The little stand-in is no longer with me

Xie Yuming was a little surprised. He and Liao Huai hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, and when he heard Liao Huai's name again, it was from his son.

What is even more surprising is that Xie Qing grew up in Liao Huai's home.

There is nothing to say about the former comrades-in-arms, character and family background, Xie Yuming gradually felt relieved.Xie Qing grew up in such a family, presumably education and love are the same.

Knowing that Xie Qing is still alive and so close to him is more important than anything else.Xie Yuming felt that he should visit his wife recently and talk about it in front of the grave.He found their daughter, who is now called Liao Shiyu, who has become a glamorous star... making his wife Bai Cheng happy too.

"Dad, I didn't expect...our family has something to do with the Liao family." Xie Lin couldn't help laughing. If Xie Yuming didn't say that he didn't know today, it turned out that Xie Yuming and Liao Huai used to be comrades-in-arms.He had also been to Liao's house, and he might have seen Liao Cenchuan when he was a child, but he didn't have the slightest impression.

But does this also mean that his fate with Liao Cenchuan may have been doomed since then.He deserved to suffer from Liao Cenchuan and be cheated.

"Your Uncle Liao has a cold face, but a warm heart. When I was in the army, he took good care of me and was the squad leader. I remember that when I retired, he was promoted to company commander. I haven't contacted him for more than ten years. Maybe he has already become a commander." Xie Yuming recalled his experience in the army when he was young with a smile, his eyes returned to the old look, and he was a little nostalgic.

Xie Lin couldn't remember Liao Huai's appearance clearly, but according to what Xie Yuming said, I am afraid that Liao Cenchuan's personality followed his father's.With the same cold face, no wonder these two people are not easy to deal with.

"If it wasn't for your grandma who wanted me to leave the army and come back to work, I might be some kind of military officer at this time. I have already treated all your problems obediently, and I don't have to suffer now." Xie Yuming regretted it, so he could only Orally reprimand Xie Lin.

Remembering old friends, and old memories.Xie Yuming was overwhelmed, and for a moment he was really brought back to the time at that time.

"Dad, you just said that I went to Uncle Liao's house when I was a child. But why didn't I remember it? How old was I at that time?"

Xie Lin was a little curious, how old was he when he went to Liao Cenchuan's house, and how old did he meet Liao Cenchuan.If it's too young, I really don't have much impression, and I don't blame him.

Xie Yuming didn't expect that the topic he deliberately avoided was brought up again by Xie Lin. Seeing Xie Lin's eyes flicker, he seemed to want to know very much.He couldn't hide it, so he had to say, "It's about ten years old."

ten years old?Wasn't that the year Liao Shiyu got lost?

Logically speaking, ten years old is already a big child, and there should be some vague and fragmented memories.But he couldn't remember anything, even what he said to Xie Yuming was blank.What Xie Yuming said seemed new to him, something he had never heard or seen before.

If he had met Liao Cenchuan when he was a child, how could he forget it?When he heard Liao Cenchuan's name on the plane, he should have immediately remembered that he was the son of Uncle Liao's family, and it was impossible for the two of them to know each other from the beginning.

but……

But he couldn't remember, so didn't Liao Cenchuan remember him?Obviously met when I was a child, the children who used to play together, how come they still seem to have just met on the plane.

What to pretend.

"But why don't I have any impression?" Xie Lin was a little suspicious, he always felt that there were some things that he must remember and know.So if I get the chance today, I will keep asking Xie Yuming.

Recently, he was in a dream.I once dreamed of a fiery red, a few anxious faces looking at each other, and the steps that I wanted to move forward but didn't dare to.And scars.

He woke up thinking he was back at the lipstick factory again, and had been bombed again and again, with iron scraping across his browbones, leaving ugly marks.

But these two scenes are the same, yet different.It is true that the sky is full of fire, but it seems that it is not a piece of iron, but wood.

After waking up, he was sweating profusely. He didn't know whether the dream was real or what, his hands trembled terribly, and he didn't even want to recall it.The crying of the child still echoed in my ears, calling over and over again: sister, sister.

Then there is no consciousness.

Seeing Xie Lin's painful expression, Xie Yuming couldn't bear it, and asked in confusion, "Xiao Lin, what do you want to know?"

Xie Lin struggled, his mind was in a mess, he desperately recalled that dream.But the momentary feeling of suffocation came to him suddenly, and that disgusting feeling came to him again, wanting to commit suicide, wanting to leave.

"Dad... I don't know, I don't remember anything." Xie Lin rubbed his head, trying to calm himself down a bit, "I went to Uncle Liao's house that day, what happened?"

Those who should escape can't escape, now that Xie Lin has grown up, he should look directly at the past.Face it no matter how scary it is.

The ten-year-old Xie Lin forgot all this, but the 24-year-old Xie Lin chose to remember.

He should help.

Xie Yuming poured a cup of hot water for Xie Lin, gently stroked Xie Lin's head, and pressed his temples.Seeing that Xie Lin's eyes were full of bewilderment, he sighed, "Are you sure you want to know?"

