143. Abnormal Self-Salvation

"Teacher Yan, you are right. There is a great hero in this world. That great hero will help kind children kill all the demons that hurt them."

The little fat boy raised his head and nodded solemnly. Looking at such a pair of innocent eyes, Yan Chu calmly typed a line of words on the tablet and then moved it in front of the little boy.

"The real hero who protects children will not choose to kill those demons, but will help children stay away from demons."

The original body had misled too many children before, and Yan Chu could not accuse the other party of being wrong.

It's just that at this age, these children should not be instilled with violent and bloody ideas, making them feel that killing is right, as long as the person killed is a bad person.

"Why?"

The little fat boy didn't quite understand the question Yan Chu asked on the tablet.

"But if we don't kill those demons, won't those demons find those children again?"

The little fat boy's question made Yan Chu unable to answer, and the conversation between the two of them fell into a deadlock.

"Mom used to cry every day because Dad would beat her whenever he got drunk. Sometimes he would use the broom at home, and sometimes he would use the wine bottle and the chair at home. I was locked in the room, but I could hear Mom crying. I kept calling Dad and Mom until my voice became hoarse, and no one ever paid attention to me."

The little fat boy sat on the grass of the flower bed, hugged his knees with his hands, and curled up into a ball: "Mom always said that she couldn't divorce for my sake, but I don't need her to do that? I don't need to eat meat for every meal, and I don't want Lego toys. I just want Mom not to be beaten. Those uncles, aunts, and aunts all asked Mom to endure it, saying that Dad was just drunk and confused for a while, and he would change, but those fists didn't hit them, so why should they forgive Mom?"

Just like pouring out bitter water, the little boy sobbed and said to Yan Chu.

Children of this age are not big, but they are sensitive and fragile in a strange family. They dare not tell others some things, but Yan Chu gives them enough confidence that the other party will not tell the secrets they tell.

"Anyway, I am very happy now, Teacher Yan, thank you, thank you for listening to my complaints so much, my mother and I will be free in the future, and we will live very happily every day."

The little fat boy took out a candy, put the candy in Yan Chu's hand like Yan Chu used to coax other classmates, then wiped the tears from his face and trotted away. His steps were light and happy, and you can imagine his mood at this time.

I don't know how long the candy in my hand has been in my pocket. Now the weather is so hot, the sugar coating has long been stuck to the fruit candy inside.

Yan Chu put the candy in his mouth, the fructose is sweet and sour, and the taste is pretty good.

This child...

A trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and then his frown was untied.

He is different.

He will not experience that kind of real despair, and the nightmare that once troubled him has been cleared, so he will not become another demon.

The scene that had been bothering him appeared in his mind, and Yan Chu's head throbbed. The original body of this world had a huge impact on him.

Really... I really want to...

Kill someone!

*****

"Xu Nan, you're back."

The door of the apartment was opened, and a well-mannered man with a briefcase came in from outside. He put on slippers with a cold face, and then sat on the sofa beside him, rubbing his nose to relieve the soreness of his eyes.

He turned a deaf ear to the words of the young wife at home.

The young wife, the woman who appeared in Mingxing Primary School this morning with heavy makeup and asked for leave for her child, had an embarrassed expression on her face. She pulled the corners of her mouth and pushed the little girl beside her and said.

"Duoduo, call daddy quickly."

The little girl, about eight years old, hugged her mother's thighs and hid behind her. She timidly showed her face and dared not speak.

"Xu Nan, let me pour you a glass of water."

The space was too depressing. Zhang Li felt the increasingly impatient momentum of the man, ran into the kitchen in a panic, poured him a glass of water, and handed it to him.

"You want to burn me to death, damn it! Do you want me to die, and then remarry with this dumb little kid you gave birth to, ah!"

The glass was smashed to the ground, and the loud bang scared Zhang Li and the little girl behind her and made a step back. Some of the fragments flew across Zhang Li's exposed calves, cutting a few small cuts. Her daughter behind her was protected by her and was not hurt at all.

