"Am I going to die too?" he murmured to himself.
He looked at the tiny sky above the cave, and regret welled up in his heart for the first time.
The wind blew, causing the grass leaves outside the cave to rustle, like a mother whispering by the window, or like Zhong Chengyi crying back then.
He tried to struggle to get up, but found that his limbs were already numb and weak.
Death is approaching silently, like an invisible net, getting tighter and tighter.
He finally realized that he could no longer wait for others to save him.
He closed his eyes, and the image of Zhong Chengyi as a child emerged in his mind, the little figure who always followed him and called him brother, and who smiled a childish smile with missing front teeth.
Zhang Chunxue's face appeared in his mind again.
Others said that Zhong Chengren looked most like Zhang Chunxue and was the most handsome of the three sons.
But now, the face that he once took pride in has become his biggest curse.
The wound on his back was caused by her.
She slashed at him without hesitation.
Zhong Chengren smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.
He didn't blame Zhang Chunxue.
It was him, the one who was desperate enough to try to steal his mother's money; it was him who had previously tried to kill Zhou Mingli, his mother must have hated him to death...
And he even wanted to teach Song Xingzhi a lesson that night.
Why?! Zhang Chunxue is his mother!
That's his mother!
It's all because of Song Xingzhi! It must be because of Song Xingzhi!
So his mother didn't want him anymore... Zhang Chunxue didn't want him anymore...
She didn't want any of her three sons, but only wanted Zhong Xiaoxiao...
It must be because of Song Xingzhi's instigation...
But the two knife strikes he made that night completely severed the last bit of mother-son affection.
He killed his own brother, and Zhang Chunxue would never forgive him in his life.
His consciousness became blurred again, and Zhong Chengren's thoughts returned to his childhood.
He seemed to see again the three brothers stealing the brown sugar that their father bought for their mother, and after being discovered by their father, it was their mother who covered up for them.
He also saw his always strong-willed mother crying inconsolably on the day she learned of his father's death.
He saw his mother marrying his eldest brother and marrying him a wife...
He seemed to still see that his mother did not let his sister go to school, but married her to a bachelor...
Later... Later, my sister was beaten to death by domestic violence...
He saw his mother's expressionless face, which was the pain hidden deep in her heart.
He saw Song Xingzhi leave Zhongjia Village and saw his mother standing under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, staring blankly into the distance.
Later, Zhong Chengyi got married and moved to the city.
Later, his mother also started a business.
She was amazing, really amazing. She had single-handedly become a millionaire. Her business was growing bigger and bigger, and her family's life was getting better and better...
Countless memories that Zhong Chengren had never experienced flashed before his eyes, replaying scenes like a movie reel.
Zhong Chengren began to feel cold, so cold that it bit his bones.
He finally saw that Zhang Chunxue was sick and had a very serious illness. They were unwilling to treat her, so they took her home, but none of the three brothers were willing to take care of her.
They almost had a fight, and then decided to take care of the child as a family for ten days.
The mother who originally provided them with shelter became a burden.
He saw him holding Meng Wanshu, living an extremely comfortable life, but he was unwilling to go back to see his biological mother...
A tear flowed from the corner of Zhong Chengren's eye, slid down his cheek, and shattered into countless tiny water droplets on the cold ground.
So, is this his karma?
Zhong Chengren suddenly woke up.
No, he didn't do any of that... He didn't...
However, the next second, his consciousness fell into chaos again, and Zhong Chengyi appeared again.
He looked more and more terrifying and ferocious.
He seemed to have emerged from the endless darkness beneath his feet, grabbed his feet and dragged him into the depths of the darkness.
"Second brother, if I die, you will die with me... Second brother..."
"My good second brother..."
"We should be together..."
Zhong Chengren's life flame is crumbling.
He only felt his eyelids heavy, and in a daze, he heard the sound of chaotic footsteps.
"Right here! I found it today when I was herding sheep!"
"Go confirm your identity first!"
Zhong Chengren only felt that there were suddenly several more breaths in this deserted cave, but he could no longer open his eyes. He only felt that someone was calling his name, and the voice was sometimes far and sometimes near, as if it came from a distant place.
He seemed to hear his mother's voice, gentle and familiar, "Chengren, go to sleep..."
Zhong Chengren burst into tears: "Mom...Mom...Have you forgiven me? Mom..."
"I was wrong... I really know I was wrong..."
"Please forgive me..."
Zhong Chengyi's expression became more and more ferocious, and he continued to drag him into the dark abyss.
"Mom will never forgive you! He will never forgive us!" It roared and screamed, "Second brother! You can only die! You can only die!"
Zhong Chengren was dragged by his third brother, who had turned into a ghost, and continued to fall.
The smoke outlet of the cave above his head turned into a white light, getting smaller and smaller, until it was completely submerged in darkness.
Zhong Chengren's consciousness also fell into eternal sleep.
The door of the operating room opened, and a doctor came out and shook his head at Zhang Chunxue.
"The operation failed and the patient has no vital signs."
Zhang Chunxue's expression remained unchanged: "Thank you for your hard work, doctor."
She was notified by the police to come to the county hospital three hours ago.
The police said they had found Zhong Chengren, but he had fallen into a coma due to an inflammation of the wound on his back.
He was occasionally lucid, and the police questioned him at the time, but Zhong Chengren was unable to answer independently and could only shout "Mom".
When the police saw this, they knew that Zhong Chengren's condition was not optimistic, so they immediately sent him to the county hospital for emergency treatment and quickly sent someone to notify Zhang Chunxue.
When Zhang Chunxue arrived, Zhong Chengren had already been sent to the operating room for emergency treatment.
According to the police, early this morning, a shepherd was driving the commune's sheep up the mountain to graze, and one of them accidentally got lost. When he went to look for the sheep, he arrived at the gate of this cave and heard someone groaning inside. He was shocked, so he carefully went in to take a look, and saw a person lying inside, who seemed to be burnt unconscious.
The shepherd was shocked and ran back to the commune to tell the people there.
The commune had received a notice from the public security department in the past few days, and learned that a wounded murderer had escaped here, so without any hesitation, they immediately reported it to the public security department.
They also didn't expect that Zhong Chengren refused to go to the hospital and just relied on himself to hold on. The result...
