Chapter 31 Dad's stewed fish is especially delicious
Life is still moving forward as before. But for Xie Yuan, life has become boring. He often sits in a daze alone in the office and smokes. His happiest time is with Yaoyao.
, looking at Yaoyao's innocent and lovely face, Xie Yuan's heart seemed to be filled with a warm sun, illuminating his body and his soul.
In the early spring of the next year, that is, the spring of 2020, it was very late one day. When he was taking a walk after eating, he came to the parking lot. It has become his habit to come here to see if the van is there.
Knowing why he was doing this, he didn't know whether he wanted to see the van or not. Just as he was about to leave while smoking, he suddenly saw Meng Yuanming walking towards him carrying a long bag.
Xie Yuan stood aside and watched Meng Yuanming get into the car and drive away. With this experience, Xie Yuan parked his car in the parking lot after get off work. He wrote down the time when Meng Yuanming went out that day, and this time every day
He would squat in the parking lot for a while, hoping to meet Meng Yuanming and drive out again. He felt that it would be much more convenient to solve the problem at night than during the day. The hard work paid off. After several months of follow-up and observation, Xie Yuan finally
I figured out Meng Yuanming’s travel patterns and also learned about his travel locations.
Meng Yuanming has a hobby and likes fishing at night. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday night, after the dumpling restaurant closes, he will drive out to fish. The fishing locations are also very fixed, basically near the intersection of Shengli Road on Jiangyou Road.
On the river viewing platform.
After figuring out Meng Yuanming's travel patterns, Xie Yuan began to prepare his own plan. He could not let Yaoyao's biological father share Tian Shan's life, and he could not leave Yaoyao's biological father to compete with him for Yaoyao in the future.
He wanted to get rid of this thorn in his side and his flesh. And he had to do it so seamlessly that Tian Shan and Yaoyao couldn't notice it, and it couldn't affect the rest of his life.
Xie Yuan has been to the river viewing platform on the river embankment many times, and he is quite satisfied with the location and surrounding environment. He has followed Meng Yuanming here many times at night, and has never met other people fishing. Here is
During the day, there are occasional fishermen, but not many. This section of the river embankment has not been developed on a large scale, and the roads on the river embankment are not good, so few cars come. Xie Yuan once drove up here.
, driving past the river embankment, you can’t see the river viewing platform from the car at all.
Xie Yuan thought of many ways to deal with Meng Yuanming.
The first thing he thought of was to get a dagger and insert it into his back from behind while he was not prepared. For this purpose, he bought a wilderness survival knife online. The 10-centimeter-long blade was extremely sharp, with serrations on the back and a handle.
It was made of wood and was very comfortable to hold. Later, he gave up this method. He felt that if he used the knife, he would bleed a lot, and it would splash on his body, making it difficult to clean up and exposing himself. Moreover, using the knife
As for the knife, he wasn't too sure whether he could accurately penetrate the opponent's heart.
He also thought that he could use a rope to strangle Meng Yuanming from behind. When fishing, you must face the river. If you use a rope to strangle the opponent's neck from behind, he can also be killed. This method will not cause bleeding, and
It was also easier to dispose of the murder weapon. But he thought that it would take a lot of effort. Meng Yuanming was younger than him, and his physical strength seemed to be much stronger than his own. Even if he strangled Meng Yuanming from behind, he had no idea whether he could kill him in one breath.
There was still no guarantee of strangulation. If the other party broke free and the two of them fought, he would have no chance of winning. So this method was also rejected by Xie Yuan.
Later, he thought that he could use an iron rod to hit Meng Yuanming's head from behind. If he hit the opponent's back of the head with an iron rod, even if he did not die immediately, the opponent would lose the ability to fight back. Moreover, this method is far away from the death.
It is far away, and even if there is bleeding, it is not easy to splash on himself. Xie Yuan saw the telescopic self-defense iron rod on the Internet, and he felt that it was not reliable. It was too light and could not have a striking effect. Moreover,
If you buy online, a record will be left. If you are found later, the evidence will be too obvious.
He thought of buying a steel pipe. However, the place that sells steel pipes cannot sell him a section. If he buys a whole pipe, how to shorten it himself is also a problem. This problem occurred when he passed by a waste collection station.
It was solved. Scrap collection stations are all opened at the junction of urban and rural areas. Some are in a yard, and some are just on the roadside with a fence made of colored steel plates. When Xie Yuan drove by that day, he saw the fence broken.
