Chapter 16: Even if the heavy rain turns the city upside down

"Little Ear, today is the third day you've been gone, and I miss you so much. It's raining again in the sky, and it seems to be crying for me for you. I can't cry anymore, I just want to hug you. ”

"But I don't even know where you're buried. Sometimes you're really not cute at all, and you say you'll be together all the time, but you leave first. ”

"Little Ear, this is the first time you've lied to me, but it's also the last time. If you really can, I want you to keep lying to me. As long as you can come back to life. ”

"Isn't life so fragile, you suddenly left. Actually, I don't care what happens to you, you're my little ear. No matter what you become, you're my little ear. ”

"Fate is really unfair, he gave you to me and took you away from me with his own hands. Don't worry, I'll avenge you. ”

On a rainy night, lightning and thunder roared. Lan Lan sat at the table and wrote these words, and she didn't write them to Li Er, because Li Er couldn't see it anymore. She herself may not even know who she wants to write these words to, maybe she has been suppressed in her heart for too long, and it will be better to write them.

In the past few days, she has not thought about tea and dinner, and Li Er's departure is undoubtedly a huge blow to Lan Lan.

She misses the bits and pieces of the past with Li Er, wants to grasp the last trace of warmth, wants to hug Li Er again, and wants to hear him say "I love you" to herself.

But after all, it's a dream. It is an indisputable fact that Lear died.

Lan Lan cleaned up her mood and went to bed to get ready for sleep. She needed to rest, and she barely closed her eyes in the days since Lear's death.

The rain outside the window had been raining all night. Lan Lan finally rested all night.

She slept well, and in the dream Li Er took her hand, danced with her all night, and kissed her on the forehead.

Lan Lan didn't want to wake up, but Li Er was already gone.

The weather was not good during the day, and the sky was still gray. Dark clouds sometimes gather and sometimes disperse, and the mood is happy or sad.

Lan Lan was walking in the school, and she was looking for someone.

The person who told her where Lear was that day, the one who said happy birthday to herself.

Only he could have been the real cause of Lear's death.

He always shows up at the critical moment.

In fact, Lan Qing has always been not far behind Lan Lan. Lan Qing also seemed to understand Lan Lan's thoughts.

He was very helpless, he didn't expect that he would be misunderstood.

But it can't be helped, after all, the promoter of the matter is indeed himself.

But the knot in my stupid sister's heart really needs to be untied.

Whoever started the trouble should end it.

"Are you looking for me?" Lan Qing appeared behind Lan Lan.

Lan Lan didn't look back, her hand was clenched tightly.

"Lear's death...... It has nothing to do with you. ”

"It's impossible to say that it doesn't matter, but I didn't kill Lear." Lan Qing didn't dare to say anything, he was afraid that Lan Lan would not be able to control his emotions and would do something out of the ordinary.

Lan Lan turned around and stared at Lan Qing.

"Then why did Lear die?"

"This is his fate, a fate written by his own hand."

"Who the hell are you?" Lan Lan was a little afraid to look at Lan Qing's eyes.

Lan Qing didn't speak, he approached Lan Lan step by step.

"What do you want to do?" Lan Lan was taken aback by Lan Qing's move.

"You know, everyone's destiny has been written." Lan Qing stopped.

"I'll tell you a story."

Lan Qing looked at the gray sky and recalled those gray memories.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There used to be a pair of sisters and brothers, and the two had a very good relationship.

They are only a year apart and have grown up together since childhood. The elder sister is gentle and beautiful, and the younger brother is lively and handsome.

The family of four is happy and lives a happy life.

But happiness is short-lived, and fate likes to play a joke. But the joke of fate is never funny.

An accident separated his younger brother from his family forever.

The accident made the whole family collapse, a budding life disappeared like this, he had not yet felt the world, he had not yet soared freely in this world, and he fell like this.

Life is so fragile that even if you don't touch it, it's still fragile.

Before his brother died, he encountered an incident that collapsed his little worldview. And he saw a man, and the man said to him,

"Son, you're dying. But don't be afraid, I can grant you a wish, and if you have something unwilling, I can help you. ”

The younger brother is still young, only six years old.

He would only cry and call his mom, dad and sister, trying to get them to take him away, he just wanted to go home.

But no matter how long he cried, the scenery around him was always the same, and the people in front of him always looked at him with a smile.

Those eyes were really terrifying.

The younger brother was scared, he didn't want to die yet.

"Child, your soul is dying, and if you don't have a desire before that, you won't have a chance in the future."

"I ...... I don't want to die! I want to live, I want my sister-"

"Okay."

The man was gone.

The boy watched the scene around him change, and finally returned to his familiar home.

was originally a happy family of four, but at this time there were only three people left.

They had sad expressions on their faces. The family of four sat at the table, each with no intention of eating.

