Chapter 11: Lies
"Hey."
"I'm Xiao Fan."
"I know." The other party didn't seem to have woken up yet.
Finally, the sleepy voice sounded again. "What's the matter?"
How can the other party act as if nothing has happened?
Obviously, the two friends who were together had just passed away, how could he look like an unrelated person?!
Or maybe it's just that I'm thinking too much, sadness doesn't have to be external, it's not easy to live, how can I be soaked in that mood all day long. Xiao Fan thought.
"Zhou Jie."
“…… What? If you have something to say, say it. The other party was obviously a little impatient, which made Xiao Fan feel extremely surprised, Zhou Jie had never spoken to himself in this tone, since he met.
"What are you doing? Just got out of bed? ”
"Hmm. Yes, just get up. ”
Xiao Fan felt that he was lying, and this remark was clearly perfunctory. However, no matter how Xiao Fan thinks about it, he doesn't know what he's doing, not to mention, what does it have to do with him?
No longer caring about anything else, Xiao Fan simply went straight to the point, and he asked the other party, "Have you known each other since childhood?" ”
"You guys? We? The other party obviously didn't understand what Xiao Fan wanted to ask, and he was completely at a loss.
There was a sound of a desk knocking over, on the other end of the phone.
"You don't matter, do you?" Xiao Fan said with concern.
"Well, I'm fine, what do you say? You're weird today. What the hell is going on with me? ”
"I mean, you probably grew up together, right?"
"What do you ours have? I still have something to do, if you don't say it, I'll hang up the phone. The other party was a little angry, he must have thought that this was Xiao Fan's intention.
Helpless, Xiao Fan had to talk to him clearly, he thought that the other party knew it, it seems that it is not the case at all now, either the other party does not take these things to heart at all, or he really doesn't know why. Judging by the current situation, he probably won't be pretending. If it's playing, it's too good at acting, better than those actors.
"You, Zhou Jie, Rufeng and Ning Yuan, who are no longer there, as well as Long Xiaotian and Xiang Kuo, the five of you grew up together, right!?"
"......" was then silent for a long time on the other end of the phone, and after the silence, the other side asked in a tentative tone, this time the voice was obviously much weaker, as if there was confusion and doubt, as well as a panic that seemed to be nothing.
"Y-how do you know?"
"I found a photo album of you when you were a kid at home like the wind. So you've always known each other! This time, Xiao Fan's tone was no longer accompanied by rhetorical questions, but directly and spread out. And Xiao Fan has no intention of deceiving the other party, because he also regards the other party as one of his best friends.
"You went to the house of the wind? ……”
"Yes."
How could the other party have such a big reaction? Xiao Fan felt strange.
"Why don't I know anything about it in my four years of college, what is there to hide about this?" Xiao Fan is honest and honest, and he doesn't like to hide it very much.
"This ...... This...... I really don't know how to tell you, it's a long story......"
The other party swallowed, but the more he did this, the more suspicious Xiao Fan became.
"What's the connection?"
"I didn't ...... There is no connection, don't get me wrong! The other party was anxious to clarify and justify something, but Xiao Fan suddenly fell into a confused face, his words were completely unconscious, in fact, he didn't want to ask any important questions, but the response given by the other party turned out to be like this. This had to make Xiao Fan even more suspicious, his subconscious words actually led to some kind of hidden possibility?
This also made Xiao Fan more and more sure in his heart that everything that happened from beginning to end could not be pure coincidence, and there might be some darkness and tricks quietly lurking under the dark water.
And this undoubtedly gave Xiao Fan a slap in the face, he really couldn't believe that the so-called sinister world really existed, and it was still by his side. Even these iron buddies he had always believed in seemed to have become strangers in an instant.
Everything has changed, everything is changing, even myself.
"I'll admit that we did know each other when we were young, and we were actually from the same village." Zhou Jie began to gradually reveal everything, but I am afraid that Xiao Fan will not believe it.
Xiao Fan listened carefully and quietly.
"As you can see, we grew up together, and we went to school together, we got out of school together, we went to the pond to catch frogs together, we lit cow dung with firecrackers, we set off wildfires together, we ...... together. I, Ning Yuan, Long Xiaotian, Xiang Kuo, Xia Rufeng, we are the best group of friends, of course, our relationship is also iron like buddies, no, more iron than iron buddies. ”
Xiao Fan was still listening, trying to restrain the dissatisfaction in his heart and continue to listen, listening to him talk about some dispensable things about their past, Xiao Fan clearly glimpsed a little bit from his tireless statement that he wanted to hide some real signs. The more he talked like this, the more Xiao Fan suspected that there was something wrong with him. What exactly is he trying to hide?
He was clearly weak-hearted, in every statement.
Xiao Fan was still listening, he had to listen.
"At that time, our parents all went out to work, it was more than nine years, and then we were equivalent to left-behind children, and finally ushered in the days when we could get close to our parents, and our parents settled in the city and had some savings, and a few of us began to move to the city with our families, and the houses in the countryside were not very inhabited, except for the grandparents who didn't want to leave."
Zhou Jie said a lot of things again, but in Xiao Fan's opinion, these seemed useless words. What's the use of saying this? You still haven't told me why you're hiding your relationship from each other.
had to take the initiative, Xiao Fan didn't want the other party to confuse himself. "I'll just ask, what is your relationship?"
"Isn't that obvious? That's good. Zhou Jie said.
"Then why didn't you show up at Rufeng's funeral, nor did you appear at Ning Yuan's funeral?"
Xiao Fan's series of questions undoubtedly gave the other party a blow to the head, and Xiao Fan waited for the answer on the other end of the phone.
“…… Oh, the deaths of Rufeng and Ning Yuan did give me a double blow, and I was also heartbroken about this, "Xiao Fan wants to ask, are you really heartbroken?" Would anyone really say what they were heartbroken? "Actually, I had something to do that day, and it was urgent,"
What day? That? Next, Xiao Fan thought that the other party was going to tell the old trick of his dead father and dead mother, but he didn't.
"I was really in a hurry, so I went back to my hometown. Because it is a family matter, I am not comfortable to say more, so please understand. ”
"I don't have anything more to ask, you can rest well, excuse me." Xiao Fan ended the call neatly.
It's all lies, it's all deception, and his words are no longer credible. Xiao Fan slammed his fist on the table!
