The sky was drizzling, the asphalt road was **, and small puddles were glowing under the dim street lamps.

Li Qing stood on the side of the road, waved at the departing off-road vehicle, and then lowered his head, staring at the black flannel pocket in his hand, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Souvenirs? ”

Raising his head and taking a deep breath, Li Qing slowly paced forward along the road. In Xinwan City late at night, the doors of every house are closed, and there are few vehicles on the street, and it is even more difficult to find pedestrians.

Forty minutes later, Li Qing returned to the Third Courtyard of Longxi, went directly to the third floor, and knocked on Xie Yuyan's door.

"Haven't slept yet?"

"No, I've been waiting for you. Xie Yuyan looked at Li Qing, turned around and walked back, "Looking at your dejected appearance, something interesting must have happened." ”

Li Qing then closed the door, followed Xie Yuyan into the ward, pulled a chair from the corner and sat down: "Ram is dead." ”

"Are you sure?"

"Sure. ”

Xie Yuyan was silent for a while before speaking again: "This is nothing unusual, I told you in the ancient building, he washed feng shui. It is better to believe in what it is than to believe in what it does not have. ”

"The body was found by Jiang Demao in a wooded area near Lion Rock, and it was full of worms. I'm going to have to help me find out the whereabouts of Charam this afternoon, I really didn't expect it... If it weren't for Caiyun's reminder, I'm afraid we would have ended up in the same fate. ”

Xie Yuyan said lightly: "You are not included." ”

"Rain and smoke, I've always been afraid. Li Qing tightly grasped Xie Yuyan's soft jade hand, "Almost, it's really just a little... If you and Master Deng become like that, I really can't think about it..."

"Okay, you're a big man, what's going on cranky. Xie Yuyan pursed his lips, and suddenly asked, "What did you just bring in?"

"Oh, this. Li Qing brought the black flannel bag to Xie Yuyan, "Jiang Demao sent me Longxi sustenances, let me take them back to Lingang." ”

"Souvenirs? Xie Yuyan and Li Qing glanced at each other, and there was a smile in their eyes that could not be concealed.

Xie Yuyanping stretched out his jade hand, took the flannel bag and opened it gently, and took out a rectangular cardboard box from it.

"It doesn't look like there will be any surprises. Xie Yuyan said softly.

She unfolded the cardboard box, blinked her beautiful eyes, and quietly stared at the pistol with a dark luster: "It's really an authentic Longxi specialty." ”

Eight o'clock in the morning the next day.

After visiting Deng Shi, Li Qing and Xie Yuyan walked out of the Third Military Region Hospital in Longxi together.

Raising his hand and brushing the hair between his ears, Xie Yuyan said softly: "You should go and see Sister Caiyun, it's a little too ugly to go like this." ”

"I'll talk to her, haven't you promised to leave this matter to me. Li Qing handed Xie Yuyan a reassuring look, "Be careful on the road, call me when you return to Lingang." ”

Li Qing draped his coat over Xie Yuyan's thin shoulders, and told again: "I will go to the hospital for a check-up after I go back, I am always a little uneasy." Also, ultraviolet rays can kill worm eggs, you consult your doctor, if it will not hurt the baby, I recommend you to do it. ”

Xie Yuyan raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Ultraviolet rays, who told you?"

"Qin Zhenyu. Li Qing replied softly, "He said last night that the two soldiers who were bitten by worms..."

"Got it. Xie Yuyan directly interrupted Li Qing's words, waved his hand, and leaned over into the car.

Pulling the car window, Xie Yuyan stared at Li Qing with beautiful eyes, and said slowly: "Don't stay in Longxi for a long time, come back early." ”

"Got it. Li Qing nodded, took half a step back, and waved his hand at Xie Yuyan.

The car started slowly, Xie Yuyan coughed lightly, raised his jade hand and pulled down the window, the corners of his mouth were filled with a touch of mockery mixed with a few helpless smiles: "Ultraviolet rays?

After sending Xie Yuyan away, Li Qing could only spend the next few days in loneliness and boredom. Fortunately, there is still money and dawn, and the two of them can still eat, drink, and chat, and the days can be regarded as fast.

Mr. Deng's condition gradually stabilized, and the doctor said that in another week, he could arrange for a transfer.

When Qian Liming first arrived in Longxi this time, Li Qing explained three things to him, namely looking for three people. One is to find Gu Yue's whereabouts, the second is to find Nick's whereabouts, and the third is to find Ram's whereabouts.

Now that Ram is dead, there is no news from the other two people, which has gradually become a problem for Li Qing. Li Qing didn't care too much about whether Nick was dead or alive, but Gu Yue's whereabouts made him worry about his stomach and couldn't sleep every night.

