That night, Lei Hui had a nightmare. Lei Meng slaughtered her cow, and the mouth of the cave was filled with blood. When she woke up, she broke into a cold sweat. She turned on the light and walked out of the room, went to her parents' bedroom door, knocked on the door, and said, Mom and dad, wake up, I dreamed that someone was slaughtering our cow.
For a moment, there was father's voice inside, Huihui, the dream was the opposite, impossible. Lei Hui said stubbornly outside, maybe my dream is a kind of induction. I heard my mother say to my father inside, just get up and go to the bullpen to take a look.
Dad soon put on his clothes and got up. Lei Hui was a little timid at night. Now she went to the cattle pen with her father and shined a bright flashlight. There was a green light, and he was still chewing something in his mouth. Lei Hui remained silent, but her father blamed her for being nosy.
The next day, I heard that the cow of a family in the west of the village was missing. The family was looking for it on the mountain but could not find it. When I asked Lei Hui, she remained calm. Thinking of what Lei Meng had said to her, she shook her head, but she was very worried that one day Lei Hui would Meng assassinated her cattle on the mountain.
That night, Lei Hui was in the main room when she suddenly saw a familiar figure walking in. He was Lei Meng. He was carrying a bunch of beef and said to her father who was sitting and smoking a cigarette, I heard that your children like to eat beef. I sent some specially. The beef was fresh and pink in color. Dad looked at it and frankly said, "What should I do if I don't have money to pay for it?"
This hanging beef is for your family to eat. How much does it cost? Lei Meng's gift seemed sincere, but his father still didn't believe it. He didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, so he said, "Take it away. We don't eat beef."
What are you being polite about? I, Lei Meng, have always been generous, and I will give it away as I say, just take it.
Dad didn't take it, so Lei Meng threw the beef on her dining table. He glanced at Lei Hui, who was also looking at him strangely, smiled slightly, and turned around and left. Seeing that Lei Meng did not break his promise, Lei Hui felt that this guy was a thief and he had some credibility.
Soon, another family's cattle disappeared while grazing on the mountain. I searched for several days to no avail. Someone asked Lei Hui, and Lei Hui shook her head. She suspected that the butcher was responsible, but she would not tell anyone. In the evening, Lei Meng brought beef again, but Lei Hui's father refused to take it, saying that he didn't pay for the beef you sent last time. Lei Meng said, what do you pay, I will give it to your family.
Of course Lei Hui knew that Lei Meng wanted to keep her mouth shut, but her father was confused and picked up the beef Lei Meng put on the table and forced him to ask, why did you give away the beef to my family for free? Lei Meng couldn't tell the truth. He was stunned for a moment and made up a lie. Your Lei Hui is pretty good. When I was selling beef in the town and closing the stall, she helped me clean the stall. She was very diligent. The child is so well-behaved. I will give you a piece of beef. What's not to like in return? Besides, I can earn it.
Lei Hui's father put the beef back on the table, looked at Lei Hui and said, "Please clean Uncle Lei Meng's beef stall more often to avoid eating other people's beef in vain." However, he looked at Lei Meng and said, "Don't ever send me beef again. I will accept the beef you bring me this time." Lei Hui had never helped Lei Meng clean the stall. She remained silent, feeling that Lei Meng was insidious and interesting.
Since the cattle grazing in the mountains of several families have disappeared recently, someone reported the case, and the police were dispatched to the village and up the mountains to investigate, but to no avail. This alarmed Lei Meng, and he restrained himself. For a long time, he pretended to be a good person and would not do that.
A few years later, cattle disappeared again in the village. Lei Hui still remembers the bad things Lei Meng had done, and suspects that it was him. Once, when I came back from school, I met Lei Meng who smelled of beef. There were no other students around. She said, Uncle Lei, are you still doing bad things now? If you continue like this, sooner or later you will be exposed. Even if I keep your secret, it won't work. Lei Meng said, what should we do? Lei Hui said, you have many ways, no matter how many ways you have, you can't do anything harmful to nature.
After hearing this, Lei Meng was very unhappy. He stared at Lei Hui, "Do you dare to say that I have done something evil?" Lei Meng simply refused to do anything. He hugged Lei Hui, who was only 13 years old, and said, "Look, I am going to do something that is harmful to nature."
Lei Hui struggled and said, Uncle Lei, let me go, I was wrong. Lei Meng didn't listen to her, he covered her mouth with one hand so she couldn't scream; he clamped her waist with the other hand so she couldn't move. Lei Meng took her to the sugar cane forest on the roadside and raped her. Then he gave her a hundred dollars and told her not to tell anyone, just like he kept the secret of poisoning the cow on the mountain.
Lei Meng put on his pants and spoke louder, "Even if you say this, it will not be good for you. Even if my reputation is bad, your reputation will be even worse. You will never marry into a good family in the future."
Lei Hui knew the stakes and left the sugar cane forest without saying a word. Lei Meng felt that he had conquered the girl. He approached her and suddenly smacked her face with his smelly mouth several times. Lei Hui touched the face he had kissed and said with a sideways glance, "You are bad, you are a gangster!"
Lei Meng smiled lewdly and threatened half-heartedly, if you spread this news, I will kill you with a knife that kills cattle.
Lei Hui returned home and took out 100 yuan to read it again and again. She had never been given so much money by her parents in her entire life. She was happy and afraid at the same time. She was happy because the money could buy a lot of things that girls needed, but she was afraid that the money came from an improper source and was dirty money. But after all, others don't know about the dirty money, as long as you keep it secret. Lei Hui slowly became more silent.
A few days later, she hung up a pair of sharp earrings. When she went to school, a female classmate asked her how she had money to look pretty. She whispered that it was money given by her mother. At home, her mother asked her why she wore the earrings. I didn’t give you any money. How did you buy them with the money? Lei Hui pondered for a while and then lied. A rich female classmate in our class gave it to me. She is now wearing a pair of more beautiful earrings. Mom still didn't believe it, looked at her and asked, what does this have to do with you, even giving her earrings?
No. Lei Hui grabbed her mother's shoulder, put her lips close to her ear and said, I help that female classmate with her homework every day, and she gave me this earring as a reward. Her mother laughed believing it was true, and Lei Hui, who was always worried and frowning, also giggled. She whispered again, "Mom, if you like it, I will give you this pair of earrings."
I do not want. Mom said, Mom likes it when you dress up beautifully.
That evening, Lei Meng, who had not been here for a long time, brought another rack of beef to Lei Hui's house and told her family with the same lie, "I still want to thank your girl. She helped me clean the beef stall a few days ago." , I owe your family a favor and send you some gifts as a reward. Her father always didn't understand why Lei Meng was so enthusiastic? But I didn’t delve into it ideologically.
At this moment, Lei Hui looked at Lei Meng and scolded him in her heart, saying that the weasel was giving New Year greetings to the rooster - it was not a good intention. Lei Meng glanced at Lei Hui and found that she was different from the previous days. She had put on a pair of earrings, indicating that she was dressed up. Looking at the earrings hanging on her temples, he suddenly smiled and approached Lei Hui. Lei Hui turned away. She didn't like the smell of beef emanating from him.
