Chapter 1: Suicide

On the night of September, the thin breeze blew to take away the heat of the day, adding a little coolness, the faint moonlight sprinkled the night a little hazy, there is a small mountain village at the foot of the lonely mountain, and the windows of the tiled houses are full of yellow light. Most of the people living in the village are some elderly people and children who are still in school, at this moment some old people are sitting on bamboo stools outside the house enjoying the coolness brought by the mountain breeze, and some children who have gone to school in the house are burying their heads in writing homework, everything looks so peaceful and calm.

Woo. Woo. A few beams of white light shot from afar on the trail, with a piercing siren breaking the silence of this small mountain village, and the roaring motor sound from far and near, it was obvious that the owner of the car had stepped on the accelerator of the car. The old people who were still closing their eyes or chatting couldn't help but stand up, and the children also ran out of the house and looked out of the village, curious about what was going on, only to see a black car whizzing along the narrow village road, bringing up a large pile of dust. The old people grabbed the children around them for fear that they would have an accident on the road, "Really, how can there be a car passing through our village on this big night? An old man complained, "yes. . . Oh, yes.. ”

"Grandpa, I... I seem to see that it's Brother Chu Ming. A little girl said hesitantly to the old man beside her, "Yes, yes。。 I saw it too!" several sharp-eyed children also shouted, indicating that they had seen it too.

Hearing the children's words, the faces of several old people changed slightly, and just wanted to say something, a few police cars flashing red and blue lights also drove by, but after a while, the police cars drove back again, stopped in front of them, the car door opened, more than a dozen policemen with loaded guns walked out, the black guns reflected a faint black light under the light, and a middle-aged policeman led a few younger policemen to the villagers, and the old people nervously pulled the children around them behind them and protected them with their bodies, several restless people were very curious, peeking out from behind their grandfather or grandmother, and their eyes blinked at this group of sudden policemen.

The middle-aged policeman approached and smiled kindly at the old man in front of him, "Uncle and aunt, don't be nervous! We are here to carry out a mission, passing by your village, we didn't want to come down and disturb your rest, but the road ahead is getting narrower and narrower, and there are several forks in the road, we really have no choice but to ask you for help, who can you help us show us the way if you live here all the year round?"

After saying that, I saw that none of the old people replied, just stared at the guns in their hands with nervous expressions, and the middle-aged policeman turned his head to the subordinates behind him, "Put away the guns!"

Hearing this, most of the police silently put their guns into their gun bags, and only a few assertive ones were still embarrassed there, after all, the situation is unknown now, and the murderer is no trace at the moment, and they can't guarantee that the murderer will not attack the police in a desperate situation.

"What's the matter? What I said didn't work!" The middle-aged policeman saw that there were still a few people who didn't put away their guns, and his face sank with a hint of anger and shouted, "Director. This... But... A police officer behind him wanted to say something, "No, but! this is an order!!"

The villagers saw that the police officers had put away the guns in their hands, and the nervous look on their faces had also subsided a lot, and among the many villagers, an old man with a yellowish face came out, wearing a white yellow short sleeve that had been washed, and on the way out, the old people in the village looked at the old man and opened his mouth to say something, but they were all blocked by the old man's eyes.

The old man slowly walked up to the middle-aged policeman, bowed slightly to the policeman, and the middle-aged policeman hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "This chief, the little old man is the head of this village, I don't know what can be done for him?" We police officers are not familiar with the road in front of us, the old man has lived here for generations, and the road conditions are far more familiar than ours, so we hope that you can find a villager who is familiar with the road conditions to take us into the mountains to arrest the wanted criminal!" The middle-aged policeman said very politely, but his tone was indeed a bit tough. After listening to the words of the middle-aged policeman, the old village chief fell silent, as if thinking about something. "Director, we can't wait any longer! What if he escapes!" a police officer in the back was a little anxious, and couldn't help urging.

"Old man!!" The middle-aged policeman was a little anxious when he saw that the old man had not spoken for a long time! The old man's body trembled slightly, and he let out a long sigh, looking a little unwilling, "Sir, I... Can you see a picture of the wanted man?"

"Oh, okay, no problem!" Seeing this, the director didn't say much, reached out and took a wanted warrant with a photo from the police officer behind him and handed it to the old man, the old man didn't know why when he took this piece of paper, his whole body was trembling, as if this paper weighed as much as a thousand pounds, and when the old man saw the clear photo through the light of the police car, his whole body trembled again, and he gently touched the photo, his eyes were closed, and two lines of turbid tears flowed out of two deep furrows along his yellowed face.