"Wow--"

Xu Duo's wailing made the man who had been exposed to the weather outside even more irritable. Zhang Li wanted to cover her daughter's mouth, but it was too late.

"Cry, cry, cry, all day long, I told you to be dumb when you called me dad, how can you cry and make trouble now? I worked hard outside to make money, to feed you, to clothe you, and to let you go to a good school, and you are just like your useless mother, coming to suck my blood."

"No, it's not like that."

Zhang Li protected her daughter and said with a slight tremor in her body.

"Shut up."

Xu Nan grabbed Zhang Li's hair and said, "You dare to talk back to me? Do you know that I am the one who supports you and this kid? And those useless people from your mother's family always cause me all kinds of troubles. You spend my money and can't even serve a man. What's the use of you?"

He threw the woman to the ground heavily and kicked the woman's body forcefully.

The child's cries became more and more shrill. Zhang Li held her hands and curled up. This was her experience after being beaten for so many years. It could at least make the injuries on her body less severe.

"Ding dong - ding dong -"

The doorbell rang, and Xu Nan stopped kicking and beating. Zhang Li sobbed, and every time her body moved, there was new pain.

"Take the little cub you gave birth to and go back to the room."

He looked at the woman with messy hair and tears on the ground indifferently, without any emotion in his heart.

Domestic violence is like this. The first time you panic and repent, the second time you feel guilty, the third time, the fourth time, you will become more and more accustomed to it, and the only conscience you have is gone long ago.

Zhang Li complied, holding back tears and picking up her daughter beside her, and walked into the room with her head lowered.

"Mr. Xu, are you okay at home? I thought I heard Duoduo crying just now?"

The person who knocked on the door was the old lady who lived nearby. She stood outside the door and looked into the room.

"It's nothing. It's just that the child accidentally broke the cup and scared himself to tears. Lily went to coax the child. I was about to sweep up the broken glass to prevent the child from being hurt later."

In front of outsiders, Xu Nan always behaves impeccably, and is a good gentleman and father that everyone praises.

"That's right."

The old lady looked at the water and a few pieces of glass spilled on the floor in the corner of the living room, and the faint sound of a child crying in the bedroom, so she had no doubts.

"I thought something happened. Mr. Xu, please take your time and clean up. I won't disturb you."

The old lady still thought that the noise just now was due to the quarrel between the newly moved couple, and she also wanted to try to persuade them to make peace. However, she didn't expect that she had misunderstood, and she almost made a mistake, and she immediately felt a little embarrassed. .

After closing the door, Xu Nan's face immediately dropped, with a gloomy expression.

When I moved, I forgot to check the neighbors. I didn’t expect that such a nosy old lady lived nearby. It seems that when I have more cash on hand, I still have to consider changing to a single-family villa to save these people. Came to the door again and again.

"Hurry and tidy up the living room. I will stay at the company tonight and won't come back."

Xu Nan stood outside her daughter's bedroom and said something, then took the briefcase in the entrance and left again.

After finally coaxing her daughter to sleep, who had been crying for a long time, and cleaning up the mess Xu Nan had just made, Zhang Li ignored the need to apply medicine to her wounds and mustered up the courage to call her parents.

"mom--"

Hearing the familiar voice, Zhang Li couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Xu Nan beat me again. I can't stand it anymore. I want a divorce." She burst into tears. Anyone who is beaten day after day without freedom and self-esteem will not be able to bear it.

He was obviously not like this when they first got married. Why did her life become like this?

"Divorce, you've lost your mind."

The woman on the other end of the phone had a high-pitched voice: "Think about it, you are already a teenager after graduation, and you can still find a job now? And Duoduo, have you ever thought about what will happen to Duoduo if you and Xu Nan divorce?"

"I can find a job, teller, waiter, I can do any job, but I can't live this life anymore." Zhang Li begged, hoping that her mother could understand her.

