Chapter 53: Going to the Appointment
Ah Mutou led the way, walked through the lobby, and when he reached the innermost, a small compartment was blocked by a curtain made of wooden beads, which was the so-called private room, although it was simple, but it was also interesting. It's just that Yin Tongming, who was sitting at the table, had a gloomy face, his eyes were blank, and he didn't have any Yaxing who was sitting idly drinking tea.
Amu lifted the bead curtain and asked Shen Yi to walk into the private room first, and then followed by himself. With a smile on his face, he diligently opened his teacup and poured hot tea before turning to leave.
Shen Yi sat opposite Yin Tongming and looked at him quietly.
Yin Tongming was also looking at Shen Yi, his former face of being good at maneuvering and flattering was gone, and he became cold and gloomy, as if he had completely changed his person, or was he the real him now?
His gaze gradually focused from the beginning of sloppiness, staring at Shen Yi for a long time, as if he was struggling to pull his thoughts back from afar to the present, before he recognized Shen Yi as a person, but he still closed his mouth and said nothing.
Shen Yi also held his breath, picked up the teacup by himself, and took a sip. The hot tea instantly warmed his cold body, and the nerves that had been tense relaxed a little. He saw that Yin Tongming was unusually and behaved strangely, so he knew that there must be a reason, so he simply went with the flow and watched the changes.
Seeing Shen Yi drinking tea, Yin Tongming unconsciously took a sip of the cup, but he didn't frown, he didn't have any taste and intoxication, but it seemed like he was taking a sip of bitter wine that had to be drunk but was difficult to swallow.
Shen Yi smiled slightly and asked, "Are you waiting for me?"
He was as calm as water, unhurried, and seemed to be really just meeting with friends for tea and catching up on a late summer afternoon.
But what old can be continued between them, and what tea can be tasted?
Yin Tongming was stunned for a moment, then suddenly grinned, his eyes became smart, and said, "Shen Daxia is really here." ”
The meaning of his words was complicated, as if Shen Yi's arrival was in his expectation, but he seemed to hope that Shen Yi would not come at all. Now that Shen Yi has come, he has no choice but to continue to do it, just like an arrow shot, there is no room to turn back.
Shen Yi took a sip of tea, nodded, and said, "I'm here." ”
Yin Tongming raised his face and replaced it with a flattering smile, as if he had changed back to the old person who was good at maneuvering in an instant, but his eyes were still cold, emitting a resolute and almost cruel light.
He said with a smile on his face: "Since Shen Daxia can find this place, he has naturally seen his family below?"
Shen Yi looked at him, not knowing what he wanted to do, so he only said lightly: "Yes, it was the old lady and the noble son who instructed me to come here." ”
Yin Tongming was still smiling, and his eyes suddenly became empty again, erasing all feelings, and there was neither love nor hate.
He said slowly: "On the night of the Yin family in East Lake, I accompanied my mother to the mountains to make incense and repay my wishes, but I was blocked by the rain and could not return home on time. I had no choice but to take my mother and practice medicine in the hope of finding the murderer for revenge, but unfortunately there was a vast sea of people, how could I find it? Two years passed in a blink of an eye, and I didn't even know whether the murderer was a man or a woman, and I even caused my newlywed wife to die in childbirth. ”
Shen Yi didn't have a smile on his face, and said coldly: "You took revenge in the end." ”
Yin Tongming grinned, a little hideous, a little lost and sad, and said: "Yes, I took revenge, although I can't kill the enemy, but the enemy has died because of me." My wish has been fulfilled, and I am no longer greedy for life, but the old mother and young son are the main reason why I have left this life. ”
Shen Yi stared at him with blazing eyes, as if he wanted to see through his true heart under the disguise of his smile, and said, "How do you know that the Zhubai family is the main culprit of the destruction of the sect back then?"
