On Friday morning, Mr. Huo said his driver had driven to pick him up at Huxiu.

The two had already made an appointment on the phone, and Yu Xiuxiu had already packed up.

Every time she goes to see Bi Hongye, she will care very much about her image, afraid of being sloppy, and sorry for her entrustment. I am afraid that if I use too much force, it will appear to be tricky, which is incompatible with the prison environment and annoying.

In order to choose clothes, she specially asked Nan Yan to make a reference, and finally chose a set of dresses that were decent and a little playful, which looked older than her actual age, but showed her temperament.

Yu Xiuxiu was very satisfied, went downstairs, opened the car door, and found that the driver was actually the big devil.

She was a little surprised: "What's the situation?"

Huo Zhongnan was dressed in black, wearing sunglasses, his handsome eyebrows and cold lips were sharp and angular, and he tilted his head towards her: "Get in the car." ”

Yu Xiuxiu sat up slowly, fastened his seat belt, "You make me feel very uneasy like this, why are you so serious? We are visiting prisons, not thieves." ”

Huo Zhongnan: "Have you ever seen such a handsome thief?"

"Yes!" Yu Xiuxiu smiled demonically and brushed his hair, "The one that stole my heart." ”

The car shook.

She glanced at her in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Huo Zhongnan: "Next time you confess, don't be so sudden." ”

“......”

Probably because I ate too comfortably for supper last night, the big demon king is in a good mood today, no matter how Yu Xiuxiu hurts him and sours him, he is very cooperative, and he has the cheapness of being beaten by her after hitting the left cheek and taking the initiative to stretch out the right cheek.

Yu Xiuxiu became more and more satisfied with the dog man.

I vaguely feel that this person is much more interesting than the "elder brother" who was sick before.

Go to the prison, the lawyer is waiting.

Huo Zhongnan made an appointment in advance, and the two of them bought some daily necessities for Bi Hongye in advance yesterday. All the formalities were completed, and it didn't take long for them to see Bi Hongye.

She was taken into the visiting room by the correction, her steps were slow, she was old, haggard, her hair was gray, but she was meticulously combed, her clothes were neat and clean, and when she saw Yu Xiuxiu and Huo Zhongnan, she even showed a gentle smile.

The second Yu Xiuxiu saw her, he almost burst into tears.

She noticed that she couldn't look directly at Momiji-sensei.

In this short period of time, she witnessed the woman fall from the height to the bottom, from a well-known painter who was called a lawsuit by everyone to a death row prisoner...... If that's life, it's too sad.

What stimulated her the most was the warm smile in Bi Hongye's eyes. It is difficult for Yu Xiuxiu to understand how a person can see through life when he encounters so many painful things. How many people live well, but are cold to people, and she, if not sitting on the other side of the glass wall, who can imagine that a woman with such a smile is a death row prisoner?

Moreover, she obviously has the opportunity to appeal, but she is unwilling to fight against fate.

"Momiji-sensei!"

The first time Yu Xiuxiu picked up the phone, he choked up.

"Don't cry. Good boy. ”

Bi Hongye's eyes were indifferent, and there was a calmness that was beyond the world.

"How's the house going?"

"It's in soft furnishings. The corners of Yu Xiuxiu's lips lifted, and he tried to squeeze out a smile, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Bi Hongye glanced at Huo Zhongnan, who was sitting beside her, and smiled again, "I have never been so relaxed in my life." I taught them to draw in there, and it was very fulfilling to learn with them. Then, I also painted portraits of my fellow inmates and the correctional officers. It's satisfying to see them happy. It's been a long time since I've painted so purely for the sake of painting. ”

Her calm tone, without the pain of struggling in prison.

Yu Xiuxiu was a little stunned.

Looking at her and listening to her, the tears were a little overwhelming.

In the process of chatting, Bi Hongye never mentioned Ding Yuejin, the man who made her love, hurt and hurt. It makes people feel like she's really come out of those things.

The past is vague, but the crime is still there.

Yu Xiuxiu sighed.

"Mr. Momiji, don't miss the appeal period. ”

Bi Hongye smiled: "Killing people pays for life, it is justified, I deprived others of their lives out of righteous indignation, this is the punishment that should be received." ”

After a pause, she looked at the tears in Yu Xiuxiu's eyes and chuckled.

"I don't regret doing this, but the principles still have to be followed. ”

"It's a right given to you by law. If the law allows you to do that, that's right. ”

"I don't allow it. Bi Hongye smiled, "Don't say it again, what you want to say, Qu Feng's girl has already said it." Hugh, my mind is set. Now I am very calm, accept fate, accept the arrangement, everything is fate. ”

“......”

