Chapter 513: Love is not allowed
Although Xiao Hong didn't explicitly say who the person who did good deeds here back then was, Zhou Yimo could guess who it was, and couldn't help but shudder, and his intuition chilled.
She felt that she was unfortunate enough, but she didn't think that there were many people in this world who were more unfortunate than her, just like Xiao Hong in front of her, she just wanted to read books and change her fate through knowledge.
This is a normal idea, but in such a mountain village and such a family, it has become an unattainable dream. She worked hard to persevere, and paid a price that normal people could not imagine.
In the end, she succeeded, but the price of those efforts was also a lifelong shame for her.
Although Zhou Yimo couldn't see Xiao Hong's expression, she could tell from her tone that she should be laughing.
All the previous narrations she had used to do so in a very cold tone, but when she said this paragraph, her mind seemed to have slowly calmed down, and there was a sense of indifference between the words.
For a long time, Zhou Yimo asked: "After Liang Kuan brought you to S City, did you completely agree to his conditions and willingly be a spy for him?" β
Xiao Hong's back stiffened obviously, and then shook his head: "No, I thought about escaping on the train, but I didn't succeed, and after arriving in S City, I have been looking for an opportunity to escape." β
"Why did you stay?" If she did escape, it wouldn't have ended like this.
"Because ......" she stopped again, looking up at the hotel across the street, and it was a long time before she let out a heavy sigh: "I ran away from here ten years ago, and it was my brother who helped me stop that bastard, and he told me to run first, and I really ran away...... But then Liang Kuan told me that my brother hugged the other man's leg that night and told me to go first, and finally was pushed downstairs, a full twenty flights of steps, and the back of his head hit the stone pillar of the staircase. Doctors diagnosed a broken neck bone, a cerebral hemorrhage, severe cranial trauma leading to severe coma, and kidney failure when he was taken to the hospital. β
At that time, Liang Kuan told Xiao Hong that Xiao Rui would definitely not survive the end of the year, and her mother was going to give up, almost leaving him in the hospital and ignoring him.
and the man who was stabbed in the eye by her, Liang Kuan said, couldn't find Xiao Hong looking for trouble with her family. Xiao Hong didn't care about taking responsibility, she was worried about her brother. After all, Xiao Rui was affected because of Xiao Hong, she couldn't bear it and was unwilling, her younger brother left this world at such a young age, she knelt down for Liang Kuan at that time and begged him to save her younger brother.
She was only a teenager at the time, and she was completely panicked, and she didn't notice the sparkle that flashed in Liang Kuan's eyes. So, some things are really just a thought.
When Xiao Hong ran out of the stairs of the hotel, it was a thought. The contract she signed with Liang Kuan later was also in a thought.
Over the years, she often thought that if she had been a little more patient, a little more patient, and had not tried to resist, and had not stabbed that man's eyes, maybe Shen Wei would not have had an accident; Or if she didn't run away on her own at that time, but turned back to save Xiao Rui, then Xiao Rui should not have been pushed downstairs by that man.
But where are there so many "ifs" and "ors", the outcome of many things was decided in that second, it was her cowardice and selfishness that hurt her brother, if he died like this, it would become a debt that she would not be able to repay in her life.
Zhou Yimo didn't expect such a thing, it can be said that Xiao Rui exchanged his life for her rebirth, and then in connection with the things Xiao Hong said just now, those bloodstained pasts, everything has exceeded the scope of Zhou Yimo's imagination.
How much has she been through in this small town, in this little hotel?
Zhou Yimo couldn't believe it, some encounters many people have probably never tried in their lives, but she has tasted them all in her 28-year-old life, human warmth, hypocrisy and dirtiness, money and human nature transactions, and the contest between blood and life, what else? There is also sin, and guilt, and fear and nightmares that cannot be escaped.
"You ......" Zhou Yimo's language is lacking again, and it is no longer something that can be solved by any word of comfort or guidance.
The rain kept falling, because she held the umbrella above Xiao Hong's head, so she was already all wet, but she didn't dare to go, and she couldn't go, but stood with her, standing opposite the Fulin Hotel, looking at the mottled faΓ§ade.
The figure in front of her was thin but straight, and she chose this weather and this place to tell the secret that had been pressed in her heart for more than ten years.
Zhou Yimo looked down at the ground under his feet, and asked in a dirty and muddy manner: "Do Qin Feng know about these things?" β
Xiao Hong shook her head: "I don't know." β
Zhou Yimo: "You don't want him to know?" β
There is also a reason why she asked this, because Qin Feng now knows that she is a commercial spy that Liang Kuan planted beside him, and with her character of revenge, Xiao Hong can be safe and sound until now, which shows that he still has feelings for Xiao Hong.
Xiao Hong knew what Zhou Yimo meant, glanced at the hotel opposite, and smiled bitterly: "I can't let him know!" β
Zhou Yimo: "Are you afraid that he will mind after he finds out?" β
Xiao Hong: "Mind? Scold...... Don't mind that simple! β
Then the figure in front of him gradually turned around, and in the rain and mist, Zhou Yimo saw Xiao Hong's eyes that became more and more quiet after being stained with moisture.
"Just now I asked you if you believe in fate, you say you don't believe it, but I believe it, and I must believe it, because everything has been fulfilled in me, karma, love is not possible, and karmic reincarnation, all of which I have already experienced."
Zhou Yimo said, "Did you just give up?" β
Xiao Hong smiled very poignantly, what if she didn't give up, how could there be a way out?
