Chapter Seventy-Two: See You Next Year
Before leaving, the sloppy old man solemnly asked me a question, he said that my situation is more special, because I am an only son in our Chu family. If the three Qingshen can't be found, ask me if I should think about the Chu family's bloodline in advance.
I knew that the sloppy old man was not joking, and he didn't mean to break my confidence. He just treated me like an adult who knew how to make trade-offs and the big picture, analyzed all the possibilities that would arise in the future for me, and then asked me to make the decision myself.
I didn't know how to answer him, because in my mind, I had never considered it, and now that the sloppy old man suddenly brought it up, I realized that it was indeed a question worthy of my careful consideration.
My time is really running out, and I have already prepared for death. Sanqing Pendant is a legendary artifact, the cloth god is useless at all, to find it can be said that there is little hope, and to find it within two years can be said to be impossible to say.
So what I have to face is not only death, but also the inheritance of the descendants of our Chu family.
But what can I do? Is it really as the sloppy old man suggests, drop out of school, marry a wife and have children? And then two years later, leave the orphans and widows to live alone in this world?
In my philosophy, what is the difference between a union without love and those stray dogs who are merciful everywhere? The reason why man is different from beasts is that he can control some aspects of his desires, and if he can't control them, he is a beast.
And, if I really did that. How unfair is that to the one who is left behind? Could it be that she is just being used as a tool for our Chu family's inheritance? Then I'm no different from a beast, and I'm no different from a fucked fate.
At the age of eighteen, I am considered an adult from a legal point of view, but speaking of which, what mature concept of good and evil can an eighteen-year-old student have? But I don't know why, I can think about so many messy things, and I have to say that I am indeed a little too precocious.
This is a dead end, I don't want our Chu family to be wiped out from the beginning, and I don't want to hurt any innocent person, it seems that no matter what I do, I am wrong.
Forget it, don't think about things you don't understand, because it's useless to think about it, just go with the flow and be myself. I squinted, forced myself to empty my brain, and slowly fell asleep.
……。
Speaking of Lao Cai, he is undoubtedly lucky, although he also has five disadvantages and three shortcomings, it is a power shortage that is not painful for him, and it can even be said that he would like to do this.
Because in this case, when Uncle Cheng asked him to inherit their company, Lao Cai could say openly and openly that I am destined for lack of power. In this way, you can continue to live the life of a chic young master with peace of mind.
And this may be the reason why he has been so sassy these days.
And I should be lucky, because Lao Cai, who has become extremely sassy, actually generously contracted my living expenses for the rest of the semester.
I asked him if he was overdoing it, why was he so generous?
Lao Cai shook his head that had become an inch, looked up at the sky at 45 degrees with deep eyes, and said: Because I am rich and willful. ……。
When I returned to the classroom and heard what Viagra said, I suddenly reacted, and this half semester is only a week.
Viagra said that there will be a final exam next Wednesday, let's play well. I didn't listen to the mess in the back.
This year is coming to an end, yes, before you know it, time flies so quickly. I didn't even know what it was like to be in high school.
If you think about it, in this short half a year, I went to the hospital twice, and each time I went there was not a short time, and it added up to more than a month. So it's understandable to feel that time flies.
I don't know if it's the reason for the approaching New Year, this week's snow is particularly diligent, each time it is bigger and bigger, and sometimes when I wake up, the whole world turns white.
So I can often see Song Mink bouncing on the playground like a child. If it had been before, I might have said that she was a child, but after knowing her true identity, I would never say such a thing. While I still don't know how long she lived, I'm sure she's definitely more than eighteen.
I don't know if it's because Song Mink and I know each other's secrets, I am getting more and more familiar with her, and that familiarity is different from the previous table mates, but more and more like confidants.
Of course, although I told her all my secrets, including that I learned the legendary Sanqing Talisman. But I never mentioned this sad thing that I didn't live to be twenty years old, not because I still had reservations about her, but because this kind of thing is more suitable for stuffing in my heart, isn't it?
Uncle Deng called me this weekend and asked me to go to his house for dinner. Deng Qian's mother still kept serving me vegetables as always, and Deng Qian became more and more familiar with me, and she didn't have the same restraint as before.
