Chapter 692: Send him off for the last time
The matter of Xu Dong and Wen Yi came soon, the Xu family can be described as a double happiness, and they recognized Zhou Yimo and Xu Guochang, the Internet was particularly popular, and the public's attention was attracted by the Xu family's affairs, but they "snubbed" another news.
Liang Lin was sentenced to death by the court for intentional homicide, and the execution was scheduled for 10 o'clock on Monday morning.
The whole Liang Mansion was silent that night, and all the servants could hide after preparing dinner "hid", and the sunspot entered the house at about seven o'clock, and saw that the food on the dining room table had not moved at all.
"Kuan Ye hasn't come out for dinner yet?" He asked the man who was standing at the table.
The subordinate sighed helplessly: "No, I have been in the Buddha hall for an afternoon." ”
Kuroko's eyes paused: "I'll go over and take a look." He turned to go out, but as soon as he turned around, he heard the sound of a wooden door, and someone came in from outside, carrying the smoke and candles from the Buddhist hall.
"Kuanye!" The subordinate bowed first.
Kuroko looked over and saw that Liang Kuan's face was expressionless, his eyes swept around the room, and finally landed on the table of dishes.
Many days have passed since Liang Lin's accident, especially in the more than a week after the court's sentencing, everyone thought that Liang Kuan must be grief-stricken, after all, it was his most painful brother, but during this time, Kuroko found that he was still the same as usual, chanting scriptures in the morning and evening, three meals a day, except for his gloomy face, he seemed to be the same as no one, and he really couldn't believe that he could face Liang Lin's death penalty like this.
Kuroko is actually a little uncertain, but he always feels that it is not peaceful.
He walked over and said, "It's not early, you can eat something first." ”
Liang Kuan stood still, his eyes silent.
Seeing that he didn't refuse, Kuroko cast a look at the next person: "Go and bring the dishes out to heat up." ”
The man probably couldn't stand still in the house for a long time, so he walked out with two dishes in a hurry, but before he could cross the threshold, he was stopped by Liang Kuan: "Don't be so troublesome, just eat like this." ”
The servant was stunned for a moment, looking at the sunspot timidly, he could only nod slightly, and the man brought the dish back.
"Then Master Kuan, you eat first, call me if you have something!" Kuroko planned to go out first, he knew Liang Kuan's temper, he liked to eat alone, and no one could disturb him, but as soon as he turned around, he heard the sound of moving a chair behind him.
"Sit down, eat a little more with me."
“……”
The subordinate quickly added a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and Heizi sat opposite Liang Kuan, he paid attention to the other party's expression, but it was very strange, there was no trace of sadness on Liang Kuan's face, only loneliness and exhaustion.
"It's been a long time since I've sat down like this and eaten face to face with me." This is the first sentence Liang Kuan said at the dinner table, it seems to be very ordinary, and even the tone is as shallow as if it were homely, but Heizi heard some absoluteness from it, this absoluteness is not in the expression, not in the demeanor, but hidden in his heart, with a little calm and indifference after the opening.
It is rumored that the ruthless Liang Kuan has grown old, and he has begun to focus on business over the years, although these businesses may not be very legitimate, but they are much better than what he did when he was young.
"Let's have some soup first." Liang Kuan took the initiative to serve a bowl to Heizi and personally delivered it to him, and the Buddha beads wrapped around his wrist accidentally knocked on the edge of the bowl, and jingled a few times.
Kuroko looked up, "I'll do it myself." ”
Liang Kuan was not polite, handed over the soup bowl and sat back on the chair, and then looked at the sunspot in a daze, "Drink!" ”
"......" Heizi was a little helpless with half a bowl of cold soup, but seeing that Liang Kuan was so serious, he could only scoop it with a soup spoon and drink two sips, it was a specially stewed pork bone soup, which was added with Huaishan and radish, the material was not high-quality, but it was expensive in the heat, and it was said that it was stewed in the kitchen for an afternoon.
After drinking, a smile suddenly appeared on Liang Kuan's face, "How does it taste?" ”
Heizi was a little embarrassed with the bowl, to be honest, the soup was already cold, and there was a layer of oil floating on it, and the taste was definitely not much better, but seeing Liang Kuan's slightly expectant expression, he could only stubbornly say, "It tastes good." ”
Liang Kuan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief slightly, "It tastes good, I remember that Liang Lin liked to drink bone broth the most when he was a child, but at that time he was too poor to eat, in order to let him get some meat, I went to the vegetable market to collect the pork bones with shaved meat, and when I came back, I put more water in the pot to stew, and stewed for several hours, and the soup tasted like this." ”
The man in the chair seemed to be reminiscing, and the expression in his eyes was gentle and smooth.
Heizi knew that Liang Kuan loved this younger brother very much, when his parents died, Liang Lin was still very young, and Liang Kuan almost brought him up as if he was a father and mother, and later the two brothers "broke through" all the way from Xincheng to S City.
How many ups and downs along the way are only known to them, perhaps it was the dependence on each other at that time that laid such a emotional foundation, anyway, everyone around knew that Liang Kuan was ruthless, but he was obedient to this younger brother and wanted to give him everything, and in a few hours, this younger brother who he regarded as his life would be taken to the execution penalty.
Kuroko couldn't believe his eyes, he felt that Liang Kuan's reaction was too bland, and it was weird, so unusual, Kuroko's heart became more and more uneasy, and he always felt that this was the calm before the storm, "Master Kuan, ...... tomorrow"
"Tomorrow you come and pick me up early, I'll bring a can of soup to see him off."
