Chapter 428: Living Alone (2)
When Wei Qingxuan told An Xiaoyu about the results of this investigation, the garrison had already begun to screen the list of the deceased that year. They first guessed that the murderer had something to do with the events of the year, and came to avenge the death of the year.
Since it is revenge, it must be related to the deceased back then.
So they called up the list of people who died because of the bridge collapse that year, and began to compare them with these people on the island in detail.
All the tourists, the staff, not a single one was spared.
However, in the end, they came to the conclusion that they had no one else on the island who had anything to do with the events of that year. The travelers were not related, none of the staff had relatives who had ever died, and even the files of the rangers were investigated.
But the ranger himself had come to work in this place more than twenty years ago, and his wife and children had died before he came to work, so he didn't get anyone's attention at all.
Wei Qingxuan hurriedly ate something at noon, and returned to work, seeing Wang Yixuan a little dumbfounded, she asked An Xiaoyu: "Isn't he the heir of the first Wei family?" Do you like to do this kind of thing? ”
"In the past, he didn't seem to be like that." An Xiaoyu thought about the high-spirited family in the past, and the EQ was low, so she didn't care about the existence of such details at all.
"And what kind of wind is he smoking now?" Wang Yixuan looked at Wei Qingxuan's leaving, and could even feel the pleasant emotions that Wei Qingxuan carried.
An Xiaoyu thought for a while and said softly: "Probably, people will always change. ”
After speaking, An Xiaoyu turned around and walked away, leaving Wang Yixuan alone thinking about An Xiaoyu's words just now, not knowing what it meant.
Of course, Wang Yixuan didn't know what An Xiaoyu meant, because she didn't know what happened to Wei Qingxuan.
When a person experiences the great fear before life and death, the change in mentality is inevitable, as if An Xiaoyu finally saw through his feelings for the administrator and actively sought and accepted it after fighting with Hua Face.
After Wei Qingxuan experienced this incident, his feelings for Lu Yuqi were obviously clearer.
Because the most intuitive feeling is that when you have experienced life and death, and felt the feeling that life is gradually passing away from the body, and a lonely person is beginning to get farther and farther away from this world, you will understand that the so-called entanglement and apprehension are nothing more than that there is enough time.
When you realize that your time is not endless, and the changes in the world will not follow you as you please, those that should be fought for are originally yours, you will take the initiative to put them all in the palm of your hand and take good care of them.
Of course, there are also some drawbacks, after all, when it is too much, too cared for, or too eager for quick success, there will be a situation like An Xiaoyu and the administrator, and the pace of the two people is not completely compatible, and it is easy to have problems.
Wei Qingxuan naturally has no big problems, after all, special situations like An Xiaoyu and the administrator are still rare, and the matter between Wei Qingxuan and Lu Yuqi should be quite normal.
However, Wei Qingxuan is different from An Xiaoyu, An Xiaoyu was often inexplicably involved in those hexagram matters because of her bad luck before, and because she had just walked out of the Eastern Wilderness, she was also willing to get involved.
So after experiencing life and death, An Xiaoyu became lazy, not idle to care about anything, even if the murder happened by his side, he didn't intervene, and the whole person became idle, this is a contrast.
It is also the source of An Xiaoyu's lament that people will always change.
But Wei Qingxuan is different, he is the heir of the Wei family, to be honest, there is usually nothing worthy of his personal attention, and her high status is destined to make her not have many actions to do everything, even if it is the work of the escort team, she has been being the team leader.
Therefore, after experiencing the catastrophe of life and death, Wei Qingxuan showed unprecedented vitality. From the time he took the initiative to ask to be the leader of An Xiaoyu's family, to the investigation of this murder, An Xiaoyu saw Wei Qingxuan, who was like a father.
To be honest, it still feels a bit fresh.
Thinking like this, An Xiaoyu laughed, looking at the busy guards below and on the coast, and Wei Qingxuan running around behind the captain of the guard, An Xiaoyu suddenly felt that there was actually an adaptation stage in this state.
Contrast, after all, this kind of thing can't exist forever, An Xiaoyu felt that her adaptation period was coming, and she didn't know when she would suddenly think about it.
But she doesn't care about these changes anymore, and everything is just as she likes.
When the garrison was busy, Wei Qingxuan was busy, the sky gradually darkened, An Xiaoyu and his family and Feng Shuo's family got together in the hall and played cards for a while, and after eating together in the evening, they all went back to the room.
