Chapter 114: The Heart Dies

It was just noon, and Apollo, who had no clouds to hide, was wantonly blooming with scorching light and heat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoIn the deserted remote alley, only the dying autumn cicada is still screaming the last song of life.

With the roar of the engine, the snow on the dilapidated locomotive flashed out from the corner not far away. She decisively let go of the accelerator, let the locomotive slide a few meters with inertia, and then stopped the car with her feet neatly. After leaning the four-handed BMW, which had no staircase, against the wall, she walked to a certain gate with a familiar way.

It was still the wooden door with a crack in the middle, but there were many strokes on it, from crooked to neat nicks, but now they disappeared without a trace. She stared at it in a daze, stretched out her index finger to follow the traces in her memory, sketching little by little, and she was so stupid for a while.

"Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck! I'm going to be late......" The door was slammed open from the inside, and a boy with a bun in his mouth came out like a locomotive, rushing into her arms without a head, and after colliding with the other party, the two of them fell back and sat on the ground at the same time, "Alas, I'll go!" Who are you? Is the pestle at my door trying to steal something from you? ā€

Bai Xue ignored the boy who grinned and wailed at the bloodshot palm, and just sat on the ground with his head up, his eyes through the open wooden door, and looked at the scene in the courtyard with a wistful expression. It was still the same small yard, not fertile loess, where several seasonal vegetables were grown, a waist-thick deciduous tree (catalpa), pruned only a little above the eaves, everything seemed to be the same as it was then, but the only thing missing was the swing that was tied to the horizontal branches, which did not look sturdy.

"Do you think you kid can just stop talking?" The boy rushed over and grabbed her by the collar, and was about to pick her up when he saw her fair and delicate face. The boy's swarthy face couldn't help but turn red, and the whole person became uncomfortable, he hurriedly loosened her neckline, turned his head and said in a rough voice, "You, you will be careful for me in the future!" ā€

Bai Xue took a deep breath, obviously felt her body, and began to tremble slightly, "Zi...... Is Bai Zi here? ā€

"So you're looking for someone?" The boy glanced at the bun that fell on the ground, and slapped his dusty clothes with his hand, "Then you are in the wrong place, my family's surname is Zhao, and there is no family surnamed Bai in this neighborhood." ā€

"It turns out that there is really no Zi ......" Bai Xue's expression was thoughtful, although her brows were still furrowed, but she seemed to have guessed the ending a long time ago, in addition to the numbness and weakness that could not be dissolved, there was actually a trace of relief after confirming the answer.

"Am I going to lie to you? Neuropathy! The boy thought she was doubting herself, but he blushed with annoyance, turned around and slammed the wooden door shut, and ran away with a gloomy face.

"Without Azusa, there is no Azusa in this world...... Yes? So there are no novels about her on the Internet, and there are no ashes in Xiaoji's old house, here...... There's no her here either...... The existence ......" Bai Xue slowly lay on her back on the ground, staring blankly at the sky, and whispered over and over again, "Na, Ruojing Qianli, are you actually the azusa of this world?" Are you her? Yes, right? It must be, right? Why don't you answer me? Answer me......"

"MD, I actually only paid back this few dollars, it's not enough for Lao Tzu to go to the sauna!" With the sound of a broken gong, a short "boy" wearing a colorful floral shirt and a pair of large four-sided pants walked over step by step. "He" was thin and dry, his skin was not only dark, but also very rough, and there was no place to cover it with clothes, revealing a very obvious scar, the most conspicuous one, which was cut from the left temple to the mouth, and the part of the scar near the left eye was almost crossed against the corner of the eye.

"He" counted the stack of scattered money in his hand, and spat at the mouth without education. "Phew, wasn't it quite easy to borrow money in the first place? How can you not even pay back the interest now? What a piece of rubbish! ā€

"Huh? This is ......" The boy's eyes lit up, and he ran towards the locomotive that didn't even pull out the key. After picking up the locomotive from the wall, "he" stepped on the accelerator several times in a row, but failed to start the locomotive, so angry that he let go and threw the locomotive on the ground. "What!"

