
After a while, a timid and weak voice came, the cool voice was like fireworks blooming in the night sky, faintly scattered in the rain and fog.Chu Li's voice paused in the air, and the cool voice made her feel in a trance, as if her arrival had disturbed the originally peaceful life.
"I'm a doctor, and I'm here to treat patients here." Chu Li agreed with a soft voice.
"Come in." The door opened with a creak, and looking up, Chu Li saw a woman in a white nightgown.The woman coughed lightly, her fair face was flushed abnormally.
Chu Li followed the woman into the house.
The decoration in the house is old. Although the tables and chairs in the hall are made of high-quality nanmu, they are all grayed out due to the age.After the woman walked into the hall, she pointed to the chair beside her and motioned her to sit down.
The woman said her name was Ni Ruo, she had been weak since she was a child, and she moved to the town last year.One of her problems is coughing, especially in the early spring every year, the lingering becomes more and more severe.In the past few days, I have suffered from some cold, and I have a severe cough.
After hearing from the villagers that a new doctor had arrived in the town, she asked someone to find Chu Li.The woman's words were simple and clear, and she looked flimsy, but Chu Li had a strange feeling, like a conversation separated by a layer of gauze, which was vague and unreal.
After a simple examination, Chu Li prescribed medicine for her and took it from the medicine box.After ordering the usual medication and collecting the consultation fee, Chu Li got up to leave.
The rain has not stopped yet, and the drowsy sky has no end in sight.Chu Li walked out of the door and sighed softly.She even forgot to ask the owner for an umbrella.
Turning her head to look at the closed door, Chu Li hesitated for a moment, and left in the rain.She is used to being alone and has no habit of disturbing others.
If things pass like this, maybe there will be nothing that happens later, but there is no if.
A week later.
Dawn of the fourteenth of March.
That early morning at dawn, Chu Li remembered it very clearly.The gray sky before dawn made her suddenly feel like going out of the room to watch the sunrise.
The most suitable place to watch the sunrise in the small town, Chu Li thought about it, and she found that it was the hill where she went to see Ni Ruo's doctor that day.
Just do what you want, Chu Li has always been like this.After closing the door, she walked directly towards the hill.
Walking all the way, admiring the surrounding field scenery all the way, Chu Li is in a rare good mood.With the soft soil under her feet, she is at ease and relaxed.
The wonder of life is that there are many things that we cannot predict.Just like the people in your life, someone is destined to pass by, and someone is destined to meet.
On the top of the small hill, Chu Li saw Ni Ruo again.
With fluttering long hair and white clothes like snow, Liu Rumeng standing on the edge of the cliff on the top of the mountain seems to be running towards the white clouds in the sky, and seems to be going away with the wind.
The wind at that dawn was very cool, Chu Li couldn't forget it.
She witnessed Ni Ruo pushing another woman down the hill with her own eyes.The woman's exclamation pierced the dawn night sky, pierced Chu Li's eardrums, and penetrated deep into her heart.
Panicked, she didn't notice the stones under her feet, staggered and almost fell, alarming Ni Ruo who was standing on the edge of the cliff.
Ni Ruo turned her head, she frowned, her clear voice was completely different from the timid and weak one when they first met, but rather cold:
"You shouldn't be here."
Ni Ruo who walked up to Chu Li exuded a faint fragrance.Chu Li smelled the indifferent fragrance, and opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she couldn't.
The delicate fragrance was jasmine, and she lost consciousness.That was the last time Chu Li saw the sunrise.Before she lost consciousness, she saw the fiery red sun rising slowly from behind Ni Ruo, the extremely gorgeous light, just like the cool water in Ni Ruo's eyes at that time, beautiful and dazzling.
Is it true that the more beautiful things are, the more poisonous they are?Just like the fragrance, it smells refreshing, but it is a kind of drug.
When she woke up, Chu Li felt exhausted, all she could see was the mottled iron window and the cold moonlight outside the window.
"you're awake?"
Ni Ruo, who was dressed in white, sat in front of the bed, her eyes fell on Chu Li, indifferent and distant.
Chu Li propped up her wrists and sat up from the bed with great effort, but she seemed powerless.She was sensitive to find that she was drugged.It is a drug commonly used in hospitals to control people who are insane.Calmness and inability to resist.
"You drugged me, afraid that I would report you?" Chu Li frowned, annoyed and angry.
