Chapter 78: Su Qin
Jiang Pingsheng woke up in the hospital, the black head in his sight, he reached out and touched the top of the cool hair, under the palm, the woman's hair was soft.
Liang Shu woke up and watched his tears fall silently like beads of broken threads.
He sighed, "Don't take your aunt's money, I'll make money for you later, okay?"
Her answer was: Yes.
So later Jiang Pingsheng, while taking care of his studies, he worked several jobs, Ni Xiuli also compromised, turned a blind eye, Liang Shu didn't know whether to listen to him or Aunt Mei, there were a lot of rules.
In her senior year, she was twenty-one years old, and Jiang Pingsheng, who was one year older than her, graduated from graduate school.
On the day Jiang Pingsheng graduated from graduate school, Liang Shu followed Jiang Pingsheng to attend a dinner party in their dormitory.
During the banquet, there was also his graduate supervisor, Professor Li, and some classmates from the same department.
It was the first time for everyone to see Liang Shu, and most of them were older than Jiang Pingsheng, so they called Liang Shu brothers and sisters.
The party is in an integrated large private room.
There are dinner tables, machine hemp, and KTV.
During the meal, some people toasted cold wine, but all of them were stopped by Jiang Pingsheng and drunk.
He didn't drink well, so he went to the bathroom and threw up not long after.
A roommate came over and handed the wine in her hand to Liang Shu, she pursed a smile on her red lips, blocked it back, and refused, "I promised Ah Sheng not to drink." β
The roommate smiled and finished a drink for himself, "You really listen to him, so does he listen to you?"
"Listen. β
The roommate then said, "Pingsheng is the best brain in our bunch of people, he was born to read the material, Professor Li attaches great importance to him, and hopes that he will continue to study for a doctorate, with his lifelong talent, he should not stop at graduate school." β
Liang Shu looked down at his white and slender hands, thinking of Jiang Pingsheng's slender and good-looking fingers, but there was a layer of cocoons in his palms.
She whispered, "Ah Sheng said he didn't want to study anymore, and I couldn't force him." β
"Sister, sometimes a man has a lot of helplessness, he just compromises this for another thing, although we are seeing you for the first time, but we all know in our hearts what he has been running like this for the past few years. β
The roommate looked at her, "He loves you and is willing to do this for you, but you can't stop him from moving forward." β
Another roommate followed suit, "You persuaded him that there is no conflict between taking care of you and continuing your studies, and besides, you're about to graduate from college, aren't you?"
Liang Shu was silent.
On the way back.
The two walked hand in hand on the street in the middle of the night in Yucheng, her fingers rubbed the cocoon in his palm, and sighed softly, "These hands are hands holding pens, why are they calloused." β
At this time, he comforted her, but instead clasped her ten fingers tighter, so that the hard calloon rubbed her palm even more, "These hands are like this for you, you are not allowed to dislike them in the future." β
Liang Shu held his palm and pressed it against his face, "I won't dislike you." β
Jiang Pingsheng hugged her, his voice had the most heart-warming power, he said, "I'm going to earn money to support you wholeheartedly, and in the future, we will buy a big house with a yard, plant some flowers in the yard, and buy all the plants you like." β
She was quietly held by him and did not speak.
Until he came to the end of the road, Liang Shu looked up at him, "Ah Sheng, I'll make money to support you in the future, okay?" I'll graduate from my senior year soon, I'll find a job, and then you continue to study for a doctorate." β
Jiang Pingsheng, of course, refused.
This was the expected result of Liang Shu, it was just the beginning, and she didn't take it to heart.
Afterward.
It's the end of October.
She still said that she moved him.
After Jiang Pingsheng died, Liang Shu finally began to believe in her life and took care of the people closest to her.
Mainly, fate is like this, so she has to believe.
In the crematorium of the funeral home, she watched Jiang Pingsheng's body be burned to ashes.
Mrs. Ni didn't dare to look at it, hiding her face and crying.
Ni Xiuli's face seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, he pointed at Liang Shu angrily, his eyes were cloudy, and his face was full of tears, "I knelt down and begged you back then, why did you still refuse to let him go?"
Mrs. Ni sat on the side and beat her chest, almost not breathing, she stepped forward and grabbed Liang Shu's hand, "Such a good person, why do you want to harm him? Although he has been looking for you for five years, he has at least lived a good life, look at him later, what has he been forced to look like by life?"