A rusty iron pipe stuck out from the gap. He stopped the car and pulled it with his hand, and the rusty iron pipe was pulled out. The iron pipe was about one meter long and 2-3 centimeters in diameter.
It was very easy to get up. He quickly threw the iron pipe into his trunk and drove away quickly.
Once the tools are ready, the next step is how to implement them. The difficulty lies in how to approach Meng Yuanming.
Although there is the sound of flowing water on the river at night, it is still relatively quiet on the river embankment. It is not easy to approach Meng Yuanming quietly from behind. There are more than a dozen steps from the river embankment to the river viewing platform.
The steps are covered with moss. You have to be very careful when walking down during the day, let alone without lighting at night. If you want to get close to Meng Yuanming who is fishing, you can only pretend to go fishing with fishing tools.
.
So Xie Yuan decided to buy fishing tools. Although he didn’t know much about fishing, the owner of the fishing gear store was an expert in fishing. He went to the fishing gear store and found a full set of tools. In addition to fishing rods, bait, fishhook, and fish
It also comes with a long bag. When Xie Yuan saw that his iron rod could fit in the bag, it saved him the trouble of hiding the iron rod.
Xie Yuan planned to take action that night.
June 15th was a Monday. During the weekend, Xie Yuan told Tian Shan that he would be on a business trip on Monday and would be back on Tuesday afternoon.
Xie Yuan drove to the train station early that morning. After parking his car in the parking lot of the train station, he took a taxi to the company. After having lunch with his colleagues at noon, he asked the company's driver Xiao Li to take him to the train station.
.
He bought a high-speed train ticket to Beijiang City. Beijiang City is more than 200 kilometers away from Zhongjiang City. The high-speed train will arrive in one hour. After leaving the station, he opened a room in a hotel in the city, checked in, and visited a client.
After coming out of the client's company, he immediately took a taxi to the highway intersection, where there were many private cars going back to Zhongjiang City. After bargaining, he paid 100 yuan in cash to a private car owner. He showed up again in Zhongjiang City at 8 p.m.
train station parking lot.
Seeing that it was still early, Xie Yuan wanted to sleep in the car for a while to recuperate for tonight's actions. He put the driver's seat at a comfortable angle, opened the window a little and closed his eyes.
Although his eyes were closed, he couldn't sleep. He remembered the first time he met Tian Shan, and how Yaoyao looked when she was just born. He remembered sliding down the slide with his daughter Yaoyao, and the feeling of Tian Shan nestling against his chest.
.He felt that as long as he did what he did tonight, everything would go back to the way it was before.
After that, he remembered Meng Yuanming's face wearing a chef's hat, and the way Meng Yuanming held Tian Shan's hand in the underground garage. Hatred slowly gathered in his heart, and the blood in his body began to flow rapidly.
He sat up straight, found the prepared bread and water from the car, and ate them hungrily.
Since he knew the driving route in advance, Xie Yuan was now familiar with following Meng Yuanming. Seeing Meng Yuanming driving the van into a path in the woods, Xie Yuan slowly parked the car on the side of the road.
Five minutes later, the lights in the woods went out. After another ten minutes, Xie Yuan drove his car into the woods. About ten meters away from the van, he turned the car around so that he could leave soon.
Xie Yuan opened the trunk, put on his gloves, and first took a look at the long fishing gear bag. The rusty iron rod lay safely inside. He zipped up the zipper, lifted the bag, closed the trunk, and locked it.
Take the car and walk towards the river embankment.
He felt that the fishing gear bag he was carrying was very heavy, which caused his center of gravity to become unstable when he carried it on the river embankment. The fishing gear bag kept switching between his left and right hands. The river embankment in June should not be very heavy.
It was hot, but he started to sweat. His shirt was already wet, and it stuck to his back, making him feel particularly uncomfortable.
It usually takes less than a minute to walk to the river embankment, but this time he couldn't remember how many minutes he had walked. It was a sunny day today, but it was almost the end of the lunar calendar, and the moon in the sky had only a thin curve, and he could barely see his feet.
As he approached the top of the river embankment, Xie Yuan felt exhausted. He stopped and took a deep breath. The wind from the river blew over the river embankment, which relieved Xie Yuan's body a little.
Finally, he reached the river embankment and walked a few dozen meters further to reach the steps to the river viewing platform. Xie Yuan took a deep breath and transferred the fishing gear bag to his left hand. He kept cheering himself up, be calm! Be calm.
