"Impossible, impossible......" Aunt You stepped back in a daze, with an unbelievable look in her eyes.
"This can't be true, if it's true, then ......" Aunt You leaned against the door frame and cried, "She is my best sister, but I want to kill her, how can it, God, how can this be, I obviously have nothing left......"
"Cai Yu, what are you talking to your aunt about this?" I grabbed Cai Yu, and my face was extremely bad.
"Everyone is responsible for what they do." Cai Yu surprisingly didn't follow my words this time, but was like an emotionless grass and tree, fair and strict, and the words were harsh, "The country has national laws, the family has family rules, and the law never sympathizes with anyone." ”
I pursed my lips and glared at Cai Yu, but I couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
"You all go out, I want to be alone." Aunt You suddenly looked at us, her pale and aging face was like the roots of a dying dead tree, unable to enter the soil, unable to turn into smoke, and could only struggle.
"Auntie," I didn't worry, and stepped forward to help her, "I'll compensate you, right?" ”
"No, you don't." Aunt You pushed my hand away and leaned against the door frame, "Girl, you go out with the cans I gave you, I really want to stay alone in the house...... Later, I will go to Liu's house with you. ”
My eyes dimmed, I nodded, and went out with the heavy jar.
"Cai Yu, do you think I'm the culprit in all this?" At sunset, in front of the mountain gate, I asked him in a low voice.
"Why do you say that?" Cai Yu looked at me.
"Self-cultivation and family, governing the country and leveling the world, this is what a prime minister should do." I leaned against the wall a little weakly, "If the village could be under the jurisdiction of a country, Aunt You would not have no way to avenge her grievances and end up dirty with her hands." ”
"You're a good prime minister, Qingzhi." Cai Yu looked at me very seriously, "But it's not enough to have a good prime minister in this world, just like the sun, it is radiant, and there is nothing to stand by, but on the land we are standing on, there is still a place where it can't shine." ”
"Darkness is always born with light."
Pursing my lips slightly, I lowered my eyes, but my face was faint, as if I had no feelings.
"It's going to get dark." I said.
"Yes." Cai Yu replied to me like this.
"Shall we go and light a lantern?"
"The sunset is not over, we can just see each other."
I fell silent, and Cai Yu didn't speak quietly.
The weather in early winter is not very cold, but the slightest chill is still soaked into the bone marrow little by little with the late evening breeze, and I can't grasp or touch it, but I feel that my body shiveres for a moment, and then the cold air of the whole early winter.
I can't tell you how it feels to Aunt You, she cares about me very much, she takes care of me everywhere, she gives me a warmth that I have never felt before, although I know that she actually just treats me as her late daughter-in-law.
But if I say I am moved or grateful, I am more at a loss, at a loss that I can't tell.
I have lived in this sixteen years, bittersweet and bitter, although I can't read all the vicissitudes of life, but it seems that I should see, I should experience, I have everything, but why am I at a loss in my heart now, my eyes are also at a loss, and I don't even know what to do next.
Will you hand over Aunt You to the Liu family? After all, Aunt Qian has promised me what I want.
I can't do it, I know it in my heart.
Did Aunt You hide from the world and cover up her murderous crimes? Anyway, she gave me the most precious warmth in the world.
Impossible, Cai Yu is right, the country has national laws, the family has family rules, if everyone can kill others with their own joy and anger morality, then this world is about to come to the end of destruction.
"Alas!" I sighed.
"A long sigh is not the behavior of a person who is in the prime of life." Cai Yu laughed at me.
"There are many worries, and when you sigh, you sigh." I glanced at him stupidly.
"I said, you ......"
Cai Yufang was about to say something, and a group of people suddenly crowded over on the path outside the gate, each of them holding a slender wooden stick in their hands, and their faces were full of hideous colors, menacing, and vicious.
The leader is a woman with a thorn hairpin, and there is a maid with a lantern next to the woman, the maid looks very kind, and the candlelight of the lantern in her hand is also swaying in the cold wind, faintly reflecting the sad and angry look on the woman's face, both sad and hateful.
"Drag out the old woman surnamed You, who killed the sky!" A loud shout tore through the silent village in an instant.
As soon as I frowned, I was about to pass with a calm face, but I was pulled by Cai Yu.
I turned my head to look at him, only to see him shaking his head at me with a blank expression.
"I'll go." E-book house
Cai Yu pulled me back and walked straight to the woman.
Because it was too dark, and they were a little far away from me, I couldn't see their expressions clearly, and I could only vaguely hear their voices, but this voice did not last long, only heard a "boom", and suddenly billowing smoke poured out of the lobby behind me, and the blazing fire lit up half of the village at once.
