Chapter 221 [5000 Words]
The next day was Saturday, and after Xin Yao slept at night, she was thinking about going back to Y City to sweep the tomb, plus the photos she had seen in that small room during the day, it was inevitable that she would subconsciously still think about it when she fell asleep.
I don't know how long I've been asleep, Ji Xinyao in the dark has been wandering in a nightmare, the whole person is full of strong uneasiness, her lips tremble, and she whispers: "No...... No, no...... Cover"
"Xin Yao, Xin Yao?" Gu Nancy returned to the bedside and saw that she seemed to be frightened by a nightmare, so she called her softly, reached out and patted her gently on her side sleeping on her back: "Is it another nightmare?" β
"Don't ...... Nancy...... Nancy ......"
"I'm here, I'm here, I'm here." His hand slapped Yan comfortingly behind her back.
As if hearing his voice, Ji Xinyao slowly calmed down, but still didn't wake up, his body instinctively leaned into his arms when he lay down beside him, his head drilled into his arms, and his mouth kept humming and chirping, his hand grabbed the fabric on his chest, as if he would disappear as soon as he let go of his hand.
Her hand wrapped around his neck again, tightly circled, and the strength of the circle made Gu Nancy a little uncomfortable, but he didn't break away, just looked at her so uneasy after falling asleep, but so dependent on her own posture, leaned down and kissed her gently on the tip of her nose.
After a long while, Gu Nancy could barely hear the sound of chirping in her mouth.
Ji Xinyao leaned into his arms and said, "Nancy, don't go, don't go...... Other...... No...... It's not ......"
She kept repeating the words in her mouth, and even tightened her arms around his neck, and as she spoke, she drilled hard into his arms.
Gu Nancy was stunned for a while, lowered her head and looked at her, her eyes were soft, she hugged her gently, and finally she could only hug her tightly in this way, and whispered in her ear to comfort and reassure: "Well, don't go, we won't go, I will always be by your side and the baby, good, don't be afraid ......"
I don't know if Xin Yao, who is still struggling in the nightmare, heard it, but she gradually calmed down completely because of the gentle voice in her ear and the caress under her palm, and then fell asleep again under her patting and comforting.
And Gu Nancy in the dark patted her back over and over again, always soothing her love in her dreams, keeping her eyes open, and didn't fall asleep for a long time.
When Xin Yao woke up, it was already very bright, and her alarm clock was set for 3 o'clock in the morning, because she wanted to catch an early morning plane and fly back to Y City to sweep the grave, so that she could rush to her mother's cemetery before 8 o'clock, but when she looked at the time, it was already more than 5 o'clock in the morning, it was already the weather of spring, and it was already bright outside at five o'clock in the morning, and today's weather seemed to be very good, the sun was very abundant early in the morning, but the other side of the sky was a little dark.
In the transparent room illuminated by the sun, Xin Yao felt a little dazzling, raised her hand in front of her eyes and blocked it for a while, and when she turned her head, she found that Gu Nancy had left for some time, and the half of the bed next to her was cold without a trace of temperature.
Turning his head to look at the cold position beside him for a long time, Xin Yao came back to his senses, reached out and gently stroked the place where he had slept before leaving.
She remembered last night's dream, Gu Nancy in the dream was covered in blood, she couldn't catch him, she couldn't touch him, screamed to catch up with him, but she couldn't touch his face, he walked farther and farther, farther and farther.
It is said that pregnant women's feelings are changeable, and occasionally they will have some strange nightmares to disturb their minds, but this dream is too real, real and terrible, so that she still feels palpitations.
After being stunned for a while, she hurriedly got up and hurriedly ran out of the bedroom, Gu Nancy promised her that she would accompany her back to Y City today, why did she disappear so early?
The panic and inexplicable uneasiness in her heart made her rush out directly, but she didn't see Gu Nancy, she was about to put on her clothes and go out directly, but as soon as she ran to the door, the door in front of her opened from the outside to the inside.
Gu Nancy was already neatly dressed, a slightly solemn black shirt and black cotton trousers, and her neat short hair was clean and fluffy, natural and handsome.
"Awake?" Seeing Xin Yao standing in front of the door, Gu Nancy slowly closed the door and handed her the breakfast she had just bought: "You have been having nightmares last night, you couldn't sleep well, you barely fell asleep a few hours ago, I didn't call you at 3 o'clock, I called the airline, because it was raining at the airport, the plane we booked last night was an hour late, and it hasn't taken off yet, you have some breakfast now, wash it and clean it up, we will drive directly to the airport, find someone to arrange the VIP channel to pass through the security check, and we can catch up." β
The boulder that hung inexplicably in her heart finally fell, and Xin Yao immediately smiled, took the breakfast, and took it out one by one by the table by the table.