Ni Ruo raised her eyes, there were too many emotions in her pitch-black eyes, which seemed to be sorrowful and helpless.
"Why you?" Ni Ruo sighed faintly, like a white feather brushing against Chu Li's heart.
The anger in his heart was extinguished.Staring at Ni Ruo's eyes as deep as ink, Chu Li's heart instantly ached uncontrollably.
"You shouldn't have come." Ni Ruo seemed to mutter to herself.
Chu Li clenched her fist unconsciously, she actually wanted to heal the indifferent sadness in Ni Ruo's eyes.Absurd and ridiculous!Chu Li tried her best to suppress the weird thoughts that suddenly sprouted in her heart.
Seeing Ni Ruo three times, Chu Li felt different each time.Vague and unreal, cold and sharp, sad and indifferent, which one is the real Ni Ruo?Maybe it was her, maybe it wasn't.It's just that at this moment, Chu Li felt that the current Ni Ruo was more real, and no longer the feeling of showing her flowers in a fog.Ni Ruo stood in front of her alive, alive and beating with the breath of life.
That's right, she remembered what was the strange feeling in her heart when she first met Ni Ruo.Ni Ruo made her dialogue feel too stiff, a numb and lifeless taste.Therefore, she always felt uncomfortable, and the person in front of her was clearly in front of her, but it seemed that there was a layer of gauze that couldn't be lifted.
"Why did you kill someone? Who is that woman?" Chu Li asked, she should be afraid, but facing Ni Ruo, her curiosity was stronger than her fear.
However, Ni Ruo did not answer her question.She gave her water and food, then left her alone in the room.
Before leaving, Ni Ruo told her that she could move around the entire second floor.Of course, only at night.Because, before dawn, Chu Li always couldn't resist the drowsiness caused by the medicine, and fell into a deep sleep.
, Stockholm Syndrome ([-])
City of Prisoners ([-])
Time passed like water, Chu Li couldn't remember how long she had been here.
The entire second floor was sealed off by huge iron pillars. Except for a small window the size of a washbasin under the ceiling in the bedroom and the study next door, the rest of the place was surrounded by layers of walls, so you couldn't see the outside.The entire second floor was like a closed box, trapping Chu Li for life.
At night, looking up in the bedroom, you can occasionally see the moon in the sky.This is the only channel through which Chu Li can contact the outside world.
It's not that Chu Li didn't think about running away, but she couldn't find any chance, nor could she find any tools to help her leave.Because of taking the medicine, her body has been in a state of fatigue for a long time, not to mention the threat of force to get Ni Ruo to let her out, it is extremely difficult for her to walk a few more steps.
Ni Ruo would come regularly every night to deliver meals and drinking water. When she came, she always looked at her quietly or looked at the moonlight outside the window.Occasionally, Ni Ruo would chat with her about some irrelevant things, but she doesn't seem to be a person who is used to chatting, and she rarely talks.
However, even with just a few words, Chu Li found that Ni Ruo had a wide range of knowledge.Ni Ruo can tell a thing or two about the customs and customs of the world, and it is obvious that she has received a good education.This made Chu Li even more curious about Ni Ruo, why would a well-educated person commit murder?
It's another night.
Ni Ruo's expression was very sad, she did not put down the meals and food and leave as usual, but sat down beside her, holding her chin in a daze.
After a long silence, when Chu Li thought she would not speak, Ni Ruo sighed quietly, and she asked Chu Li a question.
"You said, why do people still struggle to survive when they know they will die?"
Chu Li stared at Ni Ruo's eyes that were as deep as pools of water, and remained silent.
This question is too profound, Su Li has never thought about it, but she is afraid to think deeply.
Perhaps, Ni Ruo didn't want her to answer. She raised her eyes to look at the silver-white moonlight falling from the window, and said lightly: "You said, is it because people are not willing to live? Not willing to come to this world for nothing like this." ?”
Chu Li couldn't answer Ni Ruo's question, she tightly grabbed the clothes around her heart, and closed her eyes in pain.
Are you not reconciled?Because he was not reconciled, he couldn't die happily.
The gray memories of her childhood were like a tide flooding Chu Li.
"Why don't you die? Your mother is just a singer, what qualifications do you have to enter the Ru Chu family? If it weren't for you, how could I be abolished as the head of the family?" Chu Li's brother pointed at her nose , scolded viciously.
