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

Chapter 356 Two Little Windmills

"How's that story?"

Zhang Xuyang looked at Xu Shilong expectantly.

Xu Shilong closed the notebook in his hand and gave him a thumbs up.

"Brilliant."

"Hey, there's another one that was taken away by my mother."

Zhang Xuyang looked somewhat proud, then lowered his head and took big gulps of his rice from the bowl.

At this time he was sitting at the desk, and Xu Shilong was sitting on his bed.

At this time, it was completely dark outside the window and the lights were just coming on.

"Little dragon."

"what happened?"

Xu Shilong looked out the window and then withdrew his gaze.

His eyes fell on Zhang Xuyang's face. There was a grain of rice at the corner of his mouth, but his expression was very serious at this time.

It looked so funny that Xu Shilong couldn't help laughing.

"Don't laugh, be serious, I'm telling you something."

"Oh, okay." Xu Shilong held back his laughter.

"Your parents are not good people." Zhang Xuyang said directly without beating around the bush.

"Oh." Xu Shilong looked calm, as if he already knew it.

"You're not surprised at all?" Zhang Xuyang said.

"I'm not a fool." Xu Shilong said in a low voice.

Zhang Xuyang heard this and said without hesitation: "My mother said that your parents are not good people. They deliberately killed you and then defrauded money from the insurance company..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shilong pursed his lips tightly, and not much expression could be seen.

But after Zhang Xuyang finished speaking, he corrected him in a low voice: "It's my father."

"what?"

"My father did it all." Xu Shilong said.

"Oh, so your mother doesn't know yet. Do you want me to tell her? I can write to her or call her." Zhang Xuyang said angrily immediately.

"My mother knows." Xu Shilong whispered.

Zhang Xuyang widened his eyes upon hearing this and looked at him in great surprise.

"Then she...then she..."

"Dad gave her money and she stopped making trouble..." Xu Shilong said in a low voice.

"They... why are they so bad?" Zhang Xuyang stuttered.

She stood up and wanted to hug Xu Shilong, but then she felt that it seemed a bit awkward for two boys to be like this.

So he reached out and patted Xu Shilong on the shoulder and said, "Don't be sad, they...they..."

He wanted to say that they would get their retribution, but then he remembered that he seemed to have heard his parents say that they were living a very happy life now, so where would the retribution be?

"I'll tell the police for you. I'll write to the police and ask them to arrest them." Zhang Xuyang felt angry and aggrieved.

"Thank you, but it's not necessary." Xu Shilong forced a smile.

"Why? You are just too cowardly. If it were me... I would fight them. They are so mean. Why did they treat you like this? I thought they were good people before..."

"The police checked, but it was useless." Xu Shilong said.

Zhang Xuyang was stunned and a little surprised when he heard this.

"Why didn't it work?"

"Because there is no evidence." Xu Shilong said.

"And I'm not important."

The feeling that no one cared about him made him very confused. He didn't know why he was alive or why he existed. Everything seemed to be meaningless.

But he longed for family affection and the love of his parents...

They obviously loved him so much and had so many beautiful memories...

He is only an eight-year-old child and doesn't understand so much, so he feels confused...
-
It has to be said that Xu Shilong's father Xu Jiawei was very meticulous in his work. The insurance he bought for Xu Shilong was not purchased in the year of the accident, but when Xu Shilong was three years old.

And there was a reason for buying the insurance. At that time, three-year-old Xu Shilong almost drowned when he returned home. Since then, Xu Jiawei bought him several high-value insurance policies.

Others just thought that Xu Jiawei loved his child and didn't think much about it. Four or five years later, Xu Shilong had an accident. Everything seemed to be a coincidence. After all, who could have started planning four or five years ago?

At the beginning, no one really doubted it, even Xu Jiawei's wife, Xu Shilong's mother.

But after Xu Jiawei received a large sum of compensation and wrote a letter of apology to the perpetrator Zhao Xiaorui, some people began to come to their senses and felt that something was wrong.

However, there was no definite evidence, so the police simply asked a few questions and the case was dropped.

Of course, the most important thing is that Xu Shilong’s mother also chose not to investigate further because she was also a vested interest and she also got a share of the money.

The person is gone and there is no way to bring him back. In this case, I might as well make some money.

