Chapter 225 Scene 12 (Inverted V) It’s not your fault…
“…”
“…”
Their eyes met and they stared at each other.
Jiang Ruoshi smiled and moved away in a panic, while He Yuezhe looked at her quietly, framing her expression in his eyes, and then lowered his head silently.
“One more time”?
“…”
“…”
"Ahhh, since it's canceled, that's good, that's good." Seeing the car suddenly and inexplicably quiet, He Fangying patted Jiang Ruoshi's shoulder cheerfully. "Old Jiang, if there's anything we can do together, we can all share the responsibility and work together. Don't think like that anymore. Spend more time with the kids."
"snort."
"Ha, I get it." Jiang Ruoshi chuckled, "Old He, don't worry too much about me. I'm fine."
"No one who's fine would abandon their career, friends, and family to sneak into a dangerous place like that and die!" He Fangying crossed her arms. "Can you believe what someone with a criminal record like that says?"
"...Hey, Lao He, that's enough. This is indeed my fault. I won't do it again. But, especially in front of the children, please don't mention it at any time. I don't want to make them sad."
"..." Upon hearing this, He Fangying frowned and looked at Jiang Ruoshi, "Hey, Old Jiang, when did you become so easy to talk to? It's really strange. We've been friends for so many years, and yet you're not as good as this, this doll that you have a slight liking for? You just listened to her for a few words and then you refused to go. I've been talking for so long and you haven't budged at all!"
"Oh, that's not the case," Jiang Ruoshi raised his eyebrows, put a hand on He Fangying's shoulder and pulled her to his side, "Old He, you will always be my best friend."
"...Why are you being so sentimental!" He Fangying shook her body unnaturally.
"Why is it sentimental?" Jiang Ruoshi asked back, "He Fangying, didn't you often say this to me before?"
"Well, well, no, I mean, why do you have to hug me just to talk?!"
"Oh, I'm afraid you will mess up my hair again." Jiang Ruoshi's expression was very calm, and he tightened his arms around He Fangying.
"You're crazy! If you didn't always make me angry, who would bother messing with your broken hair!!" He Fangying laughed in anger.
"Huh?! What do you mean by 'I always make you mad'? What do you mean by 'broken hair'?!" Jiang Ruoshi roared, but because the two people in the back row were still asleep, she could only roar in a mosquito-like voice. "First of all, I'm angry because you always say nonsense to make me angry. Also, my hair is not broken, it's specially styled and very precious!"
"Ouch, it hurts so much!" He Fangying was in pain from being strangled. She turned around and wanted to bite Jiang Ruoshi's shoulder, but after exhaling a few times angrily, she stopped and turned her head away. "Tsk, I won't argue with you!"
"Are your teeth in bad condition?" Jiang Ruoshi knew the intention of He Fangying's series of actions without even turning his head.
"You, you! I didn't—"
"Please don't say He Fangying has bad teeth, okay?"
“…”
“…”
"You, me, puppet, why are you suddenly like this?"
"Because your teeth are dentures, they won't be bad. You just simply don't want to..."
"Will you shut up!!!"
"Oh, when did you change it? Didn't you only change a few before? Is the money enough? Do you need me..."
"You shut up too!!!"
“…”
"It wasn't me, she came here by herself." He Yuezhe blinked innocently at He Fangyin who was glaring at him angrily.
"I'm telling the truth, why don't you let me continue?" The puppet blinked innocently, seemingly unaware of how... "hurtful" his words were.
"You, didn't your master give you a little thing that can search for information? Didn't you use that thing to learn how to speak?" He Fangying covered her face.
She gently picked up the doll lying on the back of the front seat and poked her face, her anger having nowhere to vent.
"That doll is so smart, why is this one so stupid?" Jiang Ruoshi asked.
"Tsk, because I set this doll to be 'absolutely real' and 'absolutely good and evil', I originally thought that as Xiaobao's first doll, she couldn't make any mistakes. I didn't expect it to become like this now."
“…”
"Did I do something wrong?" The doll looked a little helpless. She blinked again, and her calm eyes looked even more dull.
“…” He Fangying looked at her without saying anything.
He Yuezhe pulled her to his side, put the nuts in his arms into her arms, and said softly: "You did nothing wrong, it's just that they don't want to hear this, but you can tell me secretly."
"Really? Okay." The puppet blinked again.
"Hey, just pet her!"
"That's better than violating the setting and suffering." He Yuezhe smiled and held the hand of the doll she was very familiar with and which had accompanied her for almost her entire life.
"……snort."
“…”
“…”
The car was quiet again, with only the buzzing sound of the car and the crisp clatter of the shell ornaments on the rearview mirror continuing.
It was getting darker outside the window, and they could only rely on the candlelight and lanterns left by previous people on the roadside to make out that their journey was gradually turning from uphill to downhill.
He Yue curled up her legs, resting her hands on them to support her face.
A "resurrection master" of unknown origin who uses the body of his "grandmother", a "one more time" who seems to know him and has some unknown memories, and a statement that when he was on the verge of death, he was led here by the system to perform a rescue operation and meet him...
He Yuezhe was thinking about something and unconsciously tapped his eyes with his fingers, tapping his eyes with his nails.
