Volume 1: The Rebellion of the Metropolis Chapter 21 (in the end of Volume 1)
The slanting sun hung in the air, and the shady streets were constantly hung with a light breeze. Outside the station in northern Yunnan, Xiao Yichen followed Chen Lang, a young man from the Chen family, to see off the three of them with Jiang Qingjiu.
Chen Langren is as his name, tall, handsome, and his voice is also extremely good, he said: "Three, the front is the North Yunnan Station, let's say goodbye, my sister and I will not send each other." “
Huang Yiping arched his hand and returned: "Thank you, Brother Chen." “
Chen Lang waved his hand, acting in a style full of literati temperament, but very similar to Huang Zimo, he smiled implicitly and generously, and said: "Let's go, the three of you say goodbye." “
Chen Lang turned around and walked forward, Xiao Yichen raised his head and looked at Jiang Qingjiu, and followed Chen Lang with a red cheek.
Huang Yiping smiled: "Brother Jiang, this little girl seems to be a little different from you. “
Jiang Qingjiu looked at Xiao Yichen's departing back, let out a long sigh, and said, "Let's go, go back to Ducheng." “
On the car back to Ducheng, Jiang Qingjiu looked at the scenery gliding outside, the wind kept blowing on his cheeks, and at that moment, a kind of sadness of suffering from gains and losses suddenly filled Jiang Qingjiu's mind, he put a pair of headphones in his ears, and the moment the familiar melody sounded, Jiang Qingjiu had goosebumps all over his body, and his eyes contained a little tears,
Meet, know, know, miss, helpless, parting...... It's like a person who has never seen another world, but he has never forgotten to pursue it in this life.
Huang Zimo looked at Jiang Qingjiu's lonely expression, and probably knew a little in his heart, from the news that the Huang family spies got that the woman named Chen Yi was likely to die a long time ago. Brother Jiang should know, she is just an ordinary person, she can't live for so long, and asking the Huang family to help find someone is just self-comforting.
......
The car did not drive into Ducheng, which was almost completely destroyed. It is said that it has become a complete ruin, and no living creatures have escaped from this rebellion, and this thousand-year-old city has become a dead city.
A few days ago, Ducheng was blockaded on the periphery, and although the relevant units tried their best to suppress this event that could cause a global sensation, the news was still like a bird with wings, and it had spread all over the world long before the blockade. Although there is no official explanation, there are videos and photos, and a large number of residents who have fled from the river, so the rumors have been confirmed. Some people say that aliens are coming, but some people say that the era of cultivating immortals has opened, and the tragedy of the Ducheng Rebellion has not caused much vigilance among people, but has become a topic of conversation before and after tea for the people who eat melons.
Jiang Qingjiu and the Huang family used the Tengyun Fog Talisman to rise into the air, looking down at Ducheng below: a fragmented Ducheng, without a complete building, the road was full of potholes, and the land in those places where the battle had been fought had been beaten and sunk several meters. The ordinary people who stayed behind to defend Ducheng, their scattered wreckage, the pools of blood piled up, have all been cleaned up, and some of the broken modern weapons have been taken away, and some may not have time to be taken away, and they are still in place.
What was once crowded with people is now deserted, and there is a dead silence all around, and all the buildings are pitch black, as if they have been baptized by artillery fire. Who would have thought that the country of abundance would be destroyed in such a senseless disaster.
......
"Report, UFOs were spotted in the sky. Someone said in a green tent on the ground.
Old man Li nodded, looking a little haggard, and asked, "Drone?"
The young man in formal clothes replied: "It's not clear, the flight altitude does not match, it should be to verify the truth of the chaos in Ducheng." ”
Old man Li frowned, his voice trembled a little, and said, "Find a way to make them retreat." ”
The man in the formal suit saluted and stepped out of the tent.
"This is a no-go zone now, please get out of here, or we'll kill you after three warnings. ”
"This is a forbidden ......"
Huang Yiping looked at Jiang Qingjiu and smiled awkwardly, and said, "Brother Jiang, it's time to leave." ”
Jiang Qingjiu nodded, it would be unwise to have unnecessary conflicts at this time.
Looking at the vanished green origin, the man in the suit always had a strange thought in his mind: there were three people on it, not some kind of flying machine.
......
In a large courtyard of the Huang family, Huang Chaodui and Huang Zhaoguang were sitting in the middle of the courtyard. On one side is a withered yellow ginkgo tree.
Jiang Qingjiu followed Huang Yiping and Huang Zimo to the compound.
Huang Chaodui opened his mouth and asked, "Arrived?"
Huang Yiping returned: "Yes, master, Brother Jiang is here." ”
"The younger generation Jiang Qingjiu has seen the two elders of the Huang family. Jiang Sake said with dissatisfaction.
Huang Chaodui waved his hand and said, "The three of you come and sit." ”
Jiang Qingjiu was deeply shocked when he saw Huang Chaoguang, who was placed in a wheelchair at this time, with gray hair draped over his shoulders, deeply sunken eye sockets, blood-red eyes, and half of his lost body. Although I saw it on the battlefield in Ducheng that day, this scene at this time is even more worrying.
