(10) Retribution

Two years ago, during the summer vacation of my sophomore year, my classmates introduced me to work in a record store, and I met Brother Cong. Brother Cong is ten years older than me, he is a very experienced person, he often laughs at me for being too young and easy to be deceived, but I laugh and always say that he is wary of people, no wonder he has no girlfriend at the age of thirty.

At that time, Zhimin went to join the army, and my family took this opportunity to ask me to cut off contact with him, because they said that Zhimin was only a high school graduate and was not suitable for me at all. I disagreed, and my father beat me. He said that if I had to go with him, I would leave school immediately, and he would treat him as if he had never given birth to my daughter.

I saw Brother Cong that night, and he said that he couldn't help himself with many things in life, and asked me to find an opportunity to talk to Zhimin.

Jimin finally took a vacation, and he couldn't wait to see me, but when I told him about it, he was silent for a long time without saying a word. I hated his uselessness, hated his silence, and I called Brother Cong that night.

I want him to drink with me, I don't know why I think of him at this time, I just know that he is the only one who will be by my side and listen to the pain in my heart. The breakup was brought up by me. At that time, I didn't know why I was so impulsive, maybe I didn't love him so much anymore, maybe I couldn't stand the pressure my father gave me anymore, but at this time, I suddenly felt that only Brother Cong could accompany me without regrets. I don't know why I thought that, but I ...... that night

I finally knew that Brother Cong loved me deeply, but I didn't know anything about his feelings. All I know is that every time something happens to me, he's there for me.

I was so miserable and conflicted, but no one could help me, and finally I accepted Brother Cong. But I still can't figure out that in just three weeks, Brother Cong and I have changed from strangers to lovers, everything is like a dream.

I asked him why he liked me, and he said he didn't even know about it. He said that he seemed to have been waiting for something until he met me. I laughed at him, who was a little older, but spoke like a twenty-year-old student.

Three weeks before the start of school, Brother Cong bought a sports car, which was an original Toyota convertible imported from Japan. He said that he saw that I was in a bad mood and wanted to take me for a ride, but that car was actually only because I said "so beautiful" at the exhibition a month ago that Brother Cong decided to buy it. I don't know what I looked at when I stared at the car, but Brother Cong must have seen that I wanted to own it.

In August, the clouds are light and the wind is light. It's a great day to travel. I said I liked the beauty of the South Coast, and Brother Cong nodded in agreement. On the wide road, our car galloped on the highway, enjoying everyone's envy and admiration, the gentle wind whistling overhead, and at that moment I felt that the whole world belonged to us.

"It seems to be ......," Tongtong and Xi'er said at the same time.

"Actually, I had a vague impression in my mind, but I didn't know what it was at the time. I just felt that there was something strange in my heart. "Zhizi is no longer as calm and at ease as she used to be.

"Fly 101!" I screamed because it was the only car I knew, but Brother Cong seemed to have misunderstood what I meant and rushed forward.

A few seconds later, the Flying 101 was far behind us. I exclaimed excitedly, and Brother Cong laughed out loud and smugly when he heard my laughter, all of this was so familiar, but I didn't know where I had seen this scene.

The Flying 101 didn't give up and followed us closely, but they didn't expect the acceleration and agility of the car to be quite far behind us, and finally they were nowhere to be seen, and we laughed proudly again.

Later, Brother Cong slowed down the car, seemed to remember something, and his face was weird. I looked at him and a strange feeling slipped through my heart, and a voice sounded in my heart: It's him! But I don't know what that means.

Brother Cong thought about it, and the speed of the car slowed down. I saw him stop talking a few times, and glanced uneasily in the rearview mirror.

As a result, I found that Flying 101 was right behind us, and I couldn't help but scream, and Brother Cong was startled and stepped on the accelerator with his foot.

Flying 101 rushed to our pants, but the front was blocked by a car, and the driver flashed to the left to get ahead of us, but at this time our car was speeding forward.

