Seeing that there was no response for a long time behind him, Ah Chu looked back with some concern, only to see Xiaoyun holding hands and stopping in place, standing with his backlight, he hid his body under the mottled shadow, the wind gently shook Xiaoyun's clothes, he hung his head helplessly, his shoulders trembled, and he snorted, "But... My brother can't see it..."

"Cheer up, your brother will turn into a sea spirit to protect you, he must not want to see you like this. What he hopes most is that you can leave this small fishing village, and he wants you to live a happy and happy life. Ah Chu suppressed the sourness in his heart and tried to enlighten Xiaoyun.

"Really?" Xiaoyun suddenly raised his head, his face was full of tears, and his expression was a little distorted, this was the first time he had cried since Shi Lei's accident.

"Xiaoyun, you..."

"But my brother doesn't deserve to die... If it weren't for my insistence on fishing... He should be mending fishing nets at home at this time, and if it weren't for me, he would have taken Duoduo to collect shells, catch sea crabs, and make sand sculptures. ”

"It's me who forced away Duoduo and them, it's me who killed my brother." Xiaoyun frowned sadly, panting, word by word, step by step.

"Nonsense... It's all nonsense, I... What a foolish mistake! ”

Although Xiaoyun already had the answer in his heart, it was not as big as what he saw and heard with his own eyes, and the pain that had been suppressed for many days completely broke the embankment at this moment. He hates himself for being red-eyed and greedy, he hates himself for going his own way, he hates his own existence, it was he who separated his brother's wife, and it was he who let his brother go to Huangquan!

Xiao Yun kept shaking his head, waving his hands in the air indiscriminately, gesturing something, his mind was a little confused, "He won't forgive me, I hurt him so much, I hurt him for half his life, I killed him without a body, what should I do, what should I do... Everyone is right, I'm a broom star, whoever touches me is unlucky... Stay away from me, go! ”

The boy screamed and cried bitterly, stepping back, his voice mixed with deep despair.

"Xiaoyun, don't do this."

"I actually killed my brother for this non-existent thing, hahaha... Hahaha... Shi Yun, Shi Yun, you are really stupid and dull as a pig, the sky is unforgivable! ”

Xiao Yun laughed and ran to the beach, looking crazy.

"Little Cloud ——!"

The first time Ah Chu met Xiaoyun was at his uncle's wedding banquet, the firecrackers were deafening, the adults were toasting and laughing, and the children were playing, but he was the only one who sat in the corner and stared at the bride stunned, so weird.

"Whose child are you, why do you keep staring at my little aunt, so rude."

Xiao Yun followed the sound and saw that the person who came was the same age as herself, her eyes lit up, and she lowered her voice and pretended to be mysterious, "Did you see her little finger?" ”

"What's wrong with the little fingers", Ah Chu looked at the bride's hands that were folded on her sleeves with some curiosity.

"Normal people have three knuckles, but hers has an extra one, the old man often says that if you meet a wedding lady with four knuckles and little fingers, she will touch her head and bless her soon, and good luck will come!"

"Yes, yes?" Surprised, Ah Chu found that the little finger of the bride's right hand was level with the ring finger, and it was indeed four knuckles under a closer look.

"You want my aunt to touch your head?"

"It's a blessing, and it must be the day of the wedding." Xiaoyun said kindly, his eyebrows and eyes crooked.

"It's... It doesn't make sense. ”

"That makes sense. Why don't you go and help me talk about it? Xiaoyun suddenly approached the other party, his eyes were full of sly, his face was almost close to his face, and the hot air sprayed out made Ah Chu's ears a little red, and Ah Chu's head moved back slightly, "Why, why don't you go?" ”

"You are her brother-in-law, there is this relationship, she will agree to it if she is reasonable, not to mention that it is a good thing to give to others and herself, your aunt blessed me, she will also receive good fortune!"

"But what's my business?" Moving back a little further, Ah Chu felt that his words were more brisk.

"I've been sitting here for so long, only you come to talk to me, there is a saying that explains it like this, there is a fate to meet thousands of miles away!"

That's how this phrase is used?! Ah Chu's eyes were wide open.

"Since you and I are destined, why worry about this little help!"

Ah Chu's eyes were rounder.

"You promise me once, we will be friends from now on, if you have anything, I will do my best to help you! There's a saying that explains it like this, there's—"

"Okay, okay, I agreed."

How can a boy be like a little girl?

"You're really my good brother!" Xiao Yun excitedly grabbed Ah Chu's hand, revealing a neat row of teeth, that smug look, a fox that caught a hare, almost a pair of wagging ears and a high tail echoed.

Chu: .........

The wedding banquet was carried out in the most enthusiastic part, the firecrackers in front of the door soared into the sky, the joy in the house continued, the villagers gathered around the couple to send blessings, the young children cheered, and the newlyweds poured wine in return.

