Summer of Fireflies

Cong Zhong was speechless, thinking of Libika's eyes that were dying before she died, and her undisguised hatred for us when she looked at me, I suddenly felt that the temperature around me became even colder.

Why do you die with regret?Maybe it's because I feel very reconciled, not reconciled to being easily killed by others like this, not reconciled to just getting what I want, but ruining my life in vain because of the other party's dishonesty.

As for her hatred for us... Whenever I close my eyes and think of the look in Libica's eyes before she died, my teeth tremble, I cover my ears and don't want to hear any sounds related to fighting, and I don't want to recall what I just said Saw the death screen.

I don't know what I'm afraid of, but if I continue to think about it now, it's hard to guarantee that I won't have a nervous breakdown due to insanity. Whenever I can't calm down, I will pat myself on the face and recite silently. The Great Compassion Mantra a hundred times.

The Great Compassion Mantra was copied from a monk in a temple when I was traveling in China five years ago. I thought it was very interesting, so I recited part of it. Later, I found that reciting the Great Compassion Mantra helped me stabilize my emotions. They all continue to use this method of meditation, but in fact it is rarely used.

"Sister."

When I recited the fifth paragraph of the Great Compassion Mantra, the young man came back. I stopped reciting to myself and looked at him in a blink of an eye. There were a few drops of sweat sticking to the young man's smooth forehead, and half of his brown bangs were hanging down. I wanted to stand up, but unexpectedly my hands and feet I was numb, but fortunately the young man helped me in time.

With the help of the young man, I walked back step by step. After my head calmed down, I was no longer as scared as before. Although there was a heavy lump in my heart, I was even more unwilling to let Libika's body lie in the wilderness all the time. Grass rot.

I can't change her death, and I can't eliminate her hatred, but at least I can let her rest in peace, and cleaning up her corpse is the last thing I can do for her.

"Just be buried here." The young man chose a place very close to Libika's house. The young man and I dug the soil together, found some wooden boards from the wooden house and nailed it into a simple coffin, and then covered the coffin. Libica of gauze moved into the coffin.

Regarding the man with the scar and his men, I don't know how the young man dealt with those mafia, and I don't know how he moved Rebecca's body here beforehand, and automatically ignored it when digging with the young man The faint smell of blood wafted over the young man, and I occasionally caught a glimpse of a drop of blood on his shoulder. I selfishly hoped that it was the blood of the enemy, not the young man.

Since he said to leave those bad things to him, I won't ask about the man with the scar. After I buried Libica, I cried for a long time in front of the engraved wooden sign, my throat choked Feeling very uncomfortable, death has always been far away from me, but Libecca is still so young... I don’t know if she will be reunited with her relatives in heaven.

Looking at Rebecca's tombstone, my sad voice stuck in my throat, and it took me a long time to ask: "Hey, Tsunayoshi-kun, is it... we did something wrong."

I suddenly understood why Rebecca would hate us.

If we hadn't been here, hadn't met Libica, wouldn't Libica actually have to die?

If we hadn't met her, she was still an orphan in the town of Mora, and maybe we wouldn't have met the Mafia.

If Libica hadn't met the Mafia, she wouldn't have betrayed us because of her greed, and she wouldn't have died under the ruthless and cruel gunshots of the Mafia for no reason.

Although Libica's death was caused by her own greed, she was still an ordinary person who didn't understand the horror of the mafia. If she knew in advance that the mafia world is cruel and has no credibility at all, wouldn't she? She won't betray us because of a momentary greed?

Living under the poverty line and struggling, suddenly a stranger is willing to give you a mountain of gold, just like the irresistible Eve***, if Rebecca's greed is because of her long-term human nature, then the betrayal of the mafia world , but it was cruelty that she had never experienced before.

Rebecca betrayed our information to the mafia because of her greedy nature. The mafia is used to having blood on their hands, so they don't care about trusting and betraying a little girl, and we who involved Libeca in the mafia struggle , but also bear the responsibility of the indirect executioner.

"Sister, stop blaming yourself." The young man pulled my hand suddenly, "If you are sad, just cry." He raised his other hand, paused, and then let it be placed on the back of my head , Feeling that he was soothing my hair, I lowered my head and sucked my nose, unwilling to look at him. After all these years, I almost didn’t cry much, but when I thought of Libica’s death, I always felt very sad.

