"You're hurting me. ”

Mao Xiaotong frowned slightly, and pushed Wang Luo's hands away with some displeasure, the pain is not necessarily real, the discomfort is certain.

"Don't you think you're a little spooked right now?"

Wang Luo was slightly stunned when he heard this, and after being reminded, he slowly retreated to a more suitable position after feeling that his state was a little wrong.

"I'm sorry, I've just passed. ”

Unlike the previous oral dissatisfaction, this time Wang Luo is sincerely apologizing.

"To be honest, Cousin Zhang Qian and I are not so close. I only met once before I was alive, and if it weren't for the sweeter piece of candy White Rabbit toffee she gave me at that time, maybe I wouldn't even remember her name. ”

"I also have such relatives, and I don't see them very much. However, when such a relative dies, he will still call you over in courtesy, in fact, at such a funeral, there is no sadness in his heart. ”

A puzzled expression appeared on his face, and Mao Xiaotong said with some doubts, "At the beginning, I thought that Zhang Qian and you were just such distant relatives, but judging from the investigation of the case this day, you paid too much attention to her, far beyond the scope of a distant cousin." ”

Speaking of which, she pulled up a stool and didn't care whether it was dirty or not, and sat side by side with Wang Luo very casually.

"I cried for a long time, so for the sake of fairness, tell me your story now. ”

It's a very strange feeling, Wang Luo has never talked to any of his peers like this before, and the strange thing is that after what happened just now, it is difficult for him to be wary in front of Mao Xiaotong again.

"My story is actually very boring, I am the eldest in the family, even if you count the children of my three aunts, I am still the oldest. As a good child who studies well, has a good personality, and listens to his parents, he naturally lets what he should do in the process of getting along with his younger siblings, and lets him if he doesn't want to. Sometimes, I wonder if I had a sister at home. ”

As he spoke, Wang Luo felt very embarrassed, and continued with some self-deprecation.

"It's a cheesy idea, and I guess every kid who is the eldest in the family will have it. After losing too much because of his identity as an older brother and sister, he hopes that there will be someone to take his place, and then get the love he wants from that person. ”

The taste of memories is the most complicated, and my nose will always be slightly sour when I am sad.

"I don't know if you understand this taste, this feeling of depression is like a balloon that is constantly inflated, and I am obviously uncomfortable to burst, but no matter who I am, I will take the trouble to tell you that although he or she is at fault, you are an older brother, and you have to let your younger brothers and sisters. ”

When listening to these words, Mao Xiaotong has been silent, as the youngest member of the family, she is full of strangeness to Wang Luo's words, but looking at the helpless desolation of the other party, Mao Xiaotong feels that she will be better to her brothers and sisters after returning home.

"If the balloon is inflated all the time, it will explode, and this kind of emotional suppression will collapse to a certain extent. It was a coincidental time, when I had been holding a sleeping stuffed animal since I was a child, a gorilla that had been cut to pieces by my little cousin with scissors, and was once again fooled by my parents for the same reason, and I left the room occupied by my younger siblings, and I ran to a corner where no one was there and cried. ”

"Incomprehensible, helpless, heartache...... All kinds of unspeakable pain kept going up like the foam of beer, and at that time I longed for someone to comfort me, and I was afraid that someone would come and say to me, 'As an older brother, you have to be generous'. ”

"It was Zhang Qian who found you at that time?"

Regarding Mao Xiaotong's speculation, Wang Luo nodded lightly and shook his head again.

"It's not so much that they found me, but that they noticed me. At that time, the five children howled together, and the adults who had long been accustomed to putting me aside would have remembered that there was such a person as me at that time. Okay, only a stranger like Cousin Zhang Qian who just came here would notice me. ”

Speaking of this, a warm smile appeared at the corner of Wang Luo's mouth.

"Fortunately, it was my cousin Zhang Qian who noticed me at that time, and it was the first time that someone told me that I didn't have to listen to what my parents said, and that I had to fight for what I thought was right. There is also the need to beat younger brothers and sisters as soon as possible, since I am the elder brother and want to let my younger brothers and sisters, then naturally I also have the right to discipline my younger brothers and sisters. ”

Poof......

"I'm sorry, I really can't help it, I have to beat my younger brothers and sisters as soon as possible, so it seems that you, a distant cousin, are really an interesting person. ”

recalled the happy things, and Wang Luo's mood became much better.

"Well, it's really interesting. At that time, I was holding the toffee she gave me and looking at her smile, and it felt like I had met an angel who broke free from the cycle of being a brother. ”

"So, the method your cousin told you really works?" Mao Xiaotong said effectively and quipped.

Wang Luo smiled and nodded: "Don't say it, since that incident, I have really been dealing with my parents, my parents and those younger siblings in the way she said." Younger siblings should be beaten and scolded if they make mistakes, as long as they grasp the degree, adults will not say anything. ”

"But, ah......"

As soon as the words turned, Wang Luofang's head was slightly raised, and he involuntarily lowered his head.

"What I couldn't have imagined was that when I wanted to see Cousin Zhang Qian again, I was already separated by yin and yang. ”

Looking at Wang Luo, who was so lost, Mao Xiaotong didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to clasp his right hand tightly with his left hand, which was strange enough to convey a little warmth in the past.

"Maybe I was too young to understand what death was. I stubbornly thought that the person lying in the iced box couldn't be my cousin Zhang Qian, she might have gone to school, she might have traveled, she just couldn't do without. ”

"This should be the reason why I have been searching for the cause of her death for so many years, when my cousin's words and a piece of candy completely changed the trajectory of my life's growth, or she has long forgotten this little thing, but I can't forget it. ”

"Wang Luo, in fact, I feel that your cousin is not only your luck to meet you, but also her luck. Mao Xiaotong grabbed Wang Luo's other hand as well, "Just like this, you feel my temperature, and I also feel your warmth." ”

"Your cousin took you out of the cycle of 'brother', and you are now busy with your cousin's grievances. ”

"But where is the truth?"

The topic returned to Zhang Qian's suicide case again, and Wang Luo showed a sense of exhaustion.

"The more I learned about this matter, the more I felt that my cousin's death was not simple, and that behind the whole incident it was like there was a huge black hand driving the whole thing in a way that we could not understand. Although all objective factors point to him, we just have no evidence. ”

"Your cousin's suicide was not something that could have been inferred from common sense, and you made a mistake of principle in this matter. ”

As he spoke, Mao Xiaotong snapped his fingers, and the flame of his soul ignited again.

"It's like the flame in my hand, although ordinary people can't see it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, if a person with the same ability as me commits a crime, he will definitely end up in nothing if he tries to find the truth with an ordinary worldview. ”

Wang Luo is a smart person, and he quickly caught Mao Xiaotong's words.

"Are you saying that my current thinking perspective is too limited, and I should think more about the whole thing from the direction of the inner world you described? In other words, my cousin's suicide may have been intervened by a supernatural person?"

"That's right. Mao Xiaotong sighed helplessly, "Although I don't expect other abilities to meddle in this matter, but your cousin's current situation is only possible." ”

Wang Luo couldn't help frowning when he heard this, "Oh? ”

"Your cousin has only been dead for ten years, even if there is a monstrous resentment and the means she uses now are at most the strength of the early stage of the E-rank, but now she is unfathomable in my opinion. ”
