Chapter 454: Guilt and self-blame

As for Yexing, Xu Dongdong, Shen Long, and Cao Bai who was brought by Xu Dongdong. Their trial lasted longer.

They confessed many sensational criminal facts, and at the same time, they were the most direct tainted witnesses to those incidents. Because of the hospital's test records, the fact that the old man had subjected them to drug coercion since childhood was made public.

Their upbringing, as well as their later criminal paths, have aroused widespread discussion in society.

But many things cannot be viewed simply, singularly, and dividedly. They have been abducted since childhood, experienced inhumane treatment, forced to be trained, and forced to do things that violate morality and law, and deserve sympathy. But the blood of others on their hands is also real.

They deserve sympathy, but even those who sympathize with them feel that they can't accept the existence of such people around them in the short term. Their presence around them will make people feel much less secure about society. As for letting them go directly without acquitting them and entering society. Most of them are even more opposed, should they be used as a model for some people to escape?

But whether it is sympathy or rejection, it is like targeting others. Xu Dongdong and Shen Long were as calm as puppets. There are no waves in the autumn water. Especially Xu Dongdong.

Much of this is due to Yunxi's captivity of her. She thought about it for as long as she lay down. She is not a stupid person, and she has long thought through all kinds of relationships. Including Shen Long and Cao Bai were all brought out by her. Her thoughts are theirs, and they completely rein in their hearts and listen to her thoughts.

If she doesn't care, they don't care, if she doesn't care, they don't care, if she can face it calmly, they can face it calmly.

On the contrary, it is Feng Jiajia who can't face it calmly. She saw Cao Bai eager to gnaw on his bones and eat his flesh. In the courtroom, she jumped up, punched, kicked, bitten and scratched.

Cao Bai was motionless. How competitive it was back then, how calm it is now. He is not afraid of bloodshed, he is afraid of tears. Now he was in tears. A heart-to-heart long conversation with Xu Dongdong had already made him completely change and understand.

The night star finally pulled away Feng Jiajia.

"Jiajia, we are all victims! They weren't who they were then, and we're not who we were then. Let go! Not for others, but for yourself. Let go, and you will be completely liberated. And you still have me!" Nightstar said softly as he took her in his arms.

Feng Jiajia cried loudly. She didn't know who to blame until now, but who was to pay for the physical and mental trauma she had suffered. Who can get her parents back? herself?

Because he didn't have a direct murder in his hands, Nightstar's sentence against him was the lightest and the fastest.

But in the end, Nightstar donated all his family property to the three brothers. He asked Wen Qingshui to establish an education and raising fund for orphans. He wished that there would no longer be children like them to endure the pain they were now suffering.

Wounded hearts need to be soothed. And they can only heal alone.

Xu Dongdong and Shen Long see through the red dust and look down on life. Quietly accept the ** supervision of the transformation. And the place of transformation is Wen Qingshui's three brothers.

Cao Bai has been unable to give up, and he can't stop his mind no matter what. He was in a state of self-denial and guilt every day. In his heart, the killing of everyone was not as heavy as his. The sins of all men are not as deep as his. Others have struggled, hesitated, and hesitated. He is the only one who has been actively doing countless bad things in the pursuit of fame and fortune.

How many times did he come back in the middle of the night, sweating profusely and panting. Emaciation is no longer enough to describe his change. Even the transformation for the public good could not heal the hollowness of his heart.

When he woke up one morning, he had a copy of the Heart Sutra at his bedside, a small booklet, large characters, and detailed annotations. Cao Bai picked it up and flipped through it gently.

——

"Mom—"

Xiao Duoduo happily ran towards Wen Qingshui in the distance. Now she is one and a half years old and walks steadily. The original chubby figure has now become tall and thin. So much so that Wen Qingshui was ridiculed for not being a stepmother at every party.

Wen Qingshui is inspecting the vegetable chain of the three brothers. She really didn't expect to meet her precious daughter.

The original appearance of a strong woman was melted the moment she heard the call of the milky voice. The whole person exudes the radiance of motherhood.

Xiao Duoduo threw himself into his arms, and Wen Qingshui almost fell. Fortunately, Liu Nanping helped her in time.

"Baby, what are you doing?"

"Buy something delicious!"

One sentence made the people next to him laugh.

Hearing so many people laughing next to him, Wen Qingshui remembered the environment he was in. She felt that she had been pregnant and stupid for three years, and she hadn't been strong. Knowing that Xiao Duoduo would not leave her three sentences, she still asked, didn't she let everyone know that her girl was a snack! Everyone is a pit dad and a pit mother, and she is a pit child.

"Duoduo, you go back with your aunt first, and I'll go back later, okay?"

"No, mom hug, I see you, and my brother and sister, I, go!"

Xiao Duoduo spoke very clearly, but after all, he was only a little over a year old, and his expression was not very coherent. But Wen Qingshui, as a mother, still understands!

