Chapter 087: Never Die (Part II)
After He Jiangyue said this, he sat down on the steps at the door, as if he was sure that Chen Ao would come out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After a while, the door creaked and opened softly. Out of it came a desolate figure.
He Jiangyue smiled lightly, handed over a pot of wine, and he had already opened another pot and poured a big sip.
"Persuade you to have a glass of wine and sell eternal sorrow with you. ”
He Jiangyue's slightly hoarse voice couldn't be dispersed for a long time in the empty courtyard.
Liquor into the throat is like a knife cut. The bitterness and stimulation lifted Chen Ao's spirits.
The two were relatively silent, sitting side by side, sipping their wines. The moon has reached mid-heaven, and the entire Liang City has fallen silent.
Chen Ao finally spoke: "I finally know now, why some people are addicted to wine country and can't extricate themselves......"
His tone seemed to be a little drunk. But his mind is very sober, and he seems to be unable to get drunk even if he wants to.
He Jiangyue chuckled, and his laughter was full of loneliness. "Wine is a good thing, a man's best friend," he said. He can make you forget all your worries. He will never be poor and love rich. If you have money, you can drink high-quality elixir and jade wine, and if you don't have money, you can also drink rice wine, sorghum wine, and burnt knives. ”
He paused, and then added, "However, this way of forgetting your troubles is temporary. Master Chen, do you remember what you said to me that day?"
Chen Ao waved his hand and smiled: "Hmph...... I can't believe you......."
"No!" He Jiangyue shook his head and said with a straight face, "My lord, the reason why I am willing to come back is because I believe that you can fulfill your promise, you can make the Liang family disappear from Liangcheng, and you can return Liangcheng to a clear world!"
Chen Ao was not moved at all, and said with a smile: "You believe me? But I don't believe in myself at all! He Jiangyue, I am not as great as you say." I'm just a coward, I didn't come to Liangcheng to be a good magistrate, just to help the people of Biqingzhai find a place to live, so as to pick up girls! I just hope that Liang Sizhi won't come to me for trouble!"
The two fell silent again, and did not speculate for more than half a sentence. Chen Ao gulped down the spirits. He didn't know how to drink, but suddenly became a hero who didn't get drunk for a thousand cups.
He Jiangyue said gloomily: "I heard about Wu Ping'er......"
He stopped talking, as if he didn't know what to say. He was busy working in the file room next to the county government every day, and every morning and evening, he would see Wu Ping'er entering and leaving the county office, and he had guessed many times about the relationship between Chen Ao and her.
But he believes that Chen Ao and Wu Ping'er are people, although the two are close, they will not do anything deviant. But he didn't expect that Wu Ping'er's death would bring such a big blow to Chen Ao.
Chen Ao's wine jug was already empty, he gently threw the empty wine jug out, sighed, and said slowly: "Ping'er is my first friend after coming to Liangcheng. I just did her a small favor, but she took it to heart and took care of me every day. Actually, I should have understood her intentions...... It's just that...... You may not believe it, but I used to try every possible way to pursue the favor of girls, but every time I failed. Unexpectedly, I really met a girl who was good to me, and I didn't cherish it at all......"
He Jiangyue saw Chen Ao's shoulders trembling slightly, and couldn't help but sigh.
Chen Ao continued: "How is Wu Ping'er, she is well-behaved and cute, and she is kind and diligent. However, she was so ordinary that I never felt her presence. I accepted her care every day with peace of mind, but I never said a word of thanks. I turned a blind eye to her affection and ignored it...... You say, isn't it true that the most precious things are often less cherished?"
"Today, when I heard the news of Wu Ping'er's disappearance, I had a huge shadow in my heart. I had a vague feeling that I might be losing her. It was only at this time that I remembered that there had always been such a little girl in the family. She talks to me when I'm bored, listens to me when I'm upset, and rejoices for me when I'm happy. However, I never thought about what she wanted, and I never cared about her feelings. Say, "What is the difference between me and beasts?"
He Jiangyue listened quietly, and sighed softly: "Abandon He Dao today, and cherish it at that time." will also take pity on the people in front of him. There are many people in the world who do not know blessings in the midst of blessings. When you lose it, you know that you cherish and regret it. ”
The dark night gave Chen Ao the best cover. In this night, he can release the sorrow in his heart to the fullest. The Yiren have passed away, and they can only be mourned with tears.
The tears are dry, and the wine is sober. The two lonely men in the courtyard did not feel sleepy at all. A white cloud has appeared on the horizon, heralding the coming of a blue sky and a white day.
He Jiangyue turned his head to look and saw that Chen Ao had already wiped the tears on his face. He patted Chen Ao on the shoulder and said, "Brother, people can't be resurrected after death, you ...... Let's mourn and change......"
Chen Ao said lightly: "Lao He, don't worry, I won't languish." After knowing Wu Ping'er for so many days, the most she said was that the sky is so blue, the water is so green, the wind is so light, the rain is so cold, and there are so many good things, why should I be unhappy? Every time I am in a bad mood, she will say this to me. I was already a damned person, and God gave me a chance to be born again, and I should cherish it even more. I've already missed one Wu Ping'er, and I can't miss any more......"
As the day dawned, Chen Ao's spirit also recovered little by little. A big stone in He Jiangyue's heart finally fell. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "Then Miss Ping'er, ...... she?"
Chen Ao smiled coldly: "Don't worry, I and this murderer will never die!"
He Jiangyue couldn't help but feel excited, and he didn't know if it was because of the cold dew in the early morning, or the outright chill revealed in Chen Ao's words. He glanced at Chen Ao again, as if he knew this person for the first time.
He Jiangyue had no doubt that Chen Ao was afraid that he would do anything in order to take revenge. He is no longer the person who is timid and afraid of things, and only knows how to protect himself!
He Jiangyue asked tentatively: "So, who is the murderer, do you have a clue?"
Chen Ao shook his head silently.
He Jiangyue said again: "Look...... Could it be Liang Sizhi?"
Chen Ao's eyes stared at He Jiangyue's eyes with burning eyes.
He Jiangyue said again: "Liang Sizhi covers the sky with one hand in Liangcheng. He is the only one who dares to kill people casually. I see, nine times out of ten, this matter has something to do with him!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Before Chen Ao could answer, a crisp voice had already sounded. Liang Xiaoya strode over angrily. He Jiangyue's words were not word-for-word, and they were all listened to by her.
Liang Sizhi is her eldest brother, who has played together since childhood, and although he is usually strict, he cares for Liang Xiaoya very much. How could Liang Xiaoya tolerate others slandering her eldest brother like this?
PS: At this point, it should be said that Chen Ao's personality and psychological state have undergone a qualitative change. If he is still as passable and cynical as he has been in the past, Chen Ao may always be a loser. From then on, Chen Ao is finally about to start his legendary story. Since then, the rivers and lakes are far away, the mountains and rivers are magnificent, and you can be free......