Seeing her frowning and smiling for a while, Gu Nancy walked over: "What was your expression when I entered the door just now?" It's like it's about to be bed. β
"It's nothing, I had some nightmares last night, and I haven't recovered from my dreams yet." Ji Xinyao pouted, secretly scolding herself for being naΓ―ve in her heart.
Gu Nancy stirred her good-looking eyebrows and chuckled: "What nightmare?" About me? β
Thinking of the scene in the dream, Ji Xinyao felt uncomfortable for a while, so she turned her head and glared at him: "You also ask in a dream, when did Mayor Gu become such a bastard, eat breakfast quickly, and after eating, we will go back to Y City, go early and return early, so as not to delay your work." β
Gu Nancy just laughed and didn't say anything more.
And in fact, as Gu Nancy said, the sun is still shining here in Nippori, but it is raining heavily at the airport in G City, because there are not many vehicles on the road in the early morning and there is no congestion, so I sped up all the way and arrived at the airport before the plane took off, and found the staff to quickly pass the security check and get on the plane.
When I arrived in Y City, it was more than 8 o'clock in the morning, although it was a little later than expected, but it was not early in the morning, and it was still a little late, but it was better to be late, at least in the cemetery to avoid some people.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, it was raining lightly in Y City, Xin Yao was holding a handful of white chrysanthemums in her hand, wearing a white loose gown and a black coat, Gu Nancy was holding some grave sweeping things for her on the side, and holding an umbrella in the other hand, holding it firmly above the heads of the two.
The two walked slowly into the cemetery in the western suburbs of Y City, this place, Ji Xinyao only has the opportunity to come this time every year, because this place is too remote and too hidden, except for a specific time, no one can come in casually.
Seeing Gu Nancy quietly by her side, when she walked into the cemetery, Xin Yao smiled and turned her head to look at him: "Nancy, looking at this cemetery, do you think that Ji Qiuhang is actually not ruthless to my mother to the point of being too cruel?" β
Gu Nancy didn't say a word, just changed the umbrella to the other hand, took her casually, and gently pressed her in his arms.
Xin Yao continued to smile and looked around: "Do you know what this cemetery is?" This place is where some of the more special death row prisoners in the No. 1 and No. 2 prisons of Y City are buried after they are shot, and it looks quite neat, but he put my mother and these criminals who are still from some family backgrounds together, just so as not to attract the attention of others. β
"Usually no one dares to come here, except for the families of the deceased who come here occasionally, but this place is also very desolate, how many people are willing to sweep the grave of a condemned prisoner all year round? So here, only the two old men in the mailroom outside the cemetery come to clean it. β
"And I, at this time of year, will come over with Xiuli to sweep my mother's grave." Xin Yao chuckled: "But this year, Xiu Li should not come again, her biological mother is still alive, waiting for him to pay respects, and my mother, who has been dead for more than 20 years, ......"
As soon as he said this, Ji Xinyao's footsteps suddenly stopped, and her eyes looked at the straight figure standing in front of Shan Xiaoou's tombstone in a daze.
Gu Nancy's footsteps also stopped at the same time, and both of them looked at the figure lightly.
The man felt two eyes not far away, and slowly turned his head to look at them quietly.
Xin Yao bit her lip secretly, Gu Nancy put down the hand on her shoulder, but at the same time held her hand and led her over: "Shan Lao." β
Shan Lao nodded, looked at Gu Nancy with relief, and then turned his gaze to Ji Xinyao, who was silently holding a handful of white chrysanthemums and did not speak: "Child, I'm sorry for you." β
Ji Xinyao still didn't speak, just paused, then gently put the flower in her hand in front of the tombstone, ignoring Shan Lao's gaze, and bowed slowly.
In fact, Ji Xinyao is not running away from the Shan family, she is just very numb to the qiΔ that her mother has encountered, and the qiΔ she has encountered, and her mother, like her, has never really touched the Shan family since she was a child, and she is a stranger for two generations, so why bother to force her relatives to recognize her relatives because of this layer of blood relationship.
But Shan Lao was able to find here, it can be seen that Shan Lao really has a heart for this daughter, Ji Xinyao couldn't say anything at this moment, just took a step back and leaned on Gu Nancy's side: "Let's go." β
"I went to Ji's house, and I heard that Ji Chengcheng had been locked up for several months and hadn't been able to go back, so Ji Qiuhang and He Manni begged me and begged me to help rescue their daughter." Shan Lao suddenly spoke.
Ji Xinyao paused, raised her head suddenly, and glanced at Gu Nancy, who also raised her eyebrows lightly.