Unleashing the anger in his heart, "he" withdrew his eyes from the motorcycle and stared at the white snow lying on the ground. The corners of his mouth curled into an evil smile, and he leaned over in three or two steps, bending down and reaching out to touch her pocket, "Go!" Why do you break camouflage and get so many pockets? How can I find this for Lao Tzu? ā€

The sharp light in Bai Xue's eyes suddenly condensed, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he accurately grabbed "his" wrist, reversing the compromise and negativity just now, and the whole person trembled with anger, "Why are you alive?" ā€

"You're the one who wants to die!" The "boy" shook his grasped hand, his wrist was flexibly detached, and he looked her up and down vigilantly, with a sarcastic tone, "Anyway, you don't want to live anymore, it's better to give me the money in your pocket, and it can be regarded as your great virtue before you die!" ā€

"I'd rather throw money down the drain than spend it on you!" Bai Xue's facial expression was extremely distorted, and the malice in her eyes was as thick as a black curtain, "Shouldn't you be frozen, starved to death when you were a child, a scumbag who has no one to raise?" Why aren't you dead yet? ā€

"Hahahaha......" The "boy" suddenly laughed wildly, laughing so happily that he jumped on the spot several times. "He" pointed to Bai Xue, who was still lying on the ground, and the centipede-like scar on the left side of his face, which turned red with excitement, and jumped up and down violently, "What if you have someone to raise?" Look at your disgusting virtue now, haven't you become a scum like me! ā€

"I'm different from you, I have Zi, and you don't," Bai Xue stood up from the ground, looked at the "boy" with disdain, and easily spit out the vicious words, "It's pitiful! But I don't sympathize with you at all, because I hate you, I hate you, why don't you die? Without the existence of Azusa, you have no need to live at all! ā€

"You're looking for a beating, aren't you?" The "boy" clenched his right hand into a fist, but in the face of Bai Xue's face, he still didn't swing it in the end, "he" looked at her with disgust, "With such a face, you actually say such a thing, you are the one who makes people feel disgusting." I should say that the person who hates you is me, and the person I hate the most in my life is myself, and the second person I hate is you! ā€

"Humph! I'm not like you," Bai Xue snorted coldly, picked up the locomotive on the ground and stepped on, and somehow easily lit the fire, "I thought that no one would be more annoying than myself, but now it seems that you are even more disgusting than me!" ā€

"Grass! If you hadn't had such a face, Lao Tzu would have killed you! The "boy" scolded viciously, I don't know if it was because he listened to her words, or because the locomotive that was disobedient in the hands of "him" actually behaved like this in Bai Xue's hands, he became even more angry, "It's really unlucky!" I met a madman! ā€

Just as "he" was about to turn around and leave, Bai Xue suddenly stopped "him", "What if the person you cherish the most is forgotten by everyone?" ā€

"You're so sick!" The "boy" turned around and glared at her, his face full of contempt, "Of course, the things that Lao Tzu cherishes must be hidden, and the less people know about it, the better!" ā€

"Hide? Isn't it better to know as few people as possible? She kept repeating these two sentences, and then suddenly laughed, laughing so much that she fell to the ground holding her stomach, even if she was hit by the locomotive that fell with it, she didn't react at all, "Yes, of course you have to hide, wouldn't it be better if no one else knows, it all belongs to me alone, and no one can snatch it away now......"

"What a psychopath!" The "boy" spat beside her, patted his ass and walked away without hesitation.

After laughing for a long time, Bai Xue finally reined in her emotions, and she chuckled a little desolately, "Wakai Chisato, it seems that Azusa and I are going back to the island country with you, and I will completely return the control of the body to you, so it shouldn't be considered a breach of agreement, right?" From now on, in this world, there is no Bai Zi who raised me, and there is no Bai Xue who was raised by her, only you, Ruojing Qianli. ā€

In the alley across the street, the thin "boy" just now was pulling his collar irritably as he walked, "Ya, Qiu Tiger is still so powerful, don't let people live this day?" However, I only recovered the money today, and even the interest of the old goods this month is not enough, so Lao Tzu went back like this, but how can I explain it to Brother Hero? ā€

