Chapter 26 "Don't Touch Her"

Not only did Xu Hao not let go, but he raised his head while dragging Fang Ji: "When I finish cleaning him up, you will be next! Go out and hook up with men when you are old, is it reasonable for you to be a bitch?!"

Fang Ji was so suppressed that he couldn't breathe, his collarbone felt pain again, his fingertips turned white and he couldn't break free, so he could only shout to his sister: "You go home first!"

The weather was too hot, and there was a turbid air in his chest, which he couldn't express no matter what.

Xu Hao lifted him up and punched him on the left shoulder. Fang Ji closed his eyes in pain, sweat and soil melted into those dark round eyes, and the pain made him cry.

How long has it been since you had this experience?The fear was engraved in his bones, making him powerless to fight back.

Xu Cheng rushed forward and was swung away.

Fang Ji forcefully squeezed the big hand that was fastened to his neck. It was as strong as iron and as rough as sandpaper. There was a black mark on his neck, and there was a smell of gasoline, as if it was going to burn immediately.

He squeezed words between his teeth: "Don't touch her."

"Then she's my daughter, I can do whatever I want! You little bastard..." The man cursed harshly, to the effect that he didn't learn well with Xu Cheng, and he taught him a lesson for his mother first. .

He heard Xu Cheng's cries, louder and louder, as if he had returned to the dark and damp house at the beginning, with his thin self, his crippled mother, and a little girl who was always crying and crying.

Xu Hao always beat them up when he was drunk, and teased them when he was sober, buying them a pack of biscuits or two pieces of candy to get rid of the trouble.

Fang Ji once thought that every family has a different way of getting along, and this is just one of them, which is different from what he learned from his father.

When Fang Ji was eight years old, his father died in an accident on the spot, and his mother's legs became disabled as a result.People in the village said that it was difficult for a lame woman and a little boy to find a home, and no one wanted it.

Little Fang Ji still didn't understand, so she innocently said to her mother: "Father said that I am a man, let me take good care of my mother, I will take good care of my mother, and I don't need other people."

He doesn't understand the gossip of his neighbors, or how feudal a village can be.

His mother hugged him into her arms and wept into tears. In the end, he was passed on to Xujia Village. The man took the little girl born to his ex-wife, and the two lived together.

The first time Fang Ji was beaten was because his hands were too small to hold the food. Xu Hao drank some wine and slapped his hands hard with chopsticks. He didn't know how much force he used to forcibly draw out two bloodstains.

Fang Ji cried out in pain, and called "Mom", and the woman's eyes widened in horror.Xu Hao thought he was noisy, so he lifted the table and dragged him into the inner room. When his mother knocked on the door of the outer room, Xu Hao said gruffly, "Don't worry about it! I'll teach him how to use chopsticks!"

At that time, being beaten was commonplace, and when he appeared on campus dirty and bruised, no child wanted to play with Fang Ji.Later, when I got older, I knew how to clean and washed my clothes by myself, but the wounds on my arms and calves that I pulled out with belts couldn't be covered.

Li County is so small, everyone knows what's going on, everyone is sullen and silent, and warns their children: "Don't play with the two children of Xu's family, or I will beat you every time I see you!"

Mother said more than once: "Fang Ji, you are obedient, if you behave yourself, you won't be beaten."

Fang Ji wanted to refute, and wanted to tell his mother that he was already very good, and he didn't cause trouble.

My mother said more than once: "You are an older child, you must protect your family and sister."

Fang Ji did not refute.

He remembered that a long time ago, when his father was still alive, he used to wrap him in his arms and shake him, pointing to his mother who was taking a nap, and said: "When you grow up, you have to take good care of your mother. My mother gave birth to you and suffered so much." Bitter, you must listen to your mother."

Fang Ji replied in a crisp childish voice, "Okay."

Ok.

But now he has not grown up.

He just turned 13.

When she was beaten, she held her sister in her arms and comforted the sobbing girl while shedding tears, "My sister doesn't cry, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Later, a younger brother was added to the family, and the number of men drinking became less, and occasionally he would hug the child to tease him when he was in a good mood.

