Doomed Destiny - C70
Outside, the sky was completely dark. There’s electricity tonight. After all, there would be electricity in the countryside for the next few days. Under the dim light of the incandescent lamp, Er Nengdan sat on a chair and held the county magistrate’s child in his lap. With a proud expression on his face, he said: “Big bro, I’ve already sent someone to find a wife for you! It was from Wang Zhai Village. I heard that the girl is one of the best in this area! “You should dress properly tomorrow and go on a blind date!”
I said, “Second Brother, I really have to trouble you!”
“Don’t say such kind words, we’re all family! Rest assured, I will definitely hold your wedding ceremony for you! This broken house in our family will be torn down after the new year. I’ll build a new house for you! ” Er Nengdan said.
I was so moved that my nose ached and I felt like crying. He blamed himself in his heart. Such a good brother, yet I am going to let him down and end his future.
But what choice did I have! I don’t belong to this era. What was the purpose of my visit!
For the dead lover, Xu Xiaru. I can’t stand another girl.
But I didn’t know how to reject Second Brother’s good will at the moment. I can only wait until tomorrow to see that girl, then I’ll just say that I don’t like her and just push the marriage over.
Er Nengdan took out the roasted chicken and wine and let me eat by myself. He was neither hungry nor sleepy, so he went to bed first. He also reminded me to watch over Xiao Jun. If Xiao Jun makes a mistake and falls asleep, don’t forget to carry him to bed. I nodded and said go to sleep.
Under the light, Xiao Jun was reading a fairy tale book. I sat at the table, poured myself a glass of wine, and ate the roast chicken. Asking Xiao Jun if he wanted to eat meat. He said, “Uncle, you eat first. When I’m hungry, I’ll take out something to eat myself.” I looked at him strangely and said how he had become so understanding.
Xiao Jun moved the children’s story book closer to him and pointed to a cartoon character on it. “Uncle, this Prince Charming looks like you. So Prince Charming looks just like you. It’s tall and handsome! ”
It turned out the child was the person in the book who had taken a liking to me. Such a naive and innocent child’s heart. But to be honest, the pictures in the book and I looked really alike, eighty to ninety percent of the time. It seems to have been drawn by me. Even I couldn’t help but ask in surprise: “Xiao Jun, is this Prince Charming a good person or a bad person?”
“Good man!” Very good! He is a chivalrous knight in poverty relief. He had fallen out with his father for the sake of the happiness of the people! He is my idol, and I adore him! I want to be such a character when I grow up! For the sake of the happiness of the commoners, I can also have a falling out with my father, the county governor! ” The county magistrate’s child boasted boldly.
I froze, my eyes watering, and I almost burst into tears.
“Uncle, you must also be a good person! Because you look like a good person! I apologize for what I did during the day. Uncle, I’m sorry! ” The county sheriff’s kid stood up and bowed to me.
I couldn’t help but cry. My nose felt sore and sore as I took a deep breath of the cold air, turned my head around and wiped the tears off my face. Uncle will not blame you. If you know your wrongs, you can change it. ”
“Uncle, I’ve angered you!” I was wrong! ”
I got up from my stool and walked out into the yard, enduring the cold wind, and looked up at the starry sky, tears streaming down my face.
“What should I do?”
“What should I do?!”
I am a man, after all.
Man is the animal with the richest emotions!
Virtue!
Late at night, I returned to the main room. Xiao Jun had already fallen asleep on the table, sparkling and translucent tears still hung on his face. Did he shed tears of remorse?
I carried him to bed. Just as he was about to cover him with the blanket … However, he suddenly realized that Er Nengdan’s face was filled with tears, his lips were twitching, and he had spoken in his sleep: “Father, mother! Don’t leave me! I’m so scared! When can I wait for my brother! “Father, mother, don’t go! …”
For a split-second, my heart broke and tears welled up again.
He was like a lonely child. Only then did I remember that Er Nengdan, who looked so lustful on the outside, had already lost his parents when he was a few years old.
“Dad, mom, do you know that big brother is back!?” I made money, too. I will make up for the debt you owe your big brother. Don’t feel guilty every day, don’t cry every day okay? I look at the good heartache so sad! Father, mother, don’t worry. I will let big brother live a happy life … ”
Er Nengdan started to cry. He was still lost in his dream.
“Father, Mother, I was wrong!” I shouldn’t have slapped my brother’s face! But I can’t help it! I can’t lose this job! I was afraid to go back to poverty, hunger, and cold. I hit my brother in the face, I feel pain in my heart, but I can’t help it! I can’t lose this job, I was wrong … ”
I couldn’t stand it any longer. I ran out of the hall and found a corner in the yard. I covered my mouth with my hands and started to wail.
He didn’t know how long he cried for.
The wind dried his tears.
I made a decision: I would open the fourth page of the book.