There is no way out at all!
So she probably gave up struggling, and was willingly trapped in the middle of the net, not resisting, not fighting, and just living with the pain like this.
Xiao Hong went to the Fulin Hotel, to be exact, she just stood across the street and watched from a distance for a while, and after she went back, her body temperature went up, Zhou Yimo saw that her face was really ugly, and persuaded her to go to the hospital, but Xiao Hong refused to live or die.
Zhou Yimo had no choice, so she could only let her go, and asked the driver to buy antipyretic medicine and feed her, seeing her lying on the bed in a daze, waking up and sleeping for a while, she was really not at ease, so she simply didn't go back to her room, and took a chair to sit there to accompany her.
After the medicinal properties came up, Xiao Hong slept for a while, but it was a nightmare, when she woke up, it was completely dark, the room was very dark, Zhou Yimo was not there, but there was something on the reliable window table, it was the tablet computer that Zhou Yimo brought over, probably I was really bored when I was here just now, so I used it.
Xiao Hong uncovered the quilt and got out of bed, walked over and glanced at it, there was a network card inserted on the tablet, the screen was not dark, and a small sun in the middle was trying to turn in circles, showing that a web page was loading.
Maybe the signal in the mountains is too poor, the webpage opens very slowly, Xiao Hong didn't care, her eyes were about to move away, but the screen suddenly flashed, and the webpage jumped out, with a huge title and a few blurry photos - "The second young man of the Qin family will spread the good news after the divorce, the other party is Du Feifei, a red wine merchant in country C, and he will get married on a later date."
At this moment, the door opened, and Zhou Yimo walked in with his mobile phone.
"Awake? I just went out and got a phone call. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Xiao Hong turn around from the table, holding her tablet in her hand.
Zhou Yimo didn't pay attention at first, but after a few seconds, she noticed the expression on her face, and then she realized it, and immediately walked over, the web page on the computer screen was still lit, still staying on that page, Zhou Yimo glanced at the title, and frowned.
"You see?"
"See what?"
"The marriage of Qin Feng and Du Feifei, the proprietress of the Red Winery in Country C."
Xiao Hong's hand on the computer sank: "It has been announced on the Internet." β
"Maybe it's just chasing after the wind."
"Chasing the wind?" Xiao Hong snorted and put the computer on the table again, "It doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with me!" She walked to the bed again, and said as she went, "You don't have to stay here with me all the time, go out, I want to sleep a little longer." β
Zhou Yimo wanted to persuade her, but it can be seen that Xiao Hong lay directly on the bed, leaving her with only a back, and some words were blocked in her throat and couldn't be spoken, and finally she just paused and replied: "Okay, I'll go back to the room first, and call me if there's something." β
Xiao Hong let out a low "um", closed her eyes, and then heard the sound of the door closing, Zhou Yimo's footsteps moved away, and the dead silence in the room returned again, and Xiao Hong opened her eyes.
The faint light from the window came in, casting a lonely shadow on the wall beside her bed.
After Zhou Yimo returned to the room, he brought up the webpage just now, and carefully read the news and photos on it, which roughly means that Qin Feng and Du Feifei fell in love at first sight, and the two families have officially met, discussed the marriage, and attached a few photos of the two families eating together.
Zhou Yimo knew that Qin Feng's action had always been strong, but he didn't expect to make such a quick decision in this matter, but before contacting, he did the same for Zhou Yiqian, he would fight for what he wanted as soon as possible, and he would give up as soon as he didn't want anything.
Zhou Yimo wanted to call Qin Ye to ask clearly, but before the number was dialed out, he heard a "bang" next door closing, he immediately put down his mobile phone and went out, seeing that Xiao Hong was about to walk to the staircase, he shouted: "Where are you going?" β
Xiao Hong stood still: "Go out and buy something!" β
"What to buy?"
"Smoke!"
"When did you learn to smoke so you could still smoke?"
Xiao Hong's back paused, but she didn't answer, and continued to walk forward, Zhou Yimo was a little angry, and chased after her and pulled her wrist.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Hong wanted to shake off as if she was reflexive, but Zhou Yimo used her hard work, and she couldn't shake her off at all.
Xiao Hong was also annoyed.
"Let go, what the hell are you going to do?"
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to buy cigarettes!"
"No, your fever hasn't gone away, what are you smoking?"
"You can't die, you let go!" Xiao Hong seemed to be brute force, and she couldn't hold it back, and in the end, Zhou Yimo was completely furious, and simply wrapped her arm around her shoulder.
"Are you so interesting? Why spoil yourself for the sake of an impossible man! β
"Whoever has ruined himself, let go!" Xiao Hong wanted to pull her wrist out, but her other hand couldn't be used because of the injury, and in the end she was so angry that she yelled at Zhou Yimo: "I think smoking is my business, is it your turn to take care of it?" Who are you? β
As a result, this voice made Zhou Yimo stunned in place, his hand loosened, and he looked at Xiao Hong with cold eyes.
Xiao Hong didn't show weakness at all, glared back at him with a pair of burned red eyes, the cramped corridor of the hotel was full of damp and mildew after the rain, and both of them became short of breath because of the dispute, but Zhou Yimo looked at Xiao Hong's face, pale and thin, and his forehead was still covered with sweat.
seemed to be able to understand her mood at this time, but she couldn't do anything, and finally bowed her head slightly.
Xiao Hong turned around to go downstairs, and heard Zhou Yimo behind him say, "It's cooling outside, I'll buy it for you!" β
