Chapter 26: Story 2
"That was the first time I saw the world 'over there', right in my brother's eyes. I didn't see it very clearly, but I was shocked. Xia Beifeng looked down at Ning Lu and asked her, "I don't know how to tell you that feeling...... That is, when you die, do you see anything different from what you are alive? ”
Ning Lu slowly shook her head twice, tilting her head and looking at him curiously.
"If you haven't seen it yet, it's probably because of my relationship, you haven't completely left 'this side'. If you're all over there, you'll probably know what I'm talking about. Xia Beifeng pointed to the position of the transparent silk thread sticking out of his wrist, and then pulled out the unshapen pillow that had been ravaged by her from Ning Lu's hand, and put it back in its place, "Xiaotian's eyes have no problem at all in terms of physiological structure. The problem lies elsewhere, when he was a child, he could only see things 'over there', but he didn't know much about the world 'over there'...... It's not that his eyes are not good, but that he is too good. ”
"Oh......" Ning Lu replied in a low voice, lowered her head in some frustration, and thought for a while before asking him again: "Then, what is 'over there' like?" ”
"I don't particularly know." Xia Beifeng smiled bitterly, "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I have seen a few shadows in Xiao Tian's eyes, and it feels like nothing, and it seems to be something, Xiao Tian doesn't like to talk about this very much, and I don't want to ask." ”
"I'll see later, anyway, right?" Ning Lu said depressedly: "And I will go there soon, right." ”
Xia Beifeng nodded regretfully.
"There's nothing!" Ning Lu raised a hand as she said this, looking at the sunlight shining through her translucent palm, her eyes flickered a few times, "I really don't want to go at all...... Hey, uncle, can I stay at your house and not go there. ”
"It's people who always go. You're just a little bit earlier than everyone else. Xia Beifeng took out an apple from the fruit bowl, took out the fruit knife and gestured at the apple twice, threw the knife back, and directly lowered his head and nibbled on the apple with the skin, "I will also go in the future, sooner or later, there is nothing to be sad about." ”
"Even if you say so. I still don't want to go! I'm so young, and there's still a lot to do. Ning Lu lay on the sofa, rolled back and forth a few times, looked up at the smaller and smaller apples in Xia Beifeng's hand, and licked her lips, "I haven't eaten enough of the delicious food, and I can't eat it now." Can't you just find a way to keep me a few more days? ”
"There are solutions, but I won't help you." Xia Beifeng chewed the apple and said confidently: "And I don't seem to have any reason to help you." ”
"Hey! Uncle! Is it really good that you treat a beautiful girl in high school cruelly like this! Ning Lu pulled her neck and shouted: "Open your eyes and see clearly, I am a young girl in the flower season who was broken before she bloomed." Don't you have a little compassion? ”
"I'm sorry.,I like big breasts.,I'm pretty ...... or something. And you ......" Xia Beifeng glanced up and down at Ning Lu's green figure and shook his head regretfully.
"Heresy!" Ning Lu shouted angrily, turned her head to stare at the pattern on the sofa, and put on a posture that Lao Tzu was too lazy to pay attention to you.
After a while, she hesitated and asked, "What about your brother...... What about him? ”
"He likes Lori, and you're obviously expired." Xia Beifeng said without thinking.
Ning Lu simply got up from the sofa. Standing in front of Xia Beifeng, he made a gesture to beat him.
"Stop, stop...... I'm kidding. Xia Beifeng stretched out his hand to block his eyes. stopped Ning Lu's movements, and quickly explained: "To be serious, it's not good for anyone if you stay on 'here' for a long time. Whether it's the person who helps you stay here, or the person who stays here, you will be affected by the other side, and then the ending on both sides will be very tragic. ”
He said that. Reach out and throw the apple core in your hand in the direction of the kitchen.
"I advise you not to think about my brother, he is clearer than me. Do you think that he can see more things than I do, and will be friendly to you? ”
Ning Lu was stunned for a moment.
The apple core flew over Ning Lu's head, drawing a long parabola in midair, and finally landed in the trash can in the kitchen.
