The thin figure stands beside the gate, just at the dividing line between light and darkness.

One step further is hell, one step back, but you may not be able to escape from the abyss.

The dim light shone on his cheeks, and his fine temple hair fell down slightly, making it look like ink more and more.The previous light redness has faded, and under the porcelain white skin, the light blue blood vessels are clearly visible, and his facial features are unusually deep, his eyebrows and eyes are like a painting, and there is a pure, penetrating, inspiring beauty.

He is really beautiful, with this appearance, he is almost better than Yan Xiaoling in the past when his appearance was at its peak.

If he is engaged in the same business as his mother, I don't know how many people want to take him as their own.

However, his bones protruded solitary and abruptly, and could not be broken at all.

At this moment, he was still struggling in vain: "You can't take Zhinan away, that's my younger brother!"

"Oh." He Qin said, following the information he had investigated, he asked back: "Then how did you take care of your brother, letting him wash, chop and lay hands on vegetables at your corner stall?"

The embarrassment made Chu Ge's face turn pale.

"What can you give him?"

Looking around this narrow and cramped hut, all the furnishings are extremely familiar.Clumsy old TV sets, tea tables with peeling and cracked leather, long tables with wooden inner cores from peeling paint leather, and on the long tables, scattered medicine boxes, messy pockets, and crooked books.

Such a mess.

Chu Ge wanted to replace this old long table many times, but was stopped by Lu Zhinan, the child hugged him softly, coquettishly saying that it can still be used if it makes do, and there is no need to replace it.The only new piece of furniture added, that is, the blue-and-white board desk against the wall, has also seen some stains due to long-term use.

They made do, snuggled, and walked through three thoughts.

But it became He Qin's reason to criticize him.

"Cheap clothes, low-quality ingredients, and humble status. Do you want him to go out and be asked later, saying that he has an elder brother who makes a living by setting up a street stall? Or, you have already made plans for him , I will directly inherit your dilapidated shop from now on."

Such sharp words came to my ears, obviously I was worried, but Chu Ge's heart was surprisingly calm.

Even though He Qin's eyes were undisguised indifference, like a cloud looking down on the world, looking at an ant in the dust.

"That's a coincidence." He heard himself say clearly, "My younger brother will not dislike his elder brother. I'm afraid what he doesn't want to see is your father who came out of nowhere."

He is quite calm, even if he speaks words that are extremely likely to irritate people, his dark eyes are calm and composed.

The previous intense emotions seemed to sink into the lake of his heart, into the deep sea, bound by his rationality, and restrained tightly.However, the bright light shone into his eyes, as if there were sparks flickering in it, as if splashing with scorching and dazzling glare.

He Qin stared at him closely, his gaze gradually sank, that indifferent disdain disappeared like a cloud after sunrise.

"If your purpose of coming here is to take him away, then you can leave."

"I disagree."

In the distant sky, a thunderbolt suddenly exploded, and the rumbling sound covered all the movement in the world.

But he couldn't hide his loud words.

He Qin suddenly laughed, if you look carefully, you will find that there is even a bit of appreciation in it.However, that slight appreciation was so insignificant, it flashed between the deep and pressing eyebrows, and in the cold and pressing eyes.

Reminds people of an enraged lion.

The sound of "stabbing" sparks exploded, and the lights flickered on and off, as if the next moment, they were about to fall into absolute darkness.

"There is no need to provoke me, Lu Zhibei, you are a smart person. You can directly ask for what you want, and I will properly satisfy your request based on how you have taken care of Zhinan over the years."

That sounds like thinking that this is Chu Ge's means to seek more benefits.

Why does he think so!

Why did he call out "Zhi Nan"!

There seemed to be an unknown fire burning in his chest, swimming through his limbs and bones, pouring into his heart, he heard "bang bang" beating violently, like the sound of a drum beating.

Calmness and restraint seemed to be shattered in the next second, until he pinched himself severely to restore his consciousness to clarity.

Chu Ge opened his mouth to refute, but he couldn't utter a single syllable. The huge pressure made it extremely difficult for him to speak.It was as if an invisible big hand pinched his throat, and it could be smashed to pieces with just a little force.

Power from supernatural beings.