Ni Xiuli was angry because of the cool thing, let Jiang Pingsheng go, and never gave him support in life.
So Jiang Pingsheng worked several jobs, and in order to get money quickly, he even went to the construction site to carry cement.
"It's all your fault, it's your life!"
Above the mourning hall, the people in the black-and-white photos are smiling extremely gently and sunnyly.
Liang Shu looked up, ignoring all the voices in her ears, Jiang Pingsheng in the photo was smiling at her, so Liang Shu also smiled, she opened her lips softly and asked the face: Ah Sheng, do you think it's my fault too?
When she was five years old, she followed her first family, who went bankrupt and they said it was her fault.
Later, the second family, the brother was almost bitten to death by a mad dog, and they also said it was her fault.
But what does the company's management have to do with her?
That day, she just seemed to hear Jiang Pingsheng calling her, she ran out to see, her brother was bitten by a mad dog nearby, what does it have to do with her?
When she was thirteen years old, she picked up her most beloved ring for Lu Jinsheng's mother, and his mother jumped from a tall building and died, does it have anything to do with her?
And now, she persuaded Jiang Pingsheng to continue her studies for a doctorate, was she wrong?
She wanted to say she wasn't wrong.
But Jiang Ping was alive and dead.
Just because she tirelessly persuaded him to do a Ph.D., he agreed, and then died on the way to find his mentor.
By the way, because of Jiang Ping's murder, Lu Jinsheng's sister was killed in that explosion, and her bones were gone.
Seeing that she was still laughing, Mrs. Ni pushed away everyone's support, stepped forward and slapped her hard, Mrs. Ni didn't have much strength, but it made Liang Shu, who had not eaten well for a long time, immediately fall to the ground.
She looked at Mrs. Ni and pointed at herself and scolded: "You are really a wolf-hearted dog, how can you still laugh at such a time? I don't ask you to shed half a tear for your life, how can you still laugh? What qualifications do you have to laugh?!"
When Mrs. Ni spoke, tears kept rolling down, and she couldn't bear the pain and fainted.
Liang looked at the photo in a daze, as if he couldn't feel the pain in his body.
Ah Sheng, didn't you smile at me first?
The people who came to the funeral on this day said that the woman who killed Yu Da Gaosheng was too hard-hearted, such a good person, she killed people, and she didn't shed a single tear.
But everyone who had seen Liang Shu that day forgot about her completely.
Or rather, no one dared to remember her.
Just because some people say that this woman is a bad star and will kill people.
On the day of Jiang Pingsheng's funeral, the Ni family and his wife disappeared.
It was raining lightly, and the cemetery on the outskirts of the city was silent.
His funeral was very lively, many people came from Yu Da, and the scene was piled with flowers.
But he was only accompanied by a few college roommates when he came to his funeral.
Liang Shu hadn't eaten for several days, and the road was unstable, so she held Jiang Pingsheng's ashes, and they held the urn.
On this day in the cemetery on the outskirts of the city, an accident occurred.
Liang Shu knocked over Jiang Pingsheng's urn.
The jar was torn apart, and the pure white powder inside was blown up by the wind, and a large part of it was nailed to the grass and dirt by the rain.
The person behind him was heartbroken at first, and then when he saw the powder, he was shocked.
This jar is not filled with Jiang Pingsheng's ashes.
They couldn't be simpler than limestone ground into lime powder.
Obviously, Liang Shu also saw it.
She had just started to frantically pick up the grass on the ground, and the powdered grass was uprooted by her, and in just a minute, the tips of her fingers had already been worn out, and the dirt was embedded in her nails, which was shocking.
Soon, she discovered the anomaly as well.
The so-called ashes are nothing more than a pile of lime powder.
She sat on the ground, staring blankly ahead, the rain soaking her clothes and hair.
Behind him, Jiang Pingsheng's roommate stepped forward and propped up the black umbrella to the top of Liang Shu's head, also with a painful and unbearable face.
Liang Shu lowered her eyes and quietly watched the white powder on the ground drenched by the rain, mixed with the rain, slowly turning into tiny ditches in the vertical and horizontal grass, winding past her knees.
At this moment, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Fortunately, it was not Jiang Pingsheng's ashes, if he knew that she had knocked over his ashes, how much would he hate her in his heart?
