Chapter 156: Fang Fan's Determination
The cuckoo's call dragged the sun out of the horizon completely, and she pulled the clouds for cover like a shy girl to be married, but the clouds were moved to tears by her hidden enthusiasm, and the clouds gradually gathered more and more here. Zhonghai City was covered with a faint layer of morning mist, and the humid and sultry air hovered back and forth under the clouds, and it was as active as the fiery heart in Fang Fan's chest at this time.
There was a sound of phlegm coughing in the Xuzi Dao house, Fang Fan was shocked when he heard the sound, and said softly.
"Daddy, I have something to ask for."
After a while, Xuzi Dao opened the door, looked at Fang Fan, who had been kneeling at his door, and said.
"Get up. I know it all. ”
"Daddy, I want to be stronger."
Xuzi Dao sighed and said.
"If that's the case, then there's nothing I can do to help."
Hearing this, Fang Fan looked at Xuzi Dao with wide eyes, and said with a little pleading in his trembling voice.
"I want to avenge Zhang Ze, please fulfill me."
"If I fulfill you, your father will hate me to the core."
Fang Fan stood up excitedly and said.
"I can tell my father that I did it completely voluntarily. I can even write you a disclaimer. ”
Xuzidao waved his hand and said.
"That's all false. When the time comes, your life will be gone, Fang Haotian will come to me to pay for your life, what should I do. ”
Let's talk about it. Xuzidao walked down the steps slowly, and there was a tea table under the grape trellis in the courtyard, which was carved with the pattern of the Nine Heavens of the Phoenix Dance, Xuzidao motioned for Fang Fan to come and sit down, and then shouted.
"Copper, copper."
Tong'er suddenly appeared in front of the two like a gust of wind and said.
"Master, please command."
"Ignition."
"Yes."
Only then did Fang Fan notice that there was a small stove next to the tea table, and a copper kettle was placed on it. Tong'er lit the fire and sat the kettle on the fire and said.
"Master, it's all done."
"Go make some breakfast."
Tong'er nodded and said.
"Understood."
Fang Fan couldn't help but say.
"I'm not here to drink tea and eat with you..."
As soon as the words fell, Xuzi Dao's eyes suddenly became a little indifferent, he looked at Fang Fan, who was restless at this time, and said.
"Sit down."
Fang Fan was still standing still, and then Xuzi Dao raised his voice and said in a commanding tone.
"I'll sit you down."
Fang Fan heard a shock from his words that he had never felt before, and that feeling hit his heart. He snorted and sat opposite Xuzi Dao, Xuzi Dao returned to his peaceful appearance, and then put a cup of tea in front of Fang Fan and said.
"Impatience can't help the living, impulsiveness can't wake up the dead, you have to learn to accept reality. This is Zhang Ze's fate, and the destiny of heaven is so irreversible. ”
"I didn't want to rebel against Destiny, I just wanted to beg you to tell me how to become stronger."
Xuzi Dao pointed at Fang Fan's heart and said.
"Don't you already have a plan?"
Fang Fan was taken aback and said.
"Do you know all about it?"
"This will take you back to your old life, would you?"
"As long as I can avenge Zhang Ze, let me do whatever I want."
Xuzidao smiled faintly and said.
"You're not for him, you're for yourself."
"What do you mean?"
Xuzidao reached out and dipped some tea in the teacup, smeared it on the corner of his eyes, and then said lightly.
"You blame Zhang Ze's death on your own incompetence, so you plan to use this method to help yourself quickly get rid of the guilt of Zhang Ze, and in the end you will only save yourself."
Hearing this, Fang Fan looked at Xuzidao's smiling face, then lowered his head and said silently, and after a while, he said.
"I'm going to do it even if it's for myself."
At this time, Tong'er put breakfast on the tea table, and Xuzidao said to Tong'er.
"Tong'er, send off."
Fang Fan replied to Xuzidao with an unwavering look, and then left without looking back. Tong'er asked.
"Master, are we just going to watch Fang Fan go on like this?"
"I can't hide from it."
"It's no different from committing suicide."
"No, Fang Fan may be the final destination of the nightmare."
Then Xuzidao wrote something on the note and handed it to Tong'er, saying.
"After that, you send it to Fang Fan."
"Yes."
