04: Hazy
I don't remember how I left the scene, but when I came back to my senses, I already found myself sitting in the back seat of a taxi with A-kun. And the wind outside the window cracked in my face.
It's still fine until now... It's still fine until just now!
Why is this happening... That guy... That old Zhang... Breathless?!
The hands on his knees were shaking uncontrollably, and even his teeth were chattering. Even though I knew I needed to calm down as soon as possible, this panic drove me to act.
[Ah Tian, are you okay? Ah Jun, who was sitting next to me, seemed to be worried, and gently put his hand on my hand to comfort me.
[I... I... I... I didn't do that, did I? 】
[Hmm... Actually, I don't know what happened, or at that time, Ah Tian, you suddenly screamed very loudly, and then the whole person went crazy......]
Mad?
That is to say, I went crazy when I was fighting with Lao Zhang just now, so I made a mistake to kill him... Take him ...... Killed?
[I... I... And then what? Even though I had vaguely guessed something, I asked with hope.
[And then...... Ah Tian, you just...]
[What's the matter?] You... You say! 】
[Just... Suddenly, he blocked the iron pipe with one hand and cut it in half ......] When he said this, Ah Jun obviously lowered his voice, probably because he didn't want the driver sitting in front of him to hear something.
But there is something more surprising to me than I have just mentioned.
I? Broke the iron pipe with one hand?
No way... How can there be such a! I've never seen anyone break an iron pipe directly! Even if you want to comfort me, you don't lie to me like this, right?!
Can... Ah Jun is my best friend, is there any reason for her to lie to me?
I swallowed, still wheezing heavily. And just when I inadvertently lowered my head, I saw a trace of blood on my clothes!
【…… What is it. 】
I groaned and tried to wipe the blood away with my hands, but I couldn't.
[Hmm... Ah Tian... You calm down and listen to me, oh, actually, after you...] Ah Jun seems to want to continue the story, but...
[We'll talk about that later, shall we?] 】
But I stopped him with words.
Actually, it's not that I don't want to know. But at this point, I already noticed that the driver in front of me felt something was wrong and was desperately peeking at us in the rearview mirror.
I could have killed someone... Of course, the less people know about it, the better, or no one knows it at all! Saying this kind of thing while hitchhiking is undoubtedly self-destructive. Even if the driver is the kind of person who would rather not hear anything and not get into trouble, there is no guarantee that he will not be asked by the police in the future and expose all the things that have taken us.
I don't know why, it's obviously in a panicked attitude of committing a crime, and to use a metaphor, it's the kind of impact of shame when you cheat and are caught raped by your wife, right? But sometimes it's a way to calm down quickly and think about countermeasures with your brain racing, and I don't know if other people will do that. But at least that's where I'm now.
Seeing that I was trembling was no longer so bad, but alone in a daze. Ah Jun may have mistakenly thought that I wanted to be alone and quiet, but it doesn't matter, and I don't bother to explain so much.
But there's at least one thing to figure out...
That's where the car is going now.
I looked up at the scenery outside the window and saw that it was all streets near my house. So he asked Ah Jun: [We... Where is this going? Actually, this is obviously a stupid question, it's almost at my house, isn't the answer already coming out?
[Go to your house... I thought to myself, Ah Tian, you must be very scared, right? So until you calm down, I'll be there for you! I'm here, I'm here. Jun patted his chest as he spoke.
I smiled back at her and said, "That's really reliable. 】
…………
When I was about to arrive, I said hello to the driver and said that I would just get off nearby. Although the driver looked at us with a little suspicion, it was just a meeting in Pingshui, carrying so many passengers every day, it is estimated that he will soon forget us. So we quickly gave the money, watched the taxi go away, and then we walked home.
My home is in a relatively large villa community, called Tianduhui. Since there are all detached villas inside, the area should be relatively large. Of course, there are not only residences inside, but also facilities such as regular clubhouses, tennis courts, golf courses, open-air swimming pools, fountains and small lakes, which are quite eye-catching. As for the time from entering the gate of the community to our house, it takes about 15min to walk. Soon, we arrived at our doorstep.
By the time I got home, I had calmed down more than half of the time. I didn't shiver and pant like I did just now.
[By the way, Ah Tian, is Auntie at home? ] 】
[Probably there...... Don't you know when you go in? Saying that, I took out the key and opened the door, beckoning Ah Jun to come in: [Come in, although it is not the first time you have come. 】
By the way, Jun lives next door to me, so we often go to each other's houses to play or borrow something. After coming and going, my family naturally knew Ah Jun.
After entering the door, I didn't even take off my shoes, and a gentle middle-aged woman wearing an apron walked over to greet us at the door: [Oh, Ah Tian is back? Welcome, welcome, Jun is here too? Thank you for your hard work today! 】
Maybe many people think, how can I have such a good mother. She was so welcoming when she came back, but unfortunately, she wasn't my mother. It's not a maid or anything, it's just my aunt, my father's sister.
My aunt actually said that she wasn't pretty, but if she really wanted to talk about it, she should be the kind of woman who was better at dressing up, right? He has waist-length hair and a little small eyes under oblique bangs. The dress she was wearing knew at first glance that it was not a bargain, and by the way, the large soup spoon she was holding in her hand did not match the faint smell of perfume on her body!
As for my mom... I died with my dad 2 years ago.
In other words, I have been able to survive on my own until now, and many of them are thanks to my aunt. I really can't imagine what kind of life I would be living now without my aunt to take care of me, having lost my parents and few families.
I'd love to explain in detail why my aunt moved in, but I'll postpone it a little bit. Here's a hello first:
[Well, we're back, and my aunt has worked hard. 】
[I'm sorry, Auntie, I'm bothering again! Compared with my listless reply, Ah Jun is much more energetic when he greets his aunt!
[It's okay, what are you bothering about, Ajun, you are still so polite, are you eating here tonight? ] My aunt had a smile on her face.
[Yes!] I'm sorry to trouble my aunt to add an extra pair of chopsticks again...]
[What's so embarrassing, we've long been a part of your family!] You can go to the room to play first, and I'll leave the food to Auntie! Some of them will call you after they have eaten. 】
I smiled faintly, politely responding to polite words, but I still diverted the topic and asked: [Auntie, is Ah Hai back?] 】
[Ah Hai hasn't come back yet. Play first, but don't forget to do your homework! 】
【Okay.】 After that, I turned around and went upstairs. The house is a duplex villa, so my room is on the second floor and my aunt lives in the master room on the third floor.
[Hey, Ah Tian! 】
As I was about to reach the stairs, suddenly, my aunt screamed behind me.
What's wrong? I'm so tired physically and mentally... I don't have much strength to answer you, so what else do you want to say?
But I didn't expect that my aunt would say something I didn't expect.
Why...... Your clothes are stained with blood? 】
