dark flower

Jinwei has no way to get along with Anxin in the previous way of getting along.

Naturally, the healed body does not need plaster plaster. Jinwei did not bother An Xin, but took the bus to the city to remove it.

The one-month sick leave is still more than half a month away. This is the first time Jin Wei has wished to go to school so much since he was born.

Now at home, although Jinwei is still doing housework and cooking as usual, Anxin will also eat with Jinwei as usual, but after that they have no intersection, and Jinwei even develops the habit of locking the door before going to bed.

Although I suffer from blood thirst every day, and I dare not even go out, but I get used to it after a long time, and I feel that the symptoms of thirst for blood seem to be much better.

An Xin once said this while eating, but Jin Wei ignored it.

This kind of self is too much and very rude, Jinwei knows it very well, but he doesn't know what other ways to do it.Jinwei couldn't pretend to be nonchalant at all, and he couldn't stand Anxin kissing himself even if he didn't have any interest in him, even if the kiss was for feeding.

In the end, Anxin, who had nothing to do, gave Jinwei two bottles.

A bottle with white pills and a bottle with dark red pills.

The white pills are inhibitors, while the dark red pills are blood bars that turn into blood when thrown in water.

From that day on, the study room became Jinwei's hiding place. Once he was free, he would hide in the study room for several hours.

Jinwei didn't strike up a conversation, and Anxin didn't speak either. The awkward atmosphere was unbearable.

In the study room, looking at those books, Jinwei vaguely felt that he knew the identity of the author he liked, the Earl.

Almost all of the things he wrote were related to vampires, and the lines were full of loneliness and loneliness. Jinwei felt familiar before.

After knowing An Xin's identity now, and after thinking about what An Xin is doing every day hiding in his study and working, Jinwei has a general understanding in his mind.

Not deja vu, but close at hand.

He has experienced being betrayed by human beings, and things around him have changed, but he alone has not changed, so An Xin closed the door of his heart.

An Xin once said in the book that although he didn't want to, he was not allowed to be the protagonist in the lonely feast, enjoying loneliness without knowing the end.

Jinwei doesn't know how terrible the loneliness of a person who can't even remember the years is, but he knows that it must be empty to live like this and reject everything around him.

——The child who cried when he saw everyone not long after he was born saw me, and he smiled.The open arms invited me to hug him, the new life I came into contact with for the first time was so soft and beautiful, I couldn't let him go.

——At this moment, I knew that I was unreasonably in love with this child who accepted me unconditionally.

Jinwei didn't know who the child An Xin was talking about, and he suspected that this "child" might be his father.

If there is any basis, it is probably Anxin's feelings that were revealed to the outside when his father passed away.

Mingming Jinwei has never had any contact with this "child", but he is full of envy and jealousy towards this "child".

If he knew An Xin earlier than that "child"...

If An Xin hadn't met that "child"...

So now An Xin will give him a little bit of affection?

Making such unfounded assumptions, but the matter has long been a foregone conclusion, An Xin is destined not to like Jinwei, and Jinwei is destined to be sadly unrequited love.

If possible, Jinwei also wants to accompany An Xin to spend those lonely years in the future, but he thinks that An Xin will definitely not give him this opportunity.

The best proof is the two bottles of medicine An Xin gave him.

Thinking about it now, maybe it was because my parents knew about my identity as a vampire, that's why they didn't want Jinwei to go home so much.

Because he was afraid that Jin Wei would hurt them.

People are like this, once frustrated, everything will be pessimistic.But at least, this possibility is the only possibility that can best explain why parents are reluctant to let Jinwei live at home these days.

Feeling a little sore in his body after maintaining a movement for a long time, Jin Wei, remembering that there was not much food at home, decided to go out and buy more food for storage.

For some reason, recently he began to hate going out more and more.

——Perhaps, my vampireization is getting serious.

Jin Wei didn't tell An Xin about such a change, and he couldn't find a chance to tell An Xin.

Once there is a crack between each other, it will become extremely difficult to mend it.

Going out for a long time, Jinwei felt that the atmosphere in the village seemed to be quite different from before, and there was a vaguely eerie and strange atmosphere in the air.

Although many people would hide from Jinwei in the past, they are far less exaggerated than they are now.

