Chapter 108: Dust
The gears of the times are slowly advancing under the impetus of billions of people, carved with every period of time, every wisp of dust and smoke in the rivers and lakes, and at a certain point, this gear no longer really turns, but leaves a blank.
By the time the huge gear turned again, it was already three months later.
In the long history, three months is undoubtedly a short time like a moment in a million, but the impregnable city wall often collapses in an instant overnight most of the time, and then cannot be repaired, and all the glory of the past will be buried in a ruin.
This is history, and the cruel truth is made up of scars and blood.
In the midst of the ruins, a green umbrella is small and insignificant, which is the overflow of this blank history after several consecutive nights of heavy rain.
It has been a whole month since the collapse of the Jupu Building, and the dust has already been buried in another section of dust, perhaps because of the touching scene, this woman named Guo Qingyi can still clearly smell a trace of blood from the air, although this smell of blood is mixed with the smell of heavy rain and is imperceptible, but it is still imprinted, and it is engraved in such a place.
Stretching his hand out of the green umbrella, Guo Qingyi frowned slightly and muttered, "This is the result you want to see?"
The dust finally settled, but the ending was beyond everyone's expectations, this is an ending that no one guessed, perhaps, the collapse of Jupu has proven everything, that Zeng Jingcheng's three major martial artists can't do it, and finally someone has done it harder, but in another way.
Maybe continuing to stay in this place will only increase sentimentality, Guo Qingyi turned around, and under the heavy rain, he seemed to see a rickety figure, perhaps, it was just an illusion.
From the rise of Jupu to the collapse of the bureau, it may be only the last moment and the last second in history, but it is just such a moment that countless people in this river and lake have fallen under this highness one after another, should it be said to be tragic or sad?
As the last witness of this period of history, Guo Qingyi thinks that she is not qualified to evaluate, she is incomplete, just like the person who weaves this story, how can she have a clear conscience.
"Just so bear to let this story end here?" Guo Qingyi asked the rickety man in front of him, and his voice sounded heartbreaking.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was bitterly cold, and the man who exposed himself to the rain curtain did not move at all, coming alone, existing alone, and finally leaving alone, what a sad person this is.
Without answering, Guo Qingyi continued: "Poor fellow, you can only live by mercy. ”
The rickety man raised his head, it was a very ordinary face, so ordinary that people thought that it had nothing to do with this story, and perhaps no one would ever understand how heavy this story was in this man's heart.
When he closed his eyes, he could think of everything about this story, those who were surging with his own blood, those who were clearly alive, and he was just accompanying this story to such a regret, completely swallowing him up at this time.
Guo Qingyi walked to the side of the man, who was not as tall as himself, and supported the green umbrella on the top of the man's head, but exposed himself to the heavy rain.
"Tired?" The woman whose sharpness might be beyond the reach of Ma Gentleness was extraordinarily soft at this time, as if the breeze was blowing in the worst weather.
The man nodded slightly, his face was like rain, like tears, he seemed to be torn out of the pain of the wound, unable to live, and alive forever.
Guo Qingyi stretched out his hand and gently stroked his cheek, and then said softly: "Sleep, a long dream, life is like this, most people don't know why they live, and most people are still alive, there are demons and monsters in the world, remember, there is no return, idealism is eternal." ”
As she spoke, she hugged the cold man and followed the man towards the catastrophe.
I still have a story to tell her, but I haven't even told her story.
When will the rivers and lakes be able to bloom? And the seeds have already spread all over the world.
It's been a two-day rainstorm, and there's always someone who needs to thrive in the worst of weather.
Maybe this storm is portending something, and Zhao Pixiu believes that after this rainstorm, it represents the grievances and blood of the previous era, which will be completely washed away, ushering in a new era.
A cigarette was smoked to the end, Zhao Pixiu rubbed his bloodshot eyes, he imagined that this story had nothing to do with him, but this became the point he couldn't let go of the most.
"That building has fallen, do you think he is still alive?" Wang Doudou asked behind Zhao Pixiu, this little girl with a lot of spirituality, also had a haggard look on her face at the moment.
Zhao Pixiu, who was already extremely silent in his heart, forcibly squeezed out a smile at this moment, shook his head and said, "As far as I know, that man will definitely not just fall like this." ”
"I heard that he was seen entering the sea of fire that night, and he was trying to bring out a man, but he never came out again. Wang Doudou said with a disappointed expression, she was not mature enough to deceive herself.
Zhao Pixiu's body was trembling slightly, just as no one could have imagined that Luo Qingcang's empire would be uprooted, and no one thought that a building would collapse with a bang, everything happened in just three months, and now he was just curious about how much things happened on the night of the fire in Jupu.
Someone will always pay for it all.
Zhao Pixiu handed a cigarette to the wet man next to him at this time, the man hesitated for a moment, but still took it, and the two lit it together, and the girl behind him, who was originally natural, just held his chin and looked at the backs of the two, feeling a lot.
"Hey, what are you going to do next? Zhao Pixiu was a little more cunning at the moment, maybe this was just his disguise for this uninvited guest.
This man just gulped down a cigarette, like an old smoking gun that had been held for too long, and he neglected to answer Zhao Pixiu's question for a while.
"It's going to be clear. The man muttered.
Outside the window, this torrential rain that lasted for a few days gradually stopped because of the man's words, and Zhao Pixiu, who witnessed all this, was not surprised at all, but just smoked a cigarette and said: "A good game of chess, you played badly." ”
The man lowered his head, only the cigarette in his hand was burning.
"I'm always saying that I don't have a choice, and in the end, it's just an excuse, and there are some things that I can't take. The man finally spoke, and there was a thick decline in his voice.
"It's a little resentful, but in the final analysis, you're not a heinous one, I'll wait for you to come back on this road. Zhao Pixiu suddenly smiled a little relieved, and the man next to him had already disappeared, as if he had never appeared,
Wang Doudou, who was behind him, asked, "He will really come back." ”
"I know him, he will definitely come back, how can I forget this Jianghu. Zhao Pixiu said, with an absolute firmness in his eyes.
