Qi Dongsi had new ideas and ideas, and he seemed to have anticipated every step of the old man's plan. As soon as he looked at the time, there was only half an hour left before the two-hour time promised by Ji Linyuan, and he had to hurry.

Qi Dongsi went the opposite, going up the small stream, looking for every possible hiding place in this vicinity, looking around the small stream, it took more than ten minutes, and he did not see the figure of the old man, but he saw new footprints in the direction of the south, and he subconsciously identified any footprints that appeared as the footprints of the old man.

Following the new footprints, I finally saw a hidden cave in a col two hundred meters away.

There are dense weeds at the entrance of this cave, but this way of covering up seems to be a bit deliberate, and the actual effect is completely opposite, a bit of a feeling that there is no silver three hundred taels here.

Qi Dongsi spent a long time finally ushering in the greatest hope here, and after he calmed down, he walked quickly to the entrance of the cave.

It was not clear what was going on inside the cave, but to be on the safe side, Qi Dongsi took out a dagger of his own and held it in his hand, and then removed the weeds that were hidden at the entrance of the cave.

As soon as he walked into the cave, a yin wind accompanied by the smell of blood came out of his face, and this smell of blood aroused Qi Dongsi's excitement again, and he was even more sure that he would find something inside.

Due to the cover at the entrance of the cave, Qi Dongsi was sure that this was a man-made cave and not the lair of tigers and beasts, and after listening carefully to the movement inside, he quickened the pace of entering.

Like the caves that were often seen in the past to hide from people, the entrance to the cave was a long and narrow passage, and then the space gradually increased, and this cave should have been used as an air-raid shelter in the past.

The deeper he went into the hole, the fainter the light became, and in the end, Qi Dongsi had to rely on his mobile phone and turn on the flashlight to light his way.

Qi Dongsi observed the movement in the cave as he walked inside, but what made him strange was that there was no movement inside, if the old man was inside, then he would definitely make a defensive posture cautiously, and even take the initiative to attack, but Qi Dongsi did not feel any murderous aura.

This abnormal situation surprised Qi Dongsi, isn't the old man inside?

Puzzled, Qi Dongsi quickened his pace again, and soon passed through the narrow passage, and there was a faint light inside.

A few minutes later, a space of about fifty square meters appeared in front of it, and there was a small candle burning quietly on the surrounding stone wall, which did not fully illuminate the entire space.

Qi Dongsi's gaze involuntarily fell to a bed under the innermost darkness, this bed was made of a simple wooden plank, and there was a person lying on the bed, and the smell of blood wafted from this person.

Qi Dongsi couldn't help but be surprised, he scanned the entire cave, and after making sure that there was no one else, he slowly stepped forward to inspect the person lying on the wooden bed with the smell of blood.

After getting closer, Qi Dongsi finally saw the person lying there motionless, as if it was an old man!!

Qi Dongsi's whole heart shook, is this really an old man? Judging from the clothes and the injuries on his legs, he is indeed an old man, but because the whole head is seriously deformed, it is difficult to identify.

Qi Dongsi stretched out his hand and probed in front of the old man's nose, but he was no longer breathing, his heart had stopped beating, and he was already dead!!

What the hell is going on??? Qi Dongsi was stunned, everything in front of him was overturning his previous expectations and judgments, the old man was able to come here, how could it be like this? The only explanation is that he was brought here by someone.

In this way, the old man committed suicide by jumping off a cliff last night is real, and judging from the deformation of his head, he died on the spot, and then was brought here by someone, who would that person be, why did he bring the old man here to put it, if it was the old man's friend, then why not bury it?

Being able to remove the traces of the scene without leaving a trace, and then bring an adult here by the method of wire rope transportation, this person is by no means an ordinary person, and he also has a strong anti-reconnaissance ability, in Qi Dongsi's impression, there seems to be no such a suspicious figure around the old man.

At this time, Qi Dongsi's mind once again appeared the black shadow from last night, could it be that all this was done by that black shadow, if everything is like this, then the black shadow last night is also real, not an illusion caused by the fog.

Qi Dongsi felt more and more that things were not so simple, judging from the fact that the person had tried his best to bring the old man here, the relationship between that person and the old man was not ordinary, he was worried that if an old man fell, there would be another old man, just like the old man himself said, hatred will never go away.

