Chapter 7: The Death of a Maniac
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the sky was completely dark, our family of three said goodbye to Lei Yuhao, carrying the small lantern sent by Fugui, walked out of the Lei family's mansion, out of the gate, I inadvertently looked back, only to see Lei Yuhao standing by the door with his hands behind his back, looking at me with a strange expression of complacency, looking at each other, he quickly smiled slightly, turned around and went in.
I was shocked when I looked at it, what did he mean? Is it possible to look down on me, a door-to-door son-in-law? But then again, I have no memory of my parents and everything in my childhood, I searched my stomach and thought as I walked, but the more I thought about it, the more my head hurt, and suddenly Haruka pulled down my sleeve and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”
I realized that I had arrived at the door, smiled bitterly and shook my head and said, "Maybe I've been tired lately, and I always feel a headache, just sleep well, it doesn't matter." ”
The three of them went home, boiled water, washed, Haruka coaxed Xiao Yuan to sleep, I sat alone in the courtyard, looking at the stars in the sky, and carefully went through all kinds of questions in my heart, and found that all the things before today have become scattered fragments in my mind, and almost every fragment has the existence of Haruka, if the memory of the past becomes a blank, a blank that starts from a certain point and ends abruptly.
The process of searching for memories gave me a splitting headache, I covered my head, and inadvertently touched a not very big wound on the back of my head, which should be an old wound by virtue of the feel, when did I get an injury on my head? At this time, the headache hit again, heavier and more painful than before, stirring me to see things have a double vision, I temporarily stopped remembering, the headache disappeared immediately, just a cool breeze hit, the whole person was a lot refreshed, simply stood up, went straight to the bathroom next to the toilet.
When I took off my clothes, I was surprised to find that not only my head, but also my chest was scarred. Looks like I'll have to ask Haruka well, she'll remember.
I took a basin of cold water, poured it on my head, and with a shudder, my mind instantly cleared up, while taking a bath, while wiping every scar on my body, I suddenly felt that there was someone behind me, and when I turned around, sure enough, Chunxiang opened a crack in the door at some point, and was peeking at me from the gap.
"You, are you okay?" She asked worriedly.
"It's okay, I've just drunk and sweated, and I'm sticky and unpleasant, so take a shower" I don't want to scare her and make her worry, I can ask about my affairs slowly and remember slowly, but that's my own business, and I can't affect the family.
"Oh, do you need to rub your back?" Her worries were not diminished by my rhetoric.
"Hehe, no, just rush, okay, go to sleep, you open the door and go straight inside, it's cold" I said with a deliberately straight face.
"Oh"
The door slowly closed, and in an instant, I saw through the crack in the door, her eyes were full of complaint, which made me think of Lei Yuhao's lofty and smug eyes, what happened to them? Could it be that what I have done or said before would cause them to have such a contrasting attitude towards me?
This question can be big or small, or you can ignore it, but Lei Yuhao's invincible eyes are like a small fish bone stuck in his throat, although it doesn't affect anything, it is also in his heart, and he is uncomfortable, no, I must find a chance to talk to Chunxiang tomorrow.
I made up my mind, wiped it off, put on my clothes and went back to the bedroom, lay down next to Haruka, Haruka hadn't slept yet, pulled my arm, hugged it tightly, and didn't say a word, I touched her cold little hand, thinking in my heart how to ask so as not to make her suspicious and cause unnecessary worry? Suddenly there was a gust of wind outside, and the wind carried a thick smell of water, so I hurriedly got up, closed the doors and windows of each room, and returned to the bed, where the two of them held hands and fell asleep silently.
The next morning, as the day before, Haruka sent Obuchi to the school early, I got up and pulled my shoes to go to the main hall for breakfast, just walked two steps, and there was a stabbing sound from the soles of my shoes, huh? How can there be mud and sand on the soles of shoes?
I sat in the courtyard and raised my feet to look at the soles of my shoes, sure enough, the soles of my shoes were full of mud and sand, and I looked at the green bricks in the courtyard again, it was indeed a heavy rain last night, but how could there be sand in this green bricks in the courtyard?
Thinking back carefully about everything last night, I can be sure that I definitely didn't step on the sand, and it was still when it was raining, even if I was sleepwalking, the possibility of walking around in the rain without being woken up was almost non-existent, and the only explanation was that Haruka went out in my shoes in the morning, and it was possible that Obuchi was naughty and deliberately ran around in my shoes.
I thought it could only be like this, got up and had breakfast, after a simple wash, I walked to the shop, Chunxiang came one step earlier than me, I had already opened the door, and it was a busy day, and I didn't even have time to say a word to Haruka, until the evening, Xiao Yuan came to the store after school, threw himself into my arms, and noisily asked me to play with him, I promised, the father and son came to the door, I asked him: "What does Xiao Yuan want to play today?" ”
"I'm going to play the game of war. ”
"Okay, how do you fight?" ”
He blinked mysteriously with his little eyes, rushed to his waist and pulled out a small pistol carved from wood, and shouted at me: "Bang, bang", I laughed and pretended to be shot, fell to the ground, he handed me the small pistol and said, "It's time for Abba." ”
I took the gun and said casually: "What a German Mauser box cannon", and said, gesturing an action of pulling the gun to load and open the safe, and suddenly I was stunned, how did I know that this gun is called a box cannon? How could I use it, and I was so skillful that I was even better versed in an abacus.