After the rain was clear, a woman in Wutang put a beautiful purple sand cup on the big bluestone on the side of the small fish pond, and watched a few koi fish swimming around in the fish pond.
This woman named Yue Baihua has become a rare woman in the capital who has witnessed the changes of two generations, but in the end, she is just an outsider, if she is the closest to this period of history, then it is undoubtedly when she fights Zhou Yanhua.
Let's ask a woman who can fight back and forth with Zhou Yanhua, in this capital, I really can't find a few, but if I really pull it, I can't count it on one hand.
At this time, a burly man like a bear entered the martial arts, this man who is often called a stupid donkey by Liu Aoyang, now his expression is extremely serious, and the stupidity on his face on weekdays has long been gone, maybe this Jianghu can let him leave behind all the smirking people, and he can no longer find one.
"This position, you have to do it, even if it is purely to fight for a breath, you need to sit, and you can't make people think that there are no descendants behind the old man. Yue Baihua said at this time, she was still a little unaccustomed to this senior brother who had suddenly undergone earth-shaking changes, but it was indisputable that the current Tang Baichuan already had everything that a real strong man should have.
Tang Baichuan nodded quietly, and said solemnly: "If I go over for the master that night, it will be fine." ”
Yue Baihua shook his head and said: "He has already made a decision in his heart, for him, after that era has passed, if he is still alive, it is the cruelest thing for him, how do you want him to go down and face those people who are lying below?"
After listening to this, Tang Baichuan stopped speaking, on the night of the collapse of Jupu, what happened, everything was covered with a veil of mystery, and Liu Aoyang, who rushed alone, never came back, this man who once stood at the top of the capital's military value was like a light feather, buried in the waves of the times, and there was no trace of it for a long time, and it would even give people a feeling that everything was over.
A cool breeze blew, and at the other end of the fish pond, the man was also looking at the cheerful koi.
Yue Baihua's expression slowly changed, and Tang Baichuan beside him was no longer full of anger.
"There is an old saying in the rivers and lakes, where there are lights, there are people, and there are people who have rivers and lakes. Yue Baihua said to the man standing opposite.
"With rivers and lakes, there are also grievances. The man said.
"Will there ever be a day when this rivers and lakes will be completely forgotten?" Yue Baihua's expression was a little more sentimental, perhaps it was a woman's intuition, what she felt in the dark.
"There may be a day, but I will never see that day, it's my smallest commitment and my biggest commitment. The man said, always affectionate when others teased him.
"You still haven't learned a lesson. Yue Baihua frowned and said, as if she didn't like the way the man in front of her spoke.
"Isn't it hard enough, isn't it true enough?" the man asked rhetorically.
The next moment, a bitter smile appeared on Yue Baihua's face, and she shook her head slightly and said, "Come back often, no matter where you are, this river and lake is only under your feet after all." ”
The man nodded, and Tang Baichuan arched his hand at this time.
There will be a period later!
Is it really a post-session?
A black Mercedes-Benz S400 was speeding on the highway leaving the capital, and the farther and farther Beijing appeared in the rearview mirror, while the face of the man sitting in the back seat did not change in the slightest.
In the capital, there was a huge storm, or the purest blood change, and this time, the Guo family was not lucky, this time, the Guo family did not become the beneficiary of this change, on the contrary, the Guo family became a victim.
In the huge tide of the times, the Guo family is like a lonely boat full of devastation, overturned, torn apart, and erased without leaving any trace.
And the one driving at the moment is Guo Qingzi, a young man who can usually be described as accumulating, he is the same as Guo Qihu, only the last Guo family to leave the capital, and the destination of the two is Mengcheng, which is also the place where Guo Qilin, who used to be scorned by Guo Hongniu, is located, so a large number of surviving people of the Guo family went to the person who was abandoned by the Guo family, which may be considered an irony.
The Guo family finally folded in his own hands, Guo Qihu became a sinner, a complete sinner, but at this moment, Guo Qihu's expression was exceptionally calm, perhaps at the moment when the Guo family was completely destroyed, the heaviest thing in his heart was gradually relieved.
"The Guo family, defecting in this storm of the times is inevitable and not a bad thing. Guo Qingzi said an unprecedented sentence at this time, which may also be Guo Qihu's inner thoughts at this moment.
Hearing this, Guo Qihu didn't refute anything, he just looked at the disappeared capital through the rearview mirror, and then said: "This is all fate, who can see through this thing? After this turmoil, how many pseudo-families will tear off their fur and take root in the capital? And how many people have fallen? Could it be that those who have fallen have done wrong? Those who survive are all good people?"
Guo Qingzi no longer spoke, in just three months, he completely witnessed the collapse of the Guo family, which is a collapse without warning, and even without reason.
"After I got to Inner Mongolia and got down, I planned to go to Xiaoxinganling. Guo Qingzi said at this time.
Guo Qihu listened, just looked at Guo Qingzi with deep taste.
Guo Qingzi said to himself: "I also want to see what the sea of stars that fascinates my sister is like." ”
"Go, this time, no one will stop you from giving you any freedom, you have enough for this family, and now you need to live for yourself. Guo Qihu said with great relief.
Maybe Guo Qihu thinks that he knows very well that no matter whether he agrees or not, the man in front of him will leave, it is better to let go indifferently at this time, he no longer wants to see the second Guo Yinling-style tragedy happen in the Guo family.
"When you see her, do you want to tell her everything in the capital?" asked Guo Qingzi, a question that particularly bothered him.
Guo Qihu shook his head without hesitation and said: "Don't tell her anything, just let the Guo family be in her heart, still the Guo family, and she will not regret it in her life." ”
Guo Qingzi nodded knowingly, and then buried his head in the beginning, looking at the distance in the dark, his heart suddenly opened up, his life, at this time, seemed to have just begun.
