Chapter 1699: 2 Deaths

If it is a drama or a movie with the main theme, the following plot should be that Cai Meiwen fights wits and courage with the suspect with the miscellaneous hair, and finally brings the gangster to justice without any danger, which is highly praised by the masses and the school. Become an excellent member of the Communist Youth League...but unfortunately, real life is often not like this.

In real life, people who want to be heroes may not necessarily become heroes, but become the next victim of gangsters.

She only lives once, she is just a female student in the third grade of junior high school, and a small dog with no professional training, what are the chances of winning in the face of real gangsters? I'm afraid it's not just suicide.

In fact, after the dusk when she met a suspicious co-worker, Cai Meiwen’s life was completely peaceful, whether it was in the corridor going home from study next night, or late at night alone at home. She never encountered any further situations that frightened her, and any occasional ones quickly proved to be misunderstandings.

Not long after, she ushered in the high school entrance examination and entered high school. Taking this opportunity to change her environment, she also bid farewell to the self who had been a problem girl. Then she was very busy in the three-year high school entrance examination and five-year simulation.

Once at lunch, both parents happened to be at home, and the three of them ate while talking and laughing, and there was a shaggy dog ​​under the table, always ready to pick up leaks.

With the return of her prodigal son, the parents are of course more and more relieved. After getting rid of the biggest heart disease, the family atmosphere has improved a lot, there are a lot of laughter, and the family is happy every day.

They talked for a while about the school and the future college entrance examination wishes. Although her parents hoped that she would stay in the local university to go to university, but she wanted to try her best to get a better school within her ability.

It doesn't matter if there are differences of opinion. Anyway, the college entrance examination is still very early, and there is plenty of time to discuss slowly.

At this time, someone knocked on the door, and it was a neighbor from the neighborhood committee who came to visit. My father got up to receive the guests. After Cai Meiwen and his mother greeted the guests, they cleaned up the dining table together.

Cai Meiwen went back and forth to put the dishes and chopsticks into the sink again and again, and then wiped the table with a rag, while her mother washed the dishes in the kitchen.

The guest was talking and couldn't take a nap. She planned to wipe the table and go back to her room to read a book and sleep after the guest left, but a few words from the guest caught her attention.

It turned out that a vicious case happened in the neighborhood next door a few days ago. The victim was a female student who attended the same junior high school as the other children nearby, which was Cai Meiwen's junior high school. The murderer broke into the room with self-made tools to commit the crime while the victim's parents were not at home, and then absconded overnight. He is currently being arrested by the public security organs.

What exactly did the murderer do?

No news came out, only that the word used by the public security organs was "extremely cruel", and it can only be confirmed that the victim girl died on the spot.

In order to avoid large-scale panic, the public security organs did not publicize the matter, but asked the neighborhood committees of neighboring communities to go door-to-door to find families with young girls in the community, reminding everyone to pay attention to safety in the past few days and not to let young girls alone, in case The murderer was still lurking nearby and continued to commit crimes.

After hearing this, the parents couldn't help sighing. A young girl with a bright future withered like this. How could it not make people sigh?

Cai Meiwen's heart throbbed suddenly, and she almost dropped the bowl by mistake.

She thought of those two nights and one evening again. Although they only happened within a year or two, it felt like a world away. Although the police did not say anything, she had a premonition in her heart that the murderer might be the worker she had met. He knew that he was recognized by the miscellaneous hair and remembered the smell, so he had to give up the original plan regrettably. , can only find another target, otherwise the girl killed may be her.

After the neighbor left, the parents may also have remembered her experience, but the adults' self-esteem made them pretend to be confused and forget. Cai Meiwen wanted to bring the murderer to justice, and wanted justice for the girl she didn't know, but what could she do? And to be honest, she was intimidated, terrified of reprisals.

Death was a field that she had never been in contact with at that time, and she never thought that the first time she came into contact with death was the death of a girl who was almost the same age. The black wings of the god of death once enveloped her head, so close to her, she was only one step away from falling, if not for some little luck, it would not be the girl who died, but her.