I stared at the raging fire in front of me in a daze, and suddenly my eyes became wet.
"Auntie!"
With a loud roar, I immediately rushed into the fire, but was blocked by Gu Yuancheng who came out of nowhere.
"Aunt You is still inside, get out of the way!" I hurriedly pushed him, but the back of my neck suddenly hurt, I tried my best to look back, only Cai Yu's indifferent eyes were clear and transparent under the cold winter.
Aunt You died, buried in the fire, and there were no bones left.
The mourning hall was set up by Gu Yuancheng, and almost all the people in the village came to mourn, and the mourning hall was white and empty.
The last one to come to worship Aunt You was Aunt Xu.
She looked in good spirits today, not sick, just full of sadness.
"I owe her all the time, for the rest of my life." Aunt Xu leaned over and looked up at the silent empty coffin in the mourning hall.
"In fact, when I was young, I and she both fell in love with Brother Song, and after knowing that Brother Song was going to marry her, I cried at home for a long time, and I was even more crazy and jealous of her, but she was my best sister, I couldn't hurt her, I didn't know what to do, I didn't know how to get along with them in the future, do you want me to look at them every day with a happy look?"
"For myself, and for her, I moved to live on the other side of the bridge, I originally planned to go outside, but my father's health is not good, I have to take care of them."
"Even so, I still can't let go of Brother Song in my heart, sometimes I can cry for him all night."
"Sometimes I just think, if there was no her in this world, Brother Song would marry me, but every time I think of this, I feel so guilty that I want to die, she is my best sister, how can I have this thought? She is good to me wholeheartedly, and I also want to be good to her with all my heart. ”
Speaking of this, Aunt Xu suddenly burst into tears, she wiped her face with one hand, and after finding that she couldn't wipe it out, she simply didn't wipe it, and let the tears condense into slightly wet tears in the cold air.
"Then I got madness, and I knew I had this madness...... She also lied to me, saying that I was just old and had a bad memory......"
"She must not know, I thought that her man would get this disease, if she knew, how would she forgive me?"
"She shouldn't have walked in front of me, she shouldn't have walked in front of me......"
Aunt Xu was suddenly stunned, muttered in her mouth, turned straight around and walked out of the door, and disappeared after a while.
I looked down at the pumpkin cake in my hand, and my heart rose and fell, slowly turning into a cloud of dust in the cold wind.
"You've been standing here for a long time, you haven't eaten breakfast or lunch, and you haven't even drunk a sip of water, should it be enough?" Cai Yu came to me angrily, stretched out his hand and stuffed a bun into my hand, I didn't speak with a cold face, my hand was clenched into a fist, and I just asked him to stuff the bun in.
"Shen Qingzhi, let me tell you, my patience is limited, don't force me!" Seeing that he couldn't stuff it no matter how much he stuffed it, Cai Yu directly threw the bun to the ground in anger.
I looked at the bun that was rolling on the ground, raised my foot and stepped on it hard.
Seeing this, Cai Yu was so angry that he flicked his sleeves and left.
"We're not colluding together, so you don't have to be angry with him." Gu Yuancheng walked in from outside the door, he took a few steps closer to me, and reached out to brush the hair scattered on my forehead.
"Really?" I sneered and slapped his hand away.
Gu Yuancheng was so unceremoniously brushed by me, but it was rare that he didn't get upset, he just looked at me fixedly, and the words he said were like chewed winter ice.
"We just did what we all thought we should do, but you wanted to do something against your heart, and we stopped you, just to give you a chance to do it again."
"You can't save her, from the time she killed the first person."
Gu Yuancheng's words are very reasonable, and I agree with them very much, I believe that as long as people who claim to be smart should understand the meaning of his words.
But there are so many fools in this world, why can't I be one of them?
With a smile on the corner of my mouth, I looked into his eyes, "Yuan Cheng, do you sometimes feel that you are very tired and tired, as if you are going to be out of breath?" ”
He didn't speak.
"Sometimes I think, I'm working so hard, I'm working so hard, but in the end it's not an empty dream? Since life is just a big dream, why should I always struggle to survive in this dream, full of pain and vicissitudes? ”
"It's better to ...... It's better to ......" I turned my head to look at the spirit flowers flying in front of the hall, my eyes sank, but the smile on the corner of my mouth became bigger and bigger.
"Yuan Cheng, you say, why are my dreams always in such a trance, as if they are about to be broken if I am not careful?"