"Bang!" Something hit the rear of our car hard, and the car swerved to the left, uncontrollably towards the guardrail. My mind went blank, the world seemed to have stopped, and I had no idea what had happened in the meantime. When I came back to my senses, a voice next to me said with certainty, "Don't be afraid! I'm here! At this time, I remembered the story that Xiao Yu had said, and I didn't dare to open my eyes at all, but a pair of strong arms hugged me: "Don't be afraid! I'm here! From his voice I knew that he was fine, slowly opened his eyes, as soon as I saw him I couldn't help crying, in the blur of tears I knew that I had picked up a life, but the car was almost completely destroyed, he patted me on the back and said, "It's okay!" It's okay! ”

Forty minutes later, the traffic police arrived, surveyed the scene in detail, and asked us to make a transcript of what had happened. Then he said a few words into the walkie-talkie, then turned to us and said, "Three bodies were found under the bridge more than 400 meters away." Alas! It's really ...... to be almost thirty years old and still drive this kind of fast car Judging from the situation on the scene, we really can't figure out the reason, but even if it is their fault, don't worry! ”

Three lives! And so it ended. Is it our fault? I couldn't think about it at all, but I didn't know why there was a glimmer of joy in my heart, maybe it was gratitude to God! Brother Cong's face was ugly, and his eyes were full of remorse and pain.

That night I was so frightened that I couldn't sleep as I lay in bed tossing and turning. After a long, long time, I felt that I dreamed of the three dead people. They stood in front of me covered in blood, their eyes full of resentment. He glared at me viciously and reached out to grab me. I felt unable to move at all, and the blood from the hands of the three of them continued to drip onto my head. face. I screamed, and their hands slowly reached for my neck, and I exclaimed, "Don't...... Other...... Stay back! ”

But then a shadow seemed to emerge from me, and I saw the three men with a look of horror on their faces. I opened my eyes wide and looked closely, and a woman in a black dress appeared in front of me, exactly like you described.

Speaking of this, Zhizi couldn't help but tremble, she gasped a few times, and then said: "I felt cold completely, stretched out my hand to pull up the quilt and struggled to wrap my head and face, but her cold voice penetrated into her ears word by word: 'You still recognize me!' ’”

The three of them shouted a few times and said, "It's not our fault! ”

"And what is your purpose today?"

There was silence for a long time, as if the three of them didn't know how to speak.

"Everything is predestined! Let's go! The woman let out a loud and threatening sound.

"Well, the man's ......"

"Huh...... Scold...... See for yourselves! ”

They didn't answer, and the woman didn't say anything more. After a long time, I couldn't figure out if I was still awake or still in a dream, so I slowly pulled down the quilt and poked my head out to see again, and there was no one in front of me.

The quilt was wet with cold sweat, and then I suddenly remembered the story of Xiao Yu, could it be that those things are true? No, it won't! I'm going to rest, I'm going to have to fall asleep, absolutely no more.

(11) Love?

Amid the loud noise, I woke up. After a night of twists and turns, my head was groggy. I scolded softly: "I don't want to think about what time it is, it's noisy early in the morning?!" I stuck my head out the window and was immediately stunned. There was a man lying downstairs, the blood was blurred, and I suddenly had an ominous premonition in my heart, and then there was a strong banging sound outside the door: "Something's wrong!" Something happened to Mr. Cong! ”

"No, no! It can't be him, it can't be him. Several flashes of thunder kept ringing in my head, and in the panic, I finally opened the door, and Mr. Chen next door said, "Xiaozhi, you have to calm down, Mr. Cong committed suicide last night!" ”

"Suicide? Suicide? A smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, and there was no sadness in my heart. It's just that I didn't expect him to leave me like this, I couldn't even tell if I really loved him, and when I walked up to him, I heard a voice in my heart shouting, "Dead! Finally dead! ”

