Chapter 251 - 251 Numb
251 Numb
In his previous life, he was used to seeing people die and corpses littered all over the place. Xue Yan didn’t care much about the lives and deaths of people he didn’t care about, but Xue Gouzi obviously needed to vent his anger to someone, so Xue Yan asked out of courtesy, “How did your mother get smashed to death by your brother’s stool?”
“It seemed that my mother wanted Chen Laoba to marry her.” Xue Gouzi was still crying and breathless when he spoke. “She even wanted to sell Xiaolian, so my aunt hit my mother like a madman. Then, my brother wanted to help my mother, so he wanted to hit my aunt. I don’t know how, but the stool hit my mother’s head instead, and my mother died on the spot…”
Without waiting for Xue Yan and Jiang Yue to ask, Xue Gouzi opened his mouth again, “My brother was sent to the police station. Because of this, I heard that my brother’s grandparents were so agitated that they passed away. The two of them couldn’t take the news of him going to jail.”
Xue Yan suddenly thought of his grandfather’s agitated death by Zhang Meili and Chen Zhuzi in his previous life, and his expression became a little dazed.
Jiang Yue noticed it and hesitated for a moment. She couldn’t help but pull on his sleeve a little. This one action made him come out of a certain emotion. Xue Yan was stunned for a moment, then looked at her gratefully.
Perhaps the memories of his past life were etched too deeply into his soul, sometimes he couldn’t help but immerse himself in the sadness and pain of losing a loved one.
“My father… My father said he divorced her… My mother is no longer my mother, no, I am not allowed to see her… But it seems that my aunt notified my grandmother, and no one on my grandmother’s side was willing to bury my mother… her… she… she’s all alone…”Xue Gouzi She cried even harder, “What’s the point of my mother’s life…why did she want to live like that… Now no one wants to bury her… My brother too… I must not become like them… What a hard life…”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t say anything.
Similar to Xue Yan, Jiang Yue didn’t care about the lives and deaths of the people she didn’t care about.
Her original world had turned into an apocalyptic world where zombies were rampant. People didn’t just die like that. They would become zombies after they died.
She had seen so many people die in the hands of zombies and then turn into zombies one after another. At first, she felt scared and horrified, but later, she became numb to the feeling of death.
The two of them just squatted there and listened to Xue Gouzi’s tearful complaints. He did not stop crying until the sun was about to set. He only stood up when it was time to go home to make dinner.
Xue Yan’s legs were numb from squatting, so he couldn’t stand up steadily. He only stood up after Jiang Yue helped him.
“I… I’m fine. You guys can go back.” Xue Gouzi stood at the entrance of his own courtyard. As usual, he lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.
“Then, Gouzi, we’ll be heading back now.” Xue Yan said.
Xue Yan only returned with Jiang Yue after getting a very soft bye from Xue Gouzi.
When he returned, he met many people in the village. Everyone was discussing this matter and saying all kinds of things.
