Chapter 179: Entrustment
Zhang Yuxuan drove the car to his own house instead of the orphanage, because only his own home was equipped with a private doctor, and the strength of the other party's arm was more serious, although emergency measures had been taken to stop the bleeding, but the bleeding was not fundamentally stopped, and after a long time, the blood still seeped through his shirt.
"It's okay, the doctor is already on the way, I'll be there soon, hold on a little longer." Zhang Yuxuan stopped the car and looked at Sun Tao with some concern, although the latter had been silent all the way, he knew that the other party had been holding on, which could be seen from the fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
"It's okay, take care of Xiaoxue first." Sun Tao waved his hand, but a short sentence made him gasp for breath several times, and he couldn't hold it anymore.
Zhang Yuxuan nodded, and then took Li Xue out of the back seat and walked into the house. Sun Tao leaned back on the car seat and gasped heavily, turned his head to look at the white shirt tied to his right arm that had been half stained red with blood, cursed in his heart, and then opened the car door.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his front foot stepped on the ground, there was a huge feeling of prostration, Sun Tao's vision began to blur little by little, his heavy eyes could no longer be dragged on, he hung down weakly, and his consciousness sank into darkness with his vision.
When he woke up again, he was already lying on a high-end mahogany sofa, Zhang Yuxuan was sitting opposite him smoking a cigarette, and the wound on his right hand had been properly treated, wrapped in a thick bandage, and there was a huge smell of potion on his body.
"Awake?" Zhang Yuxuan saw the other party slowly sit up, so he put out the cigarette and poured a glass of boiling water and sent it to the other party.
"Where's Xiaoxue?" Sun Tao glanced at the other party, took the boiling water, took a sip and asked.
"I fell asleep in it, the doctor checked it, and it's fine." Zhang Yuxuan stretched his head in the direction of the door behind him and gestured.
Sun Tao nodded, his nerves relaxed a little when he was tensed just now, there was no much pain on his arm, and he could move a little, he glanced at the other party, and then said lightly, "Thank you." ”
Zhang Yuxuan raised his eyebrows, and said with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth: "You know I'm not here to listen to this."
Sun Tao also hooked the corners of his mouth, he wouldn't fail to hear this off-string sound, he raised his head and looked at the other party, the latter also looked at him, after thinking for a moment, Sun Tao said softly: "You're right, she's not my own sister, she's just an innocent little girl, I made her look like this."
Sun Tao slowed down his speech very slowly, and there was a deep emotion in his words, his eyes seemed to fall into dust, casting a shadow, and a long sigh at the end contained infinite remorse and self-blame.
"Have you ever contacted her family over the years?" Zhang Yuxuan didn't show any emotion, but handed the other party a cigarette and asked.
Sun Tao shook his head, lit a cigarette and took a puff, and said, "Her parents are divorced, and she has an older brother, and the court awarded her to her mother, and her brother to her father." But then her mother did not continue to raise her, but went abroad to find another man to start a new life, while his brother did not accept the support and came back to take care of her, and the livelihood of the two has been the meager salary he earned from going out to work, but later ......"
When Sun Tao said this, his tone paused, Zhang Yuxuan understood the meaning in his heart from the other party's expression, and lightly picked up the latter's words, "It's just that your appearance disrupted their peaceful life later, and then the girl's brother also disappeared, right?" ”
Sun Tao smiled bitterly and took another puff of cigarette, he was not only busy doing things for K all these years, but he did not forget to help her find her brother in private, he had made her world lose its light, he couldn't let her be so lonely anymore, since her brother was willing to go back to take care of her at that time, he must have loved her very much, and he must have not given up looking for his sister's whereabouts now.
"It's rare to think that someone like you would be sympathetic." Zhang Yuxuan's tone became brisk, his hands were pillowed behind his head and leaned on the sofa, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.
Sun Tao heard a little sarcasm, but he didn't respond, he had also asked himself before, no one would believe that Liu Tao, who was ranked first in the killer world and called "executioner", would suddenly withdraw from the rivers and lakes and secretly raise a girl he didn't know, the reason was actually because of sympathy, which felt ridiculous when he thought about it.
Just like when the bad old man picked himself up in the corpse, a legendary mercenary made a claim in the operation to stay alive and was hunted down, and since then he has run with himself to the ends of the earth, also because of that ridiculous sympathy.
Speaking of that bad old man, he remembered the days when he stayed in the deep mountains and forests all the year round, and was forced by him to train all kinds of "self-defense techniques" all day long, at that time he didn't know why he had to practice this since he was a child, and he didn't know why the other party always patted him on the head happily and said that there was nothing wrong back then.