"Who's talking?" I asked out loud. Finally figured it out, "It's her!" I knew it had to be her, why did you choose me? No! Why did you choose me? I want to ask her why she chose me? Zhizi was almost a little crazy, Tongtong hugged her tightly and said, "Zhizi! Zhizi! Relax, it's over! It's over! ”

"Brother Cong left me a letter, and it reads: Zhi: I was no longer there when you saw this letter, and I always wanted to tell you about it, but it's a pity...... Alas! The mistake was just a mistake on my part, and after reading the evening newspaper, I realized that the three people were none other than my three friends. They had just come to see me, and I knew I couldn't run away anymore this time. Don't be sad for me, everything is predestined. Ten years ago, when I turned 20, my father gave me a new car, and one night we went to take a hot spring bath and met a couple when we came out.

At that time, there were four of us, because we were small, we were not very sensible, and we pointed at the time and said that the woman was very charming, but unfortunately she followed a thirty-seven or eighteen-year-old Kaizi, which was inevitably a bit wasteful. Stinky Feet suggested teasing them, saying that the old Kaizi drove a broken car and wanted to soak in women, which was really beyond his means. Who knew that old Kaizi was actually an expert, and we almost killed him. Stinky Feet said that this old boy's car couldn't speed up like that, and he would see how good we were later, but we never thought they would be killed by us, but we really didn't mean to. We went to the scene and saw that almost the whole river had turned red, and the man's feet were still floating on the water.

All these years, I dreamed of those feet, and I will never forget the look in the woman's eyes, she said that she would never let us go, and the woman committed suicide two days later. I've been enlightened since that day, but what's the use?

The woman had just come to see me, and she said she had forgiven me, but I knew I couldn't forgive myself. Embarking on this path is probably the best choice for me. Angelica! I know that you don't love me at all, you just treat me as your big brother, your father, you give me I know it's not love at all, go back to Zhimin!

I know you still love him, don't give up! True happiness must be fought for with your own hands, goodbye!

Zhi, don't be sad for me!

Brother Cong, why did he assert that I didn't love him, I just couldn't figure out what true love was!

Men are always so arbitrary and always have to make choices for the people they love, I don't accept it!

Zhizi shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. Who is she really in love with in her heart? Maybe only she knows best, but Zhizi didn't know until after Brother Cong's death, since the day he met Brother Cong, he waited downstairs every day, waiting for her to go downstairs and watch her go upstairs, no wonder he would always be by his side whenever he wanted.

"Where's Zhimin?" Kirito asked.

"His family has a steakhouse!" Zhizi said quietly.

"Does he still love you?"

"Him?" Zhizi sneered and said, "He loves his mother!" He says he doesn't like me pestering him! ”

Tongtong remembered Xiaoyu's words again: "When Xiaozhi figured out her true love, she found that she had never loved at all. She remembered Xi'er, at least when Brother Chen died, he knew that Xi'er loved him, but it was already too late. People may only love once in this life, but Zhizi knows that she has missed this time! ”

"No, it won't! I didn't love at all, I didn't miss it once! No...... No! ”

"Zhizi, be sober. The train is almost there! Tong Tong said.

"What about the woman?" Xi'er couldn't help but ask.

"Gone. That night I dreamed that she apologized and said goodbye to me, saying that she didn't know it would be like this! ”

"Zhizi! Have you ever thought about going to school again? Tong Tong said quietly.

Xi'er looked at Tongtong suspiciously, and Zhizi sighed and said, "It turns out that I am the most untrustworthy, but now I have to believe it, I will consider it." ”

"Get out of the car!" Xi'er said.

"Hmm!"

Today next year must be spent in a foreign land, and Zhizi suddenly has such a feeling. Xi'er. Tongtong looked at Zhizi, and the two couldn't help but burst into tears again.

(12) The death of Xiao Yu

The train arrived at the station, and after the ticket was cut, I walked up to the platform, and there was a faint smell of humidity in the early morning air.

