Chapter Thirty-Eight: Death on the Edge

Bian Bian died, poisoned. It's not enough for a full decade.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, it lay down downstairs at Huo Jingyu's house and died suddenly.

The two blazing black eyes opened so hideously, staying at the frightened look at the last moment.

Because of the Chinese New Year, Lin Zhinan's brothers and sisters were going back to their old house, so he entrusted a large and a small dog to Huo Jingyu to take care of for a few days, but he didn't expect something to happen like this.

In the surveillance footage of the street, the prisoner took advantage of the minutes after Huo Jingyu entered the convenience store to ride an electric car and shoot poisoned arrows at the edge of the squatting outside. No one could have predicted this.

The police caught the habitual murderer of the family pet in the community and was eventually sentenced to three years in prison for the crime of distributing dangerous substances.

The two hadn't seen each other for a while, and when Huo Jingyu returned the edge of the cremation to ashes to Lin Weihe, he saw her elation turn into stiff despair in an instant, as if a thorn pierced his back. He couldn't forget the pair of dead eyes at the moment. Guilt, deep guilt and powerlessness churned inside him, and it was hard to quell.

Lin Weihe refused to see anyone, refused to eat, and shrunk on the bed from morning to night, holding the urn tightly in his arms, his eyes dry and red. She sleeps when she is sleepy, and she is in a daze when she wakes up, and no one can do anything about her.

Huo Jingyu stood at the door of the room, holding the hot meal in his hand, he took a deep breath and strode in, replacing the hot lunch.

He squatted down and said to Lin Weihe in a soft tone, "Shall we eat?" ”

Lin Weihe's eyes were not focused, and his sloppy expression was silent.

"I made fried dumplings, your favorite shrimp filling, can you eat one?"

Receiving no response, he continued: "Or do you want to eat something else?" You tell me, I'll do it. ”

Lin Weihe was still in a state of emptiness, like an empty, lifeless doll.

"Then drink some water." Huo Jingyu took a straw and put it in the water cup, and handed it to her mouth, "Can you take a sip?" Your lips are dry. ”

Seeing that Lin Weihe was unmoved, he was discouraged and found a cotton swab in the room, dipped some water in it and gently moistened her dry lips.

Walking out of the room with a tray, he met Lin Zhinan, who had just come out of the room after work.

Because of this incident, Lin Zhinan moved the office to his home, always paying attention to Lin Weihe's movements.

Lin Zhinan looked at the untouched food on the tray and patted him on the shoulder to try to comfort, "You don't have to feel so guilty. ”

"What am I going to do?" Huo Jingyu was extremely frustrated, his mind swelled, and the discomfort in his heart spread to his stomach.

Lin Zhinan sighed helplessly, "Just give her more time and get through it." ”

"I ......" Huo Jingyu gritted his teeth, and his hand holding the tray burst with green tendons.

He knew the meaning of the side to Lin Weihe, but he didn't protect her last bit of innocence, which made her live the most painful and devastating year. He couldn't forgive himself, not for the rest of his life.

Lin Zhinan pulled him aside in an attempt to calm him down, "Listen! Bian Bian's death is none of your business, it's not your fault, it's also my fault to blame, I brought Bian Bian to you, this tragedy was prompted by me, and it has nothing to do with you! ”

"How does it not matter? I took it out, I wanted to go to the convenience store, I chained it out so that it couldn't escape when it was in danger! It's me!! The moment Huo Jingyu lowered his head, his heart seemed to be strangled by an iron chain, making him breathless.

Lin Zhinan anxiously snatched the tray from his hand and put it aside, grabbed his shoulder and said, "If it has nothing to do with you, it has nothing to do with it!" It's the criminal, and no one can prevent the wicked from committing the crime. ”

Huo Jingyu raised his head slightly, looked at him with reddened eyes, and muttered in his mouth: "Sister Liao reminded me, she told me clearly, because of my arrogance, my arrogance, I think I can protect it, I ......" His eyes widened, and his chin touched the cold fabric.

Lin Zhinan hugged him and wrapped his sorrow, self-blame and sorrow tightly into his arms.

"There's nothing wrong with you, no! Don't blame yourself anymore, everything will get better, and Weihe is stronger than we think. ”

Huo Jingyu's chin left his shoulder and gently pushed the hand at his waist.

"I'm sorry." Lin Zhinan took a step back.

"I'm going back."

"You stay! I...... Micro Lotus needs you. ”

Huo Jingyu glanced at him, "No." ”

Even if he was refused, Lin Zhinan insisted on sending him to the main road.

