Chapter 254: Everlasting Lamp
Lei Ling's heart was densely filled with pain: "I don't need to be calm, I'm sober." Xiaobei, I don't want my dad's affair to affect us. He is him, and I am me. As I told you before, I will repay you with a hundredfold sweetness and love for the suffering you have suffered in the past twenty years. β
Xiao Beiyuan smiled bitterly: "I understand the truth, but I need time to digest it, please understand me." β
Lei Ling didn't dare to push her too much: "Then when are you going home?"
There was begging in his tone, and Xiao Beiyuan sighed: "I'll go back when the matter is dealt with." β
"Then you call me, and I'll pick you up. β
Xiao Beiyuan nodded, got into the lawyer's car, and was about to close the car door, but Lei Ling stopped him.
He leaned over, helped her fasten her seatbelt, and paused to speak: "Little girl, I know that you hate my dad for doing heinous things to the Ye family, I know you can't accept it, and I also know that you need to calm down, I just beg you, don't leave me." You can torture me however you want, please don't leave me. You know, without you, I'd be dead. β
Xiao Beiyuan's tears that she finally stopped had a tendency to burst again, she turned her face away, and her urn voice was angry: "You go back, I'm leaving." β
Lei Ling reluctantly closed the door for her, and the lawyer nodded to him and started the car to leave.
The car disappeared from sight, and Lei Ling didn't move, just stood there, like a sculpture.
Rui Xueji walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Ling......"
Lei Ling turned his face sideways and looked at her, his eyes sad and painful: "Mom, won't Xiaobei forgive me?"
"No, when the affairs of the Chinese New Year's Eve family have nothing to do with you, Xiao Shiyi will not blame you." She may not be able to accept it for a while and can't figure it out, just let her calm down. Rui Xueji sighed, "Twenty years, everything is on her, how bitter she is, no one is qualified to ask her to forgive all this, isn't it? Because forgiveness means betrayal." β
She is talking about Xiao Beikite, but in fact, why not herself?
"Let's go, go back to the courtyard first. β
Lei Ling drooped his head and followed Rui Xueji, his heart was in a mess, and his internal organs were mixed together.
Thunder followed the patrol down the steps and walked over: "Brother Ling......"
Lei Ling walked straight over as if he hadn't seen it, and Lei Ting was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed.
"Brother Ling, he ......" Lei Ting looked at Rui Xueji and asked cautiously, "What's wrong with him?"
Rui Xueji sneered: "It's all your fault, but you want your son to bear it for you, I'm afraid you're the most failed father in the world, right?"
Thunder was trembling by her expression: "Xue Ji, you...... I know it's wrong, can't even you forgive me?"
Rui Xueji withdrew her gaze from his face and looked at Lei Ling's listless back: "Twenty years, the injustice suffered by the Ye family has gone deep into the sea, what qualifications do you have to ask for forgiveness? If you hadn't been blinded by lard back then, how could there be today's disaster? Thunder, everything is your own fault." β
"Yukihime, I know it's wrong. With tears in his eyes, "I have been tormenting all the time in the past twenty years. β
Rui Xueji leaned forward and looked at him, her eyes burning with raging fire: "What about the night family, more than a dozen fresh illnesses have turned into white bones, and Xiao Shiyi has almost been killed by them several times, aren't they suffering?"
Her words, word by word, thunder breathing a little uncomfortable: "Then what do you want me to do? Do you want me to die?"
Rui Xueji sneered: "If death could end hatred, you would have died thousands of times in the past twenty years." Thunder, people are watching the sky, and sooner or later you have to pay it back, you still have to think about it, how can you still be innocent at night. β
After saying this, she resolutely left, without looking at him again.
Thunder turned to look at her back, calling her name in his heart, and old tears flowed across his eyes.
Uncle Jiu's private residence in Cannes is in the center of the city, surrounded by layers of commercial circles, and he has opened up a good place to find peace and quiet, called "Ziyang Garden".
The vermilion gate, the two stone lions at the door, Xiao Beiyuan pushed the door in with the lawyer, and under the high walls on the left and right sides were wisteria trellises, and the rest were all kinds of hydrangeas.
