Chapter 143: Horse in the gap, fire in the stone, body in the dream
It was not until Mei Zi was a senior that ** Ping and his wife finally had some free time. When they had some free time, they felt sorry for not spending much time with Mei Zi since she was a child, so they decided to take a vacation and took an 11-hour train to visit her at school.
Originally, I went there to see how Mei Zi was doing, to take care of her, and to make up for her parental love. However, this visit caused a complete rift between the two sides.
The second day after they arrived, the school club night event happened to be held. Mei Zi just said that she couldn't come out because of something, and gave them some travel guides to some lively places in the city and let them go around on their own.
But after they discussed it, they both felt that having fun was not important. It would be better to go to the children's school to take a look at the environment and see what the living conditions were like. So they went straight to the school without saying hello to Mei Zi or bothering her.
When I got there I found out that the club night was actually a performance event. It was quite lively. They had been setting up the stage and lighting since noon, and the decorations were very professional.
The two became interested and stayed until the actual performance in the evening.
As a result, when the performance started, the two of them were stunned.
The first performance was Mei Zi wearing a spirited Tai Chi outfit, followed by four students who came on stage to perform Tai Chi.
Mei Zi performed her moves very well and heroically, which drew applause. The two people in the audience had mixed feelings, proud of her and angry at her for hiding the truth.
After the performance, Mei Zi stayed on the stage. After the host introduced her, the two learned that Mei Zi had founded a Tai Chi club in the school and was the president of the club. The entire club had recruited 20 to 30 students, all of whom were led by Mei Zi.
The two were very surprised. They didn't know where Mei Zi got such great interest from. They had forced interference with her once in their senior year of high school, but she was still so energetic.
When the microphone was handed to Mei Zi, Mei Zi asked and answered questions with the host, and the two people, who were already shocked, felt like they were struck by lightning.
Mei Zi said that she had been practicing Tai Chi for ten years without interruption. She had converted to Taoism and had taken a Taoist priest as her teacher, learning the authentic ancient Tai Chi.
He said that his dream is to promote Tai Chi, learn his master's skills, cultivate his character, and become a cool preacher.
** Ping and her husband could no longer hear what was said afterwards. They felt as if they were struck by lightning. Their minds were filled with the thought that their daughter had converted to Taoism and would follow a group of mysterious Taoist priests to engage in feudal superstition.
**Ping panicked and immediately went backstage to intercept Mei Zi who was about to leave.
Mei Zi was also very surprised to see the two of them. Seeing that they kept asking her about learning Tai Chi and becoming her apprentice, she refused to answer and just kept driving them out with a tense face.
Mei Zi's resistance made ** Ping extremely anxious and angry. At this moment, she heard her daughter arguing with her husband, saying that she ran so far away because she hated their control. It was not enough to control her when she was a child, but now she was hiding so far away, and they had to chase her here to control her.
**Ping was about to slap him, but before she could hit him, Mei Zi grabbed her hand tightly, saying that the two of them had been like this for many years and had not changed at all, and would use violence to solve problems if they were not satisfied.
The three of them had a big fight on the school playground. Many students came to watch, and nearby teachers also ran over to find out what was going on. The scene became more and more ugly, and finally ended in a bad mood.
The next day, the two men calmed down and wanted to have a good talk with Mei Zi, but Mei Zi refused to answer their calls. So the two men had no choice but to go to school again and found her downstairs of the dormitory.
After finding her, the two of them patiently persuaded her, analyzed her current employment situation and the resources available to her by **ping's husband, and earnestly explained why she had to apply to the School of Architecture, the support her family could give her, and the path that could be paved for her.
In the end, Mei Zi said that she didn't care. No matter how noble the road they paved was, she was still at their mercy. She said that her ideal in life was to live in the mountains and rivers, free and unrestrained.
Neither side could convince the other, and finally Mei Zi became impatient and told them to just pretend that she had never been born and that she did not exist, and that everyone should just turn a blind eye.
The two were so angry that they had another big fight with Mei Zi. **Ping's husband said he wanted to break up with Mei Zi. Mei Zi agreed with a sneer and said it would be better if it was true. She hoped that they would never interfere in her life again.
The two of them left Dong Province that day in anger. They only sent Mei Zi a fixed amount of living expenses every month and never even called her again.
It was not until Mei Zi graduated that ** Ping could not help but call Mei Zi again to bring up the old matter, asking her to come back and that her family would arrange a job for her.
As a result, Mei Zi hung up directly, and her bank card was cancelled afterwards, so the two of them couldn't even transfer any money.
It was half a year later that they got in touch again. The police from Dong Province called and asked them to go pick up Mei Zi. They said Mei Zi was in the hospital. After surgery, she had barely survived, but was paralyzed below the chest.
The news was like a bolt from the blue. The two were confused and bought tickets to fly to Eastern Province overnight. When they arrived at the hospital, Mei Zi had just woken up. Her eyes were red and swollen. When she saw the two of them, she just turned her head away stubbornly and said nothing.
After asking the police, I found out that Mei Zi was acting bravely. She encountered a group of gangsters bullying a girl who looked like she had just entered the society in the alley late at night. Mei Zi relied on her kung fu skills and fought with them with her bare hands.
The gangsters had been drinking, and were weak at the beginning of the fight. Mei Zi had the upper hand, and kicked several of them down. But the gangsters had been fighting for years, and they fought with ruthlessness. When they saw a group of people being taught a lesson by a little girl, they gradually became angry and started to touch bricks, take out knives, and throw wine bottles.
Mei Zi was defending herself from these vicious attacks while taking care of the girl next to her. Soon, she gradually lost the upper hand and was stabbed in the spine by one of them. She was in so much pain that she couldn't stand up. She was stabbed 13 times in a row. The girl next to her was not spared either and was stabbed three times. Finally, the gangsters ran away, and the girl's boyfriend, who was hiding, called the police.
The knife that stabbed Mei Zi's spine injured her nerves. Although the police were called in time and the ambulance rushed there at the same time, they only saved her life. Her entire body below the chest was paralyzed, which was irreversible.
The girl who was saved by Mei Zi was only stabbed with three wounds. After getting stitches and bandages, she struggled to come see Mei Zi. After calling home and paying all of Mei Zi's medical expenses, she cried out of breath and was forcibly isolated by the doctor.
There was no surveillance in that alley. The rescued girl was caught off guard and was dragged in. She was too flustered to remember the faces of the people. Only her ex-boyfriend who had broken up with her provided some clues, saying that there were seven people in total. The leader had dyed yellow hair and was probably in his forties. The police are still searching for the suspect.
**Ping was stunned after hearing this. She couldn't even cry. She just felt like she was dreaming and all her senses were dull in the dream.