Compared with Fang Fan's messy life, Jinqiu's life is as calm as water. Accompany Su Nan to go shopping during the day, and spend their two-person world with gratitude at night. The relationship between Xie Xin and Su Nan is relatively stable, but Xie Xin still has a lot of precautions against Su Nan in her heart, and she always feels that she will quietly take Jinqiu away from her side at some point.
Jinqiu took Xie Xin's hand and walked by the river, the river water smelled of the river from time to time, if it was in normal times, Xie Xin would definitely go another way, but today she didn't seem to care about this pungent smell.
"Jinqiu, where did you and Su Nan go today?"
"I didn't go anywhere. I accompanied her to go shopping and buy a few clothes. ”
"Oh..."
Jinqiu turned his head and saw Xie Xin bowing his head and saying nothing, as if he was hiding something, at this time Jinqiu stopped, and the absent-minded Xie Xin directly hit Jinqiu.
"Oops..."
Xie Xin looked up at Jinqiu, who was standing in front of her at this time, and asked.
"How... What's wrong? ”
"Jealous?"
"No... No, how could it be. I'm sure you're just childhood friends. ”
Jinqiu patted Xie Xin's head lightly and said.
"Won't you tell the truth?"
Suddenly, Xie Xin felt a grievance in his heart, and then his eyes turned red. Jinqiu was also a little panicked when she saw her like this, so she hurriedly hugged Xie Xin in her arms. Xie Xin sobbed in Jinqiu's arms and said.
"Jinqiu, I'm so scared. But I know I shouldn't doubt you, but every time I think of your relationship I feel uneasy, I can't compare to her in terms of appearance, work, and knowledge, and now even our relationship I feel a little shorter than her, you are childhood sweethearts, and we are just two strangers who met in Pingshui. ”
Jinqiu hugged her tighter and tighter, and then said in her ear.
"Don't say it..."
Xie Xin was still gushing, and Jinqiu suddenly raised his voice and shouted.
"Say no more..."
Jinqiu's roar completely shattered the darkness that had been binding Xie Xin, and her crying stopped abruptly, and Jinqiu said in a low voice.
"Gratitude is gratitude, I don't want to compare you with anyone, not yourself."
After that, Jinqiu grabbed Xie Xin's shoulders, then looked at Xie Xin with unwavering eyes, and continued.
"Su Nan and I did grow up together, but that only belonged to the past, and now we are just friends. In the days to come, you and I can also create memories that belong only to the two of us, you are you, you don't have to compare yourself to anyone, you know? ”
The tears that Xie Xin had just controlled burst out of her eyes again, but this time it seemed to be tears of joy, she nodded vigorously, then took a deep breath and said.
"It stinks in here, let's go home."
Jinqiu smiled and took Xie Xin's hand and said.
"Do you want it before you go home?"
Jinqiu looked at Xie Xin with a wicked smile as he spoke, Xie Xin suddenly reacted, and then pinched Jinqiu's back waist hard, and said.
"I've eaten enough today, don't seduce me with my favorite baked tofu, go home."
"Okay, let go, it hurts me."
At this time, Jinqiu's phone rang, and it was Fang Fan calling.
"Jinqiu, where are you?"
"I'm out for a walk with Xie Xin."
"I'm looking for you urgently."
"Then I'll go to the Spring Bar now."
Fang Fan pondered for a moment on the other end of the phone and said.
"No, we'll meet at your house."
Jinqiu covered the earpiece with his hand and said to Xie Xin.
"Let's go back to my house first."
Xie Xin nodded obediently, Jinqiu turned into the phone and continued.
"Okay, we'll meet at my house in twenty minutes."
When Jinqiu and Xie Xin returned home, Su Nan was lying on the sofa watching TV, and Qing'er was already asleep. When he saw them coming back, Su Nan instinctively reacted and got up from the sofa and said.
"Have you eaten? I'm going to warm you up. ”
Xie Xin's heart suddenly warmed up when he heard this, and the previous sense of alienation seemed to have shortened a lot, so he said.
"Sister Su Nan, don't be busy, we've eaten."
Su Nan nodded, sat back on the sofa, and said Jinqiu.
"Su Nan, go sleep with Qing'er."
Hearing this, Su Nan's face trembled slightly, and then asked.
"What about you?"
Jinqiu paused and said.
