Chapter 5: Nemesis
Chapter 5 Nemesis
Whew!
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Xu, who was out of breath, also rushed back to the village, and when he passed by Xiu'er's house, he just subconsciously glanced inside, but he didn't want the courtyard door to open and actually ran into Miao's father.
Looking at Miao's father with a gloomy face, Chen Xu didn't care, but because he was in a good mood when he got the notice, he actually smiled lightly at Miao's father, and then rushed towards home briskly in Miao's father's inexplicable eyes.
"Grandpa, Grandpa"
Before entering the door, Chen Xu couldn't wait to shout loudly, but the expected response did not appear, Chen Xu couldn't help shouting: "Grandpa, are you not there?"
"It's strange, isn't it true that grandpa hasn't come back since he went out for a stroll, but Brother Liu can't come back anymore" muttered in his heart, Chen Xu, who was smiling, pushed open the door, and then he didn't move as if he had been immobilized, and the originally cherished notice in his hand slowly fell to the ground.
The room was messy, and on the ground, the familiar old figure was no longer standing, but lying on the ground, and the bright red blood was not spilling from his body.
"Grandpa" cried, and Chen Xu immediately rushed into the room.
"Grandpa, wake up" Chen Xu's tears flowed out at once, squatting beside his grandfather, Chen Xu cried and screamed, while touching his grandfather's body temperature and pulse.
The body temperature has begun to get colder, and the pulse beats weakly from time to time, as if it will stop at any time, Chen Xu hurriedly took out the silver needle, planning to use the eighteen needles to wake up his grandfather.
At this moment, a cold hand grabbed Chen Xu's left hand, and a voice as thin as a gnat sounded in his ears: "Xiao Xu, don't waste your time, eighteen needles and ghosts.... It didn't work for me, I... The situation... I know"
Wiping away the tears that blocked his eyes, Chen Xu saw that the old man's hands and feet moved slightly, and his eyes were as wide as a bell, but his eyes were sluggish and gloomy, and he suddenly understood that this was a return to light, and couldn't help crying: "Grandpa, you'll be fine, I will definitely find a way to melt you, what the hell is going on"
"Liu... Yi, yes... Liu Yi.... This one.... Brute"
The muscles on Old Man Chen's face twitched sharply, and there was a sound in his throat, and after a while, he calmed down, his sluggish eyes stared at Chen Xu, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Grandpa, no..... Alright."
"Grandpa..."Chen Xu's tears flowed, and he couldn't be clearer about Old Man Chen's situation.
Glancing at Chen Xu dotingly, Old Man Chen slowly spoke: "Xiao Xu... Don't be sad... Xiu'er... Xiu'er..."
Old Man Chen hadn't finished speaking, but his eyes had completely dimmed.
"No, grandpa, you don't want to die! It's all my fault, if I hadn't saved Liu Yi, nothing like this would have happened today!" Thinking of Liu Yi, Chen Xu's eyes glowed with hatred.
Seeing his grandfather die in front of him, Chen Xu was extremely anxious, and suddenly, the feeling of soaking in the medicinal bath for the last time that day appeared again, his vision and touch became clear all of a sudden, and a mysterious aura loomed in his body.
Chen Xu, who was panicked, didn't have time to think about it, and directly passed the mysterious aura in his body from the back of Old Man Chen.
"Cough!cough!cough!" Old Man Chen, who had already swallowed his last breath, suddenly coughed violently.
This scene made Chen Xu surprised: "Grandpa, grandpa"
"Xiao Xu,... Do you know... Grandpa succeeded! Finally succeeded!" Old Man Chen's old face suddenly flashed with a faint smile.
"Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Chen Xu said with some confusion.
"The mysterious aura in your body, grandpa is what he said, grandpa succeeded, really succeeded, that's why grandpa let you take a medicinal bath since you were a child"
"Grandpa, what is the mysterious aura in my body?" asked Chen Xu with some eagerness.
"Hehe, grandpa doesn't know, all this is what grandpa saw from the ancient medical book, grandpa handed you the eighteen needles of gods and ghosts, it is on that, the medical book is in grandpa's house, I was going to give it to you in a few days, but I didn't expect... Ahem...."
"Remember.... Healer..... Benevolence..... And also.... Xiu'er, "Old Man Chen couldn't hold on anymore after all, his eyes were completely darkened, a smile of comfort flashed across his face, he slowly closed his eyes, and died quietly, very peacefully.
"Grandpa, grandpa!"
Chen Xu didn't expect that he would have gotten the notice today, but going to college was a day worth celebrating, but in an instant, the original happy event turned into a funeral. Holding Old Man Chen's body, Chen Xu's tears flowed out like spring water.
"Chen Xu, Chen Xu, Chen ....." The door of the room was pushed open, and Miao's father's strong body appeared in the room, and he was looking for Xiu'er angrily, but when he saw Chen Xu holding the old man Chen who was lying in a pool of blood, he was also stunned: "What's going on?
