「It may be time to end now.

Don't blame me, I also do it for my own good.

Besides, since you abandoned me, you are destined to lose me.

I just want to protect myself, no one can stop me.」

“Alex looked at the memories of living here, including the mottled walls and the beds that were gradually falling off. 

He closed his eyes, turned and walked out of the house.”

「What, finally willing to leave.」

“Libby waited for Alex for more than three and a half hours.

 I have to say that the time is really too slow, and it is a bit boring for a long time, and even wants to sleep. ”

「Of course, the answer is already in my mind.」

“Alex just wanted to take another look. 

After all, this is the place where he used to live. 

Although it is a bit cruel, he has to do it. 

If he doesn't do much, he can't move on. 

He can't look back anymore.”  

「That's right, you have to believe your choice.」

“Libby certainly hopes that this man can be as far away as possible from this village, otherwise the transaction between them cannot continue, so that he can no longer attract more helpless souls. ”

“Soon after Alex walked out of the house, smoke began to erupt inside the house, and even burned, with a strong burning smell in the air.

He began to walk, getting further and further away from the house, until he left the village, and finally stopped, watching the gray smoke gradually drifting into the air, and there was a thick black fog in the sky, which could not dissipate.”

「 What did you just do.

I didn't even see you with a lighter on your body.」

“Libby was also confused. 

After all, he might not care about Alex's every move so much, so naturally he would not know these things. ”  

「 Of course, you usually either eat or sleep, and what else you do, even if I carry something with me, you probably won't remember.」

“When Alex said this, he had to complain, because the demon's behavior was no different from ordinary people's life.”  

「It turned out that the problem was with me.

 It seemed that I usually didn't care too much.」

“Libby thinks about it carefully, it is really like this, his usual life is like this, either eating his favorite pasta or just doing nothing and spending the day in bed. ”

「 If all these villagers are killed as you said, then when will I kill them?

Besides, this will not only attract the attention of the police, but also hurt my plan to open a restaurant.

In my opinion, setting fire is the safest way.」

“Alex thinks that his approach is the smartest, although it will still attract people's attention, but at least it will not arouse suspicion.”

「 You bet.

Maybe I didn't think carefully enough.

Then we can now.」

“No matter what Libby thought, he still thought it would be better to solve it with a knife. 

Why bother so much effort, but this man is not an obedient man. ”

「 Go away, wait a minute.

I want to wait a little longer.」

“Alex is very strange, obviously everything is resolved, but he just won't leave, and he doesn't know what he is waiting for.”

「Again.」

“Libby originally wanted to say that he could finally leave this small, remote place, but this man has nothing to say and doesn't know what he wants to do. ”

「Otherwise, how could I trade with you, most people don't want to trade with the devil.

Unless it is a person with a lot of desire.」

“When Alex finished speaking, the expression on his face was very oozing, oozing and making people hairy.”

「 It's better to listen to me, you should be more cautious and treat them directly...」

“What Libby said is not unreasonable. 

After all, people who know the secret usually don't live long, especially those closest to him. ”

   

「Kill, I know.

But this will not be too cruel.

I know you are for my good.

However, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not attract the attention of the police.」

“Alex also had his own considerations.

 Of course, he couldn't be fooled by the devil casually, otherwise it would only be himself who would eventually decline.”

   

「Then what do you want to do, you say.

How do you make these people shut up.」

“Libby thought this man would be easy to master, but it seemed that he was wrong. 

This man was so unfathomable, so strange that even he himself was a little scared. ”

   

「What do you say.

Of course it is its own way.

I already thought about it.」

“Alex is still selling off, he will never say until the last moment, otherwise the surprise would be meaningless.”

「 Then I am looking forward to it.

Do not let me down.」

“Libby was relieved when he heard of Alex's return.

 Although he was really curious about what method Alex would use, even if he asked, the man probably wouldn't say it. ”  

「 I am just reminiscing here.

Anyway, after a while, it will be nothing.

I really don't understand what you are nervous about.

I will definitely not betray the deal between us, otherwise it will come at a price.」

“Of course Alex knew what kind of trade he made, and how could he give up this hard-won opportunity.

 After all, giving up would mean that he would pay a heavy price.”

「 Of course, I knew I didn't choose the wrong person.

You are indeed trustworthy.」

“Libby seemed to panic for a moment, he was surprised by Alex's thoughts, after all, this man sometimes made it easy for people to see his heart. ” 

「Close your mouth when you know it.

At least ten minutes of silence is good.」

“Alex can't bear Libby's excessive words, he is finally willing to stop Libby loudly, otherwise he will go crazy too.”

「 Ok .」

“Libby was silent automatically, although it was uncomfortable, but who told this man to be quiet and alone now, he can only be obedient. ”

「Of course, you take your time and don't bother you.」

“A Zhi immediately understood what he meant. 

He left the scene very acquaintedly. 

After all, he had been away for so long and he always needed some time to adapt.”

“Before he waited for anyone to leave, Alex was immersed in a sad atmosphere again.

 He was playing a one-man show again, and he didn't know how long he would be willing to act.

Anyway, he was stroking his forehead and covering his mouth.

This time he even shed tears.

 He didn't know if he was too involved or really sad. ”

「Enough, how long do you have to act.