Liang Shu slowly closed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes, her voice had changed from calm to almost indifferent, and she said to the people behind her, "After leaving the cemetery, you have forgotten about me, they are all right, I will kill people, this is not a joke." β
Rain fell from her forehead and flowed into her eyes, and she pulled her lips self-deprecatingly, "I used to be unbelieving, but Ah Shengsheng is dead, I don't dare to disbelieve it anymore." Later, if someone is lucky enough to mention it, you will say that you don't know each other. β
She couldn't control everything in the past, but Jiang Ping's life would be the end of her life.
All will be safe and rejoicing.
She will never have anyone close to her again.
That's what she's going to do for the rest of the year.
Liang Shu knew that she would not be able to find Jiang Pingsheng's ashes again, and since the Ni family and his wife had taken him away, it would be impossible for her to find them in a short time.
But when a man dies, he must be buried in the ground.
So later, Liang Shu cut a cut of his own hair and put it in the urn.
The roommate looked at a strand of jet-black hair in a dark wooden box in shock, and his lips opened, "You...... Any idea what you're doing?"
"In time, I will find his ashes and take out the hair, and now, let it be buried deep in the ground in his place. β
"Think about it, you're a living person, trapping your hair in this ......"
The next words, the male roommate did not continue.
I saw Liang Shu smile indifferently, "I have nothing to shy away from, I'm just a surviving person at best." β
She claimed to be the surviving at the time.
At this time, the roommates who were still upset about Jiang Ping's life suddenly had no words, lowered their heads, and a low sigh came out of their mouths.
The Ni family and his wife later brought Jiang Pingsheng's ashes to Wencheng.
The couple, who were over 50 years old, bought a two-story small house with a yard in Nanchuan Town.
When Liang Shu found this place, there were two hangs of dried radishes hanging in front of the low courtyard gate, covered with a layer of white snow.
She knocked on the door, waiting for someone inside to open the door, Liang Shu picked up a branch and squatted down on the ground and drew a big smile.
After a while, footsteps sounded inside, and then an old woman's voice rang out: "Who is outside the door?"
I haven't seen it for many years, and even this voice has undergone a lot of vicissitudes.
Liang Shu stood up straight, pursed his lips and stared at the crack in the door, but did not answer.
Two minutes later, the courtyard door was opened from the inside.
The heavy black and gray down jacket wrapped Mrs. Ni's bloated body, she stood in the threshold, her hands still maintaining the movement of opening the door, "Who?"
Liang Shu's eyes looked at Mrs. Ni steadily.
In the next moment, she knelt directly at the gate of the courtyard.
His knee hit the threshold, and a piercing pain came.
Mrs. Ni will not forget this face, she was shocked like seeing a ghost, and even the wrinkles on her old face changed, she wanted to close the door immediately, but she never thought that a hand reached out and grabbed the door directly on the side.
Mrs. Ni's strength is definitely not as good as Liangqi, so she can't close this door.
She looked down at the kneeling man and gritted her teeth, "How did you find here?!What do you want to do? We don't want to see you, you get out of here now! Get out of here!"
Mrs. Ni trembled with anger, as if she was afraid.
Someone she hadn't seen for several years suddenly appeared, which was a nightmare for her.
And Liang Shu didn't speak, she just held the door with her right hand to prevent her from closing.
Mrs. Ni struggled, withdrew her hands, and the two doors slammed against the wall due to inertia, and the sound shook hard.
Mrs. Ni pointed out, her eyes fierce, "I told you to get out of here, you can't hear me, don't you? We don't want to see you at all!"
At this time, Liang Shu suddenly looked up at her, smiled at Mrs. Ni, and said softly, "Where is Ah Sheng?"
"How dare you mention it?!!...... "Mrs. Ni thumped her chest and looked at her, "What face do you have in front of me with this name? β
Liang Shu shook his head, suddenly reached out and grabbed Mrs. Ni's clothes, a little choked, "I want to take his ashes back to Yucheng, is it okay?"
"You're not qualified!" Madame Ni took a step back.
Liang Shu stood up slowly with the door frame, she said, "He didn't hesitate to break with Mr. Ni to be with me back then, you took his ashes away and trapped here all these years, did you hear his request to let you send him back to me when you slept at night?"
