Tender as wild

She didn't know if there was too much cold wind blowing during the day. One afternoon, she felt something was wrong with her body temperature. She took a thermometer to measure it and found that her fever reached 38 degrees.

Baili sighed. Her health was not bad, but she always got sick every year, most of which were due to accidents.

He opened a box of antipyretics with ease and swallowed it. After the medicine took effect, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

There was no moonlight outside the window, and the room was pitch black. Baili's breath was filled with heat, and her throat was dry and hoarse. When she got up to drink water, she heard the neighbor downstairs yelling something angrily in the yard on the first floor.

"It's unethical. It's causing a mess in the area. I don't know if it's poisonous or not."

Bai Li was really not in the mood to care about what happened again. After drinking water, she continued to shrink back into the quilt and raised her eyelids heavily.

Suddenly, I noticed a layer of white stuff floating outside the window.

In this season, there is no snow.

She was shocked.

Ignoring my groggy head and weak legs, I put on my slippers and walked to the window, my pupils contracting suddenly.

It is obviously summer, but the background color at night has turned silvery white. The fourth floor is still clean, and the residents on the ground floor, including the tops of the leaves, are covered with a thick layer of snow.

This kind of out-of-season snow is not beautiful.

Three huge snow-making machines were still humming, and snowflakes spewed out from the wide machine mouths and scattered in all directions.

The crew held a huge lantern and were handing out red envelopes to the disturbed residents, expressing their apologies and telling the residents not to panic. The crew would bear all losses.

How can you not panic?

Bai Li almost panicked to death, and the familiar feeling of threat came one after another. She took a deep breath, ignored the pain, changed her clothes, picked up her mobile phone keys, and prepared to leave here.

However, as soon as she grasped the door handle, she was a little unsure whether it was the right time to go out at this time.

suddenly.

There was a knock on the door. Baili's heart shrank wildly and she didn't dare to answer.

The man outside the door did not leave, but shouted: "Hello, is anyone there? Sorry to bother you, our crew will temporarily add a night scene. We would like to compensate you for the inconvenience caused."

Baili lowered her eyes and wanted to shout no need, but there was severe pain in her throat and her voice was hoarse.

The man thought there was no one here, so he moved away.

The corridor suddenly returned to silence.

There was no peephole. Bai Li lay by the door and listened for more than ten minutes. Then she ran to the balcony to look, only to find that Chang Li was here again. It seemed that he had received news from the crew. He was wearing a suit and standing straight at the bottom of the corridor. Watch closely the people passing by.

In this way...even if Ms. Hu does show up, she probably won't be able to come up.

This is probably the safest place.

Thinking of this, Bai Li breathed a sigh of relief. She sat on the sofa dizzily. She got up every thirty minutes to take a look at her surroundings. She also heated a cup of cocoa and brought it to Chang Li downstairs, who held it in his hands. Sure enough, there was a photo of Ms. Hu, and he comforted her: "There are many residents upstairs and it is not convenient for us to go up. You can sleep peacefully. We will not leave tonight."

She slept in a daze until four o'clock. Suddenly she heard the sound of rummaging in the room. She didn't dare to move and listened carefully.

Suddenly, a hand reached out and patted her face, and a familiar voice could be heard clearly.

"Bai Li, wake up."

Baili's heartbeat surged instantly, and her blood flowed backwards at this moment. She gritted her teeth and opened her eyes, only to see a strange and stiff face next to her bed.

Very strange. Not Ms. Hu’s face.

She was startled and wanted to scream, but no sound came out of her throat. She could only ask in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?"

Hu Qingmei had a weird smile on her face, "I'm mom!"

Bai Li thought it was impossible. She even wondered if she hadn't woken up and if it was a nightmare. When Hu Qingmei saw her shock, she suddenly cried and covered her face.

"You have also seen what my mother looks like now. Su Ling burned my face. I spent all the money on plastic surgery, but I still haven't recovered. My daughter, I'm not here to hurt you. I want to ask you to borrow 100,000 yuan." Money, mom knows you have money, and if you take the money, mom will become more beautiful, so I promise not to come here again, okay?"

It was as if someone had pressed the pause button on the screen.

Baili's hair stood on end, and she struggled to accept this fact, but she was on guard and said hoarsely: "Go away and come back during the day. I will take the money and give it to you tomorrow."

Ms. Hu stopped crying and said with a hint of surprise in her voice, "Really?"

Bai Li nodded, "It must be true, I am your daughter."

"Okay, I'll come tomorrow." Hu Qingmei stood up hurriedly. It seemed that she was really doing it for money.

But Bai Li didn't relax at all. She quietly got up from the bed, reached for the anti-wolf spray under the sheets, and stared at Ms. Hu without blinking.

really.

Ms. Hu had just taken two steps when she suddenly turned around. Looking at the high-grade velvet wooden box next to her pillow, her smile spread and she asked curiously: "What is this?"

Baili was in despair.

She was sure that the current Ms. Hu was not normal. Her hair was messy and she looked very much like a madman she had seen before, or the female beggar she saw on the overpass.

The box was a ruby ​​gift from Fang Ye. She didn't want Ms. Hu to take it, so she pressed it under her body and said, "It's nothing."

The stiff smile on Hu Qingmei's lips faded, "I recognize the mark on the box. It's a gem, right? Is it all your fault that I'm so miserable?"

Bai Li didn't understand the logic behind these words. Her heart was beating wildly, and every beat was like hitting her throat.

The sound of the woman's approaching footsteps made her heart tremble, and her almost ethereal thoughts were also terrifying.

"Daughter, you don't have to wait until tomorrow. Give me that gem and I will never come again."

"It's all your fault. I've lived in this slum for so long. I want gems."

She is crazy.

This was Baili's first thought.

She couldn't bear it any longer, so she sprayed Ms. Hu's face with anti-wolf spray, then hugged the blue box and prepared to run, but she was pulled by a pair of broken nails and someone knocked her to the ground with her head.

Hu Qingmei closed her eyes in pain, but she was Baili's mother. The mother and daughter had one thing in common, that is, they could endure.

She endured the bitterness in her eyes, took out the knife from her waist, and stabbed Baili hard, "Do you think mom is crazy? Mom is indeed crazy. She often feels not so clear. She was locked up until she regained consciousness. I finally ran out of the lunatic asylum in the city. It took me a long time to find you. But! The more my mother wakes up, the more painful she becomes. What a beautiful face. Even if ten Su families are gone, there will still be people who will support me. How can I say this? If it’s gone, it’s gone.”

The first knife penetrated Bai Li's wrist.

She continued: "Bai Li, you are still disobedient. I asked you to give mom gems, so just give it. Mom will kill you now, and she will destroy the body and eliminate all traces. Otherwise, mom will be imprisoned in a lunatic asylum. I wouldn't have done it in the first place." I deserve to give birth to you."

Baili took a deep breath, then took out a bottle of anti-wolf spray from the corner and sprayed it on her face.
