Chapter 20: Memories of the Past

Zhu Manru pursed her lips, moved a few steps, walked to an inconspicuous corner and stopped, and then began to say something she had seen with her own eyes: "I remember-

The day after we made the shoes, Shui Shui came back with the red embroidered shoes with a sad face.

"Shuishui, what's wrong with you?" I walked up to her and asked. You and Dora surrounded us.

Chen Shuishui glanced at us and sighed softly: "The shoes we make are not good, and my mother said that I must embroider them myself." Otherwise, something bad will happen, and later I want to treasure this pair of embroidered shoes embroidered by the four of us. But my mother said that it must be burned, and embroidered shoes can only be made in one pair, not two! Otherwise, disaster will befall you. So I'll bring it back and let the four of us stink figure it out. She was wondering what to do with the embroidered shoes.

The three of us were silent for a while, and Dora took the embroidered shoes from the sailors and said, "It's easy! Take it and burn it! The village rules are like this, no way, we will soon be adults! ”

"Shuishui, don't be embarrassed, don't be depressed for this pair of embroidered shoes." Chen Sally gently patted her on the shoulder.

"That's right! Shuishui, let's go and burn the embroidered shoes together, it's just class, and the students on duty take the fallen leaves to burn, don't we just throw the shoes in? I agreed.

"But-" Chen Shuishui hesitated for a while: "A little reluctant." ”

"It's okay! Let's go! ”

The four of us went to the pool where the fallen leaves were burned. Then I watched the embroidered shoes thrown into the pool and burned.

But we never expected it to happen after school, and when we were going to Ajisen to eat ramen together, it turned out that the two of you were waiting for me and Dora at the school gate.

When I went to the bathroom, I saw Dora walking to the edge of the pool where the leaves were burning, turning over and over.

I rushed up and called out to her, "What is Dora looking for?" In a panic, she dropped an embroidered shoe.

"Dora, isn't this the shoe we burned just now?" I asked her curiously. Why did you turn your shoes out?

Dora's expression was very alarmed, as if she were afraid that I would know the truth, and she squeaked, "Thisβ€”I embroidered these shoes myself." ”

"Oh! It turned out that you embroidered it, show me what it looks like. When I bent down to pick up the embroidered shoes, Dora exclaimed, "The blue sky is looking for you!" ”

I turned my head and saw that there was no blue sky behind me at all. By the time I turned around, Dora had already put her shoes in her bag, and no matter how I asked her to take them out and show them, she wouldn't want to.

……

Zhu Manru's voice stopped abruptly, and Chen Shali's cold voice sounded: "We saw the shoes burned with our own eyes." Do you want to say that the embroidered shoes were not burned, and Dora picked them up. In one day's time, do you think the embroidered shoes will still be intact? Her eyebrows were locked together, and she wanted to say something. Why did she say that, she said whatever she wanted, don't beat around the bush here.

Zhu Manru sighed and took a deep breath: "The leaves are still wet, so they can't burn at all." The embroidered shoes fell in the foliage, so they didn't burn! Otherwise, where did this embroidered shoe that appeared today come from? Her tone grew deeper and deeper, eager to make one thing clear.

"Manru, you keep trying to prove that the burned embroidered shoes were picked up by Dora. What is Dora's purpose in picking up shoes? Why did you wait for Dora to say it after the accident, why didn't you say it when you were at the Silverberry Hotel. Didn't we all think it was strange at the time? Why did the burnt embroidered shoes appear here? Why don't you just point out that Dora picked it up? Why are you so scary now? Chen Shali accused, Manru wanted to reveal some information to her.

Zhu Manru's expression was a little anxious: "Oops! Sally, why don't you understand, remember the graduation ceremony? There is not an unwritten rule in our school that students are not allowed to wear red shoes. But after we finished the stage play, the graduation ceremony began. Shui Shui's shoes were hidden, didn't she go to the shoe closet to get outdoor shoes to wear? It turned out that she was wearing a pair of red embroidered shoes on her feet. Do you see what I mean? She is a face-loving person. So ......"

