Chapter 14 third quarter

You said the life after?Pursuing things that don't suit me will bring retribution, because of my fault, Emili was killed, if I still live the same life as before the incident, go to school, play with friends, eat snacks, and laugh happily, I will think it should not be. Being in contact with others will bring trouble to them. Even if I don’t associate with others, I worry that my presence will cause trouble to those present. It’s the same when I go to school. I’m worried that if I move, I’ll hit others and hurt others. With this in mind, even when it’s break time, I never leave my seat except to go to the bathroom.

In this way, every morning when I wake up together, I will either have a stomach ache or be physically tired. As time goes by, I will often miss classes. Because of that kind of thing, let me let it go in the fourth grade. My parents and teachers turned a blind eye to my absenteeism.By the fifth grade, everyone thought it should be back to normal. Although it happened in this town, people who had nothing to do with it seemed to have forgotten it after half a year. At this time, the person who encouraged me was my brother. "Ah Jing, it may be scary to go out, but my brother will protect you, Ah Jing, you have to work hard."

So, every morning, my elder brother took me to elementary school by detour, and then went to middle school. He asked me to exercise well, so that I would not be afraid of being attacked by bad guys one day. Exercise with me. I feel guilty about going to school, but I work out because the bear is supposed to be stronger, and maybe one day he can avenge Emili. Time passed, and Emily's parents were going back to Tokyo. The four of us who had suffered from that incident were invited to Emili's home and asked to talk about the case one last time. Only the "Parthenon Temple" is gone in the entrance, and nothing else has changed. The moment I stepped into the entrance, my forehead started to hurt. However, the topic of the case is almost all about Maki. Cope with it.No, Emili's mother had this to say:

Can the criminal be found before the statute of limitations?If you don't have an act of atonement that I can approve, I will have my vengeance. Because of my fault, Emili was killed, and I feel sorry for the other three.I knew from the beginning that Emili's mother would hate me, so I didn't feel the slightest bit of fear when she said that she wanted revenge. Instead, I found it strange that she hadn't said anything all this time.For me who can hardly remember the case, it is too difficult to find the criminal, so I choose to atone. Atonement?I never pursue something beyond my identity.I have been thinking this way since the murder, and I swore it in my heart again that day.

In the end I didn't pass the high school exam.My parents advised me to at least finish high school no matter what.However, even if I passed the exam, I didn't have the confidence to complete the three years. It was the elder brother who finally convinced his parents. High school is not compulsory education, Ah Jing just doesn't want to go out, she can also graduate through correspondence courses, and she can also go to university.I will work hard, let Ah Jing follow her own pace. This is what my brother said when he pleaded for me.The elder brother finally fulfilled his promise. After graduating from the local national university, he took the civil service examination and took a job in the social welfare department of the town government.The elder brother performed well at work, received rave reviews, and was recognized as a filial son in the town, which made his parents feel very proud.

My brother is really good at taking care of others, and he also married a woman with some secrets. But don't be fooled by bad men, pregnant with a child, and come back crying. When my daughter leaves the small town to go to school or work in the city, parents and relatives will always warn her like this, which seems to have become a fixed line.However, Chunhua, the brother's wife, is almost a bad example, and she's been through all of this. She used to work in a small printing company with a meager salary, barely enough to get by.In order to live a little more comfortably, she started to work part-time in nightclubs, but was entangled by gangsters and got pregnant without getting married. In the end, she had to quit her job and give birth to the child. By making money in nightclubs, she was finally able to support the child.However, the underworld boyfriend had a new love and hid, and she didn't know when she started to be heavily in debt, and was later pursued by a bad financial company. If she couldn't pay back the money in time, they poured cement on her and threw her into Tokyo Bay. In the end, he took his life and fled back to the town with great difficulty.

I don't know how much of these rumors are true. Anyway, Chunhua came back less than a month ago, and this kind of rumor is well known in the town, even I, who hardly go out, know it. It was the aunt who lived nearby who told my mother when they came to visit the house. At that time, I also sat with them, just like friends drinking tea and chatting together.The aunt said in a tone of revealing exclusive news, but at the same time showed an expression of disbelief: "I never thought it would be that child." I also didn't believe it. I don't know if it was to repay the debt, but it is true that Chunhua's family sold part of the land and mountains, and she did have a child.

