Chapter 12: The Quiet World (5)
When Wu Wu and his entourage brought the coal lamp into the stone room, the dark room suddenly lit up. I saw Wang Biqi using a pistol to threaten Qingqian, not far from the edge of the stone wall. He Shiyi was half-leaning, holding a pistol tightly in his hand. The pale face is unusually dignified. There was blood on his chest, presumably seriously injured. Wu Wu hurriedly ran over and held He Shiyi.
"Haha. There are so many people who come to my funeral, and it is really in vain that I have come here. After adapting to the sudden light, Wang Biqi laughed loudly after seeing the group of people standing opposite.
In just one night, this is the second time, Wang Biqi pointed a gun at herself.
At this time, Qingqian's heart was unusually calm. If it's really a catastrophe, then let it be! Thinking of this, she obediently let Wang Biqi coerce herd, and approached He Wet Clothes step by step.
When the distance was closer, I saw that the condition of He wet clothes was very bad. He is usually a strong person, but now he is injured and has no strength in his body, so he can only rely on Wu Wu to help. Looking at it lightly, my heart was slightly cold.
He Shiyi's face was pale, but he smiled brightly: "Wang Biqi, you will conclude that you will blow up this embankment." ”
Wang Biqi's expression changed: "What do you mean?" ”
"Don't you think your journey has been too smooth?"
Coming to the Cotton Lake Dam today, except for the interception of He Shiyi, everything went smoothly along the way. Wang Biqi's heart was actually a little suspicious. At this time, I saw He Shiyi's confident appearance. In his heart, he suddenly felt that he was wet, and the gun that was coerced on the side of Qingqian's ear was a little tighter.
"I've already seen the map you got it. How could I allow such a thing to fall into your hands? All that gunpowder is fake. He Shi didn't finish speaking, and frowned coldly at the shallow place, and then smiled slightly ironically.
Qing Qian was suddenly like Wang Biqi, and her whole body stiffened.
"You ......" Wang Biqi's eyes were red, and she was already extremely angry when she thought about it.
"Good strategy." Wang Biqi laughed angrily, and the gun clasped in Qingqian's ear was still clinging: "It's just that the surname is He, even if I die, I have to find someone to back my back." ”
When Qingqian heard He Shiyi's words, he was already disheartened. This person, when he said this, spoke coldly. Such a careful mind must have been premeditated at a very early stage! Suddenly hearing what Wang Biqi meant, there was no fluctuation in the heart of the stagnant water. No matter how unbearable the facts are, I have already seen them, so why not make more of this one.
"Although she has a marriage contract with me, but this time, if you want her to be buried with you, I can't help it." He Shiyi looked at the gun against Qingqian's ear with cold eyes.
When everyone heard He Shiyi's ruthless words, all of a sudden, all kinds of personal feelings were in their hearts.
Wang Biqi looked at He Wet clothes like that, and she didn't act at all. Although she used Qingqian several times to threaten He Wet Clothes, in fact, she did not have the intention of wanting Qingxiao's life in her heart. And if she really wants to do something to Qingqian, she can't do it. At this moment, he was a little flustered.
"How could I have asked you to save me, you deceived me like this, even if I die, I don't want you to save me." The light voice was soft, but the sentences were clear, and the face was expressionless.
He Shiyi saw it in his eyes, and his heart was already in great pain, but his face could only be indifferent.
He Shiyi's change was too sudden, but his face was ruthless, and he had no posture at all. After thinking about it, the use value of Qingqian has been exhausted, and he is about to marry Qi Ya, so if he doesn't take advantage of this to abandon Qingqian, when should he wait. Immediately, everyone was silent on the spot.
"Aunt Bi, if you let Qingqian go, the little nephew will ensure that you leave safely." Quietly, Ge Jing's voice came. I don't know when, he has walked to He Shiyi's side, with a pistol in his hand, and the muzzle of the gun is facing He Shiyi.
