Chapter XVII

Lingzhen's wedding is over. There is one less person in the Liu family, and it suddenly seems to be much quieter. Especially Ling Shan, who originally lived in the same room with two people, now that a bed has been moved, the room seems big and empty. At night, when no one argued with her, argued, debated, raised the bar, and talked to each other, she felt that nothing was right. For a long time, she was very uncomfortable, and when she returned to the bedroom, she would habitually push the door and say:

"Sister, let me tell you ......"

It wasn't until she noticed the change in the room that she suddenly came to her senses. Standing there, thinking that Lingzhen finally married into the Zhang family, and thinking that Lingwu often recited a ballad to mock Zhang Lisong, the first two sentences of which were: "Zhang Xianggong, ride a white horse, ride to the Zhang's house......"

The last two sentences are: "Go home and sell the land,

Marry her! ”

Now, Zhang Xianggong doesn't have to ride a horse to his father-in-law's house to visit "her", because, "let's go," he finally "married her!" Thinking about it, she would giggle stupidly. By the wedding of Zhang Xianggong and Lingzhen, she will think of herself and Wei Pengfei, and the wedding date has been scheduled for the end of the year under the discussion of the two parents. Ling Shan really can't imagine how lonely her family will be after she gets married, but fortunately, the Wei family and the Liu family live next door! Thank you so much for this kind of edifice! She vaguely remembered that the first time she caught Wei Chuchu who was scratching and biting on the stairs, at that time, how could she have expected that this would be the beginning of a marriage! Wei Chuchu, thinking of this child, she has to frown, after the summer vacation, Chu Chu entered primary school, she no longer grabs, bites, kicks and beats people, she gradually has the taste of "little lady". However, her hostility towards Ling Shan has not diminished in the slightest, from a hot war to a cold war, she is always cold, always sharp, always keeps a distance, and is always an iceberg that cannot be melted. No wonder Mrs. Liu often said:

"Everything is good in the Wei family, Pengfei and his parents have nothing to say, it's just that the child is the most worrying thing for me! Alas! Life is fate, and it is fate! Ling Shan," Mrs. Liu suddenly remembered: "What about that Shao Zhuosheng?" What happened to him? Is there a target? "Shao Zhuosheng? Calamity? Less tendons? Yes, Ling Shan hadn't seen him for a long time, only at Ling Zhen's wedding, he hurriedly came to congratulate him, and before the wedding was over, he left early. Later, Ling Shan also lost news of him. However, Ling Shan is so busy, busy with Wei Pengfei to capture the sunset at dusk, the moonlight at night, busy enjoying youth and enjoying love, she still has the energy and time to take care of Shao Zhuosheng?

However, at dusk that day, Shao Zhuosheng came to her!

It was already early autumn, and it was cloudy and rainy all day during the day, and at dusk, the weather was twilight and cool. The phoenix wood at the entrance of the kindergarten has begun to fall leaves, and on the ground, the fine yellow leaves are thinly paved, like a yellow felt. Shao Zhuosheng stood under the phoenix tree, still thin and tall, still beautiful, but on his honest and slightly childish face in the past, now he has a mature and deep depression. "Lingshan, let's take a walk, walk, walk, talk, okay?" He said. Even the tone has a deep power that makes it impossible to refuse.

"Okay." Ling Shan held a book and walked side by side with him on the pavement paved with red bricks. "When are you going to get married?" Shao Zhuosheng asked.

"Let's end the year!" Ling Shan replied bluntly.

"It's almost there!" He gave her a deep look.

"It's almost there." He looked at the red bricks at his feet, and strode forward in silence, as if he wanted to count how many bricks were under his feet. After a while, he smiled and said:

"Lingshan, do you know that for a while, I really wanted to be able to marry you."

"What else is it for?" Ling Shan said lightly deliberately, and also looked at the bricks under her feet, and a trace of apology floated in her heart. However, the apology is also like the evening breeze in autumn, drifting past without leaving a trace. "I think that everyone has their own destiny, what belongs to him, he can't throw it away, and if it doesn't belong to him, he will not come! Shao Zhuosheng, one day, the happiness that belongs to you will come to you! She tilted her head slightly to look at him. Or, already here? Shao Zhuosheng smiled gloomily. Or, I'm having some misery," he said, "I'm forever chasing something that doesn't belong to me." "What do you mean......" she was puzzled. Forget it, don't talk about that! He interrupted her. Lingshan, I wish you happiness! I think you must have made the right choice, you need a man who is more mature, has depth, can give you a sense of security, and has a sense of masculinity! ”

"Oh," she looked at him in amazement. "You've changed! Shao Zhuosheng, you seem to ...... It seems that ...... ""Grown up? He asked. Yes, grown up. "People have to grow up!" He smiled. "Anyway, Ling Shan, I want to bless you!"