The reason why it is so unbelievable may be due to previous impressions.Although it is a bad example, this kind of small episode is almost catching up with "The Legend of Wuyong" in the town.People who don't know the details will probably be full of curiosity, what kind of beauty can suffer such bad luck?In fact, Chunhua is honest and simple, with an average appearance. Even if she is complimented, it is difficult to say that she is beautiful. She is in the same grade as her brother, and the two families live not far away. I have known her since I was a child. At that time, I hadn’t seen Chunhua after returning from the city. I thought she had been to Tokyo and should become more fashionable. As a result, I heard her Three months after the rumor, she was brought home by her brother, and it was found that she had hardly changed except for her aging appearance.

This happened on August 14th, the Obon Festival last year. After my grandfather and grandmother passed away one after another ten years ago, relatives seldom come to my house for gatherings.However, that day, my cousin who had been working abroad for five years, Aunt Yoko's son Seiji and his wife came to live with me.My mother and I prepared hot pot and sushi, and the family of three waited at home.The brother who went out in the morning suddenly called and said that he wanted to take this opportunity to invite his girlfriend to the house. I had no idea my brother had a girlfriend.So does mom.She was in a panic, changing clothes for a while, and buying cakes for a while. At this moment, Seiji and his wife came, so she put her brother's business aside and entertained two guests from Tokyo.

Their wedding was held in Tokyo, and only my parents were there.They've been married for eight years, and it's the first time I've met Seiji's wife, Misato. Mom said: "Grandpa and grandpa are gone, and you have come to this rural town on a special trip." Seiji seemed a little embarrassed, and said, "We want to visit the graves of grandpa and grandma, and this is also a place where the two of us have common memories. " He said that he was worried about being considered indecent by others, but he never mentioned it.Without that case, they might not have come together, so the two wanted to come here to relive the past.

That incident refers to the case of Emili's murder. At that time, Seiji was in the third year of university in Tokyo, and the Tennis Fans Association he joined had Misato, a first-year student from a women's university.Seiji has always been in love with her secretly, but there are too many competitors, and because of his status as a senior, he has never dared to confess.One day, at a gathering of colleagues in the association, everyone talked about returning to their hometown for the Obon Festival. Seiji showed off to everyone: "Although there is nothing in my hometown, the air is one of the cleanest in Japan." Misato heard this and said: "I really want to see it." Misato is from Tokyo, and she seems to be yearning for the countryside. Seiji used the strength of alcohol to propose an invitation: "Then go together?" Unexpectedly, Misato smiled and nodded. It may be a family tradition, but Seiji is also an honest and conscientious person who likes to take care of others.Although he had the opportunity to live with the girl he liked, he still honestly had dinner at my house and planned to stay one night before going back.And according to the arrangement, Seiji lived in my brother's room, and Misato lived in my room. I, who knew nothing about love, was also surprised by this. It was less than six o'clock when the two arrived at the town station that day, and it was after six o'clock when they arrived at my house.After they put down their luggage and rested for a while, mother began to prepare hot pot.When the child didn't come back, and my mother was complaining that I didn't know where we went crazy again, my brother took my hand and went home.I didn't even look at Seiji and Misato at the time. Afterwards, my mother ran out in a panic. An uncle said he wanted to take a look out of curiosity, but the siren sounded outside again. Not to mention my house, the whole town was in chaos. Of course, it is no longer possible for my family to entertain guests.Although Misato said she didn't mind, Aunt Yoko arranged for a hotel in a neighboring town, and my cousin and Misato moved there.The town was also unknown, but because of the hot springs, it was relatively lively during the Obon Festival, and there was a vacant room in the hotel that day. The first time she came across a murder case in a rural town, Miri was terrified.Seiji said, "Don't worry, I'll protect you." After hearing this, Misato felt very at ease, and the two of them fell in love afterward.But I think they would have come together without that.Think about it, no matter how clean the air is, is it possible to go to a relative's house with someone you don't like just because you want to go to the countryside?But it is undeniable that the occurrence of the murder prompted the two to give up their reserve. Fourteen years later, the two still have no children, and the specific reason is unknown.But they've been married for eight years, and they still look like a couple in love, and I'm a little envious. Looking at this loving couple, the mother couldn't help but say, "Koji will bring a girl back today." The elder brother makes the mother proud, and the son will bring his girlfriend back, so the mother is naturally full of expectations.Looking at Seiji and the others, my mother may also hope that my brother can have a happy marriage. Seiji and his wife also said: "I don't know what kind of people they are, I'm really looking forward to it." At this moment, my brother came back, together with Chunhua and Ruoye. Ruoye is Chunhua's daughter, who was in the second grade of elementary school at that time.
