Chapter 10 The Day of the Murder
After school, Mancao came to the supermarket opposite the community where he lived. She ate frozen dumplings for a week, and the refrigerator at home was out of stock. It seems that my mother has mistakenly estimated the time of the business trip again. She can only buy something to fill her stomach with the monthly living expenses left by her mother. Although she has no appetite...
The cold air in the supermarket refreshed her a lot. She pushed the car and strolled around the frozen food area. Because it is summer, the supermarket has launched a lot of ice cream and ice cream.
"Mom, mom, I want this!" A cute little girl ran past the grass, stood in front of the freezer counter, pointed to a box of ice cream and shouted.
"No, if you eat ice cream, you won't eat!" The woman who seemed to be the little girl's mother passed by the grass, took the little girl's hand and wanted to take her out of here.
"No! I will eat! Buy it!" The little girl tried to take her mother's hand, looking like she was going to cry and didn't want to leave the counter.
"Last time I also said that I would eat, but I didn't eat two bites and stopped eating!" The little girl's mother also tried to take her daughter away.
"I want to eat ice cream! If you don't buy it for me, I won't leave!" The little girl cried and tried to reach for the counter with one hand, trying to get the ice cream.
When the supermarket staff near the counter saw this scene, they immediately laughed and went to sell ice cream to women.
"Mom, buy it!" The little girl looked at her mother pitifully and then hugged the staff's thighs.
"Stop it, Dad is still at home waiting for mom to go back to cook! Let go... Comrade, I'm sorry, this child... Let go of your uncle's thigh!" The woman scolded the girl angrily.
The sound of this area attracted some customers and staff. A lovely Lori cried and hugged the thighs of a young man in overalls. A woman was angry and tried to drag Lori away. The young man sandwiched in the middle had a crying and laughing expression on his face, and he could only stand still there and was held by Lori's thighs.
The customers near Mancao laughed in a low voice, and only Mancao looked pale.
Seeing that there were more and more onlookers, women felt very embarrassed and had to compromise. "Let's say it first. I'll eat when I buy it!"
"En! Mom is the best!" The little girl immediately burst out and smiled and let go of her hand holding the staff's thighs.
The crowd saw that the mother and daughter took a box of ice cream and put it into the cart. They walked towards the cashier and gradually dispersed to buy their own things. As soon as they turned around, they forgot what had just happened.
There was only one Mancao left in this area. She looked at the backs of the mother and daughter and couldn't speak. She used to be a child who would act coquettish to her parents, but she can't remember the last time she acted coquettishly, when and why.
Coquettishness has become. She really wants to do it, but she doesn't dare to do it. The object that can make her act coquettish no longer exists.
Mancao looked at the frozen dumplings and sweet dumplings piled up in the freezer in front of him and felt disgusted. Push the car and walk towards other areas. Finally, she paid the money and walked home with a big bag of noodles. The street lights in the community have been turned on. Some children in the garden are practicing riding small bicycles, and their parents are sitting and chatting. Mancao diverted his attention, did not look at them, and accelerated the pace of going home.
"Uh..." Mancao was hit by a child practicing cycling, his legs were stained with dust on the tires, and the plastic bag in his hand fell to the ground.
The child's parents saw their child hit someone and hurried over. First, see if your child is injured, and then start to ask Mancao why he didn't look at the road and hit the child's car. The child also relied on his parents by his side, was righteous and did not apologize.
Mancao didn't say anything, quietly picked up the falling bag, and looked at them blankly.
What she is least good at is to deal with such a scene. Even if she feels wronged and wants to say that it's not her fault, she has no confidence.
Mancao hates leaving home. Because when she leaves home, no matter where she goes, she will always see such people and things that she can't be happy with. Especially this year, she didn't want to see such a happy and warm scene of a family of three. People who are inside the door of happiness just need to stand inside the door and be happy secretly. Why do you have to come outside and let the people standing outside the door see it?
Maybe the other party was scared by Mancao's resentful eyes. After saying a few words, he took the child home. Mancao looked at the back of the family of three and went away, and her heart was full of anger.
There is still no one at home. The room was dark because of the night. She didn't want to turn on the light. She just put the bag on the dinner table and lay on the sofa with her schoolbag on her back.
The mobile phone in the schoolbag began to vibrate, and Mancao touched the schoolbag for a while, with a kind of disturbed irritability.
"SMS: I'm going into the game, speed! - Blueberry"
"SMS: I have practiced to level 10. Where are you? - Blueberry"
"SMS: Come on, this game is so deserted! - Blueberry
Mancao doesn't want to move or think. He just wants to lie on the sofa like this and be in a daze. She suddenly felt that there were cute places in hot weather. For example, she could say that she felt weak because of heatstroke, not because of the escape in her heart.
The mobile phone vibrated again.
"SMS: I'm in your cousin's family. Your cousin is so domineering! - Blueberry"
"Text message: Your friend is so handsome, very much like your cousin and me in those years! By the way, Xiao Mancao, what on earth are you grinding! Hurry up and play the game! - Cousin"
Mancao felt that these two people were here to kill her. When she needed someone to be quiet, she suddenly rushed out and asked her to play games.
She stood up from the sofa because she moved too fast and the blood supply was insufficient for a while, which made her dizzy. She fell down without a good time. The pain came from the place where she was hit by the bicycle before. She touched it and the skin was not broken. She guessed in her heart that it was probably a bruise.
How she wants to fall asleep on the ground like this. It doesn't matter if he plays games or not!
Mancao thinks all this is really terrible. In the past, when the two were still together, she spent all her time to please the two people just to make them happy. Now when I walk on the road, I'm afraid to see adults and children traveling together. If I'm not careful, I will touch the scene and hurt, and then the glass heart is broken. She can't keep the two people, she can't change what she wants to change, she can't escape what she wants to escape, there's no way...
"SMS: Are you all right? - No number is displayed"
