143. Abnormal self-redemption
"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 harm them."
The little fat man raised his head and nodded solemnly. Looking at such innocent eyes, Yan Chu calmly typed a line of words on the tablet, and then moved it in front of the little boy.
"A hero who truly protects children will not choose to kill those demons, but will help the children stay away from the demons."
The original person 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 thoughts, making them feel that killing is right, as long as the person killed is a evil person.
"Why?"
The little fat man didn't quite understand what Yan Chu's question was written on the tablet.
"But if we don't kill those demons, won't those demons find those children again?"
The little fat man's rhetorical question made Yan Chu unable to answer, and the conversation between the two suddenly reached a deadlock.
"My mother used to cry every day because my father would beat her whenever he was drunk. Sometimes he would use the broom at home, and sometimes he would use wine bottles and chairs at home. I was locked in a room, but I could hear my mother. Crying, I kept calling for dad and mom until my voice became hoarse, but no one ever paid attention to me. "
The little fat man sat on the grass in the flower bed, hugging his knees with his hands and curling up into a ball: "Mom always said that she can't divorce because of me, but I don't need her to do this? I don't need to eat meat for every meal. I don’t want Lego toys, I just want my mother not to be beaten. Those uncles, aunts and uncles asked my mother to endure it, saying that my father was just drunk and confused, and he would change it. But those fists didn’t hit them, so why should they forgive my mother? Woolen cloth?"
Just like pouring out bitter water, the little boy sobbed and said to Yan Chu.
Children at this age are not that old, but they are sensitive and fragile in a strange family. There are some things they dare not tell others. Only Yan Chu gives them enough confidence that the other party will not tell them anything. Tell the secret.
"Anyway, I'm very happy now, Teacher Yan, thank you, thank you for listening to me complaining so much. My mother and I will be free from now on, and we will live a very happy life every day."
The little fat man took out a candy and put it on Yan Chu's hand just like Yan Chu had done to coax other students. Then he wiped the tears from his face and trotted away. His steps were light and joyful, as you can imagine. I know his mood at this time.
The candy in my hand has been in my pocket for who knows how long. The weather is so hot now that the sugar coating has long stuck to the fruit candies inside.
Yan Chu put the candy into his mouth. The fructose was sweet but sour, and it tasted pretty good.
This child...
A trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and then his frown lifted.
He is different.
He won't experience that kind of true despair, and the nightmares that once plagued him have been purged, so he won't become another kind of evil.
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 great influence on him.
Really... I really want to...
kill!

"Xu Nan, you are back."
The door of the apartment was opened, and a gentle man with a briefcase came in from the outside. He put on his slippers with a cold face, then sat on the sofa nearby, rubbed the bridge of his nose and relieved the sore eyes.
The words of the young wife at home fell on deaf ears.
The young wife, the woman who appeared at Mingxing Elementary School this morning wearing heavy makeup and asking for leave for her children, had an embarrassed expression on her face. She twitched her lips and pushed the little girl next to her.
"Duoduo, call daddy quickly."
The little girl about eight years old hugged her mother's thigh and hid behind her, showing her face timidly and not daring to speak.
"Xu Nan, let me get you a glass of water."
The space was too oppressive. Zhang Li felt the man's growing impatience and ran into the kitchen in a panic, poured him a glass of water and handed it to his hand.
"You fucking want to burn me to death. Do you want me to die and then remarry with the little mute you gave birth to?"
The glass was thrown heavily to the ground, with a loud bang that frightened Zhang Li and the little girl behind her to take a step back. Some of the scattered fragments scratched Zhang Li's exposed calf, cutting several pieces. A small opening was made, and her daughter behind her was protected by her, but she was not harmed in any way.
"Wow--"
Xu Duo's wails made the man who had been out all day even more irritable. Zhang Li wanted to cover her daughter's mouth, but it was too late.
"Cry, cry, cry. I know how to cry all day long. I made you mute when I called you daddy. How can I cry and make trouble now? I have worked hard to earn money outside, feed you, clothe you, and let you read well. School, you are just like your useless mother, here to suck my blood."
"No, that's not the case."
Zhang Li protected her daughter and said with her body trembling slightly.
"Shut up."
Xu Nan directly pulled Zhang Li's hair: "How dare you talk back to me? Do you know that you and this little brat are both raised by me now, and those useless trash from your family will only give to me every time?" You are causing all kinds of trouble, you are all spending my money, and you can’t even take care of a man, so 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 woman 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 obedient, and make Xu Nan less angry. "
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 his 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."
After get off work in the evening, the vegetable market was very busy. When an aunt saw Yan Chu coming, she enthusiastically sold Yan Chu the fresh vegetables from her shop.
"I want two more tomatoes, okay. Auntie will pick big and red ones for you. They will be delicious."
