Chapter Thirty-Six
Liu Yuewu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, it took a long time to calm down, I re-lit a cigarette for him, he took a deep breath and looked at the smoke rising to recall the past that had been a long time ago, and then slowly told us.
Liu Yuewu is also an orphan, and Mu Hanzhi met in an orphanage, Mu Hanzhi has been smart since he was a child, but he has the best relationship with Liu Yuewu, perhaps because Liu Yuewu is older than her and has always treated her like a sister, the two depend on each other in a lonely and deserted orphanage, and the love between the two has started at that time.
Mu Hanzhi was born to be the life of the opera, his figure, body shape and voice are extremely talented in all aspects, the dean found Mu Hanzhi's talent, and he didn't want her to be buried, he cultivated Mu Hanzhi when she was young, and she lived up to expectations and was admitted to the Academy of Opera with excellent results.
After graduation, Mu Hanzhi relied on his innate talent and solid skills to participate in the performance of "Mandarin Duck Tomb" in the Peking Opera Troupe, and his first appearance was a blockbuster and became the focus of the stars.
It stands to reason that Mu Hanzhi's life should be smooth sailing, and it is completely different that Liu Yuewu, he was abandoned because of his natural disability, Liu Yuewu said this, my eyes looked at his feet, just now when he was walking, I also found that his right leg has been weakly dragging it, it should be congenital polio.
Liu Yuewu is not as lucky as Mu Hanzhi, he can't do anything because of physical reasons, and he has to leave the orphanage when he is old, but Liu Yuewu, who doesn't know anything, even has a problem with his livelihood, but Mu Hanzhi does not dislike him, and has always regarded Liu Yuewu as her brother in her heart.
She tried to arrange Liu Yuewu to the theater to teach him makeup, and every time he performed, others disliked Liu Yuewu for being clumsy and disabled, but Mu Hanzhi always asked Liu Yuewu to transform herself, even if she didn't make it well, she didn't care, after a long time, Liu Yuewu redoubled his efforts to learn makeup in order not to let Mu Hanzhi have flaws when he came on stage, and finally he was better than other makeup artists.
The trajectory of the two should have continued like this normally until ......
When Liu Yuewu said this, his eyes were slowly filled with anger and resentment.
"Until what?" Han Yu heard it and asked anxiously.
Liu Yuewu's technique of applying makeup to the dead was originally taught by Mu Hanzhi, and it stands to reason that Liu Yuewu should stay in the Peking Opera Troupe, but later he became the one who made up the dead, and it seems that what happened later changed the fate of him and Mu Hanzhi at the same time, and we are waiting for him to continue.
Mu Hanzhi is introverted and rarely talks about himself with others, Liu Yuewu slowly sent down Mu Hanzhi and began to become sentimental, always going out for a while after the performance, and when he came back, his face was full of happy smiles.
When he rested, he no longer practiced in the practice room like before, but went out for a whole day, and even didn't return to the troupe several times at night, such things often happened later, Liu Yuewu was worried about what happened to Mu Hanzhi, and asked her in private.
Although Mu Hanzhi will not mention his own affairs to others, he has no reservations about Liu Yuewu, who is his own brother, and tells Liu Yuewu that she is in love, for this news Liu Yuewu is happy for Mu Hanzhi, as an orphan, he can understand the feeling of being loved and cared for more than anyone else, not to mention his sister, of course he hopes that Mu Hanzhi can meet someone who is good to her, give her a home and long-lost family affection.
But Mu Hanzhi's happiness didn't last too long, Liu Yuewu found that the smile and happiness on Mu Hanzhi's face became less and less, and several times he saw her hiding and crying secretly, Liu Yuewu was very worried about her, but after all, he was a girl, and he didn't bother to ask.
Until Mu Hanzhi's belly grew bigger day by day, and the man mentioned by Mu Hanzhi never appeared, the rumors and rumors of the people around him followed, pointing behind Mu Hanzhi's back, she has always been a high-minded and introverted person who couldn't stand it at all, and some good people even made up nonsense to point the finger at Liu Yuewu who Mu Hanzhi introduced.
In order to take care of Mu Hanzhi's reputation, Liu Yuewu chose to leave, he would only make up for people, but the living people hated his defects and disabilities, so he could only paint dead people.
Later, Mu Hanzhi gave birth to Mu Xiaoxuan out of wedlock, and the whole person was ruined, and the once promising Tsing Yi became a sundry for guarding props, Liu Yuewu also went to see Mu Hanzhi several times, but found that she had completely changed, depressed and silent all day long, and often lost her mind in a trance.
It didn't take long for Mu Hanzhi to jump down from the upstairs with the child!
"Then why do you say that Mu Hanzhi was killed by someone?" After listening, Yun Duruo asked eagerly.
Liu Yuewu recalled that Mu Hanzhi came to him the day before he committed suicide, Mu Hanzhi's mood was very good that day, Liu Yuewu hadn't seen her so happy for a long time, the next day was Mu Xiaoxuan's birthday, Mu Hanzhi's favorite food in the orphanage was the steamed bun with bean paste filling, Liu Yuewu always wrapped it for her to eat, Mu Hanzhi troubled Liu Yuewu to pack some, and gave it to Mu Xiaoxuan for his birthday, Liu Yuewu rarely saw her so happy and agreed.