!Don’t be afraid, don’t expose your flaws. Solve this matter today, and you won’t have any worries in the future.
At this moment, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang. On the quiet river embankment, the cell phone's ringtone rang suddenly, startling Xie Yuan. He quickly pressed the volume button on the cell phone through his pants, and the ringtone
Stopped abruptly.
He calmed down and took out his mobile phone from his pocket. It was Tian Shan calling. He quickly took the mobile phone and walked a few steps in the opposite direction of the river viewing platform. He held the fishing gear bag in his left hand and answered the phone with his right hand.
"Hello." Tian Shan's gentle voice came from the receiver.
"Hey, Shanshan." Xie Yuan agreed subconsciously, but his voice became muffled due to nervousness and not speaking for a long time.
"What's wrong with your throat?" Tian Shan asked with concern.
"It's okay, nothing happened." Xie Yuan cleared his throat and said.
"Did things go smoothly?" Tian Shan asked about the business trip.
"It went well, it's not a big deal." Xie Yuan replied.
"What time will you be back tomorrow?" Tian Shan asked.
"In the afternoon, I'll meet a client in the morning." Xie Yuan replied.
"Still not asleep?" Tian Shan asked.
"Get ready to go to bed now, good night." Xie Yuan wanted to end the call as soon as possible.
"Well, by the way, Yaoyao asked you before going to bed." Tian Shan said again.
"What did she ask?" Xie Yuan's heart suddenly warmed up when he heard his daughter's name.
"Ask where dad went? Why didn't dad tell her in advance?" Tian Shan told Xie Yuan.
"Oh, yes, I forgot to tell Yaoyao about the business trip." In fact, Xie Yuan did not want to tell Yaoyao. He felt that lying in front of Yaoyao would be embarrassing, so he only told Tian Shan about the business trip.
"Okay, go to bed early, good night." Tian Shan said.
"What else did she say?" Xie Yuan asked again.
"He said he wanted to eat the fish stewed by dad. The fish stewed by dad is very delicious." Tian Shan told Xie Yuan.
"Okay, I'll buy fish when I go back tomorrow and stew fish for dinner tonight." Xie Yuan said happily.
"Well, be careful on the road." Tian Shan warned.
"Okay, don't worry." Xie Yuan said.
"Good night!"
"Good night!"
Xie Yuan hung up the phone. The cold wind from the river blew up and dried the sweat on his back. The conversation with his wife and his daughter's desire to eat his father's fish stew brought him back to reality. At this moment, he forgot
Realizing his purpose of coming to the river embankment, he excitedly turned around and walked back, only to find that he was still carrying a fishing gear bag in his hand.
Xie Yuan stood blankly on the river embankment. Meng Yuanming! There was also Meng Yuanming on the river viewing platform below the river embankment. He remembered the purpose of coming here today, looked down at the fishing gear bag in his left hand, and then looked at
He picked up the mobile phone in his right hand. A thought suddenly popped into his mind. Could it be that he had changed?
Tian Shan's voice on the phone was still so gentle and considerate, and her daughter was still pestering her. The man fishing on the river viewing platform might have been fishing there ten years ago. But I, who had never been to this place,
Recently, I have been coming here one after another, and tonight I was carrying a fishing gear bag.
If I hadn't encountered that accident, how happy I would be now. If I hadn't concealed my illness, what would my life be like today? What would it be like without Meng Yuanming? I can't have children, I can't
Those who have children of their own are not even worthy of getting married. The merciful God did not care about my fault and still sent the lovely Yaoyao to me. Am I going to ruin my life with my own hands?
Thinking of this, Xie Yuan felt relaxed all over. He put his mobile phone in his pocket, transferred the fishing gear bag to his right hand, and threw the fishing gear bag towards the rushing river under the embankment. Then he took off his gloves and threw them in the grass.
middle.
Xie Yuan took out his mobile phone from his pocket, used the flashlight function to shine on the road under his feet, and returned to his car in less than a minute. Just when he opened the door and wanted to get in, he suddenly wanted to look at the van.
At first glance, he walked around the van in a relaxed mood, as if he was doing a farewell ceremony. Thinking that he might never follow this van again in the future, he actually felt empty in his heart. He subconsciously pulled the
He opened the car door, smiled bitterly, and then drove away from the river embankment.