Regarding Deng Qian's ghost charm on the weekend night, I explained to Deng Qian and asked her not to talk about it to her family, she and I had the same thoughts, and they didn't want to bring up the past again to worry their families. So Uncle Deng didn't know about it.
Speaking of Deng Qian, since she bought me breakfast on Monday morning, she bought it for me every morning since then, and she still told me that she bought too much and couldn't finish it.
One day I couldn't help it, and joked to her: "Sister, you can't do this for a long time, if you don't have me, wouldn't you waste these things?" Or you can raise a pig and not waste food. ”
After finishing speaking, Deng Qian blushed, and then suddenly covered her mouth and laughed. Only then did I realize that I had scolded myself with this sentence, and it made me blush.
During the meal, I asked Uncle Deng if he knew anything strange had happened to his family. Because I feel a little calm during this time, speaking of which, there is no news from Xiao Zheng and the sloppy old man, which makes me feel that something is wrong, if it is really as Xiao Zheng said, there are a lot of ghosts hidden in the county, how can it be so quiet?
Could it be that except for the terrible ghost who entangled Deng Qian at the beginning, are the other ghosts all the masters who keep to themselves?
When Uncle Deng heard me ask him this, he shook his head and said to me: "It's very strange, when my family Qianqian had an accident, I also heard that a child in a family also had a strange disease, but I heard that it was cured a few days ago. I don't know about the rest, and I haven't heard of anything strange happening to anyone's house, so it's all quite peaceful. ”
I nodded, thinking that this would be good, so I don't have to worry about it everywhere, and this winter vacation will be quieter and happier. Why do some things need to be made clear? Especially for someone as lazy as me.
Yes, I'm really lazy, and I'm even too lazy to think that if I like someone, I should chase her and confess to her.
Just as my relationship with Xie Min is the same as before, although I seem to be more familiar with her than before, at least we add QQ to each other, and I often find some English topics that I don't understand to ask her for advice. Of course, it's not like I'm looking for it, because when I open the test paper or workbook, I can't answer any question.
But that's all there is to our relationship, and that's it for the rest of our lives.
The difference is that in the few days I have left, I should think of her from time to time, and I don't know if she will occasionally think of me as a person.
It was snowing on Friday's final exams, and I stood in the playground watching the crowd of people coming and going home.
This school is not familiar to me, even the classmates in the class, I have spent half a year in the seventy-first class, but I can't even name all the classmates in the class.
They kept walking out of the dormitory one by one, saying goodbye to me one by one, and telling me goodbye next year. I smiled and waved at them and said happy winter vacation.
During this period, I met Deng Qian, Uncle Deng came to pick her up, and when I was leaving, Uncle Deng told me that I would come to the county seat when I had time and go to their house for dinner. I smiled and nodded, telling him it would.
I also met Xie Min, who greeted me with a smile and a bag on her back. I nodded and told her to stay safe on the way back. Then I watched her disappear little by little at the school gate.
Xie Min transferred from a neighboring county, so she should go to the station to take the train when she goes home. I don't know if she has been sleepwalking recently, or if her sleepwalking symptoms have improved? She doesn't seem to be talking to me about her condition since I accidentally said the wrong thing in the hospital. As always, I still think that her situation is indeed the cause of illness, after all, there are so many people in the world who sleep and sleepwalk?
I remember the night I met her in the woods, and she told me that she believed me, when I was there.
I think she probably thought I was waiting for her there to explain to her, or to apologize to her.
Maybe she felt that she was in a very important position in my heart, so she would try her best to create a chance encounter with her, in fact, she really had a very important position in my heart, so I told that lie that night without the slightest guilt.
I think she must have been moved, that's why she said those words to me. But in the end, she still had a grudge in her heart because I accidentally said the wrong thing in the hospital.
While I was thinking about these things in a daze, Lao Cai went down to the dormitory building and told me that his father was about to arrive, let me get ready, and then we went home.
I nodded, then went upstairs to get what I had prepared, and after going downstairs, Uncle Cheng also arrived, so I walked with Lao Cai to the school gate.
I glanced back at the school and at the crowd of people coming and going. The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and I seemed to see Song Mink running in the snow.
Looking at the big words '×× County Experimental Middle School' written above the school gate, I whispered to it in my heart: "See you next year...... ”
Then he took Uncle Cheng's car and went away.
