The evening breeze was blowing, the moonlight was white, even if there were stars in the sky, Lin Yuan had no intention of watching, he only felt that his stomach was very hungry, and his body felt cold, he hugged himself tightly, and looked up at the roof from time to time, looking forward to the appearance of this Duan Jiu's figure.

However, time passed in the Dou Xingxing, and Lin Yuan never waited for Duan Jiu, he felt hungry and cold, so he returned to his guest room.

Lin Yuan sat at the round table and complained anxiously: What is this Xiao Heng doing? Why haven't you come back? Won't you get lost outside? This is going to starve my brother to death.

Lin Yuan looked at the teapot on the table, it was yellow under the oil lamp, he wanted to drink a cup of tea, but as soon as his hand was stretched out, he was afraid that he would be even hungrier after drinking, so he retracted his hand again.

Alas, that's it, just get some sleep, and you won't be hungry when you sleep.

After thinking about it, Lin Yuan sighed, stood up, ran back to the bed, and was lying down, but he heard footsteps approaching outside the corridor.

"Coming back?"

Lin Yuan then stood up again, and really saw Duan Jiu slowly approaching from outside the door with two hanging oil paper bags. His face was like water, and he didn't seem to feel sorry for how long he had been gone.

"My God, Xiao Heng, you are back, if you don't come back, I will starve to death in this ghost inn tonight." “

Lin Yuan hurriedly walked over to Duan Jiu, and when he arrived at Duan Jiu's side, he directly reached out to pick up the oil paper bag in his hand, he couldn't wait.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Duan Jiu said lightly.

"Oh, you still know I'm embarrassed, where did you go, how did you go out for so long?"

Lin Yuan complained and questioned, while eagerly tearing off the rope on the oil paper bag, after cutting the oil paper, there were roast chicken, pancakes, osmanthus cakes and other scattered snacks in the big and small bags, it seemed that he didn't know what Lin Yuan wanted to eat, and bought all the snacks sold in the night market.

Of course, Lin Yuan actually doesn't care about so much, as the saying goes, hunger doesn't choose food, and he now has anything to eat, whether it's dregs or mud, he probably can't bite it.

Duan Jiu saw Lin Yuan eating like this, and was worried that he would choke, so he poured a cup of tea for him and persuaded: "Eat slowly, I won't rob you." ”

Lin Yuan was still pounding on the food, and said, "I'm not afraid of you robbing it, if you want to eat, you can eat together, I'm really hungry." The meal I ate yesterday was only drinking and not eating. ”

Duan Jiu also understood, so he didn't say anything more, but just sat quietly aside.

After sitting for a while, Duan Jiu saw that the evening breeze was blowing into the room, blowing a little cool, so he got up and closed the door, but saw that the Heavenly Maiden Xi was standing in the corridor in front of the room, and when he saw him going out of the door, he smiled at him charmingly.

Duan Jiu walked over and asked, "Miss Xi, it's not early at night, why don't you go back to sleep?"

Heavenly Maiden Xi smiled: "Duan Gongzi hasn't slept yet, so I won't sleep." ”

Duan Jiu said: "I'll go back to sleep, Miss Xi will go back to sleep too." ”

Tiannu Xi chuckled and said, "That son, I'll go back." ”

Seeing Heavenly Maiden Xi enter the guest room, Duan Jiufang only started to return to Lin Yuan's guest room.

It turned out that when the two of them came back, they were doing goodbye in the corridor, but they didn't want Duan Jiu to enter the guest room, but Tiannu Xi seemed to expect Duan Jiu to come out, and deliberately waited for Duan Jiu to say a formal goodbye.

Woman, it's weird.

Duan Jiu closed the door and sat back on the stool opposite Lin Yuan. At this time, Lin Yuan had already finished eating the whole roast chicken, he rummaged through the food on the table, chose a pancake, took a bite, chewed it twice between his mouths, and exclaimed: "Well, this cake is delicious, Xiao Heng, you can have a piece too." ”

After that, he grabbed a piece with his oily hand and handed it to Duan Jiu, who refused: "No, I'm not hungry." ”

"Yes, but this cake is really good, I'll leave you a piece for you to eat tomorrow." Lin Yuan put the cake back on the oiled paper.

Duan Jiu sat on the stool, his eyes seemed to be empty, his eyes were clearly on the table full of food, but he didn't have any thoughts on this food.

"I've been to the Lin Mansion today. Duan Jiu suddenly spoke, his tone was calm, and he said calmly.

Lin Yuan took a bite of the pancake, and after listening to Duan Jiu's words, the pancake stayed in his mouth, his teeth no longer knew how to chew, and the whole person was stunned for a while.

The lights flickered, and the whole house seemed to be swaying, and the shadows of the two people were also flickering. It was as if everything else was still, only the fire, the shadow, was moving.

"Yes, yes?" Lin Yuan slowly came back to his senses, pretending to be casual.

"Yes. I wanted to send you back to the Lin Mansion. Duan Jiu's tone was still calm.

"Send me back to Lin Mansion?" Lin Yuan was surprised, the two words Lin Mansion were both unfamiliar and familiar to him now, and every time he heard these two words, he would unconsciously tremble in his heart. Lin Yuan

Lin Yuan put the leftover pancakes on the table, chewed the pancakes in his mouth, and swallowed them thoroughly before asking, "What about ......it?" Then why don't you send it?"

