Chapter 16: The Line of Fate
Yan Shunhua heard Xing Kong's words, and said that it was fake if she was not moved, she stretched out her hand and hugged Xing Kong tightly: "Thank you." ”
Xing Kong was stunned by Yan Shunhua's sudden movements, but she also gently wrapped her hands around her, patted her, and comforted her like a child: "It's okay." ”
Yan Shunhua was amused by her, and said coquettishly: "The good atmosphere has been lost by you, how can I be moved by you." ”
Yan Shunhua covered her face with her hands, raised her head to the sky, and silently held back her tears. After calming down, Chao Xingkong said confidently.
"Okay, don't look at who I am - the gold medal lawyer of our firm, the case is a bit troublesome, but it is still very promising, look at me next, let's go!"
The company has nothing to do recently, Xing Kong took annual leave in advance, and followed Chu Yeshan to travel around the world, in Shangri-La, Yunnan, on a sunny morning, Xing Kong leaned on Chu Yeshan's shoulder and watched the sunrise, with a happy smile on his face.
……
Xiong Shu counted the days in the small dark room, and he stayed in this cage for another month.
Only the night and cockroaches accompany him, occasionally mice will come to visit, he leaned against the wall, bent his legs, looked at Xiaoqiang running around, sat blankly and thought: "Tomorrow is the day of the trial, grandpa should come." ”
A pale green fluorescence suddenly appeared in this dimly lit little room, which was particularly dazzling and caught his attention. The light is faint, but the damp and dark dungeon is precious.
Xiong Shu's eyes moved slightly, he got up and searched, locked on to the target after 10 seconds, he moved slowly, gently, the two palms arched, poof, the palms closed, and the light disappeared.
He saw glowing fireflies through his fingers. On this special day, bring him a different night and leave a special color.
He suddenly opened his palm, and returned it to freedom, and the small firefly flew away in a flash, Xiong Shu looked at the place where it flew, it was a small hole, this was the first time he found it, he was lying on the small hole in the wall, half-squinting at the flying firefly.
The fireflies were gone, but he saw a swarm of fireflies that lit up the starry sky, like a dream. It's the outside world, this tiny hole that connects to another world.
Xiong Shu thought to himself: "It should be a foolish worm, probably lost, but it still found the right way after going around - going home." And what about yourself? ”
He didn't know, because he fell asleep thinking about it, and ran to see Zhou Gong, maybe Zhou Guild would tell him the answer, but only he knew.
It was the only night he slept peacefully and comfortably in prison.
Crunch –
There was a knock at the door, there was the sound of staggering footsteps, and the guards came to call him - it was the day of the trial, and he was brought to the courtroom.
His clothes were dirty, his mouth was stubble, and his skin was much whiter because he couldn't see the sun. But there is one thing that is most different from the past, and it is also the most special: the spirit is particularly vibrant.
Probably a good night's sleep! So it's important to sleep.
He looked at the auditorium and saw Xing Kong, who was sitting on a chair in a black dress, but there was no grandfather, he looked back and forth, not letting go of any corner: "No, still not, maybe grandpa is waiting for him at home." ”
Xiong Shu's heart throbbed a little, his eyelids suddenly jumped, he felt something strange, and thought: "No, there must be something wrong, how could it be, why didn't it come." ”
He couldn't help but be anxious, but the reality told him: wait, wait for the trial, wait for the final judgment.
……
Under Yan Shunhua's unremitting efforts and strong defense, the court finally acquitted Xiong Shu and released him in court due to insufficient evidence, according to the principle of criminal law and law, and never guilty in doubt.
After it was over, Xiong Shu said thank you to them, and flew out like an arrow off the string, his heart was very flustered, and an ominous premonition enveloped him.
Xiong Shu's mind kept echoing a thought: "Go home - find grandpa." ”
Before Xing Kong and Yan Shunhua could speak, his figure had disappeared without a trace.
The two glanced at each other, and seeing that the other party in their eyes looked confused, Xing Kong shrugged helplessly and walked out. Yan Shunhua walked side by side with her and muttered: "What a strange person, in a hurry, is something happening?" ”
After hearing this, Xing Kong said casually: "Who knows? Bombardment, you may not like it here, you want to leave quickly. ”
Yan Shunhua sighed for a moment, suddenly remembered something, and said in a panic: "No, his grandfather, I went to see him at that time, and when I saw his appearance, I was afraid that after he found out, he would have no desire to survive, so I didn't tell him." ”
Xing Kong reacted, his eyes widened and he said in horror: "Oh no, hurry, go to his house." ”
The two rushed out and immediately got into the car. At this time, the sky was lightning and thunder, and after a while, the rainstorm came as promised, just like the day Grandpa Xiong Shu died.
Yan Shunhua drove much faster than before, and Xing Kong sat in the car and grabbed his clothes.
The car stopped in front of a simple house, and as soon as they entered, they saw that everything was scattered on the floor, dirty and messy.
They quickly searched for Xiong Shu's figure, under the bed, behind the door, and ...... room. They searched all the places, and finally saw him shivering in a cupboard, holding a group photo in his hand.
The light caused him discomfort, and he desperately wanted to close it again, but Yan Shunhua wouldn't let him, and she dragged him out of the cabinet.
Xiong Shu sat on the ground decadently, depressed and lifeless, Yan Shunhua grabbed his shoulders and shouted, "Look at me, look at my eyes." ”
Xiong Shu rolled his eyes, and Yan Shunhua's tone began to become gentle: "Your grandfather hopes that you can live well, and he begged Xing Kong to find someone to help you, just hoping that you can come out and be a good person again, not like now." ”
When Xiong Shu heard the words of grandpa, he seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, laughed, and said excitedly: "My grandfather, where did he go, this is fake, right?" You're kidding me. ”
Xing Kong looked at Xiong Shu's smile, a little unexpected, thinking about what to say to minimize the stimulation to him, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Your grandfather, he has passed away." ”
But after listening to this, Xiong Shu became very calm, and asked in a gloomy tone: "Where are you buried?" ”
It's just that the hand that was originally holding Yan Shunhua was released, and he hung weakly on the ground.
Xing Kong planned to comfort a few more words: "Your grandfather, he doesn't blame you, you ......"
Xiong Shu raised his head and looked directly at her, those eyes were bottomless, Xing Kong looked at him for some reason his eyes were stuck, and a chill rushed up from his spine.
A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, and he asked again like a ghost, "My grandfather...... Where are they buried? ”
The water on the roof dripped on Xiong Shu's face, a small drop of water, the expression was calm, Xing Kong's body couldn't help trembling, and he overcame the fear in his heart and persuaded: "The weather is not good today, let's go together tomorrow." ”
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the water on the roof dripped more and more violently, clattering and pounding on the ground.
One sits, one squats, one stands. Behind them is a portrait painting with blazing eyes looking at them.
