Volume 2: Greed Chapter 138: Outsiders in a Small Mountain Village (Part II)
"Crunchβ"
There was another soft sound, and the door was gently closed with both hands, and the woman was already standing inside the house.
Looking around the room, it was clear that I hadn't been here for five years, but it was all so familiar, that night, as if it was yesterday, everything was still so clear and vivid.
"Whew. β
Taking a deep breath, the woman had tried to slow down as much as she could, but the old floor still made a slight noise as she walked.
As if in her own home, the woman walked through the living room, went straight to the only room in the low cabin, looked at the closed door, and this time she did not hesitate any longer, and directly raised her hand to push the door open.
With the door slowly opened, the woman did not see the room clearly, a foul smell came to her face, no one can accurately describe what it smelled like, but even the smell in the sewer, compared to it, it will make people feel less unbearable, but unexpectedly, such a bad smell did not make the woman retreat, she was still as usual, a foot stepped in, as she entered, everything in the room was instantly in her view.
There was no light on in the room, perhaps there was no waiting in the room, and the daylight poured in through the only cracked window in the house, which did not bring the comfortable light to the room, but made the whole room darker under this strong contrast, which was small, as small as a bed, a table, and a narrow hallway.
And now, there was no one at the table, no one on the bed, except for a man sitting in the aisle.
The man leaned back against the wall, his legs stretched straight, and in the gap between his legs and the bed, there were rows of wine bottles, some standing, some had fallen, and the floor was full of wine stains that had long since dried up, and next to his other hand, there was a bowl, the difference between this bowl and the ordinary bowl was that the ordinary bowl was for rice and soup, and this bowl was filled with cigarette butts that had been smoked.
It seems to feel that someone is coming in, the man sitting on the ground raises his head sluggishly, at this time he is unkempt, his eyes are red, decadent mixed with the smell of smoke, his face is full of stubble, and he is equipped with dirty clothes, I am afraid that he is not as good as the homeless man on the side of the road, but when he saw the appearance of the woman who came in, his cloudy eyes instantly returned to clarity, he suddenly turned his head, opened his mouth, and made a low and hoarse voice in his throat: "How did you get here? Who asked you to come? Go back!"
Listening to the man's words, the woman standing at the door at this time was already in tears, crying silently, her crystal eyes looked at the man stupidly, as if this down-and-out homeless man was a prince charming in her eyes.
"Don't you hear me?
Seeing that the woman did not move, the man frowned slightly, looked down in private, picked up a wine bottle next to him, and threw it at the woman.
Looking at the arc of the wine bottle in the air, the woman did not dodge, but just stood in a daze, as if she had lost her soul.
"Click!"
With a crisp sound, the wine bottle finally did not hit the woman's body, it grazed the woman's shoulder, slammed on the wall, and then when it hit the ground, the wine bottle had already shattered, and the wine that remained in it for an unknown amount of time also flowed to the ground, and after a while, it seeped into the concrete floor, leaving only a shallow wine stain.
Looking at the depressed woman, the man's eyes were gradually moistening, and he was on the spot, not to mention that he was standing there so big, even if it was a needle standing in the distance, he could throw it casually to break it, but how could he hurt her, after all, she was his only relative.
The sound of the wine bottle shattering seemed to pull back the woman's consciousness, her eyes returned to focus, she looked at the man sitting on the ground, raised her feet, and walked towards him like a puppet, completely ignoring her pear blossom and rainy face, and called softly: "Brother... β
βγγγ οΌβ
This murmuring sound like a newborn baby was like thunder in the ears of the man sitting on the ground, and his already red eyes could no longer hold back, and two bean-sized tears burst out of his eyes, dripping over his cheeks that had not been cleaned for a long time, dripping over his stubble that had not been taken care of for a long time, dripping on his chest and dripping on his heart.
"Pity ... Child... β
The man's voice was extreme, as if talking to himself, but he was still heard clearly by Lin Li'er who was standing in front of him, and seeing him call his name, Lin Li'er couldn't help it anymore, and threw herself into the man's dirty and smelly arms, and cried out in a lost voice: "Brother, I'm looking for you to find me miserable... β
The girl entered his arms, the cry seemed to tear the man's heart, he didn't speak, and he didn't know what to say, he could only purse his lips, and his arms hugged the girl in his arms, as if to integrate her into his body, his hands wanted to brush Lin Li'er's black hair, but he was afraid that his hands were full of filth to defile it, so he had to clench his fists, close his eyes, and silently comfort Lin Li'er, who was venting his emotions in his arms.
At this time, who can not know that this man with a sloppy face and a foul smell is actually Huangfu Xiaobo's good friend, Bai Ruxue's former boyfriend, Lin Feng.
Since he learned the news of Bai Ruxue's engagement that day, Lin Feng's heart has been like ashes, as if the people he cares about have left him one by one, he is like a disaster, Huangfu Xiaobo has been in a coma in a car accident and has not woken up yet, Bai Zhenting committed suicide by jumping off the building because of him, Bai Ruxue had to marry the Zhang family for the sake of the Bai family, it seems that because of his appearance, the two families that were originally happy and stable have become fragmented, so what qualifications does he have to stay in the imperial capital anymore? Does he still bring disasters to others?
