Chapter 158: a new day

Views:

Shi Wei Chong led Shi into the suite he lived in, settled him down on the sofa in the living room, made him a cup of hot cocoa, opened two digestible snacks and put them in front of him, and then casually put on a coat , Walked to the door and said: "I'll go to the small kitchen to get you something to eat. You use these cushions to cushion your stomach. I will come back soon. I will bring my mobile phone. Call me if you have something to do."

Shijin nodded with a smile, and waved his hand to hurry up while stuffing a snack in his mouth.

Shi Weichong was amused by his anxious look, and ordered to eat slowly, took the door to the room and left.

The room calmed down, Shi Jin slowly removed the smile on his face. He patted off the scum on his hand, stood up, and walked around in this room that took care of both the living room and the study. He glanced over a half-written note on the desk, leaned over, and reached out to touch the note. When I turned to the title page, I saw the familiar words "Gift Young Brother" again. I tightened my fingers, gently covered the notes, and turned and walked towards Shi Weichong's bedroom.

He remembered that Shi Weichong usually put the more important things in a drawer under the bedside table...

it's here.

He walked to the bedside table on the right, crouched down, touched the small lock hanging on the second drawer, and was too lazy to find the key, so he violently opened it and pulled the drawer open.

The contents are exposed, a few documents, a picture frame, a gun, and a few boxes of bullets. This is all the contents of the drawer.

Shijin found what he wanted, reached out and took the gun, touched a bullet, put it in his jacket pocket together, got up and prepared to leave, when he turned around, he swept his gaze to the big picture frame deep in the drawer. After a pause, he squatted back and reached out to take out the photo frame.

The photo frame is a bit old and should have been around for many years. Shijin turned it over, and a family photo taken in a certain New Year's Day was shown in front of him. On the family portrait, Shi Xingrui’s position was hollowed out, leaving only a few children sitting around the sofa. His heartstrings trembled, and his gaze swept over the brothers who were still just teenagers. Finally, on Shi Weichong's knees, he found himself who was smiling and holding the toy.

The old days just rushed in front of him when he was defenseless. He tightened his hands and scanned the people in these photos carefully, and found that except for him, the smiles on the faces of the five brothers of the Shi family were all stiff and reluctant. They His eyes were dull or gloomy or hollow, completely lacking the look of a young man.

The house in the background of the photo is warm and festive, with New Year decorations symbolizing happiness and reunion everywhere, but none of the people in the photo are truly happy except for the young man.

fake. Why do you want to show yourself so wronged, right and money are so important!

He couldn't help being angry. He wanted to take down the photo frame and pulled out the photo, but after uncovering the back cover of the photo frame, he saw another photo hidden inside. He was taken aback and pulled out the photo.

A woman with a happy smile holding her baby showed up, and he instantly recognized that this was Xu Jie, the Xu Jie when she was young. His expression became tense, thinking of all his past encounters, and he just wanted to tear up the photo immediately.

But he didn't do that. He suppressed the urge to tear up the photo and looked at the child in Xu Jie's arms.

It was a very fat and white child, who should be only a few months old, smiling stupidly, and could not see the shadow of Shi Wei Chong in the future. The tip of his nose suddenly sore, and he sat on the ground as if he had been drawn from his strength.

He didn't dare to think about Shi Weichong's feeling of collecting such two photos. If... If there weren't those things that happened later, Xu Jie was not so conscientious, Shi Xingrui was not so distorted and ruthless, would Shi Weichong have an ordinary happy family? Will you also be able to enjoy the kind of beauty you enjoyed when you grew up under the lap of your adoptive parents

He lowered his head and put these two photos together, looking at the brothers in the photos, looking at himself and Shi Weichong as a baby, his fingers slowly tightened.

It's not because of power or money... It's just for love, father's love, mother's love. When Shi Wei Chong and the others were forced by their mother to act in front of their father, the eldest Shi Wei Chong was only in his early ten years old and was just a child. In order not to provoke their mothers and to get close to their fathers, what else can they choose besides obedience

Children are innocent, and the bad ones are adults who persecute and guide them to do bad things.

He slowly became expressionless, got up and walked outside, walking faster and faster.

"Jin Jin, what are you going to do?" Xiao Death had a bad instinct, so he asked quickly.

