Volume 1 The Silent Roar Chapter 41 The Hollow Valley (End of Volume 1)
The quiet, solemn cemetery, in Huadu, is relatively lively here, and people come in every day, but no one comes out except for those who visit.
"Ah Yun, since I went to college, we have rarely been like this, sitting together so quietly, watching the sunrise, watching the sunset, talking about what we have seen, what we have encountered, whether it is joyful things or sad things."
Lan Jingjing sat on the ground regardless of her image, completely without makeup, that was the most real her, she saw many people around her pointing at her, she was a big star, a public figure, she knew, I am afraid that there will be a lot of news related to her flying all over the sky tomorrow, as well as all kinds of subjective speculations and groundless conjectures.
What is the deadliest thing about celebrities? The scandal, Lan Jingjing laughed at it. Her eyes were clear, and she couldn't hold anyone anymore.
It doesn't matter anymore, she doesn't mind anymore, no matter how big the matter is, it can't hinder her and him from being here, just do what others want to do.
Cheng Jiao is gone, she has naturally become a free person, no constraints, in the past two days, many entertainment companies have contacted her in the hope that she can sign a contract again, but she has rejected them one by one, to be a star, to make money or something, without Zhao Yun, she feels completely meaningless, and she doesn't know who to show to, and who will applaud her, shout for her, and cheer for her.
"Flowers?" Lan Jingjing noticed that next to Zhao Yun's tombstone, two clusters of flowers had been placed.
"It's them." Lan Jingjing thought of those two people, and said with a slight smile: "You are still amazing, you have two good friends who are willing to pay for your life and death, unlike me, I know all over the world, I know no one, I know thousands of people, but when it comes to friends, there is no one." ”
Lan Jingjing smiled miserably: "Isn't it sad, you are really stupid, you have always wanted to save me who is sad, and in the end you lost your life." ”
Lan Jingjing let out a long sigh. No one hugged her anymore and comforted her and said it was okay, no one smiled and said everything was okay to her, no one more.
The sky was starting to be overcast, and it was obviously daytime, but the clouds were suffocating.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry.. I'm sorry.. Lan Jingjing kept saying with tears in her eyes, hugging the cold tombstone, "How I hope that I can hug you again and listen to your voice again, whether it is concern or blame, it's good." ”
Many people looked at Lan Jingjing, and in the past, many people would rush to her side to ask for autographs, begging to take photos with idols.
But now, no one has passed, and they don't want to disturb this sad man.
At last it rained, and the heavens seemed to hear her sorrow, and the drizzle of rain slapped on the trees, the branches, the stones, the body, and the heart like a chord with its own unique chord.
Not far away, under the tree, two people were standing, quietly watching all this.
"If she is innocent and whimsical when she stands on the stage, then she has grown up now." Xiao Zheng looked at Lan Jingjing in the distance, crying there was uncomfortable.
"Well, everyone's growth always needs to go through something and pay some, but it's not easy, I, you, aren't all the same?" Hong Wu said, the rain left down her face, and her eyes were misty.
"It's hard to recall the past, let's go, let's go, let her stay here quietly, and tell her what she hasn't been able to say in the past few years."
Xiao Zheng pulled Hong Wu away, and they slowly walked out of the cemetery, looking at that person, this is really a sad place.
"Where to go?" Red Dance asked.
"I don't know, just go for a walk."
"Okay."
The two did not have an umbrella, strolling on the streets of Huadu, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the two kept walking, walking without purpose. looked at the pedestrians coming and going around for a while.
are all busy, Huadu's life has always been like this, busy with life, busy with death, will not be prosperous because of one more person, and will not be left behind because of who is missing.
The two didn't speak until they finally unconsciously came to the door of the Huadu Police Station, where Xiao Zheng was still working not long ago.
"People are really the product of consciousness, and the desire in your heart is still here." Hong Wu smiled and said, "If you were still a policeman, this matter might not be like this." ”
Xiao Zheng glanced at her, knowing that she was trying to persuade herself to go back, and shook her head slightly, "I can't go back, even if I go back, I can't do such a thing, otherwise my friends, Lin Feng and Sun Xueying won't be in pain." ”
Justice is difficult, there is no problem with the system, and it is the people's hearts that have problems.
