In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the gunshot in the empty mountain wilderness echoed several times in the valley and lingered, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day tearing apart the silence.
Chu Di turned around, just like the slow motion in a movie. He saw the green smoke coming out of the dark gun in Ah Dao's hand. He saw Lin Xiangwan's body slowly falling down like a puppet with its strings pulled out. He
Seeing the blood bursting out from the heart on her chest in an instant, he saw...
He roared and ran over, taking three steps at a time, but he was too slow.
Blood flowed from her body, and as soon as it fell to the ground, it was sucked up by the frozen and dry earth, dyeing the yellow soil an unknown black purple.
"You...what are you doing?!" Chu Di shouted angrily and grabbed Ah Dao's collar.
Ah Dao threw the gun to the ground expressionlessly, "The old lady has told me not to keep this woman, as she will cause endless troubles. Brother Chu, long-term pain is not as good as short-term pain. Please forgive me."
Chu Di saw a hint of forbearing guilt in Ah Dao's eyes. He felt that a sharp blade had been cut from the sky and split him into two. He punched Ah Dao on the lower jaw.
Ah Dao was knocked out. Chu Di picked up the gun, turned on the safety, and put the gun barrel against Ah Dao's forehead, "How could you do this?! How does she usually treat you? Otherwise, you would do it now.
He died in Xiju! But you..."
"Sister Wan's kindness to me will always be remembered in my heart! I know all the kindness!! I will repay her in my next life as a cow and a horse! But I must do what the old lady told me!! I can't help it!!
Ah Dao roared back, with pain in his eyes, "Xiaoyuan is in the hands of the old lady. I haven't seen her for two months! She is about to give birth! The old lady said that if I don't obey, I won't even think about it in the future."
See Xiao Yuan and the child again!!"
Compared with the life and safety of his own relatives, what does the life and death of others mean? Ah Dao was kicked out of the house by his parents at a very young age because of his involvement in the underworld. In recent years, he has made a career and brought his wife back home.
To reunite with his relatives, Xiao Yuan and his children are his life. No matter how kind Lin Xiangwan is to him, how can he compare with them.
Chu Di was speechless. This man had been with him through life and death for so many years. He had blocked knives and guns for him without any regrets. Everyone had left. As long as he stayed, he stumbled and learned how to dye himself white from scratch.
The gun fell heavily to the ground, Chu Di waved his hand, "Go away... don't let me see you again."
Lin Xiangwan was hopeless. Anyone with a discerning eye would understand at a glance that even the immortal Daluo couldn't save her from the center of the shot. Chu Di knelt beside her and picked her up.
His heart no longer hurt, it was just a terrible hole. He could even hear the cold wind howling and whistling through the hole in his chest.
Lin Xiangwan used her last strength to hold on to his sleeve tightly. She wanted to say something to him, but when she opened her mouth, she choked out a mouthful of blood. He never knew that a person could have so much blood. Hers
The blood dyed his chest bright red, as if he was as seriously injured as she was. She raised her head with difficulty, and Chu Di leaned down.
She whispered a few words intermittently into his ear, and then she fell heavily.
The fingers that were loosened were never closed again.
He stared at her half-opened eyes, and after being stunned for a long time, he suddenly laughed loudly. The laughter pierced the overlap of the valley and rushed straight into the sky. It was obviously just the sorrow of a mortal, but it had
A thrilling power.
"Mr. Chu, don't cry in front of my grave, you will ruin my path to reincarnation."
She told him not to cry in front of her grave, as it would ruin her path to reincarnation.
*Because Chu Di and Shen Shijun had been entangled over the ownership of the body and the custody of Ye Nan, the date of Lin Xiangwan's cremation was postponed from the year before to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The Chu and Shen surnames have always been the focus of entertainment and economy in City H. If something scandalous happened to the families of these two surnames, it would be known throughout the city in just one night.
Although these two matters have been dealt with under pressure, the news finally came out. For a time, the city was full of uproar, and the streets, old, young, women and children were all talking about who the dead woman was. The men from the two families are fighting to the death, and who is the father of the child?
Shen Shijun has always been low-key because he is a doctor but not a politician. In addition, he studied abroad in his early years, so the newspapers and media did not pay particularly strong attention to him. However, the Chu family was not lucky enough to escape. Overnight, the Chu family's stock price plummeted. Nearly 10%, the house leaked during continuous rain, and the audit and IRS investigation had already made the company miserable. If this happened again, the Chu family was in mourning.
But as the head of the family, Chu Di couldn't care about this.
Putting all his work aside, he only concentrated on getting those two people with Shen Shijun.
He wants the dead. He also wants the living.
