Chapter 62: The Old Past
Kuangsuo took the initiative to visit the people in Beiting at the Happy Hostel, accompanied by Jin Huanzhao and Ning Xiaoman, Bai Weibi has been buried in the ground, for those who committed suicide, the farewell can only be simple, and this is especially true for the Buyi royal family with a sacrificial tradition, and the chief leader is no exception.
Liu Zichen poured them a few glasses of boiled water with a simple paper cup, and in the Happy Hostel, there are only such hospitality conditions at present.
At first, everyone didn't speak, especially Ning Xiaoman, who was pale, and her sadness had not yet faded. She is not a typical clansman, she left Crescent Moon Mountain since she was a child under Bai Weibi's arrangement, so her emotional changes are no different from us ordinary people, and she has no concept of the bloody sacrifice of the Buyi royal family, Wan Yongkun didn't dare to disturb her casually, so he could only accompany her silently.
What no one expected was that the first person to speak was Ning Xiaoman: "I know that the death of the eldest brother made everyone a little depressed...... But this is the path that the eldest brother chose by himself, and I think he ended up walking peacefully, and everyone should be happy for him. This girl who loves to read began to show a slightly unusual spiritual realm at this time, but it also made everyone begin to be impressed.
Among this group of people, it was Chen Tianyu who was always unfazed, and of course he understood Ning Xiaoman's extraneous voice.
"We all know that your eldest brother is not a bad person, and his choice to leave like this may be the best ending. Chen Tianyu said slowly.
Liu Zichen couldn't help but ask: "Xiaoman, how come you are also a member of the Buyi royal family?...... It was a surprise to us. ”
Kuang Suo answered on the side: "It's not that I have the intention to hide it, in fact, she is a member of our Jiudao, Weibi was also born in our Jiudao, and then he was selected to serve as the leader of the same group under various coincidences......
Liu Zichen's heart moved, and she asked: "So, most of the rumors on Crescent Island are actually real people and real things? It's not that someone deliberately spread rumors to make trouble......
Ning Xiaoman bowed: "Well, it was the eldest brother who ordered the clansmen to publicize it on the island. The main purpose is to warn the dark forces on Crescent Island, don't act recklessly, Crescent Island is still the territory under the jurisdiction of our Buyi royal family...... Unfortunately, these vicious people don't seem to take it seriously at all. ”
Liu Zichen was surprised: "That's not right, according to the legend of the Buyi royal family, one of your brothers and sisters should have been sacrificed to the moon god, and now he is long gone, could it be that the legend on Crescent Island has been deliberately tampered with? Or is there something happening in it......
Ning Xiaoman was silent when she heard this, her mood was low again, and her eyes were filled with tears, and she couldn't help but feel sad again when she mentioned this old incident.
"Legend has it that the one who was sacrificed to the moon god was my sister. …… My eldest brother's name is Bi, my sister's name is Sheng, my name is Man, we are three brothers and sisters, I am ten years apart from my eldest brother, and I was born two years after my sister's death. It dawned on everyone.
Wan Yongkun said suddenly: "No wonder none of us can imagine that Weibi and you will be brothers and sisters, and no wonder Weibi will sacrifice his life to protect you so much, I am so stupid, I didn't even notice it in advance......
Liu Zichen sighed: "Actually, this matter has long been revealed, but Weibi is really smart, and he actually used a very ordinary trick to hide the eyes of all of us." ”
Jin Huanzhao said helplessly: "I think, what really misleads everyone's judgment is probably Weibi's public identity, right? When Brother Yu called me a few days ago, I explained some of the information I had recently heard to Brother Yu. If I had known that the issue of Weibi's identity was so complicated, I would have let you know as soon as possible. ”
"In fact, although Weibi and I used to be comrades-in-arms, we didn't stay together for long, and a year before I retired from active service, Weibi had just enlisted in the army, so we were just roommates who worked together for a year. It turned out that he was seconded to the engineering department in the second year, and he did not choose to stay in the team after the expiration of his service, but retired from active duty. He remembered Chen Tianyu's sudden phone call, which was indeed an important part of uncovering the truth.
Later, he often came to the Dream Fulfillment shop to sit down, and when he had nothing to do, he would chat with me and make tea, claiming that the troops had been stationed on Crescent Island for a long time, and I really believed it. Jin Huanzhao sighed, "Now that I think about it, he has always been strategizing, and he has always used my unique geographical location here to monitor the every move of the three major industries, and at that time, he would also take the initiative to ask Ying to go to the warehouse on the top of the mountain to monitor and collect evidence of the HN gang's crimes, which turned out to be the case." …… The owner of the chess and card shop that baffled me and was elusive could actually be Weibi! With my ability to understand, it is simply incredible. ”
Liu Zichen still had some questions: "That's strange, since Weibi is no longer an engineer, why would anyone be willing to stand up for him and send a large number of people to clash head-on with the HN Gang?...... We've seen these people, too. She remembered the sixty-odd people she had met when she first landed on the island, apparently from the army.
Chen Tianyu sighed: "Ah Hai told me that those people are not here to stand up for Weibi at all, but just because they are in the right place, and the HN Gang is unscrupulous on the island, and has never taken anyone seriously, and it is inevitable that they will have a holiday with many people in that company, and finally provoke them, so they will take action against the HN Gang...... In fact, we are also preconceived, and we have been picked up by Weibi with a ready-made statement. ”
Everyone suddenly realized that it was really a wonderful layout, true and false, virtual and real, as if monopolizing the right time, place and people.
