Chapter 41

"Oh, so this is what your brother looks like! Is it fit?" Aoki said.

Summer just looked at him, ignored him and walked out of the elevator step by step.

Outside the elevator is the roof of the building. Gusts of wind roared past. The fog of the city stopped the flashing neon lights in the distance. Only the moon in the sky emitted a bright light from the clouds like the eyes of a young man peeking at a girl's bath.

When summer came to the edge of the roof, half of his face was ferocious and half showed relief like peace.

He saw a crow flying out of the fog downstairs, croaking and flying up the terrace, staring at him as if staring at a pile of rotting meat.

In summer, one foot stepped out, the body lost its balance and fell down.

A ferocious face broke away from his body and floated in mid air, emitting giggling Laughter:

"Brother, I caught you."

"Brother, you're dying."

"Brother, you will go to hell."

I feel my body falling in summer.

He saw that the light on the 32nd floor flashed, and the shadows of two people were printed on the curtain. A man and a woman were arguing.

The lights on the 31st floor were always on and the curtains were not closed. The woman lay in bed crying.

The woman on the 30th floor is in the living room, with music on the phonograph and a glass of red wine in her hand. She was drinking and dancing to the music. Her arms were open and her feet were walking slowly, as if she were embracing a person on the affectionate dance floor.

On the 29th floor, the woman's dance steps were messy. The red wine in her hand spilled out and onto the floor like a pool of red blood.

On the 28th floor, the woman was so crazy that she danced and fell to the ground with the wine cup in her hand. Before falling to the ground, the woman looked at the summer falling out of the window and showed a gentle smile at the corners of her mouth.

"Mom..." summer called softly.

On the 27th floor, the woman fell to the ground, closed her eyes tightly, and red liquid flowed from the corners of her mouth. I don't know whether it was red wine or blood.

"Mom..." summer wanted to call, but this floor soon passed.

The window on the 26th floor was tightly closed, and two figures were entangled in the window and twisted on the bed.

On the 25th floor, a pregnant woman was dressing up in front of the dressing table, and the man was gently pinching his shoulder for him. Behind the man, a pair of boy's jealous eyes appeared in the crack of the door. The man turned suddenly and closed the door heavily.

On the 24th floor, when the woman came down the stairs with a bulging stomach, she collided with the little boy who was hurrying upstairs. The woman covered her stomach and groaned. A white shadow flew out of the woman's stomach, across the living room, out of the window and to the side of the rapidly falling summer.

The white shadow turned into a pale face with distorted facial features and shouted angrily at summer: "you killed me!"

"Not me!" summer explained.

"Brother, brother, help me!" the voice of his face softened again.

In summer, he grabbed his face with his hands, but the falling speed of his face was much faster than him. He only touched the edge of his face and his face fell.

"Brother!" summer cried and turned to look for him, but he saw a big face with two thick eyebrows smiling at him.

He's falling, but the head of the chicken nest is flying. He rode on a huge crow, and the old gray windbreaker fluttered behind him, making a hunting sound.

"Would you like to ride a crow with me?" asked the chicken head.

Summer shook his head and said, "I'm dying."

"If you ride on my crow, you won't die."

Summer said, "I'm going to find my mother."

"Oh, so! But your mother is not down there."

"Where has my mother gone?"

"Your mother went to a far place. You can't find her until you grow up. If you die before you grow up, you'll never find her," said the chicken nest head.

Summer said, "is it true?"

The head of the chicken nest nodded hard, and his hair was a little funny by the high wind.

"But I'll pay for my brother's life," said summer.

"Why?"

"Because I killed him."

"But you just said you didn't."

"I just said I didn't mean it."

"How do you know it's your brother? You haven't seen him."

"My mother said."

"Didn't you find your mother?"

"It's my second mother. I don't want to call him mother, but I have to admit that he is my father's wife and my second mother."

"Oh, you met her upstairs, so you think you killed your brother?"

"That's what the second mother said. She also drew a picture of her brother. Every night before I went to bed, she showed me that it was my brother. I called Tiantian, and he called Haohao. I killed him, and he came to play with me every night."

"Didn't you tell your father?"

"He'll hit me."

"He often hits you?"

"Not before. He has often beaten me since my mother left."

"Even if Dad will hit you, you can tell..." the chicken nest head thought, "Grandpa and grandma, and aunt Hu Xing!"

"It's sister Xing." Xia corrected, "but I can't tell them! Second mother will prick my ass with a needle and let me eat mustard. If I tell others, my brother will be unhappy. When he is unhappy, he will become terrible!"

"Does she often prick your ass with a needle?"

"Well, every time I make her unhappy, she will do so. I dare not take a bath with my children. I think my ass must be ugly."

"That must hurt!"

"I'm not afraid of pain! I'm just afraid of my brother. He's too terrible!"

The wind is getting stronger and stronger. It seems that there are signs of rain. The smell of soil can be smelled in the air.

"It's about to fall to the end. If you don't ride up, you'll really fall to death." the man at the head of the chicken nest said, "you see, how fun it is to ride a crow!"

Summer seemed a little excited and hesitated to say, "but I won't die if I ride your crow. If I don't die, my brother will find me every night."

"What's the use of your death?"

"I killed my brother. He became a ghost. I'm very afraid. After I die, I'll become a ghost, so I won't be afraid of him." summer said, "when I become a ghost, I'll apologize to him, play with him, and be good friends with him."

"But don't you think you should tell someone you know before you die?" the chicken nest head encouraged, "there are so many people who love you!"

Summer thought for a while and said, "can you tell me goodbye to my grandfather and grandma Xia? You can also tell my third uncle and sister Xing. Forget the others. Anyway, you don't have to tell my father that he only likes my second mother and doesn't care about me at all."

The head of the chicken nest said, "when you ride up, you can see them right away. After you say goodbye in person, if you want to come back here, I'll fly you back! Moreover, my crow flies very fast, and your brother can't catch up!"

It fell two more floors and was about to reach the ground.

Summer said, "well, I'm going to ride a crow."

He turned over in the air. The head of the chicken nest grabbed his arm and pulled him onto the back of the crow.

The crow croaked and flew across the ground with its wings and rushed into the clouds high above.

The strong wind wrapped the summer, and everything turned into pieces. He couldn't open his eyes or even hear his voice.

Then he felt his body sink and the world came back. He heard the dogs barking outside the manor, the birds singing in the back mountain woods, and someone gently calling his name: "every day! Every day!"

He opened his eyes and saw the man with the head of the chicken nest squatting in front of him, holding his shoulders with both hands, embarrassed with thick eyebrows and smiling at himself.

Three women sat on the sofa next to her. Grandma Xia looked very serious, like the principal at the school meeting; Sister Xing's face was full of anger, as if someone had stolen her snacks; And his second mother looked restless, like eating a bad stomach.
