don't die

The room was eerily quiet, and nothing could be heard except his own breathing.In this extreme silence, even the sound of blood gurgling can be heard, accompanied by the beating of the heart, continuing again and again.

He Yan blinked his eyes and took a deep breath.

He couldn't remember how long he had been in this room, was it a minute, an hour, or an afternoon?

The concept of time becomes blurred here, and he can only feel the flow of time by distinguishing his own heartbeat.On the screen, the back of the suspected Lin Shen still barely moved. If he could not feel the figure slowly rising and falling with his breathing, He Tun would have wondered if it was a corpse lying there.

Since the last mobile phone call ended, Heye has not contacted him again, leaving him alone in this room, accompanied by a terrifying silence, looking at Lin Shen who could barely move.Several times, when He Xi was staring at the screen, he wished that the back could turn around, even if it was just a slight movement of a finger!That would at least make him feel that he is not alone at this moment, at least he is not fighting this unknown waiting alone.

The terrible thing is not waiting, but you don't know what will happen after this waiting.

However, no matter how much he prayed in his heart, the "Lin Shen" on the screen still didn't move, and the occasional movement was just because He Tun was dazzled after watching for a long time.

Time passed silently, unknown, uneasy, nervous, all kinds of emotions were exerted on He Tun's heart, gradually making him a little impatient.He began to doubt whether it was meaningful for him to sit here, and began to waver in his determination, and even a secret complaint crept into his heart.

Why did things become like this, He Xie began to think about it.

He has already warned Lin Shen not to go out and not to contact He Ye again, but Lin Shen has repeatedly violated his advice and committed crimes with his own body. Listening to advice is also an important reason.

And Yu Yue, this guy even joined forces with Lin Shen to fool himself, doesn't he know the importance of the matter?What are he and Lin Shen planning, but they don't tell themselves as the parties involved, because they think they are not trustworthy?

As He satirized thought, the resentment in his heart began to gather more and more.He even began to think that if the waiter in that restaurant hadn't handed him the note, he would be able to keep out of sight and not be involved in it.

As for Lin Shen who didn't listen to advice, who cares whether he lives or dies, hum!

Irritability and impatience gradually invaded He Tun's heart. A series of bad incidents, coupled with the extremely depressing environment at this time, made him start to become violent, but he himself did not notice this at all.He was sitting on the chair, rubbing his fingers against the armrest, and many thoughts ran through his mind uncontrollably.

Why did he fall into this situation?Why is everyone targeting him?The strictness of the family, the cannibalism of the brothers, and the framing of others.Obviously he just wanted to live his life peacefully, but he was forced to come here!What did he do wrong?

No, he did nothing wrong!It's the people around, they have too high demands on him, expect too much from him, and demand too much from him, but they don't know that he is just an ordinary person who only wants to live an ordinary life, but he can't!

Apart from He Ye's conspiracy, what caused all of this and made him step into the execution ground, none of those people had anything to do with it!Indifferent family members, selfish lovers, even Lin Shen!He Tun's eyes were stained with gloom, and negative emotions were beginning to take control of his brain.

The room was terribly quiet, and He Ye hadn't contacted him since then.Where is he hiding and watching his own jokes, or is he complacently preparing to reap the fruits of the harvest!He Tun knew that something was wrong with his emotions, but he couldn't control it.Presumably, this change in mood was exactly what Heye had expected.Thinking of this made He Tun even more irritable, he stretched his hand aimlessly into his pocket to caress it, and suddenly touched a foreign object.

A hard, but round thing.

"This is……"

Feeling the touch in the palm of his hand, He Tun took out the things from his pocket and put them in front of his eyes for a closer look.

In the palm of his hand, there is a stone, laughing, insignificant, but exuding a warm luster, like the shining light of the bright moon.

——It was the blood-patterned stone.

In He Tiao's ears, he faintly recalled a sentence left to him by a certain girl.

