Chapter 16: It's all fate

"I'll admit that we did know each other when we were young, and we were actually from the same village." Zhou Jie began to gradually reveal everything, but I am afraid that Xiao Fan will not believe it.

Xiao Fan listened carefully and quietly.

"As you can see, we grew up together, and we went to school together, we got out of school together, we went to the pond to catch frogs together, we lit cow dung with firecrackers, we set off wildfires together, we ...... together. I, Ning Yuan, Long Xiaotian, Xiang Kuo, Xia Rufeng, we are the best group of friends, of course, our relationship is also iron like buddies, no, more iron than iron buddies. ”

Xiao Fan was still listening, trying to restrain the dissatisfaction in his heart and continue to listen, listening to him talk about some dispensable things about their past, Xiao Fan clearly glimpsed a little bit from his tireless statement that he wanted to hide some real signs. The more he talked like this, the more Xiao Fan suspected that there was something wrong with him. What exactly is he trying to hide?

He was clearly weak-hearted, in every statement.

Xiao Fan was still listening, he had to listen.

"At that time, our parents all went out to work, it was more than nine years, and then we were equivalent to left-behind children, and finally ushered in the days when we could get close to our parents, and our parents settled in the city and had some savings, and a few of us began to move to the city with our families, and the houses in the countryside were not very inhabited, except for the grandparents who didn't want to leave."

Zhou Jie said a lot of things again, but in Xiao Fan's opinion, these seemed useless words. What's the use of saying this? You still haven't told me why you're hiding your relationship from each other.

had to take the initiative, Xiao Fan didn't want the other party to confuse himself. "I'll just ask, what is your relationship?"

"Isn't that obvious? That's good. Zhou Jie said.

"Then why didn't you show up at Rufeng's funeral, nor did you appear at Ning Yuan's funeral?"

Xiao Fan's series of questions undoubtedly gave the other party a blow to the head, and Xiao Fan waited for the answer on the other end of the phone.

“…… Oh, the deaths of Rufeng and Ning Yuan did give me a double blow, and I was also heartbroken about this, "Xiao Fan wants to ask, are you really heartbroken?" Would anyone really say what they were heartbroken? "Actually, I had something to do that day, and it was urgent,"

What day? That? Next, Xiao Fan thought that the other party was going to tell the old trick of his dead father and dead mother, but he didn't.

"I was really in a hurry, so I went back to my hometown. Because it is a family matter, I am not comfortable to say more, so please understand. ”

"I don't have anything more to ask, you can rest well, excuse me." Xiao Fan ended the call neatly.

It's all lies, it's all deception, and his words are no longer credible. Xiao Fan slammed his fist on the table!

Xiao Fan never smoked, looking at the pack of Yellow Crane Towers on the table, Xiao Fan picked it up and lit the cigarette butt with the lighter on the table.

Multiply......

As the cigarette butt ignited, a volcano-like red light flickered in the air in a subtle manner. Xiao Fan came to the window and looked at the scenery outside the window, which was quiet as if on the other side of a strange world, and I didn't know what was hidden inside.

An unknown short-legged bird rested on a nearby branch, with gray and pale light-colored feathers and a small fluffy head, staring at Xiao Fan in a daze, as if he hadn't seen anyone standing in front of the window for a long time. What is it looking for?

Xiao Fan exhaled a puff of smoke, a feeling he hadn't felt for a long time, and he suddenly felt some slight relief in his brain. But the fatigue is still there.

How exactly Rufeng died, the question is still unknown. But it must have something to do with these people, these things, probably.

Then, Xiao Fan thought of that night, the night when the incident happened on a whim. That night, several people got together for the first time in many years.

Could it be that the deaths of the two friends have something to do with what happened that night, or "human ......"?

I can still vividly reflect that moment in my mind, a phantom shadow floating down from the window, suddenly disappearing into the inky night, as profound as a movie picture.

He thought she was looking for him, and he thought that he had an uninhibited bond with the other party.

However, he now had to think differently. Perhaps, from the beginning, the other party's goal was not on him!?

Standing in front of the door of this suburban villa, Xiao Fan threw the key into the flower pot standing next to the door.

"Farewell, like the wind." Xiao Fan called softly, as if calling a soul.

No matter what, Xiao Fan will never return to this place again, like the wind, and it will also be buried deep in his memory.

However, the road must continue to walk, which may be the fate of the living.