Shi Jin did not answer, and walked forward sullenly. He soon left the building where Shi Weichong lived, looked around, found the deepest building in the sanatorium, and walked quickly-the person he really was looking for should have been Keep it there.

"Go in!" Xiaosao saw through his intentions, his voice raised unconsciously, "Don't be impulsive."

Shijin ignored it, rushed into the deepest building, avoided all the caregivers with his agile hands, and came to the floor where the patient was. He quickly glanced over one room after another.

"Jin Jin, can you stop, OK, please." Xiao Death was already about to cry.

Shijin still didn't answer, and quickly found the ward on this floor and walked to the next floor.

"Jin Jin, don't do this..." Xiao Di's voice cried.

Shijin realized that his body suddenly became heavy, he finally stopped, and said in a deep voice, "Remove the buff."

"Go in, let's go back, baby is still waiting to meet you again." Little Death begged.

"Remove." Shijin repeated, "Don't force me to lock you up."

This is a threat. Even if Xiaodie never said it, Shijin can still follow the details of the progress bar increase every time after Xiaodie is locked in a small black room. It is speculated that as long as Xiaodie’s consciousness is turned off, he will be affected. Brushing the buff will passively break this kind of thing.

There is no way to die, so he can only remove the buff from him and continue to persuade him.

Shijin was completely indifferent and continued to move forward. Finally, he found what he wanted in a ward in the deepest part of the inpatient department. With the lights on in the ward, looking in from the observation window, you can see a woman in a hospital gown sitting at the table with her head down and reading a book.

Reading? It's really leisurely.

Shijin sneered, opened the door rudely, and strode closer in the astonishment that the woman was looking at. He took out the gun in his pocket, put her brow on top, and opened the safety catch.

"Long time no see, Xu Jie." He smiled, full of malice.

Xu Jie slowly widened her eyes and looked at him incredulously.

"I heard that you are really crazy?" Shijin tapped her on the forehead with a gun, and looked at her up and down. "It seems that your old friend took good care of you. The way you are now, you are really old. It's ugly."

After being detained for so long and being tortured by the spirit of the nurses back then, Xu Jie has long lost her original exquisite elegance. She has grown older for more than ten years, her body has become bloated, her skin is pale and loose, and her face has long scars. The facial features were slightly distorted, his eyes were muddy and apathetic, and his hair was frizzy and gray, and he was completely like an old lady.

"Shi Jin." Xu Jie gritted her teeth, her eyes turned stern and hatred, "It's you."

"It's me, I'm here to kill you." Shijin's finger touched the trigger, and his eyes became hateful. "Everyone can be forgiven, whether they are brothers, their mothers, everyone. Each has its own difficulties, each has its own compelling reasons, and some are even victims... They are just not worthy to be mothers, and you, you are the worst evil!"

Xu Jie tilted her neck back, not afraid of his threats, and cursed: "You damn wild species. You dare not do it, Wei Chong will not allow it."

"Wild species? You are right. Not only me, but the children of the Shi family are all wild species." Shijin touched the trigger finger and slowly pressed down, almost bleeding from hatred in his eyes. "We would rather have no parents and do Wild species that are naturally raised do not want to have a father like Shi Xingrui and a mother like you."

There was a running sound from the corridor outside. Xu Jie smiled and said: "You are wrong, my son needs me, he will protect me."

"Really." Shijin laughed and pressed the trigger hard, "Unfortunately, the eldest brother will not be your son anymore, he is just my brother."

Seeing that he was really going to do something, Xu Jie finally panicked, hurriedly raised her hand to push his arm, and said, "No, you can't—"

boom.

Those years of being tortured by darkness, so many days of suffering and waiting for death, the hatred and unwillingness accumulated in my heart day by day, it seemed that they were all shot out with this shot.

puff.

The heart seems to have leaked a hole, and the swelling maliciousness hidden in it pouring out, as if to take the soul out.

"No!" Xiao Di screamed.

Shi Wei Chong rushed into the ward with sweat, and watched Shi Jin withdraw his gun, and then Xu Jie leaned back. He was dumbfounded and almost fell to the ground, saying: "Xiao Jin, what have you done..."

"She's dead..." Shijin turned to look at him, and threw the gun aside, "... in my heart. Brother, I take revenge."

