Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Cruel Lady
"Would you like to go to a far away place, where there are no worries, no classmates bully you, and no one to dress you for?" Mother asked again.
At the time, I thought my mother was serious, so I thought about it seriously and said, "Is there really such a place?" ”
My mother looked back at me, nodded with a firm look in her eyes, and said, "Yes, there must be!" ”
"But our home is here, and there are my classmates at my school, and although some of my classmates often laugh at me, I don't get angry with them anymore, because my mother said that I compare my grades with them, and my grades are better than all of them. And the other students liked me very much, and the teachers liked me too. If we get out of here, I'll never see them again! ”
Speaking of this, I can't help but feel a little sad.
"Are you really not afraid of the ridicule of your classmates, and aren't you afraid of living a hard life with your mother?" My mother looked at me with a serious expression.
"Don't be afraid!"
“……”
"Wouldn't you be upset if Mom told you your dad wasn't coming back?"
“…… Dad hasn't been back for years, it doesn't matter to me whether he comes back or not, just mom is by my side! "That's true, if it weren't for that picture, I would hardly know what my father looked like, and my father would have been just a title on the side of his mouth since he was a child.
As soon as I finished saying this, my mother suddenly turned around and hugged me tightly, and my mother's tears fell on my head.
I didn't know what was going on, and I didn't dare to ask my mother, so I let my mother hold me, and I was a little scared.
Later I learned that if I had agreed to leave my mother that day, maybe I would never have felt her arms again.
What I didn't know was that my mother had heard about my father from someone else that day, and now I think that my mother was convinced that my father would not come back after learning the news.
The weight of life had already brought her to the brink of collapse, and suddenly she was hit by such a big mental blow that she instantly lost the will to live.
If it weren't for my words, my mother would probably have actually "taken me somewhere else."
I realized the meaning of what my mother had said that night, and suddenly I felt a palpitation, and I couldn't help but return to the cliff again, but before I could reach it, I just looked at the green plants at the bottom of the valley and felt the world spinning.
Since then, I have been guilty of this fear of heights, and whenever I stand on a slightly higher place, I will feel palpitations accompanied by a strong feeling of dizziness, and I can't stand when it is intense.
"Now you know why I'm afraid of heights?" I looked back at Mu Xichun.
I saw her look at me dumbfounded, her eyes full of incredulity and horror, and she couldn't speak for a while.
She probably couldn't have imagined that the man in front of her would be on the verge of life and death at the age of ten again.
At the age of ten, I'm afraid she is still dreaming of a carefree princess.
After telling her about this past, my heart seems to be a lot more relaxed, and sure enough, everyone needs to talk about it.
Mu Xichun seemed to be still reminiscing about the story I was telling, staring blankly at the bottom of the cliff.
I didn't want to interrupt her re-enactment, and went back to clean up the weeds near my mother's grave.
Another year of spring has passed, and another year of summer has returned. The grass in front of the grave is cleared and grows again next year, but the mother can only appear in dreams, and even the opportunity to see her mother in dreams is becoming less and less......
The road down the mountain was very long, and we didn't speak, and the so-called past was unbearable to look back on, and we were all sad.
I walked forward with my own thoughts, and I didn't notice that Mu Xichun was gradually falling behind me. When I came back to my senses, there was still her.
I was a little surprised, this woman wouldn't be lost.
I was busy and turned around to look for her, only to see her sitting under a tree, already drenched in sweat.
"Why don't you go?" I asked.
"My leg hurts so much, I can't walk!" She looked at me pitifully and said with a bitter face.
"Don't rest any longer, hurry down the mountain while it's cool, it's only going to get hotter later!" I urged, my tone slightly impatient.
"I really can't walk! Or you go first, leave me alone! My tone seemed to make Mu Xichun feel a little unhappy.
"Let me tell you, the forest here is so big, deserted, and there are often snakes, insects and beasts, you want to stay here and follow you!" I said half-frightened, half-serious. There are no beasts, but there are snakes and insects.
Sure enough, Mu Xichun hurriedly jumped up when he heard my words, looked around vigilantly, and then followed closely behind me.
I didn't think it was funny, and when I looked back, I saw that she was walking in a strange way, and her eyes were probing, as if there was a real beast suddenly jumping out and committing murder.
Maybe it's because the mountain road is really too difficult to walk, and Mu Xichun may not have walked this kind of road in his life, so he only walked for a short time and then stood up again.
He didn't pick the ground, but sat on the grass and kneaded his calves with his hands.
I looked up at the noon sun and shook my head helplessly.
