Zhou Die's mother couldn't accept this fact, and bought a lot of girls' clothes every year according to the child's growth.

Zhou Kang thought that this would make her feel better, so he kept letting her go.

Unexpectedly, now she is even more ill, and she recognizes every young girl who comes to the house as Zhou Die.

After talking about his wife, Zhou Kang took a sip of tea and asked Ameng, "Did something happen to Boya?"

Ah Meng took a deep breath and told Zhou Kang everything in detail.

Zhou Kang finished listening with a solemn expression, he raised his head and closed his eyes, and he spoke after a while: "Bo Ya and Da Shu, they are both good boys... There were no other little girls around at that time, so Zhou Die liked to be with them two very much. Let's play together." Tears flowed from his closed eyes, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden.

"By the way, let me show you something." Zhou Kang opened his eyes and brought dozens of postcards, all of which were sent by Boya and Dashu.The postmarks on it started more than ten years ago and have been in recent days.

A Meng didn't know about this at all.

Ah Meng asked: "My husband and the others, what are they hiding? What does this have to do with Zhou Die?"

Zhou Kang hesitated and said nothing.At this time the phone rang, and Ah Meng took advantage of Zhou Kang to answer the phone, flipping through the postcards one by one, each one was not long, but it would definitely mention Zhou Die's mother's illness.

When Zhou Kang came back after answering the phone, his expression relaxed a little, and he said, "Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be here. It was Boya who called and said he was coming soon." A Meng was taken aback and wanted to find a place to hide. Zhou Kang said: "He already knows you are here, Dashu's wife has told them everything."

After a while, Boya came, accompanied by Da Shu and his wife.

Zhou Kang joked with a smile, "Oh, it's all here."

Boya stared at him with a heavy face, and was about to say something, but Zhou Kang stopped him with a wave of his hand, and took them to burn incense on Zhou Die, and then sat down beside the Buddhist altar.

Boya knelt down in front of Zhou Kang and his wife, bowed his head deeply and said "I'm sorry", and then said to Ameng: "There is something I must confess to you. Zhou Die was killed by us."

Ah Meng held her breath, and Da Shu's wife also gasped.

Zhou Kang interrupted him: "Bo Ya, don't say that." But Boya's tone was firm: "No, you must let me speak."

Twenty years ago, after Zhou Die was killed by that perverted murderer, everything else was found out, but no one knew why Zhou Die appeared near the cemetery.

In fact, Boya, Dashu and Zhou Die were going to catch butterflies in the mountains that day. They had agreed to gather behind the cemetery at four o'clock the day before.

But the day was cloudy and it was going to rain, so Boya told Dashu to cancel the event.

They all thought that the other party would tell Zhou Die, so they didn't take it seriously.

As a result, Zhou Die didn't receive the notice, so he ran alone to wait for the two boys.

Teruhiko said and shed tears: "She waited since four o'clock, she must have been waiting for a long time, until four o'clock, five o'clock, until that man appeared... We killed her!"

"No, that's our parents' fault."

Zhou Kang said heavily, "It wasn't until dark that we found out that Zhou Die wasn't there, but we didn't take it seriously, thinking she was playing with someone. By the time everyone found out, she had already been killed. My wife was hit so badly because of self-blame, she is more self-blame than you..."

Dashu cried and said: "But we lied! Auntie asked us if we had seen Zhou Die, and we all said we hadn't seen it, and dared not tell about the broken appointment. If we had said earlier, Zhou Die might not have seen it. was killed... we are sorry to uncle and aunt!"

In order to make atonement, Boya and Dashu agreed not to have children in the future, because they took away the children of Zhou Kang and his wife, so they are not entitled to have their own children.

But Boya didn't expect that Ah Meng was so depressed that he committed suicide because he didn't have a child.He realized how stupid his agreement with Dashu was, and what they should do most was to apologize to Zhou Kang and his wife.

Zhou Kang said softly: "You don't need to apologize. Because Zhou Die has an appointment with you, we already knew about it."

Upon hearing this, several people stared at Zhou Kang in astonishment, unable to say a word.

Zhou Kang went on to say: "Zhou Die was a young adult, and she started to write a diary at that time. We found a diary when we sorted out the relics, but the murderer had already been arrested at that time. At this point, we did not publish her diary. Just kept it."

As he spoke, he took out an old book from the drawer next to the Buddhist altar, and flipped to the place where the last page was written, only to see that it was written in big characters: "Tomorrow and Xiaozhao, Xiaoxing Catching butterflies, four o'clock."

Boya took the notebook tremblingly, and murmured, "Yes, we made a mistake, 20 years ago."

Seeing that his face was pale and his eyes were bloodshot, Zhou Kang quickly patted him on the shoulder and said: "We never hated you, really. Every child will experience various things in childhood. Make an appointment with your friends Well, it turned out that I was the only one going there alone, this kind of thing happens to everyone, this is how children grow up slowly."

Seeing the two crying, Zhou Kang turned his head to look at Zhou Die's portrait, and smiled: "After 20 years, they finally came to you. You didn't wait in vain. That's great, Zhou Die."

Zhou Die's mother, who was sitting on the side, also imitated him, and said with a smile, "That's great, Zhou Die."

……

The white-haired old man, with his back to Qin Fan, coughed twice, "Okay, my story is over."

"You can express your impressions after listening to it."

Qin Fan froze for a moment, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"After hearing it...you remind me of my time in elementary school."

"Our Chinese teacher always likes to ask us to write about our impressions."

"Guess what I do every time?"

Judging from Qin Fan's tone, it was obvious that there was something in his words, and he didn't want to express any afterthoughts at all.

The white-haired old man smiled slightly and shrugged tremblingly.

"It looks like you don't intend to go out from here?"

"And, do you still want to die across from here?"

After finishing speaking, the white-haired old man stood up from the ground, moved his steps twice, and turned around.

And his face, at this moment, Qin Fan showed a shocked expression after seeing that face.

It turned out to be the old version of Qin Fan!

Qin Fan opened his mouth wide, his face full of disbelief, "You! Who are you?"

"Why do you look like me?"

The old man showed a trace of disdain, and looked at Qin Fan coldly: "Hehe, you shouldn't ask me this question, you should ask yourself why you came here!"