Duan Jiu replied: "Because, the current Lin Mansion is not the previous Lin Mansion. ”

As soon as these words fell, Lin Yuan's eyes widened and he stared at Duan Jiu, his eyes were full of surprise, the kind of surprise that was seen through the long-planned conspiracy. It's so unbelievable, and it's a pity to be so grateful to those who know me.

"You...... Why do you say that?" asked Lin Yuan.

Duan Jiu confessed: "The coachman who sent our group to the Lin Mansion today asked me if I knew Lin Hong, the owner of the Lin Mansion. After I heard this, I was very surprised, when did the owner of the Lin Mansion become Uncle Lin Hong, not Uncle Lin Tian? It was because of this doubt that I did not send you to the Lin Mansion. I want to hear you tell me for yourself what really happened. ”

"Hehe......"

"Hehehe......" Lin Yuan laughed convulsively all over, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

When did the owner of the Lin Mansion not Lin Tian, but Lin Hong?

What's going on here?

"How do I know what the hell is going on?!" Lin Yuan suddenly stood up and roared at Duan Jiu.

Duan Jiu was still calm, he sat on the seat, he didn't look at Lin Yuan, he didn't look at his face that was intertwined with grief, pain, helplessness, and unwillingness. Because Duan Jiu knew that he couldn't be more familiar with such a mood.

This is the state of mind of a weak person who is extremely powerless against the world - hating the sky, hating the earth, hating the world, hating people, and hating himself.

Lin Yuan suddenly sat down on the stool again, his eyes were rolling with crystal tears, which could be seen under the light of the lamp, and the tears finally turned into tears and slowly flowed down his cheeks.

"It's gone...... My dad is gone......" Lin Yuan said muttering to himself. His tone was so light that it bordered on powerlessness, he was real, and he really didn't have the strength to accept this fact.

"No? Uncle Hayashida...... How come?"

Although Duan Jiu had expected this result a long time ago, when he heard Lin Yuan say it with his own ears, he was still so shocked and incredulous.

This may be people, who always like to use "I already knew" to do vaccination, but often nothing can be prevented.

"How so? haha...... They said that my father died of a violent illness overnight, and like my mother, he died of illness, haha...... Hahaha......" Lin Yuan smiled bitterly, and two lines of hot tears couldn't stop flowing on his cheeks.

When he was six years old, his mother fell ill with a serious disease, and Lin Tian invited famous doctors all over the world, even Liu Wangchun, but in the end he was not diagnosed with any disease. Half a year later, his mother left the acquaintance, with endless reluctance to him.

That year was Lin Yuan's most painful memory. However, such painful memories were released again two years ago.

Lin Tian fell ill overnight and coughed up blood in front of bed. Lin Fu hurriedly invited people to Yuhua Pavilion, but before Liu Wangchun could be invited, Lin Tian coughed to death on the bed.

There was no clear statement, and everyone told Lin Yuan that his father was sick and died. His father had been suffering from this disease for many years, but that night coincided with a worsening attack and could not be saved.

Other clansmen of the Lin family who had more right to speak than Lin Yuan hurriedly cremated Lin Tian after holding a funeral for Lin Tian. Lin Yuan was not left with any opportunity to investigate.

"My father, my father is such a lively person, they told me that he was sick suddenly? Fuck it! Why didn't they get sick overnight! This is clearly murder, someone deliberately murdered!" Lin Yuan cried and cried, and suddenly stood up again, roaring angrily and angrily.

Duan Jiu only felt that his eyes were slightly moist, he didn't cry after all, and he didn't make a sound, just like an extremely indifferent passer-by, listening to a person who didn't know each other listening to him tell a touching story.

"Xiao Heng, I'm useless, I'm useless, I can't save him! I was already nineteen years old at the time, and I obviously had the right to speak at home, but I ...... But I ...... But I didn't dare to stand up and speak in time, I ......"

Lin Yuan suddenly squatted under the table again, hugged his knees, and cried bitterly, like a three-year-old child, crying so sadly, so heartbreaking.

Duan Jiu slowly stood up and slowly walked to Lin Yuan's side, he wanted to hug Lin Yuan, but he didn't do it. He didn't know why he couldn't say a word of comfort at this time, as if he was dumb.

"Xiao Heng, I want to avenge my father, I want to know the truth of the matter......"

Lin Yuan suddenly hugged Duan Jiu's left leg and cried with a whimper, two lines of tears hanging on his face, and two handfuls of snot hanging between his noses.

"So you joined Fangzheng Building?" Duan Jiu asked lightly.

Lin Yuan slowly let go of Duan Jiu's legs, his tears slowly stopped, and he wiped the snot under his nose with his hand. He was originally grief-stricken, but suddenly there was hope in his eyes, revealing light and determination.

"Yes. Fang Zhenglou can save me, can give me a new identity, can let me live to investigate the truth, to avenge my father. Lin Yuan replied.

He slowly stood up and sat back on the stool, he looked at the table full of food, picked up the leftover pancake from the previous meal, and put a whole piece between his mouth. He chewed carefully, he could feel the taste of food, that is, he could still feel life, and if he could have life, he would have the purpose of living.

Duan Jiu also slowly sat back in his original position, his eyes were solemn, he looked at Lin Yuan, and said, "They were originally going to kill you." ”