Walked up to her and forcibly pulled her up, then turned his back to her and patted her back half-squatting, saying, "Come up, my president!" ”
Mu Xichun's originally crying and mournful face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he didn't even need to hide it, and jumped on my back at once.
I smiled bitterly and said in my heart: You really don't know how to be reserved.
Mu Xichun lay on my back and hugged my neck, and her emotions rose, and she kept reaching for the bushes above her head and beside her, and made a hat on my back with enough bush leaves for me to stay on my head.
"Haha, it's green, but it looks pretty good! What do you think? "She's quite proud of her masterpiece.
"It's not good, take it off for me!"
"No, it's pretty good!"
"Do you believe that I threw you into the woods?" I threatened.
Mu Xichun hurriedly hugged my neck and said, "You throw it, so that both of us will be thrown into the grass by you." ”
I was speechless for a moment.
Due to the thin clothes, I can clearly feel the feeling of Mu Xichun's soft body on my back, especially when she hugged me tightly, the two soft and real and delicate, let my heart ripple and my thoughts flow.
At this time, I was almost sure that Mu Xichun was either playing tricks on me or really falling in love with me, but obviously the former seemed to be quite uneconomical for her, and it was mostly the latter.
Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a trace of bitterness in my heart, President, how can I refuse you?
"Wei Jinsheng!" She whispered my name behind my back.
"Huh?"
"Can you tell me about you and that woman named Li Ruyi?"
"What's there to say, haven't you found it all?"
"I only know a rough idea, can you tell me in detail what your relationship is and why you got it to the Public Security Bureau?"
I shook my head helplessly, after all, I couldn't run away, I thought to myself, I was afraid that she wouldn't die if I didn't tell her, so I told the story of the incident as it was, of course, the clip of me and Li Ruyi tearing each other on the river beach was very vague, but Li Ruyi's crying made the fishermen misunderstand before reporting to the police.
Mu Xichun listened to all my words, and the sound seemed to be open.
"Then you spent the whole night alone with her, didn't you really sit down for something?" Mu Xichun didn't seem to believe it.
As soon as I heard this, I didn't bother to explain any more, and I was about to throw her into the grass, but she hurriedly wrapped her arms and feet around my neck and waist, and attached herself to me like an octopus.
Mu Xichun stopped talking, but he was only silent for a moment, and then he whispered in my ear again: "Wei Jinsheng! ”
"What's wrong again?" I'm impatient.
"Do you know that no one has ever carried me like this!"
"So what?"
"Do you remember the first time you carried me?"
"Of course I remember, I remember the night I was beaten and my face was rotten!" I didn't have the heart to say it.
"Although it looks like a scoundrel when you forcibly carried me on your back that time, I felt so relieved on your back."
“……”
"You can be humiliated for your friend's sake and stay in the company, and I don't really want to take revenge on you, but that's what you thought at the time, didn't you? You were able to reduce yourself to a warehouse in order to help the stone, I just don't understand why you are a kind person, why do you disguise yourself as a scoundrel? I've only seen villains disguised as gentlemen, and I've never seen gentlemen disguised as villains, which I can't understand, can you tell me? ”
I didn't understand why she would suddenly ask such a question, I had never thought of such a question in my mind, and I didn't feel like I was faking it at all.
"Actually, I'm not pretending, I'm just doing it casually, and I'm not a gentleman. Since you want to know, I'll explain it to you. Li Liang is my best friend, if it were you, would you do something that would affect your friends? I answered by asking a question and asking a question of empathy.
"And then there are the stones, do you remember what I told you about the stones, his father died unexpectedly while working on the construction site, but he didn't get any compensation, and the land where his family was located was also acquired by our company, and he still didn't get any compensation. Stone had a similar experience to me, and that's why I decided to help him, I didn't feel like I had done something great, I just didn't want to repeat what I had happened to him! I sighed.
"You are so good to everyone, why are you so fierce to me?" Mu Xichun wiped my sweat with her sleeve, and her tone was slightly resentful.
"That's because I began to think that you are a bully and a rich lady, and your temperament is inevitably rude, but I can't do it if I try my best to curry favor with you like everyone else, so I don't want to get used to you when I see you acting rudely!"
That's true.
"Why are you different from others, I'm afraid it's hard to get benefits in such a social environment, if it weren't for me, I'm afraid that any person with your character would have been driven away by the company a long time ago!"
"Then why didn't you chase me away?"
"That's because I discovered the advantages of you as a person, but your advantages are covered by your scoundrel temperament, and it may be difficult for others to find out!"