Looking at the screen of the mobile phone handed over by Yan Chu, the aunt understood clearly and quickly helped Yan Chu weigh it: "I will add another onion for you. It is sweet. You can eat it after cutting it into salad. It is a new variety for you to try."
After Yan Chu paid the money, he took the bag of fruits and vegetables, then typed thank you on his mobile phone and handed it to his aunt.
"Thank you for nothing. You are still polite to me."
The aunt was smiling, who wouldn't like such a handsome and polite youngster? It's a pity that she doesn't have a daughter, otherwise she would definitely tell him.
"Sister, you gave that young man an onion, why don't you give me one too."
The fat uncle who was buying groceries behind Yan Chu complained when he paid.
"That's my relative. It's not right to take care of him."
The aunt is not happy. Who should this fat man call eldest sister? It is not certain who is young. Besides, he is not handsome either. People who are not good-looking want to take advantage of him. What a dream!
"Okay, I'll give you a handful of green onions, and you'll come to my business more often in the future."
The fat uncle got two extra green onions. These green onions didn't cost a dime, but they were free after all. He was quite satisfied and stopped immediately.
After coming out of the vegetable market, in addition to the ingredients he originally purchased, Yan Chu's reusable bag contained an extra onion, three kumquats, a piece of tender tofu, and half a pair of pork belly, all of which were kindly presented by the enthusiastic little bosses in the market. This shows how popular the original person is in this area.
After returning home, Yan Chu froze the ingredients he bought in the refrigerator, leaving only tonight's dinner.
He made the tender tofu into spicy and smooth mapo tofu, then mixed a bowl of tomatoes with sugar and added a bowl of rice, making it a simple and delicious meal.
The TV was playing the most popular criminal investigation drama recently. Yan Chu came out after washing the dishes, and the picture on the TV happened to show the scene where the bad guys were brought to justice.
Uncontrollably, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, showing contempt and ridicule.
Yan Chu shook his head and rubbed the corners 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 either a pervert or a pervert.
Taking the key resignedly, Yan Chu thought that going for a walk might improve his mood.
"Mom is the only good person in the world. Damn it—"
The phone rang. Yan Chu looked at the caller ID and answered the phone at the entrance.
Because he was mute, the phone call was a video communication. Yan Chu placed 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 lately?"
The caller was Yan Chu's aunt, who was also his guardian before he was a minor. The other person was considered his only relative now.
Looking at her nephew's sign language gestures, the middle-aged woman in the video smiled and nodded.
"Then I'm relieved. Xiao Chu, by the way, is the daughter of one of my aunt's friends. She is twenty-nine this year. She is three years older than you, but she is a really good person. She is also a policeman, has a career, and has a stable income. Moreover, the police are good, just and responsible, and they are quite satisfied with your conditions. Why don’t we make an appointment to meet you some other time.”
The other party seemed to see that Yan Chu was about to refuse.
"Auntie, I'm not forcing you. It's just that your mother asked me to take good care of you before she died. I'm getting older. It's important to see you get married and have children so that you can rest assured..."
The woman on the other end of the phone was chattering. It wasn't until Yan Chu had no choice but to agree that she breathed a sigh of relief and looked happy: "Then let's go on Sunday. You all have a rest. I will let you know the specific time then. Then My aunt has seen it, you will definitely like it.”
After a few more pleasantries, the other party hung up the video call. After such a delay, half an hour passed.
Thinking about the person he would go on a blind date with in the next few days, Yan Chu had a headache. The remaining consciousness of his original body seemed to have affected him again, otherwise he should have refused at that time.
In the previous life, the original person fell short of success, but he was defeated by this blind date.
But now that it's him, maybe there won't be any problem. We can only take one step at a time.
*****
Linjiang City is still very lively at night, with lights as bright as day. Both sides of the road are filled with old people walking after meals and couples holding hands.
There are also some laughing and running children, followed not far away by their parents, looking at the lively and cute children, smiling kindly.
Obviously what he saw were beautiful scenes, but Yan Chu felt more and more panicked in his heart. Perhaps for his original memories, the more beautiful they were, the more he wanted to destroy them.
"Sir, do you want to buy a dog? Purebred ones are very cheap."
While walking slowly, Yan Chu was stopped by a dog seller 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. He was lying in the paper basket with his limbs spread out and his head on his back. He scratched his head and only let out a feeble whimper.
Husky?
Yan Chu couldn't tell the difference between huskies and Alaskan cubs very well, but looking at the iconic big smoky eyes, he didn't know why, and suddenly thought of the naughty Yan Aotian in the movie king's world.
"These are three thousand yuan each, and this one is one thousand yuan each. 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'm sure he'll be alive and well."
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 one 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 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 only has 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 the 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 all so bad.