[If this continues, I'm afraid one day you won't even know what pain is. 】The words she left back then were ridiculing He Tiao's numbness and indifference, and she only wanted to protect herself.

Now that I think about it, it really hits the nail on the head.

What pain is, he probably didn't know back then. He lived in false praise, pretending to be a perfect student, son, and friend, but never really considered his own heart.Let alone pain, he couldn't even understand what true happiness is.

And now...

He sat on holding the blood-patterned stone in his hand, can he feel the pain now?

Being framed, he was about to face prison, and now he was in such a predicament.If it were anyone, it would be inevitable to be resentful, so how could it not be painful?

But, is that all?If he really suffered because of these things, he could leave Lin Shen and leave at this moment to protect himself.Staying out of trouble is the wisest choice, hasn't he always done that?

But why, the emotion hidden in his heart told him that he couldn't leave, couldn't leave Lin Shen behind.It was because of him that Lin Shen fell into He Ye's trap. He and Yu Yue concealed the danger from themselves. Compared with anger, He Xie felt more pain in his heart.The pain of worry, the pain of caring, not for himself but for those who matter to him.What he suffered seemed insignificant in comparison.

What is going on here?Aren't humans the most selfish of creatures?

Looking at the little blood stone in his hand, He sat back in the deep forest in a daze.

He saw the smiling young girl standing by the stream and made a promise to them that she would never give up or complain.

I saw that on the stone platform facing each other far away, a person sat alone for ten years and turned into a dry bone.

I also heard cicadas chirping from an unknown year, one after another, full of slow reluctance and nostalgia.

Which one of them is not in pain, but even so, worrying about the one you love, even if it is grief, makes people feel warm in their hearts.As for Wang Xi and Li Dong, who are selfish about their own gains and losses, and think that the whole world has failed them, such people can't even say that they experience satisfaction in pain, and they can't even save themselves.

How hard is life, how sad is death, everyone in the world is hard to get out of the hardships of life, but people just forget that if there is no such bitterness, how can they experience the sweetness of happiness.

Suffering can also be satisfying, just how the mind treats it.He sat on the stone tightly, feeling its cool temperature, only felt that his mind was extremely clear, the previous irritability and anger seemed to turn into clouds and mist overnight, and the hot coat took off, leaving behind a coolness.

He was almost confused just now, lost in the pain and unable to extricate himself.Now that I think about it, this is probably He Ye's trick, trying to use this to break down his psychological defense.

Worrying about other people's safety, worrying about other people's situation, these are things that he gradually learned after getting along with Lin Shen.This made him understand what it's like to care about others, and he is no longer the passer-by in life who seems to be laughing and scolding, but is actually on the sidelines.

"I understand now what you mean by pain."

I don't know who it was talking to, He Ting whispered softly, the voice wandered around the room, and then faded away.

He went back to the chair and sat down.

In fact, this kind of waiting and suffering for others is not necessarily a kind of suffering, but also a kind of enjoyment, isn't it?The key is how you look at it.

As for those dangers?Scholarly arrangement

He sneered, and he figured it out. There was a smooth road in front of him, and there was no obstacle in his heart.

The wind and rain are coming, just let it come, still worry about not being able to handle it?

He closed his eyes and sat up quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, when he opened his eyes again, he heard the ringtone of a text message from his phone.

The sky outside the window was already stained with the color of the sunset, He Xie opened the text message, and what he saw was a simple line of words.

【you can go now. 】

He looked at the TV screen again, and it had turned into a fluttering snowflake again, and Lin Shen's figure had disappeared.

Is it okay to leave?

He Tun stood up, hesitated for a moment, then walked to the door, stretched out his hand, and turned the doorknob.

The door made an old creaking sound, and slowly opened in front of his eyes, expanding from a narrow gap to the entire field of vision.As soon as he saw the things outside the door, He Tun's pupils retracted uncontrollably, showing obvious surprise.

In front of him was Lin Shen!