After all, for them, the murderer is still at large outside, and they don't know where to hide among them, and after all, it is safer to be in the room.
After eating and sending the family to the room, An Xiaoyu did not go to Wei Qingxuan, Wang Yixuan seemed to be interested in Wei Qingxuan's side. To be honest, it was because An Xiaoyu was always too lazy to speak, and she didn't reveal any news to her at all, which made her a little desperate.
Looking at the night outside the window, An Xiaoyu walked out of the door of the resort building, without disturbing anyone, pacing alone, and gradually came to the foot of the hill on the island, and saw the small wooden house of the forest keeper from a distance, but there was no light inside.
An Xiaoyu tilted her head to look at it, smiled, and stepped on the stone steps up the mountain.
The long stone steps at the foot of An Xiaoyu are like a flat path, step by step, the clouds are light and the wind is light, and An Xiaoyu soon reached the top of the mountain.
On the observation deck at the top of the mountain, I finally saw a little warm light, it was a pile of burning pieces of paper, and next to this small fire, little by little filling in the paper, was a rickety figure sitting on the ground.
An Xiaoyu walked up to his side and sat down on the ground.
The floor of the observation deck is very clean, these are the work of the forest keeper, every evening and morning, he will clean the entire observation deck, to ensure that the ground is free of any dust and broken leaves, has been insisting for more than 20 years, never stopping.
Just like he has been coming to the observation deck at this time of year to burn paper, never stopping.
The radio beside the forest keeper was still playing a sad tune, and I don't know what the mourning music was, low and mournful.
Seeing An Xiaoyu's arrival, the forest keeper was not a little surprised, just glanced at it, and never raised his head again.
An Xiaoyu looked at the appearance of the forest guard, and did not speak, but just sat quietly, feeling that the night was getting deeper and deeper, and the entire island was lit up with a bright galaxy, wide and vast, echoing with the sea below, giving people a shocking feeling.
"Actually, I knew that my plan was not flawless, but I didn't expect you to see through it from the beginning." The forester threw the last piece of paper money in his hand into the fire, and looked at the raging flames in front of him, the light of which illuminated his haggard face.
An Xiaoyu smiled: "I'm different from them. ”
The forest keeper also smiled: "I know that you are different from them, from the time you came to the island, I knew that you were different from them, so I knew that you would definitely come to me at this time, and I could also tell a reliable person everything about me." ”
He took a worn-out copper wine jug from his waist, opened the lid and poured it into his mouth, reached out and pressed the radio button next to him, and the sound of mournful music stopped abruptly, leaving only the sound of the wine shaking in the jug on the entire observation deck.
"When I see you now, I almost forget that I used to be a young man, I used to be younger than you, I used to be younger than many people. The body is also young, the mind is also young, and my wife is also young. ”
"You haven't seen my wife, in fact, I haven't seen her for many years, and I didn't see her until she died, and I didn't see her photo, probably like you see me now, I can't imagine that the young man has become unrecognizable."
"When I saw her picture, I even thought, if I really had the courage to go back home all these years, take a look at her, look at my son, would they not know me anymore? Because I'm just too old, too old. ”
"Do you know that the sea breeze is a very devastating thing, whether it is the sea breeze in the far north, or the sea breeze on the south coast, or the sea breeze in the long mountains of the East China Sea, people who have not blown the sea breeze for many years will naturally not understand, it is a kind of thing that takes away your time."
"The day after day blows on your face, it leaves wrinkles, and even if it's only ten years, only five years, you will become completely different from when you first came to this island, and even people who knew you before will hardly dare to recognize you."
"Of course, that's why I chose this place."
"I was a young man who had just graduated from college, with small ideals, and a wife who liked me very much, and I had been by my side since college, supporting each other, and we both believed that one day our days would become rich and happy."
"So I worked so hard and so hard that I didn't even have time to go home and see my parents. Every time I called, they told me that my career was the most important thing and let me know that the Gu family was the most important thing, and I did the same as they said, because although my parents were not great people, they were always right. ”
"But these two people may have said too much of the truth in this world and raised the best sons in the world, and God did not bypass them."
When the forester said this, with a hint of tears in his eyes, he raised his head and took another sip of wine, and continued: "Cancer, terminal. ”
"You also know that cancer has only begun to be treated in recent years, and more than 20 years ago, once the terminal cancer was discovered, it was almost a certain death, so my parents died like this."
