C3 People Hanging on Shelves

"Right."

As he drew closer, his breath on my face, I saw that look again, like that night ten years ago.

At this moment, I finally understood. Ten years ago, she looked at me with resentment instead of pity.

Perhaps it's because I remembered what happened back then, but his actions became abnormally rough. I could only endure it.

Pain, still pain, my nerves were almost numb, my body was like a small boat in a storm, swaying along with the wind and rain, waiting for the dawn.

The storm-like onslaught finally stopped, and the heavy sounds of my breathing could be heard. My body finally relaxed and my head twisted to the side, until it was grabbed by a hand.

"Look at me."

"Why? Isn't that enough? You've achieved your goal. "

"Not yet. My wife loves me very much. She is willing to give birth to my child, but you are not."

Those cold eyes looked at me, and I suddenly found it funny. He had just turned into a human being, completely devoid of human thought.

"Do you know what love is?"

I smiled coldly as my eyes shifted to the side. The pain from my lower body kept coming. This was his revenge, a ruthless attack on my body.

"Of course I do."

He grabs my chin, his fingers clawing so hard that my head is wrenched away, and all I can do is watch as the face continues to approach, his breath on my face.

"This is just the beginning of the game. I will make you fall in love with me, and then I will kill you. Only then will I feel satisfied."

"Give up. Never." I grit my teeth, and he grabs my jaw. It hurts, and his fingers are so strong I feel like my jaw is going to shatter at any moment.

"Humans' greatest weakness is that they think too highly of themselves. Before it ends, anything is possible." The fox looked at me with a sneer.

"Can we leave now?"

"Leave!"

He coldly snorted and actually laid down beside me. A hand stretched out from under my shoulder and used the momentum to push my body over.

"Why did you leave? When you've finished paying your respects, you will be my woman. You will belong to me alone, and no one will ever dare to come near you again."

My body was still cold and stiff. I couldn't feel the temperature of his body at all. He was actually lying in the embrace of a complete stranger. Just now, he had spoiled my body.

The moment he closed his eyes, his tears couldn't help sliding down.

I hate myself for being so weak. If I had thought of a way to deal with it from the beginning, things might not have turned out like this.

I'm sorry, Liu Yu! I am no longer a clean woman and am no longer worthy of your love for me. You can hate me, curse me, hit me, you can all do it.

Where's that damn fox!

When I opened my eyes, the sky had already brightened. The moment that I regained consciousness, I instinctively retreated backwards.

The bed was empty, half the quilt had fallen off, and I was alone in the room.

He really left!

I heaved a sigh of relief. Just as my body was about to move, pain came from below. That fellow brutally entered my body last night. It was so painful that I felt like I was about to faint.

"Damn fox!"

I hit the quilt hard, and suddenly the door creaked a few times and my mother called out to me, and I said yes and got dressed and walked slowly out of the room.

"Dad, you're okay!"

As he pushed open the door, he saw his father sitting at the dining table with chopsticks in his hand and a small wine jug in front of him.

"What can happen!?" It's just that I accidentally fell and broke my head a little. Girl, didn't you start school already? Why did you return it? " Dad looked at me, stunned.

"Come back and see, Dad. You don't want me to come back?"

Father picked up the wine cup and took a sip, "It's not too bad, these few days I've been having nightmares. In the mountains, a fox has always been following me."

"Fox!"

The chopsticks in my hand fell to the ground, causing my father to be stunned for a moment. "It's just a dream. There used to be a lot of foxes in the mountains, but now, it's almost all gone."

"Oh."

Mom kept her head down, picking up the chopsticks from the ground. I knew that I must not let dad know about what happened last night. Dad doted on me since I was young, if he knew, I would definitely go and fight that damn fox.

I know that I can't fight them, so I can only endure.

Maybe soon the fox will tire of my body and leave, I want to protect my loved ones. I look up, and my mother is looking at me, tears in her eyes.

"Mom, let's eat."

