Fairy Tale of Brothers War

Knowing Ema's whereabouts was on the evening of the third day. When Eri was cleaning Ema's room, she accidentally saw the well-preserved postcard on the table. On the picture was a girl sitting under a cherry blossom tree and concentrating on reading a book. Scene, this is—the birthday present I gave my sister a few years ago?In an instant, a flash of light flashed through Huili's mind!

——she knows where her sister is!

How did you forget?That was the place where they had lived together for 12 years, it was the place that contained her and her childhood memories, how could she never have thought of that!How could she not have thought of this!Where my sister can go!And this!

There was no one in the house, everyone hurried out to find someone, and Huili didn't care about calling other people, so she just took a coat and went out.This time, it doesn't matter whether her sister scolds her or blames her, as long as her sister returns home safely, that's enough.

Yes, sister is different to her.

Huili's biological mother passed away early, and his father was also indifferent to the affairs of the two sisters at that time, and just kept drinking.In Eri's few memories of 16 years, the person who accompanied her day and night, except for the screaming Julie, was her older sister, Ema Hyuga.When she was born, the person who held her in her arms was neither her mother nor her father, but her sister.The person who told her those beautiful and moving fairy tales and sang those popular nursery rhymes was not a relative, not a friend, but a sister.To Eri, Ema is not so much a sister, but a kind of spiritual support.

It is often heard that no one in this world will be unconditionally nice to another person, but Eili has always felt that this kind of statement is wrong for her.For example, when I was young, my elder sister always treated my younger sister unconditionally, and when I grew up, my younger sister always wanted to treat my elder sister unconditionally.

Eri guessed right.

Ema, who came out of the hospital alone, went to the former home.

Ema always felt that she was different from Eri.

She is not as strong as that child. When encountering such a thing, all she can think of is to run away—even though she knows that this is not a good way, she has no choice!Knowing that the person I have always loved has been hurt so deeply by me, what kind of despair is this?Why didn't she discover the reluctance in the child's smile to her earlier?From childhood to adulthood, that child has never lied to her.But when did she learn to lie?

The light-white fingertips brushed the yellowed photo in his hand. The little girl in the photo was only three or four years old, but she was also smiling. Yes, Eili loved to smile since she was a child, no matter who she was, she always smiled. Yes, at that time she couldn't help but wonder if one day the child would be kidnapped and count the money.Seeing such a smiling little girl all day long, she felt relieved and relieved from the bottom of her heart. After all, it is difficult to take care of a child who cries all day long.

The crescent moon hangs in the sky, and the swaying branches cast mottled shadows on the ground. Ema leaned against the window and rolled her dry eyes. How long has it been since she escaped from the hospital? I don't remember clearly, but I just felt that I should stay away from that place and avoid that child.

Many times, we all know that escaping is not the answer, we just don't have the courage to face it.

"Eri, I'm sorry." Tears slid down her eyelids and instantly wet her cheeks and landed on the smiling face of the girl in the photo, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." She kept the photo in her hand, saying sorry over and over again.She never thought of hurting anyone in the past, she never thought of it!Tears are surging, like the Milky Way breaking its embankment.

She leaned against the edge of the window, remembering that when she was a child, when she came back from school at dusk, she could see the child squatting at the door waiting for her with Julie in her arms; she remembered that when she grew up, she could see the inside of the house every time she came back from working late at night. I think of the little night light that is on; I think of sitting on the bedside of the child and telling stories to her every night before going to bed; I think of cleaning the house with that child every weekend; flowers; think of the messy paintings they daubed together...

But before they knew it, since when did their hearts have been so far apart—this was obviously true, but none of them wanted to admit it.

"Eili, my sister will tell you a story." She leaned against the window, her voice hoarse: "A long time ago..."

She looked up at the bright moonlight outside the window, and the extremely light-colored flaxen-colored long hair was covered with a layer of wonderful luster by the frost-white fluorescent light.It seemed that a person was talking to herself, and she seemed to be talking to someone about something. She suddenly laughed while talking, and suddenly cried while talking.

"Kang Dang——" The door of the room was pushed open all of a sudden, and the wooden door hit the wall with a loud sound and bounced back.Ema was startled by the voice and looked up, but saw Eri standing at the door with red and swollen eyes.

Eili still remembers that when her younger sister and older sister had quarreled, she would always stay in this room and wait for her older sister to come to her. At that time, she was leaning against the window looking at the sun or the moon in the sky just like her current older sister. , Thinking about when my sister will come over.It's just that Eili is not very confident at the moment. She feels that her sister doesn't want to see her, otherwise she won't avoid her.She bent the corner of her mouth, trying to make her smile look natural: "Sister, let's go home."

Home?The originally dim expression in Ema's eyes became even darker after hearing this word, the tears on her face seemed to have dried up and were sticky on her face, and it hurt a little when the night wind blew, "Eli, you really Think I'm your sister?"

Huili's face turned pale, but she still took away the astonishment on Cai Cai's face with a relaxed tone, "Sister, what are you talking about? Who are you if you are not my sister?" She took a few steps forward, wanting to reach Beside Ema, "Okay, sister, it's cold here. Come back with me, my brothers and parents are very worried about you."