At night, the lights of the Buddha hall were turned on all night, and the house was as quiet as death. Kuroko didn't sleep well all night, and he drove in as soon as it was dark. There was no one in the yard, and the wind blew off a lot of dead leaves from the trees at night. At about six o'clock, the wooden door "creaked", and Liang Kuan wore a cloth shirt and pants and walked out of it.
"Kuanye......" Kuroko passed. Ambiguous 43
Liang Kuan took a fixed look, his pupils were bloodshot and gloomy, probably he didn't sleep all night last night, and at this age, a little blow can make people look ten years older.
"Let's go, accompany me to send Liang Lin." He came down from the steps of the Buddha hall, the soles of his feet stepping over the dead leaves that covered the ground, and the hem of his cloth coat swayed gently by the wind, leaving a cold figure for Ah Xing.
Death row inmates can meet with their families before their execution, which is actually a final farewell.
Liang Lin has no father or mother since he was a child, and his only relative is Liang Kuan, so Liang Kuan naturally wants to send him off for the last time as a family member.
The place where they met was in the small room of the detention center, Liang Kuan arrived first, sat there and waited, a few minutes later the bailiff came in with Liang Lin, and when he saw Liang Kuan, he stumbled over, "Big brother......
He threw himself in front of Liang Kuan, his legs were weak and he knelt on the ground, and the bailiff next to him didn't bother to help, but just explained: "Half past eight o'clock for a physical examination, take it to the execution ground at nine o'clock, there are still some procedures to go after the family meeting, so hurry up, the last time, finish everything you want to say, don't take it to the coffin." ”
The bailiff was probably used to such scenes, so he explained in a tone that was completely devoid of any emotion, and after saying that, he walked out and closed the door of the small room......
After the person left, Liang Lin cried even more fiercely.
"Big brother, you have to save me, I don't want to die, I don't want to die yet......" A handful of snot and tears, hugging Liang Kuan's calf, the same expression as Zhou Yiqian when he came over that day.
Maybe Zhou Yiqian's appearance rekindled his hope for life, he felt that they actually had a chance to be together, or maybe he thought that Liang Kuan would not watch him die, and would definitely find a way to save him.
But Liang Kuan didn't come until today, and Liang Lin was basically desperate in his heart, but there was still a glimmer of hope in the despair.
Liang Kuan was still sitting on the chair, and his body was a little shaky from being hugged, but he could still hold on.
"Get up, get up first." He bent down and helped Liang Lin to the chair opposite, Liang Lin's hands and feet were weak, and he needed to put his chest against the edge of the table to barely sit still.
After sitting up, he still grabbed Liang Kuan's wrist, and the Buddha was wrapped around his wrist, and he dragged him tightly.
"Big brother, are you here to take me home?" At this moment, he still had hope, and although he had made up his mind in his heart, he was still a little unwilling.
Liang Kuan still didn't have any expression on his face, but just glanced at Liang Lin fixedly.
A thirty-year-old man, his hair is shaved short, a scar on his forehead when he was a child is exposed, and months of imprisonment have tortured him to the point that he is not human, and at this point he can no longer care about the dignity of a man, crying tears and snot on his face.
Liang Kuan withdrew his gaze and breathed slowly, without speaking, only turned sideways and took up a bag from the side, the bag contained a thermos pot, the lid of the pot was opened, and the heat came out.
"I made you your favorite pork bone soup." As he spoke, he poured out a small half bowl and handed the spoon over, "Come, eat something hot, eat it well and go on the road." ”
"Liang Lin ......" Liang Kuan gritted his teeth and pulled his hand away, lowered his head and swallowed hard, "It's the eldest brother who is sorry for you, you can only take one step first, but the eldest brother has already helped you take care of it, no shooting, no pain, a few seconds will pass, you should take a sleep." ”
I saw Liang Lin leaning back, stumbling heavily, but fortunately there was a chair back behind him, staring at him like dead ashes.
Liang Kuan twisted all his fingers together, closed his eyes, and was silent for a long time, and an autumn wind blew in through the window with iron bars.
The leaves withered, the flowers fell, and the cold wind rose......
Liang Kuan's fingers trembled underneath, his heart was cut, he pressed it with his hand, and pushed the bowl in front of him again, "Drink, drink a little while it's hot, drink it and go on the road." ”
Life is such a journey, someone sends, someone picks up, some are the right way, some are doomed to death, which one do you choose, is the bright road or the dead road in the underworld, there is no room to turn back.
Liang Lin trembled and picked up the spoon on the table, lowered his head and took a sip, and swallowed it with tears.
Liang Kuan watched from the other side, watching his only relative in the world drink all the soup he stewed. Half an hour later, someone banged on the iron door, like the sound of hell coming to demand his life, Liang Lin almost slipped off his chair, and the bowl and spoon and the soup in the cup were scattered everywhere.
"When it's time, the family members should go out first." Two bailiffs came in.
Liang Lin crawled to the feet of Liang Kuan.
"Brother...... You take me away, you take me away, think of a way, I'm going to go home, spend money, find someone, anything...... I don't want to die, I don't want to die......" The cry was bitter and tragic, echoing in that small room, I don't know how many souls lingered here, desperate like Liang Lin making a final struggle.
The bailiff was used to picking Liang Lin up from the ground in the past.
"Let's go, time is running out." One by one, Liang Lin spent twelve points hugging Liang Kuan's arm.
"Big brother, big brother ......"
Liang Kuan could only stand stiffly inside, his body was pulled by Liang Lin, but his eyes did not dare to look at him, until the bailiff dragged Liang Lin from the ground and dragged him to the door, Liang Kuan moved, but heard a "snap" sound......
