Suddenly awakened by palpitations in sleep, and overwhelmed by panic and fear for no reason. Si Nan didn't know what this feeling was, but he wanted to go home.
Si Nan said goodbye to his friends and returned to his hometown. What was waiting for him were his elderly parents, his married third brother and his sister-in-law.
There was no eldest brother.
His parents were happy that Si Nan had returned home, Si Bei also had a smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes. Third sister-in-law who married into the family gently stroked her bulging belly, held the account book of the cloth factory tightly, and asked Si Nan to go out for a walk or go to the nearby area, without mentioning the cloth factory at all.
Si Nan didn't really care about these, he had no intention of seizing power. He just wanted to go home, take a look at his parents and third brother, and also take a look at Si Zhao who he has always been thinking about.
But there was no such person at home.
Si Zhao's photo was put away, Si Zhao's room was used to store miscellaneous items, even the servants in the house called Si Bei second young master, and him, eldest young master. This gave Si Nan an illusion, as if Si Zhao was just a dream, and this person had never existed from beginning to end.
No, he existed.
Even if Si Nan forgot who he was, he would never forget Si Zhao. This person was like being branded in his soul, unforgettable.
When he mentioned Si Zhao, the smile on the face of the third brother's wife suddenly twisted, and his parents turned their heads away in silence. Si Bei pondered for a moment and told Si Nan that Si Zhao was not the biological child of the Si family.
He was an adopted child.
Raising him was just the kindness of his parents.
After hearing this fact, Si Nan was filled with infinite joy, but the next second, after hearing Si Bei say that Si Zhao had left and disappeared, the joy was replaced by astonishment, his heart was empty.
Si Nan wanted to go to Si Zhao, but was naturally stopped by his parents. It was a rare opportunity to go home, so why couldn't he stay at home for a few more days?
Si Nan was three years older than Si Bei. Now that his younger brother had started a family, the 26-year-old big brother should have considered his own lifelong affairs. Si Nan refused without a care, and came out on the spot, telling his parents the truth about leaving home that year, and that he wanted to marry Si Zhao this time.
His father was so angry that he cursed, his mother cried and claimed that she should not have adopted him that year and should have driven him away long ago. Si Bei was shocked, but in Si Nan's opinion, the weirdest thing was his younger brother's wife. She screamed, as if she heard something very scary and went back to the room frantically, almost falling down.
Their attitudes were all very strange. Si Nan gradually had a bad premonition.
Did Si Zhao really leave home voluntarily ma?
It was not strange for Si Zhao to leave home knowing that he was not his biological son. This was in line with Si Zhao's character, but the attitude of his family gradually made Si Nan doubt it.
They were trying desperately to erase Si Zhao's existence.
Si Nan did not mention leaving again, but quietly looked for clues, wanting to know what happened to the Si family after he left, and where Si Zhao went.
His parents were also not idle. While Si Nan was at home, they quietly looked for suitable marriage partners for Si Nan, from girls from rich families to girls from poor and scholarly families. Then, after Si Nan said that he liked men, such girls could not be found.
His parents were furious and bought a girl directly.
On the day they bought the girl, Si Nan learned from a craftsman in the cloth factory that Si Zhao was kidnapped and sent to a small island in the South China Sea. The reason was that he was not their biological son and were worried he would steal their property.
The craftsman complained that he was an old employee of the Si family. When the Si family cloth shop was handed over to Si Zhao, it only opened a store in the town and had only a dozen workers. In the past ten years, under Si Zhao's management, the cloth shop has grown to be the number one in the city, with several branches and hundreds of employees. If such a person really wanted to seize the property, the Si family cloth shop would have changed its owner long ago, so how could Si Bei come to make decisions? The newly appointed housekeeper is the daughter of an underground bank. She may have some ability to manage money, but is business and money management really the same thing? She doesn't even know what materials are used for dyeing cloth. The dyeing and weaving cloth is a mess, so she can only work hard on the books, hold back the cost and wages of a few cents.
