Chapter 65: Breaking the Mystery (5)
You Li said: "I'm afraid it's too late to go to Fengling now, Xue Qi said that Xue Lao's situation is not very good." ”
Xu Fang groaned for two seconds, then took You Li's mobile phone, "Let's video with him first." ”
Xu Fang contacted Xue Qi, and Xue Qi quickly agreed.
While waiting for the video, each bell was filled with saber-rattling tension, until the pale hospital ward appeared in the shaky lens, and finally focused on Xue Qi's bloodshot eyes.
Xue Qi has stayed up for several nights without sleeping, opening and closing his eyes are all pictures in the video, and when he was a child, his grandfather sat on the rattan chair in the old courtyard to tell him stories, and he grew up when the story was told, and his mind was now full of grandpa looking at his face, a pair of old eyes were cloudy, and he could still remember that grandpa always whispered retribution in his sleep.
"Grandpa. He brought the camera close to Xue Chunnian, leaned into Xue Chunnian's ear and said, "It's Miss You and Mr. Xu." ”
Xue Chunnian's body trembled when he heard the latter, his bony hand grabbed the phone, every inch of his skin was skinny, and his complexion was dull and dark.
He held the phone tightly, his hands trembled badly, looking at the handsome face of the man on the other end of the video, Xue Chunnian suddenly smiled, "It's like, it's like." ”
He laughed and began to cough, and said gibberishly, "Horn, your son has grown up, you ...... My son has finally grown up, hahaha. ”
Xue Chunnian's words were intermittent, his eyes looked at Xu Fang's face in the screen screen stupidly, and his cloudy eyes burst out with fine light, like a reflection of the dying in front of him.
There was a death-like silence in the air, and Xue Chunnian pulled his throat: "The beauty is peerless, and the sky is jealous of the talent." ”
His eyes didn't blink, and the people who watched it shuddered, "Xu Fang, your father died at the hands of a traitor, did he kill it...... Not suicide, that night, the night of the accident...... Li Yizeng...... I went to see your father, and it was all retribution...... Retribution. ”
Xue Chunnian seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and after saying this, he began to gasp vigorously, breathing out and out of breath, and there was no return.
The old man closed his eyes, and a line of tears slid down the corners of his eyes.
The picture was messy for a while, and then it was white and black, and Xu Fang could only hear the heart-rending crying ringtones and the sound of many people hurrying at the other end of the picture.
Xu Fang maintained a posture for a long time and did not move, and You Li leaned over.
"You once said Shen Erjing. Xu Fang said.
You Li: "Yes, he is Shen Congping's youngest son. ”
Xu Fang: "I have to go see him." ”
You Lizhen can still help in this matter, and after thinking about it, it is thanks to her grumpy father who is well-connected.
If Shen Erjing was still a high-spirited young entrepreneur sixteen years ago, now sixteen years have passed, and the years have been baptized by quicksand, and he has already become calm and stable.
And Yuli, who happened to see him on a golf course with his father present.
But before that, I'll have to make a trip to Wind Ridge.
The Takagawa shop was still like that, but the door was locked, and Yuli glanced hurriedly at the taxi, and when he turned his head, the side of the man's face was cast by the shadows of the trees on the street outside, and the light passed through his eyes, and finally disappeared into the rapid speed.
Xue Qi waited outside the door, dressed in black clothes, with a white linen hat on his head, hooked up to his back knees.
In the distance, You Li and Xu Fang hurriedly got out of the taxi.
"Condolences. ”
Hearing Xu Fang's words, Xue Qi's nose twitched twice, and his eyes were full of tears.
I remember that in the car he said that his grandfather was his only relative.
"Please come in. Xue Qi wiped his eyes, and the young man seemed to have matured completely overnight.
The Xue family still lives in an old-fashioned courtyard, the courtyard is full of green leaves, but there is a coffin in the dark green, dark red lacquered wood, and the coffin lid is tightly closed.
Everyone knows that there is an old man who has hidden his heart all his life, and this heart has become a heart disease, brought into the coffin, and is about to sleep in the soil.
Loess and white bones, all year round.
There were many people who came to Xue's house to see off Xue Chunnian on his last journey, Xu Fang walked into the crowd, knelt on his knees, and kowtowed to the old man three times.
Yu Li stood a few meters behind him, his gaze falling on the cold coffin.
Xu Fang traveled thousands of miles to Fengling to meet this old man, and this old man left him a huge message both in life and after death.
Xue Chunnian is Xu Fang's benefactor, and he is the whistleblower of the case that has many doubts but has been decided early.
On the second day, Xue Chunnian was buried in the ancestral grave of the Xue family on a low mountain in the town.
After everything was over, Xue Qi left the two behind.
In the warm room, two teacups with light-colored tea sit on the coffee table.
Xue Qi came out of the room, took a box in his hand, he handed the box to Xu Fang, and said, "This is what my grandfather asked me to give to you." ”
The red rectangular box, with carved butterflies on it, is the old-fashioned model.
The lid of the box makes a slight clicking sound, and inside, there is a video recorder.
There is also a handwritten letter, signed by Xue Chunnian, and the mud-red fingerprint is pressed on the name.
Below the letter is the page of the email sent by Xue Qi to Xu Fang, which was written by his father on the day of the accident.
He thought everything through.
Xue Qi said: "This is what Uncle Shen gave to my grandfather in 02, and it contains what you want." ”
Uncle Shen, Shen Erjing.
Xue Qi said meaningfully: "The cassette in this is the original. ”
Xu Fang was relieved and asked, "Did he tell you anything, Old Xue?"
Xue Qi clasped his hands and seemed to fall into memory, "Grandpa used to be a very cheerful person, but since a year and a half ago, when I heard that Fengling was going to carve out a Hanyuan scenic spot, the whole person has become wrong, and then I heard him say that it was because of a long-abandoned stage." ”
Xu Fang: "Qinghe Spirit Temple." ”
Xue Qi paused in his tone, "Yes, at first, I didn't understand why he was like this, even if someone mentioned it a little, he would be furious, until, a year ago, grandpa's health suddenly deteriorated, he dreamed all night, and even sometimes said something inexplicable." ”
Xue Qi looked at Xu Fang: "One of the things he says most often is that he is a little scared, retribution, this is retribution or something." ”
You Li lowered his eyes, what were he afraid of? I am afraid that the words related to that year touched the softest part of a person's heart.
Xue Qi glanced at the video recorder that Xu Fang had put back in place, "This video was taken by my grandfather, grandpa admired the style of famous singers back then, and begged Uncle Shen to ask him to go in to help with the affection of the two families, Uncle Shen knew that grandpa was good-looking, and the performance of the Guohai Troupe was not something that could be invited with money, this opportunity was extremely precious, so he gave him a video recorder, probably hoping that he could take a photo with his idol, or record the scene, but no one expected that in the end, what was recorded in this belt was ......"
With the exception of Yuli, both of them had seen the tape playing.
Before sending the two out of the door, Xue Qi finally spoke again, "A year ago, my parents were both killed in a car accident while traveling to Tibet by car, and that day happened to be your father's death day. ”
The death of his son and daughter-in-law on such a day finally shattered the wall that had been built day after day and year after year in the old man's heart, and after collapsing, it revealed the dirty and terrifying reality inside.