The lawyer was here for the first time and was curious: "It's the first time I've seen so many hydrangeas. β
Xiao Beiyuan nodded: "Hydrangeas are also called hydrangeas, Uncle Nine said...... It's my mom's favorite flower. β
"Your mother must have been beautiful when she was young. β
Xiao Beiyuan lowered her eyes and hid the loneliness in her eyes: "I don't remember what my mother looks like." β
The lawyer didn't know how to comfort her for a while, and the so-called empathy was all a lie.
One can never know how much another person hurts, just as one can never take the place of another.
The two of them walked through the flower gallery and arrived next to the rockery, looking up to see the Chinese-style building built on the water, and next to the high floor-to-ceiling windows, was the figure of Uncle Jiu.
As if it was telepathy, Uncle Nine turned around, saw her, cracked his mouth and laughed, beckoning to her.
Xiao Beiyuan entered: "Uncle Nine." β
Uncle Nine sighed and pointed to the two antique boxes on the coffee table: "Light, don't make noise to your parents, they have been floating without roots for twenty years, they are too tired, let them sleep for a while." β
Xiao Beiyuan wanted to go over, but his feet couldn't move as if they had been enchanted. Over the years, she has longed for family affection, but she didn't dare to approach at this moment, for fear of disturbing something.
She died before her parents were half a year old, she traveled to F countries, Milan countries, Italy countries, and changed various identities and languages, even if she meets them in another way now, she is always Xiao Beikite.
She can't come to see them as a night picker, and she hasn't helped the night family wash away their grievances.
She was afraid that her parents didn't know her, they must only know Xiao Shiyi, right?
She stood still, her head bowed, her shoulders twitching.
Uncle Nine walked over gently, hugged her shoulders, and lowered his voice very lowly: "Silly girl, don't cry, Ah Shang has cleaned up the room, and we will settle your parents' ashes together." β
Xiao Beiyuan raised his hand to wipe his face, walked over gently, knelt in front of the coffee table, raised his hand tremblingly, but did not dare to put it on.
After a while, she slowly pasted it: "Dad, Mom, I'm Xiao Shiyi." β
Uncle Nine came over, picked up a box and handed it to her carefully, and picked up the other one himself: "Don't cry, maybe they are walking on the road of reincarnation, if they hear you crying, they are reluctant to be reincarnated, and they will become lonely ghosts." β
Xiao Beiyuan wanted to wipe her tears, holding the urn in her hand, she didn't dare to move.
The lawyer hurriedly drew a tissue to help her wipe her tears.
Ah Shang's room is on the top floor, and it can be seen that he is very attentive, and has made a special cabinet, incense candles, paper money, incense burners, and even futons, as well as some Buddhist scriptures.
Uncle Nine took Xiao Bei Kite and carefully placed the urn on the cabinet.
"Xiao Shiyi, kneel down and kowtow to your parents. β
Xiao Beiyuan took two steps back, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times in a row.
Ah Shang handed her the lit incense, she took it in her hand, stared at the two urns a few times, inserted the incense in the incense burner, and knelt down two steps back.
She has never had a very concrete concept of yin and yang separation, and she experienced it once when her adoptive parents died, when she did not recover for a whole year, and the lawyer took her to see a psychiatrist......
In the past few years, as the investigation has deepened, she has become more and more aware of the affairs of the Ye family, and subconsciously she has accepted the fact that the Ye family is the only one left, and what has supported her all these years is just to give the Ye family justice. But when she really saw her parents' ashes, she still couldn't accept it.
Yes, the night family is right, parents protect the safety of people's lives and property as patrols, grandparents help G's family restore cultural relics, uncle was admitted to the police academy, and sister-in-law is also determined to be admitted to the archaeology department...... What is wrong with them to suffer such a catastrophe?
They just want to do the work they love, protect their families, and love each other as a family, where are they wrong?
They're right, it's those who are wrong.
Why is the Yin and Yang of the Ye family separated, but they are alive and well, standing at the top of glory and wealth?
She won't forgive any of them.
The lawyer also put on three sticks of incense, and then stepped aside.
