Chapter 45 Trinket and Yoko(1/2)
The editor in charge of Nathan Bookstore contacting new writer Bon-Yeye is still Pan Yi.
After receiving the manuscript, Pan Yi immediately sent it to the deputy editor-in-chief.
The deputy editor-in-chief said that he would personally participate in the review of Teacher Wu Ye’s works in the future.
"Horse Bingye sent two short stories this time?"
The deputy editor-in-chief was a little surprised. Under normal circumstances, writers only contribute one story per issue.
Thinking about it.
The deputy editor said: "I will read "The Mantra of God" first, and you can see the quality of another article."
"OK."
Pan Yi nodded quickly.
Back at the desk, Pan Yi rubbed his hands with some expectations.
It’s really amazing that “Chain on Earth” last month’s never sleeping, so exciting that Pan Yi has been looking forward to the other party’s new work.
The short story that Pan Yi is preparing to read is called "Little Ornaments and Yoko".
Like "The Chair on Earth", the name is based on Chuzhou background.
The story begins.
Pan Yi saw this sentence:
[Suddenly, something fell from the upper floor, and I heard the aunt screaming. Wearing dirty clothes, my face was exactly the same as mine, lying on the ground.
There is nothing to doubt Yoko's suicide.]
Um?
Pan Yi was a little surprised.
This sentence does not have a clear cause and effect, but it makes people unable to help but think divergently and associate with subsequent content.
A very special writing technique.
I came up and told the reader that a man named "Yoko" committed suicide.
Keep watching.
This is actually a subject of domestic violence?
The Marquis of Beasts tells this story in the first person "I".
My name is Yoko.
I have a twin sister named Xiaoshang.
We were born at the same time and looked exactly the same.
My father left the home when my mother was pregnant and never came back.
We were abandoned.
My mother treats me very badly and beats me up and abuses me at any time, but she treats my sister very well. Her food and clothing are like a little princess.
"Yoko, you are your sister, please give in more to everything."
"I was born to you, and it is my freedom to live and die!"
These are what mom always said.
It is normal for my mother to like small accessories.
The small ornament is beautiful and lively, and when you smile, it will look like a flower suddenly blooming.
She is also loved by her classmates and teachers at school. Sometimes she will leave the remaining food for me, so I like her very much.
Once.
I accompanied Xiaoshu to have dinner with two classmates, and they bought three burgers.
Xiao Jie took a few bites and spit out again. She shared it with me. She told her classmates that I was willing.
I was really willing to eat it happily.
Just like at home, Xiaodian will share the remaining food with me.
If you can eat delicious burgers, it will be fine to exchange them with my kidneys.
Later I met an old lady.
My mother-in-law's dog was lost, so I helped her find it back.
My mother-in-law was very grateful to me and invited me to visit her house. She invited me to eat a lot of delicious food, such as my favorite burger.
"If you can't change others, try to change yourself."
My mother-in-law once said to me like this.
...
Pan Yi frowned tightly.
The story is told in the first person of my sister Yoko.
Although the tone of the person involved was plain and ordinary, Pan Yi felt heavy and dark, and felt a sense of depression that his back was cold. One was from his mother's abuse of Yoko, and the other was from his habit.
Yoko seemed to have never thought about resisting.
She seemed to be a domesticated dog, and she actually felt that all this was normal. She was also a mother and daughter, but she didn't deserve those beauty!
This moment.
Pan Yi thought of the sentence at the beginning of the story, and Yoko jumped off the building and committed suicide.
"wrong."
Pan Yi suddenly discovered a problem: "The opening passage does mention Yoko's suicide, but the perspective is in the first person!"
Pan Yi also made a special confirmation at the beginning.
That sentence is [a face that is exactly the same as mine is lying on the ground].
It won't be...
Pan Yi thought of some possibility, his heart beat faster and his eyes widened and continued to look.
There are still many descriptions of mother abuse of Yoko in the following text.
The mother seemed to have an inexplicable hatred towards Yoko. Even if she was in a bad mood, she would vent her vent on the sister and leave her smile to her sister.
Is this a foreshadowing?
Why does mom hate Yoko so much?
It's related to the abandonment of the mother and daughter by their father?
Pan Yi was curious, and the plot entered a turning point at this time.
My mother-in-law had borrowed three books to Yoko before, but those books were confiscated by my mother.
My mother thought that Yoko stole these books.
But my mother-in-law also gave Yoko the keys to the house and just stuck them in those books!
have no choice.
Yoko sneaked into her mother's room and wanted to get back the books, but her sister also sneaked in.
turn out to be.
The sister Xiaoyan wants to get a certain CD of her mother.
My mother didn't want to give it to me before, so Xiao Jie thought of taking it away secretly.
Yoko was afraid that her sister would find out, so she hurriedly hid under the bed and peeked through the dressing mirror.
My sister seemed very nervous and accidentally broke the vase. The water inside was sprinkled on my mother's laptop.
The little decorative immediately restored the vase to its original position, but it was too late.
The dressing mirror reflected a pale face, as if he was afraid of being discovered by his mother.
[Looking down at the wet computer, Xiaodian looked around the room in a hurry and helpless manner. Soon she smiled again on her face. She took a few steps and stopped in front of the three books she had placed.
That was the book my mother-in-law lent to me to read.
The little decorative hand grabbed those books.
Then Xiaode put the CD on the table back on the shelf, as if he didn't want to continue picking it up.
She only took the book she had lent me by her mother-in-law and walked out of the room.
I quickly understood why Xiao Jie left with the book she lent me by her mother-in-law.
When my mother came back, she saw the broken vase and the laptop soaked in water. She would definitely think who did it. If the books I took from me disappeared, my mother would definitely think that I went into the room to get them back.]
Yoko was so scared.
