Chapter 138: Life Is Just a Transaction
I thought about it, and I felt only sorrow come from it, so I curled myself up and sat in the corner and sobbed softly. Many things passed through my mind, but it made me more sober. Although I thought that Wei February would return to me safely and soundly, I finally understood that all this was just a fool's dream, and that cold corpse was my best friend. I've been involved in a series of major events in a chaotic way, but I don't have any autonomy and I haven't really made any contributions. Thinking about it, he tilted his head and fell asleep......
When I woke up, I found myself lying on the bed with my clothes covered. The curtains were so thick and impermeable that I didn't know what time it was. There was a knock on the door, and I instantly straightened up: "Please come in." ”
Unexpectedly, the person who pushed the door in turned out to be the person I was most unwilling to face - Cao Wuxian. He called to me with a fierce look on his face: "When you wake up, get up quickly and go downstairs." ”
I was stunned for a few seconds: "Hmm, you're finally willing to take me to see February?" I said and grabbed his arm excitedly: "Great, I knew you weren't so cold-blooded." ”
Cao Wuxian was also really stunned by my actions: "Uh. You don't have to judge so early, you can go downstairs and see for yourself. ”
His ambiguous words seemed to me to be an ominous omen, and I ran down in my dressing gown, only to see the whole family gathered in the living room with solemn expressions, my mother crying lowly, and the second brother, who had disappeared for several days, also appeared, but his face was not as relaxed as before, and the clouds were gloomy and misty. The thin cheeks showed an unusually white color, and it was obvious that he had suffered a lot.
He looked back and saw me, but he didn't come up and hug me. Instead, he said with tears in his eyes and a hoarse voice: "Ranran, I'm back, but ...... Why did she leave in February?! "He was a man of great eloquence, but because he cared, he was confused, and what he said at this time was not in words. I knew he was sad, but there were so many words on his lips, but I didn't know how to speak.
Thinking about the bits and pieces before February and me, and the scene when we last met, I couldn't accept the reality that she was gone. I saw the small jar in the hands of the second brother, and the whole person couldn't support it for several steps. The second brother looked at me with a wry smile: "It's hard to accept, right?" I was a fine person when I left, but now I am such a small columbarium. You can no longer see this person, you can no longer hear her voice, your life has lost its direction, and you don't know what the future is all about. ”
I stared into his eyes and tried to say something of comfort, but in the end I found that I couldn't say anything. It is true that I know that the second brother should not be so depressed at such a critical moment, but in fact, my state will only be worse than that of the second brother. I found that I had lost even the ability to cry, and the mental strength that supported me completely collapsed in an instant.
When I think of my acquaintance with Wei February, the confusion and confusion we experienced, and the separation that has no ending in the end, I hope that all this is just my nightmare. I subconsciously pinched my thigh, and the pain told me it was all true.
The second brother saw that I was already crumbling, so he came over and hugged me: "Ranran, I know that you are sad, and I am more desperate than you. But now the family is still waiting for us to find a way, and we can't sit still, let alone give up. February's death is not an end, but a beginning. From now on, I will find those who have harmed her and make them pay the most for February's death
I looked him in the eye and felt nothing but clusters of flames burning inside. I clenched my fists and compounded him: "You're right, you must not give up, and you must make those wicked people pay." Whatever you have to do, I will help you in all my power. ”
The second brother smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Of course, what you think is still too simple. February's death was a wake-up call that no one could escape the shadow of war, and that it was possible for anyone, not even unrelated and unarmed civilians, let alone soldiers, to die at any time. ”
I snorted, "Second brother, haven't you been fighting with them?" ”
The second brother interrupted me: "Not enough, not enough at all." We thought we could resist the approaching footsteps of the Japanese, but in fact we were just scratching the itch in our boots. From now on, we will no longer be soft on the Japanese, nor will we hope that the British and American powers will mediate and stand out for us. I don't expect the Japanese to take into account the international image and play tricks with us. Long before they were ready to start this war, they were already outright bandits, and no one would talk to you about moral fairness, let alone care if there would be civilian casualties......" The more he spoke, the more indignant he became, his fists clenched tightly and violently. And we have our hearts, and we have not tried to stop him.
However, Cao Wuxian couldn't help it, and said: "Young Master Zhu, this is not a school, you don't need to be impassioned, what you need now is to calm down and discuss strategies." I promised you and Miss Zhu that you and Miss Zhu did not give you a full score, and it can be regarded as nothing wrong. None of the things you and Miss Zhu promised me have yet to be fulfilled. Otherwise, if you have time, we might as well talk openly and honestly. ”
I always guard against Cao Wuxian not being authentic, but I didn't think that he was a real villain, and he didn't even disdain hypocrites to do it, and he pointed to the key point frankly. Before I could react, the second brother had already responded crisply: "Okay, I will never regret what I promised you." ”
I followed them towards the study, there was silence in front, and there was a solemnity in the back, I couldn't guess what Cao Wuxian wanted, I was always worried that he would make some excessive demands, and in the end I and my second brother would be anxious.
When my second brother and I walked into the study, Cao Wuxian had already sat down on the couch as fast as he could. "You two may be seated." Cao Wuxian closed the door and seemed to politely invite us to sit down. However, in fact, it is full of a master's posture, and the condescending attitude makes Ranren really uncomfortable: "I don't like to pretend, and you know in your hearts that I chose to help you because I fancy your use value." Now that your family is not in danger for the time being, you should also fulfill your promise of self-sufficiency, so that I can get the reward I deserve. ”
The second brother's face was solemn, and his tight jawline and resolute eyebrows always felt strange and familiar. This is not the second brother I know, but more like the eldest brother who has always been steady and silent. And I don't know when it started, the second brother's appearance seems to have changed over the years, the roundness has been replaced by the profundity, and the cynical taste on his body has faded, and he can often be seen thoughtfully inadvertently.