As soon as they saw Jinwei, the villagers hid in the house for some reason and closed the doors and windows tightly.Although some farmers in the fields have nowhere to hide, they will also pick up the farm tools in their hands and put on a defensive look.

I don't remember what I did to offend the villagers, and Jin Wei, who wants them to be on guard like this, feels very baffled.

I came to the vegetable shop with some luck, should I say that there is no accident?

The small shops in the village were originally open for business, but once they saw Jinwei from a distance, they would quickly close their doors and stop doing business.

--it's wired.

It's just that I stayed in the villa for half a month and didn't come out. Why did this small village become so strange?

——What happened?

Jinwei didn't hear anything from Anxin, and Bai Li sometimes came to visit him during his sick leave and didn't say anything about it. As for Wei Yin...he never came here at all, and it's even more impossible for Jinwei to hear anything from him. .

Feeling very inexplicable, Jinwei walked towards the school with his head sullen and thinking.

—Go and ask Bai Li and the others, maybe...they can tell me.

Jin Wei thought with some uncertainty.

The school was not over yet, Jinwei looked at the time, and there were still about ten minutes before school ended.

Jinwei used his mobile phone to send a text message "I'll wait for you at the school gate" to Bai Li. He didn't know if Bai Li would notice the text message, so he had to pay attention to the students who came out of school.

As soon as school was over, the students walked out of the school gate sporadically, but as soon as they noticed Jinwei standing by the school gate, the students all ran away without exception.

The same reaction as the villagers let Jinwei know that during the period of his accident, something should have happened in this village, and it must be related to Jinwei.

"follow me!"

While he was in a daze, someone grabbed Jinwei's hand suddenly. Before Jinwei could react, the man took Jinwei and ran quickly to an alley where almost no one would pass by.

That person was Bai Li, and Wei Yin followed closely behind.

"Really, why did you come to school?"

The long-lost strenuous exercise made Jin Wei gasp heavily.

"Huh? Your plaster cast has been removed? Didn't you say it would take a month to remove?"

"Uh, um... I went to the hospital to see it a few days ago, and it was said that it recovered quickly, so it was removed."

Jinwei told a lie, but Bai Li, who didn't know much about it, didn't doubt it.

"You came to school... what's the matter?"

"Uh-huh, sort of. What's going on in the village...?"

When this question was asked, Jinwei couldn't help but Bai Li clicked his tongue.

"No problem, what's wrong with you? Asking such a strange question all of a sudden."

Bai Li, who made it clear that he wanted to hide it, showed an awkward smile towards Jin Wei unnaturally.

Probably because Bai Li is a very straight-forward type of person who doesn't beat around the bush, so Jinwei feels that Bai Li is not good at lying.

"Don't lie to me, I know you're lying."

"!Well……"

Bai Li, who had been exposed, lowered his head slightly, and even quarreled with Wei Yin to wink desperately, as if hoping that Wei Yin would help him lie.

Seeing Bai Li like this, Jinwei intuited that what he wanted to know might be very bad.

Wei Yin sighed.

"Forget it, Bai Quer, it's not like you don't know how bad you are at lying."

When Wei Yin finished speaking, Bai Li looked up at Wei Yin in surprise.

He didn't expect Wei Yin to recruit so easily, he had clearly agreed to hide it from Jinwei!

"You probably don't know, after you fell down the stairs, didn't your uncle come to ask you for a month's leave?"

Jin Wei nodded and said, "Does this matter have something to do with it?"

Wei Yin shook his head hastily.

"It's not related. But this incident started after that. About the third day after your uncle came to school to ask you for leave, someone found someone collapsed in the small woods south of the village."

The grove to the south of the village?

If Jinwei remembered correctly, he remembered that the grove should be about 500 meters ahead of a fork not far from Anxin's home.

Although the villagers don't want to get close to An Xin's house, there is a clean river behind the grove over there, and sometimes some villagers will go there to play.Moreover, Jinwei had only heard from the white oak before that there seemed to be a lot of plump wild vegetables in the grove, so some villagers would go there to pick them.

"That person fainted, but it doesn't matter to me, right?"

"That's how it should have been."

originally?

