I cried so hard that I could barely catch my breath.
"I... I..."
"What happened?"
" Liu Asi, he... he..."
"What happened to him?"
"He... he..."
I was crying so much that I couldn't speak.
My sister patted my back and comforted me, "Zhao Di, don't be afraid, take your time."
I sobbed, " Liu Asi ruined our lives, and I can't do anything about it."
"I... I..."
"I hate him!"
"I hate him!"
I cried, "Why doesn't he just die?"
"Why doesn't he just die?"
"Zhao Di..."
My sister held me tightly.
She gently stroked my hair.
"Zhao Di, don't be sad."
" Liu Asi has done so many bad things; he will eventually get what he deserves."
"You don't know, these past few days, I've been having nightmares every night."
"I dream that Liu Asi comes to catch us, and we can't escape."
"I..."
I cried, "Sister, I'm scared."
"Don't be afraid."
My sister patted my back.
"Zhao Di, don't be afraid."
"Sister, I... I..."
I was crying so much that I couldn't speak.
I leaned on my sister's shoulder and cried for a long, long time.
My tears eventually ran dry.
I fell asleep.
I slept deeply.
When I woke up, it was already late at night.
I opened my eyes and found my sister sitting by the bed, sewing clothes.
When she saw that I was awake, she smiled and said, "Zhao Di, you're awake?"
I nodded.
I rubbed my eyes and said, "Sister, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Sister replied, "I can't sleep."
She touched my forehead.
"You have a fever."
"I'm... I'm fine."
"I made you ginger soup. Drink it, and you'll sweat it out."
"Okay."
I sat up.
Sister brought the ginger soup to me.
I drank the ginger soup and lay back down.
I slept uneasily, constantly having nightmares.
I suddenly woke up in a cold sweat.
Gasping, I looked around the pitch-black room.
The room was silent.
Only the ticking of the clock could be heard.
I wiped the sweat from my forehead, and my mood gradually calmed down.
I glanced at the time; it was just past 3 AM.
I lay back down, closed my eyes, and tried to fall asleep again.
However, I simply couldn't sleep.
As soon as I closed my eyes, Liu Asi's sinister smile appeared before me.
Feeling restless, I decided to get up.
I took out a fruit knife from the drawer and began sharpening it slowly.
In my heart, I swore: Liu Asi, I will never let you go!
I sharpened it for seven days and nights.
On the eighth night, just as I had fallen asleep, a rustling sound suddenly came from outside the courtyard wall.
Sister and I lived in an urban village.
The urban village was small, with only a few buildings and hundreds of households.
Sister and I rented a small room here.
The room was quite shabby; the window was broken, and the door couldn't close properly.
We lived on the second floor, with a small courtyard below us.
The courtyard was cluttered with many items, including some discarded wooden boxes and old bicycles.
Sister and I were both very tense.
We held baseball bats and stared at the window.
Suddenly, a shadow climbed over the courtyard wall.
I was startled and almost cried out.
Sister quickly covered my mouth.
She shook her head at me.
I nodded in response.
I held my breath, watching the shadow.
The shadow jumped into the yard.
He walked toward our room.
He moved silently.
However, he didn't look strong.
Sister and I exchanged a glance.
I tightened my grip on my baseball bat.
Sister gripped her fruit knife tightly.
We stood side by side, ready for anything.
The shadow reached the windowsill and stopped in his tracks.
He stood there, motionless.
Sister and I both held our breath.
We watched him, our hearts racing with tension.
Suddenly, a bright light shone in from the balcony.
I focused and saw Huang Xin.
He was perched on the wall, smiling at us.
He tossed a plastic bag over to us.
In a low voice, he said, "Don't be afraid, it's me."
He rode off on his motorcycle and disappeared in an instant.
