143. The heart is bound
The weather after the year was unusually cold, the wind blew on his face, and he stretched out his hand to feel like he could wipe off a thick layer of lime, Qiao Yixia wrapped his scarf, and the two of them held hands tightly with Lu Xifei. The mountain road was rugged and overgrown with weeds and dead branches and leaves, creating a desolate and treacherous atmosphere, Qiao Yixia looked up at the sky, it was cloudy, and in her impression, it was almost exactly the same as that day many years ago.
Her hands were shaking all the time, and when she stopped, her face was already covered with tears, and Lu Xifei didn't help her wipe her tears, but said lightly: "This is it." ”
"It's here, that person named Yuan Hui has kidnapped your sister and brother."
Qiao Yixia slowly squatted on the ground, holding her head, she didn't dare to look, she didn't dare to look at the abandoned factory in front of her, it was like a blank memory with a blind spot in her head, touching the scene under the call of time, all the unbearable, all the pain was about to come out, filling her heart, making her so painful that she couldn't breathe.
Lu Xifei took out a photo from the pocket of his windbreaker and squatted on the ground, and the person's face instantly appeared in front of Qiao Yixia's eyes.
"Yes, it's him......"
It's him, don't say ten years, it's twenty years, fifty years, a lifetime, she won't forget his eyes, she doesn't know what he looks like, but these eyes, she will never forget. It was he who ruined her and Yihui's lives and plunged their entire Qiao family into the pain of eternal life.
She won't forget jì, that day, Yi Hui was still the same as usual, after finishing her homework, he pestered her to go up the mountain to play, they love to play hide and seek in this place where no one is around, Yi Xia let him, every time he pretended not to be found. But on that day, they met a person on the way home from the mountain holding hands, and that person was Yuan Hui in the photo. He was fierce, with a sharp knife in his hand, a black mask and a hat with a low brim. He locked them in the cave, and when Yi Hui was still very young and kept crying, she comforted him, saying that his parents would definitely come to their rescue.
Later, he locked them up in another place, that is, the abandoned factory in front of him, the factory at that time was not like this, but a confined space, like a dark room, without even a window, looking up at the cold copper wall and iron wall, there was no hope of life.
She couldn't remember anything after that, as if someone had erased the memory from her mind, and she couldn't remember it at all. But after that, she never saw Yi Hui again.
"I don't know why I can't remember...... I can't even remember how Xiaohui ......" She covered her mouth, but she couldn't stop crying. Death, the word, she couldn't speak.
"Uncle and aunt paid the ransom, but he was very cunning and didn't return you to Yihui and them. Moreover. Luci lowered his head, completely unaware that the palm of his hand had been pinched red by his nails, oozing blood, "And, cruelly, killed Yihui." ”
"Why...... Why, why did he get what he wanted but still wouldn't let us go, why was Xiaohui the one who died and not me. ”
"Because." Lucy trembled her eyelashes, feeling that every word she said was extraordinarily heavy, so heavy that she couldn't breathe, "Xiaohui saw his face, and you, no." ”
Qiao Yixia tugged at her hair tightly, and her good-looking face became hideous and distorted because of pain: "I don't remember, I don't remember...... I don't remember what happened, what if I don't remember anything......"
"Back then, the person in charge of investigating the case was named Zhang Ze, who has retired. I met him some time ago. Originally, after so many years, I thought that I might not be able to find this person, but the emperor paid off, and in the end, we still found him. According to the autopsy report at the time, Yi Hui was stabbed with a dagger, and this person should be Yuan Hui. ”
- Professor Lu, sure enough, I can't hide anything from you. I admit that it was not because I couldn't investigate the case that the case was delayed, but because I was instructed not to withdraw from the investigation and handed it over to the captain of the fifth team. I'm just an ordinary clerk, and I don't have the right to question my boss's decision, so I can only obey. So the inside story about what you want is actually the truth I've wanted to know for years.
- Uncle and aunt, in fact, you knew the truth of the matter not long after Yi Hui was killed, so you locked Yi Xia in the hospital, isolated from the world, and let her undergo completely closed treatment, or rather, let her completely forget that memory.
- We also hated and thought of strangling her to avenge our poor son. However, after all, I couldn't give up. Since you are reluctant, you have to forget about jì. During that time, it was the darkest and most painful time in the lives of both of us, and we told the director the truth of the situation, and there was a doctor's certificate, so her actions did not constitute a crime. We were afraid, afraid that she would not be able to stand it after knowing the truth, so we begged the director so that he could understand our hearts as parents.