"How much money can you make from these jobs? You can't even afford Duoduo's tuition."

The woman on the other end of the phone still disagreed with her daughter's request for divorce: "Besides, Xu Nan is quite nice. Which man is willing to let his wife stop working and stay at home to enjoy her life? Your brother's current job is all arranged by Xu Nan. You If you divorce Xu Nan and harm your brother for the rest of his life, you will be the sinner of our Zhang family. Don't recognize me and your father in the future. "

The sharp sound reached Zhang Li's ears, and she felt as if she was about to suffocate.

"Lily, mother loves you."

Seemingly realizing that what she just said was too much, the woman on the other side of the phone started to be gentle again: "It's just that you have to be considerate and considerate of Xu Nan. It's not easy for him to raise this family. If he is angry outside, his temper will naturally be bad." Okay, if you do anything wrong, of course it will arouse his anger. From now on, just be more obedient and less angry with Xu Nan. "

It was always like this. It was Xu Nan who beat people, but her mother asked her to find the problem in herself. She didn't know what she should do so that Xu Nan would be satisfied and her mother would be satisfied.

"The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your body. Duoduo is old enough to have another baby. Xu Nan is not satisfied with you now because you didn't give him a son. You ruined their popularity. , how could he be nice to you?"

"Also, you and Xu Nan told Xu Nan about what mom told you last time. Your brother is getting married. As sisters and brothers-in-law, you have to behave in a meaningful way. You know the situation at home. The woman is bringing it up now. We still need 200,000 yuan to buy a house, so you have to help your brother..."

"Hey, did you hear me?"

"Lily, Lily, damn girl, what are you doing?"

The receiver of the phone was placed next to him until he hung up and heard a busy signal.

Zhang Li curled up on the sofa, her tears already wet the pillow beside her.

*****

"Xiao Chu, today's cucumbers are very fresh. Let me help you calculate the price."

At the end of the day, the market was very busy. When an old lady saw Yan Chu coming, she enthusiastically promoted fresh vegetables from her shop to him.

"Two more tomatoes, okay, I'll pick big and red ones for you, guaranteed to be delicious."

Looking at the screen of the mobile phone that Yan Chu handed over, the old lady understood and weighed it for Yan Chu skillfully: "I'll give you another onion, sweet, cut and served cold, a new variety, let you try it."

After Yan Chu paid, he took the bag of fruits and vegetables, typed thank you on his mobile phone, and handed it to the old lady.

"What are you thanking me for? You're so polite to me."

The old lady smiled. Who wouldn't like such a handsome and polite young man? It's a pity that she didn't have a daughter, otherwise she would definitely tell him.

"Sister, you gave that young man an onion, why didn't you give me one?"

The fat uncle who followed Yan Chu to buy vegetables complained when he paid.

"He's my relative. It's not my duty to take care of him."

The aunt was not happy. Who was the fat man calling elder sister? It was not certain who was younger. Besides, he was not good-looking. If an ugly person wanted to take advantage of me, he would dream!

"Okay, I'll give you a bunch of green onions. You must come to my business often in the future."

The fat uncle got two more green onions. These green onions were not worth a dime, but they were free after all. He was quite satisfied and calmed down immediately.

After leaving the vegetable market, in addition to the ingredients he had originally purchased, Yan Chu's eco-friendly bag had an onion, three kumquats, a piece of tender tofu, and half a pig's stomach. They were all given by the enthusiastic small bosses in the vegetable market. It shows how popular the original body was in this area.

After returning home, Yan Chu put the purchased ingredients in the refrigerator, leaving only tonight's dinner.

He made the piece of tender tofu into spicy and smooth Mapo Tofu, and then mixed a bowl of tomatoes with sugar and a bowl of rice, which was a simple and delicious meal.

The TV was playing the hottest criminal investigation drama recently. Yan Chu came out after washing the dishes. The picture on the TV just happened to show the scene where the bad guys were brought to justice.