"Why are you tapping your eyes with your fingers? Are your eyes uncomfortable?" The puppet next to him leaned over.
"What...?" He Yuezhe finally reacted and explained, "Ah, it's nothing, just a not-so-good habit. I sometimes do this when I'm thinking about things."
Come to think of it, she seemed to have scratched one of Minglin's eyes because of this bad habit.
Maybe he still thought it was his own body and had a prosthetic eye. Oh, if there was a chance in the future, she really had to apologize to Minglin in person.
But, Minglin...
"squeak--!"
"We're here! We're finally here!" He Fangying picked up the two dolls beside her and pushed open the car door, taking a deep breath. "Mmm, comfortable!"
"Old Jiang, just rest here with us tonight. It will take too long to drive back!" She waved to Jiang Ruoshi who was still sitting in the car.
"It's okay, the road is open and it won't take long to get back." Jiang Ruoshi shook his head and stretched.
"Okay then." He Fangying nodded with an unconcealed look, opened the back door of the car, and carried the girl and the woman into the house one by one.
"You're not young anymore, but you're still quite strong." Jiang Ruoshi said as he watched her busying around.
He Fangying glanced at her smugly: "Of course, don't you see who I am!"
"Oh, oh, yeah, yes, our Lao He has won several gold medals in every sports meet."
"What do you mean by several gold medals? That's so many gold medals that I can't even hang them around my neck!"
"Yes, a gold medal that can't even fit around your neck. That's amazing."
"Hmph, I can only watch and envy. Ouch, I wonder who bit my gold medal and broke their teeth?"
"He Fangying, I urge you to speak properly. I haven't even left yet. If this car hits you, you'll..."
"Then pay the money, pay the money, haha, then our little treasure will become a millionaire!"
“…”
"Why."
"Mother, what are you doing...?"
"My tooth fell out, daughter, my tooth..."
"Oh, my god! What are you two doing?! I know my gold medals are made of real gold and I know they fill up a whole closet, but that's no reason to leave them all on the floor!"
"No, grandma," the girl said anxiously, "her tooth is broken. I'll go get the medicine box first!"
“…”
“…”
"Why did you bite my gold medal?" He Fangying put her hands on her hips and looked at the woman with dissatisfaction, as if she was looking at a child who had made a mistake.
The woman was indeed cowering in the corner of the bed like a child who had made a mistake, trembling all over. As soon as she opened her mouth, blood gushed out: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. I'm sorry, I, I really didn't mean to do that. Please, please, don't hit me, don't hit me..."
"you……?!"
There were tears in her eyes, but she quickly wiped them away with her sleeve, followed by a bloody and tragic smile.
She looked up at He Fangying with an overly standard smile, many of the eight teeth that could be shown had already fallen out: "I, I can smile, I'm not in pain, I won't cry, and I won't be an eyesore to you!"
"Please, please," the woman swallowed a mouthful of blood, crawled to He Fangying, carefully pulled her trouser legs, and wiped her old cloth shoes with her sleeves, "I'll wipe your shoes for you, please, please, don't hit me anymore, don't hit me anymore..."
"You, you get up first," He Fangying grabbed the woman's arm and tried to pull her up from the ground. "I don't want to hit you, nor do I need you to laugh, and I certainly don't need you to polish my shoes."
“…” The woman smiled stubbornly, without moving or getting up.
“…” He Fangying was at a loss as to what to do with her.
But when she turned around and called Xiaobao, she saw a cold light in her eyes.
“…”
“…”
"Go to hell, go to hell, people like you, go to hell, go to hell..."
“Tick-tock.”
“Tick-tock.”
"Xiaobao?! Xiaobao, is your hand okay?! Oh my God, how could you do this? It's very dangerous and will hurt!" He Fangying took the medicine box from the girl and looked at her with heartache.
"I'm fine." The girl held the blade of the knife and pulled the handle out of the woman's hand, and she threw the knife aside.
"Die, die, you must die, you must die, die completely..." The woman's body was gently hugged by the girl, and her voice stopped abruptly.
"Mother, it's okay. We've escaped. It's okay, it's okay." The girl gently patted the woman's thin back, then held her face. "Come, I'll apply medicine for you."
"Uh, um, um..."
“…”
"Xiaobao, what's wrong with your mother?"
"Heart disease." The girl applied the medicine skillfully. "Before, my father often beat her, saying that she always had a sad face and embarrassed him in front of the neighbors and leaders. So, he wouldn't stop until my mother smiled."
“…”
"This kind of thing is not uncommon in this city, so no one cared. Neighbors didn't care, and the police didn't care. Over time, my mother became ill."
“…”
"Grandma, I want to save her."
“…”
“…”
"Okay, grandma will always support all the decisions our Xiaobao makes."
"sorry……"
"It's okay, kid, it's not your fault, it's that man's fault, so you have to get better, live well, and live strong!"
"...Well, I will get better. I will live well. I will save myself and also save those who are imprisoned like me."
"Okay, I believe you, kid!"
"Mother," the girl held the woman's hand. Between their palms, there was blood, tears, and warmth. "I believe in you, too. You will get better, and so will they."
Their foreheads touched together.
