Chapter 1 1.3 Visitors (3)

Shen Tong found that Li Rui didn't need him at this moment, and Meiya couldn't leave Mrs. Lin's side, he suddenly wanted to go alone, he whispered in Li Rui's ear, "I'll go find something to eat." Then he walked to the row of food trucks. In fact, his mouth was chewing for some time this morning, so he didn't feel hungry. He just wanted to leave the environment with Mei Ya and Li Rui and let himself empty for a while.

Shen Tong unconsciously swept his gaze over the crowd in the square, he was looking for the girl named Zheng Qiao, but he didn't really know why he was doing this, he just instinctively let his eyes scan at random.

He saw some middle-aged men with sparse hair holding their fat bodies, trying to talk to some young girls with beautiful appearances, and close their protruding bellies to their breasts. The smiles on each other's faces made it impossible to tell that it was a funeral. He saw some gorgeously dressed ladies, holding goblets and dancing with their eyebrows, gesturing and chatting about topics that made them laugh collectively. Occasionally, a look of disdain was given to the girls who passed by them, or a malicious expression was given to the young waiters who passed by them. Some people nodded their heads, others were arrogant. He saw that among these people, there were very few people with sad expressions, and there were very few people who really remembered the deceased.

Shen Tong is not the exception, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. He just wanted to find the soul that was not polluted by all this, and made him feel at ease and beautiful.

Zheng Ju sat quietly with some sadness, and Zheng Qiao sat beside her father obediently. Shen Tong watched from afar, and this picture made him feel peaceful and beautiful. Until he saw Zheng Qiao's expression suddenly change, first surprised, then a burst of excitement and joy, she grabbed Zheng Ju's arm and pointed at someone in front of her. Zheng Ju stood up first, but when he confirmed who the person was, he sat back angrily. Zheng Qiao was still pulling his arm, and she also stood up and wanted to find that person, until Zheng Ju said something to her sternly, Zheng Qiao's eyes changed from excitement to reluctance and helplessness.

Shen Tong looked in the direction that Zheng Qiao had pointed out just now, and his gaze finally stayed on a woman in a black dress. She wore the same veil hat as Mrs. Lin, the dark red hat looked like congealed blood, and her black veil was finer than Madame Lin's. And she stood there, staring motionlessly at the huge black-and-white portrait of the deceased erected by the podium. The noise and noise around her has nothing to do with her. The veil covered her delicate face, and Shen Tong couldn't see her expression clearly. This made Shen Tong very curious, and he wanted to step forward to take a closer look, but was interrupted by Li Zhi, who didn't know when he appeared beside him.

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Rui's important guest has arrived, and he hopes that you can receive it with him."

"Okay."

On the way to the meeting room with Li Zhi, Shen Tong wanted to find the woman wearing the red veil hat again, but she seemed to have evaporated, disappearing into the crowd and the mist that still remained on the mountain.

Li Rui was waiting for Shen Tong on the first floor of the hall, and when he arrived with Li Zhi, he saw that Li Rui's face was a little worried. Under the guidance of Li Zhi, the two of them walked to the reception room upstairs, and Shen Tong felt very interesting in his heart, because it was originally Li Rui and himself who received guests with a purpose like a Chinese medicine doctor who opened the door to sit for a consultation, but now he and Li Rui were like naughty students who were brought into the principal's office.

Li Zhi opened the door, and a man stood on the balcony with his back to them overlooking the square, he put his hand on the railing, his back was broad and resolute. Hearing that the door was opened, he naturally turned around, his face dignified and serious. Neither sadness nor the smile that should be worn when they first met, he was like an elder looking at a younger person in mourning clothes, and there was some indescribable kindness in pity. This does not make people feel warm, but makes people feel hairy in their hearts.

He walked over to Shen Tong and Li Rui, his eyes first glanced at Shen Tong, and then fell on Li Rui's eyes. He shook Li Rui's hand without hesitation. He naturally seemed to be the master of this room. This feeling is not the kind of self-familiar annoyance, but the control that people can't refuse, Shen Tong also felt for the first time that he didn't dare to look at a person, because his heart seemed to be pierced by this person at a glance.

"Condolences and change." He said to Li Rui, "I see your father's legacy from you, this is not the first time I have seen you, but you may not remember me, Zhou Yan." ”

Li Rui, who heard Zhou Yan's words, went from the backbone to the back of his head, as if he had been struck by lightning, numb from his scalp to his heels.

"You...... Why don't I remember......" Li Rui's voice was already trembling, Shen Tong sensed that Li Rui was wrong, and stepped forward to hold one of his arms.

"You really have the same eyes as Wanjun, very clear and good-looking." He continued, Li Rui's eyes were staring at him, and his eyes were like black holes devouring Li Rui's light, making Li Rui unconsciously lean back.

"When you were younger, I used to visit your father, and I couldn't tell you apart from your sister at that time, you looked too alike. Your mother always told me that Hikohiko was a man who would stand up to the sky like his father. Able to protect everyone and take care of everyone. But he didn't see you as an adult, just like your sister. ”

The chill from his backbone had frozen Li Rui's brain, and he felt that his brain was cold, as if he was soaking in the cold lake that day, with his lifeless sister floating beside him, his face was blue and pale. He saw his father struggling to unbuckle his seatbelt in the front seat, but he couldn't get out of the driver's seat until he slowly lost his movement and slowly floated up like his sister. The water was bitterly cold, and he felt his legs sink into the ice, first with intense cramps, then numbness, and then dragged his body like two heavy stones towards the bottom of the lake. The water of the lake presses on the lungs, and holding your breath is an extravagant hope. He felt his life leaving him visibly, he felt her sister drift to his side, lifeless collision and departure, collision and departure.

In Shen Tong's eyes, Li Rui's sweat flowed down from his sideburns, and large beads of sweat dripped on the collar of his shirt. His body stiffened like a stone, and his expression seemed to be in utter fear. The corners of his mouth twitched, and his pupils were almost as large as pupils. If it weren't for the hand being tightly held by the person in front of him, Shen Tong believed that Li Rui would definitely fall straight back.

Although Shen Tong didn't understand what this person said, he was still helping Li Rui's sluggishness, and he took over the conversation that had been stagnant for a long time by Li Rui's sluggishness, and said, "Rui may have gotten up too early, didn't care about eating, has some low blood sugar, and is not feeling well." Shen Tong answered the phone, and at the same time pinched Li Rui's arm, Shen Tong's fingers turned white, but Li Rui did not react at all.

Li Rui's eyes were already covered by blood, and his throat seemed to be sticky to something, unable to make a sound, and he couldn't feel any touch on his body. He felt that he had sunk to the bottom of that lake, that he was dead. The only feeling I have is that I am filled with a sense of fear all over my body.

That person seemed to have achieved his goal, and as if he had lost interest in Li Rui, he let go of his hand, looked away, glanced at Li Zhi behind Li Rui, and then walked to the sofa easily and naturally, and then sat down comfortably, crossing his legs.

Li Zhi immediately supported Li Rui from behind, and Li Rui fell softly into Li Zhi's arms like a piece of paper blown by the wind. Before Shen Tong realized it, two people had already grabbed Li Rui from behind and carried him out of the room. When Li Zhi exited the room, he closed the door of the room, and only that person and Shen Tong were left in the living room.
