As soon as this question appeared, it was chaotic and congested in my thinking. Not only did Jin Ping Mei judge it before, but according to general common sense, even the person who hides the deepest will appear when everything is about to come to an end. But
Until now, no one had noticed any sign that Zheng Lifu was about to appear.
While I was thinking about it, our team had left the cave. The situation outside was still a bit chaotic, but after some adjustments, it was stabilized. Where Zheng Lifu is, this is something that no one knows.
There is nothing we can do, but Uncle Lai is definitely near Bawangling and we must find him.
The few of us with good legs and feet started to search. The terrain of Bawangling was somewhat limited, and there was only one way out of the mountain. So as long as we speeded up, we could probably block the people who were about to escape. When we set out to search, I
I felt nervous and a little excited because the man with the beard was walking with me and Zhao Yingjun.
At this moment, he is more like an ordinary person, a plain, ordinary, unknown ordinary person. But looking at his face like a knife and an axe, and the scar that has been healed for who knows how long, you can see that he is a person with a story.
people.
"You are my brother's friend." Shortly after setting off, the bearded man suddenly turned to me and said, "Thank you for taking care of him."
I was like a pilgrim who came to the Holy Land for the first time. What I wanted to say was blocked in my heart. My expression could not hide the changes in my heart. Although he looked ordinary, I knew that he was definitely not ordinary.
"His name is Zheng Tong." Zhao Yingjun turned around and grinned at the bearded man: "I have been fighting side by side with Comrade Xiaotian for a long time."
The bearded man looked at me, nodded, and said, "My name is Xiang Tengxiao."
"Xiang Tengxiao..."
This name is deeply engraved in my heart, and it may never be erased by anything.
"Xiao Xiang." Zhao Yingjun interrupted my thoughts and said to the person named Xiang Tengxiao: "Do you want to go see her now?"
I didn’t know who Zhao Yingjun was talking about. At that time, I couldn’t even tell whether this “she” was a boy or a girl.
Xiang Tengxiao's eyes like stars in the sky immediately turned, looking at the barren mountains outside the Eight Kings Ridge. As his eyes moved, the indifference was filled with an indescribable emotion.
It may be attachment, pity, distress, care, love, all kinds of things combined together to form the gaze.
"No, she will be fine. We will wait until everything is over here."
I couldn't understand what they were talking about, and it was inconvenient to interrupt. After saying this, neither of them spoke anymore. Zhao Yingjun must have gotten the news from Jin Pingmei's men, and then ran all the way to Bawangling.
, this kind of people have strong innate observation ability. We shuttle through the mountains and take a very difficult path, which can save a lot of time and go around to the mountain pass.
When we were about to approach the mountain pass, we found a small group of people, about six or seven, who came from the depths of Bawangling and hurried to the mountain pass. We quickly took a shortcut and sped up to follow them.
We encountered each other at Yamaguchi.
There was no suspense at all. Under the hands of Xiang Tengxiao and Zhao Yingjun, no one could escape. In the brief moment when they fought, I saw Pang Bin among the crowd.
Pang Bin told me that Uncle Lai was indeed in Bawangling. He wanted to wait for Lao Maozi to completely control the situation before showing up. However, the situation suddenly changed and Uncle Lai decided to withdraw decisively. He is used to being cautious, especially in this situation.
We were very careful at every turn and let people like Pang Bin explore the way first.
"He's right behind, not too far away."
When we were about to go back to search for Uncle Lai, I stopped and turned around to look at Pang Bin. This was a chess piece arranged by Zheng Lifu himself. I thought that he and Zheng Lifu must have had continuous secret contact.
"I want to ask you something." I thought for a while and said, "Have you met my dad?"
"No." Pang Bin shook his head. Like Kuang Haige, he is a person who sticks to his mission until the end, so I believe his words. Zheng Lifu has not had any contact with Pang Bin for a long time.
When I turned around again and hurriedly retreated with Zhao Yingjun, my eyes inadvertently scanned the surrounding mountains and wilderness. I don’t know why, but at this moment, another idea suddenly came into my mind, or it was a premonition and a feeling.
Induction. I feel that Zheng Lifu, my adoptive father, is not in Bawangling.
We couldn't think about it at the moment, we walked very quickly, and after retreating for about twenty minutes, we encountered Uncle Lai.
There is not much to describe the process in between. In a short period of time, Uncle Lai was already under my gun.