Years later, he called that time when he was so wasted that he didn't know what he was living for lost that time.
Guo Qihu in the back seat didn't close his eyes for a long time, maybe he was waiting for something, the phone rang at this time, Guo Qihu looked at the number that was not marked, and put it to his ear.
If Guo Hongniu knew all this, would he think that he had done something wrong? What he had spent all his life in poverty was more eternal than the brilliant starlight of that little koi. The man on the other side of the phone said, as if he was sighing and ironic.
Guo Qihu just took a deep breath, then lit a cigarette, looked at the burning tobacco, and silently pondered for a long time before he spoke: "Whether it is a brilliant star, or a lifetime of poverty, it will eventually become the dust in that piece of gunsmoke, it is not worth mentioning, and no one praises anything for it, but you, do you really plan to let this story end here?"
"I can't help myself. The man opposite said, with too many complex emotions in his voice, just like this man's life, illusory, confused and fragile.
"Is it involuntarily, or is it a sin?" Guo Qihu easily saw through the man's heart.
"The latter. The man said these two words sincerely.
"I'm waiting for you to continue to write such a thing, if I still have a chance to see it. Guo Qihu clicked until now.
"Guo Qihu, I'm waiting for you in a bright place. The man suddenly spoke with great firmness.
Guo Qihu, on the other hand, hung up the phone silently, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be slightly raised.
If there is no sin, how can there be a willow and a flower.
The capital may never again drift away from the heavy snow of the year.
In the midst of this turmoil, the tower stood like a statue on the roof of the building for a long time, until the whole sky became dead silence, and there was a sound behind him.
The person who came was Chang Bin, the head of the middle branch, who bowed slightly behind Wang Tieta and said: "The dust has settled in the capital, and the big boss means to let Lijing continue to operate, and he can not blame the past for what happened a few days ago." ”
When he said this, Chang Bin's expression was very bad, extremely bad.
Wang Tieta's face was expressionless, in this life, although he was born in poverty, there were more ups and downs than smooth sailing, but he never regretted anything, it was like this, and it will be the same in the future, in order to have such a clear conscience in these four words, he can give up the future of his life, and he is willing to give up the position he has struggled for all his life.
"Just a few hours ago, Old Monster Sun died. Wang Tieta finally spoke, but what he said was something else entirely.
Chang Bin's brows furrowed even more, and he said with a bitter face: "Old man, why did he go to that muddy water." ”
Wang Tieta didn't answer, although he already had the answer in his heart.
"Now the three major martial artists, Liu Aoyang was pressed in Jupu, Old Man Sun died in the eastern suburbs, and Zhao Wutong's whereabouts are still unknown, Tang Baichuan has inherited Liu Aoyang's position, someone has tried the stupid donkey, but no one can hold up for thirty moves, it seems that Tang Baichuan will sit firmly in the position of the three major martial artists in the capital in the past few years, after all, he is Liu Aoyang's land, and his name is justified. And the other meaning of the big boss is to help you sit in the position of the three major martial artists, so that he can better operate behind the scenes. Although these words were harsh enough, Chang Bin still said stubbornly, he knew that it was not a bad thing to explain the words, whether it was good for him or for Wang Tieta, and he knew very well that Wang Tieta had no choice at all now.
"There are still people behind Sun Jianfeng, I'm just an obstacle who was expelled from the division, Sun Jianfeng is dead, naturally someone will go up to his position, it's not my turn, and it shouldn't be me. Wang Tieta said, lighting a cigarette in the wind.
"My story, in such a river and lake, has come to an end, at best, it is just a martial artist, Sun Jianfeng, an unwritten apprentice, that's all. After Wang Tieta finished speaking, he turned around and left the rooftop of Lijing, and Chang Bin behind him had too many things in his expression, and he couldn't help but stop Wang Tieta.
"You can't get out of Lijing, even if you walk out of Lijing, you can't get out of the capital. ”
"What I'm afraid of is that I can't get out of this world. Wang Tieta had only one answer.
Chang Bin was stunned, he found that the gap between him and Wang Tieta was not only the force value, but also a realm, and he asked a question that he didn't ask now, and I am afraid that he would not have the opportunity to ask again in the future: "That night, why did you save Xu Wolong?"
This time, Wang Tieta stood in place, as if he was also thinking about why, and finally said: "Probably for such a woman." ”
Chang Bin's face was a little unbearable, but before he could speak again, Wang Tieta had already stepped off the rooftop.
At the staircase, a young man was already waiting for Wang Tieta, and when he saw Wang Tieta coming down, he immediately went up and said, "Brother Wang, I'll go with you." ”
Wang Tieta looked at Liuzi, shook his head silently, and then said, "Stay, one day you will figure out that staying today is the right thing to do." ”
Faced with such a sentence, Liuzi was speechless.
And Wang Tieta has left here, entered the elevator, and left this place where he has lived for nearly ten years, and he can't find any nostalgia in his eyes, but has become a kind of determination.
Perhaps the originally indestructible heart has undergone monstrous changes in the past three months.
People come and go in Lijing, everyone avoids this man who was at the top of Lijing, he just walked indifferently, step after step, and at the moment when Wang Tieta was about to step out of Lijing, the mobile phone rang.
I answered the phone, and the familiar voice came from the other side.
"Step out, but you will never come back, Wang Tieta, I have always thought that we are very compatible, people always have to pay for what they do, sometimes a moment of persistence, often take a person's life. ”
Wang Tieta shook his head, he knew that the man on the other side of the phone was looking at him at the moment, hung up the phone, and finally stepped out of the beautiful scene.
On a sunny day in March in the capital, when did a drizzle suddenly start.
The rivers and lakes are always indispensable for people with broken intestines.
Wang Tieta finally fell into the arms of a woman wearing a long skirt, he survived the heavy snow, but he couldn't escape the warm spring peach blossoms.