But Shen Shijun didn't want to give him any.
When the two were in a stalemate, Shen's father finally came forward. He brought a few pages of tissue paper and a small silver box and threw them in front of Chu Di.
"See for yourself, this is what Miss Lin told you before she passed away."
Chu Di first opened the jewelry box. There were two things in it, one was the ring he gave to Lin Xiangwan, and the other was the star shell pendant he gave her when they were at the beach that day.
She didn't want anything from the things he gave her. She was determined to cut herself off from him.
She sold herself all her life, and now that she is dead, she wants to leave cleanly.
"I think it's written very clearly on the paper. Ms. Lin hopes to dissolve her marriage to you after her death. She has already selected the cemetery and the tombstone has been engraved. No one else will be added except her name on it. surname. All her property will be left to her son. As for your request for Ye Nan’s custody rights, Mr. Chu, I’m sorry that Ye Nan’s custody rights are no longer owned by individuals. As part of the witness protection plan, Before he turns 18, he will be taken care of by someone assigned by the state, and your name is not on the visitation list."
"Nonsense!! I will never admit such a thing!! Ye Nan is my son! Why can't I take care of him?"
"Your son?" Shen Congrong chuckled and took out another piece of paper from his bag, "I didn't want to make this matter public, but you are stubborn and there is nothing you can do about it. You will always remember the test results of this DNA, right? ?This is from Mrs. Chu. It shows that Ye Nan is not your biological son, so you have no relationship with Ye Nan either by blood or legally. So, you can accept it. Is it done?”
Chu Di felt cold all over his body. He always thought that she punished him by giving him a knife. But now he understood that she did not want his life at all, she only wanted him to be sick.
The knife was quenched with poison. She let him live, living in pain. She made him clearly understand what it means to lose my love forever, what it means to be helpless and helpless.
She planned everything, maybe even her death was included in her plan.
The last step in this plan.
This was the woman he fancied, the woman he loved. Only now did he realize that he didn't understand her at all.
How could she be so cruel, so cruel!
*On the day of the funeral, it started to snow lightly since before dawn in the morning.
"I heard that clouds cover the moon on August 15th, and it will snow on the 15th day of the first lunar month. I wonder if it will snow on the 15th day of the first lunar month next year."
Who asked curiously, it is still lingering in his ears now, but the person can no longer be found. Her smiling face is still swaying in front of his eyes, but when he reaches out his hand, he can only catch a void.
Things are different and people are different.
The hearse followed the route that Ye Zhong once walked, heading towards the crematorium. Sitting next to the family members was an expressionless Shen Shijun.
Originally, the seat was supposed to be for Ye Kuan, but Ye Kuan was unable to come because he had something important to do.
But even if he was fine, he might not come. Because the day before the funeral, Ye Kuan received a letter. In the envelope was a text message, several photos and a plane ticket. The building in the photo showed that it was abroad.
Somewhere, the woman in the photo had a withered face, but she could still be recognized as Ye Rong.
Lin Xiangwan told Ye Kuan exactly what happened at that time. She said that she had only recently found out where Ye Rong was sold, but it was up to Ye Kuan to find the specific location.
As for what Ye Kuan thought of this matter and whether he would hate her, she didn't care.
She just wants peace of mind for herself.
Ye Rong didn't want to kill her that day. Now that she has suffered so much, she has paid off her debt. After all, she is the daughter of the Ye family. Even if she doesn't remember Lin Xiangwan's kindness, Lin Xiangwan still remembers it for several years.
She took her little girl to the street to play before. She dragged her hand and said to her, sister, I want to eat popsicles and big red fruit...
Moreover, Lin Xiangwan often thought, if she had died in Xisu that night, would she have been happier?
The snow was falling heavier and heavier, the hearse moved forward slowly, and passers-by walked hurriedly, trying to find a place to rest before the snowflakes completely covered the road.
Shen Shijun was sitting in the car, with the coffin beside him. He put his palms on the coffin, and the cold mahogany felt greasy and smooth to the touch.
He thought that no one knew who was in the hearse, but he knew.
No one knows how much he once liked and loved this girl, only he himself knows.
Shen Shijun still remembers the first time he saw her. In fact, he was not the one who discovered her, it was one of his good friends who discovered her.
During the university's orientation party, countless freshmen poured into the campus, and the bachelors who were seniors also took this opportunity to start hunting.
The friend saw Lin Xiangwan in the crowd at a glance. He squeezed Shen Shijun with his shoulder and said, "Look at that girl."
She was carrying a huge suitcase and standing in the crowd of people sending their children to school. She was wearing an inconspicuous light green dress. She was obviously a small person, but she gave people a sense of isolation from the world.
