"Which sister?" Shao Zilong and I were both a little confused.
"Little crazy sister." Haitang raised her head and said.
I asked a little strangely, "Who is the little crazy sister?"
"I don't know what my sister's name is, but the people in the lunatic asylum call her the little madman," Haitang said.
When we heard this, we were even more surprised, "What madhouse?"
"Red River Lunatic Asylum." Haitang turned over the grilled fish and said.
I asked carefully and found out that Haitang was talking about a mental hospital not far from Shimen Village, just along the Red River.
However, I had specifically searched for things about Honghe before, but I did not find the Honghe Mental Hospital.
"Oh, there's no sign there. My father said it was called Red River Lunatic Asylum." Haitang explained.
It suddenly dawned on me, no wonder I couldn't find it, but it only made me more interested in this lunatic asylum.
"Is this little lunatic sister you are talking about living in a lunatic asylum?" I asked Haitang.
"Yes." Haitang nodded.
Shao Zilong asked strangely, "How do you know me?"
Haitang paused while grilling the fish in his hand, and his face turned pale, showing a hint of fear, "I... When I was young, I was chased by two bad guys, and I accidentally escaped near the lunatic asylum..."
"When did it happen specifically?" I was moved in my mind and asked Haitang to explain it in detail.
"It was me... what happened a few months before my parents passed away." Haitang whispered.
Shao Zilong and I didn't know how to comfort her for a moment, but we didn't expect that this would inadvertently touch the little girl's sadness.
But Haitang quickly went on to say, "I was playing by the river with my neighbor's sister that day." At this point, she added, "No one else wanted to play with me, but my neighbor's sister was the only one who was nice to me. "
We both nodded.
"While we were playing, two people came over from the entrance of the village. One of them came up and handed us candies with a smile." Haitang continued, "My neighbor's sister and I both shook our heads and said no."
"The man smiled and said it was okay, and forced it on us. Then he pointed to the right side of his chest and asked us if we knew there were children in the village who had their hearts grow here."
Shao Zilong and I looked at each other.
"When my neighbor's sister and I heard this, we were a little scared. We shook our heads and said we didn't know, and turned around to leave." When Haitang said this, her breathing became a little rapid.
"Because my parents told me that if someone asks me this, I must not tell them, and I must go home quickly."
"My neighbor's sister and I had just walked a few steps when the two men caught up with us. The man who wanted to give us candy grabbed us both, called another man, and touched our chests."
"As soon as the man touched it, he said, 'Brother Hao, it's both!'"
When I heard the word "Brother Hao", my heart skipped a beat and I asked, "Did he say 'Brother Hao?'"
Haitang nodded, "I remember it very clearly, and I kept having nightmares afterwards."
I asked Haitang again what those two people looked like.
However, due to the long time, Haitang's memory was still good, so her appearance of the two people was a little vague, but judging from her description, they did look a bit like Liu Hao and Zhou Xiang.
I have been exploring what the Honghe River that Liu Hao meant before his death. Now it seems that Liu Hao and Zhou Xiang are indeed very likely to have been to Honghe Village.
"Go on." Shao Zilong couldn't wait any longer.
Haitang hummed.
"My neighbor's sister and I were both frightened, so I took out the amulet my mother gave me from my pocket and threw it at Brother Hao."
"What amulet?" Shao Zilong interjected and asked.
From Haitang's description, it should be a jade pendant engraved with a charm, which was used for Haitang's self-defense.
"Brother Hao was hit by the amulet. He let go of us with a sigh and fell to the ground. My neighbor sister and I took the opportunity to run away!"
"Brother Hao yelled and chased us with another person. The two of us ran as fast as we could into the village, but when we ran to the vegetable field, our neighbor's sister accidentally sprained her foot."
"In desperation, I pushed my neighbor's sister into the vegetable field, turned around and ran in the other direction. The two people didn't see the neighbor's sister, so they kept chasing me."
"I ran all the way to the river and jumped in. Who knew the two people also jumped in? I had to swim forward desperately. I don't know how long it took. I really had no strength, so I had to surface to see look."
"As soon as the result emerged, someone grabbed me by the neck and picked me up. I was so frightened that I kicked and screamed."
"Were you caught by those two people?" Shao Zilong asked nervously.
Haitang shook his head, "I took a closer look and saw that the person carrying me was tall and thin, wearing blue striped clothes, grinning and laughing, but it was not those two people."
"I asked him to put me down quickly, and the man kept laughing and said, 'It's delicious, it's delicious.' He stuck out his long tongue, licked my face, and ran away with me!"
"The man ran very fast. I almost fainted from the jolt. When I was confused, I saw a high wall in front of me. It was covered with green vines, and there were spikes and barbed wire on the wall."
"The man threw me up, and I flew over the wall. When I was falling, the man unexpectedly climbed over the wall again and caught me."
"How high is that wall?" Shao Zilong asked with a frown.
"That's the wall of the lunatic asylum. It's about five or six meters high." Haitang said.
Shao Zilong glanced at me.
I understand what he means.
According to Haitang's description, the person who captured him was wearing blue striped clothes and crazy. He was obviously a patient in a lunatic asylum.
The wall was five to six meters high, with spikes and barbed wire on it, but the opponent was able to climb over the wall and catch Haitang again the moment he threw her. If Haitang remembered correctly, this was no ordinary lunatic.
"I fainted after being tossed around like this." Haitang continued, "When I woke up again, I felt so hot."
"I opened my eyes and found that I was in a big pot. The water in the pot was getting hotter and hotter. The tall, thin weirdo was adding firewood under the pot."
"I looked around hurriedly and found that I was in a large room. There were many people wearing blue striped clothes. They all looked strange. Some stood with grinning lips and looked at me, and some looked at me. Walking around slowly, some squatting in corners."
"I was so scared that I jumped out of the pot when the man wasn't paying attention and ran away. As soon as I ran, the tall and thin weirdo rushed over and chased me."
"As a result, while arresting me, I accidentally bumped into another person, and the two sides started fighting on the spot. Later, it spread to other people, and the room suddenly became a mess."
"I was so scared that I ran around. The house was very big and there were many rooms. There were people in blue striped clothes. These people were very strange and kept talking."
"Some people saw me and acted as if they hadn't seen me. Some people saw me and suddenly ran over to chase me. Soon I was followed by a bunch of people."
"I was almost bitten on the leg by a fat man, and rushed into a room in desperation. The strange thing was that those who were chasing me suddenly stopped as soon as they reached the door of the room."
