A young reporter working hard in the entertainment industry

【12】thepast

What you still have seems to be far away from your eyes, and what has passed away becomes vivid again. ——Goethe's "Faust" ------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------

Xu Nuo was born in a bustling prefecture-level city, with a bustling urban area and quiet mountains and rivers.

Xu's family lived in the suburbs, promised to go to the suburban elementary school, and walked to and from school every day. He had an older sister who was admitted to a key high school in the city in the past two years. She studied in a boarding school and had a vacation once a month.

Elder sister Xu Yan is Xu Xu's favorite person in the whole world. He has always followed behind her and set her as an example.

Xu Nuo knows that his sister's exams are almost always the first in the grade, and her delicate and beautiful appearance always attracts a bunch of teenagers to peek out of her classroom window.

He likes to stay on the path that his sister must pass to go home on Friday evening, waiting for her slender and beautiful figure to appear in the afterglow of the setting sun.

He likes that his sister calls out happily every time she sees him: "Xiao Nuo!"

Then two figures, one big and one small, went home holding hands. Mom had already prepared dinner at home. When the siblings sat down at the dining table with bowls and chopsticks, at this time, Dad should also push the door open and say, "I'm back, the food is delicious today!"

He thought it was forever.

until that day.

"Sister, there is a person in the water."

"Really, it's a woman!" Xu Yan looked at the struggling woman a little far away from the shore in surprise, "Xiao Nuo, sit here and don't move, I'll save that person."

"Sister, it's dangerous."

"Don't worry, my water skills are very good." Xu Yan took off his school uniform jacket and plunged into the water.

Xu Yan's water skills are really good. After some hard work, she successfully dragged the woman ashore. The woman's physical strength had reached its limit, and she kept muttering: "Go, leave..."

Xu Yan seemed to understand, she put on her coat, and said to Xu Nuo: "You go home and ask Dad to come over, I'll go to the nearest clinic with her on my back."

Xiao Nuo immediately nodded in agreement, spread her legs and ran home.

But he didn't expect that when he returned here with his father, the riverside had already been cordoned off, and several policemen surrounded the riverside.

A man in a gray suit with a temperament that was out of tune with his surroundings was also present, talking to the police.

Two lifeless figures lay by the river.

Xu Nuo's sister is also one of them.

Her thin and slender figure was lying on the grass-covered river bank, covered from head to toe with a piece of cold white cloth, and a piece of plain school uniform sleeve was exposed from under the white cloth.

Xu Nuo couldn't remember the scene at that time clearly, as if he vaguely remembered that he stopped far away and didn't dare to move forward, while his father ran over, but was stopped by those policemen.

The man in the gray suit looked indifferently at the nearly mad father, and then his eyes fell on Xu Nuo.

The kind of lofty, as if looking at the eyes of ants, promises to be unforgettable forever.

The year Xu Nuo lost his sister Xu Yan, he was ten years old.

————————————————————————

"Chairman Qian has always been kind and charitable. This time he died to save the girl who committed suicide. Unfortunately, both of them failed to go ashore..." A fat woman with exquisite appearance appeared on the TV screen, her eyes filled with pain, " Our reporter Guan Minzhi sent a report..."

The news of this interview was scrolling on the TV, and the rumors appeared at that time.

Rumor has it that the eldest daughter of the Xu family was a teenage girl who had messed around outside at the age of 16, and when she got pregnant, she was ashamed to see her and committed suicide by jumping into the river.

Strange eyes began to gather around their family, and the neighbors would point fingers at their parents when they passed by, "It's not like this, it's not like this!" No matter how little Xu Nuo waved his thin arms, "My sister didn't commit suicide, my sister went to rescue people……"

But no one believed a ten-year-old kid.

-----------------

Xu Nuo remembered the story that her sister told her about the coming of wolves. The shepherd child lied to people for the first time and people would believe them. The second time they lied, people would still believe them. But the third time when wolves really came , No matter how much he shouted, no one believed him.

I'm not a sheep-herding child, why doesn't anyone want to believe me?