Yu Xiuxiu choked in his throat and couldn't speak.

Huo Zhongnan held her shoulder and took the phone.

"Teacher Bi. His voice was sparse, far less emotional than Yu Xiuxiu, but it sounded calm and comfortable.

Bi Hongye could feel that this was a person who could communicate.

"Do you want to persuade me too?"

"Nope. Huo Zhongnan said: "I respect your ideas. ”

"Thank you!" Bi Hongye was a little surprised, looked into his eyes, and said with a smile, "What do you want to ask me?"

This is really a good man who is wise, gentle and understanding.

Huo Zhongnan felt a little pity in his heart: "Yes." I don't know if it's inconvenient. ”

Bi Hongye: "Say it." ”

Huo Zhongnan went straight to the topic: "Xiong Wenfeng, who wrote "Wangshan", do you know him?"

There was a flash of surprise in Bi Hongye's eyes, and even Yu Xiuxiu turned his head to look at him.

Huo Zhongnan's hand fell and placed it on Yu Xiuxiu's waist, soothing it slightly.

"I hope my question doesn't make you uncomfortable. ”

"No, it won't. Bi Hongye quickly regained his composure, "I have known him since childhood, and our two families were neighbors when we were children, and our relationship has always been very good. Later, when I went to the mountains and went to the countryside, I fell ill and escaped. After he went to the countryside, we were separated for many years, and the contact gradually decreased, until he returned to the city. ”

Huo Zhongnan listened quietly.

Bi Hongye glanced at him, "What do you want to know? It can't be to understand him as a person, right?"

Huo Zhongnan looked at the time on his wrist, "How much do you know about him?"

Bi Hongye narrowed his eyes, "A lot." ”

Huo Zhongnan nodded, "You have a good relationship. ”

"The years he went back to the city were not satisfactory. On the one hand, he has to send living expenses to his wife and children in the countryside, and on the other hand, he has to take care of the rations of his daughter-in-law and children in the city. Life is not easy, and they often look for me. ”

"Do you know where he went?"

Bi Hongye shook his head, "He was very unhappy when his family changed that year, and he couldn't write anything for half a year." He was anxious and said he wanted to find a quiet place to live alone and find inspiration. The day before leaving, he called me to say goodbye. After that, I was never contacted again. ”

"What happened to his family?"

Bi Hongye's eyes darkened, "This is his privacy, it's inconvenient for me to say." It probably has something to do with the relationship between husband and wife. ”

"Understood. His daughter-in-law steals. ”

“......”

Bi Hongye was stunned, and shook his head with a gentle smile.

The daughter-in-law complained that he took care of his wife and children in the countryside and did not care about his family. The relationship between husband and wife is not very good. They often quarrel and even fight. Otherwise, I don't know too much. ”

There are deeper things that others really don't necessarily know except for their husband and wife.

Huo Zhongnan was silent.

and Bi Hongye looked at each other for a moment.

"Did he mention "Wangshan" to you?"

Bi Hongye frowned and thought for a while: ""Wangshan" is his proud work, and the emotions he poured into this book are almost to the point of madness, of course, he has mentioned it many times. He was not satisfied with the ending, and repeatedly revised dozens of drafts, and finally changed himself into a mess......"

She inhaled, sighed again.

"So, they said he was missing, maybe something had happened, and he had died out a long time ago. I never thought so. He may have gone into hiding to write the ending of his "Wangshan", and he may still be dissatisfied and still competing with himself. I just don't want to come back. ”

This explanation is far-fetched.

Under normal circumstances, how can there be a person who has not been in touch with home for many years?

But the artist's thoughts are difficult for outsiders to understand, and Bi Hongye said calmly, as if there was such a thing.

Yu Xiuxiu's curiosity also came out, "Mr. Hongye, did he tell you where to find a quiet place?"

"The police once asked me this question. Bi Hongye smiled: "He only said that he was going to the south." ”

Uh, that's so big to the south.

Yu Xiuxiu asked, "Did you say what he likes?"

Bi Hongye frowned, "Lijiang, Erhai, he always likes these romantic places." ”

Huo Zhongnan's hand suddenly tightened, and Yu Xiuxiu looked at him puzzled.

I heard him say again, "Have you read the manuscript of Wangshan?"

Bi Hongye didn't seem to expect him to ask such a question, his expression froze, and he smiled.

"To tell you the truth, I'm probably the only reader who has read the second half of "Wangshan". You didn't come to me today just to ask about this book, did you?"

"I want to know the content. ”
