Chapter 34 The Life of a Villain
Jiang Qi looked at the content on the screen. What was played here was the same as what he had just watched, but it was not exactly the same.
What everyone just watched in the real world was more like the essence version, the edited and condensed plot, cutting out the long and boring plot and only watching the essence.
The one here is the uncut version, which shows all the villain's behavior. It feels like watching a day at double speed. Although it is very real, it is quite boring.
Jiang Qi and the middle-aged man watched together for a while. The middle-aged man did not speak during the whole process and kept staring at the curtain, as if there was a very exciting plot being played on it. The middle-aged man's originally numb eyes gradually revealed a sparkle, and he watched mesmerizedly, like a fanatical movie fan.
He is the only one in this cinema.
Jiang Qi looked around and found that the door he came in from was open. He glanced at the content on the screen. It was still the boy's carefree childhood. There were older brothers and sisters at home. The boy didn't have to work because he was young, so he just ran to the fields and played wildly every day. The plot was very boring.
Looking at the slightly yellow door, Jiang Qi walked out.
It still looks like a theater, very dilapidated and quiet, with dim lights, no people, and a stale smell in the air. In this atmosphere, Jiang Qi wouldn't be surprised if a ghost suddenly floated out from the corner in front of him.
"Is...is there anyone?" Suddenly, a weak female voice came from the front, and Jiang Qi ran after hearing the sound.
She is a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, with a sallow complexion and withered hair. She is wearing a white robe of the same style. She looks like she is having a bad life.
The girl looked at everything around her with a frightened face, like a panicked bird, clutching the movie ticket in her hand. Jiang Qi stepped forward to take a look and found Wang Erya written on the movie ticket.
Wang Erya?
Isn't this the role Qin Can got?
Just when Wang Erya was frightened and wanted to find a corner to curl up and hide, a young lady wearing a theater employee uniform ran quickly, walked up to Wang Erya, and said softly: "Guest, what do you have? need help?"
Wang Erya looked at the staff and asked timidly: "You...who are you? Where are you?"
"Guest, your movie is about to start. Please don't stay here. Please go to the theater to watch the movie." The staff said with a smile, without answering Wang Erya's question.
Jiang Qi knew by looking at Wang Erya's expression that she didn't understand what the staff said. This girl, who could tell at a glance that her life was miserable, could barely hide anything on her face, with all the joy, anger, sorrow and joy written on it.
Wang Erya looked at the staff with some confusion, and became a little bolder: "Go...where?"
At this moment, the cinema announcement sounded.
"The movie in Theater 3 will be played soon. Guests in Theater 3 are invited to go to the theater to watch the movie."
The staff led the way with a smile: "This guest, please come with me to Cinema 3. The movie will start soon."
Wang Erya followed the staff into Cinema 3. Cinema 3 was basically the same as the cinema where Jiang Qi had stayed before. Wang Erya walked to the curtain and wanted to reach out and touch it, and the movie started.
He is still a little person, but instead of being taken to the temple fair by his mother, he is a newly born little person.
Wang Erya was instantly attracted by the content of the movie. Like the middle-aged men in the theater before, she stared at the curtain intently.
The villain was born in a poor family with an older sister. Because the family did not have enough food to eat, his mother had no milk, so the villain could only drink rice soup and water to satisfy his hunger since he was a child.
The little person was very thin and could not stand up when she was very big. Her parents were too busy working to take care of her. Only her sister taught her how to speak, crawl and walk. The little person grew up slowly.
The mother gave birth to two more younger brothers and sisters. The elder sister began to help the mother work, and the villain took over the work of the elder sister and took care of the younger brothers and sisters. There are more children in the family, so there are more mouths to eat. My mother works in the fields all day long, and my father leaves early and comes home late at night. In addition to farming, he also has to work in other people's homes. Even so, the year-round harvest is not enough for the family after paying the rent.
The villain's sister died of illness.
The villain was very sad and cried while holding his sister who died of illness. But the villain's parents were very indifferent. They dug a hole in the back hill and buried her hastily without even wrapping it in a cloth or a straw curtain.
The little man's mother gave birth to another little man, and the little man continued to take care of his younger brothers and sisters.
The villain's sister disappeared suddenly. She looked for her sister everywhere, but she couldn't find her anywhere. The little man went to tell his parents that his sister was missing, but his father ignored her. His mother hugged the little man and cried. The little man was a little at a loss and could only continue to look for his sister.
The villain did not find his sister, but suddenly there was more food in the house, and he had enough to eat for the first time.
The little man began to help the family with work, washing clothes, lighting fires, pulling weeds, and collecting firewood. Suddenly the villain's parents had a fight. The villain's mother was very sad and hid in the house crying. The villain was very worried about his mother and kept guard outside the house.
After crying, the mother took the little man to the temple fair in the town. The temple fair was very lively, and it was the first time for the little man to see so many people. The mother bought candy figures, steamed buns, and red headbands for the little person. After the temple fair, the little person went home happily with her mother, but her mother did not take her home, but took her to the town. Big house.
The mother handed the villain to another stern villain, wiped her tears and exchanged it for three large bags of grain, and went home carrying the grain with her father who suddenly appeared.
The villain suddenly realized why his sister was missing.
The candy man that the villain had been reluctant to eat was taken away by the villain in charge, and the red headband was also snatched away by other villains.
The villain became the rough maid in the house, and had endless tasks to do every day, such as washing clothes, moving things, and chopping firewood. The other villains would bully the newcomer. The villain has to do more work than others every day but only has one meal to eat. He has no quilt to sleep in and can only quietly go to the woodshed to wrap straw.
Only during the holidays can a villain go to the kitchen to pick up some leftovers that the host does not want. Even the villain cannot grab good leftovers.
The villain likes to celebrate the New Year the most, because during the New Year, the master’s family will reward money, and even the rough servants like her who are responsible for boiling water and chopping firewood will be there. The villain quietly saved the money and hid it in the woodshed.
The villain gradually grew up, and she kept repeating her previous life, with endless work to do and enough food to eat every day. New villains appear around her every year. Some villains are transferred to maids who have easier work, and some villains get sick and die. She was the only one who stayed in the woodshed in the backyard year after year, never seeing the owner's family, working silently, eating less than the dogs in the front yard, and living as tenaciously as a weed.
The villain began to look outside the wall quietly. She wanted to go out. She always went to the woodshed to see the copper coins she had secretly saved over the years. The villain doesn't know that she actually earns wages, even though it's very little. Her wages have been stolen by the villain, and the wages of all the handymen in the backyard have been stolen by the villain.
The copper coins hidden by the villain were discovered by the villain in charge.
The villain in charge stole the villain’s savings. The villain broke down and cried when she found out that the copper coins were missing, but she still had to work.
The villain started to make things difficult for her by the villain in charge. She had more and more work to do. If she couldn't finish her work, she would have no food. The villain was so hungry that he secretly picked up food from the slop bucket at night and was discovered by the villain in charge, who beat him up.
The villain is sick, very sick. The master didn't come forward and ordered the villain in charge to find someone to roll up the villain with a roll of broken straw mat and throw him out of the house.
The villain finally left the house.
The villain wants to go home, but she doesn't know the way home.
The villain couldn't stand up and could only crawl on the ground. There was a temple fair going on in the street, which was very lively. The villain was regarded as a beggar by other villains. They pitied her for her young age and threw her a copper coin.
The villain grabbed the copper coins and saw a villain holding a child in front of him to buy candy.
The little man climbed to the candy man stall to see the candy man.
The villain did not climb over.
The villain died, lying quietly on the ground, still holding the copper coins in his hand.