-----------------

The youngest daughter of the neighbor next door always gathers a group of people to gossip at the door of Xu's house, "I said that people who look pure and innocent are actually very cheap in their bones. I know when I see boys around her." An accident will happen, so if you don’t know how to check it, it’s the right choice to kill yourself early, and I don’t know if it’s copied from always taking the first place in the grade..."

Xu Nuo knows that this vicious girl has always hoped that her sister can disappear from this world, because in this way, she can have the opportunity to replace her sister and become the darling of everyone.

"My daughter is gone, why does she have to bear such an inexplicable stigma!" The father aged a lot overnight, "I'm going to sue that reporter for defamation!" Inherited congenital heart disease, fell ill due to the pain of losing her daughter.

When Xu Nuo was ten years old, he learned to be as inconspicuous as possible, to stay quietly in a corner by himself, to go to his aunt's house to bring food to the hospital, and to take care of his mother in the hospital bed.

When at home, Xu Nuo often hid in the bedroom and could not come out, because his father always stayed up all night and ran around, his bloodshot eyes that no longer showed a smile would make Xu Nuo afraid.

The two sisters of the Xu family slept in the same bedroom, and only pulled a movable door panel, promising to sit on their own small wooden bed. Behind the opposite door panel was the space where my sister used to live, and there were her relics inside.

Facing the door panel whose handle was covered in dust, Xiao Xu Nuo would often be in a daze for a whole day, and then fell asleep without knowing it, and sometimes would be woken up by freezing because he did not cover the quilt.

This kind of thing wouldn't have happened before, only now, the person who would cover him with the quilt was gone.

--------

My father asked someone to find a lawyer in the city, invited him to come to the house, served him tea and water, and promised to secretly open the bedroom door and look into the living room.

"Lawyer Lin, my daughter will never commit suicide. Look, this is her diary, and it says that she will go to the orphanage to do volunteer work the next day..."

Xu Nuo saw his father hand over his sister's most beloved diary to the lawyer, and also saw the lawyer's name tag——Lin Jianbin.That day, he went to look up the dictionary on purpose, for fear that he might make a mistake.

For her sister's diary, Xiao Xunuo has always held a very sacred vision, because whenever her sister is writing a diary, she will close the sliding door to prevent herself from passing, and often tell herself that this little book is very important, Don't play with it mischievously, otherwise she will be very sad if you lose it.

So Xiao Xunuo didn't want his father to hand over his sister's diary to others at all, but what could he do? His father said that that person could prove his sister's innocence and condemn the wicked.

At that time, he was very innocent, he just looked at this man named Lin Jianbin in a neat suit and felt that he was like a savior, because he seemed to be able to do things that his father could not, so he wanted to remember this man, grow up I have to thank them well, and get my sister's diary back by the way.

When you thought the dark road was coming to an end, you didn't expect that an abyss was waiting for you.

Lin Jianbin lost the lawsuit on the day of the trial, and took away all the evidence that his father gave him to prove his sister's innocence, including the diary.

Then completely disappeared in this small town.

My father was angry for a while, then became more and more depressed, and finally one day he set off on the road to the Provincial Supreme Court and never came back.

On his way to City A, he was involved in a car accident and died on the spot.

On the night of receiving the bad news, my mother's condition worsened, and she passed away without making it through.

Xiao Xunuo lost everything overnight.

Sister, father, mother...

He once had such a home.

In winter, my mother would knit sweaters and scarves for them. She was a dignified and beautiful woman, and the neighbors often joked about how He De could marry such a good wife.

At this time, my father would smile from ear to ear. He is an ordinary man among all living beings, gentle, sometimes with a little humor, trying his best to find ways to amuse the whole family.

When my father tells jokes, my sister is always the one who laughs the happiest. She is the smartest and most beautiful sister in the world. Although everyone says Xu Nuo looks the most like her sister, he thinks her sister is much prettier than him Yes, a head of black shiny long hair, and those eyes that are so beautiful when they smile.

He thought it was forever.

But the torrent of fate mercilessly pushed him to the edge of the cliff, and he seemed to be the only one left in the whole world.

At ten years old, he had nothing.
