Chapter 35 Three Silences
Kui Lan was awakened by a burst of chirping birds, and opened her eyes slightly, and the sky was already cloudy. Kui Lan got up and found that Chen Mengsheng was still sitting on the stone outside the car, Kui Lan smiled a little angrily: "A nerd is a nerd, and I don't know which woman will like him." Kui Lan's face turned red involuntarily, and she got out of the car lightly to tease him Chen Mengsheng, picked up a stone from the ground and walked over sneaky......
"Miss Kuilan, are you awake, are you healed from your foot injury?" Chen Mengsheng said with his back to Kui Lan.
Kui Lan was shocked: "You haven't slept all this time? Just sit stupidly until now? ”
Chen Mengsheng said with a smile: "I'm used to it, I meditate on luck and pranayama every week, and I sleep with you on the same day." ”
Kui Lan complained: "Of course it's not comfortable to lie down, isn't there a chair in the car to sleep on?" You really don't know how to enjoy life, I've never gotten up so early. ”
"I've slept so long that I've forgotten what the sunrise looks like in the mountains. If the eldest brother is here now, he will definitely get some delicious food, but it's a pity that the years have passed and he can't reunite with the eldest brother again. Chen Mengsheng remembered the scene when he spent the night in Huangshan with Shangguan Yanran and Xiang Xiaotian, how happy he was at that time, eating meat and drinking wine, and now he was left alone, and he could no longer hear Xiang Xiaotian's hearty laughter......
Kui Lan walked up to Chen Mengsheng and said, "What do you think?" The whole person who thinks about it is distracted, are you thinking about your junior sister again? ”
"Yes, in the past, my sister and my eldest brother and sister-in-law were happy when they were together, but now I can only recall that what I lost is often the most precious. It's almost dawn, why don't you sleep a little longer? Chen Mengsheng looked at the east and said with white clouds.
Kui Lan took a deep breath of the forest air and said, "It turns out that the air here is so good, I haven't seen the sunrise for a long time." Since my brother's accident, no one has accompanied me to go crazy, and three years have passed in a blink of an eye. Kui Lan leaned on the trunk of the tree with her arms folded and watched the sun slowly rise, watching the golden light shine through the clouds on the hillside......
"Let's go, do you want to get something to eat first? There's a lot to do today. Chen Mengsheng gently patted Kui Lan with ruddy eyes.
Kui Lan wiped her eyes and said, "I can't eat before I brush my teeth and take a shower in the morning, so forget it." Kui Lan locked the car door and walked carefully down the mountain, Chen Mengsheng pushed away the branches blocking the road in front of him, and Kui Lan followed Chen Mengsheng's footprints. After walking for more than half an hour, the two of them could see the smoke of the farmhouse at the foot of the mountain.
The houses in the back mountains are all self-built houses by local farmers, and each house is a single family and is far apart. Chen Mengsheng walked to the farmhouse at the foot of the mountain only to find that there was still a small shop selling some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar or something, and it was very inconvenient for Chen Mengsheng's southern accent to arrive here. Chen Mengsheng didn't understand what people said, and the people who asked Chen Mengsheng didn't understand either. Fortunately, Kui Lan was there, and Kui Lan bought a pack of chewing gum and two rolls of biscuits in the Beijing dialect and chatted with the shopkeeper. The owner is an elderly uncle, he is very enthusiastic about opening business, and I heard that Kuilan came here to visit friends. Looking for a new family from Beijing, the shopkeeper stretched out his hand and pointed to the most remote house.
With the detailed guidance of the shopkeeper, Chen Mengsheng and Kui Lan arrived without much effort, Chen Mengsheng went to knock on the door, but there was no movement inside for a long time. Could it be that the Zhang family hasn't gotten up yet? Chen Mengsheng looked around the house, there was only one door in front and back, as long as the Zhang family didn't move out, it must be in the house. Kui Lan ate a little something, and saw that the sun was rising outside, so she called Chen Mengsheng to the nearby grape shed, and Kui Lan naughtily stuck the chewing gum in her mouth into the crack of the door.
From more than seven o'clock in the morning to ten o'clock, the courtyard door of the Zhang family was never opened. Kui Lan was faintly disgusted by the sun, and the person staggered from heat stroke. Chen Mengsheng helped Kui Lan back to the small shop where he asked for directions just now, and the shopkeeper saw that Kui Lan was walking unsteadily, and hurriedly moved a rattan chair for her to sit down. The shopkeeper poured a cup of herbal tea for Kui Lan, and Kui Lan took a sip of wow and vomited. Kui Lan vomited and felt a little better and apologized to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper asked, "I said, girl, what's wrong with you?" It's not that I'm talking about you little couple, why are you still running into this ravine when you're pregnant! Chen Mengsheng couldn't understand what the shopkeeper said, so he couldn't defend himself, and nodded vigorously in a stupid way.
"Poof, he said you bullied me, and you still nodded!" Kui Lan couldn't help but laugh and said, people are a little energetic.
