Without thinking, she returned: "It was a portrait, painted by my brother Xu Junming himself, in memory of our dead children. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

I can't believe it, a portrait? I carefully recalled what I saw at the time, and how could it be so lifelike unless it was a photograph of equal size.

Xu Lingling saw my doubts, and she added: "My brother is studying art, with his painting skills, you don't have to doubt it, and if you go back to the ancient mansion, I can show you that portrait, and you will know." ”.

I nodded slightly: "When I went in for the second time, you took the portrait away and hid it?" ”

"Yes, I was also worried that you would chase after me, so I hid it, and the purpose was to hope that you would leave consciously."

I secretly said, no wonder, I was scared at the time, and I thought it was a living creature that could move, I continued: "At that time, in the kitchen, you were planning to use the wall to attack me, right?" ”

"I didn't kill you, the purpose is to scare you and let you go."

"When I caught up with the second floor, I found a hanged male corpse in the bedroom, although it was dry, but the epidermis was waxed, and it seemed to be relatively well preserved, this corpse was Xu Junming?"

"Well, my brother has been dead for almost a year."

"Did he commit suicide?"

"It's a suicide, yes, but he doesn't deserve to die, it's me who deserves to die! He was very good, but he did not die well, and now I am left alone in this world, and I can't help but look back on the past every day and every night, only to realize that we may all be wrong...... We shouldn't love each other, we shouldn't have children, and we shouldn't come here......" Talking about his brother's death, Xu Lingling cried, and his emotions gradually became more and more excited.

I was worried that her emotions would fluctuate too much, and hurriedly replied: "Xu Lingling, everything has passed, about love, sometimes there is no right or wrong, your brother may not regret it at all, maybe, she just doesn't want to see you like this now, it's not that you change too fast, but you are indulging in inextrication, what you can't let go of is not the past, but regret, if you continue to face it so pessimistically, although your brother is gone, if he sees it, he will definitely not be at ease." ”

Xu Lingling raised his head and said sincerely: "Thank you." ”

At this moment, I found that I could understand their indecent love, love and not love can be chosen, but family affection can not be chosen, they may just be together because of love, but it is family affection that binds them, for them, this is just their choice, right and wrong are difficult to distinguish, who can tell, but tragedy is always tragedy, their ending, people sigh.

Seeing that Xu Lingling calmed down a little, I continued to ask: "In the drawer of the dresser in the bedroom, I also found something with dead characters written with a brush, which was also taken by you, right?" What exactly is written on it? ”

She put her hand into her arms and took out a small book in the black gauze robe, although it was wet, but the outermost was a dark red word "death", the word was very large, and she handed it to me.

When I opened it, there were only a few pages in this small book, and there was only one word on each page, adding up to only four words, "die without regrets".

"This is what my brother left before he committed suicide, I was downstairs that day, and when I went upstairs to find it, my brother was already out of breath, and I didn't even have the strength to lift him off the beam." Xu Lingling couldn't help but sob, although she didn't shed tears in her eyes, her pain was more unbearable than tears raining down.

For no reason, my eyes moistened, although I couldn't understand what this "death without regrets" meant, but suddenly I found that Xu Junming not only had no regrets about his death, but it seemed to have some kind of purpose, not because I was disheartened as I expected at the time.

"Why did your brother commit suicide?"

"For the sake of the children." Xu Lingling spit out a few words from her mouth with difficulty, her state at the moment was as if all her strength had been drained, but she didn't have time to slow down, and she had to face my questions, and these problems were no heavier for her.

The possibility of overturning and resetting the whole incident is getting bigger and bigger, I hope Xu Lingling will insist more, she will definitely be able to.

"For the sake of children? In other words, Xu Junming's suicide was to save the child? Under what circumstances did this happen? I asked anxiously.

"In the process of my pregnancy, in order to avoid the gossip of the outside world, we have not gone to the hospital for examination, until the time of delivery, it was also my brother in the ancient house for me to deliver the baby, the child was born with a serious deformity, when we saw the child with three heads and so many arms, it was both distressed and panicked, the child was already dying after landing, just when we were at a loss, my brother thought of a person."

Hearing Xu Lingling say this, a most suitable candidate appeared in my mind, and asked: "Your brother went to find Wang Changjun, as far as I know, he is a barefoot doctor, although his medical skills are not yet known, but he definitely has more ways than ordinary people, and he is so close to you." ”

"Su Wu, you're half right, but what my brother went to find was not Wang Changjun, but Wang Changjun's old father, Mr. Wang Huanzhi, three years ago, although Wang Huanzhi had tuberculosis, but his legs and feet were still quite dexterous, at least he could get out of bed, and he was the real barefoot doctor, for this old man, his health is getting worse, but his medical skills are absolutely unique, he practiced medicine decades ago in ten miles and eight villages can be regarded as famous, even in a difficult environment to operate on the knife, And Wang Changjun has not inherited his father's mantle, at most he is half-baked, which is not even a beginner in Wang Huanzhi's opinion. Xu Lingling was full of gratitude when she mentioned Wang Huanzhi, and her tone was full of admiration.

"And what's next?" I think that since Wang Huanzhi has been practicing medicine for decades, but he has real skills, I am very curious about how he cured this three-body freak.

"After my brother invited Mr. Wang Huanzhi here, when he saw our child for the first time, he also shook his head, and at this time, the child was out of breath, even the most basic crying, I turned out of bed and my brother immediately knelt down for the old gentleman, hoping that he would help us save this fragile life that had just been born."

"He must have agreed, didn't he?"

Xu Lingling nodded: "Mr. Wang Huanzhi only said one sentence, saying that he was only sixty percent sure, and asked us if we could trust it." My brother and I did not hesitate at all, at that time, we didn't say how many percent we were sure, even if we were hopeful, we also had to try, how could we watch the newborn child die. In the next three months, the old gentleman began to arrange, the two extra small heads on the child's shoulders were removed, and we were burned in a clay pot, saying that it was good for the child, and there was a meaning of giving up two to protect one. ”

I heard that burning the extra head is more or less superstitious, but for parents, it is not a big deal to believe it or not, I said: "So, the removal of the head is considered a success?" How is the child doing? ”
