Chapter 356 Two Small Windmills
"How about this story?"
Zhang Xuyang looked at Xu Shilong expectantly.
Xu Shilong closed the notebook in his hand and gave him a thumbs up.
“Awesome.”
"Hey, there is another copy that was taken away by my mother."
Zhang Xuyang looked a little proud, then lowered his head and took a big mouthful of his rice bowl.
At this time, he was sitting at the desk, and Xu Shilong was sitting on his bed.
At this time, it was completely dark outside the window, and the lights were starting to turn on.
"Little Dragon."
"What's wrong?"
Xu Shilong was looking out the window when he looked away.
His eyes fell on Zhang Xuyang's face. There was still a grain of rice on the corner of his mouth, but his expression was very serious at this time.
It looked so funny that Xu Shilong couldn't help laughing.
"Don't laugh, be serious, I'm telling you something."
"Oh, okay." Xu Shilong held back his smile.
"Your parents are not good people." Zhang Xuyang said directly without mincing words.
"Oh." Xu Shilong looked calm, as if he already knew.
"Aren't you surprised at all?" Zhang Xuyang said.
"I'm not a fool." Xu Shilong said quietly.
When Zhang Xuyang heard this, he no longer had any scruples and said: "My mother said that your parents are not good people and deliberately killed you and then defrauded the insurance company of money..."
When Xu Shilong heard this, he pursed his lips tightly and could not see much expression.
But after Zhang Xuyang finished speaking, he corrected him in a low voice: "It's my dad."
"What?"
"My father did it all," Xu Shilong said.
"Oh, it turns out your mother doesn't know yet. Do you want me to tell her? I can write her a letter or call her." Zhang Xuyang said angrily immediately.
"My mother knows." Xu Shilong whispered.
Zhang Xuyang's eyes widened when he heard this, and he looked at him in great surprise.
"Then she...then she..."
"Dad gave her money, and she stopped making trouble..." Xu Shilong said softly.
"They...why are they so bad?" Zhang Xuyang stammered.
He stood up and wanted to hug Xu Shilong, but felt that it was a bit embarrassing for the two boys to be like this.
So he reached out and patted Xu Shilong's shoulder and said: "Don't be sad, they... they..."
He wanted to say that there would be retribution for them, but he also thought that his parents said that they were living a happy life now, so where was the retribution?
"I'll tell the police for you. I'll write a letter to the police and ask them to arrest them." Zhang Xuyang felt angry and aggrieved at the same time.
"Thank you, but no need." Xu Shilong forced a smile.
"Why, you are just too cowardly. If I... I will go with them. They are too bad. Why do they treat you like this? Fortunately, I thought they were good people before..."
"The police checked, but it was useless." Xu Shilong said.
Zhang Xuyang was stunned and a little surprised when he heard this.
"Why doesn't it work?"
"Because there is no evidence." Xu Shilong said.
"And I'm not important either."
The feeling that no one cared made him very confused. He didn't know why he was alive or why he existed. Everything seemed to have no meaning.
But he also longs for family affection and the love of his parents...
They obviously love him so much and have many beautiful memories...
He is only an eight-year-old child and does not understand so much, so he feels confused...
——
It has to be said that Xu Shilong's father, Xu Jiawei, was very meticulous in his work. The insurance he bought for Xu Shilong was not purchased in the year of the accident, but was purchased when Xu Shilong was three years old.
And there was a reason to buy insurance. Xu Shilong, who was three years old at the time, almost drowned when he returned home. Since then, Xu Jiawei bought him several high-value insurance policies.
Others just thought that Xu Jiawei was distressed about his child and didn't think much about it. Four or five years passed before Xu Shilong had an accident. Everything seemed to be a coincidence. After all, who could have started planning four or five years ago.
At the beginning, no one really had any doubts, including Xu Jiawei's wife, Xu Shilong's mother.
But after Xu Jiawei received a large sum of compensation and wrote a letter of understanding to the perpetrator, Zhao Xiaorui, the interested person began to come to his senses and felt that something was wrong.
But there was no definite evidence, so the police just made some inquiries and left it alone.
Of course, the most important thing is that Xu Shilong's mother also chose not to investigate further, because she was also a vested interest and she also received a share of the money.