"Sister...... Mommy, Dad! ”

The younger brother shouted happily, but no one answered him.

Only his sister tilted her head in his direction.

"Mom, I seem to hear my brother's voice."

"Don't talk nonsense." Mom touched her sister's head. One of her poor children has died, and the other is very uncomfortable.

Mom's tears flowed down the corners of her eyes.

The younger brother was a little overwhelmed, and the man said that he would fulfill his wish. But they don't seem to see themselves.

"Mom...... Father...... Sister ......"

"Well, let's eat." Dad brushed another pair of chopsticks and put them on the table.

"This is for my younger brother, my younger brother will be very happy to see it, we are still a family."

The younger brother wanted to cry, but he couldn't shed tears, he seemed to have really left this home and would never come back.

"Why is it so sad, my poor boy?" The man who made his wish came to life reappeared.

"You lied to me, my wish didn't come true at all."

"Did you know kid, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and there is a price to pay for fulfilling your wishes. Hahahaha......"

The man laughed.

"Who the hell are you, and why are you doing this?" The boy got angry.

"It's not that I'm going to do it, it's all meant to be. You are meant to live, and I am destined to keep you alive. ”

"You'll understand everything later. I'm just a wretched man played by fate. ”

The man disappeared again.

The boy stood in the corner, feeling like he was breathing painfully.

But the world gives you despair and hope.

"Brother, you're back!"

The sister hugged the boy and cried. The boy was standing in the corner of the living room, and the girl saw it with her own eyes.

"You know what, my child. The world is fair to everyone, and when he gives you something, he strips you of something else. ”

"If you want to survive, you have to pay a price. This is the law of the world. But you don't have to thank him, because that's what he should do, otherwise how could people be born, old, sick and die? ”

The boy froze, he didn't dare to talk to his sister, even if his sister was holding him, he didn't dare to move.

After the boy was reborn, his mind matured rapidly. He didn't know what his price was, he didn't dare to do anything, he was afraid that once he did, something irreversible would happen.

But it happened.

Parents began to forget about themselves. They firmly believe that they have never given birth to this child, and only their sister has always remembered their existence. She rebelled against her parents, wanting them to remember her brother.

But it was as if the younger brother had been erased from their minds.

Not only the parents, but also the people around them.

The girl's parents even took her to the hospital for a mental check-up.

"The price has already begun. Your quest has also begun. ”

"My ...... Task? The boy was puzzled.

"That's right, I once said that if you want to live forever, you have to pay a price. From now on, you are the Grim Reaper. You need to help the dying in this world fulfill their dying wishes. This is your calling, one of the costs of your survival. ”

"Do I have anything else to pay for?"

"The story has been written a long time ago, and the development of the plot is like this, and it is up to you to discover which of them is your price."

After saying this, the person disappeared.

My sister also forgot about her brother when she was ten years old. In that instant, the man was erased from her mind. It's like it never showed up.

The younger brother travels from place to place to complete his mission of death. At the same time, he was observing his sister in the dark, trying to find some clues.

After all, my sister is the one who remembers herself the longest.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lan Qing's story is finished, and Lan Lan has also listened to it.

"Life is so fragile, even if you don't touch it, it's still fragile." Lan Qing said.

"Parting is just the beginning."

Lan Lan didn't know how to answer, the story that the person in front of her had just told made her feel very immersed.

"Who the hell are you?" Lan Lan asked,

"Death."

"Why are you telling me this story?"

"The Grim Reaper in the story really exists. I've seen countless lives and deaths. I have seen all kinds of people, some of them are greedy, some are kind. Their end was predestined from birth. ”

"Just like Lear. This child is cowardly but kind. He likes you and loves you, and he will give you everything. ”

"What is Lear's wish?" Lan Lan asked.

"He wants you to forget about him."

Lan Lan cried, after a few days, she thought that her tears had already dried up, but because of Li Er, she cried again.

"How could he be so selfish...... How is this possible that I forgot about him! ”

"You're gone, don't let me continue to think about you in my memories......"

Lan Lan collapsed,

"I won't forget you, you don't want me to forget you."

Lan Lan pulled out the fruit knife from his sleeve and plunged it into his chest.

With a wave of his hand, Lan Qing snatched the knife away.

That knife was originally prepared by Lan Lan for Lan Qing.

"Please...... Please, let me die, I can't forget Lear...... You can't break your bones! ”

It was raining heavily in the sky again, and Lan Qing looked at Lan Lan who was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly.

The rain blurred Lan Lan's figure and Lan Lan's memory.

The city is still bustling, even when the rain pours.

The people in the dream still held hands, hugged each other, and kissed each other. If life is recycled, will two people be able to meet again?

Lan Qing only hopes that Lan Lan can have a good dream, because tomorrow is a new beginning.