He wants to resist, just like a mayfly shakes a big tree, it's ridiculous.

"Money? Status? Strength?"

He Qin listed it lightly, between his fingers, a thin sheet of paper opened at some point, and the exquisite patterns were extremely clear under the light, enough to drive most people in the world crazy.

It was a check that had been prepared a long time ago. The face of the bill was white and clean, and there was not a single number on it.

"what do you want?"

He Qin asked, but didn't expect the young man to be able to answer.

His eyes were heavy, looking at the pupils that were sparkling because of anger, his heart seemed to be gently moved.

But also fleeting.

"If these are not enough, I can give you a letter of recommendation and send you to the best school in the north."

"Aren't these all what you expected?"

Those insulting words were heard, and for a moment, Chu Ge wanted to rush forward, even if he hit a stone with a pebble, he still had to teach him a lesson.

what does that mean?

Do you think he will sell his younger brother at will for money?

However, the huge oppression pulled him back to reality.

His throat seemed to be crushed, and it was very difficult to even move it. The strong coercion from the supernatural being made him want to kneel down and humbly beg for forgiveness.

It seemed like that, he could avoid all the pain and get everything that Lu Zhibei had been looking for so hard.

But what's the point of those?

--I do not need.

Lips moved, Chu Ge looked at the tall man in front of him, who seemed to be giving alms, and struggled to piece together such a lip shape.

The eyes that greeted him were cold and indifferent, as if he believed that he was a liar who wanted to seek more benefits.

Various memory fragments slid across his mind, and Chu Ge suddenly remembered that not long ago, Ying Cang had invited him to a school, where he had passed the ability test, but he finally retreated, turned and left, but he gave such an impression.

So what if that is not the case?

"I think this benefit is enough to make up for you, Lu Zhibei, don't be too greedy."

As if exhausting all the strength in his body, his internal organs were burning. He Qin gave him an extremely uncomfortable feeling. Chu Ge wanted to resist with supernatural powers, but reason woke him up and suppressed all restlessness in his body.

He Qin stared at his pale face, cold sweat was already dripping on his forehead, but he still never gave up.

It seemed as if he was about to faint in the next moment, but he still stood there firmly.

Even with such terrible pressure.

He smiled slightly, and deliberately increased his coercion, but his tone seemed to be a demon that tempted people to fall: "He should grow in a suitable place and have everything he should have, instead of being trapped in this poor and remote place , for the sake of a steel coin, I can give him all those things."

"Do not."

Hearing his hoarse voice, Chu Ge refused slowly but firmly: "That's his life, you have no right to decide."

There seemed to be a smell of blood foam in his mouth, salty and sour, and he finally struggled to open his mouth.

Whether to leave or stay, that can only be chosen by Lu Zhinan.

At least until Lu Zhinan gave the answer, he would not choose to let go.

Like a hallucination, there seemed to be slow footsteps behind him, step by step, approaching him, and even standing behind him.

A huge kick hit his knee socket, breaking the delicate balance in an instant. Chu Ge staggered a few steps, unable to stabilize his figure, and suddenly fell to his knees.

He struggled to stand up, and at that moment, the person behind stepped on the back of his hand, the severe pain made his eyes go dark, and he could hardly support his body.

For a moment, the back of his hand seemed to be so painful that he lost consciousness. When he woke up, the person who stepped on him had passed him and walked in front of He Qin.

With a "plop", something was thrown to the ground, and a muffled groan was heard.

It was the sound of a person suffering from pain, such despair and fear.

As if hearing a question, it was so cold that there was no emotion: "Do you know him?"

A pair of hands grabbed his hair, forcing him to raise his head, face to face with another man, his heavy breathing was blowing on his face, with an unbearable stench.

At the beginning, he didn't react, and the severe pain invaded his consciousness.However, the fragments of memory gradually came back, bringing up those unreachable memories. The moment he realized who the person in front of him was, Chu Ge finally couldn't control the trembling of his body.

He Qin, who had been sitting upright from the beginning to the end, finally stood up and walked in front of him. His silhouette covered all the light in the backlight, condescending as if looking down from the abyss.

"I think you should remember what you did three years ago."