In a way, that girl died instead of her.

The most frightening thing is that the murderer is still at large.

This incident had a huge impact on her heart. Fear and guilt made her hide in the house for several days and did not dare to go out, and she did not go to school. Whenever there were footsteps outside the door, she screamed nervously .

The parents were very worried about her, and they never dared to say that she was unfounded anymore. They even took shifts with others and asked for leave, and stayed at home to take care of her for a few days. At the same time, they were also worried that the murderer would come back.

However, her parents can only accompany her for a while. They are both working class. What can they eat and drink when they are not working? They don't have the money to buy a new house and move, even if they move, they can't just move. And because they asked for leave for several days in a row, they had almost no leave for a period of time after that.

After her parents returned to work, she was the only one left at home. If she was alone, she might stay at home forever because of fear like a modern hermit, but there are still stray hairs in the house, so she has to go out to walk the dog anyway .

When it's time to go out for a walk with the dog, even if she doesn't want to go out, Miscellaneous Mao will excitedly drag her out to have fun and solve her physical problems.

She believed in Miscellaneous Hair, she could only trust it, after all it had saved her more than once.

Since it behaves normally, then... probably there is no danger nearby.

After several days of self-isolation, she finally tried to get out of the house, and it took a long time to barely overcome her psychological fear, resume school and resume classes, and spent a while to make up the lost course progress.

But the city as her hometown left a psychological shadow on her after all, making her secretly determined to go to a university in another place and usher in a new beginning in a new city.

At that time, her parents had not yet retired, and they were reluctant to leave their hometown because of their deep affection for their hometown, but there must be a place for miscellaneous hair in her vision of the future.

It's a pity that people in that era lacked pet knowledge. Although Miscellaneous was a puppy, it was only small in size. Neither she nor her parents knew about it. It was not too young in terms of age. At that time, pet feeding was unscientific, and dogs were still fed with high-salt or leftover food mixed with harmful ingredients to dogs. In addition, the pet medical industry was just in its infancy, and people did not have the awareness of regular physical examinations for pets. The lifespan of pets at that time was lower than it is now.

During the summer vacation when she received the admission letter from Binhai University, Miscellaneous Mao died, without warning, maybe from old age or from illness, her parents couldn’t tell, they only said that they were walking the dog in the evening. Nothing happened, but I didn't wake up the next morning, my body was already cold.

She happened to go on a graduation trip with her high school classmates to celebrate, and when she came back, the miscellaneous hair had already been buried, and she didn't even see the last side of it.

In retrospect, the high school classmates who went on a graduation trip together at that time agreed to walk together for the rest of their lives and to be forever friends, but the irony is that few of these classmates who once vowed to eachother still keep in touch now, and even She didn't have a deep impression of them, and she couldn't even remember their faces clearly—although I was a little sorry for them, but her impression of them combined was not as good as that of Miscellaneous Hair.

So, what is the significance of this graduation trip?

Nothing was kept, not the youth that was doomed to pass away, nor the miscellaneous hair.

To this day, she still doubts whether the murderer who has never heard of being arrested has gone back and forth, poisoned to death the miscellaneous hair who repeatedly spoiled his good deeds because of a grudge.

If she had stayed at home instead of going on a graduation trip, maybe Za Mao would not have died, because she has always been very careful and vigilant when walking the dog with Za Mao. No matter any strange man approached her and Za Mao, she would Staring at his face, but his parents are very casual when they walk the dog, always chatting with neighbors and co-workers, and letting the miscellaneous hair play by itself.

Of course, this is just suspicion, without any evidence, maybe Miscellaneous Mao just died of old age or illness, and has nothing to do with the murderer. But even knowing this, she couldn't contain the regret in her heart. She could barely breathe thinking of the bad attitude and behavior she had done to Rogue when he first came to the house.

In her heart, she blamed her parents a little. She knew it shouldn't be, but she just wanted to find a scapegoat because of her regret.

The time together was too short, and she was too busy studying. At first, she didn't know how to cherish it, but she regretted it after losing it.

