Chapter 234: An Open Heart
"I don't say yes!" As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a soft and weak, but unusually firm voice next to me, I turned my head to look, only to see Xi'er, who was supposed to go back to the house, stood at the door at some point, and the hair caged in front of her forehead was combed to both shoulders, revealing a face that was not beautiful, but also delicate and lovely, only the pure black, without a trace of whites, looked extremely weird.
I don't know when Xi'er was standing there, I don't know how much she heard, and I don't know if it was because of her personality or her body, she didn't burst into tears as shown in the TV series, I can only see a unique firmness in her eyes and expression.
"Xi'er, you" Hua Laosan also looked at Xi'er with some astonishment, probably didn't expect to be overheard by Xi'er, maybe because Xi'er didn't have a trace of anger, maybe because he was too involved just now, so he didn't find Xi'er quietly approaching, even if he had superhuman strength, he was a little overwhelmed at this time.
"I don't say yes!" Xi'er repeated the words just now, for a girl who can only hide in the ancestral hall since she was a child, and can only contact a few people, it is undoubtedly sensitive, in Xi'er's world, her parents have long been dead, in her life, there is only a grandfather, only an uncle, and there has never been the word father, and when she suddenly heard all this tonight, whether from the heart, or something else, it is simply unacceptable.
"Xi'er, listen to me." Hua Laosan looked at Xi'er and wanted to explain.
"I don't listen, I don't listen." After Xi'er finished speaking, she turned to leave, her steps staggered a little, I could even see her weak shoulders gently shrugging, even if there were no tears on her face, she must be crying in her heart, right?
"Can you do me a favor?" Hua Laosan turned his head to look at me and said.
"You say." I nodded, no refusal.
"Help me stay with her, she's never had a friend when she's grown up, I want you to be her friend." Hua Laosan said slowly.
"Why don't you go yourself? I think she needs your comfort and explanation more at this time, right? I looked at Hua Laosan with some puzzlement.
"The more she forgives me, the more painful it will definitely be, and it is better not to forgive than this." Hua Laosan shook his head and said.
"Well, I promise you." I said.
"Thank you. You can come to me directly tomorrow. Hua Laosan turned around and left, I don't know if it's my illusion, I only feel that his back is full of loneliness, some things are destined to be incompatible, for Xi'er, he undoubtedly did the responsibility of a father, and even did not hesitate to pay his life for this, but as a husband, the father of another child, he is undoubtedly a failure, I think his heart must be eager to have an afterlife, and the next life will compensate for the mother and daughter.
After Hua Laosan left, I turned around and walked into the ancestral hall, when I just left, Xi'er did not control her steps, so I followed the voice to the side of the ancestral hall, where there was a small door that was not easy to detect.
"Xi'er, can I come in?" I knocked lightly on the door.
There was no response inside, so I paused for a moment, but slowly pushed the door open.
"Meow!"
The first thing I heard was a cat meow, I followed the sound and saw that on the table, a pure black cat was staring at me curiously, and the jewel-colored eyes exuded a faint green color, which was very scary.
This room is not big, at most only a dozen square meters, no windows, the walls are covered with all kinds of posters, there is a table, there is a TV on it, and a large bookcase, which is full of all kinds of books, and then there is a small dresser, and a stool, except for this few pieces of furniture, there is only a single bed, at this time Xi'er is sitting on it, her head is lowered.
"Xi'er, hello, my name is Liu Yang, can I talk to you?" I didn't look like Xi'er could take the initiative to talk to people, so I was the first to speak.
Xi'er didn't speak, and she didn't even raise her head.
I smiled silently at the corner of my mouth, and then pulled over the only stool in the room and sat down, all of which was witnessed only by the black cat.
"Xi'er, you know what? You are happy. Xi'er, who had never looked up, instinctively looked up after hearing these words and looked at me with a stunned face.
"On the day I was born, my father rolled down the mountain, and my mother also because of dystocia, left me on the same day, in the eyes of the villagers, I am a lonely star, my father and mother, since I was a child, I grew up with my grandparents, when I was seven years old, my grandmother also left me, I saw my grandmother was taken away, but I couldn't do anything, from that time, I knew that I was ominous, so I became withdrawn, unwilling to contact people, but fortunately I have a strict but kind grandfather, has been nagging, He didn't get out of his way to talk to me, so he didn't let me develop any twisted personality. ”
In this dark, secluded hut, I slowly fell into memories, and I couldn't help but think of those pictures from my childhood, thinking about it, my heart suddenly became sour and painful.
"Since I was a child, I have envied those children who have fathers and mothers, envy that they can lie in their mother's arms and be coquettish, and envy that they can have their fathers chasing them all over the street with a broom, but I have never resented it, I have always believed that this world is fair, and after you lose in one aspect, God will definitely compensate you on the other hand, so I am firm that I will be happy in the future."
I said slowly, looking stunned, I don't know when it started, all Xi'er's eyes were on me, and I listened attentively.
From when I was a child, from school, little by little, one by one, all the way to Tong Xiaowan, Xi'er, Chen Yiming, everything that happened to me, bitterness, sweetness, I don't know why I suddenly said this, as if there was an impulse urging me to say all this, Xi'er is the only listener, maybe a spiritual black cat should be added.
"Thank you." When I finished speaking, I heard a voice from Xi'er, and at this time, Xi'er no longer lowered her head, stared at those dark eyes, and looked at me seriously.
"Xi'er, do you hate him?" I looked at Xi'er and asked.
"I" Xi'er opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say, although I didn't know much, but I could feel that this was a simple girl, and there seemed to be no resentment in her world.
"I don't know!" In the end, Xi'er shook her head gently, the unknown in her mouth was full of many meanings, she didn't know whether she should hate, she didn't know how she should face all this, her expression was full of confusion, for the present, for the future, all the same.
"Can you tell me all about you? As a friend, you know everything about me, is it your turn now? I said suddenly.
"Friends?" Xi'er looked at me puzzled.
"Yes, friend, wouldn't you like to be my friend?" If this sentence is taken outside and told to other girls, it will definitely be full of ambiguity, but for Xi'er, these two words are very heavy, very heavy, and very clear and pure.
"Yes." Xi'er looked at me straight for a moment, then nodded heavily.
The night was very long, very short, Xi'er spoke very slowly, very fragmented, but I saw her monotonous life from this, full of loneliness, full of loneliness, this is the first time I spent the night in a girl's boudoir
