124. Pure
I moved a step to the side slightly, just saw Gu Xi's face behind the side, as if I saw him smile slightly, "Remember me?" ”
Xie Xiaoqin's tears rolled out, and she sobbed and said, "How can you not remember?" You taught me how to enter this passage, you taught me how to manipulate the sacrificial plate, and I did it all. You said that there would be a woman named Liang Qian in the future, and she could learn the secret of those fragments, and I really waited for her. But I couldn't help you get the secret, do you blame me? ”
"No, it won't." Gu Xi opened his mouth lightly, and asked lightly: "I let you hide the sign on the top, where are you hiding?" ”
My heart skipped a beat, and I don't know how Gu Xi made Xie Xiaoqin misidentify him, and his purpose was obviously to track down the bronze square that had been used to cover it. I'm afraid he's in the same mind as I was before.
But seeing Xie Xiaoqin's eyes, he showed a sleepy look: "Brand? She turned her gaze to the top wall, "What sign?" Brother Yu, I don't understand. ”
At this time, I quietly moved a step again, and I could see Gu Xi's side, only to see his eyes flashing slightly, but said, "Forget it, can I take care of that house?" This time Xie Xiaoqin burst into tears and smiled: "Of course there is, I basically go to clean it every three days, and I will come down here every other week to inspect, but there are not many outsiders who come to the town, and the people in the town are not good at moving often, so fresh blood will be replenished for a long time." She looked very uneasy when she said this, "Brother Yu, is it because I didn't do well that the color here changed from green to black?" ”
Gu Xi didn't reply to her, and looked thoughtful, which made Xie Xiaoqin more and more panicked, and wanted to reach out to grab his hand, but her hand that was inserted into the tube only lifted slightly and fell to the ground weakly. Her eyes showed sadness, and tears flowed down again, choking and said: "Brother Yu, I know that I was wrong, you asked me to help you keep this place for fifteen years, and they destroyed it before the time came, how can I make up for it and tell me?" ”
"Xiaoqin......" As soon as Gu Xi called her name, he saw Xie Xiaoqin's expression change, and he glared at him in shock as if he had woken up from a dream, and shouted: "You are not Brother Yu!" ”
I saw Gu Xi's aura change in an instant, an evil aura appeared in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth also pursed his usual sarcastic smile, "Wrong name?" ”
Xie Xiaoqin's eyes were full of hatred, but as if he had been drained of all his strength, he was already angry when he spoke again: "Brother Yu didn't call me Xiaoqin at all, my name Xie Xiaoqin was also given to fool the old guy." ”
"And what did he call you?"
I thought Xie Xiaoqin wouldn't answer, but I saw her eyes fall on the top wall again, a smile slowly appeared on her face, a trace of sweetness was revealed in her eyes, and her voice was so light that it couldn't be lighter than it could be softer: "He said that he wished me to grow up as light and elegant as a feather, so he named me with his words, Brother Yu, Xiao Yu misses you so much......"
It turned out that her name was Xiao Yu, and it could be seen that she was very attached to that person.
Gu Xi straightened up, walked over and said lightly: "Don't ask again, if I'm not mistaken, your pen pal is the owner of that house." Twelve years ago, she was only a ten-year-old child, and her mind could not have been so deep, and it didn't match the meaning of the picture you could have understood, she was at best a puppet of a manipulated doll. As for Xie Zhiyuan's name, she must have revealed it to your pen pal as well. ”
But didn't she say that the Xie family's father and son were not her relatives? Then how did she know Xie Fu's original name? ”
But I heard Gu Xi ask back: "Who said it wasn't?" I was stunned, "Didn't Xie Xiaoqin say it herself?" He pursed the corners of his lips, and his eyes became particularly quiet and quiet, "When a person's consciousness is controlled, what is true when he speaks?" ”
"What did you say?" I was amazed at the meaning of his words!
He glanced at me, "As you think." ”
I was really stunned, he said that Xie Xiaoqin's consciousness was manipulated, which means ...... She was brainwashed? looked at Xie Xiaoqin, who was lying there motionless with his eyes open, and asked with difficulty: "Why did that person do this?" ”
"Isn't the reason simple? One is that her IQ is too low, if she is not instilled with some necessary information, how can she be used by him? The second is that there are only two kinds of people who are the most loyal and will not betray: one is the dead, and the other is the heartless. If he wants to have absolute control even when he is not here, then there must be such a person to guard this place for him, and this person must not have a different heart. ”
It's hard for me to believe that this person who is full of scheming use of Xie Xiaoqin to do things for him is the pen pal with whom I corresponded twelve years ago, but Gu Xi's inference and judgment are almost not missed. Even when he analyzed it for me, he suspected that this friend might have caused my memory to be missing.
