Chapter 221: Death in vain
"So let's go?"
Lin Yulin packed up all the things, put another bag on the few soil samples and the small book that recorded the data, and put them in the backpack.
She put on her backpack and waved her hand in the direction of the sun, "Let's go!" ”
While the sun was not very hot, the two set off for Dongshan.
Lu Jiyao walked ahead of her, clearing the rattan weeds and thorny branches one by one, and opened the way for her.
His figure is not particularly tall and burly, but it just blocks the sunlight shining from the east, and this subtle thoughtfulness makes Lin Yulin's heart glow with a strange sweetness.
Different from Qin Zeyang's simple and crude "I am your backing" way of care, Lu Jiyao has always let her get used to her existence little by little, and then infiltrate, erode, and enter her life.
After nearly five hours of travel, I finally saw the road leading to Higashiyama.
The road was peculiar and easily recognizable, with two lanes like one eye, and in the middle was a huge banyan tree surrounded by several people.
In order to keep the big banyan tree, when the road was repaired, many villagers on Dongshan volunteered to contribute a lot of money.
Since then, this tree has become the signboard of Dongshan Village, and some people have come to recognize the tree with their relatives, which is really incomprehensible.
After seeing the tree, they walked for another quarter of an hour before the two arrived at the shade of the tree, rested for a while, and returned to Lin's house.
After arriving home, Lin Yulin remembered that her guest room and master bedroom were locked, and she only brought the door and the key to her own room.
That's embarrassing.
After thinking about it, Lin Yulin still felt that he couldn't wronged Lu Jiyao, "Brother Ji Yao, otherwise you sleep in my room tonight, and I will sleep on the sofa in the living room!" ”
"How's that going to work? Of course it's your bed, and I can do it anywhere. Of course, Lu Jiyao would not agree.
Lin Yulin insisted: "But you are a guest!" ”
"Alright then!" Lu Jiyao reluctantly agreed, but he planned to take advantage of Lin Yulin's sleep and take her to bed in the middle of the night.
Both were very happy with the result, in fact, both had trained in the wilderness, and it didn't matter where they slept anymore.
arranged the question of where the two of them slept at night, and took turns to take care of themselves, and then went out to Qin Zeyang's house to eat.
As early as when he decided to go back to Dongshan, Lin Yulin called Qin Zeyang's mother.
Qin's mother knew that her son had a good relationship with Lin Yulin, and originally thought that he had found a childhood sweetheart and a child daughter-in-law, but she didn't expect that during the Chinese New Year, Lin Yulin brought her boyfriend back.
This made her worry for a while, but later found out that Qin Zeyang had already known about it, and she didn't react at all, so she was relieved.
Immediately, he was worried about Qin Zeyang's family and career.
received a call from Lin Yulin, knowing that she had just gone to see Qin Zeyang, Qin's mother invited her to dinner as usual, thinking that she could get something out of Lin Yulin's place.
"Mother Qin, I'm back!" Lin Yulin took Lu Jiyao to skillfully come to the door to eat, and did not forget to praise Qin Zeyang's current situation, this is all a standard process.
When she comes back normally, there is no one in her family, so she loves to come to the Qin family, and she is already very familiar with it.
Qin's mother has always regarded her as a daughter-in-law before, and her deceased daughter is the same age as her, and she has grown up since she was a child, so she naturally gets along very well.
With dinner, Qin's mother replaced Lin Yulin's mother's identity and asked a bunch of questions about Lu Jiyao's family background, work, car and house.
Fortunately, Lu Jiyao's answer was not leaky, and he perfectly played the role of an older young man from a well-off family who concentrated on his studies and delayed his lifelong events.
Qin's mother compared her son and Lu Jiyao in her heart, and finally recognized Lin Yulin's vision, but she still stubbornly felt that her son was not bad.
After the meal, Lin Yulin sent Lu Jiyao home first, and while she was washing the dishes, she asked Qin's mother: "Mother Qin, I want to ask, was it really an accident when I fell into the water?" ”
Mother Qin's face changed, it had been a long time, but she still remembered the biting cold under the scorching sun that day.
Her lips trembled, but she never spoke, just looked at Lin Yulin a little blankly, as if she wanted to penetrate her and see another person.
After not receiving an answer for a long time, Lin Yulin raised his head and met her gaze, "Mother Qin?" ”
As if awakened, she finally sighed, "I don't know either...... Zelin was only twelve years old that year, and I still can't believe she's gone. I always felt like she just went to school. ”
Wiping the corners of her eyes, Mother Qin restrained her emotions, although it has been eleven years since this incident, every time she thinks about it, it still makes her heart ache.
Lin Yulin heard Qin Zeyang talk about it once, and when he found out, Qin Zelin was already out of breath. When they called the police, they did not find any useful evidence that he had been killed.
"Even if our whole family doesn't believe it, we can't help it. And it's been so long, she should have been reincarnated and be a good daughter. ”
She firmly believes that people have reincarnation, so she also worships the Buddha vegetarian one day a week, just so that Qin Zelin can have a good rebirth.
"Mother Qin, do you remember? I also fell into the water during that time, but fortunately, Qin Zeyang saved me. ”
"Remember, why don't you remember? I also had a lot of fire, when Zelin had just left, Zeyang went into the water to save you, I was really scared to death. Qin's mother was a little embarrassed to say that no mother is really willing to risk her child's life to save people.
Of course, Lin Yulin could understand, comforted Qin's mother a few words, put the washed dishes in the cupboard, and wiped his hands.
Mother Qin lovingly touched the girl who was already taller than herself, and sighed with some emotion: "Fortunately, Zeyang saved a good child." ”
Faced with such a woman who loves her like a mother, knowing that what she said might make her feel like a lightning strike, Lin Yulin was difficult to speak for a while, but she had to tell the truth.
When Mother Qin saw her wanting to stop talking like this, she thought that something terrible had happened, thinking of the young man named Lu Jiyao, she asked cautiously, "What?" Did your boyfriend abuse you? Or are you pregnant? ”
Lin Yulin organized for a long time, but when he was interrupted by this, his thoughts were scattered again, but he still decided to tell the truth.
"No, it's not my business." Although I had already decided in my heart that I wanted to find out the people behind the scenes, this news was too cruel for Qin's mother.
After all, according to her beliefs, those who die in vain have no income and no management, and they cannot be reborn, so they can only stay in the world as a lonely ghost.
She really didn't want to say it if she could.
Taking a deep breath, she still opened her mouth with some difficulty: "Mother Qin, I suspect that the target of that person at that time was me, and Sister Zelin was implicated by me." ”