-- The person who once loved with his life, even if he made a big mistake, as a parent, would not be willing to really make her uncomfortable. Because we are born as human beings, we are not plants and trees, we have feelings.
Thinking of Zhang Ze and Qiao Yihai's words, looking at Qiao Yixia who was in tears, Lu Xifei looked at the ground under her feet and helped her brush her broken hair behind her ears: "Yixia, I know that the pain of losing a loved one cannot be comforted by other people's words." I am experiencing this pain as much as you do. But there are still many people who love you in this world, Liu Chen told me, don't let Lu Shuye's sacrifice become meaningless. Yi Xia, in the same way, I also want to tell you that the deceased is gone, don't let Yi Hui's sacrifice become meaningless. ”
"We are all fortunate people, we all have brothers who love us deeply, although they cannot grow up with us, watch the ebb and flow of the tide together, but we are no longer alone from now on, because they live in our bodies, and follow our joy and joy, sorrow and sorrow."
Lu Xifei wrapped her in his arms, his chin rested on her head, and protected her like a treasure: "If the person who survived was Yihui, then his current pain would not be less than yours." You love him so much that you can't bear to let him live in guilt every day. ”
How long have these days passed, more than 3,000 days and nights. Sleep in guilt every day, wake up in guilt, and welcome a new, guilt-filled day. Under this torture, she became apathetic, irritable, and resistant to the approach of anyone around her. Because she not only lost her brother, but also lost a memory. She felt like a walking corpse, struggling to catch her breath every day. She couldn't even imagine if she would have survived if it hadn't been for the belief that the killer would have been brought to justice.
"The lost memory is not God's punishment for you, but Yihui's love for you. No matter where he is, he hopes that his sister can let go of the past and try to move forward. ”
She looked up at Lu Xifei, her eyes were so sincere, bright, like the brightest silver moon in the sky, how thankful she was that she was able to cross thousands of barriers and come to her side.
"Cangcang, thank you."
"Thank you, I accept it." Lucy gently softened her hair, and the smile on her face was bright and soft, "Looking forward and living well is the best thank you for me." ”
After a long time, Qiao Yixia thought back to this day to understand how much courage Lu Xifei used to say those words to herself. At that time, she cried and fell into her arms, completely ignoring that when she was comforting herself, she was also recalling the disaster she had experienced, and every relief she gave herself was a piece of flesh on her heart with a knife.
But what she endured was not only the pain of recalling the past.
Leaving this place does not mean completely abandoning this memory, but no longer obsessing with the past, hiding it deep in the bottom of her heart, it can no longer be a thorn in Qiao Yixia's heart, but a beautiful cinnabar mole, every time she is confused, thinking about that cute and ignorant teenager, she will have more courage.
And Lu Xifei is not too different from the previous table. Because people like them have loved face more than a qiē since childhood, even in front of the person they love the most, they must protect their self-esteem on a certain level.
treat her as a normal person and don't give her special treatment, then she will find the most ordinary self in this ordinary.
"Firmament."
It was rare that the light was not turned on in the bedroom, and the moonlight poured in through the window, and it was dressed in a white gauze robe, demure and bright, pure and soft. It was as if in this world full of dirt, she was the last round of clarity.
"I'd love to marry you." She looked up at her, obviously just a woman about her age, why every moment of her despair, as long as she hid in her arms, she felt that every problem could be solved, and with her, she never seemed to have to worry about anything. She is not a superman, but she is someone who can protect her life, "I think, in this world, there will never be anyone who loves me more than you." ”
"Maybe we are destined to not be able to have a complete marriage ceremony that belongs to them like Shang Lu and Bai Ying, and we don't even have the opportunity to spend ten yuan to get a marriage certificate at the Civil Affairs Bureau. It doesn't matter if we don't get recognized by the law, and it doesn't matter if we don't have relatives to support us. Being able to let us meet each other in the vast sea of people, and being able to let our two nasty ghosts who no one dares to approach close to each other and like each other, is already God's greatest favor for us. ”
"I can't always leave a broad shoulder for you to lean on like a man, because I have female blood in my body, and I will also have times of loss or grievance, and there will be times when I hide in your arms and don't want to come out. What I have is nothing more than a heart that wants to be with you for the rest of my life. I want a lot of people to know that no one can stop us from being together, and I want everyone to know that I have the best lover in the world, and her name is Luci Bloom. I loved her until the end of my life. I love her. ”
