Why don't you have a normal person on board?

Chapter 425 Rain
I have lived in this village for almost seventeen or eighteen years.

You don't need to know who I am, you just need to listen to the story I'm about to tell.

Eighteen years ago, my younger brother and I were born. I was born less than ten minutes earlier than my younger brother, but it was only these ten minutes that allowed me to bear the title of elder brother.

Since I was born, I haven't realized what it will be like in the future. I have no memory of when I was born, but I seem to be able to hear both of us crying in my ears until now.

Thankfully, I am normal, but this normality makes me feel inferior.

Because of my brother, he is not normal.

He is very smart, so smart that he looks like an alien creature.He was talking at less than eight months, while I was still making slurred syllables.

When I was a toddler, he was running.

I have learned to walk and he has learned simple calculations.

It took him less than a week to finish reading the few books left in the village, and even memorized the contents in his mind.

I didn't have any feelings for him at first, until I can remember, the only impression he gave me was that he was relatively introverted and usually not very talkative.

His father and mother usually cared about him, but until one day, he found evidence that his father was with other women from clues that were basically impossible to find.

The father and mother had a big fight, and no one wanted to admit it, but when they went to confront the woman afterwards, they learned that the woman was dead.

was killed.

I know who killed it, because the culprit who killed that woman was standing in front of me, smiling strangely at me, and making a silent gesture to me.

"This is a secret between the two of us, brother," he said in a very calm voice, not at all as if he had killed a living person not long ago, "It's really ill-considered for me to tell you this secret about Dad. I have made amends, and I will be more careful in my words and deeds in the future, don't worry."

I'm worried.

Even if he has said something to reassure me, it is still impossible for me to be relieved.

Since he can kill a person without changing his face, why can't he kill me at night while I am asleep?

From that day on, for the first time in my life, I had an emotion called fear.

I'm scared of him.

Whenever I fall asleep at night, I can dream of him holding the two ends of the rope and pulling them together a little bit.

I can also hear voices, and those voices of painful struggle linger in my ears like nightmares, making it impossible for me to sleep normally every night.

I am sick.

My parents took me to see a doctor, and the doctor in the village told me that it was a heart disease, and the person who tied the bell had to be untied, and the cause had to be found.

My parents asked me what was going on, but I just looked at him standing at the door of the clinic from a distance. Obviously he didn't do anything, but I still seemed to see him raise his hand and put it on his own. A silent gesture was made on the lips.

"This is our secret, brother," whispered in my ear, "remember?"

I kept silent, and my parents had no choice but to take me home, hoping that one day I could confess as soon as possible.

I was afraid to be in the same room with him, so I stayed at a friend's house for a while, and my friend also noticed that I seemed to have some resistance to my brother, so he made his own suggestion.

"Then you stay away from him, wouldn't it be good?"

I did so, and from that day on, I never spoke a word to him, never made any eye contact with him again.

In order to prevent the other peers in the village from suffering the same thing as me, against my conscience, I lied to the few remaining peers in the village, slandered my only younger brother, and kept them away from him.

I succeeded, and no one in the village wanted to play with my younger brother, saying he was a freak and a mute who couldn't speak.

Sometimes I can also feel my younger brother's eyes on me, but I dare not turn my head, I am afraid that if I turn my head and meet his eyes, I will recall the events of that night.

He didn't come to ask me either, presumably as smart as him, he should understand something.

But as long as I don't tell the secret between the two of us, maybe nothing will happen, and everyone can live in peace.

At least at first, I did think so.

Until one day, I accidentally saw a person communicating with my brother.

That was the woman who was abandoned by the well. At that time, she was only about two years older than us, and she was considered half of the same age.On weekdays, my parents often told me not to get close to this woman lightly, or you will become unlucky, and don't go close to the well in the village, there will be terrible things dragging you into it.

I always thought it was true, so I didn't dare to have any communication with that woman.

But my younger brother communicated with her, the two talked and laughed, and the woman even opened the book in her hand, as if she was reading the contents aloud.

"Maybe it's because they are all isolated. There is a special attraction between isolated people."

At that time, I was still so naive, I didn't expect what would happen next.

This woman is not my friend, and I will not be friends with this woman, so I did not remind her to stay away from my brother, but watching them talking and laughing, I always feel a little weird in my heart, like Something is tickling my heart, making me irritated for a while.

Until the night of lightning and thunder, the heavy rain poured down, the thunder gradually, and the dark clouds stayed over the village, as if the sky was bruised by someone.

I hid at my friend's house for the night, listening to the violent noise outside, and recalled what happened that night.

My friend soothed my emotions, and just as I was about to fall asleep, a strange movement disrupted our thoughts.

The door of my friend's house was kicked open fiercely, and the dazzling lightning flashed away, casting his shadow in.

I saw him standing in front of the door, who was drenched and covered in muddy water, looking for my figure.

My eyes widened, and after such a long time, I met his gaze again, but this time it was different.

His eyes were collapsing, and the aqueous humor was flowing out of them, mixed with blood, like a deflated ball, which looked disgusting.

"Brother, the things in the well are very interesting!" He said to me, his tone was never cheerful, "She revealed to me what was in the well, so I went to peek at the things in the well behind her back. Stuff, it’s so interesting... Even if I can’t see anything in my life, I’m still satisfied! She is a treasure, a gift from God! It’s a gift from the things in the well!”

He's crazy.

Listening to his words and looking at his appearance, I knew that he was crazy.

After saying this, leaving me and my friend in shock, he disappeared.

From that day on, he was blind.Because he peeked at the things in the well privately, he was contaminated by unclean things, so he lived in that woman's house. Except for the food that was like hogwash given by the villagers every day, everything returned to calm.

what's in the well
I don't know.

But I only know one thing.

It was she who made my brother blind.