After the ninth uncle finished the incense, he sighed: "I originally wanted to find a good cemetery for your parents so that we can pay respects." But the matter of the Ye family has not yet settled, and you are still looking for your grandparents and them, so I simply settled your parents here first, and sent them back to the ancestral grave of the Ye family together in the future. β
Xiao Beiyuan nodded, and couldn't stop her tears: "Uncle Jiu, you are in charge, I will listen to you." β
Uncle Nine said again, "Do you have time in the afternoon? I want to take you somewhere." β
The scene in front of him was a little blurry, the figures in front of him were overlapping and shaking, and the urns containing his parents in front of him overlapped and separated, Xiao Beiyuan smiled: "Okay." β
After saying these two words, she tilted and fell to the ground.
"Little Pick-up ......"
"Little North ......"
Uncle Jiu, who was closest to her, helped her up: "Xiaobei, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Beiyuan opened his eyes with difficulty, tears were like bursting the embankment, and he said with difficulty: "Uncle Nine, I am in so much pain, so painful......"
Uncle Nine's eyes widened and he asked the lawyer, "Where is her medicine?"
"In the bag, I'll get it. The lawyer turned around and ran out, and at the same time Ah Shang also ran out.
Uncle Nine picked up Xiao Beiyuan, walked out of the room, and put it on the sofa in the small living room.
The lawyer and Ah Shang ran up panting, one with medicine and the other with water.
Uncle Nine helped Xiao Beiyuan to lean on his arms and fed her medicine and water.
The lawyer and Ah Shang came over: "How is it, is it better?"
Xiao Beiyuan just cried, at first sobbing quietly, and then simply opened her throat and cried.
The three big men accompanied them like this, and they didn't dare to persuade or speak.
They all know that it's a good thing to be able to cry now, it's better than holding it in their hearts.
Xiao Beiyuan cried so much that she fell asleep, and Ah Shang brought a thin blanket over and carefully covered her.
Uncle Nine winked, and the three of them stepped aside.
Ah Shang frowned: "I knew she was so sad, so I would tell her later." β
Uncle Nine shook his head: "She is sad mainly because she knows what Lei Ting did back then." β
The lawyer nodded: "Yes, she is not in the right state in the Patrol Bureau, like a split personality, and said that she wants to find a helper and ask Kirin to take her to the cherry blossom country." β
Ah Shang sighed: "Xiao Shiyi is strong enough, if it were me, I would probably have killed the thunder." β
Uncle Nine asked, "Did she really say she was going to the Cherry Blossom Country?"
The lawyer nodded, and Uncle Nine said: "It's a good thing that she can figure it out, with the power of the Miyamoto family, we can learn about the affairs of the Ye family as soon as possible." β
The lawyer thought for a while: "Xiaobei and Lei Ling seem to be ...... After making a little unpleasant, she said to calm down. β
This is expected, if something like this happens, she can still be with Lei Ling like before, she will not be a night pickup.
Uncle Nine nodded: "It's okay to be calm and calm, let her live here for the next few days." β
The lawyer was going to see Yan Manchun to ask about something, and Xiao Beiyuan was here for him to be relieved, so he left early.
Uncle Nine instructed Ah Shang: "Let the kitchen boil some porridge, it is estimated that this girl will not be able to eat anything else when she wakes up." β
Ah Shang nodded and went out, and Uncle Nine sat in the corner for a while, then got up and returned to the sofa.
Xiao Beiyuan slept unsteadily, his fists were clenched tightly, his brows were furrowed tightly, and his breathing was a little unsmooth.
How tired is she to walk alone with the hatred of the night family? Although they have been helping, they are always beyond their reach. Her dearest and dearest relatives in those things, because of the thunder, she became an orphan.
Uncle Nine covered his eyes, Xiao Shiyi, how did you come over those years?
How did you survive the loss of loved ones, the loss of adoptive parents, and this damn disease, and those assassinations that you could see and can't see?
Uncle Nine choked up and muttered: "Master, eldest lady, I'm sorry......"
The person on the sofa was about to be dreaming, startled, and shouted: "Mom, Dad, brother, Xiao Shiyi misses you so much, I miss you so much." β
She turned over, curled up in a ball, hugged her head, and cried: "Where are you, don't leave me, grandparents, sister-in-law, uncle, don't leave me, Xiao Shiyi is afraid of the dark ......"