"Anyway, I want to thank you!" She smiled too.

He began to be silent again, and he walked for a long time, all thoughtfully. Ling Shan understood that when he came to her today, he was not just going to say these words of blessing, she saw a little depression and a little worry under his eyebrows, and he was very worried. "Shao Zhuosheng," she broke the silence. "Do you have something to do with me?"

"Yes." Shao Zhuosheng admitted, raised his head, he looked at Ling Shan fixedly, and whispered: "For Ah Pei!" ”

"Ah Pei?" She was shocked, glared at Shao Zhuosheng, and rushed out of her mouth: "You won't owe Ah Pei again, right?" ”

"Leave me alone, I was born to pay off my debts!"

Ling Shan was stunned, looking at Shao Zhuosheng in a daze, she was really stunned. In the past, she had a vague feeling that Shao Zhuosheng might be liking Ah Pei, but this feeling has never been specific or confirmed. Now, when Shao Zhuosheng said it, she understood what he had just said: "I am always pursuing something that does not belong to me!" ". She thought about herself, A Pei, Wei Pengfei, Shao Zhuosheng, and Lu Chao...... I couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Between people, it's like a long chain," she said to herself, "One iron ring buckles another iron ring, and each iron ring is related, and one is indispensable." Shao Zhuosheng did not answer, he did not seem interested in her "chain view", his mind was immersed in another matter.

"Ling Shan," he said in a low voice, "Lu Chao finally took his drum away." He secretly opened the door and took it away when Pei went to the song hall to sing. You know, when he took the drum, it meant that he and Ah Pei really broke it off, and he never looked back, he took the drum, and he left the key to the house, and - he paid off all the money he had taken from Ah Pei one after another, indicating that the two of them were clean. ”

"Oh?" Ling Shan's eyes widened, and a feeling of almost fear spread from the depths of Ling Shan's heart, and she felt a chill run down her spine. "So, how is Ah Pei?"

That night, I took her home from the cabaret, and she fainted when she saw that the drum was gone, and when she saw the keys and money. In the past few days, she has been very sick, I want to send her to the hospital, but she refuses, she said, or Lu Chao will come back! "She...... She ...... "Ling Shan was so anxious that she couldn't speak a little. "She's still dreaming! How she's stupid like an idiot! "I'm worried, Lingshan." Shao Zhuosheng looked at her deeply. "Ah Pei's situation is very bad, she seems to have no relatives and no reason, her parents seem to be abroad, she told me that her parents have cut off relations with her, just because she insists on being with Lu Chao. Now, she is sick and weak, she does not eat or drink, and the doctor says that she will be more and less lucky if she goes on like this, I ...... I'm so confused, I don't know what to do! Last night, she talked to me about you, she kept talking about you, talking about you all the time, talking about you groggily. So, I thought, you might have a way to convince her to go to the hospital! ”

Ling Shan stared at Shao Zhuosheng with wide eyes, and was so anxious that she scolded:

"Shao Zhuosheng, I thought you had improved, it turns out that you still have few tendons, inexplicable!" "How?" Shao Zhuosheng was embarrassed and uneasy: "I also know that I shouldn't involve you, I understand that the relationship between the two of you is delicate......"

"Subtle ghost!" Ling Shan said: "I scolded you, because you were confused, because you had few tendons, Ah Pei was so sick that he died, and you were still going around in circles with me, and it took so long to get to the point, you are really terrible!" She waved a taxi. What are you waiting for? We're not going to save people yet! ”

Shao Zhuosheng hurriedly followed Ling Shan into the car, and said happily:

"Lingshan, no wonder Ah Pei keeps praising you!"

"What did she say about me?" She said that you are pure, you are kind, and you will get the highest happiness in life! After saying that, she cried, and cried for a long, long time. ”

Ling Shan's heart was hot, and her nose was sour. Along the way, she stopped talking, but in her heart, there was always a feeling of tension and fear, which was pressing her more and more. She trembled as if a catastrophe was coming. The closer the car got to Ah Pei, the stronger this premonition became. Finally, when the car arrived, they jumped out of the car, rushed into the apartment, connected to the four floors, and Shao Zhuosheng took out the key to open the door. A flash of curiosity flashed through Ling Shan's heart; It turns out that Shao Zhuosheng also has Pei's key! Then, she rushed into the room, ran directly to Ah Pei's bedroom, pushed open the door, and Ling Shan was stunned. The room was empty, there was no one, and the bedding on the bed was messy, proving that someone had slept just now. Ling Shan pushed open the bathroom door, but there was no one, Ling Shan raised her voice and shouted, "Ah Pei!" Ah Pei! Ah Pei! ”

At the same time, Shao Zhuosheng was also looking around in the kitchen and on the balcony, and in the end, they were sure that there was no one in the room, and Pei was gone. Standing in the living room, the two of them looked at each other. "When did you leave Ah Pei?" Ling Shan asked.