Jinwei looked at Wei Yin in puzzlement.

"It was determined by the health center that he fainted due to anemia. But it is said that he was severely anemic and needed a blood transfusion. When his family wiped his body, two obvious objects were found stuck in his neck. through the hole."

As he spoke, Wei Yin pointed to the bottom of his neck.

Jinwei couldn't help but tremble in his heart, the things that came to his mind were really not good.

"Did you know something?"

Wei Yin looked at Jinwei with tentative eyes, Jinwei was a little guilty, and for a moment he even wondered if the man in front of him knew everything already.

"How is it possible, if I knew, how could I come to ask you."

Jin Wei laughed awkwardly.

I was very afraid that Wei Yin would see something, but Wei Yin didn't say much, just smiled lightly.

"Later, the villager who fainted woke up and said that someone attacked him and bit his neck to suck his blood. Originally, because the murderer lowered his head, the villagers couldn't see his face clearly, but in a coma Before, the villagers saw the true face of the murderer. Guess who it is?"

Wei Yin's voice sounded a little brisk, Jin Wei hoped it was just his illusion.

"...You mean... me?"

——I went... and attacked the villagers! ?

--How can this be! ?because I……

Although he wanted to deny it, Jinwei didn't have any definite memory to overthrow it.

"At first everyone thought it was too dark, but he was wrong. After all, everyone in the village knows that you rolled down the stairs and called an ambulance. No matter how you think about it, you can't recover so quickly."

Impossible to heal so quickly...?

Jinwei couldn't help looking at his toes.

Vampires have excellent self-healing abilities, just like he is now, the plaster plaster that originally took a month to remove, but the vampire just melted and healed instantly...

"But within a few days, the same thing happened again, and the villagers who were attacked also testified against you. There should be five or six cases so far, and every villager who was attacked saw you before they fell into a coma. .”

"So now... everyone is afraid to go out at night. There are rumors in the village... that you are a monster..."

Bai Li, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

"Although everyone says that, I believe that the person who did this is definitely not you!"

"!"

Hibiscus was surprised.

In fact, whether he did it himself, even Jinwei dare not say for sure.

He who can sleepwalk to suck Anxin's blood has no credibility at all.

"why……"

Jinwei and Bai Li didn't get along for too long, and he didn't quite understand why Bai Li could trust a person he hadn't known so long.

"There's no reason, right? Aren't we friends? Isn't it normal for friends to trust each other!"

Feeling a warm current deep in his heart, Jinwei was moved by Bai Li's words.

"What you said is too simple." Wei Yin snorted coldly, "Didn't your parents tell you to stop dating Jinwei recently?"

"yes?"

Bai Li hesitated for a while, then nodded.

——That's why you suddenly dragged me here just now...

"I'm sorry, I ran to you without knowing anything..."

"It's all right!" Bai Li quickly patted Jinwei's shoulder, "I'm very happy that you came to see me! Well... Although I can't come to see you in a fair manner, I will try to prove your innocence of!"

Bai Yue patted his chest and assured.

Prove your innocence?

how to prove?

Jinwei, who couldn't even trust himself, couldn't ask in the end, so he could only accept Bai Li's kindness with a light smile.

"um. Thank you."

Suddenly, Jinwei met Wei Yin's eyes.

Inexplicably feeling a chill, Jinwei felt a little shivering in his heart.

——This is... what does it feel like?

*

After a few days of calm, Jinwei and Anxin still had little conversation.The vegetables we need to eat every day have the help of white oak, so we don't have to worry about the lack of food.

Jinwei is very grateful for Bai Li's enthusiastic help, and also glad that he can know such a good friend.

"Dididi!"

Hearing the phone ring, Jinwei put down the book in his hand and took the phone.

The mobile phone received a text message from an unfamiliar number. The content of the text message was very short, only one sentence.

——Now come to the grove south of the village, or something will happen to your friend.

Such an inexplicable text message, sent at this point after ten o'clock in the evening, really makes people a little concerned about the sender's purpose.

"Who are you……"

After entering these words on the phone, Jinwei chose to reply.

After a while, the phone rang again, and it was the reply letter from the mysterious man.