When he couldn't sleep at night, Li Qing would sneak out of the ward, hold an umbrella, and take a walk along the road. The night in Xinwan City is unusually quiet, without the hustle and bustle of the big city, but it is very suitable for thinking about something.

At half past ten in the evening, Li Qing, who had returned from a walk, returned to the Third Courtyard of Longxi and walked up the stairs.

It was quiet all around, and the rain rolled down the umbrella and dripped gently down the stairs.

When he stepped on the ground on the second floor, Li Qing's body suddenly softened. He turned his head and saw a small figure sitting on the stairs leading to the third floor, looking thin and pitiful in the light.

His face changed slightly, and then the corners of Li Qing's mouth squeezed out a rather reluctant smile: "Cai... Caiyun, it's so late, and you haven't slept yet. ”

"You didn't come to see me. Caiyun bit her thin lips lightly, and stared at Li Qing with big eyes without blinking, "You haven't come to see me for so many days." ”

"I've recently... Maybe a little too busy. Li Qing scratched his head, and as soon as the words came out, even he felt that he was not convincing.

"Li Qing, what do you want?" Caiyun looked at Li Qing quietly, his tone calm and solemn.

Li Qing knew that it was inevitable, so he simply stood the umbrella by the wall and sighed softly. He walked up the steps step by step and sat down beside Caiyun.

Lowering her little head, Caiyun's pretty cheeks flushed slightly: "I'm going to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow." ”

"Well, go home and get healthy. ”

After hesitating for a while, Caiyun leaned over and put his little head on Li Qing's shoulder. Li Qing hesitated, there was a strong sense of complexity in his eyes, but he still couldn't help but dodge.

"We won't see each other again, will we?"

Li Qing nodded: "It should be." ”

"When did you start to get suspicious?"

"Guzhou told me. Li Qing said softly, "He said to me at the time that he couldn't even wake up a ghost who pretended to be asleep..."

"I thought he was just talking casually. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Qing's mouth: "He never talks casually, I know him too well." ”

"Really, what a scary character. ”

Li Qing moved his body: "So, do you admit that Hu Feng was your hand?"

Caiyun raised her little head and stared straight at the deep and empty hospital corridor: "Hmm." ”

"Why?"

"I did something and he found out. Caiyun pursed her lips and muttered, "I'm afraid that when you wake up, you will blame me and probe my details." But now, I'm not afraid of anything. ”

Li Qing was slightly stunned, and then asked slowly, "What did you do?" Can you tell me?"

Caiyun got up and stood in front of Li Qing prettyly: "I killed your good friend, don't you plan to pursue it?"

Li Qing was silent for a moment, and slowly shook his head: "This is what I mean, and it's also what your sister Yuyan means." You saved Yuyan and Deng Shi's lives, and took Hu Feng's life, we don't know what to do. Perhaps pretending to be ignorant is the best option. ”

Caiyun stared at Li Qing in a daze, suddenly leaned down and kissed him on the lips. Then Caiyun turned around, pedaled down the stairs, and tilted his little head to look at Li Qing: "I did something similar at the time, and he found out." ”

"Something similar?" Li Qing stared at the pretty and quiet cheeks of the little girl in front of her, and couldn't help but feel a deep shock in her heart. Hu Feng's death was because he saw this little kiss?

But thinking about it again, Li Qing was also relieved. Under the circumstances at that time, Caiyun's move was really suspicious. If everyone wakes up and Hu Feng confides in this matter, then Caiyun will not only face exposure of her feelings for Li Qing, but also the mysterious background behind her.

Under the circumstances at that time, killing Hu Feng was indeed the best means. But Caiyun would never have thought that Gu Zhou had already seen all this.

Where was Gu Zhou at that time? Li Qing couldn't help but wonder in his heart, did he hide in the dark and quietly observe all this, or did he temporarily leave to take care of Gu Yue?

"Li Qing, if you leave Longxi, will you forget me?"

Li Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm afraid I won't forget it in my life." ”

"Remember what I used to be. Caiyun Wan'er smiled, "Forget about tonight's incident, okay?"

"Okay, I remember what you used to be. ”

"As for the purse I gave you, will you still carry it with you?"

Li Qing nodded: "Yes, I will always carry it with me." ”

"Li Qing, I will also remember your appearance. Caiyun stared at Li Qing with nostalgia in his eyes, stepped back one by one, and finally turned around with a small mouth and ran away.

I'd rather leave an illusory shadow, but I don't want people to remember the truest self, the sadness and pain in it, I'm afraid only Caiyun himself knows.

The small figure turned into the corner of the corridor and disappeared in Li Qing's field of vision. He sighed heavily and raised his hand to cover his forehead.

Li Qing was tired, both his heart and his body were filled with a strong sense of fatigue. As for Caiyun's true origin, he doesn't want to pursue it anymore, so he treats it as a mystery that can never be solved.
