Chapter 57: Seventeen Escapes
"Oh, why?" I sat up straight, "He must have been a kid then, right?" ”
"Well, he's twelve years older than me, and he was seventeen the year he left home." Chuniel's face became a little ugly, and she rubbed her temples with both hands, "Actually, my brother has loved me since he was a child, he is very strong, and he almost doesn't need help from others in everything." He always bullied me in front of adults, but he always left me with delicious food and fun behind his back. ”
"When I was about four or five years old, he used to talk to me about things, but I was very young and I couldn't remember what he said, but there was one sentence that I still remember."
"What?"
"He said, 'You're the family,' and I remember my parents saying that when they were arguing, I remember it very clearly."
I remembered the boy in that photo, with a long tiger head and a tiger brain, a very strong body, and fierce eyes, which was diametrically opposed to Chuniel's father's polite appearance.
"He," I wanted to ask, but I couldn't open my mouth.
Chuniel looked at me and smiled reluctantly, "He's biological." ”
"Oh, that's not what I meant." I shook my head, not sure Chuniel could guess my question.
"It's nothing, my dad is very good to my brother, but my brother never gives my dad a good look, because of this, my mom taught him a lesson. Once he had a big argument with my mother, and my mother was angry and beat him, who knew that he left a letter in the middle of the night, and then ran away from home himself. ”
"What is in the letter?"
"I don't know, this is what I heard my dad say later, no one knows the content of the letter. Since my brother left, my mom has changed like a different person, and her temper has become even more irritable than before, and sometimes I hear her say to herself, 'I damn if I didn't take good care of our children!' ’”
"Every time I celebrate the New Year, my mother always buys my brother new clothes, saying that your brother should grow taller, last year's clothes are small, and when he eats Chinese New Year's Eve, she also sets him new dishes and chopsticks, saying that your brother is back for the New Year." My dad was frightened by my mother's behavior and forced her to go to the doctor, but she insisted that there was nothing wrong with her. ”
Chuniel said this in one breath, and suddenly looked at me, "My brother is about the same age as you. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, my parents are both famous and surnamed, and I am not a runaway child." I smiled slightly, in fact, I also wanted her not to be so uncomfortable, after all, her brother has not been heard from all along.
"When I grew up, my mother slowly got better, and her energy was basically focused on me, but no one in the family mentioned my brother anymore. As far as you can see, it was the only photo of my brother, even if it was dusty, my mother never let others move, she always wiped it slowly by herself. ”
At this time, the plane encountered some air currents, and the fuselage was very turbulent, and I grabbed Chuniel's hand tightly, and Chuniel smiled and looked at me gently.
"Ding Jia, I told you about my family because I regarded you as a family." When she said this, she looked a little embarrassed.
"You know, in fact, I shouldn't have asked about your brother, you made you so unhappy, and you also dragged your mother in." I patted the back of her hand, "I'm sorry. ”
Chuniel giggled again, "You're like this sometimes, you're stupid at a glance, hehe! ”
"You know, I actually know where my brother went." She said to me mysteriously.
"How do you know?" I'm very strange, no one knows the content of that letter, besides, a runaway person, should he write out where he is going and tell others?
"At that time, I was growing up, and once I was playing in the garden, I heard Uncle Pang whisper to Aunt Yang that the young master went to the Zhoushan Islands, saying that he was looking for someone."
"Oh, no, there's only one possibility." I kept my mouth shut and pondered slowly.
"What is possible?"
"When your brother left, Uncle Pang knew, and it was possible that he secretly let him go." I made a bold assumption, "Uncle Pang and your brother should have a good relationship, can your brother go out of the house in the middle of the night and he doesn't know?" ”
"Well, my mother and my father also suspected it, but Uncle Pang said that he didn't know at all, and it was my brother who went out over the wall by himself."
"Didn't you tell your mother what you heard?"
Chunnier stuck out her tongue, "I didn't dare to say it at first, when my mother heard that I was going to mention my brother, she couldn't beat me to death." ”
"Don't dare to say it at first? So you mean you said it later? ”
"Well, that's my own brother, everyone has run away from home, and finally there is some news, of course I have to tell my mother. I was ready to be beaten and told my mother what I heard from Uncle Pang, who knew that when she heard that my brother had gone to the Zhoushan Islands, she didn't have any expression, and kept saying that she was in debt, in debt! ”
"Debt?" I became more and more confused, "Do you have any relatives in the Zhoushan Islands, or acquaintances and friends?" ”
"How can there be, I haven't heard of any relatives in my family for more than 20 years, and the nearest relative is Wulin's family, but the relationship is still so tense."
Chuniel's eyes began to gurgle again, "Let me ask you, what did you talk to my mother alone about that time, she was able to forgive the fat old man, and took the initiative to invite him to the house for dinner?" ”
I held back a smile, combed her hair with my hand, and then pretended to be serious and said to her: "After you walked away, I saw that there was no one around, and I knelt down for your mother at once, and I begged her to marry you to me, guess what your mother said?" ”
Chuniel heard that I was lying to her, but she still asked me very cooperatively, "Hero, please speak up!" ”
"Your mother said, alas, my ugly girl is usually not looked at by anyone, this is wronged you! So, if you make a request, I promise you, it's compensation for you! ”
"And then you said to ask my mother to forgive the fat old man as compensation for you, didn't you?" Chuniel squeezed her pink fist and gestured at me.
"Hmm." I scratched her head vigorously, "Clever boy! ”
"Ding Jia, you hate it!" As she spoke, Chuniel beat me up for a while, "You learned to bully me!" ”
Such a short chat can make me feel that time flies quickly, and can make me forget about them for a while until the plane lands.
As soon as Chuniel and I arrived at the exit, Wu Lin was already waiting at the door.
Wu Lin's expression was very complicated when he saw us, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad, he took the bag in our hands and walked quickly with us towards the car.
"What the hell is going on?" I asked Wulin anxiously, "Aren't they all masters!" ”
Wu Lin didn't speak, he shook his head, "Let's get in the car first, let's talk while walking." ”
When the car drove away from the airport, Wu Lin slowly spoke, "Yesterday, Zhao Lao and Lao Buttock, as well as Uncle and Second Master of the Liu family, the four of them decided to go down the well. The well had been deserted for more than forty years, and there was no water in it, so they had almost dug it, and they went down. ”
I anxiously asked, "And then it just collapsed?!" ”