After dinner, I hid in my room. Dad kept looking at me, and I tried to pretend that nothing had happened. I couldn't do anything, so I hid myself.

That fox didn't lie to me. If I didn't agree, he really would kill my father.

"His Third Aunt, Dazhu's wife is about to give birth."

"Sigh."

Mom answered and I curled up on the bed. My head felt like it was about to explode. I thought of many ways, even thought of death. If I died, would the fox let my family off?

My mom learned a little medicine when she was young, so she usually goes to the village to help out when she needed help.

Our village is relatively remote, if there is a head ache and brain fever, most of the people will be able to get away with it if they can't go to the hospital.

Creak. The door creaks open. Hearing that sound, I almost instinctively scream out.

"Miss, it's Dad."

I was breathing heavily, and my face must have looked awful. My father stood in the doorway, frowning.

"Nothing, I was thinking about something just now."

His father coughed, "Don't always lock yourself up at home. Your second sister-in-law is about to give birth. Second sister hasn't come back yet and Second Mother's health isn't well either. You should go over and see if you can help!"

"Alright."

I agreed and the door slowly closed. I took a deep breath. I was really scared. Two consecutive nights had been a nightmare for me.

I dressed and walked out into Second Sister-in-Law's yard. The woman's voice called out, and I stopped slowly. It sounded scary, like the sound of a pig being slaughtered on New Year's Day.

There was someone coming in and out, and the basin was full of red blood.

The dead fox had said that when I got pregnant, he would cut open my belly and take my baby out, and he would skin me.

I squatted on the ground as cold sweat kept pouring out of my body. I couldn't continue like this. The fox was here to avenge my wife and children, not just to take over my body, but to kill me in the end.

I jogged all the way. The door to San Ye's house was open, so I walked into the yard. The door wasn't locked, so I tried a few times, but I couldn't open it.

San Ye was the only one in the village who understood that. He was the one who came to visit last time, so I didn't want to die.

"Lord Third, Lord Third!"

San Ye is my family, so if I ask for help, he will definitely help me. San Ye won't come out no matter what I say. I could faintly hear a sigh coming from inside: could it be that San Ye is scared?

I had no choice but to walk out of the courtyard and suddenly a hand grabbed me.

I cried out 'ah', and the moment that hand touched me, the fox turned into a man's face once again in my mind.

"Is it that scary?"

I instinctively took two steps back to calm my nerves. It was only then that I could clearly see that the one standing in front of me wasn't a damn fox, but a different man.

"Why are you here!"

I frowned for a moment. The man in front of me had a scoundrelly look on his face. His pair of eyes were sneakily staring at my chest, wishing that I could see through him.

The guy in front of him was called Liu Sheng. His father was originally the village chief, and originally didn't have much ability. For some reason, he suddenly became rich and became the head of the village.

Liu Sheng relied on this to do whatever he wanted throughout the day. He had gotten together with the hoodlums before graduating from junior high school. He chased me during junior high school. I didn't agree. Every time I met him, I would pester him for a while, especially annoying him.

"I missed my sister!"

Liu Sheng looked at me with a naughty smile. I did not want to bother with this rogue and was already in a bad mood. I tried to walk past him, but Liu Sheng jumped in front of me to block my path.

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave, Su Lin. I'll chase after you when you're in middle school. Don't fail to appreciate my kindness. My dad is the mayor right now, so I still have to go to the county."

"Get out of the way."

I replied snappily, pushing my hands forward. I didn't expect that Liu Sheng would grab hold of them and touch the back of my hands a few times.

"Let go, I'm going to call for reinforcements."

"Shout. It's best if everyone in the village knows about it. If they do it right in front of you, let's see who dares to marry you in the future."

"Rascal."

"Right, you're right. You're a scoundrel. I've fallen for you."

Liu Sheng's head leaned over. I was really worried now. This rascal is capable of doing all kinds of useless things. In a moment of anxiousness, I immediately crashed into him.

"Aiyo."

