Aunt Liu always seemed to have something to say to me, but in the end she looked at me with a sad look in her eyes and went to work. I sat distraught in the living room on the first floor, waiting for a long time and no one returned. There were a few magazines on the coffee table next to it, and I took a copy of "Knowing the World", which was full of several famous companies in the city. I flipped a few pages and looked at last year's year-end rankings, Su Haoyang's Su Group, and Zhi Hi-Tech ranked second and third respectively, and the first place was Sun-Shine, an international company specializing in jewelry design. The valuable jewelry displayed in the magazine is all finely made and uniquely designed, and I am really dazzled by it. There is also a photo of Gao Yun, the chairman of Sun-Shine, who is in his 50s, both capable and kind. I once secretly researched that company in class with Shuangshuang, and Shuangshuang's dream was to work there as a translator after graduation.

"Mr. Lin, why don't you go upstairs and rest?" After a long time, Aunt Liu finally opened her mouth to suggest.

"No, I have something to do in a while......" I looked at my watch, it was already past nine o'clock, "a friend of mine is hospitalized, and I want to take care of him." ”

Aunt Liu was obviously stunned for a moment, "Huh? Still leaving? ”

I nodded. She looked strange and had been hanging around me since just now. Still not suppressing my curiosity, I asked, "Do you have something to say?" ”

She didn't answer, and I knew she might be worried, so I said, "It's okay, you tell me, I won't say it." ”

Aunt Liu said: "Classmate Lin, in fact, since that night, Mr. Xie has not laughed at home and has not said anything. ”

"When does he like to laugh on weekdays?"

"Actually, Mr. Xie is really good to you." Aunt Liu said emotionally, like a loving mother who can't see her son being wronged, "I know these words are not what I should say, but I really can't stand it." I probably heard a little bit of the argument you had in the room that day. Mr. Xie has never done anything like that, and he has been asking someone to ask you what happened at school these days. Do you know? That night, I went to Mr. Xie's room to deliver pajamas, and saw him sitting on the ground alone, as if he had lost his soul! What you said that night may have really gone a little too far. ”

Her words surprised me, and I looked at her indignant face with a faint sense of guilt, "but he didn't say anything at the time...... How do I know what he thinks? "I defended myself, in fact, I really don't blame me, he said that day that no one can stand it!

"There's another thing I want to tell you, the guy surnamed Jin has often come to harass me these days, and I have probably listened to a few words on the side, as if Mr. Xie had given him some business before, and now something is wrong......" She also seemed to be half-understood, and added intermittently: "As for why I didn't hear it clearly, Mr. Xie never did this when he talked about business on weekdays, but he flipped the table on the spot that day!" ”

"I don't know much about his business, and I don't have much interest." My tone was light.

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of the engine outside the door, it should be that they were back, Aunt Liu hurriedly closed her mouth and ran to open the door in a panic. Just after Aunt Liu opened the door—to be exact, someone should have kicked it open with a lot of force.

I was stunned by the scene in front of me, only to see Xie Chen's face bruised, the blood on his forehead flowing all the way to the collar of his clothes like a long winding dragon, and a blood scar like a centipede on his shoulder.

I don't know what they're doing, they're not engaged in some underworld profession, how can they be so scary? Xiao De was also full of colors, and his legs were limping, but he looked much stronger than Xie Chen.

Sister Xu staggered into the door with Xie Chen in her arms, "Quickly take the medicine box and prepare hot water!" Then she noticed me standing stupidly, and a hint of resentment flashed across her face. Before I could react to Sister Xu's expression on me, I saw Xiao De holding a black and shiny thing in his hand.

It turned out to be a Soviet-made pistol, which I had seen on TV!

I reflexively covered my mouth and let out a soft exclamation, and Xiao De hurriedly hid the pistol. The air was immediately filled with the smell of blood, and the woolen carpet was stained with a large stain of blood. I've only seen this on TV, but it's the first time in real life.

"What are you standing here in a daze?" Sister Xu finally couldn't bear it anymore and yelled at me.

"Oh." I came back to my senses and stumbled to the kitchen to pour hot water. But my hands were shaking so hard that the thermos slipped out of my hands, splashing hot water all over the floor.

"Lin Xing! What are you doing? Is this home messed up enough by you? Sister Xu shouted behind me.

I kept apologizing, it was the first time for me that Sister Xu was so fierce, grievances and fear hit together, and my tears flowed down. I shouldn't have cried at this time, Sister Xu was angry again, and was about to speak when she was stopped by Xie Chen, "Okay, she's still a child." Don't scare her. ”

He said these words with difficulty, and as soon as he opened his mouth, blood flowed down his cheeks and into the corners of his mouth. My tears flowed even more, and he waved at me and motioned for me to come over.

I didn't dare get too close to him, standing a meter away looking at his almost deformed face. He said, "Aren't you scared?" ”

I nodded.

"I've said before that you don't need to worry about my affairs, so you can pretend you didn't see whatever happens." He spoke slowly, I don't know what he was trying to say, and after a while he said, "So you can go." ”

"I'm not leaving!" I didn't know where I got the strength, so I stubbornly shouted.

"Go back to sleep!" He shouted at me and coughed violently. Sister Xu panicked again and took out a large handful of facial tissues to wipe the blood on his body.

At this time, Aunt Liu ran downstairs in a panic, "Oh my God! There is no duct tape at home, and there is no painkiller! ”

Aunt Liu's words quickly reminded me that since my suicide attempt, there has never been such a thing in my home. Sister Xu obviously thought of the reason, and couldn't help shouting at me: "Get out!" I said a long time ago, because of you, something will happen to him sooner or later! ”

She poured all her anger out on me, even though I didn't know why, but I understood. I didn't walk away, and even though she scolded me so much, I just stood still. Xie Chen was silent for a long time, and stretched out his blood-stained hand to hold me.

His blood was still warm, sticky to my palm. I felt goosebumps all over my body, and he said to me, "You said that I would be punished that time, and lo and behold, is the retribution coming?" ”

I said, "I'm sorry. ”

He closed his eyes and looked away, "You go upstairs to sleep first, go quickly." ”

He didn't seem to want to see me, and honestly, I was scared to stay here any longer, so I quickly ran upstairs and locked my door. Sister Xu knows how to bandage, Xie Chen didn't go to the hospital that night, and all the wounds were cleaned by Sister Xu. I stayed in my room and could hear him screaming in pain downstairs. The kind of pain that is caused by the lack of painkillers and disinfectants must be heart-piercing.