Chen Mengsheng scratched his head and said, "I don't understand what he said, why don't you help me ask if there is no one in that family?" ”
Kui Lan gasped and said, "Uncle, have the new people who moved here moved away again?" ”
The shopkeeper smacked his lips and thought for a while, "Oh, I haven't seen much of the new people, they seem to be a little girl and an old man." The house had been empty for years, and a few days ago a lot of people brought in furniture. The old man was beckoning them to move their things, and the little girl seemed to be sick and looked sick. They rarely open the door, girl, why are you looking for them? ”
Kui Lan told Chen Mengsheng what the shopkeeper meant, and when the shopkeeper saw that the two of them were discussing something, he said to Kui Lan: "Girl, you sit here for a while, I'm going to pick vegetables and prepare to cook." Tell your family to eat here at noon, you have to pay more attention to your body! The shopkeeper put on a straw hat and walked away.
Chen Mengsheng couldn't understand the shopkeeper's words, but he understood the shopkeeper's actions, turned to Kui Lan and said, "Kui Lan girl, you just rest here and I'll go and have a look." ”
Chen Mengsheng walked outside the small building of the Zhang family, but the door was still closed, and he knocked on the door but there was still no response. Chen Mengsheng looked around and wanted to see the situation in the house through the window downstairs, and suddenly saw that the chewing gum that Kui Lan had just glued to the crack of the door was gone......
Chen Mengsheng thought that someone in the house deliberately did not open the door, so he simply waited in front of the door. The people in the house will always come out, and now it is better to be patient. It was almost noon and eleven o'clock, when Chen Mengsheng heard the door lock ringing softly, and someone opened the door and probed out......
"Qi Bo, the junior Chen Mengsheng has something to disturb." Chen Mengsheng made a bow to the people first.
The person who knocked on the door was Qi Bo, the housekeeper of the Zhang family, and Qi Bo gasped and said, "Why haven't you left yet!" ”
"Hehe, Qi Bo hasn't seen him for a few days, why did he suddenly say goodbye!" Chen Mengsheng said with a smile.
Qi Bo said angrily: "It's not because of you! Hmph, why did you still find this place with a ghost! Get out of here, I don't want to see you again! ”
Chen Mengsheng was neither humble nor arrogant: "Qi Bo's words are wrong, I have no intention of embarrassing Qi Bo." ”
"My young lady is not in good health, I don't want to be disturbed, you can leave quickly." Ziber closed the door unceremoniously.
Chen Mengsheng said outside the door: "Qi Bo, I came today for two things. One is to return Qi Bo's things, and the other is to ask Qi Bo to raise his noble hand. ”
Qi Bo said in the house: "I don't know what you said, why don't you leave!" ”
Chen Mengsheng took out the bronze medal and said, "Don't Qi Bo want this bronze medal of the Wu clan?" It seems that I have found the wrong person, and Qi Bohaihan's junior has retired. ”
"Wait! Why did you send back the bronze medal when you already knew my identity? Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you again! Qi Bo opened the door and looked at Chen Mengsheng with a sinking face.
Chen Mengsheng said calmly: "I offended my predecessors that day, and I came here today to accompany the sin." ”
"Good boy, what else do you have to say?" Qi Bo opened the door and eased his breath a lot, and took the bronze medal in Chen Mengsheng's hand.
"It's just that someone killed Qi Bo's son with a car three years ago, and the kid had the courage to ask Qi Bo to raise his noble hand to relieve the blood curse......" Chen Mengsheng didn't finish his words, but he saw Qi Bo force the door shut again.
Qi Bo shouted: "Murder pays for life, blood debt and blood are repaid!" It's not negotiable, you don't have to say it anymore! No matter what Chen Mengsheng explained outside the door, Qi Bo never opened the door......
Kui Lan looked at Chen Mengsheng from a distance and walked over with a sad face, and Kui Lan already understood seven or eight points in his heart. He smiled reluctantly: "I saw that old man driving you out of the door and already guessed the result, I'll go talk to Uncle Qi." I don't want to run away anymore, no matter what Uncle Qi does to me, I have to break the knot that has plagued me for three years. Quilan trembled and got up and walked out.
"Papapa, pa...... Uncle Qi, please listen to me, I was the one ......who drove and killed your son three years ago," Kui Lan said loudly as she banged on the door.
"Get out!" Zieber's roar rang out from behind the door.
"Uncle Qi, I don't expect you to forgive me, but I haven't slept every night for three years. I've been afraid to think about it, and I've tried to escape with all kinds of excuses, but I was wrong......," Quiran confessed weakly as she leaned against the door.
"Hmph, my son was killed by you rich people, and he didn't even have a place to reason, and he said that my son died in vain! I'm going to show you with your own eyes how painful it is for a person to die! Ziber was so emotional that he left no room for speech.
Kui Lan smiled dismally: "I have seen my brother look like life is worse than death, but Uncle Qi, you are mistaken. I am the one who should be cursed, I beg my uncle to spare my eldest brother, I am willing to be cursed to pay for your son's life......" Kui Lan said and slowly knelt down outside the door, but there was no word inside the door.
Chen Mengsheng didn't know what to do, and now it was Kui Lan begging Qi Bo to atone for his sins. If she goes to Laquelan, she may never be able to untie her heart knot, and the pain of Ziber's loss of a child in old age is also a great tragedy in life. There is no way to solve both sides by yourself, you can only look at the will of God!
The sun at noon was the most vicious, and Kuilan's sweat dripped on his clothes with his long hair and on the hot stones. The sound of stir-frying came from the house, and the tempting aroma was also a kind of torture for Kui Lan, who had not eaten twice. Kui Lan knelt motionless, only to see her whole body staggering and began to shake......