The first few days she went to the orphanage, and the children were happy to see her. Presumably Xiao Duoduo saw it through TV or some channel.

Little Duoduo likes the children in the welfare home very much. Those children also really like her, love her, and protect her. Although the child is small, she knows who is really good to her. The children in the orphanage treated her sincerely, and she naturally became closer to them.

But thinking of this, Wen Qingshui was a little sad.

Now they can come and go as they please, without fear of someone working against them. But she's also busier. I have less time to spend with my children every day. There are not even as many children as in the orphanage. So Xiao Duoduo is also more clingy to her. That's why my aunt always finds her some videos of her.

Xiao Duoduo hugged her neck tightly, as if he was afraid that she would send her away. There was nothing else in her little heart but her mother. In her world, mom is the most important thing. But what about her? She has to take care of her career, her family, and her social responsibility. At this moment, she put her arms around her, how could she let her down.

So Wen Qingshui took the child and went to the place where he had to go, and adjusted the other inspection work to the next day.

Being held in his mother's arms, Xiao Duoduo was very happy. It's like getting the biggest and most delicious candy in the world. The big eyes like black grapes are also full of brilliance. The soft and cute can make the most cold-blooded people laugh.

"Mom, what is marriage?"

Wen Qingshui was stunned for a moment when asked. How can a child know this?

Uncle Gao always said. ”

Wen Qingshui laughed angrily. This Gao Yi wants to go crazy if he wants to get married now? Even Xiao Duoduo knows it. Can he still be a little in shape?

Thinking of this, Wen Qingshui directly posted a message in the group.

"I want everyone to have dinner at night today, is there anything that can't be done?"

"Is my wife lonely again?" I didn't expect that the first to reply to the message was actually "bacteria". And his flickering avatar is hard to ignore. "Do you want me to go back now?"

"You two are more restrained!" replied this time by Gao Yi.

"Gao Yi, you wait, hold your criticism meeting in the evening!" Wen Qingshui said half-jokingly.

As soon as this news was sent, the group immediately became active. All kinds of people who usually don't talk are bubbling up. Wen Qingshui's mobile phone crackled non-stop.

"Here's the message!" Xiao Duoduo shouted happily.

Wen Qingshui heard this voice on Song Aimin's mobile phone, and Xiao Duoduo must have heard it from there. Then in the next second, Wen Qingshui hurriedly covered the child with both hands, for fear that she would fall or flash her waist. Because it began to spin around her, as if trying to capture the source of that sound. Presumably, she and Song Aimin, the eldest child, have played this game countless times.

——

The backyard of the villa in the evening has become the most joyful ocean in this area. It's early summer, and the temperature is neither cold nor hot, making it the most suitable for friends to gather and play together.

And because Song Xijun is taking care of Wen Qingshui's little cleanliness. Everyone went straight into the back room and started changing their sports equipment. The only thing that is not very sightly is that everyone starts to undress when they enter the gate.

Of course, even if it wasn't for the little cleanliness fetish, everyone would change their clothes as soon as possible. Because the clothes prepared by Song Xijun are too comfortable. Not only is it loose and comfortable, but it is also a cotton fabric that is more cotton than pure cotton, and with such a light and thin design, it is as comfortable to wear on the body as if you were hugging your beloved.

At this moment, the women were already talking and laughing under the pergola. And Tang Bowen and Wei Dong had already moved a large number of grilled chicken wings and meat skewers to the big round table.

Song Aimin suddenly saw the roasted sizzling lamb skewers, and copied them before he could sprinkle the seasoning.

"Bear child, have you washed your hands?"

Tang Bowen hit a handboard, but Song Aimin quickly dodged it. Of course, Song Aimin didn't let go of the meat skewers in his hand.

And just when Tang Bowen watched Song Aimin steal the meat skewers, Xiao Ding had already made a quick move. He held the quick meat skewers in one hand, grabbed another handful of spices in the other, sprinkled them skillfully, and whistled. It's pretty charming.

Just when Tang Bowen wanted to praise Xiaoding and let Song Aimin learn from him. Xiao Ding directly took the meat skewer and walked leisurely. I still walked to the corner to the side, and called to shake and shake by the way. was so angry that Tang Bowen's teeth itched.

Wei Dong just watched from the side and didn't participate. But he is the most infuriating. Because he said cool things.

"I didn't take you today, but you don't have anything left. You might as well give it all to me. At least I'll still receive your personal favor! Alas! Failure, failure!"

"Wei Dong, believe it or not, I'll cut you!" said Tang Bowen and raised the furnace hook again.

"Failure! Failure! It's been another half a year, you and I haven't hugged the beauty yet, we have the same disease, why are we in a hurry?"

"Can I be like you? I'm going to have a wedding, and you don't even have a shadow yet!"

"Fifty steps to laugh and a hundred steps!

"You-"