Chen Xu glanced at Father Miao, then turned his head again to look at the old man Chen in his arms, and said with some sadness: "I didn't see Xiu'er, I just came back."
"No, didn't you go to my house this morning? Later, Xiu'er's girl, while I and her mother were not paying attention, sneaked out, she must have come to your house to look for you" Miao's father asked with some confusion.
"What? What did you say? Xiu'er came to my house to look for me?" Hearing Miao's father's words, Chen Xu suddenly put down Old Man Chen, and suddenly rushed to Miao's father, shouting loudly. But a bad thought flashed in my heart, and suddenly, I remembered that my grandfather had been chanting Xiu'er's name before he died.
"Yes.... Yes," Miao's father was also startled by Chen Xu's movements.
Chen Xu ignored Miao's father, turned around and came to his room directly, Miao's father also walked in, both of them were stimulated by the miserable scene in front of them, and they couldn't say a word for a long time.
In the pool of bright red blood, Xiu'er was lying with a hair disheveled, lying without a wisp, a pair of scissors pierced her neck, her beautiful face was full of vigor and sadness, but her eyes were wide open, and she looked dead.
"Ah, Liu Yi, I'm going to kill you"
Chen Xu squatted down tremblingly, wanting to reach out to touch Xiu'er's cold face, but was kicked away by Miao's father: "Get out, don't touch Xiu'er, you nemesis, you killed your parents, and now you are even more defeated by your grandfather, who raised you, and Xiu'er, the only good to you."
Chen Xu was kicked into the corner by Miao's father, watching Miao's father walk out with Xiu'er in his arms, all the words of Miao's father echoed in his mind, and those words were like an awl, stinging his sensitive heart one by one, and the whole person became distracted.
"Yes, I'm a nemesis, killing my parents, killing my grandfather, killing Xiu'er" Chen Xu sat on the ground weakly, trembling and muttering, his originally beautiful face was full of tears at the moment, looking so sad and helpless.
Three days later.
Chen Xu, who was dressed in filial piety clothes, dragged a heavy coffin with a board cart alone, and slowly walked towards the outside of the village, and the people in the village were also very concerned about Mr. Chen, the doctor in the village, and looked at it, but they didn't want to, and they didn't dare to come forward to help.
Because, the death of Old Man Chen and Xiu'er also awakened the villagers' memory of Chen Xu again, the broom star who killed his parents, and the villagers were afraid that they would suffer bad luck if they came into contact with Chen Xu.
Squeak squeak!
The cart moved slowly, and when passing by the door of Xiu'er's house, it suddenly stopped, and did not go in, but just stood outside the door, looking at the sad Miao father and Miao mother, and bowed deeply.
"Get out, you broom star, get out of here" Miao's mother saw Chen Xu outside the door, and rushed out at once, scolding while tearing Chen Xu's hair, and Junxiu's face was also scratched.
"Woo, you return my Xiu'er, you return my Xiu'er, it's all your nemesis, provoking Xiu'er again and again, otherwise how could Xiu'er fall to the point where it is today, you broom star, you return my Xiu'er" After tearing for a while, Miao's mother fell to the ground weakly, and kept shouting Xiu'er's name in her mouth.
"Auntie, I'm sorry" Chen Xu ignored the scars on his face, bowed deeply, and then pulled up the cart again and walked towards the outside of the village.
A person, a car, the back is so lonely, so pathetic, step by step, disappeared from everyone's sight, this scene also made the onlookers a little sad.
The coffin was put into the ground, Chen Xu looked at the tombstone in front of him, but he lost his mind for a while, and said self-deprecatingly: "Is this the final fate of people who are good to me?"
Taking a deep breath, Chen Xu took out the admission letter that had not been split from his pocket, suddenly took out a lighter, aimed it at the admission letter and lit it.
"Grandpa, and Xiu'er, you didn't see my admission letter until you died, hehe, I'll burn it for you, you can take a look, and also, what university, I won't read it" Looking at the burning notice, the original joy and excitement were long gone, replaced by an indifference and disgust.
Perhaps, if he hadn't picked up this notice, none of this would have happened.
"Grandpa, Xiu'er, I'm leaving, I'm going to talk to you here, I won't be here tomorrow" After knocking his head a few times, Chen Xu turned around and walked in the direction of home.
After not eating or drinking for three days, Chen Xu, who returned home, casually made something to eat, then walked into his grandfather's room, looking at the familiar room where there was no grandfather's kind figure, which made Chen Xu's nose sour, and a tear fell from his eyes.
Wiping the tears from his eyes, Chen Xu sat on the head of the bed, touched the quilt on the bed with his hand, trying to find a trace of the taste of grandpa, and then slept with his clothes and fell asleep deeply.
In the dream, Chen Xu dreamed that his grandfather had returned to his side, teaching him medical skills and pharmacological knowledge.
I don't know when I slept until I slept, Chen Xu woke up and saw that it was almost dusk outside, and after this sleep, it also made him feel a lot more energetic.