"You didn't hear me, he asked me to take him home. β
Mrs. Ni felt that Liang Shu must be crazy.
She closed the door.
Go in the door and call Ni Xiuli.
The weather was so gloomy in the afternoon that I didn't know when it was going to snow.
When Ni Xiuli came back, Liang Shu was still there.
She was standing under the bare date tree, her eyes fixed on the ground.
Ni Xiuli approached and found a smiling face painted on a tree branch on the ground.
He is a teacher, not as radical as Mrs. Ni, and with the phone call from his wife just now, he is much calmer at the moment.
"My wife is afraid of you, can you stay away from her?"
Liang Shu pursed his lips and smiled, "I didn't enter the courtyard gate." β
"You have been in front of our house for an afternoon, and the neighbors are afraid to talk about you when they see you, and if you have any business, we will find a place to talk about it. Ni Xiuli said.
Liang Shu still smiled, and his tone didn't change, "That's their business, I only have one sentence, I want Jiang Pingsheng's ashes." β
Snow fell from the jujube tree, grazing Ni Xiuli's shoulders and falling onto the briefcase he was carrying.
She followed the voice and saw that his briefcase should have been used for a long time, and the surface of the leather briefcase had long since peeled.
The expression on Liang Shu's face suddenly softened.
Ni Xiuli is a nostalgic person, and this briefcase was bought by Jiang Pingsheng back then.
Liang Shu accompanied him to buy it, she was a little unhappy at the time, but it was only a little.
In the shopping mall, she looked at Jiang Pingsheng, who was seriously choosing things, and couldn't help complaining, "Your teacher Ni hates me, and you still buy things for him in front of me, aren't you afraid that I will be angry?"
But Jiang Pingsheng smiled at the corner of his mouth, picked out something and brought it to her, and asked her, "Do you think this is suitable for Uncle Ni?"
What he is holding in his hand is the briefcase in Ni Xiuli's hand now.
Liang Shu gave a very pertinent evaluation at the time: "It's not good-looking, but it suits him very well." β
It's really not good-looking, and there are even more good-looking styles next to it.
But in the end, Jiang Pingsheng still bought this one.
Liang Shu asked him why?
Jiang Pingsheng said: "Buy him an ugly one, so that your heart will be balanced." β
I didn't expect this briefcase to be used by Ni Xiuli for many years.
And the watch that Jiang Pingsheng gave her, not only did she not repair it, but lost it.
That was the only thing she could use to remember Jiang Ping's life except for the ashes.
She has lived with Jiang Pingsheng for so long, didn't she leave anything else in Jiang Pingsheng?
Stayed.
Jiang Pingsheng's pen he wrote, the books he read, the ruler he measured, and even the coat that he had covered and wore through the quilt were all kept.
Later, Lu Jinsheng burned it clean.
Liang Shu watched the sky-high fire reflected on Lu Jinsheng's cold and three-dimensional facial features, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, "He killed Lu Yao, why can you leave his things?"
At that time, she only silently put her left hand behind her back to prevent Lu Jinsheng from seeing the watch.
She shook her head, calmly, "You're right, I don't deserve to keep anything from him. β
It is said that seeing things will think about people, and when a fire is burned, it will be clean.
......
Thinking of some past events that could make the corners of people's mouths bloom with smiles, when she spoke again, Liang Shu was a lot calmer, she looked at Ni Xiuli sincerely, "Uncle Ni, can you let me bring Ah Sheng's ashes back?"
Ni Xiuli said, "Everyone else is dead, don't you even let go of his ashes?"
This means that Liang Shu understands, they will not give Ah Sheng's ashes to her.
Liang Shu nodded and bowed to Ni Xiuli, "Excuse me." β
She left the street when it was dark.
Before the snowstorm came, Liang Shu bought a roasted sweet potato on the side of the road, and on the way back to the hotel, she called Gu Hansheng while nibbling on the sweet potato.
It took a long time for the other end to pick up, and the surrounding environment was not quiet.
But Liang Shu still heard what Gu Hansheng said clearly.
Gu Hansheng asked her what she was doing.
Liang replied: "I'm eating baked sweet potatoes. β
"Baked by the chef at home?"