At this moment, Peng Taohua had already cried into tears, because the man in his arms, who was covered in blood, had buried everything for her.
This is a man who bets everything to bet on a woman's love and hate, and the tears on this woman's face at the end seem to prove that this man has not lost.
Unlike Peng Taohua, the one who was already dying, his expression was so peaceful, maybe at the end of his life, he finally smelled the fragrance of peach blossoms.
"In the end, what he can't let go of is not this Jianghu, but you. Next to these two people, there was a man with a sad expression, he looked at the man and woman hugging each other, there were too many things in his expression, it was a kind of emotion that could not be expressed in words.
"You shouldn't have existed in this river and lake from the beginning, you ruined this river and lake!" Peng Taohua blushed and threatened.
The man's hand kept clenching his fist and loosening, his eyelids were twitching, he nodded silently and said: "If all this is a mistake, and it is also a mistake that I love deeply, since I can't forget that beginning, why not forget such an ending?"
Peng Taohua didn't answer, just hugged the person in her arms tightly, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stop the temperature that dissipated from this man's body.
No more, no one accompanied her to see the blood-red peach blossoms.
"Peng Taohua, I'm sorry. The man sighed for a long time.
And the two of them have long since disappeared, but the flowers on a peach tree are blooming incomparably.
In the northern city, it is much more difficult to smoke and rain, Zhou Bingcheng came to the mourning hall under the drizzle, knelt down, and then the big drops of tears kept falling, this man who is usually not speechless, crying like a child who has lost all his beloved things.
Minister Wang and the others who followed closely looked at Zhou Bingcheng, who was kneeling on the ground and his shoulders were trembling, with a bitter face, they didn't help, and let Zhou Bingcheng vent in his own way, because they knew very well what Sun Jianfeng's status in Zhou Bingcheng's heart, this kind of pain, only time can slowly take it away.
Minister Wang, who rarely quit smoking for a month, smoked a cigarette again, and Zhu Sha next to him did not clean up the fat man for the first time, and the two of them silently stayed by Zhou Bingcheng's side.
This small circle, after several twists and turns, only the three of them remained, in the three months in the capital, too many things have happened, they are lucky, they have become witnesses of the changes of the last era, not victims, but despite this, such a thing still happened.
I don't know how long it took, Zhou Bingcheng finally got up, as if he had made a great determination, turned his head and said to Zhu Sha and Minister Wang behind him, "I plan to stay." ”
Minister Wang nodded, and then said, "We respect your choice, but if you need us in the future, feel free to speak." ”
Zhou Bingcheng nodded silently, stepping into this river and lake that only belongs to martial artists, it was like his fate, no matter where he was hiding, he couldn't break free, and in the end, when he was the only one who could let go, he chose to accept it.
It was time for Minister Wang and Zhu Sha to leave Sun Jianfeng's mourning scene, this drizzle had stopped, and the two stood silently on the side of the busy street, and did not leave in a hurry.
From the circle that was not big or small at the beginning, to now there are only the two people who should leave, and Minister Wang, a rough man, is also in a rare mood with a little sentimentality.
"What are your plans for the future?" Minister Wang regained his spirits again, he did not want to be crushed by this kind of sadness.
Zhu Sha shook her head, at this moment she has reached the crossroads of her life, but at this moment she is a little envious of Zhou Bingcheng, who is suffering from a kind of torture at the moment, she envies Zhou Bingcheng who has found the direction of life, and she is still hovering at this height.
"This city needs at least a year to breathe after this storm, and there is always something to be done before the pattern is decided, and I am afraid that I will regret missing this opportunity in my life and never meet a second opportunity in my life. Jusa said, though it wasn't her intention, maybe she just wanted a disguise.
Minister Wang nodded, understanding what Zhu Sha meant, and he muttered, "Good thing, good thing..."
"What are your plans?"
Minister Wang was silent for a while, and then said in an old-fashioned manner: "I'm a little tired of this piece of human love, I don't have much ambition, and I'd rather be a carefree fool when I can't starve to death for the rest of my life." ”
Jusha listened, but did not answer.
"Isn't it a little disappointing for you?" Minister Wang seemed to understand Zhu Sha's thoughts.
"Expected. Zhu Sha sighed, she realized that this circle was finally completely broken, it was this era that tore this small circle apart, and it was this river and lake that tore off the bonds between them.
Minister Wang also understood in an instant, then looked up at the gray sky and said: "I plan to go to Xiaoxinganling, to meet her, to see what kind of magic that sky has, and then follow all the way to the west, wherever I can go." ”
"Say a word to Yinling for me. Zhu Sha said.
"You say yes. ”
"Tell her that she didn't do anything wrong. ”
Minister Wang nodded, wanting to say something again and again, but he forcibly held back all the words in his heart, walked towards the flow of people, and separated from Zhu Sha.
Some people stopped in place, some jumped into the sea of fire, some people went through a thousand kinds of suffering, some people messed up the red dust, and some people saw sentient beings.
Zhu Sha stood there for a long time, rubbing her eyes, maybe this cold woman would inadvertently enter a small grain of sand in her eyes.
She said to the man who had been crouching beside her for a long time, "Are you finally as alone as I am?"
The man's expression was not sad, just a little lonely, it was an empty space after the prosperity, he nodded and said: "In the future, live a little more for yourself, although you can't become that good person, but at least you won't become a completely bad person." ”
A cold smile appeared on Zhu Sha's face, and she silently said something guilty.
=============
Some were burned to ashes in the raging fire, and others were reborn in the fire.
The Mu family has grown from a pseudo-second-tier family in the capital to a well-known and deep-rooted family, a process that may take generations of struggle, but this time, it only took three months.
This is an opportunity for a family, not an individual.
As the most outstanding contributor to this battle, Mu Changqing did not participate in today's celebration banquet, but left the Mu family silently.