The man who should have been trapped was standing outside the house, waiting for him to go out.Seeing He Tiao coming out, Lin Shen immediately got up from the wall he was leaning against, and looked at him without blinking, that look seemed to burn people.

"you……"

He Tun felt that his throat was a little hoarse, and at the same time, Lin Shen was staring at him, like a prisoner who was about to be sentenced, nervously waiting for what he would say next.

why are you hereAren't you trapped by He Ye?Why are you waiting for me here?

Is that actually you in that video, and if so, was it forced or voluntary?

You...have you planned with He Ye, and are plotting against me together?

Lin Shen had imagined the above words hundreds of times, and He Xie might question him when he came out of the room.

however--

"Sure enough, you're fine."

He satirized Lin Shen for a while, but smiled and said such a word of reassurance.Lin Shen's pupils trembled, and he asked hoarsely, "You don't want to ask me?"

The people who should have been trapped, but they seem to have conspired with the enemy, are waiting here on the sidelines. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would be suspicious, even angry and resentful!Why are you so sarcastic, just acting like a normal person?

"What do you ask? Oh, have you been waiting for me outside for a long time?"

Lin Shen nodded.

"Since when?"

"Since you entered the house, it has been until now." Afraid that he might misunderstand, Lin Shen quickly explained: "But I can't go to you, He Tun, I want to go to you too, but He Ye said it was a gamble. "

"what?"

"If you are willing to wait in there until he releases you, he will release evidence in your favor. That's what he agreed with me."

It turns out that there is still this level, no wonder.He understood the irony, and looked at Lin Shen again. "And what about you, what does he ask of you?"

"...In any case, before you take the initiative to come out, I can't go in to find you. Otherwise, all previous efforts will be wasted."

This is a two-way game that tests not only two people, but also their trust and care for each other.He Xiong thought of the torment he suffered when he was inside, and he could guess that Lin Shen must have had a hard time outside.He stepped forward and gently held Lin Shen's right hand.

Sure enough, his palms were already wet with sweat, not warm, but cold sweat.I'm afraid Lin Shen is suffering even more than him.Because he still has to face the misunderstanding and anger that may arise when he knows the truth.

Is this also in Heye's calculation?

"That's why you trust him?" He sat on Lin Shen's hand and asked softly.

"I can only trust him." Lin Shen said, "This is the only way I can think of to help you, and He Ye..."

"He won't renege on his debt." He satirized with a smile, and took the second half of his sentence. "This, we all know, he is not that kind of person."

They are clearly enemies, but the two of them put too much trust in He Ye's character, which seems to be a funny thing to think about.He satirized the corner of his mouth, took Lin Shen's hand and walked out.

"This is the end of the matter, let's go back and talk about it."

"kindness."

"Lin Shen, your hands are still sweating."

"kindness."

"Are you still worried about me?"

"……kindness."

Feeling Lin Shen's concern in silence, He Tun's mood improved, and the two held hands, neither of them felt unnatural, and walked out of the room.Just walking in silence like this, no one spoke anymore, but a wordless tacit understanding gradually spread around, and in the end, it was He Xiong who couldn't help but speak first.

"I……"

Just as the conversation started, a police car whistled from far and near, and a police car roared towards it, and stopped in front of it in an instant.

"Don't move!"

Several policemen rushed out of the car, pressed on He Tun directly, locked his hands behind his back, and pressed him tightly against the hood of the car.

Seeing this scene, Lin Shen saw the pained look on He Tun's suppressed face, and couldn't help clenching his fists, eager to move.

"do not come!"

At this moment, a loud roar stunned both the policeman and Lin Shen.

He Tun was suppressed, and his face was pale due to the pain, but he never tried to resist from the beginning to the end, instead he opened his mouth to scold Lin Shen after seeing Lin Shen's actions.

"Don't come here! Lin Shen, I took the initiative to bring you to justice, don't be impulsive!"