"Where do you want to go, Fang Fan will come in a while, and we will discuss something. Forget it, you and Xie Xin go to my room to sleep together. ”
Xie Xin said.
"No need, I'll just go home."
"It's okay, you sleep with Su Nan, are you still afraid of what she will do to you?"
Su Nan picked up the pillow and hit Jinqiu, then took Xie Xin's hand and said.
"Let's go, let's go to bed."
Jinqiu was just about to fight back when the doorbell rang. Fang Fan stood at the door with a sad face, and Jinqiu said.
"In such a hurry, what's going on?"
Hearing this, the look on Fang Fan's face became a little more solemn, and Jin Qiu said.
"Come in and talk about it."
Jinqiu took out two cans of beer from the refrigerator and put them on the coffee table, Fang Fan picked up one can and drank it all, pondered for a moment, and said.
"Can you take me back to Chifeng Mountain? I'm going to put the nightmare back inside me. ”
Hearing this, Jinqiu almost squirted out the wine in his mouth, he looked at Fang Fan and said.
"Are you alright? It took so much effort to get the nightmare out, and now you're going to jump into the fire pit again? ”
As soon as he thought of this, Fang Fan's emotions were once again sealed to the bottom, and Jin Qiu noticed some clues and asked.
"Could it be that the previous mission did not go well?"
Fang Fan took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it, and then took a hard puff. Jinqiu could see that he was nervous at this time, and his left hand had been clutching his right hand holding the cigarette so tightly that the ash would not fall on the carpet in the living room because of the trembling of his right hand.
"What do you have to say no? Don't be so twisty. ”
It was the first time Jinqiu had seen Fang Fan like this, and in his impression Fang Fan had always been a decisive and straightforward man. At this time, Jinqiu noticed that Fang Fan's eyes were red, and then he took a deep breath of cigarette and said.
"Zhang Ze is dead."
Hearing this, Jinqiu asked a little unconvinced.
"What did you say?"
"Zhang Ze is dead."
"When?"
As if he was tearing his own wounds, Fang Fan told them about the Qingfeng slaughterhouse and Jinqiu 1510. Jinqiu's brows were already furrowed tightly together, and he asked after a moment.
"So you're going to use the power of the Nightmare again?"
"Well, even if it will be devoured, I will avenge Zhang Ze."
Jinqiu looked at Fang Fan's determined appearance and said.
"Okay, we'll leave early tomorrow morning."
In the early morning of the next day, Su Nan planned to go back to the bureau to continue working, so she left after a few brief words with Jinqiu. Jinqiu said to Xie Xin.
"I may have to go out for a few days, Qing'er will ask you these days."
"Don't worry."
Qing'er pulled Fang Fan's clothes and asked.
"Brother, where are you going?"
"I'll go back to Chifeng Mountain to deal with some things, Qing'er has to listen to Sister Xie Xin's words obediently."
Qing'er nodded and said.
"It's my sister-in-law."
Xie Xin's face was red all the way to the base of his ears. The two of them had a simple sweet moment, and Fang Fan urged.
"Let's go. When I come back, there is time for Lang to be a concubine. ”
As soon as the two of them went out, Tong'er was standing outside looking at them, and Fang Fan suddenly became fully alert and said.
"If Daddy asks you to stop me, then I'm going to be offended."
Tong'er casually threw the note given to him by Xuzi Dao to Fang Fan and said.
"Master asked me to hand it over to you. He said it's up to you to do what you want, but you have to do what the note says. ”
Fang Fan hesitated for a moment, and by the time he reacted, Tong'er had already disappeared. Fang Fan's heart was moved, at this time he felt like a rebellious child, no matter how much his parents opposed his idea, they would still support him without hesitation at the critical moment. Fang Fan opened the note, and only two words were written on it: 'Luo Blade'.
When it was almost noon, Fang Fan and Jinqiu finally arrived at Chifeng Mountain, Jinqiu pointed to the highest peak and said.
"My house is right there."
"That's Gao Yuntang?"
"Well, but now it's only my mother who lives there, and you just don't show the police's occupational disease after a while."
"Don't worry. I know the purpose of this time. ”
After that, the two set off towards the top of the mountain, although they lost the strength of the nightmare, but there was still no pressure on Fang Fan at this point. Standing outside the door of Gao Yuntang, Jinqiu stepped forward and knocked on the door, and Duan Sanniang's voice came from inside.