Wasn't it enough in the cemetery just now?

Everyone is gone, it's time to come back.」

“Libby couldn't stand this situation for too long.

 After all, it was too heavy and it was not good. 

It would be very depressive and even suffocated.”

   

「 What do you know, I am doing this for everyone's good.

I know what I am doing.」

“Alex just doesn't want to show his nature in front of the villagers. 

What's wrong with this, he is just playing the good boy in front of these villagers. ”

「It's up to you, anyway, get things done as soon as possible and go back.

I am sleepy and want to sleep.」

“Libby had been here for a long time, and he was tired of it. 

Besides, there was no scenery to see. 

It couldn't stand it.”

「You wait a minute, it will be fine soon.

I want to look at here again.」

“Alex walked into the house unknowingly, and the moment he stepped in, he smelled the scent of wood.

 Although many years have passed, the wood obviously has no smell of decay. ”

 “The room is still the same.

 Just like before, when cooking, the stove was built with bricks and a pot was placed on it. 

As long as the fire needs to be raised when cooking, you have to squat down and blow with a long pipe.

Obviously, there is no change here, even the walls are still covered with hats and even robes.

 This is the way people lived before.”

   

“But obviously Alex doesn't like this place. 

Although the people here know how to get enough and live a comfortable life, Alex was not satisfied when he was a child.

He is always clamoring about going outside and looking forward to it day after day.

 He still hasn't changed this idea. ”

「Alex, have you figured it out.

Is to abandon the past, or choose to abandon your dream of getting rich.

Choose one yourself.」

“Libby is basically pressing Alex. 

If you want to choose, you can only choose one.

 People can't be too greedy. 

You need both. 

If you choose one, you will inevitably lose the other. 

This is common sense.”

「I don't know.

To be honest, I haven't figured it out yet.

Let me think again.」

“Although Alex already had the answer in his mind, he didn't want to say it.

 Obviously he was still hesitating at the moment, or he thought Libby was too annoying. ”

「 If you think about it, since you have come back, you must decide quickly.

Your handle is in their hands, and these villagers will only harm you in the end.」

“Libby's words became more and more excessive, because it worried that Alex would be caught in these trivial things, but it was obviously thinking too much.”

「You think too much, I am not the kind of person who will be moved by these villagers.

I'm very selfish, otherwise why would I leave here in the first place.」

“What Alex said was true, because he came here only to solve the problem, otherwise he didn't want to come back. ”

「 喂，不是說了走廊上不能奔跑。

你們這些孩子。」

後頭老師的嗓門聲實在是大的可以，其中還夾雜著氣憤聲，他在後頭是跑的氣喘吁吁，卻怎麼追也追不上。

「快跑，不然要被抓到了。」

福明倒是很開心，比在學校上課都還要開心，反正他本來就不喜歡讀書，要不是因為阿母的緣故。

    

「真受不了你，每次都被老師罵，你都不會覺得煩。

要我說你就應該在下次的考試上考個高分。」

阿正是優等生，當然會這麼說，畢竟他每次都是班上的第二名，很少會有退步的機會，根本就不需要太擔心。

「你懂什麼，那書我又看不懂，再說就算讀好書又如何，也不知道以後會不會再上高中，這還是個問題。」

說到這個，福明就覺得很煩，因為如果他上學，阿母就得一直幫別人洗衣服，甚至是做手工藝。    

「你是擔心錢的問題。

那不然這樣，我幫你補課。

我們兩個以後一起去國外留學，還可以申請獎學金，反正國內的教育制度應該也不適合你。」

阿正倒是對福明很好，他是設身處地的站在福明的角度著想，也是真心的希望福明過的好。

「是嗎，可是我很難教的。

你可能要從國文開始，因為我也不識字。」

福明當然是高興的很，因為他們村莊的人很少會有人識字的，大家都嘛是在田地裡面做事。  

「那有什麼問題，我很有耐心的。

等我們以後畢業了，你肯定就能把小學的課程學會 。

到時候我們就去美國如何，那裡的資源最豐富。」

阿正也是這麼想的，反正有個人陪怎麼不好，如果在人生地不熟的地方，也比一個人還要好。

「好，我們約好了。

你可不能爽約。」

福明甚至還與阿正勾勾手指頭蓋印章，就是為了突顯這個約定的重要，雖然多年以後看來是很可笑沒錯。

        

“They used to be so carefree, but everything changed, just after Alex left.”

「Alex, come back, what is your head thinking.

It's already here, don't wake up soon.」

“Libby seemed a little angry at the end, after all, this man has been a little strange since returning home, always absent-minded.”

「Okay, here it is.」

“Alex is obviously still a bit dumb, he seems to have not fully awakened yet, and his spirit has always stayed where he was. "

「This is your home.

 You can see that it hasn't changed, and things haven't even moved.」

“A straight walked for a long time before seeing Fuming's house.

 It was obviously a tiled house made of bricks.

 Although it was a bit old, it was still very strong.”   

「Of course, nothing has changed.

Sir, I hope you can give me some time to leave.」

“What Alex meant was obviously that he hoped that there would be no outsiders present.

 After all, he didn't know the villagers very well, so it's better not to have too many intersections.   ”