The boy held the cake in his hand, his face was full of happiness, and he turned to his sister and smiled: "It's all mine, don't rob it!" With that, he hurried upstairs.

The little girl chased after her, "This is what Mommy bought for us, you can't hide it!" She stepped up the first flight of stairs, and there was a roar outside the house, and the scorching sun of a second ago flashed away, and lightning flashed and thundered.

The little girl was so frightened that she retracted her feet and looked out of the window in horror, and hurriedly said to the boy, "Don't run away!" ”

In an instant, the staircase collapsed violently, swallowing the boy's response.

"Brother!! The little girl watched in panic as the rift grew longer and wider, gradually closing in on her.

She ran to the gate and pulled the handle, but it didn't move.

With a "bang", the crystal chandelier fell, completely scaring the little girl, she ran to the kitchen crying, tripped over the obstacle and fell to the ground, and the lamp slag pierced into her palm.

She climbed onto the stove in pain, and through the glass window, she found a woman trimming the branches and leaves in the garden with a peaceful face, "Mommy!! Mom!! She screamed and banged on the window in an attempt to get attention.

The woman finally looked over, but unfortunately there was no human figure, only bloody handprints left on the window.

A sudden invisible force wrapped around the little girl's legs and dragged her towards the hole, unable to break free no matter how much she kicked it.

She fell into a heart-rending helplessness, constantly scraping the ground with her hands, her fingers picking at the gaps in the wooden floor, and the nails were torn off, leaving a long blood stain.

The lower half of the little girl's body had been dragged into the hole, and she cried out in despair: "Help me, help me!" ”

The wind swept up black clouds and broke through the door, shards of crystals on the ground slashed at her, and then fell into darkness.

Save me!!!

Lin Weihe opened his eyes suddenly, his chest rose and fell violently, and the familiar scent of fragrance soothed his breathing.

"You're awake!"

A familiar voice rang in her ears.

Lin Weihe turned his head to see Bai Yu'an's anxious face.

Bai Yu'an took a tissue to help her wipe the cold sweat from the corner of her forehead, "Have a nightmare?" ”

"Why are you here?" The reason why he didn't speak for a long time, Lin Weihe's voice became rough and low.

"Don't move, you're stuck with a needle!" Bai Yu'an suppressed her shaking hand.

Lin Weihe sat up and stared at the infusion tube on the back of his hand, "Why?" ”

"Don't you know if you've fainted?" Bai Yu'an forced her to lie down, and his tone was full of reproach.

"Why?"

"Why?! You still ask why, if you don't eat or drink for a few days, can you not get dizzy?! ”

Lin Weihe stared at the ceiling, "Don't you have to take the exam?" ”

"I've already finished the exam, but I don't feel very good, and I don't feel like the school is playing until the sketch is finished."

The corners of Lin Weihe's mouth curved, "Which school do you want to go to?" ”

"Which one is closest to the test."

Lin Weihe looked at him sideways, "It's not promising, if it were me, I would have passed the test far away." ”

"You? Forget it. Bai Yu'an looked skeptical, he said: "You can't stay abroad for even half a year, and you still want to stay in a distant place for four years?" ”

"It's different, I can't stay because of the big difference in ideology and culture, and I don't understand the language, so it is difficult to live."

"Then do you have any places you want to go, I'll pass the exam first, well, no, I am about to graduate before you can come, and you are so fickle, if you don't want to go one day, then I won't lose."

While he was worried about his future, Lin Weihe pulled the needle and got out of bed.

"What are you doing?!" Bai Yu'an was startled and quickly stopped the gushing needle water. He grabbed her arm and stopped her from going out.

"You let go."

"Don't let go! Your brother asked me to watch you, and I will follow you wherever you go. Bai Yuan said resolutely.

"Yes, but can you get rid of my blood?" Lin Weihe impatiently raised his hand to show him, and the blood beads at the needle piercing were rolling out.

"Wait, don't go!" Bai Yu'an hurriedly ran outside to find someone to stop the bleeding for her, but she didn't notice that there was a medicine box next to the bedside.

"Silly cute." Lin Weihe casually put a band-aid on the pinhole, took his coat and wallet and walked out of the backyard door.

Bai Yu'an ran in with a few cotton swabs, "You use the cotton swabs to press the ......" He looked at the empty room and exploded on the spot: "Lin Weihe!" ”

The night in the mountains is quiet, and the sound of insects mixed with the wind echoes in the valley.

Huo Jingyu opened his eyes, a beam of strong light pierced his eyes, and he subconsciously raised his hand to block the light.