Leaving, this decision seems simple, but for a person of flesh and blood, leaving everything about himself is like digging out his heart, Lin Feng doesn't want to see the sad look of the person close to him, he is afraid that he will not be able to strengthen his beliefs, therefore, on the day after he talked to Xue Xinyue, he said goodbye without saying goodbye, as if the world had evaporated, and suddenly disappeared, he only hoped that the person he cared about could live a better life without him, and he also believed that this was the case in his heart.
So, he finally after a few days of trekking, on foot to this small mountain village, this mountain village, this house, is the first place where he took Lin Li'er to escape from hell, they ran desperately, ran desperately, until the two of them lost their strength and fell headlong in the mountains and forests, when the two of them woke up again, they found themselves in this house, and saw a simple face, they thought that they had escaped from hell, but they thought that the instructor was too simple, just that night, the people who pursued and killed from hell had arrived, and Lin Feng decisively took Lin Li'er to hide, but watched the uncle's family who had saved him being brutally killed.
Perhaps, he had already become a disaster star at that time.
Waking up from his memory, Lin Feng couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly, and Lin Li'er, who was lying in his arms at the moment, was crying much quieter, only the sound of intermittent sobbing remained, but the strength of the pair of small hands holding her did not relax at all, as if she was afraid that once she let go, Lin Feng would disappear again.
"Okay, stop crying. β
Clenched his fists and gently hammered Lin Li'er's back, Lin Feng said softly.
"Hmmm... Well... β
Although Lin Li'er still hid her face in Lin Feng's arms, she still nodded, although her body was still trembling, she really didn't cry, after all, in this world, she only listened to Lin Feng's words.
"Alas. β
Feeling the changes in Lin Li'er, Lin Feng sighed, raised his head to look at the whitening glass that was illuminated by the sun opposite, and said in a low voice: "Li'er, you shouldn't come to me." β
"Why, why did you leave suddenly?"
Lin Li'er asked, because of the reason why she had just cried and buried her head in Lin Feng's arms, her originally crisp voice was now like an urn.
"I'm just... β
Hearing Lin Li'er's question, Lin Feng's eyes instantly lost focus, he looked at the gray-white wall blankly, and said softly, "I just don't want to bother you anymore." β
As soon as the words fell, Lin Li'er raised her head in an instant and looked directly at Lin Feng, at this time, her pretty face with pear blossoms and rain was only a palm-wide distance from Lin Feng's face, and the two could feel each other's breathing, but Lin Li'er obviously didn't notice this, at this moment she looked sad, looked at Lin Feng in a daze, and said with a crying voice: "But, brother, how can I live without you?"
Listening to Lin Li'er unabashedly say what was in his heart, Lin Feng's face was even more lonely, he also bowed his head slightly, looked at Li'er's black onyx-like eyes, and said: "Li'er, now that you have an identity and a name, you don't have to follow me all the time, you have your life, and being with me will only drag you down, your future, I... β
"Don't!"
Before Lin Feng finished speaking, she was directly interrupted by Lin Li'er, she shook her head, her delicate pretty face was full of determination, and she said: "If it weren't for you, brother, I would have died in hell a long time ago, my name, my identity, my life, these are my brother's, I don't want my own life, I just need to be with my brother, if I don't have my brother, I don't have the motivation to live, so I don't want to leave my brother!"
After Lin Li'er finished speaking, his eyes did not hide or avoid, he still looked at Lin Feng stubbornly, as if he was showing his heart, and Lin Feng was also speechless and silent for a long time after listening to Lin Li'er's words, and finally he looked away first, looked at a corner of the room, and said softly: "Li'er, you get up first, let's get up and talk." β
"Huh?"
With Lin Li'er's doubts, she came back to her senses at this time, and found that her whole body was completely lying on Lin Feng's body, and her face was less than a fist away from Lin Feng's face, and even the pores on his face could be clearly seen at this moment, which made Lin Li'er's heart tremble, and the strange emotions that had been suppressed for a long time in her heart gradually broke free, making her cheeks redden, but she still said firmly at the moment: "Brother, if you don't agree, I won't get up!"
"You... β
Lin Feng never thought that Lin Li'er would say such unreasonable things to himself, he couldn't help but turn his head, looking at her little pink face like blush, after being stunned for a moment, Lin Feng finally gave in, he nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you, you get up." β
"Really?"
Seeing that Lin Feng promised herself, Lin Li'er was still suspicious, and her big eyes blinked a few times, looking at Lin Feng.
"Of course, when did I lie to you?"
Looking at such a lovely Lin Li'er, the corners of Lin Feng's mouth finally showed a smile, he raised his hand, wanting to pinch Lin Li'er's lovely face, but Yu Guang saw the filth in his hand, and couldn't help but want to rest assured, but at this time, Lin Li'er suddenly stretched out her hand, and her white little hand instantly grabbed Lin Feng's big hand, and then put it on her smooth face like a traction.
The atmosphere in the room gradually became ambiguous at this moment.
Feeling the tender touch coming from the palm of his hand, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a little uneasy at this time, but he was still quite conscious, and he had always regarded Lin Li'er as his own sister in his heart, so just as he was thinking about how to break the atmosphere, suddenly, a man's scolding sound sounded outside the window.
"Little girl, uncle, I know you're hiding inside, hurry up and give me out to uncle!"