I looked at the gun, lowered my head and stroked it gently, Xiao Yuan kept urging: "Abba, fight quickly, Abba, hurry!" ”
I squatted on the ground, slowly picked up the gun, aimed at him steadily, and was about to shout: "Smack", the gun was snatched from behind, as soon as I looked up, I saw Chunxiang standing behind me with a flushed face, and shouted angrily Xiao Yuan: "How many times have I told you!" This thing can't be played! ”
Xiao Yuan cried and ran into the store when he heard the wow, I stood up and said embarrassedly, "Look at you, children's toys, are you so atmospheric?" ”
Haruka bit her lip and stared at me fiercely for a moment, then turned around and went back to the store without saying a word, shouting, "Obuchi! Who gave you this shot? ”
Xiao Yuan cried aggrievedly and said, "It's a madman, a madman gave it to me." ”
Haruka nodded, didn't say anything more, I saw that she was really angry, and consciously walked to the back of the big cabinet, pretending to pull the abacus beads, but her heart was full of the wood, Mauser box cannon.
Until the door closed at night, Chunxiang didn't say a word to me, the family of three went home quietly, and after cleaning up, I lay on the bed, Chunxiang still hugged my shoulder, and said softly: "Xiaofeng, you promise me that you are not allowed to leave me." ”
I didn't know why she said this, but I smiled and said, "Look at you, the child is just playing with a toy, and as for that, besides, where can I go?" The town is so big, where can you find it? ”
When she heard this, instead of being happy, she sighed, turned her back to me, said no more, and after a while heard her whisper, "If only you weren't surnamed Lei." ”
Her voice was too small, and I was about to fall asleep in a groggy state, so I didn't hear it very really, so I hurriedly turned over and asked her, "What did you say?" What's good? ”
"It's okay, let's sleep"
I carefully recalled what she said, as if there was a thunder or something, could she be talking about herself? The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it didn't look like it, and I couldn't figure it out, so I simply turned around and slowly fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept, a big white ball appeared in my dream, this ball fluttered in front of me, but I couldn't grasp it, and there seemed to be ten thousand thin lines on this ball, holding me, step by step, not far away and not close to slowly follow forward.
I didn't know how long I walked, and suddenly the ball didn't move, and I stood still, just standing and looking at the white ball above my head, and there was a burst of talking in my ears, at first it was a small and broken sound, and finally it increased suddenly, I opened my eyes violently, and tried to turn over, but I found that I was actually standing.
A dark figure in front of me, all with their backs to me, staring straight ahead, not far in front of me, Lei Yuhao was carrying a long white pole, and the white ball lantern was hung on the white pole, I looked to the side, Chunxiang next to him was looking straight forward with a blank face, stepping on a piece of sandy land under his feet, looking around, all the black pressed crowd, including lotus and Brother Cui, as well as Mr. Li and Sister Mei.
Everyone's eyes and expressions are the same, all of them are looking at Lei Yuhao in front of them in a demented manner, and there are two strong men standing next to Lei Yuhao, who look a little familiar, they should have seen it in the town, two strong men pressing a ragged person, a madman?
The madman drooped his head, as if he had suffered some flesh and skin.
How did I end up here? What is this place? Looks like I'm still in town, but I've never been here, and what are they doing with crazy people? Is all this a dream or a reality?
I secretly pinched my thigh, and a heart-piercing pain came from above, since it wasn't a dream, how did I get here? I remember that after talking to Haruka, I fell asleep in my bed, besides, what is the situation of a madman?
At this time, Lei Yuhao suddenly raised his hand, holding a small wooden gun on it, this, isn't this the one that Xiao Yuan played today? Is it because of this? It's too much fuss, I just wanted to step forward and reason with Lei Yuhao, anyway, it's also Xiaoyuan's toy, and it started from Xiaoyuan, and I'm a father who has no reason to watch people give away toys and be treated like this.
I was just about to open my mouth, the sleeve of my shirt was suddenly pulled, I looked down, it turned out to be Haruka, she was still staring straight ahead, but she shook her fingers lightly underneath, to see that it meant that she didn't want me to make a sound.
I said in my heart, I put her hand away, and just about to open my mouth, I heard Lei Yuhao say: "The country has national laws, and the family has family rules, Qi Xuanzhu actually wants to ruin my plan and destroy my whole town, today I want to seek justice for the whole town, come, smash his heavenly spirit cover, let his soul be destroyed." ”
As soon as I heard it, I was anxious, a toy would kill someone, is this still reasonable, I was so anxious to go forward, I saw the madman suddenly raised his head, stared at me with red eyes, and shook his head at me gently.
It wasn't just his determined gaze that scared me off, but also the unusually familiar look, and I was sure at a glance that this man must have known him, and it wasn't an ordinary friendship.
At this time, the madman shouted loudly: "You fuck, my lord is Qi Jiguang's descendant, wow, today he actually died in the hands of your gang of pickled goods, and when Lao Tzu got to the bottom, he found the brothers and bulldozed this broken town." ”
Lei Yuhao shouted: "Do it!" ”
I only heard the madman laugh for a while, and sang loudly: "Men have ambitions, fight on the battlefield, kill all the widows, protect their hometown, the Qi family is mighty, all are loyal, invincible, and shake all directions."
I was in a hurry to get over, but Haruka clung to my sleeve and wouldn't let go.
At the moment when we were pulling, a strong man with a large oil press hammer smashed into the madman's head, only to hear a pop, as if the hammer had broken a watermelon, and suddenly the brain splattered, a mist of blood rose, and the dead body fell to the ground.
Lei Yuhao threw the toy gun in his hand on the body of the madman, pointed forward with his hand, and people spontaneously dodged a passage, he held a white pole in his hand, walked through it, and walked towards the outside of the town with everyone step by step, and everyone returned home along the way.
My mind was blank and I followed behind Chunxiang, entered the small courtyard, and plugged in the door with my hand, I just opened my mouth and said: "You".
She put a finger on my mouth and pulled me straight to the main hall, closed the door, no lights, the two of them sat at the table, she sighed and said, "What should come will always come." ”