Fang Ji stared nervously every time, for fear that the man would suddenly throw the child to the ground.

One day Xu Cheng said: "I hate Xu Xingyao."

Fang Ji was puzzled, so he put on a puzzled expression.

Xu Cheng said emotionally: "You care that he doesn't care about me anymore! You all don't care about me!"

Fang Ji was at a loss: "No..." Whether it was Xu Cheng or the little brother, they were all his family members.

Dad said he was a man and should take care of his family.

Fang Ji worked hard.

He fought back against Xu Hao for the first time after entering high school. He took a chair and smashed a deep gash in the man's arm, and went to the hospital for four stitches. The price was that half of his head was mummified and two nails fell off.

Fang Ji couldn't forget standing up on the rest chair in the hospital, seeing his mother limping towards her, with pale lips and deep disappointment in his eyes.

Fang Ji knew that he had made a mistake again.

He failed to take care of his mother, failed to take care of his family.

It was wrong for him to fight back, but he had to fight back.

Xu Cheng gave him a thumbs up, "Exhaust! It's just that the price is a bit high."

Fang Ji's eyes flickered, and he heard his sister ask himself: "Do you hurt?"

He put his hand in the girl's palm, moved lightly, his fingers were stained with blood, thought for a while and said, "It doesn't hurt."

After that, I fought Xu Hao several times, and each time I was injured more seriously.

Mother's hands trembled when she wiped his wound, and asked him why he was disobedient.

"He doesn't dare to do anything to me, so he can't beat his sister or you."

The mother burst into tears, hugged his head, and whimpered. The eight-year-old boy has grown into a teenager, and he mustered up the courage to ask the woman: "Can we leave him?"

"Then what about your brother?" Mom looked at him, full of pain, but still said, "Xiao Yao can't live without Dad."

Fang Ji's mind went blank.

After giving birth to the little brother, the mother's health became worse, and her legs became more severe and she could hardly walk. She sat on that bed for many years to coax the child, and the little brother became her all support.

"You are still too young, and I can't explain many things to you clearly." She stroked Fang Ji's cheek, Fang Ji was 16 years old, and he was still a good boy in front of his mother, "I don't blame you, but you can't do this again By the way, Xiaoyao has grown up, and your Uncle Xu also promises to stop drinking, so you should study hard and don't think about anything else."

In the last year of high school, he didn't go to school, and found a part-time job near his home. Xu Cheng began to mix with some people in the society, learned to paint heavy makeup, and smoked cheap cigarettes.

Fang Ji only met her once, and beat up the two boys around her. Xu Cheng pushed him away, stared at him, and said hoarsely, "Why do you care about me? My dad doesn't care about me!"

"Why don't you go to class?"

Fang Ji couldn't be fierce to his family, his eyes were fixed on his sister, his pupils flickered, as if he was the one who was beaten.

Xu Cheng responded to him: "You are not the same."

They were all taking the worst path, and they were all falling in the dust.

In the last year of high school, Xu Hao gave up drinking as promised, found a stable auto repair job, became obsessed with playing poker with his colleagues for small money, and gradually stopped venting his anger at his family.Fang Ji took a single move, and chose the z school closest to home when he applied for volunteers.

He was born in Fangjia Village, Li County, and ended up trapped here as well.

Small towns have no secrets.

But everyone is tight-lipped.

Like if you didn't see it, it didn't happen.

The town is old as a relic, and so are the people who live in it.

"I'll fucking beat you to death today!"

Just as Xu Hao finished speaking, he was hit hard on the back suddenly, and his whole body fell forward, his hands loosened. Fang Ji took this opportunity to break free from his shackles, rolled on the ground, put his knees on the ground, raised his eyes First he saw a rough wooden board, then a pair of brand new white sneakers and light blue slacks, exposing the boy's ankle.

Ji Shizhou stood there, against the light, like the sun or a god.
