don't die

The woods are very quiet, you can hear the sound of the stream flowing over the rocks, other than that, there is only the rustling of the wings of the birds overhead when they pass by occasionally.

By the stream, one person sat on a rock, and the other squatted on the ground, looking at each other for a long time.

After a long time, seeing that Lin Shen didn't make a sound, the stranger asked curiously, "Why, did you sprain your ankle?"

Hearing this, Lin Shen twisted his feet and stood up, frowned as he looked at the stranger who occupied the creek before him.

"It seems that you don't like to talk." The other party smiled, "But it doesn't look like you're hurt, that's great."

The place where he was going to relax was taken by another person. Of course, Lin Shen turned around and left without saying a word.

"Hey, don't you plan to sit down for a while?"

But the man stopped him, "Where are you going in a hurry, or do you have somewhere to go now?"

Is there somewhere to go?

These words stopped Lin Shen for a moment, he turned his head and looked at the man fiercely.

The other party smiled nonchalantly, "It's not that I'm curious, just looking at your expression, you really look like a poor homeless man."

"It's not a poor man." Lin Shen finally said the first sentence.

"Well, that's a lonely person who can't find his own home." The man pursed his lips and looked at Lin Shen. "Don't you want to sit down and chat with me when you meet a companion?" He patted the stream stone beside his hand, feeling the temperature warmed by the sun on it.

"You've got nowhere to go now anyway, have you?"

Lin Shen moved his feet a few times, and finally moved his feet, turned around, walked directly opposite the man, and sat down.

"What are you talking about?"

The other party seemed to be very happy, grinning a bright smile, his eyes narrowed into a crescent moon.

"Of course—" he said, "a lot of things. But before that, let's introduce ourselves to each other."

When the man laughed, he had a dimple on his right cheek.Just as Lin Shen noticed this, he heard a cheerful voice from the opposite side.

"My name is Heye, the famous Heye, the wild grass."

Weeds can be seen everywhere, inconspicuous weeds.

And such a casual name is matched with a surname like He. When He Ye introduced himself like this, his tone seemed to be teasing. No, it was more mocking than teasing.

To whom is the mockery?Is it himself, or someone else.

……

When Yu Yue asked that question, He Xi didn't think about the answer, but asked instead: "If I say no, would you believe it?"

"Of course I believe it!" Yu Yue quickly replied, "As long as you said it, we will never doubt you, He Tun."

Hearing this, He satirized without blinking his eyes.

"Would you believe me if I said yes?"

"You..." Yu Yue was stunned, out of breath. "This is not the time to be joking, please be serious!"

"I'm asking you seriously." He sarcastically said, "If you believe no matter what I say, then no matter whether what I tell you is true or not, you will agree with it.? If so, why do you still come to ask me?" Well? What you want to know is not the truth, but an answer from me."

Yu Yue retorted: "At least you tell me, so I can know how to help you!"

"Then what answer do you want to hear?"

He satirized and asked him: "I want to hear me tell you that I didn't kill anyone, and then you can help me hide the clues and fabricate the facts for me with peace of mind, and finally tell myself that everything is right, because I wasn't in the first place. Murderer. What you are concerned about is not whether I killed someone or not, but to give yourself a natural excuse. As for the truth..."

He smiled, but there was a bit of sarcasm in his laughter. "Aside from the family members of the deceased, who else cares?"

Yu Yue didn't care.

"Hey, don't talk about it with me! Yes, I just want a reassurance! But I also believe that you are not a person who takes people's lives on the spur of the moment. Tell me it wasn't you Yes, is it difficult!"

"Is it difficult, as long as you say a word, we will believe you!"

Yu Yue pressed him several times, but He Tun kept his mouth tightly shut and did not speak.Yu Yue's heart gradually panicked.

After a while, He Tun finally spoke, but what Yu Yue said was the sentence that Yu Yue didn't want to hear the most.

"I... can't tell."

"Can't say anything?" Yu Yue's eyes widened.

He Tun closed his eyes, and the scenes of that day seemed to shake in front of his eyes again.There was a hoarse and hopeless voice, and bright red blood flowed drop by drop from the body that was gradually losing its life.And he still remembers that she stared wide-eyed and asked herself unwillingly until she died—why, why!

Those voices of questioning, innocent and wide-eyed eyes always appear in He Tiao's dreams.And since then, he has become afraid of blood and corpses.

why why--!

That angry and desperate voice still rang in his ears over and over again, and He Tun still remembered his decisive answer at that time, and he didn't want to be tactful at all.

In the end, the consequences are irreversible.

Opening his eyes, looking at the bright sky, He Tun felt a little glaring.He opened his mouth and said hoarsely, "Because of me, I can't say that."

It cannot be said that he had nothing to do with that death.

No, or rather, he is the culprit.

"You go down the mountain." He satirized the voice full of exhaustion, and said to Yue: "When the lawsuit is really filed and they come to me, I will go back to court. You don't have to worry about this matter anymore."