"It's going to rain!" Xi'er looked at the sky and said softly.

"What?" Tongtong asked casually, but Xi'er was silent.

"Woo......" The train entered the station, Zhizi stepped onto the train, Tongtong followed behind her, Xi'er looked at the sky a few more times, and finally walked into the carriage.

The train started and the rain began to fall. Six years ago, it was the same rain, they said goodbye here with tears, sent away Zhizi and Tongtong, the bits and pieces of the past three years finally came to a temporary end on this day, and after another week, Xi'er said goodbye to Xiaoyu here again, and they haven't seen Xiaoyu since then.

Occasional vacations, Tongtong and Zhizi rarely go home. Xi'er's sophomore year of high school because she was not used to living outside, her family suggested going to school, although Xi'er was reluctant, but she couldn't resist the hard persuasion of her family or agreed, the first week after going to school, Xi'er saw Xiaoyu's back in a trance here, and they haven't heard Xiaoyu's news since then. The school life of the three has been very busy, Zhizi. Tongtong wrote a letter to Xi'er, asking her to find Xiaoyu, because the letter was returned, and after another week, Xi'er came to visit, only to know that Xiaoyu had disappeared, Xiaoyu's father sat in the living room and still didn't say a word, Xiaoyu's mother shook her head and seemed to be desperate. The aunt left her to sit for a while, and Xi'er nodded. From his uncle's eyes, he was also reluctant to know the taro, but he couldn't cross the barrier in his heart. Xiaoyu left a letter with a short number written on it: "The fate is over, and I should go." Mom, Dad, thank you! Or say sorry! ”

"Why didn't you come along and take a look?" Tong Tong said.

"Actually, I wasn't sure at the time, but it felt very similar, and I even thought she looked back at me, and I believed she saw me, but she might have insisted on leaving!"

"I think no one can change what she decides!" Zhizi's voice was a little low.

"Alas! The gathering and dispersion of life is very short, but only after the real payment will you know how to cherish it! Xi'er said.

In the early morning of the fast train, in addition to the three of them, there were some students who went to school, the noise in the carriage was getting louder and louder, a little boy sat next to Xi'er, because he seemed a little embarrassed to lean on the three of them, Xi'er's brain was still buzzing, but he still smiled slightly and leaned inside. The little boy nodded in thanks, and it didn't take long for the little boy to seem tired and soon let out a subtle snoring sound. Xi'er remembered Zhizi and smiled at her. But Zhizi looked out the window and didn't notice the little boy's actions.

"Gently I go, as softly I come, I gently beckon, as the clouds of the western heavens......"

Such a singing voice was coming from a portable tape recorder behind him, Zhizi seemed to feel something, and sighed, but then a female student behind him complained: "This seems to be Xu Zhimo's poem!" Textual, turntable, turntable! ”

After a while, another piece of Western music came over the radio.

You should know what our love means, this love will last forever, I need you to be with me forever, from this night until the moment time stops, you are the only meaning in my life, you are like my inspiration, you make my life feel like I really need you to be by my side......

The four female students behind him hummed softly, and Xi'er looked over, their faces filled with joy and youthful joy. Maybe their age is more suitable for such a song, full of dreamy love!

When I arrived at Yuanlin, there were more people again. The music was mixed with loud noises that sounded rather harsh. Look at the time it's already seven o'clock, it should be almost there, Xi'er thought. Sure enough, the train began to slow down and finally came to a slow stop. The three of them stood up and prepared to get out of the car, the little boy next to him was still dreaming, Xi'er thought that maybe he hadn't arrived yet, so it was not easy to wake him up, so he stepped carefully in front of him and walked out of the car.

"How could the address left by the strange obituary be in Changhua?"

"yes, could it be that she is already married!"

"But why didn't you let us know?"