"Ge Jing." Wu Wu and his gang were shocked when they saw Ge Jing attacking at this time, and they all drew their spears and aimed them at Ge Jing.
"Heh, I want to try, is your gun fast or the surname He's life is harder." Ge Jing sneered, not caring at all.
"Brother Ge." Looking at Ge Jing's appearance, his heart was sour and sad. For a while, I couldn't help but burst into tears, and I couldn't stop the tears.
"I know in your heart, you don't think much of me. If I die for you, you must remember me, or I will not let you go. "It's rare for Ge Jing to use such a ruffian tone to talk to people.
"What, Ge Dashao wants to die and tell his heartfelt feelings? It's also cost-effective to exchange your Cao Gang's life for a woman. Wang Biqi, you can't let people go. Although He Shiyi was injured, the violent color in his eyes did not diminish at all.
Wang Biqi naturally agreed.
She walked a few slow steps, just as she was about to cross the crowd and go out outside the stone room. Seeing a group of soldiers who were close to He Shiyi, they were all waiting for battle, with their spears clenched. My heart moved, and I thought of something. The footsteps paused slightly, and they were about to retreat.
It's just that there's still time to come. He Shiyi jumped violently, he was covered in blood and was seriously injured. But as if he had suddenly gained divine power, the leap towards Wang Biqi was very fast, and everyone didn't have time to see that he had already stabbed Wang Biqi's neck. With the other hand, he pushed Qing shallow away with a fierce force.
Wang Biqi tried her best to pull the trigger, and with a muffled sound, the bullet could be inserted into He Shiyi's arm, and suddenly, the blood did not stop. Wu Wu and the others woke up and quickly pounced on Wang Biqi and held He Shiyi. Wang Biqi struggled and was subdued in the end.
"You can't die a good death, you dare to attack me. You haven't even looked at the map, and the gunpowder is real. Wang Biqi hated it so much that she couldn't bite it with a mouthful of teeth.
"It's you who are suspicious and can't blame me." He Shiyi laughed at this time, but his face was pale and bloodless.
"Shallow." Ge Jing's voice came anxiously.
He Shiyi stopped talking to Wang Biqi and went to see the shallow. He used his force just now, and the entrance to the stone chamber was already narrow. Qing Qian was defenseless, and was pushed to the stone wall by him, and his forehead was broken by a raised stone, and blood flowed immediately.
He Shiyi just pursed his lips and looked at it, but did not move.
Qingqian was supported by Ge Jing, although his forehead was injured, the pain was abnormal. There is a place in my heart that is a hundred times more painful than it.
Her mouth was dry, she looked at the indifferent person opposite, and finally asked, "You just ......."
"I'm telling the truth, if I can't save it, I won't save it." He Shiyi seemed to know what Qing Qian wanted to ask, and before Qing Qian could finish speaking, he had blurted out.
"He wets." Ge Jing, who was holding Qing Qian, obviously felt a shock all over his body, and couldn't stop scolding He Wet clothes loudly.
"Brother Ge, let's go!" After listening to He Shiyi's words, Qing Qian chuckled lightly and turned his head to Ge Jingdao.
"He can go, you, can't." He Shiyi glanced at an adjutant beside Qing Qian, and several adjutants quickly separated Qing Qian from Ge Jing.
"What do you want?" The adjutant didn't dare to exert himself, Qing Qian only broke free slightly, walked a few steps, and was already in front of He Wet Clothes.
He Shiyi was very close to her, and the stubbornness and hatred in her eyes were all in his eyes. He knew that between them, he could no longer do anything for her, he could only let her be ruthless to herself.
"I want you by my side." He Shiyi smiled and looked shallow, as if there was no one around. They didn't see that much of what they had experienced. He is still the young colonel who is like a warm wind.
"You ......." Qing's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Take Miss Yan back first." He Shiyi said as he glanced at the adjutant who bound Ge Jing, and the adjutant took Ge Jing and left the stone room with Qing Qian according to the order.