Successfully admitted to the ideal university, without academic pressure, the summer vacation of graduating from the third year of high school should have been a magnificent rose color, but it was stained with a layer of gray haze early on.

Without waiting for the official start of the university, and without even formally saying goodbye to her high school classmates, she packed her bags and went to Binhai City. Because of the loss of Za Mao, she no longer felt safe in her hometown. No one can protect her. It is better to leave this place as soon as possible. sadly.

Her parents are busy with work, and it is difficult to ask for leave. She rejected her parents' proposal to send her to Binhai City, and went to another country with her own bags on her back. From then on, she ushered in a new stage in her life.

Since then, her life trajectory has been fixed in Binhai City, where she went to university, got a job, fell in love, got married, gave birth to a child, got divorced, and raised her child alone...

Cai Meiwen knows it well—it must be said that these two deaths in adolescence have had a huge impact on her who is forming her outlook on life and the world, causing her to have a certain degree of psychological defects, with a paranoid and sensitive personality , and did not have the awareness to consult a psychologist at that time, which also caused the failure of her marriage to a certain extent.

Fortunately, her failed marriage was not useless, at least it left her with an extremely precious product, which was little celery.

She couldn't imagine, how could she, who was once a troubled girl and had a terrible failure in marriage, give birth to such a perfect child as Xiao Celery? Much better than she was back then!

So she cherishes little celery very much, even more than her own life.

It was precisely because of her terrible experience that when she heard the voice of Xiao Celery staying with a strange man on the phone, she felt extremely vigilant and nervous, and instantly remembered the poisonous snake in the stairwell on the fourth floor in the dark. In spite of the strong wind and rain, she rushed to her daughter's side immediately until she saw her safe and sound.

She hopes that her daughter can grow up healthy and strong, and does not want her daughter to take detours like her. In order to make her daughter's growth smooth, she is willing to smooth out all possible ups and downs for her daughter.

Such as death.

She can't control the death of humans, but at least she can control the death of pets.

Back then, as a troubled girl, even though she hated it very much at first, she still fell in love with that ugly mutton dog in the end. As her own daughter, Xiao Celery, it is only natural that she would also like pets, she can understand.

If her daughter wants to keep long-lived pets such as turtles, or aqua pets such as koi and pigeons that have limited interaction with people, she will not have the heart to refuse her daughter's request. After all, as a mother, she knows her daughter's self-control. It is clear that my daughter will not delay her studies because of keeping these pets.

If my daughter wants to keep a cat or a dog, she might reluctantly agree. After all, cats and dogs don’t have a short lifespan. If you raise them from a young age, you should always take good care of them. It won’t be a problem if you keep them for more than ten years, maybe you can keep them for more than fifteen years. At that time, Little Celery was an adult, even had a boyfriend, and her outlook on life and the world had already taken shape, so she should be able to withstand the impact of the death of her beloved pet.

If it is other pets that are easy to feed and have a long lifespan, she can seriously consider them, but why hamsters and rabbits?

Whether it was the former family home or the current colleagues, some people had kept hamsters and rabbits as pets, so she knew a little bit about it. Hamsters and rabbits are not as easy to take care of as cats and dogs, and their vitality is very fragile. The theoretical lifespan is one thing, but the actual lifespan is another. If you keep hamsters and rabbits as pets, you may have to experience their death when Celery is in an unstable adolescence.

Cai Meiwen is well aware of her daughter's personality. Little Celery is too gentle and caring. Once she has a pet, she will devote too much affection to her pet. The more affection she puts into her pet, the more pain she will suffer when she loses it.

She absolutely does not want her daughter to be stimulated by the death of her beloved pet and form a paranoid personality like her own. Instead of that, it is better for her to eliminate this possibility.

She knew that she might be a little overprotective, but there was nothing she could do. She only had her daughter, and her daughter only had her. The daughter had no father, so she could only pour double love into her daughter.

If this is paranoia, then she is willing to continue to be paranoid like this. This is her right as a mother.