Uncle Jiu, who has been tempered countless times in the shadow of the sword and sword, is in tears in Xiao Beikite's dreams.
I don't know what I dreamed of, Xiao Beiyuan sat up in shock and shouted: "Don't ......"
Uncle Nine didn't have time to wipe his tears, so he pounced on it: "Little pick one, pick up one." β
Xiao Beiyuan pulled her hair, buried her head between her knees, and trembled.
Uncle Nine was so heartbroken that he hugged her gently: "Is our little pick-up one having a nightmare, it's okay, Uncle Nine is here." β
The person in her arms trembled, and after a long, long time, she slowly raised her head, looked at him with red and swollen eyes, and her mouth was deflated: "Ninth Uncle, Ninth Uncle, woo woo woo......"
She started crying again, the contact lenses fell out from crying, and a pair of eyes were more like they had been washed, Uncle Nine was afraid that her body would really have problems if she cried again, so he thought about it and persuaded: "Don't cry, Uncle Nine has something to tell you." Didn't you just say that I was going to take you to a place? Do you know, your grandfather lit an everlasting lantern for you in Longhua Temple. β
"Ever-bright lights?"
"Yes, pray that the Buddha will bless you with peace and joy. You were only four years old at that time, which means that the lantern had been lit for twenty years. Back then, your grandfather donated a large sum of money to the monastery just to light an everlasting lamp for you. So girl, it's uncomfortable, it's uncomfortable, do you want to know it well?"
Xiao Beiyuan nodded, only if you are good can you take revenge.
If something happens to her, it will be the relatives and the enemies will be happy.
"I ask the monks to do the best to transcend the spirits of your parents, and besides, the old couple who protect the ashes of your parents want to see you. β
Xiao Beiyuan nodded: "Okay, listen to you." β
After eating something, the group set off for Longhua Temple, during which Lei Ling made a few phone calls, but Xiao Beiyuan didn't answer.
Uncle Nine also has a lot of phone calls, and the people below report various things to him, Xiao Beiyuan sits in the back with him, and some voices inevitably fall into his ears.
In fact, some of the cultural relics of the Ye family back then are now in Lin Qi's hands, and some of them were stolen by her to the harbor area, and some of them were sold abroad by her. Including the things she did at the charity dinner auction some time ago, they were all at night.
Uncle Nine has been checking these things for a long time, and he has spent a lot of money to recover some from major auction houses, but it is still a drop in the bucket.
"How many things did they take from the Ye family back then?"
Uncle Nine unscrewed the orange juice he had just squeezed and handed it to her, and thought for a while: "I'll settle an account for you, most of the things they took away back then were cultural relics." And these cultural relics, some of them were handed over to your grandfather by the G family for restoration, and some of them were your own Ye family, among which the representative works include the phoenix crown and xia veil that Lei Ling photographed and gave to you, and of course, there are many valuable jade. β
"What else did they take from the night house besides the artifacts?"
"Have you ever heard of Ten Mile Red Makeup?"
Xiao Bei Kite: "......"
"Do you remember when I told you that your parents fell in love at first sight? In fact, they have also experienced many twists and turns together, and your grandparents strongly oppose it, because your mother has a fiancΓ©. Later, your parents' love touched them, and when you got married, your grandparents prepared ten miles of red makeup for your mother. At that time, the pomp and circumstance was called unprecedented by the media. β
Xiao Beiyuan was too uncomfortable, but he was interested in this: "Tell me, what kind of ten-mile red makeup?"
"There are too many to count, there are tens of thousands of taels of gold alone, dozens of musical instruments handed down from the Tang Dynasty, and the best pearls in the cherry blossom country, and there are thousands of gold, stone and jade alone. There are also countless title deeds to real estate, as well as safe deposit boxes for major banks around the world. I remember when you were born, your mother was very happy and said that she would leave the ten miles of red makeup for you as a dowry...... It's a pity that in the end, they were all stolen by those traitors, and nothing was left. β
Xiao Beiyuan didn't speak for a long time, just looked out the window.
