The waves came one after another and wet his feet, but he didn't feel it at all.
He half-closed his eyes and looked into the distance. His long eyelashes were slightly moist, as if they were covered with a faint black shadow, as dark as ink.
Lin Xinlan walked to him and sat down, hugging her legs with her arms, and followed him to look at the end of the water and sky.
Xiao Cong turned his head to look at her and met her smiling eyes.
"Mom, are you awake?"
"Well, I just woke up." After waking up, she heard Rong Shaoze telling her a lot of things. She also heard that he was sitting here alone, so she came to accompany him.
Xiao Cong didn't know what to say. He put his chin on his knees and lowered his eyes completely, looking a little lonely.
Lin Xinlan reached out and took him into her arms, but he didn't resist and put his head on her knees.
"Are you sad?" she asked him softly.
Xiao Cong nodded slightly, and his childish voice was a bit gloomy: "Uncle Zhou is very good to me, and I vowed to rescue him. But... I still failed to protect him..."
He is only seven years old and Zhou Xi is already in his early twenties. He actually said that he did not protect Zhou Xi well. This is weird no matter how you hear it.
"That's not your fault. You did your best."
Xiao Cong shook his head and buried his face in Lin Xinlan's knees, his voice was hoarse and slightly choked.
"It's my fault. If I hadn't insisted on saving Zhang Xu, Uncle Zhou wouldn't have followed... But Zhang Xu is a bad guy. He led us there so that Yuan Xi could kill us... Uncle Zhou also did it for
He rushed to the front to protect me. If I had rushed to the front, he would not have been killed..."
Lin Xinlan felt a little embarrassed for a while.
If he was killed, she probably wouldn't want to live anymore.
Fortunately, he was not the one who died.
But, does Zhou Xi deserve to die?
Nothing should happen to them.
"This is Zhang Xu and Yuan Xi's fault, not your fault. You shouldn't attribute all the bad guys' faults to yourself." Ruby Lin could only comfort him in this way.
Xiao Cong didn't speak.
He understood this truth, but he still couldn't feel relieved in his heart.
The moment Uncle Zhou fell in front of him, he was so sad and hated himself.
Zhang Xu was obviously a bad boy, he shouldn't have saved him.
In order to save him, Uncle Zhou was killed. It was all his fault!
Lin Xinlan knew that although this child had been learning kung fu for a while, he had also experienced a lot.
In fact, he is still very kind at heart.
Therefore, he simply could not let go of Zhou Xi's death.
"Where's Yuan Xi? Did you kill him?" Ruby Lin suddenly asked.
Xiao Cong clenched his fists and said angrily: "No... I shot him, he was hit by a bullet and couldn't move... I originally wanted to kill him, but... I couldn't do it..."
If Yuan Xi attacks him, he may take action to protect himself.
But Yuan Xi couldn't move his whole body and had no choice but to let him handle it. At that time, he couldn't do anything.
He doesn't bother to bully people who can't fight back.
"Where's Zhang Xu?"
"I gave him a good beating... everyone hated him, but... we still sent someone to send him home..."
Lin Xinlan couldn't help but smile with relief: "Son, you did the right thing. Although they are hateful, we cannot let our hands be stained with blood because of them, nor can our future lives be cast into a haze because of them.
