Chapter 99: Fate is inseparable
In fact, the friction between gangs rarely leads to human deaths.
Things like shooting a person's head at every turn, or cutting off someone's whole family if they don't agree with each other, almost only exist in film and television works.
When you come out to mix, you are generally measured when you start.
After all, wounding and maiming and murder are completely two different concepts, as long as there is no fatality, when the time comes, just find a few younger brothers to replace them, go in and lock them up for a while, and wait for the limelight to pass and pay some money, and the person may be released.
And once a human life is killed, the severity of the matter will be escalated, how can it end so easily?
coincided with that era when the intensity of the fight against crime was the greatest, and even those leading bosses began to change hands and wash white, for fear that they would become the target of killing chickens and monkeys.
Yes, the lad is destined to pay a heavy price for his actions.
When the young man was handcuffed and escorted to the police car, he realized with remorse that he could not fulfill his three-year contract!
The brawl resulted in the death of two people and the maiming of many others, and in addition to various crimes related to gangsters, the young man was sentenced to life imprisonment, confiscated all his property, and deprived of political rights.
Fortunately, one of his brothers helped him contact a lawyer, and he obtained a certain reduction in sentence on the grounds of manslaughter caused by excessive defense.
At the same time, the young man did well in prison reform, and was released after more than ten years of imprisonment.
With the support of his brother, he got on the bus back to his hometown.
For so many years, the only thing that supported him to live was to return to his hometown and secretly take a look at his sweetheart.
As long as she is well, then he will have nothing to ask for!
The closer he got to his hometown, the more indescribably complicated his feelings became.
Thinking about whether her sweetheart was broken when she didn't wait for herself, thinking about who she married later, thinking about how she was doing, and thinking about whether she still remembered her hateful person!
The village in his memory has changed a lot in the more than ten years he has been in prison, but how can he forget this place full of happy memories for the two of them?
Maybe it's the favor of God, when the young man passed by the gate of the elementary school, he suddenly found his sweetheart in the crowd.
Even after more than ten years, he still won't admit his mistake, that Qianying is the sweetheart he has been thinking about for a long time.
Her appearance has matured a little, and she has lost a little bit of the youth in her impression, well, she is more beautiful!
However, her figure is slightly thin, and she has a somewhat haggard look on her face.
He subconsciously walked towards his sweetheart, but at this moment, she suddenly showed a kind smile and hugged a little boy who was running towards her into her arms.
At that moment, he stopped his tracks.
She held the little boy dotingly, smiling and saying something, her face full of maternal brilliance that he had never seen before.
Watching his sweetheart and the little boy walk away hand in hand, drowning in the crowd, the young man smiled bitterly.
That night, he was very drunk, crying and laughing.
Early the next morning, the young man who had the last thing on his mind appeared at the foot of the Lingchan Temple.
……
Hearing this, Xuan Wei couldn't help but sigh.
It is said that there is no fate, and the old woman and her childhood sweetheart may be like this!
If the two of them could have said a word at that time, maybe the result would have changed dramatically.
"When I heard that man tremble and say this, I felt so indebted to my mother! If it weren't for my presence, maybe he would have reconnected with his mother, even if he was more than ten years late, he wouldn't have waited for most of his life like he has now!" the middle-aged man slammed down the stone table, his eyes full of pain.
If you want to talk about pain, the two parties are the most painful, right?
Because of a small misunderstanding, a pair of lovers have been separated for decades, one is waiting for a fool, and the other is regretting.
Under the guidance of the abbot of Ling Chan Monastery, the man was ordained and recited the Buddha every day, only praying for his mother's blessing and wishing her health and happiness. Hehe, it's ridiculous!" The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, his tone mixed with indescribable complex emotions.
But isn't it, the old woman's childhood sweetheart has no will to live, and intends to die to atone for the sin of murder.
After the abbot of Lingchan Temple, he realized that he could still make up for his sweetheart's humility.
Even if he didn't know if chanting Buddha was really useful, he felt that the rest of his life had a little meaning.
However, the old woman was not happy at all!
He has recited sutras for decades, prayed to the Buddha for decades, and even felt guilty for decades, which makes no sense!
It's even like what the middle-aged man said, it's very ridiculous, full of mockery!
After learning about his mother's experience over the years, the man laughed a few times, and actually vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot and fainted. Within two days of being taken to the hospital, he died of depression. Until the end, the man was still repeating the words 'I'm sorry' in his mouth, looking at his mother with tears in his eyes!" the middle-aged man sighed.
"Supreme Heavenly Venerable, Ling Tang must be very sad, right?" Xuan Wei shook his head and said.
"My mother was very old and in poor health, and she fell ill in bed after the blow. Today I came to Heaven and Earth to make a vow, it was my mother who asked me to come, she said that thanks to Xuanwei Daoist, otherwise she was afraid that she would not even be able to see this last side, and she would not be willing to be a ghost at that time. The middle-aged man bowed solemnly to Xuanwei and thanked him.
Xuan thought about it for a moment, wouldn't it be better if he hadn't told the old woman?
If they hadn't met, her childhood sweetheart would have at least had a trace of thought, and she would feel a little relieved even when she passed away.
But now, everything he has done has turned into regret, and he has ended up depressed.
In the same way, if the old woman had not been struck again, she would not have been bedridden.
For a moment, Xuan Wei was a little shaken.
"Mother, she told me that she is very grateful to Daoist Xuanwei, at least you let her know that she didn't wait for the wrong person!" the middle-aged man whispered.
The middle-aged man's words stabilized Xuanwei's slightly shaken Dao heart.
Yes, for the old woman and her childhood sweetheart, the ending of the two is indeed tragic.
But at the very least, the two learned that the other party had not changed their minds from beginning to end, but for some reason, the two failed to become husband and wife as they wished.
Maybe it's more important to the two than the outcome, right?
……
About a few months later, the middle-aged man came to the Heaven and Earth Temple again.
The old woman, who had been seriously ill, went after all!
According to her last wishes, the middle-aged man enshrined her spiritual throne in the tower of Lingchan Temple.
The two of them, who have not been together for most of their lives, can finally be with them for a long time.