Cang Dang.

Xu Jie turned over the chair and fell to the ground, covering her forehead and gasping for breath, her body trembling uncontrollably, and she was obviously frightened.

Shi Weichong was taken aback, then hurriedly rushed past Shijin towards Xu Jie, helped her up from the ground, looked towards Shijin, and said, "Xiaojin, you... do you still hate me?"

"I don't hate you." Shi Jin put his hand in his pocket, looked at him sideways, glanced at him, and hated Xu Jie who was looking at him. He tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "Big brother, Xu Jie is not crazy at all, she Lie to you, she was still calling me wild species just now."

Xu Jie's expression changed and she hurriedly lowered her head.

Shi Weichong was stunned again, and then suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Jie.

Xu Jie hurriedly acted mad, trembling and talking nonsense.

Shi Weichong frowned, his expression slowly hardened—the look in Xu Jie’s eyes just now did not seem to be crazy...

"I know, you want to stay here, part of the reason is to take care of Xu Jie, she is so pitiful, crazy and miserable..." Shijin withdrew his eyes, clenched his fists in his pockets, "But brother, she is ruining her. For the second half of your life, no, she may be trying to draw you back and let you deal with me... I am too tired, I don’t want to be so tired anymore, I just took revenge, so I don’t hate you anymore, I forgive you , Brother, you are free." After speaking, he walked out.

Shi Weichong's heart was tense, and he hurriedly released Xu Jie, got up and wanted to pull him, and said anxiously: "Xiao Jin, where are you going? I, I will make you noodles..."

Shijin avoided his hand and said without looking back: "Brother, take a good look at your mother's appearance, don't delay your own life for her, if you see clearly, then this year's reunion dinner... I'll wait You." After speaking, walk away quickly.

Shi Weichong wanted to chase after taking a step, calling out: "Small Jin, Xiao Jin!"

"Don't go, don't chase that wild species!" Xu Jie suddenly grabbed Shi Weichong's leg and said fiercely, "He wants to kill me! Did you see that he wants to kill me, Wei Chong, he wants to kill your mother!"

Shi Weichong stopped passively, looked down at her, and met her hostile and murderous eyes. After he couldn't believe it, his eyes became a little desperate and said, "Mom, you are really lying to me... "

Xu Jie's heart was tight, thinking that she had been seen through, she just continued to sell miserably and said: "I just want to get close to you. You didn't want to see me at first... Wei Chong, I also want to survive, and Shi Jin is so bad, he Keeping us closed, ruining my face, sending someone to torture me, forcing you to surrender Ruixing, and now you want to kill me! Wei Chong, he wants to kill me! Do you see what he was just now? You are mine Son, you have to avenge me and kill that wild species for me!"

One bite and one wild species, all are accusations, without realizing their own problems at all.

Shi Weichong shook his head and looked at the unreasonable, distorted and unfamiliar woman in front of him. The last hope in his eyes finally died out. He bent over and pulled her hand away, saying, "No."

"What?" Xu Jie looked up at him.

"Before you repent, I will no longer be your son. You...you are fine with yourself." Shi Weichong suppressed his emotions, turned his head and stopped looking at her, walked to the side, picked up the gun on the ground, and walked out. .

Xu Jie was stunned, then went crazy and screamed: "No! You are not allowed to go! Wei Chong, you are my son, you have to listen—"

boom!

The door of the ward was closed and locked. Xu Jie stopped calling and slumped on the ground, recalling what had just happened, she couldn't help but screamed and pulled her hair, and said madly: "No! It's not like this! Wei Chong, you have clearly turned to me again... Shi Jin , You ruined everything! You devil! I want to kill you!"

Shi Jin came to the back of the sanatorium by the mountain and the sea, standing on the edge of the fenced cliff, took out his clenched hands from his pockets, and slowly unfolded his palms.

A bullet lay quietly in his palm. It was originally the bullet he was about to shoot into Xu Jie's mind.

"Go in." The little death called to him and said, "The progress bar starts to drop..."

"I know." Shijin replied, looking at the bullet for a few seconds, then suddenly backed up two steps, raised his hand, and threw the bullet towards the sea.

The cliff was a little high, Shijin couldn't hear the sound of the bullet falling into the sea. He looked at the gentle surging sea and said, "Little death, I won."

