Painting Tang

In the north, the sky is dry and the water is hot, and there are very few cities like Yulin that are crossed by rivers.The two banks along the river are the busiest places in the whole city. The wind blowing from the river rubs against the dark night, and when it reaches the alleyway where Yutang and his family are located, there is only a depressing whistling.

"Crack-"

Tong Qiqiao stepped on the thick mud accumulated by years of oil stains at the door of a certain house. She felt sorry for the shoes and couldn't help but sigh. She felt that she should tell Yutang about Zhou Yuhui's idea anyway. After asking around, she finally found it. Here, he was dazzled by the messy house number again.

The deeper the alley was, the deeper it felt. Tong Xiqiao stopped slowly, wondering if she would be in danger at night at a girl's house, when she suddenly noticed a bungalow not far away, dimly lit from half-hidden It poured out from the crack of the old door, holding up the window railing and reflecting on the ground like a cage-like shadow.

Tong Qiqiao shuddered. Could it be that he walked into some kind of trafficker's den and wanted someone to arrest her?

Before she could turn around and run away, there was a continuous and violent knocking sound like thunder in the house, as if someone was desperately beating on a certain door for help.

Could it be the girl who has been taken away... Tong Xiqiao swallowed, there have indeed been many incidents of missing girls recently, it looks like someone just left this door, maybe this is an excellent rescue What about chance?

Before making a decision, her body had already moved on her own. Tong Xiqiao sneaked along the slippery earthen wall to the gate quietly. She gritted her teeth and held her breath and gently opened the gate. After seeing the scene inside the room clearly, she was tense. His nerves instantly relaxed.

"Yu Mian!"

Tong Xiqiao said briskly, "I have found you! So you are the ones who live here? Why doesn't your house close in the middle of the night, how dangerous it is."

"……go out."

Yu Mian glanced back at her, silently hid the utility knife in her cuff, and at the same time blocked her red fingers from beating the door frantically.

"I won't go in, don't be so fierce,"

Tong Qiqiao muttered, "Is your brother not here? I have something important to tell him... Well, if he's not here, you can help pass it on."

"..."

Yu Mian didn't reply, Tong Xiqiao thought he was acquiescing and waiting for her to speak, so he cleared his throat, and when she opened her mouth, she habitually supported the doorpost with one hand, only to feel a sudden warmth The thick touch sticks to her palm.

"what is this……?"

Tong Qiqiao looked at the blood on her hands in a daze for a moment, she looked up at Yu Mian again in disbelief, and then looked down at the fresh blood and knife marks on the doorpost, suddenly feeling cold sweat.

At the same time, there was a sudden knock on the closed door of the room behind Yu Mian, like some kind of alarm, urging Tong Qiqiao to leave quickly.

"Well, I, I may have remembered wrongly, it's nothing important."

Under the guidance of intuition, Tong Qiqiao retreated step by step towards the outside of the house. She didn't know what was going on in the house, but it was a real and bloody event.

"Tong Qiqiao,"

Yu Mian spoke suddenly, and You You stopped her,

"A thief broke into the house just now, and my brother went to chase the thief. But I was scratched by them, can you help me stop the bleeding?"

While talking, without blinking his eyes, he used the blade hidden in his cuff to cut a thin slit towards his wrist, and the scarlet blood flowed down his arm sparsely like falling beads.

"You, are you really injured? How about you and I go to the health station to bandage?"

Tong Xiqiao hesitated.

"The blood is running out."

Yu Mian stretched out her arm to show Tong Xiqiao, Tong Xiqiao sniffed in fright, she only knew that most people would choose to cut their wrists if they committed suicide, and Yu Mian's wrist was already covered with red sticky blood, maybe, maybe it was true Will it drain the blood?

In the end, Tong Xiqiao softened his heart and walked timidly into this bungalow where the bottom can be seen at a glance.

"Don't come in!"

There was another sound from the room separated by the door, and Tong Qiqiao could tell that it was Yu Tang's voice.

"It's too late!"

Yu Mian suddenly rushed towards Tong Xiqiao with all her strength, and tightly grabbed her neck with her elbows. When Tong Xiqiao realized what had happened, the sharp blade was already on her neck.

"What are you doing, Yu Mian? Are you crazy!"

Tong Xiqiao's voice was weak and weak because of fear, and Yu Mian didn't pay attention to what she was yelling at all, but just stared at the door intently.

