Chapter 174: The Final Destination
"He is your junior brother and my senior brother. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
There was not much explanation, just such a faint sentence, but Mu Lou lost his strength, let go of Li Tang's collar, sat down dejectedly, and for a long time, he spit out the turbid breath that had accumulated in his chest.
Li Tang didn't say anything more, got up, and pushed the porridge in front of Mu Lou, he thought, Mu Lou would not be so confused, so that all these things left behind would become Qiu Qi's funeral offerings.
A few days later, the fishing boat fished out the body of Qiu Qi in the shallows, which had been soaked white and unsightly, and if it were not for the costume he was wearing, he would not have recognized it as Qiu Qi.
Mu Lou didn't say a word, and talked to Li Tang and the two of them about Qiu Qi's body and took it away.
And Qiu Qi's funeral was very simple, and it could not even be said to be a funeral, and it was done hastily before Zhao Banzhu was discharged from the hospital.
It's not that Mu Lou doesn't want to do a good job for Qiu Qi, but Qiu Qi committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, and the reason is even more disgraceful, even if they do it, I'm afraid few people will come to mourn.
In the end, the autumn was beautiful for a lifetime, but it only ended up miserable and cold.
The tomb stands on the outskirts of the city, the vicinity is a wilderness, not far away is the farmland, should be the meaning of Mu Lou, not to mention the dots, even the monument is not erected, just a small mound, the cocoon stands alone, but the surroundings are full of peony flowers, I heard that it is the only flower that Qiu Qi likes.
Qiu Qi's life is as warm as fire, and the scenery is infinite, but only the people around him know how lonely he is, everyone praises him and likes him, but they are afraid of him and dislike him, maybe buried in this place is really pure.
On the day of the burial, only Mu Lou, Li Tang, Qin Si, and Mo Nianning and Fu Shulang who were hiding in the shadows were left.
"Let's go back, the master was discharged from the hospital today, it's time to pick up the master." After kowtowing and burning the paper money, Qin Si stood with Mu Lou and them for a long time, and no one made a sound, as if they were all frozen, and it seemed that the soul flew away with Qiu Qi. After a long time, Qin Si remembered that there was something to do when he went back, so he couldn't help but remind.
Mu Lou was still silent, silent, and Li Tang also pursed his lips, his lowered eyes covering the darkness under his eyes.
For a long time, Mu Lou didn't know where to take out a string of sugar gourds, squatted down gently, and put them in front of the grave.
"Qiuqi, the sugar gourd you love to eat, Senior Brother bought it back for you."
Qin Si was stunned, he didn't dare to say another word, he didn't know how long, and he hadn't seen Mu Lou and Qiu Qi as senior brothers.
obviously has a deeper friendship than brothers, but he has been fighting for so many years.
If the two of them were still as good as in the past, maybe Qiu Qi could still listen to Mu Lou's persuasion at the beginning, the result would be different, Qiu Qi would still be the Qiu Qi of Lihuayuan, living happily and willfully, maybe he would be able to live a long life, and he would not end up like this.
"Let's go."
It took a long time for Mu Lou to stand up and pat the dust on his dark gray robe.
And Li Tang was still standing there, without the slightest intention of moving, Mu Lou frowned, and Qin Si shouted again: "Asakyu? Let's go back. ā
"You guys go first, I have something I want to stay and talk to him."
Qin Si also wanted to persuade, but was stopped by Mu Lou: "Come back early." ā
With that, Mu Lou led Qin Si all the way back.
Li Tang stood in front of the grave, the expression on his face was obscure, he knew that what was buried here was just a shell, and it would not take long to rot, and the soul that really belonged to Qiu Qi might have been sent into the soul pawnshop, but Li Tang still wanted to stay and talk to such a "Qiu Qi" for a while.
"You asked me what I am."
Li Tang's voice was mixed with the slight wind in the countryside, and it was a little hazy.
āā¦ā¦ I can tell you now that the place where your soul was sent was my destination. ā
Sighing, Li Tang was a little helpless, more of a sense of powerlessness that had achieved nothing so far: "If I had told you earlier, would you have come to me instead of her?" ā
If Qiu Qi knew that he was also a soul pawn shop, and he could also help Qiu Qi fulfill his wish, then, would Qiu Qi come to him? Would he agree?
Maybe not, but Li Tang felt that even if he didn't agree to use that method, he would definitely find other ways to help Qiuqi.
It's just that it's too late to say this.
"You say you envy me, and you also say that I don't know what to do, and I don't want to let people think about it in my heart, but if you knew what I did, you wouldn't think so."
"It's not that I don't want it, it's that I can't ask for it."
"There is a woman, her name is Su Xuan, she is my benefactor, and she is also the most important person in Ah Ning......" Li Tang paused, half-squinting his eyes, "Ten years ago, I killed that woman in front of Ah Ning. ā
Li Tang was alone on and off, and all he answered was the scent of peony flowers wafting through the air.
"I didn't explain, and no one asked me to explain."
Li Tang thought to himself, if Qiu Qi was still there, what a surprised expression he would have at this time, he would definitely think that he was forced, or that Sister Su Xuan had angered him.
"No one forced me, it was my own decision, and in the end, many things were just a transaction, just mixed with people's hearts, and it became complicated."
Li Tang sighed, his eyes became misty, and the emotions in his eyes became more complicated.
"After that, I thought about selfishly keeping her by my side, but I found that people were retained, but they seemed to be more uneasy than ever."
It seems that this is the most primitive fear, when there is nothing, there is nothing to fear, but once you have something, you will want to hold it in the palm of your hand all the time, for fear that if you are not careful, you will lose it again.
As far as Li Tang is concerned, it is too tiring, he still has a lot of things to do, since Mo Nianning is unwilling to stay, then he naturally can't keep it, not to mention, Mo Nianning said it herself, she is just taking advantage of his guilt.
If so, why would he torture himself any more?
"If there is nothing left, there is nothing to fear. You tell me? Senior Brother ......"
Li Tang finished muttering this sentence in his mouth, and stood in a daze for a long time before following the direction of Mu Lou and Qin Si to leave.
A mound and a string of sugar gourds - this is the final destination of Qiuqi.
"Young Master Fu, to this day, have you ever regretted it?"
Mo Nianning looked at the grave from a distance, until she saw that Li Tang was gone, she asked abruptly, a little lonely and a little blamed between her words, and there was a slight white soft light flashing on her fingertips, but Fu Shulang couldn't see it.
Somehow, she just couldn't help but be unwilling for Qiu Qian. (To be continued.) )