"When I went to look for you, it was about five o'clock."

"How was she then?"

"Today she is better, the doctor gave her an injection, she seems to be much better, and she got out of bed to play the guitar for a while."

"Did she say anything?" Ling Shan tried her best to think, and at the bottom of her memory, there was a glimmer of light flickering. "She said something odd."

"What?" "She saidβ€”she shouldβ€”" Suddenly, Shao Zhuosheng's face turned pale, and he glared at Ling Shan. "She said she was going to kill him! I thought it was just a remark from her! He jerked towards the kitchen.

"What are you doing?" Ling Shan asked. "I was looking for a knife, she had a good sharp fruit knife, once she used that knife to cut coconut shells, it was so easy, at that time, she smiled and said: This knife is easy to kill!" Ling Shan's back was numb, and goosebumps all over her body rose.

"Where's the knife?" She asked in a hoarse voice. Shao Zhuosheng rummaged through the drawer.

"No more. She walked away with a knife. He looked at Ling Shan in fear. She has no power to restrain the chicken, will she ......" "Where does Lu Chao live?" Aqiu's family? Ling Shan hurriedly asked, "Do you recognize that place?" "Yes." "Let's go! Fast! Rushed downstairs and called a car, Ah Qiu's house is in Tianmu, the car seems to never be able to drive, the road is so long that it seems to be endless, but Lingshan's blood is condensed bit by bit. She seemed to have seen Lu Chao, covered in blood, with a sharp blade in her chest. And what about Ah Pei? Weak, skinny, wearing a fluttering white dress, but wearing shackles and handcuffs...... She shivered smartly.

Finally, the car stopped in front of a garden house. This garden house, Ling Shan came on Christmas night, but she was already drunk and groggy at that time, and she had almost no impression. Shao Zhuosheng rang the doorbell, turned back to Ling Shan and said:

"It seems to be fine, it's quiet here. If something unexpected happens, it shouldn't be so calm. "Really, this is not like a "murder scene", Ling Shan breathed. I thought to myself, I was a detective and I had seen too much, and my fantasies were too rich. Just as he was thinking, the door opened, and a woman stood in the doorway.

"Excuse me, is Pei here?" Shao Zhuosheng asked.

"It's not long since we arrived!" New to here? Ling Shan's heart pounded again. Sure enough, she came here and brought a knife here, will there be any good things?

"Mr. Lu is not here?" She asked anxiously, or Lu Chao was not at home.

"Yes! They're all in the living room! The woman stepped aside.

Ling Shan didn't ask any more questions, and followed Shao Zhuosheng into a big, luxurious living room. As soon as she entered, Ling Shan saw Ah Pei; Thin, emaciated, pale, and frail, she leaned limply on a sofa with a glass of wine in her hand. Lu Chao was standing in front of her, looking at her with a groan, smile, and thoughtfulness. That Ah Qiu, dressed in a very beautiful black tight-fitting dress, reclined in front of the fireplace, holding a glass of wine in his hand, and drinking slowly. The three of them seemed to be negotiating, chatting, and drinking. The atmosphere inside is not tense, where there is murder? There's bloodshed there? Ling Shan simply felt that it was a foolish thing for her to come, a superfluous thing.

"Aha!" Lu Chao shouted, "Ah Pei, do you still have reinforcements?" ”

Ah Pei raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them, and when he saw Ling Shan, Ah Pei seemed to be slightly stunned. She was so thin that there was no flesh on her cheeks, and her eyes were dark and large, but there was a certain unbelievable frenzy burning in them; It was the eyes of a dying beast, Ling Shan was secretly surprised, and began to nervous and panic again inexplicably. "We're here to take Pei home," Shao Zhuosheng said, "She's sick!" ”

"You're a rare love saint!" Lu Chao said to Shao Zhuosheng, with some mockery in his tone. "Do you know what she's here for?"

"Looking for you." Shao Zhuosheng replied frankly.

"Did you know she brought this?" Lu Chao suddenly took a sharp knife from the table behind him and threw it on the carpet. The sharp knife fell at Pei's feet, lying there, shining in the light. Really! She brought a knife!

Ling Shan took a deep breath and looked at Ah Pei in confusion, since he brought a knife, why didn't he act? Yes, she's so weak that she can't stand still, and where is there the strength to kill? The knife, of course, was snatched away. When Pei saw the knife fall in front of her feet, she immediately spasmed and shrank back to the sofa. Oh my God, she looks like a murderer there? She's like a victim! When I saw the knife, I trembled first. "Very well, you two are friends with Ah Pei." Lu Chao continued, calm, steady, and frank, his eyes were fixed on Ah Pei. "Ah Pei, let your friend be a witness, we will make a break between us today!"

