Chapter 241: From Today, I Leave You
"Actually, you say it's too much of a coincidence, but it's not necessarily true. It was already very late at night, Xu Xi sat on the sofa with his hands on his head, thinking back to the scene at that time.
"Oh, why do you say that?" Huang Huang covered the blanket on his legs, and now that the story is told, he still has a lot of doubts about Xu Xi's psychology.
"I should say that since I was in junior high school, those stores have always been the way for me to commute to and from school every day. I was just... I never dreamed that the murderer of my brother would be right under my nose. ”
"So the driver is the owner of the shop?"
"Well, yes, indeed. ”
"That's... You happen to recognize him, you... What did you do? Call the police? Or go to your mom and dad?"
Xu Xi shook his head and smiled.
When you think about it, it was really crazy, but there are some things that people are born with.
At least, I am.
Perhaps, it was the driver who made me who I am now.
Xu Xi let out a sigh of relief and stared at Huang Huang solemnly, "What I'm going to say next... You probably won't like it, but I've decided to tell you anyway. I said it would change your mind about me, but you've treated me so well that I think I have a reason to tell you. ”
…
Xu Xi's voice was very soft, and he narrated unhurriedly. As time passed, Huang Huang's face gradually stiffened. At first, he could ask a few questions curiously, but after hearing them, he was completely silent.
This story is full of all kinds of incredible twists, and Huang Huang didn't expect it to end in this way.
“… Well, that's the way it is. Xu Xi said.
Huang Huang let out a long sigh of relief.
The air was very solemn, and Xu Xi peeked at Huang Huang. I saw his sparse face and brows tightened, as if he was thinking about something.
Xu Xi suddenly regretted a little, why did I say this? What was he thinking?
"You... How did you do it, how young you were at the time, you... Why did you come up with such a vicious idea... You... You're just... It's a..."
"Demon?" Xu Xi pondered and continued, "You must want to use the word demon. Yes, at that time, I was surprised.
When I was sure that the person was the driver who caused the accident, I didn't expect that I was neither panicked nor helpless, I really didn't expect that I could be so calm. I didn't just go to him, or tell my mom and dad, or go to the police or anything. Instead, wait patiently and wait for an opportunity. Some things are actually predestined. ”
Huang Huang finally understood, and the last question on Xu Xi's body could be regarded as solved.
"But... Even if you burn that driver to death, it's understandable, but... Why don't you even spare his wife and his five-year-old daughter? What does a five-year-old know? She doesn't deserve to die. ”
Xu Xi laughed silently twice, but there was endless desolation in his eyes.
"She doesn't deserve to die, doesn't my brother deserve to die?"
Huang Huang was speechless, and the room became dead silent.
"You know, that day I hid in the garage outside the house where he slept, listening to the driver quietly confess to his wife behind his daughter's back.
He said it was an accident, and he didn't want to do that himself, hmph, it's easy to say, why didn't I see him turn himself in, just to make his conscience feel better. He was tired of driving, and at that time he was almost asleep to drive, and it was only a sudden bump that woke him up. He saw his brother who had been knocked down and me who had survived in the rearview mirror, and he ran away without even stopping the car for fear. ”
Then, when his shop began to burn, he tried to escape through the iron gate. But I had already prepared, and the iron door had been locked by me beforehand. He originally wanted to find a way out first, and then go back to take care of his wife and children, but unfortunately, the objects in his store were all flammable things, butter and oxygen tanks. As long as the fire is burned, it cannot be extinguished by the strength of one or two people. ”
"The fire was very strong, and he was standing on the tuyere again, and soon the fire burned on his body. I just want him to experience that despair. He began to wail, and at this time, I came out of the darkness. When he saw me coming, he begged me to save him in a panic. ”
"I watched him struggle frantically, but there was no joy in my heart, because I knew that he would die a hundred times worse, and my brother would not come back. I suddenly felt that everything was in vain and meaningless. ”
"That's it, so what are you trying to do?" Huang Huang asked puzzled.
"But in the next moment, it was as if I had opened the door to a new world. No matter how desperately he cried for help, I remained indifferent. His back was already burning, and I thought at the time that he would die soon, and I was even a little bored at the thought.
But who knows, he called for help for a long time, and his eyes suddenly changed when he looked at me. I think he must have recognized me. But it's nothing, he won't survive anyway. I just looked at him, he grabbed the railing of the iron gate with both hands, and his body began to burn, and I will never forget it, and he just looked at me like that, with a look of relief, blind sluggishness, and a deep, indescribable, indescribable... The passing of light? or, more precisely, the passing of life. Anyway, he wailed a few times at the end, and the flesh of his body almost merged with the iron door.
However, at that time, I was deeply shocked by his dying eyes!
Later, the fire was so big that it couldn't be controlled at all, and there were several car repair shops like theirs. But fortunately, the people in the other stores finally reacted.
