Chapter 39: My Sister
It was a dark night, there was no wind, only the sound of insects came into the room from the courtyard.
In Grandpa's room, the old light bulb flickered and flickered, and suddenly it seemed that it could not withstand the power of the voltage, and after a soft "bang", the room was as dark as the outside.
Probably the bulb burned out.
It seems that I will have to repair the electrical circuit at home another day, and by the way, I will change the electric light in my grandfather's room.
Wei Ji put the chess pieces back into the chess box one by one, although there was no light, but because the chess pieces were placed in order, there was no confusion, and all the chess pieces were put back into the chess box. Suddenly, the lights came on.
This time, the lights no longer flickered, like a residual torch. The lights are as bright as they remember.
Wei Ji seemed to feel something, raised his head, and a black-haired girl stood on the pile of books with her hands flat and one foot, swaying, as if practicing gymnastics.
Suddenly, the girl seemed to be deliberate, and fell towards Wei Ji's side.
"Be careful!" Wei Ji hurriedly stretched out his hands.
The girl threw herself into Wei Ji's arms, giggling.
"Brother, don't worry, I won't fall."
Wei Ji was silent, holding the girl with almost no weight in his arms, his sadness was like a flood, fierce, and he couldn't help himself.
How can an individual who does not exist, but is only a soul, fall?
"Brother, you've finally found me."
The girl snuggled in Wei Ji's arms, like the yearning of the birds when they returned to the sky, like the firmness of the grass rooted in the earth, and her eyes were full of affection.
"Wei Rong, my sister, right?" Wei Ji spoke.
"Yes, grandpa took it, brother, did you guess it?" Wei Rong reluctantly came out of Wei Ji's arms and replied with a smile, his tone was gentle, playful and cute.
"Why? Why did I forget about you? ”
"yes, why? Brother, do you want to play a game of chess? But Wei Rong didn't answer.
She didn't know that she had taken out a chess piece from there, which was the "general" that had disappeared.
She said, "It's been a long time since my grandfather made this chess game for us." ”
Wei Rong was full of interest, waved his hand, and the surrounding books were instantly put back into the cabinet, a magical scene, like magic.
The chessboard was placed between the two of them, and the girl sat cross-legged and placed the red pieces in the chess box on the chessboard.
"Brother, play chess!" Wei Rong said.
This sentence seems to have been practiced many times in memory, Wei Rong said it very naturally, and Wei Ji suddenly had a feeling, as if he was looking in the mirror.
"Do you want me to set it for you? Yes, but brother, you have to let me, I'm my sister. ”
After Wei Rong finished speaking, he opened the chess box full of green chess, took out the chess pieces one by one, placed them in turn, and then took away three more chess pieces, just like Wei Ji was skillful when he took away his grandfather's rook and horse cannon many years ago.
"Brother, I'll go first!" Wei Rong's eyes lit up and he looked excited.
Flying phase.
Wei Ji hid the sadness in his heart, followed his sister's wishes, sat down, crossed his legs, and played chess.
Even those who have never played chess know that with an extra rook and horse artillery, it is actually very simple to win, and it is enough to fight.
The reason why Wei Ji couldn't get off his grandfather was that his grandfather's road was too desperate, and he was obviously at a disadvantage, but it was only because he took the lead and the chariots and horses were dispatched very quickly, so he took the lead again and again. is obviously at a disadvantage, but he can still gain the upper hand, and Wei Ji when he was young can't resist it at all.
But Wei Rong didn't have the ruthlessness of his grandfather at all, he obviously took the lead and didn't want to attack, but he wanted to defend, how could he win?
At first, Wei Ji was just surprised, thinking that Wei Rong was embarrassed to take advantage of himself, but as he went down, he found that the girl in front of him really couldn't get down, and the number of roads was far worse than his previous self, but he was a lot better than himself......
Wei Ji was unwilling to disappoint the girl, and finally created several "accidents" and reluctantly lost to Wei Rong.
"Hahahaha, brother, this is the 1,597th time you have lost to me, and your current record is still zero wins!" Wei Rong made a triumphant gesture, quite proud.
Fifteen hundred more? But this is the second time I've met my sister.
As if seeing through Wei Ji's thoughts, Wei Rong said: "It's in your dream, although you don't remember it, brother, but I do, after all, I have always lived in your dream." ”
"In a dream?" Wei Ji was puzzled.
He does have dreams, but when he wakes up, those dreams are forgotten by himself, without exception.
"Yes, brother, do you remember that afternoon?" Wei Rong said.
How could you forget that day, a girl in panda pajamas sat on the podium, and she was so sad.