Liu Sheng cried out and released my hands to cover my face. I quickly rushed over, and after running a few steps, Liu Sheng chased me from behind in a flustered manner. He hugged me from behind and grabbed my chest with both his hands.

"If you dare hit me, you won't be able to escape. Sooner or later, I'll let you get on my bed, and I'll smash you to death."

"Let go."

"It's rare for Brother Sheng to like it."

I felt Liu Sheng's mouth approaching me from behind. I fiercely turned around and slapped him. Liu Sheng was stunned by my slap and quickly recovered his wits. He pushed me down to the ground.

"Don't mess around."

"So what if you are? I'll force you on now and then go propose marriage."

After Liu Sheng finished his sentence, he began to untie his pants. I immediately panicked, this rascal could do anything, and this place was very remote. While he was busy undoing his pants, I kicked his crotch, and heard Liu Sheng's scream as he crawled up from the ground and ran.

"Su Lin, just you wait! If I don't beat you to death in your bed, I'm not Liu Sheng!"

"Go to hell!"

I ran towards the front and shouted out in anger when I heard Liu Sheng's words.

When I got home, my parents were already there. Liu Sheng didn't dare to act recklessly, so I went straight back to my room and got into bed.

"You dare to touch my woman? You're courting death."

That voice, I peeked out from under the blanket and looked around in horror. No, there was nothing, not even a shadow, let alone a person.

It's the voice of a dead fox. I grit my teeth. Why can't I see anything?

I lay in bed, not wanting to move, until the afternoon, when the sky began to darken and the fear came back to me.

The damn fox will come back. He won't let me go.

The night had become my nightmare, and I wished that the day would never pass.

During dinner, I tried to eat slowly, dawdling, helping my mother pack up. It was already eight in the evening, and my father went back to his room to watch TV.

"Miss, I've wronged you."

"Mom, it's okay, it's really okay."

"Did you get bullied?"

"No!"

I lied and looked at my mother. I didn't want her to feel sorry for me.

"Mom."

"What's wrong?"

I shook my head. It would still be useless to stay with her for a while longer. What was coming would eventually come. Forcing myself to stay here would only harm my mother.

The door opened slowly, and my steps were so heavy that I almost stepped inside. The moment I heard the door close, my heart gave out and I took off my clothes to lie down on the bed.

That night, the damn fox actually didn't come. I took off my clothes and waited on the bed until midnight. Finally, when I couldn't sleep anymore, I opened my eyes again. It was already dawn.

It was so noisy outside. I quickly put on my clothes and walked out. There were quite a few people gathered at the entrance. What is going on?

It can't be my dad!

The fox didn't come last night. Could it be that I accidentally offended that guy?

Panicking, I opened the door and ran outside, quickly pushing through the crowd.

I was so shocked by what I saw that I forgot to shout. There was a person hanging on a wooden shelf in front of my house.

It was Liu Sheng who pestered me yesterday. I thought that he had already returned to the town and could not believe that he was now hanging on the wooden shelf by the entrance.

Liu Sheng had his eyes closed. His neck was wrapped by a thick tree branch, and both of his legs were kneeling on the ground. The scariest thing was that both of his hands were broken, and his stomach was ripped open by something, causing blood to flow all over the ground.

It was a matter of life and death!

"Isn't this the son of the village chief? Why did he die here?!"

"That's right, didn't we move to the town?"

I slowly stepped back. Yesterday afternoon, I heard a sound by my ear. It was that fox that killed Liu Sheng. Due to its two hands touching me, it was forcefully cut off.

After stumbling a bit, I fell to the ground, my whole body was ice-cold. Even if that scoundrel Liu Sheng had ill intentions towards me, he still couldn't kill me.

This was too scary.

Looking at the scene of Liu Sheng's tragic death, it was as if I could see myself, and I was even more ruthless. Not only would I have to cut open my stomach, but I would also have to skin me alive.

The intense fear made me lose control and I was unable to stand up. My body desperately retreated as that terrifying voice sounded in my ears once again.

"You're mine, no one is allowed to touch you!"
