Chapter 114 Human Heart Is Unfathomable, Disturbance Rose Again (2/2)
”The sky stopped leaking!” Long Fei said with absolute certainty, ”Originally, there were no clouds at all. It couldn't rain there! Before and after, there were no clouds! I know this very well! ”
”But you said the river rose?” Hao Ning carefully thought about it, ”Which is to say, that water was really caused by the Leakage of the sky. And it wasn't illusion trick an expert was using, but a real leakage? What in the world was this …”
”...” Liu Shuai didn't want to argue too much over this matter, so no matter how much Hao Ning thought and couldn't stop himself from nagging, Liu Shuai continued to ask, ”What happened next?”
”Later …” Long Fei continued to reminisce, but closed his eyes, ”I immediately flew back to where Yufei's body was, only then did I realize that my soul was fragile, as though I have suffered a severe injury. And when I went back, although the flood had arrived, it did not break the dike … ”
”That's good,” Liu Shuai patted his chest. ”It's best if people were safe and sound.”
”But Yufei's body has already disappeared,” Long Fei continued to close his eyes as if he was enduring something. Although his eyes were closed, his fists were clenched very tightly, ”I saw Yufei's fellow classmates standing on the shore, and the man Yufei loved said something to the others. Thus, my spirit flew over to them and carefully listened, hoping to find out where Yufei had gone to.”
”What did you hear?” Liu Shuai had an ominous premonition.
”That man said,” Long Fei's expression was a little twisted. He opened his eyes and looked at Liu Shuai silently, and imitated the man's words in a strange and terrifying tone, ”Remember, all of us pushed Yufei together, and none of us is innocent, so Yufei died from exhaustion to save our fellow classmates who fell into the water …”
”They pushed him down together? Yet they would say that he died from exhaustion?” After Liu Shuai heard this, he laughed miserably and said, ”Died from exhaustion? Hahaha, were there really such shameless people? They pushed their classmate into the river, and to escape the blame, they lied together? They …”
”And then?” Hao Ning stopped Liu Shuai and continued to ask, ”Did you find Yufei?”
”Yes, I did. He was rushed down the waterfall, and he was out of all recognition.” Long Fei covered his face and shook his head, his voice coming out from the gaps between his fingers, unable to be heard clearly, ”Forget about the situation I was in at that time, even with my current mana, I couldn't save anything. Later, in the sky, I coldly watched his classmates find and transport Yufei's corpse back to school, hold a fake memorial service, cremation, and blessings. The expression on their faces really was like that for the death of a friend that they would never be willing to part with. ”
”Now you know why I didn't want to return to Qingbei and obtain that degree?” Long Fei looked at Liu Shuai and sneered, ”Firstly, back then, Yufei didn't value his education much. Secondly, why should I have the same label as these people with the heart of a beast? It would be my shame if this label were placed on me! ”
”You …” Liu Shuai looked at Long Fei, who was using a cold tone to speak the indignant words and did not say a single word.
”Of course — —” Long Fei's expression eased up slightly, he shook his head, slowed down his breathing, and continued, ”Not every student in Qingbei was like this, there were still a lot of people who treated Yufei very well. For example, after Yufei dies, Teacher Ren felt sad for a long time, and that's why when Teacher Ren saw me, she fainted from excitement.” Long Fei thought for a while, then looked at Hao Ning, ”You're right, this was the evil of humanity, it had nothing to do with Qingbei.”
”So now, you have changed into the appearance of Yufei--”Hao Ning looked at the Dragon God in front of him. He never thought that this little god, who was originally a little chatty and unreliable, would have such a complicated story. ”Is it in memory of him?”
”I was named by Yufei.” Long Fei looked at Hao Ning. ”I've been Yufei for a few years afterward, and I really can't think of a reason to change my appearance. Perhaps — ”Long Fei looked out of the window and mumbled,” I still hope that the once simple, kind-hearted child who always rode on me and flew into the sky behind the Dragon Shrine, was still alive forever.”
”Have you never thought of taking revenge?” Liu Shuai sighed and asked.
”Revenge?” Long Fei said in grief, ”Whose revenge? Mine? The man didn't hurt me. Yufei? When I became Yufei, I inherited Yufei's memories. Only then did I know how strong Yufei's feelings for that person were. He just couldn't say it out loud. Tell me, how should I take revenge? ”
”So, can you still stay calm when facing that person?” Hao Ning suddenly asked, ”The man that Yufei love and killed Yufei in the end?”