"In order to prolong their lives and find a way to treat them, I spent all my family's savings, and I didn't have a penny left, but in vain. I watched my parents die in front of me. ”
"After my parents died, I went back to the company and tried to put this grief behind me, to make money, to make money, because my wife I was ten months pregnant, and my son was going to be born at this time."
"However, it was as if God wanted to tease me, and at this critical time, I suddenly encountered an accident on the way to work, was seriously injured and was sent to the hospital, I was in a coma for two or three days, and when I woke up, I was notified that my wife had given birth to a son."
"I really can't describe how I felt at that time. It's not just because I wasn't there when my son was born, it's not just because of the grief of my own injuries and the joy of the arrival of the new people, but also the feeling of helplessness about life, you know? You should get the idea, right? ”
The forest keeper looked into An Xiaoyu's eyes, as if he saw An Xiaoyu's past.
"This time I spent the last bit of money in our hands, my son was about to go hungry at birth, and he may even suffer from cold, this is the reality that I don't want to face, and I put it all down to myself."
"It was at this time that a new patient came in to the bed next to me. It was also a traumatic injury, but his injuries seemed to be worse than mine, and his body was covered in white bandages, and the white bandages were oozing bright red blood. ”
"When he woke up, I realized that he was actually the eldest brother of the underground forces in our county, controlling the existence of a large underground area. I stayed in the hospital with him for a few days, and I quietly washed my face with tears every day, and finally he noticed it. ”
"After listening to my story, Big Brother Black showed me a clear way. He told me that he had suffered such a serious injury because of a fight, and that after he was discharged from the hospital, he even had to go to the security unit for investigation and to the court for trial. ”
"Of course, as one of the bosses of the underground forces, of course he has made all the preparations, he has found a scapegoat, and intends to use money to bribe this person, let him take the blame for himself, and put the main blame on the scapegoat."
"And the clear way he pointed out to me is that I will be the scapegoat, and then I will go to the prison to bear the responsibility for him, and he will give all the money he originally prepared to my wife and children, and even take care of my wife and children's future life."
"Do you know how fatal it was for me to have such a hope at that time?" The forest keeper said with a wry smile: "I finally chose to agree, the two of us were discharged from the hospital at the same time, and Big Brother Hei made all the preparations for me." ”
"When I was in the garrison, I confessed to all the charges, and in the end, under the trial, I took everything on myself, and won a lot of money for my wife and children, as well as good living conditions, at the cost of eight years in prison."
"When I was in prison, my wife often came to see me, and her feelings for me have never changed, even if I went to prison, even if I became a prisoner, she still believed that I was still the same person I was at the beginning, and this is what keeps me in prison."
"Later, because I behaved well, Big Brother Black also used some connections, and I was released five years later, when I was overjoyed and wanted to go back home to gradually grow my wife and hug my five-year-old child, but someone stopped me."
"I was brought to Big Black Brother, he still has the same cheerful personality as when he was hospitalized, and he is very righteous. He told me frankly that he wanted to save my life by bailing me out this time, and also to save the lives of my wife and children. ”
"It turns out that during the five years that I have been in prison, Big Brother Hei has fought with another underground force in the county town to seize the territory and interests of the county, but after all, it is still a bad move, and he is about to face the end of destruction."
He said that his end was already doomed, and he would either be imprisoned by the garrison or die at the hands of his opponents. But for me, a person who was originally involved because of money, I shouldn't face such an ending, and I shouldn't bear the revenge of the other party. ”
"So, Big Brother Hei took advantage of the last bit of strength he had in the county to fake the death of my wife and children, and let them go incognito and change their faces to live in another city, while I was sent by him to this island, avoiding all the fighting."
"To be honest, I am grateful to him, we announced to the public that I had died in the gang fight, and even my wife and children did not know the truth of the matter, and I could only be a dispensable person on this small island day after day."
"I couldn't even bring out a picture of my wife." The forester's face was sad, and tears flowed down his wrinkled cheeks.
"Actually, I don't hold a grudge, after going through so many things, I understand that complaining is not the solution to the problem, so I have been looking forward to when I will have the courage and when I will be able to face my heart and meet them."
"And when I finally got the courage to go out for a walk, that accident happened."
"Eight hundred and thirty-six people, eight hundred and thirty-six people died, including my wife and son, who was only a teenager at that time! In this way, those corrupt guys, those guys who filled their own pockets, were killed in that place. ”
"And so, my plan for revenge began."