After a long time, she spoke: "Uncle Nine, let's also offer everlasting lanterns to grandparents, parents, and parents, right?"
"Well, that's exactly what I mean. β
Xiao Beiyuan paused: "I...... I may have to stay on your side for a few days. β
"It doesn't matter, you can stay as long as you want. β
"Since Lei Ting voluntarily surrendered, the affairs of the night family should not be delayed any longer, I want to take the time to go back to the cherry blossom country to meet my uncle. β
"Okay, I'll arrange it. β
She sighed long: "I'm really unwilling, what they added to the Ye family is higher than the mountain and deeper than the sea, and I can't even pay them back." β
Uncle Nine pondered for a few seconds: "Don't worry, leave it to me." β
When they arrived at Longhua Temple, the abbot personally came to greet them, and first took them to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, where Xiao Beiyuan saw the everlasting lamp.
In the past 20 years, she has had warmth, drifting, and expectations, she has cared about others and been cared for by others, but she always feels that something is missing.
It wasn't until she saw this everlasting lamp that she suddenly understood what was missing in her life.
So many people care about her, but after all, a little blood is thicker than water.
And this lamp let her know for the first time that there are still relatives in the world.
She doesn't have to be like before, and she will be sad to death when she sees her father giving clothes to her daughter.
The abbot explained: "When the old benefactor found me on Chinese New Year's Eve and wanted to light a lantern, he donated 20 million to the temple for this purpose. Later, there was an accident at night, and the temple was repaired several times, but I always remember this lamp. I didn't expect to see the owner of the lamp in my lifetime. β
Xiao Beiyuan would rather believe that she is still alive and well, and it is her grandfather who protects her in the dark.
"Uncle Nine said that he invited a senior monk to do things, and I want to offer an ever-bright lantern to the rest of the night family. β
The abbot nodded: "Yes, Shi is mainly hearted, you can copy Buddhist scriptures, and it can be regarded as a way to transcend the dead." β
After all the formalities were completed, the ever-bright lights got up one by one, and the grandparents, parents, uncles and sisters-in-law, brothers, and Xiao Bei Kite stood for a long time to express their grief.
Coming out of Longhua Temple, the original itinerary was to meet the old couple, but Uncle Nine saw that Xiao Beiyuan was not in good spirits, so he asked Ah Shang to call and say that it was rescheduled.
On the way back, Xiao Beiyuan leaned on Uncle Jiu's arms and fell asleep after a while.
When she returned to Ziyang Xiaoyuan, she hadn't woken up yet, Ah Shang took her down, sent her back to the bedroom, and took hot water out to help her wipe her face and hands.
Back in the living room, Uncle Nine asked, "What's the situation on Thunder's side now?"
Ah Shang replied: "The Lei family gave him bail and sent him back to the hospital." He confessed everything that happened back then, and at the same time handed over all the evidence in his possession, and then it was up to the police to deal with it. It may take time, after all, there are too many people involved in the twenty-year-old case to be overturned again......"
Uncle Nine sighed: "What about Lin Qi?"
"The news that Lao Ba just came back, the police summoned Lin Qi and asked her to return to the Patrol Bureau to assist in the investigation, but she has not come out yet. β
"They can wait, we can't wait, you now hand over all the information we have to the police. Uncle Nine explained, "You send two more people to cooperate with Lao Ba and closely monitor Lin Ji's movements to prevent her from slipping away." And that Guo Jinhong, is it coming out soon?"
Ah Shang nodded: "I heard that it was the pressure from the harbor area, and this side had to release people, it is estimated that it will be a matter of the next two days." β
"Guo Jinhong is not a fuel-efficient lamp, you go and keep an eye on him personally. β
β¦β¦
Patrol Bureau, Lin Qi came out of it after recording his confession, and saw Lin Yunjun and Assistant Zhou standing at the door of the hall.
Seeing her, they hurried over.
When Lin Yunjun held her sister, she found that she was trembling violently, and she was startled: "Lin Qi, what's wrong?"
Lin Qi was in a cold sweat, shook his head, and picked up the others, and they went out first.
When he got to the car, Lin Yunjun asked anxiously: "It was said that Lei Ting voluntarily surrendered, what happened?"