"You!" Yu Yue glared at him, but He Tun had already packed up his things and entered the house, so he didn't look back at him anymore.He had no choice but to shout loudly behind He Tun: "I will come to you tomorrow too! Until you tell the truth!"

After finishing speaking, he slammed the door and left the small courtyard angrily.

"Hey, uncle, you're already going back, don't you want to talk to Brother He?"

"Go back and come back tomorrow."

"I'm still coming tomorrow..."

"Don't worry, the reward will be yours. What do you want?"

"A box of instant noodles! The most expensive kind."

"..."

"Uh, then I'd like a cheaper one, isn't it too demanding?"

Yu Yue couldn't help laughing. "How expensive instant noodles can be, I can buy you a car without any problem, so come and help me out tomorrow."

"Great!"

In the small courtyard, He Tun heard the voices of the two people spread farther and farther away, with a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth.Yu Yue has a stubborn temper, and he refuses to give up because he thinks he is still hiding something and hasn't told the truth.

but……

He satirized his eyes darkened, and gave a wry smile.

He has told the truth, why are they unwilling to believe it?

That girl died by her own hands.

He Tiao clenched his right hand tightly.

——died on his own indifference.

At that moment, He Xi realized that death was such an easy matter.

"What do you think death is?"

When this topic was suddenly asked, Lin Shen looked at the people around him vigilantly, but Heye still looked at him with a smile as always, with a clear light in his eyes.

"Why ask this?"

The two had chatted for quite a while, and Lin Shen had to admit that this guy who appeared suddenly really knew himself very well.No, it shouldn't be said that they understand each other, but that the two have too many similarities.

They are unable to blend in with their surroundings, and they are all rejected by their surroundings. Similarly, they use their own disguise to deal with the harm of others around them.

It's just that Lin Shen's disguise was indifference, while He Ye's disguise was that smiling face, he seemed to be able to smile brightly in front of anyone, when Lin Shen said that, He Ye was stunned for a moment, and then He smiled and said, "Get used to it."

Habit?

"Because a smile is the gentlest knife, it can hurt yourself as well as others. The most wonderful thing is that it is the most difficult weapon to be discovered." When He Ye said this sentence with a smile , Lin Shen suddenly felt that his smile was an eyesore, and turned his head and snorted.

However, He Ye immediately said: "But even so, there will be times when I really want to laugh."

Lin Shen moved his ears.

"Just like now, it's rare to meet a companion who fits me so well." He Ye smiled and blinked. "Isn't it God's will?"

So, for such a rare opportunity, Heye asked that question.

What is death?

In response to Lin Shen's vigilant reaction, he raised his hand and said innocently: "Don't look at me like that, I'm just curious, don't you find it strange? There are too many opportunities to try many things in a lifetime, but only Death, they only have one chance to try. And even if they experience it, there is no way to tell the people who are still alive what it is like."

He Ye said, his eyes lit up.

"Isn't this the most mysterious thing in the world, death!"

Lin Shen looked at him, "You must have mental problems."

"No, no, please call me a tireless researcher." Heye said with a smile, "I'm just too curious and want to challenge all the secrets in the world."

And death is the greatest secret of mankind.

"It's like sleeping, close your eyes and don't know anything."

"No!" Heye retorted fiercely, "I still have dreams in my sleep, and I still have consciousness, which is different from death! And this is not what I want to ask." His expression was a little distressed, this was the first time Lin Shen saw He showed such a depressed mood.

Seeing Heye squatting on the ground in annoyance, thinking hard about this question, Lin Shen also found it interesting, can he also stump this guy?

"Forget it, I'll ask you another question." Heye looked up at him suddenly, "Why do people want to die?" He whispered again: "No, in other words, why do people insist on living?"

"Of course it's because..."

Lin Shen's words were on his lips, but they suddenly stuck.

How would he answer, what would he say?

Because living is a matter of course, because living is a happy thing, because living is the instinct of human beings?

Leaving aside these answers, in his own opinion, they are somewhat untenable.

What is happiness?He hardly felt it.Take it for granted?It is quite natural for the people at the foot of the mountain to dislike him.instinct?For Lin Shen, this seems to be the most reliable answer.But in this way, how is his life different from those beasts on the mountain?

And no matter which answer, in front of He Ye who was looking at him with a smile in front of him, it seemed so vulnerable.

"do not you know?"

He Ye smiled brighter, and his dimples became deeper. "Let me tell you."

"That's because the living people are cowards." There was a sly light in He Ye's eyes, as if he had seen through everything. "They are afraid of losing the superficial enjoyment they have now, so they regard death as a horror. But people are the most equal in the face of death, naked and have nothing. People with guilty consciences always dare not throw away those worldly cloaks , see clearly what you have.”

He continued to ask: "Are you a coward too, Lin Shen?"