Away from the hustle and bustle, Mu Changqing drove alone and stopped in front of a pear garden, where the boss was particularly enthusiastic about this straight man in a suit, because when his pear orchard was facing bankruptcy, it was this mysterious man who he didn't know who appeared and unconditionally donated a large sum of money to let him get through the difficulties.
Now this pear orchard has become the largest pear orchard in the entire capital, and the mysterious shaper behind this will come once a month in a low-key manner, after coming just standing in the pavilion in the pear orchard to smoke a few cigarettes, and then ask the boss when the flowers will bloom, and then leave in a hurry.
This has always been the case.
And the reason why the boss is particularly excited today is that in this drizzle, the pear blossoms in the garden have bloomed.
When the man heard the news, he just smiled slightly, then sat on the edge of the pavilion, lit a cigarette, and looked at the blooming pear blossoms in his eyes, as if he showed a childlike smile.
The beautiful scenery in front of him, he wanted to see it with her.
When a cigarette was finished, he looked up at the sky and muttered as if to himself, "Pear Blossom, I miss you." ”
Maybe she was also listening, the breeze stirred the pear blossoms of the tree, and Mu Changqing's cheeks slid a few tears.
In the air, there seems to be an ethereal song wafting up, the sea of bitterness... Love and hate... Inevitable fate...
In fact, she left this river and lake with everything, not empty-handed. A man standing next to Mu Changqing said, this rickety man looked at the flawless pear blossom in front of him with affection.
Sadly, she never saw it again. Mu Changqing let out a long sigh, a little regretful.
"For her, is it already difficult to turn the sea into water, except that Wushan is not a cloud. The man said, as if he knew the story very well.
Mu Changqing just smiled lightly, and then said, "May you not forget that person." ”
"If I had forgotten her, I wouldn't have appeared here, but Mu Changqing, congratulations on your current position in a position worthy of your father's infinite pride. ”
Mu Changqing's expression of relief gradually became lonely, he shook his head slightly and said: "Even though I have crossed that hurdle and seen too many storms in the rivers and lakes, in the end, it is just a night when people are far away and worried, but I miss the wind and rain of pear blossoms. ”
"Don't worry, she must be watching now, becoming a proud you, looking at the vibrant Mu family. The man said, this time, how can there be a little more sarcasm, perhaps, it is rare to have a little resentment again.
This time, Mu Changqing smiled genuinely, maybe he was not the only one who was thinking about such a person.
The pear blossoms in the place where the wind and clouds are mixed are still in full bloom.
A prosperous past, Mu Jiu** sat on the sofa, watching everyone disperse, at this moment Yang Fenghuo returned to the hall, leaned over and whispered in Mu Jiutai's ear: "Changqing has gone to the pear orchard." ”
Mu Jiutai nodded silently, and did not blame anything for Mu Changqing not attending this important occasion, but just muttered: "He can't let go of the pear blossom in his heart after all." ”
Yang Fenghuo looked at the loss in Mu Jiutai's eyes, he knew very well that the Mu family was not only the only one who did not let go of Mu Lihua.
The kind woman who smiled like a breeze never left.
=========
It seems to be far away from the family courtyard of the turmoil in the capital, and this huge wave that swept the entire rivers and lakes does not seem to have happened here The story of the fire at the city gate and the fish in the pond did not occur.
Guo Lingti looked straight in the courtyard, and the white-haired old man in front of him was trimming a pot of Junzi Orchid, but his pale and trembling hands did not deviate in the slightest.
"The capital, the wind and rain have finally passed, the three major martial artists have all fallen, the bureau has disintegrated, and the Qing city has replaced the position of the bureau pool, and I still can't believe that the bureau that has dominated the rivers and lakes for so long has completely collapsed. Guo Lingti said, although he was only a bystander of this storm, he could clearly feel how shocking this storm was.
The white-haired old man didn't speak, just put down the pruning pliers in his hand, straightened his waist with his hands behind his back and said: "In the future, Qingcheng will one day fall like this, competing for fame and fortune, materialistic desires are rampant, just a handful, most people have become victims of this chase game, you should really look at the photo wall on the top of Jupu, Jupu is not absolute justice, on the contrary, Qingcheng is not, but this Jianghu needs Jupu, and needs Qingcheng, this huge net, every link, is indispensable." ”
Guo Lingti had a teachable expression, he inexplicably remembered the little green snake, and couldn't help asking, "I heard that the woman is not dead." ”
"How could she die, if she died in Jupu, there would be no meaning, that night, there were only four people who survived. The white-haired old man said, obviously this old man who stayed at home knew something that the rivers and lakes could not know.
Guo Lingti couldn't believe it, but he didn't dare to ask these terrible names directly.
"A green snake, a bastard, a blind woman, and a lone wolf, this is what is left of Jupu, Guo Lingti, I didn't see through this ending, but thought it was an opportunity. The white-haired old man muttered, and what he said was particularly strange.
Guo Lingti just stood in place in a daze, thinking about something, and finally suddenly became brighter, but the shock in his eyes became even stronger.
"Go and pour me a cup of tea. At this time, the white-haired old man said.
Guo Lingti took the order to leave, at this moment, he would rather not hear the white-haired old man just now, he knew that he still couldn't forget such a river and lake, or a grudge.
With Guo Lingti leaving, a man walked up to the white-haired old man, his expression was a little submissive, and he could see that he respected the white-haired old man from the bottom of his heart.
"What do you want to ask?" asked the white-haired old man.
"What should I do next?" The man looked confused, like a child who couldn't find a direction, and he couldn't reach the realm of losing his soul, and he wasn't too passable.
"I can't answer this question, or no one can answer you, all the paths, you have already decided, no matter how I do, you won't do it, you just want to determine from my mouth whether the obsession in your heart is right or wrong, what is right? You have not lost enough? What if you are wrong? Will you choose any way back?"
Seeing that his mind was guessed like this, the man silently lowered his head.
