When He Yichi rushed to the hospital to pick me up, I was about to call Xi Qing and ask her to pick me up, I was standing on the side of the road with some change of clothes and nutritional products very depressed, my face was pale, my body was thin, at first glance it looked like a famine escape, He Yichi got out of the car, he called Miss Feng, I raised my head, he walked towards me quickly, I deleted the number that had not been dialed from the screen, and stuffed it back into my pocket.

He took the big bag in my hand, and said sorry to me, there was a traffic jam on the road, his mobile phone was out of battery, and he ran a few red lights before he crossed from east to west, I quietly glanced at the back seat of the car, and found that it was empty, and Ji Rongke still didn't come after all.

But this is not like his style, he cherishes me very much in the past few days when I am hospitalized, except for not being able to have dinner with He Run, he and I are almost inseparable, and he does not come when I am discharged, which makes me feel that something is wrong.

He Yichi stuffed things into the trunk, I sat in the car, and when he was wearing his seat belt, I pretended to ask him casually, "What about Rong Ke." ”

His hand movements were instantaneous, his pupils shrank, and he seemed to be a little unsure of how to tell me, and I immediately had a direction in my heart, and I stroked my hair while saying, "Are you with He Run." ”

My eyes fell on his face as I said this, capturing his flashes of embarrassment and complexity, and it seemed that I had guessed correctly.

He Yichi was afraid that I would misunderstand, he looked at my expressionless but very gloomy face from the rearview mirror, and hurriedly explained, "Today is Miss He's twenty-fifth birthday, and the whole He Mansion is busy with the family banquet. ”

Of course I don't blame him, I don't have that qualification, he married a wife, has his own family and marriage, no matter what major things happen, he should take He Run first, if one day she is pregnant, even her child will be more noble than my child.

However, I have to say that He Run is a very failure as a wife, her sense of existence is too low, Ji Rongke has so many subordinates around him, she is very strange and cold to this sister-in-law, she is cowardly and timid, and very simple, and it just so happens that Ji Rongke's subordinates can't see such a woman by Ji Rongke's side, until now they call this veritable sister-in-law, they are still an alienated Miss He.

The car was halfway through, it didn't seem to be driving in the direction of the hotel near Carmenyan, but in the opposite direction, I was about to ask where He Yichi was going, the mobile phone in my pocket suddenly rang, I looked at the screen to show, it was He Qu's number, I was stunned, he was not busy with He Run's birthday banquet at this time, what was he calling me for.

Since that day he and He Guici quarreled in front of me, I left the He house, these days have not been contacted, during which a lot of things have happened, I almost forgot this person, I held the mobile phone and did not answer, after hanging up over there, a few minutes later, I was afraid of something important, pressed the answer button.

His gentle and low-alcohol voice came from that side, and he didn't say too much to greet, and directly asked me if I had time tonight, and invited me to celebrate He Run's birthday together.

Of course I don't plan to go, my position is too awkward, He Run and I know it, she probably doesn't want her good days to meet me on a narrow road, so she is not in the mood, I wanted to excuse myself from feeling unwell, but he suddenly said that He Run also wanted me to go over, the banquet was all acquaintances of my father and mother, she had almost no friends, Rong Ke wanted to follow her father to entertain guests, she herself was inevitably very lonely.

I heard him say this, but it was not easy to say no, I hesitated for a moment and could only agree, he asked me for the address to pick me up in the evening, I politely declined him on the grounds that I was on the way with my friend, after we made an appointment, he said to me to see you later, I also replied to him, and then hung up the phone.

I put down the phone and saw the funeral home flashing outside the window, and suddenly thought of something, I asked He Yichi when Huo Yanchen's funeral was, he thought about it, "It was supposed to be burned yesterday, but today the mourning hall has not been withdrawn, the Bai family has disappeared, Mr. and Mrs. Bai have not even shown their faces, obviously do not intend to admit this son-in-law, so as not to offend Kowloon will cause trouble, and the strip is very tight, and there is also a suspicion that the Bai family is covering, at this time, the cleaner the better." The trees are scattered, and the mourning hall is also deserted, but I heard that Bai Mengluan has been there day and night in the past few days, guarding the statue every inch. ”

I was silent, whether as a friend or a subordinate, I have the responsibility to go to the worship to send him on the last journey, He Yichi saw my thoughts, he tentatively asked me if I wanted to go, I asked him if he was on the way, he said that it would be a short time to turn left at the previous intersection, I thought about it for a while and said that I would go over.

Huo Yanchen's mourning hall is located in the hall of his manor, when we drove there, the door was very quiet, the air was quiet, there were no parked high-end cars, no people came and went, not even a single figure, as if everything had never happened, South China died such a person who called for wind and rain, and it was so quiet that I suddenly had a deeper understanding of the indifference in this world.

I got out of the car, feeling a little anxious in my heart that it was difficult to face, Huo Yanchen died from his own bet, but also from my stubbornness, my overconfidence, I couldn't suppress the idea of crowning myself as a murderer, in fact, I could reverse all this, if the door of the south entrance was opened early, and Ji Rongke had not noticed it carefully, he might have been able to escape, and Uncle Jiu's people would never dare to chase into the south entrance.

But no one knows what the outcome would be if that would happen, and there would be no repetition of the same thing in this world.

I followed He Yichi with a solemn face, he raised his hand to ring the doorbell outside the courtyard, the nanny heard it and came out of the living room, she stood on the steps and looked at us, and asked in a low voice Who it was, I said I came to worship Boss Huo, I am his subordinate.

