Forget about hope

? Lu Xiao was still waiting here. After waiting for a long time, the person he wanted to see never came.

won't come...

No, he will definitely come!

Lu Xiao had the thought of leaving again and again, and suppressed that thought again and again.I don't know how many times this kind of ideological struggle has been repeated in the past few decades, but he has never left.

In winter in this city, it is normal for the outdoor temperature to reach minus [-] to [-] degrees, but Lu Xiao is still wearing a vest and shorts, sitting in the middle of the playground, with her chin resting on her back, waiting quietly.Those were the clothes he wore when he died, and they hadn't been changed in decades.

Yes, there is a ghost named Lu Xiao in this school.

There was no one on the playground today, and they didn't even do some exercises. At times like this, Lu Xiao could always be shaken.

He won't be here today...

Suddenly, a pair of hands pressed on Lu Xiao's shoulders, which startled him.

Is that person finally here?Wait, it's impossible for humans to touch him!

Lu Xiao stood up and turned his head, a boy with a smirk was standing behind him.

"Hey, so you are a ghost too!" Qin Yuqi looked at Lu Xiao excitedly.

"Ah?" Lu Xiao obviously didn't react.

There is also a ghost named Qin Yuqi in this school.

Today is the monthly exam, seeing the students sweating profusely answering the papers, Qin Yuqi was a little embarrassed to sit in the class, of course, because he was a little bored, he decided to go out for a walk.In order not to spoil the image of a good student who never arrives late and leaves early, let's walk around the school, so Qin Yuqi walked to the playground and saw Lu Xiao sitting in the middle of the playground.

At this time, no one should be as idle as Qin Yuqi. Could it be that the boy sitting in the middle of the playground is also a ghost?In order to verify her thoughts, Qin Yuqi suddenly put her hand on the boy's shoulder.The boy stood up as if frightened and turned his head, looking at Qin Yuqi in shock.

The rumor that every school is haunted seems to be true.

"What are you doing sitting on the playground?" Qin Yuqi asked

Qin Yuqi found that making friends was not as difficult as she imagined, and it didn't take long for her to get acquainted with Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao replied: "Wait for someone."

Qin Yuqi: "Who are you waiting for?"

Lu Xiao: "My brother."

Qin Yuqi: "You also know that you are dead, right, why wait for him?"

Lu Xiao still replied calmly: "Because my brother said that he will definitely come. If he comes and I'm not here, he will be anxious."

Qin Yuqi: "But even if he came, he wouldn't be able to see you, otherwise, the rumors of the school being haunted would have spread long ago, okay?"

Lu Xiao smiled: "It's okay, it's good that I can see him anyway!"

Qin Yuqi: "Then what's your brother's name, let me see if I recognize him."

Lu Xiao: "Lu Hexi."

Qin Yuqi: "..."

Lu Xiao: "What's the matter? Do you really know my brother?"

Qin Yuqi: "I don't know, I don't know."

Qin Yuqi finally knew how to turn the hero in her heart into a bastard—just listen to what happened to their family members.

Lu Xiao was brought up by his elder brother who was 16 years older than him. His elder brother loved him very much, and he also respected and loved his elder brother very much.

Lu Xiao went to junior high school when he was 12 years old. For the safety and convenience of going to and from school, he would live in the school dormitory during the holidays, while his elder brother was a fireman, and he traveled with the army to rescue and provide relief. The opportunities for the two brothers to meet each other became more and more frequent. less and less.

During the summer vacation of Lu Xiao's second year of junior high school, his elder brother finally found time to meet Lu Xiao. Before leaving, he specially asked Lu Xiao to wait for him at the door of the dormitory.Lu Xiao was also obedient, and moved a bench from early in the morning to sit at the door of the dormitory building and wait.

However, I don't know which death flag was triggered, but just before noon that day, a major earthquake that was rare in a century occurred in Xueyou Town.

Although Lu Xiao was only a few steps away from the outside, a few seconds were not enough for him to escape.Lu Xiao was buried downstairs in the collapsed dormitory. There was basically no trauma on his body. The floor and corners created a small living space for him. However, how long can he survive in the darkness without water and food?