"Follow your heart, in the world, there are a few people like you, in such a world, it is not the most terrible thing to let others down, time will always let these wounds heal, but the one thing that lives up to yourself will only become more intense with time. The white-haired old man may have given his own answer.
Answer...
The man muttered, at this time, Guo Lingti walked out of the room with a cup of tea, handed over the tea, Guo Lingti asked inexplicably: "Old man, has anyone been here?"
Taking a sip of bitter tea, the white-haired old man shook his head slightly.
"No one has ever come. ”
=========
It's really never been before.
Li Hongzhu stood alone in front of the tombstone, which was as lonely as her in the huge cemetery, isolated and abrupt.
Since this tombstone was erected in this place, no one in the Li family has mentioned it again, although this tombstone is a name that once made the Li family proud.
The man buried in this place is named Li Fusheng, which is the name given by his grandfather.
Li Hongzhu rubbed her eyes, she suddenly found something from the tombstone, and the next moment, tears almost burst out of her eyes, and on the bare tombstone, there were three silver bells neatly placed.
Li Fusheng finally got Guo Yinling.
Not far away, Li Shuijie, who had never approached, looked at such a scene with an unchanged expression and muttered a few words.
In other words, it is fate... In short... Fate...
In March, the ice and snow in the Xiaoxing'an Mountains have not melted.
A group of laughing children chased in the courtyard in front of the primary school, one of whom was a child with a pot lid named Sichuan.
Among the teachers, on the old teacher's desk, a woman is making circles on a test paper, but this woman with delicate facial features has a pair of extremely rough hands.
Finally finished correcting the last paper, she got up and took off her glasses, walked to the teacher's window and looked at the group of innocent children, a few smiles slowly appeared on her face, and there were three silver bells missing from the windowsill.
In the end, for that man, she crossed the mountains and seas, returned to this small village, and became Guo Yinling, whom the man loved deeply.
Life is always worse than fairy tales, but it will always be deeper than fairy tales.
In the courtyard, among the old porcelain jars, there are a few small herring fish swimming quickly, full of vitality.
======
It will never experience a trace of vicissitudes in the rivers and lakes again.
In the small restaurant that was late at night but had never closed, a drunk man was lying on the table with hazy eyes, really drunk.
"Erlong, bring wine to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu wants to drink. The drunkard said something in his mouth, and the two dragons on the side were helpless.
Seeing that Erlong didn't give himself wine, Chen Can got up scolding, just staggered to the wine cabinet, his stomach churned, he strode out of the restaurant, and vomited on the side of the road without any quality at all.
After spitting, the extremely rough middle-aged man wiped his mouth, then leaned on the plane tree to swallow the clouds and spit, and looked at the traffic in front of him in a daze, this city, in Chen Can's opinion, looks like Xicheng in his bones.
It's another river and lake he doesn't want to touch.
A cigarette quickly came to an end, just like a story, just as Chen Can turned around and was about to return to the loss-making restaurant he ran, a man appeared beside him, his face was quite sad.
"Sad and bitter face, as a gentleman, even if he breaks his teeth, he has to swallow it honestly, seven points of viciousness and three points of heart, I don't believe that you TM can't do anything, go, accompany Lao Tzu not to get drunk and not return, forget such a river and lake, cut off such a red dust. Chen Can seemed to dislike this young man's expression, so he opened his mouth and scolded.
Being scolded like this, a few smiles appeared on the man's face, and he hugged Chen Can, who was almost unable to stand, and said, "I want to get drunk with you." ”
"Then give Lao Tzu to drink, drink hard, sing to Lao Tzu after drinking, sing a song and then go out of the mountain, sing a bitter drink celebration wine. Chen Can leaned on this man and said, this black fox who had never exposed his back to others was rarely able to believe the man in front of him at this moment.
Maybe it's because he's really drunk.
"Alcohol, I'm quitting. The man said calmly.
"Do you drink the ** celebration wine?" Chen Can scolded with a crooked face.
"Drink, I must drink, but I'm afraid I won't be able to drink it for the rest of my life. The man said with a bit of self-deprecation.
"Look at your appearance, I'm afraid of an egg, I said you can drink it, you can drink it. Chen Can patted the man's shoulder, although he was drunk like a dead dog, his expression was very serious.
The man laughed, laughed and bent over, and finally laughed out of tears.
It's so bitter that you can't cry to anyone, it's really bitter.
I don't know how long it took, the man had already disappeared in this noise, Chen Can sat on the ground leaning on the plane tree, lit a cigarette again, the face that was drunk into a puddle of mud was full of sobriety at the moment, he smoked a cigarette while muttering: "Little rabbit cub, one day, you will be able to say that the country in your heart is beautiful and picturesque, when the time comes, don't forget Lao Tzu and me." ”
After saying vaguely, this little person who was the humblest at the bottom of society but had seen the most extensive hummed that little song.
Today, I drank the celebration wine, and the ambition was not rewarded, and I showed my skills in the coming day, and I was willing to write the Spring and Autumn Period with blood.....
=====
In the underground parking lot of a high-end apartment in Xicheng, two men are swallowing clouds and spitting fog on a black BMW 730 with open windows.
Sitting in the driver's seat was Qin Langlang, the former campus bully, and sitting in the co-pilot was Li Qiuhe, one of the directors of the current Emperor Nine Mansion.
The two of them smoked cigarettes and didn't say a word, perhaps thinking of the turmoil of the past three months, Qin Langlang scratched his current little flat head and said: "Brother Qiu, thinking about it now, it's like a dream, I can't imagine that we can join the mansion like a miracle." ”
Li Qiuhe's expression was a little gloomy because Qin Langlang mentioned this topic, and he didn't answer anything directly, as if he was deliberately concealing it, which made this man who was quite upright in a sense seem to be suffering.
These three months may be the craziest three months in Xicheng, even higher than the two top hurricanes of Ma Wenrou's death and the death of Jiuye.