The top button, which couldn't stand the pull of "him", jumped and fell to the ground. Looking at the dust-stained buttons, "he" scolded viciously, pulled the collar to cover the black corset exposed on his chest, "I'll go!" It's really unlucky to stuff your teeth when you drink cold water, forget it, it's better to go home and change clothes first. You can't let Brother Hero see that Lao Tzu is a woman. Damn, I don't know if that crazy woman made lunch for Lao Tzu? Speaking of which, the psychopathic just now looked quite like a crazy woman, the two of them can't be relatives, right? Is mental illness hereditary? ā€

"Cher, are you in the house? Have you ever seen the knife used to chop meat? Azusa was wearing a cotton flower apron and raised her wet hands as she walked into the main room from the kitchen in the west wing, "You...... Yes! ā€

In the small living room separated by wood just after entering the main room, a man about forty years old leaned weakly on the table of the Eight Immortals, the back of his neck was cut more than ten centimeters long, and the bright red liquid rolled out like a spring, staining his white old man's shirt, and the wooden table with beer and peanuts under him.

A child, who seemed to be only eight or nine years old, could not distinguish between male and female, holding a blackened kitchen knife in his hand, was standing not far away, covered in blood. Time seemed to have stopped on him, and he just looked at the man calmly, his crimson eyes blinking.

Zi, who immediately covered her mouth at the moment of exclamation, rushed to "him" in a few steps, her hand groped for "him" worriedly, but her voice was kept very low, "Is there any injury?" Cher, you speak! ā€

"He" turned his gaze with the voice, the knife in his hand fell off and fell to the ground, and he opened his mouth a few times before he spoke, "Sister...... Sister...... He'll never touch you again......"

Azusa was stunned as if she had been struck by thunder, and her tears were like beads with broken threads, and they continued to overflow her eyes, "Yes...... I'm sorry, I ...... I'm sorry for you, I realized yesterday that it's time for you to get out of school, but you're still ...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... It's my fault, it's me who is so selfish, I actually resent you, resentful of you who are ignorant and unaware of being protected by me......"

"Sister doesn't cry......" "He" stretched out his blood-stained hand, clumsily wiped away the tears for Zi, trying to make herself laugh, but obviously not very successful, "I...... I ......"

"He" seemed to be trying to comfort something, but before he could finish speaking, he collapsed.

"Cher!" Zi stretched out her hand to catch "his" thin body, frowned and bit her lip, and soon looked at "him" with a determined gaze, and her trembling hand reached for the bloodstained buttons of "his" clothes, "I, I won't let you have anything to do, absolutely not!" ā€

Soon after, the small talk among the neighbors began to revolve around the family with the catalpa tree in the yard. They said that the family was really troubled, after the death of the woman surnamed Bai more than two years ago, there was only one daughter left, living with the stepfather surnamed Zhao, and now the stepfather was killed by the burglars, leaving only the teenage girl, with a wild child picked up, living in that yard......

"Sister," the thin little child, wrapped in a quilt, sat on the couch, opened his mouth to eat the spoonful of porridge that Zi fed, and asked curiously, "Uncle Zhao was really killed by thieves?" ā€

"Yes!" Zi took another spoonful of hot porridge, lowered her head and eyelids downward, thoughtfully blew the cold porridge, and asked calmly while feeding, "In the future, only the two of us will live together, will Xue'er be unhappy?" ā€

"Happy!" "He" nodded vigorously, opened his mouth and swallowed the hot and cold porridge, "I have long thought that he is not a good person, and he usually knows that you will work, not even some housework." Obviously, my aunt has passed away, and she still doesn't leave our house, and she clearly wants to rob our house, wouldn't it be better if she dies now! ā€

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zizi raised his head and glared at "him" fiercely, until "he" shrunk his neck and lowered his head, then continued, "Don't say anything bad about Uncle Zhao to anyone in the future, you know?" ā€

"He" pouted very high, revealing a look of unwillingness, but still under Zi's forced gaze, he obediently agreed, "Got it......"