"Enough, I don't want to hear it anymore!" Chen Shali interrupted Manru's words, "I don't believe that Shui Shui will come back to take revenge on us because of those embroidered shoes." Her expression was a little annoyed. It is simply impossible to be the fact, Shui Shui is absolutely impossible to be this kind of person, she vouches with personality.

Zhu Manru smiled mysteriously: "What about revenge?" Why did she ask us out to the cafΓ© from the beginning, and then she asked us to go to school, and it ended up being dead. Then she appeared in front of me, leaving embroidered shoes. Then Dora is killed, and Dora is holding Shuishui's embroidered shoes in her hand. Everything is illustrating one thing, that is, she has been missing for seven years, and she has returned, but she does not dare to come back to see us openly, but to take revenge. Everything she said was true, and Chen Shuishui came back to seek revenge from them. If it's revenge, what will she do?

Chen Shali gritted her teeth and said, "If it's revenge, the first person she looks for is you, not Dora." Also, why should Shuishui take revenge on us? "We are good friends, why do you say such things at this juncture? Shui Shui is not the kind of person who holds grudges.

Zhu Manru glanced at her schemingly, the corners of his mouth rose up and smiled coldly: "Sally, what you said is wrong!" I've never hurt Shuishui, you said that the first person she looked for was me, what was the reason? If it's Ju Lao, I'm very happy, if it's for some other reason, I don't understand, can you explain it to me? ”

Chen Shali looked at her with a hint of weirdness in her eyes, and said lightly: "If you haven't done anything to hurt her, why are you afraid of Shuishui?" Whenever the name of Shui Shui is mentioned, your body instinctively trembles, and you still remember that day? ”

Her words did make Zhu Manru's heart tremble, but she showed great calmness and said: "I don't remember anymore, it's a distant memory, I can't remember it." ”

"You don't remember those words, the same reason, those little jokes, Shui Shui also doesn't remember, we are all good friends, and the relationship is very deep. Do you think she's going to do something to hurt Dora? You've gone too far, you've become rambling. Chen Shali shook her head and couldn't help but sigh softly.

She glanced at Sally meaningfully, and was not too disappointed, just nodded, and then smiled, "Sally, it is difficult to draw people and bones, and you don't know people and faces. You've always believed in Shuishui, but why wouldn't she want to see us? But keep pretending to be a ghost? What are her intentions? I believe that time can change one person, including you and me. ”

"Alright! I don't want to talk to you about this anymore. In fact, I've been suspecting that Shui Shui is not unwilling to come out to meet me. But she must have something to worry about. You can be careful, you are stealing the blue sky, her most important person. Chen Shali suddenly said this, and her eyes suddenly became cold when she looked at Manru.

That kind of look stung Zhu Manru's eyes, and she took a step back in horror: "Aren't you afraid in your heart?" Are you afraid that when she comes back to see you, you will meet her in the mood? ”

Chen Sally did not answer her question, but looked at Andora in the hospital room seriously. I thought to myself, "Dora, you have to wake up quickly, I want to know what happened to you?" You must wake up and return Shui Shui to a clean slate, Shui Shui is innocent.

A shuffled sound of footsteps came from behind the hallway.

The two turned their heads in unison, but saw that Cheng Nuopho had already stood in the corridor of the hospital at some point, Cheng Nuopho walked over to them with a panicked face and asked, "Dora, is she ...... What happened? ”

Chen Shali and Zhu Man lowered their heads in unison and were silent. The two of them glanced at each other weakly, as if nothing had happened to them just now.

Cheng Nuofu felt that the atmosphere had become very heavy, and he walked in front of them: "What's the matter, your face is so pale?" ”

"Noβ€”we were talking about Dora's husband just now! I just feel that Dora is pitiful! Manru subtly shifted the subject.

He glanced at them and smiled, "Oh, I see. ”

"That's right! Dora never told us about her family, and her husband was so hateful. Sally pouted, feeling unworthy for Dora.

Cheng Nuofu shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said worriedly, "What's wrong with Dora?" ”

"She's out of danger, but she's still unconscious." Chen Shali turned her head to look at Dora's pale face in the ward, and her heart suddenly ached...... It hurts......