That night, Mu Hanzhi took Mu Xiaoxuan to eat at Liu Yuewu's place, Mu Hanzhi told him that Xiaoxuan's father would also go tomorrow on his birthday, Liu Yuewu had never seen that man, Mu Hanzhi said that the man was here to take her and Xiaoxuan away.
Mu Hanzhi came to see Liu Yuewu because he wanted to say goodbye to him, Liu Yuewu didn't ask much, as long as she was doing well, not to mention Mu Xiaoxuan's birthday, the next day he took the prepared buns to Mu Hanzhi, and he also planned to meet the man Mu Hanzhi kept talking about, who knew that as soon as he walked downstairs, he saw Mu Hanzhi and Mu Xiaoxuan lying on the ground with blurred flesh and blood.
"Was Mu Hanzhi's mental state normal at that time? That's when she asked you to make buns. Yun Duruo asked calmly.
"I grew up with her, she was not happy to hide it from others, how could she hide it from me, the cold was really happy that day, and I could see that she was very excited, it should have something to do with that man, she has been waiting for that man." Liu Yuewu nodded affirmatively. "It was very depressing before the cold stopped, but she was completely normal that day."
"If a person who is planning to commit suicide will not think about anything else, let alone let others make what he likes to eat." I took a deep breath and looked at Yun Duruo. "Mu Hanzhi has no thoughts of suicide at all!"
"Even if Han Zhi really wants to commit suicide, she will definitely not push Xiaoxuan down." Liu Yuewu looked at us and said excitedly. "Hanzhi regards Xiaoxuan as her sustenance and reliance, she feels very sorry for the child, you won't understand, people who grew up in an orphanage, what they are looking forward to is a home and warmth, that man didn't give Hanzhi, Xiaoxuan gave it to her, for Hanzhi, Xiaoxuan is everything to her, she can give up everything for her, even her life, how can she push the child down."
Regarding why Mu Hanzhi jumped off the building and took the child with him, Yun Duruo and I have repeatedly deliberated before, perhaps because Mu Hanzhi felt that no one could take care of the child after he committed suicide, and he didn't want the child to be left alone in the world, so he chose to take the child to die together.
But the person who knows Mu Hanzhi best may be Liu Yuewu, according to him, Yun Duruo's previous assumptions between me and Yun Duruo were wrong, and it was even more impossible for Mu Hanzhi to pour sulfuric acid on Mu Xiaoxuan, who he cared about the most.
"The man...... It's the man who hasn't been seen all along. Han Yu interjected and asked curiously. Did Mu Hanzhi tell you who that man was? ”
This is also something that Yun Duruo and I are eager to know, Liu Yuewu shook his head lightly and told us that he was going to ask, but Mu Hanzhi was in a good mood that day, Liu Yuewu was afraid that the mention of her sadness would stimulate her, so he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, but seeing Mu Hanzhi's happy appearance, Liu Yuewu was also very relieved, no matter who this man was, as long as he could be good to Mu Hanzhi.
Yun Duruo and I sighed secretly in disappointment, I still don't know who this man is, according to Liu Yuewu, on Mu Xiaoxuan's birthday, that man will appear and take their mother and son away, but what it brings is death, in other words, on the day of Mu Xiaoxuan's death, that man appeared, and he is likely to be related to Mu Hanzhi's death.
Even Liu Yuewu, who was closest to Mu Hanzhi, didn't know anything about this man, and if he wanted to find out this person after twenty years, the difficulty can be imagined, not to mention that it was obvious that this man didn't want others to know about his existence, for a person who deliberately wanted to hide his identity, there must be an unknown secret behind him, and the more he was found in this way, the less likely it was to find him.
"I don't know who this man is, but Mu Hanzhi saw that my house was too messy that night, and said to help me clean up." Liu Yuewu suddenly remembered something and said to us. "Hanzhi rarely wears jewelry, but since I met that man, there is an extra ring on my hand, very ordinary, but she has not been willing to take it off and cherish it, presumably the ring was given by that man, when she helped me clean up the room that day, she also took it off purposely, I glanced at it, and there was a name on the ring."
"What's the name?" Yun Duruo and I asked in unison almost at the same time.
"Hui!"
"Hui?!" I looked at Liu Yuewu in surprise. "Just one word?" ――
Liu Yuewu nodded, there was only one Hui character on the ring, engraved on the inner circle of the ring, Mu Hanzhi wore it so cherished, and the words on it were mostly one of the words in the man's name.
Yun Duruo told us that she had looked through Mu Hanzhi's files many times, and she could almost recite it backwards, and she had investigated anyone who had anything to do with Mu Hanzhi, but none of them had the word Hui in their name, that is, the man who had a relationship with Mu Hanzhi had never appeared by Mu Hanzhi's side from beginning to end.
"I'm a man, maybe it's not good to say a lot of cold words in front of me." Liu Yuewu thought about it and said loudly. "There is another person who also has a good relationship with Han Zhi, and Han Zhi treats her as a relative, maybe Han Zhi will reveal some things to her."
"Who?" I hurriedly asked.
"It's the director of the orphanage, Su Fengmei."
