The car drove all the way north, from the wealthy area of Xicheng to the shantytown.

It was a barren place that Sun Xiaobao had never been to.

He was even stunned, it was obviously the same city, the same sky, just two or three hours by car, how could this place be like this? There are no tall buildings, no flowers and trees on the roadside, no big shopping malls and no parks, and there are no concrete roads as you walk, replaced by dusty and potholed rural dirt roads.

Bumpy on such a road, Sun Xiaobao soon got motion sickness, and threw up several times in Lu Ye's arms, with an uncomfortable look on his face, "Where are you going to take me?" Why hasn't it arrived yet? ”

Lu Ye's gaze fell on the gray and yellow wilderness outside, and he refused to move back for a long time, such a gaze reminded him of when he was in Panshou Village, every glance on the high slope of the loess, his eyes seemed to be dirty.

It's very uncomfortable.

He touched Sun Xiaobao's head, "It's almost there." ”

"Where the hell are you going to take me?"

"You'll know when you go."

Lu Ye didn't explain, but after the speed of the car slowed down, Sun Xiaobao leaned on the window again and looked out.

The car passed by a very dilapidated mud house, the fence outside the earthen house was in tatters, and Sun Xiaobao saw an old man working in the yard with his body bent.

His waist was bent so badly, his back was about to break, and his face was almost perpendicular to the ground, just looking at it, Sun Xiaobao felt very uncomfortable.

Lu Ye's car stopped on a section of the road not far in front of the courtyard, Lu Ye's eyes did not leave the old man, Sun Xiaobao understood that Lu Ye was going to take him here, and it was this old man that he wanted him to see.

Just, why?

The car stopped for a long time, and Lu Ye didn't get out of the car, just sat and watched.

Sun Xiaobao was puzzled, "Why don't you get out of the car?" ”

"Just look in the car." Get out of the car, afraid that the things in the yard and the house will cause too much damage to Sun Xiaobao's young heart.

"Why look at him?" Sun Xiaobao frowned.

He has compassion, the elderly, the weak, he can sympathize, but his compassion is not overflowing, if he has to sympathize with every weak person, does he have the time and energy to do other things?

"I also found out some time ago, his daughter, who was brought to Panshou Village twenty years ago." Lu Ye simply told the old man what happened to him.

In fact, it is similar to the experience of Professor Wen's family, the two old men persevered in looking for their daughter for more than 20 years, sold all their family property, and they were exhausted.

The old man can still go to the fields to farm, but the old lady has been paralyzed in bed for a long time, and her body is covered with bedsores, which is very miserable.

Nan Tao found them before, gave them a compensation, and also bought a house for the two old people and arranged for someone to take care of them, but the old people had nothing to rely on, and put all their hopes on a distant nephew, the nephew was a gambler, lost all their money and the house, and the old man returned here after living in the new house for a few days.

Lu Ye knew that their lives had fallen into hell, and they had been in hell since the moment they lost their daughter, and all the help was in vain.

"Before they had an accident, they were a very ordinary couple who never did evil, and they shouldn't have ended up like this."

Then, Lu Ye took Sun Xiaobao to the cemetery of Professor Wen's family.

told Sun Xiaobao about Professor Wen's family.

"There is no name on this tombstone, it belongs to Professor Wen."

He took on a lot of human lives, and he asked them in his suicide note not to erect a monument for him, not to leave a name for him, and not to let the world mourn him, a criminal person.

His sins are unfounded.

His suffering was real.

After telling this story, the wind rose in the cemetery, and the chrysanthemums they brought last time had withered and dried up, and were scattered everywhere by the wind.

"The tragedy of these two families, I think it will be enough to answer your question."

It is best for Lu Ye to open his mouth in conclusion.

It is because of the existence of that dark organization that a group of people, whether for profit or selfishness, unscrupulously hurt those kind and ordinary people who have done nothing, and in the end, the people who are hurt may not know why until they die.

Professor Wen, for example, didn't know that his family's bad luck came from the cousin who always treated them with a spring breeze on them.

For example, Lu Ye, he didn't know that his life was destroyed by his father.

For example, many people, they bear the evil of life, and at the last moment they are still doubting, asking the heavens and the earth, what kind of evil people they were in their previous life, and they will encounter such retribution in this life.

Sun Xiaobao was silent.

He also knew.

Nodding his head, he looked at Lu Ye, "The few hours I have been with you seem to have more reason than my Sun Shenchuan who has lived with me for so many years." ”

Following Sun Shenchuan, he doesn't need to be reasonable, he just needs to copy Sun Shenchuan's means.

Lu Ye lit three sticks of incense and handed them to Sun Xiaobao, "Go and worship." ”

"Okay."

Sun Xiaobao walked to the three tombstones with incense and bowed deeply.

*

The Sun family.

Nan Tao pinched that thing all the way, not daring to let go of her hand, nor daring to show her strange appearance for Sun Shenchuan to see.

When she got home, she took advantage of the internal urgency and went straight to the bathroom.

Sitting on the toilet, she trembled and spread her hands.

The hand that was too clenched was slammed and hurt a little.

After spreading out her hand, Nan Tao noticed that she was pinching a small tube, and the tube was stuffed not with a note, but with a red thread stuffed full.

Nan Tao pulled out the red line, very strange what it was, and suddenly smelled a familiar smell on the red line.

It was the smell of perfume on Sun Xiaobao's body.

It is a very strange taste, a bit bitter of pomelo, but with a fruity sweetness.

Nan Tao smelled this fragrance, her eyes widened instantly, and she played with the red line again, remembering it.

This is the rope of the necklace she gave to Sun Xiaobao.

Didn't Sun Xiaobao fall into the sea? How could this rope be in that girl's hand......

Nan Tao thought of something and suddenly smiled.

Sun Xiaobao is still alive.

It was Lu Ye who saved him.

It must be yes, Lu Ye was afraid that she would be sad and guilty, so he found the girl and handed her a message.

That's great.

Although I don't know how Lu Ye did it, as long as Sun Xiaobao is still alive, it will be great.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.

Aunt Zhang asked Nan Tao outside if she was okay, Sun Shenchuan was going to take her to the dinner in the evening, and the person who dressed her up had arrived.

Nan Tao hurriedly put away the red rope and walked out.

Sun Shenchuan was downstairs, a group of people surrounded him to serve, Nan Tao walked down and asked what the dinner was.

"Zhong Wen was discharged from the hospital, and the Zhong family invited everyone to get together."

"Lu Ye will go too."