First, the Zhou family and the Liu family started a full-scale war almost for no reason, and it was not until after entering the mansion that Li Qiuhe understood that this was Wei Qinghe's life and death behind his back, and finally this bloody battle was stabbed to death by Zhou Kangcheng's woman Liu Xianxiang as a complete ending, and Li Qiuhe, who was standing in the Liu family, undoubtedly became the target of public criticism, but the mansion miraculously saved him and made an exception to give him the position of director.
The Liu family collapsed, and then there was a decisive battle between the Bai family and the Zhou family, because Wei Qinghe's decision was Xicheng, Bai Liu Zhou would only leave one family, and finally Zhou Kangcheng died in the hands of Bai Yiman, and on the night when Bai Yiman, whose hands were stained with blood, went to the Dijiu Mansion to receive merit, the Bai family was purged, Bai Yiman disappeared, and the three major families in Xicheng disappeared in Xicheng in this uncomical way, which also witnessed the rise of Wei Qinghe's name.
After Ma Wenrou's death in the Dijiu Mansion, there was a Wei Qinghe who was far more vicious than Ma Wenrou.
"Lang Lang, the reason why I survived is not because Wei Qinghe values my ability, nor is it a pie falling from the sky, but because of such a bastard who we once disdained. When he got out of the car, Li Qiuhe said this, and Qin Langlang, who had always been full of doubts in his heart, changed his expression instantly after hearing Li Qiuhe's words.
The child who had just begun to babble slept peacefully in the woman's arms, as if he would never touch the strange world outside, Qiu Yue hummed a song softly, looked at the child in her arms, and smiled slightly.
At this time, the door opened gently, Li Qiuhe gently walked into the side of the mother and son, looked at the sleeping child, and his face was finally relieved, he said softly to Qiuyue: "Xiaokui is not good today?"
"With your temperament, it's been a day of fuss, and you've just closed your eyes. Qiu Yue glanced at the man who was herself, but her face was filled with a kind of happiness.
Li Qiuhe smiled slightly, sat down lightly, and then said with a solemn expression: "There are some things I want to talk to you about." ”
Seeing that Li Qiuhe rarely showed such an expression, Qiuyue nodded slightly, put the child on the cot, and followed Li Qiuhe to the balcony.
On the balcony, Li Qiuhe faced the autumn moon in front of him, his hands trembled with excitement for the first time, opened the window and lit a cigarette and said: "Actually, my situation was very bad two months ago, Liu Xianxiang died, and all the people standing next to Liu Xianxiang were pulled closer to the quagmire. ”
One sentence made Qiu Yue's expression freeze instantly, and her nails had sunk into her palm.
Li Qiuhe sighed, of course he knew why Qiu Yue had such a huge reaction, and he continued to bite the bullet and said: "I once thought that I would definitely die in this huge dispute, I had no choice, because Liu Xianxiang threatened me with you, but at that time, the Emperor Nine Mansion accepted me, the person who stood on the wrong side, not only protected our thoughtfulness, but also put me in the position of director. ”
"Why, why don't you tell me everything. Qiu Yue said with a red face, trying her best to control her emotions.
Li Qiuhe took a deep breath of his cigarette, and then said: "Because of all this, it is because of Li Panruo, a month ago, Wei Qinghe saw me, and just said lightly, let me survive, just because Li Panruo cares about you, and I am your husband." ”
Qiu Yue's originally red face turned pale at this moment, she couldn't imagine that man, who saved her life, and under the circumstances that she couldn't detect.
"In Wei Qinghe's mouth, that man has subverted the situation in the entire Xicheng, without him, there would be no current Emperor Nine Mansion, so as long as the Emperor Nine Mansion still exists, I will not be allowed to die in this river and lake. Li Qiuhe finally said these things that were held in his heart, although he didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
"Li Panruo, he... How is he now? Qiu Yue's voice had begun to tremble, and when she thought of such a figure, her heart seemed to be suddenly pierced by something, and a sharp pain swept through her body.
"Dead. ”
After getting such an answer, Qiu Yue seemed to have been robbed of something in an instant, and looked at Li Qiuhe in front of her with empty eyes, everything was so unreal.
The lights are shining and the stars are shining, the voices are incomprehensible, and the songs are not full of troubled times.
In that year, a farewell is life and death, and it is eternity.
=======
The meticulousness of time is as merciless as flowing water.
A black Audi Q7 stopped in the Xicheng cemetery, and the one who got out of the car was a burly man in a black suit, followed by a young man with an admiring face, and the two entered the cemetery like this.
Who would have thought that this largest fruit dealer in the entire West City would be just an underground thug two years ago, gambling with his life for one or two thousand yuan a day.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaohu held two bouquets of lilies in his hands, and slowly put them down in front of the two tombstones, he looked at the dazzling smiling face on the photo, as if he thought of a past, and when Zhou Xiaohu found another lily in front of the tombstone that had withered, he suddenly understood something.
He looked into the distance, a grateful smile on his face.
After a few years, there will always be people who remember that the eternal spirit is forever.
The lively underground casino in Xicheng, this is a newly opened casino, and the owner behind it is rumored to have a little to do with the mansion, so few people dare to make trouble in this place.
A young man with a stubble on his face had been sitting at the table for a day and a night, and in addition to losing the last two thousand dollars on his body, he had borrowed a loan shark of thirty thousand, and if he did not repay the money, he knew very well that it would be difficult for him to walk out without leaving an arm or a leg.
The face of this once brilliant young man was dead, and the few chips left in his hand were thrown out like a stone in the sea, and there was no more news, just as the little toad was about to rush out of the casino, a man sat beside him.
"Regarding this point, you are very similar to Pan Dongzi. Lao Xue lit a cigarette and said.
The little toad looked at the returning Lao Xue in a daze, his expression was like a mixed taste, in the storm a few months ago, although he left a life, but he also lost everything, including the casino left by Pan Dongzi, and Lao Xue's whereabouts are unknown, he never dreamed that he would meet Lao Xue in this place.