It wasn't until he was dying that he smiled and told himself that he had been a particularly powerful killer, and told him that he was the enemy of his father, that he had destroyed his family and brought him to torture him to this day, and now he only had to pick up the gun next to him and shoot at him, and he could take revenge and get out of the mountains.
He clearly remembered the gunshot when he picked up the pistol and pressed it to the other party's heart, and pulled the trigger hard, and he also clearly remembered that the other party's lips before he died were repeating the previous sentence, in fact, you are not alone.
That day was the first time he had killed someone, and it was also the first time he had gone out of the mountains.
One day, he stood on the top of a city building and looked down at the gorgeous night view of the city, recalling the place he longed for when he was a child, he only felt ironic, he wiped the blood-stained gun with a handkerchief, and looked at the row of corpses lying in a pool of blood behind him.
The bad old man told him since he was a child that he would have to do a serious job when he went out of the mountain in the future, and he didn't know who would wipe his ass if he really did a serious job.
These people died in the same way, they were all beaten through the lungs, and they died slowly and screaming in pain, and he tortured them in various ways before they died, because they also pierced the lungs of the bad old man and made him miserable, and then he ended his pain by himself.
The first thing he understood was that the account was to collect interest.
"Hey, hey! What do you think? ”
Sun Tao's thoughts were so deep in his memories that Zhang Yuxuan stuck his head in front of him and shouted.
"I give her so little, if you can make her life colorful, and at the same time take good care of her, I want you to take care of her for me." Sun Tao's voice was firm and powerful, and his eyes were serious and serious. Zhang Yuxuan licked his mouth and said equally seriously
"I already think of her as my own sister." Sun Tao pursed his lips, sat up from the sofa, picked up the jacket on the side and put it on, and then walked to the door of the room that Zhang Yuxuan signaled before, pushed open the door and walked slowly to the bed, looking at Li Xue who looked peaceful and sleepy on the bed, his face showed a rare tenderness.
Zhang Yuxuan also followed, but he didn't walk in, but stood at the door and leaned against the wall to look at each other.
Sun Tao squatted down, carefully stroked the broken hair between the other party's ears, and then slowly put his face close to the other party's ear, and said in a very small voice: "Don't worry, in fact, you are not alone. ”
After Sun Tao finished speaking, he stood up, turned around and left, and when he rubbed shoulders with Zhang Yuxuan, his pace paused for a moment.
"I know, don't worry about your business, I'll take care of her." There are some things that can be understood without saying, of course Zhang Yuxuan understands what the other party is worried about, he doesn't know what the actual situation is, at least now he will give the other party a reassuring answer, but after that, he asked again: "Your name." ”
"The name of the deceased, I don't remember it." Sun Tao nodded, lowered the cap and left.
Zhang Yuxuan watched the other party leave, then turned his head and looked at Li Xue on the bed in silence, and he suddenly noticed that the other party's body was trembling slightly.
He slowly moved over, sat down in front of the other's bed, and gently pressed the other's clenched trembling fists.
"Is he gone?" Li Xue's voice suddenly came.
"Hmm." Zhang Yuxuan responded.
"Will he ever come back?" Li Xue tried her best to control her emotions, but her voice still trembled uncontrollably.
Zhang Yuxuan held the other party's palms with both hands and said softly: "Yes, he will definitely come back when he takes care of things, believe me." "Because you are a rare touch of green in his gray world.
Li Xue only felt that her eyes were about to melt with hot tears, so she let it slip down from the corners of her eyes, and her throat couldn't help crying, she suddenly sat up from the bed and hugged the other party's body with the perception of her hand.
Zhang Yuxuan patted the other party's back in understanding, he knew that this strong girl had actually been awake all the time, from the moment Sun Tao just entered to the moment he walked out, she always knew that whether it was tender words or doting caresses, she must be able to feel the warmth that has been absent for many years, this warmth is called family affection.
Although it is not, Zhang Yuxuan does not want to destroy this beauty. It's just that what he doesn't know is that in fact, Li Xue also understands in her heart that the other party will not be her brother, although she has lost her memory, she occasionally has a brother in her mind, and the feeling is wonderful and indescribable, but it is not this person just now.
But she is grateful to him, grateful that she has been silently paying for herself for so many years, and some words can be understood without saying anything. In fact, the person who has been really lonely all these years is himself.
She already regarded him as her own brother in her heart, she really felt this strange warmth, she knew that the other party might not come again, if she could say "stay" at that time, maybe it would be too late to keep the other party, but she couldn't do it, because she knew that the other party had other things to do, and he had done enough for himself.
That day, she seemed to have cried all her tears and strength.