"For the sake of your repentance, I can give you the last mercy."

three years ago

That was when Lu Zhibei had not awakened his powers and pushed Lu Zhinan into the fire pit. That strange face was the person Lu Zhibei contacted at the beginning.

Things that were thought to have been covered up were all investigated.

That was what Yuanshen had done before, and he couldn't make any excuses for himself, he could only bear all the infamy and calamity.

The man collapsed on the ground, his pupils suddenly dilated, and finally slackened.

He Qin looked down at him from above, as if all patience had been exhausted.

The cold needle pierced his skin, and after the sharp sting, a light green liquid was completely pushed into his body, slipped under the thin skin, and flowed across all limbs.

Chu Ge's complexion declined sharply, he could no longer support himself, and fell to the ground slumped, with an ominous and dismal blue color on his cheeks.

He is not long to live.

He Qin investigated everything that Lu Zhibei had done, those pasts that were too cruel to look back, turned into the revenge of fate, and imposed on him.

That was the fate that Lu Zhibei should have endured in the first place.

After a tragic death, no one remembers him anymore.

Who can bear the fact that their child is almost sold to be a child prostitute, not to mention that he was supposed to be the favored child of heaven, with supreme glory and glory.

of the south.

He curled up in pain, as if the whole bone had been pried open, bit by bit he used the sawtooth to file off the powder.The cold wind blew through the bone cracks, making sharp whistles, one sound at a time, piercing his mind.

The unstoppable convulsions of the hands and feet, the whole body seemed to be plunged into boiling water, and a layer of skin was peeled off alive.

He is going to die.

What will Lu Zhinan see when he returns home?

His elder brother was paralyzed on the ground like a dead dog. He went home happily, looking forward to his 12th birthday, but he could only see a lifeless corpse.

No.

Even if he dies, he cannot die here.

Huge panic seized his entire thoughts, and he tried his best to squeeze the last bit of strength from his heart, bone marrow, and every organ that was clamoring for death, even if he used his supernatural powers. .

However, it was too late.

The toxin was injected into his heart through the blood, as if a cloud of nebula suddenly exploded deep in his body, and the scattered dust blocked his breathing duct, making him make a sound like a bellows.

He is like a mass of rotten flesh without bones, perhaps soon, he will emit an unpleasant stench.

He remembered the parting not long ago, in the brightly lit auditorium, when the sun was still shining brightly.The child acted coquettishly, obeying his promise to eat mango ice cream cake, he made Lu Zhinan play enough, don't forget to go home, don't forget that there is still a person waiting for him at home.

12th birthday.

How cruel not to forget.

If it was destined to usher in only farewell and separation, he only hoped that Lu Zhinan would not remember it from the beginning to the end.

What a ridiculous and fragile fantasy, he thought that he would live a peaceful life, but in the face of powerful strength, he was vulnerable.

In a trance, it seemed that someone grabbed his hair and dragged him out of the room like a sack.

He bumped his head against something, it was cold and sticky, and there seemed to be a rich mango fragrance floating in the air.

At the end of his sight, he saw the pen gift box thrown outside the door, the crushed cake packaging, and the scattered garlands and balloons.

As if he heard a low curse, the hand that dragged his hair was released in an instant, and he looked up desperately, only to see those garlands and cakes thrown down the corridor like garbage.

In the boundless darkness, there was a muffled rumble, mixed with thunder from the sky.

At the last moment before his consciousness lost consciousness, Chu Ge returned to the night at the entrance of the alley.

That day, he smashed the man's head with a steel pipe, and he huddled alone in the corner of the wall, waiting for death.Hearing the rustling sound, he raised his head warily, and saw Lu Zhinan.

The child shrank at the entrance of the alley, watching him from afar.It was frightening and fearful, as if it was about to turn around and run away in the next moment, but finally walked up to him and stretched out his hand towards him.It was a timid low cry that called him back to the world.

"elder brother"

He just wants his younger brother to grow up safely and happily, forget all his troubles and sorrows, and be that little child who is pampered in his arms.

But in the end, he was the one who gave Lu Zhinan the cruelest farewell.

The young man's pupils gradually dilated, dimmed in the muddy sewage.

The storm finally came down.