"Mingwa! it's really you!!" After a long time, the old village chief opened his eyes and stared at the director and said heavily, "I know where he is! I'll take you there! You can rest assured! He won't be on the run!" The director originally knew that the old man must be very familiar with the suspect after seeing the old man's expression, and whether he could take them into the mountains to arrest people is still a question, but he didn't expect the old man to know where the suspect went, which is really unexpected.

The old man was very prestigious in the village, and after the old man said this, the people in the village who had some whispers were silent, and the children were also silently watching behind their grandparents.

The lonely mountain is not high, but it is very dangerous, the bustling trees are like towering monsters in the night, the trees growing in the lonely mountain are very strange, the trees in other places are lush at this time, only the leaves of the trees in this lonely mountain are scarce, the roots of the tree are not deep, it is said that as long as you find a place on the lonely mountain at will and dig it down, you can see piles of black soil, it is recorded in ancient books, this is the underworld soil is specially used to bury the dead, because the black soil is stored in the lonely mountain, the plants on the lonely mountain are scarce, the soil layer is very loose, walking on the road, maybe a careless you will encounter a landslide and roll down from the mountain。

The old village chief lives here all the year round, and he is very familiar with the lonely mountain, and he keeps in mind which places can go and which places are easy to collapse, after all, it is a lesson from generation to generation.

"Old man, tell me about Chu Ming?" Perhaps it was the old man's tears in front of him that caused a hint of curiosity from the director, and the director asked about the wanted criminal as he walked.

"He's 。。。。 He used to be the pride of our village!。。。。 Maybe it's letting go, or maybe it's the pride in the old man's heart, the old man said loudly, and there was a little light flashing in his eyes, which seemed to be no longer so turbid!

"Oh, proud, can you tell me more carefully?" the director was surprised to hear the old man's answer, "Chu Ming, this kid has been very naughty since he was a child。。。。。

The police officers behind him were all walking quietly, and the old man in front of him echoed in the mountains with a hint of pride, making people can't help but prick up their ears to listen to the wanted criminal in the old man's mouth.

。。。。。。

The wind rose, and the whining mountain wind blew to bring up a little dust from the lonely mountain, and drifted up with the wind. In front of an inconspicuous mound on the top of the mountain, a man with three-inch short hair knelt in front of the grave and gently touched the photo of the young woman on the tombstone, and the affection in his eyes became more and more intense.

"Cicada, I don't want to run anymore. I'm tired, I'm so tired, I'm so tired, I'm tired, So fast... Remembrance flashed in the man's eyes, and infinite tenderness and pain welled up。。。。。

Whew... The footsteps approached, and several white lights shone on the man, "Chu Ming, you have been arrested!" Hurry up and give up resistance with your head in your hands!" Several police officers saw Chu Ming and instantly took out their guns and shouted at Chu Ming in unison.

"Child!。。。。 You give up!。。。 The old man ignored the obstruction of the two police officers around him, took a few steps forward, his body trembled, and shouted in pain to Chu Ming, who was kneeling on the ground, and the two lines of old tears flowed down in unison.

Chu Ming, who had been silent before, trembled slightly when he heard the old man's voice, "Cicada, Uncle Fang treats me like a son, I want to say goodbye to him... ”

Chu Ming got up from the ground and walked slowly towards the old man, "Don't move! What do you want to do!!" A police officer behind the old man couldn't help but drink nervously when he saw Chu Ming coming, his fingers were already on the trigger, and suddenly a hand stopped his raised hand, and the police officer looked at the director with some puzzlement, but saw the director looking at Chu Ming who was walking and shook his head at him with a slight sigh.

Chu Ming walked to the old man who still had tears, Mu Ran's gaze swept over the police officers and finally focused on the old man, a trace of pain flashed, and he knelt down heavily in front of the old man, knocking his head three times in a row.

"Uncle Fang, Xiao Ming disappointed you, it's just that Xiao Ming wants to ask you for one thing at the end!" A hoarse voice sounded, Chu Ming raised his head and looked at the old man in front of him, the old man burst into tears, and did not answer, just stared at Chu Ming and nodded heavily in pain, his body shook and he almost couldn't help but fall.

"I hope that after I die, Uncle Fang, you can dig a pit in front of the cicada's grave and bury my body in it, so that I can accompany her forever!" After saying this, Chu Ming's numb face was vague, and without waiting for the old man to answer, he directly took out a pistol from his arms and pointed it at his temple and then closed his eyes silently, "Cicada, I'm here! "Bang. Gunshots rang out. Alarmed this lonely mountain, a group of crows... Croaking in the dark night。。。。。。 Whew... The mountain wind rose again, and everyone present was silent.