"What do you want to do to Brother Ge?" Qing Qian was still struggling, and immediately became alert.
"As long as I can see you all the time, I will naturally not do anything to him." He Shiyi said very lightly, and when he heard it lightly, he shivered.
When the adjutant escorted Wang Biqi and Ge Jing, led Qing Qian, disappeared into the secret passage of the stone room, and finally disappeared. He wet's body was like a light thin paper, depressed.
Wu Wu exclaimed.
Wu Wu went to help He wet his clothes, and his hands were suddenly wet red.
He Shiyi was injured, and Qi Ya got the news at noon on the second day.
She is He Shiyi's genuine fiancée, and when she went to Huaijiang Hospital, naturally a guard personally led her to He Shiyi's ward. Luo Rongkai and He Xinwan, who was sick, had already arrived. Come to think of it, she was the last to get the news.
He Shiyi was still in a coma, and his mouth kept muttering a shallow name. On the white sheets, stains of blood, looking at He wet clothes like that, Qi Ya felt weak for no reason. She didn't know everything about what happened yesterday, but Yan Qingqian was rescued, it was true. She was his fiancée, but she was nothing.
He Xinwan sat in front of the hospital bed and wept silently, Luo Rongkai's face was unusually ugly, and he didn't say a word. After listening to Wu Wu's report, he didn't say anything. Maybe he also understands that if he does something more, he is afraid that it will really hurt the relationship between father and son.
Qi Ya stood in the ward for a while, felt depressed, and came outside. The sun was just right, and at the end of the long corridor, the windows were wide open skylight, and the sky was blue. Qi Ya stood quietly under the window.
After a long time, a figure approached Qi Ya's side: "Miss Qi is good." ”
The hallway was carpeted and silent. So much so that Gu Yu approached Qi Ya's side today, and Qi Ya realized: "Secretary Gu is good." Qi Ya's impression of Gu Yujin was only in the secretary of the commander-in-chief. She would talk to herself in a way she didn't expect.
"Miss Qi, there are some things that I don't know if I should say or not."
"Secretary Gu, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Although he is the secretary of the commander-in-chief, he has a very good personal relationship with Colonel He. Miss Qi is both Colonel Ho's fiancée and my friend. Colonel He's career is prosperous, and in the near future, Miss Qi will be promoted to the commander's wife. I think that Miss Qi should be more open-minded in order to make long-term plans. After that, he will not regret it. ”
"What Secretary Gu said is very true, but your victory, forgive me for being difficult to accept. Whatever the identity of the wet suit, I don't care. What I care about is that there is only one woman standing next to her, and that person is me. Qi Ya knew in her heart that no matter whose order this Secretary Gu was to be a lobbyist, what she said was polite. But what she said to her was not fake.
"As a person in the army, I understand Colonel He's difficulties, and some things, being too persistent, are not necessarily a good thing. That's all I have to say, and I hope Miss Qi will think carefully. Gu Yujin's face looked as always, and after saying this, he turned around and left.
Qi Ya looked at Yu Jin's demeanor and words, and became more convinced that someone must have come to act as a lobbyist for He Shiyi. Gu Yujin is Luo Rongkai's secretary, and the person behind her is self-evident. Otherwise, someone would invite this cold secretary to come and spend this talk with himself. Thinking of this, Qi Ya's heart tightened for no reason.
When he was concentrating, he saw that the door of He Wet Clothes Ward was opened. Luo Rongkai came out with He Xinwan in his arms, looked up and saw Qi Ya standing under the window, only glanced at it in vain, and left in a hurry. Earlier, Wu Wu hurriedly rushed out to find a doctor and nurse, Qi Ya suddenly woke up, what happened to Mrs. He? Putting away his thoughts, he hurriedly followed.
The doctor gave first aid for a while, and when He Xinwan woke up, it was already afternoon. During this, Luo Rongkai did not say a word to Qi Ya. It should have been since she came to the hospital, and Luo Rongkai had never spoken to her.
