Chapter 402, Survival!

Zhou Fan suddenly spoke, and everyone put down the soup bowl and looked at him with puzzled eyes. On such occasions, it is indeed very rude to drink soup while others are talking.

The Fang family is very polite!

Zhou Fan's face was slightly red, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead because of nervousness, of course, it was also possible that he was smoked by the soup pot placed in front of him. His legs trembled slightly under the table, and his stomach secreted a large amount of saliva, which he swallowed quietly.

His gaze was a little evasive, and he didn't dare to make eye contact with anyone. But he soon realized that this dodge was actually a kind of thief's heart, so he quickly raised his head again.

Fang Huwei looked at Zhou Fan with a smile and said, "Don't be nervous. It's all a family, what can't you say? Childlike words, in front of me you are all a group of children. If you scold me for a few words tonight, I won't be angry with you—at most, I'll be taught a lesson by my apprentices. Is it still possible to make a feud? ”

Zhou Fan smiled awkwardly, looked at Fang Huwei and said, "I have a few words to say - I want to toast your father with a glass of wine first." ”

Everyone laughed, Fang Yixing looked at Zhou Fan and said, "I thought it was a big deal." If you want to respect, we won't stop you—but I've already told the old man at dinner that he only has three cups for tonight. After three glasses, don't drink any more. He's already touched a cup with everyone just now, you have to toast, this is the second cup. However, I can't guarantee whether the old man drinks it or not. ”

Zhou Fan picked up the wine glass in front of him, looked at Fang Huwei and said, "Dad, I want to apologize to you." I've done a lot of jerk things over the years - you've put your eyes in my hands, and I've always wronged her. Especially in the last few years, because I have made a little achievement in my work, and then I feel that I am invincible, and I don't care about anyone. ”

"The first few times I came back to see you, I pushed it away on the grounds that I was busy with work. It's a busy job - but if you do have to take time off, you can find time. I just think—"

"You think our Fang family is too poor, isn't it too biased?" Fang Huwei asked directly.

Zhou Fan felt even more ashamed and said, "Yes." I always felt that Swallow Dock was too remote, and that the people here were always straight-backed, walking with a tiger's air, and looking better than anyone else. I felt awkward in my heart—"

Zhou Fan drank all the wine in the cup and said, "I know I'm wrong. No matter how remote Yanziwu is, it is also Yiyan's hometown. No matter what happens to the Fang family, they are also my relatives - I shouldn't have come to get along with you with a showy and proud attitude. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been bumped over and over again—"

Fang Huwei touched his big bald head, looked at the juniors present and asked, "You say, should I drink Zhou Fanjing's cup of wine?" ”

"You should drink it." Fang Mengying and Fang Mengxiang shouted. Children just like to join in the fun.

"You should drink it." Fang Yixing said.

"Dad, you give Zhou Fan a chance." Fang Yiyan said with red eyes: "Since he has made his words clear, it proves that he sincerely apologizes." ”

Fang Huwei nodded, then raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup.

"I've been waiting for this wine for too many years." Fang Huwei put down the empty cup, looked at Zhou Fan and said.

"Dad, I'm sorry." Zhou Fan's eyes were red. "I've let you down."

"Disappointing indeed." Fang Huwei said with a smile. "Now that I can say this, I can salute this glass of wine - it proves that Fang Yiyan is not wrong, and my Huwei is not blind to marry my daughter to you."

“――”

Zhou Fan poured himself a glass of wine again, looked at Fang Yan and said, "Fang Yan, I want to toast you for this glass of wine-"

Fang Yan smiled and said, "Whether it's based on age or seniority, why can't it be my turn?" ”

"Fang Yan, I must toast you with this glass of wine." Zhou Fan said in a firm tone. "There are some contradictions between the two of us, and I know that you have always been very dissatisfied with my brother-in-law-"

Fang Yan nodded seriously and said, "Sometimes I also think about it, don't want my brother-in-law-"

"You know a lot of things. It's just for your sister-in-law and for the sake of family harmony, so you pretend that nothing happened. This time, I also came with hostility - I didn't want to come, but I insisted again and again, in order to go back to my hometown for the Spring Festival this year, she and I persisted for more than half a year - thank you, thank you for your tolerance of me, thank you for accepting me. Fang Yan, let him pass the past, this glass of wine, I respect you. ”

Zhou Fan's tone was sincere and his eyes were sincere, and he was Fang Yan's elder, the elder took the initiative to apologize to a junior, Fang Yan couldn't pretend to be cold no matter what, picked up the wine glass in front of him and clinked glasses with Zhou Fan, and said with a smile: "My brother-in-law said it too strictly, I have always had hope for you - I think you can save it again." ”

“――”

Lu Wan scolded: "Fang Yan, how can you talk to your brother-in-law? ”

Fang Yan and Zhou Fan drank all the liquor in their cups at the same time, and Zhou Fan poured himself a third glass of wine.