Uncontrollably, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, contemptuous and mocking.

Yan Chu shook his head and rubbed the corner of his mouth. He was in a very bad state now. If he stayed at home alone, he would probably have more problems. He would be a pervert.

Resigned to his fate, he took the key and thought that going out for a walk might improve his mood.

"There is only one good mother in the world, and there is a mother——"

The phone rang, Yan Chu looked at the caller ID and answered the phone at the entrance.

Because he was dumb, the phone was a video call. Yan Chu put the phone on the shelf in the entrance so that the person on the other end could see him clearly.

"Xiao Chu, how have you been recently?"

The caller was Yan Chu's aunt, who was also his guardian before he was a minor. The other party was also his only relative now.

Looking at the sign language of the nephew, the middle-aged woman in the video smiled and nodded.

"Then I feel relieved. By the way, Xiao Chu, the daughter of a friend of my aunt is 29 years old this year. She is three years older than you, but she is really nice. She is also a police officer with a career system and a stable income. Moreover, police officers are good, just, and responsible. She is also very satisfied with your conditions. How about making an appointment to meet another day?"

The other party seemed to see that Yan Chu was about to refuse.

"Auntie is not forcing you, but your mother entrusted me before she died. You must take good care of you. I am old, and it is important to see you get married and have children before I can feel relieved..."

The woman on the other end of the phone kept chattering until Yan Chu agreed reluctantly, then she breathed a sigh of relief and showed a happy face: "Then let's do it on Sunday, you all have a rest, and I will notify you when the specific time is. Auntie has seen that girl, you will definitely like her."

After a few more pleasantries, the other party hung up the video call. After this delay, another half an hour passed.

Thinking about the person he will date in a few days, Yan Chu had a headache. The residual consciousness of the original body seemed to affect him again. Otherwise, he should have refused at that time.

In the previous life, the original body failed at the last minute, but failed because of this blind date.

But now it's him, maybe there's no problem, just take it one step at a time.

*****

The night in Linjiang City is still very lively, the lights are as bright as day, and the streets are lined with old people taking a walk after dinner and couples holding hands.

There are also some children running and laughing, and their parents are not far away. Looking at the lively and cute children, they smile kindly.

Obviously, what he saw were beautiful scenes, but Yan Chu's heart was getting more and more blocked. Perhaps for the memories of the original body, the more beautiful they were, the more he wanted to destroy them.

"Sir, would you like to buy a dog? Purebred, very cheap."

While walking slowly, Yan Chu was stopped by a dog dealer along the street. In front of him was a small paper basket with four or five puppies in it. One of them seemed to be sick, lying in the basket with its limbs spread out, tilting its head back, and only making a weak whimper.

Husky?

Yan Chu couldn't tell the difference between a Husky and an Alaskan puppy very well, but looking at the iconic smoky eyes, he didn't know why, he suddenly remembered the naughty Yan Aotian in the movie emperor world.

"These ones cost three thousand yuan each, and this one costs one thousand yuan. Don't worry, these dogs are all healthy. This one just didn't eat enough at night. You can go back and feed some dog food, and I'll make sure he's healthy."

The vendor saw Yan Chu staring at the dangling husky puppy and immediately aggressively sold it to him.

"Our huskies are different from others. They are very obedient. Other people's dogs tear us apart. Our dogs are good at guarding the house. If you can buy a purebred dog for a thousand yuan, you will make a lot of money." "

The vendor talked so much that Yan Chu stood steadily in front of the paper basket, thinking to himself that in his current situation, maybe it would be better to have a dog, which would at least make it more lively.

As for what the vendor said, Yan Chu didn't take it to heart at all.

"Let me call you Aotian from now on, Yan Aotian."

After going to the ATM to withdraw a thousand yuan, Yan Chu had a newly weaned husky in his hand.

"Aww-wow-"

The little puppy sniffed Yan Chu's scent with its black nose and whimpered. He didn't know what a domineering name he had been given by his new owner.

