Chapter 134: White Jade Wrench(2/2)
"You eat, you eat, grandpa is not hungry, grandpa doesn't like eating candy."
Listening to the happy voices of grandparents and grandsons, Li Tianming held the ring in his hand tightly. He grabbed it so hard that he felt that the ring was about to be embedded in his palm.
After the grandparents and grandchildren walked away, he suddenly stood up and chased after the grandparents and grandchildren.
The manager sneered behind his back: "How is it? I regret it? It's too late, I'll be eaten up long ago!"
Li Tianming followed his grandfather and grandson from afar, slowly following them, watching them walking to a broken house on the outskirts of the city.
...
That night, Li Tianming came back very late. The fat manager had already finished supper, and it seemed that he had no intention of waiting for him.
Li Tianming's face was always ugly, and the fat manager kept sarcastic, "How is it? Didn't catch up?"
"How is it, have you eaten up?"
"How is it, are you losing?"
"Tsk tsk, half a pound of food coupons was replaced with a broken ring. Your head was kicked by a donkey, right?"
"I think you don't have enough food. You can reduce it a little every month in the future. If you have too much work, it will be a waste. There are not many jobs in the store now. In fact, I am very compassionate to keep you here. You don't know how much more food you will have to raise someone like you every month. Alas, I am just soft-hearted..."
That night, Li Tianming was lying on the wooden board and didn't sleep all night, and a picture kept popping up in his mind.
...
He followed his grandfather and grandson to a dilapidated house on the outskirts of the city. The doors and windows of the house had been demolished, leaving only half of the house with exposed walls.
The owner of the house probably went out to flee, and this broken house became a temporary residence for passers-by.
Li Tianming sat silently at the base of the wall, listening to the conversation between the grandfather and the grandson inside.
Grandpa asked, “Is it delicious?”
Granddaughter: "It's delicious, delicious."
Grandpa asked, "Are you full?"
Granddaughter: "I'm full, grandpa, there's still some leftovers. I can't eat it. You eat it, you eat it."
Grandpa: "You finish eating, I won't eat, I won't be hungry."
Granddaughter: "Grandpa lies with me, you eat, you eat!"
"Okay, I'll eat, I'll eat, will Niu Niu sleep when she's full?"
"Um."
After a while, a mournful cry suddenly sounded in the room, as shrill as a wounded wild wolf.
The old and sad cry kept breaking through the sky and floating in the night sky.
After the sound in the room stopped, Li Tianming slowly walked into the broken house.
Under the pale and cold moonlight, the old man's thin body hung on the beams and swung gently in the breeze.
The little girl was lying on the ground, her body was stiff, her eyes wide open, and there was a blue bruise on her neck.
On the ground next to it, there was a small bag of white sugar, which shone with white fluorescence under the moonlight.
Li Tianming stood there silently. The old man couldn't bear to see his granddaughter suffering from hunger anymore. After she ate for the last time, he strangled her to death.
After doing these things, I also ended my painful life on the wooden beam.
What a despair this is!
Li Tianming lowered the old man's body from the beam of the house. The old man was so thin that he was only a handful of bones, as if nothing had happened.
Li Tianming searched carefully all over his body, pinched the sewing of his clothes, and then searched carefully on the little girl, except for the ragged clothes, there was nothing else on the two of them.
Li Tianming silently placed the two corpses together, closed the little girl's eyes wide open. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then turned around and left.
The remaining small bag of sugar was placed there, but it didn't move.
