The days in Wuyuan passed quickly.
A week passed in the blink of an eye. Almost every day, I went hiking with Tang Yun in the morning, drank tea and chatted in the afternoon, watched variety shows in the evening, and then got drunk during the supper, and had a good night's sleep.
…
The eighth day in Wuyuan, early morning.
Finally, I decided to go online and take a look.
The system was updated and the characters were read successfully.
"Uh-huh!"
The characters appeared in the rebuilt Tianfeng City, and on the big map in the north, a new main city was under construction. It was the rebuilt White Deer City. The scale was exactly the same as before, but the reconstruction time was a little longer. In the game The transformation of resources needs to follow economic laws, so the reconstruction and resource refreshing of Bailu City almost all require equal exchange. Resources are constantly extracted from the Divine Elephant City and Qingguang City. At the same time, the national server officials also need to invest a large amount of funds, resources, etc. .
Taking a look at my friends list, I have more than a thousand unread emails, most of which are messages of comfort.
And in it, my eyes lit up and I found a familiar ID. It was a voicemail from Shanyou Fusu. The incident sent was 20 days ago, and he hadn't left at that time!
Could it be that... this is a scheduled email? This is indeed the case.
I clicked on the email and confirmed the playback. The next moment, Shanyou Fusu’s voice echoed in my ears like a dream—
"Brother Xi, I'm sorry."
"I don't know what mood I should use to talk to you, so I can only choose to escape."
"Brother Xi, my body is getting worse day by day. I can feel that my life is constantly draining away rapidly. I know this feeling very well, and now, I know that she is waiting for me on the other side of the sky. , so I... am even looking forward to this moment."
"It's just that I'm not willing to give in. Brother Xi, you have always been my brother. When Bailu City was besieged, how could you be so cruel and cruel to watch the brothers and sisters you talked about being wiped out under the iron hoof of the enemy?"
"I know that you are thinking about everyone, and you are a good alliance leader, but... But Brother Xi, why are you so cruel."
"I'm sorry, I was too willful this time. I have no room to look back."
"I'm sorry, Brother Xi, you will always be my best, best, and best brother. I will pray for you at the end of the world. May you be safe and happy, and no longer suffer any grievances or be in dilemma."
…
With a "beep" sound, the voice playback is completed.
But I collapsed and sat down on the cold marble floor of Tianfeng City's East Square. Tears fell involuntarily. At this time, Fusu still used three "best" to describe my elder brother. Is it really worthy? Was it my selfishness that drove him to a dead end? Was it my cowardice that left him no choice
Am I worthy of being his big brother
Just like Fusu said, I am too cruel and too rational, which makes me not like myself, or even like a person.
He suddenly confirmed that he was offline and desperately took off his gaming helmet.
I ran to the bathroom, turned on the faucet and splashed water on my face to calm myself down.
Not long after, Tang Yun also went offline. She heard the movement and appeared behind me, saying quietly: "Brother Xi, what's wrong with you? Did... something happened again?"
"fine."
I shook my head and said, "I haven't been online for a long time. I feel a little uncomfortable. I won't go online today. Yun'er, you can level up by yourself."
"No, I'll accompany you."
"Thank you… "
I stepped forward, hugged her tightly, and said: "Yun'er, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I love you... I really love you, but I... But I..."
"I know."
She hugged me tightly and said, "I will always be by your side, okay?"
"Um."
I slowly let go of her and said, "Suddenly, I feel like eating candied chestnuts..."
She couldn't help but smile: "Why do you suddenly have an appetite? In this case, I will go out and buy it for you?"
"Hmm, I should have bought it myself, but... I'm too sad and my legs and feet are inconvenient, so I can only aggrieve my wife, hahaha~~~"
"Hmph, you big slacker."
She put on her beautiful coat and said, "I'm going to go then. You boil some water and make me a cup of black tea."
"Okay, I have an order!"
…
She went downstairs.
I stood on the balcony and looked at her back. I couldn't help but burst into tears. I felt unspeakable reluctance, but the depression in my heart made it impossible to think or make any decision.
After Tang Yun walked far away, she quickly went downstairs, went to the store, bought an iron basin, and then bought a pile of charcoal for making fire here. Then she returned to the room, sealed all the windows in the room, turned off the air conditioner and After turning on the alarm, putting charcoal in the basin, lighting a fire, and then sat in front of the TV with his knees in his arms.
I had no choice. Those nightmares and self-blame were like a mountain, weighing me down. I originally didn’t believe there was such a thing as depression, but at this moment I really understand that sometimes , dying is really easier than living.
Soon, the room was filled with steam.
It became difficult to breathe, and my brain felt a little dizzy. I knew that this was a sign of carbon monoxide poisoning. Soon after, I started to sweat all over my body, and my limbs became weak. At this time, even if I wanted to It is no longer possible to stand up and open the window or door by yourself.