- It doesn't matter who I am.But if you don't come here soon, you will wait to collect your friend's body tomorrow.

friend……

It's a white oak! ?Still Wei Yin! ?

Although he didn't talk directly with the other party, judging from the reading between the lines, Jinwei felt that the other party didn't seem to be joking.

You can't tell An Xin about this matter, and you can't cause An Xin any more trouble.

——I'll come right away, don't do anything to my friend!

After typing these few words on the mobile phone with trembling hands, Jinwei rushed to An Xin's work study, where An Xin was working in front of the computer.

"!?What’s wrong with you?"

At first he thought that Jinwei was thirsty for blood again, but seeing Jinwei's unusually clear eyes, An Xin heaved a sigh of relief, he knew it was not.

"Uh...well, Bai Li said he needed to call me for something urgent, so I'll go out now."

Although Jinwei is lying now, but his anxious face made Anxin believe what Jinwei said that "Bai Li has urgent business with him".

"Well, I see. Come back as soon as possible and be careful on the way."

Nodding his head, he didn't care to say anything more, Jinwei hurried downstairs, put on his shoes, and quickly ran towards the grove.

The village with no sound at night makes people feel a little creepy, Jinwei doesn't know if it's because he feels so timid.

Although Bai Qu said that there are many good things in the grove to the south, in fact, Jinwei always felt that the grove was a bit gloomy, so he didn't want to go to that side road even in normal times.and

Now, walking on this narrow path in the middle of the night, if it weren't for the light of the flashlight of the mobile phone, Jinwei would not be able to walk this way at all.

There is the sound of wind blowing around, it sounds like a baby is crying.

The wind was a bit strong and cold at night, and hearing the terrible sound of the wind, Jinwei couldn't help shrinking his shoulders.

If you can barely see the side road because there is still a little moonlight, then the forest is so dark that there is almost no light at all.Although it is autumn, the trees that have not yet started to shed their leaves are still luxuriant, blocking the moonlight in the sky.

Although he came to the woods according to the instructions of the text message, the small forest is still a bit big, and Jinwei didn't know where to go next.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but the eerie feeling of the woods has become more and more severe, and Jinwei really wants to escape from the woods and go home now.

Suddenly, Jinwei heard a sound of rustling, obvious footsteps and a muffled hum from not far away.

--what's the situation?

Barely hearing the source of the sound, Jinwei cautiously walked towards the source of the sound.

After walking for a while, Jinwei saw the source of the voice.

Not far away, there was a man wearing a black hoodie who didn't know whether he was a man or a woman, sitting on top of a boy in casual clothes. The boy underneath was struggling constantly.But the boy below probably couldn't match the strength of the person on him, and he was easily suppressed in the end.

Then, the man in the hoodie moved towards the boy's neck slowly...

The familiar scene gave Jinwei a bad premonition, he quickly took two steps, and took a photo of the two people with his mobile phone. The moment he saw the boy below, Jinwei was so shocked that the mobile phone fell to the ground.

It turned out to be a white oak!

Bai Li, who had always had a playful smile as if he didn't know the sorrow, was now full of fear, and there were even tears in his eyes.

The moment he saw Jinwei, Bai Li began to twist his body vigorously, as if he was asking Jinwei for help.

Jin Wei was very scared, he really wanted to run away, but he couldn't leave Bai Li alone!

This is probably the most courageous time in my life.

Jinwei thought to himself.

Not caring about other things, Jinwei rushed forward, trying his best to yank the man in the hoodie from behind, but the man remained motionless.

"Let go of my friend!"

Jinwei roared angrily, wondering if there was a reaction to this sentence, the man in the hoodie slowly raised his head, he took off his hat and turned to look at Jinwei.

What Jinwei saw was a face that was so terrifying that it probably shouldn't be called a human face.

It was a face so rotten that even the skull inside could be seen clearly, with pointed fangs exposed, and there was blood on the fangs and the corners of the mouth.Jinwei could tell that the man in front of him was smiling.

Now the word creepy is not enough to describe Jinwei's mood.

"elder brother……"

As the man said, he slowly stood up from the stunned Bai Li, and then approached Jinwei.

Feeling that this man is dangerous, Jinwei's legs trembled. When the man took a step forward, Jinwei took a step back.