Xie Lin nodded solemnly, "I want to know."

Xie Yuming opened his mouth slowly...

"When I went to your Uncle Liao's house, it happened after Qingqing got lost. Your mother blamed herself very much because Qingqing was lost under her own eyes. Your mother can cheer up, so you put on Qingqing's dress. When you were a child, you didn't like haircuts, and you cried when you went to the barber shop. Your hair is about the same length as Qingqing, little sister."

"You in Qingqing's dress are exactly the same as Qingqing. Your mother regards you as Qingqing, and she feels much better. I am also happy, but I didn't realize at the time that she has forgotten you. Or, your mother Because Qingqing was lost, I was so sad, I only thought about Qingqing every day, so much so that I ignored your existence."

Xie Lin looked at Xie Yuming blankly, he really couldn't recall these things at all.In order to make his mother happy, he willingly wore a skirt to pretend to be Liao Shiyu. This was something he did when he was a child.

It's also like his style.

"When we arrived at Uncle Liao's house, you went to play with his son. We adults were cooking... Now that I think about it, I really regret it. It's obvious that your mother is not in a good state of mind, and you still have to take her out to play, causing trouble. Something happened." Xie Yuming subconsciously looked at Xie Lin's chest, where there was a deep red Rose Manor tattoo.

Xie Lin's chest felt tight, "What happened?"

"Fire." Xie Yuming said in a deep voice, frowning and observing Xie Lin's expression.

fire...

Xie Lin couldn't believe it, how could there be a fire?Four adults, two children, how could such a terrible thing happen.

"how come……"

But Xie Lin suddenly touched a tattoo on his chest, the scar was raised, and the scar was covered by the tattoo and he couldn't see clearly. He didn't remember how to get the scar. He was tortured by the scar as long as he could remember. , Why can he have such an ugly scar, I really want to tear off this piece of skin and grow it back, I really want to die, I will have normal skin after reincarnation.

"The four of us were barbecued in the yard that day, and the water in the house was always on fire. No one thought about it until the water in the kettle boiled dry and the bottom of the kettle leaked, and no one noticed. Everyone was grilling. meal."

Xie Lin's eyes widened, and he seemed to have remembered something, "Then the kettle was left open, which caused a fire."

More than ten years ago, an occasional small mistake could cause such big consequences.

"how so……"

Xie Yuming raised his head and saw tears in Xie Lin's bright and clear pupils, hating himself for being useless back then.

"Yes, the fire spread quickly, and no one expected it to be so sudden. Your mother remembered that you were still inside, and wanted to go in to find you like crazy. But the fire was too strong, not only you, but even the Liao family His youngest son was also trapped in the house."

Xie Lin suffocated for breath, and this moment combined with the scene in his dream.He remembered that he woke up in the flames, and beside him was a little boy crying again and again, "Sister, sister."

He was ten years old at the time, already considered a big boy.As the fire grew, he thought of every fire drill he had in elementary school.

Quickly warn the little boy not to cry, not to shout.I am afraid that inhaling too much smoke will damage the lungs.

"Don't cry, ahem... shut your mouth."

He ran up to the little boy and picked him up.His heart was pounding, and the flames in his eyes made him unable to find his way, so he could only walk along the light.

The fire caused the house to burn with a crackling sound, and I was terrified in my heart.The little boy was stifled by his yelling, but he was still sobbing softly. The child was just five years old, so he had never seen this scene before.

Seeing that the door was found, the door was already surrounded by fire.He was only a ten-year-old boy at the time, and wanted to rush out, knowing that the more he dragged on, the more dangerous he would be, but he was still timid when he saw the scorching fire.

The sound outside was getting louder and louder, and there were endless howls and shouts.Xie Lin was afraid, afraid that he would not be able to walk out today.

The skirt was already torn by fire, he remembered bowing his head and saying, "Don't be afraid, I'll take you out, ahem..."

The little boy nodded heavily, his eyes full of trust.

However, the moment they rushed out, the light gradually surrounded them, but the beam at the door suddenly broke.Xie Lin was smashed down by the burning beams, and at the last moment of that moment, he pushed the little boy away forcefully, directly pushed him out the door, and he fell to the ground with deafening cries.

"Ah woo woo - save, save her."

"Where's my child?!" Xie Yuming stared in horror, unable to believe that the child who walked out was not his son Xie Lin.

"Where's the other child?" Liao Huai ran over and asked impatiently.He saw that his son's face was darkened, and he couldn't help but feel distressed, but now the other child has not come out yet.

Bai Cheng beside him had already passed out, and even Xie Yuming clenched his fists tightly.

"Sister... sister, it's inside." The little boy cried.

Before Xie Lin gradually lost consciousness, he felt a torrent of coolness and was hugged.

After waking up in the hospital, the skin on his chest was burned badly, and the burning sensation could not be removed.After being hugged to the wound, Xie Lin completely fell into a coma.

When he woke up again, he had already forgotten everything.