"'People' like you. A lot of people think so, but that's not possible. It's because he's often under your influence, and it's not a good thing, that he hates you so much...... That's right, he hates you very much, specially, don't, hate, hate. Xia Beifeng looked at the apple core falling into the trash can, turned his head and deliberately emphasized the words "particularly annoying" to Ning Lu, and asked with a smile: "Look, is it handsome?" ”
"Handsome, handsome, handsome, you are the most handsome." Ning Lu rolled her eyes, waved her hand at him impatiently, and said irritably: "I know you won't help me, you better finish the story quickly." It's been a morning in the ******, and I haven't heard the end yet, I'm tired if you're not tired. ”
"There's nothing after that!" Xia Beifeng shrugged at her and said quite casually: "I saw the old man who was not a human in Xiaotian's eyes, and then chased him all over the house...... But he still didn't agree, and he almost killed him. ”
"The old man always came to Xiaotian's side later, and I was afraid of hurting him, so I didn't dare to do it, and I was almost killed by the old man."
"The three of us spent half the night in the house, making it look like it had been ransacked. I had a broken arm, and I was chased by the old man like a dog, stepping on a piece of glass, and bleeding all over the ground...... In fact, it's not too much, but it looks scary, but Xiaotian seems to have been remembering this incident. ”
"Then the visiting friend didn't even have a phone call for half a month, and I thought that the Taoist chief who died in the mountains came back in the middle of the night after that day, and directly turned the old man over."
Ning Lu: "......"
The ending of this story is surprisingly concise and clear...... It's just touching!
Actually, you don't want to talk about it!
She stared at Xia Beifeng, couldn't say anything for a long time, and finally had to sigh and pat Xia Beifeng's shoulder.
"Uncle......" She looked at Xia Beifeng's eyes sincerely, and said affectionately: "Actually, although you are in your thirties, you are compared to when you were thirteen years old. It doesn't make a difference. ”
I always felt like I was mentally retarded.
"Something has changed." Xia Beifeng touched his chin, lowered his head and pondered for a while, then looked up at Ning Lu's face again, and smiled at her, "By the way, later I thought it might not be good to go on like this, so I was coaxed and deceived by the shameless Taoist priest who was eating and drinking at my house to worship him as a teacher." ”
Just change the topic and give up the rebuttal!
Can you defend yourself? I'm really going to think you're hopeless, you know?
Ning Lu looked at Xia Beifeng dumbfounded, and it took a while to realize what he had just said.
"You, worship him as a teacher?"
"Hmm." Xia Beifeng covered his face in pain and whispered, "I was still young at that time. He fooled me and said that I worship him as a teacher, so that he can stay in my house all the time and protect my brother for free, and after I learn more things in the future, I will be able to watch Xiaotian by myself without him. I felt that what he said made sense, so I didn't think much about it and agreed directly...... Looking back now...... Alas. It's a shame! ”
"It doesn't seem to be ......," Ning Lu subconsciously said half a sentence before he reacted violently, "This sounds really strange." ”
Xia Beifeng nodded.
Ning Lu tilted her head and thought for a while.
At first glance, the Taoist priest's words seemed to make some sense, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that nothing was wrong.
But if you really say that there is something wrong, you can't seem to find it.
It's flawless!
"If it were me, I would have believed it." Ning Lu comforted Xia Beifeng in a low voice: "You were only thirteen years old at the time, and it is normal to be deceived, don't be too sad." The Taoist priest...... Ah no, it's your master, right, what did he teach you later? ”
"Basically, it didn't teach me anything. It's all my own realization......" Xia Beifeng turned his head to look at Ning Lu, with a weird smile on his face. Gritted his teeth and said: "I later learned that his ultimate goal was to wait for Xiaotian to grow up and accept him as an apprentice." But Xiaotian's kid is more difficult, so he fooled me first and took it as a roundabout plan. ”
"Your master...... He's pretty ......" Ning Lu said the first half of the sentence intermittently, and couldn't think of a better adjective to use to describe this person for a while.
She searched hard for her barren knowledge of the language, and finally found a similar word in a corner of her mind.
"Pretty good. Visionary. ”
"Hehe......" Xia Beifeng sneered, and patted the coffee table in front of him angrily, "Do you know what the most hateful thing is, he has lived in my house since then and started to be an uncle." He used to cook for the two of us, and since then. He fooled me with his apprentice's shameless remarks that he wanted to honor his master, this is a test for your master, and asked me to cook for him...... Lao Tzu was only thirteen years old at that time, thirteen years old! ”
"Well, it's still a child laborer." Ning Lu nodded with affection and echoed: "It's too much, this kind of adult!" ”
"There is no thicker elder in the world than him."