Looking at Xie Xiaoqin again, I suddenly felt that she was very pitiful. Because of the manipulation of consciousness, even if relatives are around, they are only mistaken for outsiders, and they are even more disdainful of their deaths. Just from the demeanor and conversation she mistook Gu Xi for the person named Yu just now, you can see how attached she is to this person, I am afraid that her childhood worship and manipulation have been transformed into infatuation in the past twelve years of withering, but that person has only been using her from beginning to end.
I couldn't help but grab Gu Xi's arm and said pleadingly, "You can find a way to save her." Seeing him shake his head, thinking that he didn't want to save it, he couldn't help but increase the force in his hand, "There are still a lot of things to ask about her, such as the appearance of the person named Yu, and how to give him the secret of the fragment she got from me, maybe she has the contact information of that person." ”
Turning in my mind, I had to find some value on Xie Xiaoqin to impress Gu Xi, but I heard him say categorically: "She can't have a contact method, a person who arranged everything twelve years ago will not leave any traces of herself." The secret handover has its own methods, and since we have been waiting for 12 years, we don't care about waiting for three more years to those fifteen years. Also," he paused, looking at me deeply, "not that I didn't want to save her, but that she was dead. ”
I froze completely, and turned my head to look at Xie Xiaoqin in disbelief, her eyes were still open, and there was not even a trace of pain on her face, but also with yearning and longing. But...... Her chest no longer heaved.
I approached step by step in disbelief, and every step I took felt like I was stepping on the tip of my heart, and I felt like my heartstrings were about to break. Finally walked to the front, squatted down, and slowly stretched out her hand to Xie Xiaoqin's nose, every second in this process I expected her to suddenly attack, death was just an illusion that she wanted to turn the tables.
But when I stopped my hand in front of her nose for two minutes, I didn't feel a trace of breath coming out, and my heart became cold. Compared with Xie Fu's father and son and Lao Xie Tou, I really don't have much hostility towards Xie Xiaoqin, even if she used a mask of hypocrisy against me, even if she set up a game against me.
It is always said that people's hearts are greedy, just like Xie Fu's three people. But Xie Xiaoqin is in such an environment, even if she is doing things in secret, it is not for fame or profit, she is only for a person who lives in her memories.
Perhaps, this is called true purity.
I controlled my hand and slowly moved it up to close her unclosed eyes. I secretly swore in my heart: Xiaoqin, when I see your Yu one day, I will definitely let him come back to see you.
Silently flowed back, and there was no sound in the space except for the sound of liquid rolling on the top. When I straightened up expressionlessly, my hand was warm, I looked sideways at Gu Xi, his face looked a little cold in the dark light, his eyes were dim, he sighed lightly and shook it back, knowing that if I didn't accept it, this man would be angry. He saw that I was indulging in Xie Xiaoqin's corpse for so long, and he must have thought that I was blaming him for being too ruthless just now, but how could I be a good and bad person?
Of course, he had pity for Xie Xiaoqin, but if she had allowed her to insert the tube into Gu Xi's wrist at that time, then he would be lying here now. It is clear which is more important than the other.
After I shook my palm back, Gu Xi pulled me in front of me, lowered his eyes into the depths of my eyes, and said directly: "I don't like you to look at me with the eyes just now, don't do this in the future." ”
...... "Well, this man is so domineering and savage that he even controls my eyes."
Seeing that I was silent, he raised his eyebrows and confirmed again: "Did you hear that?" ”
"Got it." He was really defeated, so he quickly changed the subject: "Why are you so sure that the person named Yu is not in this town?" He didn't answer me immediately, his dark eyes stared at me for a while before he said, "If he's still here, he can keep this place as it is." Since Xie Xiaoqin was given a period of fifteen years, it means that he had already calculated everything before leaving, and this is an unfathomable person. ”
It is really not easy to come out of Gu Xi's mouth with such praise, which also means that this feather is indeed not simple.
If I deduce correctly from the meaning of the painting, this person is about four or five years older than me, then he would have been ten years old twelve years ago, and he would have been able to arrange all this at that time, and I don't know what kind of powerful character he would be now.
In other words, when it comes to Xie Xiaoqin, the clues related to my pen pal who is actually called Yu under the pseudonym Xie Zhiyuan have been broken. All the people in Bryn who knew about the underground siege were dead, and now we were the only ones left.
