Chapter 5 Birds
Yu Han's parents raised their heads, "Your name is Xiao Xu?" I've heard Han'er mention you and say that you've always taken good care of him in life......"
Xiao Xu's tears rolled down, "I didn't take care of him, if I had gone to find him earlier that day, I wouldn't have ......"
Not far away, Liu Zheng was looking at Xiao Xu with an umbrella, his eyes full of scrutiny. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
It was late at night when he came out of the study room, Xiao Xu and Yan Hong walked side by side on the way back to the dormitory, although Yan Hong had already secured a study, but she saw that Xiao Xu was not in a very good mood recently, so she always accompanied him to review, Xiao Xu was grateful to her, but after he persuaded her several times to no avail, it was not good to refuse the kindness of others all the time.
"So they didn't take the money you gave me in the end?" Yan Hong asked.
"Yu Han has a younger brother and sister below, and his grandfather also has cancer and urgently needs a sum of money for surgery, his parents usually don't care enough about Han, and that's also because life is compelling, but in essence, I don't think they are the kind of people who use their son's death to make money, and that one million, you know what's going on? It was the reporter who asked them to mention this number, that is a person who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and Yu Han's parents don't understand, so they made this price to the school. β
"I see," Yan Hong made a look of sudden realization, "It seems that I misunderstood them." β
A cool breeze blew in his face, and the leaves of the trees above his head fell, smashing on the ground with an inaudible "popping" sound, Xiao Xu suddenly stood still, he stared ahead in a daze, and his eyes didn't move.
Yan Hong didn't notice his abnormality, and continued to say to herself: "I also thought it was strange, how could parents in this world not love their children, how could they bear to let Yu Han lie in that cold and dark place all the time." β
"Parents love their children," Xiao Xu continued her words, "I have deceived myself with this sentence for many years. His voice was no different from usual, but Yan Hong was stunned, there was something in this voice that he had heard for the first time, what was it?
"There are children in this world who are born because they are useful, not because of love." Xiao Xu walked forward as he spoke, his boots clicking on the dead leaves.
Yan Hong looked at his back, she knew what was in his voice, it was coldness without a trace of warmth, this kind of coldness, she had not encountered it, but it appeared on Xiao Xu's body, it was too abnormal.
"Xiao Xu." Yan Hong stopped him.
"What's the matter?" The light from his eyes in the night made Yan Hong's heart palpitate.
"Why do you feel this way?"
"I just think you're too naΓ―ve to refute it." He looked in front of him, "Your dormitory has arrived, go back quickly." β
Liu Zheng stood on the balcony, teasing the parrot on the pole, but the bird glanced at him impatiently and turned his back to ignore him. Yang Zhi walked to the balcony in his nightgown and hugged him from behind, "What's wrong?" I've been in a daze since just now, still thinking about that kid? β
Liu Zheng held her hand, "Today I met the child's parents, seeing them, I thought of my parents again, they have been facing the loess with their backs to the sky for a lifetime, and finally it is time to enjoy the blessings, but they went one after another." β
Yang Zhi patted the back of his hand gently, "Don't think about sad things, by the way, did you give them the money?" β
"I gave it, but they were extremely stubborn and said that they wouldn't accept anything, and in the end I could only say that I was the leader of the department, and this money was a donation from the department to Yu Han, so they reluctantly accepted it."
"You're not afraid of being known by the department?"
"I don't care about him so much, as a teacher, it's not enough to give my students a little condolence money, I'm just a scientific researcher, I don't care about anything else, they don't care about me." Liu Zheng shrugged indifferently.
"You're still such a child." Yang Zhi's voice was full of pampering.
"However, I found out that another student was also giving money to Yu Han's parents."
"Who?"
"The student who was injured in this accident, as I told you, said in front of the leader in the ward that he wanted to take my graduate exam."
"Oh, he, don't you still think he has a lot of thoughts, what's the matter, now you have changed your impression of him?"
"I can't say anything about change, but the graduate school entrance examination is based on real talent, and whether you can pass the exam depends on his personal creation." Liu Zheng looked at the flowing night outside the window and said lightly.
This night Liu Zheng slept very unsteadily, in a trance as if he had returned to his childhood, he sat in his yard and took advantage of the afterglow of the moonlight to read, suddenly, his second uncle hurriedly walked in from the door, shouted at his parents: "There is a person fished out of the dry well outside the village, it seems to be Xiaofeng, the person still has a breath, and now it has been sent to the hospital, you should go and take a look." His heart was instantly filled with fear, and the textbook in his hand rolled to the ground, and his body trembled.
"Ahh A scream came, Liu Zheng opened his eyes suddenly, the sky was already bright, and the morning light was shining on his face through the curtains. It took him a while to make out that the sound was coming from the balcony, so he hurriedly put on his shoes and ran there. The balcony door was opened, and Yang Zhi sat on the ground with his hands covering his eyes.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Liu Zheng held her in his arms and asked worriedly.
She buried her head in his chest, and her hand gently pointed at the sunrise.
Liu Zheng looked in her direction and saw that there were yellow and green blood-stained feathers everywhere, and his most beloved parrot had been detached, its beak had been plucked out, and two black bean-like eyes were looking at him blankly.
Liu Zheng lowered his head suddenly, his heart seemed to be slammed flat by something, compressed into a small ball, so tight that he couldn't breathe. It was a look he'd seen somewhere, it was hollow with fear and despair, and with a hint of hatred...... He eased up, carried Yang Zhi back to the sofa in the house, and gently stroked her hair, "It's okay, it's okay, it's probably a wild cat, and it's my fault, I didn't close the window last night......"
Yang Zhi hugged his neck and cried, "No, how could a wild cat not eat it," she looked at Liu Zheng, her face full of tears, "Could it be that there is a thief in the house?" Our house is on the second floor and should be easy to get into. β
"Don't think about it, why does the thief only kill one bird......" Speaking of this, he chuckled in his heart again, kill the bird, kill the bird, he silently recited these two words, and a certain memory resurfaced in his mind again.
"Liu Zheng, are you okay?" Looking at his pale face, it was Yang Zhi's turn to be anxious.
He smiled at her, "I'm fine." β
