The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 761

"Say! Are you a man or a woman! Say it loudly!"

The drunken father completely lost his mind and asked loudly while beating Liu Haoqiang who was cowering in the corner.

"Man! I am a man! Stop fighting, I was wrong, I know I was wrong..." Liu Haoqiang hugged his body with his hands and begged loudly for mercy.

"You are a piece of shit man! You damn sissy! Freak! Broom star..." The father beat him even harder: "Don't cry! Men don't cry!!"

Domestic violence usually lasts for more than ten minutes, until the father has no energy left and falls asleep on the sofa drunk.

Liu Haoqiang silently wiped away his tears, tidied up the messy living room, and even helped his father to the bed, then took out the medical kit and applied disinfectant to his wounds.

Many times, Liu Haoqiang thought about closing the doors and windows at home, turning on the gas in the kitchen, and going to hell with his father.

But she was timid and cowardly. She only dared to think about it in her heart but did not have the courage to take action.

Last night, the reason why her father beat Liu Haoqiang was because he saw small red spots on her jeans that she had not rushed to wash. They were blood stains from her period.

His father did not allow Liu Haoqiang to use sanitary napkins, which he considered dirty and unlucky. However, Liu Haoqiang had no better way to deal with physiological phenomena and could only use toilet paper.

Several times, she made a fool of herself because of this incident and became the laughing stock of the whole class. Her female classmates alienated her, her male classmates ostracized her, and she had no friends.

The head teacher took this matter very seriously and made a special visit to his home to talk to Liu Haoqiang's father about it.

The father's face was full of promise. As soon as the teacher left, he beat Liu Haoqiang severely and called her a bad luck and shameful thing.

In the end, the physical problem remained unresolved, as if it would go away on its own if everyone just pretended it didn't exist.

At this moment, Liu Haoqiang got up, walked into the cramped kitchen, opened the refrigerator, took out the cold steamed buns, steamed them in the rice cooker, a little mustard, and prepared a small bowl of white wine. This was breakfast prepared for his father.

If she wasn't ready, another beating might be waiting for her when she got home from school.

After finishing everything, Liu Haoqiang returned to the room, stood in front of the mirror, took off his shirt, took out a long bandage, and tightly wrapped his well-developed upper circumference tightly until it was almost invisible from the side.

Then, she put on the boy's school uniform, carried her schoolbag, and had short hair, just like a handsome young man.

Liu Haoqiang stared at herself in the mirror and began to practice the wide smile unique to boys. She had to make herself look more like a boy, so that she could gain a little respect from her male classmates and avoid being bullied.

Just when she was almost done practicing, the wound on her collarbone throbbed.

A ray of clear morning light entered the room, casting a ray of white in the mirror, blurring her face.

Suddenly, Liu Haoqiang felt an unprecedented sense of boredom, exhaustion, and deep disgust in his heart: disgust for his father, himself, and the world.

"what!!"

Liu Haoqiang screamed and smashed the wardrobe mirror with one punch. Her white finger joints were bleeding and the "boy" in the mirror was in pieces.

Liu Haoqiang threw away her schoolbag, took off her clothes, and roughly pulled off the bandage on her chest. She stepped on the small bench nearby and took out a small brown leather suitcase from the top of the wardrobe. Inside was the little red dress that her mother wore when she got married. .

She put on her dress and applied the blood on her fingers to her lips, like bright lipstick.

She walked into the kitchen and poured all the breakfast she was still preparing into the trash can.

Then she walked out of the house, satisfied and alone.

Liu Haoqiang, wearing a retro little red dress and barefoot, quickly walked through the Tongzilou corridor filled with clothes, sheets, pickles and bacon. The neighbors who got up early looked at her in surprise, but did not dare to come forward to talk to her.

Soon, Liu Haoqiang left this suffocating tube building and came to the main road. The awakening town was prosperous and vibrant, and the warm morning light dyed the wet streets that had rained in the middle of the night red.

Liu Haoqiang crossed the sidewalk. Opposite him was a group of workers in dark blue work clothes, bustling over. Liu Haoqiang shuttled among them like a red dolphin swimming across the sea.