Ning Xiaoman sighed faintly, and added: "The world makes people, the eldest brother had no intention of killing, he was just burdened with the task entrusted by the old leader, and went to Crescent Island to check and balance the two gangs; The villains who messed with flowers and grass actually ignored my eldest brother's warnings and violated my personal safety...... Hmph, if they hadn't deceived people too much, the eldest brother wouldn't have come to the point of dying with them. ”
This is really a big surprise to everyone, obviously everything is not premeditated, but a temporary plan of revenge, no wonder everyone is dizzy.
"When did Weibi become your chief leader?" Chen Tianyu suddenly asked.
Kuang Suo said: "Probably a few years ago, the old leader Xun just died, and before he died, a leader was appointed to take over as the chief leader, at that time, Weibi was still dormant on Crescent Island. This is the custom of our cloth-clothed royal family, and a leader is basically the default candidate for the general leader......"
Ning Xiaoman also explained: "You don't know, in fact, my eldest brother has lived on Crescent Island for so many years, as well as the years of military service to serve the country, his ideology has changed very much, he began to reflect on the bad habits of the Buyi royal family, and hated the senseless sacrifice of my sister Sheng, so since he became the chief leader, he completely abolished the bloody ceremony of human sacrifice, and spared no effort to encourage more people to integrate into modern society. The ghost cried wolf, and the eldest brother saw this situation and tried to change it but seemed powerless. Whenever he mentioned to me his ideals and ambitions and the difficulties he encountered, I was sad that I couldn't help. ”
Liu Zichen suddenly realized: "No wonder you like reading so much, probably you also want to know what the real city is like, and you are also full of yearning for modern life...... Do you want to find a way out of the cloth royal family from the book?"
Ning Xiaoman nodded: "I don't deny that I had such an idea at the beginning, but my foundation is too poor, in the clan, we girls have no status, let alone study, not to mention what understanding of modern society, even some stereotypes and bad habits in my own clan have long been accustomed to it." …… It is said that knowledge can change fate, but it's a pity that the eldest brother has carried too many shackles and has no chance to change his destiny......"
Chen Tianyu's eyes suddenly flashed with a light, and he finally understood the intention of Bai Weibi's deathbed.
He said slowly: "You are wrong, Weibi has changed his fate, and also changed your fate, and at the same time changed the fate of the entire Buyi royal family......
Ning Xiaoman's eyes widened, not understanding what he meant.
Liu Zichen walked over, grabbed her arm, and sighed softly: " Weibi used his life to maintain the dignity of the general leader of the Buyi royal family, it can be said that he is still alive even though he is dead; he never let you participate in his career, but let Mrs. Jin supervise you to study carefully every day, you are no longer a village girl on the Crescent Moon Mountain, but a fashionable girl in a small city, Ning Xiaoman; Weibi sacrificed himself to eradicate all the underworld forces, he knew that he could only resolve all grievances by dying, and his greatest vision was to generously hand over the highest token of the Buyi royal family, and order the dissolution of the Buyi royal family; in other words, from today on, you are no longer an isolated nation, and you no longer need a fully autonomous governmentThere is no need to be forced to engage in illegal industries such as gambling, Wanyue Island will soon become a regular administrative district of this city, and you will soon become the most ordinary citizens, what a long-term and wise plan!"
Ning Xiaoman and Kuang Suo are both smart people, and the two of them quickly understood the truth.
At this time, they are no longer sad, and the people of the Buyi royal clan have gained enough dignity as long as they sacrifice voluntarily, and this will never change. Since Bai Weibi sacrificed heroically for the sake of the nation, it is something worthy of admiration rather than sadness.
Ning Xiaoman quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her expression began to return to calm.
"Do you think that it was our Beiting's intervention that caused your brother's death?" Chen Tianyu suddenly said on the side: "In fact, from the objective reality, Weibi does not need to choose the path of suicide, the reason why he did this is nothing more than for the consideration of the entire Buyi royal family." ”
"Zichen questioned me, our work in Beiting didn't really help others at all, but caused many people to die for no reason, whether it was a serious crime, or innocent people......
Kuang Suo shook his head: "Help is not sympathy, let alone pity, real help is to give us a kind of spiritual strength." …… I think you've done your best. ”
Liu Zichen frowned and said: "Jiudao, don't hide anything for Tianyu, since we want to sacrifice our lives and forget our lives to do these things, we must really understand the value of doing these things...... Otherwise, Beiting will be just a flash in the pan and will not last long. ”
Kuang Suo was silent, and he looked up into the distance, where he didn't know where.
Ning Xiaoman suddenly said faintly:
"Death is not necessarily the end, and living is not necessarily contentment. People will inevitably die, so why not let those who are going to die die as they deserve, and let those who are trying to survive have a little hope?...... This is probably the meaning of Beiting, I believe that Beiting will be able to prove this one day, and now it is just beginning......"
Everyone looked at this innocent girl who seemed to have no ears to what was going on outside the window and only read the books of the sages, and their eyes all showed admiration.