"I was still sleeping when you called me, brother, that day, and I didn't have time to change my clothes."
Wei Rong looked at the clothes on her body with some embarrassment, in fact, she didn't dress up much now, her brother was too anxious to call herself out, and today she wore a big white shirt, which was still her brother's. The girl's somewhat thin body couldn't wear this white shirt at all, her fair and smooth shoulders were half-exposed, and two shoulder straps hung over her shoulders.
"You remember that day, brother, right, you drew a picture, of course, that's me, I heard my brother call me, and then I woke up from my dream."
"The painting that has no sign of inexplicability, and the name on the trunk of the tree, has also disappeared, and my memory, why can't I remember you at all? Why? What's going on? ”
Everything was so weird, and Wei Ji had a lot of questions in his mind.
"That's a world-destroying spirit of words, although there is still some difference from real forgetting, but it is still possible to modify your memory, but there are some other reasons, this world does not allow me to exist." Wei Rong was a little gloomy.
"What about Mom and Dad? How exactly did they die? ”
A sense of powerlessness filled Wei Ji's mind, and the cause of his family's death must not be simple.
"Brother, you have now come into contact with the dragon clan, right, Mom and Dad are half-bloods, and their bloodlines are very high. No one knows what two super hybrids will produce, so your birth is actually not blessed or allowed. It's just that grandpa blocked all the hostility for mom and dad. Later, my mother became pregnant with me again, and if I was also born, we would have five super hybrids in our family, how could I be allowed to do so. ”
"Mom and Dad, they are super hybrids, how can an ordinary car accident make them die easily, of course, someone designed that accident, although grandpa has already taken revenge. After that accident, there was an existence that activated that world-destroying spirit, and I just said what happened next. ”
Wei Rong said softly: "Brother, protect yourself, hide yourself, brother, you must live well." ”
It was as violent as a volcanic eruption, and the anger in the young man's heart could not be suppressed at all: "Do you think I should continue to tolerate those enemies?" Is it right to let them enjoy life as they want, and to laugh at the descendants of the victims who died under their plot and still mess with it every day? ”
"Why? Why do you let me live well, why do you think I'm still a child? Why? Why should I endure all this and not take revenge on them? Why? Why should I be confused and live! Even who your enemies are, you will hide from me! ”
Full of tears, anger, confusion, powerlessness, in front of this sister, who has no body and can only live in her dreams, sadness swells like a tsunami.
Feeling his brother's pain, Wei Rong also became sad, took his brother's face into his arms, and put his forehead against his brother's head.
Perhaps a long time ago, my brother and sister have been relying on each other like this.
Wei Rong looked concerned and spoke.
"It's okay, brother, time is a long time for us, and the worst fate has been escaped by us, so what is there to be sad about."
"Brother, no one can laugh at you, who dares to laugh at their gods."
"Brother, you know too, you can control the time. Of course time is very powerful, that's our innate ability, but ......"
"Do you know the price of time?"
"It's oblivion." Wei Rong sighed.
Time is always two-sided, and you can even use it to erase a person from the roots, only when it acts on you, you too will be forgotten by the world.
"What about you? Why are you like this now? ”
"Brother, in fact, I have been around for a long time, but something happened in the middle. We all 'disappeared' from this world, only then Grandpa found us and I could finally be my brother's sister again. ”
"Although I will forget myself like my brother now, as long as it is my brother's sister, it's a pity that an accident happened later......"
"What else is going on?" Wei Ji continued to ask.
"If you have a chance to talk to your brother in the future, I'm already very happy today, and if I keep talking, he will find out."
"Who is he?"
It was the same last time, and I was about to leave for no reason, who was the enemy hiding behind it?
Wei Rong didn't answer, kissed Wei Ji's forehead, and then buried his head in Wei Ji's arms, greedy for the warmth.
"Don't rely too much on your abilities, brother, nothing is free, everything is already marked with a price code when you use it, let's not forget it again."
"Actually, grandpa left you a thing, it's in this room, after all, it's our first official meeting, but I didn't bring a gift, so let me help you find it."
As sudden as last time, Wei Rong disappeared after finishing speaking. It's just that on the chessboard, in addition to two boxes of chess pieces, there is an extra thing that was not originally there.
It was a long black wooden box.
The long box was opened, and there was a knife inside, Tang Heng Knife.
It is about 80 centimeters long, black throughout, and the handle is a piece of black wood, and the texture is unknown.
Wei Ji was silent, sat for a long time, and finally held the black knife, obviously only holding the hilt, but it seemed to hold the authority of this world.
