Chapter Twenty-Seven: Meeting
When the man surnamed Yu rushed over, the well was already empty, and he looked at the darkness, not knowing what to look at, and sighed for a long time: "Why are you suffering?"
The words were full of helplessness and sorrow, but I didn't know who to say it to.
The night wind blew, rolling up the corners of his clothes, and the broken well rope reverberated at the mouth of the well, like a lonely soul bound and unable to break free.
Bai Chen returned to the ruined temple, sat on the haystack, leaned his head against the window, looked at the night without a trace of starlight with some distraction, and unconsciously rubbed the gun in his hand, not even noticing that someone had come in.
"Little brother, let's have something to eat."
The guy surnamed Yu didn't know that he had never gotten two sweet potatoes, and they were still steaming.
Bai Chen woke up and quickly put the gun away, only then did he feel a little hungry, and he was not welcome, so he took it and ate it, the one surnamed Yu just looked at him and smiled gently.
"Have you found any progress today?"
What he asked was about the plague in this village, which seemed unintentional, but in fact he wanted to hear what Bai Chen thought about it now.
Bai Chen was stunned, frowned, stopped eating sweet potatoes, glanced outside again, and then turned around and said, "Mr. Yu, I will advise you one last time, get out of here quickly."
"Yu is not afraid of this plague."
"Then aren't you even afraid of slaughtering the village?" Bai Chen blurted out, there is really no time, the day after tomorrow at the earliest, there will be a group of people coming here, burning everything here, and completely strangling the source of this epidemic, "Are you really not afraid of death?" ”
The surnamed Yu seemed to be frightened, and gasped: "What Tucun?" Who do you listen to? ”
"If there is no cure for this plague, it will be a matter of time before the village is slaughtered in order to prevent the plague from spreading further." When he said this, there was no trace of emotion in Bai Chen's eyes, "When the time comes, even if it is a disease-free person, it will be treated as infected and disposed of together." ”
The reason why he wanted this surnamed Yu and left with the dog Dan'er in a hurry was precisely for this reason - because he still had a trace of compassion in his heart.
The dog who was hiding outside the temple, when he heard what Tu Cun said, he was immediately frightened, our Guanlin Village, was brutalized by the plague, it was miserable enough, those people outside actually had to fall into the well, Tu Village? !
No, grandpa is a good person, and he must not let the good people be killed by those bad people.
The dog Dan'er remembered Wang Li in his heart, and just wanted to run back, but his feet were not serious, and he stepped into the muddy pond, splashing dirty water, not to mention, and making a lot of noise.
"Who?!" Bai Chen turned over and jumped up, stopped a few steps out, but what he saw was a dogman with an embarrassed face, and he went over and lifted his back collar, "You kid, what are you doing sneakily about?" ”
Half an hour ago, he still looked bitter and hateful, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to move, and he would play with him again, Goudan'er really didn't understand, what kind of person is this Bai Chen? Is it the good guy or the bad guy?
"Who's sneaky?! You didn't build this temple, so you were allowed to come, but I can't come? The dog was carried by Bai Chen, barking at the top of his throat, waving his limbs in the air, "You bad guy! Let go of me! ”
The surnamed Yu heard the noise and ran out, but before he could say anything, he tripped over a black shadow and rolled down the steps.
Bai Chen let go of the dog and ran in the direction of the black shadow, and when he passed by the surnamed Yu, he paused, and when he saw that he was fine, he turned over, crossed the low bushes on the edge of the broken temple, and chased out.
The dog was stunned for a while, and when Bai Chen let go of him, he was caught off guard, and with an inertia, the whole person threw himself into the mud pond, and now he looks like a mud doll.
After scolding my father and mother a few times, I got up, only to see that the beautiful uncle surnamed Yu was lame on one leg and chased after Bai Chen and the black shadow disappeared.
"Little brother!"
Dog Dan'er sat on the ground, his eyes dripped, and he suddenly jumped up, still remembering what Bai Chen said about the slaughter of the village, he had to go back quickly and let his grandfather escape for his life.
Almost from the head of the village to the end of the village, Bai Chen suddenly stopped in the place that was once called "home". Ten years have passed, the ruins are still ruins, there is no change, only the weeds that are getting more and more over, and in front of the ruins, there is a dark shadow with his back to him, looking at the desolation fixedly.
That person was in front of him, but Bai Chen suddenly lost the courage to approach, just looked at it from afar, and called out for a long time: "Mother......?" ”
The figure of the black shadow was stunned, and slowly turned around, with a shallow smile on his face, at that moment, the ten years of parting seemed to have never existed at all, Bai Jinmei was still the quiet appearance of the year.
"Xiao Chen."
Bai Chen put his hands at his side, and walked towards Bai Jinmei step by step, just like ten years ago, Bai Jinmei was waiting for Bai Chen to come back at the door of the house.
Stretched out his arms and wrapped Bai Jinmei's cold body, the feeling of being lost and regained suddenly made Bai Chen's psychological defense line collapse suddenly, and the tears that I don't know whether it was longing or grievance raged on my face: "I'm sorry...... I'm sorry...... Mother......"
Bai Jinmei patted Bai Chen's back soothingly, and her face was also full of tears: "Silly boy...... I'm sorry for you......"
Bai Chen has always resented her father and her cowardice, if she wasn't so weak back then, how could her children be bullied?
After a long time, the emotions of the two calmed down, Bai Jinmei raised her hand to wipe Bai Chen's tears, and took a deep breath: "Let's go, don't come back." Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, so let me be trapped in Guanlin Village forever with them. ”
"Is it really you?" Even if I have already noticed it in my heart, when I actually hear it, I still can't accept it, "Why?" I don't believe ......"
This devastated Guanlin Village, this miasma shrouded on the top, and these lives that bear the pain of the epidemic...... Was it really his cowardly mother's doing?
"Because I hate!" Bai Jinmei suddenly pushed Bai Chen away, clenched her lower lip, and looked indignant, "I hate everything here!" I hate everyone here! I hate their indifference! I hate their bullying! ……”
"Mother?" At this time, Bai Chen felt that Bai Jinmei's expression was so cold.
"I didn't do anything wrong, but you want to punish me like this." Bai Jinmei suddenly sneered, her eyes full of bloodthirsty hatred, "You don't know, do you?" The target of those three thieves was not me, it was Wang Li's family! ”
Bai Chen's heart "chuckled", gasped, shook his head, and slowly retreated. The man in front of him...... It's not his mother anymore...... It's just the hatred left by Bai Jinmei......
"Don't believe me?" She suddenly laughed, "If you talk about money, who in Guanlin Village can compare to Wang Li's family?" I had nothing to do with the disaster of ten years ago, I was framed by someone and deliberately led those three thieves to the door to destroy my innocence! ”