At this moment, there is only the old man alone in this cave, and the so-called black shadow should be near here, and Qi Dongsi plans to wait for his return to see the true face of that black shadow.

Judging from last night's experience, it is very likely that the black shadow has already known Qi Dongsi, and Qi Dongsi does not know anything about the appearance and identity of that black shadow, and will definitely fall into passive trouble in the future.

At this moment, Qi Dongsi's mobile phone rang, and when he saw it, it was Ji Linyuan calling, and the two-hour time for his own report had arrived, but the situation on his side was at a critical moment.

Qi Dongsi wanted to apply for another hour or so, but after thinking about it, he had not kept his promise several times, and he couldn't break his promise again and again, and he didn't know when the black shadow would come back, what if he hadn't come back for an hour?

Qi Dongsi picked up the phone, and there was still an extremely gentle voice on the other end: "Are you back?"

Qi Dongsi was afraid that Ji Linyuan would blame, and said, "Okay, I'm on my way back." ”

"How long will it take?" Ji Linyuan seemed to be eager to see Qi Dongsi.

"It took more than half an hour or so to arrive. Qi Dongsi looked at the time and reported truthfully.

"Okay, then you stay safe on the road, we'll wait for you to have lunch together. ”

"Well, I'll see you in a moment. ”

After hanging up the phone, his originally tense heart suddenly became relaxed, and Ji Linyuan's concern could always bring him different strength.

Qi Dongsi cleaned up and prepared to leave here, and at the moment when he was about to walk out, he stopped, turned around and looked at the body of the old man lying on the bed again.

The time when I was with the old man came to mind again, although the old man was very strict with himself, but after all, all his skills were taught by him, and for a long time in the past, the old man played the role of both a master and a father, although behind all this is a deep hatred, but still feel embarrassed because of such an ending.

As for the last words of the old man before he died, he will live forever in pain, who knows what it will be like forever?

Qi Dongsi pursed his lips, bowed to the old man's body, and strode out of the dark and desolate cave.

On the way out, Qi Dongsi still paid attention to the movements around him, very strange, he always felt that there was a pair of eyes hiding somewhere looking at him, but he couldn't find anyone, and finally thought that his nerves were too tense and had an illusion, after all, he had experienced some extraordinary things in one night.

Galloping rapidly on the way back to the county seat, the scorching sun roasted his face, Qi Dongsi felt a little empty, his biggest enemy old man had died, and the biggest motivation to keep him alive had been lost, what should he do next?

At this time, he recalled what Ji Linyuan said to himself after Ouyang Lan left, a person should not be troubled by hatred for a lifetime, hatred should not become the biggest motivation for a person to live, because hatred will disappear, once hatred disappears, it is a very painful thing to live, and the biggest motivation for a person to live well should always be love.

Ji Linyuan's words are the opposite of the old man's words, but it can't be said which of them is right and who is wrong, from different positions and perspectives, they all have a certain meaning, for the current Qi Dongsi, he needs to find the meaning in the next life, and he is more willing to accept Ji Linyuan's words.

In the past, Qi Dongsi was burdened with hatred, his father, and Cai Xinyu's hatred of Ouyang Lan, and now the murderer of his father and Ouyang Lan The old man is dead, Cai Xinyu's hatred, five years have passed, and there is still no clue, but now he has some doubts, whether to continue to live with hatred, or as Ji Linyuan said, live for love.

Many people around him, many brothers hope that they live well, Ji Linyuan has even given everything to help his career get out of the predicament, and at the same time, he is also actively helping himself out of the shadow of losing Ouyang Lan, how can such a good girl be let down by hatred?

The old man's death was a bit of a surprise for Qi Dongsi, because he had always imagined that he would be able to have a good battle with the old man, but this was the end, the old man chose to commit suicide and tried to make him live in pain for the rest of his life.

Is the truth, which you never seem to see, really important to you? Is it really tormenting yourself?

This is a problem that plagues Qi Dongsi, when a person encounters something enough to destroy his faith, no one can be indifferent, he will try to find the truth, he will not question his father completely because of the old man's one-sided words, as for his own biological mother, if a person does not deliberately destroy all the traces he has left in this world, there will definitely be other clues.