"If it weren't for how talented you are in medicine, you could inherit the medicine of the Chu family, you would be worse than a dog." The father coldly swung his whip to beat her body, "Go to practice! Go! Go! "
"I didn't give birth to your daughter, so don't come to me again." The mother said indifferently, leaving her back as she gradually went away.
Painful, unable to breathe, suffocating.
The uncontrollable pain of nail piercing into the palm of the hand made Chu Li curl up her body uncontrollably.The sudden pain engulfed her consciousness like a flood. Apart from the uncontrollable pain, it was still pain.
"Hand out."
Just when she thought that this pain would continue endlessly, a cold voice came from her ears, but it was like a life-saving straw that woke her up from the awareness of pain.
hand?
Chu Li stretched out her right hand unconsciously, and then she felt her wrist being held by Ni Ruoweiliang's fingertips, and then a deeper pain pierced into the fingertips, but this pain brought an abrupt end to the pain in her heart and body.
Looking up, Chu Li saw that Ni Ruo was holding her wrist with her right hand, and at the tip of her left finger was a small silver-white needle.
There was no pity or sympathy in Ni Ruo's clear eyes, she just stared at her quietly, but this kind of staring made the darkness deep in Chu Li's heart feel warm.
"I only know how to help you in this way. It's also poison. Whether you use it or not is your choice." Ni Ruo said as few words as before, but she understood the meaning clearly.
Your poison, my good medicine, that's probably what I said.
This night, Ni Ruo didn't leave, she sat by the bed and told her various stories.Ni Ruo said, when you are unhappy, just listen to the story.The characters in the story make you forget that you are really yourself.
Her voice was clear and light, her dark eyes were deep and bright, and her intermittent voice quietly blended into the night, falling into the bottom of Chu Li's heart, the depth that she had never opened to anyone.
Ni Ruo's stories were not all exciting, but Chu Li listened carefully.Perhaps Ni Ruo's words are correct.Into the story, Chu Li found that the pain that had tortured her for a long time in the past gradually softened and dissipated.
Time passed silently, who would have guessed what would change at this moment, and what would it mean?
"It's almost dawn. Let me tell you one last story." Ni Ruo raised her head and glanced at the gray and white light from the window, staring at Chu Li's eyes, seemingly thoughtful.
This story was much more boring than the previous ones, but Chu Li listened more seriously than ever before.
"The owner of the story is a girl. She has been bound in a room that cannot see the daylight since she was born. Her mother said that she is her only one, so she has to use various methods to protect her, and the way of protection Just don't let her leave the room for half a step." Ni Ruo said eloquently.
"The girl's life is simple and boring, but she doesn't resent it. When she was six years old, the girl's mother taught her to read and write, and bought her a room full of books to pass the time. There are many books to read, and she I am grateful to my mother, even if she is confined in a small space, even if she yearns for the outside world."
"18 years passed like this, until one day, the girl who never stepped out of the room saw a stranger other than her mother. This person was invited by her mother to teach her painting and playing the piano, a person who was one year younger than the girl my daughter, Shen Su."
"The girl was very happy. It was the first time she had a friend of the same age. However, the girl's happiness and happiness did not last long, because she was surprised to find that her mother fell in love with this woman who was her age. And madly in love."
"It was only after a long time that she realized that the reason why her mother loved Shen Su to the point of madness was because she was the daughter of the man she loved the most. But the girl was actually an orphan, and the mother adopted her only because her eyes had a glint in her eyes. The man's shadow."
"If the meaning of existence is an illusion, then why do we exist? The girl asked herself, but there was no answer." Ni Ruo's voice was cool, like the lines drawn by a brush on paper, light and faint.
"It would be a good thing if the story ended here." Ni Ruo said slowly: "But the story is not over yet, we can't guess the ending of the story, often because we are involved in it, get stuck in it, and can't find the exit. "
"Shen Su rejected her mother for a reason that the girl couldn't think of. Shen Su said that she fell in love with the girl. If the mother was only rejected by Shen Su, maybe she would not have turned into the madness that followed. However, how can there be so many in the world? if?"
At this point in Ni Ruo's story, she paused.She asked Chu Li, is the story crazy and boring?At this moment, Ni Ruo's eyes were blurred, and the gray sky slightly appeared in the dark eyes outside the window, as if she had fallen into deep memories.