"Yes, yes, yes......" Ning Lu then said: "Relying on the old and selling the old, relying on your age, you will **** all day long, saying that you are not right, that is not right, God is annoying!" ”
"Still picky, you say that a person who has survived all the ************ actually said that the rice is too hard to eat, isn't it a bit too much!"
"It's okay to pick your mouth, you still hide things, and you don't take out some fruits that are rotten, who is rare!"
"Uh......" Xia Beifeng suddenly paused, and looked at Ning Lu with sympathy, "My master, that is, he is usually fine and has a lot of stinky problems, but he is quite willing to spend money on the two of us, although it is because he originally earned more...... But the one in your family, I don't know whose it is, it's a bit excessive. ”
"Hmph...... "Ning Lu squeezed out a few strange laughs from between her teeth, "She doesn't want to see me, because what's the use of giving birth to a female doll, and going to study, how can you do it if you do well in the exam, can the female doll make any big money, sooner or later, it will be someone else's family." ”
Xia Beifeng spread his hands and made a regretful expression.
"And there are ......" Ning Lu said quickly: "Women are stupid, now it's easy to study, if you go to high school in the future, you will definitely be just a boy's ...... You spend so much money for her to study, sooner or later you will know that you will regret it, it is better to give the money to her brother. ”
"Then your brother ......" Xia Beifeng said curiously, "Have you thrived according to her ideas?" ”
"Except for the prescription of glasses getting bigger and heavier, it doesn't seem to have grown anywhere." Ning Lu said and counted Xia Beifeng with her fingers, "I beat the lesbian table at school, scolded the teacher, hit the boyfriend at the lesbian table, and was blocked in the alley by the boyfriend at the lesbian table until his mother couldn't recognize him, and complained that I didn't stand in front of him like a sister to protect him...... Let's not say that I don't know about this at all, but even if I do, they seven or eight thugs beat him up, is it any use for me to stand in front of him? Isn't it funny, you say? ”
"I think you can probably still use it a little, after all, you can barely make people feel a little pity." Xia Beifeng teased Ning Lu while looking up and imagining that picture, and finally couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha, seriously, were you very happy when you heard about this." ”
"Don't say that, after all, it's my cousin, and I'm still sad to be sad." Ning Lu solemnly covered her chest and said slowly: "If he really can't take care of himself, I am willing to go to the hospital to see him every month." ”
After she said this, she also laughed for a while, then turned her head to look at Xia Beifeng, and blinked her eyes slyly.
"Your master, did you lie to you and kowtow to him nine times?"
"Kowtow is a kowtow, but it's not a lie to me." Xia Beifeng also winked at Ning Lu, and said with a smile: "His relationship with our family is actually quite complicated, but it's not easy to tell you." In short, even if he is not my master, I still have to kowtow to him every year. ”
"Oh......" Ning Lu nodded, paused for a moment, and continued: "I don't understand, anyway, this matter doesn't have much to do with me. You just say directly, which master of yours taught you later. ”
"He taught me a lot of things, and he taught whatever he thought of in a mess, and he didn't have any rules at all. And when to teach it all depends on his mood...... It simply left a huge psychological shadow on my miserable teenage years. Xia Beifeng said sadly: "But he didn't do this to Xiaotian, he was simply bullying the soft and afraid of the hard." ”
"I'm the one who treats your brother well." Ning Lu propped her chin in her hands and looked at the glowing glass coffee table in front of her, her eyes shining brightly: "After all, your brother is much cuter than you." ”
"That's just your delusion." Xia Beifeng unceremoniously interrupted Ning Lu's fantasy, "You'll know in a few days, he's a ...... The Demon King of the Mixed World. ”
"The Demon King of the Mixed World is also cute!" Ning Lu retorted solemnly: "After all, Yan is justice, don't you understand?" ”
"I can't help it if you have to say that, but I think I actually ...... it" Xia Beifeng was halfway through his words, and suddenly turned his head to look at the door, revealing a shocked expression.
Ning Lu also turned his head with him.
Through the tall floor-to-ceiling window next to the door, a tall figure can be faintly seen, standing in the doorway, as if raising his hand to knock on the door.
"How did he get in?" Xia Beifeng whispered: "Isn't the door locked?" ”
The doorbell rang at the door.