Little death: "Jin Jin..."

"I won." He looked down at the ring on his finger, his eyes quieted a little bit, "The adoptive parents and Lian Jun like me like this... I won, and everything is over."

Xiao Wang resisted the desire to cry, and said, "Well, you won, and Jin Jin is the most powerful."

Shijin laughed meaninglessly, then slowly lost his expression, lowered his head, sat on the grass, raised his hand and hugged his head.

"I really want to kill Xu Jie." He suddenly said, "There are also Fei Lin, Rong Xili, Xiang Qing... They are not worthy of being mothers. How can financial resources be more important than children? Everyone obviously can not be so hard... They are all to blame, they are all. I'm so unwilling, why only I can remember everything, and why." He slowly grabbed his hair, and slowly loosened it, "But no... It's hard to kill them. People who are a little happier will be in pain again... I don’t want that."

Xiao Death said: "Jin Jin, I am proud of you."

Shijin's eyes became a little hollow, and for a long time, he whispered: "But... I'm so tired."

The night breeze was blowing gently, and Shi Weichong did not know when he appeared behind Shi Jin. He stood for a while, then came to Shijin and sat down with him.

"Xiao Jin, thank you."

Shijin did not move.

"Sorry."

Shijin finally moved. He put down his hands, looked down at the turf under his feet, and said, "I've pried your cabinet, I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Shi Weichong replied, raising his hand to touch his head, "You are just working too hard."

Shijin didn't avoid his hands, put his arms on his knees, bent over and put his head on, looking at the dark sea, and said, "Brother, watch the sunrise with me."

"Okay." Shi Wei Chong responded, taking off his coat and putting it on him.

Shijin returned it to him disgustingly, and moved a little aside.

Shi Weichong was stunned, then lowered his eyebrows, put on his coat again, and moved to his side.

Shi Jin did not hide, and continued to look at the sea.

The progress bar dropped little by little, at a slow to grind speed.

Shi Jin looked at the sea, combing through his memories bit by bit, from childhood, to adolescence, to near death, to another warm life, and then back here, met Xiao Di, met Lian Jun...

When the night was deepest, he suddenly asked in his heart: "Little death, when did you lodge on me?"

After a little death, he replied: "After you were disfigured... Sorry, I watched you go to the most tragic ending and did not lend a helping hand. At that time, I wanted to learn more about your background before sending you away. In the end, not only was there no new discovery at all, but it also caused you pain for so long."

"So early..." Shijin smiled, buried the lower half of his face in his arms, and curled his eyes. "I can understand what you think. Needless to say, I'm sorry... It's great, the most painful time, I I didn't spend it alone, you still stayed with me. Little death, thank you."

There was a sudden drop in the progress bar, Xiao Death realized something, and was silent for a while, desperately suppressing the desire to cry, and said: "No...Jin Jin, I am very happy to be with you for so long."

"Me too." Shijin closed his eyes.

Shi Jin thought of the original Lian Jun, his eyes were dead, his body was so bad that he would feel uncomfortable after a few more mouthfuls of food, and his temper didn't look good... Then he remembered the two annoying words. Gua one, Gua three that seems to be steady but occasionally skinny, Gua five that is calm and reliable, Gua nine that is sleepy and good-tempered, Uncle Long with a poisonous mouth and soft heart... Finally, he thought of Li Jiuzheng, whose smile gradually increased. , Rong Zhouzhong, who gradually wiped out the thorns all over his body, Xiang Aoting with a warmer breath, Fei Yujing who tried to learn to open his heart... In the end, he thought of his adoptive parents.

He even thought of Shi Xingrui, who was actually very nice to him.

After all, there is more beauty than suffering. There is nothing to be unwilling to do, everyone is happy.

Shi Jin opened his eyes, looked at the white fish belly that appeared on the horizon, and called out, "Big Brother."

"Huh?" Shi Weichong looked at him sideways.

"I really forgive you." He turned his head to look at Shi Weichong, and met his gaze, "So you forgive yourself, the ancestors said, if you know your mistakes, you will be a good boy. We all change. Let go of the wrong place, okay?"

Shi Weichong's eye sockets were a little red, his Adam's apple moved, and he tried to show him a smile, and said in a dumb voice: "Okay... OK. Thank you, Xiao Jin."