"You asked for a blessing for your brother." The two came to a quiet corner in the backyard, Ah Chu handed over the stolen wine jar, and Xiaoyun didn't twist it, holding it and taking a few sips.

"My brother has been married for two years, and you know that the situation in my family is very bad, plus there is still me as a drag oil bottle, and no girl wants to marry in, so," Xiao Yun turned his head to meet Ah Chu's eyes and said seriously, "I will do anything that can be done for my brother, even if it is a superstitious saying in the mouths of the villagers, I will give it a try, in case - it will come true..."

"That's your own brother, your father doesn't ...... The eldest brother is like a father, he thinks about you and does his duty to be good to you, and you just have to treat him well when you have a future life, and you don't have to have such a great sense of guilt. ”

"But brother, he's so good to me, some people's fathers can't do it... I wish he had been selfish and swept his siblings out of the house like a brother in another family. ”

Ah Chu looked at Xiaoyun in a daze, the young man stared at the sky, there seemed to be a dark tide surging in his dark eyes, not as brisk as before, the whole person seemed to be caught by a huge fishing net, netting the boy's innocence, netting the boy's future.

The gongs and drums in front of the hospital are noisy, and the clouds behind the hospital are bleak, only separated by a wall, and the joys and sorrows of the world can be so clear.

After going crazy, Xiaoyun no longer does work, no longer studies, only squats on the beach every day and talks to his brother, laughing twice from time to time.

Later, Chen Er's sale of smuggled salt was not able to be hidden, and the above sent people to investigate and deal with it, and some villagers had to move away in order to avoid trouble. Later, people from other villages re-entered.

At the beginning, they only felt that Xiaoyun was pitiful, and often patiently comforted them and gave them meals.

Gradually, they became bored with Xiaoyun's ghostly appearance, and began to distance themselves from him with some unknown people.

"Look at that person, he killed his parents and his only relative, his life is too hard, we have to stay away from him."

From cold to summer, the young people in the village have gone to the outside world to work hard, and some have even settled down and never returned.

"This old madman is really bad luck!" A boy threw a stone at Shi Yun and spat on it.

Shi Yun only turned his head and smiled, his hair was unkempt, his eyes were cloudy, and his flesh was sagging, like scorched rotten wood.

"Sitting here every day and pretending to be a ghost, my aunt is so scared that I don't dare to come to the beach."

"I heard my grandfather say that when he was young, he tried his best to do something for nothing, and went to the deep sea to hunt sea monsters alone, and his brother was eaten by sea monsters in order to save him."

"Moreover, it was he who cut his brother's rope for his life, and his brother could have survived."

"Yes, yes, my uncle said the same thing, and he smuggled sea salt, almost ruining the lives of the entire village, it's terrible!" A child covered his chest with a gesture, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"It's really a lack of human hearts to swallow elephants, what is this scourge still alive for!"

"Haven't you heard of a saying that the scourge is left behind for a thousand years!"

The sun baked the beach hot, several teenagers threw mud around Shi Yun, some used branches to drive him into his crotch, and some stepped on Shi Yun's head, forcing him to gnaw on the mud and sand, this kind of devil fighting is enjoyable for different people every day, the only constant is that the protagonist who is bullied is always Shi Yun.

Ah Chu, I'm back.

He saw that his former companion had grown his hair and had yellow bones when he had only been standing up; He saw him prostrate at the feet of the child, his eyes glazed; He saw him munching on the sand and letting out a terrible laugh.

He found the best Lang medicine in the neighborhood to treat Shi Yun's madness, and under the careful care of him day and night, Shi Yun's symptoms were mostly alleviated, but he had nightmare again, shouting at the air from time to time, holding his head and curling in the quilt from time to time to whimper and beg for mercy, scratching his face from time to time, and grabbing his head from time to time.

Fortunately, he was much more conscious, and at least he could understand Ah Chu's words.

"Come with me, I've settled down in Shangjing, and it's more than enough to feed you."

Shi Yun stared at the corner of the wall and muttered in a daze, not responding.

"People must always jump out of the shadow of the past in life, and people must look forward."

Ah Chuyi persuaded Shi Yun for a few days but failed to change his mind, and wanted to forcibly take him away, but he was fiercely beaten. After living outside for many years, Ah Chu already has a new circle of friends, and his wife and children are waiting for him, so it is impossible for him to abandon everything and return to this now strange hometown, so he has to give some money to the villagers and take care of them.

"Don't! Don't bite me! Don't..."

Shi Yun sat up suddenly, he stared at the corner of the window, he didn't dare to breathe, Shi Lei's bloody half body was leaning there, his eyes burst with red light, Shi Yun tried to stick his body to the innermost side of the bed, but the bloody body was slowly approaching, he couldn't move, the fishy smell came to his nose, and he closed his eyes in fear.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......