Huang Chaowan also smiled sadly, and said, "Jiang Xiaoyou still remembers the enmity between you and me." ”
Jiang Qingjiu did not reply, it is a fact that the Huang family did participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Jiang family back then. The two families were so friendly back then, but the Huang family, who was most convinced by the Jiang family, stabbed the Jiang family in the back, which is really embarrassing.
Huang Chaodui looked at the withered yellow ginkgo tree and said, "You know, this leafy ginkgo tree looks like it is going to die, but it can live healthy for many years. The truth in front of you is not necessarily the real truth, what you see may only be seen by someone on purpose, and what happened back then was too sudden and complicated, far from being as simple as you imagined. ”
Looking at Jiang Qingjiu's expression, Huang Chaowan shook his head and said: "The old man said this not to expect you to change your mind with an old man's words, the old man just wants to explain that you can't figure out the reason for participating in the encirclement and suppression back then." The old man and the old lady of the Jiang family were also lifelong friends, and it was really the best choice for the old man and the entire Huang family to make such a choice. ”
Jiang Qingjiu was silent for a while, and asked coldly: "Since you said that you have a hard time, why can't you tell me, if you can't tell the only living Jiang family about the reason, how can this reason be convincing." ”
Huang Chaodui was stunned, let out a long sigh, waved his hand, and motioned for the three of them to retreat.
Huang Yiping said: "Brother Jiang, let's go." ”
Jiang Qingjiu said as he walked: "If you can tell me the truth about your so-called one day, you and I can talk about it." ”
After the three of them left, Huang Chaodu's eyes moistened, shook his head and sighed: "This person is old, and his heart is weak. ”
Seeing that Huang Chaoguang looked like he wanted to say something, Huang Chaowan asked, "Chaoguang, do you want to ask me why I didn't tell Jiang Qingjiu the truth?"
Huang Chaoguang nodded.
Huang Chaowan smiled a little helplessly, his body stiffened, and said: "Tell him what can he do to let the only Jiang family member go to death." Looking at Huang Chaoguang, who can't even speak now, Huang Chaowan said indifferently: "Chaoguang, the rebellion in the capital is not as simple as you and I imagined, before the force hidden behind this is not discovered, I will not tell the Jiang family the truth first, maybe I will find the real culprit of the Ducheng rebellion and take revenge, I still won't tell him the truth, let him hate our Huang family for the rest of his life." “
......
At the same time, in a small courtyard of the Huang family.
Huang Yiping was smoking the cigarette in his hand one by one, should he tell Brother Jiang about it?
Jiang Qingjiu looked at Huang Yiping, saw that his face was full of sadness, as if he had encountered something difficult, and walked over.
Huang Zimo saw Jiang Qingjiu coming over and said hello: "Brother Jiang is here." “
Jiang Sake returned: "What's wrong with you?"
Huang Zimo smiled reluctantly and returned: "It's nothing, Brother Jiang is here, but there is something wrong?"
Jiang Qingjiu showed a wistful look between his eyebrows, and said, "I'm leaving tomorrow." Before leaving, one is to say goodbye to the two of you, and the other is to ask you two if you have any news about her?"
When Huang Zimo heard this, he looked back at Huang Yiping with some embarrassment. Huang Yiping quickly finished the cigarette in his hand, snuffed it out with his index finger, and the cigarette butt was put into his jacket pocket, and sure enough, he still asked.
"Does Brother Jiang want me to tell the truth?"
Jiang Qingjiu was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Huang Yiping with some puzzlement, and the latter looked like he was hiding something from him.
"It doesn't hurt to be outspoken. “
Huang Yiping paused and said: "Not long after I returned to Huang's house, I got the news that the girl named Chen Yi last appeared in Xi'an. Later, Zimo and I went into the mountain behind the Huang family, and when we came out of the mountain, the spies came with news again. “
Speaking of this, Huang Yiping suddenly stopped, and his voice trembled a little.
Jiang Qingjiu asked eagerly, "Then, what's going on?" “
Huang Yiping lit another cigarette, the cigarette butt was red dots, and the rising fog made everything seem less real. After taking a puff of cigarette, Huang Yiping seemed to be settled and asked, "Brother Jiang, do you know that she is just an ordinary person?"
"Yes. Ginger sake returned truthfully.
"Then you know that ordinary people don't live as long as people like us. “
Jiang Qingjiu was stunned, and smiled expressionlessly: "You mean, she is dead." “
Huang Zimo interjected on the side: "Brother Jiang, her tomb has been found outside Xi'an. “
"How long did it take to die?"
Huang Yiping paused and returned: "I don't know." “
"What caused the death?"
Huang Yiping returned: "I don't know. “
Jiang Qingjiu laughed like crazy and said, "Then how can you tell that it is Chen Yi who died." “
Huang Zimo returned: "Brother Jiang, as you said, even if the woman named Chen Yi is still in the world, she is now just an old woman who is over the age of sixties." “
Jiang Qingjiu smiled and said, "What about the old woman, she is her, no matter what she looks like." “
"Have you ever thought that she might have been married and a parent? “
If this is the case, Jiang can see him from afar. “