Looking at the contents of the third page of the book, “This time I killed the wrong person! The next time he saw a ten-year old child armed with a red cannon, he would kill him again! After completing the task, he would flip to the fourth page. If anyone dares to flip through the fourth page before completing the mission, the transaction between us will be null and void! ” My hands, which were holding the book, trembled so badly that the book almost fell out of my hands.
I gritted my teeth so hard that they almost shattered. I lifted a hand that felt like it weighed more than ten thousand pounds, gripped the corner of the page, and slowly opened it.
For a moment my mind was blank. The fourth page was also blank.
There was suddenly a clap of thunder in the clear night sky, and an incomparably bright bolt of lightning streaked across the sky. The page seemed to have gained a strong life force as it broke free from my fingertips and returned to the third page.
The content on the third page had changed. “Jin Shile, do you want to break the contract!? On account of you making mistakes due to kindness, I’ll give you a warning! If you dare to turn over the next page without completing the task on the page, the transaction between us will cease to be valid! Furthermore, you will also die and turn into ashes! ”
A long time passed.
I went back into the hall. Er Nengdan had already woken up, and was sitting on a chair, but his eyes were sleepy. Seeing me come in, he smiled apologetically: “Brother, look at me. I’ve been too busy sleeping that I forgot that this is the only bed at home! And no other quilts or mattresses! Put it on the bed and go to sleep! I’m going to sleep in the car! ” He stood up and prepared to leave.
I held out my hand to stop him. “I’m not sleepy. You should go to bed. It’s so cold outside, and the car is freezing. ”
“I forgot to buy quilts and beds!”
“Listen to brother, go sleep on the bed!”
“Brother, let’s go to bed together!” You’re on one end, I’m on the other! This bed was originally a double bed between our parents! We’re brothers, who would still mind whose feet stink! ”
“Alright!”
Two, no, three, huddled together in a bed on a cold winter night. Warm!
I don’t know why, but as I lay on the bed, my mood gradually changed. It was as if I had experienced true kinship. This feeling was something that he had never felt before, when he lived in a building. Though my parents were kind to me when I lived in the building. But I always felt there was an invisible barrier between us. It was as if he could not reach the closest of kin, whose blood was dissolved in water.
I feel like we are blood-related brothers who can live and die together with Er Nengdan, who is tightly pressed together on the same bed.
Perhaps it was because I hadn’t gone to my parents’ bed when I was living in the building.
Gradually, I dozed off.
Slowly, I opened my eyes. He found himself lying in bed. Was it not already dawn? Why was it still so dark? There was no Er Nengdan by my side, nor was there Xiao Jun, the son of the county elder.
The situation was clear to me. Not the dugout house. It was a low, narrow concrete house. Not even a window.
There’s someone standing by the bed. I don’t know him.” I couldn’t even see what his face looked like. He was dressed in a white coat and a white hat, and a mask was on his face. A pair of eyes were watching me.
I found myself with a needle in the back of my hand and a glass bottle of liquid in it. He was giving me an IV drip.
“You’re so hungry! His body was in a terrible condition! There are signs of kidney failure! ” said the man in the white coat.
“What’s my name?” I asked.
“Jin Shi! Your number is on it! ”
“Where is the person who delivered the food? Why didn’t you bring me any food? “How can he starve a prisoner to death!” I was furious.
“The person who delivered the food was bribed by the outsiders, so he purposely didn’t send you any food. His goal was to starve you to death! I’ve been caught by the police and the person who delivered the food has already been expelled! ” said the man in the white coat.
“Who is it? Who wants me to die? ” I was angrier.
“I’m not going to say anything else. If I say it, I’m afraid I’ll anger you. Your current physical condition is not suitable for you to be angry!”
“Speak!” “It’s fine!”
After a moment of silence, the man in the white coat sighed again. “Your mother bribed the man who delivered the food! Your mother wants you dead! ”
“Is my mother called Chao Xixi?”
“Yes!”
“Why would she do that?”
“I don’t know!” Maybe they find you a disgrace to their ancestors! ”
I stopped talking.
Jindan, the hump on your back grew even larger. A lot of them had popped out from the edges of the surrounding area … Tooth! They look like teeth, and I’ll call them teeth! ” “The man in the white coat said.
After several days of continuous infusions and recuperation. My health began to recover. He could get up and walk, but he could also eat now. His body was getting fatter bit by bit.
However, my mood didn’t improve. It was always at the lowest point. It was as if he had become incapable of laughing. Most of the time, I think about that dream.
I always think. If the dream went on. Would Jin Shile really kill the child of the County Elder? The blind Hu Shizhen had already taken the rat poison, would she die from the poison? What I am most concerned about is that Second Brother Jin Yunshan. His loyalty and sincerity moved me. Ruo Mengmeng will continue, I hope he can have a good future!
Another period of time passed. Returning from the outside to my cell, I received a document: Judgment in the Court.
Name: Jin Shi, Han, Male, born in 1985. The outcome of the Supreme Court trial: death penalty, no delay, immediate execution. Method of execution: Shooting. Date of implementation: 18 December 2006.