Shi Jin laughed, and leaned forward and gave him a hug.

The progress bar finally dropped back to 20, and then after a few flashes, it didn't get stuck, and it continued to fall.

The little death couldn't help crying, and said, "Go in..."

"I'm here." Shijin replied, letting go of Shi Weichong, and looking at the sun slowly fading away at the end of the sea level. He smiled, but his eyes were still red. Save the world, so you can definitely come back to find me, right?"

"I don't know, Jinjin... I love you."

Shijin laughed at the corners of his mouth: "I love you too... I'm sorry, but I've never been able to do it when I promised to introduce you to Lian Jun."

"No, it's okay... It's okay..."

The value of the progress bar became less and less, and soon reached the single digit. As the progress bar went down, Shijin only felt that the cry of a small death in his mind became more and more blurred. He tightened his heart, raised his arms and hugged himself, put his face on his arms, and whispered. Said: "Don't cry, little death, I can't hear you clearly."

Shi Weichong found that something was wrong with him, frowned and put his shoulders on him, and asked worriedly, "Xiao Jin, what's the matter with you?"

Shi Jin didn't speak, but focused on catching Xiao Di's voice.

8, 7, 6... 3, 2, 1...

Little Death's crying became sometimes and absent, and the progress bar began to flash wildly. Finally, the progress bar returned to zero, and Xiao Death's cry suddenly weakened.

No…

Shijin refused silently, hugging his hands so hard that they turned pale.

"...Into..."

Xiao Death's voice suddenly reappeared, Shijin was taken aback, then suddenly raised his head, and tried to hear it clearly by covering his ears to isolate the noise from the outside world.

"I... leave... a special... gift... don't... goodbye."

After a vague and intermittent sentence, Xiao Death's voice completely disappeared, the progress bar stopped flashing, and after a two-second pause, it dissipated like smoke.

Shijin's body and expression froze together, and after repeated trials, he found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see the progress bar in his brain like before. After hearing Xiaodee's voice, his lips tightened slightly, and tears slowly overflowed. With eyes full, he lowered his head and pressed his face on his arm.

goodbye.

He said silently, hoping that he was only dreaming now.

Goodbye...bye bye.

"What's wrong with you, Xiao Jin? Xiao Jin?" Shi Wei Chong was frightened by his series of inexplicable behaviors. He hurriedly put on his shoulders and touched his head anxiously, trying to lift his head up.

Shi Jin hugged himself tightly, unwilling to look up.

Both of them focused on their eyes, and did not hear a footstep slowly approaching.

In the end, the footsteps stopped behind the two of them, and a hand reached Shi Weichong's eyes, and then gently fell on Shi Jin's head and rubbed gently.

"Shijin." A familiar voice sounded.

Shijin's crying abruptly stopped, stiffened for a while, and didn't move.

Shi Wei Chong was stunned, followed this hand to look at his master, then frowned, then looked down at Shi Jin who was unwilling to raise his head, slowly retracted his hand on Shi Jin's head, got up and backed away.

"Shijin." The voice of the visitor rang again, with caution and gentleness, "Look at me."

The temperature on the head, the sound in the ears, all this is so clear that it can never be an illusion.

His heartbeat speeded up slowly, and Shi Jin finally raised his head and looked at the sound coming from with a pair of red eyes.

Lian Jun stood behind him, exhausted from the long journey. He bent over to help Shijin wiped his tears, and asked, "Why are you crying? I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting for so long. I'm here to pick you up."

"Lian..." Shi Jin's mouth opened, tears oozing out again, and suddenly he got up and hugged him, tightly wrapped around his shoulders, wishing to bite him, and said bitterly, "It's gone, it left me Now... Why are you so slow, why don't you come earlier."

Lian Jun returned to hug him contentedly, put his head to his side, sighed and said, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry."

"Why are you still so thin..." Shijin didn't know what he was talking about. He only felt that his empty heart had finally fallen to the ground. He tightened his strength even more, and his nose became sore. In this warm embrace, he indulged himself. Release all emotions.

At the end of the sea horizon, the sun finally jumped out of the sea. Shi Weichong was bathed in the morning sun, watching Lian Jun and Shijin hugging each other, let out a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt relieved.

That's it... A new day has finally arrived.