I don’t know how long it’s been since I last saw him. Uncle Lai is still like that. To be honest, he is a low-key person, he owns a huge industry, but his clothes are very ordinary. But at this time, Uncle Lai’s calmness no longer exists, and he
Looking at the muzzle of the gun in front of me and me holding the gun, the corner of my mouth twitched slightly.
"No need to say anything." I looked at him as if he wanted to say something, and immediately stopped him. Many things did not need to be explained at all.
"All the property will be given to you. I don't want anything." There was a glimmer of desire in Uncle Lai's eyes, which was a strong desire to survive. He started to say something to me. Maybe he felt that he understood me very well.
My character, he can use words to resolve the murderous intention in my heart.
In fact, I had a deep understanding in the Bawangling cave, especially after Aunt Yu and Brother Wen fell into the canyon one after another, I realized the importance of tolerance and forgiveness to this world.
However, when I faced Uncle Lai, I gave up the idea of tolerance. If it was just that he had taken away my adoptive father's property and had been disadvantageous to me several times, I think I might have let him live. However, Uncle Lai was involved in
He has too many things. If he is let go, many people will be exposed. I can't take the risk.
"Uncle Lai." I shook my head slightly, feeling a little sad because I remembered that when I was a child, Uncle Lai once hugged me and played with me: "You may not have thought that the child you hugged back then would point a gun at him now.
Hold your head."
"Little boy..."
"Uncle Lai, now is not the time to be sensational." I closed my eyes slightly and said, "Have a good trip."
When I pulled the trigger, I felt that my mind was empty for a moment, and then various emotions intertwined in my thoughts. This shot seemed to break everything that restricted me, and it also seemed to shatter a dream.
Maybe, when I was young, I had all kinds of dreams in my heart, but when I really grew up, I realized that all I had to do was face reality, it was that simple.
Uncle Lai's body fell in front of him, and the bullet hole on his forehead was glaring with red blood.
We cleaned up the scene and returned quickly. According to Gongjue's judgment, even if the official forces don't come now, they won't be too far away. So we were ready to leave immediately. The guys below helped the injured people one by one.
Withdrew. When everyone was about to leave Bawangling, Gongjue stopped alone and stopped taking a step forward.
He didn't explain anything, and no one asked any questions. Xiang Tengxiao slowly walked up to Gongjue. In my impression, Gongjue was definitely not an easily emotional person, but at this time, he looked at Xiang Tengxiao.
, the tears in his eyes fell silently.
"Let's go together." Xiang Tengxiao grabbed Gong Jue's arm and wanted to pull him away.
"No, no, no." Gong Jue struggled to break free, with more and more tears in his eyes. He had been holding back, but it was uncontrollable. He broke free, staggered back again, and Xiang Tengxiao
Gongjue, who kept a distance and had a slightly dark face, said intermittently in less fluent Chinese: "I thought I would never see you again in my life, but now, I am content."
"Gongjue!" Jin Pingmei, who was being carried, shouted loudly from behind: "Let's go together! Let's bear this huge disaster together!"
"Don't force me to die here." Gongjue turned his head, not wanting anyone to see the tears in his eyes anymore. He waved his arms feebly: "Let's go, go quickly."
There are some sad memories that I don’t want to mention again. But those things remain in my mind and cannot be forgotten. Long after the incident, every time I see the distant scenery outside the window, I can’t help but think back to that time in Bawangling.
In the dusk of sunset, the figure is getting further and further away from us.
He stood there alone, waiting for the final judgment of fate. It was not that he could not resist, but he had more people in his heart.
In the past, I never knew the meaning of the word hero, because it covers a wide range of things and is difficult to explain. But every time when I think of Gong Jue and the man who is not good at words, I will feel that a person is willing to
If he abandons everything he owns, even his life, so that more people can live, then he is a hero.
We left Bawangling, but after leaving the mountain, we did not return immediately by the original route. Instead, we went in a circle and took another road. That road led to the mountains near Bawangling. At first, I didn’t know what to do.
, but then I thought about it and recalled that Xiang Tengxiao had looked there before. His eyes gradually changed when he looked at the distant mountains.
We walked along the mountain road to the highest mountain peak. When we were about to climb to the top of the mountain, I vaguely saw a person sitting quietly in front of a distant cliff.
When I saw this person, my eyes froze because I had never thought that there would be such a person in this world.
She is a girl, not very old. She is sitting quietly. Although we are still far away, she seems to have a strange sense of perception. She slowly turns her head and stares here.
When she saw Xiang Tengxiao, a smile bloomed on her fair face. That smile was like the most splendid fireworks bursting into the sky, so dazzling that everything lost its color.
