“When I was little, I saw you throw away that cat, and I thought to myself, my son will definitely be able to fulfill my wish someday. Only my son…”

She murmured, and her voice gradually faded.

The snow began to lessen.

"son."

"Ah."

"Mom once said that she hoped you could be my son again in your next life. I will definitely do better in the next life and become a more perfect mother. This is what I meant..."

“I take it back,” the mother said hoarsely. “You deserve better parents, richer parents, parents who understand you better, who love you more, so you can live a happier life and grow taller, not parents like us…”

Snowflakes blew by the howling wind clung to the corners of Jiang Si's eyes as she gazed into the distance.

The dense clouds in the sky parted.

A magnificent sunset spilled out from the gaps in the clouds, the setting sun like blood, burning the clouds and causing them to churn, so much so that the sea seemed to boil.

It burst into a sea of ​​fire.

"No need, my parents, it's enough that you're here," Jiang Si said softly. "I'm used to it."

His mother reached out and grabbed his hand: "Well, there's nothing we can do about it then."

“Yeah, there’s nothing I can do about it, I’m used to it,” Jiang Si simply agreed. “I’m not used to other people.”

The setting sun cast its light on the mother's face, her smile radiating warm happiness. "Habit, it's so good."

The empty world gradually quieted down.

The sounds of waves and wind faded into the distance, the snowflakes stopped falling, and the cold ground began to melt.

The setting sun was slowly dragged into the sea on the horizon, and the world fell into the abyss.

However, the sunset was still magnificent and dazzling.

"My son."

"Ah."

"It's all dark now, how are you going to get down the mountain?"

Jiang Si looked at the blazing red sky and said, "I can see it."

"Huh? Can't Mom see?"

"No, it's just getting dark."

"I see."

Bathed in the last rays of the setting sun, high in the mountain, the mother slowly drifted off to sleep. "You should go home early, Jiang Si. Go back to sleep early, don't stay here too long, you'll get cold..."

He stood there, and his mother's voice began to fade away until it could no longer be heard.

My body temperature gradually dropped on the mountain, becoming as cold as snow, and even my heartbeat stopped.

The wind howled, blowing through the mother's pale hair. Her eyes were closed, and her expression was peaceful, as if she were asleep.

Until finally, as the sun set, the world turned into an abyss.

It's getting dark.

He said.

Pushing her wheelchair, the mother, who would never wake up again, reached the edge of the mountaintop.

White foam churned up from the sea below.

"Good night."

He pushed the wheelchair down.

It plunged into the deepest part of the ocean.

When he came down, it was already daylight.

As he walked through the gate, he saw the security guard at the mountain scenic spot staring at him blankly.

"There's one more..."

Jiang Si ignored him and simply left.

The other person caught up and shouted again, but didn't dare to continue chasing—remembering the mountain climbing murderer he had read about before.

What if I chase after them and get killed?

Why would a security guard risk his life?

The other party has registered their information, including their phone number and name. There's also CCTV footage here; there's plenty of evidence and clues. Contacting the police is the right choice…

So instead of trying to stop Jiang Si, he simply called the police.

Jiang Si naturally knew what was going to happen, but he wasn't interested in paying attention to it.

After descending the mountain, I went straight back to the alley where my mother used to live.

During the time he spent with his mother, he also got to know most of the neighbors, and he often borrowed things from them.

Some of the early-rising neighbors greeted him.

"Jiang Si, so early?"

"Ah."

"Where's your mom? Didn't you go out together?"

"It was thrown into the sea."

"what?"

Responding casually, the aunt who had just gotten up seemed a little confused, holding a toothbrush in her hand, unsure whether she should ask more questions.

Jiang Si didn't waste any more time; she simply went back inside and started packing her things.

There were some remaining belongings and things borrowed from others, all of which had to be returned.

As he was packing his things, a car drove into the alley.

Soon, the younger brother with glasses got out of the car. This time, he didn't bring anyone else; he was alone.

