Chapter 12: Compromise
Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~
Bai Chen rushed to Guanlin Village outside the city overnight, speaking of which, it was actually his homeland, where his mother was buried.
Guanlin Village is haunted?
The power of attorney given to him by Brother Sheng is clearly stated on it, and at least seventy percent of it may be the work of resentful spirits.
But Bai Chen couldn't figure it out, although it was poor, the folk customs were quite simple, it wasn't like a place where there would be resentful spirits, how could there be such a thing as resentful spirits?
The so-called resentful spirit is that there is hatred in the heart, the obsession with this life is too heavy, and the soul does not want to die after death. The deeper the hatred, the stronger the power, and may even turn into an entity on its own, blending in with the crowd, no different from ordinary people.
The closer you get there, the more uneasy you feel.
And equally uneasy, there is Du Sheng.
After Bai Chen left, he stayed awake all night, and sat in the room all night, thinking about what had happened and what was going to happen, until the early morning light shone on him through the window, and then he sighed and went straight to the Siguo Pavilion.
It's already the eleventh day.
The door of the Siguo Pavilion was opened, and the dazzling light poured in, Du Sheng stood in a gray robe, standing in the backlight, and the figure in the room leaned against the edge of the stone bed, his breathing so weak that he could barely feel it, like a puppet abandoned in the dark.
Hearing the voice, Mo Nianning's eyes moved, and he looked at the figure at the door fixedly.
Du Sheng came in and straightened her, sat on the edge of the stone bed, and glanced around, there was still a faint smell of blood in the air, which was left by Li Tang, because it was not ventilated, so it could not be dissipated for a long time.
"Li Tang is awake." As soon as Du Sheng's words came out, Mo Nianning's eyes moved again, and after a moment of silence, Du Sheng continued, "In ancient times, there was a way to make up for your mistakes, although you have violated the taboo, you will not have to atone for your sins with death. ”
“…… No...... Don't tell him. Mo Nianning's lips opened and closed several times, and finally said these words in a barely audible voice.
Even now, she still doesn't forget to be strong. If this catastrophe can be passed safely, then she will continue to hate Li Tang until the day when each other's heartbeats and breathing stop.
What a contradiction, and how deep it is.
Su Xuan and Li Tang, she doesn't want to give up, so it's better to think that she is greedy.
"Okay." Du Sheng looked at her eyes, just like a father looking at his sick daughter, distressed and helpless, "Let's go." ”
After this experience, maybe Du Sheng should think about whether it is time to change the rules of Siguo Pavilion.
He brought Mo Nianning out, intending to let her make up for it, so the matter is not over, maybe it will be clearer to say this, the matter has just been kicked off.
"This is Duan Nian, Mr. Duan." After two days of recuperation, Mo Nianning finally had the strength, and the Mr. Duan that Du Sheng said was the young man next to Duan Huaining, and Li Tang and she were both rescued by Duan Nian.
Mo Nianning just said hello from a distance and sat down on the sofa, the two men didn't know what they were talking about, she couldn't hear it clearly, and she didn't have the heart to ask.
"Ah Ning, come over here." was in a daze, Du Sheng beckoned to her, "You go back with Mr. Duan and listen to his instructions." ”
Mo Nian glanced at Duan Nian, who was sitting there, it turned out that this young man was not only here to save people, but also the employer here.
It's just that, looking at his appearance, he doesn't look like a poor person, a black tunic of high-quality materials, low-key and calm, and he doesn't look like a person who pursues extravagant power. So come here, one is not for money, and the other is not for power, that is for hatred.
"I see." It can't be a simple deal that needs her to follow the past. Most of the commissions were taken by Brother Sheng, and she didn't need to ask about the details.
Everyone has their own helplessness, everyone has their own pain, and outsiders have no right to ask, let alone empathize.
To atone for her sins, she only needs to remember these four words.
There is nothing more valuable in this world than life.
There was also a person sitting in the car that came to pick them up, wearing a light-colored windbreaker, with a smile on the corner of his lips, but his eyes were unfamiliar and reasonable, revealing the unique shrewdness of a businessman: "Miss Mo, please." ”
Since he accepted the commission, he had nothing to scruple about, and finally glanced at the plaque of the soul pawnshop, Mo Nian bowed down and sat in, smiling back at the smiling young man beside him.
Duan Huaining, more than 20 years ago, Tang Yuan'an, an orphan of the Tang family. After disappearing for more than ten years, he suddenly emerged in Night City, with only a young man called Duan Nian by his side, and the two were like brothers and sisters, and their relationship was as indestructible.
Before leaving, Du Sheng's message to Mo Nianning was the only one.
More than twenty years ago? It seems that there is such a shocking headless case, overnight, the Tang family was wiped out, the means were crisp and neat, and a fire burned all the traces.
Some people say that the enemy came to the door, and some people say that it is a ghost, and there are different opinions, in short, the case is not resolved, and the real murderer is at large.
However, she felt that it was more likely that the villain committed the murder.
Although he has not really witnessed the true face of the Tang family, but a person's style and bones have always been affected by the environment, more than 20 years ago, Duan Huaining was about eight or nine years old, and the most profound influence on him should be the atmosphere of the Tang family.
Duan Huaining is like this, then the Tang family back then should be some humble people.
In short, the purpose of this commission should be clear - to uncover the facts of the year, to stab the murderer, and to comfort the souls of the undead who died tragically.
The black Buick drove the three men out of the hidden alley, little by little into the heart of Night City, and the soul pawnshop returned to peace after they left.
"What are you going to do?" Du Sheng was carrying a kettle in the yard, taking care of the potted flowers, and Li Tang was standing behind him, dressed neatly, looking like he was going out.
Li Tang looked at the direction in which the Buick car left and was silent.
In fact, as early as five days ago, he woke up, although the wound on his back had not healed, but consciousness had been restored, and the fever had subsided.
"How is Ah Ning treating you, do you know now?" Du Sheng put down the pot, turned around, and faced the stunned Li Tang.
He still didn't speak, just kept his eyes calm, looked in the direction of the door, and made up his mind for a long time: "I'm sorry, Brother Sheng." ”
Du Sheng sighed: "That's it, since it's been decided, then you can go, but, don't forget the way back." ”
"Hmm."
That's right, he's leaving, not in a day or two, not in a year or two, it's even longer, and it's not even certain if he'll be able to come back. When he was unconscious, he dreamed of too much of the past, and there were more important things waiting for him to break than to be entangled in ****.
Brother Sheng told him that Ah Ning invited herself to Siguo Pavilion to be punished for him, and if she really just hated him, she wouldn't be like this. That's enough, it's enough to know that she still has him in her heart, but what does it matter if it can happen in the end?
The destination of the heart is the destination, and this destination, after all, still has a place for him, what more can he ask for?