"No, I bought it on the side of the road. Liang Shu glanced at the sky, quickened his pace, and then said, "I'm going to find my aunt, don't worry about me, it's boring to be alone at home." β
She couldn't hide the fact that she left Mansion Zero, so Liang Shu chose to strike first.
Sure enough, Gu Hansheng was a little unhappy, "I'm bored, I asked people to send you to Gu Zhai, why don't you?"
"Well, I'll tell you the truth, I can't resist the old lady if you're not there, I haven't seen my aunt for a long time, so I'll go and see her by the way. β
Gu Hansheng didn't say anything, he was a little busy, and Liang Shu told him very intimately, "Mr. Gu has a bad stomach, drink less and smoke less, I'll hang up." β
"Can you make two phone calls a day?" the man's voice was faint.
Liang Shu nodded, and suddenly remembered that he couldn't see at all, so he said, "Okay." β
When she got back to the hotel, it started snowing outside.
Snow as big as goose feathers fell from the sky, and everywhere was a scene covered in silver.
......
Gu Hansheng's schedule for this day is full.
When Liang Shu called him, he was indeed busy.
In a bar.
At the bar, a woman in an expensive wild mink coat raised her glass at the man who had returned from answering the phone, and she took a sip of the colorful cocktail in front of her, the transparent glass with a faint lipstick print.
Gu Hansheng sat down on the barstool, he was very tall, and his legs were longer.
He took the wine handed by the bartender, glanced at the woman sitting beside him out of the corner of his eye, and took a sip of wine before he spoke, "What did Miss Su just say?"
The "Miss Su" in his mouth reached out and stroked his long hair at this moment, and a faint fragrance entered Gu Hansheng's snort, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.
She smiled upside down, "Mr. Gu is really a noble person who forgets things, I just called you a few days ago, and you forgot." β
The man's dark brows furrowed slightly, only to hear her smile and say, "Oh I forgot, you didn't get that call." β
"I didn't expect you to call me first, since you have returned to China, why did you stay in Wencheng?"
Miss Su's eyes painted with heavy makeup were slightly raised, her eyes were a little charming, and she was a little indifferent when she looked closely, she smiled, "Waiting for you to come to me." After a half-second pause, she continued, "I was in the city of Shengton, and it was late at night when I called, and your call was received by a woman......
Gu Hansheng held the cup silently with his fingers, waiting for her to continue.
"I rushed to Yucheng to see you, if I was bumped into by someone next to you, how embarrassing it would be. β
The man's eyebrows swept over the coldness, and he pulled his lips, "So what is your purpose?"
"I have to meet my sister," Su Qin smiled slowly, "I want you to take me back personally." β
"I'll take you back in person, and you're not afraid that someone around me will bump into me?"
Su Qin shrugged his shoulders and took another sip of wine, "That's your business." β
"Where's Su Yan's diary?" he asked again.
Su Qin looked at him, "You let me see her first." β
As soon as the words fell, the man sneered, "Su Qin, you want to threaten me?"
"How dare you, I just want to see how far my sister can do for her with her desperate pursuit of a man who almost lost her own life. β
......
Liang Shu went to the door of Ni's house as usual the next day, but it was cold outside, and she couldn't stand, so she sat in the dilapidated antique shop diagonally opposite Ni's house for a day.
When Ni Xiuli went out, she went out, the other party had a tough attitude and walked away, she was not annoyed, and continued to go back to the antique shop to sit.
When Ni Xiuli came back, Liang Shu went out to block him again.
Then when it gets late, she goes back to the hotel.
For three days, it was like that.
On the fourth day, Ni Xiuli saw her and was about to go around again, but Liang Shu hugged his arms behind him and called him: "Uncle Ni." β
Ni Xiuli turned around, the woman's face was beautiful, and her eyes were clear.
She smiled, "I'll call you Uncle Ni instead of Ah Sheng, I'm going to leave with his ashes today," Liang Shu walked to Ni Xiuli's side, "I won't come without being completely sure, I know that you have sponsored another child in the past few years, although it is not as good as Ah Sheng, but it is also very good, I am afraid that I don't need to say much, I just want to ask Uncle Ni a wordββ"
Ni Xiuli gritted her teeth so that the cheeks on both sides of her cheeks bulged, and her cloudy eyes looked at her coldly.
Liang Shu smiled decently, "I want to ask you, the dead and the living, which is more important?"
