Xie Mu's hand landed on the coffin that was still covered with dirt.
Damp, is the smell of the underground.
Xie Shi stood aside and looked at him.
The man he called his uncle had always had good-looking hands.
The ten fingers are slender and fair, and because of the lack of blood all year round, they are a little pale, but the round nails are also a touch of flesh pink.
When he was on the bed, Xie Shi loved to hold these beautiful and seemingly weak hands, kissed them gently, and looked at the beautiful eyes on Xie Mu's face that were distracted and forced himself to wake up.
And now, that hand fell on Xie Nanen's coffin.
The funny thing is, there is nothing in the coffin.
Xie Shi stood beside Xie Mu, looking at the man with a pale face, staring blankly inside, his appearance that could barely speak made his desire rise from the bottom of his heart, like a giant beast dormant in the abyss, eager to try Want to jump out of the hidden boundaries.
The cold fingertips slid across the grain of the coffin under his hand, and Xie Mu looked around it again and again.
"Don't worry about it, uncle, this is indeed the coffin used to bury my father."
Xie Shi held his hand, the man's expression was still blank, he didn't even struggle, and just let Xie Shi move.
"I know… "
After a while, he seemed to squeeze out the words from his throat.
The originally gentle and elegant voice was now extremely obscure and full of bitterness, almost inaudible. If Xie Shi hadn't stayed by Xie Mu's side all the time, he really couldn't hear what he was saying.
"At first..."
Xie Mu looked at the coffin in front of him, and said in a daze, "I saw my elder brother being put into it with my own eyes. He closed his eyes and was wearing dark golden clothes. I saw it with my own eyes..."
He closed his eyes in pain, his long eyelashes trembling, and he didn't open them for a while, but asked in a shy voice, "Xie Shi, what the hell are you playing?"
The young man smiled, but his voice was still clear, "What are you talking about? I don't have that much ability."
"Then what do you want to say!!"
Xie Mu, who had always been calm, even weak, suddenly became violent and pushed the person away. His face, which was always clear and calm, and refused to make too much movement even on the bed, was even a little ferocious.
He almost screamed, his eyes were full of resentment, and his voice almost broke, "What do you want to say to me???"
"Are you going to tell me that brother never died, he just lied to me?"
"impossible!!!"
The man firmly held the coffin in front of him with both hands, and tears dripped from his eyes that were always as calm as a lake, "Brother is dead!"
"In my face, with my own eyes, I saw him in a coffin..."
"You lied to me, you lied to me, you must have lied to me..."
Xie Shi's eyes sank, he walked forward slowly, carefully and gently, took Xie Mu's hand off the coffin, and warmed his hand with his own temperature.
"Uncle, this is the first time I have opened this tomb, and my father is not dead, shouldn't you be happy?"
"Didn't you always want to go back to your father and be the young master he protected again? Now that he is not dead, why are you not happy as his relative?"
"Could it be that your so-called respect for your father is just superficial?"
Xie Shi looked at the man in front of him with tears in his eyes who was about to collapse, raised his eyebrows slightly, and continued calmly, "I didn't think that my father was not dead at first, but I found out when I was looking for my uncle. A clue."
"Back then, my uncle didn't see his father dying with his own eyes."
The man who had been staring at him angrily froze.
At first, he really didn't see it.
He still remembered that he was kneeling in front of his elder brother's bed, crying and begging him not to abandon him, his heart throbbing with pain.
Later, he seemed to faint, and when he woke up, his eldest brother had been confirmed dead by the doctor.
Seeing that the man who loved and spoiled him was put into the coffin, Xie Mu cried so hard that he couldn't stand, how could he want to detect whether his elder brother was really dead.
Xie Shi beside him was still talking in a bewitching manner, "Uncle said that you saw your father being put into this coffin with your own eyes, so have you been guarding the coffin since your father was put in?"
Xie Mu's face turned paler.
He murmured, "No..."
"Brother... is he really not dead?"
Xie Shi's smile gradually widened, and his tone was affirmative. He gently supported the man's shoulder, as if holding some treasure, hugged him, feeling his coldness.
"Since my father was not dead at the beginning, there must be a reason why he insisted on pretending to be dead. Uncle, do you know what the reason is?"
Xie Mu shook his head stiffly, his voice was hoarse, "At the beginning, my eldest brother was plotted against by the Xie family. He was shot three times and was rescued all night. The entire Xie family was not safe. I didn't understand anything..."
"But it's my uncle who doesn't understand anything, and has been guarding the Xie family for three years."
"In three years, my uncle has eradicated the rebellious forces of the Xie family, and even annexed half of the Zhang family's assets, which is much better than my father."
Xie Shi smiled, leaned against the man's earlobe, and asked temptingly, "Uncle, you said that father, has he been watching you?"
The man's body became stiffer.
He no longer had the time to think about whether Xie Shi was taking advantage of this, but instead, he put all his eyes on the empty coffin in front of him.
"Brother... Are you looking at me?"
Xie Mu worked hard, trying to elicit a smile, but in the end, this smile was uglier than crying. His eyes were red, obviously tears had already swirled in his eye sockets, and he tried hard not to let it fall.
"But why didn't he show up..."
"I've really missed him all these years. All I dream about is him, but why doesn't he show up..."
"He clearly said that he loves me the most, loves me the most, and will always protect me..."
Xie Shi was the first time to see Xie Mu's completely broken expression.
When he knocked people down on the bed and threatened him to have a relationship with him, Xie Mu always stubbornly looked at him with that kind of indifferent eyes, as if no matter how hard he tried, the people in front of him were all so superior climb.
But now, the hard mask on his face finally fell off, revealing the softness inside.
It's a pity that this softness is not for myself.
It was obviously intentional, but seeing Xie Mu who was sad for Xie Nanen like this, Xie Shi still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He forcibly pressed down and hugged him even tighter.
"Uncle, don't be sad..."
He said, "I will help you find out. Since there is no news of my father for so many years, he must not be in China. I have already found some. Soon, my uncle will see my father."
"only… "
Xie Shi stopped suddenly, with a complicated tone, "I found something, it may be different from my uncle's memory."
Xie Shi's eyes were red, his pupils became slightly clearer, he looked at Xie Shi, and said in a shy voice, "What did you find?"
***
Xie Jia
Xie Mu hasn't had a lot of rest in the past two days, and now he followed Xie Shi back to the cage where he was imprisoned. Of course, his face couldn't look any better. When he sat down again, a pair of legs that were not fully intact It hurts even more.
The man had long been used to this kind of pain, and his expression was always calm, without showing any pain.
The pain in my body is not as severe as the pain in my heart after reading the materials.
Xie Mu stared blankly at the things Xie Shi handed over in front of him, and next to his ears was the voice of the young Qingyue:
"At the beginning, my uncle got the news that my father was plotted against by three parties, the Wang family, the Zhang family, and a branch of our own family."
"But in fact, according to the information I found, the three families did join hands to assassinate my father that day, but my father got the news in advance and bypassed that route."
Xie Mu's face was pale, looking at the evidence in front of him, he didn't move.
"After my father left, my uncle hated these three forces to the bone, annexed half of the Zhang family's property, and frequently became murderous towards the Wang family."
"But actually, these are all within my father's expectations."
With a sunny smile, Xie Shi raised his eyes and looked at the man in front of him.
"Uncle, you seem to have been fooled."