Ema turned her head to look at the lone figure on the street outside the window, ignoring what Eri said later, "Yeah, who am I? If I say I'm not your real sister, hey, Eri, if I'm not your sister , Is there really no relationship at all between us?"

Ema knew that her background was some time after Miwa's wedding, and Rintaro asked her to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the formalities.She was accidentally bumped into while walking on the road with the documents, and the papers in her hands were scattered all over the place. When she bent down to pick them up, she accidentally found the particularly eye-catching two words behind her name: adoption.For a while, she couldn't accept it. After calling Rintaro, she realized that her biological parents had passed away in another mountaineering accident many years ago. Rintaro, as his father's friend, took her back home when she was only two years old. .Not many people in the family knew about this matter, but Eili was not among them.

"Stop talking stupid things." Eri reached out and grabbed Ema's arm, the tentacles were icy cold, Eri frowned slightly, "Sister, stop making trouble, I know you have been in a bad mood for the past two days, let's go back first, go back Say it again, okay?"

Ema slapped Eili's hand away, "This is not stupid, Eili! I'm not your real sister! There was never any relationship between us!"

In fact, should have thought of it a long time ago, shouldn't it?For example, on the day when the birth mother gave birth in the hospital, if she gave birth again, how could the mother have dystocia or even blood collapse during the birth?Also because of the premature birth, Huili's physical function has been weak, and her injuries have not improved for ten days and a half months.Another example is that she could understand the words of the little squirrel Julie since she was a child, but Eri couldn't understand it no matter what.

"Actually, I'm the outsider in this family, right?"

When I was young, naughty children often said that Ema was always talking to squirrels, she was a weirdo!Eri was not forgiving, and when she heard someone say that, she couldn't help waving her small fists to fight with them, because I don't know how much I suffered when I was a child.

【Sister, tell them that you can't talk to squirrels!You're not who they say you are, are you? 】

At that time, the little child still had bruises on her face, and she was pulling her sleeves with a mournful face.How did you answer yourself?Ema closed her eyes and thought about it for a while, yes, since then, she has lied to her child. This lie has been told for so many years, and the corners of her mouth curled up, as if mocking something: "After all, I I'm lying to you too, we've been lying to each other all this time."

Eri didn't quite understand what Ema said, or she understood the literal meaning, but why didn't she understand the essential meaning?Why does my sister say she has been lying to her all this time?And my sister said that she is an outsider in this family?Sure enough, it was the prenatal depression caused by too much blow, right?But no matter what, going home first is the serious business. My sister has been away alone for two days, and I don’t know if my body can still hold on. The baby in my stomach is also very important.Thinking of this, she took a step forward and held Ema's hand, surprised at the coldness of her palm, and at the same time she stubbornly pulled Ema out, "If there is anything else, let's go home first and talk about it? Everyone is worried about you , even if you don’t think about yourself, think about the baby in your stomach.”

Ema raised her eyes and looked at the younger sister in front of her—she was standing there, with that faint smile still on her pretty face.Ema suddenly felt that the person in front of her was so strange!Her every move, every frown and smile she is not familiar with or understands!She even suspected that the person in front of her was still lying to her to force a smile on her face!She really wanted to tear off the mask of her smile at the moment to see the real face under the mask!

"Why are you lying to me! Why are you still lying to me at this moment!" Ema stepped back subconsciously, throwing away Eili and holding her hand!

"Sister! What's wrong with you?" Hui Li was stunned for a moment.

No, not right!That kid Eri would never lie to herself!Never lie!Who is this person in front of him?

"No, no! You're not my sister! I'm not your sister either!" Tears poured out of her eyes one after another, Ema shook her head frantically and stepped back, "What did I do, what did I do! I did something that hurt you so much! This family can no longer accommodate me, and I am the only outsider in this family..."

Eri frowned as she listened to her sister's delirious nonsense, her sister's mood is very unstable now, so she should call her brothers first!Thinking of this, Huili just wanted to take the phone out of his pocket, when suddenly, the world wobbled!The ground under his feet was up and down, and soon, the whole ground was shaking violently!Ema lost her balance and fell to the ground, while Eili staggered and supported the wall beside her.

earthquake?

Eri was shocked!Step forward to protect Ema's body.Earthquakes often occur in this place in Japan, but the scale of this one should not be underestimated.The pause after the earthquake is the most important moment for people to escape. The place where they are located is the first floor. In other words, as long as they take advantage of this interval to escape from the room, there is no danger.Thinking of this, Eri supported the potbellied Ema.Unexpectedly, as soon as she got up, Ema collapsed on the ground again, her face turned pale, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, "It hurts! My stomach hurts!"

Eli paused, and immediately realized that now was not the time to delay, she limped towards the door with Ema on her arm, and said softly to Ema as she walked: "Sister, hold on! When it's safe, I'll call an ambulance right away..." Her body was shaking, her head was in severe pain, and her ears were humming constantly!The whole earth was trembling, she couldn't even tell the direction, she just felt the place where she was splitting apart.It was terrible. There was no experience like today's in any earthquake in the past.

suddenly!Accompanied by a loud noise, a few steps away from the door, the wall next to them collapsed in an instant...