The nanny immediately walked down, she opened the courtyard door, seemed very relieved that someone finally came to worship, her enthusiasm and surprise made me feel particularly uncomfortable, I asked her if anyone had been here in the past few days, she brought me and He Yichi in, while shaking her head and said, "No one came, those who used to stammered with Mr. are far away, you are the first willing to come to worship, Miss has a heart." ”

The nanny's helpless words made my fists clench, I felt a sore throat at this moment, unspeakably uncomfortable, there was no one, more than 300 people were planted in the Carmen banquet, but there were still hundreds of people, they were intact, so they refused to come and give the boss a ride? How much effort can be wasted, and how long their days can be ruined!

I knew that the world was hot and cold, but I never thought that people's hearts were so indifferent and ruthless, Huo Yanchen was arrogant all his life, even if he was a big mistake, he never killed a good person, and fed thousands of employees in the Carmen banquet, who has no ambition, who has no choice of his own, he is not ruthless to these people, and he can't get the last three incense sticks.

The nanny took me outside the mourning hall, and after thanking me for my kindness, I turned around and left, He Yichi followed her to the living room, he didn't plan to worship Ji Rongke's enemy, and I didn't force it.

I was separated from the mourning hall, the window in the corridor on the right side was wide open, but there was not even a trace of wind, I pursed my lips and leaned over slightly, and saw a pair of legs kneeling on the futon from the gap below, it was Bai Mengluan, I vaguely heard her reciting scriptures, one after another, I smelled the strong fragrance of burning in the air, there was a huge brazier on one side of the futon, and paper money was burning in it, my eyes fell on a pair of white-faced black couplets attached to the wall, and my hands suddenly trembled, no matter how I gritted my teeth and restrained it, it was difficult to calm down, Sweat poured out all over my body, wetting my clothes.

My fingertips finally stopped shaking and touched the curtain, but I couldn't lift it, and I couldn't tell how I felt in my heart, just like being burned by a blazing fire, and the pain was awe-inspiring and numb.

When I hesitated and struggled, I suddenly heard Bai Mengluan's hoarse voice say inside, "Yanchen, someone has come to see you." ”

My back stiffened, I wasn't sure if she was talking about me, I thought why Yichi was back, when I instinctively looked back, she suddenly shouted Feng Jin, all my movements stopped abruptly at the moment she called me, we suddenly lifted the curtain hard, she knelt on the futon with her back to me, twisting a string of Buddha beads in her hand, one end of the Buddha beads fell to the ground, there were thousands of them, she wore a plain green robe, her hair hung behind her, and she couldn't take her eyes off the statue of Huo Yanchen in the middle of the mourning hall, and there were words in her mouth.

An eerie chill enveloped me and made me lose my voice.

I was surprised that Huo Yanchen smiled so well in that photo, how long ago was he ago, ten years, or fifteen years, his eyes were still very clear, his smile was pure, just like a simple child, with the simplest years, he never revealed his ambition and cruelty, nor did he deeply feel the blood and darkness of this world, he was just starting out, and embarked on a road of no return that even he couldn't control.

But all my surprise was not as good as the woman in front of me, who was dressed as a nun.

There was a tremor in my voice in disbelief, "You're a monk?" ”

Bai Mengluan's lips closed as she recited the Buddhist scriptures, she stared into Huo Yanchen's eyes, and a trace of heartbreaking tenderness flashed, "Yes." ”

I was so shocked by her answer that I took a few steps back, I staggered against the wall, and steadied myself, as if there were two huge torrents in my heart colliding wildly, she was only thirty years old, did she become a monk like this. From now on, the green lantern ancient Buddha, from now on the years are boring, what is the difference between that and a well.

A woman's best years have not completely passed, does she want to make the final end of the time outside the red dust?

She twisted the Buddha beads and didn't look at me, "Yanchen has killed too many people in his life, you said that such a bloody debt of him, is there no peace after death, heaven can't go, hell can't tolerate, I'm afraid, I actually don't believe anything, but when you care too much about a person, you will believe anything for him." I am willing to spend the rest of my life to spend the rest of my life for him and to clear his sins. ”

Her quiet tone made me inexplicably irritable, I walked over and knelt next to her, I held her fingers that kept twisting beads, "But the Buddha doesn't exist, it's an ethereal sustenance for us who are cornered." ”

She ignored me, and continued to stubbornly recite scriptures that I didn't understand, I finally understood why the Bai family didn't even come alone, their only daughter left home for this dead man, they resented Huo Yanchen, why did they die, and they didn't let Bai Mengluan go, and let her be stupid to such a field. She might as well follow him, spend a lifetime imprisoning herself, and become an empty shadow, so that the living people are embarrassed.

All the words that come to my mouth have become pale and redundant, I don't have a good impression of Bai Mengluan, she is also a famous lady, she is far less innocent and harmless than He Run, He Run is not annoying, even if she doesn't like her, I can't bear to dislike her, but Bai Mengluan is not, she has her excessive pride and possessiveness, her excessive suspicion and sensitivity, but at this moment, I am shocked by her stupidity in love and madness in love.

I slowly let go of my hand, stood up and picked up three incense sticks, and lit the incense head at the burning white wax, I looked at Huo Yanchen who was close at hand, he seemed to be looking at me, he did not have surging desire at this time, no obvious ambition, only a pair of delicate eyebrows and eyes, a warm face, as if a spring breeze was passing through, leaving the last touch of tenderness in this cold world.

Since ancient times, there has been affection and hatred, and men and women can't escape.