Although Jinwei wanted to run away, but his trembling legs wanted to run away with Bai Quer, who was probably no less frightened than Jinwei, which was a bit unrealistic.

"elder brother……"

--elder brother?He is calling brother?Who are you calling?

At this moment, Jinwei suddenly found that the rotten face of the man in front of him seemed to be slowly recovering!

Originally, almost all of the face was rotten, but now it slowly turned into half of the face and half of the face. In the end, there was no sign of rot on that face anymore.

The moment he saw the face clearly, Jinwei was so surprised that he could hardly speak.

"...Ko, Kogure..."

Mumbling, Jinwei called out the name of the person who should not have appeared in this world.

The person on the opposite side who was called "Xiaomu" by Jinwei has a face that is incomparable to Jinwei. If he just stood there quietly, it would be difficult for anyone to tell who they are. .

"Why... Xiaogure, you are here, you, shouldn't you be dead?"

This "Xiaogure" is Jinwei's twin brother and one of the victims of that disaster.

But Jinmu, who was supposed to be in the sea of ​​fire, appeared here now, and Jinwei couldn't help being stunned.

"And your face, why is it so weird? Are you... a vampire too?"

Jinmu's whole body exuded a gloomy and cold aura, he smiled strangely, his exposed white teeth glowed with a little coldness.

"Brother, I finally found you."

The grinning Jinmu made Jinwei involuntarily feel a chill.Even though he felt fear, Jinwei couldn't escape.

Jinmu, who smelled like a rotting corpse, reached out and hugged Jinwei, his body without any warmth didn't feel like a human at all.

"Are you... really Kogure?"

Jin Wei felt his voice trembling.

"It's me, brother, don't you even recognize me?"

As Jinmu said, he gave a weird laugh.

"I am not dead. My parents hid me when that bad guy came to our house that day, so I am not dead,"

I don't know if it's because Jinmu has never received formal education, or because he has little communication with others because of autism, so the pronunciation of Jinmu who is speaking intermittently is even a bit substandard.

"Bad guy?"

Sure enough, that disaster was not as everyone said, but something else hidden?

Jin Wei's body stiffened for a moment.

"The bad guy... is right next to my brother, he lives in a field of flowers..."

It was very light, but said in a cold voice like casting a curse, Jinmu laughed "hehehe".

——The former Kogure...was he someone who gave people such a chilling feeling?No, compared to this, who is the person Xiao Mu mentioned?Beside me...the one who lives in the flowers...

Jinwei thought hard for a while, and the person he finally thought of made Jinwei want to be deterred by the facts.

"Brother, I thought of it."

Even without looking at Jinwei's face, Jinmu could guess what Jinwei was thinking.

"You're lying to me! I don't believe Uncle would do such a thing!"

Jinwei pushed Jinmu away violently, and he shook his head vigorously.

He didn't believe it, he didn't believe that An Xin would harm him.

If An Xin wanted to destroy his whole family, why did he take him in?Why...you have to be so nice to him.

"That's him. The bad guy in black came to the house. Mom and Dad, the bad guy quarreled, Mom and Dad died, the bad guy... set fire. Hot, so hot..."

The words were a little inexplicable, but Jinwei understood the meaning of Jinmu's words.

It should mean that Anxin went to their house, had a dispute with his parents, and finally killed his parents and set fire to the house.

But Jinwei didn't understand that An Xinming, who claimed to be his father's friend, was very sad at the funeral, and Jinwei didn't think that sadness was faked.Moreover, if An Xin wanted to destroy their family, why did he take the initiative to take him in who was helpless?

The villagers once said that when they found Jinwei, Jinwei had collapsed in a corner not far away.

Although Jinwei didn't know why he fainted in that kind of place at that time, but thinking about it, he might have witnessed what happened at that time.

Although he can't remember what happened at that time at all now, it may prove that he forgot because he was stimulated.

That being the case, it is reasonable to say that it is impossible for Anxin not to notice that one Jinwei has been missed.At that time, An Xin could have killed Jinwei without carrying such a burden.

But why?

Although the facts from his own brother's mouth finally proved that the "father is innocent" that Jinwei held in his heart was true, but it also implicated another Jinwei's favorite person.