He walked in and immediately questioned:

"Where's Mom? Where did my mom go?!"

Jiang Si didn't look at him. She simply tidied up the things she had bought and put them together. She also organized and cleaned up the things she had borrowed from the house and put them into cardboard boxes.

Where's my mom?!

"Didn't I say he's dead?"

Before I came back, I sent him a message. After all, he is still my parents' child, and he has the right to know about his mother's death.

However, I didn't expect it to arrive so quickly.

I originally planned to pack my things and leave before I arrived.

But it doesn't really matter.

Jiang Si casually replied, then washed all the buckets, pots, pans, and dishes, took them out, and returned them to her neighbor's house.

The younger brother simply stayed by his side, saying, "When I left, Mom was in good health. How could she suddenly die? Did you do something? I'm warning you, the police are looking for you everywhere. If you killed Mom, I'll never forgive you!"

He kept chattering away, but Jiang Si ignored him and continued with her own business.

Back inside, I put all of my mother's bedding, sheets, clothes, and shoes into a box and stuffed it under the bed.

Then, while opening the cabinet, she continued to sort through the remaining belongings.

I saw a card and an envelope.

"Wait, this bank card should have been left to me by my mom..."

Upon seeing the bank card, the younger brother immediately spoke up, but as he approached, Jiang Si kicked him in the shin.

He immediately knelt on the ground.

Ignoring her younger brother who was clutching his leg and screaming in pain, Jiang Si sat down on the edge of the bed and opened the envelope.

Look at it carefully.

“Jiang Si, Mom misses you. After your dad left, your mom was all alone. It's so meaningless to live alone, but dying alone is also terrifying. Sigh, if only someone could keep me company, but this old woman is disliked by everyone I visit. I don't want to trouble the neighbors, and I always need others to take care of me, which is making my health worse and worse…”

Just be a little thicker-skinned, why live such a tiring life if you're always so concerned about saving face?

“I didn’t realize it when your dad was still alive, but I realized it after he passed away. It’s so different to have someone by your side. Even if you’re both too old to move or too sick to live, at least you can talk to each other and won’t dislike each other. You’re annoying people wherever you go. He died first and is actually enjoying a better life.”

“Son, I don’t know when you will be able to come back, or maybe you won’t come back at all. But I thought I should leave you a few words. If you come back and your father and I are both dead, you will be so lonely. Your father is stubborn and left all his money to your brother. But I’m not biased. I’ve also left you some money.”

“Lu Ya is a good girl. Mom can tell she really likes you and has agreed to let you marry her. But I never thought Lu Ya would take you away. I don’t know where she went. I hope you and her can be happy. Don’t make girls suffer all the time. Don’t be as annoying as your father used to be. There’s 200,000 in this card. It’s not much, but it’s enough for you to buy her some nice things.”

"Don't blame Mom for not preparing a bride price for you. Lu Ya doesn't seem like the kind of girl who would ask for one. But we'll still give her one. After you come back, go to your brother and get half of your father's inheritance. It's not much, but it's a token of your goodwill. If your brother refuses, show him your father's will..."

After reading it, Jiang Si just snorted and found it boring.

The younger brother, who was clutching his leg, looked up and asked, "What? How much?"

As Jiang Si folded and put away the bank card and envelope and was about to leave, her younger brother, who had been squatting on the ground, suddenly stood up.

"Wait a minute! The family fortune hasn't been divided yet, what are you doing leaving! Where's Mom's body?! As the eldest son, you're not even going to hold a funeral?! Do you have any conscience? Do you know what everyone calls you? You beast!"

Jiang Si turned her head and looked at her hysterical younger brother. "I threw Mom's body into the sea. If you're interested, you can go and retrieve it slowly."

"Varied……"

Before he could say anything, Jiang Si left, and her younger brother chased after her.

"You're a real beast!"

Jiang Si waved her hand and ignored him.

He is almost at the point of understanding the principles of the mental landscape.

There's no reason to stay here any longer.
