Looking at the dark barrel of the gun pointed at me from the other end of the haystack, along with the filthy and tall figure, both my cousin and I were clearly stunned.

"Silly, silly kid?"

I immediately recognized who it was with just one glance. This voice has appeared countless times even in my dreams.

He appeared so abruptly that I didn't know whether to feel happy or scared.

"Can I join too? I'm tired of playing hide-and-seek, I want to shoot too." The silly kid's hand holding the gun trembled, and my heart trembled along with it.

"Don't move!" the silly kid said sternly.

"Alright, we won't move. Silly kid, were you playing hide-and-seek with someone before?" I asked.

"I don't know him either. He told me to hide well, so I hid in this haystack. Later, he couldn't find me for a long time, so I came out."

At this moment, I noticed the torn part of his pants on his leg, and his right leg bent unnaturally. "Did someone hit you?"

"Someone hit me, so I ran away and went to the water to wash up. Then I heard gunshots and got scared, so I ran again."

Upon hearing this, I understood. The shot that hit the silly kid's leg was fired by Xiao Qiang, and the shot that followed was fired by myself.

"We were all looking for you. Didn't you hear us?"

"I heard, it was fun. That person appeared again and wanted to continue playing hide-and-seek with me, so I hid again."

"Do you remember what that person looked like?" I asked.

"I can't remember."

"Think carefully."

"I really can't remember, my head hurts." The silly kid's gun fell from his hand, and he covered his head with both hands.

I signaled to my cousin with my eyes.

My cousin immediately understood and took a step forward.

Continuing, I asked, "Alright, I won't ask anymore. Then, take a look and see if the person in front of you is the one."

After speaking, I pointed at my cousin.

The silly kid raised his head and said, "It's him."

Instantly, I felt a chill run down my spine.

"No, it's not him. I've seen him before."

"When?"

"I don't remember. He, along with another person, were by the water, and then they started fighting. I don't know how, but the other person fell into the water."

I stared at my cousin and said, "You said it wasn't you."

"It really wasn't me. I didn't do it on purpose. Xiao Qiang threatened me. He said he saw us shooting and killing someone, and I thought he came to verify if you were the one who shot and killed someone. He also said he would report it. Then we started fighting, and he accidentally fell down himself. I didn't push him. He retreated on his own. I can't swim, and I was scared."

I was so angry that I couldn't even speak.

By this time, my cousin had already moved next to the silly kid, grabbing one end of the gun. The silly kid exclaimed, "My gun!"

Each of us held onto one end, and without thinking much, I hurriedly ran forward and grabbed the gun.

The three of us wrestled with each other.

However, life is truly full of surprises.

With a loud "bang," the silly kid fell to the ground.

Looking at my hand on the trigger, my mind went blank.

"Brother, brother," my cousin pushed me.

"He's dead, he's dead."

Coming back to my senses, I looked at the blood gushing from the silly kid's chest, and his eyes quickly lost focus.

My cousin and I frantically grabbed the nearby grass and pressed it against the wound, "Silly kid, silly kid, hold on."

"This game isn't fun at all."

These were the last words the silly kid left in this world.
