Chapter 330: Blood Debt and Blood Repayment
The ring is presented in a royal blue velvet box, with a large diamond and an engagement style.
Tang Jingcheng covered his mouth with his hand next to him, closed his teeth slightly, and closed the box.
"The relics of the deceased are basically here, you can check again, and if there is no problem, go over there and fill out a list."
"Thank you!" Guan Luo took the dust bag handed over by the police, the blue velvet box was still in his hand, Tang Jingcheng began to bite the fingers of his left hand hard, Guan Luo blocked her hand: "Don't bite, let's go." ”
He took Tang out of the way, and as soon as he walked into the courtyard, the young policeman behind him chased after him again, holding a few folded pieces of paper in his hand.
"Wait a minute!"
Guan Luo turned around: "Anything else?" ”
"Are you the family of the deceased?"
"......" Guan glanced at Tang Jingcheng next to him and nodded: "Sort of!" ”
"Then do you know who Brother Jiu is?"
“……”
Guan was stunned for a moment. Tang Jingcheng took a deep breath: "He's the ninth brother, what's wrong?" ”
The police officer looked Guan up and down slightly, and handed him a few pieces of paper in his hand: "We found a letter in the pocket of the deceased's coat, and the envelope reads 'Brother Jiu personally opened', which can be regarded as the deceased's suicide note, but the original cannot be given to you according to the regulations, and it needs to be filed together as evidence at the scene." ”
The police officer said halfway, and then looked at Tang Jingcheng who was standing next to Guan Luo, her face was very bad, and her arm kept wrapping around Guan Luo's arm.
"But since the deceased brought the letter with her, it means that she wants you to see it, so I'll make a copy here, if you feel the need, take it with you."
Thin sheets of paper, folded into squares.
The police officer held the letter in front of Guan Luo, but he didn't reach for it or refuse, but he felt that the sunlight in the yard suddenly became very dazzling.
Tang Jingcheng looked up at the man standing beside him, his face was still expressionless, and his eyes were calm.
It's hard to find a hint of emotion on his face.
He's always been like that.
The officer's face was visibly impatient: "Not going to ask for it?" ”
"Give it to me, have a heart!"
Guan Xiao didn't answer the letter for a long time, but Tang Jingcheng stepped forward to take it, folded the letter again, and put it in his sweater pocket.
"Thank you!"
The police officer snorted in his mouth, probably because he had never seen such a "family member"!
Ya Lan has completed all the formalities, and the body has been taken out of the morgue, and it sparks directly.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Ya Lan came back with an urn.
"Bring Yun Ling back?" Tang asked in surprise.
Guan Luo shook his head: "No need, since she chose to come here, it means that she wants to stay." ”
This is the last stop in Ye Tan's life, he shot himself in front of Lao Mai's tombstone, and chose to end his life at the age of twenty-five in this way, Guan slightly didn't understand.
Yesterday afternoon, he received a call saying that Ye Qin committed suicide, and he even hated it at the time, how could he be so irresponsible? But just now he looked at the photos of the crime scene at the police station, one of which was taken from behind, Ye Tan knelt alone in front of Lao Mai's tombstone, holding a gun in her right hand, blood stained the grass next to her, and her entire upper body was leaning on Lao Mai's monument.
At that time, the sunset was thick, and the golden light was shining obliquely from the distant mountain, and there should be wind at that time, because the hair in Ye Tan's ears was blown up a little, but she couldn't see her expression clearly.
However, Guan Luo saw the "hug" from that photo.
"She walked in Lao Mai's arms, so let her stay in Ping County."
Ye Tan did not have a memorial service, nor did he have a funeral. Guan Luo arranged for someone to go to the mountain to buy her a piece of land, next to Lao Mai.
The stele was newly made, and Ya Yuan knelt on the ground with a brush dipped in lacquer to paint red, and the other two men wrung wet towels from the stream to wipe the blood splashed on the stele of Lao Mai.
It's really a blood debt!
"When I asked Lao Mai to come to Jiurongtai to help me, he agreed. But he asked me to promise him one condition! Guan Luo stood in front of the monument, holding a cigarette in his hand, "He said to help me, don't join the club, don't mix with the gang, and never let him do anything with blood on his hands!" ”
His voice was still very cold and faint, and he didn't know who he was talking to.
Everyone was doing things in front of him, and Tang Jingcheng didn't say anything.
He continued, smoking a cigarette, spitting it out, and snorting: "I did it, for so many years, he only took care of thyme, it was a place of wind and snow, and there was no one underneath, and naturally there was no blood without anyone, and his hands were always clean......
The shutdown eased slightly.
There was too much blood on the tombstone, and the photo of Lao Mai was dyed red, and some of it had seeped into the words on the tablet, which was Lao Mai's name - Mai Boming.
Guan slightly squinted his eyes and continued: "But someone has to do something bloody." It was me when the old man was there, and he said that I was the sharpest knife in his sleeve...... Later, the old man left, I went up, Ye Tan followed me, and she became the knife in my sleeve......"
Lao Mai repeatedly insisted on not doing bloody things. But all the bloody things were done by Ye Tan.
She entered Jiurongtai at the age of sixteen, and she was the only one who mixed in with her share, and she was still so young.
It's really ruthless, but it's still a woman in the end.
"Lao Mai died for her, but she finally died in front of Lao Mai's grave, is this a life worth a life?" Guan Xiao took two puffs of cigarette hard, and Tang Jingcheng felt that his voice was a little hoarse, walked over, and smiled bitterly.