”Why can't I?” Long Fei's eyes flickered, as though he was feeling a little uncomfortable, ”I just said -”
”Perhaps you could lie to yourself about this, but if you want to lie about it to me … Hehe. When you were facing Chen Busheng just now, ”Hao Ning took a sip of tea and shook his head,” I felt that you were not that calm. ”
”Hao Ning, what are you talking about?” Liu Shuai laughed and was about to laugh at Long Fei, but his expression suddenly changed, ”Are you saying that the person who caused Yufei's death was Xiaowen's cousin? How is that possible? ”
”How do you know?” Long Fei asked, this sentence, was equivalent to admitting it.
”I guessed.” Hao Ning kept the cup of tea in his mouth for a long time, it was extremely bitter, but in the end, he swallowed it, ”I would rather I guessed wrong, Alas … a person could rise to such a high position after graduation, and could use such strange methods during the SARS period. Moreover, Long Fei, you said that the person could have known of the internal policies of Qingbei in advance, and could have instigated the entire dorm to do such a thing. It is impossible without any background, so I guessed … ”
”Alas …” Long Fei sighed and nodded, ”It's also because he is the grandson of Teacher Ren that I have always been in a contradiction.”
”Holy shit, I saw him being so friendly with you today,” Liu Shuai said coldly. ”And I thought he had a good relationship with you! But he turned out to be this kind of person! No wonder he had to push the people over to his cousin's place. He must be afraid of leakages in other places!”
”Do you still plan to beat the cousin of Xiaowen every time you see him?” Hao Ning glanced at Liu Shuai, and said intentionally, ”I'll keep the words I said before, as long as you punch first, I will follow you immediately. One Solar Finger, Seven Injuries Fist, Eighteen Subduing Dragon Strikes, Life and Death Talisman, Six Solar Palm of Tianshan Mountain, just randomly pick one, what do they say? What Qili said--exactly, if you don't beat him until his face bloomed, he won't know why flowers are so red! ”
”Well — That person is Xiaowen's cousin after all …” Liu Shuai hesitated for a moment, then reacted, ”Alright, you set me up, didn't you? You already knew that it was the cousin of Xiaowen, so you intentionally provoked me to say such words? Tell me, how come you're like a Holmes now, able to deduce so much with just the slightest trace?”
”Was that the slightest trace?” Hao Ning blocked Liu Shuai's fist that was about to hit him, and laughed while ridiculing him, ”I almost wrote out the correct answer in your face, didn't I? When you saw Xiaowen, your mind couldn't even think straight, okay? And I also know, no matter who it is, ”Hao Ning paused as he spoke, looked at Long Fei and said,” You have your reason of not making a move, don't you?”
Long Fei nodded his head: ”The thoughts of people are too complicated, I would rather be a god being worshiped in a temple than to have to deal with such a cause and effect again, this was also Yufei's wish for me.”
”Alas,” Hao Ning sighed softly, thinking to himself, what's going on with me today? At first, he felt that he found out Long Fei's secret, some shameful secret, but after hearing it, he realized that it was a sad story. He was doing the unnecessary thing, bringing back the sad thoughts of Long Fei. Thinking about it, he hurriedly changed the topic and shouted at Liu Shuai, ”Who did you just say was Holmes? Wherever he goes, people die, okay? Did anybody die in any place I went?”
”Hehe, nobody died in the places you went, but wherever you eat, there's always a fight.” Liu Shuai also smiled slightly and said tit for tat, ”You are just a fighting version of Holmes, a serious agitator of unstable people in the society.”
”Nonsense!” Hao Ning laughed and scolded, ”Nonsense, every time we met in a fight, it was always you and me eating together, why couldn't you be the agitator?”
”Pah!” Suddenly, the sound of a bowl smashing was heard, ”Why is your service here so poor? Call your manager out! ”
Hao Ning and Liu Shuai looked over and suddenly realized that there were so many people in the hall. When they looked at the watch, they realized that they had been talking for nearly three hours, now was the peak hour of eating, outside the water cover, there were already a lot of customers. One of the customers had already broken a bowl of soup beside him, and the soup in the bowl had splattered onto the floor, looking like an unknown flower. And as for the customer, he was a big rough guy, as if he was from the Water Margin.
”Holy Sh*t!” Seeing that, Liu Shuai took another look at Hao Ning, and muttered depressingly: ”Seriously? What I said was that accurate? I said you're a jinx! See? They are about to fight again! ”
”Who's a jinx?” A voice came. The two looked carefully and found that Zhou Yuan was standing beside them, talking to them with a smile on his face.