After all, he underestimated his elder brother. He usually looks so weak, but he is even harder to catch than a rabbit.

"Brother, can you open the door?"

Yu Mian twisted Tong Xiqiao's collar almost madly, and shouted into the room,

"If my brother doesn't open the door, I'll have to kill her? This utility knife is so small, it would take a lot of knives to kill her, right?"

"Kill, kill?! Yu Mian, calm down, calm down, killing me won't do you any good, will it? Now that the law and order are better, let me tell you, if you, if you are caught in prison, you will be finished for the rest of your life Yes. If you have something to say, let's talk it out, don't use a knife...uh...!"

Tong Xiqiao couldn't help chattering non-stop because of nervousness, Yu Mian was annoyed by this, so she raised the knife and stabbed decisively into her shoulder blade.

"Ugh..."

Tong Qiqiao's face was distorted by the pain, he bit his lips so hard that he didn't dare to make any more noises to anger Yu Mian, the light-colored skirt was stained crimson by the blood gushing from his back, she was helplessly held by Yu Mian At the door, there was a desperate sob with tears in his hands.

"If brother doesn't come out again, he will stab her in the neck."

Yu Mian coldly pulled out the hilt of the knife. He stabbed it in the wrong direction before. Although it blocked the door, Yu Tang broke free from his grasp and escaped into the inner room. He was afraid that if it lasted longer, it would give Yu Tang a chance to dismantle those wooden boards and escape.

Tong Qiqiao's intermittent crying and previous knocking on the door aroused resentment from the neighbors around him. The alcoholic who lived across the street threw a glass wine bottle from the window to express his dissatisfaction. The people at the bottom have long been worn out of their kindness to meddle in other people's affairs.

"Looks like my brother has finally shown his true colors. You see, no matter how much you cry, he doesn't care about you,"

Yu Mian sneered twice, pulled Tong Xiqiao's hair and slammed her against the doorknob, "If you want to blame it, blame my brother for being so hard-hearted."

"Don't...don't!!"

Tong Qiqiao struggled hoarsely. Even though Yu Mian was not as good as ordinary people because of her sickness, her strength was still much stronger than that of a thin girl like her. Tong Qiqiao instinctively closed his eyes.

- "Boom!"

"run!"

The door leaf was pushed open by Yu Tang and smashed towards Yu Mian's face, he instinctively raised his hand to block the momentary gap, Tong Qiqiao was crying and relying on the instinct of survival to roll and crawl towards Yu Tang, Yu Tang pulled holding her arm and leading her to run out the door, but Yu Mian would not let them do so at all.

Perennial illnesses have made Yu Mian's physique weaker, and his physical strength and sensitivity are even lower than those of his peers, but his tolerance to pain is beyond ordinary people, so that he can disregard being smashed by wooden boards and door leaves. Bleeding and crazily chasing after Yu Tang.

Yu Tang and the injured Tong Xiqiao couldn't run fast at all, Tong Xiqiao accidentally pulled his arm that was stabbed by Yu Mian when he almost escaped from the gate before, the pain made him breathe hard, and his feet couldn't help but go weak.The consequences of this moment of stagnation were almost fatal, Tong Xiqiao was pulled by Yu Mian's hair, and Yu Tang held her tightly.

"Why are you so afraid of me, brother?"

The weird and distorted look on Yu Mian's face made it hard to tell whether he was crying or laughing, "Mu Jingchen is so omnipotent, he can heal you soon with a few wounds, I just want to have a fight with you It's just a gamble. If you become like Zhou Yuhui, he won't dislike you, and it's not that I can't let him live."

"What are you talking about... Yu Mian, what have you prepared behind my back?"

Yu Tang was knocked down by the fallen Tong Xiqiao, and the palms of his hands rubbed blood marks on the rough ground. Tong Xiqiao was so frightened that he shook like a sieve, and could only retreat to his side by instinct.

"I don't know if my brother still remembers that our house was completely burned down by a fire. I also want to return them a generous gift."

Yu Mian didn't bother to take care of Tong Qiqiao on the ground anymore, he wiped away the blood that trickled into his eyes, and stabbed Yu Tang's thigh with the other hand that was holding the knife tightly - his brother was pitifully stupid, and was beaten by several Just a few sweet words will fascinate you, instead of watching your brother give his sincerity to the enemy, it is better to use this physical pain to let Yu Tang understand that the only one who will never leave him in this world is his own brother!