Yin Tongming looked at Shen Yi in a blink of an eye, and the smile on his face couldn't be said to be weird, "Skynet is magnificent, no matter how cunning the murderers are, no matter how well they hide them, I still know their true identities." After I knew the truth about the murderer, I immediately brought my mother and young children here to practice medicine in Yuwu Mountain, Nanjin County, endured for several years, secretly planned, and finally got revenge. ”
He stopped talking, with a very sad look in his eyes, and after a while, he continued: "Originally, I planned to kill the Zhubai family, just like they killed my Yin family back then, but later, I couldn't be ruthless." ”
Shen Yi looked at him and didn't speak.
Yin Tongming picked up the teacup with both hands and drank it all, as if he wanted to use the warm tea to soothe his uneasy conscience. The Yin family has practiced medicine for generations, hanging pots to save the world, only to save people, how can there be such a murderous son as him?
His hand holding the teacup trembled, and he could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "I have taken revenge, I have made my wish, but I am not happy." I felt like I was as cruel as the murderer who destroyed the Yin family back then, and my hands were stained with innocent blood. ”
"You bought the killers who killed Zhu Tianwei and Bai Qingfeng?" asked Shen Yi.
"Yes, money is such a good thing, as long as you have money, you can buy anything, and of course you can buy human lives. Yin Tongming's smile was full of sarcasm, "What's more, I still have a family heirloom poison, I can't imagine that the ancestors of my Yin family back then, but the medicine developed to preserve the corpse, is it actually an incurable poison, is this the will of God?
Shen Yi looked at him like a poor and hateful madman, "You said that you gave up killing the Zhu Bai family, why did you still poison Bai Qingyun? After killing Bai Qingyun, why did you pretend that she committed suicide and died?"
Yin Tongming's face turned pale, his eyes dodged, and he said vaguely: "Mrs. Zhu...... Naturally, I also died because of me. ”
Shen Yi asked, "Isn't Bai Qingyun what you intended to kill?"
A trace of panic flashed on Yin Tongming's face, and he raised his voice and said, "Is this important? They all died because of me, and I finally got justice for the Yin family's hundred lives, isn't that enough?"
Facing Shen Yi's gaze that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, Yin Tongming trembled even more, but said toughly: "Mrs. Zhu is both Zhu Tianwei's wife and Bai Qingfeng's sister-in-law, of course damn it." ”
"Since you think she deserves to die, what are you suffering from?" Shen Yi asked.
Yin Tongming shook violently and said loudly: "Why am I in pain? I am not in pain at all, and I have no regrets, they deserve to die...... It's just that...... I wish the child in Mrs. Madame's womb does not deserve to die. Yin Tongming's voice gradually weakened, and he covered his face with his hands as he spoke, as if he wanted to hide himself and forget all his sins.
"The child in the womb, you already knew that Bai Qingyun was pregnant, but it wasn't you who started the killing, and you only found out after Bai Qingyun's death, right? But you still made up the lie that you can kill people by overdose of Yuwu tea powder, trying to cover up the truth about Bai Qingyun's killing, why? Who is the real murderer of Bai Qingyun? Why do you want to shield the murderer?" Shen Yi asked one after another, without relaxation.
Yin Tongming put down his masked hands, looked at Shen Yi, but seemed to see nothing, and muttered: "My mother and son are more important than my life, I can do anything for them." He lowered his head and muttered: "I was wrong, I thought that as long as I took revenge, my life would be satisfied, and now I know that once I do something wrong, not only can I not turn back, but I may also lose the person I love the most." ”
Shen Yi was looking at him all the time, with censorship and confusion in his eyes, as if he couldn't figure out something, and as if there was a flash of inspiration in his heart, he asked, "Maybe you will lose the person you love?" Is someone threatening you with your mother and son?"
Yin Tongming raised his eyes and looked at Shen Yi, his face was pale, his eyes were blood-red, but there was no hatred in his eyes, only endless grief and pain, and said: "I killed everyone, Shen Daxia, I'm sorry." ”
Shen Yi suddenly had a strange feeling, although he had not yet seen the danger, he had an innate instinct to sense the approaching danger. This instinct doesn't know how many times he has been saved from life and death dangers, is it okay this time?
