Don't talk nonsense, this is the Emperor's Banner

Chapter 176 Jumping into the River and Drowning
"Sister Duoduo, let me tell you, I went on a roller coaster with my mom. It was so high and fun."

"Oh, I took a big plane and flew in the sky." Duoduo glanced at her and said.

"That's different." Doudou became anxious when he heard that.

"What's the difference? I'm taller than you and can see the white clouds floating by... Hey, hey..."

Speaking of Bai Yun Duoduo, she remembered her own name.

"That's different, different..." Doudou was a little crazy.

"Oh~" Duoduo was teasing her on purpose.

"I...I won't talk to you anymore." She turned and ran to find Sister Xiaoyue.

When she found that the little brother was talking to Sister Xiaoyue, she walked up to him and pushed him aside with her little butt.

Zhao Ruijin was very angry, but he dared not say anything because this little girl seemed to be quite powerful, as she could fly and appear.

But he couldn't admit defeat verbally, so he said angrily: "I won't bother with a little brat."

"Sister Xiaoyue, let me tell you, my parents and I went to ride the Ferris wheel, and my mom was so scared that she looked like this..."

Doudou said this while imitating her mother as she came down from the Ferris wheel, her legs going weak and shaking constantly.

Maybe she imitated it in a funny way, or maybe Jiang Wenxin really looked like that. Even Xiaoyue, who had always had a stern face, was amused by her and laughed.

Zhao Ruijin walked to the side and looked at Duoduo again, but Duoduo quietly turned her butt towards him.

It wasn't that the three little girls rejected Zhao Ruijin, but Shen Siyuan had told them not to tell anyone about their abilities.

Shen Siyuan's words were like laws to them. Even the heartless Doudou would not speak carelessly.

So it was impossible for Zhao Ruijin to get anything out of them.

However, the little boy Zhao Ruijin was also smart and quickly thought of Shen Siyuan.

Not only can the other person see him, but the little girls in front of him also call him brother, so he must be a very capable person.

So he approached Shen Siyuan who was reading a document.

"Brother." He called out nervously.

He had always been very lively and talkative, but now he seemed a little reserved and nervous.

"What's wrong?" Shen Siyuan raised his head and asked with a smile.

"Can I ask how the little sisters make themselves visible so that living people can see them?"

"Of course." Shen Siyuan said.

“Because I gave them this ability.”

In fact, given Zhao Ruijin's age and personality, the first thing he should ask is why Doudou and the others can fly. After all, everyone has a dream of soaring into the sky.

But he just asked how to make himself visible, so it was obvious that there was someone he wanted to see.

"Then can you...can you..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Siyuan said, "Okay."

Zhao Ruijin was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and quickly bowed to Shen Siyuan and said, "Thank you, thank you, brother."

"Don't thank me yet. Can you tell me your story now?" Shen Siyuan said with a smile.

In fact, he could directly absorb the other party into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and read the other party's memory.

But Shen Siyuan doesn't like such a simple and crude method. He likes to listen to other people's stories.

Zhao Ruijin hesitated for a moment, then looked back at the three little girls. Seeing that they didn't notice this side, he nodded slightly.

"Sit down and talk slowly."

Shen Siyuan pointed to the sofa opposite him where Lin Jianming and others had just sat.

So Zhao Ruijin walked over and sat down.

But as soon as he sat down, Doudou, Duoduo and Xiaoyue immediately sat over.

Zhao Ruijin: ...

What are you doing?

Zhao Ruijin was speechless. He didn't want to tell his own story to a few little kids. It was so embarrassing.

"Tell me quickly, tell me quickly, I want to hear the story, how did you die?"

Doudou looked excited, as if different deaths were different challenges. Zhao Ruijin looked at Shen Siyuan, looking for help.

Shen Siyuan saw through his thoughts and shook his head, saying, "Don't feel ashamed. They died at this age, it's impossible for them to die of old age. They all have their own stories."

Doudou heard this and immediately took over the conversation, "I was drowned. I was accidentally swept away by the sea water, like a snake's tail. I couldn't climb out in a flash. The sea water gurgled into my mouth. It was so bad. I didn't like it..."

Doudou's innocent words seemed to give Zhao Ruijin enough courage.

"I committed suicide by jumping into the river." Zhao Ruijin said.

"Drowned?"

Doudou still doesn’t understand, what kind of death is jumping into the river?
Zhao Ruijin nodded.

"Then we are the same, we are the same..."

She seemed particularly excited, even a little proud.

"Sit down and listen to my brother continue."

Shen Siyuan scolded him and Doudou quickly sat back down obediently.

Then he turned to Zhao Ruijin and said, "Why would you commit suicide when you are fine?"

When they heard the word suicide, Doudou and Duoduo immediately turned to look at Sister Xiaoyue.

Xiaoyue glared at the two little guys, scaring them so much that they quickly looked away.

"Why can't I commit suicide? It's my own life, and I have the final say over it." Zhao Ruijin muttered.

When Xiaoyue heard this, her eyes lit up. She seemed to agree very much with what Zhao Ruijin said and felt a sense of identity.

Shen Siyuan also felt that this sounded reasonable.

But the reality is that there is a big problem. Your life does belong to you, but the prerequisite is that you have repaid the grace that gave you life. Otherwise, it is an extremely irresponsible behavior to just walk away.

However, Zhao Ruijin is still young and his thinking is not very mature, so it is understandable that he thinks this way.

Zhao Ruijin just muttered something quietly and then continued to talk about his life.
-
In Zhao Ruijin's memory, his life was extremely happy before the fourth grade of elementary school.

At that time, he had a super powerful lawyer father and a gentle and considerate mother.

But I don’t know from which day everything suddenly changed.

Mom said Dad had another woman outside.

Dad said that Mom is suspicious all the time and is always looking for trouble at home.

Mom and Dad were involved in endless quarrels.

At the beginning, mom and dad cried and made a fuss, and dad was afraid of her making a fuss, so he often didn't come home, and it took a long time for him to see him.

Later, the two of them gradually began to fall into an endless cold war, and no one paid attention to each other.

Even to him, she was indifferent.

During that period, Zhao Ruijin felt that his family was so depressing, like a huge cage that made him breathless.

He also wanted to ease the relationship between them, but it didn't seem to have much effect.

"Besides, I think my mother did overreact a bit." Zhao Ruijin lowered his head and said in a low voice.

He seemed to feel that it was not nice to say that about his mother, and he also seemed to feel sad that his mother had become like this.

In fact, Shen Siyuan understood such behavior. Once the seeds of doubt were planted, they would grow into towering trees.

"Every time my dad comes home, she secretly looks through his bag, secretly smells his clothes, and looks through his phone..."

"She thought she was doing a good job, but I knew it all."

"Finally my father couldn't stand her anymore and divorced her."

"When my parents divorced, they asked me who I would choose to be with."

"I chose to follow my mother. She is not as powerful as my father, rich and respected. She doesn't even have a job. She is very pitiful. Apart from me, she has nothing..."

When he said this, Zhao Ruijin finally couldn't help it and started wiping his tears. He no longer looked as cheerful and lively as before. Maybe that was just a disguise.

"I really don't understand adults, they clearly loved each other so much before..."

Zhao Ruijin said while crying.