Abbese flinched and looked subconsciously at the knife on the ground.

"When we were together, didn't we say that if two people get together, if they don't get together, they will be separated, and no one will be involved? Isn't it? Lu Chao asked forcefully.

Pei nodded lightly and passively.

"Did you say that if you only live together and don't get married, no one is responsible for anyone? Also not mentally burdened? He asked again.

She nodded again. "When you were with me, did I tell you that I was unreliable? Won't be serious about love, and won't be long-lasting about love? ”

She nodded again. "Have I advised you that if what you need is a stable life, a faithful husband, you'd better not follow me!"

She continued to nod. "So, what is there about me Lu Chao to be sorry for you? You said? ”

Pei shook his head in confusion.

"Since I have no place to be sorry for you," he approached her aggressively. "What did you bring this knife for today? Do you come to Xingshi to ask for sin? Am I guilty? ”

She shook her head again, her eyes were even more confused, her face was even paler, there was no blood on her lips, she was like a lost, helpless, little lamb waiting to be slaughtered. "Since I am not guilty," he asked, half-kneeling before her, picking up the knife on the ground, and staring into her eyes, "did you come here with a knife to coerce me to go back with you?" Who do you think I am? Will the one who will succumb to the tip of the knife? Still is...... Do you hate me? Want to kill me? ”

Ah Pei trembled, she retreated and leaned deeper into the sofa, raised the wine glass, she shivered and drank the wine, and put the wine glass on the small table beside her.

"You don't have the ability to win a man's heart, are you going to kill him?" He pressed closer to her and asked forcefully. Suddenly, he turned the knife upside down and shoved the handle into her hand. "So, you kill! You have a kind, kill me today, otherwise, you will never come to pester me! ”

Ah Pei passively held the knife, her body trembled more and more, her eyes stared at Lu Chao painfully, that eyes were full of grievances, pleading, helplessness, and sadness, her lips moved, she wanted to speak, but there was no sound.

"What are you hesitating about?" Lu Chao asked, his thick eyebrows were heroic, and he had an awe-inspiring and inviolable majesty. "If you have a reason, you will kill me! If you can't kill me, let me go! You know I can't be a slave to a woman, you know! I've never fooled you with rhetoric, have I? ”

Pei nodded. After swallowing hard, she finally said softly, word by word: "You're right!" I have no reason to kill you, no reason to blame you! I thought I was free, I thought I was strong, I thought I was smart, but in fact, I was stupid and ignorant, and I was cowardly and incompetent, and I did everything wrong. She suddenly raised her knife and said sharply, "I won't pester anyone anymore, I'm a hundred!" "Faster than lightning, the knife had been inserted into the wrist of Pei's other hand.

Ling Shan and Ah Qiu screamed at the same time, Ling Shan rushed over when Ah Pei raised the knife, at that time she was only worried that she would assassinate Lu Chao, and then she didn't expect that she would stab her wrist with a knife, the blood splattered out, Lu Chao reached out and grabbed it, but didn't grab the knife, only caught Ah Pei's hand, he shouted in a dumb voice:

"What are you doing?" "Give you back your freedom." She smiled and said, "I don't blame you, I just hate myself and hate being hated!" Her body slipped limply down the carpet.

Shao Zhuosheng pounced and picked her up from the ground, the knife fell to the ground, and the blood on her wrists was stained everywhere. Ah Qiu's face turned pale, she ran over, and shouted in panic:

"Ah Pei, why are you doing this? Why are you doing this? ”

"Stop the bleeding first!" Ling Shan shouted, still rational in an emergency, she held Ah Pei's wrist tightly with her hand, "Give me a belt!" ”

Ah Qiu pulled off the belt on her waist, Ling Shan quickly wrapped Ah Pei's arm, and tightened the strap hard, when everyone was busy, Ah Pei was always sober and always smiling, seeing Ah Qiu, she whispered:

"Ah Qiu, I hope you are more free and easy than me!"

"Ah Pei, Ah Pei!" Shao Zhuosheng shouted, shouting at Lu Chao: "You don't go to call a car yet!" We're going to take her to the hospital! ”

A word reminded Lu Chao, who was stunned, he rushed to stop the car, Shao Zhuosheng hugged A Pei and walked out of the house, A Pei looked at Ling Shan, and whispered like a dream:

"I can't think of anything I'm worried about!" Her eyes fell on Shao Zhuosheng's face gently, and her voice was as soft as a sigh. "Broomstar, I'll marry you in my next life!" Closing her eyes, her head turned sideways into Shao Zhuosheng's arms, and she didn't move.