"Open your eyes, open your eyes!" It's a hurried young female voice.

Huo Jingyu propped himself up unhappily, looking for the owner of this babbling road.

"Don't shine a flashlight on people, it's rude!" This time it's a male voice.

The beam of light finally moved away, and Huo Jingyu slowed his eyes and saw the young man and woman in front of him clearly.

"Uh, are you alright?" The girl asked worriedly.

Huo Jingyu glanced at the sky, the sun had not yet come out, and in a blink of an eye, he looked at the two people wearing mountaineering clothes, one tall and one short.

The girl looked at him with concern: "How do you sleep in such a place?" Did you encounter any difficulties? ”

Another tall boy wanted to help him up, but Huo Jingyu stood up by himself, and he glanced at the two of them, "I'm fine." ”

The two of them confirmed each other's eyes and hurried to catch up with Huo Jingyu.

Hearing the rustle of feet stepping on the dirt behind him, Huo Jingyu looked back and saw that the two people were following him closely, and he didn't pay attention to it and walked straight down the mountain.

As the sky grew brighter, the road in front of him became clearer and clearer, and Huo Jingyu's pace became faster.

When he reached the fork in the mountain, Huo Jingyu climbed up the staircase road made of huge stones at the left entrance, and disappeared into the woods after a while.

The physical strength of the young men and women had already consumed a lot, and they couldn't keep up with Huo Jingyu's speed, so they stood stupidly at the fork and didn't know what to do.

The girl looked at the two familiar dead trees in frustration, "Brother, we're back here again." ”

The boy raised his arm to wipe the sweat off her face, "Why don't we go again?" There is a trail that has not been tried before, it should be an exit. ”

The girl sat down on the spot and lost her temper, "You said the same before, it's been so long, I can't walk, my feet hurt." She took off her shoes, and the socks at the heels were worn out, and the blood was dried on the cotton socks.

The boy sighed and squatted down, "I'll carry you." ”

The girl immediately smiled, immediately put on her shoes and tied up her loose hair, lay on his back, hugged his neck and said, "Whose brother is so handsome?" ”

As they were about to walk to the right lane, they were startled by a "hey".

They looked for prestige, only to see Huo Jingyu standing on a high place with a flashlight and looking down at them.

Even though his call was not very friendly, at this moment, in the eyes of the brothers and sisters in distress, he was as radiant as the Buddha in the darkness.

"Come up." Huo Jingyu ordered.

The girl consciously landed on her feet and crawled to the place where he was following Huo Jingyu's instructions. Don't forget to pay attention to the person who is following her, "Brother, be careful." ”

"You're holding on to the tree." The boy said uneasily.

The girl stepped on the stones and climbed up step by step, and finally stepped on the fairly flat land, and was pleasantly surprised to find the mineral water on the stones.

She suddenly felt her mouth dry and cautiously asked, "Can you give us some water?" ”

With Huo Jingyu's permission, she looked back at her brother. Seeing that he nodded in agreement, she immediately gulped down.

The sky was already bright, and the boy came to Huo Jingyu's side, the appearance he hadn't seen before gradually became clear, and he roughly saw his outline, and he said, "Thank you for your help." ”

Huo Jingyu looked at him, looked away and said: "Follow this stone road all the way to the temple, and the fork on the right will take you to the Mid-Levels Hotel for an hour, and there will be a car for you to go down the mountain." ”

The boy took his words to heart and thanked him again.

"Don't follow me anymore. Remember to take away the garbage. After speaking, Huo Jingyu walked on another path, and before he had taken a few steps, he suddenly stopped and held the tree pole, he covered his upper abdomen, and his eyebrows were furrowed.

The two siblings glanced at each other and stepped forward to check.

"Big brother, what's wrong with you?" The girl walked around to him and asked worriedly.

The boy found that Huo Jingyu's face was very ugly, and his lips were a little pale.

"Nothing." Huo Jingyu took two steps forward, his abdomen cramped unbearably, as if something was pouring into his throat, and a rusty smell of fishy sweetness vomited out.

The faces of the two changed drastically, and they hurriedly helped him.

"Sir, I'll take you down the mountain! Yingying, you're holding on to the back. The boy said and put Huo Jingyu's hand on his shoulder, and walked up the mountain with his waist around him.

The girl who was called followed by Yingying, carefully supporting them.

"Sir, do you have a cell phone? I called an ambulance. ”

Poof-

Huo Jingyu spurted out a mouthful of brown blood, his legs were weak, his face was distorted, and then he lost consciousness.