Fang Huwei looked at Zhou Fan and said, "What good things to say slowly, what good wine to drink slowly - you can drink all the good words in one breath, and then you can't speak?" Still drinking? Put the cup down and take a sip of soup to moisten your intestines. ”

Fang Yiyan also persuaded and said: "Old Zhou, you rest first - everyone understands your intentions, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Zhou Numerology was about to come over to pick up the wine glass in his father's hand and said, "Dad, who do you want to toast with this cup of wine, I'll drink it for you-"

Zhou Fan pushed Zhou Numerology away, and said with red eyes: "This glass of wine, I respect everyone - everyone present." I'll do it first for respect. ”

After speaking, Zhou Fan drank the liquor in the cup in one gulp, put the cup on the table, picked up the broth in front of him, and said, "This soup is really fragrant." ”

The others glanced at each other, and each took a small sip of the broth in front of them. After Zhou Fan's 'confession', the temperature of the soup has dropped a little, and now the taste is just right-

Click――

"Whew-"

Click――

"Whew-"

Click――

"Whew-" -

Zhou Fan ran crookedly in the snow, and was slipped by the hard ice slag several times. His body fell into the snow nest, his body still gliding forward along the smooth snow and ice, and before he could stop his body, he was already trying to get up and run forward again.

He ran out of strength with every step, and when he ran here from Fang's house, he was already exhausted, his breathing was short, his chest seemed to be pressed by a big stone, and there were bursts of dull pain every time he beat.

He hadn't exercised in a long time.

The night is dark and the wind is high, and the weather is cold and freezing.

There is no moon in the sky, not even a star. Luckily, there is still snow on the ground, which can illuminate and guide the way.

Zhou Fan's glasses ran away, and the scene in front of him was a blur for him. He ran here by feeling, by memory.

This is where he met the black-robed man.

"You come out—you come out—" Zhou Fan stood in the snow and shouted, "I've completed the task, I've completed the mission—"

No one answered.

In addition to startling a few forest birds, the forest birds bounced down a few ice ridges, and the ice ridges fell to the ground and broke into sections, without any human sound coming.

"I've completed my mission, you give me the antidote, give me the antidote-"

Whoosh -

A black-robed man appeared behind Zhou Fan.

"Are you sure you're done?" The eerie voice of the black-robed man rang out. This is the most ugly sound Zhou Fan has ever heard, like a mouth full of sand in his mouth, and like the sound of countless earthworms rustling holes in the fertile land.

"Yes, I'm done. I got the job done—I poured the poison into the soup, and they all finished it—and everyone drank a bowl. Zhou Fan's voice trembled and shouted, his upper and lower teeth clucking violently. It seemed like he was afraid of what he had just done, and it seemed like he was naturally afraid of the black-robed man in front of him.

"Really?" The black-robed man sneered. "Then you tell me - what are the symptoms of the person who has drunk the soup?"

He wouldn't believe anything Zhou Fan said, even if this person's life was in his hands, even if he could pinch him to death at any time. It's like pinching a weak ant to death.

Zhou Fan calmed down a little, spoke more coherently, and said, "There are no symptoms. I saw that they had drunk the soup and ran out of the toilet under the pretext of going to the toilet - they had no symptoms. It's all right, it's not dead—"

The black-robed man's voice was grim as if he was from hell, and said, "Of course they won't die. At least not to die now. Because I'm giving you a lost soul - it's a chronic poison. It will fuse with blood, destroy the body's hematopoietic function, corrode people's spiritual will, and make normal people slowly become a waste. Finally, three months later, he will die as if he had a chronic disease. ”

This is Swallow Dock, how can you casually kill people?

But if it's this silent death, when they know the truth, it's already three months later. At that time, who could still find traces of their poisoning?

Time is the best accomplice, and he can hide the key evidence left by the murderer.

"If ordinary people are fine, but for those who practice martial arts-the deeper the inner strength and abundant gas, the more painful it will be when they die-" The black-robed man looked at Zhou Fan and said, "Fortunately, the Fang family is all martial arts practitioners. ”