Lao Xue kept turning the two chips in his hand, and said to the little toad with a calm face: "Do you think that what you have lost, you can win it back by relying on this thing? Pan Dongzi's tragedy, do you still want to stage it a second time?"
The little toad's expression slowly froze.
"If you want to win big, you have to bet with your life like that guy. Lao Xue said, got up and dropped the two chips, and the little toad just sat stupidly for a long time.
This time, he didn't walk out of the casino without missing arms and legs, but whether this is the case next time, no one can be a guarantee.
For this young man, perhaps such a river and lake has just begun.
=====
In the dark alley of another city, a man was running wildly, his forehead covered with cold sweat, but he walked into a dead end, and just as he turned around, a fat man had blocked his way.
The fat man snorted coldly: "Keep running for Lao Tzu, I'll see where you run now." ”
Seeing that this situation was not good, the man gritted his teeth, took out a knife from his arms, and said to the fat man Tang Jin tremblingly: "You... You don't want to come here... I will definitely pay back the money I owe,,, but now I can't turn it around... I just need a week, a week is enough. ”
Because he was too excited, the man's tone of voice trembled.
Tang Jin was particularly disdainful of the knife in this man's hand, and sneered: "Come, the court here stabbed me." ”
This rabbit who was forced to be anxious, because of Tang Jin's teasing, seemed to be pressed on the last straw, and pounced on Tang Jin, but this sensitive fat man instantly snatched the knife in his hand, and then directly put the knife on the man's neck, and the man immediately begged for mercy.
"Didn't you just have a big tone? Don Kim played with the knife casually, slowly sinking into the man's neck.
"Almost. A voice stopped Don King, and Don King let go of the man and kicked a dog to.
In the darkness, a man wearing a green army coat who didn't look very big walked out, with a chicken nest hairstyle and a pair of dead fish eyes, as if he was not interested in anything, he took the knife handed by Tang Jin, and threw it in front of the man who had just gotten up and said: "I called you three times and no one answered, logically speaking, I should ask you for three fingers." ”
The man's face had turned completely pale, and Chuang Zi said with an evil smile: "You should know, I'm not joking, in this industry, my name, you shouldn't have heard of it." ”
"Three days, I only need three days, and I will pay back all the money in three days. The man begged for mercy with tears in his eyes.
Chuangzi's face did not change, listening to this man crying about his situation, he raised his head, looked at the night sky, and suddenly his heart twitched, he looked at this man again who didn't know what a lie was and what was true and said: "I'll give you a week, the money will be returned, you will live, you can't pay it back, and the next person who catches you will definitely make you worse than dead." ”
After saying that, he didn't care about the man, he turned around and left directly, but the fat man Tang Jin followed with a puzzled face, and then leaned up and said, "Let him go like this, it's not easy for us to catch him." ”
Chuang Zi didn't speak, but nothing faltered in his eyes.
And the man who was kneeling on the ground just looked at the man who had let him go, as if he had been shaken by something.
Perhaps this society is far less desperate than he imagined.
And the man who had been cornered by the world but did not become the heinous man he wanted to be, just sat on the side of the busy street, smoking a cigarette, thinking about whether he might really fail.
"There's no news of that guy. Chuang Zi asked.
The fat man Tang Jin scratched his head and said, "It is rumored that Li Panruo is dead. ”
"Dead? That guy won't die. "Breaking into a cigarette butt is basically a lie that I have woven and digested.
Tang Jin sighed, he felt that Chuang Zi now had his own magic barrier.
"Is the tassel still with that math man?" asked Chuangzi as he lit a cigarette again.
Tang Jin nodded and said: "It seems that she really plans to be good, then she left it behind, if we dare to touch her current life, we will come back and chop us directly." ”
Tang Jin felt in his heart that one was not a fuel-efficient lamp than the other.
"It's really ruthless enough, she really thinks she can wash her hands like this, do you think this Jianghu will let her go?"
"This time, she's playing for real. Donkin said.
"Keep an eye on the other side, if you dare to have a mess that doesn't have long eyes, you don't need to show mercy to your subordinates. Chuangzi said, although his mouth looked like he was not convinced, his heart was as soft as a piece of tofu.
Tang Jin nodded, walked away a few steps to make a phone call.
Chuang Zi looked at the man sitting on the road stone next to him, and then said, "I don't know the meaning of my life in general?"
The man nodded, looking at the cold in confusion.
"The ancestor once said that the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and the ancestor also said that the sky pays off, no matter how you say it, you can be regarded as a person with a heart, you will not be less if you should get, and you will not have more than what you should get. "This cultural level is estimated to be inferior to Li Panruo's other bastard, and it is rare to say a very high-level sentence.
The man muttered the sentence of the man who had a heart in the mouth of the man, and a smile gradually appeared on his face, this is a smile like a child, maybe from the beginning, he has not grown up in the real sense.
=====
The Westside nightclub is still brightly lit.
Putting down the phone of the shark master, Guan Zi walked out of the desk on crutches, looked at the night scene of Xicheng through this window exclusive to him, lit a cigarette, knocked on the door, and then Wang Tao's voice: "Brother Guan Zi, I have solved everything, those little minions have been caught, what to do?"
"Let go. Shrub just slowly spat out these two words.
Wang Tao was stunned, because the word Irrigation did not react.
"I said release people, there is no one behind this group of gangsters, just a group of young people who don't know the height of the sky, just give a lesson and forget it, in the final analysis, we also climbed up from such a step. Bush said, in the precipitation again and again, this man has become more and more motionless, although now Bush has a pivotal position in the mansion.
Not to mention in Xicheng, in this city, what can suppress the current identity of the bush is only a palm.
After listening to this, Wang Tao understood the meaning of the irrigation and ordered him to leave.
Bush Zi is still standing in front of the window, the silhouette is inexplicably like a person, and the path he walks is roughly the same as that person, the man who left the Ninth Master first, but lives the most like the Ninth Master.