A little later, Qi Ya went to He Shiyi's hospital room. After sitting for a long time, I didn't see any signs of waking up. It's just that his mouth sometimes mutters a shallow name. The doctors and nurses were all dismissed, and the rest of the people had already gone to He Xinwan, leaving her alone, guarding He Xiyi's bedside.
The man on the bed is the object of her long-term affection, from the age of thirteen to the present. She never doubted that if she liked him, she wanted him to like her. And, he's going to like her.
However, in the world, there is nothing as simple as the equation of addition and subtraction.
Qi Ya sat stiffly in the chair for a long time, and when she got up again, she only felt sore. After a few words with the doctors and nurses, he went home alone.
In autumn, the nights are getting cooler. The car was moving up the road, and there was no one to be seen on either side. The street lamps on both sides of the street are dimly lit. Qi Ya sat in the carriage and only felt unusually cold. Recently, the relationship with the eldest brother Qi Huo has also been deadlocked. Fortunately, there was a sister-in-law by the side to mediate, so that she would not completely turn her face. Before today, Qi Ya didn't feel anything. But after listening to Gu Yujin's words today, she suddenly seemed to wake up.
The car approached the gate, and Ah Liang, who was guarding the door, greeted him respectfully: "Third Miss, the old lady is back." ”
Qi Ya's hand holding on to the car door stiffened.
Since handing over the Qi family's business to Qi Huo, Mrs. Qi has lived alone on Shao Mi Mountain and rarely goes down the mountain. I came back suddenly this time, but I don't know why.
"Where is the eldest lady now?"
"The old lady has been home for most of the day, and she is probably resting in the upper room at this time." Ah Liang couldn't help but say.
Qi Ya entered the gate and did not return to his courtyard, all the way to the upper room. Before he approached the corridor, he heard the sound of conversation and laughter coming from the upper room. She straightened her shirt slightly, and was about to walk inside, when she caught a glimpse of a man standing in the corridor, and her steps stopped slightly.
"Big brother."
"Mother's body is not yet well, you can talk to me later." Qi Huo's eyes were full of warning.
Qi Ya was excited, but she pretended to be calm, and her head was slightly raised: "I naturally have something to say." ”
"Is Xiaoya back?" Mrs. Qi heard the movement in the room, and raised her voice to ask outside, and Mrs. Qi's attendant came to open the door. Ziho had to stop talking.
"Auntie, after enjoying so many days on the mountain, you are willing to come back to see us." Qi Ya was the first to rush in.
When I entered the house, I saw that there were several wives sitting in the house, all of whom had a good personal relationship with Mrs. Qi on weekdays, and several people got together to play mahjong. The sister-in-law was also there, sitting next to Mrs. Qi.
"It's not, it's tight to think of a girl." Xu had been recuperating in the mountains for a long time, and Old Madam Qi's complexion looked a lot redder.
"His daughter-in-law has only been with me for a long time, and he will come to this one of these times, this adopted son ......" Old Madam Qi saw Qi Huo who was following Qi Ya, and turned her head to say to the wife next to her. Although it seemed to be a reproach, the smile on his face became more and more intense.
Bian Shaoyan next to him had already blushed and hung his head, but he didn't hear it.
"What the mother said, the son is thinking that you are tired from the car, and wants to ask you to rest early and not get tired. This piece of filial piety is a waste for you. Qi Huo approached Mrs. Qi with a smile.
"Okay, it's not my wife's fault for blaming me. The wives and I are tired, so I let your daughter-in-law go back early to rest. You go and send a few competent people and a few wives back to your house ....... ”
Several wives were polite, and they left with the driver of the Qi family. In the house, after a while, only Qi Ya and Old Lady Qi were left.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, come over quickly, let the eldest lady take a good look, whether she is fat or thin." Old Madam Qi beckoned to Qi Ya in the corner.