People are fighting fires in a panic, and I can take advantage of the chaos to leave calmly. After all, I'm a little kid and the most neglected presence in moments like this. ”
"You ......," Huang Huang sighed. "How old were you? How could you be so calm?
"It's probably an innate skill. Xu Xi said with a smile. "Of course, thanks to my brother. ”
"No..."Huang Huang shook his head and said, "I think the incident between the driver and your brother is just a fuse." I think even if your brother were still alive, you would probably end up like this because of something else. ”
"No... I... I do not know. Xu Xi said stiffly. He looked at Huang Huang in surprise, he, how can he know himself better than myself.
"And then?"
"That day, after almost a night of tossing, I came home in despair, and it was already past one o'clock in the middle of the night. I didn't expect my parents to be anxiously waiting for me to come back at home. I really didn't think about it, but when my dad saw me coming back, he gave me a slap in the face. You know, I've grown so big, my mom and dad have never touched a finger of me. My mother came up and took me in her arms.
That's when I realized how much they loved me and worried about me. They have already lost their brother, and they can't afford to lose me again.
From that day on, I became active at home because I could see that even after a few years, they still did not come out of the shadow of losing their brother.
Since my brother is gone, I hope that I can become him at home, so that at least I can relieve my parents' pain. Of course, I wasn't as good as my brother, but I still tried my best.
Later, my parents got busier and busier at work, and my grades got worse and worse, and I didn't have much to do with school, so they eventually couldn't stop me, so I dropped out of school and stayed at home. ”
"You, no wonder you have to talk on the phone with your family all day long. Huang Huang thinks it's wonderful, is the ruthless Xu Xi and the well-behaved baby at home two completely different people? No, who said that if you are ruthless, you can't be a good baby at home?
Xu Xi smiled shyly and continued: "The driver incident seems to have opened an unknown door! I have done many of the same things later! In fact, killing itself is meaningless, but my favorite moment is not the inner throbbing before the killing, not the satisfaction after killing the person, but the moment when his eyes disappeared at the moment when he was about to die, for that moment, I could..."
"Enough!" Huang Huang rudely interrupted Xu Xi. There was a slight annoyance in his eyes, and his intoxicated expression frightened him, this Xu Xi was really an out-and-out demon at such a young age.
The excitement in Xu Xi's eyes was not diminished by Huang Huang's interruption, he looked into the void, and there was such a scene in front of him.
Huang Huang got up and walked to the sofa, he squatted down and looked at Xu Xi.
"Xiaoxi... You... Do you think you're right to do something like that? That life is just being snuffed out by your own hands, they don't have families, children, parents? If you put yourself in the shoes of these innocent people, don't you think what you're doing is terrifying?"
Xu Xi smiled.
"There is probably no one in this world who is 'innocent'. Uncle, don't you often say that the world is the law of the jungle? Are all morality and laws hypocritical?"
"You, you..." Huang Huang looked at Xu Xi very worriedly, and after a while, he continued: "Xiaoxi, you wait a minute." ”
"What, do you want to call the police to arrest me?"
"Uh...," Huang Huang fainted, "What do you say, do you think of my uncle and me as such a sinister villain?"
He leaned down and continued to laugh, "I'd be stupid enough to call the police to get me... Little henchman?"
“…”
Xu Xi is embarrassed, if you don't bring such a straightforward one, you can't cry or laugh.
Huang Huang went to his bedroom, and when he came back, he was holding something that Xu Xi was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar.
Dagger.
"You..."Xu Xi stood up, "Sure enough, you saw it!"
"Why is this thing in my house? Xiaoxi, are you going to give me an explanation?"
Xu Xi walked up to Huang Huang and reached out to take the dagger back.
Huang Huang took the dagger away with a hippie smile.
"You can give it back, but you have to tell me first, what did you want to do when you went to my house that day?"
"Oops... It's from the past, don't mention it. Xu Xi said, lowering his head.
Huang Huang smiled and shook his head.
"Are you going to... Kill me!"
“…”
"If you don't make a sound, you'll be acquiescing!"
"Indeed, you can guess that?"
"The strange little girl came to my house and said that she was lost, and that the ghost believed such a stupid lie all these years. Huang Huang asked.
“…… What? Are you bullying your followers?"
"What is the reason for killing me, can you say?"
"That's another story. If you want to hear it, I'll tell you... Then... I wanted to kill you because of 'jealousy'. ”
"Jealousy?"
"Hmm..."
…
In the warm bedroom, Xu Xi talked to Huang Huang about himself and Lin Yu again. In fact, he didn't realize that he had changed a lot, a lot, because of the uncle in front of him.
…
And Xu Lei, who was in the corner, shook his hair, revealing a pair of bright eyes, he looked at his younger brother and smiled, hearty and sunny.
Perhaps, you will never need me again. Whatever it becomes, it's your own path. Just watch you live and grow up slowly, brother... I was pleased.
A warm wind blew across her cheeks for no reason, and Xu Xi's eyes were unnaturally moist.