Even if he was adopted, so what? Anyone with eyes knows that Si Zhao never has second thoughts. So what if he owes a favor for raising him? He has made so many contributions to the Si family. Isn't that a favor that he hasn't repaid yet? Why use a life to fill it ne?
If Si Zhao leaves, the Si family will collapse. The old employees only hope that Si Nan can have some skills so that they will not be left without work and food in the future.
Si Nan couldn't hear anything anymore. All he could think of was the words 'Why use a life to fill it'.
"What does that mean?" Si Nan asked hurriedly.
The old employee waved his hand and sighed, "Can throwing someone on an overseas island still be considered a vacation ma?"
It sounds good to say, send him away from a distance. But in reality... no one dared to stop, and they couldn't stop. Everyone could only watch Si Zhao being sent away from a distance.
During this period of time, whenever Si Nan asked to leave, his father would get angry, and his mother would hold her chest and say she felt uncomfortable. Si Nan's words to leave had never been fulfilled, otherwise she would point at him and say he was unfilial. Now, even if he was unfilial, he couldn't care less. His parents were old but in good health, but Si Zhao, on the other hand, didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
After seeing the naked girl lying on his bed, Si Nan's anger completely erupted. He made a scene at home, took away the things he brought from overseas, and left home.
Next, it was a long and difficult journey to find someone.
He asked all the way from home about the news, came to the seaside port, bought a small boat, and plunged into the vast sea alone.
Hard work pays off, he finally found the island.
He easily found Si Zhao's location, how could he not find it ne, such a big monument.
Si Zhao's tomb, the tombstone was carved by Si Bei.
Si Nan picked up a stone on the ground and smashed it hard, the tombstone was broken in half, the corners were broken and incomplete.
Now is not the time to lose temper with the tombstone. Si Nan did not expect this situation. He did not bring a shovel, so he could only dig with his own hands, even if the skin on his fingertips was broken and bleeding, he did not care.
Dig, dig as soon as possible, brother is waiting for him.
Waiting... No, not waiting, it's been too long, no one can wait so long.
What was dug out was a skeleton, with little flesh and blood left.
There was a hemp rope wrapped around his body, the person was tied and thrown in, buried alive.
Si Nan cried bitterly while holding the skeleton.
He shouldn't have left, or if he had come back earlier, he would never have let this happen.
Why did it become like this ne?
Even if they were not biological brothers, how could he do such a thing?
Why? Why? What did Si Zhao do wrong?
Si Nan cried while holding the skeleton and fell asleep, and had a dream.
In the dream, Si Zhao inadvertently expressed his feelings, Si Bei used him, and Miss Qian, the daughter of underground bank, was jealous and resentful. Miss Qian told his parents about this, father was furious, and mother claimed that the Si family should not raise such an ungrateful child. Then they unanimously decided to send him away.
Miss Qian wanted to never see Si Zhao again in this life, so she had to send him to a place she would never set foot in this life, such as overseas.
Si Bei said there were many small islands overseas. His parents waved their hands and let them make their own decisions.
Si Bei carved a stele, and Miss Qian went to find someone. She tied up Si Zhao, who was about to leave a letter, and sent him to an overseas island by boat.
The boatman who kidnapped people to the island dragged Si Zhao, who was already awake, like dragging a dead dog, from the beach to the jungle, then dug a pit to bury him.
"Don't blame me, this is Miss Qian's order." The boatman said, "I will get two taels of silver if I bury you."
Si Zhao looked at the sky silently. This was his last look at the blue sky.
He worked hard for the Si family and earned more than 10,000 taels of silver. Now burying him alive only cost two taels of silver.
"Miss Qian asked me to tell you that people like you are disgusting when they are alive, so it's better to die." When burying the soil, the boatman said to Si Zhao, "Si Bei thinks so too."
This was the last sentence Si Zhao heard before he died.
Something hot rolled down his eyes, mixed with mud, and a bitter taste.