Moreover, the reality is full of contradictions, so that Jinwei has no idea whether the real facts are really as Jinmu said.

Perhaps, Jinwei didn't want to believe what Jinmu said at all.

What's more, Jinwei couldn't think of any motive for Anxin to kill.How deep and bloody is it that makes An Xin want to kill his whole family?

"...You...are also a vampire...?"

Jin Wei asked with some uncertainty.

"Yeah, brother, too, it smells like blood, that person's smell."

As Jinmu said, he leaned over again, brought the tip of his nose to Jinwei's neck and inhaled vigorously.

"!"

Jin Wei shrank her body in shock.

"My brother doesn't believe me."

There was a flash of cunning in Jinmu's eyes.

"!"

Even if you don't say anything, you can be seen through by Jinmu, which makes Jinwei feel terrified.He subconsciously wanted to push Jinmu away again, but Jinmu hugged him so tightly that Jinwei couldn't push him away.

"I, I didn't! It's just... Uncle, how could he harm me..."

He doesn't want to believe it.

The man he likes will never be able to share some of his feelings with him, but Jinwei doesn't want to fall in love with the man who killed his parents.

"Brother doesn't know him at all, trust him, don't trust me."

Jinmu's words touched Jinwei's mind.

Even if he wanted to deny it, but because he was powerless to refute it, Jinwei couldn't deny it, so he had to keep silent in the end.

"I... don't believe you, it's just... I need some time. Let me... think about it."

I don't want to admit it, but Jin Wei really doesn't know anything about An Xin.

Anxin has his own wall, but that wall is by no means the only one that can be broken, and the only one who can enter that wall may be the "child".

It would be great if we could learn more about Anxin.

At least at this time, he can answer with certainty that he believes in An Xin.But now, Jinwei doesn't know who is Anxin, except that Anxin can't eat garlic, doesn't like to be in contact with people, his job is writing novels, and he is a vampire, Jinwei knows nothing about him.

No, there was one more thing he knew.

That's the fact that An Xin wouldn't like him.

Jin Wei smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Brother, do you want to think about it?"

Jinmu suddenly let go of the hand that was holding Jinwei tightly, he tilted his head, looked at Jinwei for a long time, and finally nodded emphatically.

"Brother, if you want to think about it, then think about it. I will be here every day, waiting for you."

Jinmu smiled strangely, suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he laughed foolishly.Jinmu put his hand into the pocket of his loose trousers, then took out a pistol glowing silver and gave it to Jinwei.

"Avenge my father and mother, this, kill the bad guys. Brother, think about it, think about it, do it, but, hurry up. I will... be hungry."

With trembling hands, Jinwei shook his head and didn't want to take it, but the next moment, Jinmu forced the silver pistol into Jinwei's hand.

Looking at the pistol in his hand, Jinwei's heart thumped wildly. Although he didn't want to pick it up, he put the pistol in his jacket pocket as if under a spell.

"I'm so thirsty, hungry, hungry."

Jinmu's eyes slowly drifted to Bai Quer not far away, he licked his lips and said.

Jin Wei was startled, he hurriedly took a quick step, turned and ran in front of Bai Oak, and opened his hands to block Bai Oak's body.

"! You are not allowed to shoot at the villagers of the village again! If it is blood..."

Jinwei racked his brains for a long time, but he couldn't think of where to get Jinmu's blood.

Even he himself has to ingest blood regularly, he...

——By the way, that medicine!

Jinwei couldn't help but be thankful that he took the medicine with him.

He took out the medicine bottle from his pocket in a panic, although only blood ingots are enough, but...

Seeing Jinmu's bloodthirsty look, and thinking of how much the inhibitor can suppress vampirism, Jinwei finally decided to give Jinmu both medicines.

"Don't hurt the people in the village. Remember to take these two medicines every night. The red one will turn into blood if you put it in the water. So... listen to me."

Jinmu stared at Jinwei's outstretched hand for a long time, and after hesitating for a moment, Jinmu slowly reached out to take it.

"I will, be obedient. Don't hurt, villager. Wait for brother in the woods."

Jinmu held the medicine bottle in his hand, he smiled strangely, his scarlet tongue kept licking the body of the bottle, making it wet.
