Chapter 86 I have a friend

Bo Ling didn't answer right away, but stretched himself out, got up and walked to the edge of the tower.

Looking down from the Xuanqiong Pagoda, you can have a panoramic view of the palace.

Under the brilliance of the moonlight, all the palaces are lit up, like the ancients' fantasy of palaces in the sky.

"Before I entered the palace this time, Bai Yi took me to an open field behind Chaotian Street to find someone." Bai Ling said suddenly, "There are many homeless people in that area, most of them are women and children. Four know?"

"Ah."

"I've been in the capital for more than four years...almost five years?" Bo Ling sighed, "But this is the first time I know that there is such a thing as an exorbitant household in the world."

Wei Shishi put down his wine bowl, looked at Bo Ling, "Haven't you seen it before?"

"Maybe it happened." Bo Ling said softly, "It's just that I didn't care."

Wei Shishi smiled lightly.

Bo Ling's speech occasionally reveals the restraint and honesty that she shouldn't have at that age, which is probably the fundamental reason why the two have been able to get along well in the past four years.

Wei Shishi lowered his eyes slightly, but did not speak.

Bo Ling turned around and said again, "Actually, if you really want to thoroughly understand the basic logic of actions in a certain environment, the most efficient way is always to directly participate in that environment. By reading the script, you will never understand it clearly. of."

Wei Shishi lowered his head to drink and asked again, "So are you going?"

"No, I'd better read the script first." Bo Ling shook his head and said, "I'm still afraid to face so many people."

"What are you afraid of?"

"Afraid of crowds."

"What's so scary about crowds?"

Bai Ling laughed. She looked at Wei Shishi and asked, "Master Wei, isn't the crowd scary?"

Wei Shishi's hand lightly brushed the knives and swords at his waist, "It's not scary."

Bo Ling looked at Wei Shishi with a slight smile. "Well, the situation of Fourteen is naturally a different matter."

Her gaze gradually fell, and she looked at the small stove where Fourteen was cooking wine.

The fire reflected her eyes, and Bai Ling murmured again, "But I'm still afraid. When the crowd gathers, there is no bottom line for evil."

The words were light, but still made Wei Shishi stop holding the wine bowl, "Did you remember what happened in Qingyang in the past?"

Bo Ling shook his head, "It's not just Qingyang."

Wei Shishi sighed in his heart. He is not good at comforting people, but after thinking for a long time, he still said, "I hope such things will never happen again in the future."

Bo Ling didn't answer, and the only sound in the air was the sound of flames licking firewood.

"I have a friend." Bo Ling said suddenly, "She is about my age...well, no, she is a few years older than me."

"Hmm." Wei 14 folded his arms and looked at Bo Ling seriously.

"She lived with her aunt since she was a child, and her aunt was a teacher in the school, who took good care of her." Bai Ling said, "When she was 13 years old, her parents returned from business and made a lot of money. , took her back to my side."

"Yes." Wei Shishi replied again.

Bo Ling suddenly felt a little grateful in his heart. Wei Shishi's reticence at this time seemed to be commendable - he would not ask why the woman became a teacher in the school, nor would he comment on why his parents chose to be the last student. business.

He just listens.

Bo Ling walked back to Wei Shishi's side in a few steps, and sat down again.

"She was excellent academically but very shy, and one year at the end of the school year, she was elected student representative and had to give a speech in front of more than 800 people in the school.

"At that time, she had actually moved back home and lived with her parents, but she still had to discuss with her aunt. She would go to her aunt's place after school every day to write, revise, recite, and give speeches... In short I have been preparing for nearly a month, and I am well prepared.

"But unexpectedly, on the day of the speech, an accident happened."

Bo Ling looked at the flames, put his arms around his knees, and suddenly stopped talking, as if he was caught in the memory of the distant past.

"Did you forget the words?" Wei Shishi asked.

Bo Ling shook his head, "The ceremony that day was interrupted, a group of people rushed in from outside, everyone was tall and strong, wearing white coats that are unique to hospitals, in front of everyone, put me...that My friend's aunt, who was taken away."

A trace of unbearableness flashed in Bai Ling's eyes.

"Why did you arrest her?"

"Because in the eyes of ordinary people, she is an abnormal person."

Wei Shishi's expression moved slightly, but he didn't interrupt Bai Ling's words.

Bo Ling's tone was very light. Many years have passed since this incident, and when he recalled it, it was far from the shock it was then.

"It was first noticed by the friend's mother, who found out that her sister was very old but not married. Later, she found out that she was always hanging out with another woman. The two lived together like a husband and wife.

"This incident was very scandalous in my friend's environment. It just so happened that my friend's mother learned that my aunt would be there on the day my friend gave a speech, so I contacted the local correctional hospital beforehand and arrested him by force."

Bai Ling took a deep breath, "The reason why we did it at that time was because my aunt was about to go abroad at that time, she resigned from school and moved, and my friend's mother didn't even know where she lived... She was very I’m about to leave with my lover soon.”

"Ah."

"Things happened too quickly. This friend of mine stood helplessly on the stage, watching the people in the audience hurriedly take him away. Then... he passed out on the spot." Bai Ling said softly.

Wei Shishi lightly stirred the charcoal fire in the stove.

Bai Ling continued, "My friend has been looking for my aunt's whereabouts for the rest of her life... but it was of no avail. After that accident, she could no longer speak in public. Once she entered a crowded space She would breathe too fast, and even fainted. Her parents secretly tried many ways to make her speak, but they did not take her to see a doctor."

"Why." Wei Shishi asked again.

"Because seeing a doctor means that the child is 'sick', and they can't accept that their child is 'sick'." Bai Ling smiled, "So they always say to the outside world that 'this child is very afraid of strangers'.

"Later, my friend went to study abroad. In the department—no, there happened to be a gentleman in the school who was proficient in the treatment of such diseases. It took about a year to recover her through counseling and exposure."

"What the hell is... why can't she speak?"

"This is complicated to say." Bai Ling said softly, "On the one hand, it is guilt and fear. After all, she could have called for help in public and asked the teachers and classmates of the school to help, but she was so frightened that she froze. , so nothing was done. Not to mention the key information of 'Auntie will be there' was also obtained from her by her mother."

"On the other hand..." Bai Ling smiled, "Even she didn't realize that this was her most direct and thorough revenge on her parents—making them immediately have an unspeakable, abnormal situation." daughter."