Gu Nancy squeezed her hand and signaled her not to worry, and then looked at Shan Heping, who was standing there quietly: "Shan Lao, do you plan to meddle in the affairs of the Ji family?" β
"Nope." Shan Heping glanced at Gu Nancy and walked over slowly: "I only found out what they did to my daughter Shan Xiaoou, but the process and reason for my daughter's suicide back then, I'm afraid I still have to go through Xin Yao's child's mouth to find out, and the Ji family doesn't know that Shan Xiaoou is my daughter, and they still beg me to help with this favor with their relationship over the years." β
Saying that, Shan Heping looked at Ji Xinyao again, thought about it, and then said seriously: "Child, you don't want to recognize me, it's okay, in this way, you come to sue me, should I help me with this favor?" β
"Whether you help or not is your choice, what does it have to do with me?" Xin Yao said coldly.
Shan Lao seemed to be displeased because of her still lukewarm attitude, but he only sighed lightly: "You really think I am old? can't see that Ji Chengcheng, the baby daughter, can be separated from the eyes of the Ji family to get Ji Chengcheng's baby daughter into the game, and no one can drag the relationship to keep people out, is it through Nancy's hands? Nancy's personality, I know, if it weren't for Ji Chengcheng, a girl who made something really angry, he would never treat Ji Chengcheng like this, but the Gu Ji family still has a bit of kinship, right? β
"Child, you tell me the truth, what's going on between you and the Ji family? Since Ji Qiuhang is your father, why didn't he say a word to you when I went to Ji's house? And when I mentioned you, why did He Manni avoid the topic? Shan Lao squinted, and suddenly looked at her with a little stern: "I went to the prison yesterday and saw a person, that person is called Xu Limin." β
As soon as she heard these three words, Ji Xinyao felt uncomfortable, she frowned, and glanced at Shan Lao coldly.
Shan Lao only smiled lightly: "If my guess is correct, behind this surname Xu is also the Ji family." Xu Limin will be executed by lethal injection next month, but information about him has been kept tight. β
Shan Lao smiled again: "It can be seen that in order to prevent you from affecting your relationship when you are pregnant, Nancy has completely excluded this bastard surnamed Xu from your life, and he doesn't plan to let you contact you again at all, he does protect you very well now, but Xin Yao, you don't want to recognize me, and you should let me, my grandfather, know how Ji Qiuhang lost my daughter back then, how the Ji family bullied my grandson, and how Ji Chengcheng forced you away alive?" β
Ji Xinyao didn't expect Xu Limin to be arrested unconsciously, turned her head and looked at Gu Nancy in dismay, although he didn't say anything, just smiled softly at himself, and raised his hand to close the coat on her body, but she knew that Shan Lao was right, Gu Nancy is protecting her too well now, he is making her forget that little by little, and he also chooses to let those who hurt her completely disappear when she doesn't know, so as not to think too much.
And Shan Lao was able to say these words, obviously because Shan Lao had used special channels to find out a lot of things, and he was just asking her for verification.
"Regarding Ji Chengcheng's matter, if Shan Lao wants to help the Ji family, then please excuse me, there is not much justice in this country, you have great rights, and you can release a person if you want to let someone out. It's also their blessing that the Ji family can ask for you, I just ask, I have never really imagined in my life that she will really have evil retribution, other people's great cause is protected by someone and someone begging, and now you always come to ask for my opinion, what else can I say? β
For Ji Chengcheng, Xin Yao is reluctant to mention more, whether she is disposed of or released, Gu Nancy has done it for her, she is satisfied, but if Shan Lao has to intervene in this, she doesn't want her husband to confront Shan Lao for no reason, she doesn't want to cause trouble for him.
No matter what Gu Nancy thought, she didn't want to cause him any more trouble.
"Do you think I really want to save that stinky girl?" Shan Lao frowned: "Xin Yao, are you pretending to be confused with me?" β
Shan Lao's tone at this moment was a little excited: "Shan Xiaoou is my daughter after all, I ask you these now, can I still harm you?" You girl......"
"Of course you won't harm me, tiger poison doesn't eat children, even if you used to harm me, now it should be gone, what do I have to be afraid of? Shan Xiaoou chose not to see your father for the rest of his life, so why should I be related to you? Shan Lao, people should be self-respecting! β
"You!" Shan is not light.
"Shan Lao, let's go out and talk?" Gu Nancy opened her mouth at the right time, her voice was faint, but she successfully suppressed Shan Lao's liver fire: "Xin Yao arrived after running around all morning, let her accompany her deceased mother more first." β
Shan Lao twisted his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything more, turned around and left with Gu Nancy.
Gu Nancy gently patted Xin Yao's shoulder before leaving, it was a gentle comfort, Xin Yao understood, and smiled at him hard.
After they walked out of the cemetery, Ji Xinyao took a deep breath, stood silently for a while, and leaned down after easing her mood.
For several years, she has been used to coming to clean up on the day of her death, and she was about to tidy up in front of Shan Xiaoou's tombstone, but suddenly found that it seemed to have been taken care of, and there was one more thing in front of the tombstone, and at a glance, she knew that this must not have been left by Shan Lao.