Chu Li didn't know how to answer.In the end, she just shook her head slightly.It's not that I don't want to answer, but that I can't answer.
This story, not a story.She had guessed that Ni Ruo was the girl in the story.
"What happened afterwards?" Chu Li asked after a while.
"The mother found out that Shen Su fell in love with the girl, and she wanted to kill the girl and imprison Shen Su, so that Shen Su, like the girl, would stay in the house where she lived forever. During the entanglement between the mother and Shen Su, the girl escaped. "
"On that night of running away, the moon in the sky was very round and bright, like the light guiding the girl in the darkness." The corners of Ni Ruo's mouth curved slightly, and her crystal-clear eyes shone brightly.
"Later, the girl changed her name and identity in the outside world, and made a living by writing in the city. The meager income barely makes ends meet."
"She thought she would not return to the place where she lived. However, two years after she left, by chance, she saw news about her mother in the newspaper. The girl's mother passed away. The newspaper also left a search for her daughter. According to the news, it is for the mother to be buried in time. People in the country are superstitious. When a relative dies, it is necessary for the children to die, otherwise they will become lonely ghosts."
"The girl came back to see her mother?" Chu Li couldn't help interrupting Ni Ruo.
Ni Ruo smiled shallowly, and the soft smile was full of sarcasm.
"The girl came back not to die for her mother, but to confirm whether the mother who wanted her to die was really dead."
"Her mother didn't know that what she did to the girl made the girl's mind abnormal, and the girl suffered from paranoid schizophrenia. In countless delusions and hallucinations, the girl killed her mother. "Ni Ruo's voice was full of cold hatred, which made Chu Li's heart suddenly shrink.
"The girl can't fall asleep at night. Only at dawn, when the sky lights up, can she fall into a deep sleep. The doctor said that to cure the disease, you must cut off the root of the disease, which is the knot in the heart."
"The girl came back to the village for medical treatment? She shouldn't have come back." Chu Li sighed quietly, she didn't understand why she said that at that moment, she just felt sorry for the girl involuntarily.
Ni Ruo shook her head, staring at Chu Li with soft eyes: "You are a good person and smart enough. Because you know how to let go."
Ni Ruo paused for a moment and continued the story.
"The girl returned to the village she fled from, but what awaited the girl back was something she never expected. Shen Su, the man who said he loved her, drugged her and imprisoned her just like her mother. she."
"Shen Su said that after the girl left, she was imprisoned by the girl's mother. In order to wait until the girl came back, she endured it for two years, and finally found a chance. When she persuaded her mother to take her to see the sunrise, she took her mother Pushed off the cliff."
"The road up the mountain in the village has been in disrepair for a long time, and it is very common to stumble and fall off the cliff. No one has linked the mother's death with Shen Su who returned to the village."
"Shen Su told the villagers that she had been kidnapped and trafficked by the bad guys, and escaped with great difficulty. In the end, as a friend of Shen Su's daughter, she arranged for her mother's burial and posted a missing person notice in the newspaper. "
Hearing this, Chu Li shuddered heavily.She thought of the small hill where she met Ni Ruo, isn't that the best place to watch the sunrise?
and after?The woman she saw falling off the cliff that day, was it Shen Su?Chu Li really wanted to ask, but for some reason, her heart trembled uncontrollably, and when the words reached her lips, she couldn't make a sound.
"The girl later used the same method and asked Shen Su to take her to see the sunrise. In the same place, she used the same method to push Shen Su off the cliff." Ni Ruo seemed to see Chu Li's thoughts, She said slowly in an extremely indifferent voice.
The story came to an abrupt end here, Ni Ruo stood up and said softly, "It's almost dawn."
Ni Ruo left the room, leaving Chu Li staring at Ni Ruo's back in a daze.Perhaps, the medicine in the meal began to take effect, and her consciousness gradually became blurred.Yes, it is dawn, and she is going to sleep.
☆, Stockholm Syndrome ([-])
City of Prisoners ([-])
Chu Li hadn't seen Ni Ruo for three days since that storytelling night.
Whenever she wakes up from sleep, meals and water have been placed in front of her bed.Touching the edge of the porcelain bowl, the slightly hot temperature indicated that Ni Ruo left not long ago.
Missing spread silently, Chu Li found that she was not afraid of being confined in this small space, but began to fear that she would not be able to see Ni Ruo again.From the initial curiosity, to the later distress, and now to the irritability, Chu Li couldn't tell the reason.