In the face of money, family affection seems so ridiculous.

When the two divorced, Xu Shilong and Zhao Xiaorui got together.

Anyone who can’t guess what’s going on at this point is a fool.

This is why even Zhang Xuyang’s parents knew about this.

However, there is a saying that officials will not investigate unless the people report it, not to mention that there is indeed no substantial evidence.

In addition, Xu Jiawei's family moved away directly, so naturally no one cared about these dirty things, and they only became topics of conversation after dinner.

As for Xu Shilong, no one cares about this poor kid.

Zhang Xuyang cared. Xu Shilong was his best friend, and he was sad for a long time.

So he also drew a lot of cartoons about Xu Shilong and often dreamed about him...

"You are important, you are my best friend, I...I care about you very much..."

"Yeah, I know." Xu Shilong smiled and nodded.

After all, there are still people who remember him and care about him...

The two chatted for a long time and said a lot until Zhang Xuyang's parents came back.

However, they did not find Xu Shilong.

As long as he didn't show up, they naturally wouldn't be able to see him, and they rarely entered Zhang Xuyang's room.

"When I grow up and get married, you can be reborn as my son." Zhang Xuyang said.

It was late at night and the two of them were lying side by side in bed.

"I do not want it."

"I will buy you delicious food and a lot of toys." Zhang Xuyang said.

"That...that won't work either." Xu Shilong hesitated.

"I will always be good to you and love you forever." Zhang Xuyang said with a smile.

"Well... let me think about it."

"Haha, it's settled then. Call me daddy and let me hear it."

"roll."

The two made a fuss.

"Yangyang, it's so late. What are you doing instead of sleeping? Are you playing with your phone again?" Mother's voice came from outside the door.

"No, I'm telling myself a story. I'm going to sleep soon." Zhang Xuyang said hurriedly.

Turning to look to the side, I saw Xu Shilong had already curled up in the blanket with his head covered.

Fortunately, Mom didn't come in, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

But neither of them spoke, they just lay quietly on the bed.

The moonlight shines in from the window, and the breeze blows the curtains gently. Everything is so quiet and peaceful.

Neither of them spoke until a dark cloud obscured the moonlight.

Zhang Xuyang then whispered: "When are you leaving?"

"When you fall asleep." Xu Shilong said.

"Then I won't sleep all night." Zhang Xuyang turned over and sat up, looking smug.

The moonlight shone in from the window again, falling on Zhang Xuyang's face. The hair on his face seemed to be clearly visible, and the cunning look on his face was also clearly visible...

"Xiaolong, let's continue talking."

"it is good."

"Xiaolong, I'm grown up now and I don't want to be a cartoonist anymore."

"why?"

"I want to be a policeman, and then I will avenge you and arrest them all."

"Forget it, just be a cartoonist."

"Why? Are you scared? You're such a coward."

"No, you're too fat to be a police officer."

"Nonsense, I'm not fat at all. My mom said I'm just a little strong. And who says fat people can't be police officers..."

“Being a fat cop?”

Xu Shilong imagined him wearing a police uniform and looking fat, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

The two of them made a fuss for a while.

Zhang Xuyang's voice became lower and lower, and finally he fell asleep without knowing when.

until--

"Yangyang, don't sleep anymore, get up."

My mother's voice, as always, rang outside the door.

"Right away." Zhang Xuyang replied in a daze.

Then he suddenly reacted, turned his head and looked around, but there was no one around, no familiar figure.

Zhang Xuyang turned over and sat up, staring blankly towards the window.

The morning sun shines in from the window, the breeze blows the window screen, and the two windmills in the pen holder, one is spinning forward in the breeze, and the other is standing still...

Zhang Xuyang felt an indescribable sadness in his heart. He could no longer hold back and burst into tears, with tears rolling down his cheeks...

The door was pushed open from the outside with a bang, and Zhang's mother rushed into the room with a nervous expression and hugged him in her arms.

"Yangyang, what happened? Did you have a nightmare?"

"Are you being bullied at school? Tell mom and I'll take care of it for you..."

"Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang...where have you been..."

……

There are two small windmills on the table, both are brightly colored.

A life that is still whirring forward, like a leaping life.

One of them remained motionless in the same place, because it had died in a certain evening in the past...