"Come in."
The two walked into the courtyard and saw Duan Sanniang taking care of the flowers and plants in the courtyard, and Jinqiu stepped forward and shouted.
"Mom, I'm back. It's..."
Before Jinqiu could finish speaking, Duan Sanniang interrupted.
"Sit down. I know what you're here for. ”
With that, Duan Sanniang put the kettle aside, then turned to look at Fang Fan and asked.
"Are you really going to do that?"
Fang Fan nodded unswervingly and said.
"I hope you can do it."
Duan Sanniang suddenly laughed and said.
"It's not up to me, it's up to you. It comes out of your body, and it's up to you to get it back into your body again. I advise you not to forget how you were in the mood to get it out of your body in the first place. ”
"I know what you mean, even if I die at its hands this time, I will admit it."
Duan Sanniang put down the kettle and came to Fang Fan's side, reached out and grabbed his wrist, then pressed her hand on his chest, and said after a while.
"How can a mortal body control the evil spirits of the ancients. If your heart is not strong, even if you give it to you, sooner or later it will become his container. ”
Fang Fan said with some excitement.
"Even if I become his container, that's my life."
"Life? It's a good word. If you believed in it, you shouldn't be here today. ”
After that, Duan Sanniang slapped Fang Fan's chest, and then Fang Fan spat blood from his mouth and took a few steps back. Jinqiu was frightened by his mother's actions, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
"Mom, if you don't agree, just say you don't agree, why do you do it?"
Duan Sanniang's eyes were filled with a cold air, and then she raised her hand and slapped Jinqiu, shouting very angrily.
"Do you know who he's dealing with?"
Jinqiu rubbed his face and said.
"Cobbler."
"You still know. He's your father, and you're helping outsiders kill him? What about your conscience? ”
Duan Sanniang's words ignited the gunpowder that had been buried in Jinqiu's heart for many years, and his emotions suddenly soared and said
"My conscience? My conscience has nothing to do with him, he only knows to kill people outside every day, or just to have fun, has he ever paid a little for me? If it weren't for your identity as the person in charge of Gao Yuntang, I'm afraid we would have starved to death on the streets. ”
Duan Sanniang raised her hand and slapped Jinqiu in the face again, and said.
"It's not big, it's not too small."
"I'll help Fang Fan."
After saying that, Jin Qiu picked up Fang Fan, who had fallen aside, and walked out. At this time, a gust of wind suddenly rose on the flat ground, and then the door of the compound was blown shut by the wind. Jinqiu and Fang Fan looked at Duan Sanniang at the same time, and she said with a gloomy face at this time.
"No one in the entire Sanyun Gang has dared to talk to me like this, not even my son."
Suddenly, Duan Sanniang raised her hand and hit Jinqiu, and Fang Fan hurriedly pushed Jinqiu away. Duan Sanniang's palm hit Fang Fan's back impartially, Fang Fan spat blood again, Jinqiu supported Fang Fan and said.
"Fang Fan, how are you?"
"Don't do that, we have another way."
Duan Sanniang looked at the two of them, sneered, and said.
"There's still a bit of backbone."
Then she took out a pill from her arms and threw it to Jinqiu, saying.
"Feed him, and he'll be fine in a while."
Jinqiu took the pill and looked at Duan Sanniang with an uneasy expression, Duan Sanniang glared at him and said.
"If I want to kill him, I don't need to waste such a precious pill at all."
Fang Fan snatched the pill and swallowed it directly. After a while, Fang Fan's situation really improved, and Jinqiu's hanging heart was completely let go. Duan Sanniang grabbed Fang Fan's wrist again, then pressed her hand on his chest and said.
"This time, his qi and blood are normal."
Jinqiu suddenly realized and said.
"Mom, are you helping him open up his qi and blood just now?"
"What do you think? If he went to find the Nightmare with the same body he had just formed, I am afraid that as soon as the Nightmare entered his body, he would have to die. ”
Fang Fan said weakly.
"I'm sorry for you."
"Alright. Jinqiu, you take him to the next room to rest for the night, and set off tomorrow night. ”
Jinqiu helped Fang Fan into the wing room to rest, Duan Sanniang also went back to the room to rest, and at this time, a black shadow suddenly flashed from the roof and went straight to the pavilion on the top of the mountain.