Si Zhao, who had silently accepted his fate, finally couldn't help crying out loud. His grief made even the boatman sigh, but he still buried the soil.
The heavy soil covered the sky, blocked breathing, and completely destroyed a person's life.
Si Nan woke up from the nightmare, full of resentment.
Si Zhao died, murdered by the Si family, then people of the Si family took everything Si Zhao earned as a matter of course.
Why did that woman have the nerve to say that Si Zhao was disgusting? At least 80% of the clothes and silk she was wearing were earned by Si Zhao's hard work every day, the house she lived in was also bought by Si Zhao after he took over the cloth factory and expanded his business.
Why did Si Zhao die, not the ruthless Si Bei? Nor the stupid woman who was arrogant and self-righteous?
Unfair.
[You think it's unfair, right?]
A strange voice sounded in his ears.
[Do you want him to be resurrected ma? Do you want revenge ma? I can help you.]
The voice came from his own package, and after opening it, he saw a strange bottle. Si Nan remembered that this was a strange gift given to him by a foreign friend.
"There is a devil living in here, only the deepest resentment can awaken it." These are the original words of the friend.
"It is best not to make a deal with the devil, the price you can't afford." At the same time, the friend also advised this.
Price? Is there still any price he can't afford ma?
There is nothing left to lose. If he can use everything he has left to save the most important one, it is worth it.
He wants to revive Si Zhao.
In order to accompany Si Zhao forever, Si Nan killed himself. Because of his strong willpower, Si Nan suppressed the devil and became the master of the devil. Si Zhao's soul fragments were missing after more than two years of death. In order to make up for this, Si Nan used the devil as nutrients, finally caused Si Zhao and the devil to merge into one.
Si Zhao forgot most of his memories, he couldn't even remember who he was. He only remembered that the person he liked had the surname Si and the general appearance. His personality didn't change much, but he always hoped that he was a woman and loved to wear women's clothes. The devil's name was
Lady Maud didn't reconize Si Nan.
For this reason, Si Nan changed his appearance. He and Si Bei were brothers, a little change would make them look very similar, enough to fool Si Zhao.
But he didn't want to use the name Si Bei.
From then on, he was not Si Bei, nor was he Si Nan, but just Mr. Si.
He didn't care who Si Zhao was thinking of when he kissed him, or who he loved, as long as this person was in front of him and looking at him, it was enough.
After experiencing loss, he was overjoyed to get a little gift now. Just like a humble servant, he bowed his head and begged his master for even a little mercy.
Si Nan thought that he was guilty of running away and letting his family kill Si Zhao.
The devil recognized Si Nan as his master, and Si Nan regarded Si Zhao as his master. Si Zhao and the devil merged into one. This is another strange cycle.
Si Zhao's soul state was unstable, the devil said he needed a sacrifice. Si Nan left the island and went to the mainland, sent a letter to his family to inform them of the fact that Si Zhao was dead. Then he received a hypocritical reply from his younger brother.
Si Nan put the letter away carefully. This would be his last communication with his brother. From now on, he had no brother, only enemies.
His brother, who was connected by blood, would get more energy as a sacrifice.
He cursed not only Si Bei, but also the children born by Si Bei and that woman, and even generations.
Si Bei got married and had children at the age of 23, his descendants would also get married at the age of 23.
Si Zhao died at the age of 30, suffering from torture. Si Bei and his descendants would all die from torture at the age of 30.
Si Nan was so grieved he wished he was dead, Si Bei's wife Miss Qian and every wife of their descendants would die from the pain of losing their loved ones.
Si Nan would not let Si Bei's bloodline be cut off. On the contrary, no matter how the times changed, the war broke out, and how difficult it became to survive, their descendants had always been single-line, from generation to generation, but they were cursed from generation to generation.
That was the perfect food that Si Nan raised specifically for Si Zhao.
The author has something to say:
Are people scarier or ghosts scarier?
Since humans contributed in the creation of ghosts, so humans are scarier after all?