Uncontrollable emotions are quietly fermenting and brewing.
People who obviously exist are like shadows, and people who are obviously alive are as dead as puppets.
Damn dead silence!Chu Li's palm hit the table heavily.
She hopes to see Ni Ruo again, no matter for various reasons.In order for Ni Ruo to understand that she wanted to see her, she even found a pen and paper from the study next door, and left a message to Ni Ruo:
I have something to say.I know you are the girl in the story.You come out to see me.
However, Chu Li's message disappeared like a stone, the note disappeared, but Ni Ruo disappeared as before.
"Ni Ruo, where are you? Come out!" Chu Li could no longer suppress the anger in her heart on the fifth night after Ni Ruo disappeared.
She slapped vigorously on the door connecting the second floor to the ground floor, as if she wanted to use up the remaining strength in her body.
It was very deserted outside the door, and Chu Li couldn't hear any sound.On a quiet night, she was alone.
With weak steps, Chu Li returned to the bedroom.He waved his hand towards the food and water on the table, only to hear a bang, and the porcelain bowl shattered to the ground.Curled up in the corner of the bed, Chu Li buried her head in her knees.
In the past, Chu Li felt safe in a small space.With a light, she no longer fears the night.Now everything is still the same, but the emptiness in my heart is clamoring.Reached out, couldn't catch anything.
"Why are you bothering?" At some point, Ni Ruo, dressed in white, appeared beside the bed.
Looking up, Ni Ruo's eyes as deep as ink were reflected in Chu Li's eyes.
"You should understand that I don't need sympathy or comfort. If you want to pity me, you don't need to." Ni Ruo opened her palms, and it was a note left by Chu Li, with messy creases.
"You clearly know that this is not sympathy! Why do you misinterpret my meaning?" Chu Li's eyes flushed, and she stepped forward to hold Ni Ruo's wrist.
The note slipped from Ni Ruo's palm.
"It's not sympathy, what is that?" Ni Ruo stared at Chu Li's face and asked word by word.
what is itChu Li was dumbfounded.She didn't understand why her emotions suddenly lost control, it was just because Ni Ruo refused to see her.
"If you have nothing to say, then I'm leaving." Ni Ruo said lightly as he broke Chu Li's hand that was tightly clenched on his wrist as his slightly cool fingertips brushed across Chu Li's skin.
back view.What Ni Ruo left for Chu Li was the back view, just like that Li Ming who finished the story.
"Wait, let me tell you a story too, okay?" Chu Li clenched her heart tightly, her brows furrowed, but her voice was firm and unquestionable.
"The story is very simple, even boring. If you don't like listening to it, you can leave at any time." Chu Li lowered her eyes, avoiding her gaze for the first time after Ni Ruo entered the room.
Ni Ruo's footsteps stopped, and her faint sigh was inaudible.She turned around and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"The story is about a girl who was not expected to be born. Her mother is a singing girl. In order to cling to the powerful, she used despicable methods to conceive the eldest son of a big family."
"Happiness can never be won by despicable methods. The birth of a girl does not bring glory and wealth to her mother, but only disgrace. The girl's father said that by virtue of her status as a woman, even if she gave birth to a boy, she would not marry her into the house , let alone a girl?" Chu Li sneered.
"A woman abandons her useless daughter without hesitation, and finds someone else to pursue her dream of wealth. The girl is in the man's house and is raised like a dog."
"If the girl hadn't shown extraordinary medical talent when she was less than five years old, she would never have been noticed by the man called father." Chu Li raised her eyes and asked Ni Ruo with a smile: "Do you think Is this a happy start?"
Ni Ruo frowned, she looked at Chu Li's slightly trembling shoulders, and said nothing.She just gently reached out and took hers.
Ni Ruo's palms were slightly cold, but it inexplicably burned the coldness deep in Chu Li's heart.
Sometimes, what we need may not be a word, nor a complicated action. Just a light glance or a light handshake is worth a thousand words.
Chu Li's icy smile seemed to soften a little inadvertently.Clearing her throat, she continued: "Talent is not happiness for a girl, but the beginning of a nightmare. Day and night training, scars all over the body are nothing but for the so-called medical family inheritance."
"Heh. A girl who is not recognized, but she is required to bear an unwarranted inheritance? Isn't it ridiculous?" Chu Li chuckled.
