Zhuge Yun shook his head, "But the protagonist is not the third child."
"Although the third child also appeared in a few lines as an expert."
"oh."
Zhang Bo nodded and then became confused, "What happened to that story?"
Although he looks rough and rough, sometimes he is unexpectedly sharp.
He noticed that something was wrong with Zhuge Yun's mood.
"It's nothing."
Zhuge Yun smiled bitterly, "I just think that if this story is true, it would be too miserable for the sisters."
"The sisters?"
Zhang Bo became more and more confused, "Is the story you are telling about a pair of sisters?"
"You will know after seeing it."
Zhuge Yun reached for his schoolbag and said, "Wait a moment."
"I bought this issue of "Dream Story"."
"Give."
He handed the magazine to Zhang Bo, "You guys take a look."
...
"Lao San, you should know what I'm talking about, right?"
He looked at Xiao Xiao.
Sisters...?
Xiao Xiao nodded, "I know."
"That expert named Xiao is indeed you."
Zhuge Yun wasn't too surprised either.
He guessed it from the beginning.
The characters mentioned in the article are easily identifiable to those who are familiar with them.
However, he sighed.
Since Xiao Xiao knows this story, he can basically be sure.
"This story is true."
"I haven't read the article written by Su Xun."
He could not affirm or deny Zhuge Yun's conclusion.
"Oh, let's take a look first."
Zhuge Yun was not in a hurry.
After all, this is a story that has already happened,
For those who know it later, any emotion is too late.
"I think the general plot should be fine, right?"
"Maybe there are some changes in the details."
"But there's nothing to change, right?"
Zhuge Yun muttered, "Just the names of places and people have been slightly changed."
…
The room fell silent for a while.
The occasional sound of turning pages was particularly clear.
"Huh~"
Zhang Bo breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhao Luzheng, "Have you finished reading?"
A few seconds later, Zhao Luzheng nodded, straightened his body, and said, "I've finished reading."
"Lao San, here you go."
Zhang Bo handed the magazine to Xiao Xiao who was aside.
Xiao Xiao took it and read it.
He saw it quickly, after all, it was something he had personally experienced.
Su Xun indeed recorded the experience in writing.
What he was thinking... Xiao Xiao was probably somewhat clear.
…
"Lao San, is everything Su Xun wrote true?"
Zhuge Yun asked.
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
"all?"
Zhang Bo confirmed,
"all."
Xiao Xiao is sure.
"Ah."
Zhang Bo smacked his lips, "Then this kid named Dangdang..."
"It's too pitiful."
Zhao Luzheng finished what Zhang Bo had left unfinished.
"Yes, she died without letting anyone know that she was innocent."
Zhuge Yun frowned, "Many people in her family and village thought she had harmed her sister, and in the end she followed in her sister's footsteps."
"She died, but no one cared."
…
"Why doesn't anyone care?"
Xiao Xiao's words did not make Zhuge Yun's expression relaxed at all, "You know who I am referring to."
"I'm referring to the child's family and the villagers who watched her grow up."
"It's the ones who know girls."
"So Su Xun wrote this story."
Zhuge Yun, Zhang Bo, and Zhao Luzheng were all stunned by Xiao Xiao's somewhat unclear words.
But soon, thoughtful looks appeared on their faces.
"You mean..."
Zhuge Yun murmured in a low voice.
"Su Xun didn't hide much in his narration of this incident."
As an insider, Xiao Xiao can say that this article is almost a documentary, "the place names are just pinyin abbreviations."
"Anyone who knows Dangdang should be able to tell that the protagonist of this story is the Dangdang they know."
"It's also a story they know a little bit about."
"but-"
Seeing the light gradually shining through the eyes of Zhuge Yun and others, Xiao Xiao poured a basin of cold water down, "In the eyes of more people, Su Xun just created an imaginary story inspired by Dangdang's experience."
"They don't think that's the truth."
"……Too."
Zhuge Yun sighed.
If he didn't know that monsters really existed, he would have thought this was just a story from his imagination.
It's just borrowing material from reality.
"It's really unpleasant."
Zhang Bo curled his lips.
"Then...can Dangdang just have to carry this unfounded charge all the time?"
Zhao Luzheng picked up the water glass and drank a large amount of water.
There was still some tightness in my chest.
The child sacrificed her life to avenge her sister, and in the end, in the eyes of those she cared about, she was the murderer who killed her sister.
This is really a big joke.
He curled his lips, but found that this was not funny at all.
…
"But-"
Xiao Xiao smiled, "After all, many people have read this story."
"Even if there are very few, there may not even be any in a short period of time, but as time goes by, there may always be one or two people who believe that this is the truth of the matter."
"Other people who don't know the situation will know what Dangdang went through after watching it."
"What kind of injustice have you suffered again?"
"Maybe they'll think it's a story."
"But the sympathy and love they felt for Dangdang when they read these words was real."
"There are so many people complaining about Dangdang's injustice and remembering the unfair treatment Dangdang received..."
"I think...these kindnesses will be felt."
"Even if some people don't understand her and misunderstand her, there will be more people who believe in her and wish her well."
"She won't be the murderer everyone calls her."
…
Zhang Bo and others looked at each other, and smiles slowly appeared on their faces.
"Ah, my mood is finally much clearer."
Zhuge Yun stretched his waist and said, "I was so depressed about Dangdang's experience yesterday that I didn't even think about Su Xun's purpose of publishing this article."
"Sure enough, you have eaten rice for several more years than me, and your mind works faster."
“The villagers don’t believe in Dangdang, but we readers believe in Dangdang.”
"Maybe after waiting for a long time, this is the truth."
"This is what it is."
Zhao Luzheng corrected Zhuge Yun's statement.
The facts that the villagers thought they knew were their "quotes out of context."
"Yes, that's true."
Zhuge Yun grinned.
...
"I hope those two children can be reborn in a family that does not favor boys over girls in their next lives."
Zhang Bo expressed his feelings.
If the little girl's parents had fulfilled their parental duties, he thought, the little girl might not have died.