*****

"Did you buy your dog from an illegal kennel or from the roadside?"

After checking Yan Aotian's physical condition, the doctor at the pet hospital said to Yan Chu.

"Yeah, I bought it on the roadside." Yan Chu typed on his phone honestly and handed it to the doctor.

A mute? The doctor couldn't help but take another look at Yan Chu. Under normal circumstances, he would not recommend that Yan Chu keep a dog like a husky in a situation like this.

Because I was so angry that I couldn't even scold the dog. This kind of pain was unbearable.

"For puppies suffering from canine infectious hepatitis, the mortality rate is very high. If you decide to get treatment, the cost may be enough for you to buy several more puppies sold in regular pet stores."

The doctor reminded Yan Chu that it was up to Yan Chu to decide whether to treat the disease or not.

"Awwww——"

The puppy opened his eyes and licked Yan Chu's fingers, seeming to realize that he was about to die.

"Please be sure to cure him." He typed on his phone.

Now Yan Chu has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry. The poor man has only money left. When he bought Yan Aotian, this was his relative. No matter how much money he spent on treatment, he was mentally prepared.

"Until it is cured, it is better to keep the dog here with us. Also, if you want to keep other pets in the future, it is best to adopt them, or choose regular kennels and pet stores, or those dog dealers who sell dogs on the streets. Most of them have no conscience and morals, and if they allow sick dogs to breed, many of the puppies born will be infected with diseases or have defects.”

The doctor gave Yan Chu some advice: "By the way, what is this dog's name?"

"Yan Aotian, take my last name."

Yan Chu squeezed Yan Aotian's little paw and typed a line of words on his phone.

"Ouch——"

The little milk dog responded tactfully, as if he recognized the name very much.

All of a sudden, Yan Chu felt that his mood seemed to be much better. Sure enough, he made the right choice to buy this dog that was likely to tear down the family in the future.

*****

"go home."

In order to help Yan Aotian get used to it better, Yan Chu also purchased a voice player that can play the text he input in voice.

Yan Aotian was lucky. Although the disease came quickly, he was cured in the end. However, the detoxification period of this disease is relatively long. Within half a year, Yan Aotian cannot have contact with his companions, otherwise he may infect other puppies. In other words, the only area where it can move now is Yan Chu's room.

He carried a large bag of medicine, which belonged to Yan Aotian, and then released Yan Aotian from the cage, allowing him to explore freely in his new home.

"Ouch-ouch——"

As soon as it was liberated, it adapted well to the nature of a husky. It staggered to the dining table with its short legs, and gnawed fiercely on a table leg with its little milk teeth.

This was the dog that the hawker promised not to tear down the house. Yan Chu shrugged and went back to the kitchen to cook in a good mood.

Sure enough, dogs named Aotian are very cute beings.

*****

"Xu Duo, what's wrong with your forehead?"

Xu Duo's deskmate asked curiously, pointing to the band-aid on her head. This new deskmate had taken a week off, and she was a little curious.

"Do you tube."

Xu Duo's voice was a bit sharp. She opened the music book in front of her and then covered her face with the book to reject all curious eyes.

"Xu Duo is too bad, let's not talk to her."

The girl sitting in front of them turned back to Xu Duo's deskmate and said, and the other students beside them also nodded. Yes, Xu Duo is the worst.

"Stop talking, Teacher Yan is here."

A little girl ran in, and the originally noisy class suddenly became quiet.

Teacher Yan?

Xu Duo's ears twitched. Not long after she transferred to another school, she often heard other students in the class mention this name. Unfortunately, every time they took classes, she asked for leave for various reasons, and never once did she ask for leave. Have seen each other.

Xu Duo slid the music book covering her face to a certain angle, just enough to expose her eyes, and saw Yan Chu standing next to the piano in the vague classroom with a lesson plan.

That person seemed to be looking at her too?

Realizing this, Xu Duo quickly put the book up again to cover herself.

These adults are so bad.