"I'll tell you a secret." Chu Li put her finger on Ni Ruo's lips, lowered her voice, and said, "The girl's father died after the girl performed the operation on him. And that operation, which was considered perfect by the medical profession, In fact, it was a scam. Unfortunately, no one saw it through."
"The girl has developed a habit since then, which is to play tricks on those who don't like the operation. It has been like this for several years, but it was an ordinary minor operation later, which made the girl's teacher discover the clue." Chu Li's expression seemed to be regretful, but also relieved.
"In the end, the girl is deported to the country and once again isolated from the world."
Chu Li's story ended here.She raised her head, looked at Ni Ruo, and asked lightly, "Do you still feel that I sympathize with you?"
Ni Ruo stared at Chu Li's clear and bright eyes, and shook her head slightly.From that day on, she never disappeared again, she appeared every night and left before dawn.
Ni Ruo didn't know that Chu Li woke up earlier and earlier, and didn't know that the reason why Chu Li told her this story was just to confuse her.
Chu Li, she may be a little different from Ni Ruo, but all this is not enough to stop her desire to escape from here.After Ni Ruo left, Chu Li glanced at the gray-white sky outside the window, looked at her knuckle-boned fingers, and smiled lightly.
To Chu Li, killing people has long been numb, how could she be really emotional because of Ni Ruo's past?She said to herself that she was just temporarily confused by Ni Ruo.Those moments that made her mind turbulent, everything was just her self-directed and self-acted after self-suggestion-in order to let Ni Ruo relax her vigilance.
Chu Li was finally able to wake up completely during the day, out of the control of drugs.
Everything is as expected, Ni Ruo gradually relaxes her supervision, her plan is about to succeed, and she is only one step away from getting her wish.
The night came as scheduled, and Chu Li was going to do it tonight.
Ni Ruo appeared in Chu Li's room as usual, and put down the food and water.
Chu Li quietly walked behind Ni Ruo, and quietly stretched out her right hand.Her fingers were white and slender, and Chu Li was sure that when her wrists pinched Ni Ruo's slender neck, she could suffocate her to death in the shortest time and in the most effective way.
With a perfect murder plan, Chu Li's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light.
However, things are often unpredictable.We usually guess the beginning of the story, but not the ending.
At the moment when Chu Li's fingers were about to touch Ni Ruo's neck, her heart beat uncontrollably, and the huge pain made her almost unable to stand still.
She has heart disease.When she was born, the doctor once said that if she wants to cure her heart disease, she needs to eat the blood of the heart of a living person, and it will take 81 days to be cured.And the person whose blood is eaten must be completely voluntary, otherwise it will be invalid.Otherwise, she would not live to be 24 years old.
Damn it!She was only a month away from turning 24. Could it be that her heart attack was premature?
Chu Li knelt down on the ground in pain, the shadow of death enveloped her.
Ni Ruo turned around and looked at Chu Li's pained expression quietly, her eyes were as cold as water. "You want to kill me, but it's a pity... In the end, you still fall short."
"You must not understand why I found out? Actually, I really didn't know at first, but the moonlight is too bright today. You see, the water reflects your movements." Ni Ruo pointed to the clear water in front of her porcelain bowl.
It turned out to be the case.
The deeper and deeper pain captured Chu Li, she took a big breath, but couldn't stop the suffocation from her heart.Is she going to die here?Chu Li asked herself.
"Aren't you reconciled?" Ni Ruo knelt beside her, her cold fingertips stroking Chu Li's cheek.
Not reconciled?Chu Li stared at Ni Ruoba's paper-thin face, and suddenly smiled.
Ni Ruo looked at her, frowning, as if struggling or hesitating.
"Perhaps, my decision was wrong, and it may be foolish in retrospect. But now, I will not regret it." Ni Ruo's brows were wide open, and her voice was flat.
Chu Li opened her mouth in surprise, looking at Ni Ruo with eyes full of doubts, she didn't understand what Ni Ruo meant.
However, Ni Ruo didn't explain, she just raised her hand lightly and slowly took off her clothes.
The white and flawless skin was exposed to the air, and the heart of the beautiful and touching carcass was inserted by Ni Ruo with a thin silver needle, and the maroon blood drops slowly slipped down.
"Drink it." The voice was still cold.
Chu Li's body was hugged, her head was buried in the warm embrace, and the smell of salty blood permeated between her lips and teeth.