"This doesn't count as a life for a life, there is no reason for that!"
"yes, there's no reason for that!"
But she was still gone, still with a child in her belly.
The child is five months old, and Lao Mai asked him to leave the child behind before he died, saying that he was leaving a queen for the Mai family, but in the final analysis, Lao Mai wanted to keep Ye Tan. wants to use that unformed life to give Ye Qin life.
He knows Guan Luo too well, so many years of brother, he naturally knows that this man attaches great importance to affection, but he still has a fork in the calculation, and he is right Guan Liu's affection. But it didn't count a single tendon against Ye Tan.
Guan Luo was actually a little annoyed in his heart, he really shouldn't have released Ye Tan so easily.
Tang Jingcheng could understand his mood at this time, as if he had a lot to say, but looking at Guan Luo's dark eyes, she could only shake his hand.
His hands were very cold, rough lines, Tang Jingcheng wrapped it: "Don't be like this, no one wants to, but the ending has happened, you and I can't change it, and Ye Qin is no longer a child, she should think and judge her behavior, since she has chosen to take this road three or four times, it means that she has considered all the consequences clearly!" ”
Ye Qin cut his veins before, and he had committed suicide once.
After being discharged from the hospital, Tang Jingcheng also talked to her specifically, and she said everything, but in the end she still chose to end herself, and she went all the way to Lao Mai's grave.
"Some choices may not seem the most correct to others, but they may be the best for those who make them."
Tang Jingcheng still remembers the text message she received in the studio yesterday afternoon.
"You told me that the gods exist and that they will bless everyone, and I should try to accept this, but you say that life is not easy, and every life deserves to be respected and cherished, and I can't admit that, because you have not experienced the despair of being truly abandoned. If one day you realized that you walked alone in the wilderness like I did, maybe you wouldn't think like that again......"
According to the time, when Tang Jingcheng received this text message, Ye Qin should have raised her gun in front of Lao Mai's grave, and at this time, she had already returned to the mountain, she stood in front of these two tombstones and looked up, and what she saw should be the same scenery that Ye Qin saw yesterday.
The mountains, the grass and trees, the windy mountain roads, the approaching night, and the lonely and desolate world.
“…… If one day you realize it. Maybe you won't think like this anymore if you walk alone in the wilderness like I do......"
Tang Cheng's heart was shocked, and the mountain wind blew across his face.
There was such a deep hatred between her and this woman, and now she stood in front of her tombstone, looking at the desolate mountain opposite. She suddenly felt that all the scars could be forgiven in an instant.
It turns out that the most painful thing is not the sea of swords, not the skin and flesh, but being thrown into a lonely world, the vast wilderness, and you need to move forward alone.
Tang Jingcheng turned around and suddenly hugged Guan Luo's waist, Guan Luo's body stiffened, and he quickly threw away the cigarette in his hand: "What's wrong?" The palm of his hand gently patted Tang Jingcheng's shoulder.
Tang Jingcheng shook his head: "It's nothing!" ”
But in his heart, he silently said: "Fortunately, I still have you..."
It was already dark when I came down from the mountain.
The temperature dropped, and Guan Xiao took off his coat and wrapped it around Tang Jingcheng.
"Brother Jiu, do you want to go back tonight or stay for one night?"
Guan glanced at the girl next to her, the wind had blown her hair up, she pressed the end of her hair with her left hand and carefully followed the person down the mountain.
It seems that she hasn't eaten dinner yet.
"Let's stay for one night, and I'll go back to Yunling tomorrow."
Ya Yu responded and explained, and the subordinates brought by several escorts seemed to be relieved, after all, the return trip was more than seven hours by car, and no one wanted to rush overnight.
The B&B where I stayed last night was not far from this mountain, and it was about half an hour in the past.
The B&B is a three-storey building built on the mountain, there is only one room on the third floor, Guan Luo and Tang Jingcheng live, and the rest live on the second floor. The first floor is the lobby, and next to the hall is the restaurant, and when you enter it, you can smell the aroma of meat.
Maybe it's because I'm hungry, after all, I haven't eaten well after a day outside, and I'm running to the restaurant.
Ya Yu walked up to Tang Jingcheng: "Sister Tang, do you want to have a meal together?" ”
Guan Luo wanted to agree, but Tang Jingcheng hurriedly waved his hand, and before he could open his mouth to speak, he ran outside to the vegetable field with his hand and vomited.
Ya Yu was frightened, he just screamed for food, how could he vomit like this?
"Sister Tang, she... Why don't I go and have a look? Ya Yu wanted to go over, Guan slightly blocked him: "You go inside and pour a glass of warm water." ”
Ya received the order and immediately ran into the house.
Guan Luo walked behind Tang Jingcheng and gently followed her back, Tang Jingcheng finally finished vomiting, lifted up, and leaned on Guan Luo's shoulder with a weak body.
Guan slightly held her waist: "Do you feel better?" ”
Tang Jingcheng frowned: "I felt sick in my chest when I suddenly smelled meat just now, but now it's much more comfortable to spit it out." ”
"Sister Tang, water!"
While the two were talking, Ya Lan had already come out with a glass of water.
Tang Jingcheng hurriedly stood up straight from Guan Luo's arms, took the water cup and drank two mouthfuls of gargle, and did not forget to reach over and touch Ya Yan's head: "Good job!" ”
Ya Yuan stiffened her neck in embarrassment.
Guan Luo watched from the side: "......" was speechless!
