Three years later.

"Yu Tianyuan, Kim Lucas, both of you will be promoted to major from today onwards. Work hard in the future. ”

Two sunny, energetic teenagers, standing straight inside a pile of adults, look particularly eye-catching.

"Salute"

The evening sunset, always so gentle, cast the afterglow and spread it on the graveyard of Deguz. The cemetery is surrounded by shade, and each tree exudes a strong smell of time, washing away the restlessness and strangeness that there was in the cemetery, and the oily green grass sticks to the sacred or sinful souls, growing happily in this quiet and peaceful soil without any distractions.

Holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand, Joyce bent down and slowly placed it in front of Brada's monument, sighing

"It's been three years in the blink of an eye. ”

Joyce turned to the side slightly, one hand against the ground, and then sat down, and took out a bottle of wine from his backpack, "Look at Degus now," as if talking to the late Brada, Joyce held up the wine glass and sprinkled it little by little on the stone steps in front of the monument, "It's a pity that you can't see it." ”

The slight touch of the wine on the smooth gray stone slab leaves a moving deep line, as if to awaken the sleeping soul.

"I'll tell you about it. Joyce drank wine and told the story of the year. Sometimes he laughs so much that tears are squeezed out, and sometimes he shakes his wine glass in anger. I don't know how long this has lasted, maybe it's time that is reluctant to break this tender picture.

After the story was told, the mayor's wine was almost drunk, and the evening breeze blew, and his head began to get a little drunk.

"Why do you say that when people drink wine, they are reminded of the past?" Joyce put the glass to his lips and took a sip, squinting at the distant sky. "You may not remember, when I was young, when I was a poor boy, life was really not easy, and all the tuition money collected by the part-time job was extorted by Penelope's bastard group. I didn't admit defeat, why let them be like this, so I went to know a lot of people who had the same experience, most of them had a deep holiday with Penelope, but every time I stood up bravely and told them, "We're going to resist, and when I go to court, no one will gnaw, they're cowardly! Joyce smiled, as if to herself, as if to Brada, "in the end, even I began to despair, and I didn't go to school, but you gave me hope, and dared to sue Penelope, and suddenly became a celebrity for our Degus, and although everyone thinks you are crazy, I have never thought so, those cowards only move their mouths, but you are the only one who dares to act." ”

Joyce poured another glass. A little heat in the corners of the eyes.

Yes, although the lawsuit was unsuccessful for ten years, it gave Joyce great encouragement and renewed confidence in life, and it only took him half a year, three years of high school, and finally got into the best local university with excellent grades. Maybe even Brada didn't realize that his actions would give this young man such a big encouragement.

Joyce paused and stared at the picture on the tombstone, "Think about the mess you threw at me." ”

"Mayor, you're here again"

Joyce turned her head and saw that it was Pitt and Mrs. Brada.

Pete helped Mrs. Brada to put the new flowers. After closing her eyes and saluting, she turned her face to look at Mrs. Brada, and found that Madame was still praying with her eyes closed, so peaceful, the strands of silver hair on the top of her head for some reason, but they brought back her memories of when she was arrested three years ago.

At that time, as soon as Pete was dragged into the car, he was immediately blindfolded by a black cloth. Before I could figure out what was going on, a chill rushed over me, and I felt a sharp pain in the back of my neck, and I didn't know anything. I don't know how long it took, when he woke up, he immediately sat up straight, because he couldn't see anything, so he rubbed around in a panic, and his fingertips felt water from time to time, only to realize that he had been brought to a rather damp place. It seems that you can still faintly hear people talking.

"He can't stay" is a man's voice, although the voice is very small, but the murderous aura in the voice can't be ignored.

Then he heard the sound of loading, and Pete instinctively tried his best to move backwards, and his body kept writhing, trying to break free of the rope, but the rope was so tight that he seemed to feel the rope embedded in his flesh. I thought about tying a hemp rope and hanging it, but I found that it was difficult to breathe at this time.

"Bang" a gunshot, his heart tightened, and Pete instinctively shrank his body.

Then I heard the sound of scuffling. A woman's voice could be heard roaring, "If you kill him, you won't get a penny." ”

After a long time, a sudden beam of light pierced the eyes, and the blindfold that had been tied for a long time was removed.

Pete blinked, and then slowly saw the face of an old woman with sallow skin in front of him.

"The kid was scared. ”

Pete looked at the man in front of him in horror and didn't dare to speak.

"You, the shoulder"

Mrs. Brada looked over her shoulder, "It doesn't matter, it's just a scrape." ”

Then Mrs. Brada's phone rang, and after answering. Madame sat down slowly, beside Pete, and talked with Pete, at first Pete did not dare to speak, it was always Madame Brada who spoke, but gradually, I don't know why, it may be the intimacy that Madame Brada herself has, maybe it is the wrinkles of the years, or the weather-beaten skin? Madame Brada is very gentle, whether it is in the eyes or in the words, how long has it been since Pete has not felt this way?

"Pete, can I ask you, one thing?"

Pete turned his head sideways to look at Madame.

"Can you take your friends with you and leave Degus forever?" said Madame, as if she had done something bad. The voice began to suffocate, "I still have some money here, you see, because of the lawsuit with Penelope, the family basically has no money, but this money, you should have enough." Madame Brada panicked and pulled some money out of her bosom.

"Are you afraid that we will tell you about your husband?"

Madame Brada was like a frightened bird.

"My husband has not had much of an outstanding skill in his life, but at least he is a duty," Lady Brada immediately continued, "Ah, though I know it's too much, if it really doesn't work."

"Actually, you could have killed me. Isn't there none?"

"Actually, actually, if you don't say it outside"

"I'm not a local, and I can't stay here, and if I stay here, you and the mayor will be very bothered. It's just," Pete paused, "my friends, how do you get them..."

At this moment Mrs. Brada's phone rang again. "Wait a minute."

Mrs. Brada took it.

"The mayor said that it was handed over to him"

Pete only then realized that Madame's eyes had long since turned red, and perhaps he had not noticed the previous horror. Pete looked into Mrs. Brada's eyes, and there was a trace of sadness and admiration in his heart.

And at this time, the thoughts of the mayor sitting in front of the tombstone, with the arrival of Pete and them, returned to the night before they kidnapped Tianyuan.

The moonlight outside the window wet the mayor's snow-white shirt, the mayor paced back and forth in small steps in the room, and finally sat down, carefully took out a gun from the drawer at the head of the bed, it may have been useless for a long time, the hand just reached up, there was still a little ice, the fingers retracted, the hand hung in the air for a long time, the mayor pursed his lips, and finally slowly took out the gun, rested on his lap, stared at it for a long time, and then wiped it lightly with his cuffs. "If those kids refuse to leave," the mayor looked up at the window, and the night sky seemed to see the man who had never conceded defeat in the courtroom, he was confident, he was brave, and he dared to take responsibility.

"I never thought that the first time I killed someone, it would be for you," the mayor smiled bitterly, "Why just don't you listen to persuasion, or the same as before"

"Drip", a tear fell on the floor, smashing the moonlight on the floor, and then slowly spread it on the ground by her, but it was brighter than before.

"Ahh

The house was empty

In the end, I even cried

There was no sound.