The two kept walking, went to many places, and finally returned to the slums, and saw Lan Jingjing in a familiar place, she returned here directly after returning from the cemetery, a little earlier than Xiao Zheng and the others arrived.
"Why, don't you go in? Unlike us, your body is weak, and if you get wet here, you will get sick. Hong Wu walked over and persuaded.
"It's okay, people always have to change, and here, I'm able to stay awake. I have something to look for you. Lan Jingjing looked up at the two of them.
"Something." Xiao Zheng asked.
"Allow me to join your group of thieves." Lan Jingjing said with a firm look in her eyes, "The last time I found Zhao Yun before, he mentioned your matter and said that you are his benefactor and mine. What he didn't finish, I'll come. ”
"The Monster Thieves are not what he wants to do, what he wants to do is just to make you free, if you are chained here, then what is the point of what he does?" Xiao Zheng told her.
"No, this is my sincerity, in the past few years, I have performed in many places, I have seen a lot of things, the unspoken rules of all walks of life, those dirty haze under the sun, maybe I am unfortunate to enter Chengjiao, but at least I have Ah Yun, and those who are more unfortunate than me are there, who are they?"
"Have you decided? You are a public figure, once exposed, you know the results, and the only thing waiting for us is the cold iron bars, where there is absolute freedom. Red Dance glanced at her, "You'd better think about it." Once started, there is no way back. ”
Leeway? Lan Jingjing smiled and raised her hand, and said coldly: "My hands are also stained with blood, Ah Yun is pure white, he found me all the way and didn't take anyone's life, but I'm already burdened with a lot of life debts, do you think I still have a way out?" ”
"But you, after all." Hong Wu wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Xiao Zheng.
"Okay, are you going to keep singing?" Xiao Zheng asked.
Lan Jingjing was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "I will, but I need to rest for a while, on the stage, I am Lan Jingjing, and other than that, I am Youlan." ”
"The hollow valley orchid, where the secluded temple is, an orchid is fragrant." Xiao Zheng read softly, looking up at this Lan Jingjing, "That will be a difficult road to take." ”
"I'm still alive, I'm not even afraid of death, do I still care about this?" Lan Jingjing closed her eyes, from now on, her life will say goodbye to the past, before and after, it is really hypocritical, her performance will be in the bits and pieces of life, until she really loses herself.
After finishing speaking, Lan Jingjing turned around and left, returning to Zhao Yun's house.
"Teach her." Xiao Zheng patted Hong Wu on the shoulder and left.
Teach her? Teach her how to kill? Or teach her how to face the world hypocritically? Red Dance lowered her head, is this really a good result? She didn't know, but she felt that looking at this kind of situation, there was an indescribable discomfort in her heart.
It was another morning, and the cuckoo, the cuckoo, was calling.
A new day has begun.
"Baked cakes, freshly baked, hot baked cakes, come, everyone come and try them."
The beautiful female voice wandered in the slum square.
In that familiar street, the clamor stopped for a few days and then began again, but it was no longer the same person.
Lan Jingjing pushed the cart of baked cakes, her white hands were kneading the dough, and the heat was just right.
In the first few days of her return to the slums, her experience was indeed unsatisfactory, and all kinds of insults and unpleasant words filled her. No one bought her pancakes either.
One day, two days, three days, no matter what kind of people she was facing, what kind of filthy words she was facing, Lan Jingjing would also push the stall of baked cakes on time, branding, and screaming. But he didn't make any excuses for himself.
After a long time, there are customers in front of the baked cake stall, and there are fewer insults, maybe many people know the reason, even if they don't know, probably the eyes and hearts can't hide from people.
"Brother Zheng'er? Go to work, come, get ready for you. ”
Xiao Zheng turned around and caught the bag of baked cakes thrown over, it was still hot. Xiao Zheng looked at the baked cake stall, and the two figures gradually coincided.
At least, all the people who eat the yakiniku have a feeling.
The same taste, the same texture, two different people, making the same kind of baked cakes.