"This matter... everyone is at fault, and no one is at fault." The young man's gloomy voice sounded above my head, and I could feel that the young man was also sad, but he wanted to comfort me instead.

Because we involved her in the mafia struggle, Rebecca has reason to hate us, but there is no absolute black and white in the world, we are at fault, and the mafia who killed Rebecca is also at fault. Is there nothing wrong with Kaka's betrayal?

I wanted to bring Libica to live in Palermo. This was my kindness, but I didn't have time to tell Libica that she had met the mafia's money boss, and we were just as good as her She is a stranger who has only been together for a day. She has a reason to betray us for money.

But if she directly tells us that she lacks the funds for survival, both the youth and I will try to achieve her wishes afterwards, but she did not explain to us, in addition to her distrust of us, it is more her belief in survival that makes her She doesn't want to believe that there are actually good people in this world.

We live in different classes, and there must be incommunicable differences in our thoughts and beliefs with Rebecca, which finally caused this irreparable tragedy. In the face of the generation gap, my compassion has become useless .

There are a lot of unfortunate orphans in this world, but maybe they don’t need your kind redemption, I curled my lips in a self-deprecating manner, at least I’m not suitable to be the Holy Mother of Rebecca, the work of saving the suffering is better left to others will be better.

All this just proves the fact that "I am actually an ordinary person".

After thinking about this, my heart suddenly aged a lot, so I missed my relatives in Palermo more and more, I missed my Ann, I missed Anna and Janice, as well as Uncle Joseph and Aunt Catherine. I will miss JOY. Speaking of which, after I jumped into the sea, I don’t know what happened to JOY on that cruise ship?

Human nature has always been a very complicated topic, just as in this world, right and wrong are always unclear. Once I touch something that I can't do anything about, even I can only choose to dwell in my little warm thoughts to dilute myself Sadness for Rebecca's death.

After looking at the tombstone for the last time, the young man and I slowly set off for the city. There was no extra money to take a boat home. Fortunately, kind residents were willing to lend us a phone call. Half an hour later, the roar of a plane circling in the sky was heard on time.

"Judaime!" "BOSS!" "Lisa!" Jumping down with Hayato Gokuji in mid-air, and the JOY I am most familiar with.

"JOY, why are you on the plane of the prison temple?" "Lisa, why can't you think about jumping into the sea! Did that boy Sawada Tsunayoshi bully you?!"

... Who can't think of jumping into the sea? !My veins are bouncing.

Also, I said JOY, isn't the focus of your attention the group of mafias who threaten me?Why did you become Tsunayoshi-kun again?

"This silver-haired boy said he was going to find his boss, so I took his plane." Seeing that I was unharmed, he pinched my face without any scruples, but I slapped him away "Then you didn't take the Bawang plane once?" I asked with a twitching expression.

JOY raised his eyebrows and gave me a very contemptuous look: "The junior respects the senior, I forgive him for not daring to charge me for transportation."

……alright, you win.

"Although I am very embarrassed to say this, I still want to say: Welcome back, Lisa." JOY smiled and rubbed my head and hugged me.

"Well, I'm back." I hugged him back, feeling warm in my heart.

When I got on the plane, I looked at the several planes located nearby, and I silently raised my head and asked the young man: "Gang Ji-jun, in fact, your family is a local tyrant who flies planes..."

The young man twitched his brows and eyes, and he stretched out his hand towards me. I put my hand on it without thinking, until I boarded the plane, facing the young man's smile that was close at hand, I flexed my fingers and quickly drew it from his palm. When I came out, my hands and face tended to be hot, but it was more difficult to suppress the loss in my heart. If I return to Palermo this time, probably...it will be difficult for me to see youth again in the future.

Concealing the strange emotions in my heart, I took a deep breath and looked up. Unexpectedly, I met JOY's meaningful gaze when he stared at me. I hurriedly turned to look at the scenery outside the window. JOY sat with me, My every move can't escape his eyes.

The plane soon arrived in Palermo, and when I said goodbye to the young man, I suddenly didn’t know what to say. Seeing me staring down at the ground in silence, the young man standing opposite me also followed me in silence for some reason.