Xi'er shook her head, not knowing how to answer all this. Suddenly, Xi'er felt that her body was cold and was hit by something, and she turned her head and looked around in surprise.

"What's wrong?"

"No, nothing...... Maybe you were dazzled and mistaken for a while! ”

"Let's go!"

Xiaoyu's home is still some distance from the train station, the three of them stopped a taxi, Tongtong opened the door and immediately closed the door, looking a little panicked, the driver glared at her, and asked unhappily, "What's wrong?" ”

"I'm sorry, I thought ......" Tongtong's face turned pale, and Zhizi saw that she was full of suspicion, and the three of them got into the car again.

"Okay, this is it. It seems like there's a funeral ahead, so I'm not going to go! ”

When I arrived at Xiaoyu's house, the spiritual tent had already been erected. At the top of Xiaoyu's photo, a middle-aged man in his forties stood at the door, his eyes were slightly dark, his eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed to have not slept for several nights. The three of them explained their intentions, and the man nodded and said, "Oh, it's you! "It means that I have been looking forward to the three of them for a long time.

"Are you ......," Zhizi asked.

"I'm Xiaoyu...... Well......" didn't seem to be able to think of how to describe it, Zhizi thought that maybe he had a problem, so he then asked, "What about Xiaoyu's parents?" ”

"They ......," the man shook his head and pointed in, meaning inside.

"Can we go see her?" Tongtong's tears were about to fall.

"Yes, yes, it's inside!"

Entering the inner hall, Xiaoyu's coffin was placed inside. A woman in her forties leaned on the coffin and kept sobbing, her uncle stared blankly at the coffin, and her aunt leaned back on the sofa, her eyes red and swollen as if she had been crying for a while. The footsteps of the three of them startled her body, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that it was them who hurriedly got up and said, "You ...... It's coming! At this, tears fell back from his eyes.

"Auntie, don't be too upset!"

Although Zhizi said this, she couldn't hold back her sadness in her heart anymore. Auntie's voice was haggard and indistinct: "It's too ...... It's so sudden! I...... I ......"

Speaking of this, she couldn't continue at all, paused for a long time, picked up a brown paper bag, and said, "This thing was left by her, and it was written that the three of you would open it together, and we don't know what was inside?" I hope you've seen it...... Can you ...... after reading it Can you ......" Zhizi held her and nodded to show that she knew what she meant.

Xi'er took the paper bag and touched it slightly, feeling that there should be one or two books in it.

At this time, the woman also walked over, her body was already a little shaky, as if she was going to greet the three of them, Zhizi's heart was sour, and she immediately stopped and said, "You're welcome, let's see her here!" ”

Xiao Yu's face was calm and didn't seem to have much pain, his hands were clasped in front of his chest, and a young life ended like this, and the three of them were just trying their best to restrain their eyes. Zhizi and Lala pointed to the hall and motioned for them to go outside. Tongtong was a little stubborn, Zhizi pointed to the three aunts again, Tongtong finally understood that she didn't want to make them sad more, so she nodded and forced the pain in her heart, and pretended to be calm and said, "Uncle, aunt, let's go out first." Both the aunt and the woman nodded, but the uncle did not move.

When she walked to the living room, Zhizi glanced out of the door, her face suddenly turned pale, as if she saw something, and hurriedly rushed out, Xi'er. Tongtong followed behind, and Zhizi said to herself, "It's strange! ”

"What?"

"Nothing!"

"Could Xiao Yu have committed suicide?" Zhizi said casually.

"Maybe!" Xi'er replied in a low voice, Tongtong choked up, and said puzzledly: "She...... She's so stupid! ”

"In fact, everyone's life and death have a reason, and it's not entirely true!" Xi'er's tears crackled and fell.

"Look at the paper bag that Xiaoyu left us, what is in it?" Zhizi said.

"Hmm!"

It was written that the three of them were dismantled together, and the seal was intact, so the family should not have seen it.
