Chapter 12: The Origin of "Maltose".
"I've killed a man." When he said this, Maltose's tone was very flat, and it was so flat that it was incredible, and such words could be said in such a calm tone.
Li Tianyu didn't speak, looking at the girl in front of him with a puzzled expression, he didn't understand what her words meant.
If you ask him if he believes it or not, he will definitely not believe it, how could such a thin and timid girl who looks like she could kill someone, and it was so long ago!
"Ten years ago, my family and Xiying were neighbors, and the family on the other side of my family had a little brother, and we both had a good relationship, and we often played together, and the days at that time were ...... Really carefree. ”
When she said this, the smile on Maltose's face made people feel very warm, and it seemed that her memories were really good.
"One day......" Maltose's tone began to change, and he became a little hesitant, as if he didn't really want to continue recalling.
"I was playing with that neighbor's little brother, and Shiozakura and her brother hadn't come over at that time, so the two of us were waiting for them. But...... Wait and wait......" When he said this, a trace of fear flashed in Maltose's eyes.
"I ...... I...... I suddenly felt that my eyes were dark, and my head was so dizzy...... I want to open my eyes but I can't...... Don't know why...... And then I was unconscious......"
Maltose's voice was choked up at this point, and it was clear from her trembling voice that she was terrified of the memory.
"You...... You okay...... If ......" Li Tingyu didn't go first, he didn't know why, but when he saw the fear in this girl's eyes and heard her choked voice, he felt worried.
But before he could finish speaking, Maltose shook his head, "It's okay...... I've always wanted someone to talk about it, and I've been holding it in my heart for a long time. ”
Li Tianyu didn't say anything more, since she wanted to say it, let's listen to her quietly.
"After that, I don't know how long it took, I woke up, but ...... When I opened my eyes......" said Maltose again, he stopped again.
At this time, the atmosphere was particularly solemn, and she always felt that she would see something terrible when she opened her eyes, and she wanted to know what she would say next.
"I ...... I only remember the time...... I can't see anything...... It was pitch black, and I couldn't even see my hands or my legs...... There is not a single light, nothing can be seen......" Maltose could hear from her words at this time, she was now almost on the verge of collapse, a girl had such a terrible memory at the age of six.
Li Tingyu sounded as if she could really feel the horror of this memory, she looked at the maltose almost crying, and suddenly had the urge to hug her and comfort her.
However, his body really moved with his thoughts, and he stretched out his arms and gently took her into his arms.
And Maltose didn't push him away, this sudden embrace, but made her suddenly feel relied on and relieved, and she even hugged Li Tianyu with this feeling, and buried her head on his shoulder.
Maltose didn't resist, but it made Li Tianyu realize that he really reached out to hug her, but now this feeling made him not want to let go at all.
"I ...... I was ...... at that time I kept crying, and then called my mother, but no one paid attention to me, I ...... I...... I don't know how much I cried...... How long...... Crying and crying and falling asleep. ”
The maltose that buried her head in Li Tingyu's shoulder shed tears as she spoke, seeing that this memory was very terrible for her, after all, she was only six years old at the time.
Feeling her body trembling slightly from crying, he gently patted her back, trying to comfort her.
After Maltose eased his emotions for a while, he continued to speak: "Later, when I woke up again, I was already in my room, and I was a lot more relieved to see my parents happy, but I suddenly thought of the little brother who was kidnapped with me, no matter how I asked my father, he always vaguely covered up the past. ”
"And then?" Li Tianyu followed her words and asked, in fact, he was a little anxious, and from the words of maltose, he clearly felt that there was something to happen later.
"Later, I asked them again and again for several days, but they didn't answer me directly. Shiosa saw that I was annoyed about this every day, had no appetite, and had been depressed, so she told me the truth. ”
"Why would she know?"
"She said it was an overheard conversation with Aunt Yue when my mother went to their house, and then she knew the truth of the matter."
"Little brother, he...... He...... He ......" as he spoke, and Maltose burst into tears, and in the midst of a fierce cry she uttered the latter words, "He's dead!!! ”
After saying these three words, she kept crying and crying, and her voice was particularly obvious in the silence of the night.
At this time, Li Tianyu kept patting her back and comforted her softly: "Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry." "Well, it's okay, it's over."
Although he didn't know what was going on in the middle, but Maltose's cry made him only feel pain in his heart, as long as she cried and her body trembled once, he felt very uncomfortable, and kept comforting her, trying to make her stop crying.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault! While...... At that time, my parents knew that it would hurt me to save me...... The kidnappers took advantage of their negligence and ...... Took the little brother away, and then ...... Later, probably a few days after rescuing me, they caught the kidnapper, but ...... But tie ...... Kidnappers...... I just won't say a little ...... Where's the little brother? Maltose was intermittent, and the slurred words with a cry sounded in Li Tianyu's ears, "Dang...... They...... Later, I found my little brother...... When he ...... He...... He's dead......"
At the mention of the word "death" again, Maltose's already better mood became crying again.
And all Li Tianyu could do was to keep comforting, and under his comfort, Maltose's mood was much better, so he spoke again.
"I heard that those kidnappers came for me, and the little brother was kidnapped together just because he was playing with me at the time, and I was the ...... of them."
After Maltose finished speaking, he kept crying there, as if he wanted to vent all the emotions that he had held in his heart for so many years.
Crying and crying, the voice was a little smaller, and slowly, the crying was replaced by the sound of breathing, and Li Tianyu also felt that the person in his arms was not moving.
It turned out that Maltose cried and cried and fell asleep......
Li Tianyu shook his head helplessly, and a doting smile appeared on his face that even he didn't notice. (To be continued.) )