When Lu Xiao woke up from the darkness, he found that he didn't even have the strength to cry.

By the way, isn't brother coming?

Brother must be fine!

Didn't brother say that he would protect him no matter what?

Now, my brother has already got off the train, right? Will I be able to see my brother soon?

Lu Xiao didn't want to die yet, at least, he wanted to live until he saw his brother!

How long has it been outside?It shouldn't be evening yet.My brother is a firefighter, which is his pride, so my brother should go to save others first, I just need to wait, my brother will come to save him, and my brother will definitely not leave him alone!Lu Xiao firmly believed in this, and his brother became his only hope.

From this moment on, Lu Xiao began to wait.

After an unknown amount of time, his rotting corpse was revealed in the excavated ruins. The small and helpless skeleton was carried away for burial, while his obsession and soul were still waiting there.

After some time, Lu Xiao clearly realized that she had become a ghost.He knew that if someone could come to him at that time, he would not have died at all, but he still decided to continue waiting for his brother there.Of course, Lu Xiao did blame his brother a little bit at first, but after a long time, the miss overwhelmed the blame.

Soon after, a high school was built on the ruins of his junior high school.

It is still the school gate with people coming and going, the teaching building with the gray exterior wall, and the holly tree standing in front of the gate, and the dormitory building where he was buried in the past has become the back playground, covered with artificial turf, brushed out running, A leading exercise platform has been built, and the music of radio exercises will sound at 09:30 every morning.

From here, students graduate one after another, and freshmen enter school one after another. They don't know that the lawn they picked under their feet was once a ruin, and a boy with big eyes has been waiting for his brother's arrival. .

And that brother never came...

Where did Lu Xiao's brother go?

This, Qin Yuqi really knows, and probably many people in this city know it too.

About 30 years ago, there was a huge earthquake in Xueyou Town, and many people were trapped and died in the ruins like Lu Xiao.It was also this earthquake that created a hero named Lu Hexi.

Many TV stations have reported his deeds. He is a firefighter and soldier. He returned to his hometown during the holidays to visit his younger brother who was in junior high school. He was hit by an earthquake just as he got off the train.He was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe, and even risked aftershocks to participate in the rescue and relief work as soon as possible, and rescued countless people buried in the ruins, but he forgot that his only younger brother was still there waiting for him.

In the eyes of those rescued by him, he is a hero, a light, and even a god. In the eyes of the people who don't know Lu Xiao, he is a good person who puts the safety of others first and is a noble person who is ready to sacrifice at any time In the eyes of Qin Yuqi, who was indignant after hearing the story Lu Xiao told, he was a hateful guy who didn't take other people's hopes and promises seriously, and sacrificed his younger brother's life in exchange for reputation and benefits.Maybe Qin Yuqi shouldn't comment on the hero of this city like this, but after all, he has never experienced that disaster, so he can only stand by Lu Xiao's side from the perspective of an outsider

However, in Lu Xiao's eyes, Lu Hexi will always be a good brother.

So, he has been waiting for his brother's arrival.

Even, I don't know when to wait...

Are there so many ghosts in every city?Qin Yuqi wanted to find out Lu Xiao's bastard brother this weekend, so she came to the street to collect information.

The starving ghost uncle in the Republic of China said that he had met Lu Hexi before, but that was 30 years ago.

The girl with braided horns who died of illness half a year ago said that she had heard the story of Lu Hexi in the moral and ideological class.

Auntie, a housewife who committed suicide by jumping off a building 20 years ago, said that she was a neighbor of Lu Hexi and the others, but their home was destroyed by an earthquake 30 years ago, and he didn't know about it afterwards.

The old man who died six years ago said that he heard that Lu Hexi left the city after the rescue and relief work, and never came back.

Qin Yuqi didn't know why she felt a sense of justice when she heard Lu Xiao's story, and wanted to help him find Lu Hexi.Maybe he just simply hates irresponsible parents, maybe Qin Yuqi also unconsciously regards Lu Xiao as his friend just like Xia Mingxiao unconsciously regards Qin Yuqi as a friend.

However, she didn't expect it to be so difficult to find someone, so Qin Yuqi had no choice but to return with a sigh. ?