"Fusu..."
Looking up at the ceiling, I murmured a smile: "I'm sorry, I failed to protect my siblings, and I failed to protect you. It was my elder brother's cowardice that let you down. Now, I'm here to atone for my sins, and I'm here to see you." Now, I’m going to kill the dragon. We can really cook the dragon meat and eat it together this time..."
At this time, his consciousness began to blur and he was about to fall into a deep sleep.
It feels so good to die.
Everything is freed...
…
My mind went blank, but I don't know how long it took before I heard Tang Yun's screams and the sound of her struggling to push open the doors and windows. When I opened my eyes, I saw her crying into tears. , just sitting in front of me.
"Yun'er..." I was so weak that I couldn't move.
"Asshole...you bastard!"
While crying, she said loudly: "I felt something was wrong, and it turned out like this when I came back... If you just leave like this, what will I... What should I do? You want... you want to leave me alone in a A strange place? What should I do in the future... What should I do in the future? You let me... You let me... "
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." I burst into tears: "I really can't pass this test in my heart, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Tears blurred my vision, and I murmured: "At the beginning, when we opened the gate of life and death, you said that life and death are two sides, and life and death are connected together. I didn't think so at the time, but I didn't expect that it was true."
She looked at me, gritted her teeth, and said: "Ding Muchen! My brother Xi, after your death, you are worthy of Lin Su, but what about me? Are you worthy of me? Are you worthy of Sister Xiran? Are you worthy of Chengcheng? So many people who love you are waiting for you to cheer up, but you choose to give up. I know you are in pain, but... seeing you so sad, do you know that I feel even more sad? "
"I'm sorry, Yun'er..."
I leaned against the wall with tears streaming down my face: "I'm sorry... I couldn't save Sister Yiran back then, and now, I can't save Fusu either. I don't know what use a person like me has... "
"you… "
She gritted her teeth and said: "This is not your responsibility at all. The people who indirectly killed him were the bastards of the organizing committee, not you. Now that you are gone, who will seek justice for Lin Su? Do you think you will leave like this? Does it count as atonement? If you leave now, who will accompany me in the future, and who will I spend my life with in the future? If you leave, who will care for your father in his old age? If you leave, Beichen So many people have really become a mess. Who can guide them in the future? If you leave, and people like Jian Mo, Lin Che, Wang Jinhai, and Qing Yan quarrel, who can convince them? If you leave, Sister Xiran , Chengcheng was bullied, who can protect them? If you leave... "
"sorry Sorry… "
I held her hand tightly, trembling all over: "I was blinded for a moment, and I couldn't bear it for a moment. I'm sorry... I'm really sorry, Yun'er... "
Her eyes were red and tears kept falling: "Now, do you still want to commit suicide by burning charcoal?"
"I don't want to... I don't want to..."
I rushed forward and hugged her tightly: "It was you who woke me up by scolding me. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
"Fusu is in heaven, and he definitely doesn't want to see such pain. Brother Xi, cheer up..."
"Well, I will definitely cheer up... Yun'er, don't cry either."
She knelt on the ground, tears rolling down her eyes, and looked at me with her beautiful eyes: "Do you know? You scared me... I almost lost you, I..."
"sorry Sorry… "
"Okay, let's tidy up the room..."
"Um."
…
Not long after, the innkeeper rushed upstairs and looked at this place, dumbfounded: "You... what are you doing?"
"It's okay, it's okay, boss." Tang Yun said.
"Why is this room in such a mess..." The boss frowned and said, "The walls and ceiling are all smoked. This... I'm afraid... Do you want to burn charcoal? No, this room can't be used by you. Please pay compensation and then move out. Well, this room has been made unclean by you!"
"Boss, what do you mean unclean?" Tang Yun frowned and asked.
"What do you think? You dare to burn charcoal in the room? Do you think this house can still be considered a clean house?"
"nonsense!"
Tang Yun was very angry: "You can ask us to move out, but why do you say that the room is not clean? Did you brush your teeth this morning? Why is the room not clean? Tell me clearly!"
The boss frowned: "Hurry up and get your things, pay the compensation you deserve, and let's go!"
"I won't compensate you."
Tang Yun stood up and said calmly: "How much does your B&B cost in total? I'll buy it all."
"you… "
…
In the end, Tang Yun spent 24 million to buy all the B&Bs in this small area. I was a little speechless. I just bought a B&B just to save my breath. However, Tang Yun did not lack this little money.
"What are you unhappy about?" She, now a store owner, asked me with a smile.
"I'm not unhappy, I just feel like it's a waste of money." I said.
"Who said that."
She pursed her lips and smiled: "In the future, this place can be used as our base for traveling and dating. We come here every spring when the rapeseed flowers bloom. We have our own store and can stay whenever we want. How great!"
"It makes sense, then I'll invest half of the shares."
"Okay, thank you boss~~~"