Liu Haoqiang's steps became lighter and lighter, her breathing became more and more free. She felt happier than ever before. She hummed a song, spun and jumped from time to time, enjoying the sunshine, the fragrance of flowers and the morning dew as much as possible, just like those innocent people in fairy tales who had just escaped from the castle. Princess.

Ten minutes later, she came to a small river, walked onto the stone arch bridge, and stood in the middle of the bridge.

The short-term happiness and freedom based on madness are overdrawn, and what follows is deeper despair and confusion.

She climbed up the guardrail of the stone bridge, faced the morning breeze, and looked at the river at her feet.This small river is at most ten meters wide and two meters deep, and the current is not fast, but it is enough for a girl who cannot swim and wants to die.

Liu Haoqiang took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and imagined that he was a bird that was shot and was about to be carried down.

"Aren't you going to die in such a smelly ditch?"

A girl's voice came from behind, her voice was clear and beautiful, but it had a bit of a ruffian flavor.

Liu Haoqiang was startled and almost fell down. She waved her arms to maintain her balance and slowly turned sideways to look back.

A girl with twin tails in a high school uniform was straddling a bicycle. She held the front of the bike with her hands crossed and a cool, playful smile on her face.

She is very beautiful, with big and bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and a pointed chin. She looks energetic and cute, but also a little unruly.

"You, who are you?" Liu Haoqiang asked.

"Don't worry about who I am, don't you want to jump into the river?" The girl still smiled, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to advise you, I'm just surprised, there are people who really want to die in such a smelly ditch, this is not It’s a bit too bad.”

"It doesn't matter." Liu Haoqiang laughed at himself: "It's death anyway..."

"Yes!" The girl clapped her thigh excitedly: "You are going to die anyway, so why don't you find a better place. This river used to be fine, but now, residents' domestic water and excrement are discharged into it, tsk tsk, How dirty, full of bacteria..."

Liu Haoqiang thought about it subconsciously, and suddenly felt sick.

"And there are water snakes, eels, insects and the like in this river. Think about it, after you die, they will all get into your mouth, lay eggs inside your body, and then give birth to a lot of little water snakes... …”

"Uh..." The girl hugged herself exaggeratedly: "Just thinking about it, I get goosebumps all over."

Liu Haoqiang's face was pale and he had goosebumps all over his body.

"By the way, have you ever seen the sea?" The girl asked enthusiastically without thinking.

Liu Haoqiang shook his head.

"I haven't seen it either. I'm saving money. My goal is to go on a cruise after graduating from high school and see the sea." The girl said, "How about it? Do you want to come together?"

"Ah?" Liu Haoqiang thought he heard wrongly.

"When the time comes, you can jump into the sea. Isn't this better than jumping into a smelly ditch?" the girl said sincerely.

Liu Haoqiang tried to think about it, but his heart moved: Yes, we are going to die anyway, why not choose a better place, the sea, how beautiful it is.

"Then it's agreed." The girl blinked her left eye, "Hey, stop standing on top, you look stupid."

Standing on the stone guardrail, Liu Haoqiang's face turned red and white, and he slowly squatted down.

Soon enough, the girl pushed her bicycle, took a long step forward, grabbed Liu Haoqiang's hand, and pulled it hard into the bridge.

Liu Haoqiang threw himself into the girl's arms, and they fell to the bridge together.

The girl hugged Liu Haoqiang hard with both hands, holding her so hard that she could hardly breathe, for fear that she would run away.

The girl shouted excitedly: "Why can't you think about it when you are young? Are you worthy of your parents who gave birth to you and raised you? You are too selfish..."

When Liu Haoqiang heard this, the grievances he had suppressed for more than ten years suddenly surged into his heart, like a volcano erupting.

"What do you know! My mother is dead a long time ago! My father hates me. He beats me every time he is drunk and whips me with a belt... My classmates hate me and exclude me. No one is friends with me... I am alive. It's selfish. It would be better if I died. It would be better for everyone if I died..."

The girl was dumbfounded: This... is too tragic, right?

"Wow..." Liu Haoqiang burst into tears.

"Eh, eh eh?"

The girl was still lying on the ground, at a loss for a moment. She kept patting Liu Haoqiang on the back: "Actually, this person should be more selfish. You, don't care too much about other people's opinions. Live for yourself...Classmate , please stop crying, can you get up first, my legs are numb from your pressure..."