If the person is gone, there is no way to recover it. In this case, it is better to make some money.
In front of money, family love seems so ridiculous.
When the two divorced, Xu Shilong and Zhao Xiaorui were together.
Anyone who can't guess what's going on right now is really a fool.
This is why even Zhang Xuyang's parents know about this.
However, there is a saying that people do not hold officials accountable, and there is indeed no substantive evidence.
In addition, Xu Jiawei's family moved out of here directly, so naturally no one cared about these frivolous things, they only became a topic of conversation after dinner.
As for Xu Shilong, no one cares about this poor child.
Zhang Xuyang cares. Xu Shilong was his best friend, and he had been sad for a long time.
So he also drew a lot of cartoons about Xu Shilong, and often dreamed of him in his dreams...
"You are very important, you are my best friend, I...I care about you very much..."
"Yes, I know." Xu Shilong smiled and nodded.
After all, there are still people who remember him and care about him...
The two chatted for a long time and talked a lot until Zhang Xuyang's parents came back.
However, they did not find Xu Shilong.
As long as he didn't show up, they wouldn't be able to see him, and they rarely entered Zhang Xuyang's room.
"When I grow up and get a wife, you can be reincarnated as my son." Zhang Xuyang said.
At this time, in the dead of night, the two of them were lying side by side on the bed.
"I don't want it."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"I will buy you delicious food and a lot of toys." Zhang Xuyang said.
"That...that won't work either." Xu Shilong hesitated.
"I will always be good to you and love you." Zhang Xuyang said with a smile.
"Then... let me think about it."
"Haha, it's settled then, call daddy to come and listen."
"Get lost."
The two made a fuss.
"Yangyang, it's so late, what are you doing without sleeping? Are you playing with your phone again." Mother's voice came from outside the door.
"No, I'm telling myself a story. I'm going to sleep right away." Zhang Xuyang said quickly.
Turning to look to the side, he saw that Xu Shilong had shrunk into the blanket and covered his head.
Fortunately, their mother did not come in, and both of them could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, neither of them spoke, just lying on the bed quietly.
The moonlight shines in from the window, the breeze blows the window screen, everything is so quiet and peaceful.
Neither of them spoke until a dark cloud blocked the moonlight.
Zhang Xuyang whispered: "When will you leave."
"When you fall asleep." Xu Shilong said.
"Then I won't sleep all night." Zhang Xuyang turned over and sat up with a proud look on his face.
The moonlight shines in from outside the window again and falls on Zhang Xuyang's face. The fuzz on his face seems to be clearly visible, and the cunning on his face is also clearly visible...
"Xiaolong, let's continue talking."
"Okay."
"Xiaolong, when I grow up, I no longer want to be a cartoonist."
"Why?"
"I want to be a policeman, and then I will avenge you and arrest them all."
"Forget it, you'd better be a cartoonist."
"Why? Are you scared? You are so cowardly."
"No, you are too fat to be a police officer."
"Nonsense, I'm not fat at all. My mother said I'm just a little strong, and who said you can't be a police officer if you're fat..."
"Be a fat policeman?"
Xu Shilong imagined that he was wearing a police uniform and looked fat, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The two quarreled for a while.
Zhang Xuyang's voice became softer and softer, and he finally fell asleep.
Until——
"Yangyang, don't sleep, get up."
Mother's voice sounded outside the door as always.
"Right away." Zhang Xuyang agreed vaguely.
Then he reacted suddenly and turned around to look around. There was no one around him, and there was no familiar figure.
Zhang Xuyang turned over and sat up, looking blankly towards the window.
The early morning sunshine shines in from the window, and the breeze blows the window screen. One of the two windmills in the pen holder rotates forward in the breeze, and the other stops motionless...
Zhang Xuyang felt an unspeakable sadness in his heart. He couldn't bear it any longer and cried loudly, tears rolling down his cheeks...
The door was pushed open from the outside with a bang, and Zhang's mother rushed into the house nervously and held him in her arms.
"Yangyang, what's going on? Is this a nightmare?"
"Are you being bullied at school? Tell your mother and she will make the decision for you..."
"Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang...where did you die..."
……
The two small windmills on the table are equally colorful.
One is still whirring forward, like a jumping life.
One still stopped in place, motionless, because it had died some evening in the past...
