It was already the second night when Zhang Qiling woke up from his dream. During this period, Li Cu came in several times. Seeing that he had been sleeping, he thought he was tired, so he did not wake him up.
Zhang Qiling put on her shoes and went out. The place where they had dinner yesterday was now empty, with only a few scattered tables still there.
Zhang Qiling felt that he should be quiet at this moment. What happened in the dream made him at a loss. He wanted to think about what to do next. Thinking of this, Zhang Qiling looked ahead, raised his feet and left here.
On the street, Zhang Qiling walked aimlessly. Although it was already dark, there were many vendors on the street. They worked hard to sell their products to passers-by. Pedestrians came and went in a hurry, and occasionally there were some The person stopped and looked at the items on the stall carefully.
Zhang Qiling walked aimlessly like this. A layer of isolation seemed to have formed around him, isolating all the noisy sounds and isolating himself from the world. He could not integrate into this world for once. world.
You are the existence that the world wants to destroy. The words Xuying said before appeared in his ears again. Zhang Qiling looked deeply confused. He subconsciously called 817 in his heart, but the answer was a long silence.
"Brother!" A child ran over and hugged Zhang Qiling's leg, refusing to let go.
Zhang Qiling had no choice but to stop and look down at the little boy hanging on his lap.
The boy raised his head, looked at Zhang Qiling with his big watery eyes, and raised a smile, "Brother!"
The crisp voice rang in Zhang Qiling's ears, pulling Zhang Qiling back from the outside world. Looking at the little boy, Zhang Qiling's eyes blurred. He saw that the little boy's figure and his childhood self began to slowly overlap. , the noisy sounds around him suddenly disappeared, and it seemed that only he and his childhood self were left in the world.
Suddenly, he saw the child Gu You walking from a distance. The child released the hand holding him and ran towards Gu You. He opened his arms and jumped on Gu You to hug him, shouting loudly. elder brother.
Gu You staggered when he hit him, but he still managed to steady him. The little man, who was only half a head taller than Zhang Qiling, after Zhang Qiling got off him and stood still, he touched him first like a little adult. Touch Zhang Qiling's head and tell him not to do such dangerous actions in the future. If he fails to stand firm or catch him, Zhang Qiling will be injured.
Looking at Gu You, who had a gentle face even though he was deliberately stern, Xiao Zhang Qiling shook his head vigorously and retorted loudly: "No, I believe brother will definitely catch me, no." It hurt me!"
Gu You's stern face relaxed. He sighed, hugged Zhang Qiling again, and promised, "I will protect you. With me here, you will be safe and everything will go well."
When the little boy saw that Zhang Qiling was in a daze and didn't speak, he let go of his hand, his mouth dropped, and he looked like he was about to cry: "Brother, why are you ignoring me?"
The memory suddenly stopped and the scene in front of him disappeared. Only the little boy stood in front of him and looked at him aggrievedly. Zhang Qiling was in a daze for a moment, then squatted down, looked at the little boy's level, and reached out to touch him like Gu You did before. The little boy's head, imitating Gu You's appearance, with a gentle smile on his face, said softly: "Kid, you have mistaken the wrong person, I am not your brother."
The little boy was confused by his smile, and the tears in his eyes disappeared. He was stunned for a long time, and then said firmly: "You are my brother. My mother said that my brother is good-looking and gentle. You are the same as what my mother said, You are my brother!"
Zhang Qiling was stunned and asked with a dumbfounded smile: "You can even admit that your brother is wrong. Do you really have a brother?"
"I have a brother. My mother told me that my brother went to a far away place and it will take a long time to come back. Although I have never seen him, you look just like the brother my mother told me. You are me." Brother." The little boy looked at Zhang Qiling as if he recognized him.
Hearing the little boy's words, Zhang Qiling's expression froze. He might know where the little boy's brother had gone, but... Zhang Qiling's eyes fell on the little boy's face, "Kid, I'm not your brother. You are still far away and haven’t come back yet. You regard me as your brother. When your brother comes back, he will be sad to see that you have recognized the wrong person."
The little boy was stunned for a moment, frowned and lowered his head to think seriously. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Zhang Qiling, with a look of doubt on his face: "Are you really not my brother?"
Zhang Qiling shook his head, "No."
"Then where is my brother?" the little boy asked.
Zhang Qiling lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, "Your brother and my brother are in the same place now. When the time comes, they will come back."
The little boy smiled happily when he heard this. He tilted his head and looked at Zhang Qiling and asked, "Do you also have a brother? What kind of person is he?"
Zhang Qiling was stunned for a moment, and Gu You's figure appeared in his mind, as well as his always gentle smile. After a long silence, he said: "My brother is gentle and brave, and he has resisted all the bad things in the world for me. , he is like a big hero, always standing in front of me, he is the best and best person in the world."
The little boy's eyes lit up, he opened his mouth and was about to speak when he was interrupted by a voice, "Xiaoyi!"
A woman in her 40s ran over from afar, pulled the little boy to her side, and looked him up and down. Seeing that the little boy was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief and accused him: "Why are you running around? Don't you?" You know how worried I am."
The little boy looked at his mother in front of him, reached out and grabbed her hand, "Mom, I'm fine. I just saw someone who looked very similar to my brother, so I came over to take a look."
After hearing this, the woman noticed Zhang Qiling who had stood up and stayed aside at some point. The woman smiled apologetically at Zhang Qiling and said, "I'm sorry, Xiao Yi wants to see his brother so much. When he sees someone, he I think it’s his brother who is really sorry for causing trouble to you.”
Zhang Qiling shook his head, "It's okay."
Seeing that he was not angry, the woman didn't say anything more. She took the little boy and left. Before leaving, the little boy waved to Zhang Qiling and said, "Brother, don't be unhappy. When your brother comes back and sees that you are unhappy, you won't be happy either." It will be sad.”