"You wake up!"

Yu Tang grabbed Yu Mian's wrist with all his strength so as not to let the dagger pierce his thigh. He glanced at Tong Xiqiao who was already delirious from the pain and threats, bit his lip and asked Yu Mian,

"It was Lin Yue who gave you the idea? What did he provide you? Gunpowder, manpower? What did you exchange with him? Are you willing to be the knife he used to kill people with a borrowed knife?"

"What do you know?!"

Yu Mian almost never yelled at Yu Tang, "All I want is revenge, as long as their surname is Mu, I will have no regrets even if they are buried with me!"

Muddy tears and blood dripped down Yu Tang's cheeks, this was the first time Yu Mian yelled at him, and it was also the first time Yu Mian shed tears in front of him after growing up.

"Yumian, you..."

Yu Tang was stunned by the scorching tears, he instinctively raised his hand to help Yu Mian wipe away the bloody tears at the end of his eyes, "I never said to let go of hatred, let go of you. It's just that it shouldn't be used. Such an extreme way..."

"I didn't want that either, brother,"

When Yu Mian raised her eyes again, she had completely covered up the fragility that was overflowing at that moment just now. When he was talking with Yu Tang, he always held Tong Xiqiao tightly and took her as a hostage to restrain Yu Tang.

"But they want to take you away from me too. Look at what you said today? You actually started to suspect that we hated the wrong person? Didn't we watch their Mu family army fall flat together? Is it our home?"

Yu Mian sighed, unwilling to let Yu Tang procrastinate any longer.

His supposedly plentiful life has long been squeezed into a weak and sick body by that man-made disaster, and his mistake is that he bet all his only souvenirs and desperate hopes in the world on Yu Tang, so that he is now Can only be like a frightened bird, all plants and trees are soldiers.

"Try it, brother, and see if Mu Jingchen is interested in your skin, or if he hates his soul."

Yu Mian broke free from Yu Tang's restraint and raised the handle of the knife with both hands. In the same blink of an eye, Yu Tang ignored the knife that would pierce her body and rushed towards Yu Mian. At the same time, she forcefully pushed Tong Xiqiao out of the door. Tong Xiqiao, who was still like a dead fish, clutched his bleeding shoulder and desperately shouted for help while getting up,

That Yu Tang opened the door to save her, she had to call someone to save him!

Tong Qiqiao bit the corner of her lip, the pain was so painful that she couldn't even walk steadily, she didn't run out a few steps, but her eyes went dark, and she fell dying like a piece of broken paper-cut. Before she lost consciousness, she thought desperately that she had failed in the end. Yu Tang's trust.

"elder brother……?"

Yu Mian didn't care about Tong Xiqiao who ran out at all, he looked helplessly at the knife that stabbed into Yu Tang's back because he didn't expect Yu Tang's action, the utility knife was not long but very sharp, the blade was about one finger long stuck in the meat.He didn't understand medicine or the human body, so he didn't know where the knife had hurt Yu Tang.

Dazzling blood flowed all over Yu Mian's hands, and his gaze returned to the vast snowy field on the way to escape ten years ago. At that time, Yu Tang, who was still young, did not know where to borrow the strength to be able to carry the frozen body on his back. He walked through woodland after woodland.

The more Yu Tang made an appointment with him, the more he hated the Mu family. His good brother was forced to almost become a dead soul buried in heavy snow.

"Sister-in-law! You have to hold on, it's okay, we'll be fine if the bleeding stops!"

Zhen Hui's ear-piercing voice brought Yu Mian's eyes back to the narrow room full of fishy smell, and he realized that he had been controlled by the rushing people, and Yu Tang had already been embraced by Mu Jingchen.

Yu Mian, who realized what happened, slowly came back to his senses, he was stunned for a while, and then laughed first.

Brother, a villain, has once again pinpointed the flaw that he can't bear to really hurt his life.

"Like a dog, haunting."

Yu Mian sneered at Mu Jingchen coldly. Mu Jingchen was about to carry Yutang into the car with his back turned to him, but he didn't stop when he heard the sound, but just turned his eyes and gave him a dirty look.

However, with just one glance, the chill tempered by the mountain of swords and the sea of ​​blood easily shattered Yu Mian's proud gloomy expression that had scared countless people away.
