Su Jingbai glanced at me. "Didn't you say that the island might sink? I have to buy myself a coffin and get ready?"
For a while, I couldn't find anything to refute.
Finally, gnashing his teeth, "don't worry, my private money is enough to buy you a coffin!"
"It should be my private money right away." Su Jingbai corrected.
Then she turned back and took a long breath at the ceiling of the bottom warehouse, "the family that adopted me lived near the wharf. My stepfather was a sailor."
"Once?" I asked.
Su Jingbai said, "I was a sailor before I got married. Later, when I worked at sea, my legs were stuck in the control cabin and became disabled, so I was not qualified to board again."
Fortunately, the sailor's girlfriend did not abandon him, but married him and planned to take care of him all his life.
"What a woman, willing to marry a cripple, right?" Su Jingbai asked me.
I thought, "after all, I want to marry love."
Love is a kind of thing that will dazzle people's mind and make people ignore everything. They just want to fall into the beauty they weave.
Su Jingbai smiled softly, "yes, she married love, but she also married into the grave."
After marriage, women try to earn money to support men, and also try to get pregnant and have a crystallization of love.
But several years later, there was no movement at all.
It's not a woman's problem. It's the sailor's typical asthenospermia. Even if the test tube is carried out, nine times out of ten it will fail.
"When a man's self-esteem and future were gone, he began to go crazy. He felt that my adoptive mother despised him and even looked for men outside.
Even under such circumstances, my adoptive mother never gave up her love. In order to recover this deformed love, she decided to adopt me and form a completed family. "
Su Jingbai's eyes were a little gentle when she mentioned her adoptive mother.
It can be seen that in that tragic childhood experience, the adoptive mother is the only bright and gentle existence.
"Don't try to figure out what my past is like. Just listen to what I say." Su Jingbai seemed to be able to read his mind and reminded me.
I immediately coughed, "sorry, you go on."
"I'm not the crystallization of their love, so the sailor thinks I'm just a tool used by his adoptive mother to perfunctory him, or even humiliate him. After all, others can be so powerful that they can give birth to children and throw them away, but he can't get a child in his life.
He hates me very much. He always beats me and scolds me. In cold weather, I just sleep on the ground wrapped in a thin dirty quilt.
Later, he began to beat my adoptive mother and me. When my adoptive mother couldn't bear it and said she wanted a divorce, he quickly apologized in tears, beat himself and said he would never do this again. Then when my adoptive mother forgives him, he will start again
Until the last time, he was crazy and took a knife to cut me and my adoptive mother. My adoptive mother got a knife on her arm and shed a lot of blood. She had to pull me to escape. Seeing that he was about to catch up, the adoptive mother hid in the bottom warehouse with me. "
The ship soon left Nancheng and went to a place they didn't know.
The adoptive mother was afraid that the sailor would follow her, so she didn't dare to show up. She and Su Jingbai lay down in the bottom warehouse for seven days.
"We ran away in a hurry and had no food. Fortunately, a water pipe in the bottom warehouse cracked and would seep out. We relied on that water for seven days."
Hearing this, I finally understood why Su Jingbai said when she got on the ship that the limit of people was very high.
She has really experienced it, so she knows how high the limit is.
Although I grew up in an orphanage, I can't imagine how terrible this life is.
It's terrible, beyond my imagination.
Su Jingbai continued, "when I couldn't see my fingers at the bottom of the warehouse, I didn't know what was going on around me. I only knew that there was a smell of decay. Later, when I got ashore, I found that my adoptive mother's wound was rotten and I could see bones."
"What happened to her?" I asked with concern.
Su Jingbai sighed, "she died not long after she landed. She didn't endure to go back to Nancheng with me."
"She can live a happy life earlier." I sighed, too.
"Yes, I thought so at that time. When the police escorted me back to the sailor, I asked myself in my heart why the person who died was not me. At least in this way, I don't have to endure these pain anymore.
That night, I was severely beaten, so sad that I wanted to commit suicide, but when I picked up the kitchen knife to cut myself to death, I hesitated. Why must the dead be me, not the bad guy? "
"So? You hacked him? " My eyes widened in amazement.
At that time, Su Jingbai was only a teenager. She already had such a strong psychological quality. Did she dare to kill?
Perhaps my voice was too loud, which made Su Jingbai look at me unhappily, "do I look like such a cruel and cruel person?"
"Now, but I didn't know when I was a teenager." I answer honestly.
"At that time, I didn't dare to cut him, so I tied him up with a cable tie and threw him into the cellar. He was really useless after starving him for seven days. My adoptive mother and I could last seven days in the bottom warehouse, but he died directly. I didn't dare to deal with the body, so I blew up the cellar."
When talking about how to deal with the sailor, Su Jingbai was as calm as telling other people's stories.
"I take back what I said just now. You have been cruel and cruel since childhood." I said.
"What do you know? He ruined everything for me." Su Jingbai said angrily, "you may not imagine that such a bad man, who was dying, kept apologizing to me, saying that he was wrong, that he was a bastard, and that he would be good to me in the future. It was very true. I almost believed it."
My throat suddenly choked.
Because there was a picture in front of me, a skinny teenage girl, wrapped in a dirty quilt, curled up in the corner, while a demon was locked in the cellar not far away, crying and repenting, begging her to let herself out.
The little girl didn't dare to let him out. She couldn't even sleep with her eyes closed.
As soon as you close your eyes, you will think of the dark days lying in the warehouse with your adoptive mother. The tip of your nose is a faint smell of decay.
It was the woman who married the sailor, the stench of love decay.