His words made the policemen look at each other suspiciously, and tried to loosen the grip in their hands, only to be relieved when they saw that He Tun had no intention of resisting.Escaping and taking the initiative, these are completely different meanings.Since it was the suspect who took the initiative to bring him to justice, they didn't want to offend the person in front of him who obviously had a background because of a misjudgment.

"Thank you, officer." He Tun thanked them, rubbed his twisted arm and stood up straight.

"May I have a few more words with my friend before I go back?"

After getting the consent of the police, He Xi looked at Lin Shen, and found that Lin Shen's face was pale at this time, even worse than him, as if he was the one who was caught.Those eyes are full of forbearance, restraint, struggle, and many other emotions that he didn't understand before, but now he can suddenly understand.

He chuckled lightly, and said to Lin Shen, "I will be back, just wait."

Lin Shen stared at his smile and was suddenly stunned. He felt that he had never seen such a beautiful smile before. When he was in a trance, He satirized the last sentence.

"Wait for me to go back."

When he came back to his senses, he had already been escorted into a police car and left with the sound of sirens.

Lin Shen stood where he was, watching the police car drive away, drive out of the alley, and gradually disappear. He should have been disappointed, but suddenly there was a surge of anticipation in his heart.

It was for He satirized the last sentence, waiting for him to come back.

After returning to the hotel, Lin Shen packed up his bags and left regardless of Yu Yue's surprised eyes.Since He Tun told him not to participate, then he would not participate. He Tun told him to wait, so he waited.Once back to the Green Lake Forest after a long absence, everything is still the same as before.The evasive eyes of the townspeople, the quietness and solitude on the mountain, and the occasional encounter with some unexpected people, but that is much less than before.

Everything has returned to the way Lin Shen lived here more than 20 years ago, to be precise, it was the way it was before meeting He Xie.

He should be used to this loneliness, but now he feels lonely.No one babbles, no one quarrels, no one is busy in the kitchen, and no one dares to patrol behind him with trepidation.At this time, Lin Shen always realized very clearly that He Tun was no longer by his side.

A week, a month, time passed unknowingly, Lin Shen was stationed at the door with anticipation every morning, and gradually returned to his daily life, as if he had returned to his life alone.Only sometimes, he would think of those unfinished things.

Has Heye fulfilled his promise? Is he still continuing to demonstrate the idea of ​​the Avenue of Death?

Yu Yue didn't come to the door again, and probably won't come again.

As for those Tu Gaogao idiots, they only flashed through his mind occasionally, leaving no deep imprint.

There is only one person, he never thinks about it in his mind, because he keeps it in his heart all the time.

It was another early spring, and half a year had passed. Han Zhi grew up to his chest, and the four-leaf clover in front of Hanhan's stone tablet had spread from the hillside to the mountain road.Even Min Min had already come to pay respects to You Jia's lonely grave once.

Only the person he was waiting for still had no news.This was silent, like the dry weeds growing beside the grave, which made his mind flustered, but the culprit did not show up for a long time.

On this day, Lin Shen put on his hat and was about to open the door to go out to patrol, but just as he got to the door, he heard a low cry from outside the house.

"Damn it, which bastard with no eyes is shitting at the gate of the courtyard!"

Lin Shen's heart seemed to stop beating for an instant, and then started beating wildly.He saw a man complaining and pushing open the courtyard door, scratching the dirt on the soles of his feet in embarrassment while raising his head.

As soon as the man raised his head, he showed a gorgeous smile that shone through the rising sun, as if the entire sky was going to be eclipsed by it.

"Boss, can you borrow here? My shoes are dirty."

"Generally do not borrow."

"Oh, what's the exception?"

Lin Shen restrained his expression and said calmly: "Families of employees can accompany the room."

With a puff, the man laughed out loud, his eyes narrowed into a pair of crescent moons.

"Then I don't know if I, the employee's family member, will you accept it or not?"

Is that even a question?

Lin Shen finally couldn't help showing a smile, threw away the things in his hands, and went forward.

At this moment, his drifting heart finally returned.
