274: use me
Xie Yuxing also looked at Tang Wan with the same eyes, "Do you want to mention his name?"
Tang Wan was stunned for a moment, "What?"
"Are you willing to tell me his name, or do you feel guilty for wanting to take advantage of me and decide to tell me a secret that will make me feel a lot better?"
Xie Yuxing was not stupid. He calmed down after being happy and saw the difference in Tang Wan. She became proactive in catering to him.
"I'm sorry." Tang Wan stood up and took a deep breath, "Senior, I'm sorry..."
"Elementary school girl, you don't have to say sorry to me, and you don't have to feel like you're taking advantage of me."
Xie Yuxing stood next to Tang Wan, "You will not take back what you said to me last time, and I will also not take back what I said."
Xie Yuxing has long said that he likes Tang Wan and being nice to her is one thing. Her liking and response are not factors that affect him.
"Can I ask why?"
Tang Wan suddenly looked at Xie Yuxing seriously, "Senior, have we known each other before?"
Tang Wan's heart was in confusion. She turned the red rope in her hand with inertia. Xie Yuxing's eyes also fell on the rope on her wrist. He slowly took out a black velvet bag from his pocket, opened it, and he
I took out a red rope from the bag.
There is also a coin on the red rope.
It is exactly the same as the rope on Tang Wan's hand, except that the rope on Tang Wan's hand often gets wet and is very old, while the red rope lying on his palm is still more colorful...
Tang Wan was stunned, "Why...this..." She quickly reached out to pick up the red string and rubbed the coin with her fingers. She recognized that it was the one she polished for her friend. She was weak.
, it was very difficult to drill the hole, and there were quite a few scratches on the edge of the round hole.
"Senior, you are..." Tang Wan suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Xie Yuxing intently, but felt that it was impossible, "No, you can't be him..."
"Yes, I'm not him."
Xie Yuxing nodded and admitted, "I am his brother."
"What?" Tang Wan felt incredible, "How come you... aren't you the young master of the Xie family?"
Tang Wan felt that the impact of this information was too great. She felt dizzy and sat on a chair. "Qiao Yuan and I met in the countryside."
That's right, the friend Tang Wan has always remembered is Qiao Yuan.
Qiao Yuan lived in Feng Feng Mountain on the edge of Xixiang. His grandfather who raised him since he was a child was a barefoot doctor in Feng Feng Mountain. Tang Wan once went to see Xu Muzi and fainted in the mountains, but Qiao Yuan picked him up.
Xie Yuxing said that he is Qiao Yuan's brother, which is impossible.
Tang Wan and Qiao Yuan knew each other. Until his death, and finally the death of the doctor grandfather, Tang Wan had neither heard of nor seen Xie Yuxing, or anyone named Xie.
The Xie family has been a prosperous family for hundreds of years. How could Xie Yuxing and his brother appear in that place where they were so poor that they had to walk several miles of mountain roads to carry water back?
"I know, I was still there that day when you fainted."
Xie Yuxing sat down next to Tang Wan and spoke slowly.
The story is very long, but Xie Yuxing kept it short and concise.
After listening, Tang Wan could not move for a long time. She was shocked, moved, and sad.
After a long time, he spoke and looked at Xie Yuxing steadily, "You mean, on the day you brought me home, someone from the Xie family came to pick you up?"
Xie Yuxing nodded, "Speaking of which, my fate and yours are somewhat similar."
"It's different. You are the Xie family's biological child. They just took you back."
In Xie Yuxing's story, he was lost when he was a child. Because he was too crying and naughty, the man who took him away was left to die on the road. When he was about to die of illness, he met Qiao Yuan's grandfather.
Qiao Yuan's grandfather took him back, and during those years, Xie Yuxing lived and ate with Qiao Yuan. When he was about to forget about city life and the Xie family, the Xie family came to visit.
The Xie family finally found their lost child and found out that the person who defrauded him was a business partner. The business partner insisted that he had sold Xie Yuxing to the old man. The Xie family hated the old man and took Xie Yuxing away.
The Queen of Stars never asked him to go back and watch it.
Later, when Xie Yuxing had the ability, he found it on his own in Gaofeng Mountain, but by the time he found it, everything had changed.
Qiao Yuan passed away.
Grandpa also passed away.
The small mud house they used to live in has collapsed and only the foundation is left.
The only thing that remains is Qiao Yuan's "treasure box".
Qiao Yuan hid it in their "secret base", a cave.
Xie Yuxing saw the red rope in the box, the photos of Xiao Tang Wan and Xiao Qiao Yuan, and the diary written by Qiao Yuan. He wrote in the diary every day until the day of the accident.
Tang Wan will be written about in every entry in his diary.
What did I do with my little friend Tang Wan today?
The weather was bad today and I didn't go down the mountain to see Tang Wan. I miss her very much and hope she misses me too, but I'm worried that she has to do too much housework and won't have time to miss me.
…
Children speak without restraint.
Everything in a child's head is pure and beautiful.
Xie Yuxing got to know Tang Wan through Qiao Yuan's diary, remembered Tang Wan, and was grateful to Tang Wan.
"I was not young when I was found by the Xie family. I misremembered the name of the village and my grandfather's name, which caused me to search for several more years before I found it..." Every time he thought of this, Xie Yuxing felt regretful and confused.
Guilt.
Qiao Yuan drowned when he was ten years old. In order to save a little girl who fell into the reservoir, he jumped in without hesitation and never got up again.
Grandpa passed away in the winter of the same year.
Xie Yuxing learned all this through inquiries.
Maybe the person was really going to die, and he had feelings and omens about it. A few days before Qiao Yuan's death, what he wrote most in his diary was that he was worried about Tang Wan's safety.
——I overheard some words today that I shouldn’t have heard. I’m worried that Witch Xu will be bad to Xiao Wan. She has already been very bad to Xiao Wan. If what she said is true, then she will definitely not treat Xiao Wan sincerely.
Very good.
I have to find a way to make Xiaowan live a better life.
——Xiao Wan didn’t come to see me again today. I went to her house and heard Witch Xu scolding her. Tai Yao was disgusted. I must take Xiao Wan away.
Save money, and it will be fine when I save enough money. Grandpa said that herbal medicines are easy to sell this year, and there are a lot of them at the reservoir, so I go digging for herbs to sell after school every day.
…
Qiao Yuan is very smart and has good academic performance. He can write well with pencil at the age of ten.
Xie Yuxing read his diary over and over again with mixed feelings.
It was precisely because of this diary that he paid attention to Tang Wan, the unpopular illegitimate daughter of the Shen family.
"Qiao Yuan and grandpa's funerals were well organized. The villagers all remembered grandpa's kindness."
Tang Wan looked at Xie Yuxing, knowing what Xie Yuxing knew, she felt a little more relieved.