Since entering the door, Old Madam Qi did not snub Qi Ya, and the surrounding environment did not snub Qi Ya, but Qi Ya suddenly felt unusually isolated. Just about to leave and say goodbye, when he heard the words of Old Madam Qi, he couldn't stop crying.
"Auntie." With a low cry, he threw himself into the arms of Old Madam Qi.
"Yo yo, they're all engaged people, why are they still like children." Old Madam Qi doted on Qi Ya into her arms.
"You know it all." Qi Ya raised her head in slight surprise.
"How could I not know that you are engaged for such a big thing, the reason why you haven't come back, I have my considerations." Old Madam Qi sighed slightly, and continued: "The second brother has passed away, and I know it. ”
"Auntie." Qi Ya looked at Old Madam Qi in shock, the eldest lady knew everything.
"Now that we are the two aunts and nephews left, the eldest mother may wish to say something considerate to you. The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, back then, the second brother advocated marrying Xiaoyou to Hua Jicang, and I was very worried. But at that time, the situation of the Qi family really did not have a better way. It's because I can't stand Xiaoyou, and I watched her enter the fire pit. But as the daughter of the Qi family, this is her life. If Huo Er is a daughter, it will not be Xiaoyou. ”
"Hmm." Qi Ya believed that what Old Madam Qi said was true. If you say, among all the people she has met and known in more than ten years, who does she trust the most? That was Old Madam Qi.
"Your father's heart is too ruthless, and I am not very relieved to hand over the Qi family to him. Huo Er is young and has not experienced anything, and he is also an uncomfortable person. But if the Qi family is handed over to him, at least there won't be any big mess...... I thought so, but I didn't do it before I left home. In the early years, your uncle died, and your father suffered a lot for this family. My heart softened, and I didn't limit him anything...... In the back, he emptied the Qi family's silver treasury, and it became more and more difficult to clean up...... Your father's death, aunt, I am also responsible. ”
"Auntie......" Qi Ya muttered to Mrs. Qi, this is a lot, it is true that she does not understand and does not know.
"Good boy, you insist that you be engaged to He Weiyi. Even at the expense of turning his face with your eldest brother, are these really what you want? Old Madam Qi looked at Qi Ya's eyes, full of compassion.
Qi Ya's mind unconsciously came to mind, in the afternoon in the ward, He Shiyi muttered a shallow name. Putting away his thoughts, he said solemnly to Mrs. Luo: "Hmm." ”
"It's all from here, and you're starting to hesitate." Old Madam Qi smiled knowingly.
"I ...... No. Qi Ya hurriedly confessed.
"No, you know better than anyone else. You grew up under my watch, and living in a family like ours, you must have your pride. What do you want to do, the aunt will not hinder you. But the eldest lady also wants to remind you that no matter what, it is better to leave a way back for yourself. ”
"I understand." Qi Ya responded abruptly.
After talking to Old Madam Qi, she came out outside, and the night became thicker and thicker.
Walking in the unmanned courtyard, Qi Ya only felt inexplicably lonely.
The aunt's words are not all unreasonable. In front of him, the closer he got to He Wetyi, the more he cut off his back road. In the early years, the Qi family's business was inextricably linked with the military department. Over the years, through the eldest mother's slow dotting, she has gradually drawn a line with the military department. The Qi family wanted to break away from the military department, Qi Ya was more sensible, so she heard it in the mouth of the eldest mother.
Recently, some of his own actions have brought the Qi family and the military department together.
Although the eldest lady was not to blame, Qi Ya only felt that it was abnormal. Since the death of her sister and father, she has a lot of dissatisfaction and resentment towards her eldest brother and the Qi family. But she also knows what kind of person her father is. just ignore the good and bad of his own actions, and insist on acting recklessly. Qi family to her, love more than others.
If the century-old foundation of the Qi family is ruined in her hands. She tried everything, even if she ended up with He Shiyi, what was the point. It is not worth it for a person who does not love himself. But after all, she wanted to give it one last try.
